Oo, has my visit escalated to F2F level? How exciting!

Also, I am now missing the question girls. The lady who replaced them is having a VERY LOUD cell phone conversation about her friend's sex life of whom, evidently, she doesn't approve.

ETA: Aaaaand, now I know all about her shrink and her sleeping pills and how she is in a pissy mood and...not that I don't sympathize, but do I really need to know about this?

You should start offering advice to her. Loudly.

Kristin, view it as all being material for yoour novel.

I never get to do good eavesdropping lately.

well, you'll be here. And you have a face. And we have faces, soooooo . . .

Looks like Fossett landed back in Salina, KS--record set!

oops! wrong thread

Was this a while ago, or is Whistler actually younger than I am?

TAR: The TWOP boards are all outraged that the producers planted that guy who helped out Rob and Ambah during last week's episode. (The evidence for this seems to consist primarily of "it was so obvious!" ) Have these people never seen Quiz Show? Or heard the word fraud? Or is it me who's missing something here?

TAR: Actually, that is the interview I want -- that guy. I want for him to emerge from his Peruvian vision quest and be interviewed, just to say, "Hey, I thought it was kind of cool."

Of course, it is basically evidence that TAR has reached that saturation point where people know what it is, and respond accordingly, rather than just look quizzically at the racers and not lend them cellphones.

That's been a fairly big problem the past few seasons (people knowing the show, and trying to get on TV by helping the racers out), to the point where the producers now plant fake racers on alternate routes to divert attention and prevent spoilers.
