'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
TAR: I was glad that Ron and Kelly went with the columns, too, sumi--it sounded like such a cool place!
Neatest bit about the episode: Rob wasn't in third because he wasn't on the earlier flight, he was in third because he opened his big mouth and made the first two teams think twice about their flights and they went looking for the earlier flight, which they wouldn't have done if it wasn't for Rob! Probably my favorite non-elim episode ever, just because of that little fact.
Cereal: Actually, I think that Uchenna and Joyce had a more difficult time at the detour due to fewer people in the square, between the earlier time and being in first place--M&G and Romber had more time for news to spread about the camera crews .
And yet they still maintained their nice lead. And I think that you're right about Rob opening his big mouth -- causing his own downfall.
Re TAR: I hate to be a fan of a commercial, but I kind of love the gnome ads. So I was happy to see them.
And I love Uchenna and Joyce, too. There's something about a guy who can call his wife his princess and not sound at all chauvinistic... I'm so happy they're getting their game on.
I want to like Meredith and Gretchen, but gawd! The whining! I admire her toughness even while I wish she would just. shut. up. I'm so glad Rob's taunting came back to bite him in the ass.
Oh, and I liked how they did the awarding of the prize--everyone had an equal chance of getting it. Now that everything's getting a bit tighter, I'd be surprised if Ron and Kelly get as much generosity out of the other teams as Gretchen and Meredith did .
And am getting too many emails from mortgage people.
YAY mortgage people!!
Susan, your neighbor should not keep you from getting your mail, no matter what you're expecting or not.
Kathy -- What you said -- I bet that nobody will want to help Ron and Kelly out the way that Uchenna and Joyce helped out Gretchen and Meredeth.
VM: Wow. And I guess that what? Veronica opens a can of whoopass on Logan ?
I spent half of TAR saying, "Hey Rob, how big are those shoes? Open wide!" How adorable was it that Meredith named the gnome? Jerome the gnome! It made me tense to watch Gretchen climbing the tower, but her constant stream of comments and exclamations amuse me.
And I just watched 24. Dude! Chloie kicking some ass! I must go back and read the white font.
aurelia -- that's mostly what we were whitefonting about!
