You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I would think that this would be the hard part.

And whoot, Allyson! Weird, yes, but still cool.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Good question, Cindy. I honestly have no real feel for the show.

Cass, I think P-C is sending us secret, coded messages, possibly subliminal ones.

I'm with Cass though; I have no feel for the show, yet. Someone give me something to sing about.

Concubines?
Possibly. But we need to unionize if so, because I'm not feeling the pay, either.

Crazy?
Absolutely, but that's not new.

Cute?
Ditto.

Cindy, did my review of the pilot script not give you enough of a feel? I haven't seen the unaired pilot, but I get the sense that it's a very fast-paced show where things are always at risk for the characters because they're always rushing to the next checkpoint, but while the present action is moving along at a brisk pace, the audience has the secondary journey of learning why each character is racing, be it voluntary or not, and what's really going on behind the scenes of the Race.

I think Lost meets The Amazing Race is a pretty accurate way of describing the general sense/feel of the show. Although it's more The Amazing Race meets Lost.

Could we be ....

Carrot-eaters?
