TAR: OMG! TheCho bros faked out the Beauty queens so that Team Kentucky could get the FF! Then they waited around before going back to do the tower climb and knew they were putting themselves in last place by doing it! I think that was the most selfless thing I've ever seen on TAR.

And the best part? Evil Peter is gone and Sara called him selfish and unsympathetic to Phil! Woot!

Jesse, I couldn't believe he was making her do another climbing one!

That pretty much rocked! Plus, camels!

ETA: Wasn't that insane??? And then later - if he takes us to the right place, you need to get your head in the game. Hello? The fuck have you been doing for the last three legs, except driving. And not so well at that. So glad they're over.

TAR: So happy to see Peter and Sarah gone! And very thankful that the Chos didn't get screwed for helping Kentucky. That was one of the most kind (and strategically done) things I've seen in a long time on this race.

Oh, lord, and Kentucky: I always wanted to be a firefighter. And this - it makes you feel like you're someone important, for five minutes...

I've grown to love them so much.

I close the door when I'm using the bathroom with people over, and dislike having conversations when enstalled in a public restroom. I won't cut a conversation off if the other person tries to continue it in those circumstances, but I do really wish very hard they'd stop.

Hasn't worked yet.

eta: The TAR talk is oddly fascinating. Go Kentucky! At least I think that's what I mean. Time to watch CSI.

While staying with a friend in Pittsburgh, I got to catch up on CSI because Comcast has network on demand. I wish I had it--Time Warner doesn't offer this for network programming, just cable stuff. I *could* theoretically watch stuff online but I really like it on my tv.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sorry I missed Andy Rooney tonight.

I don't close the bathroom door when I'm home alone with the kids because I'm usually trying to keep an eye and an ear open for them.

I seem to have On Demand, but it's wacky with the TiVo. And I do like watching TV curled up in bed with my laptop.

I share my bed with my Powerbook, a stuffed moose, and my cellphone.

I could be more single, but the body pillow keeps falling off onto the floor.

TAR: Kentucky have definitely been the team that really has surprised me this race. They could have been the stereotypical hicks from the coal mines, not interested in the world outside or people Not Like Us. Instead, they've been the most openminded, kindhearted (except for Mary's tendency to yell at her husband, but I guess that's the way they relate) team I've seen in some time on this show. Much better than Freddy and KKKendra from TAR6! But, I'm hoping the *Wyns end up winning the whole thing--after the first ep, the Moslem team said that the Chos were their favorite people from the race, and I can totally see why.

Oh, and before I forget, congratulations to Jessica and Ethan!!!

TAR: Ding dong the dick is dead! I am so so glad that team is gone. And I was super happy to see Sarah not hold back and give it to him with both barrels. He is so delusional. "We're both so hard-headed. We just butt heads." Uh, no. How about you are a psycho, controlling asshole and she is a woman who just woke up with a severe case of buyer's remorse? The next team that really needs to go are the Beauty Queens. And it's a shame because I really, really liked them the first couple of episodes. Now, don't get me wrong. I know that Lyn and Karlyn haven't been saints, but the BQs are really chapping my ass.

TAR: Must have been a strained time in Loserville for Peter & Sarah, but she's coming out a winner anyway, because breaking up with him is a good and wise thing! And with everyone else, I'm breathing a big sigh of relief that the Chos' generous gesture didn't make them pay big.

Can it really be that we're to this point in the season and there's only one team I have serious complaints about?
