Seriously, sumi. Although to my not-perfect ear, it sounds like the standards for "tuned" were pretty low. I can see why they thought it was a good idea, though -- most tasks on the race don't call for any particular skill other than willingness.

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.

Yeah, the difficulty with doing the task is balanced by the ease in figuring out the clue once they have it. And I wonder can anyone really come back from a 12= hour deficit ?

Yes, they are and seriously? Arriving in the dark must make it even eerier. Also, I guess they figured out a way to get people caught pretty darn quickly.

Yeah. That was a nice balance of having them there, but not doing some stupid ass task. Although, it reminds me that I wish there had been a little more consciousness about the landmine task.

Okay, what happens if someone is a vegetarian??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In March I got a job and didn't go to the ER once. That's not inconsiderable.
However, I am greedy. Harrumph.
Just got a lovely email from someone chastising me for not having Eduardo Verastegui pictures up on my site. I replied to her that I did, and found one more for giggles. As I was going through my unsorted pictures, I found some more, put them up, and emailed her about it. She ends her email with:
You have one of the most interesting internet hobbies out there. Blog schmog.
Which is sweet.
I do have pie, though...

Yeah, I figured that out. The kids were distracting me and I thought they had to do both.
