a) why did the group decide to cook the chickens when it looks like they all had food at the reward challenge.

b) Jeff said in his column at EW that he thinks John should have shared the pie. What do you all think?

More and more, I hate the way the auctions work. Hate the covered things. Hate that they can't decide to share food or money. Hate the ending suddenly.

Did Russell really not buy anything? I thought at the very least he would want the non-food items, or, rather, not want anyone else to have them.

And for once I agree with Jeff: I can't wait to see what happens next.

Did Russell really not buy anything?

Not that I recall. I don't even remember him bidding on anything. Surprised me too.

...and this is why Erika and Brian won't win TAR -- the freaking out does not help.

I'm pretty sure I know who's winning from the promos anyway.

I think I knew that six weeks ago.

Oh yay, I was wrong. From the promo the clip of the brothers running looked so totally like a finish line run that I was getting anxious at the end.

Shane and Megan really managed to turn their coming into the casino last into a fast exit. that was impressive.

Erica just can't handle disappointment can she?

So glad the brothers stayed true to form.

I can't believe Erika and Brian didn't have their stacks leveled. Seriously, listening to the sound of those chips just made me want to go to Vegas ASAP.

Leaving Prague to go to Las Vegas seems like my idea of being kicked out of heaven and falling into hell.

That Cirque challenge would have been damn near impossible for the Globetrotters. I suppose the rebound bounce would have been in their favor, but only if they were able to get off the ground in the first place.

Hee! Now I'm picturing them doing it by leaving the launch person out of it entirely and just using the bungees to build on their own vertical leap. Could work.
