Trust my rage

I almost never watch anymore but I just can never find it on. I haven't looked in a while, but it was not available to DL in the past, which also made it hard.

I am so surprised by the teams that saw the sign (snowboarders and showgirls) vs the teams that missed it (almost everyone else). I probably would have missed the sign, even though it was big, sitting on the table next to the envelopes and bordered in red, because I would probably be fixated on giving the cash and getting to the pit stop. The snowboard dudes (don't "dude" me, dude) are pretty cool. The brother and sister team bickering is going to get old really fast.

Mom & Dad also read the sign, which truly saved them.

Loved the Asian girl (Christine?) and her reaction to being asked to rappell into the cave. Not all that many people would be enthusiastic about it.

That was one hell of a long leg -- overnight to an all-day flight, then an overnight train ride. Then some high-intensity tasks, then The Fine Print just as the teams are at a fever pitch.

My hat is off to the producer in charge of Fiendish Tasks.

This!

Yeah I had forgotten that they had, also the Son/Dad team (I'm not a big fan of theirs for personal reasons - they sorta like the limelight at the peril of their kids)

Um,

Afro Blue has the real stuff. Damn damn. I really liked both performances, but their first was just amazing.

Because books.

The Sinatra number -- with the hats! and the suits! and the cute boys! -- really made me swoony.

And the guy singing to Sara was awesome in a watch-from-the-hall way.
