This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Jesse, It also replays on Oxygen, if you get that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yeah, I was able to watch last week's ep on the Oxygen rerun (IIRC, it was Tuesday night at 10 eastern).

I called Delilah's getting booted after their performance, and I was sad to find out I was right about Afro Blue being in the bottom two, as well. The judges will forgive not connecting with a song, but they will not forgive bad notes and missed harmonies.

The Aires might have been a bit off this week, but their taking off their hats for Sara's critique was so darn adorable!

Next week is R&B week, so Afro Blue can work it!

The one group remaining that I cannot love is Vocal Point. Cute mormon boys, okay, but they are not interesting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Although R&B is still not jazz -- I was glad it was acknowledged that they are always out of their genre.

Well, no, but R&B is closer to jazz than Twisted Sister or Carrie Underwood.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I feel sacrilegious at the very thought of criticizing Afro Blue, but... my only wish, other than that they'd eliminate some of the overly, overly complex arrangements (even though yes, they sound incredibly awesome while they do them) is that Christie (I think it's Christie) stop smiling that same small smile every time they're out there. It doesn't matter what the tone of the song is -- angry, sad, happy, whatever... she's got the same smile. Her expression doesn't match what she's singing.

Art Crawl!!!

Bunny Agility!!!!!

So, so happy to see that.

Wish I still had a bunny so I could train it in Rabbit Agility.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The bunnies were great. That looked like a much simpler task than the churning.

Am so tired of Cindy. "We have to come in first." Sure first is nice and there are prizes, but really it only matters on the last leg. Chill out. I did love that despite being U-Turned, Bill and Cathi came in second.

See, I get Cindy. I thought it was kind of a dick move to U-Turn Bill and Cathi, but I totally get where she's coming from and I like her. I think I see myself in her.

That said, I would've been happy with either of the last two teams going home.

(This is the first year I've ever watched Amazing Race, because it's now on right before Good Wife, and my roomie watches both, so I've started watching both...)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm so tired of Amani and Marcus. I like them, but they are terrible racers. They didn't even try to get a better flight, just slept in the airport. Arrrghh. That's just some really bad game play. Yet they keep getting saved by someone just a little bit worse than they are.

Also, Cindy needs to chill the hell on out. They likely would've beaten Bill and Cathi anyway, even without the u-turn. And btw, coming in first only matters on the last leg. And Race karma is a bitch. I'm just saying. Bill and Cathi, on the other hand? Kick all kinds of ass. Now that's how you effectively use your u-turn powers. And did you peep Cathi's abs in the preview? Great gosh almighty!
