That's the scary thing. They're both dumb as rocks, but with a competitive streak that somehow cuts through the fog when something's on the line. They could actually go far.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

TAR: Ugh, why did Rachel and Brendon seem so competent?
Indeed! Though I was not upset at who went home. I roll my eyes at the new york boys, but figure they won't be long behind and am hoping they might be entertaining in the meantime. I like Army guy, but worry he and his wife might be annoying together (it's never a good plan when you announce "we're hoping this will bring us back together". Seriously? Get a therapist, not a stressful sleepless adventure!)
I did roll my eyes at the not-driving-stick. I mean, I just started watching last season and I know that you need to learn to drive stick before embarking on the show!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Argh! I forgot it was starting. Do I need to know anything about the first one?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Always know how to drive a stick! Also, seriously, listen to your mother.

I do think the teams are sorting themselves more quickly than usual into competent v. not long for this race.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I agree. And it seems overall the contestants are fitter in general this round? So maybe the whole competition is going to be more extreme, aka skydiving, for the 20th?
Ugh, why did Rachel and Brendon seem so competant?
And I think they have the reality show benefit. They're not freaked out by the cameras or by the sense of competition.
I was all OMGcryingclown! On the first leg? Ovary up, woman!
eta: I would already be out because they did two things I can't do already, bike and drive stick.

I did like the misdirect on the detour. I hope this is a trend.

Because books.
I couldn't believe the girls who went home. Phil's face was priceless. "Where are they going?"

Of course. Unless she's telling you to learn how to drive stick before going on The Amazing Race.
