Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I disagree with it, purely from aesthetic reasons. The one she let go home was sex on a fucking stick.

You are not wrong! I disagreed with almost all of the choices.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Am I the only one still watching TAR? That last leg was brutal. I can't imagine going from a task as physical as the watermelons straight into that roadblock. I wasn't at all surprised that two teams barely finished.

Because books.

We watched, Jessica. The watermelon task was insane, but the harps seemed really hard to me, too. I was half expecting a non-elim leg, too, but I guess not.

I think the watermelons would have been just physically exhausting, and then being that tired having to balance a bottle on your head...dang.

Yeah, the bottle thing was also awful. It was a hard leg. And the combat pilot looked so unhappy, even though he and his wife managed to make it through -- I bet he was not pleased he didn't do well.

They used their Express Pass in the third leg and still came in 6th! I mean, it probably saved them from elimination, but still, that's not gonna feel good.

We missed the second episode, and I guess I wasn't paying strict attention during the first one -- I had no idea the one female team was federal agents. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the others find out they're not teachers.

The Voice: All of the song choices seemed so weird. "Total Eclipse of the Heart," really?

Yeah, that was brutal. I was surprised those twins didn't do better overall, just from looking at them in the first episode. You never know!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think they made a big mistake having the musician twin, rather than the athlete, do that final challenge.

From last week - how do you have Diego Maradona as your greeter and not introduce him?!

I know! My son was all "hey! that's Diego Maradona" Only Andrew recognized him.

This week's legs were just brutal. The Kentucky boys glee at being in air conditioning was pretty funny.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the others find out they're not teachers.

Yeah, especially since Art and JJ and Dave and Rachel have teamed up due to them being government employees.
