Also, I was kind of devestated by the final elimination. I seem to be acquiring a thing for beards? I mean, I also preferred his performance, but also that.
I was kind of torn on that one. I thought they both did a good job, and I liked both of them.
Elsewhere a friend of mine was talking about TAR, and points out that while we've had contestants who couldn't swim, or couldn't climb, or couldn't drive stick, we've now had one that can't ride in the back seat without vomiting.
(Which is a real thing for some people -- as long as they're in the front, preferably driving they're fine because it doesn't trigger their balance reflex as much. Cab rides aren't much fun in their universe. At least the team handled it with some grace (although laughing hysterically isn't necessarily recommended for most teams, it seems to have worked for them.))
How much do I love the Kentucky boys? They are awesome.
I know! They're real troopers. Although the "Is Azerbaijan in Africa" bit was a little worrisome.
Theo,
I am not watching TAR this season, but I get really car sick. It is probably my main problem with doing TAR. I can deal with it through accupressure wrist bands and by not reading in the car, but if I read in the car, and if the car sways a lot, I am doomed.
At least the team handled it with some grace (although laughing hysterically isn't necessarily recommended for most teams, it seems to have worked for them.))
It strikes me as something they've probably been joking about for some years.
I love them. Which I would not have anticipated based on the first ep. The border patrol guys have also turned out a lot better than I expected. (The "teachers", not so much.)
Speaking of - did anyone catch the quick remark from one of the country girls (or whatever they were called) that she's married to an NBA player? So, maybe not so much the down-home types they were playing at.
These days I'm usually the driver, but I take half a Dramamine for long car trips where I know I'll be in the back seat.
I used to get wicked carsick as a kid. I haven't tried to read as a passenger in forever, tho I know I can tolerate reading on a bus now.
I take meclazine which works like dramamine and does not make me sleepy if I know I 'm going to be in a motion sickness inducing situation (like having to sit in the back seat). I still wouldn't try to read in the car, though.
