Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought taking the penalty was brilliant -- what are the odds all the teams AREN'T all on the same flight (or, at most, split across two flights) out of Bora Bora??

TAR: The penalty gambit was a good move but I just hate that team and cannot wait for them to be gone which of course probably means they will win. I think the firemen should've just kept digging. They were bound to hit on it somewhere before 4 hours ran out. Eh. I enjoyed most of the other teams, or at least I wasn't completely annoyed by them. I'm rooting for Cancer Dad and Son.

RPDR: Peanut and Nick choreographing the queens and Peanut on the panel! Love, love, love. I was also really happy with who Ru sent home.

What kat said. On both shows.

I haven't picked a team yet on TAR, waiting to see how things sort out after a couple more episodes.

Yeah, Roomie and I discussed why the firefighters didn't just turn around and dig for a few more hours. But I guess at that point they had already left the beach and taken the next clue for the canoe, and couldn't. It would be really hard to watch two teams go ahead of you and just hope you could dig another couple hours and still make it...if instead you could just go with them and hope/assume you could canoe faster!

Because books.

The penalty thing confused me. And it was such false advertising -- no one quit! Not permanently. I was peeved.

I already don't like the blonde with the shorter husband. The Barbie hair annoyed me, right or wrong.

I just thought they were so lame, all "oh, we don't make friends because we ARE JUST TOO AWESOME. But we'll fake it because we HAVE TO." Like, geez, you two are total assholes and proud of it. Annoying. I was hoping they'd be eliminated.

For SYTYCD fans, Travis Wall choreographed drag queens on last night's RuPaul's Drag Race, and was a judge!

Also, side note - Honey Mahogany DID NOT KNOW WHO DIANA ROSS WAS. She should have lost on that alone!

And for the twist at the end, I literally hollered out "Oooh, SNAP!!"

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

Like, geez, you two are total assholes and proud of it.

Yeah, they can go any time. "Put on her best girl face" my ASS.

I think according to the rules, once you've taken the penalty and received the clue, you can't go back and complete the challenge.

I was surprised we didn't see any of the teams taking a two-minute swim break, given the heat.

So far my favorites are the twin doctors because I have a thing for twins, and the derby moms because I always root for the mom teams.

Also, the twins are adorable. I like the roller derby moms, too.
