This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And it was such false advertising -- no one quit! Not permanently. I was peeved.

Seriously.

Because books.

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

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

Something about the twins has me concerned. They seem very hung up on the idea of things being "fair". I sense a breakdown when they get a bum cab driver or they miss a flight or something. The fuss over not finding a clue in the sand seems like the tip of the iceberg. At least to me. I'd love it if they prove me wrong.

Stephen was sure they were going to be one of the teams to quit.

Weren't they the ones who came up with the ridiculous 1-2 deal as well?

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

I thought this was Lynesha. Honey said she had never done Diana before, but I didn't think she said she didn't know who Diana was. At any rate, say what you will about her being form Puerto Rico or whatever, but Lynesha's ass should have also known who Diana Ross is. She's an international superstar, baby! And both their Diana's sucked ass, so there's that.

Weren't they the ones who came up with the ridiculous 1-2 deal as well?

Yes the twins came up with the 1-2 deal which I got the distinct impression that most of the other teams agreed to so as not to create drama from the jump before they even got out of LAX. I don't think anyone but them was ever all that into it. And I hate when people come onto this show and try to play it like it's Survivor or something. Yeah, I'm not really feeling them all that much, but they might improve with time.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I thought this was Lynesha.

You might be right about that. Point being that she should have turned in her gay card.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Amen. I think not knowing Ms. Ross (The Boss) might just be grounds for turning in your "I'm fabulous" card in general, gay, straight, whatever. Who doesn't know Diana Ross? Sad, sad little people. That's who.

Now I will go light a candle, let the wax drip on me and my silk bathrobe and scream out "I'm a winner, baby" while blithely tossing Billy Dee aside. Or something like that.

Dude, I'm just freaked out by twin OB/GYNs. Had they really never heard of "Dead Ringers"?
