I was most impressed with the contestant who actually held the scorpion by the stinger.
Bates & Anthony (Team Hockey Brothers) REALLY impressed last night -- do you know how hard it is to get the trick of lighting a fire by friction? They SO won their first place.
And the teams that chose 'fowl' as their initial choice were wise beyond words, and their placement reflected it. Team Over-Achievers because they had actually paid attention to nature and survival shows, and Team Country Life because they actually knew something about trapping.
Next week we get donkeys, and may I say, in advance: Never yell at the animals. (Unless, for some reason, the task is specifically to yell at the animals, but I don't think there's ever been one of those.)
I love the hockey guys. They're having such a blast every leg.
I think I was over tired last week and missed the highly offensive thing that the show had to apologize for. . . ummm, what was it?
Yeah, I missed it, too. I was very confused by the show's opening.
Oh, I thought that was from the 60 Minutes show. I missed the Offensive Thing as well.
Has to have been the song.
It was the song the Vietnam chorus was singing, which was essentially, "Yay socialism," I guess. I didn't really get it.
Yeah, it was the "Woo! Socialism!" song. Facebook had suggested I might be interested in some blog posts about it earlier in the week.
Good lord. I guess upon some reflection I can kinda sorta see that there might be people still sore about the Vietnam war who might take it as stomping on their faces, but I wouldn't have thought it in advance.
