I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Right - neither of those teams are/were going to make the final without a lot of luck, and they are both mistake prone enough that you really want them there if you can swing it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was stupid on the part of the other leading teams as well, of course, but I feel like they are more "team" oriented (to their detriment at this point), where I would have thought Max and Katie would be more ruthless. Although looking back, they couldn't have U-Turned Bates and Anthony anyway, since they got there first.

Because books.

Survivor Jesus is so perfect. He was very focused on flipping his lovely locks last night, too.

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

He already gave her the idol this episode

Oh that's right. Though I think they had all agreed in advance that she had dibs on it as the winner of the challenge.

No Amazing Race watchers? I'm very happy with the ending. I love a team that's enthusiastic, good-natured, and doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Yeah, I'm really happy for them. Solid win! And fun last set of challenges. (Fun to watch, anyway!)

Me too. (But have none of these people ever been to a wedding?)

Sunday night live television is Mad Men & Game of Thrones - TAR has to wait.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Nice guys do win, sometimes. Loved the remark that they'd had plenty of time on plane flights to learn geography from staring at maps. :-)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, hockey boys!

Although also agree about the dining and the color chartreuse!
