That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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

Aw, I was all excited for the father-daughter team. READ THE CLUE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, but didn't they screw it up the second time? I thought the father had done the hang gliding or whatever and the clue said the other person had to row the boat, no?

No, it was the opposite - since the first Roadblock clue was "Who wants to follow the leader" (or something), the active participant in that one was actually the person in the taxi. The non-participant i.e. the paraglider was the one who had to do the rowing.

My list of Things To Know Before You Go On The Show has expanded yet again: know how to row, right up there with Know How to Swim and Know How To Drive Stick.

Oh man, it was painful watching the people who had never been in a rowboat before. Thank god for that one guy who used to row crew.

You've got to love it though, when two of the neo-rowers literally fell off their benches the first time they tried.

I've paddled canoes and kayaks, I don't know how I'd do with regular oars, but I do have some generally understanding of physics and mechanical know-how.

Ohhhh, right. No wonder it was confusing.

I think that bodes well for the season that they are complicating things a bit for the teams.
