You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

OMG, yes, le nubian! I normally would be fast forwarding on TiVO, but got caught up, and suddenly...I had it stuck in my head for the next hour or so. Made me giggle.

But I dislike the "To Be Continued"! Even while I wonder if there will be "you didn't do this right" bits coming up--it seemed like at one point it was "pick someone to be the wheelbarrow person", and a couple people traded off? But then Phil didn't say anything to the beards, and I thought they had, so maybe not. Also..OMG HOCKEY GIRLS. LEARN TO DRIVE STICK. I mean, I don't know how, but (a) the person I would do the race with does and (b) I would LEARN if I got chosen.

'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"

I'm amazed at the Oklahoma boys because my first reaction when I learned a team didn't know stick would involve a lot of laughter on my part.

I'm wondering about the taxi rides to the fish place at this point. Would love to see what the exact wording on the instructions were.

Plus, the picture of the longhouse left in the rocks. Is that going to come into play next week?

Usually if you leave part of a clue behind you have to go back for it before Phil can check you in, but I'm not sure of the rules in a double leg.

It occurred to me that the midnight sun would be pretty great for letlag on this race - doesn't matter what time your body clock is on, it's light all the time!

My god, Norway is fucking gorgeous. Is there anything for tourists to do there other than admire glaciers and make fun of lutefisk?

I hope Pink Hair gives the express pass to the doctors. I like them and want them to have it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I also enjoy the turning-it-back-on-them aspect, since Pink Hair has been so shitty about saying to people, "Help us because we have the Express Pass."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Check me out, watching Face Off practically in real time! And it's a rough week. The winning look is kind of brilliant, and next week looks like a good time.

Vulture's 25 Most Amazing Amazing Race Teams.

I don't get how Team Cha-Cha-Cha isn't on that list.

No Clowns, no Virgins, no Cha-Cha-Cha, no Will and Tara, no Doublemint/Zoolander...this list is Not My List.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"We have trust issues." Mylar

A list of Top 25 TAR teams without The Guidos? Uchenna and Joyce make it on the list over Chip and Kim? Automatically invalid. There were teams on that list that I barely even remember.
