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

brenda,

not sure where you are, but have you gotten to the alliance part yet?

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

How much did I love the orc foundation Challenge? Not quite as much as that mass zombie challenge from a couple seasons ago which still wins on sheer volume, but a lot.

Aw, I will miss Matt and his glorious hair. I think I might have sent home someone from the chupacabra team, myself. That winning makeup was extra awesome for being put together from elements that could have gone horribly wrong.

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

The chupacabra team was bad. Though I get why they picked Matt. Also, the winning makeup was lucky they had a model who could move and make that come alive.

Amazing Race All Stars starts tonight, I think! I'll need some help on backstory for some of the teams, since I've only been watching for two years!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, thanks for the head's up!

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

CBS seems to have finally realized that adjusting the titles each season was bringing down their Tivo numbers - my season pass picked tonight's ep right up.

Oh, good--I will still double-check, but it had been on my mind to do so and I'd forgotten until I saw your post!

There hasn't been TAR since I moved, so I've had a lot of DVR rebuilding to do.

Just getting started and seeing who the teams are on TAR--OMG I cannot WAIT for some people to get eliminated. But NOOOOOOOO, not Bopper and Mark out before it starts!!!!! I do not know who this chick is.

I hate the You Tubers and "Brenchel" or whoever. Also not excited about the country singers, or the stupid surfer and his GF.

I'm a little surprised/annoyed at how many of the teams are from super recent seasons? I guess it makes sense both practically (the farther ago it was the less likely they are to still be together/willing to both do it/etc) but also ratings-wise (less history to go back to).

People I don't know and would like some backstory on: Globetrotters, mom and Deaf son, cowboys?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Globetrotters are awesome, but prone to mistakes. Cowboys are as you see them - smart, low drama, tend to go their own way. Which can backfire. Deaf kid is or was kind of an asshole sometimes, but they're all right for the most part.
