I was in Israel that summer. Even the crickets were chirping The Macarena.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I heard it in Italy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Against All Odds" is also not a good song. I say this as a child of the 80s who would stop my life to listen to the song when it came on the radio, but musically? It is very very basic. And hard for someone to sing well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
"I Believe I Can Fly" got sung endlessly at graduations and stuff for a while there.
I haven't been to a graduation since my own from law school.
It's been longer than that since I went to church.
I do know the Macarena though.

Awww, I have fondness for Against All Odds. Probably because I, too, am an 80s child. It reminds me of a summer spent at the Hollywood Boys and Girls Club. Good times. Good times.
And yeah, it is ridiculously hard to sing, especially because any girl who sings it tries to go for the Mimi version rather than the Phil Collins original and she definitely takes it to a place that most singers can't go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not sure I've ever seen anything better than these TAR people trying to learn Welsh. Possibly because I've long been a fan of how the words look written down, and the pronunciation is more amazing that I ever dreamed!!

Trying to do that with travel fatigue...I'm impressed that they got it done at all.
I didn't like the top four and like the top three even less.

I am also less than thrilled with this top three, especially considering that there were so many teams in this All Stars go round that I actually liked a lot. That said, two of the three teams have consistently performed well this race, so I can't hate that much. The third team is bleagh, but I have faith that they have zero shot at actually winning.
This was an enjoyable leg and tough! This season has been pretty good, all things considered. And next week, Vegas, baby! Looks like it will be fun. Wish we could've had a better winner.

I liked the Afghanimals a lot more this time around. I don't know if it's just the editing or a little more wisdom and maturity on their part.

I'm scared that Rachel will have useful Vegas knowledge.
On feminist principles, but against game principles, I'd be happy if the singers won.
