I was disappointed that the flight attendant mom and daughter on TAR were falling apart so bad. Also OMG WTF with the peeing!?!?!?
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Oh yeah, with the peeing. (If you're absolutely going to do it, jump off the boat and hunker down in the opaque water, please.)

I think because they are superfans, the daughter remembers that season where the African American sisters team got eliminated because one of them had to stop to pee on the way to the pit stop. She was probably thinking, "No way is that going to happen to me." But I agree that melting down this early is worrying. What happens when you get to India and Killer Fatigue is setting in?
I am liking the season so far. I still don't like the Dentists but I give it to them. They are very strong competitors. I love the Soul Surfers. They just seem like genuinely lovely people. They work well together and they enjoy the race. I guess surviving your arm getting bitten off in such spectacular fashion will bring some perspective to your life.

So Twitch is going to be in the new Magic Mike movie. I didn't need another reason to see it, but that certainly is one.

Awesome!
...I would like an LAista movie outing for this, I think.

Note to self: if competing on TAR, do not ask for directions in a bar. Not that the firefighters would have lasted with an ankle that injured.
And my rules about dealing with animals on tasks is vividly illustrated by the sheep herding challenge, where the people who yelled and ran just extended their misery, whereas ambling, whispering, and gently waving arms got the sheep behaving.
The dentists, alas, remain uber-competent. (The guy has probably got spreadsheets detailing various approaches to past challenges on TAR. Spreadsheets!)

Because books.
I'm sort of shocked, too. That said, I feel like I know what I would have seen from Emily, and I have no idea what Char will show.
Korina, wow. I guess that's not really violating a contract -- I mean, it's "reality" TV -- but I've never seen someone be so petty and self-centered. I can't imagine anyone, viewers and producers alike, would want her back for an All Stars season now, either.
The five looks chosen seemed odd, though. Why wasn't Alexander's there, when he went home long after Mitchell? Or were the producers choosing based on the kind of losing looks available, rather than just chronologically?
Also, I want Amanda's dress so much it HURTS. I love it like cake.
