The wrestlers do kinda crack me up.

I always feel bad when one task seems to just be impossible, though. Like that greased pole.

The blue grotto looked gorgeous! But dang, so much of this ep was about falling into the water! That said, they should not have been surprised Bethany can swim well--duh? She's a surfer??

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

I know, right? Yes, she only has one arm. But she is also a professional athlete in a water-based sport, so...

Oh man. I'm sad the cyclists didn't make it. But really--competing against professional surfers on that fast forward? Bad plan. But clearly this episode was the "learn to trust no one" time--between the Dentists just taking the word for it that that was the earliest flight, and the Scientists believing the Wrestlers about the clue...

Also, that tightrope thing would've killed me.

No one else still watching Amazing Race? Stupid Friday night time slot.

I'll be interested to see who wins--I feel like two of the final four are totally teams I would've bet on, and two are...not.

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

I've been watching, but not live. No one has grabbed my attention other than Bethany and her hubby.

OK, I have just started watching this week's PR so I don't know how the challenge will play out, but I LOVE the idea of the dice. ETA Dang that is a lot of brocades.

And still not even getting to any of the designs - I love the black and white dress Sam wears to Mood. I feel like I ought to love the wacky diagonal suit that Zanna wears to the workroom but I don't really.

I do like the guest judge this week.

TAR: I was rooting for the cyclists, now that they're out I'm on Team Eaten By A Shark. The dentists are very good racers and if they win I won't be *too* upset, but I just don't like them as people.

Survivor: YAY BLINDSIDE. BYE BYE JOHN! I want Nadia to win this thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, they are all losing it on TAR.
