Why, oh why, oh why, does TAR always have to air the bluck of its runs when I'm smack in the middle of a show, and can't ever watch it.

And why won't they sell on iTunes or rebroadcast the entire episode over the web. I WANT TO WATCH THE SHOW! But they make it so difficult to actually achieve this with the tech I have.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Don't get me wrong. I am loving the goths. Just the ears . . . I have to keep blocking them out is all.

And also, I cannot believe that it took the hippie couple that long to switch who was doing the hoisting and who was doing the receiving, especially after the obnoxious huge-tiny team switched and finished almost immediately.

Also, also, the blondes won a little bit of respect with busting out the hoist task.

OMG! I could not hate Who's Your Daddy? any more than I do right at this very moment. What an ass!

Man, that dad in the father/daughter couple is something else. I'll bet her siblings could have told her to count her blessings that he never had time to focus on her. He's appalling.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ok, high on my list of things I never ever needed to see is grandpa in his muddy undies.

Can't believe how many people missed the drop-off sign.

OMG! That dad is a nightmare! Nightmare! She should try to get herself eliminated as soon as possible.

And never, ever hear the end of it? Not that it matters - if he failed at a task, it would be her fault for something or other anyway. But still.

Exactly. He was just foul tonight.

Awww. Lesbian ministers. I suppose it wasn't a surprise, but sad nonetheless.

Still liking the goths, the hippie couple, the brother/sister (though again, why the hand holding and skipping - why so touchy, siblings?). We didn't have to see a lot of the huge-tinies, so that was nice. And the other couple had a less annoying week because they were doing well, although it looks like they are back in fine form next week.

Punishingly Intricate

Her little "I'm a big old dork" shrug when she was talking about the macramé made me love her forever.

Me too!

My dvr didn't catch the end. rassenfrassen. But I guess the ministers didn't make it. So sad especially after their thing about being religious but having no illusions about God giving a crap about the race. awesome!

Also, still hate hate hate couples who call each other "baby."

So annoying! I just cringed everytime someone said it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Yay! Chef Symon won! Besh is a good guy, but I think Symon has a lot more of the personality that Iron Chef needs. Granted, given that he's buddies with Bourdain (as demonstrated in the awsome No Reservations in Cleveland w/ special guest Harvey Pekar), you'd think he might be wary of the gig, but he seems a good fit.

Art Crawl!!!

TAR: Sean - last week the episode showed up on youtube. I will post a link if one appears.

Also: still loving the Goths. Yes, the macrame thing was adorable. And I could not believe that father. MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP when you're daughter is trying to concentrate. I loved that one of the Latina team was a track and field person so naturally did the ditch vault. The entire concept of ditch vault had me laughing and laughing. But back to the detour: I couldn't believe it took that one couple so long to switch jobs. Sheesh. And back to the roadblock: NEVER would be too soon to see grandpa in his muddy undies. (And did he really tell Phil that he stripped down further than that?)
