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

I can see why it's good television, but if I were in the race I'd make my teammate put duct tape over their mouths before every Roadblock, because it would drive me absolutely bugfuck insane.

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

Ok - THAT, I would love to see. A team rolling into the roadblock, duct tape at the ready....

"We have trust issues." Mylar

why didn't the grandson do that?

Seemed like basically because the grandpa wanted to do it. I also think they (more than most teams even) are going to have to be really clever about how they dole out the roadblocks. Anything that looks like gramps can do it, he should do, because there will definitely be some of the more physical roadblocks that he just cannot do. Imagine him trying to scale up a rock wall like one of the Bowling Moms did? Ain't no way.

I still really can't believe that four teams picked the bike task over the haul it. Do they not remember Lena and the moment TAR:FE died forever (damn red bean!)?

TAR: Finally watched the episode. The Dad is bad, but the tall boyfriend (Nathan?) also repeated a lot of his "not helpful" behavior from last week and somehow annoyed me just as much. I loved when the ministers said the God doesn't care thing! And I've decided one of the Miami sisters is the secret sibling of Alyssa Milano.

I can see why people chose the bikes--knot tying and heavy lifting? However, then you can't run willy-nilly up the aisles barely looking!

I was surprised nothing came of the brother/sister not paying for the train. Aren't there rules about that sort of thing?

I thought they just bought their tickets on the train instead of waiting at the window.

Yeah, they said that was their plan. They just didn't show it happening.

Is that possible in Amsterdam? I know in France, or San Francisco for that matter, you'd be screwed. And they both check often.

You can do it in Chicago (Amtrak or Metra). It just costs a little more.
