Shit - that means the TiVo at home didn't get it. And my Dad's watching football here.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that they made a point that this village isn't all there is to Burkina Faso.

Also, I think it's funny that even the Ethiopian-Americans are all, "The Africans are always so friendly!" I've never been to Africa, but I'm pretty sure it's not a continent full of only jolly people.

This U-turn thing is turning out to be kind of fascinating. Not the thing itself, but the responses of the various teams.

The U-turn is new this cycle? Instead of the Yield?

Yep, it is. I like it better, because the teams can determine how long they are delayed--if they do the second task quickly, the U-turn can backfire on the team that made them do it. The only enjoyable Yield to watch was the first one, where Colin went into slow burn and started the road to "My ox is broken!!"

I'm assuming.
It's nice to see that teams have thought about it - a few of them at least, e.g., "we're not using it because we're not at the back of the pack" etc.
If it had been Jason and Lorena coming up on the blondes like they thought, then they did exactly the right thing, and for the right reasons. As it panned out, it didn't matter, since it was just way too short a leg for J & L to make up their time deficit out of the gate. Which is too bad, since I liked them a lot more this leg than I have before.
WTF was with that "it's our turn to come in first! Phiiiiiil, make them stop" shit at the finish? That team can start losing any time.

Oh, I wanted to smack her for that whining.
