If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Wow, that's hard core. Not that I wouldn't have done it in a heartbeat, and already be planning how to embellish it with locations I'd been and TAR logos and possibly Phil's face etc etc, but still.

ION, thank god for non-elims. Though I have Issues with having prizes and non-elim and FF all in the same leg.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I like the new twist on the non-elim. So much better than the Phil mugging.

Don is so my 70 year old TV boyfriend! Although, despite the lame attempts at drama, I had no doubt that he would go through with it because he rocks! Which of course means that Nick and Don are going to come in second and join Kris and Jon in the "Teams that Break kat's Heart Hall of Fame."

Just as long as Nate and Jen keep coming in second, I think I could stand to see any of the other teams left as the big winners, and I don't think I've ever been able to say that about another race.

Thrive to spite them

I like the new addition to non elim. It's way better than the beg for money.

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

I'm curious to see how the new addition works. Though the old visuals of teams piling on every stitch they owned, hoping for a non-elim and then being eliminated - that was priceless.

Art Crawl!!!

I can't wait to see how the "speed bump" works too!

I was so distressed watching my tape - having two of my three favorite teams in the bottom. I'm so glad that it was a non-elimination leg.

I was very surprised that they actually had to get a tattoo for the fast forward.

Me too. I kept expecting it to be a fake out. They had to agree to get a tattoo and then the artists would do a henna or something instead of a real live tat.

That being said, I'd have done it in a heartbeart and would have eventually expanded it to include the full TAR logo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I would have done it on my leg, not my arm, so I wonder if that was part of the deal.

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

Phil said something about it being a tradition of sailors, so the bicep placement might have been part of that.

I'd have done it in a heartbeart and would have eventually expanded it to include the full TAR logo.

And OH HELL YEAH to this.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I started watching VH1's "The Shot" - the show about people wanting to become a photographer and VH1's website is the fucking worst. I can't believe that the site does not work with Firefox. What the fuck?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I adore them for having gotten the tattoos and now they need to win. 'Cause, seriously, people, they got tattoos! That say FF!

And yeah, I would have done it too.
