She didn't say she couldn't drive, just that she was crappy at it (though I was wondering a bit when she was first starting the car). We've seen people before who were all "I don't know how to drive stick!" but I think this is different, and less fixable, probably.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

I was thinking, being able to drive has got to be a requirement, huh.
Well people could get around it. They could be like me, with a legal driver's license, but having had little actual driving experience.

Well, you never know. My sister and I rented a stick car at CDG airport, drove to the Loire Valley, parked it at our B&B, and could not get it started the next morning. We were trying for 15-20 minutes until our host finally came out and explained we needed to press some button below the dash called (I kid you not) "le starter". We felt pretty dumb.

Clearly she knows how to drive but she doesn't like it and so avoids it wherever possible. (I mean, they wouldn't allow somebody who couldn't drive at all to do that task, would they?)
Farmer's Wife - new CW reality show. It looks like what they wish Smallville actually was about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's me, too. But I know people who don't even have licenses.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, I am pretty grumpy about this, I admit it, but I really despise TAR non-elim penalties. I think it is just fucked up. Having to do an extra task or lose $$ just puts a team at a particular disadvantage when they already came in last.
Why don't they allot some legs to last two pit stops? Why are penalties necessary?

Did anyone here watch "Shear Genuius?" Remember Tabitha - the white-haired, direct (kind of mean) Aussie? Well, Bravo is giving her her own show:

Why don't they allot some legs to last two pit stops?
They have had some "To be continued" legs in the past where the last team doesn't get a penalty and Phil just tells them, "Keep racing, suckas!" (Although they haven't had any this race yet) IMHO, if you are going to do non-elim legs that are not TBC, I wanna see some kind of penalty for coming in last. And of all the ridic crap that they've tried (the Phil mugging, the horrible 30 minute penalty of death hanging over your head if you don't finish first), the Speed Bump is BY FAR the best penalty they've come up with. It is serious enough to pose some problems for the racers (unlike the Phil mugging which never amounted to anything more than highly undignified begging), but not insurmountable (as we saw with Kent and Vixen - they got eliminated due to their own error in judgement).
Tabitha was one of the few bright spots on Shear Genius, but I can't imagine that I'd enjoy watching a whole show about her.
ION, I watched Dance Wars tonight. I couldn't help myself. And it was bad. Soooo bad. Worse than I even imagined. It ended with J. Lo. Badly sung, badly danced J. Lo. That's just . . . no.

oh man! I can just imagine her coming in to try to redo my friend's (keeerazy hairdresser) shop and the bloodshed that would ensue. Highly entertaining.

I just read over on TWOP that Nick is Robbie Fulks son. . . or possibly stepson.
