Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Refresh my memory, was Rachel the one who had the camel-milking melt-down or was it the other petite brunette who was, thank dog, eliminated early?

The other one, as far as I can remember.

I totally yelled out, "OH NOES!" when Nick and Don didn't take their gear.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

"OH NOES!"

Totally! The camera check of the bag laying there was like an accusation, I knew it would be tense!

Oh, for the record, I don't approve of praying to God to help you win the race. God has more important things to worry about!!

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

Rachel didn't have the complete meltdown, but I don't remember her doing the camel task particularly well either.

I'm disappointed on principle that yet another young white couple won, but other than that I'm happy for TK and Rachel. I like it when the zen hippy teams win.

Yeah, that exactly.

As was expressed by the ministers before they were eliminated.

D'oh, I'm spoiled! I forgot about the time difference between me and everyone else! Still, I had to come and post how fun it is to see TAR in Anchorage. I've shopped at 6th Ave. Outfitters, and hung out at Ship Creek. Cool.

Oh, the prayer thing just happened. I hate that. But it happened in gorgeous scenery. I love my home!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That was absolutely gorgeous landscape. I want to take one of those helicopter rides. I would have been happy with any of those three teams, but I thought Rachel and TK were the best ones this leg, so even though it would have been nice to see an older and/or non-white team win, I was glad they won.
