I feel like it's a good Amazon Prime show.

I feel this about everything lately.

So it looks like it starts next week in Canada. I take it it's already on in the US?

I loved the warring karate dojos line, because you know she's fully aware of how ridiculous it is and sounds. Almost like if you say it out loud maybe the boys will suddenly realize how stupid they're being. But they won't, so bring booze ... "big glass!" lol.

Iron Eagle has the world's best fighter jet in it with an 18-year-old pilot, so I could see why Johnny would like it. In addition to Tommy/Rob Garrison being in it, the theme song of Iron Eagle is Iron Eagle (Never Say Die) by King Kobra. So I think it's just a few little inside jokes. Also I enjoy that it's not Top Gun he's watching which is what you'd assume any fighter jet nut would default to lol.

That's what I most love about the show - everyone is grey areas. The hero is just as easily the villain, and vice versa. Just like in real life. I have rooted for every character at some point, and the show really keeps you thinking because of it. I actually want them to expand on Kreese's motives in a more grey way too. I don't want him being the man-in-black bad guy when everyone else gets so much more characterization.

I'm pissed at how they've treated Lucas during this whole Wiley storyline. It figures they'd not only break up the only same sex couple on the show but also completely ignore what should be a major presence in this story. I'm much more interested in how Lucas is coping with this than Michael and Willow making moony faces over Wiley.

Apparently the BC one had the lowest amount of teams actually finish the race ever. I really liked Borneo and Argentina (I live in BC, so it's a bit too familiar to me lol)

I remember they were required to pack out everything they packed in - food wrappers, equipment, etc. There was a big "leave no trace" element to it. Aside from that I always assumed it meant the ecology was the challenging part of the race lol,

I wish they had focused on more of the non English speaking teams, especially Team East Wind. I don't mind reading subtitles, TV producers. I am also hoping that at some point the previous seasons will end up on Amazon as well. I haven't seen Borneo since it aired and it was a great race.

The seasons are: 1995 Utah 1995 Maine/New England 1996 BC 1997 Australia 1998 Morocco 1999 Argentina 2000 Borneo 2001 New Zealand 2002 Fiji 2019 Fiji Some of them are on YouTube.

I loved the series back in the day. Robyn Benincasa was my favourite racer - I remember being totally outraged when Team Eco Internet dropped her. I also remember one race the Japanese team captain (I think) carried a team member a good chunk of the race after she hurt her ankle. I remembered quite a few of the racers from the previous Eco Challenges, The one thing I wasn't iffy on was them being able to hire help/horses. On one hand, it's providing some entrepreneurs in the village some money, but it takes a bit away from the race. I suspect it was part of them being able to film there and use the villages. I also felt that there was too many similar legs - ie, lots of mountain biking, lots of stand up paddle. I would've liked to see more variation, but they were probably restricted due to the terrain. Next race will be Patagonia in 2021 (not sure when, for obvious reasons). I know the 1999 Argentina season I really enjoyed because there was a big variation in terrain and there was a lot of different disciplines during the race.

Possible CSI reboot/limited series. https://www.newsweek.com/csi-reboot-20th-anniversary-cbs-cast-william-petersen-jorja-fox-grissom-sara-sidle-1524235

I'd forgotten how much I love Jay/Lisa scenes. Their friendship is a real high point for me.

I'm rewatching the series on Netflix - anyone else?

That gave me a good laugh. I love those little nods to the audience. And I completely agree about Hartley. I was like "Sam? Emoting?!" lol. I think she brought so much more energy to the scenes and made them more fun to watch.

Imagine if the chefs on Top Chef sucked at cooking and excelled at fighting, smoking and disappointing Gordon Ramsay.

I got Danielle Reyes!

I really hope they give them more design time. I hate the quick, cheap looking crap everyone ends up having to make.

That's what I meant lol. SO HARD to keep all this insanity straight.

Didn't watch GH during the time of today's episode. So .... Sam's baby Lila was Kristina's ... sister and aunt? *sigh*

Frankie AND Paul? Why does CBS hate me?

My dreams for BB: - A cast of all people voted out first or second. I always feel bad for them. - A cast of all minorities. - A cast all over the age of 30.

I want a season of Donny, Nicole and Kevin.

Has the third person ever got any votes before? It never seems like it splits three ways at all. I prefer a final two.
