Lakebum

My thoughts exactly, only I wouldn't have been so nice about it. I have never heard of any of these "important, influential" people... and I'm more proud of that now than I was before the show. Apparently, to be a Social Media Superstar, you must be very loud and very stupid. I know and respect the Rules of the Race, but if they don't get these people some handlers, who knows how long this season could last? Until the last of them wanders into the wilderness or off of a cliff, I guess, which might not be long at all, come to think of it. So far, the ONLY team that doesn't seem to be suffering from terminal Look At Me-itis, combined with Listen to Me Scream-itis, is... the black brothers. (I'm sorry, but like someone else posted, not knowing who any of these people are or what it is that they do makes it hard to identify them right now. Eventually, maybe, we'll learn their names, but "YouTube Sensations" isn't going to cut it this season. So until I learn their names, they're "the black brothers" and "the crying idiots from Alabama" (my home, BTW) and "the girl and her stupid father" and "the gay couple with bad hair and worse laugh" and "guys who play Frisbee" and... "the other teams.")

I agree, and I hope that they are all racing for "a million..." only to learn at the finish line that it was a million Confederate dollars, or some foreign currency that coverts to about 12 American cents.

I'm pretty sure that the final leg was completed before the first episode was aired...

I think that while the Race Rules might allow cab-stealing, it's also within the rights of the cabbie to tell racers that he's waiting for the customers who asked him to wait. That is to say, Logan and Chris might not have HAD to get out of the cab... but the cabbie didn't HAVE to drive them anywhere, either. So Yay, cabbie, for having some integrity. (Though had it been The Green Goblin's cab, I would have been mad at the cabbie if he had done the honorable thing, so there is that. :-)

Yes!! Yes!!! YESSS!!!!! Down goes the Grinning Green Goofball! And hello to the Blubbering Braggart!! I was really hoping I'd get to see you in the finale; I'm especially glad that it was your own cockiness and obnoxiousness that cost you the race. From the very first "See you at the Finish Line, nyuk nyuk nyuk!!" through the cartoonish "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ameeeeeeeegooo!", the "poor poor pitiful me" crying jags that bookended the race, the complete lack of sportsmanship and the complete lack of appreciation for the fact that he's living his dream (but only if he wins), I've wanted to see the Green Goblin, the Lime Lout, the Mossy Mouth, The Jade Jerk, the new HWMNBN, go down... and go down hard. Tonight was an early Christmas!

Never has my hatred of one team-- or one person -- been strong enough to make me consider missing the finale, on the chance that I might have to see that person win. 100 minutes until showtime, and I'm thinking that tonight might be the night. I hate that guffawing green grinning goofball enough to make me change the channel and watch... what else is even on opposite TAR? I've never had cause to wonder... P.S.-- My wife hates him even more than I do. She already took a week off, just because she needed a break.

Well, $%!#. ^*%%@)& $%!#. #*(%!^# show is rigged. I hope that entitled pompous sack of $%!# finishes third because HE makes an imbecilic mistake... and then he punches Phils, so we know we won't ever be subject to him in any sort of Redemption season. It took 10 years, but Jonathan is back to being Jonathan; now the goofy green crybaby is He Who Must Not Be Named... and only because He Who Must Not Survive is probably asking a bit too much.

I thought they were setting up a nice match-dissolve, with the swarming ants becomeing swarming walkers. But, no, so all it was was symbolism. And symbolism that wasn't really needed.

YES!! Good job of nailing what it is about him that bugs so much. He wants yo to think "I'm just enjoying the race," but it's really "Hey!! LOOK AT ME enjoying the race!" And while he is n undeniably good-- no, great -- player, his smugness about it makes him unbearable. Sportsmanship: it's not over-rated... and Justin hasn't a shred of it.

I'm not sure that Glenn DID escape from those walkers, at least not unscathed. Someone is going to have to convince me that the first episode of next season is NOT going to include scenes of Glenn succumbing to the wounds inflicted by those walkers as he was battling his way through them.

What's really amazing is that she has not gone to the bathroom one single time since they left the farm. Because if you don't see it on the screen, it doesn't happen, right? It's amazing-- but not at all surprising, I guess-- that people complained and complained and complained about Maggie not showing enough emotion abour Beth, and then when we have an episode where she does... they complain and complain and complain....

I'd like to learn that my suspicions are true: they're all vampires. I mean, they never age, and they don't allow direct sunlight to touch their skin...

Do we really know that Maggie's ot concerned, just because we've never seen her ask anyone if they know what happened? After all, we've never seen any of them go to the bathroom either, but I don't hear anyone talking about how unrealistic THAT is. We see a fraction of the lives of these characters, spread out in 45-minute (or so) chunks 16 times per year, so I'm OK with knowing that we're not seeing everything they do, or hearing every conversation they have. Especially when the answer to this particular question is always going to be "I have no idea what did or did not happen to Beth." The only person who could possibly have a different answer is Darryl; maybe he and Maggie had the conversation off-camera, or maybe Darryl avoided the subject because he figured Maggie had been through enough already. The day she last saw Beth is also the day she saw her Dad get beheaded, probably not a day she likes re-living.

Did anything happen while mother/daughter were on the mat? Or after? Our power was briefly knocked out, and the last six minutes of the show weren't recorded. The last thing we did see was the Philimination, and his comment about how the good news was that they were holding hands, and not fighting. But it seems like that should have come with two minutes left, not six, so I'm wondering what we missed. (Quite possibly we missed nothing but a bunch of commercials.) On topic: So I guess Dentist Ken (his wife being Dentist Barbie, of course) flunked out of med school before going to dental school. As a team they might be tolerable, even with his buggy eyes, but the egos are too much. Hopefully a TAR-humbling is on the way. Right now I'd be happy with a Surfer win or a Biker win; I wouldn't be upset with anybody winning as long as it wasn't the Dentists or the Wrestlers. (He's not so bad, but her whining is too much.)
