Oh man, I had seen a few blurbs for that show and thought it sounded interesting. But I hadn't seen anything about Josh. I guess I'll be giving that a pass.

When I do the worst, most brain-numbing pieces of my work, I listen to old Survivor/Amazing Race episodes on the phone. I know at the time, we were tired of seeing the same old challenges but now...they seem so much better. I don't know if it's absence makes the heart grow fonder or what. But they seem to have more variety and complexity. Is it a budget issue? They don't want to set up complex challenges due to cost? It just seems to have become so stale compared to older seasons. I'm not into the individual portion of whatever season is on (returning players) so maybe it gets back to the same ol' same ol'. But the group challenges seem so much better.

Ditto to this. Do they not allow them to clean up before they eat? I cannot imagine sitting there, eating, with mud drying and cracking on my skin. Cracking and possibly falling into my food. I don't care how hungry they are, and they aren't that hungry any more, I think I could take five minutes to clean up a bit first. Even in the Ponderosa videos, which we don't get anymore, the first thing they would do is sit down and order food and hash out the game. I'll be happy to talk to you in half an hour but I want a long, hot shower first.

Did all your people just go to FTC?

After handing the final tribal to Kyle, did anyone else kind of think Kamilla flubbed the fire just to make sure she didn't sit in final 3? She had said many times if they sat next to each other, they would split the vote and the 3rd person would win. So did she really give her all in the fire-making? She shouldn't have sacrificed her game for Kyle but once having done that, I think she stuck with the outcome. She was certainly willing to tee up Kyle for the homerun and I wonder if Kyle could have done that as effectively for her. I don't ever like the navel gazing part of the show after the winner is announced but at least at a true reunion show, they've seen how they got snookered and outplayed and can respond to that. In this version, they are all still thinking they are geniuses and it's just more of the same. Were we supposed to vote on returning players for season 50? I got the other votes (no idols!) but I missed that one.

The only acceptable outcome is for Teddy and Owen to die in that explosion. I know the tension is the important part, but why is it so hard to just say "you dumped me, I got drunk and hooked up with a guy. Oh, yeah, btw there he is." (We were on a break!)

Yeah, I've said that before too. Have no idols, but don't tell them there are no idols. Let them drive themselves crazy looking for them and keep saying "if anyone..." so they keep looking. Keeps them busy.

Craaaap. I wanted to be rid of them. Intent matters. Ana unintentionally stepped in front of him. He INTENTIONALLY made her feel like shit for what was probably hours. Not a momentary knee-jerk reaction that passes. Prolonged, deliberate jackassery designed to knock her down.

The article does mention that Stephanie's favorite song was "Cherry Pie" and we did get a Stephanie appearance that dealt with her death in a way, so I'm choosing to believe that theory, since I don't like the Sass theory. Works for me!

"from his mouth." The same mouth he uses to blame Ana for everything in the world being wrong. Got it. Just because "end of story" comes from your mouth doesn't mean it is "end of story." You have no more knowledge of this situation than anyone else, unless you ARE Jonathan. Which I am beginning to wonder about with how combative you are about the whole thing. You don't have his records, we don't have his records, you don't know the whole story any more than the rest of us do. We do have video evidence of his being a jackass to his wife. If she's fine with it, that's fine. But that doesn't mean we all have to bow down to you because you pronounced "end of story." Is he lying or not? I don't know. People lie about shit all the time to justify their own ends. And yes, people will even lie about this if it suits their needs. NO ONE KNOWS. So we speculate, which is allowed. "end of story."

I'd watch that. lol But the race does seem a LOT easier than it was in the beginning, as far as the tasks and even the navigation. I haven't watch TAR Canada in a few years, no longer able to watch it, but the seasons I watched were more like original TAR as far as tasks and having to figure things out for themselves. I like less "go right here" and more "figure out where this is" type of racing. But that's just me, on my sofa, eating popcorn, not racing.

If Jo and Link took the other couple's venue, why didn't they take some of their other arrangements too? The baker still needed to sell a cake, the caterers still had food to sell. I thought it was the finale so was surprised to see a preview.

I had wondered about this but didn't exactly know which forum would be the right place to ask. But which season was it where they stopped making the women wear bikinis/underwear and nothing else all the time? Even when it's dirty and worn (not this season) at least it actually covered them. But I couldn't remember when that started.

My only other thought was the producers didn't want to sit out there for 20 minutes (or however long) waiting for the sand to expire, so they said "you wanna call it? Let's call it." and let her go early. But they should have. One stiff wind and she would have been building again. In other challenges, weather factors have counted. They should have waited out the time to make sure the tower stood.

I soooo wanted to be rid of Jonathan. I don't care what diagnosis he is claiming to have, he is a jerk and specifically a jerk to his wife. Such a contrast to the other couple. I thought an express pass let you skip all tasks and go to the mat. Did it change or am I delusional or both?
