I used to work with an outfit called Parents in a Pinch here in Boston, they provided sitting services to hotels and for functions and so on (I worked at a university graduate school, we hired them to look after graduates' kids during Commencement). The carers are all background checked and so on, they have a good reputation. So I think its a reasonable idea for a business and it could certainly succeed. But the story they're telling is wonky as hell. She's having a meeting, weeks in, with a bunch of kids and telling them to put up tons of flyers? She has to bring them all in for this? They've been in DC for weeks and this is still what they're doing? She's cold calling at hotels? Not calling ahead and making an appointment like a professional? Has she hired sitters? What are all those other people in the office doing? And the meeting with her underling, just ridiculous. She's the boss, if her baby is fussing just step away from the meeting for a minute and deal. The whole thing with the other woman giving her the side eye and Kristina being mortified was just stupid. Gah. I can't believe I'm so annoyed by all this! Maybe because I like all the people on the show and the premise. So why the bait and switch?
I think it's a shared office space. There are other businesses using the office as well.

I thought the murders were unnecessarily gross, but otherwise, I liked it. I like that Duval will know rather than running around trying to figure it out. His face looking into the tank was excellent acting.

According to realitytvworld, they got engaged this week in a segment for TV!

I'm pretty sure he's posting on realityfanforum. They said he created an account as soon as he returned from running the race.

I would love to see those 10 Commandments.
I can guess a few:
1) Always mug for the camera.
2) Always annoy the locals running the tasks in embarrassing attempts to be funny.
3) When in doubt, cry.
4) If anything goes wrong, blame Diana.
5) Be obnoxious to all your cab drivers...it makes them drive faster and treat you better.
6) Act like a TAR master and mock other team's choices, while not reading your own clues and pissing off your cab drivers.
7) Heckle opponents rather than focusing on your own task.
8) Let out an annoying, effeminate giggle at least once every leg.
I think they deliberately didn't reveal them because they don't want to give others an "advantage" the next go around. She said they would be screaming at each other "Remember #3!" How odd.

Any misgivings that I may have been too harsh in my assessment of Justin just went out the window with this. For me, this just underscores that he really is a dickish, douchebag of a tool.
Justin must have been that kid that kicked, screamed and basically threw a fit until he got everything and anything he wanted. Way to go Justin's parents! And I'm sensing Diana is enabling that (because if he's holding off on the wedding to get his second shot on TAR, he's essentially pulling the same moves). I sincerely hope that TAR producers become the first people to tell him no. I hate to see bad behavior get rewarded and that's exactly what that will be.
And can someone please explain to me how their marital status has anything to do with running the race again? I am at a loss for that.
ETA: I read the interview and they say they will be married by the end of 2016. They have also been together eight years. Diana knows exactly what she's dealing with. I say get married, have a great life and may we never see -- or hear -- you again.
Did you see the part where he said he's already trying to figure out when the season would tape? And the part about their 10 commandments of the Amazing Race? They are something else. I do wonder what will happen if she gets pregnant.
I kind of wish Colin and Christie would come back and race on the same All-Star Season as Justin. That would be epic.

The second part of that interview is up today on realitytvworld.com and they are far less likeable in it. Diana is pretty arrogant in it as well. They do talk about getting married, although Justin freely admits that he will postpone his wedding, and won't really even pick a date for it yet, because he doesn't want to miss out on an All-Stars Unfinished Business 2 edition. He says he is going to stalk the producers and get "his fans" to stalk the producers until they get an offer to do another race. PUKE.

On realitytvworld.com, there are interviews up with both Kelsey and Joey and Justin and Diana. K/J say their crab pots were all tangled and they had to pull them all up together, throw them back out, and pull them up individually. That must have been brutal. Justin admits that he was over confident and cocky and that he let his "New York" personality get in the way with the cab. Diana is very reasonable and repeatedly admits that they are lucky they ever got to the final leg. If Tiffany and Krista's cab had not gotten lost on the way to the pit stop, Justin and Diana would have never even been in the final leg and she acknowledges that. She says they rehash what they should have done differently every single day.

The thing that stands out to me is that when K/J get to the crab task, there are three sea doos. They are first. Then, the video of Justin where Diana tells him not to give up, seems to suggest he's last.

Newly released video points to:
1. Kelsey and Joey
2. Logan and Chris
3. Justin and Diana
There are videos up on cbs.com
Tonight should be interesting!

If you are interested, there are new press pictures up at realityfanforum in the thread for the finale and there's a decent amount of analysis. They still aren't decided for sure on who the winner is, and there seems to be some indication that it might be Kelsey and Joey, which I would love. There is little evidence to support a Justin and Diana win. They are amazing over there.

There is apparently some information about someone stealing Justin and Diana's cab and that puts them too far behind. It seems too good to be true that they don't win, but the spoilers about Logan and Chris have been out there for a couple of weeks, even before the U-turn.

Spoilers seem to indicate that Logan and Chris win. It's not as firm as last season, but that is where they are leaning based on screen cap analysis.

My high school students know who these contestants are. They watch Youtube videos all day long. The starts seem much more accessible than A list movie stars. I have no doubt, since high schoolers also don't seem to know boundaries, that they would swarm a Youtube star.
ETA: My husband watches a lot of those "Best of" countdown shows. He knew Zack because his magic tricks are often on there.
