Re: Mitch. If he can worm his way into the main alliance he becomes a "number" when they split and go after each other. Then there is a wee bit of a path to the final three. Not the best situation but better than to align with the other strays at this point. I concur a thousand times over! I think either Kyle or Shauhin or both will make a move against Joe and Eva by final 5 if not final 6 which is where a Mitch and/or Camilla will factor in. Or even Mary as she offered her supporting vote to Shauhin this episode. And good news. Only an HOUR long Survivor next week. The Amazing Race gets a full TWO HOUR, 2 leg season Finale taking out the last half hour Survivor normally would have. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS: And in other news the one glorious positive this episode did have was that there was no stupid, dumb, boring, idiotic, endless, yucky jigsaw puzzles. Puzzles are for rainy days inside. Not for the outdoor beauties of Fiji.

Huh? Eva? If that is the Survivor woman? I never said anything negative about her since she has never been cruel. And nobody else on the spectrum I've ever seen on TV or on other media has ever been rude or cruel like Jonathan. So no, he has no excuse for his behavior. Period.

S37.E09: Pizza de Résistance LIVE CHAT THREAD

Or as the are know in English. Loaves of bread. Many many. Well Jack was eating them up pretty quickly without it being a requirement, lol. -
Me too. I've been Team Green Shirts from the beginning because they are gamers. I never played D&D but I certainly am into RPG's both stand alones (Elder Scrolls: Oblivion rocks!) and online in the past (original Guild Wars). Go, Gamers! No brain is "wired" to be rude and cruel. Plenty of other people have their brain "wired" that way and they aren't rude or cruel. So no, there is no excuse for his actions. They don't. The waivers are for permission to use the image of people the Racers directly talk to and interact with. If a person in a crowd scene is blurred they would have had to have been proactive and come up and told the Camera Crew something along the lines of "Hey I don't want my face shown on TV." That's the dilemma. If they ask directions they have to go through the time consuming process of getting the person to sign the waiver to give permission for their image to be shown. The audio guy usually has to explain all this and why they need to sign it. And if they say they will give directions but don't want to sign then audio guy has to explain that they could blur their face instead and is that okay. So do you spend precious minutes in a Race doing this every time you get somewhat confused and semi-lost or do you think you can self-correct faster. Not even remotely an ugly American thing. She never said Domino's was better. Just that she had dealt with tons of crusts and knew the flour trick. And even if she somehow liked Domino's better that still would be just her opinion and not something "ugly." Just totally crazy, lol.

Then the show would be cancelled because there would be nothing to write about. Everybody in the world would soon know about the ghost whisper and her ghosts because telling one person leads to another etc etc because hardly anyone can keep a secret let alone a BIG secret. So the ripple effect reaches social media quickly and the whole fun of hiding what is happening is gone. I hated that Jay's sister got told who then told her boyfriend. That's two people too many right there. Damn you Trevor for making that a necessity.

S04.E20: I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago

Second wife. Shannon was the first. Honestly I was shocked by Lala's death because I was waiting for it to happen all episode like a suicide or something as she reached the end of her rope. But the randomness of it trying to avoid hitting a kid chasing her dog made it really sad. Then the kicker at the end where Gibbs first meets Diane right at the same time totally surprised me. Yeah. One of the best episodes was when Gibbs and Fournell had to work with Diane after both had been divorced from her. Wasn't she more a profiler?

How? Because it isn't the anti-hippie 1960's establishment anymore. Or 1980's Nancy Reagan telling everyone to just say "no." Not that anybody listened. OT: The only reason cocaine still isn't in Coke is because the beer and liquor industry saw coke Coke becoming more popular than their drug so paid the politicians (lobbied, lol) to make cocaine illegal. Same thing with grass. The tobacco industry paid off the politicians to make "whacky tobaccy" illegal because their drug was losing sales to it. In other words, GREED. So two drug industries got the other drugs made illegal and hundreds of thousands of people got arrested and received criminal records and lost decent jobs over the years so those two "legal" drug industries could have bigger profits. Yes "legal" booze took a hit during the brief time of prohibition but statistics showed slightly more people drank then than when it was legal. And it soon was back legally but not before organized crime got their major foothold in America. How ridiculously illogical things are on planet earth. -
S37.E08: We’re Letting Race Brain Win LIVE CHAT THREAD
Skooma replied to chitowngirl's topic in The Amazing Race
So what? There was also the underground klek and last episode no religious culture. And throwing a cross in the water is totally a cultural custom and has nothing to do with religion per se. The cathedral is the most impressive building in Sofia and made a great visual though nothing "religious" happened there. And again if the Gay teams can make comments about the Gay lifestyle and married couples can talk about their kids and sibling teams can talk endlessly about sibling relationships; then I think the mother/daughter can make comments about what is deeply important to them or at least to the mother. -

No. It was really nice to see. Though Bulgarian leaders back in the old Communist rule days might agree with you though, lol. And just like our two Gay teams making Gay jokes and references during the Race. It is nice to see too. Something for everyone. It is all good. Room for everyone on planet earth. -
He was the only character on "LA" that I liked other than Hetty: The Early Years. The lead was crappy with zero screen presence and badly written and the two love birds were ridiculous The various tech people were over the top stereotype nerds. And nerds are usually the opposite of tech professionals as well. Personally I think Sam Hanna would be an upgrade to any of the current cast on this mothership.

It's probably how he decided to write that rule. Interesting episode though I couldn't see much of a damn thing again especially in the last 10 minutes. Will somebody tell the producers/directors/whoevers that near darkness on the screen isn't "noir." It's just pretentious artsy fartsy crap that pisses people off.

I hate how they do that stuff. On The Amazing Race now at the start of the episode Phil says something like on this episode ... at which point I mute and close my eyes or switch channels really quickly. Why ruin an episode of anything like this? LONG OT Rant: For years now the old network three have been doing this with their nightly news. They waste time mentioning all the "headlines" at the start then repeat them after just mentioning them. When they go to commercial they tell you what you are going to see after the commercial. When they come back you get a 15 second story then off to the next commercial. The last 15 minutes of the broadcast are roughly 13 minutes of commercials for drugs where happy people walk down beaches and celebrate birthdays obviously not hearing that the drug being pushed will cause their liver to explode, turn their toenails green and make them unable to ever eat pizza again. And don't get me started on the "senior correspondent" for economics who last night was the "senior" correspondent for defense and the night before was the "senior" correspondent for celery research. Just once I'd like to meet a "junior" correspondent. But of course they have less correspondences these days then where one should really get the news (and much needed laughs) -- "The Daily Show" No wonder nobody watches the nightly news anymore. Well except me I guess because I love shouting at my TV about how crummy these broadcasts are then back in the day. 😝

I was not pleased that Donna was proved innocent. I wanted her to be the crazed, pitchfork stabbing nutcase. Was more funny that way. And jailing a now peaceful, 84 year old lady after all those years seemed sad. Main plot was good though.

Cool but why not on CBS? I hate streaming services. I pay enough already and am on a tight budget so I don't want to pay for them on top of everything else. I have an old "dumb" TV which can't be cast to and I don't want to watch on a small laptop. Bummer.
