  1. They are bringing back different things in this Race and one of them is the original NEL I guess. A penalty for coming in last in a non elimination leg only started in Season 5. The first four seasons you simply got saved from elimination.
  2. Why couldn't Tony & Ziva have been in that block instead of the other two non-Origins shows. You know, a CBS broadcast show instead of one I won't see ... well not the way CBS wants me to anyway. After a dark and dreary southern California where apparently there never is any light to see by back in the day, Tony & Ziva would have been a good follow-up with Paris and sunshine and humor in the middle of all the violence. Kind of a pick me up after the angst of the first show.

    They would really have to do a much of explaining if that was so because she was suppose to have died in the car wreck. The wreck the BLONDE little girl saw so if that is Carla ... oh, hell, who cares. And yes it was tragic the TV had to die just because the father did. It wasn't the TV's fault.

    Could well be. I was thinking that as one scenario. Had to do with mother's death certificate. Did she have Carla by another man maybe. She and Parker are half-siblings? Were the "there is something between these two" comments by the other cast anvils not for romantic tension but for blood relations connection instead? I'd put this as the leading theory so far anyway. 🤷‍♂️ And if so will Parker have to shoot his half-sibling to save someone else like Ziva with Ari? (God, I miss Ziva. The new Ziva and Tony sequel show looks far more interesting and exciting and downright FUN than this show. And the great chemistry was back immediately too. Wish it would be on CBS next fall instead because a lot of us can't afford endless streaming services).

    Well until when Carla told the story of her son's death and accused Parker of it. Then it was a given his dad would be killed. Last 20 minutes was just waiting around until a very obtuse Parker could figure out that was why he was still left alive, But no, he was all "whatevers" have no idea why she didn't kill me. Let's do other stuff for hours and forget I have a loved one around that Carla came over and checked out earlier." Boy they write this character Parker dumb as anything. Something about the mother walked out for "reasons" (drunk, fight, I forget) and promptly got in a car accident and died and the little blonde girl (pre ghost days) saw it and something something yadda yadda. Oh hell, who really cares. This whole storyline is totally ridiculous. Like I'm sure the fact the little girl is blonde and Carla is blonde will be a "thing" too. They keep trying to make this Parker character "interesting" and unique with everything from donuts to ghosts to plant lover to mysteries of the past guy. The actor just presents too nice an image on screen to be this weird and strange. But they keep making this character so over the top that he makes Gibbs look totally normal in comparison.
  6. Yeah it reminded me of how good this show used to be back in the day.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. A British soldier from the American Revolutionary War. The American Civil War was 80 years later.
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
