Add me to the Wells Fargo list. Jewelry didn't occur to me, either. TS I got include coefficient, dancing, Ken Kesey, and United Negro College Fund. I should have gotten CERN, but it didn't make it from my brain to my mouth in time. Congrats to Mark, as Nam was equally annoying with his intro tonight -- I'm not sure what his first gesture was, but it almost looked like he was flipping us off!

I didn't even have a guess for FJ. And I feel like my non-answer was still a better answer than Sylvia Plath! The only TS I got were Jon Cryer and Generalissimo, which was a total guess. I wanted Marko! to win. Nam annoyed me from the opening.

Plus ordinary soap has antibacterial properties already. No need to add extra chemicals.

I've started reading James, and was about to quit* and throw it across the room at Chapter 9, when they were "baling water" out of the canoe -- repeatedly. I don't believe it was a deliberate error, and I can't believe that Mr. Everett doesn't know the difference between baling and bailing. so I'm mad at his editors and proofreaders. Such an easy error to fix! *Of course I'm not going to quit an otherwise (so far) excellent book because of one repeated, egregious error. I would quit a mediocre or bad book because of it, though. But I still want to know how, exactly, does one "bale" water.

You never know! I know people who scuba dive in the polar regions (Antarctica! Iceland!), and other people who do swim in the North Sea. I am not one of them, mind you, but there are crazy people who do.

I prefer to wear lighter shoes on the plane, but if space is an issue in your bag, wear the heavier ones. I have Raynaud's, so I'd take a pair of light gloves, too. What about swimwear? Have a great trip!

Where are you going? Do you have a rain jacket? Phone/device chargers? Adapter for electricity (because the world can't agree on electricity -- I have so many adapters!)? Hairbrush or comb?

A quick "look at the colors of the wheels" as you're leaving the challenge is vastly different from, "hey, sit over there and rest while I do your challenge for you." Or what @Netfoot said.

3/5 with an asterisk this week.

Instaget FJ for me tonight. I also got the TS of Gila River, Twelfth Night, Our Lips Are Sealed, mingle, and nosy. I said on-demand water heater instead of tankless, so I need a judge's ruling on whether or not that would have been accepted.

I got James from the library today. I can't wait to start reading it later!

Arkansas never occurred to me. I started with the East coast and the beginning of the alphabet, and got to the correct state with plenty of time to write it down. Oooh, it's an asterisk! But it wasn't an instaget. I also got the TS of Rio de Janeiro, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and Laura Linney.

That's Darlene in a few years.

To me, there is a difference between collaborating with, helping, and outright doing a task for another team. Collaboration, sure. Helping, eh, not a fan, but it's way better than outright doing the task. Why did Angie even bother to get in the race car if Amber was just going to do the puzzle for her?

I hated this episode, despite some good activities. Here's hoping next week is better.

The way Danny and the alliance just flat out lied and shut the others out? That's mean girl behavior to me.

Mean Girls on Amazing Race. OF COURSE they're following you, Danny. You said they could!

Maybe, but I don't have to like it, or be happy about it.

And another one for the beef.

Oh, hey, more working together!

Sunny and Bizzy, the way you grabbed that clue was just a little rude.

Bizzy loves scoring in all senses of the word. Heh.

Beef. I'd do the beef.

I feel like I've seen this before -- and it looks like fun!

And for Leticia.
