Hey, me too. I was planning on recording the episode and watching Survivor "live," but I felt that I would benefit from thirty minutes of rest before the season premiere of The Amazing Race. I don't think I would have lost either way. Aside from Adam & Steve potentially reaching the single-season elimination record and Turbo's career as a singer (search for that on YouTube; it is really friggin' bizarre), I'm not feeling that invested. Even if Steve & Adam were to win and Steve was able to take all of the prize money, it would still feel "mid." Also, Steve has never struck me as being an asshole. At least the mission and Jungle were well thought-out. I wouldn't have thought Nay & Turbo would have done well because English wasn't Turbo's first language.

I'll have to rewatch the episode. I think 28 people are a few too man to keep track of. I like the idea of the Fork, but it needs to be fine-tuned. In this episode, it acted more like a Detour a team couldn't change. Have teams choose a path and have them do Detours and/or Roadblocks. Also, I'd get rid of the separate mats. A team arrived last on the Dance mat getting eliminated while most of the Sing folks hadn't finished . . . it didn't feel right. Nine sons. DAMN. Fear of stairs. DAMN. I kind of get that, though. Still, damn. Nice for this season to start in the States. I miss the public starts, but I'm good with not kicking things off overseas.

I just e-mailed Sen. Gillibrand, urging her to do more. I really need some hope. I haven't seen those. That sounds sad and pathetic. How does one write "sad and pathetic" in Latin? That could be our official motto.

I had a rough day yesterday. I tried to watch on DVR, but I nodded off from the stress. Took me a few tries to get through the episode. Honestly, it wasn’t much of an episode. I’m not compelled to memorize names. I don’t know why Kevin was voted off. The idol puzzles still entertain, though I can’t see how they’re supposed to be solved. Is it wrong that I laughed at that guy taking a pole to the face? At least we got the return of the blindfold challenge next week. That’s always fun.

My heart bleeds for her. You act like a twit, you can’t be surprised when people break social norms to yell at you. As a single person, I don’t know what’s more disgusting: MTG finding love or Steven Miller also finding love.

Next week: Japan! Hopefully, we don’t get the wacky game show crap.

“Sisters, you are the last team overall to check in. On the plane ride home, your seats will be next to the lavatory.”

Voice in the judges’ earpieces: “We’re almost out of time. Start cutting everyone loose.”

Looks like the old guys are out.

I’m not invested. Too many people to track all at once.

Three thousand bucks total or for each guy?

Translations of the lyrics would be nice. 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking there would be two sets of tasks, as opposed to doing one task then hitting the Pit Stop.

Chinese lions. Reminds me of getting dim sum the day after TARCon 6, when it was Chinese New Year. Good times!

Wait, so the Fork is basically a Detour you can’t swap out?
