The Amazing Race or, Karma Will Smack a Bitch

Ahhh, The Amazing Race is back on and all is right with the world. :) It was sooo great to see Phil raise that eyebrow to incredible heights and shout "Go!" to the contestants.

So far, I (surprisingly) like the Goths (and I hate that the other contestants have labelled them "Freaks"...it just bugs me). I also like the lesbian couple and the "hippie" couple.

Prehate for the shrieking half of one of the "dating" couples. Ugh. Also the couple who were eliminated were on my hate list from the time they stole the cab in Ireland then laughed about it. When they had the nerve to mock Karma, I had a feeling they were doomed. I was sooo happy they are off my TV as when I hate a team, they usually stick around for most, if not all, of the Race.

I'm a bit meh about the rest of the teams. I think that both the dad and the grandpa are trying too hard to be "cute" and it kinda bugs me. I'm trying to withhold judgement for now.

I was also happy to see the blonde team smacked down after their chirpy "we'll flirt our way around the world". UGH. That NEVER works. And I hate it as a strategy. Just race, damn it. I was happy they got knocked down a few pegs and wound up in the middle of the pack.

Anyway, I am going to employ the record and watch technique as I hate waiting through the commercials.

Oh and we had a lovely dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse for Nicole's birthday celebration. Got to hold the baby who is cuter than a button.

Sigh...off to work.
