Something to distract me

rayvyn2kMy hubby is going out of town today for work. He's travelling by car with a couple of collegues to Kentucky for an "agency training" session. Basically this is to train agent's staff on a little tiny bit of what the reps in State Farm Payment Plan do. He is leaving at noon-ish today and won't be back until the same time tomorrow. Of course, my mind goes to all the bad places--so in an effort to distract myself until he gets safely home, I present my stream-of-consiousness rambling about last night's episode of The Amazing Race.
In the previouslys:
Phil has the most beautiful smile! The Race is going to Russia tonight, which makes me think of my good friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Okay, this is bullshit. We get thirty seconds of previouslys and then several minutes of commercials!
Back to the show and dang--are they actually showing some footage of the racers during the eat, sleep and mingle at the pitstop? It's because of the whole pinks and "studs" possible hook up. Bleh.
Eric and Jeremy--is he checking his hair? God, HATE.
I like BJ and Tyler, but their schtick is getting old.
Did Lake just tell his wife to shut up?!?? HATE HIM.
OMG, I would love to do the zip line!
Awww, all the teams are like: OMG, Moscow! That's totally what I'd be saying, too.
Yay!! Lake is LOST!
Fran and Barry are in last place...I'm afraid that's where they'll wind up this leg.
SHUT UP LAKE! GOD.
Ew, Eric and Jeremy are such pigs when they talk about the Danis.
Ooooo, Lake DID NOT just call his wife a "bitch." HATE HIM.
And during this commercial break I just have to say...TAR has the most fabulous music and the best editors in the business. Oh, and John Mellancamp is still really hot and so sex-ah with his gray hair.
Back to the show...aaand the airport bunch means that everything that happened before is for nothing.
The teams are finding out that Portuguese is easy compared to Russian.
Wow, Barry and Fran are 2nd?? And oh Yay, Ray and Yolanda are third, but wait--she can't swim??
Beautiful church. But it seems that Russia is just chock-full of those.
My hate for Lake and Michelle continues to grow. I can't believe she didn't do this roadblock. Did she actually think TAR would allow a roadblock to be done in the nude?
I really hope the show still have the "split the roadblocks evenly" rule because if so, she'll be doing worse ones down the line and won't have a choice. I mean, she actually said "Would you have let me do that in front of all those Russian people?" WTF??? Did she think the folks in the pool would just become so overwhelmed by her in a swimsuit that they would charge the 10 meter diving board? There is not enough WTF in the world for these two.
Awww, all the Russian swimmers are so sweet, cheering on Yolanda! She did it!! YAY!
Dave and Lori are in EIGHTH??? NOOOOOO!
Oh, gosh, Desiree's mom is really panicking.
BJ and Tyler taking the time to appreciate the cathedral is just so cool.
Wow, that's a lot of dolls!
Did I tell you how much I love the Russians at the pool cheering on the racers? Because there is so much love for them.
The band and the dancers at the doll detour is so cool.
The Danis are having awful luck. They left their bag at the changing room at the pool and had to go back.
The trolley park is really hard to find. Several teams switched tasks because their cab drivers could not find it.
Shit, I'm really worried about my sweet nerds.
PSYCH!! It's a "to be continued" episode! The look on Eric and Jeremy's face was priceless!!!
