rayvyn2k: cute icon (TAR)
I really debated about posting my musings again this season...and I am going to do it for this episode, but I may not do it every time because writing everything down causes me to miss stuff...besides, I'm not really sure how many people actually like these posts.

Anyway, on with the season premiere!

Overall, I liked the first "surprise," and I like most of the teams. I can't wait until next week! Now, I'm off to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which I taped.

TAR Musings

This entry will be interrupted several times by explosive cursing from your intrepid reporter. Why, you ask? Because the stupid local weather folks broke in to the show at least three times with bulletins. Since I only make appointments to watch TWO programs per week, one of which is TAR, I took it rather personally. Fair warning, there are expletives ahead.

Now, on to the musings!

First, the Previouslies:
BJ & Tyler start out with no money and get none from MoJo. The other teams are over-confident on the plane that they will escape from BJ & Tyler and are massively disappointed. MoJo arguing. Fran and Barry having problems navigating the prison. Ray and Yolanda back on track. Fran and Barry eliminated. We are down to four teams.
Who will be eliminated---next? )

Next week: Thailand. Monkeys! (Monkeys always bring the funny.) MoJo arguing some more (yawn).

O/T: My awesome sister sent me some pictures of my gorgeous grandsons. I'll do a longer picture post soon, but here's a sample:

Here's Tyler, my son's son:


And Nathan, my daughter's son:


OMG, I can hardly stand the cuteness! (Only 13 more days until we're in Florida!)

So, at 6:59pm CST, I'm seated on the sofa, pen in hand.

First, the Previouslies:
Ray and Yolanda arguing. Flooded road. Loading cranky camels. Heh, I'll never get tired of seeing cranky camels. EW, the Roadblock from hell. Fran and Barry in first. And BJ and Tyler last.

At 7:01pm, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict this will be an elimination leg. Oh and Oman is still pretty. And so is Phil. Rowr.

And away we go! )

Okay, there will be one more team eliminated before the season finale on May 17. So, I think next week will be a non-elimination, May 10 will be elimination to get it down to three teams, and the season finale (which I can totally watch with my sister! YAYYYY!!) will be two hours. But the show has been known to take four teams into the two hour season finale and eliminate one in the middle there. So, we'll see.

Next week: More Australia! Crocs! Rivalry! Yields!

Before we start, I just have to say that the McDonald's commercial with the blindfolded girl being fed by her so-called boyfriend is really stupid. And he's not getting anything from her, either.

Okay, on the previouslies (tm TWOP) they showed the "bitch--shut up" thing again. And I still think that the Fast Forward was really unfair. Fast Forwards should not be "needle in a haystack" type of tasks. And damn, that bridge is even more beautiful at night.

(As I watched the opening credits, I realized I had completely forgotten about John and Scott!)

Here we go! )

Next week, Australia! Phil's home country! And it's MoJo's turn to fight with each other!

My weekly musings while watching the best reality show on TV, The Amazing Race. Make with the clicky as I got rather wordy tonight. )

Now, that's what I call a great TAR episode. Next week--Uh, oh. Looks like Ray and Yolanda are hit with a bad case of Killer Fatigue (tm TWoP) and BJ & Tyler stop clowning and get sunstroke.

Well, I missed the first twenty minutes of TAR tonight because I met my sweetie for dinner at Applebee's. Much good food and convo was had, and then I rushed home to watch the rest of TAR. (Oh and one of the Doctor Who tapes I won from Ebay came in the mail today~~score!)

So, when I tune in, all the teams are stuck in traffic except for the Asshats and the hippies who are at the Detour and getting big honkin' swordfish slapped across their shoulders. EW. They are gonna stink for the rest of the day.

Okay, EW, that market has pig heads and other grossness. Who eats this stuff?? And I cry foul that they only had to carry the fish a short distance. It doesn't seem like a challenge at all--except for the fish juice and blood and stink.

BJ or Tyler gave Monica a big hug...EW and HEE.

Hmm, I'm thinking Fran and Barry are taking the wrong Detour again...

Aww, Mo is having fun with the fish...so far.

Noooo, the Nerds have a serious case of Killer Fatigue (tm TWoP).

Oh, oh--Mo and Jo passed Jagino...aaand KF is getting to them, too. Joe was funny when he said: Drive yourself to the town of whatever...hee.

Hey, Fran and Barry did okay selling the fish. Whew. In past shows, selling to the locals has been difficult.

Yay, Lake and Michelle are behind! Boo, the Nerds and Ray and Yolanda are behind THEM. Heeee, Lake and Michelle totally went to the wrong guy and said "41."

Yay! The Nerds got a local to help them!

Did Lake just tell Michelle to "shut up?" And it turns out she was RIGHT?? Ohhhh he's a dick.

*Whoa.* Whew. Phil is smokin' hot tonight.

Kayak polo? It looks tough, but not as tough as Jagino...is that man every Central Casting Italian Mob guy ever?

Damn, I was so distracted by Phil's hotness at the Amazing Mat, I totally didn't wince that the Asshats are in the lead.

Wow, the kayak polo is so NOT hard--the players are letting the contestants score at will.

Welcome, Asshats, you're team #1 and you get this marvelous (sponsered) cruise. (Big Philly style?)

LOLOL, Phil tells them that they stink, and he totally doesn't mean of fish. BWAH!

BJ & Tyler, cavort to second place this week.

Damn, Lake may be an ass, but he's a HOT ass. Whew. What a chest and shoulders on that man.

Michelle does her first Roadblock! *dies from shock*

EEK! Phil is cavorting on the mat! He totally danced a jig. LOLOL.

Welcome, Monica and Joseph, you're team #3. Fran and Barry, team #4. Lake and Michelle, Team #5.

Wow, Ray overturned his kayak! But he's okay and taking shots from the opposite goal, practically.

Shit, the Nerds are last...AWWWW, Lori said to Dave "May the Force be with you" before he went to the kayak task...and right now I'm so hoping for a non-elimination episode...

Ray and Yolanda, you're team #6...which means...

The Nerds are last...*prays* "Please let it be a non-elim...."

Aw, Shit. They were Philiminated...and a groan was heard across the internet...

"He's my everything." Snif, the Nerds rule. I have to go cry now. Talk amongst yourselves.

Next week--Greek games! Wrestling-discus-spear-chucking...er...javalin throwing...and everyone's favorite (except for Fran, apparantly) BUNGEE!!

~~~~~~~~~~
My sweet hubby bought me the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" two disc special edition tonight! He rocks my socks! Talk about nerds in love...
