Okay, so. I don't have a problem with playing the game. I loved Boston Rob, man. But if you're going to play the game, you own up to it. You don't whine to Phil with phoniness about "they're playing mind games, and we don't do that." Bullshit, Mo of MoJo. "Wah wah wah, they Yielded us." Oh, and you wouldn't have done the same if you'd got there before the hippies did? Pleeeease.

I'm really wondering right now about the editing re: the eventual winner. They're really villainizing MoJo right now, and next week's previews look rather grim for Monica at least, so does that mean they aren't the winners? Are they setting them up as the root-against team now that Lake is gone, so people will feel validated when they don't win? Looking back over season 6, I think they started to try and humanize Kendra toward the end, so people wouldn't be so annoyed when she and Freddy eventually won. That's kind of what's happening with Ray and Yolanda right now-- emphasizing how much they've learned and how much better they're working together now vs earlier in the show. The other two teams are getting pretty much the same coverage they've always gotten. I'm really fascinated by the editing process behind these stories, especially after hearing the take of the SW mom who was on Trading Spouses.

At the moment I'm kind of annoyed with everyone except Ray and Yolanda, who picked a fantastic time to finally start navigating properly. Also, we finally watched last week's episode, and Yolanda's "Yeah! I'm a badass bitch!" cracked us up for a good five minutes. (Close behind was "oh no! my peg leg!" from the hippies this week.)

And finally, BJ! No shoes!? *shakes head*

the amazing race
