House and Amazing Race
morningwind, heeelp! Somehow my TiVo got fucked up and recorded House instead of the Amazing Race. Please tell me who got eliminated?
I used to watch House every week until I decided to take morningwind's advice and check out TAR-- well, that, and the fact that I've already got enough medical heebie-jeebies right now without seeing it on my TV set. But since TiVo ( Read more... )

As for The Amazing Race, OMFG. This recaplet will give some idea of what happened (the recapper lurves Rob & Amber, so be forwarned...nrgh), as well the CBS site, but that was an awesome episode all-around. When the brothers came up from behind after the car accident to pull even with Ray/Deana at the Detour, followed by a Jeep race through bush country and a foot race to the mat, I had to remind myself that I was in a dorm living run and couldn't scream "RUN! RUN RUN RUN RUN!" at the brothers. If they had lost to asswad Ray, I think I would've thrown something at the TV. But even though Ray and Deana had initially had a small lead, they couldn't maintain it in the foot race and were eliminated. And the brothers cried, especially when they heard that their injured cameraman would be okay. Whew.
Am seriously starting to HATE Rob and Amber. Every single team either got out of their car (Lynn and Alex) or came to a rolling stop when they saw the crash, except for Romber. Because "it's a competition" and "we're in a race." What the fuck?

dorm living run = dorm living room
(dun no how 2 spell, lol *headdesk*)
And the new penalty for coming in last on a non-elimination leg (like the first half of this two-hour episode) is harsh. Starting in TAR5, racers in that situation would be forced to give up their money and would receive no funds on the next leg. Now, not only do they get the money penalty, but they have to give up all their possessions and can't get them back until the end of the race. Poor bleeding Gretchen and Meredith were all bewildered that they would have to race from now on with only their passports and the clothes on their backs. (Fortunately for them, all the other teams donated clothes and food to the elderly couple except for -- you guessed it -- Ray/Deana and Romber) But they came in 5th in the second leg! Sorry for criticizing your screeching, Gretchen, because you rock. All the other teams cheered for them as they made it to the Pit Stop, which was really sweet)

I got a huge kick out of the fact that they beat Ray/Deana in a physically demanding Detour (corn grinding in Botswana) the next leg, and came in 5th over R/D's last place (7th) finish. Har har har.
The black couple (Uchenna/Joyce) placed third. Not bad! I'm very fond of them and the brothers, who brought plenty of goofball humor when they weren't, er, flipping their jeep.

Who came in first, though? Pleeeease tell me it wasn't the Gruesome Twosome. Those two assholes don't need another million bucks!
(We should do a swap-- I watched TAR, you should watch Survivor tomorrow. :)

Ray/Deana actually came in first on the non-elim leg, since they succesfully completed the Fast Forward...not that it mattered eventually. *eg* And no, Romber didn't come in first on either leg; the second leg (with the elimination of now-engaged (!) Ray and Deana) went to Ron/Kelly.

Hehe, does The Apprentice count? I know previews love to be misleading, so I don't anticipate that Chris will go completely nuclear...but he does have one hell of a temper, doesn't he? Wacky little man.
