Amazing Race... and psyching myself up for tall buildings
How freaking insane would someone like Peter make me? REALLY REALLY INSANE. All the motivational bullshit and trying to make Sarah stop in the middle of chasing their crazy Mongolian animal so they could discuss the issue or somesuch? Yeah, I would have bitch-slapped him into next week. I'm glad that she is all "hmm, I am learning things about him and filing them away for later" in her interview, because he is just way annoying.
I think they were pretty awesome in going BACK to the original task after chasing their crazy animal, though. I mean, they were sooo determined and refused to give up, and that's awesome.
Men also don't seem to realize that women (okay, and I am stereotyping here I guess, but really) tend to cry even when we don't want to cry. Even when we know it's stupid and pointless to cry. We just CRY. It doesn't mean anything except that we are releasing those emotions and then we can move on.
When Rob was yelling at... is it Kimberly?... to slow down when they were fetching water, she should have spurred the animal to run! Okay, so maybe in terms of wanting to win a million dollars she shouldn't have, but man, you start screaming at me and ordering me around and consistently putting me down, my instinct is to do exactly what you don't want me to do, and then laugh at you. Clearly I would not win the Amazing Race. But I also wouldn't be with someone like Rob in the first place.
I loved loved loved Tom and/or Terry's reaction to hitting the target! Jumping up and hugging the Mongolian dude. Awesome, man. I really like this team.
The Beauty Queens continued to do well; if Dustin hadn't lost her helmet they would have probably been in the top two. I still like them and The Models.
I like Erwin and Godwin too. They seem to have the worst luck! And they're still fairly laid back, which they can't be if they want to win. But I'm pushing for them. How rude was it when... who was it.. The Single Moms, Karlyn and Lyn, refused to even STOP when The Recovering Addict Models car was broken down? ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A JACK, BITCHES. I sooo wanted them to come in last, but alas The Cheerleaders are dumb as dirt.
I kind of liked The Kentucky Hillbillies today, despite my best judgment. She still treats her husband like shit, never encourages him, and looks like she's got a lemon in her mouth whenever he tries to do anything, and there's no excuse for that. But they helped The Single Moms find the water, and they gave their extra water to them as well, and then they were really the only team that seemed truly upset that another team had car trouble. They seem like they want to win fairly, not because another team has technical problems or whatever. Also, their whole "We've never met any... long pause... *gay people*... cheery... But we like them!" was cute because they truly are just completely babes in the woods and their horizons are being expanded SO much.
And in OMG I AM GOING TO SEE GALE IN NEW YORK news, I have booked the flight for me and Amy!!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!! Tomorrow I have to go pay down some of my credit card (had to charge the flight, so I'm going to pay off the cost of the flight in cash) in order to free up room on the card to book the hotel room. OMG LESS THAN TWO MONTHS PEOPLE.
Also, I am freaking terrified of heights. Like, I have to hug the wall of my friend's 5th floor balcony because there is all open space and it's scary. Like, I wobble when I stand on a chair because it's all open space and I may fall. Like, I will not go on a ferris wheel.
So why do I want to go to the top of the Empire State Building? There is an enclosed viewing area that's probably pretty wide, right? I COULD DO THIS, COULDN'T I?
