UPDATE: April 2024 I dug up this same "Pharoahs Mask" last fall, dried it out and then put it in a shoe box and put it in under the desk in a too cool empty bedroom. I potted it up on February 12/24 and exactly 2 months later it showed signs of life! And here it is today: (What has your experience been as a 'usual' amount of time after potting it up in the early spring before it pokes through the soil...my 2 months seems like too long?)

Sushi, so funny, I just watched Survivor Toucantins. My son was here and started it and i got hooked. Yes, Austin reminds me of JT. Dont know about Bruce. I still dont have a favorite.

I was really happy with ‘old school’ AR this season. That is what they called it and I really hope they stick to the format. Most of the racing teams really didn’t get into any huge arguments (a few did, and I chalk most of that up to the stress and fatigue of the race itself). The finale was great. The winners were smart and played smart all the way. But any one of those 3 teams could have won.

I like pretty much all the TAR teams. I’m not a huge fan of Cesar & Ricky, who have had the lead 3 times now. They seem overly confident, and I don’t see them as all that capable above the others really. I also didn’t get why Danny’s Mom kept insisting she could do all the challenges either, when she didn’t seem suited for them. Maybe you’re correct, schoolhouse, and Danny is keeping his turn until the end. Not that I think he can do better at any of the physical challenges.
