I have no real favorites. I like the cowboys, but don't like the mom and son duo. They get on my last nerve. Is it true they've done this three times? Why? I know he has a disability but she treats him like a baby and he acts like one. I'm probably the only one who likes Rachel and Brendon. I've watched her on BB, and she won that. She's whiny but they are both very smart and well educated and not mean.

Yep, we watched. I was impressed with the country guy, after he got over berating his poor wife. They HAD to know ahead of time that this was a race and she would need to be able to move fast and she is going to have a lot of trouble with that, it's plain to see. I think the cheese thing was a real test. I think they had to carry those useless things up the hill but I don't think they HAD to use them to carry the cheese down, at least not on their backs. I think sledding them down was probably the manner the locals would use, don't you? That may have been what they really were designed for, because as backpacks, they were worthless. I thought it showed some real ingenuity on the country guy's part to go that route. I really hope someone washed off all those cheeses, though, ew! I LOVE the little brothers! They are a riot and fun and strong and brave. And the FA's, too, loved her swan dive off the dam, gutsy broad! She didn't scream or anything. I hope all their travel experience comes in handy in airports. I hope the Dad doesn't pull his groin muscle any worse, that'll knock you out of a race for sure. I like the mother/son team but I wonder how long he'll last, he's very emotional. Phil signing was VERY cool! They'll have some challenges ahead, though, during certain kinds of road blocks, if he doesn't read lips. The brother/sister lawyer team- they really tried to pull a fast one, didn't they? Were they going to get off the train at some point but got busted first? I was a little distracted by something right then and might have missed it. The older married couple, I think they ticked off the cheerleaders (or was it the flight attendants) already, by lying to them about a train or something. It looks like a fun race is shaping up!

I had a really long and tiring day today. Came home, plopped in my chair and remembered Survivor tonight. I plan to sit here, watch the show and not move a muscle. Ooo. Merge.

The scene with Eva gave me a much better understanding of what its like to have autism. Her explanation of what she goes through was enlightening. Yeah, I got teary eyed, too. It was going to take a lot of pieces falling in place for Bianca ’s plan to work, so i wasnt surprised that she was voted off.Wish it had been Sai. Now Id wouldnt mind if Cedrek goes since he is making it possible for her to stay.
