I know the feeling. Have to break down and get another VCR. So much to watch on TV, not enough recorders! lol

[jriemer]

Thanks. It's hard to imagine that the LBOJ was born 5-6 TARs ago.

But what was with his "colege" shirt?

I don't know. When they first arrived in Seattle, Vipul was wearing a "What Would MacGyver Do?" t-shirt--really :)

[pbear8]

We need team names again.

I'm glad Tean Jihad is out but I liked Team Normal, they were nice. Team Blonde? Team Bionic? Team Frilly 3? Team Moms? Team Wins? Team Rah? Team

Help me out Jonny.

What got me was when Ma and Pa Kettle got to the finish line and there they are in the box with the Chinese guy and the host smiling at them and he tells them they are still in the game and that is one time all cameras and eyes are upon them and Ma reaches waaaay in and gropes for her bra strap!

Will you believe me if I tell you that not everyone in Kentucky is like that?

[silent_jonny]

"Team Jihad" would've been a good one :)

"Excuse me, infidel. Could you tell us how to get to the Vatican?"

Ma reaches waaaay in and gropes for her bra strap!

LOL, yeah I caught her doing that. LOL

"Excuse me, infidel. Could you tell us how to get to the Vatican?"

You are so bad, lol.

I loved it when the islamos were eliminated. If they had not been eliminated, I really don't think I would have been able to stay with the show this season. Wonder if the producers realizing that they had made a mistake with these two, decided at the last second to throw in the "suprise" elimination?

[arizonarachel]

I have to agree with you...on a previous 'preview' post, I picked them to be one of my 'teams.' But after watching them last night, I do not like some of the things they do - they both seem rude (it irks me that they didn't say "thank you" for any of their clues) and I am not going to root for them.

After watching last night (on TiVO), I liked the Indian team that was eliminated, and I'm sticking by the former drug addicted models as one of my top teams. I also like the Coalminer.

Sorry this response got so long! :-)

My favorite Cletus quote is when Marge is in the demolition derby, and her helmet flies off. Celtus catches it, and says, "Look, I caught a head!" Then he turns it over so the face hole side is up, and says, "Aw, dang! It's been scooped out!"

[Abigail Adams]

I was so glad that Team Jihad was eliminated. I don't think I could have watched any more basphemy with the "Almond Arkbark" and what have you. It made me sick to my stomach. I feel bad that I felt this way. But I couldn't help looking at them as people who want to kill us all.

I thought the hillbilly couple was a great addition. Let's have more of that kind of diversity...People who aren't normally on reality game shows!

Enough with the model-actress-miss usa-cheerleader types. How about some young women who are doctors, lawyers, writers, engineers, etc.?

I am rooting for the ex-druggies, the hillbillies, and the two Asian guys.

[shatcher]

Yeah! I just found this TAR thread for this first time. I am a TAR addict...the best reality show there is!

Did anyone else notice the difference in the way the bionic girl team and the hillbillies talked to one another? The bionic guy was encouraging the bionic girl,"You are a first class athlete, you train for the Ironman, you can do this..." versus "Shut up! Don't talk to me, just shut up!" from the hillbillies. I found this to be an eye opening example of the difference between working successfully as a team by building each other up versus telling your teammates things that are not positive or helpful.

I saw the preview for next week with the animals. Looks like one couple quits. Who does the yak drag? (there's a question I never thought I'd ask)

[Abigail Adams]

I think how people treat each other is at least partly due to what is "normal" for people around us. So I think there are some cultural and socioeconomic factors in play.

[silent_jonny]

Would you like to be added to the ping list?

[silent_jonny]

(((TAR Ping)))

Episode #2: Beijing, China to Ulan Bator, Mongolia

"Can Horses Smell Fear?"

The pressure mounts as teams must switch tasks mid-stream; several teams begin to form alliances.

The race resumes tonight at its regular time: 8pm EST, after football & 60 Minutes.

As always, if you want on or off this ping list, just let me know.

[A knight without armor]

5 hours and 5 minutes.

I think the Asians will try to chop off Cowboy.

[silent_jonny]

I think the Asians will try to chop off Cowboy.

What?

Oh, you mean Survivor :)
