TAR

Somewhere between Gary making a joke about Dan being adopted so the boys can date and Dan in a dress, this whole episode is like a big slashy present wrapped up in ribbons and tied up in bows.

EDIT: A few things:

1. Brian and Ericka, READ THE DAMN CLUE.
2. Maria is completely useless, isn't she? Although I give them credit for, "Let's just hug it out for a minute" because, seriously, the majority of teams reach that level of stress and scream at one another.
3. GLOBETROTTERS FTW. That dancing was one of my favorite moments all season.

OTHER EDIT: Okay, that just sucked. They were trying their damnedest and they were beaten by two people who fucked up and tried to cover their asses. That was such an awful ending to watch, because I can't imagine how long they must have been swapping back and forth between the challenges trying to get just ONE to work out.

Also, show ... maybe you should have let Maria and Tiffany change back into their costumes so I, and I presume a great many other people watching, weren't going, "Boy, I bet they get eliminated."

Next week: OH NO FUCKING HAYSTACKS AGAIN?! I still have nightmares about that challenge and I didn't even DO it.

Yeah, there's a lot of complaints on the TWoP boards about how between both options tonight, the powers that be seemed almost eager to take down the only all-female team, and I concur wholeheartedly. When you've gone fifteen seasons without an all-female pair winning, perhaps it's time to examine your puzzles and challenges and weight them more towards intellectual pursuits rather than so heavily towards strength and other physical challenges.

And seriously, Maria was a lead weight around Tiffany's neck. I don't blame her one bit for being exhausted by the time this leg came around. That's what'll happen if you're the one doing all the heavy lifting.

Oh, have a present from me that I found on Tiffany Michelle's Twitter feed: TAR 15 Racers in Halloween Costumes!

Oh, my God, is that Cheyne as Richard Simmons? That big goofy dork. :D (I assume that's Cheyne, since Meghan's got her hands on him.)

The fact that Brian went as fucking Cheyne and Sam went as a tampon makes me love them all the more. *dies*
