apocalypsos*SQUEEEEEE* Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. For the next month, TAR is where most of my fannish glee is resting, so ... *squeeee*
See, watching the "Previously" clips makes me realize that I would probably like Patrick just fine if he would just shut up about Rob and Amber for the rest of the race. It won't happen, but I can dream. (And when I say "Patrick," I mean "Patrick and everyone else." But considering who's the worst offender ... well, really.)
Also, Brian and Greg are officially impossible to tell apart. We need to do like Stephanie suggested on an episode of Full House and just put red nail polish on one of their backs. (No, I don't know why I'm retaining that knowledge. Probably specifically to make it more difficult for me to relearn Spanish and/or German or something. Well, hell, at least I can't remember any of Dave Coulier's bad impressions.)
I'm seriously debating whether or not to buy The Notebook on DVD and I can't figure out why. Oh, wait, Ryan Gosling with a beard. Right.
Anyway, back to the episode!
You know, they mention Cusco, I think of The Emperor's New Groove.
Oh, for crying out loud. Bunching already? *sigh*
I think Miss Alli is right about Amber being the spaz-wrangler in that relationship. Hee.
HA. Sure, Patrick. Rob's stupid. That's why he actually went and researched when the bus showed up.
Alex and Lynn are going to show they can be butch? *snerk*
No, Rob, don't team up with Ray and Deanna! Uchenna and Joyce, okay, because they're not bothering me that much. They're pathetic, but they don't piss me off. Plus, Uchenna is awfully pretty.
Rob, you ARE lying. But other teams, you really need to remember it's a race. I mean, it's a lowdown thing to do with Rob paying off the security guard, but hey, wouldn't you have done the same thing?
BWAH. Rob is such an asshole. I LOVE it, though. It's fun to watch him be a conspiring little bastard. :)
Who loves shoes? Why was I not the least bit surprised when Alex said, "We both love shoes"? *snerk*
Oh, dude, Ron's a ringer on the shoe shine thing. He's in the military, for crying out loud.
Oh, that guy just did it for Debbie or Bianca or whoever the hell it was to kiss him. Hee.
So now they don't even have to race for their tickets? Okay, I guess that'll have to happen every once in a while.
Joyce, don't just stand there. Get up and walk around. Sheesh.
Yay, The Incredibles is coming out on DVD on Tuesday! And I have a copy reserved! It makes me just as happy as Finding Neverland on the 22nd! *happy dance*
Aw, Rob and Amber are so cute together. See, that's the difference between Jonathan acting like an asshole and Rob acting like an asshole. Because Rob's entertainingand hot when he does that, and Rob obviously loves Amber all over. (Or, you know, he's just a really good faker. But on the other hand, I've seen how badly he lies tonight.)
"We're good at pulling up the rear." Oh, Lynn. Are you trying to set up jokes or does it just happen?
Er, I really can't help but look at the Yellow Line and think of Alive. I mean, I've only read the book and saw the movie about five million times.
Okay, see? Ron and Kelly aren't bad if they lay off the POW/Beauty Queen schtick.
Ooooooh. That light blue V-neck that Phil's wearing is lovely. But it'd look lovelier on my bedroom floor. *hears groans* What? What'd I say?
"Schlep"? *snerk*
Shop or schlep? Oh, I'd so choose the books. Because dude, books. "Books" is the answer to everything.
Hello, Barbie Squared! *waves*
Deanna's wearing a shirt that says "Take a hike." I see Lynn's not the only one setting up jokes.
Okay, now that's a time when begging for money is interesting. See that, race planners? Not exchanging money = good begging. Robbing the racers at the Amazing Bathmat and having them hit up American tourists in hotels and on the streets for about five minutes = stupid begging.
Kelly's got a point, Ron. Never make more than one trip unless you absolutely have to.
Hee. Once again, Rob and Amber prove they're not a threat because they cheat, but because they know what they're doing. (Okay, they do both, but still. ;P)
Watching all of this Spanish speaking is making me realize that I remember more Spanish than I thought.
My Gay Boys, I really like you, but you're seriously hitting every gay stereotype EVER.
They have to count them when they get there? Oh, why do I have a feeling that'll come up later?
Yay! Rob and Amber are going to get there first!
Okay, something about Gretchen and Meredith is driving me up a wall. I don't know if it's what Miss Alli pointed out -- that they're both kind of like those friends of your parents who fake being cool to sell you Amway or some stupid crap like that -- but it's something, and it's seriously bugging me.
"Welcome to Chile!" Hee. Couldn't Meredith and Gretchen's directions guy have come along?
I love those books. They're like "decorating your house" books. *pets*
Oh, God, Patrick really is that semi-cute dorky you used to date who turned out to be gay.
Well, I see Ron and Kelly caught up just fine. :)
Yay, Meredith and Gretchen finished shopping! (Not because they finished the shopping, but because I couldn't watch them shop anymore.)
... the hell? Were Patrick and Susan shopping for whores and booze with their spare cash? Why did they spend the entire leg begging for cash?
ACK. Joyce's face at certain angles scares the hell out of me. She's like Eartha Kitt if Eartha Kitt were terrifying.
You know, I'd be angry that Lynn and Alex argued with the fish guys, but seriously, I think they had a point that the scale might have been rigged, since Meredith and Gretchen had the same problem.
Okay, is Bianca the redhead? Yeah, I think she is. *makes note* (Wait, she's Debbie. Sheesh.)
Urgh. We might have to do that nail polish thing with Barbie Squared.
Meredith just referred to himself in the third person. *sigh*
Yay! My Gay Boys are still in it!
Well, Meredith and Gretchen are still in the race.
You know who Patrick reminds me of? Eric Stolz, circa 1987.
"Use your library voice." HEE.
Yay! Bye, Barbie Squared! You weren't jerks, but you sure weren't easy to tell apart.
AWWW. Breg is crying. (Yeah, I can't tell them apart, either, so now they're Breg and Grian.)
Next week: Rob and Amber steal Debbie and Bianca's cab because they were accused of lying. Which they did. So now they can be accused of lying and stealing. Excellent.

Date: 2005-03-09 05:08 am (UTC)Brilliant! I love them!
And I'm so glad Rob & Amber are in this race, man... they're devious and delicious. They're devicious!
I especially liked Rob palming his contribution to the bribe. That was quality. And OMG the wink was just as perfect as I'd hoped. *hearts him*

Date: 2005-03-09 05:12 am (UTC)so I can go to my bunk and watch it. The man turns me into a flailing, gibbering fangirl.The thing that makes up for Breg and Grian being impossible to tell apart is that they're sweet, they've got a great sense of humor, and so far, they've popped out at least one priceless one-liner every episode. (See: "Doesn't 7:00 come before 7:40?" Hee.)

Date: 2005-03-09 11:22 am (UTC)Actually, it's fairly easy. Greg is the one with the slightly wider face and frame.
Rob and Amber... I'm a bit torn. I certainly can appreciate the fact that they're great racers, but I'm really beginning to hate him personally - I'm calling it the Colin Effect. Bribing everyone? Not the height of honor, but it's a race and it's allowed. Lying about it? Now come on. At least own up to it.
At least one more team I didn't like went this week, though the number of teams I actually like is diminishing.

It's Gretchen's voice that I can't stand. She always speaks with a raised you and talks really slowly to people who don't speak/kinda speak English as if they were 2 years old. She totally that grandma who still talks to you like a 4 year old and buys you birthday cards with cartoon puppies on them when you're 16.
My brother pointed out the most excellent thing about the brothers last night -- when they hit the mat and learned they weren't out, and one put his head back and said "Yes!", they look exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. You watch next episode -- it's all in the nose-lip-chin area.
