Okay, "Paolos" and "teamwork" should not be in the same sentence. Also, I know that the Paolos standing in front of a garbage truck in the credits is a reference to the dad's job, but it also seems like a pretty apt commentary on them in general, don't you think?

And ... a VAMPIRE BATS movie? Hee! It'll be awful!

This is like the third time Phil's had to make a crack about the Gaghans having to climb out of last place.

YAY! We're leaving the country!

Mama Paolo's ideal situation is that DJ hugs her and says he loves her? Hell, I would think "extremely late-term abortion" would be a better goal.

Ah, the Linzes. They can always be counted on to be complete five-year-olds.

Oh, Christine Pink Lady, you can just blow me. Moron.

"Better to be second to last than eliminated." Well at least Carissa seems to get what so many of those "We've got to be first!" bastards usually don't figure out until it's too late.

HEE! Okay, whichever one of the Pink Ladies told DJ to be nice to his mother gets five points.

"From now on, I do the talking." Fuck off, DJ.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we have bunching. Really bad bunching. Like, the second plane will catch up. Woohoo!

"El Speedo!" Heh.

"Paolos Currently in First Place" -- *gags*

He's picking up somebody else?! The hell?

I really wish the Weavers would stop asking the Lord for stuff, because really, the Lord doesn't care.

OOO! This is a good Detour! I like this.

Oh, God, why the hell are the Paolos doing the Fast Forward? They're in first, for crying out loud! *gags* They're really testing my gag reflex.

The Gaghans are in third now? YAY!

I so want the kids to bungee jump.

Are the Linzes the only ones who have an actual Spanish speaker among them?

Oh, please wimp out, DJ, oh, please wimp out ... *crosses fingers*

Wait, they're tying DJ to his mother and pushing them off a bridge? Is it Christmas? Or my birthday?

... DAMN IT.

"I've always wanted to be a birdwatcher." Ah, something I have never gotten the appeal of, but whatever.

*headdesk*
*headdesk*
*headdesk*

And they won a trip to Panama, too? Well, FUCK. They're such assholes. Why the hell do they deserve anything? GOD.

I like the birdwatcher guy.

Oh, God, I really hope Billy Gaghan plays Little League.

Oh, Mama Weaver, shut it. You probably think you're in Florida.

Please tell me tonight is a non-elimination round.

Wow. Yay for Bill!

So of course, the Paolos and Mama Weaver behave like idiots and end up in first and second place, respectively. *headdesk*

HEE! The thing where they boost the stuff from people who aren't getting eliminated is only funny when it leads to montages of the teams putting on every single piece of clothing they brought with them. :)

"Did you know it was illegal in Panama to wear underpants on top of underpants on top of your pants?" BWAH! Why do I want that on an icon?

Next week: The Weavers get stuck in the mud. Again. This is, like, a theme with them or something.

In other news, I just saw my first Category 7: The End of the World commercial. November 6th ... I so have to remember that for taping and recapping purposes.

Before the season aired, based on nothing more than that picture of all the families together, I picked the Paolos to win. I hope I didn't jinx things. :(

*totally blows off the stats lecture going on to read her flist*

I can't believe they tied DJ to his mother and are shoving them off a bridge.

I am going to have the happiest dream in the world tonight, and I doubt it'll end like it's going to on the show.

I'll be reloading this entry in about 10 minutes to see what happens. Thanks for the service! ;) Sadly, I won't get to actually watch the episode until tomorrow. WOE.

It's actually a pretty exciting episode for once this season, if you ignore the placement of the Paolos. (And the behavior of Mama Weaver, because apparently it's okay for her to yell rude instructions but not for anybody else. *eye roll*)

That would be hysterical!

I dunno

The Paolos are growing on me. I do get the feeling that the race is having some kind of effect on them to improve things.

I was still rooting for DJ to chicken out though. I really want to see the Gaghans finish first on the leg. Carissa will go nuts.

At the very least, they weren't half as annoying on this leg as they were on other legs, which was good, but they spent the entire episode with really good placements, which usually helps their mood, it seems. If they can keep this up, I might be able to at least tolerate them. (Although I don't think I'll ever really like them at all, and practically cheered when the other teams in line at the airport told DJ to knock it off. Finally.)

I would love to see the Gaghans come in first in a leg, because they really do deserve it. Their bad placements seem less to do with their game play, which is almost uniformly good, and more with travel mishaps. And I do really want to see Carissa spazz out over first place, although part of the reason I love them is that they're perfectly content with second-to-last place (understanding that first place doesn't really count in this game until that last leg) and they're always polite and having a good time.

Honestly, I want the Weavers gone before the Paolos at this point. The Paolos are loud and grating, but I'm actually beginning to tune them out. All the bickering is so commonplace that it's no longer surprising.

The Weavers, though? "You hush! You're so rude! We're being encouraging!" Yeah, encouraging their boat to slow down before YOU STUPID BITCH. I think the big difference between the two families is that there's a chance that the Paolos will watch themselves and realize they were complete assholes... the Weavers will watch themselves and think everything's just fine.

Ick. That's a good point. I can see the Weavers sitting at home saying, "But we didn't do anything wrong." Meanwhile, I think it'd be kind of hard for the Paolos to miss how bad they behaved and NOT be embarrassed.
