First thing to pop into my head when I read that;

My husband and I play the “who would do what task” game while we watch the show. We both really want to do the bike thing over the bay, but we both agreed that I would lead the donkey. Apparently I’m likely to be more stubborn than it!

I really thought I’d hate the Goths (did you know? They’re Goths! Go Goths! urrrggghh… drinking game indeed) but they raced well and they don’t seem as bad as the stereotype I assumed they would be. I’m glad Ari and Staella(?) got eliminated - they were so annoying!

Goths who self-identify as cartoons?

Oooookaaaay. I honestly can’t wait for them to go to some uptight middle eastern country and see how far pancake makeup gets them…or when the roots begin to show…

Crap, crap, crap.  
My VCR didn’t tape it, and so I missed it.

Is it available on-line somewhere? At [CBS.com](http://CBS.com)? I’m not seeing it on the home page.

I hated Ari and I’m glad he’s gone. I also hate the goths and hope they go next (but I know they won’t). Although I’m pretty convinced Kent will drop the goth makeup in a few episodes because I think he only does it to get into Vixen’s pants.

Early pick for the winners: The hippies (TK and what’s her name).

Missed the edit window - Can someone give me a recap of what happened? What are the teams like?

I’m not entirely confident that it’s Vyxzxzen’s pants that Kynt\* wants to get into…I think something in a men’s style is more likely.

\*Can I please nominate this name as the one that’s most likely to cause either mortal embarrassment or serious attention to the spell-checker in this particular edition of the Race?

[Official Recap](http://alpha.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race12/recaps/ep1201/)

[YouTube videos of the episode.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMlxRtakugY) The rest of the parts are in the scroll box to the right of the video. Be warned…I have no idea how long they’ll stay up. CBS has demanded YouTube eps be removed before.
