Ha!
Looks like karma is bigger than you bitch!
Missed that. So they’re from Massachusetts?
OK, I don’t know what in the holy hell is going on with me this weekend (maybe it’s the roofing glue fumes or something), but I already want to punch SO MANY PEOPLE in the mouth for shrieking and whining. Like her, and her, and them. I mean, come on, you dilettantes! Who gets killer fatigue on Leg One? Amateurs.
“We’re not wimps for Jesus.” Love those ladies!
They didn’t specify that I saw. Recall that Reichen and Chip were described as married and they weren’t ever legally wed. CBS has been pretty cool throughout the Race in allowing people to define their relationships as they wish.
In other news, DONKEYS!!
Okay, I knew I wasn’t the most intuitive person, so it’s no surprise I was wrong about Ronald and Christina. So now they’re my first choice to win the whole race.
Donkeys are almost as cool as monkeys. I’m very equal-opportunity that way. Any animals that make people look as stupid as they actually are is OK in my book.
Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on a television program, ever (and remember that I watch “Survivor” religiously): “That donkey was so stubborn.” Um, freaking duuuuuuh? I would really like to know where they find some of these people.
There should be donkeys on every race. They’re the true test of a team’s mettle.
I flipped to CBS to watch the last 20 minutes over again. Weren’t you just waiting for, “My donkey is broken!”?
Still, serves them right for being so freaking mean to the donkey. You’d think they and the couple that finished next to last would have noticed that the other teams as they went by were praising their donkeys.
And more Ireland goodness next week.
On another note, I noted that at the beginning Phil said that there were 11 legs to the Race, eight of which were eliminations, so apparently they do indeed still have 3 NEL’s contrary to what I’d heard earlier.
This is the first episode I’ve ever watched and I thought it was hilarious. A quick check of the links Otto provided confirmed what I’d suspected – the ministers are Episcopalians! Go Anglicans!! OK, fine. Apparently technically one of them is a deacon, not a priest. I’m still rooting for them.
Actually, I wondered why the couple who had such trouble with their donkey didn’t try slapping it on its ass (pun intended). I felt a bit sorry for them, actually, but it was funny.
Yes, the blondes looked like twins to me. I was also mildly amused by the Goth couple referring to TK and Rachel as “the hippies”.
I think I have another television vice.
The teams got so split up and the stubborn donkey drew so much attention, that I forgot what happened that resulted in the karma biting people back.
TWO meltdowns on the FIRST leg? People complaining how THIS is the worst / toughest thing they’ve ever done? They should’ve trained better!
And yet again it seemed to me that the main element in team groupings was whose plane landed first.
ETA: We’ve roped in another Doper! We will make you, Siege, just. like. us.
They should’ve hooked themselves up with some of them robot jockeys from Kuwait. Donkeys with robot jockeys.
I’m the lowest-class person ever, but when Ari threatened to eat his donkey, I instantly said, “Probably wouldn’t be the first ass he’s eaten…”
I got slapped on the arm for that one.
Jason looks so much like a guy I know, it’s eerie. Does anyone know his last name?
So far I’m rooting for TK & Rachel.
That was made of awesome.
And I love Ronald. I just love him. He sang Danny Boy! Sorta.
The donkeys were freakin’ hilarious. I always enjoy when there are animals on the Race. I don’t remember if they’ve had donkeys before, but to put them on the first leg was downright cruel. I like that.
One highly annoying team down, about eight more to go.
It is possible that instead of being “traditional” NEL’s as we know them, they might instead be über-legs / TBC’s. Which could possibly be lame and stupid, but we will have to see.
I have heard that goose-wrangling is also quite difficult. I would enjoy seeing that, too, I think.
You win. You may may now claim possession of the teensy little piece of my soul that has not already been claimed by Mark Burnett, Jerry Bruckheimer, LOLcats, Mountain Dew, my personal cats, TGI Friday’s green bean fries, and/or my husband (probably in that order). Granted, it’s a very small shard, but it’s all yours.*

Excellent. I have never watched a whole season of TAR. I always catch it about halfways.
Go Donkeys!
The blondes are not hot at all. They look done and blah. There are plenty other hotter girls in this group.
I think I am already hating the Asian father-daughter team. And it seems they meltdown next week. I hate those teams that have a fight every flipping week.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW- HEE- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!
That was awesome.
“Donkeys have souls too.”
What is this supposed to mean? I don’t remember any orange for Aer Lingus. I am surprised that they flew to Dublin and then Shannon, never heard of them doing that before.
I’m quite surprised at the goth couple, they were much more interesting then I had imagined. If they keep up how they were tonight it might be kind of interesting.
