In terms of the penalty, the one thing we don’t know is how much time Ron and Christina wasting looking for the fanny pack. If it was five or ten minutes then the penalty seems fair. if it was closer to half an hour (or longer) then it doesn’t.

> Kisha and Jen must have been popping out of those paper bras the whole time because every shot of them had the Amazing Blur in place. Odd, since Mallory’s and Vyxsin’s physiques seem more… blurworthy.

I noticed that too, and all I could figure was that in editing, it was too hard to tell what was mud and what was brown skin, so they blurred excessively just to avoid any problems.

She’s broader and taller. The broader, taller partner is always the big spoon. It just doesn’t work otherwise.

I have a strongly attuned gaydar, and Kent isn’t ringing my “gaaaay” bell. Queer, yes. But no sexual interest in women at all? No. I’ve known a good half dozen guys like him, beyond metrosexual with the hair and the makeup and their daily wardrobe looks like a costume and physically slight, but they still like girls.

Is it just me, or has a disaster/tragedy hit regions this show has just been to a lot during the last few seasons?
