I don’t like the way Bent and Hatie always say “the lesbians.” They don’t even have names, like people do. Even Jet and Cord, two cowboys from Oklahoma always say Brandy and Carol. They can figure out referring to people as “the blacks” or “the lesbians” is rude and a sure sign you’re probably as close-minded and bigoted as you sound. Then Hatie is in confessional whining about “the lesbians” teasing her about her tiara and how they have no reason to say anything because she’s like, only been in a couple pageants and while she’s saying it she’s got a sparkly tiara er… headband on. Right. I’ll be very disappointed if they win. I’m all for either a Dan/Jordan or Jet/Cord win. Those ice-cream sandwiches looked awesome. I’d have preferred the waffle over the bread. It looked like everyone liked the waffle and it ran out. I’d take the bread one though! ---

The waffle (wafer, really) is nice and crunchy, but the bread is good too! My favourite is the wafer though. 😃 I’m rooting for Jet/Cord too! By far my favourite team since Allie and Dad got eliminated. Team Like-They-Were-So-Mean-To-Me had better bomb out spectactularly this leg. Like they took a plane to the wrong country spectacular. GRrRRRr. ---

Where’s your outrage over “The Cowboys”? You’re just looking to take offense. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > The predictable response I saw coming a mile away. “The lesbians” is the same as “the cowboys.” 😃 Why isn’t it? Almost every team has a cheesy two word description of them. The Lesbians. The Cowboys. The Models. The Big Brother Team. The Brothers. It happens every season. You can’t really think this is a big deal _ **now** _ can you? ---

The Brothers. > > It happens every season. You can’t really think this is a big deal _ **now** _ can you? I object to the models’ refusal to grant Brandy and Carol any other status. You’ll notice the cowboys’ occupations are “bullrider” and “cowboy.” The models are in fact, models. I don’t see “lesbian” under occupation for B & C. In fact, under things people would be surprised to learn about Brandy is she’s bisexual. Earlier in [the season](http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/recaps/1603/recaps.php) > [@](#): > > Seeing Jet & Cord for the first time since Santiago, Brandy & Carol bombarded the cowboys with questions about how they found the bus that helped them win the previous leg. A little put off by the interrogation, Cord later commented, “I like someone to care about me and I didn’t get that warm fuzzy feeling.” Jet added, “A ‘Hey, how ya doing’ would’ve been nice. So, even they would prefer people take the time to treat them as people rather than simply “the cowboys.” I’m not here to paint Carol and Brandy as all sweetness and light. I’m simply pointing out one reason I don’t like the models. ---

I don’t see “lesbian” under occupation for B & C. In fact, under things people would be surprised to learn about Brandy is she’s bisexual. It doesn’t matter if she identifies as bisexual. The team nickname of “The Lesbians” identifies their relationship with each other. Just like “The Brothers.” It’s not like you see “brother” under occupation for Dan and Jordan, do you? Your desperate attempt to find offense rings hollow. ---

Just chiming in to say that ice-cream wrapped in bread is indeed yummy 🙂 And selling 25 slices is EASY, they go like hotcakes. And on the redbean thingy - the two most popular flavours here are actually probably redbean and sweetcorn (yes - sweetcorn icecream 😛 ) … ---

Ridiculous, but if it makes your world work, go for it. I’m not getting into one of your white knuckle arguments over a silly TV show. ---
