While I agree that an Amazing Race team consisting of Sheldon and Penny would be absolutely hilarious, I think you got the wrong thread… 😃

I hate her glasses. **Hate** them. if she is allowed to wish for mechanical failure for the other teams’ airplane, then I am allowed to wish that her glasses get trampled by an elephant somewhere.

My husband calls that team the Power Lesbians. Evidently he works with a lot of women with similar personalities.

As far as the eliminated team, I wish some others would have gone ahead of them. The way one supported the other through the lasso task was the way Canaan should have dealt with Mika last season.

OOPs, Yes, I did get the wrong thread. And it would be hilarious to have them on the Amazing race.

Wha? I don’t remember this. Enlighten me please? Or just jog my memory..

(Just catching up now, haven’t watched any Amazing Race until this weekend so I’m still a few eps behind. Plan to be caught up by next Sunday, so I’m sorry for the bump but I am racking my brain for what happened that I can’t remember.)

I figured that was a reference to Mika & Canaan at the waterslide. At one point he grabbed her and was trying to take her in the direction of the slide, although whether he’d have actually pushed her down was never determined. I don’t remember them being married though, so not “spouse abuse”; or **Fenris** was referring to something else.

I think that’s what this season should be called. I’m enjoying it, but still these folks are clueless.

The Cowboys did okay tonight. But, as usual they came in the middle of the pack.

Psssst! We’re all talking about it [over here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=600617). 🙂

We generally have a separate thread for each episode, for TAR, anyway.
