TAR 9: "Good Thing I Took That Human Anatomy Class in High School"

I’m stunned at the idea that someone in 2006 has no way of recording a program for future viewing. I’d offer to tape it for you and send you the tape, but that really won’t do you any good without a VCR. At least you can read the TWoP recap.

As for who’s going home tonight, assuming it’s not a NEL, I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict Team MoJo. I just have a feeling that Mo is going to flip out and cost them the leg. Dunno why exactly but there it is. Feel free to mock me in a jocular fashion if I’m wrong.

I know; it’s barbaric. We don’t have Caller ID, either!

We actually do have a VCR, but it’s not set up and I’m not even convinced that either one of us knows how to program it, so fat lot of good it does me.

I’m feeling surprisingly awake, and I’ve tried practicing my PowerPoint but it is pissing me off, so TAR it is.

PowerPoint has that effect on me all the time. If it will help, while you’re giving your presentation tomorrow, picture all of us out here cheering you on. Or, if you need to, picture Phil in his underwear. Or at least a pair of pants that don’t make him look like a totally irreparable dweeb.

Couldn’t find any pictures of Phil in his underwear, but here’s one that showcases his ability to levitate despite being a double-amputee.

I’ll act it out next time I see you.

Fran and Barry are the play hard get more team? So you win that by half-assing the Roadblock and then half-assing the Detour? Interesting.

I have some friends who just got back from Italy. I’ll have to be sure to ask them if they made it to PALOMINO.

“One of Phil’s turtlenecks.” Hee. With that line they make up the ground they already lost tonight.

I was distracted, did Monica and Joseph take a cab to the Detour when they were supposed to drive themselves?

No, they followed a cabbie who led them there.

Is it just me, or has Lake done every roadblock so far?

Who is the team that just came in third? Seriously, I’ve never seen them before in my life.

Lake is a dentist?! Anybody else thinking about Little Shop of Horrors right now?

We knew Lake is a dentist. Michelle is his hygienist.

Let’s talk Yield. I think Dave and Lori made a mistake not using it. They knew there were several teams right behind them and that there was a Roadblock coming up. They needed to give themselves some time. Lake and Michelle played it right, Yielding a team they knew was behind them after having lost time going to the wrong place.

Oh dear god. Hippie-Gonad hookups in the offing.

Best lines of the night (from Monica and JOSEPH): “I’m not a dumb blonde.” “We need tickets to Palomino, Italy.” (Runner up line: We’re going to PALLER-moe, Italy!"

God, it’s gorgeous there. I wanna go!!!

I loved the Hippies “Bowling Moms” T-shirts.

The best line of the night was Lake’s “Honey, you know I can’t do the Internets,” or whatever he actually said. That was almost as good as “That was partially my fault.”

The man’s an ass, but at least I get to laugh at him!

Wolfian, that was Monica and Joseph, ie Team Mojo (as they name themselves). I think they’ll stay in the top three next week, as David & Lori succumb to killa fatigue.

Dave and Lori are so supervenusfreak and me, when we’re a little punchy and get snappish at each other.

cry cry “I never want to be like that to him again!” waaaaaahhhh!

Is it just me, or is Lake turning out to be one of the more complex people on the show this season?

Finally the Hippies explain their incessant “humor.” They use it to get people to help them. I can think of two flaws in that theory. First, my guess is that they have at least a 50% chance of driving away the people they “joke” with and second, they aren’t funny.

Blond Gonad zhuzhing his hair, offering to pose shirtless for his teammate and commenting on ancient buff Greeks? Could someone be dropping pealrs?

Yeah, that little bit of hoyay with the whole “He’s going to see how buff the ancient Greeks were and leave me” thing was…interesting.

O Lord why me!

I set the DVD recorder to copy from 10:00 to 10:05. You see…. I was going to outfox them if they had it run a little long.

Anybody know a good recap site?
