Who’s Stanley Johnson? 
I saw Don & MJ on The Early Show this morning. They were at the Berlin church for 2 and a half hours looking for the clue box, before Don spotted it across the street. They didn’t bother to read the last sentence of the clue, where it mentioned the broken chain statue.
After the first, oh, hour or so, don’t you think it would occur to you to reread the clue? :eek:
I wasn’t going by his self presentation. I figured he was being his usual obnoxious self or delusional when talking about how wonderful his spa is. But the IMDB link mentions how successful it is.
Best Don and MJ moment of the episode was when they kept looking and looking, and Don says, “We don’t have a clue what we’re looking for.”
Yes, you do! It’s in the bright yellow CLUE ENVELOPE in your pocket!
He was a guy in a commercial a while back.
“Hi. I’m Stanley Johnson. I have a wife and three kids. We live in a nice house in a good neighborhood. Like my car? It’s new. blahdeblah. I’m in debt up to my eyeballs.”
Stupid attempt at humor.
Didn’t he write that himself?
I can’t think of anyone else with their head that far up his ass…
What’s up with people using * rather than writing the butt’s name?
Also, check out the message boards at his and Victoria’s website. I wonder how many of those threads will be deleted.
Using the little graphic of an anus is preferable to defaming all the other Jonathans in the world by associating their name with his.
Unless it’s Victim herself. I’m impressed with the total incoherence of that bio as much as with its bullshit level.
And it’s kind of like an indication of “He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named”. I’m almost ready to start calling him Voldemort myself.
And she is soon to be dubbed Victimia in Chez Jayjayfreak…
No, Voldemort is an interesting character with a good amount of depth and intrique, with a storyline that keeps me captivated.
Jonathan’s just a pathetic twit not worth my time.
Oh, I get it now. It’s like in Breakfast of Champions, when Vonnegut drew a picture of an asshole like so:
I liked it.
Yeah, Vonnegut’s shorthand is the perfect description of this guy.
I can understand being at the end of your rope at this point in the race. By the time they hit the finish line, the teams had been going for close to 40 hours, with the only sleep they got on planes, in airports, and in front of the slavehouse. But that is still no excuse for *'s behaviour. I’m tempted to think Victoria is just as bad for picking up the pack * dropped, but it’s obvious she knows even more shit would have shoved down her throat had his bag been stolen.
Got to say though, that if * had actually carried his own bag, they would have won the leg easily. If that (virus? bug? paramecium?) spent 1/10th as much energy to thinking ahead as he did to venting, he’d probably win this race.
As to the rest of the show, I think it’s easy to pick the final three teams:
Hayden/Aaron
Kris/Jon
*/Victim
Lori and Bolo just can’t navigate to save their lives, Gus lacks a competitive drive, and Adam and Rebecca just aren’t good enough to make the final cut.
The only way this changes, of course, is if * and Victim come in last in one of the next two non-elimination legs in a dirt-poor place. * seems to be very good at convincing a local to guide them around, but I can’t see him actually getting a free cab ride somewhere.
I expect it will do no good whatsoever, but I went and filed a complaint on CBS’ website. In doing so, I quoted to them events from the episode as reported on their website (short quotes from the multipage episode summary):
“A furious Jonathan shoved Victoria, blaming her for their second place finish.”
"Furious, Jonathan ripped his bag from Victoria’s shoulder, screaming, “Why did you pick up my bag? Why?”
"Just before stepping onto the mat in second place, Jonathan continued his attack on Victoria, shoving her and shouting, “How could you do that?” After being checked in by Phil, Victoria walked off the mat crying, to which Jonathan remarked, “She has to live with her choices.”
Given CBS’ own recounting of the events that specifically cites physical contact, I really do wonder at the apparent lack of response.
I didn’t see it there, but I did see it on this page.
Think about this: the preview for the next episode showed * and Victim crawling about on a rather large CANNON. Can anyone here think of any reason why either of these psychos would be allowed anywhere near a weapon of that variety for any reason other than to do themselves in?
you don’t suppose this dickhead’s antics is what delayed the premere of this season of TAR do you? CBS trying to decide what they should and shouldn’t show after Janet Jackson and the Tittygate scandal.
It was too bad to see Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru go.
Seriously, they thought they were going to make up for being slow by being clever. They were the most discombobulated couple I’ve ever seen.
Never seen a guy behave like Jonathan in real life or on TV. Perhaps there’s a way something good can come of it.
