Brooke the wrestler is getting on my last nerve. She’s always just so sure that they’re doomed. Did the racers know what the car economy goal was? I didn’t see anybody reacting when they went over .10 gallon. ---

> [@Laggard](#): > > Yes, especially considering they were the team last week who didn’t know what a quarry was. I still think they were listening with an American accent. I am giving them a pass. I remember working with a guy who had a heavy Scottish accent. I would ask him to repeat what he said and he would get frustrated and crying out “We invented the language” Of course I told “Yes that is true, but we perfected it” ---

-Robbie was cracking me up. -I was surprised at how few people even had an accent- I think all of the diners in Ina’s were American, and people the racers spoke to on the street hardly had an accent at all. -I can’t believe the surfers chose the cake/biking task at first, although maybe the description they’re given wasn’t enough to know how challenging it would be. -Happy to see Mr. Confidence knocked down a few pegs. -I’m liking the bike messengers. They might be my favorite team. ---

I laughed so much at the customer at Ina Davidsen’s who told the server that her order was wrong, and then told her no, she was just messing with her. That was just wrong, but perfect.
