Tivo makes me lazy, and I actually didn’t get around to watching until last night. The heck with baby Jesus, Kayte Fogal makes _me_ cry. “Oh, I can’t take another step!” Except for that part where she’s _walking around in a circle_ while she cries. “Don’t mind me, I’ll just lean against this tree and sniffle and hope somebody gives a damn.” The _camera crew_ barely cared, kid. I can’t believe the Southie Boys actually put up with that, even for ten minutes. Although the meaningful _WTF is wrong with her??_ looks they kept giving each other were beautiful. I would personally like to administer an IQ test to the Genii. I don’t understand where they get the right to call themselves that. And poor Sam–Charles and Francis are right. If they don’t return for him, he’ll hate them for_ever_. And I sure as hell wouldn’t blame him. But c’mon–why would you try out for a show like this if you know you can’t run or climb or jump or traverse swamps? You know why I’m not on _Amazing Race_? Because I know I’d _suck_, and I know what _we_ say about these people. At this point, I think I’m rooting for the CIA and the Southies. I’ll give honorable mention to the Miss USA girls for admitting that they didn’t shower and being _proud_ of it. As has been previously stated–_hardcore_. 🙂 ---

So you’re dirty and smelly, you have the opportunity to clean up tonight, but you don’t because you’ll just get dirty and smelly again tomorrow? Hmmmm… not what I look for in a beauty queen. ---

I don’t think they had a chance. They left Boston in the morning, drove to New York, had to fight traffic into Manhattan, find the manhole, go traipsing through the tunnel, out of Manhattan and then 700 miles to South Carolina. I figured everybody drove through the night and got to the plantation the next morning. They do a lot of driving on this show. ---

This show is amazingly lame. Yet. . . I cannot look away! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/treasure-hunters-7-10/363944.md?page=2)
