Buckle up - you may be able to at least postpone it for a bit.

I refuse to watch any of ESPN's original dramatic programming because of the number of commercials they shove down my throat. Hopefully the amount of air time they waste pushing it cancels out any profits they receive from advertisers when they show it.

All I wanna do is race, daddy.

Oh, and 2.

I have not watched it. Is it supposed to be reality-based or fictional? I can't get excited over Vegas shows ever since that horrible Casino mock-reality show (on Fox I believe).

The show "Vegas" actually isn't half-bad.

I have encountered similar confusion at work over the use of "TITS!" in email. You'd think people could figure it out.

Do you also insert something cool like a real life pair of TITS!!???? I did this until I was informed this was not office appropriate.

Speaking of races, is there a single pair of people on TAR that is remotely worth rooting for to win? I was really hoping that last night's race would introduce a new twist: the double elimination, where the last two couples to arrive would be eliminated. As it was, at least Jonathan, and his equally detestable wife are gone, so they can yell at each other in the comfort of their own homes. Does anyone have the feeling the winner will be determined by the couple not stupid enough to get on the plane to San Jose, Costa Rica, but the correct one to San Jose, California?

Arissa is straight. She dated Elton (Eldon? I'm blanking here) or whatever that dude from RW Las Vegas was named. Ok, maybe she was merely his beard. Coral is straight but ugly. How weird was the Coral-Abe hook-up thing? Considering they both at some point have made a huge stink about dating outside their respective races.

Actually, IRULAN dated ALTON. Arissa is straight and was dating DARIO from back home but ultimately broke up with him because he knocked up some other girl.

Ayanna I think had some fling with a man on a previous challenge.

Look for the money quote: "Erica Rogers, opinion page editor at the Daily Nebraskan, said Derek's brains and intensity would be missed." I'm sure no one will miss them quite as much as Derek Kieper.

I blame the Clintons.

The show will go downhill from here. There is one team worth rooting for and everyone else is kind of just there.

I was hoping Johnathan and his wife would win. I despise them so much that it just won't be the same without them. And I am now convinced that the two deserve each other and am not so sure about the physical abuse.

Let's think about this. Johnathan can't carry anything, whines like a little bitch and does what he's told when she really gets mad. He always picks the easiest things to do, if anything takes physical effort, she has to do it and he takes responsibility for nothing. I don't think he's capable of knocking her around and I now believe that the editors cut out all the times when her annoying, grating, shrill voice pierced everyone's ears within a 3 mile radius of her and made it seem like he was completely controlling her.

She is an overly-dramatic, whiny, super emotional pain in the ass. She screamed like her leg had been amputated when she cut her finger. Jesus Christ.

I guess the only team left to hate is the team with Kendra on it, who found that 3rd world countries might actually be good for something...or at least provide you with some dirty, over-breeding, ghetto inhabitants to carry your bags for the rest of the day when you can't breathe for 26 seconds. I hope the race ends in Compton.

And whatever happened to her boyfriend (who is the clumsiest person in the show's history) breaking someone in half? Is he still trying to get to the bottom of it?

I forgot about those two idiots in the relationship that isn't working. He is beyond pathetic. Anyone who asks for his mommy before doing anything with the smallest bit of risk probably isn't worth dating. And she acts like he's this tremendous pain in the ass, but she manipulates him like a pro. When he yelled at her for giving out information to another team (which was pretty fucking stupid at this point in the game), she reigned him back in with the quickness with all the crying, and the "I can't do this anymore," etc. Next week, she'll be back to barking orders and he'll be back to taking it and moaning. She likes him the way she is. She's kidding herself if she thinks she wants out.

After seeing his clumsiness, I'm convinced he dropped the gate on Hera (or whomever). Plus, he needs to lose the do'rag and Clark Kent glasses.

I am not a big reality tv fan, but yesterday I was "working from home" and so watched something called "Fat Celebrities Club" or something like that, and some show with Brigitte Nielsen and Flava Flav. I would not recommend either, but both were kind of fun in a car-wreck way. Brigitte Nielsen has aged very badly.

Stop trying to oppress us with your jack-booted, nanny-state, bleeding-heart unfunded mandates. And let me give you a little tip - you're the one headed for the fiery pit, Mr. Secular Humanist Fashion Guy.

I watched a bit of this (Amazing Race) last night. Every single one of these people is repulsive, and their little jaunts through the Third World are doing more harm to America's image abroad than the invasion of Iraq. I hope every Ethiopian I saw last night got a fat check from the producers for having to put up with their shit.

Oh, and do you think when the race comes to New York they'll stand a line of "worshippers" around St. Patrick's Cathedral so these dumbasses can mutter curses while they try to match the crucifixes? Good god almighty.

I thought car-related stuff was an automatic Ted Kennedy, but then again I'm not on the circulation list for the memos you get.
