1) the unctuous schmoopie factor when
2) Hayden isn not in a chinless, co-depedency rage and
3) the fact that they are actors living in LA but are too ugly to get the standard roles and too bland to get the character roles.

Kris and John are Schmoopie lites and kendra and freddy dont do it to the point of it being irksome. I always forget about the existence of Adam and Rebecca for some reason which means they don't annoy me. Go Bolo and Lori. I don't think they will win bc they chose the wrong detour last night for their strengths which is their strength but then they arent racing any brain surgeons so who knows.

Oh, right. A hill with a traffic light in the middle of it. Yeah. If I can find one with a dead-end that will require a 3-point turn, even better.

And the driver behind can suck it for not being smart enough to keep some distance.

s'ok. when we go on TAR, I'll drive the stick.

(sounds naughty)

I trust that next time you are in town you will volunteer your instruction skills and your car.

If you are ever in Fugeeville, I will teach you on the Fugeemobile. I too am somewhat uncoordinated but a high school BF managed to teach me. Then you can take me shopping and help me find molto stylish clothes.

May I use this? I will gladly credit you when doing so.

My husband thinks he's all that (I can't get away with that can I?) when it comes to parallel parking, but he's got nothing -- NOTHING, I tell you -- on me. In fact, when I'm driving home and I park at the fire hydrant in front of our building (only for the purposes of unloading, of course), it's two turns, and I'm in. The doorman marvels at my skills -- but always out of earshot of my mean, macho husband...

who can't parallel park for SHIT!

Backing up and coming back at a little different angle is okay there.

...No, no, no, my marriage is strong, in fact I'm going to have to start monitoring the LWK board soon.

Ta-daaa.

stratu.

I believe the proper phrase to be uttered when making such an announcement is actually:

Klaatu Barada Niktu

Ok, I'm trying not to freak out and be a total bitch here, but it doesn't really prevent spoiling when the first person to talk about the show uses spoiler color, and then all the posts after that talk about all the people who are still left in the game. B/c I'm not completely feeble-minded, I have now figured out (without reading any info posted in spoiler color) who got booted from last night's show. Not cool.

Does somebody want to go ahead and post about all the people who "moved on" last night on AI so I don't have to bother watching that show either? That'll clean a couple hours off the tivo so I can watch "Lost" using the best definition.

I think that half the board collaborated on the spoil and I did not contribute to who lost but I apologize for the detour thing and any other spoilage I might have contributed. That said, the schmoopage has been going on a long time now as have the rages and their ugliness and blandness.

I haven't watched it yet either and I was sort of wondering if people were treading a line. The first couple of posts after the white text, I skipped the text for fear of spoilers. But honestly I'll watch even if I know who was eliminated (I don't yet). I'm easy that way.

People don't like me for my hot car. And I am usually too drunk to drive anyway. I am a fantastic passenger, however, and I am very hospitable to those who give me rides home, if you know what I mean.

I couldn't understand why Lori and Bolo didn't do the more strength-oriented detour last night.

Hayden hate is because she is so feckless. Forget learning stick shift, who would sign up to be on TAR without learning to read maps? She can neither drive nor read maps.

Kendra continues to amaze me with the stupid things that come out of her mouth. Last night she said something about Ethiopia to the effect that it was a different kind of poverty because it looked like they chose to live that way. Good thing TAR didn't send them through Eritrea and I too hope the show made a sizeable payment to the people who had to deal with their racers.

ETA: Sorry barely, for my contribution to your anguish. Watch it anyway even if you think you know who got booted. There is much hilarity on the way to the pit stop. And you can see the most interestingly-constructed church I've seen.

And last night's AI was less about who made it through than the ghastly people who didn't and people's life stories.
