Wait, so now on a non-elimination leg on TAR, if you come in last, you not only lose all your money and don't get any for the next leg, but they ALSO take away everything but your passport and the clothes on your back? I know I'm new to the show, but I've been reading the recaps at TWoP, and I know THAT'S new. It's also bullshit. Introducing the no-money issue doesn't really seem to have added anything to the show, so instead of getting rid of it, they've made it more severe? What crap.

And to do it to Meredith and Gretchen after she took that fall and was so cool about it. Not the show's fault, but shitty timing anyway.

Off to watch the second half.

OMG Brian and Greg got in an accident and were way behind AND STILL DID NOT GET PHILIMINATED YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.

Even better, they beat Ray and Deana in a footrace to the pit stop! AND RAY AND DEANA GOT PHILIMINATED! After they had to watch Meredith and Gretchen finish the Detour before them! Which, I don't care about that so much for Deana, but how satisfying to Ray to get bested by the "oldsters" after all that shit he said last week. Which, in retrospect, is obviously exactly what the editors were going for. Oh, those crafty editors.

My ideal Final Three: Rob/Amber, Uchenna/Joyce, and Brian/Greg. And of course I'm still pulling for Rob and Amber, but if one of those other two teams wins instead, I'll be satisfied.

I was so bummed when I thought Brian and Greg were out of it because of their accident, and ecstatic when they got to the mat. I mean, like, screaming ecstatic. I love them. Even if I can't tell them apart.

On the subject of Rob and Amber not stopping when they saw the Brian and Greg's car: Meh. It's not what I would have done, but Rob was correct when he pointed out that it's a race. Also, Lynn and Alex were already there. What, exactly, could Rob and Amber have provided that Lynn and Alex couldn't? I'm not entirely crazy about their decision to not at least take five seconds to pull over and check (which the other teams did do), but that cutthroat strategy worked on Survivor, and it's doing pretty well for them here too, as they ended up coming in second on this leg. Although I did like how, when Phil was all, "So you guys didn't stop?" he was smiling like he wanted to kick them in the teeth. That was funny.
