And…it’s Monday
Well, WVU and the Skins pulled out wins this weekend. The Steelers and my son’s lacrosse team? Not so lucky. Ah well, this is why we have a whole season and not just one game, right? Sigh.
And then I forgot the games were running long and didn’t set up my TiFaux accordingly, so got all but the crucial last ten minutes of Amazing Race. Dangit! I did manage to find out who was booted, (bye Team CHEER!) Wish it had been Kimberly and Rob) but it was a really good episode, with great tasks, and unpredictable outcomes. I hated missing any of it.
In other news, glad the Boyfriends admitted to the bonding and made friends, the cheering/line dancing was a hoot. Yay, Beauty Queens for hanging in there and proving to be a lovely team in more than just outward appearance. Love them. Also, yay, Lauren and Dad, well done. Enjoyed Team Kentucky even if Mary’s voice grates my last nerve. Not the accent, I like that, but the screechy kind of tone. Ack. Still, I love her reaction to Team BoyFriends and the Cho Bros. Speaking of which, Team *win did a pretty good job tonight, at least for what I saw. I enjoyed them.
Team Models! bugged a little, for no particular reason. They just do. Team Single Moms? Careful, because Karma? She’s not always nice. Oh yeah, you got that when your car didn’t start at the end, there. Well, don’t forget it! I want to like you guys, but you’re making it tough on me. Rob and Kimberly…you’re so Stock Fighting Couple. At least do something original with it. Yawn. And you call your girlfriend by the loving nickname “dude?” Really, dude? Really? And btw, the thing to do when your girlfriend has just been clotheslined off her horse is to GET DOWN AND HELP HER. Sheesh.
But my main ire is reserved for Peter and Sarah. Yes, even Sarah. (What was UP with the sideshow on the steps? Yikes. Cute for about a minute in a show-the-locals kinda way, then devolved into something sideshow creepy. You two are just weird.) Something about the way she manages Peter, or tries to, annoys me. She’s got a little attitude herself, but then it’s hard to blame her, around that. Because mostly, it’s Peter who bugs the living tar out of me. He rankles in about every way you can rankle. Although (Rob? Pay attention.) at least he’s original in his vile-dom. His over-the-top Cheer! attitude is a new one. (And his comment in the car after the ox incident? “My, that was some meltdown back there…” Like he was going to be all “Let’s analyze and discuss.” Yeah, I’d have clubbed him over the head with something. Preferably something heavy. Like the Jeep. But Sarah? No, she just lamely AGREES with him. Double yikes.)
So, if I missed anything in the last fifteen minutes that would have utterly changed any of the above views (and goodness knows, anything is possible in this game) please share. No previews for me, either. I’m so bereft I tell you.
Let’s talk SHaQ Attack instead then. I promised an easy week and it can’t get much easier than this. Send an email to donna@donnakauffman.com with My Favorite Book is… in the subject line, and, in your email, tell me which book of mine was your fave. The book with the most votes will win one of its voters another book of his or her choice from my bookshelf. One vote per reader. (Sorry, you have to narrow it down to one. 
) I’ll draw a name from the winning voters and announce on Friday.
Happy Monday everyone!
So, someone emailed me and told me Sarah actually bought a partial clue near the end of the show and in a private camera interview, said she was starting to notice things about Peter she didn’t like so much. My feelings about Sarah could be improving, if this is the case. He talks to her like a coach, not a lover, or, far worse, like he’s talking to his trained animal. It’s just so creepy and nothing about it is couple-supporter-ish, if you know what I mean.
I was also surprised at the number of comments I got in emails last week that they thought Peter might be gay. Hmm. I watched for that this week, but I have like no gaydar at all. I’d have thought it of the models before Peter. (They called each other babe this week. Hmmm…)
I think it’s just because he doesn’t seem to have any real affection for her, not in the way a man loves the woman in his life. It’s more like “gee, everyone, look what she can do, isn’t it amazing?” His whole thing seems to be her disability, he doesn’t seem all that into her as a woman. At all. Cree-py.
Sorry about your Steelers. Ok not really. I so wanted the Bengals to win.
Anyway. I just watched the show. I am really starting to like the dad and daughter. THey seem very supportive of each other. Rob and Kimberly aka Dude got on my nerves. Team Mom needs to chill a bit there or there won’t be any more angels to help them.
I agree on Peter and Sarah its a very strange relationship, not very healthy in my opinion.
I admit that I yelled at the TV when Rob just sat on his horse after Kimberly was clotheslined. HELLO!!! In her little “interview” she said that they were talking about taking their relationship to the next step. I’d be thinking about dumping his sorry butt.
My favorite team right now are the Beauty Queens. I just liked their attitude on this leg of the race (and the first episode I caught… still smarts that I missed it last week).
I also like that the race seems to be going against the grain this year and going around the world backwards. Had they gone to Asia first before?
yeah poor steelers.
fast cash
great blog, keep it comming.
