“If I were a buoy, where would I be?” Uttered upon arrival at a “Detour” task by one, now eliminated, teammate.

“It’s so cold my implants are frozen!” I think the Hollywood chicky said this. And yes, I was surprised she said that on national television.

“I’d rather put that in a martini.” Endearingly said after Grandpa of the grandma/grandpa team climbed an ice wall with pick axes and ice shoes.

Though I’m glad the father/daugher combo stayed in the race, I was sad to see the guys from Brooklyn eliminated on the first leg. They were funny and kinda sweet—and goodness knows funniness and sweetness is needed in this game because we’re stuck with the asinine behaviors of Jonathan (how Victoria remains married to him, I do not know) and Lori the Professional Wrestler. Sigh. Boo hiss to Rebecca’s lack of knowledge of T.A.R. history—you ALWAYS check to see if your car takes diesel or regular gasoline! Hello?! She and Hellboy are lucky to still be in the game. And whichever guy that was that waved the college roommates in the wrong direction (some of the guys look alike at this stage in the race), you’re a jerk who should’ve kept his hand in the car… Poor college roommate girls. Thumbs up to the grandparents who climbed the ice wall and kept up with their competition and a bigger thumbs up to all the teams who maintained positive outlooks and enjoyed the natural beauty all around while still racing. I think T.A.R. teaches a lot of “life lessons”. But that’s another post for another day.
