Me, me, me

And speaking of The Amazing Race...what an exciting episode this week! The footrace at the end was so great, especially because Ray and Deanna lost. If I had to watch that psychopathic hyper-competitive so-and-so and his bandanas for one more week... Does anyone else think there's some male-pattern baldness behind ol' Ray's stupid bluster (and underneath his bandanas?)

Now, if we can only be rid of Meredith and Gretchen...Actually, Meredith is fine -- Gretchen has got to go. Every episode I say to D, "Can you imagine her as your mother?" Unlike the old couple on the last TAR series, these two have nothing going for them. Push them both down a cave-hole and then send them home, please.

There's really noone particularly interesting in this series, and only Uchenna and Joyce who I'd like see as the winners. Counting on Boston Rob and Amber for interest may have been a mistake, tho' they do add some much-needed zest to the proceedings, and it's funny to see people recognize them everywhere they go. I just can't shake the feeling that the producer said to Rob, "Okay now, be scheming and nasty, cuz we got nothing else happening this time" and that he is just playing a part that has been set out for him.

But it's still the best thing on TV, apart from "Now" on PBS (Fridays at 9).
