Eh, Cindy displayed some Ugly American attitude in this leg.  And apparently she and Ernie were so upset by the Dudez passing them to the mat that the preview hinted they may be U-Turning them next week to finally finish first, dammit!

Yeah, I know.  Somewhat reasonable TV show discussion is just CRAZY of me to expect!

I never said that Arrested Development was pretentious; I was referring to Onanymous's post.  And thanks for the brilliant five-cent psychoanalysis. Because fan attitudes never turned anyone off of a TV show, ever!

Hear hear. I don't know why there have to be comparisons of the shows every. Single. Week. They're both fun!

Laurence dug his hole even deeper this week with his chauvinistic comments about sewing.  Free Zac!

Pretentious, much?  I enjoy Community and watch it regularly, but this sort of superior fan attitude is what turned me off of Arrested Development.  Both shows can be just as enjoyable and fun.

Biggest laugh of the episode was Malik dressed up as Reverend Run.

I also thought this was a poorly-designed leg.  I didn't like how the lengthy bus trip was so late in the leg that the arrival times played a huge role in the teams' finishing positions.

Agreed.  I think that would be a welcome change to the current show dynamic.

I think Phil was the early breakout character when the show first started, but Cam really came on strong through the back half of season 1 and up to Eric Stonestreet's Emmy win.  While Cam has been rather one-note and dialed up the diva attitude, Phil has remained quietly awesome.

I knew I recognized that massive forehead!

I love it when Adam dances.  It's nice that Peter Krause can bust out his goofy dance moves and faces on this show to balance out the dramatic, serious moments.

I hope an episode with a subplot taking place at Howdy's is coming very soon.  I miss Barney and Frank.

My instant reaction to both episodes was "meh."  Some funny moments, but not a hugely promising start to the season, although I am curious about why the writers have chosen to bring Victoria back.  I thought the second episode was a little bit stronger.  And I agree about the dancing scene, which was definitely not…

Based on his incredibly douchey season-long behavior, even though they were in an "alliance" together, I don't think that George threw that challenge to let Chris go to the finale with Brian.  I think he got cocky and overconfident and ended up overthinking what should have been an incredibly easy shot, and then made…

Bret Harrison always seems like he's on the verge of being immensely popular.  First his silly guest stint on The OC, then Reaper, and then his guest appearance on V.  I'd rather see more of him than Tyler Labine any day.

Also? James Tolkan played slacker-obsessed Mr. Strickland in the Back to the Future movies. No connection to Hutton there, but still awesome.

I am also surprised to learn that Ross McCall is of British/Scottish decent. I too found his accent to be all over the place.

I hope he bites it next week and was annoyed that he (predictably) got away again. I can't stand him, his weaselly face or his annoying Ed Burns-esque whiny voice. Why on this show did we get Tim Matheson for only one episode but are saddled with Ross McCall for three and possibly more?

ADemonsTwistRusts: I think the murder you're referring to is in this season's fourth episode.
