That was completely the fault of the racers in the buses they picked. Ernie and Cindy took an express bus which is why they got there before the 4:30 bus. If Laurence and Zac hadn't switched buses they would have benefited from this also. So the gaps not being maintained was because of gamesmanship, granted I don't…

This season is really reminding me of the horrible family season. We have a combination of really tame tasks and short distances between legs. I have to think the idea to use the buses was just, for a change, to separate the teams up because of the lack of flights out of their starting point. How long have we been in…

It depends on the cast. If the cast has a lot of people that I'm rooting for, or in some cases against, I like the suspense. I like rooting for whether a team I like is going finish first or if a team I dislike is going going eliminated. On a season like this the suspense isn't that important because I'm not really…

I'll be interested in seeing the difference in departure times between the first two teams and the rest of the pack next week. It's really the only way to tell how teams really did in the previous leg.

The last leg I can even think of that started at night was the cowboys season in Germany with the two different team members bungee jumping. Maybe the Globetrotters season with the Kafka roadblock?

I think this is probably the first season of TAR that I haven't had a season crush. I'm having to settle for a bromance with the snowboarders.

I did notice the hair flip but I actually just found their version of "Only Girl In The World" to be the most bizarre thing in the world. The constant switching between what they would do for a girl and what the girl would do for them just made it feel terribly disjointed.

For people who didn't hear the news, CW made a deal with Netflix so the first two seasons of The Vampire Diaries is now on Netflix Instant,

Think it's too Oedipal for The Vampire Diaries. I assume with the show's love of showing how stories repeat throughout time, I think the original Petrova was a girl that Klaus and Elijah both had feelings for.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Walternate suppose to have saved his Peter but the interference of September resulted in him missing the cure, which ultimately led to Walter crossing over and ultimately needing September to save Peter from drowning? I don't think this universe is what is suppose to have happened, I…

I feel like Cassie's grandmother is on the way to being a running joke. She appeared in the first episode and has seemingly disappeared since then. For all the wrong reasons I would love for her to never appear on screen again and only be referenced.

But probably counterbalanced by Damon and Katherine road tripping.

Klaus' mom had an affair with a werewolf and in turn sired Klaus. In response Klaus' father had the werewolf and his whole family killed. I don't think it's been outright stated that the Klaus' mom and stepfather were vampires and generally speaking, outside of Angel and Twilight, vampires don't reproduce.

While The Voice was far from a perfect show at least it involved tuning in every week to watch people actually sing songs. As a person that doesn't care about the human interest part of the show, the episodes just drag. Thanks for the warning that next week probably won't be any better.

You apparently liked the episode more than me but I do think it was a strong step forward. I do feel like they keep putting the witches in situations where they're completely helpless when you know…they're witches. I know they're powerless when they're alone but Cassie and Faye were together for at least part of the…

I kinda feel like each episode of the show is "one more episode closer to the show actually starting." And I got quickly tired of all the people crying and falling to their knees when they made the final 32. It's like there is nothing to be taken from the preview showing people crying because EVERYONE is going cry…

I think it's kinda the norm when it comes to young adult series directed toward females being adapted to television series. I remember having pretty much the same reaction when I read the Wikipedia summaries for the Gossip Girl novels.

As far as I can remember it hasn't been stated that mom and Klaus' stepfather are in coffins. It hasn't even been stated whether they were vampires or not. It's very much tied up in how little we actually know about the origins of vampires. And by little I seemingly mean nothing.

The other coffins are Klaus' other brothers and sisters.

I might be still reading into things as a Supernatural fan but it seems like the show is establishing that vampires when they die don't actually "pass on." From the sound of it they wander the Earth alone, kinda crappy. Is it bad that I'd totally root for a ghost Anna over a living Bonnie?
