Watching TAR with Wannietta - part 12.5

Will Jen get her turn at 1^st place? I can't wait to find out!

From Ouagadougou to Lithuania - not your top 10 itinerary I'm sure.
I'm all for pro-active inclinations in racers, but I'm pretty sure that they were told to book their tickets through an official/authorized airport ticket agent.
Ya snooze ya lose Nick!!
Now I've forgotten who they have to book the ticket through - some team(s) may have some problems.
FFS - Kristina should step back and let Ronald handle this all on his own. Then remind him mercilessly about it when it bites them in the ass.
Sure Nick - that works. The nice lady will screw everyone else on your say so.
Karma's a mean bitch Nick.
She's not stupid Nick, you just didn't give her any reason to be quick on your behalf.
It's not like everyone isn't going to see where you're sitting when they GET ON THE PLANE!!

TAR cars, check ins and stuff are always marked.
It's happening because Jennifer isn't even looking at the map - she's just saying random directions.
Ronald was respectful and acknowledged Kristina in a positive way!
OMG - don't let Ronald do this task!!!
Thank God for an alert driver!
If they know that Ronald is the bad listener of the team how did he end up doing this task?
I'm predicting not wedding bells in Nate & Jen's future.
"Don't give me pressure!" That's the pot calling the kettle black!
Ronald did pretty good & Jen really rocked that Roadblock!
It would seem that Nick just isn't the charmer that he imagines himself to be.

Alright Kynt & Vyxsin!!
"Easier to care for than a chicken." But more fragile I'm sure.
I'd go with the stilts.
As long as you're pretty sure Nick.
I think that I'd be holding the stilts in an overhand grip with my hands higher on the bars.
Maybe the bare feet on the wood is not such a good idea Ron. I'm sure you know what you're doing - just saying is all.
C'mon Goths - you can do it!!!
or not
I'm happy for TK & Rachel - they're a nice team.
# 2 is not too shabby at all.
I think that telling the party people to leave you alone will probably only have the opposite effect.

I almost feel sorry for Ronald - he looks like something that the cat dragged in.
Kristina sure does love her dad - she's truly an inspiration (and a candidate for sainthood).
If a team is only as strong as their weakest link, who's the weak link - Shana or Jennifer?
By the skin of their teeth, Nick & Donald are still in it.
There are no non-elimination legs!
Can't say that I'm sorry to see them go.

Is he her brother or her daddy?
It's a thin line between love & hate.

There are no words ...

I'm Going International!!!

I've been invited to attend the 2008 Knit-Out & Crochet to represent Canada in a fastest knitter competition. What are you doing that weekend Cynthia? I am so totally excited!
I really hope that Miriam Tegels can come - I would LOVE to meet her!!

in·vite (n-vt)tr.v. in·vit·ed, in·vit·ing, in·vites

1. To ask for the presence or participation of: invite friends to dinner; invite writers to a conference.

Incredibly enough the CYCA isn't subsidizing any portion of my travel or accommodations so, who wants to be a part of Team Wannietta? I'm totally cool with wearing your badges (like a race car driver). I'm going to check with Kerwyn - he should have loads of air miles that he would love to let me use, but I'm open to all offers and contributions.

ETA: Does that make me Miss Canada? I wonder if I can have a sash?

Watching TAR with Wannietta - part 12.4

B-I-N-G-O ...

Azaria maybe hasn't heard this little saying - Confident, cocky, careless, dead.
Keep the chicken with you - does it have to arrive alive? Is this like the "baby egg" in high school?
Good idea TK - psych yourselves out. I mean, there's nothing on the line, no pressure. You'll forget all about the million and race for fun so that there's no pressure.
Good thing that Christina is going to continue to be patient 'cause I think that we'd all die holding our breath waiting for Ronald to change.
Hey - don't laugh!! Flapping chicken wings can hurt.
Donald you gotta be careful man! You can fling a turkey around by the neck, chickens are a bit more fragile.
Let's not name what could potentially be dinner.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
I think that I'd have to shake the pan - I'm extremely white where rhythm is required.
That's one crazy-assed chicken dance.
Nate is just stompin' - he wasn't dancing at all!!
That's awesome - WTG sibs!!!
Don't beat up on yourself Jen - Nate is holding you back a bit.
Does rump shakin' get you a thumbs up?
Way to rush the old guy Nick & then not even be sure that you're rushing in the right direction!
OMG - Kynt & Vyxsin are like nothing that Africa has seen before! But they rocked (or would it be gothed?) it out!!
Woulda, coulda, shoulda TK but you didn't want to get your feet all wet & dirty I guess.
Sexy & blonde - use it if you've got it.
Who are you 2 trying to convince? You're doing it because you want to not because "It's a game, they'll understand. They'd do it to us."

Oops. You made a mistake - I'm sure that Jason & Lorena will totally understand!
Karma is a bitch with a very long memory!
Awwww - poor baby goats!
American Idol ... in Africa - you're hilarious Jason!!!
Aw c'mon Jen - work that blondeness a bit.
Again with the "MAY be eliminated"!! is up with that?!?
And again with Ronald knowing how to do the task that he chose not to do.
You're a team Jennifer; you couldn't talk Shana out of u-turning Jason & Lorena so .
I am so hoping that Jennifer totally screws up this roadblock and Jason & Lorena beat them!!

I like how Lorena has pulled herself together after the last (disastrous) leg.
Hey Vyxsin - what like African child could not love your pink hair?
YES!!! I don't care how many times the sibs have won 1st I am thrilled to see them beat Jen & Nate!
AWWWW!! Poor Jen - it's not fair! Everyone should have a turn to come in 1st. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF RACE?!?!
Funny how that is - other countries speaking other languages that you don't understand. And that makes it hard for you!!!

Crap - maybe Jen & Shana will get lost on the way back to the pit stop.
Poor Rachel - at least she didn't totally panic.
Kynt & Vyxsin are really growing on me as a team.
I really hate to see Jason & Lorena go out like this - I hope that there is a saving twist. They would have been right in the thick of it without that u-turn!
So why does Phil keep saying "MAY" be eliminated? It was stated at the beginning of the race that there would be no non-elimination legs. Am I the only one confounded/irritated by this?
People stay married because they want to too - otherwise they get one of those new-fangled divorces Jason!

That was one of the best legs yet - I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to see the blondes get theirs. And Nate & Jen will be hot on the heels of the sibs.
And while I'm sure that I don't want Ronald to actually be hurt, it's kind of satisfying to see him not know how to do something.
Okay - when I said "get theirs" I really didn't mean "get hit by a bus".

But who am I to question the will of God?

Interesting, According to Starbucks

According to Starbucks, I should be a whole lot of interesting! But really, if knitting is my comfort zone, am I still interesting by doing it more? I guess I could always add boxing to my schedule.
