This thread title may seem as if it was meant to apply to the Twinnies, but it's actually fairly generic -- at least in the sense that it can go for the majority of those currently left on the course, Stop talking. Stop screaming. Stop verbally backstabbing everything around you just for the fun of it, because it's not amusing, comedic, or doing anything other than wasting episode time. Just stop. 'Breathing' can be added to that at your option.

Put it this way: when Brendon & Rachel are at the top half of the pack for reasonably silent sanity, something has gone wrong.

But this week, it's all about the Twinnies, also known as The Stereo System From Hades. Because surely blowing a fifty-fifty (at best) coin flip is deserving of a fifteen-minute screamfest lecture echoing across 360 degrees of China. It's the Amazing Air Raid Siren: incoming! Or in this case, outgoing. Until they too get brought back for their third attempt.

...okay, so it's not all about the Twinnies. We can also throw in a few early strips of duct tape for the Afghanimals (it didn't work the first time), John (who still doesn't need a million dollars, a working brain, or anyone who will work with him -- but does truly need a new hairstylist), the Globetrotters (who wouldn't know what to do with a working brain), Team YouTube (the most flaming thing in all of China!), and then there's --

-- I'm tired.

And my ears hurt.

A lot.

My ears were bracing for the assault that would have occurred had the twins gotten on a second car without a clue. What a relief to know they are gone.

Tribe!

Makes you appreciate Luke a little more, eh?

I am praying that the Cowboys give their extra express pass to John and Jessica - I want to see what he'll do this time around to choke on the pressure of having it in his possession.

As I said over on the slaps & claps thread, there is no way anybody but Mark & Mallory or the country singers are getting that pass.

Why are John & Jessica here? To be honest, until I saw the show last night, I remembered Jessica with blond hair. That's how little impression that team made the first time around.

I thought the same about J and J. I guess they wanted to give them a chance at redemption after the colossal screw up - it seems that most of the teams are there because they had some kind of bad fate happening to them and this is their shots at redemption.

The express pass not being used, the ruptured achilles, Mark's umpteen tries at a dance in the heat and Bopper's pleading that he quit before he gets a heart attack, Luke's mistakes costing him the game (especially in the first go-around), and so on. There's **NO** redemption for bringing back the Twinnies, tho.

But yeah, something about John - his mannerisms and his teeth just really bug me. Shoo. Go away.

It's the whole bug-eyed, teeth baring look that's so creepy. Now with a 1979 Christopher Atkins hairstyle. <shudder>
