PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR Canadian Misconceptions" |
Ok, very nice that they came to Canada again. But once again, why, TAR, why? Lumberjacks? REALLY???So, without futher bitching, a few misconceptions: 1. Log rolling - NOT a Canadian past time. Granted, I'm sure there are lumberjacks out there, but never in my 30 years as a Canadian have I heard of anyone doing it. 2. Curling - Another NOT - this one's a bit different though. People who curl, LOVE to curl. Curling is something that people do acutally do here. But not everyone does it. I did love the Lindz boyz huge curling enthusiasm though, that was great. 3. Air Canada - Air Canada would NEVER take someone into a nice cushy office to help them get a better flight if they didn't have a television camera with them. They are too busy going broke and paying Celine Dion millions of dollars to make music videos with Air Canada planes in the background.
I know there are more. Anyone want to join me?

I don't know...anything north of the Bronx is "upstate". There are no cows in my county, dammit! Pfeh. Upstate indeed.

19. "Flights question?" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-14-05 AT 04:37 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 12-14-05 AT 04:34 PM (EST) Ok...how does a Northwest direct flight, which seemed to take off at the same time as the Air Canada flight (might just ans. my question here - editing), not beat two flights with a layover? Any one know what NW flight # the Bransens flew? Edit: found it (not after second look)...3404 but that MESABA AVIATION JET so that's not it....Edit2: that would be a on a British Aerospace RJ7 Jet so much slower then any Airbus or Boeing Jet.

Well, for my part I thought they depicted Canada quite fairly. Then again...
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day. BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea. MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea. He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day. BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars. MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?! He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day. BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa. MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?! {talking}
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!... {singing}
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day. He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day. 
Sig by me. Wish the rider was me!

Curious - is the girl in the photo Connie Booth? Booth collaberated and starred in Fawlty Towers with Cleese. I think they may have been married as well.

Yes, that's Connie Booth, and yes, she was married to John Cleese.And I'm glad Cygnus already made reference to one of my favorite Christmas carols earlier. I thought it would have been quite appropriate for Bob and Doug McKensie to be at the finish mat. Or maybe it would be more appropriate for them to be at the start of one of the tasks, telling them to "take off, eh". Let's see, what other ridiculous stereotypes can I perpetuate now?

OK - did they not take a little flight from Montreal to a "surprise destination"?? Hmmmm .... let's see - what's a short flight from Montreal and has the CN Tower in the skyline? Did every team not say "I wonder where we are?" AFTER the plane landed? ... and was the father not the only one that said "I think Toronto" (or "Toranto"). Come on my American friends - if you were in England and took a short flight to a surprise destination with the Eiffel Tower would you be saying "I wonder where we are."? (I might be off - I was too busy thanking God it was warn weather and they didn't bring them to Toronto in the snow and have them build and igloo or something).
