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."

"I am Sleepless in Seattle" |
I live in Seattle, and I could not sleep last night. I could not get over the fact that Flo was one half of a winning team. As many others have already posted there is no justice when that pathetic ##### wins by doing nothing but whine, complain, cry, and carry on like a two year old. Ken and Gerard lost by virtue of having to wait longer for a cab at the Seattle Center. However, they actually made the best move to find a cab. The International Fountain is inside the grounds of the Seattle Center. Anyone would have to go outside the Center to hail a cab. Some exits out would be better than others in looking for a cab. However, there is nothing inside the grounds that would give anyone a clue as to which direction might be better. The teams arrived in Seattle a little before 9:00am, they would have been at the Center by 10:00am. This is not an area where cabs are likely to cruise at that time of day. I would have gone to the Space Needle too, which is just what the O'Brothers did. They had bad luck in having to wait longer than the other teams for their cab. We have such horrible traffic here that at any other time of day there would or could have been enough of a traffic jam along the routes to and from the various parks that could easily have changed the outcome. The producers had this set up in their placements, and permitting the teams to go by cab, to last about two hours from arrival in Seattle to the finish line. A better finish in Seattle would have required the teams to go from the airport by bus to downtown seattle and find their way on foot to a destination at the Pike Place Market. They could have picked either slow, express, or a direct airport bus....any one of which would have altered the time and path of the teams, and would have made for some exciting racing. The market is on multiple floors in several buildings, and presents a confusing pattern that locals cannot master. Leaving the market there is a waterfront park that stretches out for several miles that would have been a great venue for the finishing sprint from the Market to the Park. This would not have involved taxi's, but would have required real travel smarts....It is too bad the producers were not more creative. I also have to comment on the behavior of Flo. I invite some folks with medical training to weigh in on my theory.....I believe Flo has a serious mental and/or medical problem. I am not joking. I have never observed anyone that could go from such highs to such lows. Usually such people find themselves in prison or in an institution because they are unable to control themselves, and that loss of control results in behavior that runs afoul of the law. When Flo is "up" she is
