Yeah, Jacob and Leah, definitely . I would get rid of the whole "Nessie" thing- I think the rest of your ideas sound good to me. SMeyer would have kept a much larger chunk of her fan-base if would of wrote BD like that.

I'd probably also have to be the first contestant in the history of the show to bring her hyperventilating cocker spaniel along on every leg of the race. I'm sure customs would have a problem with that, but CBS could probably pull a few strings. Maybe I could argue she was a guide dog, and I could always blame the peeing in the taxi on her. :)

You can always comment on a sponsored post. I always try to work the sponsor stuff into a story so it's not the main point of the post. It's just a side point. In this case, it just happened to coincide with me getting wound up over the AR last night, and the two topics worked together.

As for the AR, that is exactly what I said last night. On an earlier episode, Mica was afraid of the water. I would think, given what I have seen in past seasons, that the contestants would have had to pass a swimming test in order to even get on the show. Ditto on the fear of heights thing. I'm not saying never let anyone on who is afraid, but even if just for the show's own insurance liability, I would think that they would make the applicants at some point do something like meet their handler on top of a skyscraper, prove they can swim, list all known food allergies, etc. I mean it's like going on Survivor and suddenly realizing that you'll have to eat bull's balls at one point or going on Big Brother and having an innate fear of unitards. Some things just go hand and hand. He should have just sat behind Mica and gone down with her or slipped her a knock out drug in her milk like the A-team used to do Mister T.

I guess they choose the way they do for ratings' sake, however. If everyone just did what they were supposed to, bouncing from challenge to challenge, it would be rather boring. Still, sometimes you just want to reach your hands through your screen and just shake a few of them.

Having just said that, I just realized that, for a million dollars and not to look dumb on TV, I'd probably just pee in my pants in the taxi ride on the way to the pit stop instead of getting eliminated for using a port-a-potty. I wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, LOL.

What's funny is that this season my interests haven't really latched onto one couple that I want to win. Mostly I just want one couple not to (that poker couple irritates the mess out of me). After they get eliminated, it's anyone's game as far as I'm concerned.

I realize this is a sponsored post...but I just wanted to say that last night when I was watching Amazing Race I became enraged at that woman for not going down the slide. I mean come on!! It's a million bucks. I'm scared of heights too but I would have thrown myself down that thing in two seconds flat. Every season they seem to pick people that refuse (or almost refuse) to do the challenges. These people know going in that they're going to have to do a challenge with heights, or gross food, or something scary.
