Run Like Scalded Dogs

Almost every team this year is terrible, so what does it say about us that we're already eliminated

Jeff and Jordan are the first and only ones so far to complete the Horse Sense option, as Dan and Jordan have switched tasks to Horse Power.

Joe and Heidi hit the mat in fourth place and Jeff and Jordan are number five shortly after them.

Back at the Detour, all the remaining teams are attempting Horse Power with varying degrees of success. Dan and Jordan finish on their third attempt, while Brent and Caite ace their first shot at the Detour. For being in the emergency room just a half a day earlier, they are having a strong showing this leg.

Sadly for Monique and Shawne, Michael and Louie complete it after two attempts, which means they are holding out for this being a non-elimination round. With the drama deflated from the conclusion of this leg, Dan and Jordan, Brent and Caite and Michael and Louie finish as numbers six, seven and eight.

Similar to our first eliminated team – I think their names were Adrian and Dana – Monique and Shawne do not give up change to Horse Sense. They finish the Detour even though they had to be 95% sure that they didn't have too because the reality was they were going to eliminated, which they were.

So, this season is flying by for me. I do have to retract a previous bold prediction that Team Big Brother Jeff and Jordan might be this season's dominators a la last season's Meghan and Cheyne. After two middle of the pack finishes in a row, they might not be duplicating that success but they are loads more entertaining and actually make me disappointed that I don't watch Big Brother.

So, for Carol and Brandy, I will channel Jerry Springer and leave you with "Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other."
