The Amazing Race - Season 30

[tlh9]

I agree that Cody doesn't really seem the type who "gets off on that", as gforce so perfectly put it... however, he *did* apply for that BB season, which really surprises me still as it just doesn't seem to gel with his character or personality type.  I'm pretty sure the YouTube channel is Jessica's idea, and doing.  (Their own YouTube channel about their lives together, though??  Really??  Geezus.  That takes an... odd... personality type...)

While I didn't care for either of them on BB, (not liking Jessica more than Cody, Cody was so... different that at least it made him mildly interesting) I really found myself liking them on TAR.  Even Jessica to some extent.  And it also pissed me off when other teams thought Jessica should've "helped" them in some way, and they would actually get pissy that she did not.  Whether I like Jessica or not... seriously??  They really think she "owes" them anything like that, in a million dollar competition??

Like that ringing phone challenge... I thought Jessica handled that perfectly, and was quite generous... yet they were pissed that she didn't spill her info immediately, instead waiting til she was sure *she* had passed the challenge.  Get over yourselves, other teams.

But anyway, yes, they do seem pretty perfectly suited to each other, so I'm happy for them that they found each other.

As for Henry and Evan... I laughed when Henry finally told her to basically shut the fuck up at that airplane-building puzzle challenge.  Ha!  I mean, I was getting SERIOUSLY annoyed by her constant "cheering" and whatnot and I was just watching in my living room... I can only imagine how *beyond* annoying that would've been in person while trying to complete a frustrating puzzle, for $1 million.  At times she was okay, but at others she really could be kind of an ass.

Seriously, during that airplane challenge, I was like "where is a sailboat arm when you need one?"

I'm a total sap and an easy crier so I cried happy tears for them. You know what I just realized and really speaks well of them and their relationship, they never fought. I can't say that for most of the teams, and certainly none of the other couples. I also like that Jessica just kept her head down and kept soldering on during the plane. She's certainly sharper than she's given credit for. I'm sure we will see them again, I could see Cody on Survivor and honestly, I wouldn't be against it. I'd also be up to seeing Jessica again, most likely it will be BB though. 

I hope Hen has seen these episodes and has made a break for it. Evan is just horrible.

I could not stand Evan either, and glad Henry told her to shut up, I hope he gets away from her fast in real life.  I hate those pieced nose rings they always look like a booger. 

[Shannon]

The nose ring, so ugly.

[Kyara]

It reminds me of oxen nose rings. Why would any woman want to look like she has to pull a cart for a living? It mildly rings of subservience. All puns intended.

[gforce]

Seems to me that Henry is the one pulling the cart.  Metaphorically, at least. 

[copssister]

True - yet, we've all witnessed how well Henry does when he's pushing a cart.  #headtoheadchallengefail
