Can you hear my cries of frustration?
I’ve been looking forward to one (count that, ONE!) television show for months now… And I missed the 90 minute premiere tonight! ARGH!!!!! Yeah yeah… so I’m a mama now and I’ve got more important things to do like make ninety million formula bottles a day and change umpteen wet diapers, not to mention do everything possible to make this darling child smile. (And oh, what a smile! It melts hearts of stone, topples crusty dictators, cracks uncrackable codes. It’s simply amazing.) Was I smiling so hard that all thoughts of The Amazing Race fled through my widened eyes and stretched lips? I think so.
Friends, fellow television viewers and owners of VCRs, please please please let me know if you just happened to tape the premiere of my FAVORITE TELEVISION SHOW EVER. I’m dying here. Can you feel my pain?

such cruelty!!! (and i’m wondering if you even watched it… or just said that to be mean.)
i hear that TAR6 is coming out this fall. two shows in one year? such joy! ; ) noon, i totally think you should sign up for season 7.

I’m not a big amazing race fan, but I did catch a lot of last nights premiere and I was quite impressed.
Spoiler: I was shocked at the raw fifty-pound _____ they had to carry for at least a mile, I thought that was just cruel! It was quite exciting. There was one couple, the models, that I think are just not going to last.
(PS I just found your blog while searching online, congrats on your baby!)

never been into the amazing race; one reality show addiction is enough for me: survivor.

Have you ever checked out the recaps at Television Without Pity? The recappers add their own snarky comments as they report the action, but it is quite funny. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show.cgi?show=76

I Heart Dooce! Her political views aside, I enjoy her humour and struggles with being a new mom.
I also have enjoyed reading your blog.

TWoP is one of my favorite websites. The recaps are so funny.
