OH AMAZING RACE

I found this on the CBS website. I have no idea when this happened.


A bunch has happened in the past two episodes, some good, some bad, some I don't want to talk about but have to if I'm going to accurately describe the series of events. As much as I despise the Queen Bitches, they weren't that bad in the last episode, but I still want them to go. Especially Horse Mouth. She needs to stop talking because she just makes herself look stupid, and very un-beauty queen like. Oh, and the best part, someone ate cow lips!

As you know, the last episode we talked about, David and Mary came in last, which meant they were marked for elimination. I'm glad they did away with taking everything from them like in seasons past. I had about enough of people putting eight layers of clothes on and walking around with their belongings in paper bags. That was just silly. Anyway, they have to come in first or they have a thirty minute penalty. The coming in first is nearly impossible for them, especially because they've already used a Fast Forward, but thirty minutes ahead of another team is also virtually impossible, unless you come in first... You get what I'm saying?

Luckily they leave the island of Mauritius having all bunched together again at the airport, leaving for Madagascar. Can I make a note about a few things that happened on the way to the airport first though? Well, first, those Queen Bitches decided they didn't want to take the car THEY wrecked last episode. So they stole another team's car to drive to the airport. Where this might not seem like a big deal, it really bugged me. It especially bugged me when they started justifying it. If they had taken the car during the race, not at the beginning, like at a Roadblock or something, that'd be wrong, so why were they fine to take it then? Bitches. Oh, and we learned that Tyler or James, I think James, isn't really a great partner. Yeah, he might look good (sorta) but he has no sense of direction. Tyler points this out and I'm thinking that maybe since they know this is his weakness, then maybe he shouldn't be the one navigating. Well, they are models, and recovering addicts, two strikes and two times the lost brain cells.


"No protein!"

Once in Madagascar, our six pack teams actually left the airport first. My hopes were up but soon they were dashed when they saw the statue they were looking for, but didn't commit to finding out if it was really the one. They drove by it and let the Queens, T&J and R&K jump ahead. Oh wait, I forgot the best/worst part on their way to the statue. Kimberly sincerely commented about how bad the people's health in Madagascar had to be because of the poor air quality due to the exhaust. Rob then pointed out that they were very malnourished and had a high mortality rate. This is the point where Rob is probably watching himself on television saying, "I really wish I would have shut the hell up now", because then he tells Kimberly that the people don't get enough protein, so their brain is smaller. Look, I'm not doctor, so granted, this may be true, but I'm thinking it's not something you want 10 million people to hear you say. Turd.

When they got to the Detour they learned it was an "Intersection". I love these cute driving terms. Anyway, at the Intersection, they learned they had to work with two other teams until they were instructed not to. Tyler and James and Rob and Kim got there first and decided to work together. The Queens arrived and no one was there, so they were forced to wait for the other three teams, who they knew hated them. I love it they had to wait. T&J and R&K decided to do the Fast Forward. They wanted one of the "six pack" gone so they decided to get the Fast Forward so they couldn't get it and not come in first. Now, I guess the not coming in first thing made sense, but they should have known David and Mary couldn't do it. Well, they went for the FF as the Queens still waited.

"I'm used to being 'on' the mattress, not carrying it"

Finally the other teams arrived and of course David and Mary and 'Bama decided to work together so the poor Chos were stuck with those losers. But, the good news is even if I want to pull their fake blonde hair out, they are good racers, and that's what the Cho brothers needed, good racers, since, God love 'em, David and Mary and 'Bama just aren't that good. Their task sounded simple enough, go to a vendor, get 8 mastresses, put covers on them and walk them about a mile to some lady who would give them a clue. Of course the Queens and Chos started off first, and were fairly efficient, finishing first and heading to the Roadblock. Dave and Mary and 'Bama didn't do so well. They decided to put all the mattresses together and bind them. Not really a bad idea if you were, say, moving an apartment, but walking through the crowded city, not so much.

If this doesn't cause you to lose your appetite I don't know what will.

While all of this was going on the other teams arrived at the FF. To their astonishment and my disgust and pleasure, they would have to eat some nasty stuff. And by nasty, I don't mean a pound of fish eggs, or some Ox tongue. No, they had to eat cow lips. And these weren't the sorta cow lips you'd find at your local exotic restaurant. No, this was like they went out to the field cut some lips off of cows with a machete and served them on a plate. And I think there was some blind guy wielding the machete because there was still hair and teeth in them. I just gagged writing that. The best part about this, besides seeing Rob feed his brain with cow lips, was that they were so confident they were way ahead of the other teams that they took their time.

Mary had argued with one of the 'Bama girls that they should go for the FF, but she thought the other two teams would beat them there. Forget for a minute that David and Mary couldn't do it because they had already used one, they may have actually been able to get there and finish eating this before these teams did. In the teams defense though, I mean, besides it being COW LIPS (hair and teeth) they gave them a huge serving. Phil tells us that it's a local food. Okay Phil. Just like in challenges past, locals might eat this crap, but there's no way they eat this much of it.

The Chos and Hos (hahahha) finished the challenge and seemed to be a good ten or twenty minutes ahead of the last teams. It was a Roadblock they were heading to. At this Roadblock Phil tells us the teams are going to go around to the vendors and find something the Madagascar government uses a lot, the rubber stamp. Wow. I'm not into politics, but I don't think that's a good thing. Anyway, one member has to go around and find four or five stamps. Once they collect them they can go to the Pit Stop and meet their other team member, who will be up there already. The Queens get there first and start doing it. When the Chos get there they see one of the girls, I think it's Horse Mouth, who pretends she doesn't know where the clue is. Since the Cho's aren't that dumb, they realize that a) she's alone and b) she's holding the clue. They find it the clue and start.

She just realized she's dating Rob

Meanwhile, the FF peeps are STILL trying to eat the food. They're bragging to each other about how far the other teams are behind. At some point one of the druggies says that they're probably plowing a field. Um, I've been watching The Race since the first season and I've never seen them do that. He must be the dumb(er) one. They finish up just after Horse finishes, and they're all heading to the Pit Stop, along with Godwin (I think).

"You're #2". I could go so many places with that.

I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but I'm sorta happy the Queen Bitches end up in first, since the other FF teams were so confident. Tyler and his bitch, I mean James, get second place, and big brained Rob and Kimberly get third. The Chos end up in a close 4th.

"Oh Lordy Lordy!"

Now all we needed was Mary and David to beat up the 'Bama girls and things would be well. They arrived at the Roadblock a few minutes apart, David and Mary in front, and started working to find the rubber stamp. When 'Bama got there Mary was kind enough to point the chick doing it in the right direction. David and the other 'Bama waited at the Pit Stop and you could tell 'Bama, although they liked D&M, wanted to come in first. Mary left the Roadblock first, and unless 'Bama had some serious issues, like accidentally walked to the Pit Stop, looked like my team wouldn't stay in. Mary got to the Pit Stop and Phil started the clock. This is when I looked at my roommate and said that 'Bama girl was only about 10 maybe 15 minutes behind her, since no clock was seen counting down. Sure enough, even though the producers tried to get us with fancy editing, and the cab 'Bama was in ran out of gas, they arrived in about 10 minutes. I know that because Phil said there was 20 minutes left on their clock. So, the amazing David and Mary were kicked off. I was sad. Real sad until I watched this...

I love these two!!!

So, after Kentucky was gone, it was good to know that now the Chos could really get into their groove. Not so much. The teams learn they're going to Finland. Woohoo! They also find out that because of the limited amount of flights out of Madagascar, they're already booked on a flight. They're under no obligation though and when the QBs get to the airport, they find another flight. It's not really clear that this is a better choice, but it leaves the southern hemisphere way earlier, I guess, then the other flight. The flight leaves soon enough that everyone thinks 'Bama won't make it, seeing they're in last place. The Chos get the flight and when they see 'Bama they yell to them what's going on. The ladies try to get on the flight but it's leaving in less then 5 minutes. They do a little begging and the top 3 teams are all happy the girls are gonna miss it. Then they feel like douches when the girls show up, moments before the flight takes off. The Chos of course are genuinely happy, but the other teams are annoyed.

When they all land in Helsinki, the QBs tell us that James and Tyler are their biggest competition and that they would all be happy if they left. Well, since this is The Amazing Race and not Survivor, you can't really affect how someone else races. 'Bama gets a little annoyed at the QB, saying that they get ahead because of their looks and their boobs hanging out. I didn't see any boobs hanging out, not even any of that blur thing they put in front of the Survivor girls when they start running and their boobs come out. I love blur things.

Tyler and James and the QB get to their destination, an Internet cafe, almost at the same time, the guys slightly ahead. They get video messages from their familes. It's all nice, everyone seeing their family, but I would hope my Mom would be okay if I skipped to the end and tried to get out of there. You can't really though because their loved one says the place to get the next clue. The guy standing around with the clues. Yeah, that was tough. They head out and the other teams follow. The Chos actually make it out of the cafe quickly, but go the wrong way to the train station, and fall behind a bit.

When they get back to the area to wait for taxis, there's a long line. Rob doesn't know or care about lines, and just hops in a taxi, with the people behind them grumbling. Well, 'Bama thinks this is a good idea and does the same thing, while a man yells at them for doing it. The Chos decide to wait their turn. I'm kinda torn on this, really. I mean, on one hand I think it's nice they aren't sacrificing who they are for a million dollars. On the other hand, it's a million dollars. It's a race.

Phil is way too skinny

Eventually, everybody gets to the Detour, a bit staggered, QBs and T&Js first. Swamp This or Swamp That. Yeah, I'm not feelin' that one. They have to do one of two things, either crawl through an obstacle course of mud, or cross country ski through mud. This is a tough one. I'm not much of a skier, but it's through mud, and if you fall down, the odds of you getting back up... okay, the odds of me getting back up are very slim. Of course, the guys decide to do the more difficult task and run through the mud. They actually do fairly well, although one of them, I think the little pu**y one, gets stuck and his big boyfriend has to come save him. How sweet. The guys finish first and head to their awaiting cab, which will take them to the train station. They decide to changed out of their muddy clothes there, which allows QBs to pass them.

You'd think the Cho brothers would be good with this one. Not because they're Asian, this isn't Survivor, but because they're young strong guys. They start the mud obstacle course neck and neck with Rob and Kim but flounder and end up leaving second to last before 'Bama. The four pack at the front end up getting on the train, which takes off before the other groups get there. The next train isn't for an hour, which gives those bitches and Dustin and Kandice a head start. Rob's pissed and weird looking.

When the front teams get to their destination they drive themselves to a mine and discover a Roadblock. They have to take a tram down into the mine and Dustin and Kandice miss the flag on the door and miss the tram, giving Tyler and James a bit of a lead. In this Roadblock, one team member has to bike a mile down a dark tunnel, find a cinder block, bike back up, and then use tools to break the cinder block open, which will have their next clue. The two teams do it, yeah, whatever, not exciting, although I was really hoping for some sort of collision. Alas, it didn't happen. The clue tells them to make their way to Olympic stadium. Suspiciously it doesn't say anything about a "Pit Stop" or "Phil" and we don't get Phil's normal little spiel about where they are. I miss Phil.

After they get off the train, the back six head to the mine. Rob and Kimberly, desperate to outwit the other teams, completely miss where they're supposed to go and the other teams make it in the mine and down on the tram before they get there. The Cho bro and one of the 'Bama girls makes it down and halfway up before Rob even gets there. But, Rob makes it back to the station before 'Bama gets back and the Chos and Rob and Kimberly finish and head to the tram. Luckily, Bama's able to hurry through and catch the same tram up. I was really sad during this one because I thought of David and Mary. Actually, all the teams thought of them when they did this task. It was sorta sweet.

Okay, okay, this DOES look scary

Jame and Tyler make it to the stadium way before the girls and run around looking at Phil. The camera guy lets us know that they missed the door with the flag on it. A small door. Is Phil hiding in there? It can't be, Phil likes to be in the open air, sometimes he likes to dance and there's no way Phil and a local could fit in that room. The guys finally find the room and go in, to an elevator and go up to the top of the large tower. They find some guys and climbing gear and learn they have to rappel down the side of the building, face first. If you had to guess which guy was afraid of this, who would it be? James maybe? Well you'd be right. The girls finally show up and don't get as turned around as Tyler and James, and eventually find the door. Tyler makes it down and poor James just can't figure it out.

Finally the rest of the groups make it to the stadium and start running around, again missing the door. The Chos find it though and call 'Bama over. Those two teams race up the elevator, and Rob and Kim find the door just about then. It's a race to the top just as James makes it to the bottom, where I'm sure he's used to being. ZINGER! My heart was pounding a mile a minute as they opened a clue that said, "Keep racing!!!" And that was the end of the show. Why Phil?!? Why?!? I love this show!

FEBRUARY, REALLY?

Although only about a day has past since the last episode of Lost I recapped, a bunch of stuff happened. Remember the good old Lost days when they'd take us through more then a day. Poor Losties, they're still in 2004. I'm sorry, I digress.

I was sad after the second to last episode before the fall season. Speaking of fall seasons, what the fetch? The next new episode of Lost isn't until February '07. Seriously? I mean, if you're gonna take away Lost, it's a good thing Taye Diggs will be gracing the small screen for that time. I haven't watched Day Break yet, although it's sitting on my desk. I just can't bring myself to betray my Wednesday love yet.

Regardless, Mr. Eko. Let's start by talking about dear, sweet Mr. Eko. He's dead. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have broken it to you like that, figured it should be like ripping a band aid off. I mean, sometimes they're not really dead. Actually, on this show they're really dead. Except maybe for Jack's father. Oh, and Yemi, Eko's brother. We get to see a little background, more about their life in Africa. Eko of course is the protector, wanted to protect his brother, but got stolen by that gang if you remember. After Yemi was killed, Eko tried to come in and run the church. Unfortunately, some mean dudes came in, looking for the shipment of medicine. When Eko didn't want to give it up they killed a lady. Well, when they came back later for it, Eko killed them. Personally, I would have thanked him, but the people in the village were pissed, so Eko went off to take Yemi's place studying in London.

Back on the island, Eko has visions of Yemi that lead him out of the camp. Luckily, Locke and a few others, including the new people, go after him. They're also going to the observation station Eko and Locke found last season to see if they can use the computer there to contact the Others to get their friends back. Oh right, Sayid, Sun and Jin came back and told them their story too. Sayid goes with them to the station. Locke says that Eko's going the same place they are, the plane, that is right at the "?" where the other hatch is.

They eventually run into Eko who's not doing too well, you know since he was attacked by a polar bear and all. He gets to the plane and the body of his brother isn't there. Don't really think he walked away anywhere, but on this island, who knows. Eko wants some time with the plane that doesn't have his brother in it and the rest of the team goes downstairs to the station.

While they're in there Eko has another encounter with Yemi who he follows into a field. Eko figures out that Yemi wants to know if he's sorry for what he's done, you know, chopping people up and what not. Eko says no, that he did what he had to do to survive, and he's doesn't need to repent for it. Then Yemi says that he's not Yemi. Uh oh. At this point, I still hadn't remembered the rumors I heard about them killing off a character. I remembered about the time the black smoke came back and started throwing poor Eko around.

Locke and the others heard the commotion but didn't get up there in time to see what happened. They just found Eko's body. It still didn't sink into me. Not until Locke did the obligatory closing of Eko's eyes. Damnit. I cried. They decided to bury him there, near his brother. Sounded nice, but it was more for the people in the camp. Locke didn't want them to go through another funeral. Personally I'd rather know someone was dead instead of wondering if I'm going to be the next one to disappear. They all wonder what killed Eko and Locke pretends it was an animal. Maybe the polar bear wanted to finish him off. Sayid doesn't buy it and takes Locke aside, who tells him a bit about the smoke monster, but that Sayid doesn't believe that, so whateva. Locke goes back and gets Eko his Jesus stick he was always carving on. Uh oh, tearing up again. He glances at it and realized there's a Bible quote on it. The short of it is "John: North" which I assume Locke will take to mean he has to go North. Clever. RIP Eko, acted amazingly by the man they call Triple A. A side note, the actor wanted only a few episodes and they got him for a bunch of episodes, over two seasons.

Oh, and while they were down in the hatch before Eko died, they didn't get the computer to work, but one of the newbies figured out how to turn the TVs on. Personally I was thinking it the whole time and wondering how Sayid hadn't figured it out, but I guess they needed something for this boring chick to do. They were looking at the TVs, apparently other stations, seeing this is the observation station. Suddenly, they see a man's face at one of them. He sorta looks like Dennis Hopper in Waterworld. I bet that's too obscure for most of you. How about Tigh on Battlestar Galactica (Friday's @ 9 on Sci Fi)? Yeah, still not getting it huh? He basically looks older with a patch covering one of his eyes. Ha, that would suck if it was covering both. Anyway, it's sorta creepy and he must realize the light on the camera just came on and someone is watching because he walks up to the camera and does something to it to make it turn off.

Over with Jack, Saywer, Kate and the others, Jack's been invited to Trixie's funeral. It's very Medieval. They put her on some logs, push her out into the ocean and light her on fire. Jack confronts Ben about that being his x-ray from the episode before. He has spine cancer or a tumor or something like that and Jack's a spine surgeon, how convenient. Back in his cell Ben admits to Jack that they had a plan to break him, and make him trust them and blah blah, so that he'd do the surgery, but since he saw the x-ray, it's kinda moot now. He tells Jack he wants him to want to do the surgery and if he does it, he'll let him go home. His for real home not the island one. Jack refuses, and says that from the x-rays he saw, the person had about another week to live.

Later, Juliet comes in with the television and says she has It's a Wonderful Life or some movie like that for him to watch. Jack says he doesn't want to watch, but she insists on just turning it on anyway. She does and starts talking about why he should do the surgery. Interestingly enough, there's not a movie playing. At least, it's not the one she said. It's her, with some big cue cards, telling Jack some stuff. He reads it as he pretends to listen to her. It says that she and some of the others want Ben dead, and feel this is their only way, that Jack should do the surgery and then fake like there was a problem and let him die. She says that no one will know the difference and that if he does this she'll protect and help him. I don't know if I trust her, and I'm sure Jack's feeling the same way.

In the fall finale episode, it's Kate's flashback. It's actually a pretty good one. We find her the night before she's about to get married, to cutie Firefly guy Nathan Fillion no less. He thinks her name is Monica. She settles into married life with him. Oh, and he's a cop. Not really a good judge of character though I guess. Anyway, she calls the F.B.I. guy that was after her and times the conversation, saying she wants him to stop chasing her. He figures out she's found a guy and says that if she stays put, he'll stop chasing, but that they both know that won't happen, that she can't stay all caged up for too long. He's right. She eventually gets too comfortable and admits to her hubby that she blew her step father up and is a wanted woman. She apologized to him and is torn up about it. Not enough to not drug him, but enough. I think she needs to work out her commitment issues.

On the island, Sawyer's basically given up. He knows there's no way off the island, since they're not on their own island, and Kate's curious about his attitude. The two go to the work site, after Kate begs for them to let Sawyer come. When they're working, Alex shows up, remember her? Anyway, she comes up and starts shooting people with rocks from her sling shot. Very Bart Simpson. Pickett, Trixie's husband and the guy who hates Sawyer, pulls a gun on her. Yeah, because bullet trumps rock. They take her away, but not before she warns Kate that they're going to kill her boyfriend. And by boyfriend I assume they mean Sawyer. Juliet then comes up to Kate and wants her to put a bag over her head. Her own, not Juliet's. Kate doesn't want to do it until Juliet tells her that Pickett is going to kill Sawyer, and she can stop it if she helps her, first by putting the bag over her head. Her own, not Juliet's.

Kate's led into Jack's cell. They act like it's been months, but it's been a little over a week I think. And she did see him a few days before when he went to help Trixie. Anyway, I guess Juliet briefed her on the way over because she begs Jack to do whatever it is they want him to do, that they'll kill Sawyer if he doesn't. He's pissed, thinking she's now on Juliet's side. She eventually leaves and Jack's left to debate what to do.

Back with Sawyer and Kate, she tells him about seeing Jack, and how Pickett's going to kill him, and he's happy Jack doesn't want to do the surgery, even if it means he'll die. Kate's pissed and crawls out of her cage. She says if Jack can't save his life, then he'll save his own life. She busts open his cell and he tells her to stop, that there's nowhere to go since they're on an island the size of Alcatraz. He admits that he didn't tell her because he wanted her to have hope. Seriously, any hotter? No. She must think so too because they start doing it. HOT HOT HOT!

After there (I'm sure) hot love making, Sawyer asks Kate about when she told Pickett she loved him, and if it really was just to get him to stop hitting him. She admits that no, it wasn't, and that she does. Then he tells her he loves her too. I love these two!

In Jack's cell he hears something coming from the supposedly non working intercom. I think it's Alex, but who knows. Whoever it is tells him to try the door. He does and walks around. He finds a gun and then wanders into the observation room. He sees Kate and Sawyer in post coital bliss. Ben shows up and says how surprised he was too when he saw them. Ew, I hope he didn't really "see" them. Gross. Jack then says that he'll do the surgery. I guess knowing Kate's no longer his and that she really cares about Sawyer changes his mind.

So they're in the operating room. Juliet and a few Others are assisting Jack. They put Ben under as Pickett and Zeek watch from the observation room. Once Ben is under, Pickett decides to go kill Sawyer anyway. Oh he's such a douche! He goes out and finds him and Kate together. Sawyer fights back a bit, until the other Other holds a gun to Kate's head. Pickett says he'll kill her too if he doesn't cooperate. Kate's yelling for him to fight and not do it. But they just declared their love to each other, so he can't do it. The other Other holds Kate at gunpoint as Pickett makes Sawyer get on his knees. Sawyer's yelling at Kate to close her eyes and Kate's yelling that she'll do anything he wants. Honestly, I think it's the best scene of the season, shot beautifully, acted beautifully, everything. I'm getting teary eyed and goose bumps just thinking about it now.

At the same time in the operation room, while no one is looking, Jack does something suspicious. The bells start sounding and Juliet and Zeek want to know what's going on. Jack tells them that he's nicked the Liver (or some other vital organ) and that Ben has about an hour before he bleeds out. He wants them to release Kate and Sawyer or Ben dies. I guess we can count Zeek as not on Juliet's team of wanting Ben to die. If there even is a team. Jack demands Zeek radio Pickett. A moment before Pickett pulls the trigger, Zeek radios him and tells him to give the radio to Kate, and gives a quick explanation. Okay, so Pickett's not on Juliet's team either. Kate and Jack talk. He tells her to start running, take the radio and when they're safe, to radio him. He wants her to tell him the story he told her the first day of the crash, when she was stitching him up (*see below). Kate insists that they can't leave without him. He tells her to just go, to run and she just yells that she can't without him. He finally screams "RUN!" and the show ends its fall finale.

Those last 5 minutes totally saved this first half of the season for me. I like it that it didn't end on a huge note, one that I don't want to wait 13 or however many weeks to find out, but enough that my interest will still be there. I have a feeling things will move along bit more, and hopefully they'll give us a few more answers.

*"Well, fear's sort of an odd thing. When I was in residency my first solo procedure was a spinal surgery on a 16 year old kid, a girl. And at the end, after 13 hours, I was closing her up and I, I accidentally ripped her dural sac, shredded the base of the spine where all the nerves come together, membrane as thin as tissue. And so it ripped open and the nerves just spilled out of her like angel hair pasta, spinal fluid flowing out of her and I: and the terror was just so crazy. So real. And I knew I had to deal with it. So I just made a choice. I'd let the fear in, let it take over, let it do its thing, but only for 5 seconds, that's all I was going to give it. So I started to count, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Then it was gone. I went back to work, sewed her up and she was fine."

SHAT, SHOW ME THE MONEY

Last night, after watching my the latest episode of Heroes I Tivo'd, the television was inadvertently on ABC and by accident I started watching Show Me the Money. At first, I was disturbed because William Shatner was dancing. Oh, and they called him "Shat" which to me is the past tense version of sh*t and just odd. I didn't really have anything else to watch (I know, big surprised) so I watched it. Am I crazy to say it was totally awesome? I love William Shatner, have for a long time. I especially liked him in Miss Congeniality, because of his comic timing.

This show is great. The premise is simple, I hope. There's a contestant who gets a set of three questions. He can pass on the first and second if he doesn't know, but he has to answer the last one, no matter what. He then chooses one of the lovely dancing girls who has a scroll of money. She opens it and it's for anywhere from $20,000 to $250,000. After she opens it, they'll see if the answer is right. If it is, they get the money on the scroll into the pot. If they get it wrong they lose that amount. For the game to end they have either get six right or six wrong. There's also some elusive "kill card" in play. It took the whole show for Shat to finally tell us what that was about. Basically if one of the scrolls has the kill card in it you would have had to answer that last question right, and if not, then you have to answer a sudden death question.

So potentially, the contestant can walk away with over a million dollars. So the guy last night walked away with more then half a million. And the questions were very easy at the beginning and moderately hard at the end. It wasn't Jeopardy!. And Shat dances. And the girls dance. And the contestants dance. It's a fun show, you should check it out.
