2 Hours! Really? Was that necessary?
I got to say that I was bummed that NBA was cut, but I did appreciate that they have more challenges. However, some of those challenges, especially building the war weapon, would have had me scratching my head.

I'm not loving this season. Most of the teams are blandly likeable, but there is no villain. Rescue guy might step up, he seems like kind of a dick.

Jessica will be the villain. I think this season is bland due to the fact that they spent too much time in Europe just to do boring challenges. They need to leave the continent and go other places. I always love when they go to India, because that will a true test of wills.

India or Africa. I loved the Botswana episode where the utube stars couldn't navigate without GPS on the 2 roads in the entire area.

My favorite Euro challenge was when they had to simply count the many objects that were in a ben in Ikea.
Favorite India one is when they simply have to travel through the country.
Wait. . . they did go to North Africa this season. They went to Morocco, but they didn't do anything really cultural, except read bellies for a message and follow the gnome.

That's right, but Morocco is a more developed country.

That's true, but they could have ridden a camel, went to a ruin, or did something with technology in which the country is really enforcing.

Agreed, I wish they had done something more interesting in Morocco than the gnome zipline. 🤣🤣

Can't wait to see this new phone challenge that they are hyping. It better be epic.

I don't know anything -- just what the clip for the upcoming show.
Yeah! Did you know Asypn is engaged?

Yes, Cinles had that news. It hasn't been on he show, but I guess the scenes they are showing are almost a year old. Maybe it hadn't happened yet.

Okay, here's comes some shallowness...
I want to know why all of the daughters' men are so. . . homely?
I swear Aspyn could have caught a better looking dude than the one she has. Just saying. . .

I guess I am equally shallow. Aspyn is the prettiest of th e Brown daughters and yes, she could definitely do better. Caleb looks pretty good compared to him and Tony. God, what is Mykelti thinking?

Okay, you are my people!
Aspyn is the prettiest, but Ysabel, the younger sister w/scoliosis might give her a run for her money. Of course, my money is on that she'll marry a troll due to this childhood trauma of having scoliosis. (OT: Did you check out when she said she didn't want to wear the brace, because it made her look bigger? Wow, it does appear Christine has a skinny teen daughter. I can remember a time, when all the girls looked like they camped out at the dinner table.)
Mykelti, I just don't get why she chose Tony. He can barely speak or has any type of real job. He claims to work at a bank, but he won't state in what capacity. I know she has her short-comings but she was going to school, can speak, and is attractive. I heard a little chatter that Tony might be a she. I swear he looks like one in this pic.
Caleb is the pick of the litter, and looks wise is matching up with Maddie. In fact, I think Maddie upgraded, even if the hubbie is older. He does seem to have a job and home.
In Sept, Logan got engaged. All I have to say is that these Browns sure get married young. OMG.
