Maybe you've been watching The Amazing Race this season and, if so, your nerves are probably shattered. Fans of the show know that it can be as stressful for the viewer as it is for the competitors. This season, we've chosen a favorite - BJ and Tyler (bottom left, in the orange pants) - two happy go-lucky "best friends," whom everyone likes to call "the hippies." Did I mention they're from San Francisco? Now these two guys have been just having a good time, making jokes, making friends, and typically coming in first or second place. Yet last night they faced elimination when they made the mistake that has killed many a strong competitor - driving the wrong direction. They were way behind, and it was looking bad - but thanks to their quickness in getting through a task, and the incompetence of Lake and Michelle (in the middle - he's got a yellow jacket), they live to compete another day. Now I wasn't that stressed, because I assumed it would be a non-elimination episode, but no ... when Lake and Michelle reached the finish line last, they were told they had been eliminated. Lake really did himself in at the beginning of the episode, telling his wife, "bitch, shut up."

BJ and Tyler Pull It Out

Never trust a guy named after a body of water.
Absolutely.
I'm not a huge reality show fan, but I shamefully admit to watching Survivor. I actually quite dig the antics of that kooky Shane fellow - the one that looks like Nick Cave.
I find this show curious because it's always the one reality show they cite for credibility, awards, etc. I find it makes me really anxious to watch it, but funny. I was missing there being a same sex couple but it seems we can assume what we want from best friends? Or am I reading into this..I like these two they are having fun with it.
