Speaking of Wednesday night, earlier this week Jeff (not Probst) sent me an email that said, "On Wednesday, April 5, 2006, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 AM, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. This will never happen again." I have no idea what that has to do with any TV shows, but it's pretty dang cool. Too bad I didn't tell you about it until now.

So we learned at the beginning that the Frat Boys work as a valet and a waiter. How old are they now? Both on the high side of their 20s? I can't believe the Pink Girls gave all that up.

The producers did their standard trick of making the first destination a place that's closed overnight but it didn't work since the Frats and Hips were they only two teams able to make it there before it opened. They're really going to have to do something drastic if they want to get all the teams caught up again.

Did you know Barry rhymes with hairy? He's got way more on his shoulders than he does on his head.

That swordfish Detour was good fun. MoJo didn't think so as they lost some of their namesake by fighting with each other. Mo was crying and Jo was yelling. Have Loch and Michelle been giving them relationship advice?

The boring part about this episode was nobody passed anyone. The order after the fish challenge was the exact same order that they finished. Maybe they can knock off four teams at the next Pit Stop and be done with it.

I see that the Nerd girl was wearing Under Armor too, which means the entire show is sponsored. That would explain why an athletic apparel company would be interested in two random colorblind girls from New York.

Loch's new annoying move this week was to run around topless. "Look at me, y'all! I run a dental practice, I verbally abuse my wife, and I still have time to go to the gym!"

Last place came down to Ray & Yolanda against Dave & Lori (we'll see if you're paying attention and even know who anybody's name is). But the Black team was done with the kayak polo Roadblock before the Nerds even got there so there wasn't any drama whatsoever.

They need to stop putting the Pit Stop within walking/running distance of the final challenge. How are teams supposed to screw up if they don't have to get back in their cars and drive somewhere?

So our favorite Star Wars fans were shipped back to Tatooine, and big Dave cried like J.J. Redick. At least he was able to compose himself long enough to leave us with these words of wisdom:

"What a wonderful gift. Nerds rule!"

What a wonderful gift indeed.
