Not real uplifting, I'd guess.

Lots of people have a skewed vision of reality, and unfortunately, their vision of what karma gives and takes alters to fit within that skewed reality.

And a LOT of people have a LOT of different views of what 'karma' is... most people view it as, "if I do something bad, something bad will come to me" and vice versa. While I do see that side of it, I also tend to look at the opposite perspective -- if something crappy happens in my life, I don't necessarily look at and blame the last 'bad' thing I did... I figure that I'm paying my penance for whatever good is about to come my way...

love the Karma Man comic, Jimmer.

Karma actually is bigger than that. It's not about penance, per se. And it may not actually happen in this lifetime. You create good causes in this life, and it'll affect your next life. But if you want to know what kind of person you were in past lives, look at your life now.

For example, if bad things constantly happen to you (for example, people constantly break into your house and steal from you). It's possible that in a previous lifetime, that's what YOU did... broke into people's homes and stole their personal possessions. That's a REALLY broad (and bad) example, but...

So if something bad happens in your life, you are NOT paying penance for something good to come. You are paying penance for something bad you did. And not necessarily in this lifetime.

This is a core buddhist principle.

We used to joke about "banking" good karma, for a "just in case" day. And while you can accumulate good fortune by creating good works, it doesn't necessarily erase anything bad you've done.

Sorry, but huge misconception that I had to correct.

And to bring it back to the game... yeah, you do something good for something, and possibly something good will happen to you (give someone money, and maybe you'll get a good cab driver). You do something bad (such as calling and cancelling someone else's cab), then something bad will happen to you (you'll get a bad cab driver). Minor things can be fairly instant. But playing a game piece (yield) during the game? No karma associated with that, good or bad. So Mirna and Eric need to frickin' get over it! And quit calling people names and acting holier than thou, cause that, right there, is creating bad karma!

In reality television, all I know is Karma is a boomerang.

I am hoping the beauty queens win this one. They dont take themselves seriously at all and every step of the way they have taken their set backs with humor and grace. They want to win the money but you can see they are having fun every minute of the game.

Meanwhile, reader Sara from Kansas City writes that the show edited together footage of different planes during that segment:


On the Detour they said that Charla and Mirna would be in a C-17 aircraft for the task, then they showed a B-52 taking off and a C-5 landing. My husband is in the Air Force and he was just shaking his head.



DH noticed the same thing! LOL!

I think I'd hate to be a film editor and catch all the flack that must come their way. My guess is that to be a top drawer film editor you'd practically have to be able to walk on water.

Spear..thanks so much for posting those links (I think you do them every week); I clicked on it, and who knew..this is the first time I really knew what it was. Very interesting insights; I may have to go back and watch them all..lol.

Just had to say thanks to you!

You're welcome. Actually, the shows are easy enough to find on the official website so these links are probably not that useful except for people like me who have trouble with CBS's Innertube player.

Excellent tasks this episode, especially the Care Package Detour and the Roadblock. Congratulations to the final three pairs - may the best team win!

I wasn't crazy about this season being All-Stars but there were some great moments. Still love TAR (even though it aggravates me at times, lol) and Phil. Love getting to see the world.

I would love TAR more if they would announce that there was going to be a next season.

"...and every step of the way they have taken their set backs with humor and grace. They want to win the money but you can see they are having fun every minute of the game."


That's very easy to do when things are mostly going your way and you haven't checked into the pitstop in second to last position....

I think the "change" in the BQ's will be because they are suddenly not out in front...

I think we might get to see the BQ's I remember...

I don't remember the BQs having any bad moments compared to other teams. I do remember a lot of good moments.

It is interesting how we all see the same show in different ways.

I'm not a fan of Dustin & Kandice but I do have respect for how well they done in this game.

I already miss Danny and Oswald...

I don't remember the BQs having any bad moments, nor do I remember them being unnecessarily "mean" to another team. I remember them racing a good race -- they (mostly) raced smart on their season, as they have this season.

Well I do....mostly their bad moments were directed at other players...nasty remarks, snide comments...

...guess the nastiness gets turned on each other this time...

I know I could never remember the bad stuff others remembered about contestants I liked...

Guess memories can be very selective...

Costa, it's great that you could lay it out so nicely. I wanted to talk about it, but all I could form in sentence is that:
My grandmother, a devote Buddhist, used to say it'd take 500 years for the Karma to "repay". Whatever good deeds you do now is to better/hurry your chance to go to the final destiny(West land?) lifetimes from now, or it'll give your decedents a better life/fortune, etc.

It's very entertaining to see the word thrown around in the Reality TV World. Though mostly by people who thinks only about themselves. Which is the number one reason Karma would not be able to locate you, LOL!
