Found this on Usenet: Lyn's house burglarized Last week, just days before traveling to New York for the finale weekend, she came home to find her house in shambles. "The house was wide open. Someone had forced their way through the front door, everything was in the floor, nothing was untouched, even food out of the cabinets, and taken the plumbing from under the house," said Turk. The burglars had busted through two sets of doors to enter the home, and pillaged nearly everything inside. "They literally pulled out everything. I mean its stuff out the closet, stuff out the drawers, it was stuff in this cabinet and you can see where they dusted for prints over there," said Turk. Numerous items were stolen, including her son's play-station, and valuable copper pipes under the home.

Probably looking for copper. It's a huge theft item lately.

Anybody else watching the repeats of this on Reality TV? I caught a bit of it last night and it is really interesting to see what happened behind the scenes.

Occasionally I will stumble upon them. I caught the tail end of last night's too. If I flip past I have a hard time not stopping and watching.

I'm so Race-deprived that I set my TIVO to record some of them (that did not conflict with stuff I'm already TIVO-ing). Last night's was when Peter was acting like such a jerk (okay, almost EVERY episode...LOL) and when Mary and David did not get eliminated. Gosh was she annoying! But she is funny in her interview segments because she is so naive.

Okay still watching the Reality Channel reruns...and I have to say that I'm getting sick of Mary all over again (didn't care for her either of the times she raced anyway). She is now going on and on how she gave up the race for friendship to Lyn and Karlyn...giving Lyn the locations...I'm sorry, I don't get it! First of all I doubt that she was that self-sacrificing at the time (but she thinks it makes for good TV obviously), and secondly...WHY DO YOU DO THE RACE IF YOU AREN'T TRYING TO WIN? I also remembered why we didn't like the blondes that much at the start of the race either...they were annoying, although they grew on me later. This was the episode where Rob & Kim and Tyler & James had to eat the cow lips at the fast forward and still didn't come in first...YUCK!
