Did anyone watch the couples reunion last night? I didn't realize it was a two-hour show so my recording stopped just as they started the squid ink stuff (and that just about did me in!).

It was 1.5 hours, so you didn't miss too much. They all did that stunt, the winners (can't remember their names, not the young ones, not the ones where the woman looks like Chiara) got a computer game(!!) but also $20K. Then the last stunt had the male half walking/running across a suspended narrow beam, when he got to the end he had to release a key on a pulley system to the female half, who took it, got onto a water ski and drove it off the edge of the building. The young couple was first, he hesitated but they did ok. The Chiara couple were second, beat the young kids by 13 seconds. The last pair then beat them by another few seconds.

Did you notice the b*tchy girl got the new boobs she promised herself last time?!

LOL...yes, I definitely noticed it, and along with the boobs she lost her competitive edge. I couldn't believe (was that Adam and Meg?) how inept she was this time.

I guess the couple that won was the school teacher and the concrete worker (the not quite attractive dark-haired woman - although she looked better this time than last and the bald guy?). I know the Chiara look-alike (and I had never thought about that before but you are SO RIGHT) is named Rachel and then the other couple makes me think of Ken and Barbie all the time...LOL.

The winners from the first one sure did choke...I guess they just weren't hungry enough this time...or perhaps the woman's overly large chest got in the way of her swimming too. There is such a thing as TOO MUCH and she definitely had it! But the first time they were great competitors.

Yes, those are the right names! And yes, the winners were the pair with the concrete worker - before the final stunt he said he was confident as he was used to going along narrow beams in the air.

I wasn't surprised that Meg freaked out, but was that the little one (ex-winner) did. Unless the scene was badly cut, she'd only tried the locks once each, then the middle one a second time. I think she just couldn't take the underwater part, not that I blame her. And like you say, the hunger had gone.

Well, Jim and Melissa were my favorites from the first time around so I'm glad that they won this time. And to me, Melissa is a very attractive woman.

I was glad Jim and Melissa (thanks for telling their names because I just couldn't remember) won this time too. They seem like a really great couple.

Did anyone see this week's episode of "favorite winners" week? I have this thing about worms of any kind and I was absolutely flipping out when I saw them chewing up those unholy tomato worms and drinking the fluid. GAGGGGGGGG!

I did see that one and those worms were just beyond nasty...besides I think there is something gross about having to drink your own spit!

I was amazed at how competitive that cowboy guy was. I can't believe that he was that nimble in those tight-fitting jeans.

LOL...

For some reason though the squid ink from a couple of weeks ago to me was the absolute worst.

Personally...I think "milking the goats" with their mouth was the grossest!!! ICK That just made my flesh crawl!

Had another 'couples' episode. None of them were annoying like last season, so it wasn't as fun to watch, but it was fairly entertaining. The woman in the couple that won looked like Denise Richards, and with a southern accent that was quite enticing.

I didn't even watch this week because I hate couples episodes...and the "family fear factor" episodes. Nothing like seeing parents setting a wonderful example for their children by dissing other contestants. Nice.

OK, tonight was the worst of the worst...having to eat ROADKILL with maggots and parasites and who-knows-what else. WTF??? Can we get much more disgusting?

Well, I totally had to stop eating my dinner because my DH was watching this and just as I went to eat the "roadkill" part started. I tried to ignore it as long as possible, but I finally just got up and put my dish in the kitchen. I wondered too just how good eating that stuff could be for them. How can you know that eating maggots won't harm you, plus there were flies all over the stuff? Flies carry all kinds of nasty things, so I really wonder when they have these people eat live things, just how it might affect them. Wasn't there something last season about one of the celebs (I think Donny Osmond?) getting sick because he swallowed some kind of bug whole instead of chewing it? Anyway, I could do without the gross parts of this show. My DH still likes it and since I haven't found something else to watch at that time yet, I guess I'll ending up seeing it.

Newsanchor, that part of the challenge started with four people. Three were able to do it, one opted out. I got the impression that the three that were successful, later, uuumm (to put this nicely) - emptied their stomachs.

The one on last night was a good one. "Siblings" ep. 1 set of brothers, 2 sets of brother/sister, and 1 set of sisters. Sisters seemed a bit high maintenance and they went out first, but the best stunt was the second one where this girl who has an extreme phobia about spiders, stuck her head in a box full of them. Joe was the most impressed I've ever seen him be toward a contestant. And the kicker was that the obnoxious brothers screwed the last stunt up and lost. I laughed out loud.

Those brothers really were obnoxious weren't they? It's hard to believe it was all an act, as they claimed. I was freaking out just watching the girl with the spiders, and I'm not even particularly spider-phobic. I don't know how she did that. Shame they didn't win the money or at least the holiday!

Actually, I think they did win the holiday, didn't they? They went through it so fast because they were both a bit freaked, and I thought they got the trip? I could be wrong, though.

No, the two brothers got the holiday, they were last to do the spider thing but they did it really really quickly. At least they got their comeuppance at the end.

NOW FEAR THIS: Five reality stars and one serial fabricator have signed on to appear in a February sweeps episode of Fear Factor, USA Today reports. The participants include Survivor alums Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca, Amazing Race stud Reichen Lehmkuhl, The Bachelorette's Ryan Sutter, American Idol also-ran Nikki McKibbin and Apprentice hell-raiser Omarosa. It's not clear what challenges they face, but a Fear source reports seeing a lie detector being wheeled onto the set.

This is from tv guide online ...
