HOW ABOUT A THREAD TO TALK ABOUT SUNDAY NIGHT TELEVISION:Including, but not limited to Desperate Housewives, Mad Men, Brothers & Sisters, Dexter, and Entourage. Is that something you might be interested in (arguably NSFW)?
NUMBER 11 -- HIS GIRL FRIDAY? Via OFDF and inspired by Nick & Norah, New York magazine ranks the top ten "one crazy night" films of all time.

FIGHTING CHOLITAS: Well, they've finally found a new variation on the "learn a local dance" task on The Amazing Race, and while lucha libre isn't quite as cool as the dancing-for-tips on the Cape Town dock from TAR2, seeing a man in a cape fail "somersault" does have its own joy. [And, really, who are you to doubt El Dandy?] Also appreciated? A rehash of the TAR12 clue from India of "find an ad in the local newspaper that gives you your next clue." And especially appreciated, if not necessarily enjoyed? The return of a particular outcome-affecting plot point from TAR3 -- same situation, same result.
Okay, so we have no idea whether the flights were spoonfed or found, and I don't really love or hate any teams strongly enough yet to make this a great season. But overall? Good clues, solid editing, worthwhile episode.

THE SURGEON GENERAL HAS ADDED SNUFF TO TOBACCO PYRAMID: Rarely does one need to say "Hey, you should read The Onion this week," but given the general awesomeness of the publication of their October 6, 1783 issue from the archives, hey, you should read The Onion this week. If you can resist headlines like "Rural Quaker Scandalized By Intricate Furniture Pattern!" and "A Mifchevious WOMAN Wander'd Outside of Home," explain yourself.
DROP THE CHALUPA:The chiuapocalypse chihuapocalypse continues at the U.S. box office, with "small cute talking dog" beating out Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, flesh-eating zombies, inspirational football movie, and Keira Knightley in a corset. I won't be shocked to see it continue next week, since this week's big release is a video game adaptation starring Mark Wahlberg, who probably should stick to talking to animals. (The big showdown comes in 2 weeks, when High School Musical 3 and Saw V face off in a box office battle that'll have the least overlap between audiences for the top films ever.)
YEAH, THAT EARLIER RELATIONSHIP DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING OUT: His heroic, patient efforts during third season of The Amazing Race made clear that Zach Behr could be a great partner for someone -- just not the ungrateful woman with whom he was racing -- so we're please to pass along word from the Times that he got married last night.
