Amazing Race, "Alright, guys, we're at war!": Dreaming of painted elephants

Don't have much to say about last night's obligatory "The Amazing Race" stop in India (and am glad I mostly watch the show on CBS.com, as my recording at home was mostly Obama, thanks to the NCAA tournament pushing "60 Minutes" into the 8 o'clock hour), but I do want to make one quick point after the jump...

I again want to point out how awesome Mel White is in the way he debunks traditional modes of reality show behavior as unnecessary. I was already on board the Team Schneebly train after Mel refused to pray for the winds to change, because God has more important things to worry about than a game show, but now they're one of my favorite "Race" teams ever after Mel explained that being on a game show isn't an excuse to yell at cab drivers or other service people for working slowly. The man rules, and not just because he smoked all the young'uns on the Roadblock.

Was hoping the knuckleheaded brothers would finally go home, but it seemed fair that the flight attendants just missed surviving because they had to do the Speed Bump.

What did everybody else think?
