It appears that basketball ran around ten minutes long, so pad your DVRs.

No need to pad - 60 Minutes started right at its normal time of 7:00 pm ET. CBS had the local/national
newscasts be shortened by 10 minutes so everything would be on schedule for the rest of the night.

For Canadian viewers and American viewers close to Canada who get CTV - you can watch this
weeks episode of AR right now as CTV is showing it an hour earlier due to them picking up ABCs
coverage of the Oscars starting at 8:00 pm ET. (This actually works well for me. Since I missed
last weeks episode of Celebrity Apprentice, I can record AR earlier at 7:00 pm ET - then record
the one hour edited version of last weeks episode of Celebrity Apprentice at 8:00 pm ET and then
record the new 2 hour episode of Celebrity Apprentice at 9:00 pm ET.)

Sorry about the wrong pad info, I didn't think they'd cut the news short. I wish they'd do that more often.

She cries without tears. I'm not sure you can trust anybody that does that.

How awesome for Andrew to show up on the mat and get to play soccer (or kick the ball around, anyway) with Diego Maradona?

Getting new respect for Bopper and Mark. They pretty much aced both challenges tonight.

Glad the clowns are gone. They were kinda distracting from the stronger competitors. Though the other two guys teams pretty much threw the clown under the bus at the roadblock.

Not shedding tears of a clown to see them gone. Good for him to beat Hodgkins, though.

Agreed on the Bopper and Mark. They looked like real short-timers last week so nice to see this effort since I have them in the game.

Very impressed with Mark and Bopper today. Those 2 Red Necks were actually kind of funny this episode.

OMG, Big Brother Rachel's little meltdown was beyond annoying. Yeah, she sucks at math and isn't as smart as Brendon. Move on!

It's early, but I kind of like Dave and Rachel and the Border Patrol Guys.

And who wants to bet that Dave the clown still didn't get the answer right, but since everyone was gone, including the cows, the Producers just said fuck it and let them go through?

I was wondering the same thing

The clowns got a rough break with the bus window, but they sucked on both challenges and were a deserving loser ("Oh, there's a picture on the side of the box!").

at the camera returning to their spot and still seeing them with their backs to the kettle.

The solar thing looked like a classic trap challenge, where figuring out the assembly and waiting for boiling might take a lot more time than expected, while the wood-gathering was pretty straightforward manual labor.

They should have called this episode, "You Have A Booger On Your Nose."

I also don't think Dave ever got the number right.

It's nice to see that BB Rachel is still just as annoying as ever.

Phil tweeted that the greeter at the mat was not Maradona and fooled him /Andrew (and probably the production company as well)

I guess the producers need to lay off the coke.

I can't stand the Border Patrol guys... they seem mean-spirited and arrogant. I like Bopper and Mark. Hoping they're a dark horse team and surprise everyone.

I wondered if they eventually probably kept whittling down the number of cows in the pen. When they got down to two, he was finally able to do the math.

After they had auctioned off all of the cows they probably stuck one cow in a pen and announced how much it weighed so they could all go home.
