The Amazing Race - Unfinished Business (All-Star)

Zev came across like he didn't have Aspeberger's syndrome. He was funny and you would think people who are socially awkward wouldn't be funny as much as Zev was.

I wanted Zev/Justin to win but I'm glad the girls won.

I know next to nothing about Asberer's syndrome, but I could thought that he was a little immature and whiny in a child-like way (I don't mean he was slow or mentally retarded or anything like that) when you compare him to the other contestants. Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this, but that's how he came across to me.

I still thought he was funny and endearing though.

Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to socialize and communicate effectively with others. Children with Asperger's syndrome typically exhibit social awkwardness and an all-absorbing interest in specific topics.

Doctors group Asperger's syndrome with other conditions that are called autistic spectrum disorders or pervasive developmental disorders. These disorders all involve problems with social skills and communication. Asperger's syndrome is generally thought to be at the milder end of this spectrum.

While there's no cure for Asperger's syndrome, if your child has the condition treatment can help him or her learn how to interact more successfully in social situations.

If you watch Parenthood on NBC, one of the children (Max) has the condition and they've done a very realistic storyline about it. I actually learned things and could see how Zev copes as an adult. Venturing out of his routine and his comfort zone is a big issue.

RTB - we could hug it out if we lived closer. No worries.

I was sad that Cord and Jet got eleminated from the show. I have been friends to Cord on both Facebook and MySpace way before him and his brother appeared on the Amazing Race. Cord is a more household name than his brother since he competes in the PBR or Professional bull Riding that was founded by Ty Murray who he competed on Dancing With The stars. Cord could be invited on DWTS in the future because of the PBR.

I wound up meeting alot of these bull riders and rodeo stars from both Social Networks. I am writing a sci-fiction book of a future rodeo, and many of these wonderful cowboys agreed to help me learn about their sport. There is one I am trying to find sponsorship for him to compete at the PBR.

Now, as I watched the show, I am pretty upset that the others ganged up on the boys. That is very low class for those teams. The other teams were way too lazy to figure things out themselves, so they had to cheat. I got the feeling from the first episode that the boys got ganged up, and that a feeling that they would not last to the end. The last one they were on, they did better, people were not lazy or ganging up on them. From what I read from Cord's page and over the internet, so many people were upset how they were treated. Mainly from the girls and ladies who love those country boys. It is just sad that people do not play fairly and cheat. If I were rich? I would give those boys a $5 million because they were the true winners for solving the clues on their own. It seems good guys finish last.
