US geography should be REQUIRED study material for all future BAM contestants. Plus having a PaF with a MAP would be useful.

AAAAAARGHH! Where do they get these contestants?!

Where's that link to the "New Yorker" map? I'm pretty sure the only river they show on that is the Hudson, and all four of these states are definitely west of that!

Can we make an honorary llama category for contestants like Kellie?

She broke her promise.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Even though you can't actually say she llamed - she didn't answer one single question on her own.

Makes me glad I'm a Canadian who can't qualify for the show or I would be tearing my hair out.

Star Trek had problems with navels also - Gene Roddenberry asked his costume designer, William Ware Theiss, to try and reveal as much as possible without showing the navel, which is why there were episodes where the women had open-sided outfits.

I swear it seems that all of the contestants are conspiring together in the green room to say this and drive me crazy.

A basic geography question, and the remainder of her lifelines gone, and so is she.

Yep, everything else is "flyover country".

This was just plain sad.

The Confessor brought this idea up yesterday and--before seeing the show--I was of the opinion that TPTB has declared this a Llama-free Week by virtue of this rule chance, and that was that.

But seeing Kellie manage to look at two questions and successfully answer only one of them with the help of all three lifelines...we do need to memorialize this in some way.

What were the other wrong answers to the original llama question? We could give her one of those titles. Or else a llama relative, like an alpaca.

Ok, this was painful to watch. And I don't like to beat down contestants, but I will with Kellie.

Kusch has been in my brain, thinking my thoughts.

Ok, is being in your brain a good thing?

I thought so.
