The following is why I (heart) TWOP and Miss Alli Stuff from the Mod: READ ME, PLEASE” href=”http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3111702&st=105&#entry1603112″>TWoP Forums -> The Racer and Racer Accessory Posting Manifesto. It’s entirely likely that we DO have a TWOP ringer on the fifth installment of The Amazing Race (which will be known henceforth as TAR5), so I “get” why Miss Alli is putting the heads up where Racers and their Accessories might see it just now.
