To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Padma is pregnant.

And the father is undisclosed. Hmmm ... any bets on C.J.? (:

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

PR: I know!

With Louise I was thinking about Trillian. You know, where she says, "If there's one thing the Universe has taught me, it's never to go back for your purse." And sure enough, she's forgotten her contacts and misses out on her big life opportunity. So then she says, "If there's one thing the Universe has taught me, it's that sometimes you should go back for your purse and sometimes you shouldn't. It has yet to teach me which is which." Or something like that.

Anyway, that's what I felt like Louise was doing. Unable to recognize that this was really her time to shine, doing what she does, she failed doing something she doesn't do.

Hmmm ... any bets on C.J.?

Hahahahaha!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

PR - What crack are the judges smoking????

So apparently what they want this season is something boring pretty and wearable, except when they don't because "wearable" is a dirty word and not fashion-forward. WhatEVER.

I mean, I had to rewind to make sure I hadn't misheard when Heidi announced who the highest and lowest scores were. It just made no sense to me.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

The problem with watching Ken Burns' The National Parks is that now I want to go to all of them, even the ones I've already seen, which are:

Arizona: Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Saguaro
California: Yosemite, (and come November) Joshua Tree
Montana: Glacier, Yellowstone
New Mexico: Carlsbad Caverns
Texas: Big Bend
Utah: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Zion
Wyoming: Grand Teton, Yellowstone

Oddly, I haven't been to any east of the Mississippi. Favorites are probably Zion and Glacier. I was pleasantly surprised by Big Bend.

Parks I most want to visit:
Alaska: Denali
California: Channel Islands, Death Valley, Redwood
Colorado: Mesa Verde
Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanos
Oregon: Crater Lake

I guess it’s good I live in California now.

Because books.

Amazing Race: I keep wanting to call the brothers Sam and DEAN. Oops.

I'm sad about the elim. I liked that couple.

Amazing Race: I keep wanting to call the brothers Sam and DEAN. Oops.

Hah, totally.

Why couldn't the lawyers have had one more breakdown/fuck up? That would have made me much happier. But to have only one team I actively dislike at this stage is pretty remarkable.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I was sure the Lawyer was getting the Loser edit. Maybe the producers just don't like him any more than we do.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

So close to being rid of the asshole lawyer. Bleagh. If only that couple hadn't picked the needle in the haystack + word scramble task. Once the lawyer and the poker players are gone, I'll be pretty much OK with everyone else.

I love the Amazing Race. I also love the dance shows, like SYTYCD, SYTYCDC, & Dancing with the Stars.

However, tonight, I am watching something so very Canadian, and so very cheesy, & so very wrong it is right. I know there was a Stars on Ice in the UK, but this is Battle of the Blades! Figure skaters teamed up with hockey players! Doing pairs routines! I don't know if I'm proud of or appalled by my country!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh my god! It's a real life The Cutting Edge. I think if I saw that, I might die and go to cheesy pop culture heaven. Tell me that either DB Sweeney, Moira Kelly or Roy Dotrice are somehow involved with this show. Tell me that at some point, someone said "Toe pick!"
