Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I had been worried that you WERE referring to the Hooters episode. That one better include some serious attitude adjustment on that manager.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Ha, no, i saw a re-airing of the waste management COO. The poo guy was awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching Shear Genius, and I miss Rene and Jacklyn! What is Camila Alves, other than Matthew McConaughey's partner?

Trust my rage

I loved the WM one. I really was impressed with the COO. The Hooters one already makes me feel sick to my stomach.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

No, I totally cried during the WM one. Not sure how I`ll feel about the Hooters one. I kinda already feel with how bad the preview was that if the boss in question doesn`t shut down the chain I won`t be content with the result.

I think i would be ok with firing the manager who would force anyone to do something so degrading. and install some kind of moral oversight. sheesh.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Excellent TAR. I'm ridiculously chuffed about Jeff and Jordan doing so well. Some of the bonehead moves this episode I don't thing I've seen anything to compare. Not to mention two teams waiting out penalties on the first leg!

Art Crawl!!!

TAR - I have to say I don't hate any of the teams. I am, though, extremely relieved that Triathlete Grandma and Granddaughter and the Cowboys made it through. I enjoyed the challenges and was particularly happy that they didn't do that asinine

Because books.

TAR: I'm bummed by the first elimination -- they were really pretty adorable, and I'd always rather root for someone is not young, blonde, and perfectly fit.

Undercover Boss: What's confusing me is what cover they're giving the locations. So this is supposed to be some new, random, entry-level employee -- why is a camera crew following him around, and interviewing staff? Just one of those curious things I'd like explained.

I love Jordan and Jeff so much!! OMG.
