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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love Jordan and Jeff so much!! OMG.

Undercover Boss: RAGE. Good god, absolute RAGE. And this chain manager KNOWS he's camera. WTF?!

Also, I can't believe the idiocy going on with this painting task. Seriously? I'm not convinced poor Jordan is 100% literate, and yet? They figured out what the clue said.

It's true. That and the models not getting that they were supposed to take the funicular.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Undercover Boss: What he did for Marcy was nice, but how about also asking her to head up a recruiting and training program that helps to create and find more women who want to get on the management track.

For Waste Management, I think they said they were doing a documentary or news story on entry-level jobs.

Is TAR usually On Demand? Survivor and UB are. I really want to watch ice skating "live".

I've never seen TAR On Demand in the past, unfortunately.

I really liked tonight's opener! From the beginning challenge of using LA's public transit system to the end with two teams stuck with penalties, I was highly entertained. I love that fact that most of the teams are not young models/actors, only the SC models and Team Big Brother, that I can think of.

I hope that the SC models get gone soon, just because I have lingering issues with her stupid answer in that pagent. It's not fair to him, but, oh well. I liked the team eliminated tonight--too bad they were gone that quick. I hope that the granddaughter/nanna's-gonna-outrun-you team stick around for a while--I like both of them a lot!

I think this may be the season to give up on TAR. Just the fact that they cast the SC idiot and the Big Brother chick may be the last straw.
