Because books.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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.

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.

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".

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

TAR - loved the daughter/father painting the inside of a house and the guy laughing at them. Wow. And with the two gals Megan mentioned above, TAR sure brought on the dumb. China? Seriously? I wish the airline clerk had given her a ticket to China. The elimination made me sad. Those two had such a great attitude and looked like they would be fun during the race.

Undercover Boss - What a train wreak. How could the CEO not KNOW that the public thought Hooters is demeaning to women? How was that an eye opener? And the disrespectful manager? How did he keep his job? I know they used the cover of this being for a documentary, but all the more reason to fire him. Jimbo KNEW he was on camera. He knew that he was representing Hooters. And that is the image he chose to give? An apology to his staff is NOT enough. I do like the idea above of the lady manager getting involved in recruiting. Too bad they didn't go that way. Sure a paid vacation is nice and all, but that is a short term solution to a long term problem.

If this episode had aired before the WM one, I wouldn't have watched again. No idea if I'll watch the one about 7-11. Maybe if I'm too lazy after TAR.

You guys, I seriously don't think I can explain how much I love BB Jordan. And Jeff! He at least can read, and I think they'll be nice to people, including each other. ♥

I don't dislike her, it's just the stunt casting of it. It just further reinforces that the race is less and less about smart racing. I've been losing interest for a few seasons now.
