For any Dog Whisperer fans, Cesar Milan's lovely dog, Daddy, has died.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Am I the only one who finds herself crossing her fingers at the end of Intervention episodes, hoping the outcome is positive? Maybe I'm just a little scarred when it turns out (twice) that the subject died shortly after the show filmed....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(I know this is an odd thread to be dropping into after a week offline, but I figure there's not likely to be anything posted in here that might make me cry, so YAY REALITY TV.)
Anyhoo, I want to be on this show. My sister has a ton of front-of-house experience, I love to cook and boss people around, and we come up with at least five crazy restaurant ideas every time we speak.
Also, Scripps is ditching the Fine Living Network in favor of The Cooking Channel, which I assume will be their excuse to transition The Food Network entirely over to reality & lifestyle shows.

Because books.
Oh, that does look like fun, Jess.
which I assume will be their excuse to transition The Food Network entirely over to reality & lifestyle shows
Do you mean then the strictly "cook along with me" shows will be on The Cooking Channel?

Is everyone watching TAR on time delay? Go Cowboys! I was sorry to see the eliminated team go, but they seemed way to comfortable hanging in the back. Never felt them fighting to stay in the game.

I am just missing TAR altogether until the Olympics are over.

I LOVED tonight's TAR!! That whole bus thing was exactly what the show has been missing for some time now, what with their reliance on team-driven cars and planes that bunch everyone up on the same flight. And the cowboys were the recipients of really excellent luck; loved how they acknowleged that and didn't even attempt to say that they got on the best connection because they were paying attention. This week was all about the travel luck and not about the skill to do the various tasks.

I liked how they even said "read the clue, do we have to take a direct bus" (or something like that). Checking to make sure they had options and avoiding a penalty. Plus asking about their bus terminal. Yes, they had luck, but they also played smart.

Yes, they were lucky, but they worked for their luck. Also, they turned out to be real cowboys with the llamas, not just guys wearing cowboy hats.
(And bonus points for employing the hat as an egg-carrying container, which is a time-honored farm tradition.)
I admired all the different llama-decorating strategies.

Art Crawl!!!
Exactly - they were lucky and smart.
