Yeah, that's what I meant -- I could fool myself into thinking I could bungee jump, but that's different from something you literally could not do.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I thought it was a little odd to have a required drinking task, especially a lot of alcohol. I am such a lightweight I would have been seriously wasted after that amount of beer. But whatevs. It was funny to see the dad so happy to see the task.
Since I'm just getting into the swing of it, I'm just now feeling the love of the cowboys. They are seriously awesome and funny and smart.
I'm glad last episode's McBickersons assessed what was going on and tried to make adjustments. And the brother on the challenge with her was really sweet with her genuine fear.

'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"
There were the recovery male models a couple of seasons ago... I can't recall any alcohol-related challenges in their season.

Dudes -- Top Model starts on Wednesday. I don't think I really want to watch it. But I'm sure I will....

I accidentally posted this in bureau--
I'm watching ABDC randomly at the moment, and it is so not grabbing me. I saw an episode the other week, of some kind of regional finals or something. The episode I'm watching now is Lada Gaga...and the crews are not great for me (OK, just the three I've seen, earlier ones in the ep may have been awesome--the one did mention they've been in the bottom the last two weeks!)
I watched the Hooters "Undercover Boss" and it made me so angry. Ooooooooh. I wanted to smack people.

How could you not watch new ANTM? Andre Leon Talley in a turban and a caftan. That is all.
Oh also, Undercover Boss is excellent reality TV crack. So manipulative and yet soooo satisfying. The episode with the Hooters dude was rage inducing, but all of the other ones have been cheap tears, cheese-fests. Did you see it this past Sunday? The 7-11 driver from Kazakhstan who kept talking all that "only in America/What a country!" blah blah like some modern day Yakov Smirnoff? And then the boss gives him and his wife, who only see each other two days a week because he works nights and she works days but that lets them be like lovers, an all expenses paid vacation so they can spend enough time togehter to get sick of each other like a good American pair should do? O. Em. Gee. I admit that I kind of love this creepy, fake show.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Is he a judge this time around? I'm trying to stay away from ANTM...

Yes, Ms. Jay has finally gotten sick of Tyra is pursuing other things.

He's replacing Miss Jay and you know that shit is about to start getting amazing! I would pay folding money to see Fivehead and the gay giant that made her famous try to share diva space. So, so good. I haven't been a regular ANTM watcher since the season when Jaslene won, but I will be back for ALT. Oh, yes.
