Disappearing shoes and socks are complete WTF.
I missed the first episode but caught the one last night. Is the elder tribe getting a "handicap" on every challange? Seriously?
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

No, the Medallion of Power is a new twist this season. It gives the tribe who uses it an advantage in the challenge, but whoever uses it then has to give it to the other tribe.
The younger tribe found it in the first ep but was then given the opportunity to trade it for fishing gear, which they did, so the older tribe had it to use in this challenge if they wanted to.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh yeah, it was Holly. Sorry. I am interested in the art student, I think it's Alina, who seems to be a good player in what I've seen of her.
A website I saw (don't remember which) refers to the two teams as the Fogies and the Fetuses, which is hilariously perfect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Okay, so apparently Tim Gunn dishes HARD about his conflicts with the PR producers.
Wow. That sounds like an incredible clusterfuck.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
See, now, having heard how the challenge was described to the designers? I am even MORE a fan of Andy's look. In a way, they might as well have been designing for Michelle Obama, who favors similar clean looks but in a modern context. And who, lest you think Andy's outfit is still too far out, wore this just last month.

Wow, that is fascinating! PR producers, why have you not learned to listen to Tim Gunn? He's right there.
At least they didn't do the period piece biopic thing. What a yawn that would have been.

I think it's really funny how they insisted he not use Onassis, since it's when she was Jackie O that she seemed much more classic Am sportswear to me (than in the the early 60s).

Yeah, I really don't get the reasoning on that.

Because books.
I just watched (and man, do I love Tim), and I'm really surprised by how seat-of-the-pants the whole thing seemed to be. Changing the challenge in the eleventh hour? Not updating the judges on what Tim actually said to the designers in terms of directive? Wow.

I wonder how much longer Tim's on contract? He sounds uber-frustrated - the show without Tim is probably not worth watching, ya know?
