Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

He sounds uber-frustrated - the show without Tim is probably not worth watching, ya know?

Oh, you misspelled "definitely" there, you spelled it "probably"

I ... don't get fashion. Gretchen is in the top? Really?!

Seriously! that thing was TERRIBLE.

I actually really loved Andy's look and thought that it should have won over Mondo's. I liked Mondo's look, but the bodice didn't fit!

Plus, he just did houndstooth and color last week!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I agree, Vortex. Even though I did remark at seeing Andy's couture look come down the runway, that it looked like the model was wearing giant cupcake wrappers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would have liked Andy to win on principle. I feel like he and Mondo are the only two actual designers on the show. And agreed with the WTF on Gretchen's.

Also: TAR tonight!!

OK, seriously: How would you go on TAR without being comfortable driving a standard??? I feel like that's such an achievable thing to do ahead of time! Unlike, say, learning to swim or getting over a fear of heights.

Because books.

I was just thinking that, Jesse. After all these years, you'd think people would get it: you want to go on Survivor, practice lighting a fire! You want to go on Amazing Race, learn to drive stick!

Also, not realizing that the city London is in the country England?

Wait, what?!? I'm so glad I don't watch this show anymore.

Not like they were even in London! She is incredibly stupid, but again, they seem to be able to do things as a team.

I was sad about the eliminated team.

I was sad about the eliminated team, too. They were awesome! Just bad luck, I guess, because they did seem to work together well, and they were incredibly even-tempered.

Me too, but they seemed to lack a sense of urgency once they got to England. At the outset I had them pegged as going all the way.
