We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Srsly, WTFF? The two words that come to mind with Gretchen's collection are sad and wretched. As for Mondo, hello? Betsey Johnson? Patricia Field? McQueen?

As usual, I am pretty much agreeing with Tom and Lorenzo.

Art Crawl!!!

This is an excellent leg of TAR: loved the music or film choice Both options are difficult And the Babushka drag race was hilarious (Mallory is so funny - something I hadn't realized.)

'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"

Too bad the Acappella guys didn't last long enough to get the music challenge, because they'd have ruled it. But that's the nature of it when tasks are set up long in advance.

The babushka ladies were funny as hell, and so clearly enjoying themselves.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That was a terrific leg! Really well-planned challenges all around.

I was hoping we'd get to see the daddy/daughter team go (her voice makes my teeth hurt) but hey, nonelim's good too.

That's Gary and Mallory. Mallory has never had an unvoiced thought in her life, I'm convinced.

The Tattoos rose in my estimation again -- if only because the guy seems contrite about his Ghana meltdown. The other couple also seems to be making changes for the better. If this keeps up, my disbelief in people's goodness may have to change....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm surprised more teams didn't do what the Tattoos ended up doing at the music task; just concentrating on one piece at a time.

Or keep their own notes so that they know that Piano #3 is NOT doing Song #2.

They were all trying to rush through it... which if you don't have a classical-music-educated ear just isn't going to work.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I can see getting caught up in the rush, rush, rush when there were multiple teams in the room, running from piano to piano and being able to solve the challange. With all that going on, it is difficult to step back and come up with a different approach.

I'm glad they didn't self implode and were able to finish that task and work through the others. Will see how they do with next week's speed bump. They will probably have to sit in a massage chair and endure a 10 minute massage before they can continue on.
