I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Yeah, I would have been seriously pissed off if they'd been able to catch up.

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

I kinda liked that they showed Nick'n'Vick doing their speed bump even if they ended up bypassing the other challenges. Washing a tank. Priceless.

'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"

At least it looks like they did all the tasks, instead of Nick going on another all-day hissy fit!

I wonder what the next season announcement is going to be? Celebrity Amazing Race? Another family season? All female teams? All teams from "New Jersey"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was kind of amazing to me how much fun most of the teams seemed to be having on that leg. Maybe knowing that Nick and Vicki were basically out of it took the pressure off for everyone including them?

Art Crawl!!!

Must be it. I need Nat and Kat or Brooke and Claire to win!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tabitha's Salon show is on again and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Tabitha is my catharsis for real.

I just about died in last night ep when she showed up in her pajamas and they were all in pink. Tabitha says: did you think I sleep in black at night too?

And I'm thinking: "uh, yeah."

I know I'm misspelling her name!

Because books.

Anybody watch The Sing-off last night? Fun.

TV Guide isn't showing The Fashion Show on tonight. Why?! I need Iman and Isaac to be fabulous on my TV tonight.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Is The Sing-Off the a capella one? That did look like a lot of fun.

Because books.

It is! Nicole "Pussycat Dolls" Whatsherface is sort of a waste as a judge, but Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman are good. And the groups were a lot of fun.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sing-Off: I did watch the Sing-Off and it was so much fun! I am glad the Berklee group is off because that was a whole giant smear of white privilege entitlement if I've ever seen it. Which is a shame and makes me worry, because Berklee's a great music school and I sometimes recommend it to my students. Hmph.

The old school group made me all teary. And the gospel boys tore it up, even though I was wincing all the way up to it. Also liked: the jazz group, the Yale group in their white gloves but I was so glad Stockman called them on the "we invented it" bullshit and I was glad they took it well when he did.

It's on again Wednesday? What's the format? I don't understand. It somehow slipped entirely past my radar during its first season. But I really enjoyed this episode. So much fun.
