They went to Brazil! Where? Man, I am so jealous that I missed this. I will have to see if I can find it online. TAR is the one reality TV show that I could see myself doing. Joe and I would be an awesome team.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I had such hopes for the hippies! They were fit! They chop their own wood! They should have been okay. Ah well, farewell sources for future "that'll give you, um, bees" jokes.
I was disappointed, because when Glasses Girl spoke the language well I wanted to like them. But seriously, total control freak! And the "talk to me" bit was so ridiculous. You spend so little time actually together with the other teams I think it's advantageous for her to talk to them when they can.
I thought Team Cheating Heart was going to be pissed when referred to as Mom & Dad, but they just accepted it. Their alliance is going to be so sad when Mom & Dad inevitably break up on the road.
Oh, and there was the obligatory "you're the one that's supposed to speak Spanish" when entering the not-Spanish-speaking country.
We seriously need a Buffistas team. We would kick ass with our navigational skills and our savvy and our grace under pressure skills. The geeks will have to stand in for us. I loved their jacket tactic, and that they seem ready to tackle whatever comes their way. I hope they hang in.
Noticed there wasn't a preppie young all guy team this time, so it'll have to be a preppie young mixed team that wins. Not as heavy on the racial mixture either, and the one old team is already gone.

I read this as "preppie young all gay team," and realized that there wasn't one of those, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! No, there's not, huh?
Also, re Top Chef: Can it be? A season with no fauxhawk?

Punishingly Intricate
There's a chef from B'more this season! Not that I've been to the restaurant (really more like a dance club) where she's chef in years.

I'm glad we finally get a season w/o a fauxhawk. Perhaps that trend is FINALLY dead.

Of course, Hat Guy could have a fauxhawk under that driving cap.

PR: So far, I like the assignment and I can't wait to see the dresses on the runway.
I wonder if it would have been better for Kenley to have needed to persevere without the tulle.

Wow. I didn't like any of the dresses.
Maybe it's just feeling kind of crappy - but I didn't like any of them.
Can you believe how irritated Heidi is with Kenley? (And totally understandably so.)
