Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bragging about your careful attention to detail is the one thing in this race that is guaranteed to make you misread the clue. It's the TAR equivalent of luring your nemesis into your secret lair and then explaining your evil plan to them. DON'T DO IT.

True fact.

Jessica - I remembered that thing completely the other way - that as Nick and Star were speeding away from Aja and Ty - that she yelled to them to U-turn the divorcees. So - you can imagine how bitchy and manipulative I thought it was for her to say that to the Divorcee. (Also, she said it was Star that did it and others say that it was Nick.) But I still remember that Aja yelled after them and in the end - they didn't do it afterall so what was the point other than to make trouble.

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

Star asked Aja to U-Turn the divorcees when she and Nick passed them on the bikes. I'm not sure what the point of bringing it up to Kelly later was, other than nobody seems to like Star.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

From today's NYTimes article about what New Yorkers are looking forward to this fall:

My favorite thing in the fall is ice skating in the park. Central Park is the best because they also have the best hot dogs. So good! I have this friend who was born and raised in New York City and it’s our thing that we do every year. It’s so much fun. And everyone is from all over. Total New Yorkers, and Europeans, and nobody can ice skate. It’s fabulous. But I’m really good. They call me Tonya Harding.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not think this has been covered - on ANTM, Any ideas why we are not getting "My life as a covergirl" with last cycle's winner - what's-her-face? Is she locked away in rehab somewhere or what? Not that I mind getting to catch up with more past participants via the commercials, just wondering about the break in pattern.
