Scrappy, that is a totally awesome story! I love to hear stuff like that about shows I love.

Just catching up, so on PR, which I was trying to save to watch with the SO, but could not wait any longer! Blargh. I knew Leanne was going to win from the early shots of her collection. Which is another reason why I hated the two parter finale. Most of the suspense for me was in seeing the final collections. So having the show & the winner separated out was kind of meh for me.

Anyway I loved Korto's collection and think it's a shame she didn't win. Her design aesthetic is much more original than Leanne's, I think. Leanne's clothing was constructed basically in the normal way, just with added petals. I think it turned out lovely, but there wasn't as much that was genuinely innovative. Whereas Korto's cultural infusion brought something interesting and different to the table.

What do they mean by, overdesigned? Has stuff on it? I didn't really understand that distinction.

I wish Leanne had expanded the idea of her petals instead of making them all so consistent. If you think about waves and how some are slow and long and some are short and choppy, I think there are lots of things she could have done with that same theme, with the same base, but been lots more original. I did like her color palette when seen all together.

Nothing to say about Kenley. Nothing. Except maybe you should have checked your attitude earlier because it was the right thing to do, instead of because the person you were smarting off to was going to be a judge. Oh, I forgot you get pissy with the judges, too. Whatever. And I liked you early! Hmph.

Oh, and I cheered to see Shannon, too, yay!

Okay, on Amazing Race: So sorry for the geeks departure, not sorry for this week's. Loved Phil's dad, and loved loved the Maori warriors' dance.

The haka!! I've watched too much behind-the-scenes stuff on LotR, because that's where I first heard about it. Combine that with YouTube videos of the NZ rugby team's doing a haka before games, and I'm all up on well-done hakas.

TAR: I can't believe how big the time spread is amongst the teams - more than 9 hours at the start.

I liked that leg. Although, I cannot believe that the divorcees actually thought that they were in first place. What made them think that?

It seemed like they did a lot of different things, somehow, although it couldn't have been any more than any other leg, could it?

No, it was one detour and one road block: but there was alot of travelling.

It was a very confusing episode with them racing and passing each other and changing the lead order.

Yeah, they kept on seeing each other. I thought that was kind of fun.

I can't believe how often Tina (?) walked through that whisper chamber.

I wonder how far back Ty and Aja were- we never heard the time of their flight leaving, and we never ever saw them in the same frame as another team. I wonder if they couldn't get on a flight at all till the following day- I remember the ticket agent lady saying to the Frat Guys that that they didn't think they'd be able to get out of there "tonight" before they actually could.

ETA: Go Team Teen Wolf and Mom!!!! Boo divorcees, even though they gave the nickname.

They were at least 9 hours behind when they left the pit stop. I think that they were really almost 24 hours behind.
