We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

TAR: Good move on Luke's part, as much as I like Amanda and Kris. They were a very strong team, so U-turning them was smart. I cannot believe that the stunt brothers ran out of money--they've got to be stingier in the future! And next week's ep looks completely gratuitous. T&A for everyone to see!

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

I am in a surprising position that I do not wish any team on the season's TAR any specific harm. Though if Victor pulls his crazy control freak/passive aggressive crap again, that may change. And that is the real truth flavor.

Yeah, I'm liking these racers overall. Even the pretty teams, such as the flight attendents and the cheerleaders, are growing on me. I liked the cheerleaders boasting how no boys helped them stack the wood--"Girls rule, boys drool!"

I laughed when the stunt guys' cabbie pointed out that the watch they were trying to give him with what money they had was nowhere as good as his Rolex.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's like this year's Top Chef -- I wasn't root against anyone, so it was nice to see a lot of people doing well.

Who was the third person Mike said Mel was? _______, with a little Billy Graham and a little Judy Garland? (Was it even Judy Garland, or am I just stereotyping? It was some gay icon....)

Woody Allen? Someone funny? I want to put it in my Facebook status!

Art Crawl!!!

It was Woody Allen.

I think u-turning Amanda and Kris was a smart move. And we've got three all female teams left! And no more couples. It's kind of amazing.

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

TAR: Good move on Luke's part, as much as I like Amanda and Kris. They were a very strong team, so U-turning them was smart.

It was smart, but I would have preferred to see the stunt men gone because they apparently SUCK AT DOING EVERYTHING. It's kind of unbelievable how many things they did wrong this leg.

(In principle, I'm glad to see all the young white couples eliminated, but also in principle, I'd rather the most competent teams make it to the finals. So I have competing principles here.)

Punishingly Intricate

I had to fast forward through much of TAR because I was so anxious about Mel & Mike maybe getting eliminated! I realized after that I never understood the bobsled challenge because I ff'ed through the instructions. What was the point of it? Finding the letters in Chekhov's name? or did they just have to find letters and then figure out whose name they were spelling?
