And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And there have definitely been teams in the past who learned stuff from books in the airport -- they always have time sitting around, so why not use it.
EXACTLY. Or if you don't want to bother getting releases from people, buy a cheapo phrase book.

'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"
Remember, we're seeing a highly edited version of what they do, so all four teams could be chattering away in bunches of situations that we never see.
I felt bad for Kisha -- all the teams are hitting their breaking points, which was last week for Jen, and Luke and Margie too. And arguably T&V's bad attempts at the diving were also symptomatic.
(And points to Tammy for thinking ahead and taking swimming lessons. I bet she also brushed up on her stick shift skills....)
Is this the only season where the final four teams are all blood relatives? I find myself liking all of them, though some more than others. :-)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't think the cheerleaders were blood relatives. Although, that might explain a lot.

Oh, damn, you're right. I was thinking of Mel and Mike, and the stuntmen brothers. D'Oh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The cheerleaders just have the same hair color.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Awesome. One of the Jade episodes of ANTM is on Oxygen right now.

Because books.
Aw, I'm enjoying standards night on Idol! Kris was great -- I think he's a real dark horse in this.
I am, I think, finally over Simon. I used to enjoy him, but now every word out of his mouth seems designed to showcase his own savviness, his own cynicism.
I ... may have caught on a little late, I know.

I like Simon in small doses. I wish they'd go back to having only two of them evaluate per song.
I love Danny and Adam, tonight. Matt should be going this week.
