Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Punishingly Intricate

I don't know that Allison should win ANTM (she was way too nervous at the go-sees) but I want her to win after she did this

Winston!

Man, I watched MMaSM last night and I was so worried they were going to keep Amanda for one more week. god. what a freaking idiot.

I think the final probably deserves to be Jonathan, Jordan, & Sandhurst. But I think it may end up being Salome instead of Jordan.

I'm worried that Jonathan is going to be too upset about what's going on at home and he's going to screw up somehow.

I know Jordan is more stereotypically model-like but I hope it's either Salome or Moutaha along with those two men. Either of them is more interesting looking to me than Jordan.

Michelle Obama spotted at Good Stuff, the restaurant owned by Spike from Top Chef. Clearly, the Obamas love a good burger, as Barack and Joe Biden went to Ray's Hell Burger (another local burger joint) last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm annoyed at ANTM on principle again, for having the final challenge be a runway, when they do so little walking over the course of the season.

Holy shit, that was stressful! Haven't they sometimes had to find their way to the finish line? I mean, so that the first team to leave the last task didn't have a lock?

Also, I was really afraid Jaime and Cara were going to take off and leave Luke struggling on the task, so I was glad they didn't.

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

I just now noticed that the teams never had to drive themselves anywhere this season. I wonder if that was an editorial decision to create less drama with people not knowing how to drive stick or read maps, or if the show just couldn't afford the insurance anymore.

Regardless, I think they should have more self driving or public transport and fewer taxis, so that the race is more about competence than luck.

I agree. They could even have the teams direct drivers while looking at a map or something.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree with Jessica. The taxi nonsense is ridiculous.

Because books.

There was that one season where the cars kept breaking down on everyone, though. I wonder if that had something to do with it.
