I find Alex and Lynn to be pretty assy, so I was pleased they were gone. Gretchen really bugged me at the beginning, but they crack me UP- they aren't warm and fuzzy oldsters. they are cranky and funny and snappish and I think pretty tough. (I have no idea why I whitefonted that last bit, oh well). I find the teams in the end stretch, so much more palatable than the last go-around. It's SO much more fun to watch. Also, I love me some Boston Rob, so it's fun on that level as well. I totally heart Joyce & Uchenna. Also, they are both Teh Hott.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
GG last night was curiously flat. The whole Paris thing was frankly watch-from-the-hall moment for me. WTF? And the hints at L/L fallout seemed heavy-handed to the extreme. As for the Logan/Rory bit... well, color me unsurprised.
Veronica Mars, on the other hand, continues to rock my world in all the best ways. It's my favorite thing on TV right now, and it kills me that so few people are watching. Although, second season, yay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is Dean really that stupid?
I'd have to say yes. I need him to be gone from the show, like, months ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Still, he looks good in that shirt.
Luke looks good, period.

I wish I could be less shallow, but I've wanted Gretchen & Meredith eliminated for WEEKS now, purely on the basis of her voice. The constant whiny screeching is just too much. I think they've been very good racers, but OH MY GOD THAT VOICE.

Jessica, I'm worse than you - take all you said, but I don't think they have been that good. I think she is pretty bad in fact and they have gotten lucky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of voice (and I'm not saying which whitefont does), as I was listening to an especially grating voice the other day, I was trying to work out if the voice grates because I dislike the person, or I dislike the person because the voice grates. I'm going with a), just because I've never stopped liking a person because I heard their voice.
Still, it just channels a lot into the aural response, and it makes me want to dismember.

It's OK, I can stand alone in my Gretchen & Meredith grudging admiration. They aren't that great, but they are still there. Doesn't mean much other than their dumb mistakes were less dumb or at less crucial points than other teams' dumb mistakes, but I still kind of like them. I'll probably be like her when I get to be that age.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I do. LOVE that show.
