TAR: I know! I can't believe that they picked that flight when the other flight -- that most of the teams got on was not that much later. Also, how is it that Charla and Mirna were the only ones to get on that first flight? And, it didn't matter because the cookie task took them so long that they wound up behind anyway.

Also, I thought that the BQs used the Yield very well and using the Yield is in NO WAY cheating! (That's for Eric and Danielle and Charla and Mirna who were so self-righteous about NOT using the yield. I wonder if this means that they use one next time around?)

I can also vouch that Deb's house is very well filtered despite the abundance of cats.

TAR: I know it shouldn't, but Danny and Oswald's hating you kind of made me giggle.

Okay, HEPA's on the list.

Good list, not like Pete's list.

So this guy stuck a digital video camera in a blender: [link]

Kinda' fun to see the camera record (the beginnings of) its own destruction.

A while back I posted the 300 preview with the kittens. This is even funnier: The PG version of the 300 trailer: [link]

TAR: I'm more than a little tired of people using simple elements of the game being accused of cheating. Even though I really dislike the BQs. And I'm a more than a little sad that there is no one left that I like besides Oswald and Danny. Naturally I agree that "Hating You" was perfect.

It really was, Megan. I really hope they win.

It's the Emeline show, starring Emeline!

ita, I have a bad dust mite allergy. Here's a good list of ways to avoid dust mites (from the Mayo Clinic): [link]

I have to warn against any of the ionic filters for dust mites--they don't help--but a good HEPA filter can make all the difference. The one I have is mad expensive but filters like a mofo and allows me to be in my house without taking Claritan all the time.
