Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Because books.

I missed the beginning -- why were Brian and Erika allowed back in?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allowed back into what? The Race? The Poker Players were out last time.

Why did I think they were out? I knew the Poker Girls quit, but for some reason I had it in my head that Brian and Erika were out before that.

I need to, like, pay attention. Clearly.

They had the penalty at the last check-in, but still beat Maria and what's her name.

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

Oh man, putting this challenge on a nonelim is just brutal.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I am so happy that was a non-Elim leg. And may they never do that hay bale thing again.

I was relieved that it was a non-elim- it's such a heart- (and back-) breaking task which is so luck oriented.

Also, re: Next Iron Chef: Noooooooooo! I loved her. Wah.

I was worried it was going to play out like last time and the gap between first and last place would be something like 10 hours.

I am VERY annoyed with the "must fly nonstop" rule this season. I know the producers wanted less airport drama but COME ON. IT IS A TRAVEL COMPETITION. MAKE THEM COMPETE AT TRAVELING.

I know it's a really backbreaking task, but seeing Meghan just fall apart after two hours while I remember the woman back in TAR6 go for 10 hours without melting down once...well, it was not a good comparison. Of course, if it was me out there, I would have been melting down with Meghan.
