Leaving Prague to go to Las Vegas seems like my idea of being kicked out of heaven and falling into hell.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That Cirque challenge would have been damn near impossible for the Globetrotters. I suppose the rebound bounce would have been in their favor, but only if they were able to get off the ground in the first place.
Hee! Now I'm picturing them doing it by leaving the launch person out of it entirely and just using the bungees to build on their own vertical leap. Could work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just got home and ff the TiVo to see who won because I was not going to watch the episode not knowing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

With a running jump, that would have been AWESOME.

Ick. Miss America just sucks at life. Did she really just diss her husband there at the end and tell him basically not to touch her or interrupt her while she made her big plea for acceptance of their interracial love? Ewww. No. And they totally could've done that Cirque task if she hadn't acted like a whiny baby. Out of the final three teams, I'm really glad the annony-blondes won. They smoked that poker chip task, stayed focused and worked well together to the very end. I think they are one of the most dominant teams ever. Has any team in any other season won as many legs as they did leading up to taking it all in the final?
SYTYCD:
Shouldn't we be about due for All-Stars soon?
Yes, please! I can see why AI couldn't do an All-Stars. It's not like Kelly would come back on the show to battle to the death with Jordin Sparks. (Most lopsided battle EVER) But SYTYCDancers don't become superstars. They could totally come back for another season. I mean, I'm sure Sabra has free time on her calendar.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
I think Miss America's husband was about to cry, and she was telling him not to because she would break down if he did. But it's possible that I'm wrong!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, that's what I kind of thought too, but hard to know because that part seemed really chopped up.
I am just glad she got herself a husband because I'm not sure too many men would be running after her after seeing this season of TAR.

'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"
She did smoke the rappel task, though. If she could have only kept that damn focus through the bungee!
I think the key to that task was going with your momentum, like on a swing, kicking your legs at the bottom to help with the height of the second bounce -- she was being too still. Did Sam and Dan really get it on their first try?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I could not have done that task. I would have loaded Beau in the bungee and been the one to pull him back.

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

Yeah, that's how it read to me, too. I was really rooting for them at the end. Not that Megan and Cheyne have anything against them, but...ugh, another young blonde athletic couple? YAWN.
TAR needs to borrow Survivor's casting team for the next season. They need HELP.
