"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.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, I was rooting for Ericka and Brian this final episode too . They had the knowledge! They were the only ones who knew that Monte Carlo was the answer - but Meghan and Cheyne played well despite messing up Monte Carlo at first.

'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"

I also admire Cheyne for keeping his eyes shut nearly all the way down the damn rappel -- talk about working through your fear!

Because books.

Is it pronounced "Shane," though? Because every time I looked at the screen, I wanted to say "Chain."

I'm just glad Sam and Dan didn't win. Talk about whiny and irritable. The one (Dan?) was even worse than Erika.

They were bad sports, which is way worse in my book than being incompetent.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, they were. I am very happy that they didn't win.
