Because books.

It's always so good to see Phil. How do you pronounce his last name?

Man, I thought for sure the showgirls were out before they even made it to LAX, talk about lucky! They owe those guys. So far nobody is really irritating, but from the previews it looks like a lot of teams run into trouble next week. I can't believe that there is bungee jumping in a mall, Taipei how cool are you?

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

Twitter FTW! Even just a few seasons ago, that would have cost them the race for sure.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I recently read Tim Gunn's book on his golden rules - seemingly he has a problem with parents who come to him with a story about how their child is a fashion genius and MUST be on Project Runway ... said child being, well, a child of anywhere from 12 to 15. And won't take the answer that there's an age requirement as a reason why they shouldn't.

sumi - if that's in response to my post, it was in a chapter titled "The World Owes You ... Nothing". With a number of examples of people who don't grasp this concept.

'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"

TAR: saved by the hashtag!

I liked the first place couple -- laughed at her comment about never feeling so Asian.

The Confucian saying task would have stymied me because my audial processing is so poor. But I would have started saying the words along with the telephone recording until I got it straight. It doesn't bode well for the Twins that they were flustered so bad, so early.
