"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, and the twins should have at least paid in Indonesian money. Looks like it's going to come up again next week. Talk about entitlement. And then there was the "we have people for that" comment about setting up the chairs and umbrellas.

'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"

You should always be suspicious when one half of a detour sounds much easier than the other, given the fiendish history of the challenge-creators. Both tasks were hard, but at least the other was no harder than it sounded, and if you knew how to put pipes together or handle a kayak and currents.

Because books.

I know I'm overtired (and sort of hormonal), but The Sing-Off just made me weepy. Oh, North Shore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Sing-Off often makes me weepy. Singing in harmony is often a great trigger for me.

So who do we like? The snowboarders?

Yes! I don't care if they lap the pack, if they keep doing it with a great attitude and actual skills.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE North Shore. Yes, definitely their worst performance, but they nailed it all of the other times. Also, I thought that Delilah sucked. when they started the song, I said "ugh, this is terrible. The lead is thin and there's no heart in it"

But, I was heartened by Afro Blue's SOUL TRAIN LINE!!!!

eta: and it was even funnier when Sean corrected Sara. This is one of the few reality shows where I really like hearing what the judges have to say.

Delilah had two good numbers and what, two, three mediocre ones? I totally would have cut them.

OH! And I really wish they had taken them out of the brackets this week -- this half is so much better than the other one! Although I'm not that sad about this elimination.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Project Runway: pretty pleased with the final four. I've had more than enough of Josh, but I didn't love Laura's collection either. I wonder if they are going to have some way of verifying that Anya does all her own sewing for Fashion Week, because you know someone is going to suggest she had help.

This season seems like it has flown by, mainly because every week I think "they haven't really hit their stride, I don't know, I guess I'll give it another week" and here we are at the finale. Or maybe it's just me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I *loved* "Video Killed The Radio Star." I just loved it.

Afro Blue - goes without saying. It is a shame that Sara B. has so little acquaintance with Soul Train because that's exactly what I thought too. Not a wedding line!

"Video Killed the Radio Star" really was great. I do love ... is it Vocal Point? "Footloose" was just fun.
