I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

TAR: How many non-elim legs have they already had? Seems like a lot.

I was thinking the same thing. I like it, actually - makes the game less predictable.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, the snowboarders are lucky - but they are also good. That's an excellent combination.

Is anyone watching Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs? I couldn't be happier with who was kicked off last night. When I saw that he was a contestant I immediately started singing "One of these things is not like the others."

Because books.

Who was it, Rayne? I missed it the end.

Spike Mendelsohn. I could never stand him on Top Chef, and now he just seems to be jumping from reality show to reality show.

'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: I am glad that Marcus and Amani didn't get eliminated.

Didn't realize the teams included a doctor and nurse-practitioner this year.

The grandparents are incredible.

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

The Dartmouth team showed OUT tonight. Holy fuck. They were pretty great. Not tonally perfect, but great performance.

I haven't been watching it, but I felt the same way when I saw the contestant list. I knew that he wouldn't be able to hold it against real chefs.

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

The group leaving The Sing Off tonight had the BEST sing off of any group I've seen leave across all seasons. That was awesome.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I thought Pentatonix tore the house down with their Brit Brit medley. Every week, they get better and better. I also enjoyed the Dartmouth Aires take on Queen. I do think they had some pitch problems that the judges just kind of glossed over, though. Afro Blue was good on the Janet, I thought. I didn't get the whole "You're overthinking it" thing. I just think it wasn't a wow. It was an "Ok." Overall, still far and away the best singing reality show on TV.

And yeah, that sing out was pretty fun. I just wanted them to sing the "pissing the night away" line, but it's a family show.
