Yeah, I would have to learn how to drive stick and I would need to learn to ride a bicycle. I would be fine jumping out of planes and whatnot, and then I would be standing next to my bike crying. Oh, and to scuba. I can't dive. I'm naturally buoyant.

The other thing is we're pretty good these days about travel and navigating and everything, but that all depends on us having portable internet access everywhere we go. I was less calm in the travel days before that was available, and I would be less calm if it was taken away from me.

ALSO how insulting is it to have an Italy driving-centered episode which is the FORD product placement episode? Really?

The Voice: I felt sorry for Sara (h?) and the curly haired baker guy last night. They might as well have had "cannon fodder" or "red shirt" stamped on their foreheads.

right?

I loved the sandwich guy. He was outgunned for real, but he seemed like a really cool dude and his singing "partner" seemed to love him to death.

He did seem very cool.

I missed the guy with the hair, but I really liked Sarah over the other girl. That was a bummer. I was thrilled Adam kept Kim, though. She so deserved to stay.

The Voice: Yeah, I definitely liked Sarah over the other girl. I liked her stylistically, I thought she was much more versatile, and I disliked the way the other girl refused to take direction.

That was the only decision I really disagreed with, though, over the whole battle rounds thing so far. Some of the others I was sad at, like, I liked both the preachers' kid and the single dad last week, and paired up against anybody else I think they both would have gone through. But in the end, I still agreed with all the decisions. Except Sarah, because she's awesome.

Top Shot: Man, that Greg is a self-destruct machine. It's a shame blue team managed to pull it out because surely he would be gone now. I was sorry to see Iggy go, but I like Tim, so I'm glad he stayed. That was a tough challenge. I realize they said not to try it at home, but I would totally rig up a fake moving pirate ship in my yard to shoot through the porthole if I could.

Next week? Atlatl!

ANTM: Cat Deeley!!!

Still wack drama-wise, but a great challenge.

So last night I was thinking I don't mind how stupid the Speed Bumps are... and then I realized that's probably only because I was happy to see the last-place team get a shot at not being eliminated this week.

Ha, totally true for me too.

I would also like to say that this season's McBickersons are not bickering in a way that is entertaining at all. It is just hard to watch and they should go home and get actual couples' therapy.
