Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"This guy from whatever country we are in didn't even speak English!!"

Seriously, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, the whole shrill shrieking at nationals in English thing is not improving our American tourism image.

Whoa, I just learned that Blair from Facts of Life is on Survivor, and apparently nobody recognizes her? I feel like in learning this now, I am letting down the reality tv world. I should have heard earlier!

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

One of the "old" players recognized her, but hasn't outed her yet.

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

Yeah, Michael Skupin From Survivor "Africa" recognized her.

She seems easily recognizable to me. But I used to watch the "Facts of Life."

Makes me wonder how many would recognize Danny Bonnaduce.

Oh, that's funny that the contestants don't know.

Speaking of Danny Bonnaduce, I was watching the Pyramid the other day while doing other things, so it was really like playing, since I couldn't see the categories! Anyway, the one person said, "Danny Bonnaduce..... Lindsay Lohan...." I was like, "Drug addicts????" Of course the answer was child stars.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Project Runway: I do not understand the judge's love of Fabio's collection at all. I'm glad he didn't win.

I personally didn't like his collection, but I thought that it showed the most innovation and imagination of the collections. I liked Dimitry's collection, and am okay with him winning, but it was not exciting or new.

None of the collections were that great. As TLo pointed out, five weeks to do 10 looks isn't that much better than they get during the regular season.

I maybe like Fabio the best as a person, and his collection was certainly interesting! I can't believe they didn't show any discussion of Dimitry's wackadoo hair and makeup.

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

I don't understand why Christopher was making so many new pieces at the end. I thought his problem last week wasn't that he didn't have spectacular looks it was that he didn't show them.

I liked particular looks from each collection, but I didn't love any of them as a whole. I would have been all right with any of them winning.

I don't think I can take on the All Stars.
