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

Emilio's outfits were great, and they were styled impeccably. Emilio strikes me as having great taste and skill, but being a pain to work with.

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

Yeah, he was the clear winner this week. Gorgeous.

TAR: All the teams are so nice and so worthy of winning. I loved it when they all cheered when Team Gay Goat Farmers caught up with the pack after how many days?

My love for the Twinnies is only slightly dimmed by their non-preparation to drive stick-shift. Perhaps I'm distracted by wondering where the producers turned up enough non-automatic Ford Foci....

Art Crawl!!!

I know - we've got an excellent top four this season.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I like liking all of them!

My love for the Twinnies is only slightly dimmed by their non-preparation to drive stick-shift.

It's classic them, though -- they've said before how they basically underprepare for everything in life and somehow it works out.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, their story about the tennis lessons made me laugh.

TAR producers, though - what the hell with getting all the way to final four before they have to drive themselves anywhere?

I think the producers try to do a bit of mixing it up -- the first few seasons were all too reliant on making the contestants climb, descend or jump off of high things.

But driving themselves is something that definitely has to stay in, though I suppose it's a mercy when it's in a country where the signs are not in a non-Roman alphabet, and the chances that contestants have at least had a little exposure to Spanish are good.

There's also the liability involved. I can remember one season where there was an all-night drive across France, IIRC, and it's a wonder there haven't been more accidents.

Why does Christina sound like she's threatening Terry?

Yeah, ridiculous. And I'm shocked that I'm rooting for the Chippendales to win! And annoyed at the twins.

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

Dylan is completely in love with the twins and gets very concerned every time they fall behind. So for his sake I'm still rooting for them.
