'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"

Yep, also that it was not a treasure hunt task -- you'd think after the sandcastle task last episode, the teams might have learned.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Exactly. A needle-in-a-haystack task again except this time underwater. That sounds awful! I would've stayed far, far away from that task.

I think the twins went out in a very class way. Still not disliking anyone except for the newlyweds. I feel for poor cancer dad and son. Ruptured Achilles tendon? Ouch! That is a terrible way to go out. I hope if they are forced out of the competition, the show offers them a chance to come back and compete again next season (or whenever cancer dad's tendon recovers). Has anyone ever been forced out of TAR by a medical emergency before? We are 22 seasons in, so it seems like it should've happened at least once but somehow I don't think it ever has.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now that's the truth! Especially those two guys! Poor twin doctors. I mean, at least they get to go home and still be twin doctors...

The Evil Newlyweds are the worst! I hope they are doing this on purpose to be tv characters, because living your life ascribing negative intentions to everyone else's every move must be exhausting. ("They're following us!" Um, really? You're close together and going to the same place. That's not the same thing.)

I don't do Dancing with the Stars because my watch from the hall-meter goes up way too high in the early rounds when there are tons of "celebrities" on the show who can't dance at all (I'm looking at you, Master P!) but apparently Lindsey from S9 SYTYCD is going to be a new pro on the show this season. Personally, I'd have gone with Witney instead. Firecracker! Ah, well.

They keep acting like they're in a spy movie. Relax, people.

I'm glad the twins at least tried the task. I really thought they were going to give up in the beginning, which is just so wrong. It's Amazing Race! What's with all the people happily taking penalties this season?

I love the hockey players. They must be total hell-raisers during games.

Yeah, I was like "seriously boys? Come ON!"

I also would be bitter if I'd been on last seasons' slog through the heat and humidity of the third world dealing with like, rats and construction, and saw these folks getting to do fun shit in Bora Bora! Man.

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

Face Off's Foundation Challenge this week was very cool - making them do a bunch of extras in a limited time was a great idea.

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

I agree wholeheartedly.

I'm pleased with the results, too. I've been wanting that person gone for weeks, and the winning werewolf was my favorite.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I finally got a chance to watch the Top Chef finale last night. I liked both Kristin and Brook, so I didn't really care who won, but I thought it was just plain silly that the show was trying to ratchet up the tension over who won the 4th course, when there so little time before end of the show that it was totally obvious that there wasn't going to be a fifth course.
