I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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

Me too. (But have none of these people ever been to a wedding?)

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

Sunday night live television is Mad Men & Game of Thrones - TAR has to wait.

'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"

Nice guys do win, sometimes. Loved the remark that they'd had plenty of time on plane flights to learn geography from staring at maps. :-)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, hockey boys!

Although also agree about the dining and the color chartreuse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm kind of amazed they can do any mental tasks at that point, frankly.

I felt really bad for everyone, they were clearly mentally exhausted. Definitely glad the hockey guys won, but I wasn't super excited, because it was more that I was rooting against the other teams than rooting for hockey guys.

I didn't dislike the roller derby moms, but they were not built up by the producers to stand out in much of any way.

I would have loved for the roller derby moms to win, but as long as it wasn't Max and Katie, I'm satisfied. The hockey boys are fine, but yawn, another athletic white male team.

The athleticism was definitely a plus for them, but they did have to draw on a whole lot of smarts and ingenuity and resourcefulness.

I suppose as hockey players, they'd not only traveled a whole lot before, but had to switch from Travel Mode to Play Mode really quickly, or they wouldn't have lasted long professionally. And I bet they both fall asleep at will.

(Speaking of which -- on America's Worst Tattoos the other week, one of the remedial tattooees FELL ASLEEP while he was being worked on. Without, you know, any evidence of substances helping him along.)

Because books.

The Voice: Holy crap, Sasha was outrageous doing "Oh, Darling."

The youngest girl, the one on Blake's team, is also really good.
