'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"

The race car task is one of those that is deceptively hard -- coming right off an adrenaline-inducing descent and right out into a car going seriously fast. Not the best headset for being observant and having a working memory.

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

coming right off an adrenaline-inducing descent and right out into a car going seriously fast

I'm sure I would have made the same mistake as several of the teams, seeing only the first name/time combo and assuming that was the answer.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

It was funny that Travis, the only one who got the answer on the first lap, was bummed he didn't have to go around again.

I thought so too, Nora! It was also funny when he was so guilty about snapping at his wife during the task.

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

So the Bad Idea Bears visited the Voice again, huh?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Seriously. Instant Twitter save? Umm, no. I'd rather have to deal with Christina Milian in the skybox again than that. So stupid.

Also, I cannot believe that all three of Blake's people were safe. That's just some cult of personality voting right there. I will be upset if he wins it all again this season.

Team Tessanne and Matthew. Jacqui will be good in a couple of years, now she's just kind of a -bot. Y'all know how I feel about 16 year olds on my singing competition shows.

I just can't believe they got all the way to air without realizing/caring that a) they were going to piss off a lot of people on the West Coast, and b) they were doing it in a way that made it easy for people to complain.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm sure they weren't concerned. I mean, the West Coast is not even Real America. We're just the weird cousin, kinda like Balki on Perfect Strangers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Project Runway is some kind of bullshit. Just let Jeffrey go home, for crying out loud!
