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!

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

Seriously

Because books.

Jeffrey seems different this season. Subdued. Nicer, even. But he's not doing very well.

Did he say he's been doing a children's line?

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

I think so.

He kind of seems like he's grown up and is not so ego-driven. Which may or may be good for his design.

A thing I liked from Sunday's TAR: How all (or most, at least) of the women who were like, "Ooh! A beauty pageant! I will kill at that!" still thought so after they learned it was camels.

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

It kind of drove home how artificial pageant standards are.

I thought Ciera voting her mom out last night was pretty big, in Survivor standards. I was wondering from the beginning if any of the couples would do that. (Or if any of them would be given the opportunity. Most were split up by other votes before the merge.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I agree, Jessica. My DH felt that Ciera was selfish and unpleasant and he really lost respect for her for doing that. I understand her strategy, myself, even though I don't think it's actually going to get her much farther in the game.

I'm not sure it will get her to the final three, but it will get her farther than she would have otherwise. With her mom around, she couldn't make any other deals - now she has room to maneuver.

I'm sure Redemption Island plays into it too - she didn't vote her mom out out.

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

OK, I just saw last week's PR (the classroom materials challenge) and I do not understand the decision to keep everyone AT ALL. WTF?
