I haven't watched much of PR this season, I didn't like Korina's reaction. I kind of liked some of the looks and Shar (Char?) doesnt' know how to ew so that's an issue.
But stuff like that goes down all the time and I really thought Korina was just going to walk out at some point.
I thought Korina and Emily's clothes were better constructed but I'm not a judge.
Plus I thought they were going to eliminate both of them, I would have.
TAR -- loved the Seargeant Major (or whatever his rank was) and his reactions to the teams' attempts. At one point we ran the TiVo back so that we could really appreciate his mini-rant "if you continue to ignore my Yoda-like advice..."
It was obvious that some teams were more punting-challenged than others. I'm guessing that it was partially upper-body strength (the firefighters seemed to be lapping the other teams, and the UberDentists did it twice and still finished second) but I also wonder how much prior boat-handling experience was helpful.

Yeah, I think if you're not used to handling currents that would have been incredibly difficult.

I liked Korina/Emily's clothes better on the runway, but as soon as all three models were standing next to each other it was so obviously a hot mess. Still, I thought Char would go home for boring & bad construction. I didn't think it was close enough for a sew-off.
My favorite part was Heidi and Sean making faces at each other while Korina was ranting.
Korina is a piece of work. I do think Char should have gone home, but now I'm glad she won the sew-off. The Sean probably had something to do with that.
Sean had a lot to do with it, but Char did have the sense to pick good fabric for an hour challenge. Korina's often gone wrong at choosing fabric - she probably shouldn't have been the one to go to Mood for her team, really.
I was disappointed that the flight attendant mom and daughter on TAR were falling apart so bad. Also OMG WTF with the peeing!?!?!?
Oh yeah, with the peeing. (If you're absolutely going to do it, jump off the boat and hunker down in the opaque water, please.)
Also OMG WTF with the peeing!?!?!?
I think because they are superfans, the daughter remembers that season where the African American sisters team got eliminated because one of them had to stop to pee on the way to the pit stop. She was probably thinking, "No way is that going to happen to me." But I agree that melting down this early is worrying. What happens when you get to India and Killer Fatigue is setting in?
I am liking the season so far. I still don't like the Dentists but I give it to them. They are very strong competitors. I love the Soul Surfers. They just seem like genuinely lovely people. They work well together and they enjoy the race. I guess surviving your arm getting bitten off in such spectacular fashion will bring some perspective to your life.
So Twitch is going to be in the new Magic Mike movie. I didn't need another reason to see it, but that certainly is one.
