I would like an LAista movie outing for this, I think.

I'm kat perez and I approve this message!

'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"

Note to self: if competing on TAR, do not ask for directions in a bar. Not that the firefighters would have lasted with an ankle that injured.

And my rules about dealing with animals on tasks is vividly illustrated by the sheep herding challenge, where the people who yelled and ran just extended their misery, whereas ambling, whispering, and gently waving arms got the sheep behaving.

The dentists, alas, remain uber-competent. (The guy has probably got spreadsheets detailing various approaches to past challenges on TAR. Spreadsheets!)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

PR: I am shocked that Charkita made it to fashion week.

Because books.

I'm sort of shocked, too. That said, I feel like I know what I would have seen from Emily, and I have no idea what Char will show.

Korina, wow. I guess that's not really violating a contract -- I mean, it's "reality" TV -- but I've never seen someone be so petty and self-centered. I can't imagine anyone, viewers and producers alike, would want her back for an All Stars season now, either.

The five looks chosen seemed odd, though. Why wasn't Alexander's there, when he went home long after Mitchell? Or were the producers choosing based on the kind of losing looks available, rather than just chronologically?

Also, I want Amanda's dress so much it HURTS. I love it like cake.

If Korina was pissed before she must be spitting nails now!

I never get Amanda's stuff. That dress looked like a mess to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think you'll get some buy-in!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

TAR: The continued competence of the Dentists is extremely frustrating and yet, I have to grudgingly give it up to them. My dad used to always say, "It ain't bragging if you can back it up", which he can get away with because he's from Texas, and I suppose that applies here. They are good. I'm glad that the Soul Surfer and her man also seem good, too, because I'd much rather see them win.

That sheep task would've driven me crazy. It was a toughie. And we got sheep and ponies. I love when TAR breaks out the animal tasks. Always searching for that "My ox is BROKEN!" magic.

"My ox is BROKEN!"

That may be the single greatest moment on TAR.

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

Really? I don't see why it's good. It looks shapeless and more like inside lounge wear than street chic to me. I liked her redo of Fade's look, though. Loved Kini's redo, but not so much the denim. I actually really liked Char's street look. It'll be interesting to see what she can do with more time. Did not care for either of Emily's, although I'll try to remember to google for her in the future, see what she's doing. Sean's redo was a big improvement over the original, but I still didn't like it and the white look I liked the idea of but the finished outfit seemed, I don't know, disposable to me.

Me and the judges, so not on the same page. That said, I would have been pleased if they'd gone ahead and said there were only 3 finalists, for once.

Please just stop with the damn "why should you move forward" bit! I hate it so much.
