Ooh, that's exciting Bon Bon! (Why does my phone auto-capitalize that??)

What kind of reality show? Will you be able to tell us later so we can watch and giggle at bob bob?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So fun! I'm still upset Law & Order decided not to use my apartment that one time....

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

I will clue you in when it airs!

Yes! I'm only one degree of separation from being a reality TV star!

The Face Off finale was great! Fantastic makeups across the board and an action packed fight scene.

I am intrigued by this Return of the Champions concept for January.

'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"

All things considered, making it halfway through the Amazing Race is a grand accomplishment, as it's a damn tough experience.

What we have left are some very good competitors. On paper, Tim and Tejay (the gay college sweethearts) may look like the weakest team, but they seem to have energy and endurance, smarts, and emotional maturity. Along with the surfers, they're most like to actually enjoy what they're doing and where they're going.

Most ingenious competitor ever may go to the surfer girl. Yeah, she's had a long time to cope with the loss of an arm, but thinking o/n/ to use your feet to steady up the frame like that is just above and beyond clever, under pressure.

Best spontaneous utterances from wrestler woman crossing the sky bridge. I myself might not have said it out loud, but by damn that's what I'd be thinking.

Every time, I'm thinking about whether/how I would do the tasks, and OMG that zipline one would not be a fave. Eek. Very impressed by Bethany, want to hug Tim and Tejay, still hate the dentists SOOOO MUCH.

I feel like the Sweet Scientists, Tim and Tejay, and the Wrestlers are all similarly weak, and the other three teams are all pretty strong. But anything can happen, of course...

I was glad to hear that the surfers are being thoughtful about having Bethany do challenges when they can, so if/when they get to one she can't do, she doesn't have to.

The ziplines we did were a little easier to mentally approach, because they were through woods, so there were trees you went past and a better feel for the height. The ones they had were just out into the middle of the air! (Great views, though, I'm sure.) Having done it once, I know I could again, maybe with my eyes shut. :-)

The Surfers remind me of Kris and Jon, just so lovely and competent and seemingly a wonderful couple. Of course, Kris and Jon didn't win it all, so here's hoping they can get a different result.

If we could get rid of the dentists, I'd be perfectly happy with any of the other teams winning. Those Dentists are really good racers, though. Drat.

Is anyone watching Project Runway All Stars? I'm enjoying the lineup of designers. I'm so glad to see Chris March again and I forgot how much I liked Fabio. Some really nice looks in both collections.

I'm sorry, I just cannot put my faith in Ivanka Trump as a judge. So relieved that Alyssa has started introducing Georgina Chapman as "designer" instead of "gorgeous". That irritated me show after show last All Star season.
