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

Oh, that does make sense.

Alyssa is looking less oh-honey-no this week, think. I continue to not love the challenges. I actually like most of the dresses, but the challenge itself is, I don't know, too specific.

Aw, I like handkerchief hems.

I'm fine with the results this week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, did TAR show the wrong previouslies?

'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"

I thought that at first, but I think it was more the two week break working on my memory.

T&T went out well. I'm amazed they got to film in the Actual Blue Grotto, which is crazy, but then this is the show that managed to get a task in an Actual Pyramid.

...or it's possible I watched it and just didn't pay any attention at all.

Well, the previously included what will be one of my all-time favorite TAR shots -- the female wrestler watching the opera with her hands to her head and the most horrified expression ever on her face. You'd have thought she was seeing a seal rape a penguin or something.

The wrestlers do kinda crack me up.

I always feel bad when one task seems to just be impossible, though. Like that greased pole.

The blue grotto looked gorgeous! But dang, so much of this ep was about falling into the water! That said, they should not have been surprised Bethany can swim well--duh? She's a surfer??

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

That said, they should not have been surprised Bethany can swim well--duh? She's a surfer??

I know, right? Yes, she only has one arm. But she is also a professional athlete in a water-based sport, so...

Oh man. I'm sad the cyclists didn't make it. But really--competing against professional surfers on that fast forward? Bad plan. But clearly this episode was the "learn to trust no one" time--between the Dentists just taking the word for it that that was the earliest flight, and the Scientists believing the Wrestlers about the clue...

Also, that tightrope thing would've killed me.
