Art Crawl!!!

I can't believe I started to like Lorena and then she and Jason got eliminated. It's almost Minearesque. Did the blondes really not know that they were an hour ahead of them?

I was very worried about TK and Rachel because I like them.

Project Runway: OMG, Carmen and Christian totally brought out the worst in each other. They each should have been working with somebody NOT totally fixated on the 80s. And that cave woman outfit was just tragic. Meanwhile, SJP was an excellent guest judge: knowledgable, kind and articulate. They should have her back.

I love Kynt and Vixen tool (Does Vixen's name have more other vowels in it?)

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, does the Ethiopian sister who's name I can't remember have some kind of real issue with the physical tasks and running? Or was that her brother being a dick about her being a girl?

I think he was being an asshat big brother.

Oh, in crazy Stunt-casting news: Heidi Klum is going to be on HIMYM tonight. I'm sure you've seen the ads.

I did like how Carmen & Christian worked together though, even if the outcome was kind of tragic.

I squeeled almost as loudly as the contestants with the SJP reveal. And she seemed so genuinely into it and sad that someone had to be eliminated.

Trust my rage

I thought Vixen had a yk instead of the x but now it looks wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Vyxsin, I think.

Oh, does the Ethiopian sister who's name I can't remember have some kind of real issue with the physical tasks and running? Or was that her brother being a dick about her being a girl?

She said she has a "gimpy leg," didn't she? I think he said she has "physical limitations," and she laughed and was like, "Limitations? I run slow as shit with this gimpy leg!" Or something.

Meanwhile, SJP was an excellent guest judge: knowledgable, kind and articulate. They should have her back.

Yeah, she was great. But apparently traumatized by the whole judging thing. According to the interview on Andy Cohen's blog.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm not surprised. She looked upset at the final judging.

'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"

Re Amazing: I'm also pleased that so much of the tasks meant involvement in the local culture and local people (loved the judges), and that they stuck around in the same country for a second episode.

Also, no chickens were squashed or left on top of a taxi or something.
