Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Damnit! 'Bye'bye, Goths, I'll miss you. Why oh why couldn't they u-turn the whiners!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right?!?
Kynt and Vyxsin are so adorkable. I wish they had won.
Although, I just realized tonight that because he's Southern, he really thinks Kynt sounds the same as Kent.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Nooooooooooooo!
Damnit damnit damnit.
They ran a great leg, too - to make 2 mistakes and still end up that close.

And with the yoga break!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Terrible. I really wish they'd u-turned the right team, the team they knew to be behind them. I don't really get why they made the decision they did. 'Cause the whiners would have totally imploded to be u-turned. They were self-destructive the whole time, but they were rewarded. Feh.
Adored the yoga break. Adored that they loved the yoga break!
I would definitely have strung the flowers. Wonder what happens to Team Mellow next leg?

Team Mellow
I did think they were about to tell the wedding party to chill out, man. They seemed a little taken aback by the lack of mellow.
Also, Jen is such a fucking idiot -- did she not know what a bridegroom is? Did she think in India elephants get married? I mean, seriously, WTF.

CourtTV is changing their name to TruTV.
TruTV's identity will be fast-moving programming that tells real stories about real people. There's such a glut of reality programming with a wide range of styles that truTV is making an explicit point of rejecting the term.
TruTV isn't reality, its new slogan states. It's actuality.
"Reality has a connotation of not being real, of being phony," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager of truTV. "We felt that because (our programming) was real, we couldn't call it reality."[link]
You can't make this stuff up.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'm finding TK and Rachel's level of mellow increasingly hilarious. I mean, boring, but hilarious. Also much preferable to the Amazing Showboating Hippies from a few seasons back.

Exactly! WTF d'you mean, do I give it to the elephant? And her delivery recipient totally saved her ass, "Did you forget something?" where the Kynt's didn't correct him, although I'm willing to bet they knew what they were supposed to do, just went along with him since he was trying to be so solicitous.
I liked the showboating hippies, and I like TK & Rachel. But they crack me up sometimes.
