Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I really like "How To Look Good Naked!" It's like the best parts of the original British What Not To Wear -- I always loved when Trinny and Susanah got in the 360 with the woman in her knickers.
This kind of show does always make me want to go get fitted for a $50 bra.

From the Reality Wanted interview with Kynt and Vyxsin:
A. Vyxsin: We tried to get ourselves in a more physical mindset. As viewers have seen many of the amazing race casts are the outdoor sporty types. Kynt and I don’t spend much time doing those things, though we did some physical prep work prior to leaving for the show.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Did you guys start running or hiking?
A. Vyxsin: We actually spent time with my dad. My dad was in the army and ran Kynt and I through some army training drills, obstacle courses, rock climbing, repelling, etc.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Wow, very cool that your dad helped you both out. I know you can’t tell me now but I am sure we will see how it helped you guys during the show.
A. Vyxsin: It was great to have that preparation. We actually took Kynt camping for the first time. It helped my dad and Kynt bond since my dad was wary of Kynt. Training helped bring them closer together and it was also great for Kynt and I. The whole time we have been together we have not done normal couple stuff like biking or walking in the park. It was great to connect in another way.

You guys have convinced me to try On Demand for the first time...except then "How To Look Good Naked" isn't showing up for me! It's telling me it has video problems! (BBCAmerica On Demand works fine though. Hrm)

Hey, they've been advertising an ICA battle between Batali and Jamie Oliver and it's new - I thought that Food Network was dumping Batali?

I thought that it was an old battle.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Batali's in the intro for the current season, but I haven't seen him battle yet. I read something a few weeks ago where he basically said that he was way too good for the Food Network, but was staying on as an Iron Chef as a HUGE FAVOR.

TAR is scheduled to start 30 minutes later than usual - I suppose that's if there aren't any football delays. (Longer with delays.)

Thanks for the heads-up, sumi! I should check to see if my Tivo knows.
