"We have trust issues." Mylar

Whoot! Best final three of TAR evah!!!!

So perfect that Nate and Jen go out screaming and bickering on a Taipei bus to nowhere. And that little after interview was sooo Dawson's Creek I couldn't stand it. Although, I guess it's good that they know that the relationship . . . she is dead.

I would really be incredibly happy with any of these three teams winning. BUT, I will do a little jig if Nick and Don somehow manage to come out on top. Don climbing up that ice wall. Dude! He is a frikkin stud.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah that exit speech - you'd almost think they'd gone on a show called The Amazing Race, rather than The Amazing Couples Therapy. Wonder how that happened?

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

Don climbing up that ice wall

Well, you know, when he was in the Navy...

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

I don't care who wins, but in an awesome way!

I know! I'm so excited for the finale now!!

you'd almost think they'd gone on a show called The Amazing Race, rather than The Amazing Couples Therapy.

Funny how that works out, ain't it? DEAR EVERYONE EVER, TAR WILL NOT FIX YOUR RELATIONSHIP. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.

(Except, oddly enough, in the case of Ron & Chris, but since it's not like they can quit being father and daughter after the race, it's a whole different kind of thing.)

And yeah, I'm not sure walking across 200 meters of jagged rocks would reduce my personal stress level any. It sounds kind of painful.

Art Crawl!!!

Woo hoo! I had a friend dvr it and I watched it compressed this morning. I cannot express how happy I am that they are OUT. Excellent final three. I can't wait for next week.

(SuziQ - thanks for the report - you know we'll want pictures, right?)

Punishingly Intricate

Seriously, I don't care who wins, but in an awesome way!

I KNOW!!! I had to fast forward through the race to the end. It was too stressful.

dag, I really hope there isn't a stupid football game next week to screw up the timing of the finale.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Seriously, I don't care who wins, but in an awesome way!

I add my head nods to this. Was very stressed that they would some how pull something and not get eliminated. Her sense of "it's my birthday so all things should go my way" only works when it is ME (my b-day is coming up). But seriously, the way she got so pissed when another team PLAYED THE GAME WELL and didn't seem at their wits end was horrible. And the comment "Well, you're the man, make the decision" - oh yikes, I wanted to crawl through the tv and throttle her.

I'm kind of curious to see how sour she looks as she applauds the winners in next week.

SuziQ - thanks for the report - you know we'll want pictures, right?)

Prom isn't until May, so it will be a while, but yes - there will eventually be pictures.

'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"

Taiwan! Stunt drivers with some really hairy stunts, too, and the reaction of the participants! Walking on sharp stones and what it said about the personality (or pain threshold) of each contestant -- I laughed and laughed at Ron forging ahead by sheer force of will, like he does EVERYTHING.

(Talk about STEPPING UP TO A CHALLENGE. Hee.)

And then an elimination SO STRONGLY DESERVED that I was cheering, too.

How strange to go into the season finale and find reasons both good and emotional to cheer for all three teams?

Project Runway: Did Victorya copy a dress that season 3 designer Michael Knight made for "My Super Sweet Sixteen"?

I was totally cackling at Jen getting eliminated on her birthday OH NOES!!!!11! Just me?

ETA: Whoa. Those dresses are way too close for comfort. Ouch.
