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

I had stuff to say, but then work ate me starting with my bottom and I forgot to post it.

I'm still confused as to why James and Amanda (a) thought that Parvati was the ringleader of the Great Ozzie Blindside and (b) didn't they just TELL JASON THE PLAN????

Seriously, this is how to get Parvati voted off:

1 - Tell Jason "Dude, they're all lying to you, you're going home tonight. For reals."

2 - Vote for Parvati.

3 - Profit!

I love James, but he's not playing smart right now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think Amanda is trying not to betray the ladies' alliance, while sort of having the sympathy of the men, because this way she gets the men's votes in the end but doesn't have to be in a final three with all her betrayed lady allies in the jury.

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

No love for James and his AWESOME smackdown of Parvati? "You say 'I'm sorry' but you mean 'ha ha ha.'

That was good.

"I just didn't want things to be awkward."

"Oh, it's gonna be awkward."

Not talking to Jason was kind of idiotic, though.

(But yes, he's that's stupid. He really thinks that Ozzy's ouster was on account of their promises to him?)

Also, maybe it's bad editing, but Jeff appears to be way too in on and part of the various plans.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jason was stupider than Ozzy, because he saw a blindside just two days earlier and he STILL didn't think it might happen to him.

Ozzy was cocky. Jason was DUMB.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Top Chef:

I agree that the traveling is getting out of hand, but have they seen this show? Talk to me when you see a vending machine, princesses.

God, seriously. All of the challenges this season so far have been with actual food, haven't they?

In other news, guess who was sitting in my row on the red eye from LA last night? Benny Ninja!!! We saw him posing around the gate area, so it was double-hilarious when he was sitting way in back with me.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

That is made of awesome! Although, damn, why is Tyra such a tightwad, right?

And he was posing at the gate!!! Such fun. I'm watching ANTM right now, AIFG.

I actually think it was just the way he stands -- like how you always know ballerinas walking down the street -- but STILL.
