Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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

Bravo owns TWOP, right? So that means I only have to track down and kill one person responsible for the completely ridiculous pagination choices on both TWOP recaps and the BravoTV blogs?

How does a 600-word blog post merit *13* pages??? In what universe does that make sense????

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, kill that one person - they're also making the TWOP forums NOT send notifications. And those links from TWOP's front page to the individual show forums? Not really working very well.

Preach it. And TWoP's pagination choices have bugged me for forever. At least give me the option to read it all in one go (if only as a to-print item).

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

OMG, yes. I've about given up on them both because it's so annoying.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

But I can't resist their recaps of Hell's Kitchen (with the Gordon Ramsey bleep-o-meter). I am weak.

The people on Hell's Kitchen amaze me with their ineptitude - although without Matt the red team did really well.

Sometimes I have to ask if any of these people have ever seen the show. Inevitably, at least one team has problems (i.e., loses challenges again and again) because they're all playing their egos. People! learn from others' mistakes!

The best example of that is when someone, inevitably, tries to put their biggest threat up for elimination, instead of the weakest player. It's like, have you not watched the show? Do you not know that Ramsey is totally going to override you and this will only make you look like a tool?

Compassionately intolerant

Well, I can't think of many more appropriate places for attitude and game playing than within visual distance of the US Capitol building.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I can get someone to eat and report on a burger!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently the 13 pages for a 600 word post is for advertising dollars.

But there has to be a better way.

There HAS to be.
