TAR22, Recap Leg 7, 3/31/13

Welcome to Leg 7! Last time, on Can’t Go Anywhere Without My Bushmen,  teams raced from Vietnam to Botswana.  Chuck and Wynona were slow, as usual, but not as slow as Max and Katie, who managed to end up in last, and were saved by a non-elimination leg.  Who will be eliminated. . . next?

Project Runway 3/28/13--"The Art of Fashion" summary

Previously on Project Runway: more teams, which of course meant Richard and Layana got stuck together because that is the most drama. Finally everyone is done with the teams because there was a lot of bitching this episode. The designers are supposed to make looks for Lord & Taylor, which is not exciting, and then the teams don’t have to collaborate, which is also lame. They still all boss each other around, though. Michelle was especially annoying, which caused Daniel to act really weird. Stanley stood up to Patricia and they passive-aggressively sniped at each other. Richard refused to speak to Layana but that was the least entertaining thing. Michelle won, and her dress was actually cute. Samantha, the person not actually fighting with anyone, made a weird junior short dress and was sent home. (click for more)

TAR22, Recap Leg 6, 3/24/13

Welcome to Leg 6! Last time, on I’ve Got Me a Car, It Seats About Twenty,  teams raced from Bali to Hanoi, Vietnam. Dave and Connor finally decided to call it quits, which meant the “drama” surrounding the Double Blind U-Turn didn’t really matter.  And Dave and Connor were eliminated.  Who will be eliminated. . . next?

Project Runway 3/21/13--"He Said, She Said" summary

Previously on Project Runway: everyone was forced to make performance outfits for male strippers. There were two teams, neither of which did a good job. Like, at all. That may be because they had one day to make menswear for men who are not built like male models, and on top of that they have to be tear-away clothes. Everyone makes “suits”. Michelle is annoying, and Patricia runs out of time again, but Amanda’s pants are deemed the worst and she is sent home. (click for more)

TAR22, Recap Leg 5, 3/17/13

Welcome to Leg 5! Last time, on I Wonder If Luke Hated Watching Them Search Through Surfboards, teams raced from New Zealand to Bali. Dave did continue to race, and he and Connor racked up another first place finish.  John and Jessica were near the back of the pack, but John didn’t think they needed to use their Express Pass. This was a mistake, though, because they ended up in last place and were eliminated. John kept smiling creepily and said he had no regrets. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

Project Runway 3/14/13--"Take It All Off!" summary

Previously on Project Runway: Everyone had to make prom dresses out of duct tape. Teenagers got to vote but they didn’t really get to decide anything. Michelle and Amanda had the top design, and Michelle won, and while I liked their dress, now we’ll probably have to listen to Michelle talk about how great she is. Patricia and Samantha got a bunch of praise which didn’t make sense to me. Tu and Kate made a perfectly good prom dress that was just boring, and then Nina tried to argue that no one wore long prom dresses which was also stupid, and then both Kate AND Tu got sent home.

I think the show is supposed to be about cooking

OK, I wasn't going to write about "Hell's Kitchen" this season, but then I watched the first episode(s) and it was surprisingly not bad. I mean, doing the first challenge in front of an audience so Ramsey can have people laugh at his jokes, that part was dumb. Dumb, but unsurprising, because it's "Hell's Kitchen". And then the sous chefs come out, and...wait, where's Scott? Where is bad-ass hot chef Scott? He left? What the crap is that!? I mean, Andi's cool and all, but MAN. That is not a good sign right there. (click for more)

TAR22, Recap Leg 4, 3/11/13

Welcome to Leg 4! Last time, on Adventures in New Zealand, teams raced from French Polynesia to New Zealand.  Dave popped his Achilles and just kept racing.  Chuck and Wynona end up in last, but Dave and Connor log their first first place finish, and are told to keep racing. Who will be eliminated. . . next?

Project Runway 3/7/13--"A Sticky Situation" summary

Previously on Project Runway: the “real women” challenge made everyone design outfits for seniors. No one was a jerk about it, which is kind of nice. I’m telling myself it’s because everyone is nice and not because everyone is genre savvy and knows not to be a jerk. Stanley won, because he found the woman most like a model (that’s how it usually works) but he also made an elegant pantsuit. Ben is out, for making something shiny and too retro. But Patricia also got called out, FINALLY, which was nice. Amanda is now without a partner, and it’s not clear if they’ll stick her with Michelle (who had to be part of a threesome last week) or if they’ll redo teams again. (click for more)

TAR22, Recap Leg 3, 3/3/13

Welcome to Leg 3! Last time, on This Was a Bad Time to Pull an Achilles, teams raced.  But really, no one cares about anyone else but Dave and Connor who are both cancer survivors, but are in the spotlight, since Dave has managed to tear his Achilles tendon.  But it was Idries and Jamal who are eliminated because they don’t like swimming.  (Toyouke: “It's not a good sign when the Previouslies are all about your team's story up to this point. All two episodes. Nothing about any other team except the team eliminated. Just your injury.”)  Who will be eliminated. . . next?
