TAR 38, Recap Leg 2, 10/1/25

 

Welcome to Leg 2! Last time, on The Amazing Race European Adventure Without a Starting Line, 13 teams started Amazing Race 38 in Hoorn, Netherlands. Kyland and Taylor got the Express Pass, and then gave a second one to Jas and Jag, who ended up winning the leg. Dating couple Kat and Alex and married couple Megan and Matt handled being in the back of the pack in very different ways, but Jack and Enzo, the Jersey Bros, were ultimately unable to overcome their Hazard and were eliminated. Who will be eliminated. . . next? (click for more)

TAR 38, Recap Leg 1, 9/25/25

 

Welcome to Leg 1 of The Amazing Race 38! We are informed by Phil himself while hanging out in various European cities that the concept for The Amazing Race came from travelers backpacking across Europe, so that’s the inspiration for the season, while visiting some iconic European destinations. (Toyouke: “Only Europe? Weak.”) Phil promises more trains, more self driving (Toyouke: “Well at least more self driving.”), and more racing on foot. Phil promises some classic Amazing Race events. (Toyouke: “"Two Express Passes" is not a "classic". Falling in manure is a "classic".”) Rather than settle for the classic starting line (Toyouke: “I don't like that we didn't get Phil at the starting line.”), teams exit a train station in Hoorn, Netherlands with their first clue in hand.

TAR 38, Recap Leg 0, 9/18/25

 

Welcome back to the Amazing Race! It’s season number thirty-eight. We’ve only had to wait about six months for this one! Apparently, it is filled with teams where one-half of the team has already been a contestant on Big Brother and the other half missed them so much that they had to go on another reality show together to catch up. Also, this is apparently The Amazing Race: European Adventure, because one gimmick wasn’t enough. Oh, and I brought Toyouke along for the snark. Aren’t you lucky? Except since there weren’t great bios or videos this year, we’ll have to fly a little by the seat of our pants, so let’s get to this shall we? The thirteen teams for TAR38 are (click for more):

Project Runway 9/25/25--"See You on the Runway" summary

 

As promised, just a week late. But you got the idea from the recap I got up, right? You get the essentials. This one is going to have more detail, but I copied my original post and just filled in details. I almost didn't do it, but I did say I would get a more thorough recap up. I just am having a hard time getting motivation because this season was so irritating. (click for more)

Project Runway Season 21 Finale

Hello everyone! Like I said last week, I had plans this evening, and then I am headed out of town. I won't be able to get to a recap until probably Tuesday, but I didn't want to leave everyone hanging until then. So I am going to do a bare-bones commentary, so you can know who won. Next week I'll have a proper recap up (and also Amazing Race will get going soon!). I know a couple of people commented on last week's post about spoilers so that will be behind the cut.

Project Runway 9/18/25--"Something Wicked" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Yuchen is sent home, which is fine. Then it's time for the “real women” challenge, which is actually sponsored by a drug company so everyone can make clothes for people with eczema. Why pay to advertise your drugs if you still need to watch the fabrics you use? Doesn't that imply your drugs don't work? Anyway, there are two men just for added difficulty. One of them flirts with Jesus, which everyone likes until he doesn't want to look effeminate. Veejay ended up in the top, because her client liked the boring look she made. Yes it's time for everyone to shift away from never caring about the client to rewarding any design that the client likes. Also you have to do a reveal. Antonio finally won, but to be fair it was great and had actual reveals. Jesus and Belania were in the bottom, and then Heidi said you're both out and then it was “to be continued”.

Project Runway 9/11/25--"Threads of Confidence" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway”: Joan was eliminated, which is fine because people are going to see her tailoring and she'll have jobs. The challenge was to make western outfits, which is fine. It's not exciting but at this point we're just trying to get to the end. The twins basically made the same outfit: a miniskirt, bandeau top, and jacket, in white leather. Jesus won but I wonder if it's basically because Antonio is the only one who hasn't won a challenge so it will drive him insane. Veejay made a bodycon dress with red transparent vinyl fringe, and Yuchen made a silver sequined gown with matching horns right on her boobs. So that's the two bottom looks. (click for more)
