HA! Copsister, however did you become so jaded? I hadn't even considered that, but now that you said it...yep! I hope not though.

I think quite a few of the designers are very talented this season and the right ones have gone each week. I think Delvin, Sergio, Brittany, and Chelsea have all done beautiful work. Sergio is one of the biggest jerks they'd had in quite a while, but sadly he is quite talented. I'm hoping he gets cut soon for not addressing the challenge and just designing what he wants to design. I'm not sure Christian would save him because he never listens to his advice. Remember, he said first episode he was already way ahead of Christian as far as his design skills go. The judges' picks still mystify me. I can usually pick one of the top 3, but often one I thought would be bottom 3, they just love. I don't understand the judges' love for Victoria. She has given them basically the same dress every single week. It was the most appropriate, I guess, for a dress for Karlie to wear in Paris, but surely she'll get called out at some point for always doing the same thing. I really do love Christian as the mentor. As much as I loved and miss Tim Gunn, he had reached the point where he really wasn't giving them much guidance beyond"make it work." Christian actually puts his foot down and steers them away when he sees them going in a wrong direction. Or he attempts to anyway.

I watched all 8 episodes of The Circle over the past 2 days. It's like a huge trainwreck. Could.not.stop.watching. One nice thing about them being isolated is we're not subjected to shmoopycakes constantly. It's edited so there's very little of them just sitting around killing time. I find I like almost all the players, but Shooby is definitely the most lovable. Really like Chris, Sammie, Joey and Bill too. I expected to hate Joey, but I find I really like him a lot. One of them (don't want to spoil it so I'll just say the one fond of tie-dye and cats) is horrible and I can't wait for them to go.

I'm with uaintjak on this one. No, Dean isn't the best player but he's the cutest, which always scores points in my book.I I would hate to see Elizabeth, Karishma and Noura. Don't like the way the first one has played and the last two are clueless, and not in a good way. It'd be a helluva final reckoning though. Heeeee.

Great recap, Mrs. Gryn. I missed the first 10 minutes so didn't see the entrance and the tribe signs. Based solely on hearing Probst's play by play, I thought the tribes were Bowtie and Lar-O. They could wear their buffs as purple bowties!

Seems we're pretty much on the same page: Isabella, Jack and Jessica have the most preshow like. Any bets on which one disappoints us first?

Oh well, we can't all be pretty AND smart.

His favorite houseguest is Da'Vonne! How is that possible?

She !oves tanning so much people call her a lizard. Could that be a reference to her intellect rather than her skin tone? Also, she loves Dick and Danielle. I hope she goes home first.

I hope he's not as boring in the house as he is in this interview. On the other hand, his droning on and on could be helpful for any insomniacs in the house.

Where else are we gonna get awesome TAR recaps? Do it for the children, Tsy!

Joe. As far as I'm concerned, he can return every season from here on.

When I heard there were to be returnees, I asked if Joe and Malcolm were going to be among them. Glad to see one of the two. I love Joe, bun or not, but that moustache does need to go.

She certainly has a high opinion of herself and her abilities. Course, didn't we all at 21? I look forward to her eventual breakdown and demise.

I knew that name was familiar! One of my principals made us watch that Disney Teacher of the Year thing on in-service day. I remember finding him likeable and funny. But that was 15+ years ago. He sounds insufferable now.
