Easily the best part of Monday’s episode. To flex our TV-buff skills, we tried to see how many of the farewell one-liners we could place. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your priorities), we named all but two. Before scrolling down to see the complete list, flex your skills and see how many you can name.

Complete list (in order):  (asterisks on the ones we didn’t get)

  1. Weakest Link - “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.”
  2. Survivor - “The tribe has spoken.”
  3. Top Chef - “Please pack your knives and go.”
  4. Work of Art - “Your work of art didn’t work for us.”
  5. Flavor of Love - “Your time’s up!”
  6. Beauty and the Geek - “I have to ask you to leave the mansion.”
  7. Joe Millionaire - “You must leave the chateau.” *
  8. Rock of Love Bus - “Your tour ends here.”
  9. Chopped - “You’ve been chopped.”
  10. Big Brother - “You’ve been evicted from the Big Brother house.”
  11. Top Chef Just Desserts - “Your dessert just didn’t measure up.”
  12. RuPaul’s Drag Race - “Sashay away.”
  13. Hell’s Kitchen - “Give me your jacket and leave Hell’s Kitchen.”
  14. The Bachelor - “I’m sorry, you did not get a rose.”
  15. The Amazing Race - “You have been eliminated from the race.” *
  16. America’s Next Top Model - “You are no longer in the running to be America’s Next Top Model.”
  17. The Apprentice - “You’re fired.”
  18. Project Runway - “Auf Wiedersehen.”

Oldie Review: HIMYM 113 - Drumroll, Please

We want to start out this post by saying this: why did it take us this long to recognize Victoria’s coolness?

Our thoughts:

  • Victoria is awesome. Rewatching this episode, it occurred to us: despite whatever happened after this episode, Victoria in this episode is sooo cool. Her cartwheels, ability to comfort Robin, and the way she left Ted was just flat-out cool. We actually thought that Victoria might not be a bad candidate for the Mother.
  • Robin has changed a lot from Season 1 to now. We like her muuuuch better now.
  • Did anyone know that Robin’s station (MetroNews 1) was based on NY1, the 24-hour local news station?
  • Did anyone catch the Star Wars reference in this episode? (Hint: Ted’s fake nickname to Victoria).

Verdict: although Victoria is awesome in this episode, if they saved Victoria’s awesome-ness for the Mother we would be happy campers.
