Survivor Gabon-Operation Fake Idol 2

Well, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Quiet Professor Bob is playing the game. His true colors revealed themselves starting with his anger at Sugar laughing at Randy when he played the fake idol during tribal for all of America to see, making him the biggest Survivor jackass of all time. Lighten up Bob, that was good TV! I think Bob must have been feeling the guilt and so was angry with himself for putting Randy in that laughable situation. Did I miss the part when delicate Sugar put Bob in a stranglehold and made him give the fake idol to Randy? I think not, Bob is the smartest one there and he knew exactly what he was doing, so suck it up Bob. It was funny!
The reward challenge is the seeing relatives cry fest. Didn't gamer boy, Kenny look like he was really trying to squeeze some water out of those eyes when he saw his sister? Say it with me, crocodile tears! We knew that anything involving puzzles, Bob would win, which he did and enjoyed an afternoon with his wife and pizza. Me, I would have enjoyed the pizza more. The producers are such wimps and everyone else gets the visit with their relatives. Matty becomes the biggest softest marshmallow on the planet and gets all mushy over his girlfriend and proposes to her in the jungles of Africa. Hey, that will make a good story to tell the grand kids one day.
Clever and crafty Bob hatches operation fake idol 2 with Corinne and makes another fake idol. I'm wondering exactly where in the jungle Bob finds all those wooden beads to fashion a fake idol from? The Gabon bead store? He tells Kenny, whose head is now so big it can barely balance on top of his scrawny body, that when the idol was thrown in the ocean by Marcus, he really hid it on the beach and now he has it. If anyone buys that story, I have a bridge I'd like to sell. Kenny fell for it, making him the biggest dummy in Survivor history. He tells Crystal that Bob has the idol and that they will be voting Matty out.
The immunity challenge is lobbing balls on to a target. Again, Bob proves his skills and wins the immunity. The old Fang tribe is voting Corinne out with unbeknownst to Crystal becoming the swing vote. Again, another great twist at tribal, whether Crystal would vote Matty out. When Jeff asked if anyone had the idol, Kenny was practically saying out loud to Corinne to play the idol and when she didn't, Kenny knew he had been duped. Thankfully, Crystal voted Corinne and the queen of mean took her walk of shame. Corinne is forgetting that this is just a game as she venemously spews hate toward those who are left becoming this season's Sue Hawk! -Single D

Amazing Race-No Money, No Passports, No Third Place Finish-Bye to Toni & Dallas

First to leave: Toni & Dallas
Followed by Ken & Tina
Nick & Starr
with Frat boys bringing up the rear and having to catch up after their imposed speed bump. I was almost certain the race for the final three would be the first three teams to leave, with dumb and dumber packing their bags, but that was not to be. It seemed like all teams almost leave at the same time as they all make it to the submarine together. The clue is to race to the park of Fallen Monuments and make a statue count. I knew it when Toni and Dallas arrived and mom told Dallas to do it, I was like why would she let him do it? It seemed like it should have been her turn to do the road block. But like the dutiful son that Dallas is, he didn't disagree with her-huge mistake MOM! First of all, it sounded way to complicated for Dallas's huge hair brain. Of course, Nick didn't have any problems with this road block, in fact the luck Gods were with Nick and Starr this leg of the race.
Not having a smooth time of it was Tina, screeching her way through Moscow. I need a hoodie, I'm going to catch my death, Ken give me your hoodie! I don't think I heard Ken utter one complete sentence during this entire episode. Just Tina screeching in the background. No wonder Ken divorced her! I thought it was funny when Nick and Starr stole Ken and Tina's cab who had the only GPS device in all of Moscow.
I wasn't understanding how it was raining on all the other teams, but where the Frat boys were it was sunny, maybe they were in Southern Russia?
When Dallas finished counting the statues of course he had the wrong number and if it wasn't for Tina giving him the right number, he might have given the wrong number each time and wouldn't have lost their passports and money which eventually cost them the game. So from here on it was semi anti-climatic. Of course frat boys do their speed bump with little flair, although Dan still can't dance a Cassock dance. Yes, you do dance that bad!
No matter, how the edits of this leg, it didn't build any suspense for me. I knew Toni and Dallas were the last. I'm not getting why they just didn't follow the rules and begged for cab money in the first place. They might have made it and you know darn well, their passports were retrieved out of that cab because Mom was not that concerned. I have to give her snaps tho, she remained the calm Mother. I would have been the hysterical Mother, am the hysterical Mother.
I was hoping against hope that maybe four teams would race to the finish, but that was not to be. So bye to Toni and Dallas, they went further that I thought they would. But the team that made the final three by default, the so called "Cinderella team", I would have never guess they would have made it that far. I would laugh my butt off if they did win it, but my money is on Nick and Starr. Next I'm thinking it's on to Alaska, because can't you see Alaska from Russia?-Single D
