Survivor-Heroes vs Villains-A Brokeback Moment

Now this is the Survivor I know and love! Finally some blindsiding! But first.... a brokeback moment between Coach and Tyson. Coach was so torn up by Sandra cutting him down at tribal that Coach went back to camp in tears. How could she say that he whines to Tyson. I'm noble, not ignoble, I do grand stuff (right! only in his eyes). Tyson in his best Dr. Phil mode told Coach, that if he wants to be liked, then he needs to stop with all the grandiose storytelling, the wearing of feathers (he does?) and all that crazy tai-chi stuff on the beach because it's just makes him look like an idiot. Yes it does. Wow, Tyson could give Dr. Phil a run for his money! Coach wiping away tears as Tyson gives him an embrace. Ah a touching survivor brokeback moment! Afterward, you'd think Coach would redeem himself, naw, he says he gonna be just like he is, a Dragon Slayer, because he can't change, he'd rather leave the game. Empty threats. Meanwhile, the plot thickens as two idol clues are revealed to everyone on both camps. I loved it how King Rob tells his henchman, Sandra to spy on the court jester, Russell (Idol magnet) to see if he's trying to find the idol, which he does, no surprise there, and which Sandra good solider that she is, reports back to King Rob that he has it. Russell is not too sly this time around, it's like everyone already knows his game.
Meanwhile, at the heroes camp everyone is trying to play nice in finding the idol, when Tom finds it and tries to slyly hide it but not before Amanda tells everyone.
Heroes lose the immunity challenge again, wimps! I'm sick of them! There's scrambling for who should leave, with Tom and Colby being on the outs, looks like one of them would end up voted out, but it was JT's brave vote switching that really changed the game. Are the heroes camp that stupid that they would want to vote out all the strong players? Come on, Tom or Colby? At least JT came to his senses, although during tribal he look scared as SH!! Somewhere between Jeff saying, once the votes are read and the actual reading , someone arranges the votes in exact cliffhanger order, with the first three votes nulled by Tom playing his idol and then the next three for Cirie. The look on Cirie's face, priceless! The look on Amanda's face even better. What's Amanda gonna do without her brains? Well, glad to see Cirie go, don't exactly know what she was doing there in the first place.-Single D

Amazing Race-Oh My Gravy!

Oh my gravy, I'm thinking I'm voting for the cowboys to win. How they manage to make it in first place is beyond me. Sure they know how to rope a steer even if it is a fake one and they know how to play polo even if it is on fake horses, so I shouldn't be surprised when they came in first. And I loved Cord saying oh my gravy, that's so gonna be my new exclamation point when I'm yelling at my daughter. Jeff and Jordon's dumbness is showing through again when they couldn't find the right lead bandit at the train station to give their loot. Oh my gravy, read the darn clue! No wonder Jeff gets along with Jordan, he's just as dumb as she is. They never told us why Caite and Brent had to go to the ER, was it food poisoning? Nothing like having to travel when you're not feeling well. What I wouldn't want is having an IV drip in a foreign country, oh my gravy!
You know who is getting on my last nerve is the lesbo team of Carol and Brandy, "newly dating", well maybe not for long, bickering like an old married couple. Not quite sure why Monique and Shawne ended up last, was it because Shawne couldn't lasso her fake steer? Too bad, would have loved to see them come in first and they both seemed really nice, thank you Jesus! I'm thinking the next to go, Louis and Michael. Oh my gravy, they can't do anything remotely related to anything, how are they detectives? -Single D

Jake The Bachelor-On the Wings of Love-Who Did He Chose

Yep, that's three hours I'll never get back and I really wasn't that interested in who he picked, naughty or nice. Of course Tenley made a great impression on Jake's parents and two brothers and their wives. She's the perfect stepford wife what's not to like? Tenley had everyone gushing over her, even stiff upper lipped dad. Gee, does he ever crack a smile? Vienna on the other hand, started out with her foot in the mouth disease and said all the wrong things, yep, all the girls hated me, she whines! Because I'm so brutally honest, no it's because you're so brutally stupid! Vienna did manage to win them over somewhat, hey this is tv, what are the parents supposed to say?
Jake kept saying that he loves Tenley like he was trying to convince himself. When they were on the boat and he tells Tenley that he's not feeling the heat in their relationship, well coming off the date with Vienna, where they rubbed hot mud over each other, now that's heat. It's no wonder he's not feeling it. I so felt bad for Tenley, I'm sure she knew right there and then that he wasn't going to pick her. Come on, it came down to pixie fairy Tenley (doesn't she look like she should be sprinkling fairy dust somewhere), or hot chick Vienna. What would any guy pick? When he was kissing Tenley, it looked like he was kissing a dead fish. I'm sure he was thinking I could love Tenley without all that hot sex, or have hot sex and learn to love Vienna. He chose the latter of course. In support of Vienna, life does look like more fun with her, but once the kids come, I can see a messy house, a litter full of kids, dirty laundry everywhere and Vienna's hips spreading and in bad need of a dye job and Jake and her having wild sex on the washing machine. Tenley would have the perfect house, the perfect kids and the perfect figure (with all that dancing), but unfortunately it would be like the majority of other households, not tonight honey, I'm too tired!
I thought the After the Rose show was totally lame and corny! I don't think I'm going to be able to listen to "On the Wings of Love" without cringing and bring up images of Vienna and Jake dancing and smooching to take up 10 minutes of dead air time. And come on, sending them back to St. Lucia, come on, give them a honeymoon trip to Venice or something, weren't they in St. Lucia enough?
As for Jake joining Dancing with the Stars, love it! This I've got to see! That was a good move on DWTS. As for Ali being the next Bachelorette, I'm so over that girl! Why bring back someone whose already washed up on TV? She's too self-involved to ever let any guy dominate her life, what is he going to give up living where he is to join her in San Francisco?
Can't the bachelor find someone new? I liked it when they had that wine heir and that British dude. -Single D
