Survivor-Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun Elimination!

That was one of the best episodes ever! I was sitting on my couch, arms wrapped around knees drawn in, verging on the abyss of hysterical laughter and hysterical irateness if Candace wasn't geting eliminated in the blindside. I was gonna swear off watching Survivor... again! When it came to the immunity challenge which involved feet perched on a slender piece of wood, I so knew big lumbering Rupert wouldn't be able to hold out. Surprisingly, everyone had little restraint when the food came out with Sandra and Russell being the first one's to give up after only a minute for cookies and milk. Next Colby gives up what for donuts? Let's see donuts, a million, donuts, a million? When it came down to Par and Rupert, I knew Rupert didn't have a chance with his big size 20 gunboats and sure enough, he loses his concentration and came tumbling down, humpty dumpty stood on a wall. After Jeff reads the clue to another hidden immunity idol, it's a mad dash to find it. I was glad that finally for once, someone other than the idol magnet (Russell) found it. Sandra immediately stashes it in the bushes. I'm thinking, just her luck Russell will find it. Rupert did a brilliant thing by faking an immunity idol in his pocket. I was cracking up when he came back to camp and Russell was looking at that dangly thing in his pocket and thinking it was the idol. Guess he knows how an idol dangles Ha ha, LOL and LMAO! Russell tells everyone that Rupert has it, in which the only person to know this isn't true is Sandra. Ha. Russell tells them to split the votes between Candace and Rupert forcing him to play the idol. At tribal, when Jeff asked if anyone had the idol, Rupert could have won an academy award for reaching for his pocket, pretending he was feeling for it and Russell's eyes like he is going to play it...and then he doesn't pull it out. Whoops, gotcha. Loved it when Candace was voted it off. Serves you right you Beatrice Arnold!
For the second immunity challenge, I knew Colby and Rupert didn't have a chance in winning it. Russell wins and then in a moment of insecurity to his little man-ness (doesn't he remind you of Rumplestiltskin?) decides to break up the Danielle and Par's alliance by doing a she said, she said which I thought was so going to back fire when Par so talked back to him. Now wait a minute, why isn't anyone targeting Russell at this point. Wouldn't have been smart if someone would have said let's get him off but once again after he admits maybe he's not totally in charge, he threatens Jerri that she better vote Danielle or she's the next to go. I'm still not getting why Russell wants to take Par to the end, lest he forgets she's already won a cool mil?
At this point, I didn't care who Russell was targeting, just as long it wasn't Rupert or Colby. Russell tells them to vote for Danielle, which I'm sure they were like heck ya. At tribal, Jeff was good at stirring the pot bringing up the alliance of Danielle and Par and putting Danielle on the hot seat. Danielle opened her mouth and a big bag of beans spilled out sealing her fate with Jerri voting against her and with that Danielle's torch is extinguised. Well at least she'll get to go to the Ponderosa and shave that mustache off. Oh my gravy!-Single D

Amazing Race-Final Three-Lost in Translation

Didn't the true colors of whining crybabies, Jordan and Dan come out last night? I so wanted to slap both of them silly when they were in the cab. I thought they were going to have a stroke the way they were all twisted in frustration. You betcha I was so hoping the cabs were going to get separated, but what I didn't understand, sure no one understood what the clue said "Garden Bridge" (in English) but hey, it's China for gravy sake!, but as the detectives said, that the cab drivers have a number they can call to get the Chinese translation. So why were the twisted brothers so upset when their cab got separated, couldn't their cabbie just call that number? The brothers said they were never coming to China again. Well, I'm sure the cabbies are happy about that! I'm so mad that they made it to the final three.
Fatal mistake for the detectives was hooking up with the brothers in the first place. If they had managed to sneak by them, who knows, maybe the brothers would still be looking for the Garden Bridge as we speak, but instead the brothers hook their bony fingers onto them and manage to get ahead even when how surprisingly easy the road block was for the detectives by flipping a coin in the incense burner. We knew from the beginning that the detectives weren't going to win, it's just amazing they lasted this long, but then again, would we have predicted the final four to be the teams left standing?
The team that is really having good fortune this late in the game is Caite and Brent. Let's hope Brent has to pee really bad when they are running to the finish line and then maybe the cowboys can beat them. The cowboys better make sure their cowboy hats are on right, if they want to run a good race, because I think the team to beat is the models. This final episode won't allow for any mistakes otherwise it will be back on the farm for them without the silver belt buckle. -Single D
