Survivor Nicaragua-Double Elimination

I'm not getting it, why is there always people who sign up for these weeks long reality shows and half way through it starting whining about how cold it is, how hard it is, how they miss their families. Boo hoo, you signed up for it. It's not like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, this is what the 21st season!! Dan, you need to go home. Like you said, you don't need the money, apparently you have oodles of it to spend on cars and homes, then why the heck are you sleeping in the rain, nursing your knees and suffering like a hound dog? Go home! And once again, does the tribe vote him out, nope, hey, let's vote out another strong player, Yve. Sure she's strong, but did seem to me to pose that great a threat. And hey, what was up? Did I miss something? Brenda hatches a plan to get rid of full of his self Marty out, a plan that played out perfectly during tribal, with the votes split, 3-3, but during the second vote, its Kelly B that gets the boot, I'm like, what?! Who was the traitor? It was Brenda! What happened. Did she forget to vote Marty out? What's the deal? I'm sure all the behind the scenes scheming, Marty must have gotten to Brenda, yitch! Well, I'm sure that is going to back fire. One word, stupid! Marty is a threat at challenges, so I think they missed the chance to get rid of him. Well, coconuts fall where they may, Marty is moving up the food chain. Kinda of sad to see Kelly B go and yes, if she would have made it to the end, I would have voted for her and not out of sympathy, but out of amazement, she moves faster on one leg than my sister-in-law with two!-Single D

Amazing Race-The Last Lap In Lapland for Team Glee

From scorching heat of Ghana to the Arctic Circle, whoo hoo, Kiruna, Sweden! Come on, did you pause just for a moment thinking where's the Arctic Circle? Come on, I know you did. The scenery looked absolutely amazing, put on bucket list. For once, team Asian made a smart move and decided to see if there was an earlier flight Out of Africa (isn't that a movie?) and got lucky to be one of three teams (dad and Mallory and Brooke and Claire) to catch the first flight out, especially since they have a speed bump. The roadblock was dog sledding which looked like so much fun even if it was on a dirt road. Nice doggy. Onward to the Ice Hotel which was under wraps because I guess it was summer there. I was holding my breath thinking that the speed bump would surely be the undoing of Team Asian since dad isn't the fastest dad in the race, but when they got to the lodge, all they had to do was sit on a chair of ice for 10 minutes which by the looks of son Kevin is no easy feat. Guess his nuts were getting frozen, nothing like nuts on ice. Dad Micheal was doing the first this butt cheek and then the next butt cheek. The next challenge was either sleds or beds, which dud, which one would you do? I'm guessing sleds, which seemed like you could finish faster right? NOT! I've never seen such a sled, it was like for little people or sledding on your knees, but apparently it didn't have brakes which freaked Stephanie out, really? It's not that scary! Three teams failed to do the sled challenge and ended up building tents, which I must say, looked pretty cozy for all that snow. Jill and Thomas opt to use their express pass because for some strange reason they really fell behind. Klutzy team Glee couldn't get their sled on and as a result ended up stepping on the mat last. Well, at least they could sing about it and in tune I might add! Single D
