Survivor-Redemption Island-First Blindside

Second episode did not fail to deliver chuckles and grins as wacky Phillip continues his crazy "I am a former Federal Agent", or as Rob says, "government worker-stressful". You said it and this I know first hand. I guess a career in the Federal Government leads to a retirement of craziness and this is what I have to look forward to! Phillip this time was crab hunting in his pink BVDs, what a sight, I almost expected him to have war paint on his face and pound his chest "I got one!". Rob played it cool when he told or didn't tell Phillip that it wasn't going to be him for the vote even tho Phillip lost the immunity challenge for the tribe by not being able to break the tiles. I'm wondering why they even let him do that part, why not Rob? Obvious Phillip breaks under pressure, maybe that is why he is "former"?
Snaps to Rob for being able to subtly lead his group to vote out who he wants, wondering how long that is going to last before someone rallies to get him gone.
On the other tribe, furry coat Ralph, the country bumpkin notices that Russell steals the clue out of the reward and confronts Russell loud and clear. Russell lies his way out, but no one is fooling anyone here. Ralph better watch his back because now he's on Russell's radar.
Tribal council did not fail once again. I was holding my breath to see if Phillip was going to spill State secrets as Jeff kept asking him questions, trying to trip him. Don't know if it was the best move to get rid of Matt so early in the game, hey he's trying to play the good Christian game, might have been better to get rid of his gal pal Andrea because it looks like next episode, hell hath no fury like a woman left out in the dark!

The Bachelor-Hometown Dates

Chantal-Seattle, WA
Ashley-Madawaska Maine
Shawntel-Chico CA
Emily-Charlotte, North Carolina
Who should Brad chose? Based on family fortune, Chantal. Jeez, what does her parents do, besides live in a mansion that overlooks the water, have a ji-mornous statue of a man being carved out of wood and a fabulous wine cellar. You'll never have to work again Brad!
Based on foodie consumption, Ashley. What else out ranks fresh lobster and fries with gravy and cheese? Yum!
Based on whether you want to ensure your family plot, Shawntel, heir apparent to the family business of burying people. Do you like organ music Brad?
Based on instant family, Emily, bratty kid and all. Sorry, she was cute, but reminded me of the blond evil child of the 50's movie, The Bad Seed. Stop sucking your thumb.
Out of the four, I knew he was going to send Shawntel home. He couldn't pull her away from her destiny of being the funeral director of Chico and as he said, their conversations would always center around "Death". A close second to go home, Emily. Brad was so uncomfortable at Emily's house, it was like he couldn't get out of there fast enough with the bratty seed upstairs pretending to be asleep.
My guess now, Chantel. What guy would turn down the princess to the family fortune?-Single D

Amazing Race-Unfinished Business

Should have been called season of the weakest players. These were the teams that were either so stupid, so slow or so weak they deserved to go home. Really? Do we want to root for the underdog? I'm not feeling it. Christina and dad? He could barely run last season. At least this time he's in good company with Mel and Mike, which one is the dad? They both look the same age! The only team I am feeling it for is Jet and Cord but their country hick is showing and have messed up the first challenge real bad and are in peril of being eliminated in Sydney. I was glad the three last teams were who they were. Sure Mallory and Gary were in that bunch, but come on, is she going to pray to God for everything? Sure he answered her call this time by landing them in first place and getting the express pass but I think it was mostly the god of dumb luck helping them. Amanda and Kris deserved to be on the second plane, who didn't know that the airplane was Quantas? As for LaKesha and Jennifer well, as Jennifer said, she's not going to drink 4 bottles of water while running to the mat.
Sydney is a good starting point for the race. Snaps to Big and Easy for not getting ruffled when their plane had to be diverted to Hawaii because someone was having a heart attack. Big and Easy said at least they are all right and that was what matter well tell that to the redheads, they were like wouldn't you know it?!-Single D
