Survivor-Redemption Island-

Forgot that Survivor was on last night, so I have to watch it via computer which is not always ideal, with all that buffering and playback getting stuck. I had to restart the video 3 times but somehow all the commercials never get stuck.
I was dying to see how Russell did on Redemption Island up against Matt for a second chance to stay. Two from each tribe go to the Arena where Russell and Matt build wooden domino chain which once tipped releases a ball which breaks a tile. Matt finishes first and tips his domino's which stop half way, everyone was holding their breaths. You could so hear the collective gasp from Phillip and Kristina and Ralph and Sarita. Then Russell does his and misses too which gives Matt a second chance and he manages to do it the second time, beating out Russell. Russell breaks down in weepy tears. Tears of frustration I imagine, as he lashes out against his team, telling them they threw the challenge. Fur coat Ralph in his hillbilly ignorance tells Russell well heck, he got the immunity idol 12 seconds into the game and was just about to pull it out when Sarita whispers for him not too, smart girl. Ralph makes a pretense that he was just kidding, but for the first time in the game, Phillip states the smartest thing ever and says Ralph is telling the truth, that he has it, because I can read people says Phillip. Guess he can't read everyone's disgust when he walks around camp in his baggy underwear!
Back at camp, Rob makes a pretense that he has to go to the bathroom while everyone is on the beach and hunts down the idol and much to his chagrin finds it after digging up the 38th tree.
At the challenge, Rob's tribe loses, WEAK! and they send Christina packing. I'm like why did Christina throw Phillip under the bus at tribal since he was the one trying to keep her there. Guess she was trying to divert the tribe's attention to his erratic ways and thereby hoping the tribe would vote him out instead of her, but her attempt failed. I'm thinking he needs to go soon, his craziness is wearing thin, like those pink underwear of his.-Single D

Amazing Race-Mud Wrestling

Over all a yawner. Teams are off to Japan. Now would you pick a flight that comes in 15 minutes earlier but has a stop or chose the non-stop that arrives 15 minutes later? Uh dud, half the teams chose the first option and lose out when their plane is delayed in Hong Kong. Never ever chose a stop over! Teams get their car at a parking garage that is a rotating car lot. Neat. Those Japanese are so clever. I so want to go back! Teams race to Kamakura, been there! I was surprised that they didn't show the giant Buddha at Kamakura. Instead teams have to perform a samuari ceremony, ride a wooden horse and shoot an arrow through a target. I'm just wondering why Christina keeps letting her dad do the challenges? He is so lame and of course what else they fall behind. The autism team whip through the challenge because I guess being autisic gives you special attention to detail. Meanwhile, Team cheerleaders, Jamie and Cara can't even get out of Toyoko without hitting another car. Hello 911! The Detour is either taking mud wrestling to find Frog of Luck or Prayer of Purity. I'm wondering if the clue Frog of Luck told teams that they would have to wear a diaper and mud dive to find the frog? Give me the waterfall any day! I had to laugh at Team Globetrotters in the Prayer of Purity and getting that cold shower under the waterfall, they were funny. After that bracing dip, Team Globetrotters accidently take Ron and Christina's fanny packs and incur a half hour penalty after Christina complains to Phil.
Zev and Justin step on the map first again and Mel and Mike are eliminated since they couldn't find the frog in the mud. No Frog of Luck for them as they thaw in the van.
