Survivor-Redemption Island

If anyone can take Matt off Redemption Island it would be Stephanie. But first she has to list her food cravings which is probably driving Matt crazy, since the only thing he can converse in is God speak (not that that's a bad thing!). The challenge is the memory pictures which I thought Stephanie would ace since she's pretty smart, but alas that was not the case (she must be still thinking about that peanut butter sandwich) and Matt comes up a winner again. Next episode it looks like he might be headed back to tribe and everyone else better watch out, because it really does look like he has God on his side.

Phillip is not trusting Rob since he withheld the clue and because of that Phillip wants to CRUSH him. No problem for Rob, because he knows the more Phillip talks the more he'll get himself in trouble. Meanwhile, Sarita and David are going at it because David is lobbying for strong players not loyal players which in the end proved to be his winning argument (he's a lawyer you know) as they send Sarita to Redemption Island and no match for Matt.

I was cracking up with that whole cripsy rice argument when the girls wanted to keep some for Rob and Phillip hearing that tries to get some just to be annoying. Funny stuff. I'm kinda hoping Phillip wins just to annoy us all. But then again, I do have a soft spot for Rob!

Celebrity Apprentice-ACN Video Phone

Hey wait a minute, am I watching a re-run? I'm confused? Didn't they already do this? This ACN thing? And what they are still in business? The ACN video phone. Maybe the execs wants some more free publicity. I'll have to re-read my post on that previous season, but wasn't that when Joan Rivers was on it and won? Don't remember anything about that ACN episode so it must have been a sleeper. This time around, ACN execs say they want an ad that appeals to the emotion and heart, so the girls go after a 30 second spot featuring Marlee Matlin signing to her daughter over the video phone. The guys on the other hand driven by Lil Jon wants to add shock value with Jose introduced to the parents of his gay lover over the video phone. So much for emotion and heart. Typical guy thing. The dad is played by the ever so eccentric Gary Busey, who is totally off his rocker, parading around in a bathrobe with nothing underneath, hoping that his pecker would fall out. I so thought it was going to be way too crass for the conservative ACN execs, but everyone in their audience loved it, especially when the execs heard the word "viral". Nene got all emotional in the board room. Everyone pretty much said Dionne was the weakest player so when Trump asked her who should go home, she said well I guess I should, to which Trump said, You're Fired.

Celebrity Apprentice-ACN Launch-Previous Season's ACN

This episode's task is a launching party for ACN's new videophone. Someone at my work sells those, I'm just wondering do you have to have ACN as the phone carrier? I would love a videophone but I'd always have to wear lipstick, never know when you would get a call!

Again Joan is gone away for some event leaving Claudia (the model from Deal or No Deal-she's a celebrity?) as PM with Brian McKnight as PM for the guys. At least this challenge doesn't involve generating money but instead the teams will have to use their creative ideas for the launch. Clint Black and Dennis Rodman get into a heated verbal, over what I'm not sure. Clint last week was sporting the little man syndrome (I know someone at work with that!) which rubbed Dennis the wrong way. Dennis gets all in Clint's face and it was ugly. Dennis has some serious issues. Hey Dr. Phil, ya busy? After the spat, Dennis removes himself from the group, probably to find comfort in booze and broads or dudes (whatever he's into). The ACN execs want an emotional appeal for the promotion. Jesse James suggest right off that he has a contact out at West Point and they can shoot a video there, no matter that it's a two hour ride there. The girls get sidetrack with Claudia and Melissa's tongue wagging war. Melissa tries to volunteer ideas since she does this kind of thing, um like yeah, but Claudia sees it like she's being obnoxious and bi!chy. Claudia's vampire nails come out even further bashing Melissa's semi frozen face and says Melissa scares her because she doesn't know if she's happy or upset. Careful Claudia, I'm seeing plastic surgery in your future, you are a model aren't you?

I'm wondering which one on Athena decided on that whole stage actor vignette thing because I knew having actors interspersed with video would be corny.

Clint looks like a wet puppy with nothing to do on KOTU as Brian prepares to be the center of attention by performing a song. So that's two guys on KOTU with nothing to do, Clint and Dennis who finally shows up but Brian won't give him a single task. Dennis and Clint both act like spoiled brats. Maybe they should scoop up Melissa and all three could be a team.

Joan makes it back on time, private jet and all at 4:00 am. Got to give that old lady props for having so much energy to do that and still look fresh the next day to give her stand up routine. I know, who can tell when she's tired after all that plastic surgery. The best line in Joan's stand up for the videophone, was now all she had to do was to call her gyno. Funny stuff. Joan's still got it!

The guys presentation was really good. They didn't have all that corny crap that the girls did and going second really worked in their favor.

In the end, the Donald said by a landslide, the group liked the guys show better. Everyone love Brian McKnight. I wasn't unhappy that the ladies lost, eventually the weaker ones will have to exit and this week it was Claudia. She tried to throw Melissa under the bus for her big mouth, I'm the greatest thing since foil act, but the rest of the team said Melissa saved their weak presentation by taking charge of the production. Mama Joan came out swinging at Claudia. Don't mess with mother and her cub. In the end, Donald Trump could see that Claudia was clouded by her dislike of Melissa and was sent to pack her bags and take her model self back to Deal or No Deal to bring out another money suitcase.-Single D

Amazing Race-Tea and Sympathy

Teams get their next clue and no you are not leaving China just yet. First you drink tea. Little do they know they will have to remember what it taste like. From there they get their next clue and it's off the the land of the many, India. The Detour takes them to a tea house where they will have find the same tea they drank in China. Do we remember what it taste like? A tea of mangoes and papaya. Actually sounds delicious. The table looks like they have a thousand tea cups on it. Ron is the first to find it, he had a leg up on everyone since they asked in Chinese what kind it was. Everyone finds the tea after drinking cup after cup except for Luke. He starts bawling. I'm like why? No sympathy here. Come on it's just tea! Smell the damn cups! And why are you moving so slowly? If you can't find the right tea cup, then I would have been taking tea cup after tea cup to the guy in rapid fire, although I would probably would have had the need to use the bathroom first. Luke is down on his knees saying in his muted way, "it's too hard", he even had the Indian servers sympathizing with him. When he finally found it after doing the smartest thing all season, was to take a tray of cups with him, he finally found it, the Indian servers practically carried him off the field or in this case around the room. You would have thought when they finally catch up to the Globetrotters in the paint the pink Ganesha roadblock they might of have a chance in staying in the game. But that was not the case, and mother and Luke are eliminated.

I have to say, the people of India are so friendly and nice. Maybe I might have to put this on my bucket list somewhere towards the bottom.
