Survivor Redemption Island-

Again it's dissension over rice as Phillip scoops some of Zapatara's rice, they won't miss it because they are flushed with rice and living large with only three tribe members. When Ometepe goes to check their rice, it's covered with maggots from a leak in the bottom of the container. Phillip ask Steve if they could put their good rice in with their's to which Steve says no. Play nice! Immediately Phillip and Steve get in a heated argument with Steve ending up calling Phillip "crazy" to which Phillip takes as a racial slur. Yes, we all know Phillip is crazy and has won the second highest medal in the military. What is the second highest medal? I'll have to look that one up.
I loved tribal when Jeff was trying to sort out that argument and really made some sense from both sides. He's such a diplomat! It's all in the perspective. Jeff, will you marry me? Redemption Island challenge between Matt, David and Mike, David is odd man out and gets to be the first member of the jury.
Rob wins the immunity challenge and he and his tribe are considering taking Phillip out since he is getting on everyone's last nerve, especially now that Julie stole his pants and he has to walk around in his pink BVDs. Yikes. But at tribal, Ometepe comes to their senses, letting Phillip go would be the end of Ometepe, keep the diversion on Phillip I say and they send Julie packing. Not sure what their rational was for that, I would have sent Steve home. He seems like a big challenge threat. Hillbilly can't do much of anything, but Steve can pull out the challenges. Still rooting for Boston Rob. I like him!

Celebrity Apprentice-Omaha Steaks

The dwindling men's team is down to four and lord help them, Gary is project manager for the Omaha Steak challenge. John Rich can't decide if Gary is a saboteur because no one is that crazy for real. He must be making up things just to sabotage the men's team. Nope, Gary is really that crazy. He likes to say that he escape death when he had that motorcycle accident in the 80's where he describes himself as floating above his body for hours. Well, I say he didn't come out of that accident unscathed, something happened with his brain, seriously. I needn't say anymore about this episode, except that Gary was fired for being "unfocused" and just plain crazy. No more drama that's for sure.

Amazing Race-Freudian Schintzel and Chim Chimney

It's off to Austria for Schnitzel and Freudian therapy couches. I love Austria, it's so civilized and the beer is fantastic. Teams have to chose to either eat Schnitzel or move couches. Tempting to eat schnitzel but who knew it would be a giant plate not even a man can finish. Again the cowboys chose the wrong flight and get in 30 minutes behind the other teams-dumb! Kent and Vxysin need the therapy couch because they are constantly fighting in the first half of the leg. Turns out their fighting was the only interesting thing on this leg of the race. The challenges were pretty mild, eating Schnitzel or moving couches and chimney sweeping, how easy was that? The pit stop is the lovely Villa Von Trapp which we didn't get to see when we were in Salzburg. We chose to go to the ice caves instead, which I do have to say were amazing nonetheless, but next time it's the Trapp house I want to see. Austria snowy and beautiful.
Winners of this leg won two Ford Focus cars, which Zev and Justin manage to win. Nice going!
