Richard Hatch-Back to Jail

The notorious first winner of Survivor, Richard Hatch who bounced around Survivor beach in the buff was ordered back to jail to finish out serving a 9 month sentence for still not paying his taxes on the original million, which has now double into 2 million in taxes and penalties. What? Did they let him out on a promise to pay his IRS taxes? Did they not watch Survivor and see that he was the scummiest player that first season? He remarked of his jail time that it reduced his "arrogrance". I think it's pretty arrogrant not paying the taxes in the first place. What so you think you're above Uncle Sam? Apparently he's the newest star of this season's Celebrity Apprentice. Didn't even know that was on that (probably trying to win some money to pay off his IRS debt), but I guess his stint will be shorted lived as he has to surrend to the US Marshal's on Monday, hopefully he'll be fully clothed.

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.

The Bachelor Brad Womack-Spoiler Alert

If you don't want to know who Brad chooses stop reading, but according to some websites, it's not Chantal, as the buxom brunette is turned away for Emily. Chantal reportedly already has a "Seattle" boyfriend Jeff Razore, whom I might add is a real cutie!

American Idol-Season 10

Two words for the ladies: Thia Megia

Survivor Redemption Island-Rashy Russell

This is too good! Damn this is good. The best season ever and I love the redemption island twist as Francesca said to Matt when he arrives, "why are you here, I was expecting Phillip". After the night on redemption island it's a dual between them with two tribe members from each tribe to witness the challenge-Roman arena style. Andrea and Ashley from one tribe and Steve and David from Russell's tribe. Andrea shouts out to her lover boy Matt that she didn't vote him out. Whatever. The dual, make a stick long enough to grab 3 keys and unlock 3 padlocks to get through the door first. Francesca gets off to a great start and grabs two of her three keys but fumbles for the third as it is just out of her reach. I'm like why didn't she make her pole stronger and longer in the beginning? Dumb move. Matt wins and oust Frannie. David and Steve decide to tell Russell that Frannie won just to throw off whoever goes there. Back at Rob's camp, he's a little nervous that Andrea would have bonded with her soul mate, and you know that whole thing, hell hath no fury....

At camp Russell, everyone except for Russell's and his two concubines are getting tired of looking at Russell's infected puss rash. One word-Nasty! Russell lays on the mats with this arm pits exposed, yuck, I think I just barfed in my mouth! The way that Stephanie and Krista are slaves to Russell, he so reminds me of Charles Manson with that weird maniacal look to his eyes and his hynotic hold on young mindless women.

David and Steven tell the others that they need to throw the challenge in order to rid themselves of the plague known as Russell. Firefighter Julie doesn't think it's a good idea, but the tribe holds together and lose the challenge much to Russell's suspicion. Er David would never win any Oscars for that terrible show of trying to put the puzzle together, but he covers by saying "even if my hands aren't moving my brain is". David, I don't think Russell bought it.

I'm glad that Rob's team won or was given the challenge. Rob's finally wising up that he needs to find the idol and as luck would have it he sees that fat Phillip is breaking one of the canvas reward chairs and that there is a clue in it, which unfortunately doesn't help him much, like he said, it could have read there's a clue hidden somewhere.

Steven and David's strategy for the tribal is for the votes to be split between Stephanie and Russell and once it's split, then during the re vote, Russell would be voted off. Russell however is telling his concubine to try to sway old gal firefighter Julie to side with them and they will take her to the final four. Julie during this whole time looks like she's bought into it (ah the magic of editing) so during tribal, Stephanie vocally rallies for Russell, geez, why doesn't she just say, Russell you stay, I'll go, she's so brainwashed by him. The votes are split, 3 for Russell, 3 for Stephanie and 3 for Ralph, which meant Julie vote her old alliance and the second re vote, Russell whined, I've never been voted off. Well now you have-off to Redemption with ya! Ah, that was sooooo satisfying! Love it!

American Idol-Season 10

Can I say one thing, if Snow White had 12 dwarfs, they would look like the male contestants on last night's American Idol. What a motley assorted hairy odd balls. Sure some of their singing sounds great if you are not looking at them. What's up with that scrawny red head who kept whipping his hair back and forth, he whips his hair back and forth (taking lessons from Willow Smith). Another guy's mouth is so small, can he stuff a hot dog in it? Another train wreck one can't stop looking at is Steven Tyler. He's is so Odd, capital ODD! He looks like some old English Grand Dame.

Let's hope the girls look better tonight!

The Bachelor-Out of Africa

Off to South Africa and it's a safari adventure for Brad and Chantal, so safari so good, haha! I just had to say that. I think that the safari date with Chantal would be the one I would have liked to go on. What else would you want to do in Africa, safari! Brad looked spiffy in his safari hat, but I guess the one he brought for Chantal went by the way side, since it was no where to be found when they were encountering wild game. The animals were amazing! I so want to do that! And the Lion Sands Game Reserve was totally awesome! And who wouldn't want to sleep in a tree house? Guess that didn't afford any privacy for Chantal and Brad, but all I could think of is where's the bathroom?

Brad picks up Emily on an elephant, which didn't rank high in my books, since I can't stand animals for amusement. That poor elephant, all he wanted to do was join his elephant herd in the water, that was the only black mark against Lion Sands. Do away with the elephant entertainment and I might come out for a visit. When Brad is with Emily he looks terrified, like he likes her but is afraid of that whole built in family thing.

Brad's third date with Ashley was via helicopter ride. The scenery was amazing! When Brad asks Ashley where she sees herself living, she says "Maybe South Maine to be closer to my family", which was not the answer Brad wanted to hear. After that it was all downhill and Ashley totally clams up and puts up barriers. Can you says awkward?

After that date, you so knew Ashley would be the one packing her safari hat and heading back home.

My guess is still for Chantal, she doesn't have any baggage, she doesn't have any obligations, and she comes from a wealthy family, need I say more?

Didn't you love the hippo in the water? So cute!

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
