Survivor Nicaragua-Goodbye Marty

There is a reality God after all! There was some tense moments when I thought Brenda and Sash would keep Marty again, what are they thinking! But they must have come to their senses.
Really didn't think the reward challenge was fair, men vs women. Hey breaking through a brick wall, I'll huff and I'll puff, and ramming a stick barrier was not fair for the women. Come on, I'll say it, women just aren't that strong, contrary to Jane's thinking and Jane, your steam gave out half way through. What was Chase thinking by siding with the girls in this one, anyone could see the women didn't have a chance. Marty took it as his opportunity to lobby for his plan of getting rid of Jane.
The immunity challenge of remembering the order of symbols proved that Brenda has a sharp mind. She was like the cat eating the rat when she went up against Marty in the final round. Old people really have to concentrate or they lose it and I'm speaking from experience! I'm thinking that is why Marty couldn't remember the last symbol because there was too much distraction.
If this time around, they didn't vote Marty off, I was ready to hand him the million. Hey anyone you love to hate is the one that should win. Goodbye Marty, FINALLY!-Single D

Amazing Race-Goodbye Team Asia

Rule of the game:

READ THE CLUE CAREFULLY!

That is the cardinal rule to this game and to get eliminated because you didn't follow the clue is dumb, dumb, dumb! Take that walk of shame. Never mind you survived paddling in a dish on the water, never mind you built a Norwegian tent, never mind you mastered the game of Russian bowling, but to get eliminated because you didn't read the clue correctly, duh! Man that's gotta smart! How disappointing! Kevin was just too wet behind the ears and didn't have that smarts that come with age to READ the clue in its entirety. Well, it was a good effort, but we knew they weren't going to win, it's amazing enough that dad managed as long as he did. So gung hay fat choy to you.

This episode, the challenges looked simple enough, playing the accordion, how hard could that be, certainly if you managed to listen to a hall of pianos in the last challenge, mastering playing a single accordion can't be that hard, right? Well, finally, Kat and Nat showed some intelligence (aren't their teeth white?) by using the numbering system to play the accordion. Nice squeezing! I had to laugh when Mallory said she couldn't see the key over her big red nose. I probably would have done the spinning, isn't it every child's fantasy to spin plates in a circus. I remember as a child watching the Ed Sullivan Show (am I dating myself?) and he would have plate spinners, I think the guy was a comic cause he would let the plates almost fall off. The spinning plates looked hard and frustrating. Never mind that the clowns were so annoying! Didn't Russia look amazing? Put on bucket list!

The two strongest teams are Nat and Kat and the TV hostess, looks like there might be a good chance of an all girl team winning this season. Oh why didn't Donna and I try out, we mighta had a chance!!-Single D
