Survivor Redemption Island-Beauty Queens and the Red Headed Step Child

Or at least that's what Secret Agent man calls himself against Ashley and Natalie who are constantly grooming each other and cutting and picking skin off from under their armpits. Yuck! I don't know what is grosser, Phillip in his pink BVD's or Ashley and Natalie's spa habits that puts grooming monkeys to shame. Stephanie tries to make an alliance with David who is realizing the virtue of having a strong player, Stephanie over the weak Sarita. Sarita who is about inert as a piece of wood now has some sort of tooth ache because she was cleaning her back teeth with a dirty stick. You're in the jungle, last thing you want is a jungle infection.
On Redemption Island, Krista and Matt bond over the God thing and after Matt of course wins the challenge, God's will, Krista gives Matt her luxury item, a Bible. Andrea who witnesses the whole thing, instead of saying, aw how nice instead says he can't be trusted since he befriended her so quickly. Am I'm sensing a little jealousy?
The immunity/reward challenge is something like Beach Squash. Rob's teams wins easily and gets to have a picnic on an amazing hill over looking the ocean. Rob and Grant steal the clue. they could never be spies, hidden under the plates, but not before Phillip comes around to join them. Maybe he does have some secret agent powers of observation?
There was a slim glimmer of hope that Sarita would go home, but Stephanie was sent packing to Redemption Island and I'm thinking she'll be a force to be reckoned with against Matt, as Matt prophetically says maybe his time is up.

John Rich
The women:
Star Jones
Nene
Marlee Matlin

La Toya Jackson
Dionne Warwick
Hope Dworaczyk
Missed the first two episodes where I guess "I think I love you" David Cassidy and I have too much silcone lip injections, Lisa Rinna were eliminated. Shucks and I like those two!
When I saw that Marlee Matlin was on, I was like how is she going to get a "word" in with all those women? I could just see her hands flying and the other women telling her to shut up. This season's line up is perfect, leave it to the Donald. There's a few questionable quasi celebrities, like Richard Hatch, aren't you supposed to be in jail somewhere? And Hope whats her name model fame, obviously not a super model. How he landed La Toya and Dionne, love them! It's the battle of the black diva's between Star Jones and Nene of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Nene reign in those breast please! Humm, there'll be no mincing words between those two, tell it like it is, girl! There's John Rich, no mistaking that pompous cowboy hat which he never takes off, because that would make him only 4 foot 3. Then there's Jose Canseco, twitching and grimacing, who said steroid use has no side effects? Hasn't he heard of botox. Freeze those facial muscles! Poor guy. But the funniest, oddest character there who looks like a freezed dried mummy is Gary Busey, which the Donald kept calling him a genius. Yeah, a genuine lunatic! He's like "we're a team" T-E-A-M he spells out, T for together, E-for each, A-for achieves, M- for more, together each achieves more. Corporate America can use that phrase. He's full of odd insightful riddles wrapped in an enigma. What does that mean?
I just want to watch because it's a train wreck and laugh out loud good time.
Nicki Taylor graciously fired herself for losing the camping challenge. Class you can take to the bank. Glad that the Donald finally changed the format with the challenges not having to be about the money all the time. It's just fun to watch celebrities make fools of themselves.

Amazing Race-Dolls, Basketballs, and Double U-Turns

Still racing in China, teams train it to Kunming, City of Eternal Spring. Kent and Vyxsin have time to make up especially now that they have a 30 minute penalty at the end for not catching the required flight the first leg. Is that a razor blade bandana Vyxsin is wearing?
The sleeper train was stacked 3 beds high, never seen that anywhere. The clue says something about Golden Arches and not the McDonald's kind although there are plenty of McD's there. When they were waiting at the train station, Globetrotters struck up a game of basketball putting on a free show. This leg has the threat of a double u-turn so all teams are hyped up. Racing through either a doll challenge or putting together a solar tube panel. I had to laugh on how Globetrotters memorized the doll order, mop head, red head, blue rag head....Luke and Margie make quick work of the tube challenge which was surprising and arrive first at the u-turn, opting not to turn anyone. Kent and Vyxsin make it before the cheerleader, by the hair of Vysxin's bandana and u-turn them right before their eyes. Dismayed, the cheerleaders decide to u-turn Globetrotters, who were not happy. I would have u-turned Christina and Dad since they have the Chinese speaking advantage, which didn't work out too good anyway, since their cab driver took them to the wrong place. Putting the Dinosaur together looked hard and was finally the undoing of the cheerleaders having to do both challenges. Margie and Luke are showing that they are coming on strong having finished the tubes and putting the dinosaur together in quick time, who knows maybe they have a chance to win this time around.
