Survivor-Heroes vs Villains-Swimming in Yeah!

One word about this episode, weak as water, ok three words! And Amanda deserved to go home if she couldn't play dirty. What is it about that girl, she always looks like she was just scolded by her mother. The only expression her face knows is pouting. Sure, now she finally plays the game, when she, Danielle and Colby win the challenge and go off to Robert Louis Stevenson's house. Forget that they were in the presence of history, forget that they got to see what most of the world will never see, forget that he was one of the greatest writers, let's look for the idol clue and let's be obvious about it. Amanda was not too sly when she was looking for it. I know if I were there, I so would have found it, because I would have been hogging the popcorn bowl. I don't know why Danielle didn't excuse herself to use the potty when she found the clue, or stick it in those sewn together boobs of hers but instead drops it under the bed. And that whole move by Amanda positioning herself next to Danielle, they must have edited some parts, because first she's on the right side of Colby, (almost looked like some squeaky clean porn scene) and the next thing you know she's slithering around on the floor next to Danielle. Come on, let's be obvious! First of all if I were Amanda, I would have never given over the clue, who cares if Colby didn't back her, no guts no million! Colby should have acted like King Solomon in this situation and ripped the clue in half, or at least read it and then it would have been every man for themselves. Danielle got her just desserts however, when the idol magnet, Russell, beats her in finding it. It's amazing how stupid Danielle is, why would she tell anyone? I could see her telling Par, but Russell? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I was liking Candace up to this point, but when she flipped and spilled the beans on her tribe, Russell lived to see another day. Who could blame Sandra with voting with the villains, she did her best in trying to reason with deaf heroes to vote out Russell, but Candace who hasn't had any game decides to start playing, why?
Looks like maybe the villains will be turning on their king (Russell) and the ladies in waiting will strike next week to get him out. How he's last this long is beyond me, oh yeah, because everyone is so stupid! One word about Jerri, who this entire season has not uttered one memorable word until last night, when doing her cat ate a rat smile (she has the smallest little teeth) after winning the immunity challenge, said that she is "swimming in Yeah". I'm adopting that sentence, without the arm movements, thanks Jerri!-Single D

Amazing Race-Shanghai and He Pingping

All teams board a flight to Shanghai, China, with Brent exclaiming that all those charming waterways reminded him of Sicily, er don't you mean Venice? Shanghai, the Venice of China, looks absolutely beautiful and clean... put on bucket list. I've been to Hong Kong and the Hunan Provence, but never to Shanghai. Isn't that where Tom Cruise runs though the alleyways in Mission Impossible? The roadblock is to make China's famed noodles by hand, where they are greeted by a impossibly small Chinese Mini Mee, He Pingping, who sadly the episode was in tribute to because he passed away in March of this year from heart complications. Probably from all that smoking as he sucked cigarettes after cigarettes, he was a chain smoker. As the cowboys said, smoking does stunt your growth. He Pingping was entered into Guinness World Book of Records as the world smallest man (tell me that shoe is a size 12?) and he was certainly a cutie. Louie bragged that he's Italian and could make pasta, which turned out to be an utter disaster. Jordan kept complaining about his frozen fingers, woosie, and Brent kept yelling at Caite to go faster. Shut your pie hole! Jet plowed on in quite diligence like they usually do and managed to finish first and run to the next roadblock, making a large stadium puzzle sign. I was so hoping that Brent and Caite would mess this challenge up especially when a big gust of wind swept Brent's puzzle pieces away, but it would be the detectives, who had a pretty good run of doing mostly everything without a hiccup, couldn't master puzzle making. Come on, it's a puzzle, you should be good at solving it. Fortunately for them, this was a non-elimination leg and they live to see another day of racing. This will probably be a show down with the four teams running to the finish. Still hoping for oh my gravy to win first!-Single D

Survivor-Heroes vs Villains-See Ya JT

I spent the entire episode throwing pillows at my TV and screaming stupid, stupid stupid. Has JT been living in a cave this past year? He is so dumb he makes Forrest Gump look like Albert Einstein. Shoot, he even said that Russell could be the leader of the villains, but then shook his head like a dummy, uh I don't think so. A People interview had him saying that the whole note thing made it look like it was only his idea, but that it was everyone trying to put their "two cents" in it as well. Well, I'm just wondering whose bright idea it was in the first place to even write a note and give the idol, since it was JT's in the beginning. Humm? In a breaking news flash, the Chicago Sun Times has reported that Russell has been charged for simple battery for knocking down a woman in Louisiana. He was probably grabbing an hidden immunity idol!
When the tribes merge, I'm finally thinking maybe Sandra will tell the heroes just what is going on and who is really pulling the strings. She manages to tell Rupert who then tells the others. But do they listen to him? NO. Come on, as told by the mouth of a villain and no one believes her. Yeah I know, she doesn't exactly look trusting, she does have that cunning hungry look about her, but anyone with two brain cells should have given that some thought. Only Rupert who runs around like some Nostradamus tries to persuade the others, but it only falls on dumb ears. JT sways the camp to vote out Sandra. Come on, Sandra, really? That's what you get when you give vital information that could save your ass, a thanks and a vote out! The heroes don't have any idea that the self proclaimed queen, Paravati holds the other idol, much to Russell's ignorance. JT's thinking that he'll ask Russell to vote out Paravati to show his trust, yeah right. Russell hasn't done anything trustworthy or has he? when in a surprising turn of what, stupidity? trustworthiness? (why are the men so stupid?) gives Paravati his idol so now queen bee has in her possession, two hidden immunity idols as she laughs her evil grin all the way to the bank. At tribal, the heroes think they have this sewn up, but right before the votes are read, we are thinking, will Par give over her idol? Instead she does a double whammy and gives one to Sandra and one to Jerri (who grins like a Cheshire cat who swallowed a rat). She in this one fell swoop out plays Russell by giving away two immunity idols. Whoever does that? Give away two idols? She's like a female Russell! Cheese and crackers didn't see that one coming and neither did JT as his torch is put out and his tail is between his legs! Just goes to show you can't make a pact with the devil and live to tell about it. -Single D

Survivor-The Stupidest Move Ever!

In what has got to be the stupidest move of all time and surely will go into the annuals of the most buffoonish moves ever, JT gives over his precious immunity idol over to the idol magnet and puppet master himself, on the other team no less, Russell. Unless there was some clever editing cutting, why didn't anyone one the heroes tribe slap JT silly and try to stop him? Instead, even Rupert (and not surprising there, he doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the block) didn't stand up to JT and say Cheese and Crackers man, that is so damn stupid! Amanda tried in her own weak way (weak as water!) and what about Colby? It's no wonder everyone on the villains tribe were having a good laugh at the expense of JT and his little love note. Heroes tribe is so dumb they deserve to lose. At this point I'm not caring who wins this thing, and if diabolical Russell goes to the end, then surely he deserves to win this whole thing and if he does go to the end, let's hope he makes the right decision on who to go up against. Can't wait for the tribes to merge and then maybe Sandra, who in my book is earning points for being smart and knowing just what kind of game Russell is playing, will spill on her tribe to the heroes, which will and should throw JT onto the chopping block for that dumb move.
Taking a look back at all the previous winners of Survivor, the ones I can remember winning, were either the really good guys, like Tom and Ethan or the really bad ones, like Hatch and Parvati. The ones that made it to end by not really doing anything much are soon forgotten, like Chris Daughtry (Vanuatu), whose he? or Danni Boatwright (Guatamala) whose she? or Aras of Exile whose he?
Oh well, we now know how really stupid these people are and that playing Survivor for either a second or third time really doesn't make you a better player.
Goodbye to Courtney whose skinny torch was extinguished, now go home and eat some fried chicken for heavens sake!-Single D

Amazing Race-Undone by Caite and Brent Gump

Imagine the anger of not only getting eliminated from the race but to get eliminated by stupid is as stupid does, Caite and Brent Gump's one bright shining moment in u-turning the lesbians right out of the game, although the detectives lay claim by planting that seed in their minds, yeah right. Caite has hated the lesbians ever since they made that crack about her tiara. The lesbians really did have a bad attitude, although they did come up with some pretty funny sarcastic lines, but sarcasm is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get when you throw them out and in this case, eliminated!
All the teams catch up on the overnight train to Singapore. The train looked dirty and smelly, did you see the dirt on Caite's bed, gag! Team Lesbo tries to squeeze their way to the front of the train, what's up with that, did they really think the other teams would let them pass so they could be the first ones off? Not! From that point on, I was so hoping that Brent and Caite would beat them to the u-turn station.
Singapore looked hot and sweaty, but I would have done the ice cream challenge in a heart beat rather than learn how to beat a drum. That was hard especially for the cowboys who don't have a musical bone in their body. Oh my gravy, I so thought they wouldn't finish that challenge and would have to sell ice cream. How nice was it that the taxi driver for the detectives bought the last 10 ice creams so they could make their numbers. I hope they gave him a really big tip! And ice cream wedged between two slices of bread, weird, although the ice cream looked good.
Can you believe that it's down to the final four? Never thought those teams would be the ones left standing and still hoping the cowboys or the detectives win, but at this point it's any teams game since they are all about the same in terms of bubba gump-ness.-Single D

Survivor-Heroes vs Villains

Is there anyone on this show that isn't dumb as rocks? Everyone there has played this game over and over and yet they still don't get it. The first rule to this game is trust no one, the second rule, trust no one, the third rule, trust no one. How stupid is everyone? Coach was a dummy the first time around, with all that dragon slayer bs, all his grandiose stories that no one believes and all that pseudo psycho babble that he preaches. The crazy thing is he believes all that crap. If his inner strength was so strong ya think he would have some hold over people. He's about as strong as that feather in his hair. And didn't you want to yell at JT over there on the heroes tribe, no it's not a friggin all girl tribe thing going on, it's demonic Russell's mind control games again! Didn't they watch last season? It's like they land on the island and everything they've ever watched on Survivor goes out the window. Everyone on the heroes tribe is so friggin polite that when JT found the idol no one would say out loud, hey we were supposed to find that idol together, ya huh? But no, a whisper here and a raised eyebrow but nary a word to JT.
After the heroes won the immunity challenge, back at the villains camp, Jerri gets all crazy like the going after the two weakest players, Sandra and Courtney. Hey, everyone knew from day 1 that Courney doesn't have the strength to throw a coconut, so when Jerri lashes out that they should have done the bowling challenge and sit out the immunity one, Sandra was not having it. Finally we get a rise out of Sandra. We all know Courtney, pencil girl has a sassy mouth, but Sandra this game and her previous game flew below the radar to win the game and the distinction of never having her name written down, except to win the million, so she must be doing something right. Since Sandra knows Russell's Achilles heel, she tells him that Coach wants him out. Of course that's the knife in Russell's back and sets him on the course to get rid of him, but Danielle, finally coming to her senses, why are we voting out the strong ones, a little too late now, huh?
The voting at tribal was curious, a three three split between Courtney and Coach, with the seventh vote sending Coach to the jury hut. A quick glance showed that Sandra, Courtney, Pavaroti and Russell voting Coach, with Jerri, Danielle, and Coach voting Courtney. Well, Coach should feel some love that Jerri didn't vote him off. Now go back to your lotus position or whatever that thing you do and meditate that the villains are going down in flames!-Single D

Amazing Race-Back in the Saddle Again

It's down to the last 6 teams as everyone makes their way from SayChilly, say what? To Malaysia, where it looks impossibly hot! Boy I know how hot Asia can be, humid, sweaty and stinky, although I hear Malaysia is really clean. The cowboys come from behind in this leg of the race, from dead last to first or as Cord said as they jumped on the mat, we're back in the saddle again. This is the most unlikely group left in the history of the race. It's like a race between the world's worst teams. I wouldn't have given any team a chance in heck of winning this race, yet, the dummies, Brent and Caite are still there and I might add, getting quite the head on them thinking that they were beating out team lesbo to the mat (think again). At least they provide the much needed laugh relief with their airhead mistakes, because watching everyone else is kinda like reading the telephone book, yawner! Brothers Dan and Jordan, which one is gay? Can't believe they are still there with both of them being SO pansy, yes pansy, come out of the closet, you can't fool us! Team detectives are ok but not exactly riveting TV and team lesbo well, they're just plain getting on my nerves. It was sad to see dad and Allie leave the show. Still don't get how they messed up so bad that they came in last. For crying out loud Allie, at least you could have tried to balance that incredibly long pole on your head, so what if it was like carrying a flagpole the length of 3 football fields. The cowboys aced that challenge. They crack me up on how they approach each challenge, likening it to doing something they did when they were kids. Being last they also had to do the speed bump which required smelling the spice and then picking the right teapot to serve to the guru. Well, with three teapots, they got it right on the second try. The only team worth their salt in this whole thing are still the cowboys and I'm keeping my boots crossed that they beat everyone else. -Single D

Survivors-Heroes vs Villains-Goodbye Rob

Well, was it a hero or a villain who made his departure last Thursday? I guess there would be controversy over that one. For many, a total and devasting loss, sniff! Rob still couldn't get his head around Tyson's departure. Wait till he hears that it was Tyson that brought his own undoing. Without Rob leading the challenge, who is worthy to take the reins? Everyone on the villains tribe is so villainous that it positively made Boston Rob look saintly with the biggest devil (Russell) still playing at the mind control games and this time on easily swayed Jerri. You so knew she'd switch with just a tidbit of a promise she flip flops like a fish out of water. How can anyone be so blinded by that evil Hobbit (who said that?) Russell? Coach blames Jerri for his making a pact with the devil, for crying out loud, stop playing that bulls--t nobility crap! What was with that cowardly vote for Courtney, so you can tell your conscience that you still are true to your word? BS! That non vote was the nail that sealed Boston Robs fate, if anything, why couldn't he swayed Jerri to vote for Courtney, then the two could have battled it out, let the chips fall where they may. Guess his manly persuasion doesn't work so well on Jerri, contrary to his egotist mind. Well, with Boston Rob gone will the villains be able to win any challenges since he led them to win so many times. Let's take stock, Courtney is good for nothing (but baring her bony body) and should have been long gone, Coach is not really a strong player although he pretends he is (in his own mind), and gives it that old school try, the other girls together are not much of a threat not like Candice on the heroes tribe (she's strong!) and Russell, well, I'm sure he employs mind control over the heroes to lose. So in all, villains appear not to be so much of a threat with their biggest player gone. Too bad, yes, Boston Rob made amends this time around and really showed some character telling Jerri, you just do what you have to do to get yourself further in the game. What tell that skank to take a hike! The only way Jerri is going any further in this game is riding the coattails of someone else which was Coach, but will he still let her? He needs to dump her, come on Coach, let your ego go, you don't need her stroking. Geez, men are so stupid!
So glad that the heroes won both challenges which they sorely needed to boost their bruised egos especially Colby who redeemed himself and proved to his tribe that he needed to be there. Now if they can keep it up to the merge then let the chaos begin. Looks like next week the leaderless villains try to devour each other, should be fun, I love to watch people self-destruct!-Single D

Amazing Race-It's Seychelles Not SayChilly!

Two teams that passed the pronunciation test on how to say Seychelles, were father-daughter and the lesbos, everyone else big F. When Caite said you know who the bad kids were in school, Brent was like, uh dud, speak for yourself. Come on Brent, you're a dummy, just admit it, is that unanimous or anonymous, huh? Phil has to correct him by saying, everyone wants the team Lesbos out and that is unanimous, not anonymous, uh dud.
Doesn't the Seychelles look amazing, put on bucket list.
I cracked up with the two challenges, turtle trot or Ox cart. I guess turtles only react to nice people, that's maybe why Allie was able to lure the turtle to the finish line with the banana. Team Lesbo picked the wrong turtle, either it was the same turtle and he wasn't hungry or he just didn't like their pushy attitude, probably the latter. So it was off with them to do the coconut challenge. Who knew a wayward coconut could so trip you up, but three teams, the cowboys, the lesbos and team dummy (models) no surprise there, didn't see a coconut escape being tossed in their wagon. Caite practically had a melt down (gee we were doing so good, she whines), yeah just because you managed to get seats in the front of the plane and were the first ones off the plane was the one lucky break and probably the only break you'll get. When she heard that they didn't have all their coconuts I was that's right, they're both short a few coconuts in the head.
The brothers got an oxen who looked like he had runny poop problems with Jordan complaining to the ox not to swipe his tail when he was sh!--ing! Yuck!
Team detectives managed not to trip themselves up this leg and ended up a respectable 4th. But team cowboys are slipping up and letting their country bumpkin surface, forgetting their bottle with their map in it (hey that's something the models would do!), so they had to go back to the boat and retrieve it, which made them place last. Thankfully, it was a non-elimination round so they get a second chance next week.
It was good for Steve and Allie to win this round and what a nice prize, dinner on the beach and $7000.00 each. Whoppie! Now go out and buy a new backpack and clothes (or do they get to go back and retrieve their stuff?)-Single D

Survivor vs Villains-Double Elimination

There's only room for one king in the camp so it becomes a showdown between Russell and Rob. Rob tells Russell that he's playing with the big guys now, which doesn't sit well for the little guy. He don't know who he's messing with and with that Russell smiles that evil grin. Boston Rob has gone from the guy you love to hate, to the guy you love and now he's back to the guy you love to hate again.
The heroes still can't win a damn challenge, this time around being reward and immunity for each side. When Candace won for the heroes, I knew she wouldn't have a chance going against up Rob, who seems undefeatable in every challenge. He's a god, (ok I still like him a little for now). I thought JT would be so good at this challenge, but something is slowing him down. He's not as sharp this second time around, either that or he's just not as hungry ($$) this time around. One thing though, you have to give James snaps for not giving up. He managed to beat as he says, the fat guy and Colby, which in his book is reason enough to keep him. But is it?
Since Rob beats Candace at the showdown, the villains get to eat hot dogs and soda at the heroes tribal council, how cruel!
Once back at camp a defeated Colby throws in the towel and says just put me out of my misery and as James says to him, you're just an old guy in a superman suit. You're not my hero anymore, waaaaa! And so with that Colby takes on the sacrafical lamb role, but the camp is having second thoughts as to James physical ability. Amanda looked like she wanted to burst out balling right there. What? Is she and James having a showmance? I love you, no I love you more!
Back at the villains camp there is a lot of scrambling, as Russell is being called out for having the idol. Boston Rob tells the camp for three to vote Paravoti and for three to vote Russell, that way if he gives it to Paravoti then he will be voted out visa versa. Brilliant no? Tyson agrees, but then changes his mind, when the devil (Russell) whispers in his ear that he is voting for Paravoti and he should do the same, so Tyson changes his vote which ultimately became his demise or as he says "I was a victim of my own stupidity. It ended up being my demise. I'm still pretty awesome." Pretty stupid is what you are!
While the villains stuff their mouth with hot dogs, they get to watch the heroes devour one of their own in a very tame tribal sending the person who should have went home last week instead of Tom, James, who this season seems fiercely trying to win without that winning attitude. James, you need to go home and rest that knee and uh also, take a personality check. What happened to that mellow guy? -Single D

Amazing Race-So Long Big Brother

Well it's about time. Big Brother needed to be put out of their misery. And were they even trying to race? Everything with them was like in slo-mo. They didn't want to win, they just wanted a free trip, see the countryside and have a few laughs. At least this episode had some interesting challenges and a confusing road block twist, what there are two Tattinger's? Pierry or Reims, with half the teams going to Reims. Wrong! Who could even race this leg, with such beautiful countryside to see and all that champagne? So was Jeff the only person who got to taste the champagne after he saber corked it? I've always wanted to do that, drink it, no really, saber cork it.
Dad Steve so wanted to drink that champagne, he was practically drooling. And once again, I must have been looking elsewhere, because next thing I know, Dad Steve is duct taping the front end of the Mercedes they are driving. What, did he run over a magnum of champagne? Again the models prove themselves the dumbest team ever, with completely missing picking up the clue, by passing the challenge and trying to land themselves on the mat only to realize, whoops, we didn't do the challenge! Uh dud, we were just following the other team. I hope they stay on, because where would all the laughs come from? All the models do is bicker and get on each other's last nerve. I about fell off the couch when they built the towering champagne glass pyramid only to have it come crashing down when Brent started pouring the champagne. Geez, Caite said slowly! Once again the look on their faces, priceless! I wished I had one of those dvr thingys where I could have replayed that over and over. LMAO!
And while the cowboys start off on the wrong foot by going to the wrong town and then to the wrong Tattinger, they did redeem themselves by finding their bunch of grapes rather quickly. I think it might come down with the Detectives, who are finally using some of their brawn to pull ahead and the cowboys (let's hope their country bumpkin doesn't take over). You could so tell that team Big Brother was out of the race because their tower of glasses challenge was so glossed over. Hey that could have been so funny, another glass crash, but it cut straight to the vineyards with them to trying to find their grapes of wrath in the dark, and then to Phil telling them they've been eliminated, much to their lazy-ass relief.-Single D

Amazing Race-Baguettes and Bicycles

Didn't quite understand the whole taking the group by bus to a undisclosed location somewhere in the beautiful countryside of France. Did they get to sleep in that castle? I know Phil was snug as a bug in there. Does he have the most wonderful job of all? When in France a trip to the boulangerie is a must, so off teams go in search of the bakery shop. Most of the teams got it that they had to break open the baguette to get their next clue except for airhead team Big Brother. I am so over them, read my lips, over you Big Brother, or now to be dubbed, dumb and dumber. Jordan was so painfully irritating this episode. I wanted to take that pith helmet and boots and knock her out. What a pathetic racer. As Jeff said, get your boobs on the ground and drag yourself. Whiner!
I thought team detectives did a brilliant but dirty move in u-turning the smart (we're not dumb people) Asian team. Didn't think Joe did that much bragging, but who knows with all that creative editing they do, he could have been bragging for two hours on the bus! I would be so u-turning the smartest and fastest couple myself. One of the challenges involved Morse code, which team Asian had to do as the u-turn. Who knew Morse code would be so hard? Guess that is why all teams chose to drag themselves through the mud and mortar instead of decoding, which proved to be the undoing for team Asian, Joe and Heidi, which out of all team would be the ones to cipher it. Instead tired, cold and utterly wretched, Joe and Heidi huddle in the trenches as Phil fetches them to tell them they have been eliminated. Now for all my hard outer shell, I have to admit that was sort of sad, sniff!
The two teams I don't want to win are team Big Brother, and team models. I loved it when Phil tells team model you are the 6th team to arrive....however. Did you see the look on Caite's face. So comical with that mustache and all. HiLLarious! They are surely a firm second for the next dumbest team on the race. Still rooting for the cowboys. After this race they should totally be cultured and all, with eating baquettes (as they said it) and drinking German beer, bungee jumping with cowboy hats and polo playing on wooden horses. Now that's getting cultured!-Single D

Survivor-Heroes vs Villains

Hey wait a minute, I thought Russell, being the idol magnet that he is, found the hidden immunity idol last week, but apparently not, as he finds it this episode, either that or there was some editing going on. I'm thinking there was editing going on.
I am just so sick of the Heroes losing every challenge. They can't win for nothing and it's because Boston Rob has all of a sudden this season turned into the good guy. And ya, some of you might disagree, but he really has mellowed out. That's what will happen when you marry the million dollar winner, have kids, go on Amazing Race, and get to be on every Survivor reunion show. Life is good. And yes, he should probably swap sides. He's been instrumental in the villains winning all the challenges, so doesn't that make him a good guy? Meanwhile, the heroes who can't get their act together are quickly becoming the villains in this game. Come on, I dare you to name a real hero on that tribe. Maybe Colby? And what, are they stupid? Keeping loud mouth brute James over Tom? The heroes better hope that James's leg recovers before their next challenge, otherwise, he wasn't worth keeping, brawny arms and all. Maybe Tom's inability to solve puzzles was what was keeping them down. Too bad Tom gets voted out, I still think he had a lot of game in him. Now it remains to be seen if anyone can emerge as a leader. JT again gets himself in a jam by siding with both sides. Come on, chose sides, or the tribe will come after you.
When James hurt himself, Amanda was all sad like whose going to take care of me if he goes, she whimpers. Yeah right, it's all about you, Amanda. James is a fool to stay on, lets see fix leg or live with it broken for the rest of your life. Could be serious, but the game is more important to James or maybe it's the million dollars that is more important. Don't hold your breath James, your days are numbered so you might as well have left.
Looks like next week, Rob and Russell have a showdown, because two kings can't run the camp. Should be interesting. -Single D

Jason and Molly's Wedding

Can I say one thing, who would get married outside in the middle of Feb? Yeah, I know it's California but it does rain in California! And did all over Molly and Jason. Weren't there storm warnings, because nothing like a torrential downpour while you're saying your vows and guests are whipping out their umbrellas. Well, can't say much for Molly's color choice, what was that green and white? Or was that chartreuse? I loved Trista and Ryan's wedding. Now that was romantic even if it was overly pink. But I like pink she says. Set against the lovely sun setting over the Pacific, guest weren't forced to wear their winter coats. Seemingly, the bachelor family looks like it's trying to set another wedding date for Jillian and Ed. Who knew they were still together. Funny how some of the past players have swapped partners. Well, I hope Molly and Jason are happy together and hopefully they went someplace dry for their honeymoon.-Single D

Amazing Race-Sauerkraut and Beer

It was either good luck or the bumbling detectives finally figured out something on their own, hook up the the cowboys of course. With a two time first place finish, the cowboys are proving to be a force to be reckoned with and they've never been off the range! The flight the two teams took through Paris turned out to give them a head start over the other teams which takes them to Hamburg Germany (no you aren't going to eat hamburgers!) where they have to pair up with each other to take a bungee leap. I had to crack up when Jet didn't take his hat off during the leap. He said to the German guy, it won't come off. Yeah, but you're bungee jumping! Sure enough, that darn hat stayed on his head which proves as he said "a real cowboy hat never comes off", so now we know.
When Brandy paired up with Dan for the bungee jump, on the way down, I thought Brandy's terrifying scream made her look like that Edvard Munch painting "The Scream", either that or she turned Asian on the way down!
If given the choice of eating or soccer punting, I'd probably chose eating, my only question would be how much sauerkraut? The detective chose eating of course and for the first time during this race made the right decision, with Michael wolfing down most of it. Way to go big guy. Next it was on to downing a big boot of beer. Most of the girls were like, this beer is nasty, although team lesbo were able to chug just like the guys, while Brent is puking his guts out. He's so delicate! King of the chuggers was dad Steve. He really surprised me. With a slurp and a burp they finished that challenged and moved into 2nd place. I would have been so drunk on that huge beer boot. Where's my bed! Only brother Dan said that he was drunk, well isn't he the lightweight? The pit stop is some bar in the red light district. Amazing Race is getting spicer in it's old age. Team Big Brother's big dumb luck managed to get them in last place, which dumb luck would have it was a non-elimination round. How are they ever gonna come from behind? They deserve to go home, nothing seems to faze them, like when they did the eating challenge, Jeff wimps out while Jordan is holding her nose while daintily spooning sauerkraut in her mouth. When they came in last, they were like oh well. Well oh well and oh my gravy, I'm still rooting for the cowboys.-Single D
