Survivor Redemption Island-

Instead of calling this season Redemption Island, it should be called Mosquito Island. Kristina and Phillip are covered in a skin of mosquito bites. Yikes, can you get malaria from that? Just looks so nasty. Spending 40 days on an island has to wreck your skin. You'd come back with bites, brown sun spots and wrinkles. That's why I could never sign up for that. Plus the fact I need my pillow and soft bed and warm clothes. Love paradise, but it better be in a resort. Rob and Grant and Stephanie and Krista are sent to redemption island to watch the duel between Kristina and Matt. This time it's building a cube out of heavy blocks. Not fair since Matt will have the advantage of strenght to carry those things. On the other hand, I thought Kristina would have a chance at this since she's pretty smart and was ahead of Matt in setting up her blocks when he knocked his down to start over, but she couldn't pull it out, let alone move those heavy pieces. Stephanie takes the opportunity to tell Rob and Grant that her and Krista are up for grabs now that Russell is gone and they would be willing to join them once they merge. I'm sure Rob is hoping that would be the case since he could convince those two to do anything for him. I'm sure those two would be survivor groupies to Rob's celebrity.

The challenge is the blindfold challenge to collect puzzle bags with Rob as the caller and puzzle maker and Stephanie for the other team. While Rob dumps his puzzle pieces on the table a piece falls on the ground, but thankfully he sees it. Whew close! I knew this was going to be a shoe in for Rob because he can do two things great, solve puzzles and build things. Who knew he could also be crazy devious. When his tribe won reward, Grant and Rob notice a clue in the coffee, which Rob quickly takes, runs to where his hidden immunity idol is buried and switches the clues on Grant. As Rob says, the first clue was clueless, "under a bush, in a tree, on a branch", or in other words anywhere and everywhere.

I kinda felt sorry for the two Manson (Russell) followers, Krista and Stephanie since no surprise here, they are on the chopping block. Everyone is faulting Stephanie for not being better at puzzles, when it was Sarita who chose her to do it, so why isn't she on the chopping block?

Guess the tribe decided to keep Stephanie because she's the stronger of the two players, and I have to hand it to her, the girl's got gumption. Hillbilly Ralph can't spell for nothing as he writes Krista's name as Krasha. Maybe if Hillbilly wins he can go back to school.

The Next Bachelorette-Ashley Hebert

Ashley, third place runner up or cast off of Brad Womack Bachelor season, will be the next season's Bachelorette. The 26 year old dental student is ready to fall in love so bring on the men!

After the Rose-Brad and Emily

The prince proposes to the princess and they rode happily into the South African sunset. Well, not exactly. After watching the After the Rose Ceremony, I got the distinct feeling that Emily is just not that into him. While Brad is definitely head over heels about her. Every time Emily was about to say something negative about their relationship, she would first pat his shoulder and then say, "I love you" and then, "No I'm not moving to Austin", "No we're not getting married" and "Yes, he does have a temper". We watched another Emily emerge. Gone were the Southern Fried charm and in it's place a reality show make over. I hate to say it but her demanding ways were showing. I caught a glimpse of that when on their last date in South Africa when she kept grilling him about her daughter, that he'd have to be there for all the bad stuff too, like emergency runs in the middle of the night, hey I think he gets it. Brad seems fully vested in her, but she's the hesitant one, afraid to take the plunge because maybe in the back of her mind, no one will ever live up to her Ricky.

Both seem extremely stubborn and temperamental, a volatile combination. They confessed to having knock down drag out fights. How knock down and drag out fights can one get over the phone since they haven't been together since the finale? My guess on their relationship lasting, when it rains money! Too bad, we did want the Hollywood ending for Emily, but she looks like she is trying to sabotage it. Come on, where's that sweet Emily that is looking for love?

Amazing Race-In Lijiang China

I have to make this quick, the bachelor finale is in 10 minutes. Teams leave for China, except for some reason the Goths can't seem to find their way to the airport and miss the required flight to China.

Lijiang China looks so awesome, put on bucket list. The plane lands in Kumming, (which I heard means the city of eternal spring), ah that's why it looks so clean and beautiful.

The challenge has the teams riding yaks across the waterfalls, how fun, after which they race to the old city and make candy, Chinese style, with a wooden mallet. The candy looked like toffee with nuts, yum! Asian dad can't seem to stop eating this on this leg much to Christina's frustration, to which she says you can eat when we reach the rest stop. The roadblock has the teams collecting zodiac charms, reminiscent of the locks at the Great Wall challenge. Zev and Justin have a hard time doing this and get so far behind that the Goths catch up with them. Once the Goths catch up, it looked like they finally got out of their funk, but instead Vxysin completely loses her cool and they fall behind again. Christina and dad get on the wrong bus and when Christina tells the bus driver to stop in English, why isn't she speaking Chinese to the Chinese bus driver? So instead she jumps out. Luckily it wasn't going that fast.

First on the mat, Luke and Margie, but all teams find out they are still racing. I'm sure team Goth are spared elimination, even though they are now way behind because they leave their fanny pack on the gondola ride and have to go back.

Bachelor Brad Choses!

And the winner is...... Emily!

Nothing more needs to be said!

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.

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!
