CBS, Survivor Gabon
No Comments
On last weeks Survivor, Charlie was kicked out of the game thanks to Nobag’s weakest members. Tonight those who were friends with Charlie weren’t too happy as Randy and Corinne silently freaked out, well for the night following Tribal Council at least. The following day it was all about the hidden idols. Yes I put an s on that, although there really aren’t two. Bob found it smart, for some reason, to tell Sugar, and only Sugar, that he made a fake Immunity Idol. She played it off well as she didn’t let on that she has the real one. In the end Sugar just became even more powerful as she has the real idol and knows that there is another one now floating around. Who would have though she’d become the most powerful person in the game? I sure didn’t! With the idols now out in the air it was time for the next reward. While getting the tree mail both Corinne and Randy talked about how much they hated everyone remaining. They feel they are the only two now aligned from old Kota and realized that Matty had to switch over.
This tie with Matty played a role in the next reward challenge which brought back the Survivor Auction. Each of the players were given $500 and given the chance to bid on several items. First up were three cold beers and it was a bidding war between Randy and Sugar. She kept bidding to get Randy’s bid higher and higher and it worked. After getting the beer, Randy was left with only $320. The next item up was the dreaded covered item and Kenny took it home. It was a note to send someone to Exile Island and gain their money. Kenny didn’t waste any time and sent Bob to exile once again, knowing there is no idol and knowing Bob thinks there is. Sugar, who had been very vocal, got the next item of chocolate and peanut butter while Susie won a bubble bathe. Corinne won the only other individual reward in an advantage in the next immunity challenge. Kenny could have outbid her but in the end he didn’t need it. The last item was for the tribe and Randy won cookies for everyone. Although it was a nice gesture he turned into an idiot. He wanted to “own all the cookies” and designated who got the most. He gave Corinne and Matty one and half each while everyone received one. In the end only one cookie remained and, since she didn’t take one at first, Sugar took the last cookie and gave it to Matty. Randy wasn’t to happy about that move and made everyone know when returning to camp.

America's Toughest Jobs, NBC
2 Comments
On the latest America’s Toughest Jobs the crew go skyward as they clean, paint and fix lights 60 stories in the air as a bridge maintenance crew. Following last weeks leave of Rie everyone realized that it was still any one’s game. This week the job was bridge maintenance and not everyone was excited. Both Chris and Steven were afraid of heights of weren’t looking forward to climbing on top of the bridge. Michael was excited though as she loves heights and did well along with everyone else.
As the crew moved to their first job they had to walk on a small pathway underneath the road of the bridge. Chris had some trouble, clinging to the side of the wall, and everyone had a laugh at his expense. When they got to the location to haul their tools up the seven remaining players had to walk out onto a small platform, hang over the side and pull their tools up. Steven was up first and although he was scared he was able to pull through. Chris had some trouble though as he stood back too far and almost spilled his tool container to the water below. Everyone else easily walked out and did the job moving onto the next.

CBS, Greatest American Dog
10 Comments
Who would of thunk it? Greatest American Dog has revealed their winner every episode since the very first. I’ll explain more at the very end but for now lets get to the finale! Following the elimination of Teresa and Leroy it was down to the final three of JD/Galaxy, Laurie/Andrew and Travis/Presley. As they returned from the elimination the three owners discussed JD’s comments to Victoria, the head judge. They had a little spat last episode as she believed JD was using a mechanical method to train Galaxy, something Victoria highly disagrees with. As he was revealed to be safe JD said he would never threaten the “love of his life”, directed at Victoria’s statements. Back at the house Laurie told JD that she agreed with Victoria that he can be scary to his dogs. JD disagreed once again and walked away leaving Laurie and Travis to discuss it. They both agreed that he is threatening to his dog and he just doesn’t get it.
In the Best in Show Arena the three were told that they weren’t at the finals yet. One more would be expelled before the final two and it would be decided following a test from the judges. Laurie was up first and the judges grilled her on Andrew’s separation anxiety. Laurie told them its merely that he likes to follow her around and it was put the test. One of the judges, Wendy, then asked Laurie to leave and placed Andrew next to her own dog: Lucky. The two played for a bit but Andrew eventually ran back into the green room in search of his beloved Laurie. The judges had a good laugh about it and JD was up next. The judges told JD that he and Galaxy were the most experienced coming into the game but JD’s answer to that was to his disadvantage. By saying he learned nothing from the other owners and that Galaxy didn’t really grow throughout the weeks made JD seem rather arrogant and seemed to put the judges even more against him. Last up was Travis and Presley who were definitely the underdogs the entire show. The judges asked how Travis got his far and he said by watching the others. It was down to one final test that Victoria put Presley though. She put a treat first in her hand, next on the floor and finally on Presley paw. He didn’t even budge for it all three times and Victoria seemed to fall in love with Presley right then and there.

I Love Money, VH1
1 Comment
After last weeks crazy I Love Money it was time to jump right into the next challenge. Both teams had to shift team captains and Entertainer and Boston were chosen for their teams. What they had to do was choose pairs for the challenge which was an eating challenge. Well at least they THOUGHT they were going to be eating things. What they actually had to do was kiss. Ultimately they had a “kiss off” where the last couple kissing would win. For the gold team the teams were as follows: Rodeo/Hoopz, Heather/12 Pack, Toastee/Pumpkin with Entertainer being by himself. Boston took a different approach and put the teams based on who would and wouldn’t eat the food. Heat/Destiny, Meagan/White Boy, Brandi/Real and Boston/Chance were the teams for the green team.
Following the little announcement that it would be a kiss off everyone laughed that Boston and Chance would have to be kissing. Rodeo did her famous laugh along with everyone else who just freaked out about it. The host then gave the rules and basically whoever kept their lips locked the longest won for their team. One small rule was then given, everyone HAD to be kissing when the time started which means that if Boston/Chance didn’t even start kissing the whole team would lose. Heather opened her mouth to tell Chance that he’d be on TV forever kissing Boston, she even through in a “Best Week Ever” plug. Chance didn’t like this too much but the countdown started to begin. It all came down to Chance and Boston and Chance wouldn’t go through with it, losing the entire challenge for the green team.
Chance then went off on Heat who threw a towel on him. It kind of ruined the Gold Teams win but of course its a VH1 show so there HAS to be a major fight sometime. Destiney then got into the fight for sticking up for Heat. Chance didn’t like it too much as they went off on each other for a bit. Since Heat didn’t defend Destiney back the crying then continued and Entertainer jumped in to grab his “girl”. In the end Entertainer was given the power to kick one of the green team members out. It was a quick challenge but Entertainer sure took the leadership role to his head.
When the group got back to the house Destiney told Heat how she felt that he didn’t stick up for her. Entertainer then moved in once again and told Destiney how he stood up for her when Heat didn’t. The two then spent some time in the pool and apparently they are “dating” now. Another breakup/romance then began between 12 Pack and Meagan. He told her that he’d keep her safe, along with Boston and Meagan leaned in for a kiss knowing that it would screw up the Gold Team. While Heather was floating in the pool 12 Pack decided to flirt with Meagan. Heather and Meagan then had a chat about the flirting and Heather let everyone know what he’s been doing. Well all the girls at least. When she finally confronted 12 Pack, Entertainer was sitting there and realized that Megan has to go. He felt that she was a trouble starter and if she’s in the box she’ll probably end up going.
The next morning the Green Team entered the vault for the first time to enter three teams into the lock box. The three in the box would be up for elimination and it was surely going to be a crazy one. It was then up for a vote and everyone decided that Chance, Real and White Boy should go into the box. The three guys didn’t agree with that and wanted two girls and Heat in the box. In the end nobodies name were in the box after the fifteen minutes so the Entertainer got to choose three names to go in for their team. In the end the Gold Team chose Megan, Heat and Mr. Boston.
Following the Vault meeting Entertainer was sent on a Power Outing with the three he put into the box. For their outing they went out to heat and out for some wine tasting. None of the three really talked that much but Boston tried to play a Toastee. He pretended to act sick and “threw up”. He puked the entire time they were at the eatery and Megan cracked up the entire time. It was kind of obvious that he was faking although he was blowing chunks. Megan really didn’t take the chance to talk though as she knew that Entertainer wanted to send her home. She told him that she knew he didn’t like her and he told her he’d love to send her home.
Back at the house White Boy was trying to send Heat home as he told Entertainer that Destiney still had feelings for Heat. When it came time for the elimination to occur the three stood in front of the Entertainer who had all the power. Before he chose who went Entertainer chose Boston to stay since he looked like a wreck at the power outing. Both Heat and Megan felt they were leaving but Heat was the one who was sent packing since he was dating Destiney and now he is so he had to go. Something like that, I think. Although Entertainer saved Megan he still doesn’t like her. Um maybe he doesn’t but she’s sure like able across the TV!

Big Brother 9, CBS
2 Comments
Wow I must say, this has been one of the craziest and insane episodes of Big Brother all season and in a LONG time! Not only did several explosions occur but they went down LIVE with no editing so we got it all full force. It all began with Easter in the Big Brother house. Unlike most Easters, this one was not nice and cheery but rather insane! It started off normal with Chelsia simply expressing her annoyance with Natalie in the Diary Room. But as Natalie finished dying eggs for Easter, something inside Chelsia snapped. She started off by smashing single eggs but realized nobody really cared. So she decided to smash ALL of the eggs in the bowl, basicially making Natalie and Sharon’s egg dying fun pointless. She went off and continued to make very childish and crazy remarks trying to get people riled up but it seemed to have the opposite affect.
The only really dull moment of the show was Adam’s ‘interview from home’ package which tried to make up for Adam’s small little comment earlier in the season. His family basically kept saying how generous and nice and caring he was, trying to roll back any bad media he’s had. It was nice to kind of see Adam on the show for once though as he’s been overshadowed lately but otherwise it just couldn’t compare to the rest of the show.
When it came time for the votes both Sharon and Chelsia were given some time to give a speech on to why they should stay. Sharon gave a rather quick little talk saying she had fun and would like to stay, while Chelsia went off and off hard. She basically told everyone that they have been ‘breast feeding’ off of each other. Although she slipped in there that she’d ‘love to stay’ I think her comments were mean to cause drama and rile people. I mean she even make a quick little laugh seconds after she said it.
When all the votes were in they were all for Chelsia to go, even James’ vote. Julie pulled a fast one by making it seem like Sharon would go and made Chelsia crap her pants it seemed for a few seconds. But Julie changed her mind and let Chelsia know she was going which sent her off on another crazy, live rant.
The second, and last rant, of Chelsia was even worse then the first and had every one’s jaw dropping. She pointed out to everyone, except her friends, what she thought their bad traits were. She told Adam that he had no balls and continued to tell Natalie to get an education since she has none. She did say something to Sheila but I can’t seem to remember what. Before she left the house Chelsia began to whisper to both Joshuah and James. When talking to Julie she said she gave them both a pep talk and wanted them to ‘explode the house’ by winning HoH for her.
At the HoH challenge though something very interesting happened. The challenge was to guess who America chose for several questions that were posted on CBS.com. Both Natalie and Joshuah were tied for the lead about half way through but after a single question Natalie was up in front. At the 6th question she had already clinched the win and did just that by winning her first HoH. It was interesting to see the HoH stay on the same side but I think Natalie will use this HoH to shake up the house even more. She’s become a HUGE player since Matty left and I really feel like she could win this game. Don’t be surprised if Joshuah goes up with Sharon or James. The only question is, who would she put up if the 3rd of that ’side’ wins HoH and basically forces Natalie to put up one of her own.
