The Biggest Loser Families Episode 9

Following black team’s horrible performance in The Biggest Loser Families Episode 8, the girls stuck together and voted out their only guy, Phil. These people are making it difficult to root for either team.

In a quite thoroughly revolting display, the blue team proves why everybody hates them. Vicky is absolutely thrilled that Phil is gone and can’t control her giggling. She’s glad he’s gone because he would be a horrible role model for America. And apparently she would be a good one.

Bob’s got a challenge for his team. Whoever runs the farthest for three minutes will win a banana fudge sundae. That’s a prize? Amy C manages to outrun the rest. There’s a catch. This is really a Jello/Cool Whip commercial in disguise.

Alison’s got an announcement. They’re no longer in teams. Vicky warns us we’ll have 4 blue standing in the finale. Scary thought. Then Alison asks them to follow her to the scale. In walks Phil. Vicky says she’ll need to see a psych doctor. Too easy.

Behind Phil are the other eliminated contestants, some of whom some people may actually remember. Jerry is not there with them, but only because he had to work. Only one of them will be returning, and it will be based on the challenge rather than weight loss. Still, they plan to see how the at home players have been doing.

Jerry: 339 pounds (-41, 10.78%)
Shellay: 177 pounds (-39, 18.05%)
Tom: 266 pounds (-48, 15.28%)
LT: 300 pounds (-57, 15.96%)
Adam: 305 pounds (-35, 10.29%)
Stacey: 190 pounds (-31, 14.02%)
Ed: 277 pounds (-58, 17.31%)
Amy P: 182 pounds (-47, 20.52%)
Phil: 263 pounds (-68 pounds, 20.54%)

So far the at home challenge is between Phil and his wife, the last two people eliminated. Shellay is also putting up some good numbers.

Vicky says in front of everyone that she’d like anybody to come back… except Phil. Does the term self control mean anything to her? Afterward, his wife’s crying because of the comments, so he confronts Vicky. She says he doesn’t deserve a spot in the game. Because he’s lost the most weight? She doesn’t believe she’s done anything wrong, Brady threatens him, and Heba begins her screeching. Then Stacey begins crying as well because the blue team is full of putzes. According to Heba, this chaos is all just Phil’s fault, and they wouldn’t be acting like asshats if he weren’t there.

In addition to getting back in the game, the winner of the challenge will have immunity at the weigh in. The challenge is steps. First to 1,000 wins. Tom’s not sure he can even finish. Stacey’s confident because she does step aerobics. Ed takes an early lead and is the first to 100. Phil’s on his heels, back by about 10 steps. At a couple hundred steps, Phil trips, which could cost him. Stacey passes LT to take third place, and she’s gaining fast. She than overtakes Phil. Ed looks like he’s tiring, while Stacey looks like she’s just getting started. Ed is first to 500. As they get into the 800s, Stacey’s about 10 steps behind. LT wants to see Stacey win and begins coaching her to give her that extra push. It’s a close race to the finish. As they get to the end, Ed gets his second wind and begins sprinting. Ed wins the challenge and returns to the game, giving team evil a big boost because now they’ve got two pairs of couples, along with fifth wheel Amy C, who probably should be realizing what a mess she’s going to be in if she doesn’t take matters into her own hands.

Ali from season 5 is back to visit the contestants. She’ll be taking them to Cynthia Sass of Prevention magazine to learn some nutrition tips. They also get $1,000 worth of groceries, and Michelle lands a spot on Prevention’s cover along with Ali.

The good news for the black team is that they had such a bad week last week. That’s about the only good news for them, as they don’t have a shot unless two blue go below, preferably not Amy C.

Ed: 273 pounds (-4)
Heba: 238 pounds (-9, 3.64%)
Coleen: 170 pounds (-7, 3.95%)
Amy: 181 pounds (-6, 3.21%)
Michelle: 194 pounds (-6, 3.00%)
Renee: 215 pounds (-7, 3.15%)
Vicky: 193 pounds (-8, 3.98%)
Brady: 264 pounds (-6, 2.22%)

This puts Brady and Michelle below the yellow line. Michelle’s only hope is that Amy realizes it’s a bad idea to be allied with two closely connected couples who will get rid of her as soon as they need to.

They won’t be given any time to decide. Instead, they will be be heading straight to the elimination room to talk about it there. Only they don’t really talk very much about it.

Votes
Vicky: Michelle
Renee: Brady
Coleen: Brady
Ed: Michelle
Heba: Michelle
Amy: Brady

Rather than voting along team lines, Amy follows the advice of her mother from earlier in the show to be careful because the others are there for themselves. Since it’s a tie vote, Brady will be going home because he had the lowest percentage of weight loss for the week. He is down from a size 48 pants to a size 34.

Based on the large amount of comments over on the Vicky post tonight, I’d imagine there are a lot of people breathing a sigh of relief over this move, at least those who are still watching, although obviously Vicky would have been a preferred boot over Brady. It ain’t over yet, though. Vicky hates Phil’s guts just because he was trying to get a member of the opposite team eliminated. No doubt she will go ballistic over a member of her team turning.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 8

Everybody decided it was time to visit Pinehearst in Heroes Season 3 Episode 7. At Angela’s request, Sylar went to help his brother Peter. Elle went there just wanting to be done with her powers no matter what, but Claire wasn’t quite as desperate as her to trust someone who just had Peter thrown out a seven story window. Nathan and Tracy are also making their way there.

Hiro’s starting his spirit walk, 18 months ago.

Arthur and Linderman are joined at the hip in their corruption. Arthur plans to have a talk with Nathan to get him to stop digging… either that or he’ll kill him.

Then we move ahead to one year ago, where we see Sylar preparing a noose. Then he’s silly enough to jump just as he hears Elle walking in, and she cuts him down with her powers. She’s there with HRG, who’s hiding in a van and waiting to get Sylar to use his power on someone.

Meredith’s been captured by the company, which wants to train her to be come an agent. Given the choice between agent or prisoner, she chooses agent.

Arthur’s discussion with Nathan lets him know he won’t get anywhere in convincing him to not continue his quest. As Nathan’s driving, a madman with some road rage comes up from behind him. Heidi is still in the wreck, but Nathan manages to fly out and save himself. He knows Linderman was involved, and he promises he’ll get him and that Arthur better make a choice or he’ll get his.

Arthur says Linderman wouldn’t dare go after Nathan on his own. Angela knows that’s true, but he denies any involvement.

When Elle arrives to see Sylar, he decides he wants to show her his power of telekinesis.

Meredith has managed to capture a villain as part of her training. When she arrives to imprison him, she sees her brother Flint. They told him they’d make him an agent, too, yet he’s in a cage.

Sylar tells Elle she makes him feel special, and that maybe he can just be Gabriel again. She doesn’t think he’s going to kill again. Good luck with that. HRG gives her an ultimatum. Either get Sylar to kill, or hit the streets on her own.

Angela sees Linderman and Arthur together and realizes what he’s up to. Lucky for him he’s got a nifty mind control power.

Meredith’s got a message for her brother: they’re tricking him because he’s dumb. She busts him out, and they go to the nearest train. A train which they must blow up because they’ve been followed. Flint escapes, but Meredith is back under their control. She blames the company for killing her baby girl. Only Claire ain’t dead, and the guy with Meredith decides to have some compassion and gives her a get out of jail free card.

Linderman’s got a message for Angela. Unlike Arthur, he tells her the truth.

Meredith has brought Sylar a playmate. Trevor has an ability, too. She gets Sylar to turn by saying that Trevor’s so special. To stop him from killing him, though, she uses her power on him. But she’s not strong enough to prevent him from using his power stealing ability. Elle feels guilty, but HRG is quite fascinated by what he’s watching on the monitors.

As Angela and Arthur are arguing, he collapses. Turns out the soup wasn’t his mother’s recipe after all.

Nathan gets home while his father’s still alive, but it’s not in time to save him, or so they’re told. The doctor’s just a front, working for Arthur. Arthur’s alive, just paralyzed and unable to speak.

Hiro has learned what he needs to on his spirit walk. Arthur’s still alive. The painter, however, isn’t. Then Arthur shows up and puts his hands on Hiro’s head, as he begins to scream.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 10

A couple people bit the dust in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 9. First Mahone tossed a cement block holding Wyatt in the ocean. Then Bellick got trapped under the city’s water supply, sacrificing himself so that the others could be successful in stopping the company.

Self wants to keep Bellick a John Doe in the morgue on ice until he says otherwise. A revolt by the boys lets him know his body needs to go back to his mother.

Gretchen tells them that Scylla is being moved tomorrow. She sure seems to know about the company’s plans. So just which side is she on?

While trying to decipher the code in the bird book, they come to the conclusion they need David Baker. Whoever that is.

Trishanne mentions the name Whistler to T-Bag. A curious name for her to mention.

As everyone’s standing around talking, Michael all of a sudden collapses. He says he’s okay, but Sara insists on taking him to the hospital.

T-Bag wants to know a bit more about Trishanne. It turns out she got there a week before he did. He asks his boss if he can get a look at her application. The good news is that he probably can, but the bad news is that he wants him to step in for Andrew and show how good a salesman he is. Then Gretchen stops by to tell him that Scylla’s moving. The plan is to let Scofield go for it and risk his own neck, while they stay safe and either watch him get his hand bit off or be there when he gets Scylla.

The general is informed that dismantling the security system to Scylla is tricky and that it may take longer than planned to get it moved to PA. He’s got a plan to speed things up. He wants David Baker.

Mahone arrives to see David Baker and pretends he’s with the company.

As Lincoln and Sucre are working, they hear a noise. Lincoln lets Sucre know he’s standing on an explosive. He’ll be fine. As long as he doesn’t move.

Mahone tries to lie his way through his conversation with David Baker, but he’s not buying it.

Thinking that maybe Gretchen set them up, Lincoln grabs her and drags her downstairs.

With a little bit of identity fraud, Scofield gets some tests run. They want him to wait around for a couple hours and be admitted.

Mahone’s next attempt is the truth. He wants to guilt him into helping, but David doesn’t want to get involved in the politics. He seems to be getting somewhere, as the company barges in uninvited.

Gretchen comes to the same conclusion they already know: Sucre can’t move an inch. She suggests he move an inch, though.

I was wondering how the doctor didn’t know who Scofield was considering he was front page news for a couple years. He wasn’t really buying the story, though. He just wanted to help him out because he’s concerned for his health, but his assurance he won’t turn him in doesn’t sway Michael’s decision to run when he sees some cops.

Trishanne goes to see Self. She is a plant, an agent. She insists she’s fine and thinks they can bring the company down, letting him know it’s not time to give up.

Mahone leaves without being spotted. As he’s making his getaway, Baker’s wife stops him. She gives him what he came there for, telling him her husband won’t help him but that will. It’s a legend to the blueprint. Oh, and by the way, there are a bunch of landmines around Scylla. There’s a catch. Gretchen’s plan is to dismantle the mine Sucre is standing on, but this will activate the alarm. Mahone gets to them just in time and hits the manual override. A reluctant Sucre agrees to step off the mine.

Self has a casket with him, and they take a few moments to bid Brad farewell.

T-Bag has managed to get through his speech quite nicely by some miracle, and he’s got Trishanne’s application to boot. He calls the phone number on it, and Self answers.

Having survived the mines was child’s play. The next step is to break through the reinforced walls (one concrete, one glass), then get across the floor, without breathing and in silence.

Michael’s received the test results. The doctor recommends surgery, tomorrow.

Private Practice / Grey’s Anatomy Crossover

They spun it off and then seemed to have forgotten about it, sticking Private Practice on ABC’s struggling Wednesday night. Sources are now telling TVguide that ABC is planning a multiple episode crossover for February sweeps between Grey’s Anatomy and its Private Practice spinoff.

Not much is known yet, but it can be confirmed that Dr. Addison Montgomery will be making an appearance again in Seattle Grace.

The Amazing Race 13 Episode 7

Ken & Tina faced communication difficulties with themselves and also with their cab drivers, which led them to be in last place in The Amazing race 13 Episode 6. They lucked out with a non-elimination leg, however, which means they are still in the race but will encounter a speed bump in the next leg.

Football just finished, so 60 Minutes will run almost an hour over (good thing KC didn’t go for overtime, or we’d be looking at another half an hour). A live blog will begin once 60 Minutes is over.

Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.

First: Nick & Starr – 8:55AM
Second: Kelly & Christy – 9:02AM
Third: Toni & Dallas – 9:10AM
Fourth: Terence & Sarah – 9:31AM
Fifth: Andrew & Dan – 9:44AM
Sixth: Ken & Tina – 9:51AM

Nick & Starr are willing to continue to tell little white lies if it will help them stay at the top of the pack. Toni has learned to trust Dallas more than she ever had to before. Terence & Sarah need to get past yelling at each other. Kelly & Christy still think they’re above everybody.

The first stop is back through the congested streets at the Deshbandhu Apartments. They arrive to complete chaos. The road block is to take part in a traditional Indian celebration known as the Holy Festival. The racers must make their way through a crowd pelting them with dye and water to get to a ladder, which they must climb and then search through hundreds of envelopes to find one that’s correct. Even when they climb the ladders, the crowd will continue to pelt them with paint, making the searching task that much harder.

Road block (in order of arrival): Starr, Dallas, Kelly, Terence, Dan, Ken

Starr gets through the road block without much issue. Dallas also makes quick work of it. Kelly seems to have arrived to a somewhat more aggressive crowd, which allows for some drama, and she’s not helped any by the fact that she keeps pulling “Try Again” envelopes and has to keep going back. Terence, who made up a lot of time on Kelly & Christy during the cab drive, manages to finish ahead of them (but not without saving some drama for Sarah when they get in the cab). Dan & Andrew are also there and also finish ahead of Kelly, who tells Christy she can’t do it because she’ll die (if she’d stop going back and forth and just get a correct envelope, it may work a little faster). They finally read the clue and realize she just has to get the marked one to proceed. Ken & Tina are just arriving as Kelly & Christy are leaving and looking for a cab since they didn’t keep theirs.

From there, teams will go to Old Delhi to find the Charity Birds Hospital, a haven for injured birds. They have to search through the cages to find their next clue. Upon arrival at the hospital, Ken & Tina must complete their speed bump, which is to go to a temple and serve holy water until no more worshippers are desiring water.

The detour is a choice between bleary eyed or teary eyed. In bleary eyed, teams will help the department of power by keeping track of numbers on power lines. In teary eyed, they must carry two 40 pound bags of dried chilis and deliver them on foot 1/4 mile away, then make chili powder to fill a container.

Bleary eyed: Nick & Starr, Toni & Dallas, Andrew & Dan, Kelly & Christy, Ken & Tina
Teary eyed: Terence & Sarah

After pretending they don’t know what’s going on, Nick & Starr eventually decide to split the detour in half with Toni & Dallas to speed up both teams. They finish their first time through. Andrew & Dan have no clue what they’re doing as usual. Terence & Sarah, who believed they’d take the brawn over brains task (which normally works out okay) are suffering from making the chili powder. The good thing about their task is that, while it may be painful, it’s at least clearcut where the end goal is. Like Andrew & Dan, Kelly & Christy have no clue what they’re doing. Dan & Andrew want to work with them, but they decline. Ken & Tina are actually looking at the correct numbers unlike the other two teams, who are looking at random signs on the street. This leaves the race for last between the two clueless teams. Now on foot instead of cruising past in their autorickshaw, Kelly & Christy finally spot the tags they’re supposed to be looking for. Ken & Tina tell Andrew & Dan what they’re supposed to be looking for, which means each of the two remaining teams has finally figured out what they’re doing there.

The pit stop for this leg of the race is Humayun’s Tomb.

First: Nick & Starr (win a trip to Hawaii)
Second: Toni & Dallas
Third: Terence & Sarah
Fourth: Ken & Tina
Fifth: Andrew & Dan
Eliminated: Kelly & Christy

Can’t say I’m sorry to see Kelly & Christy go, but they go out on an upbeat note. For future reference, the producers may want to consider literacy as a qualification for the show so they don’t get people who can’t read their clues time and time again. As for Andrew & Dan, they’ve managed to limp their way through one more week.

The Amazing Race Asia 3 Episode 9

After listening to Vince & Sam’s bad flight path, Henry & Bernie lagged behind the rest of the teams and were eliminated in The Amazing Race Asia 3 Episode 8.

Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.

First: Geoff & Tisha – 9:41PM
Second: AD & Fuzzie – 9:50PM
Third: Ida & Tania – 10:11PM
Fourth: Vince & Sam – 10:15PM

Teams must make their way to Pune, India, 120km away from Mumbai. Despite the way it appeared last time, the last two teams actually weren’t that far behind, and all teams are on the same flight back to Mumbai. The teams get taxis to their next destination in Pune. Geoff says that he can be very annoying in the morning, which he hopes will give his driver the motivation to want to get rid of him as quickly as possible. None of the drivers seem to have any idea where they’re going, but they hope the stadium is famous enough that they’ll be able to overcome this problem.

Ida & Tania have the best luck and arrive at the stadium first where they’ll need to play cricket. They are unable to complete the task in 36 swings and must wait 10 minutes before receiving their clue. Geoff & Tisha and Vince & Sam, who have been going together since the taxi counter, are both dropped off at the wrong clue box, so they’ll need to get another taxi and go back (at least they know exactly where they’re going next). They are still the second and third teams to arrive at the stadium, with about 7 minutes left on Ida & Tania’s clock, which runs out before either team is finished. Softball player Vince is able to finish the task. AD & Fuzzie are the last team to arrive, just as Geoff & Tisha are meeting the same fate as the moms and having to wait for 10 minutes before receiving their clue. Strangely, AD manages to complete this sports task, which leaves Geoff & Tisha in last by about 2 minutes.

In need of a sponsorship opportunity, the next destination will be reached by using the maps application on their Nokia phones. Vince & Sam and Geoff & Tisha already know where they’re going since it’s back where they were before. Despite this, Geoff & Tisha go in a circle and end up back at the stadium again. Then their phone keeps telling them to turn left, which is eventually a circle if you do it long enough.

The road block is to search the phetas of 50 men who will be wandering the grounds. Seems simple enough.

Road block (in order of arrival): Ida, Vince, Fuzzie, Tisha

From there, teams head to the Sony World showroom in Aundh, where they must convince a local on the street to tell a joke (in English) to be recorded on their Sony Handycams. Speaking of sponsorship opportunities, when do we stop at a Caltex? Simply finding someone to tell a joke in English is not enough. They must get it approved as being funny by a panel of judges. Somehow they approve a joke about an ant’s underwear and an elephant, so I’m not sure how picky they are.

The detour is a choice between push or crush. In push, teams will load a cart with at least 75 clay pots and deliver at least 70 unbroken to a market 1km away (in traffic). In crush, teams will crush enough sugarcane sticks to produce at least 40 glasses of sugarcane juice, which they must sell to earn a minimum of 200 rupees. The physical task seems a lot wiser than having to sell 40 glasses of juice, although there is a pretty massive crowd in the area. The sugarcane task turns out to be somewhat physical as well, which wipes out AD & Fuzzie, giving Geoff & Tisha new hope, as they’re now neck and neck going for last.

Push: Ida & Tania,
Crush: Vince & Sam, AD & Fuzzie, Geoff & Tisha

Teams are warned there’s a U-turn ahead. Sam wants to U-turn Ida & Tania, but Vince doesn’t want to U-turn anyone and thinks they’re in second anyway, so they decide against it. Ida & Tania, however, have decided to use it to U-turn Geoff & Tisha, but they can’t since they forgot to bring their own picture with them. Geoff & Tisha, shocked that nobody’s U-turned them, take advantage of the slight lead they’ve opened up over AD & Fuzzie and U-turn them. An already exhausted AD & Fuzzie must now go back and complete the pottery task.

The pit stop for this leg of the race is the Gokhale Institute. A U-turn right directly before a pit stop? What a stupid idea, but at least it’s pretty obvious this is a non-elimination leg.

First: Vince & Sam (win N96 Nokia phones)
Second: Ida & Tania
Third: Geoff & Tisha
Non-eliminated: AD & Fuzzie

As expected, AD & Fuzzie have been non-eliminated, which means they must come in first next time or receive a 30 minute penalty.

Survivor: Gabon Episode 8

Two people were voted out in Survivor: Gabon Episode 7 because, well, I’m not real sure why. Anyway, following the prior week in which he was in complete control of his tribe, Ace got the boot, an indication he overplayed his hand. This made his already jokeworthy tribe a bigger joke than it previously had been. Then, Kota followed by also voting out one of its stronger members, Dan, apparently because the core alliance felt threatened by him, though they never said that in so many words.

The Kota 6 try to make an alliance to the end. Until Corinne and Marcus get bitter about Susie and let her know she’s not really with them, so she may as well just flip and make it 5-5.

Because Ken told her some ridiculous lies that she should have seen right through, Sugar has decided she trusts Ken a lot more than she trusts Ace. Matty, the lone vote to keep Ace, is just hoping for a merge.

Corinne says she’s highly annoyed with Susie. As if we needed to hear it again to notice. She also says she’s an extremely vindictive person. Here’s hoping the looks last because the personality is not exactly resembling that of someone with a full deck.

Tribes get treemail that makes them think it’s time to merge, which historically does happen at 10. When they arrive at the feast, they see a box that tells them not to open it until everybody’s done eating.

While they’re eating, they see a clue to a hidden immunity idol. Oh no. Another one? Not this again. Remember when Survivor was just a group of strangers competing for one and only one idol? Everyone agrees that they don’t need an idol, and they decide to set it free in the ocean. Randy finds the idol and puts it on the table, saying that whoever wants it can have it. They eventually go with the original plan of just throwing it in the ocean. Yeah, they’ll probably just bury half a dozen more of them anyway.

Then it’s time to open the box. Each tribe member grabs a stone. It’s a(nother) tribal shuffle. They have just divided themselves into two new tribes. Odd numbers are Fang; even numbers are Kota. Expect the unexpected. At least nobody stuck their foot in their mouth while at the beach, although it’s safe to say some people did so previously.

New new Kota: Bob, Marcus, Susie, Crystal, Ken
New new Fang: Randy, Charlie, Corinne, Matty, Sugar

Old new Kota is up 3-2 in both of the new tribes, but Susie could easily take Marcus out of there, which would be a huge pre-merge move.

It turns out that Crystal is the cousin of one of Marcus’ best friends. Great, preexisting relationships with the potential to influence the game. It’s like Big Brother.

The plan on Fang is to get rid of Matty, who already knows that Randy can’t be trusted. Thanks to Matty, Sugar has realized sooner than I would have expected that Crystal and Ken duped her. Matty asks her to make sure they keep each other informed if they hear the other’s going home. If they stick with this plan, they could use the idol successfully, as the plan of the other three is to tell each one they’re going to be voted out.

Corinne makes it clear she has no intention of accepting the new Fang tribe.

Immunity is an endurance challenge. The first tribe to lose all their members goes to tribal council. Survivors will stand with their arms out supporting poles. After 1 second, Crystal is out (surely this is a new record). Sugar drops after 10 seconds. Susie drops next. Randy and Corinne follow. Ken is out next. Marcus is next, leaving Bob to defend Kota. Charlie is out, which leaves Matty to face off against Bob. Matty’s cockiness nearly costs him, but he holds on to win the challenge for Fang (a seemingly cursed tribe that’s lost half a dozen times in a row).

I’d rather see the drama of Matty and Sugar using the hidden idol effectively, but seeing whether Susie’s stupid enough to trust Marcus should be good as well.

Marcus wants to see Ken go home, and he tells Crystal that he’d rather have her in the Kota 6 than Susie. She’s not happy that he wants to take out her number one ally with this plan, while he gets to keep all his allies. Then Marcus sweet talks Susie into believing he wants to take her to the final three. Ken and Crystal know they also need Susie on their side, so Crystal tells her that she needs to join them or finish sixth.

Bob says he regrets his last vote, as they got rid of a strong team member believing a merge was around the corner. Both Dan and Ace would have performed well in the last challenge, although since tribe selection was dumb luck, there’s no guarantee which side they would have ended up on.

Votes
Marcus
Ken
Ken
Marcus
Marcus

By a vote of 3-2, Marcus has been voted off the island and is the first member of the jury. While Susie’s place in the game may still be uncertain, this was her only logical move, as her alleged allies made it blatantly obvious they were going to turn on her. Unbeknownst to her, this puts her right smack in the middle of five people who at some point will be going after each other, once they get rid of the other side presumably, a power position that makes her the safest person there at this time.
