Survivor: Tocantins Schedule Change

Survivor: Tocantins will be preempted each of the next two weeks due to March Madness basketball.

For the week of March 19, no new episode will air.

For the week of March 26, Survivor will instead air on Wednesday March 25 at 8/7c. That episode is set to be a recap show, which typically sums up the start of the season and has some new footage mixed in.

Things will return to normal the following week with the Thursday April 2 episode.

Survivor: Tocantins Episode 5

Jalapao finally lost a challenge in Survivor: Tocantins Episode 4. They had their pick between Sydney and Sandy and chose to keep the relatively useless eye candy around, voting out Sandy.

Taj wrote Joe’s name at tribal council because she didn’t want to put Sandy’s name down.

With the clue making it obvious where they can find it, Taj and Stephen go to treemail to find their hidden immunity idol. Because nobody will suspect him of having it, she gives the idol to him. His opinion on this: the idol is now his.

The challenge will be played in rounds. Each tribe will have one member sitting on a spinning platform. Another tribe member will race, pulling a rope and causing that platform to spin. The tribe member who spins must make their way across a balance beam. Reward is a visit to the Charmin cafe for coffee and pastries. In the first round, Joe pulls Taj, while Brendan pulls Tyson. The race is close. Then it’s time for the dizzy people to try to recover. Tyson gets off to a lead, and he maintains that lead to take the lead for Timbira. Stephen is pulling Spencer; Coach is pulling Erinn. Spencer takes the lead and retains it to tie the teams at 1-1. Joe is spinning JT; Brendan is spinning Sierra. JT manages to cross first to give Jalapao the lead 2-1. Stephen pulls Sydney; Coach pulls Debra. Sydney crosses to win reward for Jalapao. Brendan will be going back to Exile, and he’s smiling about it. Rather than choosing Taj, he instead picks Stephen, who will not be allowed to participate in his tribe’s reward. Tyson is suspicious.

In addition to the food and use of a toilet, the winning team gets letters from home.

Tyson tells his tribe that Brendan is building relationships with the other side, which means he needs to go next. Don’t get why he switched it up and didn’t pick Taj. It would have been seen as just continuing the same as before. Granted, someone could interpret it as him trying to get close to her.

Stephen is wary of Brendan, but he thinks positively of him. He tells Brendan he can’t place his entire faith on their alliance plans.

Sydney’s talking to Spencer about her boyfriend and asks him whether there are any girls who he’s interested in. He’s apparently passing for straight. Refuse to tell for too long, and they may see you as a liar.

For the immunity challenge, two members of each tribe will alternate launching balls, while the remaining tribe members try to catch the balls. Catching a ball from either tribe is worth a point. First to 5 wins. Sydney and Stephen are launchers against Erinn and Debbie. JT catches the first ball to give Jalapao the lead. JT catches another ball to take the lead 2-0. Joe injured his knee on that last attempt. Brendan catches one to make it 2-1 Jalapao. Brendan makes a catch to tie it at 2. JT grabs another ball, losing his tooth in the process, giving his team a 3-2 lead. He just chucks the tooth aside, but this is a horrible place to be having dental issues. JT grabs his fourth, giving his team a 4-2 lead. Tyson makes a catch to make it 4-3 Jalapao. Tyson makes another catch to tie it at 4. Tyson scores again, and Timbira wins immunity.

Based on his performance at the challenge, JT wants Spencer to go. Taj is angry about her performance at the challenge, and for some reason she’s taking it out on her tribe. She calls them out for… well… it’s not clear what. She’s just lashing out. She seriously needs to go somewhere alone and cool down because this isn’t helping her any. Stephen knows Taj is in danger. He’s just not sure he wants to care.

Joe has not heard Taj say she does not have the immunity idol. She agrees to say it at tribal council.

With 4 votes, Spencer has been voted out, keeping the somewhat secret alliance intact.

Reaper Season 2 Episode 2

Sock got a new sister in Reaper Season 2 Episode 1. Let’s just see how long he can keep his hands off her. Sam, meanwhile, believes he’s discovered a loophole and a way to get out of Hell free.

The soul is a Mongolian warrior from the 13th century, whatever they look like. He’s skilled with swords, spears, and knives, and he could probably snap your spine with his bare hands. Ben gets distracted by a bunny, so while he and Sock are arguing whether they can keep it, they’re attacked from behind by the warrior. It’s a good thing he’s freaked out by demonic technology like cell phones. He’s gone, but at least they’re still alive.

In his hunt for the soul who figured out a way to get out of his deal with the Devil, Sam plans to post flyers around town with his picture. He’s offering a large reward (aka a gift certificate to Outback… a $30 gift certificate).

Sometimes when Ben gets lonely, he gets really attached to animals. But the rabbit is different. Honest.

How is this not a dream sequence? Kristen wakes Sock up and begins wrestling with him. He’s got the blue man group in his pants.

Sock and Sam ban having bunnies in the house. The I’s have it.

Andi’s talking to a customer, who she knows is a secret shopper from corporate. The secret shopper requests that she not tell anybody who she is. Mum’s the word. Except for Sam and Sock of course.

Gladys recognizes the demon, Alan Townsend. Sam got her out of Hell (but only once), so he expects her to return the favor.

As Sam’s making copies, the Devil shows up. His good news: the Mongols conquered half the planet, so he may want to catch his soul sooner rather than later.

Kristen’s exercising. This is so unfair. Why does she insist on labelling Sock as her brother?

Sam hears the noise the Devil warned him about, the one that lets him know a demon’s about to kill him. Good thing Ben has a tiki torch for his bunny, as he promptly uses it to set the demon on fire. That hardly seems realistic. The next day, he goes to see Gladys, who sent the demon to kill him. She gives him an address for Alan. If this is another set up to get him killed, his dad will want to punish all those involved. So she changes the address.

Sock takes his sister out to get her drunk so he can take advantage of her. His plan is to impress her with his mad dancing skills, but he will have to deal with another too full of himself guy in the process. For some reason, she chooses the other guy, instead of her brother, leaving him to slow dance by himself.

The Devil shows up in Sam’s car to tell him love is really wonderful, and to ask him what he’s doing on stakeout (spending time with his gal) instead of hunting for the soul, who’s rampaging property on horseback. He’s worried that Sam’s becoming… distracted.

Based on history, the soul will be attacking the Vietnamese restaurant Sock, Ben, and Sam are at, since he’s invaded a Chinese place and a Korean BBQ already. Somehow, this theory is right. The Mongolian has a suit, but he’s not willing to wait that 15 minutes in line. He grabs some meat cleavers and chops Sam’s vessel in half. Time to break out the cell phone, but the soul already has one. He really has learned to adapt. With a mad dash for the half of the vessel that works, Sam is able to capture the soul.

Ben was right about where the soul would attack. Therefore, his rabbit should be allowed back in the house. Because Ben saved his life and stuff, Sam seconds the motion to allow another vote on whether the rabbit can come back inside. By a close vote of 2-1, Ben loses again.

Topher, the guy from the bar, is there to pick up Kristen. Sock hopes to intimidate him with a large knife. Nobody’s allowed to score with his sister but him. With that said, Sock takes a chair and smashes it over Topher.

Ted notices the secret shopper. She’s been there every day this week, so she must want him. Security will be escorting Ted out now.

Sam finds Alan, but he doesn’t want to talk. There’s too much risk being on the Devil’s radar, but he’ll never be off the Devil’s radar. Unless he gets Sam’s assistance. He knows his tricks, some of them, and the Devil trusts him. Just as Alan’s starting to listen, there’s that noise again. Another demon sent to wipe out the Devil’s son. This demon’s going down. The Devil wants his buddy to warn his friends that Sam is not to be touched. When they go to the bar, Sam realizes the Devil set him up. Now Alan’s too afraid to talk to him. Instead of fighting it, Sam might as well just accept the fact that he’s going to Hell when he dies.

Sock’s worried that Topher just wants to bang Kristen and bail. Maybe that’s what she wants.

Although he will no longer trust Sam, perhaps Alan will trust Andi instead.

Another demon attacks. Ben’s holding his bunny in the garage, so he runs off and wants to go inside. Not with that animal he won’t. They realize something’s up when Ben is pulled upward. He awakens after being knocked out. The rabbit seems fine, though. It’s the demon he burned. Maybe they can get the demon some ointment or something. The demon is impressed with Ben. He’s very brave risking his life to save his friends, he seems to love the rabbit, and he’s got beautiful eyes.

Sock’s plan to cover this up: say that Ben went on a bike ride late at night and has a drug problem. Just then, Ben walks into the room. He’s totally fine, without a scratch on him. He went Jackie Chan on that demon, and now that that’s over, Sock can’t make any rules about the bunny not being allowed inside the house.

Kristen’s new boyfriend is a player. She had planned to give her virginity away, but now her plans to have meaningless crazy sex with just any random person are down the drain. Sock gives her a pep talk, which convinces her to stay pure until marriage. Will he help?

That demon Ben burned is actually a babe. She’s not using him to get to his friend so she can kill him. Probably not anyway.

Andi and Sam go to Townsend’s apartment, where they find crosses all over the walls, sticky notes to avoid gluttony and coveting his neighbor’s wife, and a Gamblers Anonymous schedule. He’s gone, and he will be hiding out on consecrated ground, as a gravedigger.

American Idol Season 8 Episode 20

The top 13 idols sang in American Idol 8 Episode 19, and tonight two of them will be sent home.

Michael Johns, Jennifer Hudson, and Chris Daughtry left the competition too early, or so Seacrest tells us. From this point forward, up until the top 5, the judges can save 1 contestant from elimination just once, if they agree unanimously. So like how would this have helped out Chris Daughtry, who placed fourth? The week they use the save, nobody will be eliminated, but the next week, two will go. Apparently, this is not reversing America’s vote. Only it is.

Michael Sarver is safe.

Allison Iraheta is safe.

Jasmine Murray can come to the center of the stage.

Matt Giraud is safe, and he probably wants to sit down rather than walking to the center of the stage with Jasmine.

Kris Allen is safe.

Megan Joy Corkrey is joining Jasmine. One is safe, and the other is going home. Megan is safe. Unsurprisingly, Jasmine Murray has been eliminated.

The new exit song: Home Sweet Home by Carrie Underwood.

Now that that’s done with, Seacrest has another half an hour to kill.

Scott MacIntyre is safe.

Alexis Grace is safe.

Danny Gokey is safe.

Anoop Desai is going to the center of the stage.

Adam Lambert is safe.

Lil Rounds is safe.

Jorge Nunez is joining Anoop in the center of the stage. Unfortunate choice, but I’m not entirely surprised. Jorge deserves another shot, but Anoop already got his. Anoop is safe. Jorge is eliminated. Wrong decision, regardless of the poor song choice. The judges will not be saving him, though.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of American Idol Season 8 episode 21, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on Fox.

American Idol Season 8 Episode 19

Last week we found out the American Idol 8 Top 13 and tonight they’re performing for America’s votes to see the first one eliminated.

A word of caution: don’t dial 1-866-IDOLS-13 unless you’re looking to talk to hot and nasty girls. Apparently, the producers didn’t think this top 13 thing all the way through, but it’s uncertain at this time how they plan to remedy it.

Simon breaks the news early. Two people will be going home this week, allowing them to retain their previous scheduling plans.

This week’s theme is Michael Jackson.

Lil Rounds
Song: The Way You Make Me Feel

Simon: Good attempt. Big notes are going to trouble you. Little robotic.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-05

Kris Allen
Song: Remember the Time (playing guitar)
Kara: The girls love you. Happy to see you there with your guitar. Few off notes. Spent a lot of time helping out the other contestants this week.

Randy: Interesting song choice. Kinda cool in a way.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-06

Allison Iraheta

Song: Beat It
Paula: Untouchable song. Karaoke.
Simon: Horrible. Lightweight. Karaoke. A bit stupid looking.
Randy: Wrong choice.
Kara: No variation. Disconnected.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-08

Jorge Nunez
Song: Never Can Say Goodbye by Jackson 5
Randy: Older fashioned song. Vocal chops. Nice upper range.
Kara: Didn’t feel the connection.
Paula: Not yourself. Not the right song.
Simon: Corny. Out of your depth. Awful arrangement. Couldn’t wait for it to end.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-09

Megan Joy Corkrey
Song: Rockin Robin by Jackson 5
Kara: Personality. Not overwhelming vocals.
Paula: Right song but disconnected.
Simon: Stupid song choice. Vocals weren’t very good. Dancing verging on ridiculous.
Randy: Song didn’t allow you to be Megan.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-10

Adam Lambert
Song: Black or White
Paula: Never in the history of American Idol have we ever seen someone so comfortable and seasoned. Whole package. We’ll be seeing you in the finals.
Simon: Totally different league.
Randy: Most current. Could make a record right now.
Kara: Hit notes I didn’t even know existed. Hope Michael Jackson is watching tonight.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-11

Matt Giraud
Song: Human Nature
Randy: Really good performance. Robin Thicke/Justin Timberlake thing.
Kara: Talented guy. Hope we see you for many weeks.
Paula: Talented. Sexy. Amazing. Authentic.
Simon: Very good.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-12

Alexis Grace
Song: Dirty Diana

Paula: Naughty and sexy but watch the oversinging.
Simon: Very over the top and probably not as good as you thought it was.
Randy: Good. Not great but good.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-36

So was 36 the only number available? Seacrest wants you to dial carefully. Very carefully. Unless you want to completely disregard the word of caution at the top of this post.

Keep in mind the American Idol Season 8 schedule change going into effect tomorrow night. American Idol will air at 9/8c opposite Lost (although Lost is a rerun of last week’s episode tomorrow).

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of American Idol Season 8 episode 20, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on Fox.

The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 10

The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 9 was a to be continued episode. We left off with Mike weighing in, and he needed to lose 10 pounds to keep everybody immune. If he failed to do so, one person from each team would be voted off, and it would be all his fault (only not really since Sione and Cathy only lost 3 pounds).

Mike: 286 pounds (-11, 3.70%)

With Mike’s 11 pound weight loss, nobody will be going home. So I’ll ask this: they couldn’t have showed us this 30 seconds of footage last week?

Week 10 starts 5 minutes after the weigh in. The teams will be matched against someone from the opposite team. If they beat their opponent, they get a point. The first team to three points will win the weigh in. The person who can sit against a wall the longest will win the pop challenge. Kristin is sitting out for medical reasons. Sione and Helen will sit out for the black team. Ron is out in about 20 seconds. Cathy is gone pretty soon after. Aubrey drops at 2 minutes, leaving just Mandi representing the winless blue team. Filipe is out at 2:25. Mike drops right after. Laura drops at 3 minutes, which leaves Mandi against Tara. Mandi drops, and Tara wins. With that painful victory, Tara will be able to structure the match ups for this week’s face off.

The matches are:

Mike (102 lbs, 26% lost) against Cathy (47 lbs, 16% lost)
Sione (89 lbs, 24% lost) against Mandi (68 lbs, 26% lost)
Filipe (89 lbs, 24% lost) against Kristin (90 lbs, 25% lost)
Helen (64 lbs, 25% lost) against Ron (87 lbs, 20% lost)
Laura (59 lbs, 21% lost) against Aubrey (46 lbs, 18% lost)

Mike should be able to crush Cathy, although she did have a pretty poor showing last week that should allow her to bounce up. Based on his numbers last week, Sione should have Mandi beat. Filipe and Kristin’s a toss up that should prove interesting. Helen is likely to beat Ron. Laura against Aubrey could go either way. Definitely was not expecting Tara to either have faith in her partner or sit herself out, but with her 5.21% weight loss last week, Tara’s likely to have a poor week. If she’s smart, she’ll have a bad week on purpose so she can dominate the scale next week.

Jillian doesn’t want her team to be complacent because the underdog always has his day.

Filipe’s frustrated with Jillian. Yeah, yeah, still. Now he’s mad that she worked out with everybody but him.

The challenge is a relay race that starts off in the pool. The first person will take 24 six pound medicine balls across the pool. The next player will take them to the first stopping point and run them up the stairs. The third person will go under a series of obstacles with them. The fourth team member will take them down the basketball court to do 24 squats every trip down the court. Everyone on the winning team will get 24 hours of luxury. Kristin is sitting out again due to medical concerns. Laura and Mike sit out for the black team.

Ron and Filipe are doing the swimming. Or rather, Filipe’s swimming while Ron’s walking. Black team gets about a 3 lap lead. Sione and Cathy will be running up the stairs. Sione’s taking the stairs two at a time, while Cathy’s going at a slow but steady pace. Tara and Mandi are going under the obstacles. Mandi’s starting to catch up. Helen and Aubrey are on the final leg with the squats (they have to do two balls at a time and 24 squats each of the 12 times). Based on this match up, it appears blue may actually have a shot at winning something, but it’s not to be. Black wins.

Black team’s now preparing themselves for 24 hours of luxury. While it will be relaxing, that kind of environment is not exactly conducive to weight loss. As for the blue team, they’re all still working out, rather than having a big screen TV, taking a bubble bath, or getting a massage. It doesn’t end there, though. The meal is obviously a big derailing waiting to happen. Unsurprisingly, their calories climb and climb and climb. Total for the 6 in one meal: 12,952 calories. So far. Then they head to the bar. They continue drinking, and Helen proceeds to smoke. Then Sione eats some more, as if his meal weren’t enough to begin with. New total after the bar: 15,563 calories (2600 each). Blue team: 1,612 calories. After this display, black team deserves to lose.

Jillian’s been tipped off that her team won luxury, which she knows is not a good prize to win there. Helen swore everybody to secrecy, but Jillian’s no fool. What’s the point? The second they leave, they immediately lose control. To make matters worse, half of them don’t even trust her because they were previously with Bob. Filipe is not even sure any more whether he wants to work out. Now it’s his turn to scream and shout and pound things and then leave the room. Yeah, that temper tantrum ought to patch things up. Can this whiny guy go home already? He and Sione go pout to Bob because their wicked stepmom Jillian was a meanie. Bob’s going to let them have their way and train with him.

While Jillian partially thought Bob should have sent Filipe and Sione back to deal with their issues rather than running away from them, she’s largely relieved that she doesn’t have to deal with this nonsense any more.

Jillian doesn’t think her team deserves to win the weigh in, and she’s right.

Because there was no elimination last week, Laura still has an extra vote, and she will be able to vote regardless of who loses.

Tara: 200 pounds (no change… the start of a train wreck)

Mike: 278 pounds (-8, 2.80%)
Cathy: 242 pounds (-4, 1.63%)
Black team leads 1-0

Aubrey: 200 pounds (-3, 1.48%)
Laura: 227 pounds (+1, 0.44%)
Tied 1-1

Filipe: 274 pounds (-1, 0.36%)
Kristin: 263 pounds (-7, 2.59%)
Blue team leads 2-1

Filipe’s question: why did I let my trainer affect my week? Are you freaking kidding me? His trainer made him go out and eat a few thousand calories, at a time when he wasn’t working out enough? Take some responsibility for your own actions, dude.

Helen: 189 pounds (-4, 2.07%)
Ron: 337 pounds (-6, 1.75%)
Tied 2-2

Sione: 277 pounds (-6, 2.12%)
Mandi: 197 (+2, 1.02%)

Black team wins the weigh in. Not the result I expected, or was hoping for. Black team should have lost for going back to their old ways at the flick of a switch.

As The Biggest Loser for her team, Kristin has immunity. Laura will have the extra vote, which could come into play in the event of a tie.

Ron says that it’s Mandi’s turn to go home, and the people who have been with him since the beginning (Cathy and Kristin) agree. Aubrey, however, is ready to go home. She won’t vote for her sister, and she’d rather go home instead.

Votes
Laura: Cathy
Ron: Mandi
Kristin: Mandi
Cathy: Mandi
Aubrey: Cathy
Mandi: Ron

That goes against the plan to let the black team decide who to leave (from anyone, regardless of whether they received any votes or not, a lame rule). Mandi knows she can do it at home, whereas she believes her sister Aubrey can’t, so she wants her to stay there. With 3 votes, Mandi has been eliminated. She’s brought her new energetic lifestyle home to share with her family and is now down 84 pounds from her starting weight of 263 pounds.

Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 9

Having bonded over Sarah’s disappearance and death, Kyle finally kissed Jessi in Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 8.

Jessi’s having a dream about killing Cassidy.

Stephen suggests giving Andy a big send off. This leads to a discussion about how Kyle is like Dr. Spock.

Nicole’s not all that surprised by Kyle having feelings for Jessi, even if he is surprised. But them kissing while living there is inappropriate. Jessi overhears this discussion. This can only lead to badness.

Cassidy wants Nate to team up with Kyle.

Cassidy’s got a package in the mail. It’s the news story about the dead hunter from the start of season 2 (before ABC Family killed the show’s ratings).

Kyle understands Nicole’s rules, but Jessi doesn’t get it. According to Amanda, they’re definitely sitting at least two inches closer than they used to.

Now that Nate’s working with Kyle on this project, Jessi can’t be together with him at Latnok either. And they’ll have to leave The Rack now because Josh is tossing them out.

Kyle asks Cassidy why he has a problem with Jessi. He suspects her for poking around in the safe.

Lori knows something’s up with Jessi, who tells her that Kyle kissed her. Lori’s response: “Ew.”

At Lori’s suggestion, they discuss asking Cassidy out to dinner. They can have him eat there. In order to protect them, Kyle doesn’t want Josh or Lori there. Joining in with the others, Kyle doesn’t want Jessi there either.

While they’re working on their project, Kyle tries prying into Cassidy’s background. Nate doesn’t know who he works for. Amanda is happy to see the two of them together, which won’t last long since Kyle solved that project Cassidy has had people working on for months (oh, and Nate may have contributed something).

Josh is preparing to surprise Andy. While he’s doing his preparation, Andy tells Amanda that her moms changed their plans. They’re not leaving in three days. They’ll be leaving in the morning. Completely unaware of this turn of events, Josh has created the perfect Star Trek evening for them, complete with pointy ears.

Jackie and Mark arrive at The Rack and bump into Declan and Lori.

As planned, Cassidy is having dinner with Kyle and the parentals. As not planned, Jessi shows up. She changed her mind.

During the awkward double date, Mark says that Cassidy’s not the boss. So who is? Jackie says Cassidy’s in charge but that they have lots of freedom.

Andy used to dream about Dr. Spock. A little on the odd side. Then she thanks Josh and gets ready to say goodbye, but he doesn’t want to hear it. They’ve got plenty of time to say goodbye.

What Jessi would like to hear about: her mother. Cassidy denies knowing her. It’s Latnok she had… has a problem with. He’s a liar with secrets. With that said, he tells about how she killed the hunter an hour after she got out of the pod. Since there’s hesitation believing in her, she runs out.

Lori continues to pry. Mark thinks something is up, but anyway, he answers that Cassidy creeps him out.

Following the quite fun dinner, Kyle makes plans to meet with Cassidy at The Rack in half an hour.

Josh sneaks Andy into his room. His dad busts him but lets him get away with it.

Nate’s managed to get Amanda back to his room. When he goes to get them some soda, she discovers information about Adam and the boy with no belly button.

Cassidy arrives at The Rack as instructed. He’s greeted by a dark room and the last person he probably wants to see in said dark room: Jessi. Why did he kill Sarah? He might want to consider telling the truth because she could kill him with the flick of a wrist. He claims it was self defense, but Jessi doesn’t believe him, so she returns to inflicting pain in him. Sarah found out about Kyle, and she didn’t approve. Since she’s already a murderer, she might as well take out Cassidy, too. Then Kyle flings his hand and slams her into a wall. She’s dead, and he can’t bring her back. Cassidy wants to get Kyle out of there.

After they walk out, Foss walks in and tells Jessi she can get up now. She slowed her heartbeat down to convince him she was dead.

Before dinner, Jessi told Kyle the one secret she never shared, about the night she killed the guy who was camping. He understood. He always does.
