Survivor: Samoa Episode 5

Galu finally lost something, and Yasmin was unsurprised to be the first boot from their tribe in Survivor: Samoa Episode 4.

Shambo’s surprised that she was the only person to vote on Yasmin’s side.

They’re told they have to keep something down, which means a gross food challenge. For Foa Foa, this is already a cause for divide. Liz says she’s worried about Ashley during this challenge, which leads to Russell H starting to turn on her. It’s a food reward. Get the gross smoothie down, and you win a barbeque. Kelly, Laura, and John sit out for Galu. Shambo and Jaison get a giant clam mixed with Jeff’s choice of octopus, sea snails, and noni juice. Shambo easily finishes as Jaison struggles to get it down. Russell goes against Russell for the jelly fish special mixed with milk. Russell S does fine, and after struggling, Russell H chugs it. Brett and Mick get giant clams and sea cucumbers with milk. Both do okay. Monica and Liz get sea urchin, and both of them do fine. Ashley and Dave get sea slug guts, which Jeff suggests may be the worst thing out there. Nice and chunky. Ashley can’t finish as Liz feared. Galu wins reward. They will be sending Shambo over to Foa Foa, to which she responds that’s not very fair. Russell declines to spread the love, and Shambo will miss out on the reward.

Ashley realizes she screwed up, so Natalie pretends that nothing’s wrong.

Before getting to the meal, Russell explains why he sent Shambo over to Foa Foa. She lost the chicken, but this should clean her slate. Then Russell tries to start the fire. Dave believes that he can start the fire, but he refuses to do so unless Russell asks. So Russell refuses to ask, although he eventually gives in.

Shambo, who asked for a group hug upon arrival at Foa Foa, has decided to share the clues to the hidden idol with their entire tribe. Not that it matters since both of them have already been found. Liz thinks that either Ben or Russell have the one from theirs, so she confronts Russell and calls him a liar when he denies it. She’s definitely his next target.

It’s raining and raining. As Erik warned, the choice of comfort over the function of the tarp means that all the blankets are wet and hence largely useless.

When Shambo returns, she gets some minor acknowledgement from the person nearest to her, Erik, but that’s about it. In their defense, everybody is barely functioning and just trying to break through the shivering, not that I expect their welcome would be much warmer otherwise.

For the immunity challenge, one man and one woman from each tribe will hold on to a rope connected to a net while members of the other tribe shoot coconuts into that net. Last net standing wins. Galu sits out Dave, Shambo, and Brett. Liz and Russell hold the net for Foa Foa, while Russell and Laura hold for Galu. All I can say is Galu needs to start losing some people because I keep hearing names I never heard before. Galu is kicking the crap out of Foa Foa as per usual. In the middle of the onslaught, Jeff points out that Ashley hasn’t made a single shot yet. Russell H falters and is eliminated. That means they’re going to all pile on Liz. She keeps fighting but eventually buckles. Galu wins immunity.

Jaison says things aren’t looking good any more. So apparently they were looking good when they lost 4 people in a row.

Contributing to their misery is the fact that it’s been raining for two days straight. Russell poses a question: does anybody want to go home. Despite their whining, nobody’s ready to volunteer. Because it’s raining, however, they’re hiding under the shelter, which means no strategizing going on before they go to tribal.

The guys should stick together and not vote against each other, so it’s just a question of which girl will end up going home. Russell is bummed out that he can’t talk anyone into voting out Liz. It would be a tough sell regardless, although he could get the two blondes on his side. The logical choice here is Ashley, who has not contributed to the challenges.

At tribal council, Russell claims to trust everybody. Ashley agrees but says she mostly trusts Natalie and Russell. Liz also gives the political answer that she trusts pretty much everybody.

Jake Pavelka Is The Bachelor 14

Jake Pavelka, who returned on The Bachelorette 5 to warn Jillian that Wes is a putz (a warning she ignored and kept Wes around so he could continue promoting his music anyway), has been announced as The Bachelor for season 14.

The show will receive a subtitle of On the Wings of Love, a take on the fact that Jake is a pilot. Seriously?

The Bachelor 14 will premiere on ABC in January 2010.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 8

Vegas week started in So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 7, and we get back to the rest of it tonight.

Karen Hauer is in the first group to perform. She’s told she can go and sit down, which apparently means she’s through to the next round. Her husband Matthew is in the next group. He has been cut.

By the end of the first day, Iveta Lukosiute and Willem de Vries are eliminated.

Mollee Gray and Russell Ferguson are in the same group. Mollee is warned that she’s dancing like a little girl. Russell, who’s a krumper with no formal training, is given compliments from the judges. Both of them advance to the next round, although Mollee’s limping as she gets off the stage.

Russell’s group of himself and four contemporary dancers draw a Broadway routine. They are given nothing but positive comments and make it through another round.

Mollee’s group is unaware of whether she will be returning from the hospital or not. After two hours, she returns to say she has a bad sprain but can still dance. They put together a routine where she’s able to dance but spends much of the time sitting. Whatever the routine, it falls flat for the judges, but it’s enough for them to get through the group round.

The next round is Mia time, which this season apparently means meditating and hugging.

Kevin Hunt is in the first group and this year hopes to not get cut on the final day of Vegas again. He moves to the next round after amazing the judges. Mollee and Russell are also safe.

Legacy was given another chance after dancing for his life. He says that something inside of him has changed after working with Mia, and she responds that he’s perfectly imperfect, which translates into a ticket to the next round.

A Tyce Diorio Broadway routine is the next step.

Pauline Mata was also cut on the final day of Vegas previously. During the rehearsal, she lands funny at the end, and ends up with an ankle swollen so bad that she can’t go on stage to perform the routine.

Ashleigh Di Lello has managed to survive this far despite the initial criticism she’s received, although she’s still in her husband Ryan’s shadow. She’s told that she has grown the most this week and gets a unanimous vote from the judges. After his wife makes it through, it’s Ryan Di Lello’s turn, and she’s perfectly fine with him having on as few clothes as possible. Like Ashleigh, he also receives all the votes.

Dominic Pearson was eliminated in Vegas week in season 4 due to an injury. His confidence is soon shattered by the judges, who only give him two votes. Nigel complains that he’s crying, although he’s certainly not the first one to break down tonight.

Pauline is back from the hospital on crutches. She has been told to stay off her sprained ankle for two days. As she waits to find out her fate, the remaining dancers are given one final chance to do a solo before the judges make their decision on the top 20. It seems we’ll have to keep waiting to find out what happens to her because they’re not talking yet.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 9, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on Fox.

The Biggest Loser Season 8 Episode 5

In an emotional elimination, Julio was voted out in The Biggest Loser Season 8 Episode 4.

Allison greets the contestants with a bunch of silver platters first thing. It’s blue vs. black. One person will get to pick the teams. The power lies in a simple spin of the wheel. There are 36 spaces on the wheel, one of which contains the power. If you land on the other 35 spaces, you could get any number of things from cash to a 1000 calorie piece of cake. We’ve heard for weeks how this is not about gameplay. Let’s see how true that statement holds. Only Abby declines. For everybody else, it appears that playing the game is now acceptable.

Rudy spins first and gets a piece of cake. Rebecca gets a 280 calorie chocolate donut. Allen lands on a 100 calorie cupcake. Danny gets a much bigger 780 calorie cupcake. Tracey gets the golden ticket? How the…? Okay, now I know somebody’s going to blame her for something here, but they all had their chance as well. Granted, this is spooky. Most people are preparing to dodge out of the way of the lightning.

Back in the house, everybody is preparing for the worst, and here come the waterworks.

Blue Team (Bob): Tracey, Mo, Allen, Liz, Rudy, Rebecca
Black Team (Jillian): Daniel, Shay, Abby, Danny, Amanda, Dina

That leaves only two teams still intact, purple and orange. The others have all been split up, although it looks like it will be a reasonably fair fight, unless an issue of physical strength comes up.

Once that’s over, there’s plenty of time for more whining, but at the end of the day, these people wouldn’t have been happy no matter how the teams were chosen. Jillian intends to just beat her people so that they get over the drama.

Upset over losing Danny, Liz has one focus: get rid of Tracey before she herself is sent home. She’s going to kill herself if she has to. Then she collapses. As she’s recovering, she says that her head’s on straight, which means following her agenda.

Dina’s afraid of jumping on that stool. She doesn’t want Jillian to get mad that she’s wasting time. So… she walks out of the gym. With Rudy’s encouragement, she returns to the gym, where she reluctantly keeps trying.

Sometimes you have to carry your teammates; sometimes they have to carry you. Each team will race up the hill and through some mud to the finish line. The catch: they will be carrying one teammate on a platform. They are allowed to switch out throughout the race. Videos from home are the reward. Tracey and Abby will sit out. Dina agrees to be on the platform for the black team, while Rebecca is on it for the blue team. The blue team’s strategy is to take the early lead because the path can only fit one team. This strategy works. Going through the mud on the second mud pit, Amanda loses her shoe, so she hops on the platform for the black team. Regardless of what else may have happened in the challenge, the end result is unsurprising. The blue team, which had the lead the whole time, retains it to easily win the challenge. Rebecca has opted to give her video to Dina, but she declines, wanting to get on the step on her own.

Liz gets her buddy Danny to see his own video, pretending she wants him to come watch hers with her. He finds out that he’s already an inspiration, and his family is following in his footsteps and also losing weight.

Jillian’s goal at the last chance workout is to get her black team to realize they’re teamed with each other now, not with their prior teammates. Her other goal: get Dina on the platform. Not today.

Bob’s team goes off to 24 Hour Fitness for a change of pace, as he’s hoping to get his team to forget blue vs. black.

It’s time for the weigh-in.

Tracey: 206 pounds (-7, 3.29%)
Mo: 312 pounds (-6, 1.89%)
Allen: 278 pounds (-7, 2.46%)
Rudy: 369 pounds (-8, 2.12%)
Rebecca: 237 pounds (-7, 2.87%)
Liz: 232 pounds (-8, 3.33%)
Blue Total: -43 pounds, 2.56%

Abby: 208 pounds (-5, 2.35%)
Dina: 223 pounds (-6, 2.62%)
Amanda: 224 pounds (-6, 2.61%)
Danny: 372 pounds (-10, 2.62%)
Daniel: 276 pounds (-11, 3.83%)
Shay: 416 pounds (-16, 3.70%)
Black Total: -54 pounds, 3.05%

The blue team has fallen below the yellow line. Liz has the highest percentage of weight loss on her team, which makes her immune. It seems a foregone conclusion what’s going to happen from here. However, getting rid of Tracey would not be a smart move because she’s putting up good numbers, but logic doesn’t seem to be the method being used by some of them. Realizing he’s playing a game he never intended to play, Mo is the voice of reason. He’s putting up the lowest numbers, so the logical move here is to get rid of him. The excessively bitter Rebecca isn’t happy with this theory. Liz is thinking about going along with the vote, though, since she thinks Tracey trusts her.

Votes
Liz: Mo
Rudy: Mo
Tracey: Mo
Rebecca: Mo

With 4 votes, Coach Mo is not The Biggest Loser. So pretty much I’m going to have to listen to more of this for another week. Mo is down to 76 pounds from a starting weight of 355. He hopes to put some other people on the right path and their own journey.

Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Winner

Ariel was eliminated in Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Episode 14, bringing us down to a final two of Dave Levey and Kevin Cottle, one of whom will be the Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 winner.

Their night has just begun. There’s a limo waiting outside for them. They arrive at a hotel just before midnight because Ramsay wants to see them on the roof. Just as I think he’s ready to throw one of them off the roof, he announces a final challenge, giving them 45 minutes to create dishes worthy of Araxi. Kevin will prepare a petite clambake with poached lobster and corn pudding. Dave is cooking a rack of venison with a sour cream and chive parsnip puree.

To win the challenge, they will need to receive three votes. Alain Gayot of Gayot guide books votes for Dave’s dish. Jamie Maw, former food editor of Vancouver Magazine, votes for Dave as well. Tanya Steel, editor in chief of Epicurious, votes for Kevin. Warren Geraghty, executive chef of West Restaurant in Vancouver, also votes for Kevin, which ties them at 2 each. Colman Andrews, the restaurant columnist for Gourmet Magazine, votes for Dave. Dave wins the challenge.

Working on a couple hours sleep, they must now create their own menus for the final service of the season. Kevin gets Heather, while Dave gets Scott. Of course, they’re going to need more help than that. As the challenge winner, Dave will pick first.

Dave’s team: Ariel, Robert, Suzanne
Kevin’s team: Van, Amanda, Sabrina

Kevin’s gone with an elaborate menu, while Dave’s goal is simple cooking that his team can easily pick up.

Kevin’s menu features: caramelized scallops, coffee cured beef tenderloin, and creme brulee trio
Dave’s menu features: wild mushroom risotto, roasted loin of venison, and dark chocolate mousse

Each kitchen will serve 13 tables and 50 diners. Included amongst the diners is Chef James Walt of Araxi Restaurant and Bar, who will be Kevin or Dave’s future employer.

Amanda starts things off on the wrong foot out of the gates. Her scallops are not done yet.

Robert’s fast feet deliver the first appetizer of the evening, risotto that Dave approves.

Back in the red kitchen, Kevin’s still waiting on Amanda’s scallops. How long? Right now. Are they ready? No. So like do you want them cooked or something? Her next attempt at scallops are overcooked. At Ramsay’s suggestion to shake things up, Kevin pulls Amanda off scallops and replaces her with Van. This works. Van delivers scallops, and Amanda does well on risotto.

Meanwhile, Dave’s almost done with his appetizers. Problem is he’s almost out of mushrooms for the risotto. Dave blames Robert, while Robert blames Dave.

Well, it doesn’t look like Amanda did so well on the risotto. A diner rejects it. The rice is not cooked properly. Kevin puts Van in charge of overseeing Amanda.

Ariel misses her meat again, but this time she acknowledges responsibility, saying she has no excuse for overcooking it. She recovers in her next attempt.

Amanda’s still confused, and she seems to be confusing Kevin in the process. He wants medium rare from her, he thinks.

After much yelling, Kevin decides to take a different approach. He calms down and gets his chefs back on track. Once they’re recovering, Kevin wants to do two tables at once in attempt to catch up.

On the other side, the venison is getting messed up. Then they get salmon returned raw.

Kevin catches up and makes a run to finish service right around the same time as Dave.

It’s time for the moment of truth. Whoever’s door opens will win. The Hell’s Kitchen season 6 winner is Dave. Not quite the outcome I was expecting, but he deserves credit for doing what he did with one arm the whole time.

We are expecting Hell’s Kitchen season 7 some time next year, but no additional details are currently available.

Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Episode 14

Following a disastrous service, Tennille was eliminated in Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Episode 13. Despite the fake drama, Dave’s wrist was not enough to take him out of the competition, even if he may well screw it up for life.

Under the domes, there are three cuisines from around the world, and each person will be expected to make what they pick. Ariel gets China, Dave gets India (he’s not happy), and Kevin gets Mexico. In the storeroom, the ingredients are set aside for each country. They are given 45 minutes to cook one entree. Dave plans to pick a dish he knows and just add something Indian to it. After 15 minutes, he still hasn’t decided. His main goal is to cook whatever animal India does not worship. At least he didn’t cook the cow, opting for pork instead.

The judges are world reknowned chefs for each type of cuisine. Ariel has cooked, uh, uh, um, noodles with duck. The Mexican cook didn’t think it was too balanced, the Indian chef enjoyed the sweetness, and the Chinese chef thought it was a good try but the sauce was watery. Kevin has cooked orange and cumin marinated pork tenderloin with Mexican chocolate sauce. Oops. He forgot the sauce. This is becoming a pattern. He forgot the garnish on a previous task. The Mexican judge thinks that maybe the sauce would have put him over the top, the Chinese cook loves it, and the Indian cook thought it was an interesting combination. Dave has cooked ming bean puree and a seared pork tenderloin. The pork choice turns out not so good because there are a lot of muslims living in India. The Mexican felt it worked well together, especially considering he hasn’t worked with the spices before, the Chinese chef enjoyed it, and the Indian judge thought it was amazing for a first try.

Dave wins by a unanimous vote. For his reward, each of the chefs will cook their signature dish for him, and he also gets a set of the cookware that they’ve been using in the kitchen. To round out the reward, he will be joined by his sister and fiancee. The punishment for the others is to polish the silverware and then prep for that night’s service.

Tonight is a chance to run the pass. Scott and Heather will fill in where needed.

Dave and Kevin start off with compliments on their appetizers. Then it’s time for one of the chefs to take over.

It’s Kevin’s turn first. He believes he’s been running things all along. He’s off to a strong start. The first sabotage is the substitution of halibut for seabass. This does not get past Kevin. His next test is unplanned: Ariel’s slowing him down on meat. When he receives her lamb, he rejects it. The next time up, she tells him she can’t cut the bone off becase it will ruin the chop. His request to her is obvious. Cut the bone off. When she does this, it ruins the chop. Does she have another lamb? His constant rejection of Ariel’s food is not doing himself any favors because him stopping her is just dragging himself down.

Dave is next. He’s a very intense leader, yelling more than Ramsay does if that’s possible. His quality control test is the substitution of spinach puree for asparagus puree. He tastes it but does not notice. The second sabotage also slips past him. He finally ends up noticing the cold tuna and the unsalted asparagus.

Ariel takes over after him. She thinks she’s gone if she fails, which she probably is. Parsnip puree has been substituted for mashed potatoes, which she’s happy with. The next sabotage dish is salmon substituted for seabass, but this time she notices. Then she starts rattling off orders one after another. Kevin doesn’t know where she’s at. She realizes she’s lost control of the kitchen and blames Kevin for dragging on purpose.

After service is over, each person is asked to name one person they don’t think belongs in the final. Kevin has chosen Ariel because she’s not quite there yet. Ariel has chosen Kevin because of his service while she was at the pass. Dave goes with Ariel because he felt most lost when she was up at the pass.

The first person to advance to the finals is Dave. The second person to advance is Kevin. Ariel has been eliminated.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Episode 15, where we will find out who the Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 winner is, which airs next on Fox.

The Amazing Race 15 Episode 4

In the all too predictable The Amazing Race 15 Episode 3, Ron & Marcy were eliminated.

Football was 20 minutes behind, and that was before they went into overtime. A live blog will begin when 60 Minutes is over.

Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.

First: Herbert & Nathaniel – 6:53PM
Second: Meghan & Cheyne – 6:54PM
Third: Gary & Matt – 6:58PM
Fourth: Brian & Ericka – 6:59PM
Fifth: Sam & Dan – 7:06PM
Sixth: Maria & Tiffany – 7:16PM
Seventh: Mika & Canaan – 7:25PM
Eighth: Zev & Justin – 7:31PM
Ninth: Lance & Keri – 7:32PM

Teams will now fly to Phnom Penh (not to be confused with Sean Penn), Cambodia and stop at the Foreign Correspondents Club. All the teams are pretty well bunched together, although only Vietnam Airlines makes the flight, with none available until 12:25 the next afternoon. Strangely, although they were there about 16 hours before the flight is scheduled to depart, the last two teams are told the flight is full. They are put on standby but given tickets for the second flight at 2:15PM. After waiting overnight, in the last minutes leading up to departure, both teams are told they’re on the same flight as everybody else.

Upon arrival at the FCC, they must get their next assignment from the editor. They receive a photograph to figure out that their next destination is the Hotel Le Royal, which has a suite named after Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who made one official visit to Cambodia in 1967. Canaan slips up asking for his next task, rather than his next assignment. The editors refuse to buckle until he rereads his clue. He also believes that the picture is of Queen Elizabeth, but he is not alone in his complete confusion over who he’s looking for. Not that it matters because they are not required to identify the photo, only figure out where it is hanging.

When they get to the hotel, Sam & Dan pretend that they didn’t find anything. The Globetrotters don’t believe them. It’s probably a little to early to be playing the game that hard.

The detour is a choice between cover or wrap. In cover, teams must choose and sell four motorcycle helmets to a family of four consisting of two adults and two children. In wrap, teams must take scarves and look through the market for a woman wearing an identical scarf. Typically, the searching tasks are the worst choice, although in this case, it does not look like there’s much difference between the two tasks.

Wrap: Zev & Justin, Sam & Dan, Herbert & Nathaniel, Mika & Canaan, Meghan & Chenyne, Maria & Tiffany, Gary & Matt, Brian & Ericka
Cover: Lance & Keri

From there, teams will travel on foot to Wat Toul Tom Pong. After about a 2k run, it’s time for the road block. There’s a royal monkey handler who trains dancers to act like monkeys. To complete this road block, one person must learn to be a monkey and go bananas. This turns out to be a fairly simple task, although it is a source of drama for some people (Zev and as usual Lance & Keri).

Road block (in order of arrival): Zev, Dan, Flight Time, Ericka, Meghan, Gary, Keri, Maria, Canaan

The pit stop for this leg of the race is Wat Phnom, the tallest religious structure in the city, a buddhist shrine built more than 600 years ago.

Zev & Justin arrive first, but there’s a catch. They can’t find their passports. If you can’t find your passports, you may as well just quit because you won’t be able to go much further. Phil won’t let them quit. Instead, if they can’t find their documents, they will be the ones eliminated. For some reason, they have not searched their backpacks yet. After searching them, they are only able to locate Justin’s. They must go back out on the course and need to return with Zev’s passport before the last team arrives.

First: Sam & Dan
Second: Herbert & Nathaniel
Third: Brian & Ericka
Fourth: Gary & Matt
Fifth: Meghan & Cheyne
Sixth: Lance & Keri
Seventh: Mika & Canaan
Eighth: Maria & Tiffany
Eliminated: Zev & Justin

Unable to find Zev’s passport, Zev & Justin have been eliminated from the race.

Survivor: Samoa Episode 4

Because Jaison took issue with the Yasmin situation, Ben was voted off the island in Survivor: Samoa Episode 3.

Jaison could not handle people who use phrases meant to hurt people, like how he insinuated all southerners are racist.

Erik wants to find out all the information about the immunity idol. He think Shambo’s going to give everything away so that he can get the idol. Apparently, she will. John gets the info, too.

Mick chooses two people to go on a mission that may or may not get them more food. Russell H and Natalie will be going with him. Russell S must also choose two people, and he picks Natalie and Dave. When they arrive, they see some chickens. They’re not sure what to do. After waiting around for a while, they decide to jump to it and find some instructions. It’s bocce ball. Mick gets close and sticks close the whole time. Russell H looks like he’s got some experience, getting about as close as possible. On the last ball, Dave throws a ball almost touching the stick, and Galu wins reward.

Three people are off playing bocce, so Erik sends those who are awake to get fruit, while most of the tribe sleeps. He figures he’s got 10 minutes to find that idol. John wakes up and knows what’s going on. Erik ends up finding the idol, believing that everybody is stupid enough to believe there is no idol on their island, too.

Russell H is thinking he would prefer to get Natalie to the end rather than Jaison.

Shambo lets a chicken get away. Good luck catching that thing. Chickens can fly, kinda. Erik’s mad that nobody seems to care.

Some of the members of Galu are starting to get tired of Yasmin because she’s not contributing at camp.

The immunity challenge is to race across a net carrying wooden blocks, which they will stack. Then they will make their way across a rope bridge for more blocks to stack even higher. Shambo, Laura, Dave, and Russell S sit out for Galu. Galu is first to complete their first stack. Foa Foa is about 5 seconds behind them. Galu’s got a big lead, until Monica takes a long time to get across. It’s roughly even once she’s done. Galu is first across, but their lead remains just seconds. It comes down to the final stack. Foa Foa completes their last stack first. They win immunity. That’s different.

Russell S is angry because Monica fell apart in that challenge.

Dave has a couple suggestions. Yasmin has done nothing, while Shambo has screwed up (like when she lost the chicken). Russell gets wind of this, and he believes that since he’s a leader, these people better listen to him.
