Amazing Race 10 Winner: Not Tom & Terry

This weeks episode of Amazing Race 10 finds all contestants held up in Hanoi, Vietnam, waiting for information on the next leg of the race.

Erwin and Godwin, having finished the last leg of the race in first place, are the first to set out on this leg of the race, which see’s them cabbing to the South East corner of Ly Thai To garden. All teams will start this leg of the race with $50,000 dong or Vietnamese dollars.

The order in which teams starts is very important in Amazing Race and can dictate a lot of what happens from leg to leg of the race. The order the teams started in for this leg of the race was:

Erwin & Godwin
James & Tyler
Rob & Kim
Dustin & Kandice
Peter & Sarah
Lyn & Karlyn
David & Mary
Tom & Terry

Once teams arrive at the SE corner of Ly Thai To garden they must listen for an announcement which will tell them where to go next. One by one each team determines the sound is coming from a statue and they crowd around it to hear what it says. The announcement tells them they must take a taxi across the Red River to Ben Xai Cai Lai, where they will find a bus station. They must then take a bus to Ha Long Bay and find Hydroform Tavern.

As usual, since the teams started this leg of the race in the middle of the night, the bus depot is closed, allowing all teams enough time to catch up. All teams are even, as a result, and sit around waiting for the first bus to Ha Long Bay.

Once at Ha Long Bay the teams run into a Roadblock. This roadblock is going to be a toughy and will see one member of each team ascending a straight faced cliff using a mechanical ascending device, sort of like repelling, only the complete opposite.

The first team to arrive at the roadblock is Rob & Kim and Rob elects to scale the rock face. Because they some how managed to get a pretty good lead, Rob is the first to complete the roadblock challenge and learns that the next leg of the race will be for all teams to travel, via motorboat, to Sung Sot Cave.

For whatever reason, when Sarah & Peter arrive at the Roadblock, Sarah elects to scale the wall and wastes valuable time trying to do so, though she eventually manages to power through it and get to the top. That is one tough girl and she doesn’t give up.

Project Runway 3: Vincent Is Such A Moron

Not only is Vincent one of the worst contestants in the history of Project Runway, he’s got to be one of the dumbest and most obnoxious contestants in the history of reality TV. He is a dreadful designer, every single outfit he’s made has look a complete mess and he is a complete and utter fool.

Watch this video from last nights reunion episode of Project Runway 3 to see Vincent absolutely FREAK on one of the producers for laundering his precious clothes. Apparently his shirts, which usually look like they’ve been pulled from the bottom of a dumpster or found on the street somewhere, cost $125 each and can’t handle being fluffed and folded. Riiiiiiight. Thank god he’s FINALLY off the show, I couldn’t handle having to listen to his continous whining anymore.

Survivor Cook Islands Winner: Not J.P.

Survivor Cook Islands Recap

This weeks episode of Survivor kicks off with a sulky and emo sounding Ozzy, complaining about how he feels like an outcast in the new tribe. I have to say, I can see why, he’s the only member of his original tribe left on his new tribe and he doesn’t really seem to fit with anyone else in the tribe. Although, you’d figure he might be a little more comfortable, he seemed to manage in Playboys Foursome no problem, I’m sure he can manage Survivor.

Candice returns from Exile island and the lazy ass boys on Rarotonga make a pact to stick together. I guess they don’t realize that the girls out number them, but they’ll realize that soon enough.

Survivor Cook Islands Reward Challenge
Reward: 3 Blankets, 2 Pillows and 1 Hammock.

Two tribe members attached together by a rope.
The remaining tribe members must push, pull and drag the teathered tribe members through an obstacle course.
Once through the course, one member must swim out to a marker, dive down and retreive a ships wheel decoder.
Once back on land the team must use the ships wheel to successfully decode a sentence.

Everything starts off as all square and both teams manage to stay even through the second portion of the obstacle course. It isn’t until Rarotonga gets hung up on their ropes that Aitutaki breaks into a pretty big lead.

Ozzy for Aitutaki busts it into the water and is back on the beach, starting to decode before Rarotonga has even managed to get themselves untangled. But Rarotonga’s luck runs out briefly as they get stumped by the puzzle and Aitutaki recovers fully. Both teams are scrambling to decode the sentence, but only one team manages to pull it off first and Aitutaki walks away with the win and some comfy bedding. But before they walk away as survivor reward challenge winners, they send Adam of Rarotonga to Exile Island.

Biggest Loser Recap: Nelson Eliminated

Welly, Welly, Welly my droogies, Wednesday nights reality TV time is done with and now it’s time to recap Biggest Loser. Off we go then, for a little of the old in-out in-out, real horror show.

To date both the Red and Blue teams have lost a combined total weight of 356lbs. That is a huge number to have so early in. This season of the biggest loser is going to be a total success.

The blue teams sitting around sulking, as usual, since they had to get rid of a member on the last episode of biggest loser when Bob walks in and let’s loose a pretty damn cool surprise. Everyone is taking off for a cruise! Is it just me, or have they been going to a lot of different places this season? Thus far they’ve hardly spent any time at the ranch it seems.

As soon as the trainers set foot on the cruise ship a wave of yummy food smells flows over them and the contestants, putting the fear of bad eating and no working out into the trainers. Naturally, to curb that thought right away and to get their minds on something else, Bob takes the blue team for a run around the cruise ship and Kim throws the red team into the pool to swim some laps. Hey, at least you’re working out on a cruise ship and not at the ranch, right? That’s got to be some kind of positive.

Dinner time! The ultimate in healthy eating challenges is about to take place as both teams file into the cruise ships buffet to get a bite to eat. Buffets are notorious for being, shall we say, less than healthy, which is why they’re so damn good and so hard to resist. Both teams, however, managed to cruise the entire buffet, pick up tips from their trainers and get a nice healthy meal out of the deal. Good work guys! Way to curb that temptation and kick it in the face. Wish I had that kind of will power… mmmmm buffet.

Biggest Loser at Home:

Erin of Rhode Island came in to Biggest Loser weighing in at 244lbs. To date, Erin has dropped her weigh to a mere 189lbs, for a total loss of 55lbs! That’s fantastic to do on your own, great work girl, you’re looking awesome!

Amazing Race 10 Recap: Duke & Lauren Eliminated

This weeks episode of Aamazing Race 10 stars off as usual, with a brief recap of what went down in last weeks Amazing Race 10 episode.

Peter & Sarah were the first team to finish the last leg of the race, as such, they were the first to head out on this leg. They both leave at 6:54am and head for Hanoi, Vietnam where they will search for the “Hanoi Hilton” Prison.

All teams get $0 to start this leg of the race and will be left to rely on whatever money they have left over from previous legs. They are also not allowed to beg or sell anything to make more money. This will certainly prove to be a lot harder for some teams than others.

In order to get to Hanoi, Vietnam via Mongolia all teams must go to the Ghengis Chan hotel where they will buy plane tickets to Vietnam. Big downer for the teams in the lead, the travel agent doesn’t open until 9:00am, at which time almost all the teams have arrived and are battling it out for a spot with one of four vendors, which also doesn’t matter, since everyone gets on the same flight.

Dustin & Kandice cut the line on Tom & Terry and the boys whine and cry like 3 year olds for a few mins before making some snarky comments, giving up and waiting back in line.

All the teams get booked on the 1:00pm flight to Beijing, where they will connect to Hanoi, Vietnam.

Duke & Lauren are falling behind at the airport because, for some stupid reason, Duke decided he wanted to wait for a lady he met on the plane to get help finding where they need to go. Big mistake, as waiting for her to get back to the cab uses up precious time and, to top it off, she wants to be taken to her brothers house before they head to where they need to go. The kicker, her brothers house is 30mins out of the way and they’re no going to have enough money to pay the cab driver. HA! Idiots.

Survivor Cook Islands Recap: Cecilia Eliminated

Tonight’s episode of Survivor Cook Islands certainly proved to be an interesting one and had a few twists and turns that I definitely wasn’t expecting. Now, on to the recap:

The Aitutaki tribes members start the show off by sitting around their camp talking about Billy’s supposed “love at first sight” bought with Christina. What an idiot, if he wasn’t going home already, that stupid comment was certainly the nail in his coffin.

Over at the Puka beach some spear fishing is happening and a fair amount of fish are falling victim to speary-wrath and Cao Boi is rambling on about something, naturally. Brad’s getting really sick of listening to Cao Boi ramble on all the time and has taken to blocking him out. I have to admit, I liked Cao Boi at first for his excentric nature, but now he’s just annoying me. Sorry buddy.

At the Rarotonga beach tree mail is being broken out and it mentions something about using your brains and baun to further your stay in the game. Kind of early for a challenge though, wonder what that could mean? Oooooooh, I know what it means:

Tribal Change Up:

In an interesting twist of events, all four teams meet Jeff Probst for waht they think is a challenge, but walk into a full out tribal switcheroo. Yul returns from Exile Island (having found the immunity idol, I remind you) and all the teams are seperated into two rows, men and women.

Jeff Probst comes around with a sack and gets all the male Survivors to pick a tile out of the bag and to hide it in the palm of their hands. Jeff then grabs a seperate bag and pulls the same trick with the female Survivor. Interesting.

All of the Survivors show their tiles and the ones with X’s are selected as new team captains. The captains come out as:

Cecilia
Parvati
Brad
Jonathan

The two men and two women then throw down some rock, paper, scissors action to see who gets to pick for their team first. The teams ended up coming out as:

Biggest Loser 3 Recap: Tiffany Eliminated

This weeks episode of the Biggest Loser 3 kicked off with both the Red and Blue teams getting a bit of a training surprise. Both teams hopped into four gorgeous old Ford Mustangs and headed for the beach, where they would be training. Sand + Exercise = Way harder and lots of sore muscles. Ouchy!

But before leaving for the beach, Ken gets some really sad news from home and learns that his 19 year old son has been in the CCU (critical care unit) for the past three days, likely as a result of an infection due to surgery he received. He pulls Kim out of the room and she comforts him, gives him a big hug and tries to get him back in the game. After that both the blue and red teams get together and pray for Kens son. I’m personally an atheist, but the fact that everyone was willing to sit down together and pray for Ken’s son struck me as very awesome. These people really do care about eachother a lot, it’s a great thing to see people care for each other in a reality TV show, instead of the usual hate, venom and disdain.

The first beach workout for both teams was hardcore. Both Bob and Kim were pushing the red and blue teams to the max and working them like dogs. There was some definite shedding of poundage as a result of this workout.

Temptation Challenge:

20+ sand castles are laid out in a grid, under each sand castle is either a chocolate bar, carrot stick or immunity.
Some of the contestants, mainly Pam, consider giving in, in the hopes of finding immunity.
In the end, both the red and blue teams refuse to give in and no one from either tribe takes part in the temptation challenge. Good work guys!

Once back from the tempation challenge the Biggest Loser 3 contestants get to have the very first Biggest Loser BBQ. The trainers say that the average calories taken in at a BBQ are around 2,500 and can get even higher, but those calories are required to have a good BBQ. Healthy romaine salads, veggies, fruits and turkey burgers are the nights specialty and everyone enjoys the down time of the BBQ. Once the BBQ is over, the teams get another gem of info, they’ll be sleeping on the beach for the night. Hehe, nice!

Home Contestant Feature:

Adrian from North Dakota has already dropped 4 sizes and is looking and doing really well. Good work Adrian, Keep it up!

Survivor Cook Islands: Ozzy Featured in Playboy’s “Foursome”

Well, it happens every time, when a new season of a reality TV show comes out, especially one as popular as Survivor Cook Islands, someone always manages to dig up some dirt on one of the contestants.

This seasons feature is the strapping young Aitutaki member Ozzy, who apparently is about as shy of walking around naked as Richard Hatch, winner of the first season of Survivor.

Ozzy, one of the current favorites to win Survivor Cook Islands, was featured on Playboy TV‘s reality TV series “Foursome.” Foursome was a reality TV dating show that aired on Playboy TV that “captures every passionate moment on tape!”

I can’t wait to hear what other dirt will be dug up on this seasons contestants. This one will be pretty hard to top though, with the shear funny factor of it.
