The Amazing Race 15 Episode 10

Gary & Matt were unable to recover from their previous non-elimination and ended up being eliminated in The Amazing Race 15 Episode 9.

Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.

First: Meghan & Cheyne – 12:00AM
Second: Sam & Dan – 12:19AM
Third: Herbert & Nathaniel – 12:20AM
Fourth: Brian & Ericka – 12:22AM

Teams will now fly over 700 miles to Prague, Czech Republic, where they will need to go to the old square and locate a man in a Praga, which they must figure out is a vintage Czech convertible. They have $0 for this leg of the race. The first flight is at 5:20AM via Riga, Latvia. Everybody ends up on the same flight.

While they’re waiting at the airport, Meghan & Cheyne look up what a Praga is. Meghan wants to tell people that it’s a hat.

Upon arrival in Prague, most of the teams take cabs, while Brian & Ericka take the bus at the advice of someone on the plane. If this doesn’t work out, they could well be out of the race. Hell of a risk to take. It’s definitely not the fastest way. So the question is how much slower it is. Eventually, after getting stuck in traffic, they just say screw it and grab a cab. By this point, they’re clearly in last.

Sam & Dan are just lucky Meghan & Cheyne knew what a Praga was because they still had no clue. Ironic considering they were just complaining about the Globetrotters being unable to think for themselves.

The next stop is outdoor adventure center Kayaky Troja. The detour is a choice between fast & furious or slow & steady. In fast & furious, teams take a rough ride down the whitewater rafting course used to train professional kayakers. They’ll have to grab a ribbon with their next clue on the way there, without tipping over. In slow & steady, teams have to pull themselves along an aerial ropes course. One task is more physically demanding, while the other task may require multiple attempts. Typically, the physical task proves best for those who can handle it.

Slow: Meghan & Cheyne, Herbert & Nathaniel, Sam & Dan (switched from fast), Brian & Ericka

Sam & Dan, arguing as usual, flip over on their first try. Then their second try. Big Easy’s surprisingly struggling with their detour, but Flight Time completes it first. Because Meghan & Cheyne are complaining that Flight’s slowing them down on purpose, he does just that, realizing that he can just wait for his partner and take his time, preventing them from getting as big a lead as they otherwise would have had. As both the first teams finish the detour, Sam & Dan flip over again. They finally decide to switch. “We’re safe as long as Brian & Ericka aren’t here… damnit, Brian & Ericka are here.” The gap has been decreased to a couple of minutes, but as Ericka struggles with the task, that gap will grow.

With only one cab around, it’s time to get sneaky. Sam & Dan want to steal Brian & Ericka’s taxi. They’ll pay extra if he takes off on Brian & Ericka. Works for him.

Teams must figure out that the words on their clue Stavovske Divadlo refer to the Estates Theater, where they will search for their next clue. Meghan & Cheyne offer to work with the Globetrotters. That lasts until a taxi shows up and Cheyne wants to bail, which leads to an argument between Meghan and Cheyne. The Globetrotters will be taking the train anyway, but they aren’t going to trust Cheyne any time soon. Meghan warns him they’ll hold a grudge and use that fire to motivate them.

The road block is to remain composed under pressure. That should rule out both brothers and the women. The task is to search among the theater’s 600 seats and numerous rooms to find a miniature mandolin. By miniature, they mean the tiny ones taped underneath the seats, not the normal sized ones that everybody keeps grabbing. Once Cheyne’s got it, the two trailing teams should now know what they’re looking for. As Ericka searches, the singer takes a rest and grabs a sandwich.

Road block (in order of arrival): Cheyne, Big Easy, Dan, Ericka

The pit stop for this leg of the race is Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world, built more than 1200 years ago.

First: Meghan & Cheyne (win a trip to Hawaii)
Second: Sam & Dan
Third: Herbert & Nathaniel
Non-eliminated: Brian & Ericka

Brian & Ericka are the last team to arrive, but they have been non-eliminated. As a penalty, they will have to complete a speed bump on the next leg.

Survivor: Amazon Episode 8

Following the merge, the new Jaburu tribe stuck together and voted out Roger in Survivor: Amazon Episode 7.

Dave had put his faith into an alliance with Roger, keeping him around at a time when multiple members in the tribe vocally wanted him gone. With that said, now Dave has to figure out something new. He’s next on the chopping block, though. Both Deena and Rob strongly want him out, as both consider him the biggest threat.

Then comes the creepy machete montage. Matthew is concentrating a little too much on sharpening his machete. Once again. He sits and sharpens it for an hour at a time. Why does he need it so sharp? Who’s he planning to kill?

The reward challenge will be played in two rounds. First, collect flags while strapped to a bungee and running through the mud. First team of three to get all five flags moves on to the final round, where they must compete against each other to retrieve three flags. Reward is a bath, banana split, brownie sundae, and strawberries and cream. The green team is Christy, Rob, and Butch. The purple team is Dave, Deena, and Alex. The orange team is Jenna, Matt, and Heidi. Orange team starts off with the lead, with purple on their heels. Green team is out of it, as the other two teams go neck and neck. Purple takes the lead as it gets more physical, which is unsurprising since two strong guys are on that team. Dave, Deena, and Alex move on to the final round. Dave gets the lead and keeps it the whole way to win reward. Of course, he’s not going to go alone. Deena and Alex get to pick from a number behind his back, and Deena is correct, so she will be going with him.

The Deena pick will no doubt be viewed as intentional by those looking for an excuse to read into it, but he gave each of his teammates a fair chance. Deena’s probably the smartest choice Dave could bring with him. She’s not in complete control of the game, but she’s playing a very large role. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Dave’s screwed. Deena denies having any power to change his fate, but she suggests maybe getting rid of the increasingly funky Matthew.

Rob says he’s aware that Heidi and Jenna (aka twigs and sticks) wouldn’t pay any attention to him in real life, and he’s aware they’re using their sexuality to try to get him to make stupid mistakes.

When Dave and Deena get back to camp, they say they’re still hungry, and they plan to eat dinner, which seems quite fair to me. Not so fair sounding to the rest of the tribe, which complains that these people just ate ice cream and now want to eat an actual meal.

Rob’s concerned that Dave and Heidi are getting too close. Her response is that she’s just playing him. Rob would like a shot with her, which apparently would happen once Dave’s gone.

In order to keep Matthew onboard, Rob tells him that the final three plan is them and Alex, something he has no plans of honoring. Instead, he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

The contestants all get masks to decorate in their own image for the immunity challenge. Of course, they will be destroying those masks. The masks will be hanging in front of a suspended log. Each time they get an answer right, they can chop someone else’sog. After three hits, they’re out.

What is guarana?
A Brazilian energy drink. Dave strikes Matthew. Deena hits Matthew again. Matthew returns the favor to Dave. Alex gives Dave his second hit.

In the unlikely event you are attacked by an alligator, crocodile, or kamen, you should…
Punch it in the snout, cover its eyes, and try to get on its back. Heidi eliminates Matthew. Matthew eliminates Dave. Dave strikes back Alex. Deena gives Alex his second hit. Alex hits Deena. Christy eliminates Alex. With that, Alex should be worried with where he stands in this tribe.

If you find yourself face to face with a bushmaster, you’re looking at…
The world’s largest viper. Deena strikes Rob. Heidi gives him his second. Jenna goes after Butch, who has surprisingly been unscathed thus far. Christy eliminates Rob. Butch strikes Jenna.

Amazonian tribesmen still use primitive weapons like bows and arrows and blowpipes to hunt birds and monkeys.
True. Heidi hits Butch. Butch returns the favor. Jenna eliminates Butch. Christy goes for Deena. Deena strikes Christy back.

The Amazon is the longest river in the world.
False. The Nile is the longest. Christy goes for Heidi. Deena strikes Christy. Heidi eliminates Christy. Jenna eliminates Deena.

A piraruku is…
An Amazonian fish. Heidi chops Jenna, but it’s moot. Jenna eliminates Heidi to win immunity.

So now it’s a question of Matt, the wildcard, or Dave, the threat who was aligned with Roger.

Matthew says he fits in now. If only he knew.

Heidi found the immunity challenge quite amusing. The guys basically just eliminated each other, leaving the girls as the last four standing.

As much talk as there was about possibly getting rid of Matthew, it looks like all for show. By a unanimous vote, Dave has been voted off the island.

Lost Season 6 Moves to Tuesday

Lost season 6 will be moving to Tuesdays at 9/8c when it returns on February 2. As if Tuesday weren’t an excessively busy night to begin with. Assuming V sticks around on Tuesday nights, this would allow ABC to have itself a sci fi block. It could always dump Flash Forward in there as well to make a whole sci fi night, but that seems an unlikely scenario given the success that show has seen thus far on Thursday nights.

The move to Tuesday puts Lost up against some tough competition. Obviously, there’s American Idol, television’s #1 show. Over on NBC, there’s the Winter Olympics, and then NBC’s only real non-sports success story, The Biggest Loser. Over on CBS is freshman drama NCIS: Los Angeles, basking in the success of its lead-in being the top rated show for the fall season.

The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 10

Aunt Jenna started dating Alaric in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 9. She also got a visit from Logan, the dead guy.

Logan says he was out of town. As far as Jenna knows, she was dumped, via e-mail. He claims he didn’t send any e-mail, but what he does need is an invite inside. Not happening. So instead he goes outside and eats a jogger.

Jeremy’s got his sketch pad out. Nobody’s saying anything, for fear of scaring him away from it.

Stefan and Damon both plan to leave town. Stefan mostly just wants to go wherever his brother is not. Damon wants to follow him, though. They’re a team. They could travel the world together. They could try out for The Amazing Race.

Damon gets a visit from the sheriff. There’s been another attack.

Bonnie’s not dead, and she’s also not undead. Back to her normal life as a witch.

Now that there’s another vampire in town, Stefan doesn’t want to leave any more. So that means he doesn’t have to say goodbye to Elena. Not yet.

When Damon arrives to figure out who was responsible for the attack, he’s shot at. Now he’s finding out Logan’s been turned. That’s news to him. If he didn’t turn him, who did? He won’t be finding that out just yet. It turns out he’s been doing a lot of killing. He’s been hiding the bodies, well, except for that one the cops found.

Jeremy goes to career day, where he’s surprised to find out that Ty is also an artist. As for Stefan, he’s not there to look for a job, but he has dabbled in a bunch of things. Problem is he could only stay a few years at each place before leaving, so that nobody could notice he wasn’t getting any older.

Then he sees Logan. Yeah, he thought he was dead, too. Logan doesn’t want to answer any questions about who turned him, but he does want to know how he could turn into a daywalker. Blackmail’s not going to work any more than shooting did.

Jeremy would like to have a pleasant conversation with Ty, seeing as how they both like to draw and did the same chick. After Ty insults Vicki, this goes south quickly, and they’re busted for fighting.

When he leaves the school, Logan sees Caroline. He used to babysit for her, and she’s looking for a ride home. No problem. Get in, and watch your head when it bashes into a window.

Ty’s dad has a solution when he drags Jeremy and Ty outside: fight in the parking lot. Alaric doesn’t like what he sees, and he breaks it up.

Logan calls up the sheriff to say he’s got her daughter and wants to make her a vampire. Not if the brothers get their way. Damon’s going to try again: who turned him? Rather than be tortured, Logan has an offer to help him get inside the tomb beneath the old church.

Not to be stopped by the brawl they almost got into, Jeremy would still like to be Ty’s buddy. Yeah, still not happening.

Elena thought she wanted to be a writer, until her mom died. She tries to convince Stefan that she already had bad stuff in her life. He says he’s doing this for her and walks away. It won’t be that easy. She loves him, and he if wants to leave, he’s going to have to do it for himself. If that day comes, it will not be today because they’re going back to his place.

Logan meets Alaric and believes he’s got the upperhand, but that lasts about two seconds before he’s staked.

After the deed is done and Stefan leaves the room to go get something to drink, Elena spots a picture of Katherine. Looks familiar.

The sheriff calls Damon to thank him for disposing of Logan’s body. Again, news to him.

Running away from what she’s just seen, Elena hits something standing in the middle of the road and flips her car. Whatever she hit, it gets right up.

Survivor: Samoa Episode 10

Russell found a second hidden immunity idol without any clues in Survivor: Samoa Episode 9. As a result, the 7 votes against him did not count, so Kelly was voted off the island.

Dave says he’s impressed. That was a good move.

Shambo finds this all quite hilarious, especially the look on Laura’s face when she found out she’d been had.

Since there’s another idol in the game (not sure why, other than to keep the story going), Russell will be on the look out for it.

Shambo doesn’t want just a 5-5 tie. She wants 6-4, so she goes to John. He’s unable to give her an answer, but he does say that he won’t sell her out and will keep in confidence the fact that she went to him and has flipped.

For the challenge, they will divide into two teams of five. One person will lie face down in a cradle, while the other four people use ropes to maneuver them to grab 15 flags in order. Reward is to board a plane and fly to the neighboring island of Savai’i. The yellow team is Shambo, Jaison, Monica, and Mick with John in the cradle. The purple team is Dave, Brett, Laura, and Russell with Natalie in the cradle. Purple’s getting the hang of this pretty quickly, and they’re not looking back. Purple team wins reward.

That will leave Foa Foa, Shambo, and Monica back at camp, minus Russell, who should now be able to go get a clue for the idol.

Jaison goes to Monica, looking for one more person to be on their side. They don’t need one more beyond that. She’s number six. Monica assumes they mean Shambo, although they aren’t giving any names. She wants John out. That’s going to be tough to convince Shambo to do, but for the majority advantage, it makes sense.

As expected, the people on the reward get clues to the hidden idol (both a video clue and multiple word clues). When Russell gets back to camp, he immediately starts the hunt for the idol. This time, he’s not alone. Others are actually making an effort, too. Jaison’s also looking with him, while Dave and Laura follow (or try to follow anyway… they lose him). Russell circles back around to where everybody was looking, and he’s now got himself a third hidden immunity idol.

Monica goes right to Laura to tell her she doesn’t trust Shambo or John. This is why Jaison should leave the strategy up to Shambo and Russell. What’s he doing going up to Laura’s closest ally?

The immunity challenge happens in two parts. The first part is to try to break as many tiles as possible using rocks. For each tile they break, they earn a spear. The person who lands their spear closest to the target wins. They are only given one shot. Shambo and Russell both miss. Jaison gets 1 spear. John and Monica miss. Dave knocks out one of Monica’s tiles, giving her a spear. Natalie misses. Mick gets 1 spear. Brett gets 2 spears. Laura misses, which causes Shambo to burst out laughing and high five Russell. Real subtle.

Going into the second part of the challenge, Brett has 2 spears, and Jaison, Mick, and Monica have 1. It doesn’t really matter here. None of these people are likely to be targets. Jaison hits the target to set the mark to beat. Jaison misses the target and is out. Monica hits the target but not close enough. Mick manages to get ahead of Brett, who’s got one shot left to do better. Mick wins immunity.

With Laura not having immunity, they can finally get rid of her. Shambo goes to Brett to tell him she’s voting for Laura, and also that there is no more Galu.

Laura and Dave want to vote for Russell again. John wants to vote for Natalie. She’s the least likely to have the idol since she didn’t look for it. John is increasingly surprised by how stupid his tribe is.

Monica makes a pitch to Foa Foa: vote for John because that’s what she’s doing. Russell knows that Shambo will vote Laura, regardless of what else is going on. He decides to let John know that his own tribe is after him. Before that can happen, Brett tells John that’s the plan, to which John responds he’d like to have known that before they started it. Assuming this plan works, it gives them the numbers back, but it also gives John 4 votes against him.

So then John goes to Russell. What has he heard? He believes they’re being swindled. Fair assessment. Russell’s mind is unchanged. They will force a tie. Does John want to draw rocks, or does he want to get rid of Laura? John agrees to give up one of his own members, as long as Russell gives up a Foa Foa next time. What this conversation does is ensure John he’s not getting any votes tonight.

At tribal council, Shambo says that Galu is not one tight unit any more. The day Erik was voted off, Galu was broken.

Survivor: Amazon Episode 7

Although she had recovered from her whining, Shawna was voted out in Survivor: Amazon Episode 6.

Rob is worried that Alex is a little depressed that Shawna’s not around any more. Maybe now he’ll get back to playing. Either that, or he’ll just get voted off right away.

Enough of that, though, Rob’s right back into strategy mode. He pitches to his new tribe a plan to pretend after the merger that everything’s still as it was. Jenna has confidence that she can get Heidi, but she doesn’t trust Christy, probably because she has never made an effort to bond with her. Deena suggests getting rid of Dave first. Rob, meanwhile, wants to tell Roger to shut up at some point in the near future.

In treemail, they get a key. The mystery box. It’s been there from day one. It’s now day 18, and the mystery will be revealed. What’s inside? A clue telling them it’s time to merge. Lame, even if it is good news. Everybody packs up to move to a new site, where they’re going to have to start over from the beginning.

Before Jaburu leaves, they repeat the plan: Dave, Roger, Butch.

When they arrive at Jeff, he gives them new red buffs and a boat to row to their new location, where a feast is waiting for them. While eating, they come up with the new tribe name, Jacare (alligator). It’s not long before Roger decides that he wants to start working and stop celebrating. He’s also irritated that they want to keep the beer cold, rather than worrying about the food.

As the Jaburu men remember why they hated Roger, Deena is joining with them. She’d like to be in charge still, but that’s going to be a tough sell as long as Roger’s around.

Rob’s noticing something. Some people are busy building the shelter. He’s busy building alliances. We’ll see if the people primarily focused on the shelter are going to be there to use it for more than 6 or 9 days.

Christy doesn’t like that she can’t help with the shelter, and Heidi joins the chorus, begging for Roger to go first. If he makes the jury, he’s not going to vote for one of them on the basis of gender.

The immunity challenge is a test of will. They will each stand on a perch 4 inches wide by 12 inches long. Last person standing wins. Jeff lays it all out. There will be some temptations along the way. Don’t jump off until you get those. Jenna offers to take her clothes off for some chocolate and peanutbutter. Get the girls some chocolate and peanutbutter, Probst. He delivers: two colas, a plate of peanutbutter, and a tray of chocolate cookies. Jenna and Heidi both willingly strip for this. To all the kids at school, Butch is not looking. Dave and Alex are, though. Heidi and Jenna jump after stripping, and the first two are out of the challenge at 30 minutes. At 35 minutes, Roger decides to jump, exactly what everybody was waiting for. At the 1 hour mark, the rain comes in. The offer for pizza draws three jumpers: Butch, Rob, and Alex. At 2 hours, Deena says she outlasted Roger. That’s all that really matters. Jeff has a new offer: chicken wings with bleu cheese. Matt and Dave jump in. That leaves Deena and Christy. Jeff offers spaghetti and meatballs at two and a half hours. They’re sharing the food regardless of what happens. Deena suggests rock, paper, scissors. Rock breaks scissors. Deena wins immunity.

Roger thinks that everything is falling into place exactly as they planned. It seems too easy. It seems too good to be true.

At tribal council, discussing the first few days as a merged tribe, Rob says that if people didn’t know what they were good at, there were a couple people more than willing to tell them what to do. Jeff can read between the lines. It sounds like complaints about bossiness. Deena offers up the fact that the women were set aside during that whole shelter building thing, but they took the opportunity to rebond with each other.

Survivor: Amazon Episode 6

Following a tribe shuffle, having been given no assurances other than being third on the chopping block, Heidi turned on the girls and helped the guys vote Jeanne out of the tribe in Survivor: Amazon Episode 5.

Christy wants to know why Jeanne was voted out. Roger responds that the assets brought to the tribe by Jeanne were those already embodied in Butch. Dave describes this explanation as different than his understanding, which was that Jeanne was the next to go in Jaburu.

Heidi defends her decision by saying she was trying to get all of them together as a team, instead of a split tribe three against three. The next morning, the guys go off in their group, leaving the girls behind to do their own thing.

Matthew views his new tribe as a new lease, seeing as he was probably next in line over on the other tribe.

Shawna, who was on her deathbed days prior, is in good spirits now that she’s got a guy to flirt with. She and Alex have some interest in each other, whether it will evolve to anything or not.

The reward challenge is a log roll. Reward is something to spice up their food, as well as some fresh fruit. Deena sits out for Jaburu. Roger and Matthew go first, with Matt easily winning to take the lead 1-0 for Jaburu. Heidi and Shawna are up next, and Shawna wins that match to take the lead 2-0. Alex and Dave go next, which evolves into a good match, as Dave narrowly wins to make it 2-1. Rob and Butch square off, with Butch winning to tie it 2-2. Jenna takes on Christy, and Christy gives Tambaqui the lead 3-2. Alex beats Roger to tie it 3-3. Shawna beats Heidi again to take the lead 4-3. Matt loses to Butch to bring the score to 4-4. In the final showdown, Christy takes on Jenna. With Christy’s win, Tambaqui wins reward.

Their victory brings Tambaqui a sense of being a team.

Following their loss, Jaburu decides to have a communal bath. Now that they have some men around, the young girls can be bathed by others, instead of acting like they’re better than the rest of the tribe and going off on their own for a soap commercial gone wrong. Deena sits off to the side and watches the action.

Rob’s concerned that Alex is more interested in making friends than playing the game. Their alliance no longer seems reliable. So he approaches Deena, who he sees as being as hungry as he is. As much as he’d like to get rid of Matthew, they need his fishing skills and probably his vote.

Not to be stopped by the fact that Alex and Shawna are trying to hook up, Matthew is looking to create a triangle.

The immunity challenge is to get meat into a basket using only their mouths. Jenna sits out for Jaburu. It’s like watching a bunch of animals at feeding time. Jaburu ends up at just under 9kg. Tambaqui gets just over 9kg to win immunity.

Shawna agrees to put her head on the chopping block rather than letting one of the other girls go home before her, although she has decided now that she still wants to be in the game because there are guys on her team. Matt and Alex say they’re going to trade votes with each other. Shawna wants to make it one more for Matt. Rob doesn’t want to see Matt go any more, especially since he’s been putting so much effort into getting on his good side lately.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 16

The top 14 dancers performed in So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 15, and tonight two more will be sent home.

Ashleigh di Lello & Jakob Karr are safe. Karen Hauer & Kevin Hunt are in the bottom three. Adam is not surprised.

Ellenore Scott & Ryan di Lello are safe. Noelle Marsh & Russell Ferguson and Channing Cooke & Victor Smalley step forward next. Channing & Victor are the ones in the bottom three.

Mollee Gray & Nathan Trasoras and Kathryn McCormack and Jonathan “Legacy” Perez are the last two couples. Mollee & Nathan are the final couple to join the bottom three. This week, Nigel is surprised by their standing there.

The six people who will be dancing for their lives are: Karen, Kevin, Channing, Victor, Mollee, and Nathan.

The judges are unanimous on both decisions tonight. Mollee proved that she can dance like a woman, and she is safe. Although her technique is good, Channing’s personality is not coming out. Karen, however, is a performer, so Channing has been eliminated.

The guys go next. Nathan learned a lesson in the past week, and he is safe. Victor needs to do more than just pirouette. Kevin’s up against two guys who are really great dancers, though, so he has been eliminated from the competition.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 17, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on Fox.
