5/1 Survivor and Amazing Race

2 years ago

Survivor has been fun, very unpredictable. Can you rate your favorites yet? Charlie and Maria seem to be in charge, but who knows? And did Kenzie really throw Tiffany's name out there?

As for Amazing Race, I hope they get to see more of the world than South America, which is getting boring.

I’m sure they were coached since Applebee’s is a sponsor, although they all look like they’d eat out of the garbage pail by this time. What the heck were those blue drinks?

Does anyone think that if Frannie hadn't won the reward challenge she may not have been voted off last week? I think I missed something last night. Why did the four non Tika members split their votes instead of all voting for Carson? I'm glad Carolyn used her idol on Carson, but unfortunately it was unnecessary. Now it looks like she's the target next week. I hope she finds another idol, doesn't tell anyone, then plays it. Also, again, I may be missing something, but why wouldn't Tika stay together next week to keep the majority? Carolyn doesn't win challenges so not a physical threat. Or did she win a challenge? Anyway, if she goes, the other three girls can band together to take out Yam Yam or Carson. I didn't quite understand why Yam Yam said they were the majority this week when the other four could have voted together to become the majority. I don't think I'm paying enough attention when watching the show. I do like the idea of a 90 minute show. I'd like to see more reward challenges or the food auction again. Although I'm sure having two challenges per show would be very taxing on the players. Is Amazing Race only on once a year? My daughter and her husband wanted to try out for AR, they are travel bloggers so would have loved it, but he's Australian. I would love Tika to be the final three on Survivor!

I think you can get other seasons on various streaming services that I don't have. But Netflix will have a couple of seasons at any time, which is enough for me. About Pearl Islands, Sandra got a lot of haters later on (she won twice) but she's a darned good player. And Pearl Islands had the BEST challenges, the pirate-themed ones, like firing muskets and making the loved one walk the plank. That's an outstanding season. And yes, Rupert!

Schoolhouse, I was just coming here to say the same thing. It’s early, but man, TAR is boring me so far for the first time ever. Survivor is, too. I don’t really like or dislike anyone, or care which teams win anything. Maybe it’s just the monotony of the same location, same challenges, same three teams and one is always weak, too many ways to have immunity (or not), etc. I wish they’d mix it up and go back to two larger teams and somewhere besides Fiji. It used to be rough and rugged, now it’s like they’re at a resort playing games. From what I’ve read, it’s Fiji now due to tax breaks and liability. They’ve had some people in dangerous situations in the past and don’t want that to happen again. But it feels like Disney Survivor. :D I loved last season. It felt more like the old days to me for some reason. The contestants were interesting and a great mix of personalities.

Ok, I just have to ask -- do people really love Applebee's that much? I understand they're hungry, but they all sounded over the top about the place.

Angie and Danny - didn't really expect that, but they sure ran a good race.

Yes, Jeopardy Masters, the Cleveland Guardians game, Amazing Race - ugh.

Here's the Survivor recap. I'm glad that this season is not overrun with idols and advantages, but I'd love to see an idol in the game now that the first three are gone. As for Liz and Applebee's, well, she can have it, far as I care.

AR....That's NOT fair. The camera crew fell behind, so THEY were penalized....WTH I'm not only surprised....but...that's a rule?

Survivor: Well....another blindside! But...I liked it. A strong competitor.

We've never eaten @ Applebees, but....I worked with a woman who ordered take out from them. She loved it!

I never knew that losing your camera crew was penalizing either. In fact, I never gave the camera crew much thought until last night. Now it makes sense that each team would have their personal crew. ha

It happened at the round-about. Angie and Danny took a left turn at the last minute while the crew took a right. Apparently it's not a matter of them just following a team, the directions are shared the entire time?
