5/8 Survivor and Amazing Race

last year

Looks like there will be a new hidden Idol on the island in tonight's episode. I sure hope someone uses it! I was just thinking that Q can win as long as Liz and Venus go to the end with him. What do you think?

And Amazing Race finale is next week. Sure went by fast! The two guys who have 5 (more?) first place wins so far are the favorites, but if it's close, then it's anyone's game. They'll end in Philadelphia.

For survivor fans, you can get a couple of seasons on Netflix. I'm watching Season 7, Pearl Islands. One of the best seasons ever. Pirate themed, with Sandra, Rupert, and Johnny Fairplay.

So dumb, Venus! When its this close to the end and you know your name has been put out there, you use your idol!

My dislike for Maria keeps growing. Why wouldnt she feed Liz? And why didnt everyone give their licorice to Liz before she passes out from hunger?

I guess Im rootimg for Charlie but I have sneaking feeling Kenzie will win. I hope not.

I never saw season 7. Can't remember what season I started watching.

I sure hope Q is sent packing. Tonight would be great!

Well, i sure hope no one finds the idol, doesn't use it and gets voted off.

Id liketo see Maria go. Something about her rubs me the wrong way. Same with Kenzie. And Q.

I dont usually watch TAR but will definitely be watching for Philly next week. I wondll have to run through the Reading Terminal Market. That would be something to see.

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 don’t ever watch Survivor, but was happy to see AR back to the format of using ’regular’ people and not celebrities as participants. I think the reason it seems to drag for the first coiple of episodes is the continual introduction of the contestants. they seem more focused on you knowing their backgrounds than what is happening.

There was a documentary on the new dig at Pompeii on PBS at 10pm., so I only watched a half hour of TAR. However, I was able to switch over to TAR just as Cesar and Ricky ran up to the mat. ha I think I saw Amber and Vinnie already at the final amongst the other past contestants. How did that happen? I must have missed them being eliminated at some point - last week?

The jury looked angry. Venus was "dumb"! The strategy every week leaves Liz crying. (I want to give her a hug) It's hard to watch....I can't wait for it to be OVER. May 22 and the misery will stop.

Last night's TAR episode was sort of boring. I was tired and nearly went to bed at 10pm. but curiosity got the best of me so I had to stay up to see who didn't make it.

I'd hate to see Maria or Q at the end. They both need to go.

Just finished watching it. I LOVED Rupert! Wish Netflix would carry more seasons from the early years.

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!

All seasons are on Paramount+. You can get a week's free trial and then it's $5.99/month. I think I may try that for a month.
