The teams travel to Beijing, China and had to make their way to Liangzi Foot Message Place. During the way there, Kisha/Jen and Margie/Luke keep mentioning they are over their fight from the pervious leg. So, all of the teams make their way to the foot message place, with Cara/Jaime there first, and one of them choosing to do the roadblock, which was a very painful foot message that they had to deal with for ten minutes. Kisha/Jen arrived, next, and easily, Kisha chose the detour. The two ladies each struggled with the pain they were going through. Finally, Tammy/Victor arrive, and Tammy does the roadblock, becoming the next victim of the pain. Next, Margie/Luke arrive, and Luke decided to do the roadblock.
Finally, all four of the roadblock doers all survived the pain, and Cara/Jaime lead the pack as they still struggle with some language barriers and culture shock. Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke each follow, and make their way to Guangcui Natatorium, where their next clue in. Finally, Jaime/Cara, Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor, and Margie/Luke each received the detour, sync, or swim. In sync, teams had to dive in a pool, and in swim, swim 800 meters (400 a piece) in order to receive ac clue. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke chose to swim, and Kisha/Jen and Tammy/Victor chose to sync. Tammy/Victor struggled a lot with the detour, and Jen’s fear of swimming left her afraid and in tears, in most of the episode. She even wanted to go home.
Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke finished the detour easily, and in under ten minutes, and easily moved on to the pit stop, the Drum Tower. Jen still struggled to deal with her swimming fear, and Kisha was very supportive of her. Meanwhile, Tammy/Victor were still working on the detour, and Jaime/Cara were screaming at taxi drivers, saying “they all look alike!!!!!”. Finally, Tammy/Victor got the diving detour correct, and were able to finish. Next, Kisha/Jen struggled in the swim detour, but finally managed to make it through. Jaime/Cara arrive to the Drum Tower first, but, Phil tells them this was not the pit stop, and handed them their next clue.
This Amazing Race leg, along with this blog, is to be continued. . . . .

Survivor - Debbie Immuned, Tyson voted off
So, the survivors return from camp, and surprise, Sierra is crying over Brendan being voted off. Tyson had the nerve to rub it in her face. Sierra looks hopeless, as if it’s confirmed that Sierra leaves next. Everyone is almost ready to vote her off. The next day, Sierra cries to Tyson, saying she wasn’t a mastermind, and Tyson rudely agreed, saying she isn’t smart enough to be a mastermind. In the reward challenge, they all teamed up and had to arrange boards to see through a spelling of vowels, and then solve a puzzle. It was Debbie, Erinn, Tyson, and JT? Who won.
So, during the reward, the survivors enjoyed watching natives dance, and enjoyed eating. Then, they all threw up their meals after they were called to dancing. Later back at camp, Sierra cries to Debbie, saying “Oh, it’s not my fault I made a mistake” and she tries to exclude Erinn from her conversation. Then, Sierra cries to Coach, asking, if not, begging, for a second chance. In the immunity challenge, the survivors had a choice: play the immunity challenge or eat pizza. Ironically, three guys, Stephan, JT, and Coach, most surprised about JT and especially Coach for sitting out. During the challenge, Tyson played smart, but was taken down by Sierra, who was-at the last moment- taken down by Debbie, giving immunity to Debbie.
At tribal council, Tyson, Coach, and Debbie, along with even Sierra are sure that Sierra will be the next to go. Then, Stephan attempts to save the day, and mentions getting rid of Tyson, since he doesn’t have immunity on him, and may never get the chance to take him down. So, at tribal council, Tyson picks on Sierra, like a big brother does to a little sister. So, it’s three votes for Sierra, and one for Tyson, after the first four votes were read. Then, the last four votes shockingly went to Tyson, and he was voted off, crushing Coach’s oh-so-fabulous, grade A, super alliance or warriors. (That’s sarcasm)
That was the best blindside in Survivor’s history, period. OK, Tyson was becoming too cocky, too good for his shorts, and I’m glad Karma bit his head off hardcore. That was just a funny as Corinne losing to Sugar last season. And hopefully, Coach will be soon, maybe next, at best. Erinn, well, I’d never though I’d say this, but now, I’m sure she’s in a very good position, she’s not an idol threat, and everyone probably needs her vote in order to make a majority. JT may have recruited himself as the powerful alliance leader, but Timbira still has four to their three, so if Coach and Sierra teamed up, shockingly, JT could be a threat to go.
Timbira may perhaps be the worst tribe ever, considering they are all worried about getting rid of their own tribe members, JT, Taj, and Stephan could easily slide to the final four, with Erinn on their side, hopefully. Erinn, who was the one I thought would be boring and invisible, may be all over the show next week, considering she and Sierra have to choose to stick with Timbira or Jalapao. Also, props to Stephan for saving the day, and voting for Tyson’ cocky butt, and props for Taj and JT for letting that happen.

TAR14 - Kisha/Jen in first, Mark/Michael eliminated
The teams leave Thailand and are headed for Guilin, China. This made Tammy/Victor happy, as they were given the chance to speak Mandarin Chinese. Four of the teams-Kisha/Jen, Margie/Luke, Tammy/Victor, and Jaime/Cara have met up at the first leaving flight, putting Mark/Michael even further back in last. Then, teams had to make their way to a local beauty salon. Jaime/Cara arrived first, telling them to go to the #24 Bridge at the Li River, where teams had to receive their next clue. At the beauty salon, Luke shoved Jen, and Jen called Luke the B-Word. So, the leading teams all made their way out to the Li River. While trying to get their clue again, Luke shoved Jen, again!
Luke/Margie and Kisha/Jen spend some time stating their own side of the story. However, in the roadblock, the teams had to basically train birds to go fishing fort them. Jaime, Tammy, and Luke completed the roadblock, and I’m not sure if it was Kisha or Jen completed this roadblock. Jaime finished the roadblock first, and her and Cara moved on to the Ancient South Gate. Kisha/Jen then finished, and they moved on. So, then, soon, Tammy/Victor and Margie/Luke moved on too. Meanwhile, Mark/Michael are completing a speed bump, by washing the hair of two ladies in order to move back on to racing.
At the Ancient South Gate, the four teams ahead raced to there, and chose a detour: Choreography, or do a traditional dance, or calligraphy, write Chinese letters. Cara/Jaime chose to dance, and Tammy/Victor, Kisha/Jen, and Margie/Luke chose calligraphy. Tammy/Victor lead Margie/Luke across the detour, and they obviously decided to follow them. Finally, the three of those teams finished, and it was a three-way footrace to the finish line. Kisha/Jen were rewarded first, wining a trip for two to Barbados, Tammy/Victor were given second place, and Margie/Luke were given third place. Then, Kisha/Jen and Margie/Luke lead to a confrontation, as they accuse each other of what happened earlier.
Michael decided to complete the roadblock, however, it’s too late. Jaime/Cara-who struggled with t the choreography, and yet again, had another frustration with a language barrier, were given fourth place. Mark/Michael were in last place, and were eliminated. Next, we’ll see the four teams make their way across Beijing, where this time, I’m sure it’ll be Tammy and Victor who will dominate, and take the race out of the others’ hands.
This leg was exciting, only for the one part, seeing Jen take on Luke, who probably thinks he should get his side taken because he’d deaf, or whatever. However, I personally take Kisha/Jen’s side of the story, as we did see her get shoved right into the clue box. If you didn’t see that, than you missed the proof, and now I’m telling you. It was Luke’s fault. I hope to see Margie/Luke in last-hopefully, many hours behind. It was pretty obvious that Mark/Michael would be eliminated, especially when you saw the other four teams get so very far ahead. This race should have a nice finish, however, I’m almost confident it’ll be Margie/Luke who get karma, and get eliminated, in fourth, as a good team, like other fourth place teams have gotten.

Survivor - Tyson Immuned, Brendan voted off
The episode began with the most stupidest Survivor ever, Coach memorizing a monologue about the stupidest attempt of a story ever. He basically claims he was in the Amazon, by Peru, getting stalked by indigenous tribesmen, and then getting clobbered, stabbed, and attacked by them. He claims only three people know this story, but what about the press, that would’ve jumped all over that if it did happen. Peru may be a part of the Amazon, but seriously, if he really did get attacked by any tribesman, he either a) was harassing them or b) on their property. And how the flying heck is someone beaten to death going to have the energy to row away from them, especially if they were tied up. I hope he never told any kid this, that would be blasphemous.
Anyways, the survivors had a reward challenge where they throw balls at other teams crates! It was Debbie, JT, and Brendan who won, winning a white-water rafting trip along with some food. Coach managed to be upset he didn’t win, as if his story wasn’t enough adventure for him, and along with the other seven or eight “life-or-death” situations he says he’s had. Grow up, Coach. So, Stephan was exiled. At Exile Island, Stephen established a life goal: to make fire. Yippee. But seriously, if Janu could do that, so could anyone. At the reward, Debbie was ignored, as all we saw from her was “Look at those brownies!”. Then, Brendan says he wants to work with JT, and take him to the final two. He says by having JT in the final two, he’d lose, but consider himself a winner anyways.
Back at camp, when they return, the epic battle begins: Brendan rallies up Taj, JT, and Sierra, asking them to vote for Coach. Then, JT and Taj look like they are on board with it, and it would’ve given them 100% control of the tribe. At the immunity challenge, the survivors had to make their way along a rope and ladder course. It was between Brendan, Tyson, and JT at the end. However, Tyson won. Back at camp, on I believe Day 24, it was sure Erinn, Debbie, Coach, and Tyson were on board with splitting the vote between Sierra and Brendan. Brendan and Sierra were sure they were going to get Taj, JT, and Stephan to vote for Coach. At tribal council, it was a 2-3-4 vote, with Brendan voted off, becoming the first member of the jury.
This episode gave up my hopes, and probably the hopes of the people. But you know what they say, Failure is a blessing in disguise! This means Brendan failed to get Coach out, but the blessing is Coach being blindsided by an alliance Arranged by Sierra. I’m really optimistic on this, It’s not really true yet, and yes, It’d be so sweet to see Sierra win over Jalapao and Erinn. Erinn is probably in a very good position, OK, she could flip on Tyson/Coach/Debbie because she doesn’t like them. Out of the eight remaining Survivors, only Erinn and Sierra are worthy of being there. JT needs to open his eyes, or the only money he’ll see is that pointless $100,000 rewarded to the pity vote given out at the reunion.

TAR - Margie/Luke in first, Mark/Michael in last
Sorry for the late delay, I was away from home on Sunday night. So, the teams leave Phuket and head to Bangkok, Thailand where they must make their way to a Boat Yard. In the roadblock, the teams had to fix a propeller on a boat that would take them to their next destination. Margie, Luke, Victor, Kisha, and Mark worked on the roadblock. Margie finished first, and her and Luke moved along. Jaime/Cara, Kisha/Jen, and Mark/Michael all finish next, and move on, however, Kisha/Jen left their bags at the dock, and decided not to get them right away. Then, Mark/Michael discovered they were missing their stuff too, and actually decided to go back.
Finally, Victor becomes the last to finish, but since Mark/Michael go back for their stuff, Tammy/Victor catch up. In the detour, teams had to choose between broken teeth by fixing peoples’ dentures or broken record, sing in a taxi with a bunch of cross dressers. Margie/Luke chose Teeth, while the other teams chose to sing in a taxi. Margie/Luke excelled, as they took the faster detour, and finished. They arrived to the pit stop to discover, they are team number one, winning a Puerto Rican trip. Finally, Jaime/Cara arrive, and are team number two.
Meanwhile, Mark/Michael seem to have ran out of money, and decided to give their possessions to the driver in exchange of rides. Then, Kisha/Jen and Tammy/Victor arrive to the pit stop. However, Kisha/Jen couldn’t check in until they get their legal documents (passports) from the boat yard, which meant Tammy/Victor were team number three.
It was now between Marl/Michael and Kisha/Jen, and sure enough, Mark/Michael arrived. However, due to breaking the law of TAR by bargaining taxi rides, twice, they received a four hour penalty. This allowed Kisha/Jen to check in as team number four. Not even an hour into the penalty, Phil checked Mark/Michael in, and told them they were in last place. However, Mark/Michael were spared, and would receive a speed bump for the next leg. Watch next week as we see Luke immorally attack Kisha/Jen physically, by (nearly) assaulting them, and then verbally, by calling one of them the B-word.
This leg was the worst, of this season so far. I am probably not really regretting the fact I slept through, like, half of it. I really hope these producers regret making us watch cross dressers in taxi, with karaoke, and have them put dentures in people’s mouths. Fixing a propeller wasn’t that bad, considering that can require some skill. Anyways, I really like all of the teams now, but judging from the previews of next week, I’m not so sure about Margie/Luke. Mark/Michael really remind me of last season’s Dan/Andrew, being so unlucky with all their choices and mistakes. Tammy/Victor are still my pick as number one, and believe it or not, my pre-shoe pick for final three (Mark/Michael, Kisha/Jen, Tammy/Victor) is still active! So, why not, see them in the final three? If that happened, best believe would smoke that final leg, and that what I want to see.
Finally, Victor becomes the last to finish, but since Mark/Michael go back for their stuff, Tammy/Victor catch up.

Survivor - Tribes Merged, Joe evacuated
The survivors are all talking about the possibility of an upcoming merge. Finally, all of them are given tree mail to be transported to a destination. It’s revealed that this destination, is a place loaded with a banquet of food. The tribes have officially merged into one tribe, and they get to enjoy a nice feast. The survivors talk about what to name their tribe, first they come up with something that sounded perverted, then change it to the Portuguese word for Strength, Farzo.
Immediately, Coach and Tyson form a pack with J.T., Stephen, and Debbie to get Brendan out, as Tyson calls him a sneaky bastard several times across the whole hour. During the show, Joe had an infection in his leg. Meanwhile, Brendan decides to lay low on the cross tribal alliance, saying it’s a “maybe” after Joe or J.T. go home. Coach and Tyson are so confident that it’s the two of them in control of the game that they annoy probably every single viewer to the point where if Survivor had a crowd outside tribal council (Like BBUK has, outside it‘s house), they would be screaming “Get Coach Out”, “Get Coach Out”. Honestly, Erinn saying she may “like” Coach, made me want to remind her of him being Survivor’s biggest joke.
Anyways, it became time for the immunity challenge. The Survivors had to outlast each other on a pole for as long as possible. At the end, probably at the twenty minute mark, it was between Debbie, Sierra, Tyson, and Coach, and surprise, Coach just had to mention they were all from Timbira. Coach fell, nut his fall looked like a “I’m so confident I don’t need immunity” type of fall. Lastly, it was between Debbie and Tyson, and literally, it was the first (and only) time I’d ever say “Go Debbie!”. However, Tyson won. Then, Joe was left behind for medical help.
Back at Camp, Brendan and Sierra are told it’s J.T. who is getting voted off. However, Coach and Tyson ramble around camp, convincing everyone it’s Brendan who goes. Then, there’s a plan b: throw some votes over to Sierra just incase Brendan plays his Hidden Immunity Idol. However, everything stopped when Jeff Probst (the presenter) arrived to camp, announcing Joe has been medically evacuated, and there would be no tribal council. The episode ends with Joe leaving via helicopter. Nine remain, who will be there to see the best blindside ever (or the most pitiful one, if Coach somehow survived)
This episode featured the most annoyance ever in Survivor. If Survivor had no winner, that’d be better than Coach winning. Since Brendan is the threat Tyson makes him out to be, we’ll see how having the idol will earn him the extra allies he needs. If Cross tribal allies all manage to want to stick together, this will leave Erinn, JT, and Debbie as possible swing votes. However, it’s obvious that Debbie would be the last to turn on her precious Tyson. Coach is probably more of a villain than Randy, and maybe as loathed as Jonny Fairplay.
Joe leaving was pretty much a disappointment, however, it does give Erinn, JT, Stephan, Taj, and Debbie another three days to realize Coach is a huge threat, and the biggest joke on Survivor. Anyways, I want to hear more Coach bashing. Brendan will be my favourite Survivor over passing Cirie, ever if he convinces these people to vote off Coach. Erinn, well, isn’t what she promised before, and well, meh, we’ll see. I can’t wait to see this big Coach/Tyson vs. Sierra/Brendan battle next week, but knowing CBS, it’ll be so indescribable. Just the thought of Stephan, Debbie, and JT even wanting to believe Coach will immediately exclude them from any top 5 list I make.
Top 5:
1. Erinn (7) (tie, only because Brendan is just as anti-Coach)
1. Brendan (6) Anti-Coach pride!
3. Taj (2) Good player, can’t wait to see her off the coach wagon)
4. Joe (3) Too bad he was the most useless player)
5. Sierra (2) (only there, literally because she’s Anti-Coach)

Survivor - Timbira Immuned, Sydney voted off
So, on Day 16, this episode of Survivor started off with Taj wanting to tell Stephan that she wants to tell J.T. about the idol. Stephan isn’t sure they would benefit from that. Meanwhile, at the Timbira, Coach has “one of his moments” where he poorly cooked the beans in rainy water and from river water. Sierra was most frustrated with him, and is sure she’s fed up with him. In the reward challenge, the tribes had to build a barricade to avoid the other tribe from throwing pigs. Timbira and Jalapao both went back and forth taking the lead, and it was Timbira who won. It was Joe and Erinn who were exiled.
At the reward, Coach, Sierra, Tyson, Debra, and Brendan all enjoy a nice barbecue. Then, they all go for a swim by a waterfall. Meanwhile, back at Jalapao, Taj is busy making a fake idol that Joe could possibly play. Then, J.T. finds the hidden idol idea, the real one that Taj has. So, Stephen and Taj tell J.T. they found it, and the three of them agree to work together in the near future. Then, at exile, Erinn gets the clues with the hidden idol, and decided to spill them to Joe. In the immunity challenge the survivors had to release sand by sling shooting tiles, then release puzzle pieces and solve the puzzle. J.T. and Tyson did all the work for the sling shooting. It was Tyson who pulled off the challenge, and Brendan and Erinn aced at the puzzle, earning immunity for Timbira again.
J.T, Taj, Sydney, Joe, and Stephan are all upset they lost immunity again, and will go down two members. Sydney and Joe are tight, and they agree to vote off Taj. Then, Joe searches for the idol, and finds the fake idol. Then, J.T. is at first sure it’s Sydney’s time to go, but then he thinks of getting the idol to be split between him and Stephan. At tribal council, it was two votes for Taj and tow votes for Sydney. The fifth vote went to Sydney, and she was voted off.
This episode was OK, as this season is so far going down as an OK season, so far. What I would expect is to see either Cross-Tribal allies or the Timbira tribe dominating the rest of the game. However, I really don’t think people like Brendan and Erinn want to see Coach around. I would say Joe is the most screwed, considering he lost Sydney as an ally and is in the minority tribe. His best shot is to get Erinn on his side. As for The CTA (Cross Tribal Allies), it would be beneficial to start working out their options. Anyways, it looks like Brendan and Sierra are in the best situation, considering they could go either way.
I personally would like to see Erinn squeeze in somewhere, just because I want to see her get Coach out. Heck, if Debra blindsides Coach, I’d be happy. Taj is really impressive, and is emerging as one of the most remembered survivors. I really admire her game play, even though it’s took some weeks. However, I don’t get all of the Sierra love, though. I will give Stephan some credit, too, considering he’s Taj’s ally. J.T. loses respect for me, and I’m really not caring for his game play too much.
