Ok, so we’re back for the next episode of Amazing Race! It seems that they are really playing up the deaf guy’s disability and how it isn’t really that big of a problem. I think they are overblowing it a tad. I get it, deaf people are capable of doing things like everyone else. I agree. Anyways, and so they are off to Germany. Lots of teams asking cabbies for their phones. Smart. The hick woman is wearing a full bright neon yellow jumpsuit as a rain jacket. lol. The hubby just remarked she could take it off in the car...though it would be tough taking that behemoth off. So now people are booking through the cell phone...something I haven’t really seen earlier seasons. These people are smart. Looks like Swiss Air is the earlier flight at 7:10. everyone seems to know this. The deaf team gets their tickets. First flight is pretty full. The stuntmen and flight attendants are the only ones on the second flight. Alright, so they are in Munich! They have to drive themselves to a village. And they are on the Autobahn. That thing would be awesome to drive on, with the no limits and whatnot. Ok, so they are getting on this gondola car thing to go to the top of a mountain. The lawyer siblings are the first there. Ok, so the road block is running off a mountain and paraglide to the bottom. These challenges are pretty awesome so far this season. Not for someone with height fears for sure! And cue back to the sisters who are lost in their car in the city. A problem, as the road block is at the mountain. Seems like a big bunch up at the cable car again. So the wind conditions are bad, and they get the option of walking down the mountain. So the girl decides to run down. The next group then arrives. And then the next plane is arriving. So the older lady from the married couple is walking down instead of waiting for the wind. And this starts a bunch of people running. The lost sisters have arrived. The only one left from before is the gay dad. And the stuntmen are there now too. Alright the sisters and stuntment run down as well. So now the dad is only one left. So now the commercial.
We return to the dad freaking out that he won’t get to jump. But then the wind dies down. Hooray for him. So the lawyer siblings just finished and are first. Mel looks a little awkward jumping. The deaf team just finished 2nd. And it appears a lot of people now are finishing. They have to drive to Chenow or something. I have no idea what/where that is. Cue the hick woman walking...she took the wrong pathway. So Mel just landed and they are in 5th. So the lawyers are at the detour. First choice is riding a segway through an obstacle course. The second one is throwing pies at their partner’s face until they find one that is cherry. Hahaa. I love this challenge. The lawyers chose the pie one. It is highly amusing. And very quick. They now need to go to some wood cutters. They do, and then get a clue to go to the pit stop. That was fast. Cue back to the mountain runners. The hick woman is lost and panicking and crying once she gets to a highway instead of to her partner. Awww. Sad times for her. Anyways, commercial time!
And so we are back. The hick woman is getting a drive back to the cable cars. Um, I am pretty sure this is against the rules. So the lawyer siblings are now arriving at the pit stop in Salzburg Austria. They are first and each won a hybrid car?! Did I hear that right? Good leg to win! The second team of the married ones are at the pie challenge. Yes! haha. More pie throwing hilarity. Back to the hick. She didn’t tell the husband she went off course....hmmm....So the gay team is doing the segway challenge. The deaf team is doing the pie, much to the son’s chagrin. The gay team just finished, and the deaf team is still throwing pies. The son wants to switch...um, I wouldn’t start switching now. And so the older couple has arrived. And the sisters have now gotten lost...again. Clearly they are not very good with directions. And so the deaf team are finally done. They are now in 4th. So the gay team just finished in 2nd, the couple came in 3rd. The deaf team is in 4th. The older couple is in 5th. Back to the detour, and stunt people doing the segway and the sisters as well, both done. The flight attendants are doing the pie challenge. Still no clue where the hicks are. Oh wait, there they are! They are doing the pie thing pretty slow. But having fun, which is nice for them. So the flight attendants are holding wood and looking around for where to bring it. The hicks just finished. OOoooO, drama. And now is a good time for a commercial.
And we are back. The stuntmen look to be lost. And so are the sisters. Big shocker. So the hicks and lfight attendants are done the detour. The flight aattendants are asking for directison. The hicks just spotted a sign, and the guy almost tore the wife’s finger off when she pointed. So the sisters just arrived at the pit stop. And then the stuntmen. And so the flight attendants just finished. Which means the hicks are in last. Awww, sad times. They are eliminated from the race. Well, I enjoyed them while they were on. And they are both crying, while they are also drenched in cake. Truly a sad situation to be in. Anyways, that is it folks! Til next episode!

Amazing Race - February 15
Alright, so tonight is the start of the Amazing Race! So they introduce all the teams, going by pretty fast. You got the regular couples and family member mixes. The most interesting new type of team is the deaf son and mother team, and the gay son and gay father team. Anyways, so they finally are off, and going to Switzerland. I enjoy that they get to choose which flight to take based on landing at different airports and taking a train to the next destination - something I don't think has ever been done on the show. It doesn't seem like they all want to get on the earlier flight...Long story short, the earlier flight and train makes it to the destination first.Big surprise there. Then they have to sign up for times, so everyone bunches up again. It seems like a lot of bugs are there, oh, and someone just mentioned it. Anyways, so fastforward to the next task of bungee jumping at the worlds second longest bungee jump! I don't this should be too tough for the stuntmen team, but everyone else I guess it would be tough. No one really has any huge meltdowns though, and every team gets through alright.....
So fast forward again, picking up on the cheese task. It is pretty hilarious. The hill is pretty steep and it seems pretty tough. The things carrying the cheese are so cheapo looking. The deaf guy just fell and it was hilarious. The Swiss gawkers seem to agree. It seems like this task is going to take forever. The father sliding down seems to be a slow method – it is kinda gross, considering they said there was animal crap everywhere. So the deaf team is done first – now time to go to the pit stop! ooo, they have to find yodelers! Exciting. Next, the lawyers are done. And then the stuntmen. Running through the gauntlet of huge cow bells ringing before getting their taxi is very amusing to watch. And it looks like the next train just came in. And now the gay team is done and on the way to the pit stop. The hick team is looking pretty bad. And commercial time.
Back from commercial. And everyone looks pretty slow. And the last team arrives – the flight attendants. And cut to the yodellers! Sadly the mom is the only one who can hear them. It is pretty funny to hear them singing. And looks like the deaf team are the first to arrive. And Phil signs to them that they are first – impressive Phil. And they win a trip to Mexico for it. And the lawyers are there as team 2. Next are the stuntmen who are incredibly short (which I just noticed now...like they are almost midget height!) And cut back to the cheese hill. The couple in red are falling. As are the flight attendants. And everyone else. Amanda and Kris are next done and off to the pitstop. The hicks are done next, kudos to them. The gay team just checked in as team 4. And the sisters send a cheese wheel rolling. The old couple just finished. The flight attendants just realized they are missing a piece of cheese. And the sisters are off to the pit stop. Oh, there is the cheese for the F.A. Alright, the orange couple just finished the leg. And The flight attendants just finished. So it looks like the hicks can’t find the yodellers. The older couple just finished as team 6. Jaime and Cara just came in 7th. lol to the cut scene of the hicks saying they are lost and dumbasses. The sisters just checked in as 8th. Finally the hicks check in as 9. And it is a dash to the finish. Christie and Jodi are tenth, and the orange couple are out. Oh well. They weren’t very memorable anyways.

American Idol - Last Hollywood Day
Alright, so its time for a new episode of American Idol! Fun times. Alright, so after a long intro, they finally are into auditions. Seacrest talking....blah blah blah....and now, Adam Lambert singing Believe by Cher...oh God, what is going to happen with this. I don’t think it went very well, and I don’t believe in love after love anymore. Apparently the judges liked it tho. Next Matt Giraud singing Georgia – I have to admit he is a lot better than the last guy, and he can play the keyboard at the same time. At least he sounds in tone, and my ears aren’t bleeding.
Alright, time to show a holding room of people waiting. Just in case we didn’t know they were stressed out about waiting to hear if they’ve made it through, now we know. Thanks AI. Anyways, flashback again to the solos. It cuts back to Jamar Rogers singing Hey There Delilah. He is pretty good, though I’m not a big fan of his voice personally. Alright now Danny Gokey – and Paula is acting a little spastic and special needs right now while he sings, clearly approving. He is quite good singing I hope you dance, the big note his voice kinda cracked though. Alright, time for a commercial.
And we are back with Anoop Desei (sp?) He is good but doesn’t sound at all like what you would think. The next guy was not memorable. Scott MacIntyre the blind guy is the next up – he sounds a little shouty, but decent. Singing ‘I’m going home’ – way to pick an AI alumni song – always good points there. Way to give him a standing O Paula – he can’t see you idiot!! Alright Kendall Beard is next singing Carrie Underwood – a little shaky. Then it was a nother girl that was not very great. Lil Rounds comes next with a shot of her daughter...there’s a couple of votes there. Kristin McNamara singing Because of You – he sounds like she is a smoker, which is not good for a singing competition. Also, note the popularity of AI songs. Mishavonna (sp?) is next singing “You’re Everything” which was good. oooOoo, Seacrest saying she knows nothing is guaranteed. Thanks for the update. Alright now it pans to a holding room – more people sweating it out. More horrible voice overs by Seacrest. Annnnnnd, commercial.
We are back! Oh God, it is Tatiana Del Toro and a montage of her “interesting” ride here. And she is singing some random song. I really dislike her, but she sounds ok. Well, I take that back – the ending was horrible and sounded like she had a seizure. She thinks she did good though. And now Alexis Grace – a person not seen ever before. Now Kenny Hoffbauer – another unknown. Ooo, someone I know. Jasmine Murray singing Tattoo – I liked her from before, and I liked her performance. They are in the same room as Nathaniel. He is the guy with the pink sunglasses and hairband who freaked out before during the groups. He is singing disturbia with the guitar....not a combo I expected. He is alright, but I don’t think he is through...Anyways, this new girl is forgetting the lyrics. She’s SO out. Now Casey somegirl is singing tattoo and forgetting the lyrics...CUT! Stephen Fowler is next singing and playing the keyboard – he sounds good, but just forgot the lyrics. Not good....And now Seacrest reminding us of Brook last year. He tries singing again, but again forgets. Flashback to the room full of the forgetters. Yea, they are all cut I think. Oooo, judges deciding and they call back Tatiana and get her out of the room she was in. Now is a good time for a break, so commercial!
Ok, we’re back into action. And we are starting with Nick Mitchell who was the one who was dressed up as Norman and joking at first. Singing Georgia as the ridiculous character with the head band and shiny shirt. Not great, not awful, but really don’t think he is getting through on that. Why oh why would he ever pick to sing like a joke? Alright, the judges have decided! And now showing us room 3 and 4. OOOoooOOo, now Anne Marie Bork-something singing I hope you dance, which has been sung a million times already apparently. It was not memorable. Next up is Ju-no Joyner singing Hey there Delilah. Um, is that his real name? It doesn’t sound like an actual one, ju know? :P ok, bad joke. He sounds good enough. He is in room 3. And room 4 just got Tatiana, and now they are all freaked out. Can you blame them? She is a wacko and I wouldn’t want to be grouped with her. Commercial break...that was short...
And back again. More shots of the rooms all worrying. Flashback to Kalan Lloyd singing If I aint got you. Simon ended the song...and she tried to sing the ending anyways. Idiottttt. Ok, now the sad backstory of Leneshe Young. She is singing Love Song. She was not amazing. Kai Kalama is next singing some weird song and cracking all over the place. He ain’t going through. He is in the same room as the oil rigger, Michael. Aww, he’s saying AI can make a difference to his family. No kidding, really? I didn’t think it mattered to anyone other than you. Thanks for telling us. Singing nothing at all, it was meh. Alright, Seacrest saying the judges have made final decisions. Haven’t they said this before? Gah! Alright, Simon is flying to London so Paula and Randy and the new girl have to tell the rooms. Room 2 has the weirdo drama Nathaniel guy talking, and the room is full of some of the forgetters. I’m guessing they are cut. Paula talking....and what?! They are through?! Well, that was unexpected. Next is room 3 showing people who can hear room 2 celebrating. They look worried...as they should be. This room has India in it. Blah performance. Ok, saying they are cut again. The room has a lot of people who we never saw back stories on. And they didn’t make it....not surprised. And commercial time!
And we are back for one last segment of the night. Room 1 has been waiting the longest we’re told. Ooo, decision time. Paula is wearing this ginormous pendant or something. It looks like she bought bulk from a steel mill. Randy talking about how it is hard for them....and then he pulls a predictable 180 and they are through! It includes the blind guy and Anoop and the guys that were best friends. Oooo, room 4 has deduced that two screaming rooms means they are cut...I am inclined to agree, but I’m not sure. Alright, judges talking loser talk. This means they will probably get through. And Tatiana is freaking out. Some guy bluntly asks if it is a no. Good idea, they were going on foreverrrrrr. And they tell him they are actually through. Room erupts in happiness. Alright, now a montage of Hollywood week. Precious. not. Eugh, I can’t believe Tatiana got through. Alright, this ends the episode and my posting for this week. See ya tomorrow! :)
