All ye “Revenge” fans, guess who is back on TV….Emily Throne! 👌👌👌

New season new priorities! The season opens with Emily trying so hard to retrieve the memories of her mother without the help of Takeda. Remember him? Her Japanese Kung fu trainer who is apparently responsible for Amanda’s return to Jack’s life..but is also trying to stop her from finding the hidden memories. I’m very curious to know exactly what he is trying to avoid.

How could I forget the very pregnant Amanda? Who still wants Jack all to herself and hopes it stays that way. Jack is definitely not so thrilled about becoming a father especially while struggling to make ends meet. We shall see how that plays out and what exactly happened between Amanda and Takeda.

The Graysons’ seem to be doing well with the death of Victoria Grayson, especially our dear Charlotte. Charlotte has been receiving treatment for her addiction and was almost declared a cured patient until her father’s plan was successful on the Memorial Day for her beloved mother. She panicked in front if everyone yelling at Conrad that he planned her failed drug test and that he also planned her mother’s plane crash. Right before Charlotte was dragged away to her confinement she whispered to Emily that her mother, Victoria Grayson is very much alive…Shocker!!!

 
Why is Conrad doing this? He wants the court to give him full access to Charlotte’s inheritance and hopes Daniel will also invest in the family business…can’t stand him right now, ugh! 😤😡

 
“The white haired man” is back working with Victoria Grayson and their mission is to take out Emily Thorne, why? Because she knows Victoria is alive…hmm, me thinks this season is about to be hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!

“Revenge” airs Sundays at 9/8c on ABC.

In the fifth season opener, we see a much different -haired- Walt. He is celebrating his 52nd birthday alone in a Denny’s diner. The meth lord pops some pills before he leaves his unfinished breakfast in a car loaded with a rifle and some ammo.

We return back to Walt’s “I won” moment. Walt enjoys a victory drink as his family returns home from Hank’s house. Of course, Walt Jr. gushes about Gus’ death to his father, saying Hank is going to be a hero because he has investigated Gus secretly. Walt in his “I don’t care” attitude goes to his bedroom where his wife and daughter are to receive some kind of praise. When Skyler doesn’t acknowledge Heisenberg, Walt’s alter ego heroic action. Walt questions her and she replies that she is relived but also scared of Walt.

Before his family got home, Walt cleaned his home of chemistry paraphernalia. He disposed the Lily of the Valley plant (Saul helped Walt sicken Brock, Jesse’s girlfriend’s son) in his car along with the mess he made. But later on, He realized he forgot to take care of the surveillance tapes at the superlab. The partners, Jesse and Walt run into an angry Mike as he was barreling down a sandy road. Mike, mad about Gus’ death pulls his gun on Walt; the partners then inform Mike about their bigger problem. The video tapes.

After realizing the tapes were kept on Gus’ laptop. Mike reluctantly decides to aid Jesse and Walt get rid of the tapes. Posing as a postal inspector, Mike learns the tapes are kept in the police evidence room. The trio use a magnet powered rental truck bought from a junkyard to (hopefully) destroy Gus’ laptop, an idea suggested by Jesse, might add. As they were driving away, Mike asks Walt why he thinks they are safe, Walt replies in cold tone “because I say so.” The action committed to save their ass might have just given the police more evidence. Cayman Island accounts , anyone?

Ted, Skyler’s ex boyfriend/boss who was badly beaten up last season ended up in a hospital. The inquired fella tells Skyler he wont breathe a word of the incident to anyone, saying he told everyone he was in an accident. In this moment we realize, along with Skyler that she has become a dangerous and terrifying person to her friends.

The episode ends with a smug Walt telling a terrified Skyler, in the same cold and menacing manner he threatened Saul that he forgives her.

What a season opener! What do you think?

Quotes:

“You know how they say it’s been a pleasure? It hasn’t.” – Mike to Walt.

“What about a magnet?” – Jesse

‘”Because I say so.” – Walt

“I forgive you.” – Walt

‘Revenge’: Reckoning, Season Finale Recap.

Well well well…how about that season finale? I was worried it was going to end like a series finale at some point, like what is the next season going to be about??? The creators of “Revenge” did not disappoint me. Let’s talk about the highlights of this finale.

Highlights

Emily sought out to avenge her father’s death by killing the white-haired man who killed her father, but she spared his life to “honor” her father. She showed compassion! That was the first time she ever did to the bad people. That was a mistake because he knows her identity and her relation to the Graysons. I hope she will handle it with ease if she needs to.

Daniel and Emily broke up because they both felt like they have “changed”. They called off the engagement after Daniel confronted her about the kiss she shared with Jack.This was one of the scenes that made me happy :) . I really did not want them together, the break up made her execute her plans easier. It seems like Daniel will be hooking up with Ashley. Who saw that coming? I did.

Victoria Grayson convinced Lydia to accompany her to give testimonies to which will exonerate David Clarke. Daniel asked her not to board the plane to Washington, she refused because she recently found out that David Clarke did not die a natural death in prison, Conrad killed him. :O

Nolan is alive!!! Yay!! :D Thanks to Emily for saving him. At least Emily still has someone in her corner. When he asked  her what she was going to do. She said she will tell Jack everything. She loves Jack!

Just when we thought everything was going smoothly, the truth will be revealed, Victoria was going to testify with Lydia on the SEC jet with all the evidence to prove David Clarke’s innocence…terrible things happen! It was announced that the plane caught on fire shortly after it took off. Guess who else we saw before it took off? The white-haired man! It was said that there were no survivors. VICTORIA GRAYSON DEAD!

Charlotte collapsed after her pill over dose. Amanda shows up with a baby in the bun when Emily was about to claim her love. Hey, guess what else! Emily’s mother is alive!

Now that’s how to end a season! Let the suspense begin!

Is Victoria Grayson really dead??

What is going to happen to Charlotte?

Is Jack the father of Amanda’s baby??

Everyone’s calling the love triangle between Emily, Daniel, Ashley and Jack the “quadrangle”. Season 2 needs to hurry!!

‘Revenge’: “Absolution,” Episode 19 recap.

In the previous episode, Emily found out that Victoria Grayson was not the mastermind behind the death of her father. It was all Conrad Grayson’s doing.
This episode begins with Charlotte who was not aware that she showed Emily a picture of their dad (obviously, only Emily knows this) writing in a journal on the day he died, she was helping Emily figure out that her father kept another journal while he was in jail.
Apparently, Nolan did not give her ALL of her father’s possessions. When she got her hands on the journal, she came across a certain initial of someone who was supposed to bail him out of jail with the proof of his innocence the day after he died. As usual, Emily went digging for the identity of this person. At first, she was supposedly dead. Later, she found out that this person was alive and, well with a different name.

Emily visited this Lady, Carol Miller..wait for it… who was Conrad Grayson’s personal secretary and Nolan’s aunt. Nolan explained that she introduced him to David Clarke and all three of them worked to gather to exonerate him. By the time Nolan arrived with proof of David Clarke’s innocence, he had already been killed. That was the reason he faked her (Carol Miller) death to protect her from Conrad.

Meanwhile, Victoria was plotting the downfall of Conrad and his empire (Grayson Global). She met with an agent from the SEC about the flight 197 and the terrorist attack in exchange for immunity…don’t underestimate the women of the Hamptons. Also, Charlotte was suspended from school because Declan Porter snitched told school authorities about her addiction to pills. He said he was trying to help her.

All of Daniel’s charges were dropped but the Hampton residents were not too happy about that. The night he was released, Jack paid Daniel a visit and told him he was at the scene on the beach when Tyler died and the blood stained sweat shirt that was planted as evidence belonged to him. O_o WOW! What could make Jack tell Daniel this piece of information? *sniff sniff* I smell trouble in Jack’s future.

Since Daniel wanted answers, Conrad gave them. He told him everything about how and why he killed David Clarke and everything in between. You would think Daniel Grayson would want to change this and that about their family after his father spilled but nooooooooooooooooooooo. He decided to keep his father’s secrets by being on his side…again…why am I not surprised? Someone’s gotta keep doing the dirty work while the SEC investigates the other. That gene says it all.

Our dear Emily was not too happy about that so she decided to marry Daniel Grayson, find who killed her father and avenge his death!

Soooo… Sneaky Conrad bought a Lexus for Ashley which was an offer to work for him at his company after she got fired. We shall see all the damage she’s capable of.


Victoria took Charlotte to her father’s grave site & they noticed the rose that Emily left there in the beginning of the episode! We shall find out what this means.

“Revenge” Wednesday, April 18 on ABC at 9 p.m. CST.

 

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Season 8 Ep 21-22.

The Ultimate Question: Who failed the boards?

GREY'S ANATOMY - "Moment of Truth" - After eight years of practice, the residents head to San Francisco for their oral boards; sparks fly between Catherine and Richard when they bump into each other at the hotel; Bailey intervenes after Owen and Teddy get into a heated argument about their young car crash patient; and Mark tries to recruit Lexie for one of his cases. Meanwhile, Alex feels guilty for being away from the hospital when Tommy's health begins to fail, on Grey's Anatomy, THURSDAY, APRIL 26 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/RICHARD CARTWRIGHT)SARAH DREW, JESSE WILLIAMS

I don’t even know if this counts as a recap, but can I just say how much I loved this episode?! It’s my favorite episode this season. It keeps getting better! I didn’t write a recap last week, because it wouldn’t have done the episode justice.

The drama with the Boards exam continued and it was so intense; Meredith was sick, Kepner got into a fight and she liked it, Karev’s mind was in Seattle, Avery broke his lucky pencil. LoL! Just when you think the interview is going well, someone snaps, mostly the interviewee. At the beginning of this episode, it was so hard to determine who will pass the Boards.

Alex left for Seattle before the boards started because he couldn’t stop thinking about his patient (Intern’s baby). On getting to Seattle, there wasn’t much to do and the baby died. Robbins convinced him to go back for his boards, he was already late and the traffic didn’t help either, so he had to run to the venue which was 20 blocks away from the traffic jam. He arrived at the venue after the first session ended, but according to the rules, you can pass the boards if you get a perfect score in two out of three sessions. He was prepared to give it his best, but the interviewers seemed like they couldn’t get past the fact that he was late and they had been waiting for him all morning.

Meredith’s stomach flu wasn’t helping either, she vomitted several times and she almost quit the interview. She called Derek and said “Will you still love me if I fail?” As prescribed by Bailey, Derek decided to go with the ‘metaphor style’ and it worked, because Meredith was even more motivated to finish the interview. She continued to throw up in front of the interviewers…and she did it in the trash can…ewww! But who cares?! She was confident and she knew what she was talking about. :)

Cristina and her interviewer were not getting along at all. They were two geniuses from completely different generations. As we all know Christina has her smart, but aggressive way of doing things, the interviewer didn’t get why she was so confident that her methods would work. Cristina tried to tolerate the interviewer, but when she couldn’t take it any longer, she snapped and gave him a lecture! “Just tell me the decade you want and I’ll provide the answer” Haha. Lol.

Jackson had seen his mum earlier with Webber when he went to get his lucky pencil and he was grossed out, so his day started out rough. But it got even worse when he found out that his mum was the interviewer in the next room. It was so hard to focus on his interview as he heard his mother’s loud and unending laughter. Poor Avery :( his second session was better after his “encounter with Kepner.” ;)

Kepner was crazy! Haha! Lol! This episode was the most face-time she ever got since the beginning of the season! Like the others, her interview wasn’t going so well. She bent the rules of the interview, she yelled, screamed, took off her jacket and did a lil dance for the interviewers. She was cracking me up… haha! Poor girl. She was trying so hard not to fail that she ruined the interview. During her second session, she was rambling and saying things that were irrelevant to the questions being asked. She was really trying to process what happened with Avery and how she had gone against her values.

They all found out their results and it was just like Avery’s Mum said “only four out of five passed.”

So who failed? The  look on Kepner’s face pretty much gives away the answer :( but we can’t be so sure! (there could be a twist)

Moving on to  non-board related issues…Mark and Lexie?!  She confessed…OMG! like 10 times…aww! The moment we have all been waiting for! But Julia is still in the picture. :( I smell drama…Are they getting back together?

Here is the preview for the next episode… see for your self! :)

“Grey’s Anatomy” airs Thurs. at 9/8c on ABC.

‘The Amazing Race’: Cochin, India. Season 20 ep 10.

by

This leg of the “race” picked up in Cochin, India. A couple of racers were sick. Art had a cold while Mark was still under the weather after the previous grueling roadblock. Mark was actually getting a drip before this leg of the “race” started. The military couple departed first, they received a greeting from a Priest and receive their next clue.

The next clue was a fast forward – if a team completes the fast forward they automatically skip the remaining tasks and  move on to the pit stop. Rachel, Dave, Art, J.J., could not complete the fast forward because each team already completed fast forwards earlier in the “race.” However, Vanessa and Ralph did not want to take risk. Brendon and Rachel however, opted for the fast forward, but when they realized it was a “shave head” forward they backed out. Each teammate was required to shave their hair, basically go bald. Rachel laments, “I paid $500 for hair extensions. I need hair to be pretty.” Brendon did not mind shaving his head, he does not have much hair anyway. I would not have done it either.

The roadblock task required the racers to spin and spoon 40 feet of rope made from the husk of coconuts. The men including Art completed this challenge for their team. Ralph had some difficulties getting a grip of this roadblock. J.J., on the other hand was mad when he realized nobody did the fast forward. He asked Rachel why she and Brendon did not complete the roadblock. She informed him, they had to shave their heads. Of course, J.J., was pissed because Mark and Bopper would have a straight shot to the pit stop, while the four teams would compete for the fourth place spot. J.J., then starts to mess with Rachel saying if they (Rachel and Brendon) lose it is because she (Rachel) did not shave her head. Gullible Rachel took the bait and began to doubt her decision.

At this point in the race, Mark and Bopper just started racing, three hours behind the other teams. They incur a “paint Tiger” speed bump (because they were the last team to finish the last leg). The teammates were required to paint a Tiger on a male dancer’s body. After completing the speed bump, Bopper and Mark decided to take on the fast forward. They made this decision because they thought nobody chose the fast forward, which they did not. So the lucky Cowboys shaved their head for a million bucks. Would you shave yours for a million dollars? At the other side of town, Vanessa fell while running to her taxi, she twisted her ankle. Ouch.

The detour was next. Teams had to choose between “pachy derm” or “pack a box.” Pachy derm” required teams to decorate an Elephant with a gold headdress and ornaments. Like Vanessa said, “this was the best detour hands down.” After completing that, teams also had to shovel fifteenth wheelbarrows of Elephant manure to a nearby truck. While “pack a box” required teams to pack ten wooden boxes of dry ginger, seal and deliver it to a local deport. Every team except for the Border Patrols chose “pachy derm.” The boys (Art and J.J.) had trouble with this detour. It was so bad, that J.J. accidentally cut his pinky with the sheet metal.

Rachel and Dave finished the detour first with the other teams trailing behind them. The next clue instructed teams to board a ferry to the pit stop. Rachel and Mark won this leg, the team’s sixth win. The couple won $10,000 each.  Rachel and Brendon were the second team to finish this leg, with Vanessa and Ralph coming in third. On the mat, Vanessa implied Rachel and Brendon did not shovel fifteen wheelbarrows of Elephant manure, but Rachel said they did. And asked why she trying to start something on the mat. I thought it was going to get intense for a minute, but it didn’t. The two ladies decided to squash their beef and move on. They apologized but did not hug each other. We will see how long this last.

Art and J.J. thought they were going to be eliminated, but they are still in the “race.” The Cowboys were eliminated on instead even though they completed the fast forward, the team was the last team to arrive at the pit stop. Our lucky Cowboys were not so lucky this week. :( I was/am sad, they were eliminated. Mark said, “”the amazing race” is called the amazing race for a reason it is amazing.” :)

The “race” continues next Sun., with a two-hour season finale. Who do you think will win “The Amazing Race?” Let us know by voting in the poll below. A team makes a costly mistake next week, who do you think it is? Below is the preview of the finale, take a look.

 

“The Amazing Race” airs Sundays, 8/7c on CBS!

‘The Amazing Race:’ Cochin, India. Season 20 Ep 9.

by

Last night’s episode of the race was intense, the heat in India physically affected some racers especially Mark, which almost made him quit the race. Before the teams made  their way to Cochin, India, The ‘married couple’ & ‘the border patrols’ met at the travel agency but did not  acknowledge each other. The u-turn feud continues. All teams excluding Vanessa & Ralph boarded the same flight to India while Vanessa & Ralph flew to India via Nairobi. But all teams arrived in Cochin at the same time.

Upon arriving in Cochin, the racers had to board a bus to Scared Heart College. Roadblock was the next clue. Teams had to dance Bollywood style. They had to learn a routine and perform the routine for the Bollywood choreographer to receive their next clue. Rachel, J.J., Rachel, Mark, and Vanessa chose to be the roadblockers this week. The guys had a bit of challenge performing the ‘roadblock’. J.J. & Mark had no rhythm, the teams with women fared better with the task. Rachel danced her way through ‘roadblock’ with every body else trailing behind. Bopper and Mark were the last team at the roadblock. According to Bopper, Mark “has no rhythm but has a heart”. Bopper wished he was the teammate dancing and not Mark, but he couldn’t because of his injury. (He twisted his ankle and knee during the last leg). Bopper wanted to take the penalty or go home but Mark wanted to complete the roadblock. They were ready to quit because Mark was sick. :( But Mark decided to give the task a last try, he wanted to prove to his kids he doesn’t quit. So he danced one more time, the 12th time and finally accomplished the task. The group of dancers hugged Mark as they celebrated. Awww, so sweet.

The next task was a ‘detour’. Each team could either choose ‘cricket’ or ‘clutch it’. ‘Cricket’ required each teammate to hit a ball to a certain boundary. On the other hand, ‘clutch it’ required teammate to learn how to drive a rickshaw, a three-wheeler vehicle around an obstacle course. The married couple and the dating divorcees chose ‘clutch it’ while the ‘big brother’ couple and the border patrols chose ‘cricket’. Rachel and Brendon beat Art & J.J. while play cricket which pissed the border patrols off. Shocker! Rachel & Dave worked together to complete the obstacle course without arguing of course.

India’s Bolgatty Palace was the pit stop this week. Rachel and Dave arrived at the pit stop first place this week, for the fifth time. The other racers arrived at the Palace in the following order: Brendon & Rachel, Art & J.J., Vanessa & Ralph and Mark & Bopper. The cowboys thought they were going to be eliminated last night, but Phil informed them it was a non-elimination. So once again, the lucky cowboys are still in the million dollars race. :)

Will Mark and Bopper breeze through the speed bump next week? Tune in next Sunday for an all-new episode of “The Amazing Race”.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 8 Ep. 20: The Girl With No Name

by

2

“When you are a kid, you always want things to stay the same, the same teacher, same house, same friends. Being a Surgeon is no different, you get used to the same attendings, same scrub nurses, same hospital…Of course, that all changes, the minute fifth-year comes around and you have to find a new job…it’s one of those things people say, you can’t move on until you have left go of the past, letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that is painful, so sometimes we fight it, try and keep things the same, things can’t stay the same though, at some point you just have to let go, move on! Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow” Meredith Grey (Episode Narrative).

GREY'S ANATOMY - "The Girl with No Name" - The doctors work on a Jane Doe, who turns out to be the subject of a case that gained national interest; Cristina proves to be the highest in demand as the residents begin their interviews for post-residency positions at prospective hospitals; and Richard is faced with an unsettling realization when he visits Adele at Rose Ridge, on "Grey's Anatomy," THURSDAY, APRIL 19 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/RANDY HOLMES)VANESSA MARANO, ELLEN POMPEO, PATRICK DEMPSEY

This episode was centered around the ‘fifth-years’, their job interviews, and a really traumatized patient. The patient was supposedly a hiker that fell and was badly injured. Soon after she got to the hospital, Meredith noticed the scars on her body and she realized that the patient wasn’t hiking, but she had been running from someone. From her scans Teddy saw signs that show that the girl had been tortured. Apparently, She was kidnapped when she was 6 years old and the Kidnapper lived 5 miles from her parent’s house, but they didn’t find her until now (12 years later). It was sad to watch that some people have actually been through what the patient had been through-kidnapped, raped, tortured, and isolated from everyone at such a young age. There was work to be done on the patient by almost every department in the hospital. The patient formed a bond with Meredith (the psychiatrist wasn’t so happy about this) and she needed her approval for everything, everyone around her seemed like a stranger and whenever she was asked a question, she turned to Meredith before answering.

The doctors were freaked out by this case; Owen had to deal with a lot of administrative stuff around the hospital as the press gathered to feed on the story of the patient, Cristina was also there to encourage him and he looked like he needed her approval for everything. It was so hard to contain what the patient had gone through, especially for Bailey…she knew the story of how the patient had gone missing and she never stopped thinking about it. She even had a panic attack at the daycare when her son was missing. She turned the place upside down and even started crying, but it wasn’t the kidnapper (Thank Goodness), Tucker (her son) had a nosebleed and a nurse had taken him outside to get it treated. Derek and Mark witnessed the whole thing and they realized the intensity of the situation. Every parent’s worst nightmare is for their child to go missing right under their nose.

Cristina was quite the catch for the recruiters, she got offers from the best places more than everyone else and there was a basket of goodies from each one of them to convince her to work for them. Teddy doesn’t want her to leave and she tells Owen to make her stay (she didn’t get the memo about the break up o_o), but Owen yelled at her and made it clear to Teddy that she wasn’t in a position to talk to him about such matters. However, Cristina seemed to be determined to leave Seattle, but Meredith? Not so much, she’s loving the way things are right now so she is not eager to leave. She even tried to avoid the interview Bailey had set up for her, but at the end of the day she went. Dear writers, she is not really leaving right? Because there can’t be Grey’s Anatomy without Meredith Grey! #justsaying

As for the other fifth years, April’s interview didn’t go so well. She did all the talking and she was very confident about her resume. Sometimes it’s not all about what you have done, but who you are! At the end of the day, personality goes a long way! April rants to her colleagues about the situation, but Alex’s situation is even worse as he hasn’t been getting calls from the big places like others. Arizona didn’t want him to leave so she had been messing with his recommendations and referring him to smaller hospitals in places like Toledo, Canada…Ohio! haha! LOL!

No matter how far he runs or how hard he tries, Jackson Avery can’t seem to get away from his name or his family’s achievement. His Mentor, Mark had gotten him an interview, but they seem to be interested in his family rather than what he had to offer as a surgeon. Poor baby. :( Speaking of sad, I feel really bad for Webber, his sick wife barely remembers him and she is seeing someone else! Wow…Life!!

This was a really great episode filled with a lot of emotions; sadness, laughter, anger, anxiety, and fear. It was a great episode!!! <;3

Omg! the next episode promises to be even better!!! so excited, we are going to see some action! hint: Lexie and Mark? Kepner and Avery! Finally! What happens after the boards?!

Here’s the preview for the next episode!

“Grey’s Anatomy” airs Thurs. at 9/8c on ABC.

Once You Go Bad, Screwing Others Over Becomes The Norm! ‘Survivor: One World’ Recap!

Survivor One World Jay eliminated

I’m late again, my apologies. The second to the last episode of “Survivor” was epic. I mean, I have never seen a player in the history of “Survivor” who believes no one is coming after him. Rule number one: never assume that anyone or everyone has your back. WIth that said, here are the highlights of the second to the last episode:

  • Jay won the immunity necklace.
  • Troyzan still believes that the Salani tribe is still a unified tribe. well, NOT ANYMORE!!
  • Sabrina and Kim got a chance to talk about strategies and also about voting Mike off the island. Their plan was to get rid of all the guys and have only both of them and Chelsea in the end.
  • Tarzan and Chelsea got into a fight AGAIN! This time, it was about a bamboo. Shezzz, can’t these two just kiss and make up? Tarzan came to a conclusion that Chealsea doesn’t like him because he is a plastic surgeon. Huh!?! Lol. WOW!
  • The big surprise of the episode: started when Jay was having suspicions about the girls. He noticed that they were up to something which they were. Kim told Troyzan that Mike said they should vote him (Troyzan) off the island so that Troyzan can vote Mike off if they asked him. Jay finally figured out that Mike was the target. As he was about to tell Mike, Kim rushed over to where they were standing and basically shut him up by diverting the topic of discussion. Mike, being a dumbass and sitting too comfortable let the girls handle everything because he trusted them. Little did he know that he put fate in the hands of those who, without any hesitation,  sealed his fate. Mike was blind sided and he was voted off the Island!

Now, the last episode was more interesting because everyone was in their paranoid state. Tarzan told Troyzan that the girls are planning to knock them (the guys) out one by one. Why isn’t any of the men listening to him?!?! Oh, that’s right. He is crazy! Lol. But one has to give Tarzan credit because he IS smart. Troyzan was not really bothered because he had the immunity idol to keep him safe.

The reward challenge was played differently this time. Jeff, the host was absent and it was played in their camp. The reward challenge was all about trying to get high points on the board. The reward was barbecue on a private Island. As usual, the tribe was divided into two teams. To cut the long story short, with the help of Tarzan, his team won and immediately went to the private Island. Those who were on the winning team loved the Island. It was gorgeous and peaceful. While some people were exploring the private Island, others like Kat and Jay were talking about strategies. Jay taught that they should send a girl home so that it can be even genders. He also said that individuals like Alicia and Tarzan should be voted off the island before them. Kat played along and agreed with him.

Later that day, the girls had a meeting. Kim talked about evicting Jay and then Troyzan later. Basically, she wanted whoever that doesn’t win the immunity idol between the two of them voted off the Island. Chelsea felt bad that she had to evict Jay or Troyzan because she gave them her word. Jay met with Kat and suggested that they should vote Alicia off the Island and he trusted that Kim and Chelsea will agree with the suggestion. What a dumb ass! Jay met with the girls and asked them to vote Alicia off the Island. Little did he know that he was a candidate for eviction. Troyzan suspected that the girls were going to make a big move that may not include him.

Once again, the immunity necklace was up for grab! The immunity challenge was all about how long one could hold one of their arms in an upright position. One arm was connected to a chain and the chain was connected to a big bucket filled with a liquid substance above their head. If the arm was lowered and the bucket turned over, she or he was eliminated from the game. Not only did they have to keep one arm up, they also had to overcome the temptation of food. During the game, Jeff, the host bribed players with food. People like Alicia and Jay took the offer without any hesitation while others like Troyzan fell off their balance while struggling to stay in the game. Everyone excluding Chelsea and Leif were out of the challenge. Chelsea told Leif to let her win or else, he will have a target on his back. Leif, being dumb let her win the immunity necklace. SMH!

As soon as everyone got back to the island, Chelsea and Kim called for another girl’s meeting. They decided to vote Troyzan off the Island. The amazing thing the girls did was that they split the vote. Kim and Chelsea told some of the girls to vote for Troyzan and some of the girls to vote for Jay. That way, one of them was going to be voted off the Island. Then, Kim told Alicia that they are going to tell Jay that they are voting for her to go home so that Jay wouldn’t be suspicious. Troyzan expressed his feelings to Jay about not feeling safe and not trusting the girls. He also told Jay that he had an immunity idol and he was going to play it. Dumb ass Jay went to tell Kim that Troyzan had an immunity idol and he was going to play it.  Kim didn’t have time to let everyone know the situation because it was right before tribal council. This game is indeed a foot!

Tribal council commenced. The discussion of the night was about who had the immunity idol. Jeff asked if anyone felt unsafe. Only Troyzan, Jay and surprisingly Kim raised their hands. The votes were in and before Jeff read the votes, Troyzan played his immunity idol which was a smart move. Jeff read the votes and Jay went home!!! SHOCKER! He was speechless. Lol. I was dying of laughter. His big mouth killed him. Apart from Jay eviction, a strange thing happened with the votes. There were more people’s’ names read: Troyzan, Jay, Alicia and, Kim. Alicia had more votes than Kim and Troyzan. If that doesn’t ring a bell Alicia, then you must not be as smart as I think you are.

To find out if Troyzan gets evicted next, tune in every Wednesday, 8 p.m. only on CBS for more on “Survivor!”

See ya!

The Good Wife Pants On Fire (5)

I know I’m super late with posting the second to the last episode of “The Good Wife”, with that said, here are the highlights for that episode:

  • The IRS was investigating Kalinda for the checks she has recievd from unanimous people. It turned out that the main reason she was investigated was about the work that she did for the Bishop.
  • Alicia got a salary bump!
  • Eli, David and Julius were still after Will’s position in the firm since he is suspended.
  • Alicia’s old home was up for sale. She went to see it. During this time, she went down memory lane of her experiences and incidents that happened inside the house.
  • Alicia was invited to be on  the panel with other high rank people (judges, pastor, e.t.c.) in the society to solve a police shooting case. The panel was a court hearing but it was not in a courtroom. It was in a room where the representatives on the panel sat in a single lined row and faced the witness or individual who was on trial. This is where Alicia was introduced to Mike, who was leader of the panel. Alicia, being a good lawyer found clues to solve the case but Mike did not like that she was going to be the hero and save the day. It turned out that Alicia’s husband, Peter hid evidence from that case. Mike gave Alicia two options: it’s either she shuts up and let the case stay as it is or she can solve the case which involves investigating the state attorney’s office (Peter’s office).  Given that ultimatum, Alicia recused herself!

The Good Wife Pants On Fire (2)

Now, the last episode of “The Good Wife” marked the beginning of dirty political game. It started when Alicia saw Mike, the SOB who gave her two choices towards the end of the panel hearing. He supposedly claimed that he came to inform her that she had to write a minority report about the case even though she recused herself. Mike used that visit as a political gain because the next day, he told the media that Alicia invited him into her office and told him not to investigate her husband concerning the shooting case. Mike wanted to destroy Peter’s reputation before he decides to run for governor. Obviously, Alicia felt bad and decided to talk to Eli about it. Eli told her there is nothing he could about it and she just have to deal with the situation until it all goes away. The next day, Alicia went to Mike’s office and confronted him about all the lies he was saying to the media. Mike tried to convince Alicia that she was the one that said those things.  Alicia told Mike if Peter were to run for governor, Peter was going to beat him.

Alicia went back to Eli and told him to convince Peter to run for governor and that she would think about helping Peter during the campaign. Peter finally met Mike in an elevator ride, they exchanged words. Peter told Mike to leave each other’s family out of the issue. Mike told Peter that if he runs for governor, Alicia is going to feel the pain the most because he was going to go after her. Peter promised Mike that he is going to come after him with everything he’s got. With that said, may the best man win and let the dirty political game begin!

In other news, here are the highlights for other juicy incidents:

  • Alicia finally talked to Jackie about why Jackie bought their old home. Jackie said she had great memories in that house and she was buying it for Peter (her son). Alicia threatened to keep her from her grandchildren if she buys the house. Alicia also called Peter and told about what his mother did. Peter met with his mother and harshly told her to not buy the house. Few hours after that meeting , Jackie was laying on a bed in the hospital. She had a stroke.
  • After so many years, Eli finally slept with his ex-wife. It’s about time! Keep in mind that Eli is managing his wife’s campaign for a position in the state’s office and is also managing Peter. But unfortunately, one of Peter big supporters gave Eli a choice to either drop his wife as a client and support Peter or keep his wife and lose him and others as supporters for Peter. Peter’s big supporters told Eli that they already have a candidate for the position that Eli’s wife is campaigning for and they would appreciate it if she did not run..  Eli broke the news to his ex-wife and she was pissed.
  • With Alicia by his side, Peter decided to run for governor.
