Who will be the sole Survivor?

Here are some links regarding Survivor and The Amazing Race.

Survivor 19

Survivor 19 (warning, contains liberal ignorance on display)

The Amazing Race 15

Apparently, this season there are twelve teams on the Race - and one of them gets eliminated right at the very beginning. Maybe the last team to get to the airport is out - or maybe the last team to reach their bags after Phil says "Go!" Would suck to be them.

“...(warning, contains liberal ignorance on display)....”

True - but it seems that the ones they did find to go on the show were not the best examples of Christianity.

Some of them were, to be kind, a little “rude” about the way they handled things.

[I Drive Too Fast]

The last time they had 12 teams (Amazing Race 10), they had a mid-race point elimination and got rid of the two Muslim guys in China, then at the end of the leg eliminated another team.

I did some snooping earlier on the race just looking for cities and when I saw the final city, I accidently saw one of the final three teams. Oh well, but at least I only know one team out of the three.

[JillValentine]

I remember.

Amazing Race 10

Those were the days. Enough people to do running commentaries. Where has everyone gone? Same thing with the Survivor threads.

:-(

[JillValentine]

I like looking at the new Amazing Race contestants each season and laughing at SeeBS’s hypocritical ideas of what “diversity” is.

Gay male couples virtually every season, but it took until season 10 (!) for the show to have a lesbian racer.

Token black couples virtually every season, but this one (season 15) is the first to feature an interracial couple (!!).

Got to get past the burger commercial but.....

What the heck is he doing? Will he be the first boot?

[PeteB570]

Any hints or spoilers yet?

[JillValentine]

The Foa Foa tribe loses the first immunity challenge. The most likely to be voted off tonight are, in alphabetical order, Betsy, Elizabeth, Marisa, and Mike.

I'll post the official episode preview soon.

[Tazlo]

Looking forward to tonight — hope that everyone remembers to watch.

[PeteB570]

Man - I was checking out some of the previews.

The butt head Russell was pouring out water from the canteens and burning socks while the others were sleeping.

One forum was saying he took a leak in some of the canteens.

SURVIVOR PING!

Foa Foa Tribe (Yellow Buffs): Ashley, Ben, Betsy, Elizabeth, Jaison, Marisa, Mick, Mike, Natalie, Russell H.

Galu Tribe (Purple Buffs): Brett, Dave, Erik, John, Kelly, Laura, Monica, Russell S., Shannon, Yasmin

Episode 1 title: "The Puppet Master"

Twenty new contestants begin the adventure of a lifetime on the tropical islands of Samoa. A new twist requires each tribe to elect a chief before doing anything else - including talking to each other. And host Jeff Probst promises us the "best villain ever" this season, who we now know is Russell H.

Reward Challenge: A challenge with several stages, each stage being performed by one member from each tribe. Swimming, lifting and carrying, a balance beam, and puzzle solving are all involved.

Immunity Challenge: Six contestants from each tribe will carry heavy coils of rope over a series of walls, then pull a crate onto a platform. The four remaining players from each tribe will then disassemble the crate and solve a puzzle made from pieces of the crate.

Spoilers (note that these will be [educated] guesses - highlight to see):

Reward challenge winner: Foa Foa

Immunity challenge winner: Galu

Voted Off: Marisa

I'll be back after the show with the recap.

Tookie got to die doing what he loved most - overdosing on drugs.

[JillValentine]

Anyone here at all?

Anyone?

(insert sound of crickets chirping)

[Alice in Wonderland]

Please add me to the ping list. Thanks.

I just snuck a quick peak, but I don’t get to see it until 8 PM west coast time.

First Loser:

[PeteB570]

She may be the first to get the boot but she was the first to see what Russell was doing.

She handled it wrong and knew she was in the soup at TC.

But did you see the after TC words of wisdom? She’s got Russell pegged.

Let’s see how long it takes the others on the team to see through him.

The next person he target’s and everubody else should go “I’ve been down this road before.”

[NYTexan]

It’s gonna be fun to watch him sabotage his clan!
