Survivor: China: “Just Don’t Eat The Apple”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor,
It was Day 25 at Hae Da Fung and James was feeling slightly burned by the previous night’s elimination. It didn’t make him feel good to see his name written down three times. From this point on, he was going to make sure he always had his immunity idols with him at Tribal Council. But would he actually know when to use them?
Courtney started off the morning by celebrating. With Jean-Robert gone, it was like Christmas in China to the skinny waitress. Unfortunately, Denise’s evil daggers interrupted Courtney and Amanda’s joyous moods. Unaware that her former Fei Long ‘friends’ had changed their elimination target, she went with the original plan and voted for Peih-gee. Now the school lunch lady was feeling just as blindsided as Jean-Robert. Did she make a mistake not aligning with the former Zhan Hu members? Hoping to secure her loyalty, James lied to Denise about the voting changes. He claimed it was always their intention to tell her; someone just simply forgot to relay the message. Although she was unsure whether James should be believed, she knew it would be smart to stick with the man who possessed all the idols.

The Amazing Race: Season 12: “I’ve Become the Archie Bunker of the Home”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The,
In the middle of the night, the ten remaining teams took off from their last rest stop in Ireland and headed toward the local airport. Next stop: Amsterdam.
Azaria and Hendekea started the departures followed by Kynt/Vxyin then Jason/Lorena. Ronald and Christina, the 7th team to leave, got off to a delayed start when Christina forgot her fanny pack inside the hotel. Although they did finally get on the road, the father/daughter team later returned to the hotel so they could research flights via computer. Thankfully Kate and Pat – who waited alongside Ronald – were not as impatient with Christina as her father was.
Meanwhile Nicolas and Donald, the 5th team to depart, were unfortunately sidelined with a flat tire soon after their departure. Despite their quick recovery, the grandfather/grandson were one of the last duos to make it to the ticket counters. Luckily, every single team – except for Marinna and Julia – were able to get on the first plane into Dublin. The sister team narrowly missed the flight’s departure because they had taken a long route to the airport.
