PBB Teen Clash of 2010: Day 1, 1st weekly task

Posted in Authors, Big Brother, Big Brother 3 Philippines, Carlex's Blog, Teen Big Bro 3 Philippines on April 12th, 2010 by carlex rol

Hello Philippines and Hello World!!

To start this post..the show narrated about the 1st dinner of the housemates on each house. In the Villa, because of their lost in the 1st activity, their dinner is simple yet nutritious food. As what i know, its a baby food. Only Joe is the one who appreciated it because he loves sticky foods and even revealed to Big Brother that he can eat it all but he felt too shy for the other housemates. (I think the baby food is composed of a potato and squash thing?..i Don’t know..but it is STICKY for sure.) ..If Joe loved it, Kyra was unable to eat it because of its smell. While the others find their own ways on how to eat the foods. On the Apartment, the housemates enjoyed their elegant 1st dinner on the house with cakes and a lot of delicious foods. (some were unique and special Filipino foods to name)Tricia and Potz enjoyed a lot with their foods while others were just giggling about it.

Kyra and Joe of Villa revealed their feelings to Big Brother regarding the Puzzle game and said that its okay even they have lost. Well, there are more to come so better luck next time.

While Kazel of Apartment said to Big Brother that Tricia and (Romeo)Potz were among of those who are the liveliest housemates on what she have observed.

Yong talked to Joe and Eslove about his guess on the reason why Big BRother has two houses again. He said that maybe, in the Villa, poor housemates will clash to the rich houses on the Apartment.(That’s definitely the answer!)

And to marked their first Sleeping time on the house, both housemates from the two houses were able to prepare well for it. As a matter of fact, in the Apartment, were no beds are present, only the Banig(rattan comforters, and they are going to sleep on the floor.)the girl housemates talked and made a deal that they should all wear the same outfits in sleeping. (how weird?..)

The Apartment’ s HOusemates find hard time on sleeping because of their situation. A lot of complains filled the air for they are not comfortable on it. (of course, its their 1st time) The boy housemates said that for sure, they will have a terrible back ache when they woke up. Well, this is a lot of opposite compare to the Villa’s Bedrooms. Unlike on the Apartment, the housemates here are enjoying the bed and they even said to Big Brother that its their first time to sleep on a soft and elegant bed.

Afterwards, they all fell asleep. On the Apartment, it was Rebecca and Tricia who woke up in the middle of the dawn because of their comfortability on sleeping. They even said, “GoodMorning World!”

When morning comes, the housemates were woke up by a strange wake up call. Their bedrooms were filled with the noise of a goat. A lot of wild guesses comes regarding the wake up call relating to their task for the day. Some said that maybe, a lot of goats are on the Living room.

When they all wake up, the Villa’s Housemates have already noticed the goat on the garden. It was Joe and Eslove who first saw it followed by Yong. They guessed that maybe, they will milk the goat. If the Villa Team had already noticed the goat, on the Apartment, it was totally opposite situation. Tricia and Kazel looked outside but without noticing the goat. Also for Ivan, a big blind, where he almost tour their garden but sees no goat at all. Thanks to Potz,who was the first one to see it, followed by everyone. Rebecca felt uncomfortable with the smell of the goat and even brought to the point of sneezing.

Speaking of their breakfast, on the Villa, Shey, Joe and Eslove don’t know how to use the microwave.. But fortunately, their able to discover how. :) On the apartment, Ivan teaches Tricia to cook eggs for their breakfast.

After their breakfast, Big Brother told them their first weekly task regarding the goats on their garden. It was named as “Oh My Goat”. at the end of the week, the house with the most plenty of milk gathered from the goat will be proclaimed as the winner. To teach them how to milk the goats, Big Brother let them to watch on the plasma TV a special tutorial. Ivan told Big Brother that he is so escited coz it’s his 1st time to touch and to milk a goat. When Big Brother asked him what is the tagalog term for the goat,,(which is “kambing“) he replied, “LAMBING!” Lol!!While Potz on the other hand, caught my attention for his addiction to milk..(looks like he had 2 bottles instantly.)

On the Villa, the Housemates decided to use the swimming pool. Shey shared to Joe her willingness to have a darker skin. Joe replied that they should exchange colors therefore. Joe also said not only to Shey but his fellow housemates, and of course, to Big Brother, that he has a big crush on Shey.

Lunch time came, and each House prepared their lunch. On the Villa, Shey and Joe take in charge of the cooking(“tinolang manok” i think) while on the Apartment, no one knows how to cook. But with Kazel’s little knowledge on cooking, she did it(Adobong manok). When eating time came, Villa was satisfied and happy with their food while on the Apartment, where everyone are brats, remained silent while eating and i am sure it is because of the food and the way it is cooked!.Poor Housemates, its really hard to live if you don’t know how to do simple house chores.  :)

After their lunch, Both house did the cleaning of the goats. On Villa, it was a funny scene when Eslove thried to taste the food of the goat!! Damn! He’ s funny! (and a bit of stupid….but promise,,he is funny!! I am starting to like him..Because now, i can see clearly, our common qualities!!Lol)

It went simple for the Villa(the cleaning thing) while on the Apartment, they find hard time doing it. Well, to think of, they have a little knowledge on doing house chores, so cleaning the goat does make a sense! Rebecca as well with the other girl housemates screamed when the goat pees!!!“oh my gosh!!how gross!!!Disgusting!! eww!!” (their reaction are so real!! So Bratty!!Lol) When Potz tried to free the goat, and run all over the garden, their screams never stops, making the housemates on the Villa wonder and fell curious about them.  And to their amazed for what they have heard, (because they have heard that the housemates living on the other side are all brats) ..they even repeat it then laughs!!!.. (a very funny scene where the housemates on the Apartment thought that the housemates on the villa were happy because of the swimming pool, but in fact, they don’t know that they were the one whom the housemates of villa refer for their laugh trip!!)

..Breaking the funny tension, between the two houses..Joe and Eslove had a funny talk to Shey about love. They keep on asking Shey if the chances of them is possible for her to love them. Shey replied that what all she wants on a guy is that, he is matured enough. Then Eslove, upon hearing it, acted like one.

To end the show, in the Apartment, they felt bored, that made Rebecca to introduced a game. The game she was able to tell the other housemates were a crap thing!.. no one can relate to it..i think, even the public?!..Lol so, they keep on inventing other games such as rumbling and wrestling and tying themselves to each other then tried to get out of it.  On the Villa, Eslove started to dance (a very funny dance, without music) that was followed by Shey,Kyra,Devon and Joe. Then the whole Villa was dancing..a very funny dancing scene.!! (so enjoyable to watch on than on the apartment).. :)

That’s for today!!..

Thank you for reading and comments are always appreciated. (–,)

PBB Teen Clash of 2010: 1st Night and Maichel’s Entance

Posted in Big Brother, Carlex's Blog, Teen Big Bro 3 Philippines on April 12th, 2010 by carlex rol

Hello Philippines and Hello World!

This post is about the 1st Sunday episode of the show and the Live entrance of the last and final housemate for the Villa.

(By the way, i still can’t log in to the Forum..i just wanted to say thank You for those who provide the additional infos about the Teen Housemates.. :) )

Going on.. the episode tackled about the 1st night of the Teens in the BB House. In the Villa, Joe was the very first one to enter the house followed by Devon, whom Joe remarked as a cute one. Third was Eslove, whom find comfort at Joe and became instant friends. They are both funny and well adjusted to each other. Well, i see Eslove as a very funny guy! too real on his emotions. The next one to enter was Shey, whom entrance was remarked by Eslove and Joe because of her appearance. They said that Shey is too tall and beautiful. Then, next was Angelo, followed by Kyra and lastly, Yong. Well, after the completion of the Villa’s occupants, they became instant peers and they felt comfortably with each other.

By the way, the confession room for this season is the coolest confession room ever!.. It is a summer inspired CF.

On the other hand, the 1st occupants of the Apartment was Romeo and Rebecca. They introduced themselves to each other including their age and i was a bit of surprised for Rebecca’s age..She is only 13. I wonder how she was able to enter for what i know, the age bracket was 14 or 15 to 18 or 19?. well, its cool enough to add spice for the season. (while Romeo is 15 years old.)

The most remarkable entrance of a guy housemate for the night was Ivan, because of his looks. He is really handsome and the people from the outside world reacted violently upon his introduction. :)  When the Apartment’s Housemates were already complete, they have their quality bonding time on their bedroom knowing the fact that they don’t have beds to sleep except for their Banig(rattan comforters).

Both Housemates from each House took a tour on their new home. on the Villa, the housemates were surprised for thier House because of its elegance. They even found a freezer that is full of ice creams. (How Lucky!)  They were excited too for the swimming pool. They felt happiness for their bedrooms because of its great designs. (well, everything on the villa is perfect!)

On the apartment, the housemates were wondering how to use the diswashing bottle on the kitchen. (see?..they are really rich to the point that they have their own servants for them) Yen failed to open the bottle as well as Romeo. But when Ivan tried his might, he successfully opened it, and the other housemates were surprised and amazed.

For their first special activity, each group had a representative to go individually to the Confession Room for the instructions. The activity was named as “Baby Picture Puzzle Game”. The rules was read by the representative, Shey for the Villa, and Romeo for the Apartment.

One housemate will describe his baby picture(that will serve as the puzzle to play)while he is on a big lectern while his fellow housemates are on the table to play the puzzle. The game is about the 1st group to finish the puzzles in the shortest time.

the winner was the Apartment team with 13 minutes and Villa had 16 minutes. Apartment team got a special and elegant dinner while the Villa team got a simple yet nutritious dinner.

Speaking of the last and final Housemate, Big Brother had already made his decision regarding the supposedly girl teen housemate. this girl teen housemate was observed by the medical team and advised her to stay on the hospital for 36 to 70 hours more and so, this lead to the entrance of her replacement, the “Courageous Lakan of Samar“, Maichel

He will live in the Villa, because of his background. He is teen who worked at an early age just to fulfill the needs of his family. Part of his source of earning was male pageants. Through these, he was able to study and give the money for his family. He is 19 years old and too lucky for he became an instant replacement. :) well, my personal view of him, i don’t know yet. He seems to be a very nervous guy because on what i saw on him, upon his entrance to the house, he’s out of his mind. Know why?. Coz when he was in the confession room, Big Brother welcomed him and said, “Teen Housemate Maichel, Welcomed to My House and Thank you for accepting the challenge to live here”

but he instead replied, “yeah, i’m okay!”.. LOL!! :)

For his entrance, Big Brother gave him a task. This was to remain silent and refrain from talking to the other house mates. His housemates should guess his name and the right spelling of it by giving his clues through his actions.

BUT!! Suddenly, on his way to the Villa, it seemed that he already forgot his task. On his LIVE entrance, he  was unable to do his task. (I think it’s because of his nervousness). When he met the other housemates, he quickly talk and said hello!. He even introduced his self and of all, HIS NAME!!!! (Oh -oh!! Looks like he is not concentrating on the task!)

After that, the show ends..

(–,)

well. That’s for today.. Thanks for reading! Comments are always appreciated and you are all free to ask for any questions and clarification!

THANKS!!!

USA’s Survivor 20 – Episode 8

Posted in Authors, Nemle's Blog, Survivor, Survivor 20 USA on April 12th, 2010 by Nemle

We join the Villains just in time to see Parvati and Danielle saying how much they love blind siding people, Russell bragging that he’s the best ever, and Coach calling Russell a coward. Um. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? I mean, Coach is the one who chose to sit back and watch his friend get taken out of the game instead of helping him. Coach is the only coward I see in this game. He also calls Russell a bully, which he is. Jerri then talks about how she regrets voting Rob out and discusses plans with Coach.

Over in the Heroes beach, JT decides to hunt down the idol. Now remember how the tribe all agreed to find it together? I knew someone would crack. Ha. JT did indeed find the idol…but he was busted by Amanda, who is such a busy-body! Feeling awkward, trapped and wanting to look good to the tribe, he then shares the news with the whole tribe. It didn’t fool anyone though. Candice even points it out to Amanda that they were lucky she caught him.

Jerri, in the Villains camp, becomes a drama queen; “We’re starving. We’re going to die.” What!? Really now!?

They immediately get tree mail and its wording is vague…as always…but for some reason it leads the Villains to think it’s a merge. So, they tear everything down, pack it up and carry it with them to…

The Reward Challenge!

This is the first chance the Heroes have to see who the Villains voted out, which was Rob. Their reactions are priceless. Rupert’s mouth drops, Amanda says OMG a couple times, and then the best parts. When Probst asks Rupert what he makes of Rob going home, Rupert replies with, “It sure looks like they got a woman’s alliance.” Now, I can understand why it appears that way, with the Villains having voted out 3 men in a row and no women. But come on! You can’t just assume stuff like this! JT even whispers to Russell to hang in there. Oh this will only turn into a disaster!

The Villains now have everything from camp with them. Probst points this out and decides to tell them to…

…drop…

…their…

…expectations!

I LOVE YOU PROBST!! You have an evil bone too! I love it!

Okay, so this challenge was seen in Samoa. It’s a simple game of bowling. Each player in a round gets 2 rolls to knock over as many pins as possible. First tribe to 3 points wins. The Villains have to sit out 2 members. Coach asks Sandra if she wants to play and she says; “I’ll do whatever you guys want.” Coach then says he wants to win the feast and chooses for the tribe to sit out Courtney and Sandra. Uh. Okay? This is something that is easy!! Something that takes no physical skill at all and he wants to sit out the 2 weakest!? Smooottthh! What is up for grabs in this reward? A pizza feast!

First round is Parvs vs Rupert. Parvs gets 2 straight gutter balls. Rupert knocks over 3 on his first throw and doesn’t even have to roll his second. The Heroes lead 1-0.

Round 2 is JT vs Danielle. JT kknocks over 6 pins on his first roll. Danielle…none. JT misses on his second shot, meaning to score a point Danielle has to knock over 7. However…she gutters the ball. The Heroes now lead 2-0.

The last round has Russell against Colby. Russell goes first and misses completely. Colby rolls and oddly manages to bounce the ball. He misses. On his second roll Russell hits 5 pins. Colby only hits 1 pin on his next roll. Heroes lead 2-1.

The next round is Coach and Amanda. Coach goes first and knocks over 5 pins. Amanda goes next and does the same. Coach goes for his second roll and adds only 1 to his total. Amanda goes and…knocks over 2, giving the Heroes their 3rd point and the win.

Nothing much happens in the Heroe’s feast. They talk about how stupid it was to boot Rob and how OBVIOUS it is that there’s a woman’s alliance. Um. No?

The Villains return to camp in anger. Mainly Jerri who flips out at the camp. She then rants to the tribe about how it was a mistake to let Courtney and Sandra sit out…with Sandra sitting right there. Sandra jumps back asking how it’s their fault they lost when they weren’t even in it! Jerri then turns on Coach, saying it was him who made the call.

I laugh so hard at Sandra. She talks about hating everyone, but then she should be on the Heroes camp. Ha! Heroes love, Sandra! Not hate! She must be confused like Rob was at one point…

Sandra and Coach know they’re on the outs, so they talk together and decide to work some magic to get Russell to target Coach. Now, Sandra is a spunky little woman who is always underestimated. When I play Online Reality Games, I’m ALWAYS underestimated…so I know this angle she’s playing!

Courtney talks to Coach, putting it into his head that Russell running the show and everyone is following him out of fear. Meanwhile, Sandra is talking to Russell. She tells him that Coach is telling Courtney it was a mistake to side with Russell over Rob. Sandra continues to throw chum in the water until Russell is pumped to take Coach out, who runs to Parv and repeats it all.

I LOVE IT!! FINALLY! Someone who pulls the wool over Russell’s eyes instead!

Immunity Challenge!!

Ewwwwww!!! Mud!! The players are paired and tied. They then run through a muddy course to grab a flag. First tribe to grab 2 flags will win. The Villains sit out Danielle and Jerri.

First match is Russell/Sandra vs Amanda/Candice. Right aay Sandra is the clear slow mo. She truly does her best and hangs in there for the first half, but she gets stuck in the third obstacle. The Heroes score a point.

Due to the uneven 5 in numbers, match 2 is just Rupert vs Coach. It’s even for the entire run, but Coach is simply a faster runner in the end.

The final round has Parvati/Courtney vs JT/Colby. The Villain ladies are sllooowwww. It wasn’t even a battle. The Heroes claimed that win easy. Poor Courtney did twist her ankle though.

Villains return to camp all nasty and dirty. It’s so gross! Haha! But sadly, Coach is now pumped. UGH! He goes on a long speach about now being revived. He wants to vote out Courtney for being weak. Why do people feel the physically weak aren’t worthy? Seriously! Like, if they outlast the muscle…then good for them!

Danielle tells Russell they need to vote Courtney out next, while Russell says Coach. It entensifies into an argument. They literally start yelling and go off in their own directions. Sandra, hiding and listening, runs to Courtney and relays it all to her.

Later, Russell does go back to Danielle and apologizes. He’s then on board with voting Courtney. What in the world!? Make up your mind, Russell!

Tree…House…Tribal…Counciiilllll!!!

Probst starts it off by asking Danielle if there are regrets in voting out Tyson and Rob. She says she did what she felt she did what she felt was right. probst then goes on to say that in a game like Survivor, when picking who to be with…99% of people would pick Tyson or Rob over someone like Courtney simply for their strength. He quickly adds; “No offense” but you can tell Courtney wanted to slap Probst. Haha. They do go back and forth a bit.

Coach makes a comment about how he hates it how people don’t give it their all in the challenges, but Courtney instantly knocks him down a peg by pointing out it was HIM who told the weaker players to sit out of the reward challenges because HE wanted to eat. Despite the upcoming immunity challenge.

Courtney gives an awesome speech, which I won’t post due to language. But she basically says she’s determined and weak or not…she’s still here and won’t give up! She and Sandra then fist pump, which made me giggle.

In the end it was 4-3…

In an interview with Reality Wanted, we learn that when Coach had tried convincing Rob and Russell to work together instead of against each other…Russell was actually willing! But Rob’s ego and desire to oust Russell prevented it from happening. The interviewer, Gina, also points out that the tribe could have and should have paired Courtney and Sandra together in the immunity challenge and throw away the one point, instead of putting both pairs in jeopardy.

PBB Teen Clash of 2010: Let the CLASH Begin!

Posted in Authors, Big Brother, Carlex's Blog, Teen Big Bro 3 Philippines on April 10th, 2010 by carlex rol

Hello Philippines and Hello World!

I am so back to give you the latest happenings and the updates about the hippest and the newest Teen Edition of 2010.  and so, LET THE CLASH BEGIN!!!

..well, the launch night has a theme of social networking sites and a bit of computer Age. its been almost  2 months that Big Brother took his rest and now, once more, he opened it for the Teens! Equipped with the new challenges, new Rules,new Twists, Big Brother is ready to mingle and heat up the summer of philippine Television.

..from the 50,000 auditionees, only 16 housemates have luckily passed the tests of Big Brother and joined the lists of the new Filipino Teen Idols.

The show was welcomed with the performances of Yeng,Bugoy, MILES,YOung JV, Jaco,and Sam Conception as they sing and dance as the opening number. the theme song of the show is retained with “KABATAANG PINOY” (Filipino Youth).

The season is formally introduced by the main hosts, Mariel,Toni and Bianca.

To begin with the details, this season, it is confirmed that it has TWO HOUSES too. House A was named as VILLA, where the teen housemates who will live are Teens who lived with not so “rich” / “not well” kind of living (with their real lives) or in short, those who are below average standard of living in the philippines. While on the other hand, House B was named as APARTMENT, where the teen housemates who live here are Rich Teens. (those who came from a social and elite lifestyle of living in their real lives)

VILLA is a simple yet elegant house while the APARTMENT has a summer style but not well as the Villa. (though the two houses are still great!)

to give you a tour and to help our dearest Graham for the site, i’ll give you some of the pictures of the new PBB House. (courtesy of www.pinoybigbrother.multiply.com and www.pinoybigbrother.com)

but i am not sure with my classification of the pictures whether it is on the Villa or APARTMENT for the reason that the house was not fully shown to the public through the night launch. [well, i might sort it some other time// :) ]

VILLA/APARTMENT

Now, after the house, of course, the Teen Housemates.. i will introduce them accordingly to their appearances on the launch night.

we begin with the VILLA TEEN HOUSEMATES

1.) JOE

- “Swabeng Komikero of Quezon City”

(Cool Joker of Quezon City)

..well, obviously, he has a half blood, and i am not sure on what it is, but surely, he’s half filipino too. :)

He was introduced as a funny guy and a joker, loves funny stuffs and always cracks a joke for fun. But despite of his funny disposition on life, he has always been criticized by the other people because of his unknown knowledge about his father. his family is not so well in regards with financial that’s why he will live in the VILLA.

**personal view about him?..well, he is funny but not enough to make me interested of him.)

LATEST UPDATE:

..He started to mingle to the other teen housemates when he gets in and tries to cracks jokes to the female housemates. But it seems that the other housemates are not yet comfortable with him.

2.)DEVON

-“Bubbly Promdi of Cebu”

(Bubbly Rural Teen of Cebu)

..she was introduced as a teen who happened to be in danger of not graduating High School. But because of her perseverance, Big Brother even help her regarding the tuition fees. Yes, it was Big brother who paid her school fess in order to be in the Big Brother House. She has a scoliosis making her family to decide that she should study in a private school, despite of their poverty just to make her comfortable in going to school and to prevent the worsening of her disease.. (making her to live in the VILLA)

**personal view about her?..well, she does not caught my attention but only to raise my brows knowing that Big Brother paid her tuition fee.:) but She’s amazing ..just a little bit.:)

LATEST UPDATE:

She chose to remain silent as she entered the house. So far, no news yet.

3.)ESLOVE

-“Sigang Istokwa of Tawi – Tawi”

(Trouble Maker & Outgoing Teen of  Tawi-Tawi)

..to be simple, he’s a hard headed teen and a bit of being outrageous. But, he is really a helpful one when it comes to his family. He worked as a canteen worker just to fulfill their needs making him one of the housemates to live in the villa.

**personal view?..well i think he’ll bring a lot of trouble in the house because of what my impression is, he has a strong personality.

LATEST UPDATE:

he talks a lot in the house and easily adjusted with the other housemates. he seems to try to be a leader in his actions.

4.)SHEY

-“Diskarte Bombshell of Mindoro”

she is a teen Beauty queen, also has a half blood but without the knowledge who is her father. (seems to be same with Joe:))

she stands as the breadwinner of her family because of poverty.

**personal view?.. she’s beautiful, but not enough to strike the public with an impression.

LATEST UPDATE:

she seems to be awkward with her dress because whenever she walks in the house, she always holds it making me uncomfortable to see her.

5.)ANGELO

- “Struggling Isko of Antique”

(Struggling Scholar of Antique)

he was a teen fisherman just to satisfy his family needs for a living and currently taking up midwifery at the University of the Philippines as a scholar. He also once a Houseboy in a family of doctor earning him the opportunity to study. He is pure Filipino and always does his best for his family. (obviously, that’s the reason why he belongs to the villa.)

**personal view..He inspires me on what he had done and for his struggles towards a good living and i actually find him interesting enough for i think he is a cool one. (me and him has a common denominator.:))

LATEST UPDATE:

he entered with his uniform making the other housemates wondering if he is a nurse. but he instantly replied that he takes midwifery instead. he seems to just nice and lets see if he’ll maintain it.

6.)KYRA

-“Gilng Girl of Batangas”

(Dacing Girl of Batangas)

she also came from a poor family making her to work at an early age. she dances and joins competition to earn for a living. She also sells as an additional source of income. She was introduced with a lot of problems with her relatives. (but the reason where unknown yet)

**personal view.. she seems to be a simple girl at first look but with a striking personality

LATEST UPDATE:

i was not able to see her around. (that only means that she’s not yet making any move at all..)

7.)YONG

-“Boy Breadwinner of Pampanga”

..he was introduced as a mama’s boy with a very high impact personality. He worked as a construction worker making me so proud and inspired. He is also a scholar in High School and the only hope of his family. He seems to have a “emo” style but he’s clean enough to enter the house. He struggles hard just to earn money and he is a good boy indeed.

**personal view…well, so far, he’s my early bet, with his good personality and manners, i am surely that a lot of people will like him too. by the way, he looks good and handsome on TV

8.) STILL UNKNOWN

..This is because the originally chosen housemate, dubbed as the “Dependent Darling,” was found out to have some problems after undergoing the elaborate medical examinations (all housemates undergo in this prcoess). As what host Toni Gonzaga has said during the opening of the PBB Teen Clash Edition of 2010 earlier this evening, she may be replaced with a certain substitute who is intriguingly called the “Courageous Lakan!” . the answer will be revealed tomorrow night, live!

APARTMENT TEEN HOUSEMATES

1.)ROMEO (potz)

-“Political Son of Dipolog”

..he belongs to a political clan on his region. he is controversial because of his father, but i rather not to share it for now because i am still in search for it. He grew up with bodyguards because of the thought of his family that he would just make another controversial things. He also revealed that he used to escaped from his bodyguards just to do his own things. His lifestyle and social status made him to be in the Apartment.

**personal view..well, i hope he would not make any controversial stuff on the house. he seems to be the most “game” person and always ready on his team compare to the other Apartment occupants.

2.)REBECCA

-“Heiress Wonder of Cebu”

She is a rich one that made her to be in the apartment. Her family owns a Shipping company and treats her a princess. She is also a guitarist where her guitar was her first personal thing she was able to buy for her self. During the final casting, her father died. this made her sad and a bit of confuse if she will continue with the show. But, look, she continue instead. She said that it would be okay if she will use her time resoucefully in the house.

**personal view.. I find her as one of those who will create some conflicts because she seems to have a strong personality.

3.)YEN

-“Little Miss Sunshine of Nueva Ecija”

..she is a beautiful teen.(that’s it!)

…she is really hot and pretty making her to be involve in some troubles because a lot of girls in her school get envy of her because of the beauty she has.

**personal view..SHE IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL!! I LIKE HER..simple yet very attractive face and personality..

4.)PATRICK

-“Gentle Boy Next Door of Mandaluyong”

He is a soccer and basketball player. he grew up with out his father making him to be so much close with his step dad. He shared to the public during his interview with the hosts that he had his first girlfriend. He courted the girl for almost 10 months and their relationship only lasted for 20 days. He frankly said that the relationship was not working well so he decided to cut it off.

**personal view..He’s funny..:)

5.)TRICIA

-“Athletic Muse of Davao”

She was once awarded on her birthplace as the most beautiful girl of their region. She studies on Ateneo and a vivid fan of shoes. She is wanting for some different adventure and her entrance to the Big Brother House is definitely the one she’s looking for.

**personal view..She is also BEAUTIFUL!!! INDEED!

6.)KAZEL

-“Shapaholic  Chick of Parañaque”

well..obviously with her moniker, she is fond of shopping without any hesitation on the price. She only consider things with high prices and those that are original. She hates cheapness. :) She is a half Japanese teen from parañaque and was introduced as a rich teen.:)

**personal view..well, i’ll watch out for her..coz there something in me that made me interested of her.:)

7.)IVAN

-“Striking Stud of Rizal”

He is really a heartthrob on his looks. He is a half irish half filipino Teen who happened to be a “NO GIRLFRIEND SINCE BIRTH”. He appears to be a Pinoy Gentleman but find hard to speak tagalog. he lived in New York and decided to try to live on Philippines. His social status made him to stay in the apartment.

**personal view..he is really handsome and a very serious type of a guy. I also include him on my early bets coz he’s also a simple yet striking guy.

LATEST UPDATE:

he seems to be shy and silent coz no one in the Apartment talks to him. how poor and pity..but for sure, he’s one of the faces to watch out for.

8.)FRETZIE

-“Charming Angel of Cebu”

She has a killer smile that made the people around her be deceived. she’s not just a simple teen but she really has a lot of talents to look for. She can sing, dance, and she is also a pianist. She is very demure and beautiful. Right now, she is engaged in summer activities/lessons including volleyball, gymnast and cheerdancing.

**personal update..i really like her too. She is a talented teen to watch out for and she really explains through her looks what a wonderful lady is. :)

that’sit..the 15 teen housemates who entered the BB house on Lauch Night and counted as Day 1.

But it was not only a happy welcome night for the teens.. because Big Brother had already prepared their first weekly task.

Looks like Big Brother can’t wait to unleash his fury out at the new young occupants of his house. Imagine, the first night that the fifteen teen housemates stepped into his territory, he gave them their first weekly task ever!

The task called “Facebuko” (special task of getting to know the housemates of the opposing House) is where the two groups of teen housemates (one from Team Villa; another one from Team Apartment) will try to identify the other housemates on the other team(without physical contact) by matching certain clues that will be given to them in the coming days. (right names for the right faces) (remember,they not all yet meet) If by next Saturday one group is unable to get all the matches correct,(with at least one error/mistake on the matches) then one of them shall be evicted! Yes, evicted! See how heavy this task is? And what’s worse than that is that if the other group also fails to ace this task, also one from their group will have to leave the house! So, it is possible to have a double forced eviction! otherwise, there will be no eviction if both groups got it perfectly.

Those in the Villa were given cushy comforters on which to sleep, while those in the Apartment were meted with banig (rattan comforters).

To give you the first glimpse of the Teen Housemates on the BB House, here are some of the pics..

The prizes were also revealed:

BIG 4

4th Big placer will get Php 200,000

3rd Big Placer will get Php 300,000

2nd Big Placer will get PHP 50,000

USA’s Survivor 20 – Episode 7

Posted in Authors, Nemle's Blog, Survivor, Survivor 20 USA on April 10th, 2010 by Nemle

As I mentioned in my last blog…I’ve been sick with sinusitis. Well, it took a turn for the worst and I’ve literally been unable to do much of anything for about a week now. I’m fine now for the most part, so I’ll be doing this blog now and will have Episode 8 up either right after…or tomorrow. But no later. And you can expect me to be on the ball from here on. Wooo to healthiness! Hehe.

We jump straight to the Villains camp in time to hear Rob, Courntey, Sandra and Jerri complaining about Tyson leaving the game. Courtney then tears Parvs and Russell apart in her confessional.

Courtney! You’re wrong! Russell is a nice guy, right Rob?

Oh…well…can’t argue with the truth…

Russell, Danielle and Parvs are all laughing about how they survived and sent Tyson packing with a dramatic idol moment. Which, I’d be doing the same to be honest. Ha! But it annoys Rob, who I swear sounds like he’s about to cry.

Later in the day, Jerri joins the Russell 3 down on the beach, where Russell immediately starts working on her. And then…holy Survivor Quinton God!! Danielle speaks!! Parvs and Danielle join in on turning Jerri to join them. The thing is…they NEED Jerri. Jerri does NOT need them. She’s already in a majority alliance…they aren’t. So, in reality it would be stupid for her to side with them, but the way she was acting…she just might switch sides.

Over in the Heroes…ugh! Do I have to talk about them? We’re left with the biggest losers of the game…and Colby, who rocks. Ha! Not much happens really. Colby says in his confessional that he knows he’s gotta give the next chllenge his all to prove he’s worthy of staying around.

Time for a Reward Challenge!

It’s basically rough-housing basketball in the water. The winning tribe then goes to a waterfall and have a feast. Now don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an awesome reward. But like…did nobody stop to think if having a water based reward is what should be given in a water based challenge. Won’t they be wet enough by the end of it? If I were in the game and finished that challenge…I’d want to get dry, not wetter! Anyway, the Villains sat Courtney, Sandra and Parvati. Does Courtney partake in ANY challenge? Ha!

It’s pretty normal and expected for the most part. The only thing that is interesting in the first round is how lame Coach is in basketball. For real! He throws like a 5 year old blind child! No offense to the blind…or children. You both rock! Colby makes the first shot and grunts to show off his manliness.

In the second round Colby misses one, Coach is taken out by one of the ladies…and throws like a blind child again. It’s a game of pass the ball for a while until Candice gets the ball and makes the point.

In the thrid round, JT sprints to the ball before anyone is even near. Out of nowhere and for no reason, Russell and Rupert start trying to drown each other. JT get to the basket, tosses it to Colby and they score the final point. But that doesn’t stop Russell and Rupert, who continue to try and drown each other…even after everyone is celebrating. Like…don’t kill each other!

The Heroes go to their reward. The food looks so yummy! But not as yummy as the HII clue that Candice finds right off the bat. They agree to read it late, but Amanda walks over and actually tries to read it by herself…in front of everyone. Really, girl? They call her out and force her to read it out loud. Instantly, they all agree to look for the idol together and use it AS A TRIBE and use it AS A TRIBE. Oh please! Like that would ever happen!? People are too greedy!

Over on the Villains tribe, Russell sits on the beach with Jerri and Coach trying to convince them to join him in a F3 alliance. Jerri jumps in on the alliance, but Coach hesitates. Russell leaves them alone just in time for Coach to throw a pity party. I honestly ignored most of it. I can’t stand to hear Coach talk, let alone whine. So instead of me falling asleep, let’s just move onto…

Immunity Challenge!!

I remember this challenge from Africa. Not sure if it’s been done again though. They players are basically running across a net. Once they reach the other side they then climb a net to grab a bag of puzzle pieces. They then run back. Once a tribe has all their bags they then put a puzzle together. The Villains sit out Danielle, Jerri and Russell.

Rupert and Parvati are the first to run out. Rupert falls a few times, probably due to his toe. The next pair is Candice and Courtney. Courtney also trips like crazy. In the third run it’s Coach and Colby. Colby attempts to run on the side of the net, hoping the tension there will make the run easier. However, he fails. These 6 all run again and in the same order. It’s pretty much a copy of the first run. Same people who fell the first time…fall again and harder.

The Heroes have a huge lead when they get to the puzzle part. For the Heroes it’s JT and Amanda. Sandra and Rob do the puzzle for the Villains. In the past, the Heroes bomb in the puzzle part of the challenges and Rob dominates in them. But not this time. Heroes win! Hm. What has changed to make the Heroes win!? Oh wait. James is no longer around. Ha! Looks like it wasn’t Steph who was the cancer, James buddy. Hehe.

In the most amazing, hilarious and down right bold moves in Survivor history…when Rob asks Russell who he thinks deserves to go home…Russell says it should be either Sandra or Courtney…WHO ARE SITTING RIGHT THERE WITH THEM AND ARE IN ON THE CONVERSATION!! That’s right! He flats out says in fron of them both they one needs to go! Haha! Rob just laughs in his face, as would I.

Coach and Rob talk in private. Coach pleads to vote Courtney out. Rob claims Courtney is loyal and should stick around for that. They then give each other their words that they’ll both vote for Russell. Coach DOES indeed give his word! It’s on film! I say this…because Coach then runs to Russell and does the SAME THING!! Not right away. Russell and Danielle gang up on him sayign they already have 4 votes and that Rob is the biggest threat in the game. OMG! Danielle!? Again!? It’s a record! But he DOES give them his word he’ll vote with them. Coach. How can you keep both promises? It’s literally not possible as they contradict each other. Ha!

Jerri and ROb have an uncomfortable moment in the shelter where he tells her that she knows what is the right thing, but to do what she feels is right. Coach and Jerri then have a moment where she relays the same info to him, but exagerates it a tad to make it seem like Rob is fine with going. It’s enough to make you vomit, so let’s go to something that makes me happy…

Tree House Tribal Council…with a smile!

Coach points out at TC that Tyson was indeed the gap that kept the Rob 6 in tact and they are now falling apart. The Russell crew and Rob crew then go head to head. Rob and Russell go back and forth, puffing their chests out to show who is the bigger and better Survivor. Coach then makes a plea for them to stop their fighting and to work together and put the tribe first.

In the end it’s 4-3-1…

Rob leaves the game, calling Coach a “little man” as he attempts to hug Rob and is rejected.

Sadly, no interview that Rob did gave us any insight into the game or players that we don’t already know. All of them asked the same questions and he gave the same answers. Why did he call Coach a little man? Because Coach had the chance to prove what he claims day in and day out…but took the coward’s way out. Did he know he was going? Yes. Is he mad? No. What does he think of Russell? Similar mindsets, but with a Coach-like ego.

I’ll have the next episode up either tonight or tomorrow. Hope you all enjoy this one! Comment and tell me what you think!

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Of 2010 (Personal Update)

Posted in Authors, Big Brother, Carlex's Blog, Teen Big Bro 3 Philippines on April 8th, 2010 by carlex rol

Yipee!!.. i can’t wait for this season!..

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010 logo

Starting April 10, a new set of Teen Housemates will live for 10 weeks in the new Big Brother House. Updates were given since monday, april 5, giving the public for some hints about the incoming housemates and a little background on where they came from. well, a lot of speculations are now present about the “CLASH” on the subtitle. Some said that it has something to do with the ex teen housemates returning to challenge the new teen housemates. others were excited because they also thought that there is a possibility of the clash between the teen housemates and celebrity housemates. they thought that it will be a joint season..(well, it would be great if it is true).. but I think, it would only be possible if there will be enough time, and if it is said that this season will only have 10 weeks, well, it is not possible. There were also humors about two groups or a lot of groups that will clash on each other..(that’s great!) having each group a characteristic of a filipino Teen. But for me, clash has something to do with fight, a battle in each housemate towards the other one. (that’s my safe guess..)

the opening/launch night was titled as

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Of 2010:

Let the CLASH Begin!

(sounds like a school opening, interesting!)

well, lets all just watch and enjoy this newest and hippest Teen Reality Show of Philippines, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010.

TAR16 – Episode 08: “You’re like Jason Bourne, right?”

Posted in Amazing Race (The), Amazing Race 16 USA, Authors, Dan's Blog on April 5th, 2010 by Dan

So, I finally got to get back on track with watching TAR, after a bad schedule I’m going through. Only another month left, then we’ll waiting like almost forever for TAR17, though.

In this episode, the teams traveled from the island of Seychelles (which looked awesomly beautiful from the recap shown in the beginning of every episode) to  Penang, Malaysia. First, teams had to recieve their first clue from the Snake Temple. Then, in the detour teams had to either carry Joss Sticks to the top of a temple (Buddhist Tradition) or balance a large flag on their forehead, running 120 feet (Chinese Custom) in order to recieve their next clue. Then, in the speed bump, performed by Jet/Cord they had to sniff out the correct tea to serve to a guy on a swing. Then, in the roadblock, teams had to have one person smash several coconuts to find one with colored liquid, to build onto a small craft and have sent out to sea.

Here is a recap of how the teams did, in order of what they placed, and by overall opinion of them:

Jet/Cord: 1st – They started the race in last, and with a speed bump to do. All of the teams quickly made their way to the snake temple, they took a commanding lead by finding the flags at the Chinese detour and going a magnificent job, completing the detour with no problem. Then, they move onto the speed bump, which didn’t look like a huge hassel for them, completing that, and even the roadblock before any other team arrived. When they arrived to the pit stop, Phil tells them they are indeed team number one, also becoming the first Speed Bump team to reach first place in TAR’s history. I find them to be good racers at the tasks. Okay, maybe one mistake from episode seven through them off, but they did manage to pass that. So far, they’re still a pretty good team in my opinion, and I believe I may continue to root for them.

Carol/Brandy: 2nd – They left the pit stop in fifth place-which, ironically, this leg’s placing was in the reverse order of last leg’s placing. They were not thrilled to be going to  snake temple, which, I can’t complain, I wouldn’t be thrilled either. They were the leading team in going to the Buddhist temple, with Louie/Michael & Brent/Caite close by. They were second at the roadblock, thanks to a good taxi driver, and easily moved to the pit stop as team number two. Personally, they are in this rivalry with Caite/Brent, and it’s kind of annoying, there’s no real side to take. They just seem to under estimate Brent/Caite, which gets them ticked off. Also, I didn’t hear much complainting of these tasks, so, that’s a plus.

Louie/Michael: 3rd – They left the leg in fourth place, and have earned the nickname as the dads of the group, and it appears that they are on Caite/Brent’s side of the rivalry, where the other three teams show no signs of taking a side. Anyways, they raced a pretty good leg. They were the smart team for not getting out of their taxi, finishing the journey to the temple by foot. Whichever one of them completed the roadblock did so easily by finding the colored coconut liquid within two smashes. Louie/Micahael kept remaining in third from the time after the roadblock to the pit stop. They really seem like they also have a good shot of winning, which it’s unusual to see middle-aged, non-athletic dudes last this long on the race. I wouldn’t mind seeing them in thefinals, and I think they have the next best shot.

Brent/Caite: 4th – They started the leg in third, then kept a solid position in the front of the pack. They passed Carol/Brandy in the detour, which, they, especially Caite, were all hung up and extrmemly hungry for. Then, their taxi driver wasn’t very good, putting them into fourth place. Caite performed the roadblock, and I believe it was her who tried to pass off the coconut without making the craft. Brent/Caite arrived to the pit stop in fourth place, and didn’t seem very happy about it, but they said they’ll take it. Brent/Caite seem to be racing okay, and like I said, I’m not recieving enough information to be taking sides on their rivalry with Carol/Brandy, but I find myself likeing them, simply because they seem like nice people. I could also see them as candidates for the final three, with just about as much odds as maybe Dan/Jordan or Carol/Brandy.

Dan/Jordan: 5th – They started the leg in second place, and their biggest mistake was before arriving to thwe detour they decided to walk the rest of the way, avoiding their taxi being stuck in traffic, thinking they could get their faster. They completed the roadblock and detour in enough time to avoid being last, and did end up freaking out when their taxi driver stopped for gas. Hey, it’s either stop for gas now, or be staranded later. That’s probably what I’d try to think. They arrived to the pit stop in fifth place. I simply do like them and they both have good personalities, but everytime I see them, they are seen making a lot of mistakes. I’m not sure if I find them going to the final three, or getting even close to finishing top two.

Steve/Allie: 6th – They started the leg with first place, and without the bags they left with them at leg 7’s detour. At Malaysia, they were also the other team to walked from their taxi to the detour, and their other mistake was not figuring out how to do the flag detour, wasting time on their part. They arrived to the pit stop in last place, and were eliminated from the race. Steve/Allie seemed like a nice duo. I wish I saw more of them, and could’ve seemed to see them going to final three.

Right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jet/Cord & Louie/michael in the final three with any of the other three teams. I like all of the remaining teams, none of them really tick me off. I’m really hoping I get to watch next week, because it looks like Brent/Caite will do something to Carol/Brandy. Maybe U-turn them?

The Amazing Race 16 USA – Leg 7

Posted in Amazing Race (The), Amazing Race 16 USA, Graham's Blog on April 1st, 2010 by World of BB

Six teams remain. The leg starts off in France at the location of the leg 6 pitstop.

CLUE 1: Fly over 5,000 miles to The Sychelles, search for a marked kiosk, grap a number and the next clue.

Louie/Michael are first to depart at 12.35am. We are told that due to the remote location of the destination, all teams will be travelling on the same flight. Carol/Brandy are an hour behind leaving the start at 1.28am. Steve/Allie are third to set off at 1.57am with Jet/Cord at 2.36am. Jet and Cord can’t pronounce the name of The Seychelles correctly – Saykillies, Saychiles. Dan/Jordan are 3 hours behind the leaders at 3.36am. They also can’t pronounce the destination. Bizarrely most of the team don’t seem to have heard of The Seychelles. Last to depart are Brent/Caite at 4.36am.

Even though Brent/Caite arrived at the airport 4 hours after the leaders, they are the first team to book seats on the plane and they will be closest to the front. They are first off the plane and first at the clue box, taking ticket number 1.

CLUE 2: Go by helicopter to the Island of La Digue. The first 3 helicopters leave now, the last three leave 1 hour later. Steve/Allie get ticket 2 and Dan/Jordan number 3. Louie/Michael (4), Carol/Brandy (5) and Jet/Cord (6) must wait an hour.

Carol/Brandy arrogantly say that the strongest three teams are now all delayed by 1 hour and that Brent/Caite got lucky. I think they are talking out of their arses as Brent/Caite were just smarter to book seats closest to the plane exit. Other teams had up to 4 hours advantage on them but failed to do this.

After the helicopter ride, Brent/Caite are first to the next clue.

CLUE 3 Detour:
Turtle Toddle
(chosen by Steve/Allie & Carol/Brandy) – Using a banana, lure a 100 year old tortoise down a marked lawn then carry a large bunch of bananas 1.5 miles to receive the next clue
Ox Trot (chosen by Brent/Caite, Dan/Jordan, Jet/Cord & Louie/Michael) – Fill a large cart with coconuts without losing any. An ox will pull the cart to where they get their next clue.

Caite loses a coconut from the cart without noticing, They go off to the harbour. Steve/Allie complete the tortoise run and set off with the bananas. Dan/Jordan are piling up their cart. On the way to the harbour Steve/Allie overtake Brent/Caite who are having ox trouble. The trailing 3 teams arrive at the detour and Steve/Allie are first to complete the detour.

CLUE 4: Take a boat to St Pierre Island where they will be given the next clue.

Dan/Jordan overtake Brent/Caite who are still having ox troubles. Dan/Jordan are second to complete the detour. Brent/Caite are told they don’t have all their coconuts and must take their ox and cart back to the detour start. Brent is furious and says he’s quitting the race. Of course Brent doesn’t really quit and they head back for their missing coconut.

On the boat Steve/Allie realise they have forgot their backpacks. They decide to continue without them. They had their passports and documents but will have to run the rest of the race in the clothes they are wearing.

Carol/Brandy can’t get their tortoise to go in a straight line. Steve/Allie reach their next clue.

CLUE 5, Roadblock: Dive underwater and search for a submerged case of 7 bottles. Bring up a bottle and on-shore assemble a map that will lead them to the pitstop.

Steve decides to do the roadblock. Carol/Brandy give up on their tortoise and switch to the ox detour. Jordan is chosen to do the roadblock. At the detour, Jet/Cord make the same mistake as Brent/Caite and miss a coconut.

Steve/Allie arrive at the pitstop as team number 1 and each win $7,000. Dan/Jordan are team number 2.

Louie/Michael complete the detour. Carol/Brandy also make the mistake of leaving a coconut behind. Brent/Caite have now completed the detour. Jet/Cord are sent back for their coconut. Carol/Brandy are acting smugly until they are also sent back for their missing coconut.

Brent/Caite overtake Louie/Michael on the way to the roadblock and Brent decides to do the diving. Jet/Cord complete the detour and Carol/Brandy finish it in last place.

At the pitstop, Brent/Caite are team number 3, Louie/Michael are seconds behind as team number 4. Louie predicts that the final 3 will be Louie/Michael, Brent/Caite and Jet/Cord. They want Carol/Brandy to the eliminated next as they are too negative. Brent/Caite also want Carol/Brandy out next because they are rude and mean. They may all get their wish although whenever teams I dislike finish last it is always a non-elimination leg, so I’m not confident they will go.

Jet/Cord make another mistake and swim to shore leaving their bottle on the boat. At the pitstop they are told they are 5th to arrive. Phil asks how they found the pitstop, they answer that they jogged around until they found it. Phil sends them back to the boat to retrieve the bottle.

Jet/Cord can see Carol/Brandy ahead of them. Carol/Brady arrive at the pitstop and are shocked to learn they are team number 5 as they were certain they were last.

Jet/Cord are last at the pitstop but it is a non-elimination leg (as I predicted, teams I dislike that finish last don’t get eliminated).

Leg 7 was a leg of mistakes. 5 took hours too long to book the best seats on the plane. Three teams didn’t check they had all their coconuts at the detour, Steve/Allie forgot their backpacks and Jet/Cord forgot their bottle. If a team can cut out these silly mistakes they could go all the way in this race.

Leg 8 will see the teams going to Malaysia. Jet/Cord will struggle to get back in the race and a taxi leaves without them. I’ve noticed that in the previews, the producers try to leave viewers with a false impression of what will happen – so last week they made it seem like Brent quits the race when he actually didn’t. So this week they are making out that Jet/Cord will be eliminated next – I predict therefore that they won’t be the ones to go next.

My order
1) Dan/Jordan – I just find them really funny
2) Steve/Allie – A strong, solid team who are moving up my ranking
3) Brent/Caite – Entertaining to watch
4) Louie/Michael – Just an average team
5) Jet/Cord – At least this week they raced more without their stupid hats. I half expected them to dive underwater with them on.
6) Carol/Brandy – I agree with Caite, they are rude and mean.

Next week Dan should be back to guide you through leg 8.

USA’s Survivor 20 – Episode 6

Posted in Authors, Nemle's Blog, Survivor, Survivor 20 USA on April 1st, 2010 by Nemle

I first want to apologize for taking so long to get this up, readers. Been sick with sinusitis and haven’t been able to do much lately except sleep. Ha! But here we go!

The Heroes return to camp. Candice is sulking to herself. Not really sure why. James asks Colby if he wants a hug and is rejected. Really James? You expect someone to want to hug you when you’ve treated them like mud this 14 days? Stick to your apples and stop with the fake hugs.

The same night Russell and Rob have a man to man conversation in which they pretty much declare war on each other.

Everyone gets Tree Mail, but are confused by it. It’s sort of vague, not giving specifics on if it’s a Reward or Immunity. This smells of a twist to me!

Reward/Immunity Challenge Time!!

The Villains are stunned that James is still around. Danielle even calls him out, saying he must be in a strong alliance to still be here. Hehe. You’re so right! Wait! Danielle spoke!? So she DOES exist then? Cause I’ve been wondering…

Probst tells us that they’ll be competing as individuals against their own tribe mates. The 1 winner from each tribe will gain individual immunity…cause both tribe are going to Tribal Council! Poor Heroes! After each tribe has a champion, the 2 winners will then face off against each other for a tribal reward. The reward is hot dogs and sitting in on the other tribe’s Tribal Council.

The players are attached to a rope and must maneuver themself through a series of obstacles, being stuck to that rope. Getting to the end first is the goal. This challenge was done in Tocantins.

The Heroes go first, while the Villains watch. Despite his injured knee, James does quite well. He actually manages to get int he lead and stay there for quite a while. Meanwhile, poor Colby is still stuck near the start of the course. This isn’t helping his status any. However, it doesn’t really matter because Candice beats them all, taking individual immunity for the Heroes.

Next up are the Villains! Not much excitement with them. The men are all in the lead. The women are in the back, with Sandra at the start through the whole thing. Parvati does well and catches up to the guys, but Rob reaches the end first and claims immunity.

Showdown for Reward between Rob and Candice. Whoever wins this wins food for their tribe. With this course, they’ve made it more complicated. The course is now vertical as well. I would totally fail this challenge as I’m afraid of heights. No way would i be able to do flips like that 10 feet in the air. Gah! At the end of this though, Rob wins for his tribe.

Probst then tells them that the Villains will go to TC first. Whoever stays after their vote will switch to the Jury side and feast while the Heroes do their own TC. Seems messed up a bit I think. Villains win, but whoever goes will get 1 spot lower in placing than whoever gets the boot from the Heroes.

Most of the tribe gathers at the beach to hear Rob tell them how it’ll go down. They are to all vote for Parvs, but convince the Russell crew (which is Russell, Parvs and Danielle) that they’re really voting Russell. The old bait and switch tactic. But can they do it successfully and outsmart Russell? I dunno…but…

Rob has a talk with Russell, laughing at him saying if he doesn’t have the idol then he’s gone. Rob! That was like, lame! Even I wouldn’t have believed him. Russell is smart and didn’t believe it for a moment. He knew right away what they were planning.

Back at the Heroes camp, Colby tells everyone in the camp that he knows he’s going home and there’s nothing he can do. He then requests that everyone just be civil, have fun and give uo no information at TC for the Villains. He does it knowing it’s a lost cause and is being Colby. The nice guy.

James…UGH James! When will his bashing end!? He has literally bashed every player that has been in this game so far. He claims Colby doesn’t want to be here and is giving up. What!? James! Just…go away!

Meanwhile, the rest of the tribe is talking about what to do for TC. Amanda tries her best to defend James, saying he’s still stronger than anyone else. Ew. But everyone else is pushing for him to be the vote. FINALLY! James is a bully and I don’t like bullies. So, I personally hope he goes!

Amanda grabs James aside and tells him that he needs to prove he’s still physically strong and to stop taking extra bananas. Not sure where the bananas discussion comes from since it’s just now being mentioned. Haha. We then learn from Amanda of Banana Etiquette. This is when…you get a banana, you’re supposed to ask if everyone else wants one.

James then begs to have a race with JT. He wants to prove that he’s still the big man on campus and can still run with the best of them. While preparing we hear Rupert talking trash about Colby and praising James. I tried my best to ignore it honestly. JT beats James out of the water in the race. Ha! Not only that but the way James was running only proves he’s a handicap in this game. It was more of a limping jog than a run. As they walk down the shore back to camp, James asks JT if he wants a banana…

Over with the Villains, Rob decides that the newest plan is to split their votes with Parvati and Rusell. This is actually a brilliant idea which can only fail if someone in the 6 has a dumb attack. It’s a simple plan of: Rob/Sandra/Tyson will vote for Russell. Courtney/Jerri/Coach will vote for Parvati. The Russell 3 then cast their votes for Tyson or whoever. The vote is then 3-3-3. If the idol is played or not, there will be a tie. In the revote, everyone in the Rob 6 will then just all vote for one, sending that player home. Again, the only way to mess this up is if someone has a dumb attack.

Russell then pulls Tyson aside and tells him that even though it breaks his heart, he’s voting for Parvati. To me it was clearly a strategic move and not real. No way would he let Parvati go without a fight! I wasn’t quite sure WHY Russell was telling this kind of lie to Tyson until Tyson’s confessional moment. Tyson actually thinks about switching his vote to Parvati! What!? You have a perfect plan! Don’t mess it up, Tyson! Gah! My intuition is confirmed when Russell admits in his own confessional that he has no intention of voting Parvati. Ha! Russell is lying his tush off! Hehe. Huh Coach!?

Oh that’s right! Sorry I asked, Coach! Hehe. This TC should be a fun one, so let’s go to…

Villain Tree House TC Time!

Probst asks the Villains what elements in Survivor has changed since earlier episodes. Good question! Jerri replies saying that the actual surviving part isn’t as necessary as the social part is now. Rob answers Hidden Immunity Idols. Which is true. Rob is a three-peater, yeah. But both times in the past that he played, idols hadn’t yet existed. Rob then makes a comment saying that it effects votes, becuase you don’t know who will ever have one. Sandra butts in saying, “We all know who has it.” She flat out calls Russell, saying she thinks he has it and if he doesn’t then he needs to find it.

Probst asks Parvs what her take on Tyson is. She calls him out that he’s a huge threat because he’s so well liked not only by the Villains but by JT from the Heroes as well. Probst then asks Sandra the same question, but on Parvati. She says it’s her connections with those who played in Micronesia and are now in the Heroes tribe, meaning Amanda and James.

In the end it’s 4-3-2, with an idol played by Parvati…

Now, before we move on I want to give further details about how the idol is played. Notice the vote count is 4-3-2 and not 3-3-3? That’s because goof ball Tyson messed up and did indeed switch his vote to Parvati. What were you thinking, Tyson!? Now, with the idol itself…Russell stands up, pulls the idol out, walks over to Probst and stops. “No. Not this way,” he says. Russell then turns around and tells Parvati to come claim the HII and use it for herself. Ha! Man that girl knows how to play her men to get them to do anything! That with Russell’s flare for the dramatics, makes good TV.

The Rob 6 keep their smiles and Rob shakes his head as if Russell just made a bad move. But when the 4th Parvati vote is read, those smiles then change into confused fright. Right after it’s Tyson-Tyson-Tyson. The poor guy changed his vote and essentially sent himself out of the game.

In an interview with Reality TV World, Tyson tells us that his change from Russell to Parvati wasn’t done because Russell had lied to him. According to Tyson, it was a different conversation that wasn’t aired that played into his head. He had laid it out there for Russell what was to happen. Assuming Russell would play the idol for himself and the ladies would turn on Russell, he then felt it safe to vote Parvati and skip the revote process. In the same interview we also learn that Jerri has been wanting Rob out, but has stayed loyal only due to Tyson. Which, if this is true then we could see Jerri switching sides soon. Tyson also reveals that Sandra and Courtney were starting to get closer with Russell/Parvati/Danielle and hinted that the ladies +Russell might take over the game.

Heroes Tree House TC Time Now!

The Villains step to the Jury side and let the Heroes come in. They then start chowing down on some hot dogs. I must admit, they look good too. Ha! Rupert keeps his eyes on the food the entire time, while James gloats that it’s starting to rain and their food will get wet.

We then go to James and the big question of…will he be an asset still or no? He admits that he raced and lost to JT. After a brief Q/A with Colby, James then jumps in and bashes Colby. UGH! Here we go again! James points out that Colby is “old” and that it’s like finding out Superman is wearing a fat suit. In the process, he calls Rupert fat. Of course Rupert just laughed. No way I’d have let that pass by me. There would’ve been a fight. Ha! Then James randomly mentions the Banana Etiquette. What!? Where are the banana manners coming from!? Is Martha Stewart taking over the show or sending letters in on how to behave?

In the end it’s 5-1…

In an interview with Reality News Online, James admits that he has not nor feels he should apologize to Steph or Tom on how he treated them. In almost any interview I found, he claims he did nothing wrong and it was Steph/Tom/Colby who threw things out of proportion and it was Survivor’s editing that made him appear like a bully. Sorry to burst your bubble, James. But no amount of editing Survivor does can make you say something you didn’t say. You said them. You were rude. You were wrong. Grow up and be a man about it.

So what do you think, readers? Will the Villains tribe fall apart? Will any Heroes make merge? Was it smart to vote James out over Colby?

PINOY BIG BROTHER Teen Clash of 2010 (Teen edition 3)(my excitement!!!)

Posted in Authors, Big Brother, Carlex's Blog, Teen Big Bro 3 Philippines on March 27th, 2010 by carlex rol

Greetings!!!!

(–,) i can’t wait to blog about PBB Teen Clash of 2010.. well, i am so excited because of the previous success of season 3 (probably the 7th installment of Philippines’ Big Brother) and because of the news about the said edition. Only the Philippines and UK did the teen edition and i hope that the other country will follow and do the same edition ‘coz it’s great and nice to have teen housemates aging from 16 to 18 and taking the game so seriously..added to that is the different way of Big Brother handling teen housemates.. well, i know that some of you have no idea about Teen Edition of Philippines is done so here i am, with all my best to deliver to you the latest and all about the much awaited Summer Season of PBB..

..to tell you about a sort of history,, well, Teen Edition in our country is very extraordinary ‘coz the surprise twists and revelations of Big Brother is as much as the regular season and celebrity. yearly, summer season, (march to june in our country) we held Teen Editions. But the last two edition of teens was aired right after celebrity edition. this was the first time to have the Teen edition after the regular because of the date concerning the summer season. In Teen edition, housemates were young and playful making the audience so much interested to them. Every new edition, new batch of Teen Housemates became households’ favorite because of the great casting. in Teen Edition 1, (i think it was only a test, for it only ran for about 6 weeks)..it was a great show for the reason that young housemates really rocks.

pbb-teen-edition 1 logo

14 teen housemates entered the BB House with KIM CHUI as the Big Winner… well, nothing so especial happened on that edition coz what i’ve said, it was just a test if the public will like it..and yes,, it was a huge hit!.

Because of its success, it became a traditional edition every summer and PBB Teen Edition 2 is the edition to name.

a totally new and fully equipped with the shocking twists and surprises, Teen edition 2 became the huge and so far the best Teen Edition. a total of 17 Teen Houseamates entered, with 3 Houseplayers included(the concept of the Houseplayers was totally different with the concept of BBUS)..

pinoy-big-brother-pbb-teen-edition-plus-logo

with its subtitle “PLUS” ..the edition revolved around different “PLUS” to the season and additional rules to the game. Twists and secret tasks includes on its Live Launch Night, the 1st twist that was revealed was about the entrance of two teen housemates as a representative of their school. (here in the philippines, DLSU and ADMU are the two great university rivalry) ..one from the DLSU and the other one is from ADMU.. their intriguing task was to pretend BESTFRIENDS despite of their rivalry. (well, its really hard..).. they were successful, (as what i’ve remembered).

the Biggest Twist was the Biggest “PLUS” to the edition. it was the guardian/parent of the Teen Housemates to lived with them as they live on the BB HOUSE. at first, this was unknown to the teens.(it was a great show seeing the teens having no clue about their parents living right beside them, yes, they were neighbors.) while on the other hand, the parents were enjoying watching their son/daughter living in the Big Brother House.(they were monitored on a Plasma TV)

the purpose of the guardians was to guide and to add spice to the whole show. they also participated in some exciting task including the kidnapping of their children and exchanging houses. they also fight with their children as their partners in the weekly Immunity Game giving the winner the immunity from nominations. the guardians have also some arguments and not just cat-fights but huge and controversial fights with their co – parents.  some fights includes parent to parent fight, parent to a teen housemate, parent to their own son/daughter housemate and of all, the tandem of a mother-son and father and son fight(which became the most controversial and annoying fight inside the Big Brother House. the guardians/ parents were also get evicted through a Teen Council composed of the Teen housemates leaded by Robi. (the 2nd big teen placer) if the guardian/parent got evicted, his/her son/daughter’s stay in the house would not be affected. but the chance of immunity from nominations will also vanished as well. if the teen housemate got evicted, he/she will be joined by his/her parent. and just like the Teens, the guardians have also their Big Night, with Mang Erning(the father of the Big winner) emerged as the first Big Parent Winner. But it was totally different and separated from the Teens’ competition. the Parent Winner was decided by the public through Text Votes. But fortunately, it was also Ejay (son of Mang Erning) who happened to be the Teen Big Winner too. the guardian’s Big Night was held 6 or 5 (i think) weeks before the Big Night of the Teens.

..well, that was just a sort of review from the past teen editions, and i hope that this time, you’ll get the news and the latest trend about the said edition.

..to give you a bit of a teaser, the hosts of the show have already done their pictorial for the show and everything is ongoing of preparations.

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010 logo

Hosts of the show, (from left) MAriel, Toni and Bianca

the said edition would be definitely a great clash of Teen Housemates from 50,000 + auditionees from different part of the country as well with the other filipinos around the world.  this is also the first time to have a batch of teen housemates aging from 15 years (the youngest) and 18 years old (as the oldest)

they are really excited..

so excited!!.. if you have any questions about the Teen Edition either past or present, fell free to ask me and i am happy to reply..(–,)

By the way..as what i’ve heard from the news..PBB Teen Clash of 2010 will start on April 10, 2010. yeah!! it is the Live Launch Night of the show back to back with Pilipinas Got Talent.. waht a combination!!(–,)

thanks for reading!! (–,)

Good day!!

The Amazing Race 16 USA – Leg 6

Posted in Amazing Race (The), Amazing Race 16 USA, Graham's Blog on March 23rd, 2010 by World of BB

Leg 6 starts in France at the location of the Leg 5 pitstop. Seven teams remain in the race.

CLUE 1 – Drive 37 miles to Reims, France and find the Joan of Arc statue.

Louie & Michael are the first to depart at 7.47am. Steve & Allie leave 17 minutes later at 8.04am. Third to set off are Jet & Cord at 8.13am. Dan & Jordan leave at 8.17am, Carol & Brandy at 8.39am and Brent & Caite are 2 hours behind the leaders leaving at 9.48am.

Steve & Allie find the statue first and take the lead.

CLUE 2 – Teams are given a champagne cork.

Jordan & Jeff are the last team to start the leg at 10.28am. Jordan thinks that Joan of Arc carried all the animals, but Jeff points out to her that was Noah’s Ark.

Louie/Michael and Dan/Jordan arrive at Champagne and find the next clue at the same time.

CLUE 3, Roadblock – Rappel & Search. Rappel down 100 feet into the winery and search the champagne bottles for a specially marked bottle. Slice off the cork with a sabre to receive the next clue.

Jordan is chosen for the roadblock as is Louie. Jet & Cord have gone to the wrong town.

CLUE 4 – Taittinger. Teams must figure out that they have to go to Taittinger Chateaux in La Marquetterie.

Brent & Caite are still doing clue 1 but can’t find the Joan of Arc statue. Steve completes the roadblock in third place and Brandy does it in fourth. Jordan & Jeff are still last and have just found the statue. Cord is 5th at the end of the roadblock. Louie/Michael find the Taittinger Chateux and are in the lead.

CLUE 5 – Detour, Tower or Terra.
Tower – Use exactly 680 wine glasses to build a tower 15 levels high and fill the tower with champagne without breaking any glasses (Dan/Jordan, Jordan/Jeff).
Terra – Search an area 1 square kilometre for a tiny cluster of marked grapes (Louie/Michael, Carol/Brandy, Steve/Allie, Brent/Caite & Jeff/Cord).

Dan/Jordan are told that they have gone to the wrong town. Locals at the roadblock town are sending some teams to the Taittinger office in Reims (the town where they started the leg from) rather than the Taittinger Chateux.

Brent is doing the Roadblock as is Jeff. Steve/Allie arrive at Reims to find they are in the wrong town. Steve bumps the car which delays them further. Louie/Michael complete the Terra roadblock in first place.

CLUE 6 – Go to the pitstop at L’Orrea.

Jet/Cord arrive in Reims and are told they are in the wrong town. This is the second time they have gone to the wrong town in this leg.

Dan/Jordan decide to do Tower at the detour. Carol/Brandy do Terra.

Louie/Michael arrive at the pitstop and are team number 1. The win a holiday to Mexico.

Candy/Brandy find the grapes and are off to the pitstop. Steve/Allie decide to do Terra.

Brent/Caite are heading to the detour and see Carol/Brandy. They decide to follow them not realising that Carol/Brandy have done the detour. Brent/Caite arrive at the pitstop mat but are sent back to do the detour. Carol/Brandy finish the leg as team number 2.

The Terra detour seems to be the much quicker option. Steve/Allie complete Terra and leave for the pitstop. Jordan/Jeff are at Reim which is the wrong town. Brent/Caite choose Terra at the detour. Jet/Cord arrive 6th at the detour and also choose Terra.

Steve/Allie are team number 3 at the pitstop. Jet/Cord make up ground by completing the easier detour and reach the pitstop in 4th place. Brent/Caite are arguing about if they should switch detours, which they eventually decide to do.

Dan/Jordan finish their tower but have dropped from 2nd to 5th during the detour. Brent/Caite finish their Tower but it collapses when they pour champagne in it prompting them to switch back to Terra.

Jordan/Jeff arrive at the detour and choose Tower. Dan/Jordan arrive at the pitstop and are told they are team number 5, but they are not happy. Brent/Caite find the grapes and head off to the pitstop.

Jordan/Jeff’s tower collapses before they have even finished it and they switch to Terra. Brent/Caite arrive at the pitstop as team number 6.

Jordan/Jeff are search in the dark with torches. They eventually find the grapes but are eliminated from the race when they reach the pitstop.

Six teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

My Top 1 – Dan/Jordan
My Middle 3 – Louie/Micheal, Brent/Caite & Steve/Allie
My Bottom 2 – Jet/Cord & Carol/Brandy

Hopefully Dan should be back to blog for leg 7 which will see the teams heading for the Seychelles and Brent is shown saying he has quit the race (I highly doubt if he does quit the race that they would have shown that on the preview so I’m sure he will change his mind).

TAR16 – Episode 5: “I think we’re fighting the Germans, right?”

Posted in Amazing Race (The), Amazing Race 16 USA, Authors, Dan's Blog on March 18th, 2010 by Dan

I’m back, and I did get a chance to watch TAR on Sunday night, it’s just my dorm computer is not working right now, so I’m at the library.

Anyways, in this leg, teams had to go to recieve a piece of French bread, and see their clue inside the bread. Then, teams had to make their way to  field, where they had to work on a WW1-era detour, simply by either figuring out a message in morse code (In the Trenches) or go under barbed wire, through mud to recieve a message to see tied onto a pigeon (Under Fire). Then, teams had to make their way to a church where then they had to ride a bicycle four miles to the pit stop.

1st: Louie/Michael – They started the race in first place, despite having three bottom performances. They stayed in first pretty much the entire leg, and ultimately used the blind U-Turn on Joe/Heidi, saying that Joe needs to humble up some more, and not be so confident. They did indeed take another first place, but I feel the yield they used was more of a personal choice, mixed with a little bit of stategy.

2nd: Steve/Allie – They pretty much started and finished in second place. They started racing close to Joe/Heidi, up until Joe/Heidi were yielded. Other than actually racing, I believe Allie has been speaking more, but I don’t remember hearing anything from Steve. I don’t think they’re going to last, simply because of the edit they get, but they could always be the next Tyler/James or Rachel/TK.

3rd: Jet/Cord – They were moving up a spot, taking third place. They still seem like good racers, which this season seems to be lacking, so they look like this race could be for them. I deferentially see a good strong potential for them to get top three.

4th: Dan/Jordan – These guys seem to be a bit annoying, they seem to be bickering, and telling each other to shut up a lot. They raced pretty much in the middle of the pack, and stayed there. Than again, we haven’t seen much bunching-up and catching up in this leg anyways.

5th: Carol/Brandy – I can’t stand Brandy, she’s whiny, she was whiny during the whole detour. I would seriously love to do somethig like this, and it’s a bit hurtful to see someone cry over this experience. Not to mention, we hear Caite talking about them a lot, and it’s clear that Carol/Brandy and caite don’t like each other.

6th: Brent/Caite – They came straight to the pit sop s sixth to arrive, only to realize they were given a penalty, forcing them back to search  for the forgotton clueat the church they missed. They don’t seem to be very good racers, they seem to basically be living off of luck. That isn’t very impressive.

7th: Jeff/Jordan – They were pretty much in last the entire leg, and took forever to find the detour. They were decent for Big Brother, well Jeff was pretty good, but for TAR, they’re not so good. Jordan really seems to try, but not enough to actually catch up. Considering Jeff almost put the WW1 gun to his mouth, he seems frusterated with Jordan.

8th: Joe/Heidi – They were pretty much good racers, taken out just like how Amanda/Kris were in TARUS14. Thye were U-Turned, and couldn’t survive the Morse code detour, puttign them in last, and Phil eliminated them right at the detour. I could’ve seen them in top three, but the yield deferentially screwed them over.

This season hasn’t been as good as TAR14 & 15, it’s got basically on team to really want to see win, Jet/Cord. Allie/Steve are under edited, Louie/Michael turned me off, Carol/Brandy and Dan/Jordan are a bit annoying, and Brent/caite and Jeff/Jordan seem hopeless. Go Jet/Cord! tell me what you think!

USA’s Survivor 20 – Episode 5

Posted in Authors, Nemle's Blog, Survivor, Survivor 20 USA on March 18th, 2010 by Nemle

Upon returning to camp, JT gave a lame excuse as to why he took Cirie out, claiming he did what was best for the “team”. He even tries telling them it’s how she’s played in the past. To switch it up when merge comes. Um. What “Cirie” has he been watching!? Cirie has never betrayed her main allies and has never swapped come a merge. Anyway, the next morning he confesses to Amanda that he took Cirie out for personal reasons. In the same breathe he swears to Amanda he’d never turn on them. For once, Amanda is smart enough to realize he’s lying. Finally! I mean, JT has been acting like Coach this whole game by spreading lie after lie and deceit after deceit. Oh! but I forgot…

We join the Villains doing some Coach-wannabe “Dragon Slayer Chi.” Huh? I’d rather be slain. Everyone is doing it except Russell, who is out looking for the Hidden Immunity Idol…and of course…he finds it. Deja vu anyone?

Early Reward Challenge! Eee!

This was the same challenge Ben was removed from in Samoa. Basically, there are 3 from each tribe in a pit and 3 from each tribe on a platform. Those in the pit need to get the balls and pass them to those on the platforms. Once someone on a platform have a ball they then throw it in a basket. First tribe to 2 wins.

Winners get a feast of chocolate (cake, cookies, milk, etc.) and get to visit a beautiful watering hole. As a teaser, Jeff gives the castaways the chance to taste some chocolate. Everyone on the Heroes tribe snubs it off, none taking a bite. When Probst asked why, Colby said they don’t want the reward; they just want to get started so they can win. Come on Probst! You know he’s very anti-Hershey Bar! Probst takes it personal, as if he’s taking his spot light,  saying “I got the message, brother. We’ll go when I’m ready!” Ohhh no he didn’t! *snaps fingers*

The Villains sit out Sandra, Parvati and Courtney. The Heroes sit out Colby.

In the first round the Villains put Danielle, Tyson and Russell in the pit. The Heroes throw Tom, Candice and James in the pit with them. This leaves Jerri, Coach and Rob on the platform for the Villains and JT, Rupert and Amanda for the Heroes. The Heroes manage to grab all 3 balls quickly, but miss points. During a toss, James jumps too high and falls. Medical is called in and the man is pulled out of the challenge. His knee has buckled in and he’s unable to walk. The docs aren’t sure EXACTLY what is wrong, but figure waiting a day or two to see how he gets along will tell them more. What is with James and injuries!? He was pulled out of Micronesia for an injury…will he this time too? Ha! They continue the round, but Amanda quickly scores a point.

For round 2, those in the pit and platforms switch places. JT has a tight grip on a ball, but Rob wants it. So badly that he picks JT up and carries him over to the Villains platform to be attacked by every Villain in the challenge. Haha! This is why I love the Villains so much! In the struggle, Russell is pulled off the platform. Ha! Even better! Sadly though, Rupert gets ahold of the ball and runs with it. A bit later JT completely flips Coach, causing him to land on his head. I don’t like Coach but I felt bad for him just then cause that HAD to hurt. Eventually Tyson makes the shot, scoring 1 point for the Villains. It’s now 1-1.

The move onto the next round…but not before Rupert launches Jerri head first into a side poll. That’s right! After the point had been made and everyone is standing around doing nothing…the big man throws the woman into a poll…head first! Rob seeing this, reacts by tackling Rupert. I must admit…I’ve never liked Rob either, but the simple fact that he is willing to take on a man twice his size to protect a lady…lot of class and lot of respect right there! Rupert claims he didn’t mean to. I do believe him when he says it; in the heat of the moment and all that.

In the final round they switch spots again. Not much action this round. There are a couple moments of one player throwing to make a shot and an opponent throwing a ball to block the previous ball. But in the end Jerri scores for the Villains, giving them the win.

James is asked to stay behind for further medical check ups. They splint him up and see if he can walk. If he can then he can stay in the game. If he can’t then they’re pulling him. Annoyingly, they cut to the Villains eating their food before we even get to see anything else about James.

These Villains have soo much chocolate I’m surprised someone didn’t get diabetes after. No lie! They do get choco headaches, so I guess that’s close enough for me. But if one of them gets diabetes form it…ohhh…Survivor best be grabbin’ some lawyers. Ha! Here’s just PART of what they showed us. Imagine a table the size of 2 men. That’s about how much they had.

Most of the Villains go into the water, talking about how Russell needs to go. Meanwhile, Russell tells Parvati that he has the idol and she laughs. The Rob vs Russell war is getting started and I’m excited to see it all play out. Hehe.

Then oh lordy! This next bit. I don’t even know how to describe it. Coach is a fool and should be embarrassed. Russell is arrogant and needs reality snapped into him. Russell tells Coach he has the idol and makes a deal with Coach. Seeing this as honorable and worthy of his trust, Coach instantly loves Russell and actually BOWS DOWN AND ASKS TO BE KNIGHTED!! WHAT!? AND THEN RUSSELL DOES!! WHAT!? For once I’m stunned and speechless! Okay…so I’m not speechless. Hehe. But this is totally idiotic! I laughed for hours though.

I  swear I feel like I’m in some sort of SciFi movie. The Villains tribe is made up of King Russell, Sir Dragon Slayer, the Robfather, two Black Widows and the Invisible Woman. That last one would be Danielle, cause I still keep forgetting she’s even in the game. But what’s with all the nicknames?

Back at the Heroes camp, Amanda is having a fit about James not being here and not winning the challenge. I truly believe she’s sincere with James and that she really does care. I just think the way she handles it is tacky and over the top. The tribe all talk for a while on whether or not they think he’ll be coming back or not…only to discover that James is walking down the beach, on his way home. Amanda gets so excited that she literally runs like a child in a candy shop! Jumps on him and cries her eyes out. Amanda! Why you jumping on the man who just got hurt! THINK BEFORE ACTING! Oy!

It then becomes an instant worry. He’s barely able to walk. He won’t be able to perform in the challenges or at camp. He’s essentially dead weight now.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE TIME! WOO!

I do know that this one was in All-Stars, but I could’ve sworn I’ve seen it in other places. If you know which…make a comment letting us know!

They choose one player to be a caller. Everyone else will be paired up and blind folded. Being led by the caller, everyone goes out to collect large puzzle pieces then brings them back to their tribe’s large mat. Once a tribe has all their puzzle pieces they then put it together. First to do so wins.

Heroes chose James as caller for obvious reasons. Villains chose Jerri as their caller. I find this a tad ironic since she was a caller for a similar challenge in the Australian Outback and they lost. She got a lot of negative heat for it too. However, if anyone goes back and re-watches it…you’ll see that Jerri never actually did anything wrong in that challenge. Colby ignored orders and Keith was just dumb. I’m getting sidetracked again! Gah!

For the most part nothing all that interesting happened. Rob tried carrying back a wrong piece. There were a lot of bang ups and people screaming to be helped by their callers. Sandra somehow gets caught up in some weeds.

Per usual, the Heroes dominate the physical part and take a huge lead. And as usual, fall apart in the puzzle section…ending with the Villains winning the challenge.

The smart thing to do is to vote out James now. He’s dead weight! But when has this tribe used their brains, right? Candice declares that’s the dumbest move, but Rupert replies by saying “If that’s the criteria, you should’ve taken me out.” I was yelling that at the TV for like…3 weeks. Ha! He’s in an alliance and that alliance has the say. Simple as that. But we do see everyone scrambling to try and figure out who it will be. James or Tom? Only one place to go to learn the answer.

TREE HOUSE TRIBAL COUNCIL! Hehe!

Probst instantly asks James how he’s doing; James is okay. Probst then asks Rupert his opinion, stating “My niece could be James in a race right now.” Which is probably true, since James literally can’t walk without limping. James instantly gets upset and retaliates on Probst, claiming he can beat him and his niece WITH the brace. I despise James more and more. He’s become arrogant and a bully since the game has started. I don’t get what he’s thinking!

When asked about the puzzle, James AGAIN has to be a bully. He decides to pick on Tom and Candice, blaming them for the loss in the puzzle. James! You ALL suck! Get over it! It’s sickening. But when Tom calls him out as being safe tonight not because of his physical ability but because he’s a simple vote in the large alliance…both Amanda and James argue, trying to turn it on him. Their argument makes no sense either. Amanda claims that Tom tried voting her out for being weak. Um. You ARE weak Amanda. And he isn’t denying that. What did that have to do with this TC!?

In the end it was 5-2…

In an interview with Reality News Online, Tom admits that he had two downfalls in this game. The first was not hooking up with Cirie earlier in the game, instead of butting heads. His second mistake was letting pregame rumors and whispers effect his view on players such as JT and Cirie. I must agree that if he and Cirie had teamed up early on…both would still be in the game and in control. Part of me is surprised it never happened.

So what did you guys think of this episode? Who should’ve been voted out? Tom or James? Could James beat Probst in a race with his injury? Could he beat Probst’s niece? Tell me what you think!
