Survivor 46 Finale

 OMG....I mean, I can't even.....

(deep breath)  Okay, here goes.

Final 5:

Ben, Maria, Charlie, Kenzie, Liz.

Challenge:  Major obstacle course, with finishing the puzzle reveals the clue to unlocking the gong clanger.

Kenzie and Maria race through the puzzle first, but K is stumped about the # of holes on her plank. Liz, far behind, races back to get her plank and helps K out, just beating Maria.

Tribal Council:  Maria voted out, 4-1.  She gets standing ovation and hugs from her tribemates.

Final 4:  Ben, Charlie, Kenzie, Liz

Liz, Kenzie, Charlie all practice fire.

Liz is getting on my last nerve.  First of all, she's allergic to EVERYTHING!  Why the hell the producers even let her go on the show is beyond me!  Can't eat chicken, coconut, citrus, pasta....but rice and popcorn and beef are okay (she admitted she eats burgers at Applebees, and the night Jeff brought popcorn, she was able to eat it). NOW, the issue is her wrists.  Her ligaments are too large for her body, which makes her physically hard to hold the knife?  And, she reminded Ben she's got money, so she doesn't NEED the prize money!

Not surprising, Ben tells her he's choosing her to make fire, which makes us subjected to Liz moaning and groaning, and saying 'Fudge' as she tries.  *eye roll*

Tribal Council:  

Ben chooses Charlie to go to the end.  Now there's Kenzie vs Liz.....and Kenzie comes out on top!  She's very relieved and grateful....Liz blows a raspberry and hides her eyes as Jeff snuffs her torch, then cries as she leaves.  In my eyes, that's a sore loser attitude.  At least she'll be able to go to Ponderosa, shower, and eat a decent meal for the 1st time in over a MONTH!

Final 3:  Kenzie, Ben, Charlie

And the winner is.......

                                                     Kenzie, 5-3!

But only because she's been on her own since she was 15.  That swayed a lot of votes.  Charlie wanted to use his to pay for law school and to set up some non-profits.  Ben didn't even get a vote.

Life In Lumber: Y6, W13

 Day 53: Sunny, high 80s

Arrived and discovered Alice had called in. Took over for Kem and was fairly steady for an hour. Did the prelim duties at 4, and began sweeping the floor around 5:30. DS Kari sent me to lunch at 6, and when I returned. continued sweeping. At 8:30, pulled the trash. Did my LU and AP4Me, plus sanitized the coffee bar. Locked the doors at 10 and after ASM SCh cleaned me out, I returned items to Tools and Aisle 21. Took the trash to the hopper and put up my vest.  Since I'd gotten a credit app, punched the tree and won a chicken doggy toy. Proceeded to smack Conrad with it for working SCO instead of Lumber, lol (we were ridiculously short-staffed tonight!). Clocked out at 10:30

Outfit:  Gray LU tee, cut off capris, silver bell/knots

Day 54: Sunny, low 80s

Arrived and took over for Kathy. Alice went to break. Was fairly steady; had already done my LU while waiting to clock in. Got to see former Loader Austin Mc. First I hugged him, then I smacked him for leaving so abruptly! Took a pit stop before Alice left, then did the prelim duties, found my dustpan, and had the place swept by 7:30. Had mats mucked by 8, then talked on the phone with Erica for 40 mins before realizing I'd not been sent to lunch yet! Pulled trash, and at 9:30, Theresa came down and gave me a pit stop break. Went to Receiving to get trash bags, and also returned items to Plumbing and Electrical. Alice showed me how to do returns (scan receipt, key in item #s and print receipt). At 10, locked the doors. Loader Joey brought in the concrete; Loader Conrad took the trash. Put up my vest after closing the garage door. Clocked out at 10:30.  HC Britt apologized for forgetting me.

Outfit:  Black lace tee, cut off capris, silver diamond-shaped danglies

Day 55: Cloudy, high 70s

Arrived and took over for Jeremy. Alice took her break; was mildly busy. I took my break at 4:30, and when Alice left at 5, was fairly steady for 30 mins. Did the prelim duties and began the soda count. Austin sent me to lunch at 6:30, and when I returned, began sweeping. By 9, Austin had brought the soda. I'd gotten the entire floor swept, the mats mucked, and the registers and coffee bar sanitized. Put away the soda, then did my LU. Locked the doors at 10; ASM Charlie brought in the concrete and Loader Conrad took the trash. Returned items to Plumbing and Tools and put up my vest. Clocked out at 10:25.

Team Orange

Team Girlfriends

Team Firefighters

Derek and Shelisa

Team K&K....eliminated.  Karishma couldn't put her skateboard together.

Episode 6:  Argentina and Megaleg!

1st challenge:  Only 3 teams were able to 'rope' the cow; the others went for the bicycle/recycling challenge.  Teams Mom/Son, Orange, and Nurses worked together with navigation and the challenges, which was a good strategic decision at this time, since they're in the front of the pack, and the goal is to SURVIVE the Megaleg, not exactly to WIN it.

RB:  Team Boyfriends struggled with remembering the race car map; got it after 4 attempts; Team Pilot got it on 1st try. If they just focus, they'd realize it's a PUZZLE; you don't actually have to MEMORIZE it (I think, anyway??); Team Mom/Son thinking about taking the penalty, due to Mom's carsickness, but got it with Nurses' help.  Then Nurse helped Team Orange, so they all were onto the next one:)  Girlfriends and Firefighters got it soon after. Team D&S got it after 7 attempts!

Bubble Soccer!!  Pilot got it 1st try; Boyfriends finally get it after realizing he can knock down the other team:) Firefighters and Nurses did it; then Orange, Nurses, and M/S. D&S got it 1st try:)

Nurses: Got it 1st try!

M/S:  Got it 5th:)

FF: Got it 6th!

Team Firefighters are hopelessly lost!

Pilots decide to do the seaweed.

B/F finish first

Pilots finish 2nd!  2 1/2 wheelbarrows to fill the barrel:)

Nurses 3rd, followed by the G/f. Team Orange doesn't realize they're missing their corner supports. Finally, they get it, but get stuck in the mud. Finish 5th.

Team Mother/Son Eliminated

Amazing Race 2024 Ep 1-4

 I managed to watch AR 2021-23 without having to post anything, but now I just can't keep my fingers quiet, and I'm only on Episode 2!!  My only 'issue' with 2023 was Anna Leigh constantly yelling at her dad, and making stupid mistakes in her rush.  They ended up 4th.

1) Maya and Rohon 1st couldn't figure out directions in Puerto Vallarta, and not surprising, were last to the mat.  Although, that surprised me that they were eliminated, since Phil told the others they were still racing.  If they're not done, then wouldn't they have had another chance??  But oh well....I found them annoying, so yay rah.

2) Kishori and Karishma:  OMG they're annoying also. Kishori doesn't take the time to READ THE DAMN CLUE in the 1st leg, but was fortunate enough she only had to put on a bandana to jump through the lariats again.  But now, in #2, they first can't find the bridge to get their detour clue, and end up at the Roadblock....but thankfully another team made the same mistake, and another team INFORMED them of that mistake. So both teams eventually found the Detour.  Now K&K can't find the purple balloons to complete their task, and are waaaaaaaayyyy off course.  I really hope they come in last on this episode!

3) Team Double-Dutch:  At least they're making up time from their mistake ^^^^^ and are making smarter decisions than K&K.  They've got potential....though I don't remember seeing them in the one episode I watched last month.  I could be wrong......

4) Twins:  I like these two, though I think they get eliminated in the episode I watched last month.

5) Team Firefighters:  I like them.  They work well together.

6) Team Pilots:  So far, they're doing well.  No drama.

7) Team Mother/Son:  I like the way he helps out his mom, and she's encouraging to him.

8) Derek and Shelisa:  Very supportive of each other, and I think this is the team that almost tapped out when they had to go down a steep hill in last month's episode.  S talked D down and was respectful of his fear. EDIT:  I was wrong; Double-Dutch is the one with the heights fear.

9) Girlfriends:  So far, they're working well together.

10) Team Father/Daughter:  OMG, take off the damn masks!  You don't need 'em, the pandemic is OVER!  Someone PLEASE tell them that running around with a damn mask on in the heat will make it WORSE for their health?  The only time teams had to mask up in 2020 was at the mat?  After challenges?  While on the plane??  I don't even remember....They get eliminated, and I have a question:  If they live in a ONE BDRM APARTMENT, where does Mary sleep?  Surely they don't sleep in the same room?  Or is it like the TV show Alice, and one of them sleeps on a pullout couch in the living room?  So strange....

11) Boyfriends:  So far, they're working well together.

12) Team Orange:  She's annoying; a Chrissy Teigan lookalike, and he's a former NFL football player. So far, they're working well together, but she needs to lay off the damn makeup and posing 'just so' for the camera.

Episode 3:  Columbia  I already watched this, so only watched the ending to refresh my memory on who was eliminated.

Order of Finish:

Team Boyfriends

Team Nurses

Derek and Shelisa

Team Pilot

Team Orange

Team Girlfriends

Team Firefighters

Team K&K

Team Mother/Son

Team Double-Dutch

Team Twins.....Eliminated.  Too bad; I liked them.

Episode 4:  Columbia

The world is smaller than you think...answer to the Rebus puzzle.  Cracking up over some of the guesses!  The firefighters are SO off track....then they switched and got the dance on the 1st try.

Art Sculpture task:  Karisma and Michelle have NO idea how to read a map....Thankfully, Sunny figured it out!

Team Boyfriends

Team Nurses

Team Mother/Son

Team Orange (bickering all the way; Rod isn't listening to Letitia)

Team Pilots

Derek and Shelisa

Team Girlfriends

Team Cousins (after 18 tries!)

Team Double-Dutch eliminated.  Not sure if Michelle solved it or not; they showed 19 tries.

Team Firefighters

Life In Lumber: Y6, W 12

 Day 49: Sunny, mid 70s, rain pm

Arrived and took over for Alice. Did the prelim duties, AP4Me, and LU. Did the soda count. Deja sent me to break at 8:40, and when I returned, realized I'd forgotten to empty the coffee carafe, so asked D to wait 5 more mins. Then I finished sweeping, sanitized the registers and coffee bar, pulled the trash. ASM Ian brought in the concrete; I locked the door. HC Britt cleaned me out; I ended up taking my trash to the receiving hopper, since Ian had already taken ours.

Outfit:  Red JHS tee, long capris, Yukon Colors.

Off tomorrow for choir practice:)

Day 50: Rain, low 70s

Arrived just as it began pouring rain; was slow entire night. Did prelim duties and was sweeping by 6; did my LU; mucked the mats at 7, sanitized the registers and coffee bar at 8.  Took my break at 8:30, and when I returned, I pulled trash and fronted the soda. Locked the doors at 10; Loader Joey has his forklift license, so he brought in the concrete. HC Britt cleaned me out; returned items to Hardware and Aisle 1, then took a broken cart to Receiving. Put up my vest and clocked out at 10:30. D took me to Denny's!!!

Was called in at 3, b/c Alice called in. Was freakishly busy until 5, but still managed to get the soda count finished by 5. Did the prelim duties and LU; swept the floor. Kait sent me to lunch at 7:30 and when I returned, all I had to do was pull trash, muck the mats, and sanitize the registers and counters. Put away the soda. Conrad brought in the concrete; HC Britt cleaned me out; took the leftover soda (I'd miscounted the frappes) up front and put up my vest.  Clocked out at 10:30.

Outfit: Indian Motorcycle tee, faded jeggings, treble clefs

Day 52: Cloudy, low 70s

Arrived to find Mgmnt had made hot dogs, chili, cheese, chips, and cookies for us. Things were steady for 2 hours, then slowed way down. Did the prelim duties and was sweeping by 5:30/ One customer was irritated and was tossing down the PVC pipe; I nearly got hit a couple times. Was sent to lunch at 7:30; first I returned items to Electical, Plumbing, and Paint, and talked Matt into taking the flowers back to OSLG. When I returned, Nanette arrived and brought cinnamon rolls, and I gave her the itinerary and we chatted about the trip. Final customer left at 9:45; I pulled the trash and wiped down my counter and the coffee bar. Locked the doors; Loader Joey brought in the concrete; Loader Charles took my trash.

 Day 44:  Rain, then sunny and mid 70s

It began raining as soon as I got out of the car, and was pouring when I clocked in. Fortunately, it didn't last, and I took over for Katelyn. At 4, did my LU, AP4Me, the prelim duties and the soda count. Got sent to lunch at 5, and when I returned, began sweeping.

Off tomorrow for choir practice!

Day 45: Rain, low 80s

Arrived and took over for Kem, then Alice and I began trading customers, we were so slow.  I decided to go on a soda run, which took me up until 4 to track down the Diet Coke (in receiving!), then to fill the meager count. Customer A came up and asked if we had any 1x6x8s; I looked it up; we had 300.  Alice looked up the placement; Aisle 50, bay 13.  I took him down; none of the signs said it.  I even looked in other bays; couldn't find it.  We DID locate some in top stock; I went back and called for a forklift driver.  Finally Pro Jeremy arrived; went back and found it in a mis-marked bin.

Alice left at 5; I was sent to lunch 20 minutes later, just as the downpour began. When I returned, we only had a few cars in the lot; I began sweeping and doing the prelim duties, plus my LU.  Found out I'm getting vacation pay for my ENTIRE NYC trip!  Whoot!  Customer B and I got on the subject of pets.  DS Kari brought down a box of lollipops and asked me to count them.  Dumped them in a bucket, then counted by 50s as I dumped them back into the bin.  Total was 342....then Conrad bought one. Customer C brought a LOT of stair rails, but had no clue how many.  Got another cart and began counting.  Grand total:  125!  Mucked the mats, sanitized the coffee bar, locked the doors at 10.  Conrad brought in the concrete; I shut the garage door and put up my vest.  Clocked out at 10:30.

Outfit:  Gray Purdue tee, long capris, small gold textured hoops

Day 46:  Sunny, mid 70s

Arrived and took over for Kem; Alice went to break. Things were slow; checked out the occasional customer.  When Alice left at 5, I did the prelim duties, fronted the soda, and did my LU.  Actually got 7/7 today!  Swept the floor, and was sent to lunch at 6:30.  Came back and finished sweeping, put away some snacks, sanitized the registers, and pulled the trash. Finally saw Gil and gave him the book he wanted:)

Had two irritating customers:  A held up the glue; I scanned it; he put it on the counter.  After scanning his lumber, I went back to my spot, picked up the glue, and he said, "You already scanned that."  "I know; I'm putting it in the bag."  (duh!)  B came in and said they had an order to pick up.  I told them FIVE TIMES to go to CS; she finally did after the 5th.  Geez....

Locked the doors; AJ brought in the concrete and took my trash; I closed the garage door and after HC Britt cleaned me out, put up my vest.  Clocked out at 10:40.

Xavier chooses Azah to watch the screening of CSI Vegas:)

Round #4:  Azah earns a strike.

Round #5:  Azah earns her 2nd strike and is out.

Round #6:  Derek earns his 2nd strike and Xavier wins POV!

Yo, Azah.....you're finally opening your mouth, but Big D's right; you've done NOTHING but win ONE COMPETITION!  Keep it up and you're gonna find yourself headed to jury.

Ugh.  I just want to sweep Claire, SB, and Hannah's hair out of their faces!!!!

Eviction Night:

Xavier keeps the nominations the same.  Big D evicts KYLAND!!!!  See there?  "I vote to evict' FINALLY came out of your mouth!!  Where was it the rest of the show?

Ky, Ky, Ky.....you just couldn't keep your mouth shut?  And accept your defeat gracefully?  I honestly thought for a moment you and X were about to come to blows.  Not cool, dude.  Not cool AT ALL, to try to hold his nephew over his head like that.

Week 12:

Azah, you're about to fall out of your dress.

X....ummmm....you're lucious in that Lucious look!  You know you're going to win, right?

Girl, the way you've played, you're only going to #2 if X goes back on his word to Big D.  AND....I want you to make music!  You have an AWESOME voice!

D, yes, you're a social butterfly, but you haven't won ANYTHING!  What makes you think you can win a mental and physical final?

HOH Comp, Pt 1:  Endurance Comp:  Holding onto Your Boat!

X;  Riding it like a broncho

D and A:  Plastered against it, using their arms and legs to hold on.

Big D falls off 1st.

Azah tries to readjust herself and falls off.

America's Fave Houseguest:  Derek X or Tiffany?   Tiffany!!

BB2021: Weeks 9 and 10

 Week 9:

HOH Comp:

Derek F and Alyssa were the 1st two to fall off; then Claire drops, having to throw it, since she's the secret HOH.   All 3 are now Have-Nots for the week.

Hannah falls off, followed by Xavier, Azah.  Tiff was supposed to throw it to Kyland, but she still hangs on.  Ultimately, Ky falls off.  Tiff gets HOH two weeks in a row, due to be 'dethroned' by the 'anonymous' HOH last week, Claire, who couldn't even take advantage of the perks.

Nominations:  Alyssa and Xavier

POV:  Tiffany, Alyssa, Xavier, Hannah, Derek F, Azah

Alyssa wins:)  She takes herself off and Tiff nominates Claire.

Does Claire have a zit problem???

Eviction Night:  Double Eviction Night!!!

Claire is evicted, 4-1

HOH Comp:  Hannah wins!

She nominates Alyssa and Xavier

POV:  Hannah, Alyssa, Xavier, Tiffany, Derek F, and Azah

Xavier wins!  Takes himself off the block.  Hannah puts up Kyland.

Eviction #2:

Alyssa is evicted, 3-1 (X voted Kyland)

I now see why Kyle (BB2022) was worried about the 'certain group' becoming another 'cookout situation'!  I thought it was a group formed around an actual cookout, not just a secret alliance that worked BRILLIANTLY!  Normally, any 'named' alliance usually disintegrates over a week or two, but these 6 had EVERYONE completely fooled.  NO WONDER Kyle was paranoid, though I'm wondering why his thinking out loud was considered 'racist'?  Guess I'll never know.  The sensitivity police were working overtime....

I'm still confused....isn't Kaycee considered a 'person of color'?  She won against Tyler a few seasons back.....

Week #10:

HOH:  Kyland wins:)  Big D was sooooo close!

He nominates Tiffany and Hannah.

POV Comp:

Big D:  14.05

Azah:  20:22

Tiffany:  Timed out

Hannah:  14:06

Xavier:  20:56

Kyland:  11:44 and WINS!

Ky decides not to use it.

Eviction Night:  Another double eviction!

Oh Ms Chaddah....PLEASE take your hair out of your eyes!!!!

Tiffany is evicted, 3-0.  Derek, how hard is it to say 'I vote to evict...'?  

HOH:  

Xavier and Azah (!) face off in round 2!  I thought Hannah was going to beat her.

Azah wins, 5 balls to 3:)
