The finale of the Amazing Race 13 is finally here and its time for one of the final three teams to win. While they came into the race separated, Ken and Tina found themselves again on the race. Dan and Andrew have always had trouble be always used their luck to make it to the end. Nick and Star are obvious competitors, six first places put them in a good spot to win but really its anyone’s game. Still in Russia the final three teams learned their final destination was Portland, Oregon. All were happy that they were going home and they all were able to gain the same airplane, putting everyone equal for the final leg. Arriving in Portland everyone was off to the first task with Ken and Tina arriving first. The Detour was either high and dry or low and wet. In High and Dry they had to climb a tree and then walk through the hair on beams. Low and Wet the teams had to walk across a floating log bridge. Ken and Tina chose to climb the trees, hoping it was the faster route.

Nick and Starr arrived next and also chose high and dry. Dan and Andrew’s luck didn’t follow them from Russia as they got a bad taxi, putting them on the wrong route right away. Ken/Tina and Nick/Starr started doing the challenge around the same time. Ken and Nick easily grabbed the clue with Tina having some issues. We know she’s afraid of heights, allowing Starr to catch up. While Tina played with her helmet, Starr was able to get the last part of the clue, sending them on their way and into first place. Their next location was to the Bridge of the Guards, they were off while Tina still walked the trees. She had issues jumping for the clue, but finally did so, putting them back into the race. With both teams done, Andrew and Dan finally showed up. They decided to also do high and dry but still being behind they had to pick up the pace. They finally finished and all teams were racing to the bridge.

Lost Bag Forces Fan Favorite Out Of Amazing Race 13

Posted by REALITY REHASH on November 30, 2008 under Amazing Race, CBS | Be the First to Comment

Last week a non elimination leg saved frat boys Andrew and Dan. This week there was no saving the final four teams as they embarked on their second to last leg. The teams remained in Moscow, Russia and their first task was to find a submarine. Toni/Dallas, Ken/Tina, and Nick/Starr all found the submarine at the same time. They searched inside for the actor who filmed a movie inside the submarine and all found the man at the same time. After receiving their clues it was off to a Fallen Park for the next Road Block. Dan and Andrew arrived last and were there alone. After finding their clue they went to the streets for a taxi where a truck splashed water all over them. They weren’t too upset though as it isn’t the worst that’s happened to them on the race. They knew it was only a matter of time something like that would happen and hoped that was the last for the day.

In the Fallen Monument Graveyard it was time for the Road Block. Nick and Starr arrived first and read the clue. It was probably the hardest task in any Amazing Race as they first had to solve a number puzzle, counting the number of Lennon and Stalin heads in the grounds. They then had to find a bookstore, give the woman the number and receive a book. After getting the book they then had to use the page number, 62, to find a clue to the author of the book’s house. There they would get their next clue. Nick found most of the clues early and was off to the bookstore. Dallas and Tina were doing the challenge around the same time and both were foreshadowed for losing their passports. Dan and Andrew arrived last after going to the round park. Who would of thought they would of done that? While the other three searched for the clues, Nick found the book and was on his way to the author’s house. Dallas was the next to try the bookstore and guessed wrong with 36. Nick was the first to find the building, allowing he and Starr to move on and the others still doing the Road Block.

Frat Boys Saved By Non Elimination On Amazing Race

Posted by REALITY REHASH on November 23, 2008 under Amazing Race, CBS | Be the First to Comment

From Kazakhstan to Russia, the teams race, fight and have some overall craziness. After leaving the Pit Stop all the teams met up in the airport. There flight didn’t leave until the morning so it gave a nice equalizer for the final four teams. Dallas and Starr continued their romance in the airport once again. Nick didn’t seem phased though as he thinks Dallas won’t let the relationship hurt the game. Dan and Andrew also had some fun in the airport and a few laughs at their expense. Last episode they left their shoes at the Detour, forcing them to steal slippers from the hotel At the airport they found a shoe store that is open 24 hours a day. They each bought a new pair of sneakers but at a higher cost then they had hoped. The two didn’t have very much money to begin with and heading to Moscow they realized they could be in some trouble.

Landing in Moscow the teams raced for taxi’s. Dan and Andrew were the first to get one while the others follwed. Although they were the first two out, Dan/Andrew and Ken/Tina had issues with their taxi drivers, letting the other two teams get ahead. At the Moscow Monastery they were asked to first light a candle before receiving their clue. The clue told them to head to a Russian Military Base for their next task. Dan/Andrew finally found the monastery followed close behind by Ken/Tina. Toni and Dallas were first to make it to the military base and found it was a Detour. They had to either march with a crew or serve food to 75 military guys. Toni and Dallas quickly finished the marching Detour, putting them in first and in front of Starr/Nick. Ken/Tina and Dan/Andrew arrived at the same time and both chose to do the marching task. Andrew had some issues getting his socks on so they decided to switch Detours. Only problem was they needed the outfit for both and wasted valuable time by taking off the suit and then having to put it right back on.

Non-Elimination Saves Ken & Tina On Amazing Race 13

Posted by REALITY REHASH on November 2, 2008 under CBS, The Amazing Race | Read the First Comment

The non-elimination leg was pretty predictable to show up this episode but surely the team that it saved was not. After their 12 hour rest period it was time for the teams to leave Cambodia. The next stop on this amazing race was Deli, India where all the teams took the same flight. They were required to use the same travel agent to book flights, giving them a nice equalizer. There Starr and Dallas, of two different teams, rekindled their “friendship” from the second episode. Both said they would want to be friends off the race but on it seems akward as Dallas’ mom Toni and Starr’s brother Nick are always there to break the two apart.

As the teams arrived in Deli things quickily became a taxi race. Nick and Starr were first to get out while Dan/Andrew and Toni/Dallas followed behind. Ken and Tina were the last to depart as they had trouble finding a taxi and seemed to get the worst driver ever. Nick/Starr and Dan/Andrew arrived at their next location first with a road block to come. What they had to do was choose one of the team members to first mask off a tut tut car then paint the rest green. Apparently India is going “green” so they want to express that on their small taxi’s. Starr chose to do the task along with Andrew. Toni/Dallas and Kelly/Christy then arrived followed by Terrance and Sarah who struggled finding the location. Ken and Tina were last to the spot as their taxi driver, as I said before, had no idea where he was going.

Dan Wins The $500,000 On Big Brother 10

Posted by REALITY REHASH on September 16, 2008 under Reality | Be the First to Comment

After 71 days of fun, drama, fights and twists, Big Brother 10 is now officially over with Dan claiming all 7 jury votes to win one of the best Big Brother seasons yet. The night started off with a well rounded recap of the entire summer. With Brian and his friends leaving first things looked bleak for Dan and Memphis, his two remaining friends, but when their alliance was born it ruled the entire game. Dan and Memphis worked everyone until the very end and that’s why that sat in the finals. Both played off of each other, keeping each other safe yet still playing for themselves. It all came down to the seven votes and the seven people they helped evict.

At the jury house everyone had an opinion on who they wanted to see. Libra wanted Jerry out but Renny didn’t even want to think of looking at him. Keesha wanted Memphis in the jury, for obvious reasons, while was very adamant about wanting Dan out. When Jerry walked through the door everyone was talking about him. Well rather bashing him. He didn’t catch the discussion though but most gave him a cold shoulder as they weren’t too thrilled he was back in their lives. All the girls on the jury had a very strong opinion on who should win. April battled for Memphis to win the money, simply because she hated that Dan got not only her but her boyfriend Ollie out as well. Keesha, Libra and Renny stuck to their guns for Dan and continually bashed Memphis. Renny said that Memphis didn’t play the game and she was in no way going to give him her vote. April basically said the same for Dan and continued on with her delusional self. Jerry seemed still upset with Dan but didn’t really give much of a reason. Michelle stayed rather quiet, other then telling Jerry about her trip with Dan. Ollie of course said hardly anything.

The Renegades Remember On Big Brother 10

Posted by REALITY REHASH on September 14, 2008 under Big Brother 10, CBS | Be the First to Comment

On the special edition of Big Brother 10 some of the best moments from the season are showcased. Although only a few new scenes were chosen it was a nice way to end the season with a recap of all the good, and sometimes bad, memories. The show started off with Jerry being evicted and both Dan and Memphis celebrating. They’ve been planning for several weeks now to get to this point and were ecstatic to actually be in the finals. At one point they both agreed they were there because they controlled their emotions and didn’t get into any fights. That may just be the case.

When it came time to showcase some of the houseguests both Jerry and Renny received the most airtime. They were the comedic relief of the season. Jerry’s senior antics were the talk of many conversations in the house and with the first of the new footage we saw Jerry attempting to do a rap. Ollie told him to not dance when rapping, but Jerry didn’t listen. They also showed his fights with Memphis and others and both Renegades were shocked at how well he actually did. With Renny you never knew what you were going to get. I’m so glad they finally showed her impressions on the show as they were great on the feeds. I’m surprised they didn’t show her doing Keesha though as she was dead on. Of course they just had to show Renny’s famous antic from night one of being stuck in her room. It set off one of the better feuds on the show between Jessie that lasted the entire time both were in the house.
