The Biggest Loser: Week X

The Biggest Loser

It's makeover week! the contestants will have to give an inpirational speech to about 300 audience members. How nice that TBL brought the contestant's family members to the speech as a surprise.

Rudy won the challenge that looked pretty nerve-racking and involved heights of approximately 2000 feet, pulleys and cables.

Heroes: Redemption: Brother's Keeper

Heroes

Okay, we found out a little more about Samuel, where he came from, and what he is up to. However, it is hard for me to deal with the time travel. For instance, they said Celebrity Mohinder (Knightly Delight Sendhil Ramamurthy) was dead and apparently it happened shortly after his father's death. If that was the case how could he be present to go the Coyote Canyon and do all the other stuff?

Tea Talk with Celebrity Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and Celebrity Tracy (Ali Larter) was stupid. What is happening to Tracy anyway? I can't believe she is going to join The Circus. Hiro was stupid to get the film for Samuel; I just knew Samuel would not keep his word and release Charlie.

So is Celebrity Sylar (Knightly Delight Zachary Quinto) alive or not? Celebrity Parkman (Greg Grunberg) is back in his body and Celebrity Nathan (Knightly Delight Adrian Pasdar) seems to be in possession of Sylar's body, knowing his body is dead. I guess we'll find out next episode. NBC Episode Recap.

The Amazing Race: Stockholm, Sweden > Tallinn, Estonia

The Amazing Race

Road Block Road Block
One team member had to join the ranks of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, a secret society of merchants that has existed in Estonia for at least 600 years, to uncover a mystery. Teams had to descend into the cellar and find a candelabra with a room number attached to it. Then, they had to locate that room where they would be given what appeared to be a blank scroll. They then had to figure out that if they held the scroll over the lighted candle, it would reveal their next clue.

Speed Bump SPEED BUMP
Gary and Matt had to find a saunabuss parked nearby, strip down, and take a five-minute sauna with a group of locals.

Detour DETOUR
In Serve, teams had to slog in the bog to play a round of volleyball against a local team. Submerged deep in the mud, they had to score five points to earn their next clue.

In Sling, teams planted themselves in the mud and, using a slingshot, fired assorted vegetables at a moose target. When they made a direct hit, the table below it collapsed dumping a pile of cabbages on the ground along with their next clue.

Woohoo! Got to see some skin in this episode. Cheyne is not bad-looking, but not nearly as hot as Dan, who's crotch I noticed was pixelated, as well as his brothers during the Sling Detour. They did make a comment about the hot Estonian boys; they either had hard ons or they are exceptionally hung. Hmmm. Even hotter was Herbert! Mmm, mmm, mmm! CBS Recap

The Amazing Race: Amsterdam, Netherlands > Stockholm, Sweden

The Amazing Race

Detour DETOUR
In Nobel Dynamite, teams had to create sandbags to create a protective bunker in a rock quarry. Once they were protected, they would set off an enormous explosion, thanks to the Swedish inventor of dynamite Alfred Nobel, which would unearth a box containing their next clue.

In Viking Alphabet, teams had to decode a message using ancient Viking runes. Once they solved the message, they would receive their next clue.

Road Block Road Block
One team member had the seemingly simple task of unrolling hay bales to find one of only seven race flags hidden among 186 hay bales.

Fortunately for Gary & Matt, this was an non-elimination round, but they will incur a Speed Bump on the next leg of the race. CBS Recap

Heroes: Redemption: Shadowboxing

Heroes

I am glad I am not recapping anymore becasue last night's episode got to be a little confusing between Celebrity Sylar (Knightly Delight Zachary Quinto) and Celebrity Parkman. I could not help but remember Sylar ssing himself in the future as a legit guy.

How cool that Celebrity Nathan (Knightly Delight Adrian Pasdar)came to and escaped from The Carnival. I still can't figure out what Samuel is up to.

The Biggest Loser: Week IX

The Biggest Loser

Double elimination? Contestant with lowest percentage of weight lost goes home. Next two highest follow normal elimination procedures.

Missed who won the pop challenge and what the prize was. Rudy won immunity from the circus challenge.

OMG! Shay broke the record of the female to lose one hundred pounds in the least amount of time...nine weeks. Danny also surpasses the one hundred pound mark. Ah! Allen won a one pound advantage.

I think Rudy voted for Shay. We'll see.

The Biggest Loser: Week VIII

The Biggest Loser

Teams went single. Interesting three-part challenge, in which Lynn had an advantage, but lost immunity to Rebecca. Will Shay get under four hundred pounds today?

How ironic that Liz should end up against her nemesis, Tracy, for elimination. It almost seems too predictable that Tracy would be sent home, but I think, more than Liz's pathetic plea, Tracy will be sent home because she screwed over too many people.

Heroes: Redemption: Once Upon A Time in Texas

Heroes

Is Celebrity Hiro (Masi Oka) going to save Charlie? After one of the most clever plots Heroes has produced since the first season – by going back to the first season and completely changing history, which is to say wasting five seasons watching something that may have never even happened – they can't leave us wondering again. Charlie was right; it was selfish of Hiro to save her and let Celebrity Sylar (Knightly Delight Zachary Quinto) continue on his path of killing. Ultimately, Charlie accepts Hiro and they live happily ever after.

The Amazing Race: Dubai, United Arab Emirates > Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Amazing Race

I could not believe Ericka had to count the bells, what was it, four times? Girl! I think I spy with my little eye two publicity whores: Sam and Dan. Ew! Coming out on television, I thought, was tacky. Why should it matter or affect the race one way or another? Puh-lease!

I kinda had a shiver of compassion for Maria & Tiffany. Sorry girls. CBS Recap
