Last time on The City: Kelly Cutrone was awesome, Olivia sucked and Whit went on a blind date.
Somewhere in NYC: Whit's designs arrive and she's showing them to Kelly Cutrone. Kelly tells her that the next step is getting a "look book" together. Kelly says she needs to get a photographer, location, hair, make-up, stylist, etc. Whit looks overwhelmed. Kelly says she'll take care of most of it, but Whit needs to start thinking about casting and what she wants the girls to look like. Whit says that maybe Roxy can help with casting and Kelly asks if she's ever done it before. Whit says that this could be her first time. Kelly says "Great." And not in a good way. Then she tells Whit that she can't stress how important this look book is for Whit's career. Kelly tells her that she has to put her best foot forward because if she doesn't, the other foot won't follow. This look book will either make or break her career in fashion. What's Kelly's point? DON'T USE ROXY.
OPENING CREDITS
"If You Want Something Done Right..."
People's Revolution, Soho. Whit is doing the casting for her look book and Roxy is there. Kelly walks in ... a little late and says that she didn't know Roxy was working today. Roxy says that she's helping and Kelly gives Whit the "I thought I f-ing told you how important this is. Why is she here?!?!" look. Kelly says that this has to be done right. Then she tells Roxy that she can "push" which I guess means bring the models to Kelly and Whit. So, Roxy walks over to a model and says "you were here first, right?" I'm guessing that's not how it's done. Kelly asks Whit "you had Roxy call the models?" and Whit says "yeah, I figured she could do that." Kelly isn't convinced.
First model up...doesn't have a book. She says it's in the mail. Kelly says "without a book, we can't see how you'll look on film. Ciao. Next." heh. Kelly hates everyone that Roxy is sending back, so Kelly goes out and points to 3 girls and tells the rest to go home. Then she calls Roxy to the back. Kelly tells Roxy that the girls she's picked are not cutting it. "The theme is fairytale tea party not gothic nightmare." HAHA!! Kelly tells Roxy that she's going to need to really pull out all the stops and find some models that work. Because so far this is a disaster for Whit, who put her ass on the line for Roxy. Damn. Kelly: "You're gonna need to pull some magic because this thing is a disaster for her. Get on the phone and find me some models that work." LOVE. Kelly.
Elle Magazine. Erin is sporting some fierce heels. Erin tells Joe that they booked the Today Show and they want him on air. They want 8 looks head to toe and they are giving Elle 6 minutes. Apparently, that's awesome, but Joe says it will be a lot of work. Erin says that she'll need help. Joe says this is the perfect thing for Olivia to work on with Erin. Erin laughs and says that out of everyone at Elle, Joe thinks Olivia is the perfect person. Joe says that she proved herself to him and that he's putting himself on the line for her. Erin says she can't figure out why he would do that. Joe says that he thinks Olivia can do this and Erin says "Let's hope."
People's Revolution, Soho. Roxy brings in a new batch of models and Kelly loves the first two. She thinks that one of the girls looks just like Whit's inspiration for the collection ... BUT, she's short. Kelly and Whit agree on the taller one, Stefania. Yeah. They are booking her. Kelly high fives Roxy and says "Lucky for you, my friend." HA.
Elle Magazine. Erin tells Olivia that they have a Today Show segment. Olivia says "another one. Ok." Erin says yes, but that this time they want Joe Zee on air so it has to be perfect. Erin says the last one was mediocre at best so they need to step it up this time. Erin says that they are doing a "He said, she said" theme. Clothes that girls think guys like to see them in and clothes that guys actually like to see girls wear. Olivia is doing "Meet the parents" and "Evening out". Erin tells Olivia exactly what she needs to get. For "meet the parents", the girl look is flats, skirt, cardigan and the guy's choice is jeans, sweater and sandals. For "Evening out", the girl look is heels, skinny pant/jean and flowy top and the guy's choice is a dress and heels. I mean, how hard can it be? I guess, pretty hard. Olivia tells Erin not to stress and Erin says the fact that Olivia isn't stressed worries her. Olivia says "I'm going to be fine. Don't worry." Erin: "I think that's what you said last time." Snap.
People's Revolution, Soho. It's Whit's look book photo shoot!! The roof is set up like Alice in Wonderland and it looks very romantic. Roxy asks Whit to funk it up a little bit and right then Kelly walks in and takes over. There's a reason she owns her own PR firm. Roxy keeps trying to funk it up with different ideas...like having the models scream or a food fight. Kelly has had enough, so she pulls Roxy to the side and says "I don't want to upset Whitney because this is her shoot. But I don't want her looking at you and you talking..." Roxy tries to interupt and Kelly says "No no no. I'm going to talk. So no cake fights, no nothing. This is like criss cross apple sauce. Nice and clean so we can get through it. Ok." They keep shooting and Roxy doesn't listen to Kelly and says "let's just get one last shot of someone opening champagne." Whit doesn't say anything but kind of walks away. Kelly tells Roxy that the champagne will explode if she shakes it...which Roxy does. The model opens the champagne and it goes everywhere and ON THE CLOTHES. The dress has champagne all over it. Kelly ends the shoot and says she's going to dinner. Roxy says she'll clean up and Kelly tells her not to break anything else. Whit says she'll help clean up. Roxy says no and tells Whit that she already knows she's mad. Whit tries to say she's not mad, but she's totally pissed. Roxy tells Whit that she can tell that Whit's pissed. Whit says that she just didn't forsee food and champagne going all over her stuff. Seriously, why would Roxy do that??? She's so narcissistic. Then, to break the awkward silence, Roxy throws cake at Whit and they get into a food fight. Dumb.
Mango, Soho. Ooh, I used to love Mango. Then it came to the US and became another H&M (ie. cheap European Contempo). Olivia is meeting Brynn (an Elle accessories intern) to help her put together looks for the shoot. Brynn picks out a black sequined dress and Olivia is concerned that it might fit the model wrong. Olivia: "I can pull it off but I'm not sure everyone can." Ugh. Olivia picks a black pantsuit (?? I think??) and Brynn says "that's not going to go over well." Olivia says that she likes it so she's keeping it. Uh oh. Brynn says that she doesn't want to piss Erin off and that last time they didn't have enough options. So, Brynn suggests that they go pull more dresses but Olivia says "I think we're done. We're all set." Brynn looks nervous and is telling Olivia that they need more options and Olivia says that she's happy so they're leaving. Not good.
Elle Magazine. Olivia is doing a fitting with the models. Erin walks in and says that the dress is too tight on the model. Olivia says she disagrees and Erin says that she's not wearing the dress. Olivia says she disagrees and Erin says she doesn't care. Then they go to the jeans, sandals, sweater look and Erin asks why the jeans are a size 2 if the model is a size 4. Olivia says that they can fix that. Olivia says that she could only find ONE pair of sandals. Erin asks her why she didn't go to more stores. Olivia says that's all she could find. Erin says Olivia is leaving her at the 11th hour without options AGAIN. Erin is totally pissed and she tells the models they can leave. Olivia wishes Erin luck on finding sandals and Erin says that Olivia wished her luck last time and Erin was able to pull it off with lots of options. Erin says that everything has to go back and Olivia says she disagrees about the dress. Erin says she doesn't care, it's going back. Olivia says that they should ask Joe what he thinks. Erin says that Joe has nothing to do with this segment and that she has done this enough to know what they are looking for. Olivia then asks "Erin, would you talk to Joe in the tone that you talk to me?" Erin reminds Olivia that she's NOT JOE. Then Olivia says "I'm saying that you need to respect all your colleagues on the same level". Mind you, she's saying all of this while going through a rack of clothes and doesn't even look up at Erin once. Erin asks Brynn to leave which she does GLADLY I'm sure.
Erin says that if she doesn't want the size 16 model to wear the size 14 dress, then that's it. She's not wearing it, let's move on. Olivia says she disagrees and asks Erin to have an open mind. Erin says she has an open mind to let Olivia go to the store and re-pull outfits for the segment. Erin says that it's taking everything in her not to go to the store and do it herself. Then she tells Olivia that it's Erin's segment, Erin's producers, Erin's contacts and Erin's models so she chooses what goes on the air, NOT Joe. Joe is going to see the clothes the day of the shoot. And scene.
People's Revolution. Roxy says she returned all the shoes, accessories, etc. from the photo shoot and she got the dress with champagne on it dry cleaned. Kelly comes in and says that the look book is ready and the photographer sent it to them. Roxy asks if she can come, too, and Kelly tells her that she wants to look at it with Whit alone first and Roxy can see it later. Oh dang. Kelly and Whit love the pics and they arrive at the pic of the dress that got champagne all over it. Whit says that she and Roxy worked everything out. Kelly says that she likes Roxy but she gets a little carried away. Whit says she's learning and Kelly says it seems like Roxy wants to learn the hard way. Then Kelly tells Whit that she needs to decide if it's worth it to keep someone like that around.
Elle Magazine. Erin goes in to talk to Brynn about what just happened. Brynn looks terrified. Erin repeats what she needed and that what was shown to her was a disaster. Brynn says that they'll go back and she has everything written down and she'll get it done. Erin is just venting. She tells Brynn that this wasn't Brynn's responsibility, it was an Olivia "accessories editor" task. Erin says that it's insulting to Elle and to Joe that Olivia doesn't take her seriously. This task is a reflection on Elle and it's insulting to the producers who trust that the Elle people know what they're doing. Erin says that if one store doesn't have it, go to another store, and another store. Don't give up and come back until you have the looks. Brynn gets it. She got it at Mango. Erin tells Brynn it's not her. Erin just doesn't think that Olivia cares. Erin: "She just doesn't deserve to be here at all." Agreed. See parents?? Don't spoil your kids!!! They will turn out entitled and obnoxious like Olivia!
See you later this week for the finale!!

The Hills, Season 5, Episode 519
The holidays completely conflicted with my reality viewing schedule. My apologies for the delay.
Last time on The Hills: Brody and Jayde got back together. Kristin and BS went to Vegas. Speidi still sucks.
Las Vegas, NV. Kristin and BS drive into Vegas and Kristin asks what the chances are of BS and Kristin both hooking up with someone. With these girls, I'd say the chances are pretty f-ing good. Kristin declares that their mission will be to each find a guy that they can "flirt with" all night. BS says it best "We're not here to meet Mr. Right. We're here to meet Mr. Right NOW." Heh. Vegas baby!!
OPENING CREDITS
"Mr. Right Now"
Carwash in LA. Charlie and Spender are getting Spender's car washed and Charlie is talking about how he was all over Hollywood last night. Spender says that he had the best night of his married life last night. He tells Charlie about the dinner Heidi made in her negligee. He tells Charlie that this is what marriage is all about. Charlie - being a little more suspicious than Spender - says that it sounds like the black widow spinning her web before the big kill. Spender looks shocked and confused. Charlie says that Heidi might have some ulterior motives. I think Charlie is onto something. Spender asks what her motive could be and Charlie says "getting pregnant." Spender swears that Heidi is on the pill because he sees the pills. Charlie says that Spender needs to make sure she's actually taking them and watch her swallow because she might be hiding them under her tongue and throwing them out. Spender naively says that Heidi would never do something like that. Hmmm. Never say never.
Charlie says that there are tests to figure out if she's trying to get pregnant. He tells Spender to see if she's still drinking alcohol or take her out for sushi/shellfish and see if she eats it. I see where you're going with this, Chuck, but I think you only stop doing those things if you actually ARE pregnant, not if you're just trying to get pregnant. I could be wrong, but... Then Charlie says that there are things Heidi will probably start doing after sex to increase her chances. Spender is shocked. Charlie tells him to "you tube" it. Spender says life was much easier when he only had to think of his car. Up rolls the General Lee and Spender and Charlie drive off. Spender is such a d-bag. Case in point, the guy who washed his car pulls up and hands him the keys and Spender calls him "boss". Dumb.
Las Vegas, NV. Kristin and BS are drinking champagne in their room at the Palazzo Hotel in Vegas. Kristin is wearing a really stupid-looking black FUR vest. Dumb. They are looking through their clothes and BS says that everything she has looks like "baby clothes" - I assume because it's all 2 sizes too small. Then they compare outfits and Kristin says that whatever happens, stays between the two of them. Kristin, I believe the phrase you are looking for is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Then, BS says "I need something that screams 'not a one-night stand, but...maybe'" Classy.
Katsuyo, Hollywood. HAHA. Spender is taking Heidi out for sushi. They sit down and Spender orders a "nice, hot saki" and Heidi tells the waiter that she'll just have sparkling water. Uh-oh. Then Spender orders tuna and Heidi says she's craving meat more than fish. Um, you're at a sushi restaurant, Heidi. The waiter says they have some grilled Kobe beef and she says "Yeah, let's get that". Spender looks like he's about ready to pass out. Heidi immediately says that she wonders what Enzo is doing. Spender says that they talk about Enzo all the time and he's not even related to them. Heh. The waiter brings them some yellowtail and Heidi says that Spender will be eating that. Then Spender proposes a toast to trust in their marriage. Heidi doesn't even flinch.
Ghostbar at The Palms, Vegas. Kristin and BS arrive and sit at a table. BS wants to go find some cute guys but Kristin reminds her that the cute guys come to them. Then...they do shots. These two guys come up to them and they are very Vegas. Actually, they look very LA to me, too. They have entirely too much product in their hair and they are wearing too many trends at once. Then, one of them says that the other "J-Rock" was a back-up dancer for Backstreet Boyz. Kristin and BS don't believe it and want him to dance for them. He does some butt popping moves and I'm noticing that the area where Kristin and BS are sitting is now full of people. They all get up and start dancing and Kristin and BS are embarrassed for everyone. They clearly aren't interested in the guys and they don't want to be associated with any of the people dancing around. Kristin goes outside and leaves BS behind with the crazies. Kristin calls JB and leaves him a message. She says that she's at a bar in Vegas and should be having the time of her life, but she's not because JB's name keeps popping in her head. Then she tells him that she made a pact with Stacie that she wouldn't call him but she is and she's putting herself out there. She hangs up and forgets she's on a reality show and thinks she's in a movie or something because she pouts her lips and looks out at the Vegas skyline forlorn and longingly. Ridiculous.
Kristin's Room, Vegas. BS walks in and asks Kristin what happened to her last night. Kristin says that she came back to the room as she eats an ice cream sundae in bed. BS asks if Kristin wants something else for breakfast and she says "Champagne". Then BS notices that the shower is running and asks Kristin if she has a guy in her room. Kristin tries to be coy and then BS asks who it is and if she should leave. Kristin says no and admits to making a booty call. Just then, JB emerges from the bathroom and BS is stunned. He goes back into the bathroom to put some clothes on. BS reprimands Kristin and asks what happened to meeting new guys in Vegas.
Vermont Hotel Bar, Los Angeles. Audrina is meeting Derek (JB's friend) for drinks. Audrina tells him that her sister is having a little boy. Then Derek asks if Audrina has talked to JB. Audrina says that she met with JB and he told her that the last 4.5 years meant NOTHING to him. Lie. Then she says that JB told her that Kristin did something to him that no one else ever has. True. Derek says that Audrina should never have to deal with that shit. Audrina agrees. Then Derek tells her that JB is in Vegas with Kristin and BS. Audrina says that JB is a d-bag and he will never change. Derek says that JB is a selfish guy. Audrina tells him that she feels like she's been on a roller coaster for the past 4.5 years. UGH! I hate it when girls play the victim. Seriously?? He told you THROUGHOUT those 4.5 years that he didn't want a girlfriend and yet, you persisted. Jeez. You teach people how to treat you and you taught JB to treat you like shit. I'm not saying he's not a d-bag, but you're idiot for letting it go on for 4.5 years. ANNOYING.
Derek asks Audrina if she's really done with JB. Audrina says that she's done and that this is the last time he'll hear her talk about JB. Derek is skeptical, but nods. I'm skeptical, too, Derek.
A Casino in Vegas. BS tells JB that she's glad that he could make it. JB looks at her suspiciously and asks "really?" Then Kristin says that it was sweet of him to come. JB says that he hopes he doesn't hear differently later. Heh! He knows these girls too well. JB asks Kristin if she thought he would come. She says she didn't think he would. Then she acts like a jealous girl and asks if JB ever drove to Vegas for Audrina. JB says he doesn't think so. That's not a "No" but I'm guessing she'll take it. Then he asks if she would do the same thing for him. Kristin says "Not if you were going back and forth between me and Audrina like you were." JB calls bullshit and says that he could say the same about her and Brody. Touche! They all do shots and decide to have a fun night!!
Rick's Cabaret, Vegas. Kristin's black fur vest has multiplied into a black fur coat. Ugh. The three of them are going to a strip club. I'm sure BS is very excited to hang out with Kristin and JB. Third wheel. Maybe they'll have a threesome ala Gossip Girl?? The girls are having a blast as is JB. Kristin announces that she wants a stripper pole and tells JB that she's going to learn to do all these things. Gross. Kristin and BS both get lap dances from the lovely ladies of Rick's Cabaret. JB is totally turned on. Gross. I'm not a prude, but this whole scene is making me uncomfortable. I think it's the players. JB and Kristin start making out and BS yells that she's feeling like a third wheel. That's because you are, BS. JB wants her to feel included so he tells Kristin and BS that they have to kiss ... and they do.
Speidi's House. Charlie comes over and Spender shows him a pregnancy test box that he found in the trash. Charlie asks if Spender did the sushi/alcohol test and Spender tells him that he was correct. You know, if this was anyone but Heidi, I'd say that Charlie and Spender are totally dumb with their suspicions. But, because Heidi is actually dumb, it actually makes those guys look smart...well, about this anyway. Spender says if Heidi is pregnant, then GAME OVER. Not sure what that means. Charlie says if she's pregnant then Spender will have 9 months to read a lot of books about being a daddy. Heh. Spender says that he will have a serious meltdown if Heidi is pregnant. Spender says that he knows if he has a kid, the kid will try to kill him. Charlie (with a straight face and actually serious) says "the whole Oedipal complex? Yeah, a lot of kids have that." haha. Charlie tells Spender to talk to Heidi and soon before they hear the pitter patter of little feet. Then Charlie says that he has a book of baby names at home if Spender wants to see it. Spender tells Charlie not to make fun and that he just wants to be depressed right now.
Palazzo Hotel, Vegas. Kristin and JB wake up and her voice is almost gone. JB asks her how she's feeling and she says a lot better than she should be feeling. Kristin tells JB that she's glad he came and that it made the trip really fun. She asks him what happens now...you know, in the "real world". She asks him if they are going to hang out when they get back. JB says "we'll just have to see when we get back." HAHA. That's not "YES"!!
See you later this week for the FINALE!!

Amazing Race 15 - Episode 10
Last week, The Farmers were eliminated. :( Four teams remain. I'm rooting for The GLOBES!
We're at the last Pit Stop in Tallin, Estonia.
The Blondes are the first to depart at 12:00 AM.
FIRST CLUE: Teams must now fly to Prague in the Czech Republic. Once there, teams must find the town square and locate a "PRAGA". They must first figure out that a "Praga" is a vintage Czech convertible. Once they find the "PRAGA", they will receive their next clue from the driver.
Blondes take off and I'm guessing there will be BUNCHING since it's midnight. Rainbow takes off next. OMG, these brothers are like the blind leading the blind. Dan: "Prague? Do they speak Spanish there? Where is it?" Sam: "No. It's a country." WOW. Can you say 'brain trust'? Rainbow interviews that Globes are their rivals at this point. I'd say, they are correct. Globes are out for blood after last week's race to the finish line where they insist Dan pushed Flight Time. Globes are next to leave and they tell us that they talked to Rainbow and it's all good. This is about winning the race and it's not personal. Hmmmm. Team USA is last to take off and head to the airport.
Blondes arrive and find out that the first flight is at 5:20 AM to Riga and then at 8:15 AM from Riga to Prague. The ticket office opens at 4:00 AM, so they are waiting. Rainbow arrives next followed by the Globes and Team USA. Globes, Rainbow and Team USA hit the internet. Globes find out what a Praga is. Meghan suggests to Cheyne that they tell the others that a "Praga" is a black hat. Globes are on the internet and discover that a Praga is a vintage car. At 4:00 AM, all teams buy their tickets and head to Prague. Blondes, Globes and Rainbow all hop in Taxis to the old town square. Team USA decides to take a shuttle bus (i'm guessing to save $$). Brian says that someone on the plane told them that the shuttle to the subway is the fastest way to the old town square, so they are taking a gamble.
Blondes arrive and start looking for the Praga. Rainbow sees the Blondes running and follows them. Blondes find the Praga and get the next clue.
CLUE: Teams must now find their way to Kayaky Troja, an outdoor adventure center. Here they will search for their next clue.
Rainbow tells us that they didn't know what a vintage Praga was so they are grateful that they saw the Blondes! Now Rainbow and Blondes are on their way to Kayaky Troja. Team USA is stuck in traffic on the shuttle. Meanwhile, Globes find the next clue. Team USA gets off the shuttle and gets a cab. Of course, Miss America is going to blame this on Brian.
Globes are in a taxi that is completely covered in autographs. Team USA laments their bad decision. Blondes and Rainbow arrive at Kayaky Troja and receive their next clue.
DETOUR: "Fast & Furious" or "Slow & Steady". In Fast & Furious (FF), teams make their way, in a kayak, through a man-made white water rafting course used to train professional kayakers. As they make their way through the rapids, they will have to reach up and grab a ribbon which has their next clue on it. If they tip over before reaching their clue, they will have to start over. In Slow & Steady (SS), teams have to pull themselves through an aerial ropes course. When they reach the end of their rope, each team will receive their next clue.
Rainbow is doing FF and Blondes are doing SS. Globes arrive next, while Team USA is searching for a vintage Praga - but they don't know what it is. Rainbow takes off to do their first attempt at FF while Blondes get ready for SS. Globes look up at the aerial rope and Big Easy says "We'd jump off the third floor in the projects. This ain't nothing. There ain't but two stories right there." Flight Time: "We didn't have but one story in my projects." These guys are great. Globes are doing SS. Dan is bitching at Sam the whole time they make their way down the rapids.
Team USA finally figure out that a Praga is a car and get their next clue. Rainbow tips over and have to start again. Blondes are stuggling and Globes are close behind. Big Easy is so heavy that his feet are touching the water. Rainbow goes for the second attempt. Flight Time passes the Blondes but Big Easy is still struggling. Again, Dan is bitching at Sam and they tip again. Flight Time gets the clue and the Blondes finish. Big Easy is still struggling. Flight Time has to get off the platform and Blondes ask to go first. Flight Time SLOWLY goes down first to give Big Easy some time to catch up and the Blondes are totally yelling at him. Heh.
Rainbow is on their 3rd attempt and Dan is bitching AGAIN. Meghan comes down and Flight Time says that he wasn't trying to slow them down until they accused him of it. Then he did slow down. Meghan tries to diffuse and tells him it doesn't matter and Cheyne comes down and they go read the clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now figure out that the words on their clue/ribbon refer to Prague's Estates Theater. When they figure it out, they will need to go there to find their next clue.
Big Easy finishes and they head out. Rainbow is struggling down the rapids and they tip over AGAIN. Team USA arrives and ask their taxi to wait for them. Rainbow switches to SS. Blondes find out that they can take a tram and ask the Globes to follow them. Big Easy says they were going to follow them anyway, so when they invited the Globes, they went right along. Heh. Team USA tells us that Miss America is afraid of water so that's why they are doing SS. BUT, he's really afraid of heights. Pansies. Rainbow starts with the overhead and Dan already starts BITCHING.
Blondes and Globes are waiting for the tram and Cheyne spots a taxi. Meghan has given an older woman a piece of paper and a pen to write down the name of the tram stop. Cheyne yells for a taxi and, when one drives up, he grabs the paper and pen out of the lady's hand and gets in the cab. He yells for Meghan to get in and she yells at Cheyne for being rude. He tells her that he's trying to win a race which I guess that makes it ok. Meghan tells him that he has no reason to treat people like that. She's also upset because they just left the Globes there. Cheyne tells her that, at this point in the game, she's being absolutely ridiculous. Globes jump on the tram and Flight Time says "Cheyne's an ass."
Rainbow and Team USA are still doing SS. Dan is kicking booty and he's yelling out "helpful pointers" to Sam. Brian starts to do the same, but Miss America isn't having that. She tells him to "Take care of you. Don't worry about me."
Meghan and Cheyne are still bickering. Cheyne says he's sorry but this is a race. Meghan says she understands, but now Globes are going to be pissed and hold a grudge. She says that this is the kind of thing that motivates them to mess with people. Good point. Blondes arrive at the Estates Theater and find the next clue.
ROADBLOCK: Teams must go into the Estates Theater to the Opera House where Mozart composed his first Opera, Don Giovanni. There they must search among the 600 seats for a tiny mandolin. Then, they must bring it on stage to Don Giovanni himself and he will give them their next clue.
Cheyne decides that he will do this Roadblock. Globes get off the tram and head to the subway. Meanwhile, Rainbow finishes up and heads out. Cheyne finds a regular sized mandolin and Don Giovanni laughs at him and says "NO!" Heh. Globes arrive and get the roadblock. Big Easy is going to get it done!
Rainbow sees the cab waiting at the detour and they know that it's Team USA's cab. But, they offer to pay him extra to take them to the next place. Team USA sees this and Miss America yells "Oh HELL no. You are ours. Don't you dare." But, he does. Rainbow feels a little bad, but whatever. Team USA is PISSED and Miss America is MOTIVATED now. Rainbow arrives at the Opera house and Dan is going to do the Roadblock. Sam tells Flight Time and Meghan that Miss America was still on the rope when they left and that they "kind of" took Team USA's cab. "Kind of"? Really? No, Sam, you ACTUALLY took it. Meanwhile, Team USA is in disbelief that Rainbow took their cab. They are walking and trying to find a cab.
Flight time gets up and starts dancing. Dan brings a violin and Don Giovanni laughs in his face and says "NO!" Heh. Flight Time starts singing. Big Easy finds a tiny case, but not mandolin in it. Cheyne finds one and gets the next clue. Big Easy is just glad that he doesn't have to hear Meghan yell out "Cheyne, Cheyne" over and over again.
PITSTOP: Teams must now travel by taxi to Prague Castle, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
Blondes take off. Dan finds the next mandolin and Rainbow head to the pit stop. Team USA arrives and Miss America is doing the roadblock.
Blondes are Team #1. They won a trip for two to Lanai at the Four Seasons.
Big Easy finds the mandolin and gets the next clue. Globes head to the pit stop. Miss America says that she shouldn't have to look under every seat. She says "This is redonkulous". THEN, she says that looking for things is not her strength, so Brian should have done this one...yet again. She's a piece of work. It's a good thing Brian is so spineless.
Rainbow is Team #2. Globes are Team #3. Phil asks if there is tension and Big Easy says that there's drama going on because someone stole somebody's taxi, but Globes are gonna stay out of it and win the race. Rainbow just listens and looks worried.
Don Giovanni is now eating lunch and sits with Brian while Miss America looks for the mandolin. She FINALLY finds it and they head to the pit stop.
Team USA is the last team to arrive. Unfortunately, this is a non elimination leg and they are still in the race. Damn. They will have a speed bump in the next leg.
See you next week...
We're at the last Pit Stop in Tallin, Estonia.
The Blondes are the first to depart at 12:00 AM.
FIRST CLUE: Teams must now fly to Prague in the Czech Republic. Once there, teams must find the town square and locate a "PRAGA". They must first figure out that a "Praga" is a vintage Czech convertible. Once they find the "PRAGA", they will receive their next clue from the driver.

Real Housewives OC, Season Five - Episode 3
Last time: The dinner party drama continued, Tamra got sad about overspending and now needing to sell the house, Lynne set a horrible example for her daughters and encouraged plastic surgery.
GRETCHEN
Gretchen and Slade are at the Valley Ho Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. They are there to attend a big birthday celebration for Gretchen's friend, Kelly. Tamra interviews that 2 weeks after Jeff died, Slade moved in with Gretchen. Slade tells Gretchen that he loves her and she says she loves him, too. And he says even though he's poor. Gretchen says that they are not poor, they just need to make smart financial decisions right now. Slade is so slimy looking. Gretchen tells Slade that she used to be super thrifty, but then she met Jeff and he totally spoiled her. Gretchen tells us that Slade jokes about being poor because he IS poor!! HAHA. Wow. No wonder he keeps banging housewives. Gretchen has cash and a HOUSE from Jeff, so Slade can live off of her for awhile. Yikes. Slade tells Gretchen that he realizes that spending time with Gretchen and his family far outweighs money. Yes, well, that's because you don't have any!! He tells Gretchen that he wants to marry her and have kids with her...as the camera zooms in on her ENGAGEMENT RING FROM JEFF!!! Then she reminds him that she wants 4 kids and Slade says he's good with that. Um, if you're poor, you can't afford FOUR MORE KIDS, Slade.
JEANNA
Tamra decides to stop by Jeanna's house. Tamra is hosting a high end event at La Perla and she hasn't heard from Jeanna whether or not she's coming. Jeanna tells Tamra that she doesn't need any lingeree and that she can't handle all the drama with the girls. It's clear Jeanna doesn't want to spend time with the housewives anymore. She tells Tamra that she's got houses to show and that all her kids are home, so she's making dinner. AND, she says that Matt is home, too. Jeanna says that he got his second DUI and, if he gets jail time, he'll probably blame her. Um, why is he staying at the house?? Aren't they divorced? WTF? Jeanna is like a battered wife. Matt is so verbally and emotionally abusive. Jeanna says their divorce will be final in about a month, but they have so many properties that it complicates matters. Tamra says that Jeanna told her she was dating so how does that work with Matt in the house. Jeanna says that it's AWKWARD. Ya think?
Jeanna asks Tamra about her and Gretchen. Tamra says that Gretchen just needs to tell her that Tamra was right and things would be fine. Jeanna says that maybe Gretchen did really love Jeff. Tamra says that it wasn't about that, it's that Gretchen is a pathological liar. Jeanna interviews that Tamra needs to apologize because she had no right to question or judge another person's relationship. Tamra is upset that Jeanna thinks she needs to apologize. Tamra interviews that Jeanna says she doesn't want the drama anymore, but she's the one who creates most of it. Tamra: "Jeanna's the girl who will fart in a room and turn around and say 'who did that?'" HAHA. You can take Tamra out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of Tamra.
NEW HOUSEWIFE ALEXIS
Alexis tells us she and her husband, Jim, have been married for 4 years. They wanted a very structured marriage where GOD was first, marriage was second and kids were third. They have 20 month old twins, Melania and MacKenna, and a 3 year old named James. She's a stay at home mom with TWO NANNIES. Good Lord. Her goal is to be the best wife and mom she can be. I'm sure that's easy to do with TWO NANNIES for THREE KIDS. Obnoxious. Jim says that God is #1 in their lives. It's so funny to hear such materialistic people talk about how important God is in their lives and with such a straight botoxed face. HAHA. Jim is a "business man". He buys businesses and then sells them after they make him $$. Jim is giving Alexis a hard time for allowing their 3 year old to come and sleep in their bed in the middle of the night. It forces Jim to go sleep in James' bed and he thinks James is "working" Alexis. Alexis tries to defend herself and Jim asks her why she is talking so loudly. He says that she talks loud and people stare at them. So, she lowers her voice and asks if it's better. WTF? Her wedding ring is the most gawdy piece of jewelry. It's ENORMOUS and completely ridiculous. She's also way high maintenance with food. She orders a Cadillac Margherita ... with Patron Silver, a little bit of Grand Marnier, two fresh limes squeezed in it with soda water and only salt on part of the rim. GOOD LORD. Are you f-ing kiddig me?? TOO MUCH. Everything about this couple is just TOO MUCH.
VICKI
Jeanna comes over to visit Vicki. Jeanna says that she went to Kara's initiation or whatever it's called for her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. I will refrain from saying anything negative about the Kappa's at UCLA because I had several friends in that sorority when I was at UCLA and they are all wonderful and amazing girls. Jeanna says that all the girls in Kappa are beautiful so Kara doesn't have any ugly friends, which is upsetting because "everyone needs an ugly friend." Wow. Jeanna says that she called Tamra to ask if Vicki was mad at her because Vicki never talks to Jeanna anymore. Vicki tells Jeanna that it's weird to call Tamra and that she should just call Vicki. Calling Tamra is "high school shit". Agreed. Vicki said that she felt that there was weirdness between her and Jeanna so she just backed away for a bit. Vicki interviews that things have been awkward with her and Jeanna. She and Jeanna had some business dealings that didn't go well and she never felt that Jeanna had her back. Vicki says that Jeanna is toxic and decided not to have Jeanna in her life as much anymore. I think that's fair. She's nice to Jeanna but she doesn't need to be friends with her. I have people like that in my life. I totally get it.
Jeanna says that she's not going to the La Perla event and Vicki pretends to care. Jeanna says that she's not as close to Vicki as she used to be because Vicki is not very sensitive to people's "problems". Read: Vicki didn't loan her $$. Jeanna asks Vicki to tell her if anyone talks shit about her. Vicki interviews that she thinks Jeanna needs to get her house in order. She says that a lot of things Jeanna did were mean and hurtful and Vicki is DONE.
GRETCHEN
Gretchen tells Slade that she's excited for him to meet her new friend, Kelly. Slade asks how they met and she tells him it was at a charity event. Oh no...is Gretchen in some D-List celebrity Junior League??? Gretchen tells Slade that Kelly and her husband own "Barcelona" which is where they are going tonight. They walk into the party and the theme is "Pink & White" so Gretchen is in a hot pink dress and Slade is wearing a pink shirt. Gretchen runs up to Kelly (who is in a white poofy dress) and the girls scream when they see each other. There are burlesque dancers, pole dancers and all types of half naked dancers around the party and, of course, Cosmos. Gretchen says that it's fun to go to these extravagant events because - considering their financial situation - they don't know when they'll get to do this again. Gretchen and Slade are totally making out on the dance floor. She's STILL wearing the engagement ring. Gretchen gets drunk and starts pole dancing. Gretchen tells us that Slade loved it because she "got some lovin'" later. Gross.
The next day, they are both hungover. They start talking shit about Vicki and Tamra. Slade says they are jealous and he doesn't like them. He calls Tamra "Two Faced Barney" and Vicki "Ficky" because she's fake and she's icky. Slade is like a chick...seriously, I can't imagine any guy I've ever dated or am dating now ever talking like that about my friends or people we know. Or even just shit talking with me for that matter. Slade LOVES the drama. Slade says that Tamra talks shit about Gretchen because she's trying to make herself feel better about herself.
TAMRA
Tamra is cleaning her house and getting ready for Jim and Alexis to come over. Simon asks Tamra if she liked Jim and Alexis. She says she does and that they remind her of her and Simon. Simon says that Tamra is way better looking. I agree. Instead of thanking her husband for the sweet compliment, she tells him to shut up and says that doesn't matter. Because NOW it's what's inside that really counts, Tamra? Hello? Look in the mirror!!
Jim, Alexis, their kids and A NANNY come over. Alexis is in a RIDICULOUS dress with her fake boobs hanging out and she's wearing a stupid fedora. Alexis tells us that having three kids this age is a huge headache so they take a nanny pretty much everywhere. Because it's way too hard for two parents to take care of their 3 kids when they are trying to look hot in front of everyone else. They are the perfect example of people who had kids for the Christmas card. Tamra says she's having serious jealousy issues re: Alexis. I'm not sure why. Yes, Alexis is tall and skinny with huge fake boobs. But, she's a total "butter face"... You know? Hot body, but her face (cringe). Tamra is shorter, but still skinny and has big boobs AND she's really pretty. I mean, really? Who cares? Jim is gross and Simon is a dick but he's cute. Apparently, Alexis' ring is 18 carats. These people have too much money. They are all inside Tamra's kitchen eating and Simon and Tamra start bickering. Tamra says it's frustrating to see a couple in a great relationship.
LYNNE
Lynne has the UGLIEST house from the outside. It looks like a 1960's apartment complex. Thank GOD they are moving. Alexa tells us that the family relationship is going downhill. She says that everyone is so busy except for her. She's always home alone...ALWAYS. Lynne tells us that they had been leasing the house and their lease is up so it's the perfect time to downsize. Lynne says that Frank's construction business has done really badly these past couple of years. Frank tells us that he made some really poor real estate investments, also. Lynne's business is keeping them afloat, but it's been hard.
ALEXIS
Gretchen and Alexis have a mutual friend so they've known each other for about a year. They are at the gym together and go to a spinning class. I love spinning class. Jim loves that Alexis works out...you know, so he doesn't have to worry about growing old with a frumpy wife. What about you, Alexis??? Your husband is already frumpy, but you still love him. Shouldn't he just love YOU no matter what? I guess not. Alexis tells Gretchen that she does spinning once a week. She can't do it more because she doesn't have time...she does "bar class" one day, weights one day, running one day. Hmmm...what about KIDS?? Oh right, two nannies.
Gretchen tells Alexis that she's bringing Slade to the La Perla event and Alexis says she's bringing Jim. Gretchen asks if Alexis has met any of the other girls, yet. Alexis says that she's met Tamra but that's it. Gretchen starts talking smack about Vicki and Alexis interviews that she's nervous about meeting Vicki.
JEANNA
Jeanna and Kara are having lunch. Jeanna interviews that she doesn't need to spoil her kids with money because she spoils them with time - something they didn't get when she was working like crazy. Kara asks her mom if she'd want to get married again. Then Kara says that she likes the thought of her mom getting married again. WOW. That's not one you hear too often. Kara interviews that she just wants to be in a wedding. Oh jeez. Kara thinks that Shane will never get married because he's 23 years old and he's never said "I love you" to a woman. Um...is that the criteria?? Really? Kara says she's been in love 57 times. That's infatuation and lust, Kara...not love. Oh and serious "daddy" issues.
LA PERLA EVENT
A bunch of models are walking around in lingeree. Gretchen tells us that she loves going to private parties because it makes her feel really special. She goes and starts trying stuff on for Slade. Eww. Tamra, Simon, Alexis and Jim show up and Slade tells Gretchen he heard Tamra's obnoxious cackle. Lynne decided to bring Alexa because going to La Perla seemed like a good mother-daughter thing to do. Lynne and Alexa meet Jim and AlexIS. Lynne is full of compliments and then tells them that she and her daughter are there to buy a bikini. She proceeds to tell them that she and Alexa are the same size so they can share clothes. Why would a 45 year old woman want to "share clothes" with her 17 year old daughter?? People in the OC are f-ing crazy. Alexis says she can't wait to do that with her daughters. Lynne can't believe she had twins and asks if she had a surrogate.
Someone asks Alexis if she's going to try anything on and she says no. JIM tells us that it's not their "reality" for Alexis to try on Lingeree in a store and come out with it on while there are other men in the store. Tamra asks why Jim doesn't go into the dressing room with Alexis while she tries stuff on. Alexis agrees, but it's clear, Jim makes those decisions for them. It's kind of funny because they are holier than thou about lingeree and people seeing her in that, but she was parading herself around in a string bikini at Tamra's house and apparently that was acceptable. Alexis tells us that she likes to be sexy...I mean, she is only 32. All the girls are in the dressing room trying stuff on (except for Sister Alexis). Gretchen and Tamra are in dressing rooms next to each other and they both peek out at the same time and see each other. Tamra interviews that she doesn't want to fight anymore. They decide to play nice so there isn't drama everytime they are around each other. Uh-oh, what is BRAVO going to think about that?
JEANNA
Jeanna is home with all of her kids. Kara and Shane are in LA and Colton is finishing high school, but they are all home with Jeanna this weekend. She's really happy to have them all at home. Kara tells her family that she got 3 As and a B in summer school. Colton asks what she wants to do after college. Kara: "Make a lot of money." Jeanna asks if they know the difference between a job and a career. Kara says that working at pink taco is a job and Shane says that being a stripper is a career. HA. Kara asks the boys if one of them can be a pro baseball player so she doesn't have to work ever again. Doesn't always work out that way, Kara. Just ask your MOM!!! Kara asks her mom where Vicki is. Jeanna tells her that they don't hang out as much because Vicki is so busy with work. Kara interviews that she's worried that her mom has lost a lot of her friendships. Jeanna interviews that the housewives are all about drama and she can't deal with it anymore.
LA PERLA
Vicki finally shows up to La Perla ... ALONE. Why didn't she bring Don?? Alexis says that everyone warned her about Vicki, but she met her and it was fine. She didn't understand what everyone was talking about. Vicki says that what she's working on this season is being nicer. She's guilty of judging people and she's trying to be better. I like Vicki. Maybe it's because she reminds me a lot of myself. She is opinionated and independant and she "judges" other people who lack ambition and depend on their husbands for EVERYTHING. I understand that. I feel that way, too. But, I definitely think Vicki can be a little extreme in her opinions/judgements. I'm glad she recognizes that and is working on it this season. Good for her. Everyone is getting along and it looked like a fun night. Tamra: "It was a really good night. Everyone got to meet Alexis and Gretchen and I didn't try to kill each other."
JEANNA
Kara asks if Jeanna would ever move to Beverly Hills. I don't think Jeanna would. Jeanna is SO Orange County. She doesn't have all the plastic surgery, but she's obsessed with money and things. Beverly Hills is probably a lot like that, but I don't think Jeanna can afford it. The kids start talking about how much Jeanna has been partying now that she's single. Shane interviews that all the guys she's been dating are fathers of his friends. He likes that because they are familiar and he knows about them...and he knows where they live. Sweet. Kara says she's not spending the night because her brothers have sex in her bed. Gross. Then she asks Shane if he's ever said "I love you" to a girl. He says he's said it to his mom (aahhh) and Kara says "AND ME!". I really like these guys. They have finally matured a little more so they aren't fighting all the time like in the past seasons. They enjoy being together and laugh a lot. Cute. Great, right when they get tolerable, Jeanna quits the show.
Jeanna says she's done with the housewives. She and Vicki used to be friends, but now that friendship is broken and can never be repaired. Then she says that Tamra likes to be the mean girl and she's not down with that. Jeanna admits she was a mean girl to Lynne in the beginning. And Jeanna and Gretchen have always been friends. Jeanna is going to focus on herself. She has no regrets but she's glad this phase of her life is over...for now. Bye, Jeanna.
See you next week.
GRETCHEN
Gretchen and Slade are at the Valley Ho Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. They are there to attend a big birthday celebration for Gretchen's friend, Kelly. Tamra interviews that 2 weeks after Jeff died, Slade moved in with Gretchen. Slade tells Gretchen that he loves her and she says she loves him, too. And he says even though he's poor. Gretchen says that they are not poor, they just need to make smart financial decisions right now. Slade is so slimy looking. Gretchen tells Slade that she used to be super thrifty, but then she met Jeff and he totally spoiled her. Gretchen tells us that Slade jokes about being poor because he IS poor!! HAHA. Wow. No wonder he keeps banging housewives. Gretchen has cash and a HOUSE from Jeff, so Slade can live off of her for awhile. Yikes. Slade tells Gretchen that he realizes that spending time with Gretchen and his family far outweighs money. Yes, well, that's because you don't have any!! He tells Gretchen that he wants to marry her and have kids with her...as the camera zooms in on her ENGAGEMENT RING FROM JEFF!!! Then she reminds him that she wants 4 kids and Slade says he's good with that. Um, if you're poor, you can't afford FOUR MORE KIDS, Slade.
JEANNA
Tamra decides to stop by Jeanna's house. Tamra is hosting a high end event at La Perla and she hasn't heard from Jeanna whether or not she's coming. Jeanna tells Tamra that she doesn't need any lingeree and that she can't handle all the drama with the girls. It's clear Jeanna doesn't want to spend time with the housewives anymore. She tells Tamra that she's got houses to show and that all her kids are home, so she's making dinner. AND, she says that Matt is home, too. Jeanna says that he got his second DUI and, if he gets jail time, he'll probably blame her. Um, why is he staying at the house?? Aren't they divorced? WTF? Jeanna is like a battered wife. Matt is so verbally and emotionally abusive. Jeanna says their divorce will be final in about a month, but they have so many properties that it complicates matters. Tamra says that Jeanna told her she was dating so how does that work with Matt in the house. Jeanna says that it's AWKWARD. Ya think?
Jeanna asks Tamra about her and Gretchen. Tamra says that Gretchen just needs to tell her that Tamra was right and things would be fine. Jeanna says that maybe Gretchen did really love Jeff. Tamra says that it wasn't about that, it's that Gretchen is a pathological liar. Jeanna interviews that Tamra needs to apologize because she had no right to question or judge another person's relationship. Tamra is upset that Jeanna thinks she needs to apologize. Tamra interviews that Jeanna says she doesn't want the drama anymore, but she's the one who creates most of it. Tamra: "Jeanna's the girl who will fart in a room and turn around and say 'who did that?'" HAHA. You can take Tamra out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of Tamra.
NEW HOUSEWIFE ALEXIS
Alexis tells us she and her husband, Jim, have been married for 4 years. They wanted a very structured marriage where GOD was first, marriage was second and kids were third. They have 20 month old twins, Melania and MacKenna, and a 3 year old named James. She's a stay at home mom with TWO NANNIES. Good Lord. Her goal is to be the best wife and mom she can be. I'm sure that's easy to do with TWO NANNIES for THREE KIDS. Obnoxious. Jim says that God is #1 in their lives. It's so funny to hear such materialistic people talk about how important God is in their lives and with such a straight botoxed face. HAHA. Jim is a "business man". He buys businesses and then sells them after they make him $$. Jim is giving Alexis a hard time for allowing their 3 year old to come and sleep in their bed in the middle of the night. It forces Jim to go sleep in James' bed and he thinks James is "working" Alexis. Alexis tries to defend herself and Jim asks her why she is talking so loudly. He says that she talks loud and people stare at them. So, she lowers her voice and asks if it's better. WTF? Her wedding ring is the most gawdy piece of jewelry. It's ENORMOUS and completely ridiculous. She's also way high maintenance with food. She orders a Cadillac Margherita ... with Patron Silver, a little bit of Grand Marnier, two fresh limes squeezed in it with soda water and only salt on part of the rim. GOOD LORD. Are you f-ing kiddig me?? TOO MUCH. Everything about this couple is just TOO MUCH.
VICKI
Jeanna comes over to visit Vicki. Jeanna says that she went to Kara's initiation or whatever it's called for her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. I will refrain from saying anything negative about the Kappa's at UCLA because I had several friends in that sorority when I was at UCLA and they are all wonderful and amazing girls. Jeanna says that all the girls in Kappa are beautiful so Kara doesn't have any ugly friends, which is upsetting because "everyone needs an ugly friend." Wow. Jeanna says that she called Tamra to ask if Vicki was mad at her because Vicki never talks to Jeanna anymore. Vicki tells Jeanna that it's weird to call Tamra and that she should just call Vicki. Calling Tamra is "high school shit". Agreed. Vicki said that she felt that there was weirdness between her and Jeanna so she just backed away for a bit. Vicki interviews that things have been awkward with her and Jeanna. She and Jeanna had some business dealings that didn't go well and she never felt that Jeanna had her back. Vicki says that Jeanna is toxic and decided not to have Jeanna in her life as much anymore. I think that's fair. She's nice to Jeanna but she doesn't need to be friends with her. I have people like that in my life. I totally get it.
Jeanna says that she's not going to the La Perla event and Vicki pretends to care. Jeanna says that she's not as close to Vicki as she used to be because Vicki is not very sensitive to people's "problems". Read: Vicki didn't loan her $$. Jeanna asks Vicki to tell her if anyone talks shit about her. Vicki interviews that she thinks Jeanna needs to get her house in order. She says that a lot of things Jeanna did were mean and hurtful and Vicki is DONE.
GRETCHEN
Gretchen tells Slade that she's excited for him to meet her new friend, Kelly. Slade asks how they met and she tells him it was at a charity event. Oh no...is Gretchen in some D-List celebrity Junior League??? Gretchen tells Slade that Kelly and her husband own "Barcelona" which is where they are going tonight. They walk into the party and the theme is "Pink & White" so Gretchen is in a hot pink dress and Slade is wearing a pink shirt. Gretchen runs up to Kelly (who is in a white poofy dress) and the girls scream when they see each other. There are burlesque dancers, pole dancers and all types of half naked dancers around the party and, of course, Cosmos. Gretchen says that it's fun to go to these extravagant events because - considering their financial situation - they don't know when they'll get to do this again. Gretchen and Slade are totally making out on the dance floor. She's STILL wearing the engagement ring. Gretchen gets drunk and starts pole dancing. Gretchen tells us that Slade loved it because she "got some lovin'" later. Gross.
The next day, they are both hungover. They start talking shit about Vicki and Tamra. Slade says they are jealous and he doesn't like them. He calls Tamra "Two Faced Barney" and Vicki "Ficky" because she's fake and she's icky. Slade is like a chick...seriously, I can't imagine any guy I've ever dated or am dating now ever talking like that about my friends or people we know. Or even just shit talking with me for that matter. Slade LOVES the drama. Slade says that Tamra talks shit about Gretchen because she's trying to make herself feel better about herself.
TAMRA
Tamra is cleaning her house and getting ready for Jim and Alexis to come over. Simon asks Tamra if she liked Jim and Alexis. She says she does and that they remind her of her and Simon. Simon says that Tamra is way better looking. I agree. Instead of thanking her husband for the sweet compliment, she tells him to shut up and says that doesn't matter. Because NOW it's what's inside that really counts, Tamra? Hello? Look in the mirror!!
Jim, Alexis, their kids and A NANNY come over. Alexis is in a RIDICULOUS dress with her fake boobs hanging out and she's wearing a stupid fedora. Alexis tells us that having three kids this age is a huge headache so they take a nanny pretty much everywhere. Because it's way too hard for two parents to take care of their 3 kids when they are trying to look hot in front of everyone else. They are the perfect example of people who had kids for the Christmas card. Tamra says she's having serious jealousy issues re: Alexis. I'm not sure why. Yes, Alexis is tall and skinny with huge fake boobs. But, she's a total "butter face"... You know? Hot body, but her face (cringe). Tamra is shorter, but still skinny and has big boobs AND she's really pretty. I mean, really? Who cares? Jim is gross and Simon is a dick but he's cute. Apparently, Alexis' ring is 18 carats. These people have too much money. They are all inside Tamra's kitchen eating and Simon and Tamra start bickering. Tamra says it's frustrating to see a couple in a great relationship.
LYNNE
Lynne has the UGLIEST house from the outside. It looks like a 1960's apartment complex. Thank GOD they are moving. Alexa tells us that the family relationship is going downhill. She says that everyone is so busy except for her. She's always home alone...ALWAYS. Lynne tells us that they had been leasing the house and their lease is up so it's the perfect time to downsize. Lynne says that Frank's construction business has done really badly these past couple of years. Frank tells us that he made some really poor real estate investments, also. Lynne's business is keeping them afloat, but it's been hard.
ALEXIS
Gretchen and Alexis have a mutual friend so they've known each other for about a year. They are at the gym together and go to a spinning class. I love spinning class. Jim loves that Alexis works out...you know, so he doesn't have to worry about growing old with a frumpy wife. What about you, Alexis??? Your husband is already frumpy, but you still love him. Shouldn't he just love YOU no matter what? I guess not. Alexis tells Gretchen that she does spinning once a week. She can't do it more because she doesn't have time...she does "bar class" one day, weights one day, running one day. Hmmm...what about KIDS?? Oh right, two nannies.
Gretchen tells Alexis that she's bringing Slade to the La Perla event and Alexis says she's bringing Jim. Gretchen asks if Alexis has met any of the other girls, yet. Alexis says that she's met Tamra but that's it. Gretchen starts talking smack about Vicki and Alexis interviews that she's nervous about meeting Vicki.
JEANNA
Jeanna and Kara are having lunch. Jeanna interviews that she doesn't need to spoil her kids with money because she spoils them with time - something they didn't get when she was working like crazy. Kara asks her mom if she'd want to get married again. Then Kara says that she likes the thought of her mom getting married again. WOW. That's not one you hear too often. Kara interviews that she just wants to be in a wedding. Oh jeez. Kara thinks that Shane will never get married because he's 23 years old and he's never said "I love you" to a woman. Um...is that the criteria?? Really? Kara says she's been in love 57 times. That's infatuation and lust, Kara...not love. Oh and serious "daddy" issues.
LA PERLA EVENT
A bunch of models are walking around in lingeree. Gretchen tells us that she loves going to private parties because it makes her feel really special. She goes and starts trying stuff on for Slade. Eww. Tamra, Simon, Alexis and Jim show up and Slade tells Gretchen he heard Tamra's obnoxious cackle. Lynne decided to bring Alexa because going to La Perla seemed like a good mother-daughter thing to do. Lynne and Alexa meet Jim and AlexIS. Lynne is full of compliments and then tells them that she and her daughter are there to buy a bikini. She proceeds to tell them that she and Alexa are the same size so they can share clothes. Why would a 45 year old woman want to "share clothes" with her 17 year old daughter?? People in the OC are f-ing crazy. Alexis says she can't wait to do that with her daughters. Lynne can't believe she had twins and asks if she had a surrogate.
Someone asks Alexis if she's going to try anything on and she says no. JIM tells us that it's not their "reality" for Alexis to try on Lingeree in a store and come out with it on while there are other men in the store. Tamra asks why Jim doesn't go into the dressing room with Alexis while she tries stuff on. Alexis agrees, but it's clear, Jim makes those decisions for them. It's kind of funny because they are holier than thou about lingeree and people seeing her in that, but she was parading herself around in a string bikini at Tamra's house and apparently that was acceptable. Alexis tells us that she likes to be sexy...I mean, she is only 32. All the girls are in the dressing room trying stuff on (except for Sister Alexis). Gretchen and Tamra are in dressing rooms next to each other and they both peek out at the same time and see each other. Tamra interviews that she doesn't want to fight anymore. They decide to play nice so there isn't drama everytime they are around each other. Uh-oh, what is BRAVO going to think about that?
JEANNA
Jeanna is home with all of her kids. Kara and Shane are in LA and Colton is finishing high school, but they are all home with Jeanna this weekend. She's really happy to have them all at home. Kara tells her family that she got 3 As and a B in summer school. Colton asks what she wants to do after college. Kara: "Make a lot of money." Jeanna asks if they know the difference between a job and a career. Kara says that working at pink taco is a job and Shane says that being a stripper is a career. HA. Kara asks the boys if one of them can be a pro baseball player so she doesn't have to work ever again. Doesn't always work out that way, Kara. Just ask your MOM!!! Kara asks her mom where Vicki is. Jeanna tells her that they don't hang out as much because Vicki is so busy with work. Kara interviews that she's worried that her mom has lost a lot of her friendships. Jeanna interviews that the housewives are all about drama and she can't deal with it anymore.
LA PERLA
Vicki finally shows up to La Perla ... ALONE. Why didn't she bring Don?? Alexis says that everyone warned her about Vicki, but she met her and it was fine. She didn't understand what everyone was talking about. Vicki says that what she's working on this season is being nicer. She's guilty of judging people and she's trying to be better. I like Vicki.

The City, Season Two, Episode 21
Last time on The City: Kelly was an awesome BITCH, Roxy was a bad friend and Olivia was annoying.
Whitney and Roxy are having lunch and talking about calling pest control. Apparently, there's a squirrel in Whit's apartment. How does that even happen? Whit tells Roxy that Sami is setting her up with some guy and she's going out with him tonight. Apparently, he works at Bergdorf's with Sami...um, is he straight?? This is Whit's FIRST blind date. Roxy says that she has a date with Zac again tonight. Although, she has a feeling in her tummy that something is just not right with him. But that makes her even more attracted to him...not ok.
OPENING CREDITS
"Forget About Boys"
Elle Magazine. Olivia walks in and Joe tells her that he needs her help. They are having a photo shoot with Brooklyn Decker (Andy Roddick's wife) and he needs her to get the accessories together and organized so that the shoot goes smoothly. He tells her that it's "men's wear" inspired so Olivia should pick out more masculine accessories. OMG! I just laughed out loud. Joe says that Brooklyn is so sexy, she can pull off men's accessories. Joe: "I love a men's watch on a woman." Olivia: "Me too. I love it. It's the sexiest thing." STFU, Olivia. So dumb. Erin is walking by and hears them chatting and walks in. She tells Joe that she's excited to meet Brooklyn and Joe tells her she should come to the shoot to go over PR stuff with Brooklyn and Erin says she'll definitely be there. The three get silent and look at each other. Awkward.
Bar Artisanal, Tribeca. Whit meets her blind date, Patrick. She asks if she made him wait long. He says yes, but it's all good. HA! Then he notices that she's "rockin' some bling this evening." I like him. She asks what he does and he says that he convinces people to buy expensive clothes. HAHA. Then he asks Whit if she shops on 5F. Whit says "What's that, like, Fifth Avenue?" and then realizes that it's the floor he works on at Bergdorf and they both laugh. Whit, don't be dumb. He jokes that he's talking slang. Then he says that he told his roommate to meet him at "LV" the other day and Whit asks what that is. He says "Are you serious? Louis Vuitton." HELLO?? Even I knew that, Whit. I don't think Whit gets his humor. He's a little tiny bit effeminite. Just slightly. They aren't talking and it gets awkward.
Madam Geneva, Noho. Roxy meets Zac for dinner. She asks him about his friends and he tells her that she'll meet them. Then she asks what happened with him and his girlfriend. Rookie move, Roxy. Why ask him that? Does she really want to know? He tells her that they broke up. Done and done. Roxy says she thinks it's more complicated than that. He says it was, but he's making it simple. Ha. Roxy tells him that her ex was CRAZY.
Bar Artisanal, Tribeca. Blind date is still awkward. Patrick asks Whit if he can try some of her watermelon. She says yes and he tries some. She tells him that the point is to eat it with the cheese and he tells her that he will keep that in mind. I think Whit doesn't like this guy because he has a personality, he's too smart for her and he's not falling all over her. WOW...it just got super awkward. The bill comes and he says "let's join forces". Whit says "join forces?" and he says "Yeah. Team up." HAHAHA. Basically, this guy sees that the date is going nowhere, so he figures why should he have to pay. It's a blind date...he didn't ask her out. Fair is fair. It's just funny because Whit is super insulted. I actually understand. I'm a little traditional on a first date...I think the guy should pick up the bill. I know...it's not very "women's lib" of me, but that's just what I think.
Whit's Apartment, West Village. Whit tells Roxy that the date was "kind of a nightmare". She says that he started out by complimenting her "bling" and then had all these abbreviations, like "LV" for Louis Vuitton. Not entirely accurate. If she understood his humor, she would know that he was actually making fun of her by calling it "bling" and assumed - because she's in fashion - that she would know LV. Then she says the best part of the night was when the bill came and he told her they should "join forces". She says she didn't mind splitting but it was the way he said it - "join forces" - that bothered her. Then she asks about Roxy's date. Roxy says that she likes how grounded Zac is and that she's not sure if she "likes him, likes him" but after hearing about Whit's date, Zac is Prince Charming. Tonight she's going to see him again and this time she's bringing Whit.
Brooklyn Decker Photo Shoot, Midtown East. Joe tells Olivia he wants to see "preppie" and "wasp-y" in the looks. Erin walks in and she and Joe go to meet Brooklyn. They go up to the roof where the photoshoot is taking place and Joe tells Erin that Olivia is getting it. He also concedes that maybe it's because she knows "preppie" and "wasp-y" styles, but whatever. Joe keeps praising her and Erin says "Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. All she did was pull one outfit that looks exactly like her." He tells Erin that with proper management, Olivia can do well. Erin, correctly, asks who has time to micro manage her to make sure she doesn't screw up. Then she asks if maybe Joe's expectations for Olivia are a little low. They go back and forth. Finally Erin says that she doesn't know why she has to hold Olivia's hand because no one held hers. The photo shoot is going on and Joe is about to leave. He tells Erin and Olivia about a dinner party he's having and invites them both to stop by.
The Gates, Chelsea. Whit, Roxy and Sami go to The Gates and Roxy says that she invited Zac and told him to bring his hot friends. Zac comes in with 6 girls and tells Roxy that the table she has is too small so he and his friends are going to find a bigger table. Then Roxy says "ok, I guess I'll see you later" and he says "ok, cool" and walks away. NOT OK. Whit and Sami are totally disgusted by Zac's behavior. His friends ask what the deal is and Zac tells them that Roxy is his friend from LA and she has a crush on him. WOW. Ego much? He said he asked her out to drinks and said he would introduce her to some people. His friend asks if she thought "drinks" was a date and Zac says "some might think that". What a douche.
Zac comes over to talk to Roxy and she goes off. She tells him that SHE invited him out with HER friends and asked him to bring some hot guys (for her friends) and he shows up with 6 girls. She tells him he's RUDE. He says that she invited him to a club that he goes to anyway. And, he comes over to say hi and she attacks him. Roxy says she doesn't even want to talk to him anymore and he gets up and thanks her for inviting him.
Rouge Tomate, Upper East Side. Joe is having his dinner party with the band COBRA STARSHIP, Erin, Olivia and the Editor in Chief of ELLE, Robbie Myers. The band and Robbie are asking about the photo shoot with Brooklyn and if Olivia and Erin worked together. Joe jumps in and says that they worked really well together and that he loves Olivia's eye for fashion. Erin is visibly annoyed. Robbie says she needs a dress for a Hollywood event. Joe says that the girls can help and Erin can do the PR stuff. Then Erin suggests that they pick 5 celebs including Robbie and do a shoot with them getting ready for the event. Olivia says that getting ready is a private thing and Erin tells her that they aren't going in her bedroom. Robbie notes that they make a good team and Olivia says "Indeed". Erin hates Olivia.
Joe and Robbie leave and Olivia, a senior editor, Erin and the band stay and continue to eat. They ask Olivia if she's into music and she says that she loves music. Her favorite is "house" music and that she has always been the biggest hip hop fan. So the lead singer asks her if she likes "Tribe" and Olivia looks confused, so he clarifies "Tribe Called Quest" and Olivia says that she's never heard of them. Dumbass. How can you "love hip hop" and not know Tribe Called Quest. Olivia excuses herself and after she leaves, Erin bitches about her to the band and the senior editor. Not very professional, Erin.
People's Revolution. Whit asks Roxy what was up with Zac. She says she has no idea...he was acting different, he dressed totally different, and he was with "has been", old models. Whit and Roxy are totally chatting loudly at their desks and Kelly keeps looking over at them. The other employees are also listening and looking at them. Kelly interrupts and asks Whit to come into her office. Whit walks in and Kelly says "Do not make listen to that. It's bad enough I have to hear Roxy's voice in my office, but to hear you guys talk about boys when I'm trying to run a freakin' company during this recession" OMG. Seriously, every boss in America is loving the "in this economy" and "during the recession" excuse for EVERYTHING. JEEZ. Whit says she's sorry and Kelly says that she should be. Kelly: "First of all, it's not appropriate for our office, but secondly, if you told me you wanted to be a cook or a librarian, I'd be like, do whatever the f*** you want. But you want to be a fashion designer, you have to work your ass off. And aside from your early sketches, you haven't shown me anything yet. Forget about boys, you gotta stay focused on the task at hand. You've got a collection to make. So stop wasting your time and mine, alright? And watch out for hanging out with kooks, ok. Because Roxy doesn't have the same pressures that you have. It's apples and oranges. So don't f*** around, Ok?" SNAP! Love that woman.
See you next week.
Whitney and Roxy are having lunch and talking about calling pest control. Apparently, there's a squirrel in Whit's apartment. How does that even happen? Whit tells Roxy that Sami is setting her up with some guy and she's going out with him tonight. Apparently, he works at Bergdorf's with Sami...um, is he straight?? This is Whit's FIRST blind date. Roxy says that she has a date with Zac again tonight. Although, she has a feeling in her tummy that something is just not right with him. But that makes her even more attracted to him...not ok.

I don't think Whit gets his humor. He's a little tiny bit effeminite. Just slightly. They aren't talking and it gets awkward.
Madam Geneva, Noho. Roxy meets Zac for dinner. She asks him about his friends and he tells her that she'll meet them. Then she asks what happened with him and his girlfriend. Rookie move, Roxy. Why ask him that? Does she really want to know? He tells her that they broke up. Done and done. Roxy says she thinks it's more complicated than that. He says it was, but he's making it simple. Ha. Roxy tells him that her ex was CRAZY.
Bar Artisanal, Tribeca. Blind date is still awkward. Patrick asks Whit if he can try some of her watermelon. She says yes and he tries some. She tells him that the point is to eat it with the cheese and he tells her that he will keep that in mind. I think Whit doesn't like this guy because he has a personality, he's too smart for her and he's not falling all over her. WOW...it just got super awkward. The bill comes and he says "let's join forces". Whit says "join forces?" and he says "Yeah. Team up." HAHAHA. Basically, this guy sees that the date is going nowhere, so he figures why should he have to pay. It's a blind date...he didn't ask her out. Fair is fair. It's just funny because Whit is super insulted. I actually understand. I'm a little traditional on a first date...I think the guy should pick up the bill. I know...it's not very "women's lib" of me, but that's just what I think.
Whit's Apartment, West Village. Whit tells Roxy that the date was "kind of a nightmare". She says that he started out by complimenting her "bling" and then had all these abbreviations, like "LV" for Louis Vuitton. Not entirely accurate. If she understood his humor, she would know that he was actually making fun of her by calling it "bling" and assumed - because she's in fashion - that she would know LV. Then she says the best part of the night was when the bill came and he told her they should "join forces". She says she didn't mind splitting but it was the way he said it - "join forces" - that bothered her. Then she asks about Roxy's date. Roxy says that she likes how grounded Zac is and that she's not sure if she "likes him, likes him" but after hearing about Whit's date, Zac is Prince Charming. Tonight she's going to see him again and this time she's bringing Whit.
Brooklyn Decker Photo Shoot, Midtown East. Joe tells Olivia he wants to see "preppie" and "wasp-y" in the looks. Erin walks in and she and Joe go to meet Brooklyn. They go up to the roof where the photoshoot is taking place and Joe tells Erin that Olivia is getting it. He also concedes that maybe it's because she knows "preppie" and "wasp-y" styles, but whatever. Joe keeps praising her and Erin says "Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. All she did was pull one outfit that looks exactly like her." He tells Erin that with proper management, Olivia can do well. Erin, correctly, asks who has time to micro manage her to make sure she doesn't screw up. Then she asks if maybe Joe's expectations for Olivia are a little low. They go back and forth. Finally Erin says that she doesn't know why she has to hold Olivia's hand because no one held hers. The photo shoot is going on and Joe is about to leave. He tells Erin and Olivia about a dinner party he's having and invites them both to stop by.
The Gates, Chelsea. Whit, Roxy and Sami go to The Gates and Roxy says that she invited Zac and told him to bring his hot friends. Zac comes in with 6 girls and tells Roxy that the table she has is too small so he and his friends are going to find a bigger table. Then Roxy says "ok, I guess I'll see you later" and he says "ok, cool" and walks away. NOT OK. Whit and Sami are totally disgusted by Zac's behavior. His friends ask what the deal is and Zac tells them that Roxy is his friend from LA and she has a crush on him. WOW. Ego much? He said he asked her out to drinks and said he would introduce her to some people. His friend asks if she thought "drinks" was a date and Zac says "some might think that". What a douche.
Zac comes over to talk to Roxy and she goes off. She tells him that SHE invited him out with HER friends and asked him to bring some hot guys (for her friends) and he shows up with 6 girls. She tells him he's RUDE. He says that she invited him to a club that he goes to anyway. And, he comes over to say hi and she attacks him. Roxy says she doesn't even want to talk to him anymore and he gets up and thanks her for inviting him.
Rouge Tomate, Upper East Side. Joe is having his dinner party with the band COBRA STARSHIP, Erin, Olivia and the Editor in Chief of ELLE, Robbie Myers. The band and Robbie are asking about the photo shoot with Brooklyn and if Olivia and Erin worked together. Joe jumps in and says that they worked really well together and that he loves Olivia's eye for fashion. Erin is visibly annoyed. Robbie says she needs a dress for a Hollywood event. Joe says that the girls can help and Erin can do the PR stuff. Then Erin suggests that they pick 5 celebs including Robbie and do a shoot with them getting ready for the event. Olivia says that getting ready is a private thing and Erin tells her that they aren't going in her bedroom. Robbie notes that they make a good team and Olivia says "Indeed". Erin hates Olivia.
Joe and Robbie leave and Olivia, a senior editor, Erin and the band stay and continue to eat. They ask Olivia if she's into music and she says that she loves music. Her favorite is "house" music and that she has always been the biggest hip hop fan. So the lead singer asks her if she likes "Tribe" and Olivia looks confused, so he clarifies "Tribe Called Quest" and Olivia says that she's never heard of them. Dumbass. How can you "love hip hop" and not know Tribe Called Quest. Olivia excuses herself and after she leaves, Erin bitches about her to the band and the senior editor. Not very professional, Erin.
People's Revolution. Whit asks Roxy what was up with Zac. She says she has no idea...he was acting different, he dressed totally different, and he was with "has been", old models. Whit and Roxy are totally chatting loudly at their desks and Kelly keeps looking over at them. The other employees are also listening and looking at them. Kelly interrupts and asks Whit to come into her office. Whit walks in and Kelly says "Do not make listen to that. It's bad enough I have to hear Roxy's voice in my office, but to hear you guys talk about boys when I'm trying to run a freakin' company during this recession" OMG. Seriously, every boss in America is loving the "in this economy" and "during the recession" excuse for EVERYTHING. JEEZ. Whit says she's sorry and Kelly says that she should be. Kelly: "First of all, it's not appropriate for our office, but secondly, if you told me you wanted to be a cook or a librarian, I'd be like, do whatever the f*** you want. But you want to be a fashion designer, you have to work your ass off. And aside from your early sketches, you haven't shown me anything yet. Forget about boys, you gotta stay focused on the task at hand. You've got a collection to make. So stop wasting your time and mine, alright? And watch out for hanging out with kooks, ok. Because Roxy doesn't have the same pressures that you have. It's apples and oranges. So don't f*** around, Ok?" SNAP! Love that woman.
See you next week.

RW/RR Challenge: The Ruins, Episode 8
Last week: Johanna and Cohutta went home.
Everyone is getting drunk and celebrating KA's 23rd birthday. Dunbar decides he's not drinking for the rest of the challenge. He doesn't care that it's KA's birthday. Susie tells KA that there's no better way to celebrate your birthday than being in your "birthday suit". Because KA is drunk, she gets NAKED and runs around the house. Two words: TRAIN WRECK. Evan says that the Champions are "happy as pigs in shit." He's the king of the one-liners.
Brad is angry and venting to Susie about Casey doing crappy. Susie sympathizes and tells Brad that Casey is the Champion's best player. Susie tells him that she's holding all the cards. The Champions need her to win the challenges and they need her vote. She tells Brad that she's going to tell her team that she wants to go against Casey in the Ruins and, if they don't agree, she has an incentive to throw the challenge.
KA confronts Dunbar because apparently there's a rumor that KA and Dunbar slept together. Dunbar is denying that they had sex and denying that he started that rumor. She's drunk and slurring her anger. Brad takes her outside and tries to talk rationally to her. He tells her to wait until the next day to confront Dunbar, but she disagrees. And, she starts crying. OMG. Susie walks up and tries to stop the drama. Brad, why are you trying to reason with the crazy drunk girl.
KA goes into the bathroom and she's crying hysterically. Susie comes in and KA keeps saying that she's never had sex with Dunbar. She's sobbing. WTF? Susie tries to get her to have fun because it's her birthday. KA is not having it. Susie: "Well, at least you had cake." Nice.
Dunbar is talking to Kim. He tells her that KA was always open about wanting to f*** him and whispered in his ear everyday that she wanted him. Hmmm, I saw Real World Sydney and I do NOT remember that.
Brad is WASTED and he's really angry. He walks into the Champions' room and tells Darrell that he looks weak. Brad gets up in Darrell's face and Darrell's pushes him away. Brad says: "Let's roll, baby". He's totally picking a fight with Darrell. MEATHEAD. They start pushing each other. Darrell is trying to stay out of it. Brad is telling him to stand up. Brad is so angry. He keeps calling Darrell "son". Brad needs to calm down. Brad keeps yelling for Darrell to stand up and fight him and Darrell calls him a little bitch. That does it...Brad is REALLY PISSED now. He goes up to Darrell and pushes him and Darrell pushes him away. Evan tries to stop it from getting worse. Too late...Darrell pushes Brad to the floor and just starts punching his head over and over until Kenny, Evan and Bananas pull him off. Holy crap. Brad can't stand up and his eye is gushing blood. Brad runs out of the room and is out of control. The Producer finally catches up with Brad and kicks him out. HOLY SHIT...Brad's eye is FUCKED UP. It's HUGE. He can't even open it. Darrell goes home, too. Brad interviews that he was stressed and just lost it and he's sorry. Darrell also apologizes in his interview and says that he likes Brad. CRAZY.
Sarah fills KA in on the drama from the night before. Dunbar is the only guy left. He has to go into the Ruins each time from now on. KA brings up that Dunbar lied about sleeping with her. She's going nuts about it. WoW! Dunbar tells Kim that KA is sad because she's sleeping alone. KA is listening and keeps pushing him. He tells her to leave him alone and she says she won't leave him alone until he admits that he lied about sleeping with KA. OMG. She is the new Mayor of Crazytown.
They all go out into town for drinks. Susie says that Sarah is in love with Kenny. She also thinks that Kenny likes Sarah because he pulls her hair and treats her badly, like a school boy with a crush. Awesome. They all sit and eat and Bananas dares Kenny to make out with Sarah. Kenny refuses, so Sarah gets up and kisses Kenny. That's all he needs...more ego.
CHALLENGE
Nominations:
Champions: Kenny, Derrick, Bananas, Susie
Challengers: Dunbar, Kim, Casey, KA
The Game: "On the Fence" - There's a giant structure with a series of three chain link fences suspended over the edge of a 20 story building.

First up are Kim and Kenny. She is keeping up. Kenny wins, but Kim is not far behind. Next up are KA and Bananas. Bananas wins. Next, Evan and Dunbar race and Evan wins. Sarah and Derrick go next and Derrick is being crazy. He's shaking the fence to try and knock her off. Derrick wins. Finally, it's Casey and Susie. Casey is terrified, as usual. Susie kills it.

Champions win.
Deliberations: Kenny and Evan are talking about what they are going to do. They decide they are not letting Susie choose Casey. The boys pick Kim. They all vote Bananas in.
THE RUINS

See you next week.

The Hills, Season 5, Episode 518
Last time on The Hills: Kristin caused drama, Justin dumped Audrina, Spender was an idiot.
[For this post - and perhaps future posts - Sponge Bob will be Spender]
Grub, LA. Kristin and Brody are having brunch. They start reminiscing about the good ole days. Kristin tells Brody that Jayde texted her and wants to have lunch. Brody says that Kristin would be stupid to go ... so obviously, Kristin is going.
OPENING CREDITS
"Can't Always Get What You Want"
Office of Dr. Jordana Mansbacher, LA. Heidi goes to see the couple's therapist alone. Heidi tells the doc that she's married now and that's good. BUT, she wants kids sooner rather than later, but Spender doesn't want kids...at all. Which is not entirely true. Spender just wants to wait a few years. Heidi says that she thinks he wants kids, he just doesn't KNOW that he wants kids. Dumb. Heidi says that most 25 year old guys would say that they don't want kids if you ask them. Doc disagrees and says that there are a lot of guys who are more family-minded. Is that a word? The Doc says that before you get married it's really important to make sure you're on the same page about a lot of things. Heidi interrupts and says "We're already married. So, we're here." She's totally right. The doc is stupid for even saying that...maybe she should have said that BEFORE they got married. Dumb. The doc recovers and tells Heidi that she should wait on the baby thing. I think doc sees the writing on the wall for Speidi and the writing says "DIVORCE". Heidi asks "what if I go off the pill and surprise him?" Um, you mean "trap him"? Heidi: "Then he would be faced with having a kid and maybe he'd get really excited." Yeah, that always works out really well. If I were the doc, I'd say "Look psycho. That's a really bad idea." Instead, this doc says that Spender might feel like Heidi tricked him if she does that. Um, ya think? Then the doc says that the decision to have a baby has to be a rational decision not an emotional one.
Hollywood Billiards, Hollywood. Brody and his buddy, Taylor are playing pool. Frankie walks in and greets his friends. Taylor fills Frankie in on the fight between Jayde and Kristin. Then Taylor says that he likes Kristin and Brody together because Brody is much more fun when he's with Kristin than when he is with Jayde.
Citizen Smith, LA. Kristin is meeting Jayde for drinks. Jayde says that neither of them want to be there but she needs to talk to Kristin to find out what is going on. Kristin starts right in by asking Jayde if it would've been better to do this BEFORE "storming" at her with all of Jayde's friends at the club and cause the "biggest.scene.ever". Jayde says "not really, because..." and Kristin cuts her off and says "No? Because it's better to attack me at a club?" Ok, WTF? Kristin is delusional. Jayde did not "attack" her, she confronted Brody and KRISTIN involved herself in the confrontation. Jayde didn't bring her in. Kristin = dumbass. But, so is Jayde...I digress.
Anyhow, Jayde tells Kristin that she didn't attack Kristin. Kristin says she got hit and Jayde says that she did, too. Kristin says that Jayde was the instigator and Jayde says that she didn't come up to them to talk to Kristin...she went up there to talk to Brody. Kristin snarks to Jayde "Well then you might want to keep his leash a little tighter, Jayde". Jayde tells her that Kristin doesn't know shit about her relationship with Brody and Kristin getting involved is not helping. Kristin says that she's been friends with Brody for FIVE YEARS and she's never tried to come between him and Jayde. Jayde asks Kristin if she can see how it looks from her perspective.
Kristin says that if Brody was really happy with Jayde then she'd be happy for Brody, but he's not. Jayde tells Kristin: "Just because you've been back in town for a month doesn't mean you know what's going on. So for you to sit here and act like you know that he's not happy is bullshit." She's got a point. Jayde asks Kristin why she can't find any guys in the entire city of Hollywood besides JB and Brody who have been in relationships with people Kristin knows. Oh dang! Kristin gets defensive and tells Jayde not to bring JB into this. Kristin tells Jayde that she gave Audrina the opportunity to talk to her like Jayde is doing but Audrina blew her off so she doesn't owe Audrina anything. Jayde says that she doesn't like Audrina, either. Kristin asks again why Jayde is bringing up JB then. Jayde says that it just seems like a pattern with Kristin to date guys who are kind of still involved with their exes. Then Jayde says "Everything was fine before you came here, so you need to go back to wherever it is that you came from..." Kristin interrupts and says: "You're a real bitch. You are such a bitch, Jayde. I have to tell you, like, you're a bitch." And Kristin storms out.
Ok, 2 things. First, I hate it when two characters I don't like fight with each other because I feel compelled to side with someone I don't give a shit about. In this instance, it's Jayde. I think Kristin is being stupid and she should just remove herself from the drama instead of fueling the fire with name calling. So dumb. Second, Jayde is young, but she's clearly had botox or some other work on her face because she has NO EXPRESSIONS. Her forehead doesn't move. It's weird.
Toast, LA. Kristin is having lunch with Lo. So weird...they are not friends. Kristin fills Lo in on Jayde. Kristin and Lo call Jayde an animal because she attacked Kristin. But Kristin says that she respects Jayde for calling her to talk because Audrina never did that. Lo wants to get back to the Jayde/Kristin drama. Again, Kristin's delusions surface. She says that Jayde started by telling Kristin that she and Brody are getting back together and are in love, yada, yada, yada. Um, when did that happen? Did they not film that? Lo asks if she thinks deep down Jayde and Brody will get back together and Kristin says "no, no, no, no, no". Me thinks you're wrong, K.
Cafe Midi, LA. [Totally unrelated. I think I need a road trip to LA to try all the restaurants these people go to.] Heidi and Audrina are having lunch and Heidi asks what's going on with Justin. Audrina says she doesn't know. WTF? Then she says that JB is hung up on Kristin and Heidi says that if it wasn't Kristin, it would be someone else. So Audrina says it's finally over. Hmmm. Not sure I believe that. Heidi changes the subject to HERSELF and tells Audrina that her sweet little Enzo let it slip that Spender went to the doctor to get a vasectomy. Ok, Enzo did not say all that but, we'll let that one go. Audrina says that a vasectomy is like a slap in the face because Spender is saying he doesn't want kids with Heidi. Heidi agrees and says that it means Spender doesn't want to have kids with her EVER. Heidi lets Audrina in on her psycho plan to stop taking birth control and have a "surprise plan". She's an idiot. Audrina just laughs. Heidi says that if she has a baby, it'll make Spender realize how much he wants a family and Heidi thinks they need a family, so she's making the call. Audrina covers her face with her hands and says "Oh my God!" I can't tell if she's laughing at the drama/psycho-ness of Heidi's plan or she's laughing at the trainwreck that will come from it succeeding or if she's crying at the possibility of Spender procreating. I would be doing the last one. Heidi says that she always gets what she wants. Audrina just keeps laughing.
East, LA. Brody meets Jayde for drinks. Jayde says that she met up with Kristin for drinks and Brody says that Kristin told him. Jayde says she's glad Kristin told him and that Kristin was CRAZY. Brody says he doesn't know WHY Jayde wanted to meet up with Kristin in the first place. Agreed, Brody. Jayde says she wanted to be an "adult" and tell her to back off and leave Brody alone. Yes, Jayde that's very adult-like and mature. Brody says that he and Jayde aren't dating so he's allowed to do anything he wants. They go off topic because Brody interrupts Jayde and she tells him to shut up and he says she's being rude. So they are rolling their eyes and arguing about not being nice to each other. RED FLAG, people!! They tell each other they don't want to argue with one another. Jayde says that she came to dinner because she wants to work things out even though he's been a jerk to her lately. She knows he's not a jerk, in general, and she misses him and she wants to get back together. Brody smiles. That's exactly what he wanted to hear.
Philippe, LA. Kristin and Brody meet up for drinks. Brody tells Kristin that he met up with Jayde. Brody tells Kristin what he and Jayde talked about while Kristin rolls her eyes. Brody tells Kristin that he cares about Jayde and he loves her and wants to get back together with her. Then he says that he cares about Kristin, too, AS A FRIEND, and if he gets back together with Jayde, it could affect his friendship with Kristin. Mmmm-hmmm. Kristin says that she really hopes it works out for Brody if that's what he wants. Brody says that she doesn't sound enthusiastic about that. Kristin says it's because she doesn't think he's really happy and she doesn't think it'll work out. Kristin starts bitching about Jayde and her meeting with her and Brody comes to her defense. Kristin says that she "can't do this". She can't be in the middle of all this: JB and Audrina, Brody and Jayde. THEN GET OUT, KRISTIN. NO ONE DRAGGED YOU INTO IT, YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE. DON'T ACT LIKE A F-ING VICTIM! Kristin tells Brody that the fighting is not worth it and that he could be with a much better girl.
Speidi's house. Heidi has the house totally decked out in candles and mood lighting. She's dressed nice (and by nice, I mean, slutty. She might be wearing a negligee) and made him dinner. Spender is stunned and suspicious. Heidi says that she just wanted to make her husband dinner. Then she asks if Spender wants to "say grace". WTF? Spender is still stunned so Heidi says that she'll say grace: "Heavenly Father, thank you for my amazing husband who I love so much. Thank you for this meal. Thank you for my outfit. Thank you for everything you've done. In Jesus name, AMEN." Um, thank you for my OUTFIT??? These people are crazy. Spender asks what's going on. Heidi says that she's feeling settled in the house and into married life and this is how it should always be and she always wants to cook for him. Spender says that he's very impressed. Then he thanks Heidi for forgiving him for going to the doctor without telling her and thanks her for the beautiful dinner. Heidi tells Spender that she realizes that she was putting too much pressure on him about kids and it's her fault. Then she says she wants them to start fresh and she'll take the pressure off. Wow. What a manipulator. Evil.
Kristin's House. Does Bartender Stacie LIVE with Kristin. She's ALWAYS there! Kristin comes downstairs and tells BS that Brody and Jayde are back together and she's bummed. Kristin didn't think they would get back together. Then, Kristin perks up and tells BS to listen to the message she got from JB. JB: "Hey Sweetheart, this is Justin. I just wanted to call you and let you know that I ended everything with Audrina. I just felt that you had to know that. I hope I talk to you and see you soon. Bye." BS says that it was a nice message and asks Kristin what she's going to do. Kristin says she's sick of this town and ALL the boys in it. Um, you've only been dating two of them and they are both in your small circle of "friends". BRANCH OUT. BS tells Kristin they should get away for the weekend. Kristin: "We should go to Vegas." BS: "Done." Kristin: "We should go now before we change our minds. Let's go pack." And, they are off to Vegas.
See you next week...

Citizen Smith, LA. Kristin is meeting Jayde for drinks. Jayde says that neither of them want to be there but she needs to talk to Kristin to find out what is going on. Kristin starts right in by asking Jayde if it would've been better to do this BEFORE "storming" at her with all of Jayde's friends at the club and cause the "biggest.scene.ever". Jayde says "not really, because..." and Kristin cuts her off and says "No? Because it's better to attack me at a club?" Ok, WTF? Kristin is delusional. Jayde did not "attack" her, she confronted Brody and KRISTIN involved herself in the confrontation. Jayde didn't bring her in. Kristin = dumbass. But, so is Jayde...I digress.
Anyhow, Jayde tells Kristin that she didn't attack Kristin. Kristin says she got hit and Jayde says that she did, too. Kristin says that Jayde was the instigator and Jayde says that she didn't come up to them to talk to Kristin...she went up there to talk to Brody. Kristin snarks to Jayde "Well then you might want to keep his leash a little tighter, Jayde". Jayde tells her that Kristin doesn't know shit about her relationship with Brody and Kristin getting involved is not helping. Kristin says that she's been friends with Brody for FIVE YEARS and she's never tried to come between him and Jayde. Jayde asks Kristin if she can see how it looks from her perspective.
Kristin says that if Brody was really happy with Jayde then she'd be happy for Brody, but he's not. Jayde tells Kristin: "Just because you've been back in town for a month doesn't mean you know what's going on. So for you to sit here and act like you know that he's not happy is bullshit." She's got a point. Jayde asks Kristin why she can't find any guys in the entire city of Hollywood besides JB and Brody who have been in relationships with people Kristin knows. Oh dang! Kristin gets defensive and tells Jayde not to bring JB into this. Kristin tells Jayde that she gave Audrina the opportunity to talk to her like Jayde is doing but Audrina blew her off so she doesn't owe Audrina anything. Jayde says that she doesn't like Audrina, either. Kristin asks again why Jayde is bringing up JB then. Jayde says that it just seems like a pattern with Kristin to date guys who are kind of still involved with their exes. Then Jayde says "Everything was fine before you came here, so you need to go back to wherever it is that you came from..." Kristin interrupts and says: "You're a real bitch. You are such a bitch, Jayde. I have to tell you, like, you're a bitch." And Kristin storms out.
Ok, 2 things. First, I hate it when two characters I don't like fight with each other because I feel compelled to side with someone I don't give a shit about. In this instance, it's Jayde. I think Kristin is being stupid and she should just remove herself from the drama instead of fueling the fire with name calling. So dumb. Second, Jayde is young, but she's clearly had botox or some other work on her face because she has NO EXPRESSIONS. Her forehead doesn't move. It's weird.
Toast, LA. Kristin is having lunch with Lo. So weird...they are not friends. Kristin fills Lo in on Jayde. Kristin and Lo call Jayde an animal because she attacked Kristin. But Kristin says that she respects Jayde for calling her to talk because Audrina never did that. Lo wants to get back to the Jayde/Kristin drama. Again, Kristin's delusions surface. She says that Jayde started by telling Kristin that she and Brody are getting back together and are in love, yada, yada, yada. Um, when did that happen? Did they not film that? Lo asks if she thinks deep down Jayde and Brody will get back together and Kristin says "no, no, no, no, no". Me thinks you're wrong, K.
Cafe Midi, LA. [Totally unrelated. I think I need a road trip to LA to try all the restaurants these people go to.] Heidi and Audrina are having lunch and Heidi asks what's going on with Justin. Audrina says she doesn't know. WTF? Then she says that JB is hung up on Kristin and Heidi says that if it wasn't Kristin, it would be someone else. So Audrina says it's finally over. Hmmm. Not sure I believe that. Heidi changes the subject to HERSELF and tells Audrina that her sweet little Enzo let it slip that Spender went to the doctor to get a vasectomy. Ok, Enzo did not say all that but, we'll let that one go. Audrina says that a vasectomy is like a slap in the face because Spender is saying he doesn't want kids with Heidi. Heidi agrees and says that it means Spender doesn't want to have kids with her EVER. Heidi lets Audrina in on her psycho plan to stop taking birth control and have a "surprise plan". She's an idiot. Audrina just laughs. Heidi says that if she has a baby, it'll make Spender realize how much he wants a family and Heidi thinks they need a family, so she's making the call. Audrina covers her face with her hands and says "Oh my God!" I can't tell if she's laughing at the drama/psycho-ness of Heidi's plan or she's laughing at the trainwreck that will come from it succeeding or if she's crying at the possibility of Spender procreating. I would be doing the last one. Heidi says that she always gets what she wants. Audrina just keeps laughing.
East, LA. Brody meets Jayde for drinks. Jayde says that she met up with Kristin for drinks and Brody says that Kristin told him. Jayde says she's glad Kristin told him and that Kristin was CRAZY. Brody says he doesn't know WHY Jayde wanted to meet up with Kristin in the first place. Agreed, Brody. Jayde says she wanted to be an "adult" and tell her to back off and leave Brody alone. Yes, Jayde that's very adult-like and mature. Brody says that he and Jayde aren't dating so he's allowed to do anything he wants. They go off topic because Brody interrupts Jayde and she tells him to shut up and he says she's being rude. So they are rolling their eyes and arguing about not being nice to each other. RED FLAG, people!! They tell each other they don't want to argue with one another. Jayde says that she came to dinner because she wants to work things out even though he's been a jerk to her lately. She knows he's not a jerk, in general, and she misses him and she wants to get back together. Brody smiles. That's exactly what he wanted to hear.
Philippe, LA. Kristin and Brody meet up for drinks. Brody tells Kristin that he met up with Jayde. Brody tells Kristin what he and Jayde talked about while Kristin rolls her eyes. Brody tells Kristin that he cares about Jayde and he loves her and wants to get back together with her. Then he says that he cares about Kristin, too, AS A FRIEND, and if he gets back together with Jayde, it could affect his friendship with Kristin. Mmmm-hmmm. Kristin says that she really hopes it works out for Brody if that's what he wants. Brody says that she doesn't sound enthusiastic about that. Kristin says it's because she doesn't think he's really happy and she doesn't think it'll work out. Kristin starts bitching about Jayde and her meeting with her and Brody comes to her defense. Kristin says that she "can't do this". She can't be in the middle of all this: JB and Audrina, Brody and Jayde. THEN GET OUT, KRISTIN. NO ONE DRAGGED YOU INTO IT, YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE. DON'T ACT LIKE A F-ING VICTIM! Kristin tells Brody that the fighting is not worth it and that he could be with a much better girl.
Speidi's house. Heidi has the house totally decked out in candles and mood lighting. She's dressed nice (and by nice, I mean, slutty. She might be wearing a negligee) and made him dinner. Spender is stunned and suspicious. Heidi says that she just wanted to make her husband dinner. Then she asks if Spender wants to "say grace". WTF? Spender is still stunned so Heidi says that she'll say grace: "Heavenly Father, thank you for my amazing husband who I love so much. Thank you for this meal. Thank you for my outfit. Thank you for everything you've done. In Jesus name, AMEN." Um, thank you for my OUTFIT??? These people are crazy. Spender asks what's going on. Heidi says that she's feeling settled in the house and into married life and this is how it should always be and she always wants to cook for him. Spender says that he's very impressed. Then he thanks Heidi for forgiving him for going to the doctor without telling her and thanks her for the beautiful dinner. Heidi tells Spender that she realizes that she was putting too much pressure on him about kids and it's her fault. Then she says she wants them to start fresh and she'll take the pressure off. Wow. What a manipulator. Evil.
Kristin's House. Does Bartender Stacie LIVE with Kristin. She's ALWAYS there! Kristin comes downstairs and tells BS that Brody and Jayde are back together and she's bummed. Kristin didn't think they would get back together. Then, Kristin perks up and tells BS to listen to the message she got from JB. JB: "Hey Sweetheart, this is Justin. I just wanted to call you and let you know that I ended everything with Audrina. I just felt that you had to know that. I hope I talk to you and see you soon. Bye." BS says that it was a nice message and asks Kristin what she's going to do. Kristin says she's sick of this town and ALL the boys in it. Um, you've only been dating two of them and they are both in your small circle of "friends". BRANCH OUT. BS tells Kristin they should get away for the weekend. Kristin: "We should go to Vegas." BS: "Done." Kristin: "We should go now before we change our minds. Let's go pack." And, they are off to Vegas.
See you next week...

So You Think You Can Dance, Top 14 dance
Last week, Peter and Pauline were eliminated. Now we have 14 dancers!!
Cat tells us the rules AGAIN and introduces the jidges AGAIN. It's baby picture night, so we're seeing baby pictures of all the dancers when they were wee things. SO we all get to see a 9 year old Nigel. Then we saw a really cute picture of a 12-13 year old Mary. Then we see a flexing 6 year old Adam.
Let's get right to the dancing.
Ashleigh & Jakob
Ashleigh was a cute little girl...not surprising. Jakob is a cutie pie and tells us he was chunky during his awkward years, but then he started dancing. This week, the duo will be taking on a hip hop routine by TABITHA & NAPOLEON!!!! Finally. We missed you guys last week.
They dance to "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo (the remix, sampled version of Hide & Seek by Imogen Heap - which is way better). WOW. That was awesome. Favorite routine so far in this competition. The jidges agree. SO AWESOME. I don't want to like Ashleigh because she bugs me, but they did fantastic.
Karen & Kevin
Karen grew up in Venezuela. She was cute. Kevin is the oldest of six...so adorable. This week, they are dancing to a broadway routine choreographed by Spencer Liff.
They dance to "If My Friends Could See Me Now" from Sweet Charity. They danced it well, but ... meh. Maybe it's the choreography. Nothing spectacular. Just ok. OMG!! At the end, Kevin kisses Karen and she totally rejects his kiss...she just keeps smiling and doesn't kiss back. AWKWARD. The jidges didn't like it and were much harder on them than I would be. I thought they danced it well, but boring.
Noelle & Russell
Russell was a cutie and tells us he wasn't shy about performing. Noelle was such an adorable little girl. So cute. Oh no...they'll be dancing the foxtrot by choreographer Eddie Simon.
They dance to "Baby (You've Got What it Takes)" by Michael Buble. You know I don't like these ballroom numbers because I think they're boring. That being said, I thought they did a good job. It was boring, don't get me wrong, but I like these dancers and I thought it was good. Hmmm...the jidges agreed with me. I think they like these guys, too.
Channing & Victor
Channing was a cute little kid and kind of quirky. Victor was a really good looking kid. Very cute. This week, they are dancing a jazz routine by Tyce Diorio.
They dance to "Blackbird" by Bobby McFerron. They are blackbirds. I hated the song choice. BUT, they danced so well. That was really great. I like it so much. These guys may be another favorite of mine. But that's mostly because of Victor. I like Channing to, but I really like Victor. The jidges agree.
Kathryn & Legacy
Kathryn tells us that she was very shy. Cute kid. Legacy was always a performer. This week they will be dancing the Paso Doble by Tony Meredith. Tony says that this is the Paso Doble from hell. Drama.
They dance to "Pursuit" by Ka (from the Cirque du Soleil soundtrack). Wow, Legacy is slight, but really muscular. Not bad with his shirt off. Kathryn is very sexy in her flowy skirt. Ok, it ended a little dramatically. Legacy is refusing to break character. Dumb. It was boring, as usual with these ballroom routines, but I thought they performed it well. I just couldn't really pay attention. I guess that's not good. The jidges loved it. Meh...they did well, but I thought it was boring.
Update on the DIZZY FEET Foundation started by Nigel Lythgoe, Adam Shankman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Katie Holmes (Why, Katie?? Seriously? Katie, you can't dance...even tho you think you can). It's a great foundation and doing great things, but let's get back to the show.
Ellenore & Ryan
She was a beautiful child and tells us she was sassy! Ryan started dancing at 4 and his grandparents were ballroom dancers. YAY!!! They are dancing a contemporary routine with Travis Wall!!! WOOT!
They dance to "Your Ex-Lover's Dead" by Stars. WOW. Amazing. The dancers are stepping it up this week. That was truly beautiful. I think I might have liked it better than the Tabitha/Napoleon routine. Fantastic. Nigel tells them that it's about "luck" because they got Travis Wall. What a jerk. They did a fantastic job. They are great dancers...so amazing. Favorite dance of the night. The jidges agree.
Mollee & Nathan
Nathan is the youngest of three brothers. He was a spoiled brat. Not surprising. Mollee tells us she was a diva. She loooks like a pageant kid. [CS - I see what you mean, they do bug.] They are dancing to a pop jazz routine choreographed by Laurieann Gibson. Laurieann is like a drill sergeant.
They dance to "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga. Ok, they are annoying kids, but they are fantastic dancers. It wasn't totally spectacular...but it was really great. They were together and strong. The jidges agree.
I think the bottom three will be Karen & Kevin, Kathryn & Legacy and Noelle & Russell.
I'm not sure if it's because this season happened so soon after the last season, but I'm just not as connected to this season. I don't even have a favorite. I mean, Nathan is hot, but he's not my favorite dancer.

Amazing Race 15 - Episode 9
Last week, FARMERS GOT LUCKY (YAY)!!! Five teams remain...
Flight Time and Big Easy are the first team to depart at 2:23 AM from Bogs Gard Farm just outside Stockholm, Sweden.
FIRST CLUE: Teams must now travel by ferry across the Baltic Sea to the city of Tallinn, Estonia. They receive a bunch of keys. Once there, teams must figure out how to open up the door to Mustpeade, the secret lair of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, where they will find their next clue.
It's the middle of the night, so the ferry probably won't go again until morning. Globes follow someone to the ferry station. The Globes find out that the next ferry is at 5:45 PM!!! The Blondes take off to the ferry station followed by Team USA. Rainbow is next. Globes are sleeping in their car and they tell everyone they have to wait until 5:45 PM!! Farmers (!!) leave next. BUNCHING!! ALL teams are going on the same ferry.
The teams arrive in Tallinn, Estonia. They run out and start asking taxis to take them to Mustpeade. The Blondes and Rainbow arrive first and they find the hidden keyhole. They start checking all of their keys. They find their way in and get the next clue before Team USA, Globes and Farmers arrive to figure it out.
ROADBLOCK: The Brotherhead of the Blackheads is a secret society of merchants that has existed in Estonia for at least 600 years. One person from each team must join the ranks of the Brotherhood to uncover a mystery. Teams must descend into the cellar and find a candelabra with a room number attached to it. Then, they must locate that room and find what appears to be a blank scroll. What they need to figure out, is if they hold the scroll above a lit candle, it will reveal their next clue.
Sam and Cheyne are doing the roadblock. Meanwhile Team USA and the Farmers arrive at Mustpeade. Team USA tries their keys while Farmers are hit with a SPEEDBUMP.
SPEEDBUMP: They must find a sauna bus, strip down to robes and take a 5 minute sauna with locals. Sauna bus?? Really?? Weird.
Globes show up and they are with Team USA trying to get into the Mustpeade. Farmers look for the Sauna Bus. Cheyne and Sam are looking for the rooms on their candelabra. Team USA and Globes make it in. Flight Time and Miss America are doing the roadblock. They find the candelabras and go searching. Farmers find the sauna bus and take a sauna. Gross..it's sweaty, tight quarters.
Flight Time finds the room and the scroll. He thinks that he needs a crayon to scratch on the scroll and he starts coloring. Cheyne finds his room and thinks, since all he has is the candle,
he'll hold the scroll up to the light.
Back in the sauna bus, the Farmers are in a crowded sauna with a pretty cute blonde Estonian girl. Dad is going on and on about Minnesota and how he has Finnish relatives. Matt is a little embarassed, especially since they are all practically sitting on top of one another. :)
Miss America found the scroll and started using the candle but doesn't see anything. You have to let the heat soak in and be patient. So Cheyne and Miss America figure it out. Farmers work it out and get into Mustpeade and Matt does the task. Unfortunately, Matt doesn't know what a CANDELABRA is!!!
All the other team members are onto the next place, Pikk Hermann Garden Tower. Matt is still struggling until he realizes that candelabra sounds a lot like "candle". He finds his room number and goes searching for the room. Team USA and the Blondes find the next clue at the tower...DETOUR.
DETOUR: In the bogs (swamps) of Estonia teams must choose between "Surf" or "Sling". In Surf, teams must slog around the knee deep bog to play a local team a game of volleyball. They have to score 5 points to earn their next clue. In Sling, teams plant their feet in the mud and use a slingshot to fire assorted vegetables at a target (picture of a moose). When they hit the target, the table next to the target will collapse dumping cabbages on the ground along with their next clue.
Blondes pick surf and they tell Team USA that they'll have their taxi call them a taxi. As soon as they take off, they tell the driver to forget about the other team. Meanwhile, Miss America thinks Brian gave the Blondes their taxi and starts yelling at him. Team USA finally finds a taxi and decide to do surf also.
Matt finds the scroll and does what Flight Time does by rubbing a pencil on the scroll. NO MATT!! Just hold it up to the light!! He figures it out and they head out.
Rainbow and Globes find the detour and they all share a cab. Those teams do not like each other. Rainbow is frustrated that Globes are doing so well. Farmers find the tower but can't find the clue.
Farmers finally find the clue and head out to the detour. They are going to do the sling shot.
Blondes arrive and have to strip down and start to play. Ooh, the bog is really deep. They are doing really well. Globes put on their team outfits in the taxi to play volleyball. They have no idea. Globes, Rainbow and Team USA arrive and they can't find the path to the volleyball courts. The Blondes win and get the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now trudge even further through the bog and search for the Keava Raba Overlook Tower, the next Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
Blondes head to the pit stop.
The Blondes are team #1. They win a red cedar sauna. Hmm.
The teams finally find the path and head to the volleyball courts. Rainbow and Globes are doing the volleyball game. Since Team USA has to wait, they decide to do the slingshots. Globes and Rainbow are STRUGGLING. They start to get the hang of it and get some points. Globes finish and head to the pit stop. Rainbow finishes and head to the pit stop. It's a race to the pit stop and Flight Time falls. It's unclear if Dan had something to do with the fall. They are at the pit stop and start to bicker about whether Dan hit Flight Time or the other way around.
Rainbow is Team #2 and Globes are Team #3.
Farmers finally arrive just as Team USA hits the target and runs to the pit stop.
Team USA is Team #4.
Farmers easily hit the target and run to the pit stop.
Farmers are eliminated from the race. :( They are so cute. I'm so sad they're gone. They are so great. Dad totally tears up about how proud he is of his son. I'm totally crying. SO SWEET. I will miss them.
I guess I'm rooting for the Globes now. Don't fail me, guys. I'm running out of teams that I like.
See you next week.

They have to score 5 points to earn their next clue. In Sling, teams plant their feet in the mud and use a slingshot to fire assorted vegetables at a target (picture of a moose). When they hit the target, the table next to the target will collapse dumping cabbages on the ground along with their next clue.
Blondes pick surf and they tell Team USA that they'll have their taxi call them a taxi. As soon as they take off, they tell the driver to forget about the other team. Meanwhile, Miss America thinks Brian gave the Blondes their taxi and starts yelling at him. Team USA finally finds a taxi and decide to do surf also.
Matt finds the scroll and does what Flight Time does by rubbing a pencil on the scroll. NO MATT!! Just hold it up to the light!! He figures it out and they head out.
Rainbow and Globes find the detour and they all share a cab. Those teams do not like each other. Rainbow is frustrated that Globes are doing so well. Farmers find the tower but can't find the clue.
Farmers finally find the clue and head out to the detour. They are going to do the sling shot.
Blondes arrive and have to strip down and start to play. Ooh, the bog is really deep. They are doing really well. Globes put on their team outfits in the taxi to play volleyball. They have no idea. Globes, Rainbow and Team USA arrive and they can't find the path to the volleyball courts. The Blondes win and get the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now trudge even further through the bog and search for the Keava Raba Overlook Tower, the next Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
Blondes head to the pit stop.
The Blondes are team #1. They win a red cedar sauna. Hmm.
The teams finally find the path and head to the volleyball courts. Rainbow and Globes are doing the volleyball game. Since Team USA has to wait, they decide to do the slingshots. Globes and Rainbow are STRUGGLING. They start to get the hang of it and get some points. Globes finish and head to the pit stop. Rainbow finishes and head to the pit stop. It's a race to the pit stop and Flight Time falls. It's unclear if Dan had something to do with the fall. They are at the pit stop and start to bicker about whether Dan hit Flight Time or the other way around.
Rainbow is Team #2 and Globes are Team #3.
Farmers finally arrive just as Team USA hits the target and runs to the pit stop.
Team USA is Team #4.
Farmers easily hit the target and run to the pit stop.
Farmers are eliminated from the race. :( They are so cute. I'm so sad they're gone. They are so great. Dad totally tears up about how proud he is of his son. I'm totally crying. SO SWEET. I will miss them.
I guess I'm rooting for the Globes now. Don't fail me, guys. I'm running out of teams that I like.
See you next week.

Real Housewives OC, Season Five - Episode 2
Last time - bitch fight at Lynne's dinner party. The claws were out!
We pick up where we left off with Tamra saying she doesn't want to be friends with "a hooker". Jeanna interviews that Tamra is the "mean girl". Vicki interviews that she's been doing this show for 5 years with these bitches and she can't understand why women can't get along. Lynne interviews that this was supposed to be her great dinner party and then starts crying. That's dumb because Lynne invited Gretchen and Tamra knowing that they would probably fight. Tamra interviews that Gretchen has her tongue down some guy's throat while she's wearing some other guy's engagement ring. It kind of makes Tamra wonder about Gretchen. Gretchen interviews that she's going to "kill this bitch". She says all Tamra does all day is go on the internet and read stuff and believe it's the truth. They keep bickering and when Gretchen tells Tamra to "shut the fuck up", Tamra says "I quit" and she and Vicki get up and leave. As Vicki is leaving she says "this is bullshit".
Jeanna, Gretchen and Lynne sit and continue to bitch about Tamra. Gretchen says that Tamra is disrespectful and cunning. Jeanna tells Gretchen that she needs to remember Tamra's background. Gretchen says "She's white trash!!" and then starts laughing. Um...what's the saying? Glass houses, stones?? You're not exactly a "Kennedy", Gretch. Gretchen tells Jeanna that Tamra DEFAMED her and her relationship with Jeff. Someone's been talking to a lawyer.
Meanwhile, Vicki and Tamra are bitching on their way out. Vicki says "if the guy didn't have any money, tell me she'd still be dating him." Good point. If Jeff didn't have a shitload of cash, Gretchen never would have dated him. Tamra says "She takes that poor man for a ride for $1.7 million and then she's going to sit there and cry and say "Oh God, oh God. The girl is a filthy, nasty whore."
Gretchen is in the room saying that she thought Tamra was her friend, but then she saw what Tamra was saying behind her back and realizes what an idiot she was to think that.
Tamra says that Gretchen is a liar and a coniver (sp?). She has a bad reputation in Orange County. Tamra wants to be around wholesome people, people who take care of their families, people with jobs who work for a living instead of preying on old men.
Lynne says that she doesn't want to take sides because she loves them both. She starts crying that she stayed up until 4 in the morning preparing for this dinner party. Why?
GRETCHEN
Gretchen is in Laguna Niguel setting up a "tanning party" at someone's house. She tells us that ever since the dinner party, she's needed to have this party with her friends. Well, I know when I'm stressed about life stuff, all I want to do is spray paint my body with all of my friends. WTF? These people need to get jobs. OK, so she first says "ever since that night at the St. Regis" and apparently it was the night before this "tanning party". So dumb. So she tells her mom (who looks younger than Jeff btw) that it got really ugly. Slade says that Tamra has nothing. He says that she's never been successful at anything and unless she's talking shit about someone, she has nothing to talk about. Hmmm, sounds a lot like Gretchen, too, Slade. I mean, she has this tanning party to get away from that part of her life and all she does is bitch about Tamra. Gretchen says that she's trying to rise above it. She asks "how long have I 'rised' above it?" Hmmm...I'd say about as long as you retained elementary school English. Gretchen's mom is smart and gives her good advice. She tells her to rise above it and that she's not going to change Tamra. All she can do is change her reaction to her. Lynne and her daughter show up. Alexa asks if she can have one beer and Lynne says absolutely not and she's shocked that Alexa would even ask that. If Alexa felt comfortable enough to ask, clearly it's happened before.
Slade is getting a spray tan and calls Gretchen over to see him with a sock over his peen. He doesn't want tan lines. Wow. Lynne is up next and she doesn't want her fake boobs to have tan lines. BUT, she's modest so she doesn't want to show her boobs to everyone. Why not? You paid for them! So, when she has to put her arms out, Gretchen comes in and covers her boobs for her. Oh good Lord. These women are insane.
TAMRA
Tamra and Vicki are having lunch. Simon is selling Tequila now. I thought he worked for Mercedes. Tamra says that he's doing whatever sells. Tamra says that their income is down. Vicki interviews that she doesn't understand what Simon is doing with his tequila business. She says that in these times, he should do what he does best: sell cars. Not tequila. She's got a point, but it's really none of her business. Tamra announces to Vicki that she and Simon are moving. They owe more on than house than it's worth. NO WAY! She and Simon were living beyond their means??? I don't believe it. Vicki interviews that she knows Tamra shops, looks great, works out, etc., but at the end of the day, she needs to go out and look for a job. A-MEN!
JEANNA
Jeanna says that she specializes in homes over $2 million so her market has really tanked in the last year. Essentially she specializes in homes that sell themselves. She's had to readjust. She's sold some watches, a couple of cars, some artwork. Jeanna is showing a house and she says that if she can sell that house she won't have to sell her house because it would be over $300K in commission. She's showing a house that is $12 million furnished/$9 million unfurnished. It's from Malcolm Forbes' collection. Jeanna interviews that she's struggling, Tamra and Simon are struggling, she's not sure about Gretchen but the only one not struggling is Vicki. Now, Vicki can be annoying, but she's smart with her money. She works hard, but I bet she saves, too. She wouldn't be selling her house like Tamra & Jeanna because she spent everything she earned. Jeanna tells us that Vicki also works 15 hours/day which isn't the way to do it either. Um, it is if you have a family to support. These women are lazy. Jeanna says the other ladies don't have to work because they have husbands who take care of them, but she doesn't so she's had to step up her game and work harder.
VICKI
Brianna finished her 7 year nursing program in 3 years so for her graduation, Vicki is taking her to Italy. Vicki tells us that she works hard so she can bless her family. She wants to enjoy the fruits of her labor. I'm with Vicki. She takes it to an extreme, but I totally see her point. It's just Vicki, Brianna and Vicki's mom going to Italy...the boys are staying behind. Vicki is such an annoying packer. She has three outfits for everyday they are in Italy which means 30 outfits. She and I are so the opposite. Brianna tells Vicki that she's not carrying any of her luggage. Vicki says that she doesn't know how many shoes to take and Brianna tells her to take only what she can carry. HAHA.
GRETCHEN
Gretchen is having a garage sale at Jeff's - err, Gretchen's house. I love that Gretchen says she wasn't a golddigger because Jeff wasn't a bagillionaire who left her millions and millions of dollars. No, Gretchen. But he was a millionaire who left you $1.7 million. That still makes you a golddigger. When your garage looks out onto a fence, maybe you should have a "garage sale" somewhere else where traffic actually passes by.
LYNNE
Lynne and Raquel - her daughter - are at the plastic surgeon's office. I guess this is what mothers and daughters do in Orange County. So wrong in so many ways. Lynne says that there is a lot of competition in the OC, so they are coming to meet with the doctor. WTF? Lynne tells Raquel that the doc is going to tell her she's perfect. Then she says "You already look like a Playboy bunny." Ok, I think it's totally creepy for a mother to think it's great that her 19 year old daughter looks like a Playboy bunny. These people are so ass backwards. Lynne is up first. The doc is telling her what she needs to do to her face to look 12 years younger. They should just talk to my mom. My mother is 63 years old and she looks about 53. No surgery. She just doesn't try so hard and eats healthy. Lynne says that she thinks what she's doing is positive for the girls so that they will look good when they are her age. Is she serious?? What an idiot. Yes, teach your teenage daughters to get plastic surgery when they don't feel good about their outward appearance. Forget the fact that they are stupid, entitled, spoiled brats.
Next up, Raquel. This is so wrong. I feel like this is child abuse. Who brings their kid to the plastic surgeon?? Lynne says that Raquel has always had low self esteem. So to boost her confidence, Lynne thought it would be good to get her some plastic surgery. I...I just don't know what to say. This whole scene is so disturbing. Maybe Lynne just feels like her daughter is stupid and will never be successful on her own, so she might as well be pretty? The doc is telling her how he's going to fix the "bump" - that is barely noticeable - on her nose. Raquel interviews that last year for her birthday, she got a BMW and this year she's getting a nose job. These people make me sick. The doc says they will be in "mother/daughter recovery" and Lynne says that will be "awesome."
VICKI
The girls are in Italy and about to board a private shuttle to Rome. Vicki is the typical loud American with way too much luggage who complains about everything. They get to the hotel and it's small. Of course it is. If you go to Europe and stay in a European hotel, it's not going to be overdone like American hotels. The rooms are small, the lobby is small, the stairwell is small. It's OLD! Vicki packed 4 pieces of luggage and Brianna and the grandma have three between them. Vicki is wondering how she's going to get her luggage up the stairs. I bet the Italians loathe Vicki. And now Vicki is bitching that the elevator is too small. She was expecting the Four Seasons. WRONG.
They have a personal tour guide. I feel like this is such a depressing way to see Rome. Rome is one of my favorite European cities. I LOVE Rome. But the best part about it is walking around the city and one minute you're on a busy street and the next minute, you're at the Colliseum. It's so old and beautiful. You can't really appreciate Rome in a car. After that, they go shopping. Vicki says that she didn't like shopping on the tiny Italian streets, she prefers South Coast Shopping Center. OMG! People like Vicki should not be allowed to travel. Seriously, she's an embarassment to America.
LYNNE
Lynne is having lunch with her daughters, Raquel and Alexa. Raquel says that she wants a nose job for her birthday. Alexa says "Raquel, are you serious?" and Lynne looks Alexa like she asked the strangest question. Alexa tells Raquel that she looks great and shouldn't try to change herself and she's not saying that because she's her family. Alexa tells her that she's perfect and should be thankful for what she has. Wow, that actually sounded ... smart. Then Lynne tells Alexa that she's getting a facelift. Alexa looks really upset. Alexa is crying and gets up to leave and goes into the bathroom. So Lynne goes into the bathroom with her.
Alexa: "It pisses me off that it's just, like, Raquel just, like, wants, like, a new thing changed. I just like her the way she is. I feel like you guys keep changing, and I don't want you guys to change." (crying) "I want, like, you guys to be the same, still."
Alexa interviews that so much is changing and she feels that "they" (lynne and raquel) are getting so materialistic about every little thing. It's sad when the 17 year old daughter sounds smarter than the older sister AND the mother.
Of course, Lynne blows it off and says that Alexa is a teenager and very emotional right now. WTF?? This family is so screwed up.
Then, Alexa has to go and prove that she's related to these crazy people and complains that Raquel got a $30K car last year and now she's getting plastic surgery which is more money. And all Alexa got for her birthday was a cake. Alexa wants to know what she gets. So Lynne disregards everything that Alexa said before about them changing and thinks this is about Lynne spending money on Raquel.
JEANNA
Jeanna and Kara are shopping at H&M. Kara tells her mom that this is where she shops when she has to pay for stuff herself. Ouch. Kara says that she just transferred to UCLA, her dream school. :) She tells her mom that they call her sorority "Visa Visa Mastercard" because it's the "rich girl" sorority. Kara says if that's the case, then she's in the wrong sorority. Jeanna tells her that she's rich in her standards. Kara is waiting tables and paying for her own rent. Good for her. I like Kara. She's a little bratty, but she's also really smart and independant. GO BRUINS!!
Jeanna tells Kara about the drama at the St. Regis. Kara asks if Gretchen was cheating on Jeff and Jeanna says she doesn't know. Kara says that she can understand why Tamra is upset and Jeanna is shocked. She asks her WHY? Kara says that Tamra was brought into this situation. Jeanna says "Whatever. Some guy calls you looking for his girlfriend..." and Kara cuts her off and says "you just said, 'looking for his GIRLFRIEND'". Jeanna says "whatever".
VICKI
The girls are at a Roman Bistro. UGH! There she goes...the ugly American is at it again. She asks the waiter if the restaurant specializes in Merlots or Cabs. The waiter asks her if she's interested in a particular region and Vicki says that she's used to California wines. DUMBASS. You are in ITALY, Vicki. Haven't you ever heard the expression "when in Rome"??? For the love of God. I feel for you, Italians. I apologize to you for having to put up with Vicki. She's totally that American who probably HATES when people who visit America don't speak English. Yet, she goes to Italy and doesn't even try to communicate. She's totally annoyed that they can't understand her.
TAMRA
Tamra and Simon are at dinner with Jim and Alexis. Jim and Simon know each other through "business deals". Jim is the typical, ugly, chubby white guy with a totally plastic wife. She's not even that pretty because she just looks completely reconstructed. Tamra says that Jim and Alexis remind her of Tamra and Simon when they were first married. They are all kissy and close. Alexis says that she and Jim have only been apart 2 days since they were married. She says that she doesn't want to be anywhere without him because he's her soulmate. Man, he must be LOADED. Tamra is having a hard time not comparing herself to Jim and Alexis. So Simon and Tamra argue. Simon asks Tamra "when was the last time I was wrong?" Jim says "are you serious?" Simon says that when it comes to stuff with Tamra, he's never wrong. If he doesn't know the answer, he doesn't say anything. Jim tells him that Simon is not always right. Nice. Simon is just too competitive. I think he likes having the trophy wife. He likes being smarter, making more money and being in charge. It makes him feel better to be with someone he feels superior to. Tamra is that girl.
TAMRA
Tamra asks a realtor to come help them figure out what to do about their house. Tamra tells him that they spent about $400K in upgrades. Tamra interviews that she never really understood how "money" could ruin a relationship. But they went from having all this money and not having any problems to having serious financial issues and the stress is really putting a strain on the relationship. They have $0 equity in the house. Tamra says that their blood, sweat and tears are in this house and they built it from the ground up. Ok, here's my problem with this. Tamra has contributed close to NOTHING to that house except live in it. Simon paid for it, probably entirely by himself with no contribution from Tamra. He probably paid for the decorator to come and help Tamra pick out colors and furniture. And, they probably had a housekeeper and gardener to keep it up - that Simon paid for. So, what did she do?? Tamra is crying about giving up the house.
See you next week.
We pick up where we left off with Tamra saying she doesn't want to be friends with "a hooker". Jeanna interviews that Tamra is the "mean girl". Vicki interviews that she's been doing this show for 5 years with these bitches and she can't understand why women can't get along.

Some guy calls you looking for his girlfriend..." and Kara cuts her off and says "you just said, 'looking for his GIRLFRIEND'". Jeanna says "whatever".
VICKI
The girls are at a Roman Bistro. UGH! There she goes...the ugly American is at it again. She asks the waiter if the restaurant specializes in Merlots or Cabs. The waiter asks her if she's interested in a particular region and Vicki says that she's used to California wines. DUMBASS. You are in ITALY, Vicki. Haven't you ever heard the expression "when in Rome"??? For the love of God. I feel for you, Italians. I apologize to you for having to put up with Vicki. She's totally that American who probably HATES when people who visit America don't speak English. Yet, she goes to Italy and doesn't even try to communicate. She's totally annoyed that they can't understand her.
TAMRA
Tamra and Simon are at dinner with Jim and Alexis. Jim and Simon know each other through "business deals". Jim is the typical, ugly, chubby white guy with a totally plastic wife. She's not even that pretty because she just looks completely reconstructed. Tamra says that Jim and Alexis remind her of Tamra and Simon when they were first married. They are all kissy and close. Alexis says that she and Jim have only been apart 2 days since they were married. She says that she doesn't want to be anywhere without him because he's her soulmate. Man, he must be LOADED. Tamra is having a hard time not comparing herself to Jim and Alexis. So Simon and Tamra argue. Simon asks Tamra "when was the last time I was wrong?" Jim says "are you serious?" Simon says that when it comes to stuff with Tamra, he's never wrong. If he doesn't know the answer, he doesn't say anything. Jim tells him that Simon is not always right. Nice. Simon is just too competitive. I think he likes having the trophy wife. He likes being smarter, making more money and being in charge. It makes him feel better to be with someone he feels superior to. Tamra is that girl.
TAMRA
Tamra asks a realtor to come help them figure out what to do about their house. Tamra tells him that they spent about $400K in upgrades. Tamra interviews that she never really understood how "money" could ruin a relationship. But they went from having all this money and not having any problems to having serious financial issues and the stress is really putting a strain on the relationship. They have $0 equity in the house. Tamra says that their blood, sweat and tears are in this house and they built it from the ground up. Ok, here's my problem with this. Tamra has contributed close to NOTHING to that house except live in it. Simon paid for it, probably entirely by himself with no contribution from Tamra. He probably paid for the decorator to come and help Tamra pick out colors and furniture. And, they probably had a housekeeper and gardener to keep it up - that Simon paid for. So, what did she do?? Tamra is crying about giving up the house.
See you next week.
