Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains Blog Party Post 4/22 Episode

Yes, I'm back from San Antonio, although it would have been a ton of fun to watch the show with the group! It's starting in a minute or so. This post will be updated with the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Late tonight, my full review will be posted on TV Squad. But, until then, the real fun is in the comments area right here -- feel free to jump in with your thoughts on the show, everyone is welcome! Survivors ready?

The merge is on! Tribe name is YinYang. Danielle won immunity. Russell gave Parvati his idol, now she has two ... he doesn't know that.

Whoa ... Pavarti gave Sandra and Jerri the idols! The vote would have been Jerri, but JT sent home.

Off Topic - That Was the Week it Was - April 18, 2010

I'm posting this latest off topic photo post from San Antonio, Texas! I'm here with a fantastic bunch of blog readers and staying at a luxury estate. Photos of that can be expected next week, along with inevitable airport shots.

I'm going to make this entry a bit short and sweet, with photos I took before heading off to Texas ...

You're leaving me?

Vincent settling into his cat condo at the pet resort. I told him he needs a vacation from me!

What's that? Don't tell me they have dogs in the kitty condos!

You're really going?

Just a violet

I'm not sure what this one is ...

Venus flytrap, maybe? No, I'm sure it's not, but it looks that way!

Poison Ivy

It does look pretty! And, no matter how much they chop it down, it keeps coming back.

I want to say hydrangea or something to that effect.

I'm better at photographing them than naming them.

Wee baby buds

Why are you looking at my butt?

Scarf Lady, meet Sweater Dude

A romance set on NJ Transit trains

Imagine, if you will, a picture ...

An ocean of violets in bloom ...

Animals strike curious poses ...

My apologies to Prince. Hmmm, a good caption?

1. Don't go to Texas!

2. Jaws of Death

3. Just a yawn.

North Street, Plainfield

I took this shot with the sepia filter of my old Pentax. You see, I left for work one day with my Canon which is my usual. However, its memory card was in my computer at home. Just as well, I like to play with the various filters on the camera. It's kind of like editing photos, but it takes the shot that way to begin with.

North Street with the illustrator filter on the Pentax.

East Front Street

I edited this one (taken with the Canon) to leave only bits in color.

Even weeds have beauty

When you miss a train, you miss it

You can't be one second late because they close the doors on you!

East Second Street billboards, edited

Well, I must get back to vacationing! How was your week?

Off to San Antonio!

I'm outta here! I'll be flying to San Antonio today and will get a Sunday post up for you anyway!

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains Blog Party Post 4/15 Episode

The show is starting in a minute or so. This post will be updated with the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Late tonight, my full review will be posted on TV Squad. But, until then, the real fun is in the comments area right here -- feel free to jump in with your thoughts on the show, everyone is welcome! Survivors ready?

Villains won reward. Parvati got the clue to the hidden idol and found it with Danielle. No one else knows, including Russell.

Heroes won immunity. JT gave Russell his idol thinking that there's an all-girl alliance. He wants Russell to vote out Parvati.

Courtney was voted out.

The Amazing Race - Blog Party Post - 4/11/10 Episode

Tonight's show is delayed by ten or eleven minutes here on the East Coast due to golf. (I wonder what the golf channel aired while CBS aired golf?) Once it starts, I'll update this entry with major events including the Pit Stop order and Philimination. My actual show review will be posted late tonight over on TV Squad. But the real fun (and most information) will be right here in the comments area. Everyone is invited to join in with your thoughts!

Dan and Jordan completed the fast forward task and are on their way to the pit stop. There will be a U-Turn ahead for the others.

Dan and Jordan made it to the pit stop first and each won a motorbike. Brent and Caite hit the U-Turn and chose to U-Turn Carol and Brandy.

Pit Stop
2. Brent and Caite
3. Jet and Cord
4. Louie and Michael
5. Carol and Brandy -- Philiminated (Yay!)
