Survivor Nicaragua Intro

Survivor Nicaragua


On Survivor Nicaragua, the tribes were divided by age. The young tribe is La Flor, and the old tribe is Espada. The castaways also had to search for the Medallion of Power which gave a tribe an advantage in the immunity challenge if they chose to play it. Brenda found the Medallion of Power, but her La Flor tribe handed it over to Espada, in return La Flor received flint and fishing gear to help La Flor start a fire and catch fish respectively. If I was on La Flor, I would of kept the Medallion of Power, because even though the rewards are nice, immunity is far more important in the game. Ironically in Episode 5, both of this season's twist ended after a tribal shuffle, which I think was a stupid move for the producers, because they were both very interesting to watch. I was rooting for Kelly B, because I think she was an incredibly good athlete especially considering the fact she has only 1 leg, but alas she was voted off the La Flor tribe 5:1 after an inital 4:4 tie caused a revote. My favorite player still in the game is Kelly B's ally Alina.

Amazing Race 17 Intro

Amazing Race 17


The Amazing Race 17 started in Gloucester, Massachusetts where Phil Keoghan told the teams that the winners of the 1st leg which turned out to be Jill/Thomas would receive the Express Pass which is valid through the 8th leg allowing Jill/Thomas to skip any 1 task of their choice. Jill/Thomas skipped the detour between sled racing and tent building in Sweden (Leg 4) so they can't use it again. I hope the Express Pass returns next season, because I think it adds another strategic element to the race. My favorite team this season is Brook/Claire, because they have a lot of enthusiasm.
