amazing race finale, and a NEW SHOW to watch!
woke up super early today to watch the amazing race finale! their first task was to carry a 145 pound pig across a beach and properly cover it for cooking. it was really amusing to see how the teams struggled with the pig, and they dropped the pig in the sand/seawater a few times. and the pig was supposed to be for cooking later.
after that, teams are supposed to head to the maui surfboard fence and create a mini surfboard fence with pictures representing each leg of their race. despite reaching there first, luke was the last to complete the task, while victor breezed through it, thus landing his sister and himself in first place. i was kind of shocked when they were told to make their way to their finish line after the surfboard challenge. was really expecting a few more tasks or at least a detour! so basically there wasn't much excitement in this finale in my opinion. which made it a little anticlimatic haha. i was even expecting some twist before the teams could check in on the finishing mat... but i think i gave the producers too much credit!
on a side note, i thought it was really funny how jamie and cara always end up with CMI taxi drivers. is it just their luck or something? but their drivers always do not know their way, or mess up things for them. and they will be bitching all the way in the taxi, which is highly entertaining haha.
anyway, i havent had time to blog about survivor on friday. i must say debbie getting voted out was quite a surprise to me. and as usual, coach continues to rant about him playing the game with integrity and honour, which is really funny. much as i hate coach, id love to see him stay around a bit more to see what other kinds of contradictory comments or fanciful stories he can weave up!
and today, i just found a new show to watch - harper's island! it should help me overcome my withdrawal symptoms from heroes for a while! :D watched the first 2 episodes of harper's island and thought it was awesome! and it fits the suspense / thriller genre show that i love to watch (: after watching the 2 episodes, i proceeded on to prepare the tutorial for the next chapter and i cant believe i spent 8 HOURS on the slides for half the tutorial! but im very proud of my work, and the slides look really nice (: hopefully my efforts will be appreciated haha.
