Amazing Race, Ep. 25.9

Leg 9: Malta > Singapore

Adam & Bethany lead it off. Double U-Turn ahead. All teams are in agreement to U-Turn #Cyclists.

The teams are given seats on a flight to Paris, and need to book a connecting flight. However, they can check to see if there is an earlier arriving flight...they don't have to use the Paris flight.

Adam & Bethany arrive first and ask about the earliest flights to Singapore FROM PARIS. They book a flight landing at 6:40. Misti & Jim arrive, and ask for the same flight that Adam & Bethany booked. Next come the cyclists, who ask for the earliest flight to Singapore. The agent tells them there is a flight to Rome and from Rome to Singapore that arrives at 6:00. Oh no! Misti & Jim thought Adam & Bethany checked everything out and picked the earliest flight. Bethany didn't realize that they didn't have to use the Paris connection flight. Unfortunately, there's a new rule in play that teams can't rebook a flight once they book a flight. There plans to U-Turn the cyclists is now in jeopardy.

Amy & Maya arrive and the cyclists decide to help them and get them on their flight, so they tell them about the Rome flight and the fact that they don't have to take the Paris flight. Hopefully for the other teams, since Amy & Maya want them out, maybe they can still end up ahead of them and use the U-Turn.

Fast Forward
The first team to accomplish it gets the Fast Forward. The task is to ride the Flo Rider artificial waves and they both have to stay up for 2 minutes.

Kym & Alli are going to try for the Fast Forward because the other teams won't try it, assuming that one of the earlier teams went for it already.

Adam & Bethany read the clue, and they seriously consider going for it because they are surfers...even though they know that someone else may already be there trying it. You don't have to get their first, a team just have to complete it first.

They decide to go for it since they are behind any way.

Kym & Alli are there trying the task when Adam & Bethany arrive. Kym & Alli look like they are doing pretty well...darn it! They have both gotten past a minute, but have fallen several times. When they see Adam & Bethany arrive, I think that messed with their heads a little.

Adam & Bethany go for their first try, with Kym & Alli looking on. Adam looks really unsteady, and he fell even before letting go of the rope. Oh no!

Now it's Kym & Alli's turn again. Kym goes down! It's back to Adam & Bethany. Come on guys! He looks better this time, but there is so much time to go yet. I'm so nervous he's going to fall. Kym & Alli decide it's not worth it to stick around, so they pack up to leave. And Adam & Bethany get it done! Woohoo!

Kym & Alli are furious and fighting because Kym was the one who wanted to go for the Fast Forward and Alli didn't think they should have, but she listened to Kym.

Adam & Bethany now get to go the the Pit Stop!

Road Block: High Wire Act

Survivor, Ep. 29.10

Huyopa Camp - After Tribal
Keith thought Reed was going home...that's who he voted for. He said Reed is a gamer and he knows how to work the numbers. Reed is trying to figure out how to go further in the game, and he's thinking he might need to go after Jon because Jon thinks he's the alpha male right now.

Natalie is still totally confused by what happened.

Jon tells Natalie that he found an idol, and he wanted her to know that he trusted her.

Late that night, Natalie decided to get up and look for the still hidden idol that was at their camp. If she can find it, she would love to be able to use it to somehow get rid of Jon.

Uh-oh...I'm sensing a trend here.

Reward Challenge
Challenge: dive in the water, climb up to a platform and then jump off to get a key; the key unlocks puzzle pieces
Reward: they get to take baseball equipment to some little kids, and then get to share in some baseball food goodies

Teams:
Yellow: Reed, Alec, Jaclyn, Jon
Blue: Missy, Baylor, Natalie, Wes

Keith wasn't picked, so he doesn't get to play for the reward.

Wes and Jon are neck and neck all the way back to the platform. Missy gets a little bit of a head start on Jaclyn. Baylor goes in and Reed is not far behind. Alec vs Natalie. Alec is such a good swimmer, he was flying! Natalie did pretty good to keep up, though.

Yellow was working well together, while blue struggled to find the right key to unlock the pieces. Yellow was getting piece after piece, and blue still wasn't getting the right key. And just like that, yellow wins.

Reed decided to give up his spot for Missy because she had not won a reward yet. This could be a good move or a bad move. We all remember what happened to Jeremy last week after being "nice" and giving someone his reward. Reed's motives were not 100% just for Missy. He wants time with the "reward losers"...which did not include Jon and Jaclyn...to work on them in hopes of getting Jon out. Who knew that this guy who barely said 2 words the entire season before the merge, would now become one of the biggest gameplayers in the game.

Wes was chosen to go to Exile.

Huyopa Camp

The Voice, Ep. 7.19

Top 10 Results -- 2 more going home

Bottom 3: Anita Antoinette (Team Gwen), Reagan James (Team Blake) and Ryan Sill (Team Gwen)

The Bottom 3 sing again for America's Instant Save.

Reagan picked a good song, but the way she has changed her singing voice in recent weeks, just doesn't sound right on the song. Anita...oh Anita...she murdered another great song. She held out a long note, so loud, and so out of pitch, I actually grabbed my ears because the pitch hurt so badly. I'm surprised my ears weren't bleeding...it was that bad. And then there's Ryan. He sang one of my absolute, all-time favorite artists: Howie Day. I would love to hear more people sing his stuff because he is so freakin' awesome (seriously check him out if you've never listened to him)! Ryan sounded great on this song. I love him singing rock, but if he would go down the same musical alley as Howie Day, I would be perfectly happy with that :)

Receiving the most votes, and staying in the competition: Ryan!!! Again, I am absolutely shocked! I can't believe he got more votes than either of the 2 girls. It is really unheard of for someone to be in the Bottom 3 two weeks in a row and be saved. I sure hope he gets the votes next week, because he doesn't deserve to be in the bottom.

Going Home: Anita Antoinette and Reagan James
I am sad about losing Reagan, I really liked her. I can't believe she was in the bottom, and I can't believe she is leaving the competition so early. I am not upset about losing Anita at all...she's been here way too long already.

That means that in 2 weeks, 4 of the 4 people voted off have all been girls. DaNica is the only girl left in the competition. That is just crazy!

The remaining singers on each team:

Team Adam

Matt McAndrew
Chris Jamison
Damien

All of Team Adam is still intact!!! Woohoo!

Team Blake

Craig Wayne Boyd

Team Gwen

Taylor John Williams
Ryan Sill

Team Pharrell

DaNica Shirey
Luke Wade

The Voice, Ep. 7.18

The Top 10

Team Adam
(Side note: how hot does Adam look in that suit! Geesh!)

Matt McAndrew - "Fix You" by Coldplay
Oh, I have goosebumps before he even sings this! It's going to be so good! You can't go wrong with Coldplay, and with Matt's voice? Yeah...perfection. Those floating high notes, beautiful melody...and then that big push to the big chorus. Holy crap...what a performance! And just when you think it can't get any better, he perfectly shouts the big ending and then comes back in for that tender ending. Such dynamics in this song, and he did it perfectly. That song is hard, and not many people do it justice, but he did that and then some.

Damien - "You and I" by Stevie Wonder
Oh man, another Stevie Wonder song? No, no, no. I love when he does current ballads, I really dislike when he does the old "classics". This is probably my least favorite performance of his, entirely because of the song choice. I love his voice, but this was really painful for me to listen to. I couldn't wait for it to be over actually. Boring, boring, boring.

Chris Jamison - "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
Interesting song choice, but Adam knows what he's doing. I love that Adam was singing with Chris to show him what he needed to do. He totally killed this! There was nothing that he could have done any better with this song. It was a tough song because there are so many fast words all run together, but he mastered it. Such a great performance. I continue to just be impressed with how much he works the stage. He is so comfortable up there, and looks so natural. I have fun watching him because he has so much fun performing. I am such a huge fan of his!

Team Blake

Reagan James - "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea
I am not a fan of this song. I normally love her voice, but the way she is kind of speak-rapping this song so low...I really don't care for that at all. Parts of the song, she wasn't even singing, she was like speaking it, and yet somehow it was off-pitch. This song doesn't really showcase really how good she is. She sounds too much like Anita, and that's not a good thing.

Craig Wayne Boyd - "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash
Oh my gosh...you would never know that this was "that" song because he changed it so much by turning it into a ballad! It sounded nothing like the original...at all. I like the original (shocking I know). But, wow, I really like this version too! The more he sang, the more I liked it! This guy is so good! I got goosebumps on that long note at the end that he held forever...woah!

Team Gwen

Dancing With The Stars, Ep. 19.13 & 19.4 Finale

The Final Week!

Round 1: Judges' Picks
The judges pick a dance that they have done before that they want to see them improve on.

Bethany & Derek - Jive (Bruno's Pick)
Such a bummer that the set didn't cooperate, and that threw off their timing a little bit. That said, it was still done very well.
Score: 36

Sadie & Mark - Samba (Len's Pick)
This was, I think, my favorite of their dances...the outfits, the song, Mark's beard...everything about it. I think they also had some timing issues that I don't think they had the first time around. But I don't care, because this dance is just too fun and too cool. I love to watch her strut her stuff. And Mark split his pants! LOL!
Score: 38

Janel & Val - Samba (Julianne's Pick)
I'm so glad her rib injury didn't seem to hinder her at all. I hate when people get injured because it puts them at an unfair advantage. She came out like a trooper, and gave an amazing performance. I think she did a great job. I don't really even remember this one the first time around to compare this to, but I think it was so well done.
Score: 37

Alfonso & Witney - Jive (Carrie Ann's Pick)
You would never ever know that he was so injured by watching him. He moves so quick and effortlessly. Last week I could tell a little bit...but not this week! This was so good on week 1, but I think if it's possible, this was even better. Way to go Alfonso!
Score: 40

Round 2: Freestyle

Amazing Race, Ep. 25.8

Leg 8: Sicily > Malta

Misti & Jim lead it off

Route Info
Teams have to each carry a heavy tray with drinks up stairs. If anything breaks, they have to clean it up and start over.

Most teams have to do it more than once.

Roadblock: Into the Blue
One team member will repel down a cliff, and then search the water below for their next clue.

Alli was first to get down and find the clue. Misti and Tim were next.

It is amazing to see how fast Bethany can swim with only one arm. She was the first to make it down the rope from the second group. She smoked Amy and Robbie.

Robbie was ahead of Amy, but she passed him swimming back to the boat. That was pretty impressive.

Detour: Flag or Shine
They got no description for either one, so they had nothing to go on when picking which one to do.

Flag: walk on a long pole, that was greased, over water and grab 2 flags off a long pole

Tim & Te Jay see the flag challenge, but realize they didn't get the clue. Once they find the clue, they also find their Speed Bump. For their Speed Bump, they have to paint shields with a design.

Misti & Jim also didn't find the clue before starting the flag challenge, so they stop and look for the clue. Since this challenge was hard, they now know they don't want to go back to that one.

Kym & Alli start the challenge, but decide to switch.

Adam and Bethany choose to use their Express Pass instead of completing the flag challenge. I'm not really sure why they didn't even attempt the challenge. They weren't in last place or anything. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think this might be the last leg they can use it...that would make sense.

Tim & Te Jay can't get the 2nd flag. They have been at this for hours. They don't want to switch because they've wasted so much time on this challenge. Both are getting frustrated with each other. Eventually, they do switch.

Shine: polish armor, while wearing the armor. I thought this one looked easier than the other one, but it was really taking a long time to get the armor completely clean and shiny.

Brooke & Robbie appear to not have that much more to do, but they decide to switch to Flag. After a couple attempts, they give up and come back to the Shine task.

Misti & Jim are the first to complete the task, followed by Kym & Alli. Amy & Maya finish, leaving Brooke & Robbie. Brooke & Robbie were frustrated to be the last team...but then in walks Tim & Te Jay, and suddenly their chances got a whole lot better.

Pitstop #8
1. Adam & Bethany - they win $10,000 each
2. Misti & Jim
3. Kym & Alli
4. Amy & Maya
5. Brooke & Robbie
6. Tim & Te Jay - eliminated

Survivor, Ep. 29.9

Huyopa Camp - After Tribal
Reed is furious that Josh is gone. He needs to figure out what to do now that he is in the minority. Jon feels bad for leading him on and saying that he was with him. Keith calls Jon out for lying to everyone and making them think that he and Jaclyn were with him. Keith has had it with a bunch of people. He thinks of a plan, and that plan is to tell everyone to vote him off, then he plays his idol and someone else goes home.

Reward Challenge
Reward: a boat ride down the river, and lots of food of course
Challenge: one-on-one face-offs on a wobbly beam, loser falls in the mud! And it's raining!

Teams:
Blue: Wes, Missy, Jon, Jaclyn, Keith
Yellow: Alec, Baylor, Reed, Jeremy, Natalie

Reed vs. Wes -- Tough struggle, but it's Wes who goes in first -- Reed wins (Yellow 1-0)
Natalie vs. Jaclyn -- Natalie tries the bouncing approach, Jaclyn counters, but hits the mud fist -- Natalie wins (Yellow 2-0)
Jon vs. Jeremy -- Jon has a HUGE push -- Jon wins (Yellow 2-1)
Baylor vs. Missy -- Baylor tries the bouncing approach, and a grab, and Missy is in -- Baylor wins (Yellow 3-1)
Keith vs. Alec -- Keith swipes, Alec bounces, but Keith gets him in! -- Keith wins (Yellow 3-2)
Reed vs. Wes -- Reed smacks Wes in the face, Wes swipes back (Reed says "Ow") -- Wes wins (Tied 3-3)
Jaclyn vs. Natalie -- Jaclyn falls backwards -- Natalie wins (Yellow 4-3)
Jeremy vs. Jon -- Lots of arms flailing, but Jeremy goes in -- Jon wins (Tied 4-4)
Baylor vs. Missy -- Great balance by both, lots of arm swipes, Missy falls -- Baylor wins (Yellow 5-4)

Yellow Team wins reward. Natalie chooses to give up her position to Jon and Jeremy gives up his position to Jaclyn so they can have a reward. Nice move...strategically of course. Natalie said that they showed their loyalty in the vote, so they wanted to repay them.

The winning team chose Jeremy to go to Exile. Side note: does anyone think that Jeremy looks 20 years older when he doesn't have his buff on his head? I didn't realize he was so bald! And when did he lose all of that weight? I didn't realize how thin he was getting.

The Voice, Ep. 7.17

Top 12 Results -- 2 singers will go home, no matter what team they are on

Bottom 3: Jessie Pitts (Team Blake), Ryan Sill (Team Gwen), Sugar Joans (Team Pharrell). 2 of these are right (Jessie and Sugar), but why Ryan? Hoping he gets saved!

The Instant Save is in play, and RT to save on Twitter after each of them get to sing again.

Receiving the most votes, and staying in the competition: Ryan!!!!!
I am absolutely shocked, and ecstatic! I thought for sure Sugar would be saved. Thankfully, my tweet counted, and that everyone voted to save him!

Going Home: Jessie Pitts and Sugar Joans

The remaining singers on each team:

Team Adam

Matt McAndrew -- woohoo!!!! First one saved, they saved the best for first :)
Damien -- woohoo!
Chris Jamison -- triple woohoo! I was worried he would be in the bottom 3 since he was Adam's save, and was in the bottom 3 on his team.

It's worth noting that all of my favorite team made it through safely...the only team to do so!

Team Blake

Craig Wayne Boyd -- woohoo!
Reagan James -- woohoo! There was no doubt she would make it through.

Team Gwen

Anita Antoinette -- yuck!!! So ready for her to go.
Taylor John Williams -- meh...not sure what all the fuss is about. He's good, but has a really dull personality, and doesn't have very dynamic performances.

Team Pharrell

DaNica Shirey -- ready for her to go :(
Luke Wade -- meh...I could go either way with him.

The Voice, Ep. 7.16

Top 12 

Team Adam

Damien - "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies
Not a great song choice, Adam. I've never liked this song. It's so slow and boring. But you can't deny Damien's voice, and his ability to pour out his emotions in his song. It was a good performance...just wish it was a different song.

Matt McAndrew - "Take Me to Church" by Hozier
This is one of my favorite songs right now, and I'm so excited to hear him rock it! I have goosebumps already! This song exemplifies everything I love about Matt's voice. The beginning verse was super good. Then he got to the chorus, and it got even better! The goosebumps have now turned to chills! That was quite possibly the best performance of the season...it was that good! Perfect song, perfect performance, that's all there is too.

Chris Jamison - "Jealous" by Nick Jonas
I think this will be a good song for him, because it really features the falsetto. It's really popular right now, so I hope that will make people want to vote for him. He sounded so confident on this song, but that's nothing new...he always owns every performance. He looks like he's putting on his own show, and it's just so good every time. This was just such a good all-around performance, and it got better the further it went. He just has this innate ability to float from his falsetto to his full voice, it's crazy! Loved it, and love him!

Team Blake

Jessie Pitts - "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia
I'm not a fan of this song, but I'm interested to hear her change it up and do a different version of it. I like that she made it a little darker and it had a very haunting feeling to it. I like that she can be so original and she never sings a song exactly like the original. In fact the songs are usually unrecognizable from the original, and this was no exception. I still wasn't a fan of this song, but I like that she takes risks. One thing she needs to work on is her lower notes. When she hits the bottom of her register, she really struggles to find the note, and it comes out sounding forced. Her high notes that she just floats so effortlessly to, with that vibrato and yodel are her strong skills, and she always sounds good when she focuses on that.

Reagan James - "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" by Lenny Kravitz
This isn't my favorite performance of hers. I don't know if it's just the song or what. I just wasn't into this performance like I normally am with her. I agree with Adam, it was a little too breathy.

Craig Wayne Boyd - "You Look So Good In Love" by George Strait
Craig can do the impossible. He can make listening to country actually tolerable. This wasn't my favorite performance, but I always love listening to his voice.

Team Gwen

Ryan Sill - "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran
I absolutely love this song! It's one of the first songs I remember loving from my childhood. This is such a different song for him. We're used to the light pop sound, but this is darker and edgier, and he sounds almost like a completely different person! I love it! He was good before, but this was excellent! I think he really nailed it. The last huge, high notes were maybe a little off where they should have been, but it was still a really good performance.

Taylor John Williams - "If" by Bread
Another strong performance for John, but it was very boring. He usually has something that makes the song interesting. But this just didn't really go anywhere.

Anita Antoinette - "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley
Yuck. That's it. I'm so ready for her to be gone. I just can't handle the reggae any more.

Team Pharrell

Sugar Joans - "Take Me to the River" by Al Green
She actually isn't annoying this week. This is probably her best performance yet. She still isn't my favorite by any means, but at least I could tolerate listening to this performance. She toned down the scream and only did it at the end, which was much easier to handle.

DaNica Shirey - "Creep" by Radiohead
What?! "Creep"??? Never in a million years would I have ever imagined her singing this song. I am pleasantly surprised, Pharrell! She has been one of my least favorite singers this season, mainly because of the dated song choices that were all so boring. But this...THIS! This was amazing!!!! If she sang songs like this every week, she would be at the top of my list. I love this song, and she did an amazing version of it. I was a little worried because although she has power, I never saw her with this raw, dark, rock edge. But she totally nailed it, and then some! I got chills!

Luke Wade - "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran
This is when Luke is at his best...singing current, relevant songs. I love the range of dynamics he showed with this song. He was soft, and he also brought some power and emotion at the end. I liked this performance.

Dancing With The Stars, Ep. 19.12

The Semi-Finals!

It's a good sign to see Alfonso in the dancing introductions! News broke a few days ago that he severely injured his back during rehearsals. He could barely walk and was not dancing to practice. It was uncertain if he would be able to compete or not.

Round 1: Plugged Version of the Song

Sadie & Mark - Quickstep
In rehearsals Sadie was so rattled by forgetting a little bit of the dance last week. She showed none of that during this dance at all! She came out like the energetic and confident girl we have come to know and love. This was a crazy Quickstep, and I love the little modern hip-hop moves that Mark threw in there. It was a really cool routine! I'm so glad she bounced back from that moment of insecurity.
Score: 37 (10 from Len!)

Tommy & Peta - Jazz
Immediately when I heard the song "Tainted Love" start playing, I just had to laugh. Such a funny song for him to do. Peta didn't disappoint with this fun and quirky choreography. Unfortunately, I think he got a little lost at times and it seemed a little disjointed as he tried to pick it back up again. But it's always fun to watch him having fun.
Score: 28

Bethany & Derek - Samba
I was like, "that's not Derek on the bench with her!" It was Sasha. Then Derek jumps over the bench and just butt-bumps him right off. Cute! It was a strange song choice for a Samba, and it didn't feel like a normal Samba. You would never know by this fun and cute routine that Derek had a major mental block with coming up with the choreography this week. He always comes through, and every performance is always top-notch. He is just an amazing man. Love him!
Score: 36

Janel & Val - Paso Doble
Can we just talk about Val and Maks dancing together as a couple in rehearsals! How cute was that!

This is not a song I would think of for a Paso, but as it hits the chorus it does really pick up. She looks so fierce in all black! She was really rockin' it, and that was some powerful dancing. She is really incredible, and I just love her chemistry with Val. That dance seemed way too short...I want more! (Just like Carrie Ann said!)
Score: 40!

Alfonso & Witney - Argentine Tango
I hate seeing him in so much pain! The Argentine Tango calls for lifts, so we'll see what they come up with to compensate. For the first time, you can tell that he's being very cautious and trying not to overextend himself. Normally, he would be so extended with his legs, and he would be twisting and turning his upper body, but he's a little more stiff. Which is TOTALLY understandable given the extent of his injury. That said, he still pulled off a very, very good and fun routine. Even as he stands to get his scores, you can see how much p he's in..he's in tears, and I'm in tears for him!
Score: 36

Round 2: Unplugged Version of the Song

The Voice, Ep. 7.15

Top 12 Revealed
The 2 singers with the most votes from each team will advance automatically. Each coach will then save 1 member of their team.

Team Adam

Top 2 Advancing: Damien and Matt McAndrew
Saved by Adam: Chris Jamison
Going Home: Taylor Phelan and Mia Pfirrman

Team Blake

Top 2 Advancing: Reagan James and Craig Wayne Boyd
Saved by Blake: Jessie Pitts
Going Home: Taylor Brashears and James David Carter

Team Gwen

Top 2 Advancing: Taylor John Williams and Anita Antoinette
Saved by Gwen: Ryan Sill
Going Home: Bryana Salaz and Ricky Manning

Team Pharrell

Top 2 Advancing: Danica Shirey and Luke Wade
Saved by Pharrell: Sugar Joans
Going Home: Elyjah Rene and Jean Kelley

My thoughts on the Top 12...

Team Adam: So happy that Matt and Chris are still in it! I also like Damien, so it's a win-win-win for Adam. I am very sad to see Taylor go though, and Mia was growing on me. Adam's team was just so strong, so it could have been any of them to stay or go. But I definitely love all 3 on Adam's team!

Team Blake: Reagan is the only one I really like Blake's team, so I'm glad she's sticking around! Of the others to choose from, Craig and Jessie would have been my picks. So, I'm pretty happy with these 3 as well.

Team Gwen: This is where things went horribly wrong. I can't stand Anita, so I'm bummed that America voted her through. Granted, had America not, Gwen would have most likely saved her...yuck! She was the only one from Gwen's team that I didn't like. I'm happy that she saved Ryan because I really like him. With the choice between Taylor and Ricky, I would have picked Ricky. I do like Taylor though, so I'm OK with it...but I'm going to miss Ricky. And Bryana was so good! I can't believe she's not moving on. Gwen's team was like Adam's: loaded with talent. Unfortunately, Anita took a spot that could have gone to Ricky or Bryana.

Team Pharrell: Another travesty! How in the world did Jean not make it? She's had some of the biggest and best performances on the show so far. Danica bugs me and I can't understand why everyone thinks she's so good...I'm not impressed. And Sugar REALLY bugs me. She is not good! Her voice is annoying like nails on a chalkboard. I can't believe Pharrell picked her over Jean. I do like Luke though, so I'm happy that Pharrell has at least one good singer left on his team. My favorites were Luke and Jean, and I only got one of them. We're now left with two of the most annoying singers from any team left on Pharrell's team.

So, as usual, I've got to root for Team Adam! Go Matt, Chris and Damien! Plus a shout out to Reagan from Team Blake, Ryan from Team Gwen, and Luke from Team Pharrell. Honorable mentions go to Craig from Team Blake and Taylor from Team Gwen

Survivor, Ep. 29.8

Huyopa Camp
Everyone is still reeling from Julie's voluntary departure from the game. Everyone's games are kind of up in the air at this point and no one is sure of anything. No one knows for sure where anyone stands since they haven't had a Tribal yet.

Reward Challenge
Challenge: load a cart with large pieces, then use pieces to build a temple, then raise their flag. Winners get a taco bar.

Schoolyard picks:
Yellow: Keith, Natalie, Wes, Jeremy, Reed
Blue: Baylor, Jon, Jaclyn, Alec, Josh

Missy wasn't picked, so she sits out.

Yellow is in the lead on the first run. They are working well together, led by Keith and Wes. Blue starts to catch up building the temple puzzle. Yellow is done first and Natalie releases the flag and yellow wins!

Yellow chooses to send Jon to Exile Island. Keith said he's a big guy and he can do well on his own.

At the reward, Natalie asks "Should we be talking about strategy like everyone else does on a reward?" Keith said if Julie hadn't have quit, he doesn't know who they would have voted for. Jeremy isn't buying it...he knows they were coming for him.

Meanwhile Wes has no shut-off valve. Keep the tacos coming...and then #TacoOverload. His dad warned him to slow down, but he didn't listen, and he paid the price for it.

Huyopa Camp
Josh is sad they lost, but he is happy to be at camp with the people he is so he can talk strategy. He wants to work on Baylor some more. He tells her that she at least owes him one vote because he stuck his neck out for her several times. She felt like he was blackmailing her. She says (not to him) that she doesn't owe him anything and that the Christian thing to do is to give without expecting anything in return. At this point, Josh is fed up with her and he's done trying.

Exile Island
Jon has a clue, and he realizes it's a clue to an idol hidden on Exile, and not back at camp. He heads to exactly where he thinks the clue has told him to go. He was running out of time because the tide was coming in. He climbs this really tall pillar, and sure enough...BINGO! There's the idol!

Huyopa Camp
Wes continues to...um...have some bodily function problems after his #TacoOverload. The girls are disgusted with all of the gross talk. Jeremy is the only guy with some common decency.

Baylor tells Alec that she feels like a slave because he treats her like she's his baby sister. She said she wanted some food and he said "this ain't no charity". Alec continues to shout orders to all the girls to keep the fire going.

After the guys go for a walk, Jaclyn said that they just lost hers and Jon's vote for the way they were treating her and the other girls. Keith may or may not have said that he was going to whoop Baylor.

Alec and Keith want to stick with the plan to get Jeremy out. Alec says the words of his own death "I feel pretty comfortable right now." He said as long as Jeremy doesn't win immunity, they will vote him out. Yep...we'll see.

Immunity Challenge

The Voice, Ep. 7.14

Live Shows, Night 2: Gwen and Pharrell's teams compete

Team Gwen

Anita Antoinette
"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor
I love this song...finally she sings a decent song. I really love her look tonight! So the beginning was too low and some of her notes were unintelligible. It got better when she got to the chorus, except she seemed to be kind of off the beat and out of breath. Out of all her performances, this one was the most tolerable. It wasn't my favorite by any means, but for her it was better than what she's done so far.

Ricky Manning
"Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith
This is not my favorite song choice for him. It takes the song a little while to get good. Once he gets to the chorus, it's beautiful. He's got such a great tone. This wasn't my favorite performance of his, but I'm still a fan.

Bryana Salaz
"Amnesia" by 5 Seconds of Summer
Even though this song was originally done by a boy band, it really suits her well. She always sounds amazing. She really connected with the song. I think maybe if she would have sung it a slightly higher key it would have been even better. The end of the song was really good.

Ryan Sill
"I Live" by OneRepublic
This is such a great song, and it's a great song for him. His voice is just so beautiful. I love listening to him. He really brought it big at the end of the song. I love the choices he made with the higher notes at the end, which is a little different than the original, but I liked it. And now that song is officially stuck in my head.

Taylor John Williams
"Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel
He always makes such interesting choices. This wasn't my favorite performance of his, but he did a good job with it. I love the bluesy tone of his voice.

Team Pharrell

The Voice, Ep. 7.13

It's time for the Live Shows! America votes to save 2 singers, and the coaches will be saving 1 from their team to move on.

Up first are Team Adam and Team Blake

Team Adam

Chris Jamison
"Don't" by Ed Sheeran
LOVE THIS SONG! I'm so glad he picked it! It is so popular right now, so hopefully that will win some votes. It's definitely a tough song because it's got a lot of words and a tricky rhythm. He totally nailed it! He seriously couldn't have done this song any better. He performed it great too. He always looks so comfortable on stage. I love that he stayed true to the original, but he also added some of his stuff to it. I wondered if he would sing "that line" of the song (if you know the one I'm talking about), and he didn't (which I'm glad). He tastefully switched part of the verse with an earlier part of the song, and it was seamless. Great, great, great performance! Love him!

Damien
"I'm Not the Only One"
I'm so glad Adam picked this song for him, because it is perfect! This is such a great song. The beginning started out a little slow, but once he got to the chorus, it was amazing. I love the little run of high notes he threw in at the end, that was kind of a little surprise, and it was really cool. The end of the song was so beautiful. And that ending...holy crap! That was so good!

Matt McAndrew
"God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys
I am not so sure about this song choice. I wish he would have done something more current. This is a very different side than we've seen from him. Even though I don't care for this song, he sounded great. BUT...it was boring...until he got to the "ba-ba-bum" part. I sure hope people vote for him. I hope they remember the cool things he's done up to this point, because, I'm sorry Matt, but this was just so sleepy and boring!

Mia Pfirrman
"Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Ray
She continues to impress me every time I see her. I love her tone. She had a couple of rough lower notes. But her high notes were so powerful. This was a very haunting performance. I think she did a great job.

Taylor Phelan
"Cool Kids" by Echo Smith
I LOVE THIS SONG! It's one of my favorite songs right now, so I 'm really excited to hear him do this. I got goosebumps, and it just started! I always enjoying watching his performances. He's so animated and all over the stage...but he does it in a good way that doesn't make him look to crazy and out of control. This was a perfect song for him. His voice sounded great, and  I love what he did with the song.

This is so not good...I love Adam's entire team! We have to lose 2 of these people, and I don't want to lose any of them.

Team Blake

Dancing With The Stars, Ep. 19.11

Theme: America's Choice, and Trios
America has chosen the dance, song, hairstyle and various other things about the dances.

Alfonso & Witney - Foxtrot
I'm not sure why America chose a ballroom dance for him, when he's so good and entertaining at the fun, upbeat dances. I've run out of adjectives to describe how good he is. He just makes everything look so easy! He can be smooth when he needs to be, he can be quick and sharp when he needs to be. There just isn't anything he can't do.
Score: 37 (10 from Len)

Tommy & Peta - Viennese Waltz
Tommy's arms look so much better this week! Sometimes his arms just start flailing around, but tonight, they were smooth and he was finishing the motion. Oh no...he almost fell down! He had a little slip, but he caught himself and was able to smoothly finish the dance like a true pro. Oh Tommy...
Score: 29

Lea & Artem - Samba
I love the song choice for this dance, and her tiger outfit. I just wish they would have used the Maroon 5 version of the song, because this version really sucked and it was distracting. I don't know what's happening to her as the weeks go on, but she is just lacking something. This could have been so cool and sexy, but it was just kind of lazy. I'm not sure how else to describe it.
Score: 34

Bethany & Derek - Viennese Waltz
Just beautiful! I love the theme, and Derek's choreography was just perfect. I love them together so much. And oh, he looked really hot...as usual.
Score: 36

Sadie & Mark - Jive
Look at Sadie go! This dance was so fast! She is incredible!She impresses me every week. She dances like she's so much older, it's crazy to think how good she is at such a young age. That was such a fun routine!
Score: 33

Janel & Val - Quickstep
They are just too cute together. I love how they interact. She has such an expressive face, and it really makes the dances enjoyable. This choreography was really tough. It might be her toughest dance. She still did an amazing job, even though Val had a little bobble. I think something must be wrong with the floor because it seemed like everyone had a little bobble tonight. And, let's not forget...they kissed!!!
Score: 38

Trios

Alfonso & Witney, with Lindsay - Paso Doble
It's always fun to see Witney and Lindsay together, since they have known each other for so long. "Turn Down for What?"...that was intense! Everything about this was amazing, and so well done! He came off as the strong man with those 2 gorgeous women. I absolutely loved the girls' hair and costumes! Very well done! I didn't think the crowd was ever going to stop screaming!
Score: 40

Tommy & Peta, with Sharna - Samba
Chong Airways...haha! This is hilarious! He better start doing some dancing though, or Len is going to have a fit! There's those Tommy hips! I just have to laugh when I watch him! Unfortunately, as cool and as funny as that was, I'm really worried because there was not much choreography for him! Oh my...he's got the judges speechless, coughing up a lung, and bursts of laughter that came out as a loud honking noise, and a lot of snorting...what?! That was a hilarious attempt at judging on that one!
Score: 28

Lea & Artem, with Henry - Paso Doble
Oh my...2 hot guys doing the Paso...who needs Lea, get out of the way! I love the song choice for this one. Whoa, what was that weird sqautting move she just did...that was kind of gross. Very cool dance, but I would have preferred Lea not be in it.
Score: 36

Bethany & Derek, with Tony - Argentine Tango
This...is...going...to...be...awesome! So glad to see Tony back! This is always one of my favorite dances because I love the footwork and the lifts. I can't wait to see what Derek comes up with. And it does not disappoint (was there any doubt). The music seems more suited for a Paso Doble because it's so dark with such heavy beats. I love the transitions Derek always makes so interesting. This was so amazing, I can't even say just how amazing it was! And that ending was epic! Wow! I don't know how they didn't get a perfect score!
Score: 38

Sadie & Mark, with Emma - Foxtrot
It will be interesting to see how Mark choreographs a ballroom dance for 3 people. I'm so disappointed that they didn't get a fun dance, because I would have loved to see her with 2 guys. So, this just looks weird...it looks like Emma is the third wheel, but maybe that's the thing he was going for, because it did look like she was trying to steal Mark from Sadie. And then he just threw Emma away at the end! How rude! I don't know, I just didn't really care for this for some reason. But how funny is she? She said she forgot the last part of the dance and she had to make it up...and then she gets a perfect score!
Score: 40

Janel & Val, with Keo - Salsa
Welcome back Keo! This is going to be a good dance! I love that Val chose him because he thinks he deserves to be in a great number. I agree. He really got ripped off because of having Lolo as his partner and getting voted off first. Val isn't going to hold anything back, as he said they are going to do Cirque de Sole moves...with a jungle/tribal theme. This number was so crazy! They threw her in the air! And what was that scissor move where it looked like they were going to pull her legs apart?! Whoa!
Score: 39

The Results

In Jeopardy: Sadie & Mark and Lea & Artem

Going Home: Lea & Artem

Yes! Whew...that was close! If it wasn't going to be Tommy (sadly), it had to be Lea to go. I can't bare to see Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie or Janel going home.

BBAU 11: Week 9 Recap

Week 9 in the BBAU house...

New HOH
David! It's about time! I think he will be a great HOH.

His first Power Play involves the 4 Next Door. They must convince him why they should get to join the party. He can only choose one of them.

Leo made a really good plea (better than any of the others). however, he chose to let Cat come over for the party. Upon  telling the group who he chose, Lawson leapt over the coffee table and attacked David! He was so happy.

Eviction #1
Lawson is evicted! No doubt, his scandalous relationship with Cat is the main reason he is gone. He was so fun and likable early on, but it's been proven time and time again that the Australian public doesn't like cheaters (hahem...Tully).

Evictions #2 & 3
It's a double! First to go is Aisha and then Cat

Weekly Shopping Task

Amazing Race, Ep. 25.7

It's the all-time 300th leg of The Amazing Race!

Leg 7: Morocco > Sicily, Italy

Misti & Jim lead it off

The first flight with Misti & Jim and Kym & Alli arrived at 8:00. The second flight with the rest of the teams arrived at 8:40. They get to their destination and the clue says it doesn't open until 6:30 the next morning, which means everyone is all together.

Everyone struggles to find a taxi, but Misti & Jim and Kym & Alli were lucky to find one pretty quickly. Brooke & Robbie have the worst luck, and wander around for quite awhile looking really lost, with no taxi in sight...for 40 minutes!

Road Block: On the Fast Track
One member of the team will drive a go-cart on a track along a mountain and then ride back in a vintage racecar. They have to do it in under 4:07.

Jim and Kym take off for their teams, followed by Maya, Adam and Te Jay not too far behind.

Jim and Kym passed, but Maya finished in 4:32, so she had to do it again. The bad thing is that heats only run every 20 minutes.

Somehow Brooke & Robbie caught up and she is in the race. She passed by Maya on the course!

They all passed in the same round.

Detour: Painters or Posers
Painters: restore a fresco on a high scaffolding--only 4 teams can do it...first come, first served
Misti & Jim, Kym & Alli, Adam & Bethany, Tim & Te Jay

Adam & Bethany, Tim & Te Jay and Amy & Maya were all fighting for just 2 spots. Amy & Maya lost out, so they had to leave and go to the other Detour.

After 2 visits by the judge, Misti & Jim get the OK, and Kym & Alli aren't too far behind.

After what seems like quite a while, Adam & Bethany pass, with Tim & Te Jay

Posers: listen to an opera, and then match characters and the opera they sang
Amy & Maya, Brooke & Robbie

This one looks like it's going to be really hard. Brooke & Robbie realize how hard it is after sitting through it once. They thought they might want to switch. Then they realized all they had to do was match costumes. They go back to listen to it again, and are joined by Amy & Maya.

Brooke & Robbie are ready to have their answers checked. They got one wrong, so they had to start over. Amy & Maya also have one wrong. The 2 teams now decide it would be better to work together. That worked and they got it right. Amy & Maya presented theirs first, so they got to leave before Brooke & Robbie...who arrived first at the Detour. They are now in 3rd and 4th place.

Pitstop #7
1. Misti & Jim -- they win a trip to Jamaica
2. Kym & Alli
3. Amy & Maya
4. Brooke & Robbie
5. Adam & Bethany
6 Tim & Te Jay -- NON-ELIMINATION

Survivor, Ep. 29.7

Coyopa Camp
Missy & Baylor voted for Keith at the last Tribal Council. The next day, Missy explains to him that they were trying to flush out the idol. He said they could have let him know ahead of time. He said if Dale had also voted for him, that would have made it a tie. They said they would have voted for Dale if that would have happened. Keith says it doesn't sit well with him, and he says he's done with them and ready to leave them high and dry.

Hunahpu Camp
Josh is worried that they didn't get rid of Jeremy when they could have. They wanted him gone before the merge. Well...they just got treemail that says they are merging.

MERGE!

The Voice, Ep. 7.11

The final Knockouts, which decide who is going to the Live Shows

Team Adam

Blessing Offor vs Chris Jamison
I don't like this matchup. I LOVE Chris and Adam LOVES Blessing. This is not going to end well ;(

Chris - "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding
Oh, how I hate this song! It is on my all-time list of worst songs ever. Why, Chris, why?! The good thing is that Adam loves this song, so hopefully that will help him win this battle. As much as I hate the song, Chris's voice just sounds so good on any song. He did some great things with the song, and definitely improved it from the original. I loved the ending of the song, where he really let his skills shine. His falsetto is crazy! He always sells every performance with how he moves around the stage. He's just a star, and he's so much fun to watch/listen to.

Blessing - "Your Body Is A Wonderland" by John Mayer
As I've said before, Blessing just doesn't sing stuff I like. Now, I do like John Mayer, so I thought there might be hope. But, he went and Stevie Wondered it, and really ruined it. It didn't really even sound like the original. I especially didn't like the way he shouted one of the most recognizable parts of the song. I just didn't care for this at all. He always sounds pitchy...why doesn't anyone else ever hear that?

WINNER: Chris Thank you God!!! I couldn't bare to lose another good one, especially to Blessing.

Matt McAndrew beat Rebecah Samarin
I am so incredibly bummed we didn't get to watch Matt. He's one of my favorites, and I would have loved to see him take on Train's "Drops Of Jupiter".

Team Blake

Allison Bray vs Taylor Brashears
Allison - "Sin Wagon" by Dixie Chicks
She killed the vocals--so good! She added some fun quirkiness to it, but I think she could have done more to let loose and make it wild like Taylor Swift advised her to do. There are some really hard parts in this song, and she totally nailed it.

Taylor - "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac
This was a really good song choice for her. It really suited her voice. It was soft and subtle, and the little inflections in her voice were perfect. It was a little on the safe/boring side though. I don't think one long-held note was all that impressive. That was really the only big moment in the song. She didn't really add anything special to the song.

WINNER: Taylor

Grant Ganzer vs Reagan James
Reagan - "Hit 'Em Up Style" by Blu Cantrell
This is such a cool song, that I love! And I don't think anyone has ever sung this song on any reality singing competition ever. It's definitely challenging, that's for sure. She continues to impress me with every performance, and this was no different. She has such a mature sound for only being 15. She really carried the energy that this song requires. She even gave me goosebumps. This girl is going to be a star. Those runs at the end were ridiculous!

Grant - "Apologize" by OneRepublic
Who is this guy? We haven't seen him in any round, I don't think...if we did it wasn't much. I absolutely love this song. This is a big, popular song to tackle for such a young guy. He impressed me with his strong lower register. I didn't think he would be able to be that solid that low. He has a surprising growl in his voice that you don't really see coming. I think he did a pretty good job, but that song is so difficult. I'm not sure if it was as good as it could have been. I think he needs a year or two, and he'll be really good.

WINNER: Reagan

Team Gwen

Dancing With The Stars, Ep. 19.10

Dynamic Duos & Dance-Off
Each couple is portraying a famous couple. The highest score of the night will win immunity, and cannot be voted sent home. The other couples will face-off in a dance-off to earn more points. Based on their scores from last week, they will choose who they will dance against, and the other team will pick the dance. The winner will get 3 points added to their score.

Lea & Artem - Jazz
"Bonnie & Clyde"
Love the costumes and the set...totally Bonnie & Clyde! Artem's choreography is really spot-on. I wouldn't say this was her best dance. She never seemed totally comfortable, and she didn't seem to really be giving it her all, it's like she was holding something back. I didn't see her character in this, and she even brought in an acting coach to help with that. Julianne's comment of "underwhelming" hit the nail on the head.
Score: 32

Michael & Emma - Foxtrot
"Tarzan & Jane"
You've gotta hand it to Emma for always finding ways to avoid him doing too much dancing. He did some spins, and a little bit of footwork, but like most dances, he just stood there and she did all the work. So sad that someone like him is still in the competition and people like Jonathan and Antonio are not. If only he was showing improvement every week, but he's not....please put him out of his (and our) misery.
Score: 25

Janel & Val - Contemporary
"Romeo & Juliet"
Of course they get Romeo & Juliet! How cute! I love her dress, so flowy. Their movements are so connected, they're like an extension of each other. The lifts in this routine were just insane and so creative. I have to say, though, I'm a little disappointed in the story...I was hoping for a little more emotion. I think a different song would have conveyed the story better. But Val did a great job with the choreography.
Score: 40 (+3 = 43)

Tommy & Peta - Paso Doble
"Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash"
OMG Tommy! He never fails to make me laugh. He's such an interesting character: he is trying to be totally serious (maybe), but yet there's some comedy there, and just watching him do the moves, there's just something so cute and comical about it. But, that said, he still manages to do a great job with the moves and the choreography. It's not all about comedy with him...that's just an added bonus. I love him trying to be so serious and pull off the mean matador. He was a little herky-jerky instead of strong and powerful, but it was still so fun to watch. And that choreography wasn't easy. Michael would never be able to pull it off.
Score: 26 (+3 = 29)

Sadie & Mark - Contemporary
"Adam & Eve"
It's very cool that Sadie gets to do a Biblical dance. I can't wait to see what Mark comes up with. Goosebumps...never ending goosebumps! Chilling. This was so mesmerizing! Mark was always good with choreography and storytelling, but this season, he's really gone to such a new level, and he is just totally blowing everything up! The part where they eat the apple, and the lights and sound and everything just exploded, was so powerful! I can't say anything else, it was just fantastic.She was gorgeous and showed so much power, which normally isn't part of Contemporary, but it really worked for this number.
Score: 38

Alfonso & Witney - ChaCha
"Batman & Robin"
I love when they use ziplines! What a set! Her hair and costume are fabulous. His dancing was spot-on, didn't miss a beat...as usual. He just doesn't mess up. He makes everything look so easy and effortless. And the choreography is no joke. They are always in sync, and it's always entertaining.
Score: 38 (+3 = 41)

Bethany & Derek - Salsa
"Lucy & Ricky Ricardo"
I love how she was totally getting into character in the rehearsals. And Derek with his "Ricky" accent...so cute! Could his muscles be popping out of that tight shirt any more?! Holy smokes! Her practicing really paid off because she 100% nailed Lucy in this dance. The choreography with the kitchen set was really cool. Even though they didn't use a lot of the dance floor, there was so much going on, and so many steps. She was awesome!
Score: 37 (+3 = 40)

Live Dance-off

BBAU 11: Week 8 Recap

Week 8 in the BBAU house

The 4 from Next Door
4 people move into the Sanctuary!

Tom, 26, Sydney
Penny, 30, Melbourne
Richard, 25, Sydney
Lina, 25, Melbourne

They settle in quickly to their new digs, and start making a ton of noise in their pool. The housemates also in their pool start to hear them, and are wondering what's going on. They think it could be Skye and Leo, but they find them in the bedroom. Everyone else is accounted for, so they think they could be intruders.

They start to shout to the people in the Sanctuary, and they shout back! They say "we're your new neighbors!'

Lawson goes to Big Brother and asks about them. Big Brother says he will invite them to come over for him.

Snooze You Lose Task

Amazing Race, Ep. 25.6

Leg 6: Morocco

Kym & Alli lead it off

Route Info: Horse-Drawn Carriage
A few teams thought the destination was close, so they decided to walk...it turns out to be 10 km away.

They have to carry 2 bags of hay, carry it up a ladder and stack their bags. Then they take a horse-drawn carriage ride.

Bethany totally just climbed that ladder with one arm and pulled up the bags of hay as Adam handed to her. Wow!

Adam & Bethany are the first to complete the task. Amy & Maya see them and ask where they are supposed to go. All they told them was that they needed to get a taxi.

Tim & Te Jay continue to be lost, and Amy & Maya grabbed hay but not from the marked feed station. The 2 teams are now trying to work together to figure out what they are supposed to do.

Shelley & Nici get totally lost on the way to the Detour.

Detour: Camp or Cream
Camp: set up a tent
Cream: milk a goat to fill a milk pail, and then churn it into a 3 oz bowl of butter

Camp: Misti & Jim, Tim & Te Jay
Cream: Adam & Bethany, Brooke & Robbie, Kym & Alli, Amy & Maya

Kym & Alli decide to switch tasks because they find out they have to shake the milk in the animal skin for 45 minutes. They think they can put up a tent in 45 minutes. They switch and are having no luck with their tent. They think now that they shouldn't have quit. So...they switch back.

Brooke is having trouble catching her coat. Robbie holds the bowl and tells her that he is over there with the bowl whenever she's ready. Oh my gosh. He like doesn't even want to touch the goat. As she is milking the goat, she keeps moving. Brooke says she needs her to not move...he says "I'm holding him"...yes, he said "him".

Adam was so funny, he started to chant like the local guy who was making the butter. Ha!

Road Block: Crossing Canyons
They have to cross a very wobbly board bridge with only little wires to hold onto, and part way through there is a puzzle, and then finish on a zip line.

Misti is the first to try. She was the only one there, and made it through with no other teams passing her.

Bethany is the next to try. She did so good, only being able to balance with one arm. She had to switch her clips with only one arm, and it was no problem. The problem came with putting the puzzle together...it was hard for her to put the pieces together.She took her shoes off and used her feet to hold everything together. And it worked!

Tim is on the course and gets to the puzzle. But Kym was bookin' it across the ropes and joined him at the puzzle. They decide to work together to figure out the puzzle. I think he would have been there all day if she hadn't helped him.

Brooke complained the whole way across the ropes, and then got to the puzzle and had no clue what she was supposed to do. Maya made it to the puzzle, and meanwhile, Brooke moaned and complained "I don't understand why these don't go together...I don't know what I'm supposed to do...I don't get it, I just don't get it." Wah wah wah. Finally she gets it, and Maya is still trying to figure it out.

Shelley is the last to arrive.

Pitstop #6
1. Misti & Jim -- win a trip to Brazil
2. Adam & Bethany
3. Kym & Alli
4. Tim & Te Jay
5. Brooke & Robbie
6. Amy & Maya
7. Shelley & Nici -- eliminated (Finally!!!)
