I have been in Italy for nearly 2 weeks, so I am catching up via TiVo.

Re: The Apprentice - The editing always makes it clear which team loses and usually makes it clear which individual is fired. Do the producers not know this or not care? Anyway, I was with Ric in calling John a sexist long ago.

Re: Survivor - I am loooving Stephanie. Damn she's amazing. From the sandbag challenge to the wrestling to the swimming, she really gets it done athletically. Too bad her team keeps losing.
*Papayoke - Angie said she and Stephanie voted for Bobby Jon because he would be more of a threat in individual challenges later on. I think they realized they would be down after the merge no matter what, so they went for eliminating individual threats. I don't know why Stephanie changed her vote after the tie.

Re: American Idol - Has it come out yet why Mario left the show? Anyway, I am a huge fan of Carrie's voice (she really nailed the end of "When Will I Be Loved"), but she really hasn't connected to many of her songs yet. Anwar continues to seem off to me, and Jessica, Nadia, and Bo continue to be interesting. I think tonight's theme is #1 hits, so it's certainly a broad theme.
