The Newsroom

Cochran called a team meeting basically saying that he wanted to stick around one more tribal council and then he'd be happy with being voted off. Dawn, Ozzy and Whitney had to stack dishes at Redemption Island to stay in the game. No, really! OK, it was stacking dishes on a balancing arm, but still... Dawn's stack crashed about 11 dishes in. She's on the jury. Whitney lasted 2 more dishes, and Ozzy remains at Redemption Island. Back at camp, Albert watched Edna do laundry for 2 hours while he reclined in a hammock, and then he proceeded to douse the fire by accident, getting his tribe annoyed at him and calling him "Prince Albert" behind his back. Albert won immunity. A prince among castaways. He also won a massage retreat and could take someone with him. He brought Coach along. Albert then gave away his reward to Cochran (as it was Cochran's birthday). (Cochran admitted to the camera his birthday was six months ago.) Tribal council turned into a b...

It's part 2 of the leg, and teams were sent to the MAJOR CAR COMPANY test track. I'd name the car company, but they aren't paying me a billion dollars in sponsorship rights. The road block was great: one team member had to take a MAJOR CAR COMPANY ICONIC CAR through a test track, completing a series of high speed exercises: hitting 100 mph and then braking in a specific spot, and doing a high speed slalom pylon time trial. And then victory doughnuts. Mmmm ... doughnuts. Marcus, of course, made football analogies while driving his car. Of course he did. From the test track it was off to Gent, Belgium for the detour: either build a raft and search for a clue, or assemble a waffle stand and make and decorate waffles. Mmmm ... waffles. The snowboarders and Amani/Marcus did the rafting. Ernie and Cindy and Jeremy and Sandy did the waffles. Poorly. Bill and Cathi pulled up the rear the entire leg and ended up doing the rafts. Ernie and Cindy managed to get through the waf...

NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. If you don't want to know who gets eliminated from Survivor, click here and do something fun instead. Actually, I lied. This review contains no spoilers because it was the annual US Thanksgiving Week Recap Show. Which means, "Nothing to see here, folks. Move along." Next week: A real show. Cochran and Coach have some kind of Emperor-Darth Vader thing going.

WARNING TO MY CO-WORKERS: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS! (Now I hope I can still get in the building tomorrow...) Teams started the leg in Copenhagen. They had to memorize a poem, ride a bike and recite the poem in proper dramatic fashion. Amani and Marcus did particularly well, which gave Marcus an opportunity to make football metaphors again. One of the snowboarders didn't bring enough drama to the dramatic recitation and had to do it again. From there, it was off to the original Legoland Park. The teams had to put together their next clue from Lego while riding a spinning teacup-style amusement park ride (OK, it was a pirate ride). Jeremy and Sandy lost a piece outside their spinning thingy and had to start over. The clue told them to head to a train station, where they boarded a train to Brussels. Ernie and Cindy bought their tickets and promptly dropped the tickets for the second stage of the trip. Drama! They got on the second train anyway, hoping no one would check f...

I finally got around to uploading some of our video from Disney World. This is part of the Lion King musical performance. It's the Tumble Monkeys gymnastic routine. Fantastic stuff. We were in the right place at the right time for this Barbershop Quartet/Bells performance of Silver Bells. From the Hollywood Studios backlot tour - a tanker truck fire "movie shoot". One of the live-action stunt scenes from the excellent Indiana Jones show. A variety of car stunts, from the "Lights, Motors Action" extreme stunt show:
