Survivor: Gabon’s Ace & Dan Debate Rice Rations, Sugar’s Strategy and More
October 31, 2008

Thanks to a surprise double-ouster, both photographer Ace truth about enzyte Gordon, 27, and attorney Dan Kay, 32, found themselves on the wrong side of Jeff Probst’s torch snuffer on this week’s episode of Survivor. They called from New York to settle debates about rice rations, Sugar’s smarts, Fang faults and what flavor of ice cream Marcus would be. –Carrie Bell

Both of you ended up on the opposite tribe at the switch. Do you think this helped you last longer in the game or contributed to your downfall?
Ace: 100 percent it contributed.
Dan: I would have ended up with the same fate. On Fang, I had a good alliance of four people but on Kota we won seven in a row so it wasn’t even an option to be sent home. Had I stayed on Fang, I would have enjoyed it more because I started to relax once I started to trust Matty, Randy and Susie.

Do you think Fang would have fared any better in its original state or are they just cursed? Read the rest of this entry »

Survivor: Gabon
Ace Gordon & Dan Kay Both Exit Survivor: Gabon
October 31, 2008

And then there were two …

In the red corner, you have the shrewd former-Kota photographer fancying himself a master manipulator. In the yellow corner, you have the earnest former-Fang attorney needy for an alliance. But in a twist-laden immunity challenge, both Ace Gordon, 27, and Dan Kay, 32, found themselves on the outs in a double-elimination episode of Survivor: Gabon. Here’s how both guys made their exit:

Pre-Reward Chatter: The Fang tribe learns if people really can cry over split rice – as supplies dwindle, Crystal accidentally bumps into the rice chest, reducing the team’s rations by two days. Crystal says she sees it in Ace’s and Matty’s faces that they are disappointed and later says she doesn’t want to eat because she doesn’t want to take away from their portion of food. Ace and Matty want Crystal to eat in order to get ready for challenges but she refuses. Kenny complains that everyone is acting in their own interests and it’s clear that it’s Ace and Matty against Crystal and he doesn’t like that. Meanwhile, Ace says, “Crystal did me a favor. She will be the next lamb to the slaughter.”

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Izzie & Alex Take Things Steady
October 31, 2008

When the episode opened with a warning that no animals were hurt during filming (a first), we immediately had high expectations for this week’s installment of the doc drama. With the help of a new brash attending and his practice pork, a risky tween tumor removal, Sapphic stupefaction and Alex’s foray into commitment, the staff of Seattle Grace made good on the promise.

Girl-on-Girl Reaction: Thanks to last week’s lessons, Erica and Callie had a mind-blowing second sexual attempt. Callie compared it to when she finally got glasses as a kid and her headaches disappeared and the green blobs she always saw became clear. “I could see the leaves on trees and I didn’t even know I was missing [them]. I didn’t know they existed. You are glasses. I am so gay, extremely gay,” she said welling up.

As any GA fan knows, this honest and uncontrolled outpouring makes Callie run for…the company of McSteamy. She requested “plain old missionary, boy-girl, penis-vagina sex” and was bummed when it was good for her. They hooked up again later and she was still miserable. When McSteamy told her she was the first woman he’d been with who was disappointed they made it to the big finish, she confided in him that Erica cried in bed after sex. “That was a compliment,” he reasoned. She explained further, “She was having a revelation. The sex is awesome with her. But it is also awesome with you. I thought there should be a difference between you and Erica.” Suddenly he got moral: “The difference is that I know you had sex with her 12 hours ago. She doesn’t know you had sex with me and that makes you a cheater. I’m fine with it. Are you?”

Callie had a heart to heart with Erica and admitted that she slept with McSteamy. “You were crying and seeing leaves and I wasn’t. I may never see leaves. I want to be with you and to do that I need to at least tell you the truth.” She ended the physical side of her relationship with McSteamy, but invited him for a drink. “We’re still friends. You are good for more than sex.” This revelation seemed to really please–and surprise–him.

America's Next Top Model
Hello Holland! Top Model Goes Dutch — in Amsterdam
October 30, 2008

The 6 remaining girls on Cycle 11 of America’s Top Model exuberantly arrive in Amsterdam, where they flaunt the most modelesque beauty and professionalism yet. In front of the cameras, that is. Behind the scenes is a different story. The social divide is more pronounced than ever as they experience the racy Red Light District, where anything goes. The girls have strong reactions the new and naughty scene, and split into two catty cliques.

Here’s a rundown:

Elina, Marjorie and Analeigh are progressively more … progressive. Their boho-European idiosyncrasies, demonstrated in group baths and super liberal opinions on just about everything, is getting to be a bit holier than thou. But it’s nice to see such sophisticated thinkers on a — ahem — reality show.

McKey, Samantha and Sheena are less articulate than Elina’a posse, considerably more conservative and potentially a little prudish. Some might call them simple-minded, but it seems they’re just earnest, honest, happy-go-lucky girls. Sheena can clearly keep up with Elina’a soliloquies, but it seems that with her nice, non-confrontational nature, it’s not even worth it. Read the rest of this entry »

Private Practice Recap: Pete Gets a New Love Interest
October 30, 2008

The disgruntled staff at Oceanside Wellness devised a plan last night to reclaim the “days of yesteryear,” as Pete put it and go back to a time when peace reigned in the office. That meant locking Sam and Naomi in a room with a tray of mouthwatering cupcakes. “Don’t come out until you’re done,” Addison told the pair.

Meanwhile, Cooper was forced to reexamine his relationship with Charlotte after the mother of a patient ran screaming from the practice when she realized she’d seen the pediatrician’s photo on an adult website. “Do you think I’m a pervert?” he asked Charlotte later, who responded, “There’s something wrong with you” when she learned his photo was still up on multiple adult websites.
