May 11th's Weekly TV Thoughts

As always, there are spoilers below if you aren't up to date on these shows.

Tracker – Finally a bit more about the family storyline.  Nothing really about the mystery, but at least some of the emotional fallout.  I kind of liked it.  And the mystery of the week.  It really was good.  Don’t think I would have enjoyed it if we had had a sad ending.

Deal or No Deal Island – Did Rob think he wouldn’t get away with it?  Or did he really blank out and not hear.  Because that was such a stupid mistake to make.  You knew they weren’t actually going to tell us anything, so the cliffhanger was predictable.  I would have preferred they let us know who was eliminated for last place and keep the other until next week.  And who cares who the banker is?  I’m never wondered about that at all.  I’m guessing it will be Howie Mandel, but we’ll see.

The Weakest Link – The team decided to just bank all the time.  Did they ever try to make a chain after the first couple of rounds?  Did get the winner a decent prize.  Those three guys at the end sure seemed more friendly than you’d expect for some strangers.  I hope the winner and his wife enjoy their trip.

Survivor – Three weeks in a row someone goes home with an idol in their pocket.  At least she knew what she was doing this time.  She said she was going to keep it regardless.  And Q is still around despite everyone saying he should go.  Maria painted an even bigger target on her back with her lack of decision at the reward.  Even I knew that was the wrong decision, and I often make the wrong decisions.

The Amazing Race – I was hopeful that the nurses were going to be eliminated this week.  I’m so tired of their fighting.  Has any team been at the top like the boyfriends?  They are unstoppable.  I guess we are getting two legs next week.  It will be interesting to see how they cram all that into one episode.
