Now, the end is almost here, and so we face, our semi-final curtain…
So… Diem actually interviews during The Dome that she hopes Mark and Robin come back because they’ll be easier to beat in the final. If only there was a way she could have guaranteed she’d go against their easy asses. Ah, well.
The Dome is brutal – and heartbreaking, if you have a soft spot for old men and girls who cry. They do the metal X rastle-grapple challenge for the third time, and there’s a series of mounts, 69s, and painful-looking arm twists before Robin loses and Mark valiantly loses. Johnny is good and Camila is determined, and if that were all there was to the game, they should just take the money and go home. But it’s not, and I feel like they got away with something.
It could be argued that Robin’s supremely negative thinking prior to The Dome did her in, but also she’s just bad at this. And even Mark’s old-school bandana could not overcome the fact that Johnny was actually willing to compound fracture his arm. So then we get a Mark Long retrospective, and wow, 17 seasons just went by like that, huh?
The kids, as we’ve been clued in about, are going to Iceland! Which means the corporate gear sponsor gets to supply a ton of arctic ninja wear, which is really pretty awesome.
They all go to a bar and drink glowy green shots, and then come home and say nice things to each other, and they don’t vomit but I do. Diem yaps about pulling her weight. Then there’s lots of slo-mo and footage of people putting on layers and layers of gear. And pretty exteriors and temperatures below zero.
The Final is in 7 parts. There’s a campout on a glacier, in which the leaders at that point get heat lamps and air mattresses, while the losing-by-one-second team gets yoga mats and their chattering teeth.
Part One is the dogsled race, which I kind of wish we’d seen more of. The dogs are scared of CT, so they run really fast. It looked like one of Emily and Ty’s dogs had something in his paw, or maybe he just likes to skip. CT and Diem lead by about 10 seconds. Part Two is to run through freezing water with pieces of ice floating in it, touch a buoy, run back, and rub on your half-naked partner under a blanket out of pure necessity. The last part isn’t timed. CT and Diem retain their lead. She still sucks, though. Camila worries – she’s never done this, but she’s seen people die from it – in movies!
No one loses any digits. CT and Diem (first place so far) get the deluxe tent, which is still on an iceberg, however; Emily and Ty (last) get the very crappiest; and Johnny and Camila have a small heat lamp or something.
So, there are 5 more opportunities for Diem to screw up! Tune in next week!

I am kind of rooting for Emily and Ty to win. I would root for CT but then that means I would have to root for Diem as well … and I just can’t make myself do that.
I think that Ecto-cooler shot was absinthe. They are out of the States and all, AND they were calm and being nice to each other. Just a theory.
Team Tymly all the way! I love to root for the underdog! Plus they have heart. Heaven help those on the next Challenge if those two come in third. That would make for some good dome payback drama!
Gypsy! You’re back! I missed you
I totally agree with you on the Absinthe–they’d probably get the real stuff in Iceland, so “Hell yeah!” I say!
Now that my faves are gone, I’m shifting back to CT & Diem–I think there’s just something about that Baahston accent & blue eyes that keep me comin’ back. Tymily can have the 2nd spot–just so long as Team Banilla trails far far behind…
Hey jerzgrrrrl! It good to be back, and thank you very much! (Had a supah serious situation at work so I had to put the Gasm on the back burner)
Hell yea to the Hell yea power on Absinthe!
I know just what you mean. It’s no secrect that if they could clone CT and I’d buy one but, Diem has turned into such a whiny whiny little girl that it makes me want to puke. What happened to her? Though, I did think it was so cute when CT hugged Diem like a little kid when they won’t the jetwash challenge. To me, that seemed like genuine emmotion coming from him. He’s a real boy!
So far CT is playing the game very well, and I can’t help but want him to win but I know that twat gf he has will just reap the benefits of the money since she is Lucifer incarnite. GOOD GAWD does that twit irk the shit out of me. So, that’s why I vote Tymily first. CT & Diem second and that dumb bitch Bananas last. I am really starting to hate the sound of Camilla’s voice too. I think Bananas makes her ugly as a person by association.
Speaking of…let’s talk about this. HOW THE HELL did Bananas beat Mark? I just can’t concieve the thought. I wonder if, and I know this is REALITY TV but, I wonder if there wasn’t a little foolery going on in the dome that fateful night. You know; for ratings, plot twist and what not’s sake. I mean Robin would NEVER finish a final in Iceland and Mark’s (though I heart him so) arthritis would kick in, in those artic temps. So, if you look at it; the best TV would be if Bananas and Camilla won the dome and went to Iceland.
I could be wrong but I’ll venture a guess that all three teams finish the entire Final Challenge making it more suspenseful than if Mark and Robin dropped out at check point two.
CT and Bananas are on some spring break tour with TJ Lavin promoting his product, Forgiven. So who knows, that could move could play out a couple ways: CT and Bananas are 1 and 2 or Tymyly won and the other guys need the tour money. Who knows?
I DO like that this final really puts the screws to the Challengers. For some sick reason it makes me happy that they have to endure the cold and dark of Iceland for once instead of the lush accomodations of some tropical country. Is that so wrong? If so, oh well, tough shit.
And, normally I can’t stand a Boston accent and have worked long and hard at practicing my non-regional diction since I did spend my formitive years growing up in a New England state but…you do have a point. Those baby blues and the accent/raspy voice are HOTT. So are the muscles. So is he.
LOL Team Banilla! Flove that.
PS- I go on vacation at 5 today…sorry for the War & Peace sized entry.
