Stars Earn Stripes

Uncle David,

I am loving Eva Torres she rocks as an Amazon Warrior Queen.

Too short for an Amazon Warrior Queen, but I'll go along with Goddess! :winkgrin

Goddess works.

Eva does rock. She's got me rooting for her. I like the others so I'd be happy for any of them but I think it would be awesome for her to win. Nick seems the most whiny but not hateful, and since they're doing this for charity I wouldn't even care if he won. I have my doubts that's possible, but it would be fine.

Sad to see Laila go. She makes me happy watching her. Her smile lights up her whole face. I am happy her teammate made it home in time for his baby's birth. I think she was content to go home then so he could go home, and she had won some money for her charity.

Remember folks the finale is Labor Day and will be 2 hours starting at 8pm.

I watched the first and last of this series. I watched the first one to make fun of it, but then I saw how respectfully they treated it and that all of the money was going to veteran or law enforcement charities and I thought it was okay. I think the people who have a problem with it probably haven't seen it because they constantly talk about how it has given them even more respect for our troops and other public servants who put themselves in danger for our benefit.

Okay, now on to the snark - does it seem to anyone else that Eve's soldier guy has a little bit of a crush? He finds every excuse to hug her! Lol! I mean, you can't blame the guy - she is amazingly beautiful!

OK for the finale is two episodes back to back.

Right after last week's mission there is a shoot out with all of the celebrities. The winner gets to pick who they partner with on the next mission and the last one to finish goes home leaving 4 teams to partner into two squads. Eve wins. Nick Lachey comes in last and is eliminated.

Part 1 - Mission: Lifelock
Part 2 - Mission: Harbor Demolition

I agree about Eve's soldier, but I'm not sure it was just one-sided!

I loved that Eve won since her team had come in first in every single challenge, and she had several different teams paired with her. Dean was smart to pick her for that penultimate challenge.

It was so very cool to listen to the respect for the soldiers, but also the soldier's respect for their partners. I liked how much money they gave to the charities. It was a good summer show and I hope it comes back next year.

Congrats to Eve I have been a fan of hers since she joined WWE wrestling!

I was surpised that Dean picked Eve instead of Todd Palin. I was thinking that Todd did so well during the first challenge and was a good shot that Dean would stack the odds by having a men vs women senario. Still I do like how Eve and Grady work together. I was surprised how put out Picabo was because she was not picked first.
