Survivor 35: Heroes-Healers-Hustlers - Season Premiere Blog Party


What? Only an hour show for the season premiere? What's up with that?

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging the action the best I can as I'm not familiar with this group of castaways yet. Everyone is welcome to join in on the party in the comments area!

Due to the recent season of Big Brother, I'm laying down some ground rules for comments. Hopefully we won't see it happening here with this show and castaways with more success in life and labors. Some of these are rules we've had all along, but may need a reminder --
  • Keep comments to a PG rating. Do not quote from other sites that don't follow that rule. All asterisks if you feel you must.
  • Absolutely no hate speech which includes derogatory comments and slang.
  • While the castaways are fair game for commenting on as they are in the public eye, no comments on physical characteristics which they might not be able to control. 
  • No nicknames, please. When posting about a castaway, real name. It just makes things confusing. Thank you.
  • No comments directed at "fans" of castaways you might not like. Say why you don't care for said castaway, but leave the "fans" of him or her out of it. Commenters are free to like whomever they choose without feeling they themselves are the target of other comments.
  • If someone trolls the comments, please do NOT reply to them. I will remove the troll comments and replies give me more work to do!
  • Remember ... this is a TELEVISION SHOW. It's not your life!
For those who might have missed it -- the blog pool match-ups are in this post right here. Starting next week I'll be including the updated list each week in the blog party post. Lifeguard Laurie is in charge and she rocks!

Survivor fans ready? 

Now, you can bet Jeff Probst didn't climb up that peak! He's telling the new castaways about the Heroes, Healers and Hustlers breakdown. They do the old boat is loaded with supplies, get what you can. Each tribe has a burning urn on their beach. First tribe to raise one of their members to light a torch gets fire. Second gets a flint. 

Ohhh ... Jersey boy Ryan from Hustlers finds a secret advantage clue as they are getting the supplies. 

Healers got fire, Heroes flint. 

Healer Joe wants to manipulate people. There's also a bit of a rift on the Heroes tribe. Already! 

Whoa! Ryan's clue is actually a super idol! It can be used AFTER the voting. It has to be used in the first tribal council. If his tribe doesn't go to council, he must anonymously pass it on to someone on the losing tribe.

Healer Joe is already making more waves. While, yeah, Mike went looking for an idol. But who is Joe to call him out on it on the first day? 

Oh, geez. Ryan tells Devon that he found the clue and the super idol. An alliance is formed ... kind of early, methinks. 

Alan on Heroes is the Healer Joe of his tribe. He thinks two (JP and Ashley) are a power couple already and is accusing them of having an idol. 

First Immunity Challenge - pull a cart up a doohickey, ride it down, table mazes, another mazing challenge. First two tribes win Immunity. Hustlers are also playing for fire. Jeff tells them tie votes are back in this season.

Healers win first Immunity! Hustlers win Immunity! It will be the Heroes going to Tribal Council. Uh-oh. Chrissy from Heroes (my local castaway) almost collapses. That might hurt her chance to survive. But, then again, Ryan has to give his super idol to someone. Hmm.

Alan is paranoid. As he should be with his behavior so far. It looks like the consensus might be Ashley. Chrissy and Katrina have also been mentioned. Hmm. I guess Alan shouldn't be paranoid? Yay! Chrissy is the recipient of Ryan's idol!  

Tribal Council time! Chrissy tells Jeff she didn't feel like she belonged in the tribe. She thinks the Power Four -- everyone but Katrina and herself -- will run the show. They talk about Alan strip searching JP for an idol. Katrina and Chrissy are the two "older women" on the tribe. Ben seems to speak with logic, but Alan keeps piping in. 

Remember -- the super idol is played after the votes are read.

The tally:
Katrina, Ashley, Katrina, Katrina, ... Katrina out.

Chrissy does NOT save her. And, there goes the only chance to use that super idol. Ashley apparently would have gone out in Katrina's place had she used it, at least I think that's how it works. I might be wrong.

I've had enough of BB19 people. Let's talk Survivor.

Sharon N said...

~~~SPLASH~~~

Hi, nice to see so many here for Survivor!!
PS: the Autumn water is starting to get too cold for swimming!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi SueGee, Petals, Glenn and Kristen.

SueGee said...

I agree Jackie! The less I hear about them the better!!

Petals said...

Oh man...there's my team - the backward Hustlers. LOL Going backwards.

Nickelpeed said...

I have the guy who picked up the advantage. Kind of creepy looking. LOL

SueGee said...

Hi to Sharon. The pool is heated and indoors LOL

Petals said...

wow - amazing shot of that whale!

Nickelpeed said...

I'm on the Hustler tribe, too Petals.

Boy, that Hero's tribe has big men.

Nickelpeed said...

I know, Petals, that was beautiful, wasn't it?

Nickelpeed said...

He shouldn't be thinking of getting rid of them yet. Too early.

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Everyone! Survivor is Back!

Thanks Jackie & Laurie.

Petals Conrgrats on your BB Josh win ^5

Nickelpeed said...

Let's see how well these Hustlers work together. They're my tribe, so they'd better work together! Love that Praying Mantis!

SueGee said...

Howdy Ed!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Squeegee!

Nickelpeed said...

He probably shouldn't have done that. As long as nobody sees him. He's my pool guy, YES!!

Petals said...

too much strategizing, too soon. Never works, kids!

My pool dude will burst in to flames soon - he is TOO WHITE! He needs SPF 100

Petals said...

I like little BellHop guy, glad he got an advantage. (sorry, Jax, I forgot his name)

SueGee said...

I had to make a cheat sheet to keep track of who was who on that other show (that will not be mentioned) and I might have to make one for this too, just for the first couple weeks.

SueGee said...

The Super Idol sound neat!! Hope someone can use it!

Anonymous said...

Hi everyone!! Brought some Pinot Grigio with me! Have fun.

David said...

Hello everyone. =)

Glad to have survivor on again. And....my pool pick is also on the Hustlers team, Devon. I had to look twice because I though it was a girl with that name. lol

Nickelpeed said...

Petals, he's my pool guy. I think his name is Ryan Ulich?

Petals said...

WOw - I don't like Joe. Wow. Accusing him like that?

Petals said...

cool, Penny!

Nickelpeed said...

Boy, all of them being so suspect right off the bat. Wow.

Nickelpeed said...

Oh man, he should not have told him that. Hopefully, he won't go back to tell everyone.

Ed in Ohio said...

Not much early 'bonding' with some of them. Coming out aggressive.

Petals said...

I like little Ryan!

Nickelpeed said...

Wow. So paranoid. These people are on the edge.

Petals said...

I dunno if I can't take another show with this kind of aggression. *smh*

Nickelpeed said...

LOLOLOL That is crazy.

Petals said...

Get HIM OUTTA THERE!!!!!! Bye!

Petals said...

wow. This is.. disgusting.

Sharon N said...

My pool girl is Healer/Jessica.
Here's hoping I will be able to cheer for this Survivor.

SueGee said...

Is the aggression from the millennials again?

Ed in Ohio said...

Well my pool guy Alan is freaking out! :-0 Strip search? Really!

Judi Sweeney said...

Yippee! Here we go Survivor time!!!

Hi everyone!

Anonymous said...

Ed, waaay over the top!! Wow, strip search??

Petals said...

Sue - the ex-football dude is having a psychotic break. He can't go soon enough for me.

Nickelpeed said...

This challenge looks like it would be fun. Fun, fun ride!!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Yep tbc, Not a good start for my pool hopes!

Nickelpeed said...

My pool guy is Ryan, the little guy with the Hustlers. He has the advantage. Hopefully, he'll do well.

Petals said...

I like your lil guy, Penny. I hope he made a good decision with that big goofy dude.

monty924 said...

Hi everyone... Homie :(( Looks like we got the nut job paranoid guy this season!!

SueGee said...

Howdy Monty! Seems like lots of nut jobs this season!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Homie! Yea looks like we're in trouble already!

Petals said...

MONTY!!!! (I am looking at new places to live this wknd!)

Nickelpeed said...

Come on Hustlers. Never thought I would be rooting for Hustlers. LOL

Okay, now come on Hustlers....get next.

Petals said...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Get rid of crazy dude!

Nickelpeed said...

Now I wonder if they'll get rid of the NFL guy, since he's so aggressive. They'll be hurt if they get rid of him, though.

Petals said...

oh dang! Now she will be the target, not aggressive dude.

monty924 said...

Good news, Petals!!

Why does it seem like I always get the dud in the group, lol. Oh well, Ed if we go home tonight we get a second chance, LOL!

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, so it's not something he can keep for awhile? Dang. Who should he give it too? Uhmmmm.

Ed in Ohio said...

Sounds good to me Monty, but I got a feelin' we'll be stuck with him a little longer.

More 'drama' LOL

David said...

Yes, all crazy dudes must have their torch snuffed. Lets see if they have more brains than people on that other show. lol

Nickelpeed said...

I know the guy is a little crazy, but he's big. I wouldn't get rid of the biggest guy in the group. Now, if he keeps up the craziness later on, then get rid of him.

Glenn Allen said...

I am glad I have Ryan the Bellhop. I wonder who he will give his Idol to. Nicklepeed at least we are not the first ones out.

monty924 said...

Penny, I thought that too about the Hustlers tag until Jeff explained it. Kind of like how Pete Rose got his nickname. Charlie Hustle!!

Anonymous said...

Love this group of people here at Jackie's blog. Thanks, Jackie!!

SueGee said...

Yeah, but Pete Rose later gave it a different meaning LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I thought the bellhop was a little creepy at first, but he might do well. Yep, Charlie Hustle.

Petals said...

Oh, beautiful whale again!

Jackie - wouldn't you love to be able to photograph on these locations?

SueGee said...

Is Chrissy ok?? She is my pool person! I might be getting the boot the first episode (boo)

Petals said...

Alan is NOT cut-out for this game, sorry.

monty924 said...

Now, Squeegee, I knew someone would bring that up, but that has nothing to do with how he played. ;-)

:)))

Petals said...

Ryan might give his immunity to Chrissy, since she got sick; he wanted to give it to an underdog.

Ed in Ohio said...

Super Idol!!!!!

Nickelpeed said...

I like this cowboy. He thinks clearly. You have to think strength early on, then target the crazies. I could be wrong, though. WOWOWOWOWOW. He gave it to the perfect person. Don't put it on!!! She can only use it tonight?

Petals said...

Oh, I love Pete Rose. I think his punishment was ridiculous. OJ is free, but Pete is still banned?

Glenn Allen said...

Petals hopefully the Hustlers can survive awhile. Alan is going crazy still. I am glad Christy got the Superidol.

Nickelpeed said...

The Bellhop probably figured one of the older women would be targeted and that's why she got it. The first people I thought of were the older women.

Petals said...

Glen, I hope Hustlers can find harmony and last a while.

monty924 said...

Yep, Petals!! Now back to Survivor... sorry for going off topic there! :))

SueGee said...

A conversation for another night Monty... :o)

Petals said...

(yeah, sorry for OT)

Nickelpeed said...

I agree, wholeheartedly, Petals. I have been a Pete Rose fan since I was little. Was also a Johnny Bench fan, too. However, he's not a very nice man. Not fan friendly at all. I've met some who do like him, but I asked them if they were paying to see him. LOL

monty924 said...

**Mwah**, Squeegee :)))

SueGee said...

I grew up with Ernie Banks as my hero...enough said

Nickelpeed said...

Ooops, sorry. I should have not gotten off topic. Sorry Jackie.

Anonymous said...

ONG, my pool pick might be out first!

SueGee said...

Now, if Chrissy doesn't need the idol - what happens to it?

Kristen from Ohio said...

I think my guys in trouble, J.P.

monty924 said...

Nickelpeed said...

I have to laugh. Alan thought it was the two young ones, but wait until Chrissy brings out her idol. HA!

How can you be so suspicious of your group? It's too early. He'll be a target forever, now.

monty924 said...

Sorry for this... I'll get back on topic, I promise. I've met him Penny and he was nothing but nice to us. We were having breakfast two tables away from him in Covington, KY just across the river from the stadium. My nephew also got to meet him at a baseball camp in Florida when he played little league/travel league ball. He loved him too and got his picture taken with him (no charge).

Nickelpeed said...

I hope it's not J.P.

Anonymous said...

How come Katrina's hair looks perfect?

SueGee said...

It is an after-the-vote idol so it may not appear

monty924 said...

Why not use it????

Nickelpeed said...

That's fantastic, Monty. He's been at the Dayton Dragons and wasn't so nice. He's still one of my favorite ballplayers. Loved him since I was a little girl.

Now what happens to the idol?

monty924 said...

Probable to keep a target off her back.

Glenn Allen said...

I am a huge Reds fan. I got to meet Ken Griffey Sr, Why did Chrissy not use her Idol? Now she will be the next one on the block.

Petals said...

Cool, re Pete!

Ed in Ohio said...

Well Monty we're still afloat. Not sure that's a good thing though?!

SueGee said...

I think if she used the idol for someone else they would have had her #1 for the next vote for sure

Nickelpeed said...

Jackie, thank you so much for hosting us. Really appreciate it. Give Vincent a scritch for me.

See everyone next week. Can't wait. SO glad Survivor is back!

Monty, don't get me wrong, I've heard great things about Johnny Bench, too. He's such a huge guy. Those hands!!!

Kristen from Ohio said...

That hour went fast.

SueGee said...

Night everyone!! See you next week!

David said...

Thanks Jackie =)

Everyone have a great week.

monty924 said...

Damn, she even voted for her. I have a feeling this tribe is going to be a nail biter to watch this season.

Thanks Jackie!! Everyone, have a great rest of the week and weekend!

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

Ed in Ohio said...

Good Nite All!

Thanks Jackie!

Nickelpeed said...

Now that it's over....One of the nicest Reds was Sean Casey. What a wonderful person. He's very friendly; and gives a lot of his time to humanitarian events. Eric Davis is very friendly, too. Barry Larking is very shy, but very respectful to the fans. Ken Griffey, Sr., is fantastic. Love the Reds, always have, even though I'm from NY. I did love the earlier Yankees, Dent, Munson, and Pinella. But, have basically followed the Reds for decades.

Petals said...

wow. Interesting vote.

Thank you Jackie!!! Love seeing everyone! ♥♥♥

Cheryl in NC said...

Hi and goodnight all. Had to be lurking tonight..in and out..Hope I can join the party next week!

Kristen from Ohio said...

I think she didn't use it to show the others she is loyal to them.

Petals said...

*waving to CHeryl!*

monty924 said...

Ah, Penny. Sean Casey was and still is one of our favorite players ever. You're right... he is an awesome human being. The Mayor!!! We even named our parakeet Casey after him. Joey, our Boston is named after Joey Votto. :)))

monty924 said...

* it was Joey or Brutus and he just didn't look like a Brutus at eight weeks old, lol!!

David said...

Chrissy also voted for Katrina to leave so yea, I don't think she wanted to save her. She now has a worthless idol that she may be able to use in the future to bluff her way farther in the game. No need to make a fake one.

monty924 said...

True David... only if what's his name who gave it to her isn't around when she needs to use it

Nickelpeed said...

Monty, I LOVE Joey Votto. He is a FANTASTIC guy. He still visits his adoptive family in Centerville. They are very, very close. He's always been great to fans. He never forgets his start at the Dragons. Just an all around great guy. Very humble; and grateful for everybody who helped him get there. Love the guy.

Kelly said...

WOW.. what happened over BB season that the blog had to get all .. grade school PC?

Auntie Leigh said...

I think Crissy could have gotten a lot more use out of that idol if she had talked to the other older lady and at tribal she could have addressed her team about the paranoid NFL guy, then, waited for the vote and maybe gotten him out. Even tho he is big, he is too psycho to be of value, IMO. I too, like the bellhop but without some other advantage I think his tribe will dump him for looking so skinny and weak. But those little ones can blossom and surprise us, like Cochran and Kai. If they can just make it past first impressions.
Nice to see all the usual suspects here, Petals, Nickelpeed, Monty, tbs, Jackie of course and I am wondering if Vincent ever has a comment? I bet her does. Cats are very perceptive, and can be quite intolerant of BS.
