Survivor fans ready?

Chrissy thinks she's in a secure place. Yawa thinks they're in a secure place. Ben is still leery of the Cole/Jessica relationship, though. Levu is a split tribe, broken spirits as well. They're out of food and suffering. 

And then we're right into today's ... drop your buffs! They're thrilled. They're all hungry and know this is the pivotal point for the game.

They get purple buffs and know food will come. Joe thinks he's in a great place with his hidden idol.

Uh-oh. No feast? Nope. Jeff says they have something better -- it's Outback Steakhouse (hmm ... they also do Big Brother) feast. Chrissy catches onto Joe right away. Jessica is already scheming about building up alliance numbers. Ben wants his alliance with Chrissy being on the down low. He thinks they can look forward to blindsides and tears.

They have all kinds of new tools to build a new shelter. Cole can't see any clues for another idol. But they are right nearby. Ryan gets back with his buddy Devon. He thinks an alliance with them, Lauren and Chrissy would be perfect.

Lauren isn't keen on the idea. She rats out Devon's proposal to Dr. Mike. Mike expects a war as the lines are being drawn in the sand. Devon would like to take out either Cole or Joe. I actually think they're fairly good targets. Ben still isn't sure he can trust Cole. Cole is still alienating his buddies with the exception of Jessica. Mike is a bit perturbed that Ben is thinking Cole of their Alliance of Yawa Five should go. Mike warns Cole. Oh my.

It's time for the first individual immunity challenge of the season. Stand on a narrow beam while spinning a ball in trap -- like a centrifugal force round one. They have to move down the beam which narrows as time goes on. Ryan was out almost immediately. Mike is out. 

Jessica is out. Ben is out. Whoa -- they're starting to drop like flies! Four remain. Desi, Cole, Chrissy and Ashley remain. Cole out. Chrissy out. Ashley out.

Desi wins Immunity!

Cole wants to mend fences with Ben. Ben acts receptive, but tells us differently in confessional. He tells us that if he tactically needs to work with Cole, he will. Cole talks to Joe and spills the beans. Joe will use the idol if he feels he needs it. Yipes! The Healers are going to target Chrissy because she's smart. They don't know if Ben's with them or not. Lauren wants Ben on board, but he wants Cole out.

Others are thinking of either Joe or Cole, or forcing Joe to play an idol (which they think he has). Ulp. Now Jessica's name is on the list. 

We're having many possibilities thrown at us. At least Tribal Council won't be predictable! And, now it starts ... 

No fisticuffs, but lots of talk of trust and alliances via the original and secondary tribes. Joe is irking me. Maybe he'll irk them enough, too. Joe gets up and tells them he has another idol. Now Cole is worried because he thought Joe might be a target. Ben says that battle lines have been drawn and they'll find out who is with whom.

It's time to vote. 

Joe plays his idol for himself.

The tally:
Chrissy, Jessica, Chrissy, Jessica, Chrissy, Jessica, Chrissy, Jessica, Chrissy, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.

Phew! I want Chrissy to stay. But, as a game observer, I don't know if Jessica would be the best to send packing right now. But they sent her packing anyway.

monty924 said...

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Monty! I Like it they merged. Hopefully Ryan can survive and everyone can eat!

monty924 said...

Hey Homie and tbc

monty924 said...

Love the avi, Ed :))

Ed in Ohio said...

Yea Monty Bucks let me down but not out. Gettin' in the holiday spirit now!

monty924 said...

Now that's a feast, but they'll all be sick after...

monty924 said...

Mmmm, now I could take a Gold Coast Rita right now.

Yeah, Ed. How utterly depressing was that game. :(((

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie; and thank you for hosting us. It's greatly appreciated.

Hi SueGee, Mouse, Monty, Glen, Ed, and tbc.

Well, Cole is thrilled, I bet!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hello Penny!

monty924 said...

Hey Penny

Anonymous said...

Hi, Penny!

SueGee said...

Hey Penny!

Anonymouse said...

Oops. Bye Ryan

Nickelpeed said...

If Joe finds the idol again, I'll scream! LOL

monty924 said...

Joe still has another idol, doesn't he?

Nickelpeed said...

I'm so worried about Ryan.

Ed in Ohio said...

Now an Outback commercial!

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, he does, Monty.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny!

Nickelpeed said...

This is not good, them thinking that. Lauren is not to be trusted. And, I'm wondering about Ryan, too. She'll get rid of Devin first. That's not great. I agree with Devin, take out Joe first.

Anonymouse said...

Maybe its devin

Nickelpeed said...

Was Petals working tonight?

Glenn Allen said...

They keep telling each others plans. Cole keeps eating everyones food. I can't believe that no one has found the clue yet that was with the nails.

Anonymouse said...

Joe will

Nickelpeed said...

Well, Cole was on the right track when he was hammering with the nails. LOL. I guess no food makes him too light headed.

Nickelpeed said...

I agree, Mouse, I bet Joe finds it.

monty924 said...

Ryan????

Ed in Ohio said...

Like a vertical hoola hoop

Anonymous said...

Intentionally on Ryan’s part??

Nickelpeed said...

Darn, that means my guy is at risk.

Ed in Ohio said...

Some could use a pedicure

Nickelpeed said...

I think Devin needs to win this or he's out tonight.

Nickelpeed said...

Crap

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, these two women are really good.

Anonymouse said...

Neither of them are in danger anyway.

SueGee said...

Sounds like it is time to take out one of the Alpha males...

Nickelpeed said...

Stop that Jeff. You're putting ideas in people's heads. Dang, he just can't shut up.

monty924 said...

Go Desi

Anonymous said...

Another great competition!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Wow 40 some minutes!

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, I agree SueGee. Take out one of the alpha males.

Which team has more people? Because they will decide, probably.

Glenn Allen said...

I hope Ryan is safe. Jeff kept making fun about how fast that Ryan dropped out. It was a unique new challenge. I wonder if Big Brother will use it at some point!

Nickelpeed said...

IMO, they need to take out Joe or Cole. Joe because he's really good. Cole, because he will eat them out of house and home. I like him, but I can see him taking a lot of the food.

Nickelpeed said...

I know, Glenn. I wanted to slap Jeff.

Nickelpeed said...

I'm wondering if the castaways see the same animals that we see?

Anonymouse said...

Cole that was stupid

Ed in Ohio said...

Loose lips!!.............

Nickelpeed said...

Someone aside from Joe needs to find that clue to get the idol.

Anonymouse said...

Im not surprised that hurt chrissy more than Ryan

Nickelpeed said...

If they want to succeed, they need to start getting out the stronger players.

Wow, Ben and Lauren is in with everyone. Yikes.

Nickelpeed said...

So who do you all think is going home? This is a toss up!!

Anonymous said...

So many haven’t been to tribal!!

Nickelpeed said...

Okay, Ryan, do not talk. You are too analytical. Be smart.

monty924 said...

Cole doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut

Nickelpeed said...

Dear Lord, let it be Joe. LOL

Anonymous said...

What an ass

Nickelpeed said...

My gosh, dang it. This guy is unbelievable. This guy will find the next idol. He's that smart. And, a big mouth.

Ed in Ohio said...

Could be famous last words Cole

Nickelpeed said...

He is tbc. I hope someone gets him as some point. UGH! He's very smart, though. Or I should say very crafty.

I hope the votes aren't all over the place.

Anonymous said...

Oh, that was unexpected...

Nickelpeed said...

Uh oh, the looks on their faces.

Nickelpeed said...

I am so tired of these people targeting the women. Dang it.

Ed in Ohio said...

Didn't see that comin'

Anonymous said...

Me either, Ed!

monty924 said...

Well they flushed his idol so you know he'll be on the look out for another one.

Thanks Jackie!! Everyone have a nice weekend and will see you next week.

Glenn Allen said...

Jessica out and Joe wasted his Idol!

Ed in Ohio said...

G'nite All!

Where'd that cider jug go?

Thanks Jackie!

Happy Veterans Day to all the Vets........'to the lost' Salute!

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you for hosting us, Jackie. Really appreciate it. See everyone next week.

David said...

Thanks Jackie. =)

Everyone have a great week.

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

Anonymous said...

Thank you for hosting the party, Jackie! Always fun!

Have a great week, everyone!!

Judi Sweeney said...

Wow.... Jessica!?! But glad they flushed out one of Joe's idols!

Sharon N said...

Well, my girl is out now, so I'm free to cheer on whoever. Jessica should have known better than to pair up into a 'romance' (of sorts). Some of these people are a bit smarter than they've been on BB. LOL

So far, I don't really have a favorite, but there are a few I'd like to see 'gone.'
