Survivor: Ghost Island - April 11 Blog Party


I will try my best to at least post the major events of the show as it airs this week. I still can't twist around or sit too long with the back surgery. I overdid things a bit today with physical therapy and some errands I had to run.

They've been changing up the tribes much too often this season. Thankfully, they're promising the merge on promos for tonight. Lifeguard Laurie's been keeping up with it all. Here's the latest blog pool standings --

NAVITI (purple)
Chelsea Townsend - David, Merrilee 
Domenick Abbate - Donna in Alabama, Janice 
Donathan Hurley - Becky, Terry is a Texan! 
Libby Vincek - tbc, jennifer, Laurie 

MALOLO (orange) 
Angela Perkins - monty924, Karen JC 
Desiree Afuye - Bizarro22, Karen in California 
Kellyn Bechtold - Glenn Allen, Margo, Delee 
Michael Yerger - Sharon N., Tammy 

YANUYA (green) 
Chris Noble - Petals, Ed in Ohio, ChicMc 
Jenna Bowman - Brian, Judi Sweeney 
Laurel Johnson - PDX Granny, Donna in FL 
Sebastion Noel - Indiana Jane, Shannon, Jackie 
Wendell Holland - Skyriverblue, Jennasmom 

TORCHLESS 
Stephanie Gonzalez 
Jacob Derwin 
Morgan Ricke 
Brendan Shapiro 
Stephanie Johnson 
James Lim
Bradley Kleihege

Let's get this show on the road!

Thirteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight? The tribes got word the merge was on. They all meet up and have the traditional merge feast. 

Chris's new buff holds a clue that he needs to sneak out of camp on a boat at night to get an idol at Ghost Island. It was random that he happened to get it in his buff. Will he be able to get away with the trip?

Dom and Wendell try to get Chris on their side. How'd it work out? Now they plan on targeting Chris because he won't commit to working with them.

Okay, Chris is starting to sneak away. He seems to make it to Ghost Island without drawing attention. He gets JT's idol from Game Changers -- JT left the idol back at camp and got blindsided. It's now only good at the next Tribal Council. Hmm. Now he can gamble to extend it, but he might lose his vote at the next Tribal. He extends it one week and then gets the No Vote. Now he has to sneak back in.

He doesn't get caught. But Dom notices he's sleeping a lot and doesn't like it.

Now a lot of talk about bringing out Dom's idol. The fake one? Both Chris and even more so, Dom, are putting targets on their backs.

The first individual Immunity has them standing on beams balancing a pole on their heads that has a statue on it. They're falling out like flies. Jenna, Donathan, Desiree and Andrea are out. When they move further, Sebastian out. Move further on the beam, Dom out, Michael out, Chris out, Laurel out, Wendell out.

Kellyn, Chelsea and Libby are remaining.

Chelsea out. Libby out. Kellyn wins the first individual Immunity!

Chris talks to everyone except Dom and Wendell about splitting the vote between Dom and Wendell to bring out Dom's idol. 

Meanwhile, Dom and Wendell know Chris is probably skunking them and want Chris out. Wendell tells Dom he has an idol and is willing to use it. They go around talking to everyone except Chris.

Desiree wants to use her group of four to get out Libby while everyone else is focused on Dom, Wendell and Chris. 

In Tribal, Dom parades out his fake idol (claiming it's real) and goes on his soapbox about Chris. Now Wendell interrupts Chris's rebuttal. It's a showdown!  Chris and Dom shine up the targets on their backs quite nicely. Wendell and Dom vote Chris.

The tally ... wait, Dom gets up. He plays his Legacy Advantage. He saves himself with that. 

Chris, Chris, Libby, Libby, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris.

Going home with an idol in his pocket. The curse remains.

Hey Squeeg, Hey Joey Baby.

jennifer said...

Hi all! Hope this posts!!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie and Vincent. Hope your back feels better, Jackie. Thank you for letting us come here. Appreciate it so much.

Hi SueGee and Joe.

Petals said...

Hey Glenn!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals, Glenn and Jennifer.

jennifer said...

Ok great! Had some tech difficulty! Happy to be here!
Jackie, take it easy🤗

Nickelpeed said...

I know Chris is arrogant, but Dominick rubs me the wrong way.

Yes, Chris!!

Petals said...

Hope Chris lays low now. But I think he is accustomed to being the center of attention, the Golden Child. @@

AWESOME!!! YAY CHRIS

Petals said...

Hi Jennifer & Penny!

jennifer said...

I like Chris... but of course I m all in for my girl Libby

Joe in NY said...

That's kind of fun. Sneaking out of camp.

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, Chris, do this! I think if he doesn't find an idol, he's gone tonight. I hope he doesn't go out with an idol.

No Michael!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe and Petals. The Merge should be interesting. Go kelyn.

Petals said...

ugh, he said, "exspecially" 😞

Nickelpeed said...

With Chris doing this, he can't tell anyone. He can't trust Dom or Wendell.

Joe in NY said...

Chris is such an idiot

Nickelpeed said...

There he goes. A little too arrogant. I wish he had taken the piece pipe.

Petals said...

Stick to your guns, Chris!

UGH, he said "swavay"? lol

Glenn Allen said...

hi Penny and Jennifer. The sneaking out of camp should be fun!

Nickelpeed said...

Ooops, Peace Pipe. LOL

jennifer said...

Petals you are in KC??? Me too!!

Joe in NY said...

Please, God, let Chris go home.

SueGee said...

I'm liking all these tricks and secrets this season...

Joe in NY said...

I've lost count, are there 100 idols in play yet?

Glenn Allen said...

I had to go back to my old dosage of my blood pressure medicine. I had an allergic reaction last week. I seem to be doing better now. Jackie I am glad you are doing better.

Joe in NY said...

Chris couldn't sneak out of camp if he was the only one in it. He'll get caught.

Pinky said...

Chris should have told them he was in. Even when he wasn’t.

jennifer said...

Nervous for Chris...

Nickelpeed said...

I think Dom would slice Chris's throat in a flash. And, vice versa. Their start was too much turmoil. All because Chris pulled the lever on the puzzle. Problem was, Des was not even close to solving the puzzle and the other team was closer; and time was almost out.

I hope Chris does not ruin this. He needs to keep quiet about this.

Nickelpeed said...

I am, too, Jennifer.

Don't do it, Chris. You will leave without using it!!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Don't do it, don't do it!!!

Nickelpeed said...

I hope he uses it. Otherwise, I think they will vote him off.

Petals said...

I, for one, am loving the Ghost Island twists. But there are a LOT of advantages to keep track of!

Petals said...

EGO BATTLE!

Joe in NY said...

Dom should give Chris the fake idol as a show of trust. Since Chris believes in it, he'd use it and go home.

Nickelpeed said...

Chris just doesn't know when to shut up. He's got to stop this.

tbc said...

Hi! Phew, I made it...

Petals said...

I agree Pinky, he should've played along, but I do kinda dig that he wasn't phony

Petals said...

TEEEEEB!

Joe in NY said...

Chris is arrogant and somewhat ignorant. I'm not sure how any of those people can stand being around him 24/7. I see him for 10 minutes per week and I want to pull my hair out

Nickelpeed said...

Hi tbc.

No, Joe, I do not want Chris to go home. I'd rather see Dom go. Chris's biggest enemy is himself. He just doesn't know when to shut up. I dated a guy like that. All he did was talk about himself. And, he believed every bit of it.

I have a feeling, if Dom has his way, everyone will send Chris packing. And, that means JT's idol is still cursed.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC! Chris should have stopped with the idol good for 2 Tribal counsels without loosing his vote. Will he have to announce he lost his vote?

Nickelpeed said...

That's all they show of him, though, Joe. That's why I do not think he makes it to the end.

Nickelpeed said...

I do not think Chris will do well in this. I do like Chris, but I'm rooting for Angela. I think she's the older one and from Cincinnati.

Petals said...

girls usually do well at this,right?

That Af Am chick will do well

tbc said...

That looks really hard!!

Petals said...

the other AfAm

Petals said...

well, so much for the chicks doin well

Petals said...

C'Mon CHRIS!

Joe in NY said...

I don't know how they are doing it with that wind.

SueGee said...

Its going to be all about individual immunity from now on...

jennifer said...

I could do this! Nope nvm!! Hahaha

Petals said...

Bash OUT
Wow, good save for Dom w/the wasp

Nickelpeed said...

I'm rooting for Chris and Angela

Petals said...

YAY

Petals said...

which one is angela

Michael is my fave, then Chris, then Wendall

Petals said...

chicks. Yeah.

jennifer said...

LIBBY!

tbc said...

Wow

Nickelpeed said...

Dang. The women are the strong ones in this.

Joe in NY said...

How is her toenail polish not all chipped at this point?

jennifer said...

Oh noooooo

tbc said...

Oh, damn, Libby dropped!!

Glenn Allen said...

Kellyn wins. My pool girl is safe.

Petals said...

Joe - Some chicks do gel now, not polish. Not many color choices, but lasts forever. It's more damaging to the nails, tho
I don't care for gel; traditional polish is fine for me (altho I usually opt for an American mani)

Nickelpeed said...

Is Jackie with us tonight? How's your back feeling? After you all you did today, I'm not surprised it hurts. Poor you!

Petals said...

Happy Pet Day everyone. I think we are all animal people? 🐾🐈🐕🐎🐟🐢🦎

Nickelpeed said...

I definitely am Petals.

SueGee said...

Spent the morning with my girl Lucy at the Vet. Doing pretty good for being 15 years old this month!! Sure hates to get into the carrier and go to the Vet!

tbc said...

Aww. Happy pet day. <——— my two doggies

Petals said...

15!! wow! My kids get groomed Saturday, long overdue! Right now they look like fuzzy monkeys!

Petals said...

Hello to Teebs babies!

Joe - how are your hairy kids doing?

Nickelpeed said...

This vote really sucks for Chris. And, he talks to everyone. He is so, so clueless. You watch, he won't bring the idol; or won't play it; and he'll be blindsided. Dom and Wendell do the same thing as Chris.

tbc said...

Aww. 15!? Wow

Petals said...

noooooooooo! Not Chris, my cream-cheese cute pool boy

Petals said...

how cool would it be to have a chick leave, not Chris/Dom? UPSET! BLINDSIDE! love it

jennifer said...

Get Dom out! This is a interesting conversation!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Petals LOL. I wish they would swallow the bullet and be friends. They could go far if they'd work together. They just hate each other. Since Chris does not have a vote, that is a disadvantage for him.

Nickelpeed said...

I mean bite the bullet. LOLOLOL

Nickelpeed said...

Okay, everyone. What do you think will happen? Dom, Wendell, Chris or Libby?

Glenn Allen said...

Will Dom use his legacy advantage with the 13 left instead of at 6? it would be crazy if Wendal and Chris and Dom all used advantages tonight. When does Chris have to say that he lost his vote/

Nickelpeed said...

I don't think he has to tell anyone, Glenn. He could walk up there and pretend.

Jackie S. said...

Penny - I'm here, have been updating the blog. Tired and a bit sore tonight.

Petals said...

Swallow the bullet - is that a euphemism? LOL

Dom strikes first!

Nickelpeed said...

I hope you feel better, Jackie. You did a lot today.

tbc said...

Probst is saying, stop calling me Jeffrey...

Petals said...

Hi Jackie!
Sending Feel-Good wishes for you! *scritcha* to Vincent, your main man.

Petals said...

Shhhhh Chris!

Nickelpeed said...

Oh gosh, here we go. I wish Chris knew it was a fake idol.

Nickelpeed said...

There it is. Chris is leaving. UGH! Chris stop it!!

jennifer said...

Oh my.... what will happen!?!?

tbc said...

Jackie, I hope you are feeling better... ❤️

Petals said...

The heavy-hitters go at it, so all the boring nobodies are left? NOOO


CHRIS - SHUT UP!

*sending a virtual ball gag to my pool dude*

Nickelpeed said...

Foolish, foolish boy. Dang.

Petals said...

Teeb, Probst is thinking, "yes, finally some action to make this season watch-worthy"!

(numbers are down)

Petals said...

Not a good move Dom.

Petals said...

PLAY the IDOL!

Nickelpeed said...

I can't stand him. Grrrr. Use your idol, Chris.

tbc said...

Yes, a rivalry will help numbers... lol

Petals said...

No longer like Wendall. BYE WENDALL(soon, I hope)

Nickelpeed said...

Chris, use the idol or you'll go home!!

jennifer said...

Omg omg omg!

jennifer said...

Chris!

Nickelpeed said...

Play the idol, Chris!!!

Petals said...

oh noooooooooooooooooooo

Nickelpeed said...

Oh no. Dang it. He'll still have the curse.

jennifer said...

Libby?!? How did she get in this?

Joe in NY said...

Moron....look at his face.

Nickelpeed said...

Dang it. There he goes. I'm sad.

Petals said...

WHY DIDN'T HE PLAY HIS IDOL??????

tbc said...

Going home with an idol!

jennifer said...

Why didn’t Chris use the idol???

jennifer said...

But, omg, how did Libby get in this?!?

Glenn Allen said...

Penny you were right about Chris pretending with the no vote. wendal going off on Chris. Chris goes out with JT's Idol. the curse continues.

Nickelpeed said...

I wonder how he feels after watching this. You watch, though. Dom and Wendell will find someone else to go after.

Petals said...

me too penny! what just happened??

WHY DID HE NOT PLAY THE IDOL

Petals said...

Glenn - how did he NOT play it? He is JT Jr! Left with an idol! That is so infuriating

Nickelpeed said...

I'm sad I won't be here next week. Have to work. I took tonight off. I wondered if it was Chris. He's not on twitter; and Dom is very upbeat on Twitter.

David said...

Thanks Jackie =)

Hope your road to recovery is speedy and complete.

Everyone have a great week.

Nickelpeed said...

I think Chris truly believed people liked him. He was clueless. I follow him on Instagram. He's actually pretty humble now.

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you Jackie. I hope you feel better. Night everyone.

Petals said...

I don't follow Survivor peep on Twit, except for Russell. I have my longtime love Ozzy on IG, tho.

Oh no! The eating animals is BACK!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, XOXOXOX
Thank you Jackie!

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by. I need to go collapse now.

jennifer said...

So sad for Chris, see y’all next week🤗

Petals said...

Happy Collapsing, Jackie.

Nickelpeed said...

I feel bad for Chris not getting to see his family. At least he'll be able to eat, though. If Dom remains powerful, he'll win this game. I hope not, though.

Auntie Leigh said...

Just saw the show and love this episode. sorry about your pool guy, Petals, but really "suave"?? I thought dom did great even tho he is not likeable at all either. I think they would be smart to vote out Libby before she teams up with one of the guys...she darn near won that challenge and is more of a threat than Chris or Dom with ever be.
sorry you are still struggling Jackie. Vincent, help her out more!
