John

Survivor fans ready? Eleven are left. Who will be voted out tonight?


Davie is gleeful that his move eliminated the Mayor of Slamtown. He also got John's jacket somehow.

Alliances seem to be falling apart. Dan is worried that Kara is upset that he saved Angelina. Kara tells us he's too emotional and that he's the anchor that's bringing her game down. 

Reward has them playing for a burger bar with beer and soft drinks. Two teams. One person, odd man/woman out, will not play. Nor will they get reward. Carl is the one out. 

It's obstacles, lift a person to untie a bag of tiles, more obstacles, combination lock, then a snake puzzle. 

Alec, Dan, Davie, Mike and Kara win Reward. (Teams were a random pick.)

Back at camp, Gabby and Alison bond a bit more. At Reward, they're talking Goliath strong and getting Christian out. But Kara thinks it would help her game to get Dan out. She tells Alec and Alison that Dan has another idol. 

Thinking there is another hidden idol back at camp, Davie and the Davids get up early and go searching. They end up giving up ... except for Christian. He goes about it methodically. And ... he's got one! He says at some point, he'll have to tell the Davids because he needs their help -- he knows he's a target.

Immunity Challenge time! Obstacles, retrieve balls -- one at a time and there are three, balance ball on a plate while walking on a teeter-totter, get balls in hole at end table puzzle doohickey.

ALEC wins Immunity!

Kara wants Dan out. Dan wants Christian out. Kara thinks, because Dan has an idol, they need to split the votes. Alison thinks she should probably stick with her Goliath alliance. Alec, Dan and Alison think that Christian is the best one to get out. Now Kara is worried about putting her own game in jeopardy by going for a Dan vote.

Meanwhile, Christian and the other Davids notice that the Goliaths are all hanging out together. Nick tells them he has a secret advantage to steal a vote. Christian tells them about his idol. Carl tells them he has a nullify an idol advantage. They just have to use the right tools and think this out thoroughly.

And, they're off walking to Tribal ...

So, it starts. Jeff starts out by asking Alison what impact last week's Tribal had on them. Dan affirms Jeff's question about the war being on again -- David and Goliath. Mike talks of the importance of not being the first to flip and betray the tribe. Lots of talk about trust or the lack thereof. To me, it sounds like the Davids are up to something.

Nick pulls out his steal a vote from another person advantage. He's going to steal Alison's vote. Now he has two votes for himself. She surprised and not happy.

Whispering between Kara and Dan. Will he use his idol?

Dan uses his second idol in the game to save himself.

The tally:
WHOA! The idol nullifier is in play and Carl played it against Dan!

Christian, Christian, Christian, Angelina, Angelina, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.

It worked! Carl is thrilled. Goliath members are shocked.

Hi everyone! Thank you, Jackie and Vincent for giving a place to talk Survivor!! I hope these guys won't rub it in the others faces. Dan seems like one who would.

We're doing Thanksgiving stuff, but I am taking a break! LOL

Jackie S. said...

Everybody ready for tomorrow?

jennifer said...

I have the corn and rolls! My family really doesn’t trust me to do much more lol

monty924 said...

Hi Penny! I never think I'm ready the night before Thanksgiving, Jackie! :))

Nickelpeed said...

I've always thought this was too in your face. If I were those who don't get to celebrate, I would go off somewhere to talk. Make the others think. LOL

jennifer said...

The burgers look amazing

jennifer said...

I always like these types of rewards, of course the food is amazing, but they really get into each other’s heads.. winners and losers!

monty924 said...

I cook the whole meal minus the pies. Our nephew brings those :))

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny. I will be going to my Brothers house tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

Sharon N said...

Just popping in for a bit to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Survivor doesn't start in this area for another 1/2 hr, so I'm off to finish making the Pumpkin pies (mom's recipe). My sister's favorite so I always have to make 1 extra... just for her!! lol

jennifer said...

Happy Thanksgiving!

monty924 said...

Hey Sharon. That's nice!!! Good to see you here even if it's just a pop in :))

jennifer said...

Hmmm David’s, hope you get this!!

jennifer said...

Christian is super smart...kinda exhausting!

Glenn Allen said...

Christian found the Idol>

monty924 said...

Looks like a BB challenge

Nickelpeed said...

Yay for Christian!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Sharon!. I am still trtying to see who to root for.

monty924 said...

Dan's an idiot for saving Angelina last week. I hope they vote him off, LOL

Jackie S. said...

I find Christian very entertaining and want him to stay. I was really liking John until he got bamboozled last week. Davie is another fun character.

Glenn Allen said...

Very true Monty. If Dan hadn't saved Angelina he would have still had the Idol and John would have still been there.

jennifer said...

Jackie, I’m right there with you!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Everybody! I'm not able to watch the show tonight but I just wanted to drop in and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

GO BUCKS - BEAT BLUE!!

jennifer said...

Ssshhhh Nick!

jennifer said...

Change my mind, yay David’s!

monty924 said...

The David's have the upper hand tonight

jennifer said...

My family keeps turning to the KU game!!

Nickelpeed said...

I just want the David's to get an upper hand. I was hoping the take a vote and vote 2x could hold off, but the only way to get ahead is to use it. Now to trick Dan in to not using the idol.

jennifer said...

Agree!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Ed! Kara and Allison can't make up their minds about flipping the vote.

jennifer said...

Wonder if this trouble will be as entertaining as last week!
