Survivor 38: Edge of Extinction - Ep. 13 Blog Party


They seriously need to do something with all of the castaways still hanging out over on Extinction Island. Next week is the season finale and we still have all but two castaways remaining technically in the show. It looks like a jury of thirteen?!?! Oh my! 

I will be live blogging the show's major events as it airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in!

Here are the latest blog pool standings from the Luverly Lifeguard Laurie --

Survivor fans ready? 


Rick is trying to convince everyone his idol came from  Extinction. Gavin feels bad about betraying Ron and thinks it will now put everyone's focus on getting Rick out. Rick knows he's a lone wolf and looks for an idol. Meanwhile, although some are believing idols and advantages might just be found on Extinction, Lauren knows otherwise. She thinks she'd like to add a second one to her pocket. But Rick is really going after it. 

Welp, Rick found an idol and we're heading into the Reward challenge. Helicopter trip over the island, fancy meal. Toss a ball, catch on the other side of an obstacle. Dig under a beam, get two balls, then land the balls on a narrow perch.

Gavin wins Reward, chooses Victoria saying she hasn't been on Reward, then Lauren. The others mention that Aurora hasn't been on Reward just like Victoria.

The three on Reward think Rick needs to go next. They want Aurora in there with them sticking together. Victoria tells her she wants Julie out after Rick. Aurora isn't a happy camper.

Extinction -- they get the letters they wrote to themselves before the game. Overly dramatic similar the the drama and tears when the "loved ones visit." 

On camp, since he now has an idol, Rick decides he should torment the others. After all, he knows they all want him out anyway. He's having a ball letting them follow him around and hiding. 

Time for the Immunity Challenge. Race to slide tiles into a target, two handles to transport through obstacle course, solve puzzle -- a six word phrase. 

Not living on the edge tonight is the phrase. Rick Devens wins! He knows the second target after himself is Julie. He wants to try to keep her int the game.

Aurora is calling Rick a thorn in her side. The others are still talking about taking Julie out. Julie knows that the only one who really would work with her is Rick. She tries working on Lauren to possibly target Aurora. Lauren makes the suggestion of Aurora to Gavin. Rick himself wants to create some chaos at tribal and get the Gavin alliance turning on each other.

At Tribal, Jeff already has Julie talking about the four person alliance. Aurora once again says how much they need to get Rick out. As they all talk about getting him out, Rick is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Rick talks about how Aurora is sitting on the bottom of her alliance. He also says he's going to play his idol to save Julie and pulls the idol out to show them. It's wrapped up, they don't know if it's real or fake. 

The tally -- Rick does NOT play his idol.

Aurora, Julie, Aurora, Aurora, Aurora … she's out! 

Naturally, she grabs the torch and heads to the fast growing city of Extinction. 

Jeff says one will come back from Extinction next week. I guess we'll just have a huge jury.

Hi Jackie and everyone who follows.

Petals said...

~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~

Hi Jackie, Vincent & Everyone!

I have chilled STELLLLLAAAAAA!

🍺

Glenn Allen said...

I agree Jackie that they need to do something with the Extinction Island players,

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Petals.

Petals said...

Hey Glenn.

Yeah - this is too much. It's like 2 tribes. Again.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you for letting us come here!!

I didn't think I was going to be here tonight, but got someone to work for me.

Hi Petals and Glenn.

So glad Ron is gone!!

Petals said...

I'm really pulling for Devins.

Nickelpeed said...

I hope Rick saves himself, again.

Petals said...

Who does she think she is? Shut up, mean girl.

Nickelpeed said...

if he finds it, I hope he doesn't tell ANYONE!!!

Petals said...

I really don't like that Strawberry Shortcake chick with red hair. She just sits around camp with a "who farted?" face...she does nothing.


YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks

Nickelpeed said...

Yes! Rick!! Now keep it to yourself!!

Let them think you are vulnerable. Let them try to vote you off, then vote the person you want out; and BAM!!!!!

Petals said...

Do they not do the Survivor Auction anymore?

Glenn Allen said...

Devins finds another Idol. Is their only 2 idols now?

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe!!

Petals said...

oh my! That looks SOOO difficult! Aurora is a badass.

Petals said...

hey Joey baby!

monty924 said...

H'lo everyone. Happy for Gavin!!

Joe in NY said...

Do we know that Extinction Island isn't just Jury Island at this point? Seems kind of mean if true, but it also starts to feel unfair if you bring someone back into the game at Final 5 or Final 4.

Joe in NY said...

Hi Nickel. Hi Petals

Nickelpeed said...

Now they'll hate Lauren even more. Wow.

Petals said...

Hey Monty!!!!!

monty924 said...

Joe, I've been wondering the same thing. When will it end?????

Nickelpeed said...

I was thinking the same thing, Joe. They're all basically rested. I don't know how the food is, though.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe. Lauren might need to use her Idol if she doesn't win immunity.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Monty!!

Jenna G said...

His Jackie, and everyone! Baseball consuming my life this month. I'm a bit behind, but will catch up by next commercial.

Jenna G said...

His...hi...

monty924 said...

Hey Petals... I made it early last night (oops) and late tonight, but I made it :)))

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Monty. Unless they have one big comp at final 5 to bring a player back from extinction.

monty924 said...

Hey Penny

monty924 said...

Hi Glenn

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jenna G.

Petals said...

I think it was Ozzy (or maybe even Colton, Yul, etc before him) that made me hate the do-nothings. Like Victoria.
The ones who win challenges, hunt & gather, etc are targeted, while the hangers-on glide to the end. Like Cirie. Or Sandra. Or Victoria. (I'm sure there are more, I have no memory).

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Everybody!

No luv for my girl Aurora :((

jennifer said...

Hi everyone!! I’m late to the party!!

Jackie S. said...

Petals - It's been a while since they did the auction. They haven't done icky foods in a long time!

monty924 said...

You know what's worse than a paper cut???? Cutting you finger on aluminum foil. It hurts like a B&^%!!!

Petals said...

oh yeah! The icky foods! That used to be a rite-of-passage for Survivors. Those half-grown unhatched eggs? Big, writhing caterpillars? I'd forgotten!

I kinda miss the old days. So many idols, twists, turns now.

Petals said...

Monty - the foil itself, or the foil cutter on the box?

Petals said...

Hey ED! Hi Jenna! Hi Penny!

Petals said...

Is this Extinctions version of the loved-ones visit?

monty924 said...

Petals, the foil itself. I was wrapping a sheet pan tonight and sliced my index finger. OUCH!!!

Petals said...

OUCH! Sorry. Neosporin.

monty924 said...

I think so, Petals.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Ed and Jennifer. Is this a first a letter to yourself?

tbc said...

Hi all!!!

monty924 said...

Yep, but I use Bacitracin. Better than Neosporin.

Glenn Allen said...

Ouch Monty hope it feels better soon.

monty924 said...

Hey Ed and tbc

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC its weird a letter from yourself instead of letter from family.

Petals said...

Hey Teeb! Hey Jenn!

Petals said...

Jenna & Jennifer - did you guys go to NKOTB last night? heeheee

jennifer said...

I don’t think I would want to read a letter to myself unless it was from the future and I gave myself winning lottery numbers lol

monty924 said...

Can't believe TBBT will be gone after three more episodes :(

Jenna G said...

Hi Petals and Glenn...Petals I agree with what you said up there, the season who made me the most upset was when Sandra rode coat tails and sailed straight to the end not having to burn anyone and was the winner....oh I was so mad she won. I know that is some peoples strategy, but it is the strategy that I don't care for one bit! I like players like Devins that fights to stay who has the target always, who somehow, with idols, wins, or clever chess moves who slipp's right out of the clutches of the chopping block week after week then ends up winning.

Nickelpeed said...

I love the scenery so much. Ahhhhh, Rick, you are so devious!

monty924 said...

Devins is funny. He's making it interesting

Petals said...

^5 Jenna! Right?

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jenna

Petals said...

Love Devins! Yes, it is hilarious!

Glenn Allen said...

Here is an idea for Extinction Island,, They should all compete and then the winner of the contest compete against the current players in the game. If they win they get back in the game.

Nickelpeed said...

LOLOL @ Jennifer. I agree. Read it only if you are from the future!

Petals said...

Monty - GOT in just 2 eps. Ack!

jennifer said...

Love that Rick is having fun! He just needs to win this challenge!!!

Nickelpeed said...

I agree with that, Glenn. Great idea.

Petals said...

Yeah Glenn!

Petals said...

I'd like to borrow Aurora's body for about a year or so...

Nickelpeed said...

Jenna, I, too, root for the person who, against all odds, still stays in the game through hard, hard work.

Nickelpeed said...

Just wish there were more episodes for GOT. Still so much to cover and not enough time.

Petals said...

c'mon Devins!!!

Jenna G said...

No, but they were my first concert ever at 19 when I lived in Miami...I took a set of twin boys who I was babysitting that night. Best babysitter EVER!

Petals said...

Penny - at least they are 90+ minutes. Like mini-movies.

Petals said...

WHOOOOOOOOOO

jennifer said...

Yes!!!!

monty924 said...

YES!!!!

Petals said...

STELLLAAAA for everyone!

Where is Squeeg??

Nickelpeed said...

YES!!! Now, they'll have to vote out one of their own! LOLOL

Jenna G said...

😭😭😭😭

Jenna G said...

Hi Penny!

Glenn Allen said...

Jeff gave a hint with the word tonight.

Ed in Ohio said...

...and he gets to keep his idol!

jennifer said...

Cheers!

Nickelpeed said...

I know, Petals, but still not enough. LOL. I'm enjoying reading what everyone is saying about it. I love going to You Tube and listen to all the videos. There are some REALLY angry people out there. It all makes me laugh.

monty924 said...

So much time left. This will be a scramble to see who they pick to vote off tonight.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Ed! Yep, he gets to keep his idol. He's sitting good right now. Next week is the finale. Are there any shows in between? Still a lot left.

Jenna G said...

Chi tea, Starbucks cup🤣🤣🤣🤣

monty924 said...

I think they'll try to go after Julie, but suspect Devin's will turn something here.

Petals said...

Penny - Myself, I am one of the sad, angry people. Writers seem to have taken a shortcut with this season. Argh! I don't think I can handle another dragon death or dire wolf abandonment. (he didn't even huh him!?!?!?)

Nickelpeed said...

Petals, I always buy the Season. Right now, Season 8 of GOT is going for over $50. I've never paid that much for them. FIFTY DOLLARS!!!

SueGee said...

Howdy everyone!! I'm late but still not able to sit and "watch" yet...aiming for TAR later.

Have fun!!

Petals said...

Get rid of Lauren or Rora (or that slug VicSNOREia)

Petals said...

SQUEEEEEEGGG!! Happy belated Birthday!

Nickelpeed said...

Oh, I know, Petals. I'm just hoping they don't make Daeny in to a mad Queen. She isn't. I have always been Jon fan, but dang....give Daeny a decent ending. The character deserves that.

Nickelpeed said...

I think Victoria would be a great choice. Or, even, maybe Gavin.

Petals said...

I totally agree, Penny!

Ed in Ohio said...

Seems like my pool girl Aurora gets mentioned every week! :((

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, Petals, Ghost deserved more than what he got. That broke my heart. I'm hoping the ending is, Daeny takes the Throne and Jon moves up North with Ghost, away from everything. He needs to be a ghost, too. Screw everything else!!!

Petals said...

he's gonna waste his idol on Julie! NOOOOOOOO

Nickelpeed said...

Hi SueGee!!!

monty924 said...

Petals, I don't think he would do that. He's just talking mind games at tribal.

Joe in NY said...

Why didn't he pretend he was going to give the idol to her? That would have forced them to flip. He can only use it himself at maybe 2 more tribals, right? He doesn't have to give it to her, but if he could convince them he was going to...they'd have to turn on Aurora to avoid being the victim themselves

Nickelpeed said...

He better not waste his idol on Julie!!! He doesn't know what's going to happen next TC. Jackie, does he still have another TC he could use it?

monty924 said...

Ed, that could be a good omen!!

Petals said...

penny - i was really rooting for the incest romance of Dany~Jon. I wanted them & the dragons to be a family and rule the world. Silly me.
I'd love to see Tyrion rule. He's so cool. (but someone has to ride the dragon! he can't)
It'll be Jon on the throne at the end. The reluctant Dragon King of the North.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Suegee! Did Lauren make herself a target?

monty924 said...

Joe, he still might. Like I said, I don't think he will, but he's got something up his sleeve that he's saving for TC.

Laurie said...

Just dropping in to say hello!! You all have been great this season.
Remember to thank Jackie by sending her something thru PayPal. Every little bit helps!!

Petals said...

Hi Laurie!!! ♥

Ed in Ohio said...

Nah Monty, I give up. When your name is constantly being brought up it's just a matter of time.

I won A BB pool & a Tar pool but I can't even get my pool picks to the final 3 in Survivor.

monty924 said...

Largest jury every, LOL

Jackie S. said...

The idol doesn't have to be played tonight. Rick won't waste it on Julie.

monty924 said...

Same here, Ed. One TAR and one BB... still chasing the Survivor pool, but this season is out. :)))

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Laurie!

Ed in Ohio said...

They're making Devins case to the jury!

Petals said...

Yes Ed! They sure are! Thanks bitter players!

OH NO! Dummy!

jennifer said...

OMG .... he is using it!!!

Jenna G said...

Here he goes....ohhhh he's teasing it...

Ed in Ohio said...

Call his bluff!!

Glenn Allen said...

Lauren if smart plays her Idol just in case!

Petals said...

Joe still looks hot, less like Jack Sparrow.

Petals said...

yes Glenn, good point

Nickelpeed said...

Petals, I think they shouldn't push for Jon to do something he doesn't want to do. I think Daeny is in a bad position. I'd love to see both Daeny and Jon rule together, but I do not think that is going to happen and it is sad.

Petals said...

*whew*

jennifer said...

What?!?

monty924 said...

Yes, he kept his idol!!

Petals said...

Meanwhile, VicSNOREia gets another free ride.

Nickelpeed said...

Finally!!!

jennifer said...

Ha!

Glenn Allen said...

Devin and Lauren get to keep their Idols.

monty924 said...

Well, it has to be next week if someone wants back in the game.

Petals said...

Can they STEAL an idol from someone? Like when they go thru knapsacks, are they allowed to just take the idol from him?

Ed in Ohio said...

Well I'm out.....but maybe not?????

Nickelpeed said...

Jackie, thank you so very much! I'll be in and out next hour. Got to get everything together. We're on the road tomorrow.

Nickelpeed said...

I do not think so, Petals. It's against rules...I think.

monty924 said...

Yes, Glenn and Lauren's idol is still a secret because she's been smart and not revealed it to anyone but Kelley. It'll be interesting to see if she even has to use it next week.

Jenna G said...

I think so Petals...who ever is in position of it when it's given to Jeff it theirs to use...he needs to stuff that in his underwear!

monty924 said...

No, they cannot take someone's idol.

Nickelpeed said...

6 going in to the finale?????

Petals said...

Noooooo! Not the finale already!!??!

Jenna G said...

Good night all who isn't going to next show have a great week! Thanks Jackie!

Petals said...

Thank you Jackie (I can afford to donate next pay period)

Nickelpeed said...

I'm looking at the rules and they cannot steal. Bill found Colton's in Survivor One World and threw it out in the ocean. Production had everyone looking for it. It was eventually returned to him.

Jenna G said...

Yep, your right, they can't.
