Survivor: Island of the Idols - December 4 Blog Party


Tonight is the family or loved ones visit show, either liked or annoying to show fans. I'm basically along with the latter crowd. While I'm sure it's great to see them, the schmaltz about it all is a tad too much. But they never listen to me. P think I'm looking more forward to see if Karishma keeps surviving.

I'll be updating this post with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments ares -- I hope to see you there!

The Lovely Lifeguard Laurie has updated the blog pool -- are you still in it ti won it?

Survivor fans ready?

The show opens with Jeff Probst calling the castaways in. He announces the loved ones visit. Tears and drama to go down with each. @@

Okay, to the challenge, they're drawing for pairs. Reward in the form of love. Obstacles, digging to get underneath log,
Tommy and Janet win Reward. They can invite one along -- Dan and his son Ryan who's only 13. They pick another -- Lauren.

Noura is rallying the troops back at camp. They are four against four. They think they should look for idols. They're not sure of the possibility of bringing one of the other four aboard. Elaine found an idol!

Time for the Immunity Challenge. Stand on a small block of wood stabilizing a ball on a block of wood. Drop the ball and you're out. It's the one where they have two handles.

Dean out, Tommy out, Noura out, Janet drops, Karishma out. Dan drops. It's down to Lauren and Elaine. ELAINE drops unexpectedly!

LAUREN WINS IMMUNITY!

The plan is to put four votes on Karishma, three on Janet (in case Karisma has another idol). Meanwhile the four that had stayed at camp decide they can control the vote if all four stick together. They're thinking Tommy. Sure enough, Noura is overthinking everything.

Tribal Council time. Starting off with the loved ones visit and how it affects those left back at camp. Lots of whispering going on. Noura calls out Dean, Elaine and Karishma … yikes! She tells all including Elaine's idol! She ends up caught in a lie and will we see the end of Noura tonight? Hmm.

The tally … Elaine plays her idol to save herself.

Karishma, Noura, Noura, Noura, Karishma, Karishma, Karishma, Karishma ...

Welp, they got Karishma out and Noura showed her true colors putting a huge target on her back.

~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~

Hi Jackie & Vincent & everyone!
My Sebastian is v sick and will prolly not make it until the next party. :(
I'm trying to be a responsible adult about it, but SH*T, you know?

Anyway - I did bring Stella, of course.
Loved ones episode? Already?

Is that her husband???

Jackie S. said...

I'm so sorry to hear that, Petals. Give him a hug for me.

Petals said...

poor Krishna

monty924 said...

Hey Petals... Prayers for Sebastian ♥

Petals said...

thanks Ms. J. I know you know how it is... Pet parents know.
It's the most difficult decision in the world.

Dang! Must fix my avi.

Jackie S. said...

"Nouramal" -- that's a good one!

SueGee said...

Jackie - can't read the blog. Big black lines

Petals said...

Friend - omg. ♥

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you for blogging for us.

Hi Monty, Petals. Petals I am so sorry about Sebastian. I'm sending prayers.

Jackie S. said...

Sue = through all of it?

Nickelpeed said...

He's a really young one. 13, wow

I said the same about Nouramal. LOL

monty924 said...

From Elizabeth on Jackie

SueGee said...

I sent you a sample on Messenger black lines only with one having white type in it

Nickelpeed said...

I SueGee.

Judi Sweeney said...

Hey Monty, Petals, Jackie, SueGee and Penny!

Nickelpeed said...

Now, that was sweet.

Petals said...

Was that Lauren's husband? Friend?

Jackie S. said...

I can't get Messenger while doing this.

Nickelpeed said...

Ok, who we rooting for?

Judi Sweeney said...

So sorry to hear this Petals.... Hugs...

Petals said...

I hope they pick the guy to be with his son.

SueGee said...

Hi everyone!! Congrats to Monty

Always have the blog on one tab and the comments on another to know what is going on.

Squeegee

SueGee said...

I have to take a run to pick up sandwiches...be back in a bit

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi everybody! Sorry about Sebastian Petals, I've been through it 3 times.

Jackie everything after Elizabeth is a solid black line, no type.

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, I don't blame her, though.

monty924 said...

SueGee, you can read it if you click on show original post at the top of this page. I can't read it either on the home page.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Judi and Ed. Hey did all you Ohioans see that the Buckeyes were rated 1?

Judi Sweeney said...

Not sure why... but the last 3 paragraphs are all black and I can’t read them. How do I fix it? Help

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Penny! Yes Buckeyes #1 & deservedly so.

Jackie S. said...

Sue - check now, please

Ed in Ohio said...

It's back to normal Jackie.

Jackie S. said...

Ed -- Can you see if I fixed that now?

Nickelpeed said...

That's terrible to put it about Kharishma

Jackie S. said...

Thank you, Ed! HTML issues.

Ed in Ohio said...

Yes Jackie everything is now visible.

Judi Sweeney said...

Fixed... I can read everything now! Happy

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, Ed, the Buckeyes did deserve it. It's about time.

Boy, Noura is really on a soap box. LOL

Petals said...

YAY Buckeyes!! If it can't be 'Bama, at least it is Bucks!

So who is the guy with Lauren???

Petals said...

Someone needs to remove Snoura's batteries

monty924 said...

Hey Homie and Penny. Yes, Buckeyes deserve it.

Nickelpeed said...

Dang, I really did not want Elaine to get it.


Petals, it was her husband.

Ed in Ohio said...

Hey Homie! Is that 'Joey?' ready for some Buckeye football?

Nickelpeed said...

LOL @ Petals - Snoura's batteries

Petals said...

Her husband?????? What an unusual couple. Good for them! Thanks Penny.

Petals said...

wow...who can win this one?

Petals said...

Snoura does yoga...prolly her.

Petals said...

well, there goes THAT theory, LOL

Petals said...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nickelpeed said...

Wow!!!

Petals said...

That's a pic of my son, our first Christmas, 2011. ♥ Isn't he adorable?

Nickelpeed said...

I wonder if Elaine did that on purpose?

monty924 said...

He was Ed, lol. He hates any kind of clothes though, so it came off at half time. :)))

Nickelpeed said...

I kind of feel sorry for Karishma. I know she doesn't do anything, but they really treat her badly.

Petals said...

Who Monty? Joey? Or Steve? LOL

Ed in Ohio said...

Well Monty we were up at the half so he did a good job!

Nickelpeed said...

I just can't imagine her family and her watching this and feeling good.

Petals said...

I so agree Penny. They way she broke down to her husband, so sad. No one should be treated so badly in a game. I mean, they are all adults, but they acted like middle-schoolers toward her.

Nickelpeed said...

Noura is a little whacky.

Jackie S. said...

A little whacky?

Ed in Ohio said...

Coo Coo for Coconuts!

Nickelpeed said...

I just feel sorry for her, Petals. I know she doesn't do anything around camp or anything, but she's still a human; she deserves to be treated halfway decently.

Petals said...

Do you think that Noura is acting more loco than she really is? Like, for more camera time? Or to be a memorable "character" in Survivor-dom? Like Coach? (who, I believe, is truly marching to the beat of his own drum)

Nickelpeed said...

Yep, Ed. I don't know what she was confused about. Just vote Tommy, all four of them. We'll see what happens. I don't know why they split these votes now.

monty924 said...

I think she's really that loco

Petals said...

here we go...the whispers

Nickelpeed said...

What an idiot! So, he just told Tommy, it was him. How stupid. Forget Noura, Dean is the one who's flipping.

WOW!!!

monty924 said...

Lol Petals (8:39)!! :)))

Nickelpeed said...

OMG!!! There goes Noura.

monty924 said...

Bet Noura goes now

Nickelpeed said...

None of these people can shut up. If he had not spoken up, they could have had 4 straight votes for Tommy, but no....geesh

Ed in Ohio said...

This is a first......Jeff's not talking!!

Petals said...

And meanwhile, Krishna keeps quiet (smart) and slides thru another eviction. LOL

Ed in Ohio said...

Last minute negotiations.

Nickelpeed said...

She needs to go. No doubt about that. I do agree with her in some ways. Dean should have shut up. If Noura doesn't go, I'll be surprised.

Petals said...

Chick Observation: half of Noura's eyebrows are bladed. they are fading, too. Ick. She may have been more attractive without the balding before the show.

Nickelpeed said...

Maybe Dean goes? This is crazy. It should be Noura or Dean.

Petals said...

Rob with quote of the night!

Nickelpeed said...

He's right, she screwed herself.

Petals said...

OMG! NO, really? Poor Krashma

monty924 said...

Should have been nutty Noura

Nickelpeed said...

That was so stupid. They lost a loyal vote.

Ed in Ohio said...

It finally happened!

Nickelpeed said...

The jury is right, dumb moves.

Petals said...

this is not the most exciting season, but it is very ... interesting. Right?

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. Will see everyone next week. Have a great weekend. Petals, I'll be praying for you and Sebastian.

monty924 said...

I agree Petals. They keep us on our toes but I don't think it's intentional, LOL!!

Ed in Ohio said...

G'Nite All!

Thanks Jackie!

& GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you all for coming!

Petals said...

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes & prayers for my Bash. I go to vet tomorrow to see how bad it is; I am -hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst- news. *sigh*

Thanks to Jax & Vincent for hosting. See you all next week.. ♥

monty924 said...

Thank you Jackie!

Petals... many, many hugs for you and Bash ♥♥
