Survivor 40: Winners at War - March 18 Blog Party


I hope everybody is dealing with the virus as best as one can deal with it. Hang in there! 

Now on the show we have three tribes and only the one tribe winning Immunity will be safe. So, two castaways will be leaving us. I think that kind of shows that we're not all that far from the merge. 

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating the blog with the major events. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Lifeguard Laurie has been so kind as to go with the shuffle and update our blog pool. Here are the latest standings -- 

DAKAL
Denise Stapley - Becky, Jennifer
Jeremy Collins - Sharon N
Kim Spradlin-Wolfe - Dr_Celine
Sandra Diaz-Twine - tbe
Tony Vlachos - Karen in CA, Donna in Alabama

SELE
Michele Fitzgerald -Terry is a Texan
Nick Wilson - Barbara BW, Judi Sweeney
Parvati Shallow - Donna in FL
Wendell Holland - Nic+F10:F30kelpeed, PDX Granny
Yul Kwon - Ed in Ohio

YARA
Adam Klein - Lifeguard Laurie, Petals
Ben Driebergen - Rbennie, Shannon
Sarah Lacina - SueGee, Cheryl in NC
Sophie Clarke - ChicMc

Extinction Island
Natalie Anderson - Nana in the NW
Amber Mariano - Delee, Glenn Allen
Danni Boatwright - Jennasmom
Ethan Zohn - Rochelle, Jackie
Tyson Apostol -Janice
Rob Mariano - Auntie Leigh

Survivor fans ready?


Ben is thrilled Rob is gone. Adam is a bit worried about his own position on his smaller tribe.

Rob hits Extinction. Tyson found a log message which pretty much instructed them to turn stones to find a fire token. "The more stones you turn over, the better your chances are." Tyson thinks it's something to do with the tide because there's a time reference. Sure enough, he finds his first fire token. It's an idol nullifier he can sell for a token with the castaways. He purchases peanut butter with his token garnered from Parvati.

Immunity Challenge time. Lots of "oohhs" when Jeff pointed out Rob is gone. Swim to boat, retrieve three bags of rice, get them back and retrieve three balls, then table maze. Reward is peanut butter and jelly. The losing two tribes will go separately to tribal councils and each will lose a person.

YARA wins Immunity!

Parvati is very worried. While she has the idol nullifier, it's numbers she needs. However, Michele is trying to turn the tide against Wendell. On Dakal, Jeremy thinks he might have to use his walk out of tribal advantage. Sandra is pointing out that Tony is missing. Of course, he's been up in his "bunker." Hmm ... will Denise be targeted? Or, will it be Jeremy? Sandra offers her immunity idol for two fire tokens ... to Denise. Hmm.

The first tribal is Sele. Wendell thinks it's a season of pre-existing relationship. He touts backstabbing while Nick thinks that approach won't work as well with all. Uh-oh, now Wendell is on the hot seat. Now they're talking exchanging fire tokens for votes. Yul says the situation reminds him of watching parents bicker. It's not obvious who will be voted out at this point.

The tally:
Parvati, Wendell, Wendell, Parvati, Parvati

Well, yeah. Parvati is a big threat for the win. But it's too bad. She leaves her fire tokens to Michele.

Time for Dakal tribal council. They start out talking about who's a threat and those who aren't -- even though they all won their own seasons. Tony claims they all came to a consensus. He seems to be pointing out Denise. Sandra is sitting there like a calm Queen remaining the Queen.

Denise plays an idol, then asks for a minute more. She plays the second one for Jeremy!

The tally:
Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise, SANDRA

Whoa! The Queen is no longer the Queen! She gave her fire token to Yul.

Petals said...

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Everybody! Sandra is pretty useless when it comes to challenges. Doesn't even participate! Hope Parvati's safe.

The moleman said...

Hi

jennifer said...

Especially at this time of year when everything is brown!!

monty924 said...

Well, we certainly have our DISTANCE tonight so I'm enjoying the company. Day one of WAH yesterday and Steve filed a harassment claim against me.

I think Michelle is in a lot of footage too.

jennifer said...

Yes! Sandra is like a cult leader!

The moleman said...

Don't want nick or michele to go, anybody else is fine!

Petals said...

hey Mole, Hey Ed

Don't trust Parv!

monty924 said...

Hello Homie

jennifer said...

Come on Pavarotti!!

Petals said...

Corona, Sharona (ma-ma-my-ayy-ayyyy)

Nickelpeed said...

Oh Wendell, why work foolishly. I don't want Parv to go.

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Petals & Homie!

monty924 said...

I love TOny's spy shacks

Joe in NY said...

I would love to see what happens if they see Tony in the fronds. LMFAO

jennifer said...

No no no.... it’s covid 19.... come on Eileen!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny and Jennifer, The Spyshack is back lol.

jennifer said...

Wow, Denise has a rockin body! Hope I do at her age lol

Petals said...

Sandra out...pretending to look for sh**, but not carrying anything.

NO DENISE - you are one of a dozen people that drank Sandra koolaid. How does this happen every season?
At least Dr Will or Rob ...they are charming. Sandra is disgusting

Nickelpeed said...

OMGOSH!! GET RID OF SANDRA!!

jennifer said...

I missed last week’s episode, never got a chance to see it, on my way out of work my coworker told me Rob was voted out . I wanted to cry

Ed in Ohio said...

Tony...Tony...Tony!!!

jennifer said...

He is a basket case!

The moleman said...

Ok

jennifer said...

Bet he would be fun at a party!

Petals said...

who - "on the other side" - is with Sandra?

Ed in Ohio said...

LOL Jennifer!

jennifer said...

Yes!!

Nickelpeed said...

brb everyone.

They are trying to get rid of the women. Dang. Come on women, stick together!!

She's taking the same book from Wendell

Petals said...

Tony would be fun at a party!

jennifer said...

Sandra is vicious!

monty924 said...

Interesting

Petals said...

I cannot believe Denise is so stupid.

monty924 said...

He would Petals! :)))

jennifer said...

Denise.... slap slap slap. Don’t be fooled by her!!

Glenn Allen said...

Could Sandra be voted out with her own idol if she gave one to Tony as well lol

The moleman said...

Think jeremy might need to say "PEACE OUT!

Petals said...

Is there a secret group of people who love Sandra? Like...blindly?? How else could someone like her do so little, win so much, and be so persuasive? It's Jim Jonesy. (IMO)

jennifer said...

Yes Jim’s koolaid group!!

jennifer said...

No eye rolls please!

Petals said...

nooooo Jennifer

monty924 said...

Silent majority or something here, PEtals, LOL! I honestly don't mind Sandra... she plays the game great but she won't go far this season. Too many of them will never let her win a third time and 2 million with this season.

jennifer said...

Lol

Petals said...

Do you guys think that only ONE person will come back from Extinction, or the whole bunch?

jennifer said...

SMH if the sheep let Sandra win!

Ed in Ohio said...

My boy Yul hasn't said much.... Layin' low!

jennifer said...

Yul, silent observation can be dangerous, lol

jennifer said...

Yes, Nick!!

Glenn Allen said...

Sandra is the Wimpiest BB Winner. She sits out almost all the challenges.

Glenn Allen said...

Jeff with the You can not set out Two competitions in a row unless you are Sandra. Sandra only has to play only One or Two comps whole time.

Petals said...

ARGH for you Sandraphiles. Not sure if it's her RBF, her babygoat killing, her crown-wearing, or her self-aggrandizing...but just ICK with me.

Ed in Ohio said...

I think there's a chance I could lose my pool boy Yul or my 'Fan fave' Parvati.

Hoping neither but...……..?

monty924 said...

LOL... love you bestie ♥

Ed in Ohio said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

tbc said...

I was so hoping to see Wendell go!!

monty924 said...

The newer kids are dominating this season. Good for them!!

jennifer said...

Ohhhh nooooo!

Nickelpeed said...

Dang, I am so sad. Dang men. All these women are going to be voted out. Grrrrrr.

Glenn Allen said...

Parvatti gone with Idol Nullifier

jennifer said...

Thank you Jackie, you and everyone have a wonderful....SAFE..... week

Nickelpeed said...

I wanted to see Wendell go even though he's my pool guy.

tbc said...

I’m hoping for Sandra, but...

Nickelpeed said...

I know, Glenn, she should have used it.

SueGee said...

One more tribal Jennifer

monty924 said...

Love Parv too Homie but they're getting rid of all the older schooled greats. It's a good strategy if you're one of the newer winners.

Joe in NY said...

I used to dislike Sandra, but she's growing on me.

Glenn Allen said...

Denise needs to buy Sandras Idol have Jeremy walk out or get denises Idol and vote out Sandra.

Petals said...

Wendell is a good competitor, tho


VOTE SANDRA.

Have they never watched past seasons? She laughs at her fellow competitors... smug ****

Nickelpeed said...

Monty, I really didn't want the newer kids to win. I love the old school better. However, the game moves too fast for the old school.

monty924 said...

Agree, Penny!!

Glenn Allen said...

The Old Schools problems started when had to vote out one of their own because of freaking out.

SueGee said...

Thank you Glenn...can't get the blog to update and all I see is no names!!

The moleman said...

Ok cool, i don't really care who goes here!

Ed in Ohio said...

My network server just went out. I'll just hang here for your comments.

SueGee said...
