Survivor 40: Winners at War - April 15 Blog Party


Good evening! I hope everyone is safe and well tonight. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating this entry with the major happenings. Please refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments section -- I hope to see you there!

Lifeguard Laurie has given the latest blog pool update. Of course. technically we're all still in it with the exception of those unfortunate enough to have drawn Queen Sandra. Here's the latest standings --


Ben Driebergen - Rbennie, Shannon
Denise Stapley - Becky, Jennifer
Jeremy Collins - Sharon N
Kim Spradlin-Wolfe - Dr_Celine
Michele Fitzgerald -Terry is a Texan
Nick Wilson - Barbara BW, Judi Sweeney
Parvati Shallow - Donna in FL
Sarah Lacina - SueGee, Cheryl in NC
Sophie Clarke - ChicMc
Tony Vlachos - Karen in CA, Donna in Alabama
Tyson Apostol -Janice

Extinction Island
Amber Mariano - Delee, Glenn Allen
Danni Boatwright - Jennasmom
Ethan Zohn - Rochelle, Jackie
Natalie Anderson - Nana in the NW
Rob Mariano - Auntie Leigh
Yul Kwon - Ed in Ohio
Wendell Holland - Nickelpeed, PDX Granny
Adam Klein - Lifeguard Laurie, Petals

Survivor fans ready?


We start with the family/loved ones fest o' tears at a site with a challenge set-up. Oh, geez. Kim's whole family, including kids, is there. Now. it's Ben's family. I guess we'll get a slew of guests and tears tonight.

Challenge -- There is no challenge. All are going back to camp.

They're all thrilled that it's family time. In today's world, they probably are wishing the family time was back on the island!

A ship is coming to Extinction. It's their families, as well. They just visit and don't stay.

Immunity Challenge time ... without the family members. Pull on a rope balancing a wobbly table, collect letter blocks, stack them to spell IMMUNITY. The winner also wins two fire tokens.

TONY wins Immunity, his first ever!

Heh, Tony can't believe he won by being slow and steady while he's more of a fast and sloppy kind of guy. He would like to see Tyson out while his female advisor (Sarah?) want to target Kim. Jeremy is on the target list, too. Ohh ... Sarah is on the line, too.

Jeremy is torn whether he should save his butt by using his advantage that allows him to leave Tribal or stay to be a vote with his allies.

Tribal Council time. Let the whispers commence. Jeremy uses his advantage. He cannot vote nor be voted out. More whispering. His five have to scramble without his vote. Sarah uses her steal a vote advantage and steals Denise's vote. Sarah gets to vote twice.

The tally --
Kim plays her idol for Denise.

Denise, Denise, Sophie, Sophie, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson.

Tyson is out again.

Aw ... a group hug for Jeff from the Extinction people for their visits.

Hi Dr Celine, moleman, tbc, and Sharon.

Glenn Allen said...

That was the biggest survivor twist ever

Nickelpeed said...

How is everyone holding up?

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Dr Celine Moleman and Sharon

jennifer said...

I loved the twist!

Auntie Leigh said...

Hi everyone. Congrats to JenniferAKA YAYA... not a big fan of the cornball family session. But good if the exiles got it too. Be safe everyone,

Glenn Allen said...

This is a great survivor and Big Brother Challenge

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Auntie Leigh

The moleman said...

Everyone got it it's fair!

jennifer said...

This is anyone’s game... looks very tricky!!

Nickelpeed said...

Boy, it seems like the Survivor hour is a blink of an eye, then it's over.

monty924 said...

Penny, I'm starting to lose my mind, lol

The moleman said...

Ya it does

jennifer said...

Jeff, stop talking!

Auntie Leigh said...

Hi Glenn Allen...aren't you the one who survived eye of the hurricane land-fall with just a generator and a case of pepsi?

tbc said...

Well deserved!!

Glenn Allen said...

Tony wins his first Challenge

tbc said...

A paper clip and duck tape, too Glenn

monty924 said...

Tony can't believe it, lol

Glenn Allen said...

Auntie Leigh that wasn't me

Nickelpeed said...

That's a hard one. Jeff is such a sassy guy. I know they would love to slap him. LOL.

Did everyone read that the finale will be virtual?

jennifer said...

Didn’t see that, I had wondered...

monty924 said...

I didn't Penny, but you had to figure it would be... :(((

The moleman said...

He wasn't in any danger here anyway!

Glenn Allen said...

Where did you see that at Penny? Did you see Jeff in a article say if they ever hid an Idol at tribal council it would be obvious. He said because of the fear people would tear up the set lol. Aunt Leigh I had the Bad Hurricane in Season @0 of Big Brother and was wiyhout power for a while.

Nickelpeed said...

Yeah, no audience. The reunion will be in everyone's own home. It's sad. I always liked seeing the audience and the group together.

Auntie Leigh said...

Oh, Maybe it was Monty.

The moleman said...

Second season in a row that it's not going to be a normal finale

Nickelpeed said...

Here's the article, Glenn.

monty924 said...

Maybe me what, Auntie???

Petals said...

who does she think she is???

Auntie Leigh said...

Who was with their dad in Wrightsville beach when a hurricane made landfall? I was so worried, and then whoever it was, never even missed a beat at blogging.

Glenn Allen said...

Thanks Penny for the Article link

The moleman said...

Jeremy might play his advantage

Glenn Allen said...

Jeremy should walk out if he thinks things not looking good at Tribal. Jeff did say any Idols etc would be back in play if someone got back into the game from extinction if they had any

monty924 said...

Oh, no that wasn't me. I'm safely inland in Ohio :)))

Ed in Ohio said...

Jeremy has to weigh the 2 million$ versus loyalty to his alliance. I'm guessing he plays his advantage & leaves the Tribal

The moleman said...

I would probably play it!

SueGee said...

Hey Monty - I know what you mean....slowly going crazy locked up. And now the weather is nice too!!

jennifer said...

Ready to play Survivor!!

Petals said...

I really hate the tribal whispering stuff.

jennifer said...

Can you image the hamsters doing this on live eviction night???

The moleman said...

I Don't like it either!

Ed in Ohio said...

Whispering @ Tribal must be the 'in thing' now

Petals said...

nooooooo!

jennifer said...

Omgosh!

Petals said...

oh no, Jeremy

Petals said...

when did Sophara take over the tribe???

monty924 said...

This is as crazy as our lives are right now, LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Kim should play the Idol on herself

Petals said...

to quote Andy Murray, "SHITE!!!!!"

jennifer said...

Well put, Monty!!

Nickelpeed said...

Jeremy abandoned ship. Wow.

They're going to get Kim. Dang. Or maybe Tyson.

Very sneaky this year.

It's going to be Tyson, then???

Ed in Ohio said...

Bold guess

tbc said...

What????

Glenn Allen said...

Wow for denice

Petals said...

wth?

monty924 said...

Damn

Petals said...

Please let Sofi go!

Ed in Ohio said...

Two time loser

Nickelpeed said...

Denise??? Dang, there he goes again. Crap.

monty924 said...

i think I would have done the same thing. Flip those little boxes the bird.

jennifer said...

Wow!
Thanks Jackie!! Everyone have a wonderful ( safe from all craziness) week🤗

Nickelpeed said...

Dang, dang, dang. The New School will not give it up. I bet Jeremy knew. That's why he left. No blood on his hands.

Petals said...

These tribals are brutal!

Once again, the fastest hour on the clock is over. :(
Thank you Jackie, very much.

Stay safe friends.
XOXOX

monty924 said...

Well, I have to run. Everyone stay safe and healthy and will see you next time.

Thanks Jackie

Ed in Ohio said...

G'nite All! Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks Jackie!

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. Greatly appreciated.

Stay safe everyone. See you all next week!

The moleman said...

Gotta see the voting breakdown!

Nickelpeed said...

LOLOLOLOLOL

Petals said...

Nickelpeed said...

Me, too, moleman. It'll be on cbs later?

Jackie S. said...

Thank you for coming! Stay safe!

Glenn Allen said...

That was great the Jury thanked Jeff

Dr_Celine said...

Hi to all who said hello! I only peep in from time to time so I don't learn TOO MUCH before the show airs here in California! I am with you ALL in spirit! :-) Thanks Jackie for hosting, as usual!

Mike Barer said...

Great wrap up, reminds me of when I blogged the Apprentice back in the day.
