Survivor: Nicaragua - Season Finale Blog Party Post

survivor,jackiestvblog

Survivors Ready?

Welcome one, welcome all! The blog party is ready to start! The Sunday night East Coast football curse strikes the timing of the show just as it did for most of The Amazing Race. I expect things to start about 20 minutes late. I'm SO happy I don't have to stay up to write up the three hours for TV Squad although I miss the income from that.

Everyone is welcome to join in with comments as the show airs here on the East Coast or even later in West Coast time. As the show airs, I'll post major events here, but the real fun and most of the reactions are in the comments section. See you there! I'll bring Trader Joe's Veggie Sticks and the Guinness.

8:18 PM ET. It's finally starting.

YES! Fabio wins immunity!

Dan was voted out.

2nd Immunity -- Holly out, Chase out. Whoa, Fabio got it again!

Sash, Chase and Fabio voted out Holly. (She voted Sash.) A good move for Fabio, methinks. I don't think Sash has jury votes. Chase is iffy.

Dan and Marty voted Fabio, Alina and Brenda voted Chase.

The vote:
Fabio, Chase, Fabio, Chase, Chase, Chase, Fabio, Fabio, FABIO!

Fabio wins!

New rule for the show -- No longer will any quitters necessarily go on the jury. The show will reserve the right to "do what they want with them." Good.

Most votes ever, biggest percentage ever, no one close ... Jane won the $100 grand for the favorite player.

NEW SEASON: When voted out, live on Redemption Island, one person will reenter the game after surviving the others coming in.

    Hi Jackie!!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I don't even like football.

    ReplyDelete
  4. who do you think will win it all tonight??

    ReplyDelete
  5. Where are you? We are in Toronto Ontario Canada and it doesn't seem to be on here either. What happened?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Football ran over. I am in Texas

    ReplyDelete
  7. NJ - I think it was the Jets/Steelers game. It was snowing there a bit ... that's about all I noticed.

  8. 8 years ago today was the finale of Survivor: Thailand. That was the year that Brian Heidik won. That was also the finale that I was in labor with my Super O! I'll never forget, the anesthesiologist came in to do my epidural, after 14 hours of labor, just as Jeff was about to reveal the winner. He asked everyone to leave the room and my mother, O's father, her aunt and my doctor all asked him if he could wait a minute!! Seriously people!! There was a TV about 100 feet away from my room in the waiting area but they were afraid they wouldn't make it on time! Almost Happy Birthday to my almost 8 year old girl!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have hot and mild tamales to share tonight.

    The only thing I am not wanting to see is the memory walk. Boring!

    If Fabio goes to the end I wouldn't be surprised to see him win it. Chase and Sash have p.oed too many people.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Merrilee - I'm not thrilled with any of them. I guess Holly or Fabio would be my choices. Dan deserves nothing and Sash annoys me. Chase has played stupidly.

    This won't go down as my favorite season, for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  11. So no one is pulling for Dan? You have to hand it to the guy for still being there.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I am rooting for my pool pick- the last girl standing- Holly but I have a feeling either Chase or Sash will win it

    ReplyDelete
  13. Dan is only there because he poses zero threat. He doesn't do well in challenges and he goes wherever the wind blows him as far as alliances go. He has no strategy and only serves as a vote at this point. If he were a threat they would have gotten rid of him a while ago.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Jackie, please turn off the wv.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Dan is still there because he hasn't annoyed anyone enough to vote him out. He may ride this to the end because he's done nothing to warrant his winning. Anyone against him will probably win because at least they tried to win a comp. For that reason, I hope they vote him out tonight before the final council. It would be sad to see anyone else win by default.

    wv is still on. Jackie?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hello folks!

    Time to see which of the Survivors is the least stupid...

    ReplyDelete
  17. I have a feeling Fabio is going to be getting calls from Calvin Klein or another company that uses men's models. He's got a really good look!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, I wanted to see them go back to camp in the rain with no fire burning.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I would love for Dan to actually win one immunity challenge. How funny would that be?

    ReplyDelete
  20. come on fabio

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm so glad Fabio won that one! He needed it so badly!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yay! Now its is gonna get interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  23. so, do you think they'll dump Dan or try to keep him around yet again. This is a million dollar choice and these morons will probably screw it up.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great for Fabio! Hope they decide to get Dan out. Ooh, Holly just said they are,

    ReplyDelete
  25. Joe-
    I vote for stupidity. They will find a way to screw up.

    ReplyDelete
  26. They'd be smart to get rid of Dan or Holly at tribal. The final three needs to include Sash and Chase. I think they've both pissed enough jury members off that whoever is there with them will win.

    ReplyDelete
  27. This is sorta like watching The Three Stooges without the yuk-yuks.

    thanks, Jackie. (wv)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Joe! Honey....I need a hug

    ReplyDelete
  29. hey guys.

    watching from israel.

    i have a hunch the big three will remain till the end

    ben

    ReplyDelete
  30. GRRR
    So anti-Dan.
    So pro-Fabio!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think they really need to KEEP Dan at this point (yes, I said it). He'll never win an endurance comp and no one on the jury is going to vote for him as being the most deserving: he's done NOTHING and he was wearing $1500 shoes so they know he doesn't need the money. They would be much better served in kicking out Chase or Sash.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hey Petals, how's it going?

    (hugs)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Poor Jane. SHe will surely get America's vote for the extra million, right?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I would vote out either Sash or Chase as they are more of a threat then Holly or Dan at this point. The next challenge(s) are going to be pysical and dan or holly won't make it long in a physical challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just dropping in for a minute from rainy California. I'm thrilled that Fabio won immunity! I hope it changes the plans!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, it will start on time here but I will have to wait over 2 more hours LOL

    Sue on the left coast ~~~~~(waving to everyone)

    ReplyDelete
  37. fabio has played a good, all-around game, without any overt under-handedness. He deserves the prize.

    ReplyDelete
  38. If anyone deserved to be "runner-up" , it was Jane.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I Jane at Tribal council?

    ReplyDelete
  40. I thought Dan was surprisingly effective in his lobbying at council, not that it probably changed anyone's mind.

    ReplyDelete
  41. wait, see her. didn't recognize her...

    ReplyDelete
  42. At least now Dan can get some ibuprofen, sit in a hot bath and rest those knees!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Tell it like it is Dan, you sore loser.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Dan's parting words were the most spirit and passion that he has shown all season!

    Thanks Jackie for taking down the wv.

    ReplyDelete
  45. If Dan would have lobbied for Chase instead of Holly to vote out when Fabio came to him I think they could have gotten Chase out with Holly's vote.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ooooo.... Holly's not getting Dan's vote!

    ReplyDelete
  47. dan is pathetic. even scrambling he cant do. sorry guys, holly is going to win

    ben

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sash is a slime.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Joe...
    I am having a rough time

    ReplyDelete
  50. (trying not to use this room as a support group, but I know you guys & stuff, so...)
    My mom is dying, and I am her only caregiver, and i am losing my mind.

    ok. done. Go Fabio.
    (see? It doesn't seem right.)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Okay, time for a snack or something! The Boring Time is upon us.

    ReplyDelete
  52. that sucks, Petals, I'm sorry. Stay strong.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Was happy to see my pool guy, Shannon leave early. Still am.

    ReplyDelete
  54. ahhh Petals. I am sooo sorry to hear that. Chin up girl, My mom is taking care of my grandma and I know what you are going thru.
    Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  55. Sorry to hear that Petals.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh, Petals, I am so sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  57. OMG Joe. These are the last days, and there are the vultures, and yada yada.
    I try to be strong, but she is awake 24/7, and into everything, like a 3 yr old, but so fragile.
    All the morphine & haldol don't even touch her; she is motorized.

    ReplyDelete
  58. oh 'na you were far from friendly. you are a nasty, nasty person. Never be afraid to admit that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. But Kelly. that is you. You did quit.

    ReplyDelete
  60. What a wimpy little fire! Don't they usually have a huge tower??

    ReplyDelete
  61. Nothing worse, Petals. I really feel for you. Keep the faith, you'll get through it.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Jane wasn't there to make the fire! LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. So sorry to hear that Petals. Hang in there.

    ReplyDelete
  64. dont know what about you, but for me marty was he best competitor

    ben

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thanks e'one. I have always been the one that everyone else takes care of. Now I am the one doing the responsible thing. I am being a mother.
    Her disease caught up with her so quickly. 10 days ago, she was coherent, now she is veg.
    Sorry. Sorry to be a debby downer. I have no other outlet.
    Anyway - GO FABIO!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Ben - I think Marty and Brenda were actually the sharpest about the game ... but other factors did them in.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Here we go...final immunity! Wheee....

    ReplyDelete
  68. Nice change from the balancing plates and bowls and such challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  69. If Fabio wins this one, he deserves to win the whole shebang. Talk about winning when you REALLY need to!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Now that Holly is out Come on Fabio

    ReplyDelete
  71. I wonder if Chase or Holly now wish they had kept Dan...he would have been out on the 2nd coin.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I wonder if anyone has ever told Jeff to shush because he was disruting concentration

    ReplyDelete
  73. Joe, I am planning a trip to make snow angels in the near future, when things are finished here.
    Keep a spot available in your yard.

    YES!!! FABIO!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  74. YES!!! Fabio in the final 3!! I think the boy just won the game for himself!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Yay! Fabio! Fabio!

    ReplyDelete
  76. YAY FABIO! Three times in a row.

    ReplyDelete
  77. LMAO!!!! Way to go Fabio! Since the other 3 are responsible for most of the jury being on the jury, Fabio has a real chance at this.

    ReplyDelete
  78. its funny how before any finale the majority alliance never holds up until the end

    ben

    ReplyDelete
  79. I beleive Sash may be going home

    ReplyDelete
  80. Now Holly should really start to worry!

    ReplyDelete
  81. And the cannalbalism starts!

    ReplyDelete
  82. What game did those 3 morons think they were playing?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Such a pretty smile on Fabio's face. He knows bull when he hears it.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Fabio is having a ball. Hey, at least Chase was honest that Fabio would be gone.

    ReplyDelete
  85. They're all seriously kissing his butt.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Jane trusted Holly too, Fabio. Think!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Come to think of it, Fabio might well win against Sash. Sash po'd a lot of the jury.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Joyn-
    Sash has at least 4 votes on the jury- Purple Kelly, Nasty 'Na, Brenda and Marty.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I would think Fabio would stand a chance against any of the other 3. After all, they were a bit clumsy about how they played even though they sort of stayed together. After all, Sash was a late addition to that little group. I would think he would have the best chance with the jury since he could argue that his alliance (Brenda and Benry) got trashed and he managed to survive.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Keep Talking Sash, you are digging yourself deeper and deeper

    ReplyDelete
  91. OMG! The boys finally got smart! Sorry Holly...

    ReplyDelete
  92. He was smart to vote out Holly. She may have gotten the most votes from the jury.

    ReplyDelete
  93. As much as I hate to see Holly go I think they guys voted wisely.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Merilee, I don't know. Fabio may have earned some respect from the jurors by winning 3 comps in a row and Sash didn't come off too well in that tribal conversation.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Does Fabio resemble Hayden, the BB winner from this season?
    These shaggy boys got it going ON!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Sash only won one individual immunity. I don't think of him as a particularly good player, just a fairly good liar.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Chase literally just played dumb. A lot of stupid decisions thruout.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Seriously, I think the only person on the jury that didn't get along with Fabio is Nayonka. He played a great social game as well as a physical game. He deserves it most of the three in my opinion!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Chase can forget about Janes -- and probably Holly's vote. We know that Dan won't vote for Chase! Nasty Nay will not vote for Judd AKA Fabio.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Finally home. I'm rooting for Fabio, and I gave every vote I could for Jane to win the fan favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Becky, I disagree about Nay voting for Fabio. Chase is her boy, but she is an odd duck and who better to vote for Fabio, lol

    ReplyDelete
  102. Me too, Monty. Fabio to win and Jane for the crowd fave.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Why would Chase pick a fight with Marty on that question?

    ReplyDelete
  104. So far they are going after Chase and Sash. Does that mean that Fabio is out of the voting?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Because Chase is dumber than a box of hammers!

    ReplyDelete
  106. ohhh shades of Sue hawk here with Jane

    ReplyDelete
  107. Why the heck is Jane mad at Sash and not Chase? Chase was her buddy who threw her under the boss.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Sob story from Chase. @@

    ReplyDelete
  109. Joe - Chase knows he doesn't have Marty's vote, so why fall for Marty's trap and alienate another vote?

    ReplyDelete
  110. How are Sash's teeth so white after 39 days of not brushing? Seriously!!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Sue Hawk... was she the rat and the snake woman? Jane is angry but has every right to be. JMO

    ReplyDelete
  112. Sash is taking a beating...not quite sure why...

    ReplyDelete
  113. Ooh, a little snipe from Jane on Sash's mother. "I truly enjoyed meeting both of your parents."

    ReplyDelete
  114. Ork, agreed.
    GO FAB!!!
    (I wonder if Jimmy J will be at the winner ceremony?)
    And WTF is Dan bitching about? He is a billionaire gimp with an attitude! Go back to your Ferrari.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Dan: "Beauty fades, dumb is forever".
    No s***, Dan. You are living proof that Dumb is truly forever!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Boy, is Dan bitter or was he bitter?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Honestly, Sash is the ONLY one up there who outwitted and outplayed but will he outlast?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Not a dry eye on the jury afte Fabio's speech

    ReplyDelete
  119. Well, Kelly is truly an idiot too.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Really, what would a coattail like Kelly know about strategy?

    ReplyDelete
  121. Dan is bitter because he isn't part of the final 3 and they tossed him after riding coattails the entire game

    ReplyDelete
  122. Go Fabio.... He did outwit them all in a way, and he absolutely outplayed in the home stretch. If Chase or Sash win this, I'll be PO'd.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Hmmm...ya think Jeff is retiring?

    ReplyDelete
  124. Delee, I love your avi. I'm headed to warmth and palm trees as soon as the new year comes in. I can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Uh-oh -- Jeff will be making an announcement that will change the Survivor game forever? He better not be leaving!

    ReplyDelete
  126. Anyone want to place bets on Fabio's hair length at the award show?

    ReplyDelete
  127. Joe, I wondered the same thing.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I think Jeff's contract is up. I remember a few years back he only resigned for 2 or 3 years.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Silk-
    I say he got it cut!

    ReplyDelete
  130. Yay! l vote for Fabio

    ReplyDelete
  131. It is going to be between Chase and Fabio.

    ReplyDelete
  132. aha! Fabio DID cut his hair!!

    ReplyDelete
  133. Fabio played a great, clean game. GO FABIO!
    Is there an America's favorite this year?

    ReplyDelete
  134. This reunion show will be shorter than usual. Fabio looks good all cleaned up!

    ReplyDelete
  135. Whoa! Fabio looks exactly like my nephew!

    ReplyDelete
  136. I love to see them all with a little more weight on them!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Who are those three dudes? What have they done with the three we knew?

    ReplyDelete
  138. I will be disappointed if Sash wins. I just don't like his shifty ways.

    Wow! Fabio is good looking.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Come on Fabio

    ReplyDelete
  140. YAY!!!!!!!! Fabio WON!!

    ReplyDelete
  141. YES!!!!!! Fabio won!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  142. YAY... Partayyyyy at my house tonight. I guess they all had a reason to not vote Sash and it wasn't just Jane. Hmmm

    ReplyDelete
  143. LOL. Not the greatest winner in the history of Survivor, but one I can be satisfied with. I'd love to see him in the jungle with Parvati, Boston Rob and Russell...he'd be the first Survivor to actually end up on a spit over a fire...

    ReplyDelete
  144. I can totally see why parents want Nayonka fired! If she taught my kid I'd be driving that bandwagon!

    ReplyDelete
  145. FABIO MY BOY! A Missouri boy, my homey.

    ReplyDelete
  146. LOL. Not the greatest winner in the history of Survivor, but one I can be satisfied with. I'd love to see him in the jungle with Parvati, Boston Rob and Russell...he'd be the first Survivor to actually end up on a spit over a fire...

    You're to funny!!

    ReplyDelete
  147. I just think he was the best of what they had to work with.

    ReplyDelete
  148. i think it was not one of the best seasons of survivor. congrats fabio

    ReplyDelete
  149. Fabio aka Judd has a serious case of ADD

    ReplyDelete
  150. You're a hippy after my own heart, Fabio.

    ReplyDelete
  151. One vote. Has that ever happened before?

    ReplyDelete
  152. BF Joe - What a funny idea - I think Fabio is disarming enough to hold his own against Parvati & the rest of the evil clan. It'd be a fun watch!

    ReplyDelete
  153. Good, Brenda calling NaOnka out a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Let's see if Chase is any good at singing.

    Not bad at all!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I liked Chase, but he was a doormat for most of the game, or at least they edited him that way.

    ReplyDelete
  156. He really was wishy-washy all the way. Sash did have him pegged.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Sash definitely looks better with some weight on.

    ReplyDelete
  158. That's a nice thing for Holly to do. I remember when she drowned his shoes and thinking Holy Sh!t.... I love that they all seem to kiss and make up after the fact, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  159. Yes, Sash looks much better in non-gaunt mode, Jackie! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  160. OOOOHHHH! DRAMA quick, someone get the popcorn!

    ReplyDelete
  161. Yes, yes, yes.... no quitters on the jury!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  162. Jane and Marty didn't (and will never) kiss.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Good! No more quitters on the jury.

    And thank goodness, Jeff is not leaving. It would never be the same without him.

    Can't wait to hear what this "new" season holds for us.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Its about time that Survivor figures that one out. NaOnka and Kelly should have never had a vote on this jury. There should be no 'quit' in Survivor. JMO

    ReplyDelete
  165. Does anyone think that Jane will NOT win the Sprint vote?

    ReplyDelete
  166. I think that if people quit, the ones who are left should be able to vote someone back into the game. That would totally throw a huge wrench into the game!

    ReplyDelete
  167. Jane is crotchety but I still hope she wins it. She fought hard and long to stay. Wish I could do half of what she accomplished there.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Yes, well deserved....... Jane, you go girl!!!

    ReplyDelete
  169. it's Jane YAY!!!

    ReplyDelete
  170. I couldn't even think of anyone else I wanted to win it!

    ReplyDelete
  171. Jimmy T looks better with clean hair.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I LOVE BOSTON ROB!!!

    ReplyDelete
  173. Stop teasing us and tell us what is new next season. This better not be a buildup for some minor thing.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Hmmm ... big news ahead and Boston Rob is there? Other than the birth of his new daughter, news for the game.

    Hmmm ...

    ReplyDelete
  175. That's going to screw up a lot of people's game. Not sure I'll like this duel thing.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Not real crazy about the new twist.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Redemption Island, hmmmm.... Did they say where it's gonna be at?

    ReplyDelete
  178. 22 seasons... I wish I had started watching it sooner. loved seeing Cirie and Coach in the audience. And Boston Rob... :)

    ReplyDelete
  179. If voted off, goes to Redemption Island the 2nd voted off has duel with the first. Whoever wins the duel goes back to game. It continues thruout the game. Do I have that right?

    ReplyDelete
  180. Loved seeing Rufus too.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Two Rofus's (Roofus) in one day!

    ReplyDelete
  182. Petals, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. My heart goes out to you. It's very, very hard. Prayers coming your way.


    Was very happy Fabio won, but I think he's better off if he doesn't say anything - again! ;-)
    Who voted for who? Wasn't perfect win, but he did make his way to the top. He just makes me laugh - hard - when he talks. Definitely a bad case of ADD.

    Yay, Jane! She deserved it!

    I like the redemption Island thing. From what I get, yes, if you're voted out, you go to Redemption Island. The next person voted off, will join you and you both duel to stay in the game. Now, what I don't understand is, do they stay in the game by going back to the regular tribe, or do they stay on Redemption Island and dual each other until the end?

    Sounds exciting.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Jeff Probst said in an interview today that because of the Redemption Island duels between eliminated contestants, all of the reward/immunity challenges will be combined every week for the non-elim'd players. Will that mean that when the individual challenges start, whomever wins them, automatically wins reward and immunity? That kind of sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  184. BTW, congrats to ML and Zoetawny for winning the Survivor pool!

    ReplyDelete
  185. Let me just say now, I will comment later when I get a chance (if the blog post is still here-I've been MIA on here the whole season unfortunately), but hey Zoetawny our fabulous Fabio kicked some serious booty to win the whole thing!
    ML

    ReplyDelete
  186. Petals, I hope you see this...

    I came in late and didn't see your post about your mother. I lost my mother in September and my heart goes out to you. Hang in there and know that you are in my prayers. Prayers for momma too!!

    (((Petals)))
