The show will be starting in about five minutes here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this post with major news while sharing some opinions on what I see both here and in comments. Of course, the comments area is where the real party is! Everyone is welcome to join in, the water's fine! Oh. And bring snacks. Snacks are always good.
Apparently the person winning the duel ends up dueling everyone who comes there before returning. Two people from each tribe are getting a trip there. The duel is just another challenge. No jousting or swords. Rats.
Matt won. Francesca is going home.
Zapetera threw Immunity/Reward in a plot to boot Russell.
Russell is reminding me of Charlie Sheen and his "goddesses."
3-way tie - Ralph, Stephanie and Russell. Re-vote.
Russell voted to Redemption Island.
Beverages over by the bar, beer in hand, and sitting on the side with toes in water. Ahhh, the pool feels fine!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie!
*splash* Hey Jackie, Monty & E'one!
ReplyDelete(Team Charlie)
ReplyDeleteReady for the duel?
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteHi Petals xoxo
ReplyDeleteBoyfriend. How's Keira?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what the 'duel' will be...
ReplyDeleteHey, everyone! Are you ready for the game of chasers -- you know everytime SAM (Secret Agent Man) tells us that he was a former special agent?
ReplyDeleteYes, Jackie - ready to see what the "redemption" part is. Maybe like Real World/Road Rules Challenge duels?
ReplyDeleteBecky, oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteI am ready, LOL
Ready Becky! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI still think that wasn't that great a move by Rob. I mean flushing the idol was good, but he made an enemy out of Ashley for no reason and is playing too far out front. (IMHO)
ReplyDeleteBecky, I think any reference to Phillips former "career" counts as a drink!
ReplyDeleteYa know, these two duelers are kinda equally matched, physically.
ReplyDeleteoops, I mean Andrea, not Ashley
ReplyDeleteKiera update, Joe
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joe. Way out front!
ReplyDeleteKeira is a She-Devil and she is taking over. Willie is a Saint for putting up with her crap. She's taking to jumping on his tail to try and get him to chase her. He just ignores her. She even barks at him. He ignores her. Amazing really, since he's had bullying problem with puppies in the past. She's totally dominating him.
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of the mistake he made in Heroes v. Villains. Russell plays out front. Rob plays out front. They both end up targets. Still don't know how Russell managed to survive. He likes alliances of 3 but that just isn't enough numbers but he somehow makes it work.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. They get to watch the duel.
ReplyDeleteAww.. that is so sweet. Willie loves her like a bratty lil sister.
ReplyDeleteTake more pics for FB, K?
Bash is also developing into a brat. But a cute one.
"Island Boyfriend" LOL
ReplyDeleteSchnauzer's are generally very "self-confident" as are female Newfs. No getting away from genetics.
ReplyDeleteI have Francesqwah in the pool, but Matt is better looking. Go...winner!
ReplyDeleteHopefully all the extra time required for the duel means we don't have to endure any more flashbacks to former contestants who needed redemption. LOL. Those spots were so forced and lame.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Those sticks are barely hanging in there.
ReplyDeleteMatt is all but out.
Guess Matt was never a Boy Scout!
ReplyDeletenice come back
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it had been 2 guys if the challenge would have been physical?
ReplyDeleteI was on the edge of my chair. Great challenge, and go Matt.
ReplyDeletewoohooo!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge.
I can root for Russell now.
That's a little cold, Jeff.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm so glad that Matt won Redemption!
ReplyDeleteJoe, I know, right?? He may as well have said, " Dont let the door hit ya"
ReplyDeletewhat good would lying to Russell about who went home do? They were both from the other tribe anyway.
ReplyDeleteI just love when people tell lies that have no purpose. Happens on BB all the time, also. Non-strategic lies are just a wasted effort that can come back to bite you when the truth comes out.
What would telling Russell that lie do for their game? Just wondering...
ReplyDeleteLOL... Joe, we had the same thought.
ReplyDeleteHey Dee & Joy!
ReplyDeleteNow get ready for the SAM shot game!
Great minds, Monty! LOL
ReplyDeleteFrankly, obsessing over Russell plays right into Russell's hands.
What dummys. Russell will see who went home at the next challenge.
ReplyDeleteGO RUSSELL!
you mean unlike you, Gary?
ReplyDeleteJoe and Monty, I agree with you. It was an unnecessary lie.
ReplyDeletePetals, he won't know until he gets to Redemption Island. Don't curse our boy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Matt has to stay at redemption island?? I thought he got to go back to his tribe.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready, Petals. Haven't had a good drunk in many, many years.
ReplyDeleteIck!!
ReplyDeletesomeone will leak it to Russell about throwing it.
ReplyDeleteI need a drink! Make Phillip talk.
ReplyDeletexoxo BFnNY
ReplyDeleteDidn't one tribe throw one once and then lose like 4 in a row? It is so effing funny: Russell schemes, Russell undermines the tribe, etc....that's all they say. But Russell isn't the one considering throwing the challenge.
ReplyDeletega-ROSS challenge. Spitting?
ReplyDeleteToo much to hope for that Russell will be voted off tonight. If it happens, I hope Matt kicks his stinky butt!
ReplyDeleteAnother recycled challenge, but I like this one. (:
ReplyDeleteThese people are worse than Russell. I'm glad they think they are so morally superior.
ReplyDeleteCome on Russell, you need to work your magic right here!
ReplyDeleteRight on, Russell!
ReplyDeleteYes, Russell... you are dealing with a bunch of bitches!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Monty - I almost wrote that exact sentence. What are you, psychic?
ReplyDeleteIf they do send Russell off, the other tribe may soon think of doing the same for Rob. The two of them on Redemption? That will be one he** of a show!
ReplyDeleteI wish, Petals! lol
ReplyDeleteEffin A, ROB!!!! You are a bloodhound, man!
ReplyDeleteRob playing a 'Russell' game, I love it!
ReplyDeleteRight under secret agent man's butt. Glad he's retired!
ReplyDeleteLOL @Joyn
ReplyDeleteThat older chick on Russells tribe, the one that looks like a Cabbage patch kid, she could flip.
ReplyDeleteLOL, joyn, could it be any more poetic than Special Agent was sitting on the clue? Bet he didn't solve a lot of crimes...LMAO
ReplyDeleteJulie is a Cabbage Patch or , like, and carved apple head. But as long as she flips, I dont care.
ReplyDeleteRussell rocks!
I'm about to break the 'edge' of this chair!!!
ReplyDeletesame here, Monty
ReplyDeleteRussell is the Dr Will of Survivor. A puppetmaster.
ReplyDeleteauugghhH!! I am having my shot now!
ReplyDeleteI really think they are stupid. They are so obsessing over Russell it's like Boston Rob and the other tribe don't exist.
ReplyDeleteCBS is playing me like a fiddle.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying...
ReplyDeleteRalph can't spell either, LOL!
ReplyDeleteAAAGGHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteuhoh
OH MY GOD! I'M DYING!
ReplyDeleteSo Russell will come back & beat Matt @ Redemption.
ReplyDeleteGrrrrrr
OMG
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he was so p*o and leaked to the blog.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord... gahhhhh
ReplyDeleteRussell - Y-E-S!!!! For now, anyway.
ReplyDeleteJoe, if we were in the same room, I would have been anxiety-punching you.
ReplyDeletewanna bet they go on a big losing streak now?
ReplyDeleteHis alleged leaks weren't on this season...
ReplyDeleteSorry Joe and Petals. I will NOT be pulling for Russell at RI.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do, Joe! Ashley's on Rob's tribe, and I'd love to them go one a little tear now!
ReplyDeleteBecky, what blog?
ReplyDeleteJoe, they were done with this season when he leaked the prior one.
ReplyDeleteHate to leave good company but I need to let DH have the computer. I'll e-see some of you Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'm depressed! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat leaks? I want spoilers!
ReplyDeleteSucks had the leaks for both of his last two seasons. No one knows for sure were the leaks came from, though.
ReplyDeleteMatt is younger and stronger. Might not be as easy as Russell thinks. Matt wants back with the tribe pretty badly himself.
ReplyDeleteBF - Bash & Keira will love one another. xoxox
ReplyDeleteRussell denies the leaks but laughs everytime he's asked if it was him. I don't doubt for a minute this sore loser would leak everything he knows.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate that Steve guy! Russell, I hope you come back to bite their tails! This is going to be so boring without Russell. Love him or hate him, he gave some life to an otherwise boring tribe. Rob will eat them alive!
ReplyDeleteWatching it right now! :)
ReplyDeleteWatching Russell and his women is making me think of Charlie Sheen and his "goddesses".
ReplyDeleteSome women really make the rest of us look bad, ya know?
So true, Lifeguard Laurie! So true!
ReplyDelete**Pool Update**
ReplyDeleteWhat is Russell gonna do for food?? How is is gonna survive without his posse?? Is it just me or were his pits gross. eeewwwww.
Sorry to see ya go Fransequa.

Russell Hantz - Margo
Dead & Buried
Francesca Hogi - Petals, ML
Margo aka The Lifeguard
Dead and buried. That's just brutal Margo lol. But it's all good. Although I liked Francesca as a person, she had no game. Petals and I are both happy with Matt staying I think. I just hope he can beat Russell next week at Redemption (sorry Petals). Russell's game seems to be getting old, too. I don't see how they can ever bring Russell or Rob back again if they lose this time.
ReplyDeleteSo far I do like Rob though. No one will probably even read this it's so late, but does anyone else notice Rob's 'Godfatherly' ways with the tribe members like his whole putting his right hand on the shoulder of who he wanted Phillip to vote for last week like it was the signal for a hit? He is a character.
ML
ML, I thought the same thing about Rob.
ReplyDeleteMy word verification is "ectlumps." Sounds like something you'd see on Russell's pits. Ugh!
Caraleigh
Just trying something here.
ReplyDeleteIt worked. Finally got a pic up.
