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.
At least Matt is smart enough to realize he's stupid!
I find Rob entertaining to watch on the show. But why in hell are these fools trusting him? Don't they remember Lex?
Interesting multi-part immunity challenge -- digging up a club, untie knots, smash tile. First six move on. Eww ... submerge head in trough, go through obstacles, spit to fill tube. Three move on to puzzle. David, Grant, Mike in final round.
Rob looks nervous.
Grant wins immunity!
Huh, not a half-hour into things and we have Tribal Council?
Vote tally: Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike ... Mariano's Mafia does the kill.
Rob told us he wants the final three to be himself, Phillip and Natalie.
Second immunity -- hang from a bar as long as you can, after 20 minutes, by legs only. Cheeseburgers -- white rock, black rock. Black means play, white means eat. Phillip and Steve choose to eat.
Rob's out first! Down to three Ometepe women and David.
David is out! ("That leg's going to be decapitated!," Phillip told him.)
Andrea won after the other two jumped.
Rob told his tribe not to eat the dead fish that Zapeteras caught in a net. Grant nibbles. Uh-oh.
Second Tribal Council. Phillip still with his feather and funny stuff.
The vote tally: Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, David, David, David, David, David, David ... bye, David! Mariano Mafia hit will go swim with the fishes on Redemption Island.
Then there were three on Redemption Island. Interesting, ain't it?
Yay, its finally springtime in my hood. In honor of it, I have a big ole watermelon to share.
ReplyDeleteDiving in...
Can't believe I'm first. Howdy Jackie! :)
ReplyDeleteWaving! Yes, Matt ... you should feel naive and stupid!
ReplyDeleteMatt is so sweet and so gullible. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of watermelon to put away between two of us, lol. Hope some others show up. :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, if he makes it back into the game, he'll be wiser.
ReplyDeleteHey all, only here for a quickie comment. They're showing too much Matt; I hope that doesn't mean he loses his next face off.
ReplyDeleteML
Its probably too late for Matt to wise up. The rest of the tribe will always see him as expendable. :(
ReplyDeleteJust a quick check-in from San Diego and then I'm headed home. I'll grab some watermelon to take with me!
ReplyDeleteRalph, you dork... that's the game of Survivor. You went in without the numbers. Duh!
ReplyDeleteHelp yourself Laurie! :)
ReplyDeleteOnly half of it is spiked, ;)
ReplyDeleteOh God, SAM is going to get me drunk again. Love the feather.
ReplyDeleteHey, all. Love watermelon! I still can't believe that they sent Matt back to RI.
ReplyDeleteI would like to pose a question. I think that anytime Phillip opens his mouth with some of his "stuff", even if it isn't SAM that we should drink!
Rob's probably going to get blindsided tonight. At least that's what the previews are leading to. Like this challenge, but I hate the water spitting part. Ewww
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDelete*splash*
ReplyDeleteGreat watermelon Monty!
Sure Becky... I'll just type from the floor. It will be safer that way.
ReplyDeleteSo we can eat a slice of watermelon for SAM? Anytime he "Phillips-Out" on something, I'm drinking/eating.
ReplyDeleteI am getting a little "off" on Rob. If he spearheads voting out one of his own I will disown him.
ReplyDeleteSweet for Grant. So hot and they barely show him. hmmm... he could go far, I think.
ReplyDeleteYeah, let's go with a slice of watermelon this week. And save the drinking for SAM. Monty, I would hate to se you on the floor. And since I really am a light drinker I would beside you.
ReplyDeleteYes, drink and eat all we want. Hey Petals!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I find Phillip oddly amusing while I loathed Coach? Maybe Coach cried too much. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteIt's so early. Are they going to have an RI duel tonight?
ReplyDeleteML
Rob's showing his cocky side. Not good.
ReplyDeleteRob's got 'em on lockdown. Fun-NY!!
ReplyDeleteWhoever gets voted out tonight will duel with Matt next week, no?
ReplyDeleteIts okay Becky, I have a long keyboard cord. :) Problem is, the couch will be blocking my view, lol. Phillip is my HERO, haha
ReplyDeleteJackie - Coach didnt just boast & bluster. He also had that whole Dragonmaster/yoga/Zen thing that was kinda cheesy.
ReplyDeleteBathroom buddies, is that really necessary?
ReplyDeleteI still dont know why everyone dislikes Matt.
ReplyDeleteDRINK!!
ReplyDeleteWho else is laughing out loud, for real???
Jackie, I agree on the Phillip/Coach question. I'm very amused with Phillip, but I was sort of with Coach too.
ReplyDeleteHey, he's talking lore... I'm drinking.
Hello baby. xoxox
ReplyDeleteDRINK!!!
ReplyDeletePhillip is a member of the family....he's the red-headed stepchild.
ReplyDeleteMike is right on.
ReplyDeleteDRINK!!!!!!
DRINK!!!
ReplyDeleteI think so, Joyn. I don't think they have time to do that tonight and another tribal on top... but I've been wrong before.
ReplyDeleteSpecial Agent... DRINK
SAM!
ReplyDeleteWe are not gonna be able to drive home after this TC.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of tired of Godfather Rob, but it is kind of nice to see the morons who threw the challenge to oust Russell get picked off. They had numbers and they gave it all away.
ReplyDeleteSAM is saved! Thank you tribe!
ReplyDeleteAnother week of SAM. I'll bring a bottle of my favorite port next week.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mike -- but it would be rather dull if Phillip went home. I agree that he is funnier to watch than Coach.
ReplyDelete?!?!? Another vote?
ReplyDeleteBFJOE!?
ReplyDeleteThey are fast-pacing this episode, aren't they? The duel and another vote.
ReplyDeleteHaha @Petals and I agree with you Joe. It serves them right and I believe we were all wishing for that the night they voted Russel out. Well, some of us. :)
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! Just stopping by to drop off a cold case of beer because it looks like you need some!! SAM
ReplyDeleteSue on the Left Coast
Sue, thanks! You'll see why, when you watch. Phil is tweaked.
ReplyDeleteI'd get along fine without Phillip, but he's just one of those WAMBER train wreck's that you love to have around for the blog.
ReplyDeleteSince they're going with the Godfather theme tonihgt:
ReplyDeleteRob is the Godfather
Grant is Tom Hagen (the Consigliere)
and philip?
Philip is Lucca Brazzi.
Monty - you are so right! But I hope Crazy SAM doesnt cruise to the end!
ReplyDeleteHaven't been here in a long time. I miss the luxury challenges. I get bored with the one on one challenges to get back in the game.
ReplyDeleteI suppose Ralph and SAM are going to become BFF's by the look of this. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteCoach was supposed to show up to one of our Survivor viewing parties but hasn't made it yet...I really wanted to see if his head was bit as he thinks it is ROFL Most of the people that I have met that have been on Survivor or TAR are very nice and not on an ego trip.
ReplyDeleteSue
Brent, LOL. Phillip is a better Fredo - the loony brother!
ReplyDeletegirls should do well at this.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Brent. Petals, I don't think he has a hope in hell to make it to the end. Just a hunch.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they always choose the food? Do they not know that can be a sign of weakness? Ugh!
Did I miss the RI challenge? I went to get something to drink.
ReplyDeleteThat HAS to hurt so bad.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was MUCH younger I could have done that.
ReplyDeleteJust joining the pool party and trying to catch up on the show. TiVoing through commercials and almost there.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read all your comments yet.
WTG girl power!
ReplyDeletePhillip cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteSo they are choosing to starve? Dumb.
ReplyDeleteWent back and read the comments. Brent, great 8:33 comment!
ReplyDeleteI bet that David bites bullet tonight.
Wouldn't it be funny if the winner at RI comes back in the game after the challenge.
geesh. Rob is in total control. The Boston Rob Show.
ReplyDeleteI am drinking!
ReplyDeleteRob is coming on a little too strong with even his own tribe.
ReplyDeleteRI = 3 person challenge???
ReplyDeleteOh, Phillip is getting me drunk AGAIN. :)
Probst loves to bait Phillip, LOL
ReplyDeleteSAM Stealth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff! Why sit out and eat?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that Rob kept them from eating.
ReplyDeleteHope they're smart and get rid of one of the Russell stabbers!
ReplyDeleteYikes. I like David. Poor Steve.
ReplyDeleteThe Godfather lives another day!
ReplyDeleteDid Zap ever win a challenge after they voted out Russell? Don't you know Russell is LHAO?
ReplyDeleteJackie, can we spend the night? I think we had too much SAM toasts.
Yes, Becky. We have plenty of room here.
ReplyDeleteRob is so entertaining... cocky yes and Phillip really spinning the tales!
ReplyDeleteIf it gets down to Ometepe final six, Rob will be in trouble. Grant already getting restless here and if Matt comes back, he's screwed.
ReplyDeleteNow there are 3 on RI...HUH! Matt Mike and David or am I confused!
ReplyDeleteCould there be a final three of all girls? Those girls rocked the challenge tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh great preview. SAM ramps it up a notch next week. Kissing my liver goodbye right now. :)
ReplyDeleteNight folks!
You're not Delee... I posed the same thought. That will be interesting. Probably not for Matt. :(
ReplyDeleteSooner or later they're going to have to realize they need to mutiny Rob.
ReplyDeleteThinking over the Godfather analogy in light of the second half of the episode, I'm beginning to wonder if Grant really is Tom Hagen. I think it's possible that he's Tessio instead and he just hasn't had the opportunity to express his inner Tessio-ness.
ReplyDeleteBrent - Too bad I don't have a "like" button on the comments!
ReplyDeleteWonder if Zapatera has finally realized that in throwing a comp an making the joint, and poor, decision to get rid of Russell they totally shot themselves in the foot and it has been downhill ever since. They were just too focused on getting rid of a shrewd and wily player. And look what it got them. Serves them right. I'm not a Russell fan but the guy knew a thing or two about strategy.
ReplyDeleteAnon - Plus, Russell wasn't too shabby at challenges, either. They created their own doom.
ReplyDeleteHi All
ReplyDeleteI can see a time when Philip and
Grant team up to get rid of Rob.
Rob has gotten for too cocky, allways like him
Times have changed
Estelle
I still say that Rob is playing an excellent game but, at this point, his cockiness may quickly be his undoing. Grant is noticibly perturbed about it. Ashley is making small moves without Rob. Grant may get into Phillip's head about getting Rob out soon and despite his SAM status, he seems easily led.
ReplyDeleteI'm having doubts that if Rob does somehow make it to the end, he will get the votes but he is playing a hell of a game and should win if he makes it that far. No one else on his tribe comes close to deserving a win. Just my opinion.
Wow, really excellent article on "Survivor: Redemption Island - 4/13 Episode Blog Party". Everyone will like it. I look forward more post from you. Thanks for sharing it.
