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.
Remember to bring your drinks for SAM events -- every mention Phillip makes about being a SAM (special agent man), we drink. Even if it's close. I hope everyone has their designated drivers with them!
Tonight should be interesting with so many on Redemption Island!
Product placement phones with video. Yep, the loved ones call. Even Redemption Island got their calls.
Duel Time -- Winner will spend time with loved one in person. Breaking tiles. One goes home, three stay, winner gets loved one visit. Mike (not Matt) wins the duel and the visit! Matt and Ralph stay in and Steve goes home (jury).
Mike can visit his mom or give the Matt and Ralph their visits. Or ... he can let everyone on Ometape have a visit. He chose to give the visit to his enemies.
Tree mail - another immunity challenge ahead. Rob wants Andrea gone. Uh-oh, lots of stairs. Puzzle staircase risers, first one to solve it and build their stairs wins. Phillip, Ashley and Natalie won't win.
Rob wins!
Tribal Council -
The tally -- Andrea, Phillip, Andrea, Andrea, Andrea ... bye-bye Andrea. She's off to Redemption.
Hello Jackie... glad its finally Wednesday! YAY
ReplyDeleteGot my driver and my drinks ready. I brought some extras in case anyone forgets theirs. There's also some ultimate nachos over by the bar.
*splash*
ReplyDeleteI am sooo excited! Woohoo!! I brought Mojitos for the SAMy game.
That guarantees that no Zappetera will make it to the end, unless they mount an OZZY immunity run. That's if they even get back...
ReplyDeleteOh, hey Petals. Didn't see you there!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Mattie isnt all alone anymore. He was getting fried.
ReplyDeletemmmmm....thanks for the Nachos, Monty. They go perfect with Mojitos!
ReplyDeletemmm...Ozzy *sigh*. homina homina
ReplyDeleteWho else thinks Rob will be the first gone from Ometepe?
ReplyDeleteNothing against Boston Rob, but I'd be stunned if the rest are foolish enough to keep him around at this point.
ReplyDeleteNot me. I cannot imagine a Rob ousting.
ReplyDeleteANd worse, I am worried that SAM is gonna make it far. Grr. Yeah, he is entertaining but...pink underwear, feather? He is like a gay Indian superhero.
If Rob ever made it to the final two/three, he'd probably win if they based it on gameplay. He's in top form this season and his tribemates are dense.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe SAM could win it, but stranger things have happened, LOL. Family night is one of my fav episodes. I know some don't like it, but I do!
ReplyDeleteagree Jackie. He is really outplaying and all the other stuff.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Ralph, but I don't like him. :(
ReplyDeleteYay, go Matt! Damn, Ralph is going on too!
ReplyDeleteGO MATT!
ReplyDeleteGood man, Steve!
ReplyDeleteoooooo...hard call
ReplyDeletedont do it, Mike. Reward only the outcasts.
ReplyDeleteno shocker that SAM is single
ReplyDeletecome on matt!!! -jeannemarie
ReplyDeleteawww...goosebumps
ReplyDelete*sob*
ReplyDeleteHey, everyone! I was afraid I was going to miss the party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gesture from Mike. He just shot to my #2 favorite!
Don't know what to think of that, other than buying votes? Don't know what I would have done...
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't like Mike had a choice.
ReplyDeleteDang. Phillip isn't getting much face time yet. My drink is getting warm!
Jackie, I think we should toast Mike! Hey, any excuse will do.
ReplyDeleteI agree... CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteIf Mike just happens to get back in the game he earned some votes.
ReplyDeleteRalph is not only ugly look wise, he is ugly on the inside too.
ReplyDeleteAnd Matt is such a beautiful creature inside and out.
Everyone is enjoying their family -- except Rob. His mind is still on the game.
How many more games are left where he can play the II.
Monty, yes *drinking*
ReplyDeleteBecky, yes - love Matty!
Phillip is so confident. So arrogant.
ReplyDeleteit's usually like final 5, Becky but I don't know what RI will do to throw a wrench in normal?
ReplyDeleteThis looks grueling! ack
ReplyDeleteyikes, hard challenge.
ReplyDeleteRob - you are the MAN!!!
ReplyDeleteyeeeekkkkks.....drinking! (not cuzza SAMy, just too much tension!)
ReplyDeleteWTG Rob. Unreal. So deserves to win. I'd forgotten that he never actually won the big prize.
ReplyDeleteGrant is cool.
ReplyDeleteMatt's gf (what's her name?) is probably going home tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'd be dead by the second set of stairs in that heat.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I was thinking the same thing. I wouldnt last 10 minutes on Survivor.
ReplyDeletePetals and Jackie, aren't you glad we are too smart to even think about trying out?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - Strategy... sounds like drinking words to me!
ReplyDeleteIf they get rid of SAM, that leaves 3 women to 2 men. I don't know that I'd do that if I were Grant and Rob. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteNo ROB!
ReplyDeleteSAM is a royal PIA. If they are smart they will vote Andrea out. They can get Phillip next week.
ReplyDeleteBecky - yes. I will enjoy from the distance and luxury of my air-conditioned home & laptop, LOL
ReplyDeleteI do admire them tho. If I ever did a TV show, it'd be Jeopardy, and only Jeopardy.
ARMY - drink***
ReplyDeleteLet's drink!
ReplyDeleteDRINK!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes it count if Jeff says "IT"?
ReplyDeleteSAM SAM SAM
ReplyDeleteI'm home before the show is over for you all. Yaaay!!! I'm also hungry so I'll look for any leftover snacks you may have. I brought some sun tea. One thing we have plenty of right now in San Diego is sun and heat. It is cooling off now and should be back in the 80s tomorrow. So, now to read what's been now that Rob's minions have to eat one of their own!
ReplyDeleteWonder what SAM is drinking or what mirror is he lookiong into? No one can accuse him of low self esteem!
ReplyDeleteThat was smart!
ReplyDeleteAnd so they start eating their own.
ReplyDeleteNight folks.
ReplyDeleteshe wont survive redemption challenge.
ReplyDeleteGuess I need to save the Mojitos until next week. SAMy survives. Grr.
ReplyDeletePonderosa videos are up now on the site. I'll be curious to see how much weight Steve has lost. See all of you good people later. Night!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE SAMy GAME! I talk about it all week with my other Survivor friends. It is so fun! We need to do this every season.
ReplyDeleteg'nite guys. Back to tennis in Madrid.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms J!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIf Rob does make it to the final 3
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if they would vote for him to win. Will be interesting to see. The immunity challenge was something out of Biggest Loser.
hey all Mom & I are getting a late start. OMG Mike is sooo nice!! I'm sure Rob won't care the sacrifice he made.
ReplyDeleteIts one of my favorite show. I am very very excited to watch Survivor Episodes.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm arriving late, but hopefully someone will see this!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the tribe goes down to 3 players, will they bring the 3 back from RI?
I curious to see how it pans out. So far, I'm not a fan of RI. This season is a little lame.

lOVING MATT... Of course, he's my pool pick, but would love him anyway. If he doesn't make it to the end, he'll certainly get my vote for the hundred thou!
ReplyDeleteAnd as much as I hate to say it, I wouldn't count Andrea out on RI... She is GOOD in the competitions.
my wv is habra...
habra-cadabra - and Matt has WON!
