Survivors ready? It's almost time for the show to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll be updating this post with major events. But the real fun and active discussion can be found in the blog party comments. Stop on in and share your thoughts on the show!
Tonight's penultimate episode will pit Edna against Ozzy in the Redemption Island duel -- it would be a hoot if she beat him, wouldn't it? Plus, we'll know who's going into the battle to name the sole survivor (on Sunday night).
Survivors ready?
Redemption duel time -- slide puzzle, hatchet to release a rope, more puzzle. Shocker -- Ozzy wins again. Bye-bye, Edna.
Albert wants Sophie out to better his own chances with the jury. Coach is leaning towards Brandon. Heck, they should shock him and vote COACH off this time! Or not. I am actually liking him which wasn't possible in his two prior seasons.
Immunity challenge time -- climbing, puzzles, releasing bags, raising flag, Nothing new. The winner also gets pizza. Oh geez. Brandon won immunity. He chose Rick to join him saying he's playing wuth his heart as per is father's advice and it's strategy.
At tribal, Brandon gives his immunity necklace to Albert. @@
Time to tally the votes:
Brandon
Sophie
Brandon
Sophie
BRANDON!!
Woohoo, the zealot is voted out! He'll go to Redemption to face Ozzy.
Hey Jackie,
ReplyDeleteOnly tonight and Sunday left :(
~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~
ReplyDeleteWhoooooo! I'm drinking coconut daquiris tonight and looking forward to watching my sexy boyfriend kick some Edna a** !
Hey Jackie!
Drinking word?
Hey Monty!
ReplyDeleteNo.... :(
Hi folks.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe and Petals...
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking my Riesling again. I'm stocked up for the holidays, lol.
Hey Muffin!
ReplyDeleteThings are good today. I'm over my melancholy, for the most part. xoxox
I bet Rick leaves tonight...I already know who wins immunity, but I wont say.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the drinking word tonight? Down to five so it should get pretty interesting!
ReplyDeletenow that's odd. Can that be him talking about Sophie? Or are they toying with us? Why would Albert vote off the one person who's most loyal to him?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteImmunity seems to work, for a word.
ReplyDeleteor we can go with a name, like anytime someone says Brendan or Rick or whatever..
Joe - pick a drinking word for us?
Just to let folks know -- Penny (Nickelpeed) has to work tonight and is sorry she can't join us!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! Clue word?
ReplyDeleteA new Wednesday record. Joey made it until 8:04. My quest to turn him into a fan has failed miserably... sigh!
ReplyDeleteI think they did just say Sophie was next...I hope not.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky! Joe is supposed to pick a good word...
ReplyDeleteAw, will miss Penny tonight. Any thoughts on the word? I say immunity is a safe bet!
ReplyDelete... or trust?
ReplyDeleteMonty, 4 min? awwww
ReplyDeletePenny, we miss will you tonight. Thank goodness CBS isn't in the black out by Time Warner.
ReplyDeleteIMMUNITY!
ReplyDeleteWell, immunity works for me! ***DRINK***
ReplyDeleteWhere is Penny?
ReplyDeleteoh...just saw what Jackie wrote. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Becky!
ReplyDeleteGO OZZY! Vamos, baby!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy poor Edna... like a lamb being led to slaughter! Hope she makes it interesting, lol. Sorry Petals! ;)
ReplyDeletemonty - "stache" LMAO
ReplyDeletec'mon Edna! LOL. Next to Cochran, she'd be the person least likely to beat Ozzy.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Petals, nail biting time.
ReplyDeletedrink on "loyalty" :)
ReplyDeletes'ok, you guys can be against Ozzy. It's all fun.
ReplyDelete(but my boyfriend is a force with which to be reckoned!)
Go girl... a million riding on it!
ReplyDeleteooohh...."loyalty"
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks Joe.
C'MON OZZY! I'm with you, baby!!
ReplyDeleteI have decided, I am voting for Ozzie for America's player.
ReplyDeleteACK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDang, that means the Stache will win it, LOL
ReplyDeleteWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDelete*dancing*
THAT's what I'm talkin about!
GOOD! The previews made it look like Edna won.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to loyalty. Good word!
ReplyDeleteWTG Ozzy
ReplyDeleteCoach doesn't look as skeletor skinny this season. Good for him.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else checked out Ponderosa?
ReplyDeleteaww, thanks Becky, he really deserves it. He hasnt backstabbed or been mean to anyone...he wins & wins & wins. He has a right to have an attitude, the man is fierce!
ReplyDeletealmost time for the obligatory 3 minutes of Ozzy bragging on Ozzy....
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a typo, lol. What's her name on All-Stars Big Brother was tagged as skeletor. Coach looked like it from his other seasons.
ReplyDeleteHey Delee.
ReplyDeleteMOnty - LOL @ skeletor
Becky - no, what is going on over at the loveshack?
Becky,
ReplyDeleteI've been watching Ponderosa, but I missed Cochran's welcome videos. I'll have to catch up on that.
Joe - come on. How can you not love Ozzy? He is a great player, man. If you won challenge after challenge, wouldn't you have a little swagger?
ReplyDeleteDang, how did we miss honor and integrity?
ReplyDeleteshould have used "honor" and "integrity" as well as "loyalty"
ReplyDeleteMonty & Joe - they rarely use those words until tonight. LOL
ReplyDelete*drinking anyway*
Loyal... DRINK!
ReplyDeleteWHOO - LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
ReplyDelete"Ozzy's Pleasure Dome"
omg, classic
rewinding, gotta hear that again.
ReplyDeleteMy fantasy vacation destination:
ReplyDeleteOzzy's Pleasure Dome
*sigh*
- cue Joe gagging -
ReplyDeleteWhat was fun about Ponderosa was watching Conkcran arrive. No one even met him when he arrived. And he thought all would be forgiven.
ReplyDeleteTake back what I said, Coach is really skinny again. His face is hiding it more though.
ReplyDeleteJackie - Sophie is your pool girl, right? I hope she makes it to the final.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the shi**y thing about Ponderosa. When they shun the new arrival, it's so juvenile. Amazing how grown adults can't accept the fact that they 'got - got'!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sophie is my blog pool person. Plus, I think she's playing a decent game.
ReplyDeleteBrendan skeeves me. Ick
ReplyDeleteSophie is cool. I hope she is 1st runner-up.
ReplyDeleteI say Brandon is in the best physical shape. This could be his immunity. UGH
ReplyDeleteoooo...lots of time for plotting and scheming after the challenge
ReplyDeleteCome on COACH
ReplyDeleteRalphhhhh
ReplyDeletelmao. that'll make it interesting...
ReplyDeleteGood for Rick. He gets to eat, but that could be his ticket home to Redemption!
ReplyDeletethat's weird. I've hardly seen Brandon talk to Cowboy. Wonder why he picked him
ReplyDeletehonestly, I'd be happy with any of the remaining winning. I'd prefer Coach or Sophie because I think they played the best game. But I could live with any of them.
ReplyDeleteMonty, I think you are correct about the ticket to RI for Rick.
ReplyDeleteI would NOT want the "honor" of being chosen to eat.
voting 13
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Coach, Rick or Sophie win it. Not so much Brandon, Albert or Ozzy!
ReplyDeleteBrandon will bust this out at tribal. Drinky time!
ReplyDeletethat's odd. I thought Sophie was buddies with Albert, at least a little. They seem to always be together.
ReplyDeleteSide boob blur
ReplyDeletedo you think Sophie did that on purpose? She had to know Brandon would spill it.
ReplyDeleteSophie is hard to read...I know how tonight ends...but Hm
ReplyDeleteBrandon, you are the ONLY wild card!
ReplyDeleteSee?????
ReplyDeleteoooooo.....Jeff teased last week that this would be the best tribal council of the season. I bet he does give him the necklace and they vote him out!!!
ReplyDeletethere is a condom called "pleasure dome".
ReplyDelete*sigh*
that's weird. I hear Brandon saying not me and not Albert, so who does he want to go? Rick? Sophie?
ReplyDeleteBuh Bye Rick!
ReplyDeleteVote him OUT!!!
ReplyDeleteBrendan treated Rick like a cheap date: took him on a pizza date, then forked him at the end of the night.
ReplyDeleteBrandon is totally bonkers!
ReplyDeleteBecause God has nothing better to do than play Survivor with Coach & Brendan
ReplyDeleteI'm DRINKING
ReplyDeleteHis Dad & Uncle are going to be pissed at Brandon. Gonna be a tough Christmas at the Hantz household.
ReplyDeletegonna check-out the Ponderosa after tonight's show
ReplyDeletebefore the vote, what a tool
ReplyDeletesuch a mis-use of prayer just smacks so sacreligious to me.
ReplyDeleteDid he say "when I was in the gay scene"???
ReplyDeleteLmao... this is a GREAT tribal!
ReplyDeleteoh..."gang". LOL
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone believe Coach was told by God to vote out Brandon?
ReplyDeletethat's weird out of Albert. If he thought that Brandon, Coach and Albert were solid then Albert was in no danger. If Albert was in danger then so is Brandon. I'm disappointed that Jeff let Albert get away with that little dissemination.
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone!! Hope there is something left to drink this late in the show!! I really need to get off work earlier!
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the left coast
of course if Brandon comes back from Redemption Island it is going to be VERRY exciting!
ReplyDeleteGang scene... and he's G O N E!
ReplyDeleteyou've got to wonder about CBS sending Brandon out there with all his demons.
ReplyDeleteHey Sue! Have a coconut daquiri!
ReplyDeleteRick is leaving, not Brendan.
Joe - Brendan is good TV, demons or disorders, who cares.
ReplyDeleteSome deserve to go and Brandon was one of em! When will these players learn to hang on to the INecklace and to play the IIdol?
ReplyDeleteThanks Petals I really need one!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch this show later!!
SueGee
oh no, my spoiler is wrong!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I can believe Coach believes God wanted him to vote out Brandon. Lot of ways to read Brandon's move. After all, he made it possible to vote him out in a rather unnecessary gesture. (If Albert, Brandon and Coach were solid, Albert was safe.) You've got to figure it is kind of tough at this point for most of them. They've been a solid 5 since day 1 or 2. No good option. If Coach prays on who to send home...what's the answer?
ReplyDeleteRick is my pool guy!
ReplyDeleteI need another drink LOL
SueGee
OMG.
ReplyDeleteOMG.
He doesnt deserve to go to the Pleasure Dome. :(
I hope Ozzy wipes the floor with him.
oooo!! I can't wait for Sunday!! Will bring lots of food to make up for missing all these parties!!
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the Left Coast
I think if Brandon had any common sense at all he would NOT vote for Coach if he makes it to the finals.
ReplyDeleteI DO NOT believe that Coach is sincere about his "beliefs". He reminds me of what the Bible says about people standing on the corner beating their chest so people will think they are more holy that others.
I do not like him at all. I think Brandon is a misguided really screwed up person. And Joe I am with you that Poppa and Uncle will make Christmas miserable for him.
Petals, I'm not saying that watching someone come apart at the seams isn't good television. It's the morality of it that I wonder about. You could really do long-term damage to someone who is psychologically fragile by sending them out there.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Petals, my spoiler was right! LOL. And you aren't going to like what it said about next week!
SueGee, plenty of Riesling and Petals brought the liquor, lol. Help yourself. I think Brandon was a pure Dumbass for giving up immunity and deserved to be voted out. This God and Survivor vibe is creeping me out this season. Yes, I'm sure God has more important things to handle and not a reality show for a million dollars!
ReplyDeleteMy spoiler had Rick leaving.
ReplyDeleteBrendan cant beat Ozzy at anything, can he?
grrrr....
"Ozzy's Pleasure Dome"
(still loving that alot)
Uhm, Joe? Please send me the libnk of your spoiler.
ReplyDeleteNOW!
xoxo
Sue - yes, dig in to the alcomahol
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part of the show was "Ozzy's Pleasure Dome"
We need to have a huge party next week. Food, drinks, PARTY!
Actually, I think Coach is as sincere as any Christian. It would be pretty hard to fake it out there 24/7 for 6 weeks. But there are many Christians who wear their beliefs like some kind of badge and they often come across as insincere to people who don't wear their beliefs in the same manner.
ReplyDeleteYou can see it in Petals comment that "God has better things to do..." To many Christians, God is behind everything. He's God, he doesn't have to choose channels on the remote, he watches them all all the time. To me (and apparently Petals) praying to win a game seems a bit untoward. To Evangelicals, you pray on or for EVERYTHING.
Petals, you need to bring the alcomahol on Sunday night! No more Wednesday night parties at the Jackie Pool :(
ReplyDeleteI'll see everyone late on Sunday night. I never get home before nine. Sad :(
My muffin (Joe) has it right regarding my feeling toward prayer. I pray for direction, but not for a name to write on a challenge show.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course - I will stock the bar with alcomahol for Sunday!
Thanks Jackie!!!!
I think it trivializes the divine to apply it to reality television. Seriously folks. God doesn't "choose sides" even in wars. Certainly not in game and football. Anyone remember the Holocaust? If God had been "directing" Brandon he would surely have suggested he not be so impulsive to show off his own goodness by giving away his immunity BEFORE listening to the discussion and learning he was in deep doo doo himself. If he has listened, and trusted his own judgement, he might have reconsidered taking that necklace off his own neck....
ReplyDeleteOzzy deserves to win Survivor this year. Love the Pleasure Dome. Sophie was very smart in her analysis.
ReplyDeleteto anon
ReplyDeleteI'm as uncomfortable with you asserting that you know what God does or doesn't do as I am with people praying to win money.
