Happy Mother's Day to all my friends out there! I hope it's been a good one!
This is it! It's the first all women final five in the history of the show! For once in a reality television competition show, the women (kind of, sort of) stuck together. Who woulda thunk it? In the past on Survivor and other shows, the men are much better at actually staying with their bro'liances and the women tend to cat fight and backstab their sisters. Hmmm. I wonder why that is?
Not that this group is all that cohesive, mind you. Everything isn't hunky-dory or lovey-dovey. (I don't get to use those phrases enough in life!) But it's all women at the end and it's just a matter of which woman will win it all.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major happenings. The real fun, though, will be in the comments section. Please join in with your thoughts! Beverages, snacks and feasts befitting a Reward will be in ample supply!
Immunity is back up for grabs -- a balance beam maze, rope net, puzzle bags, solve a combination lock. Kim wins immunity!
Tribal Council -- Chelsea, Alicia, Chelsea, Alicia, Alicia. Karma got the gal and Colton's ally is done.
The Ritual Walk to the immunity challenge, remembering fallen castaways.
It's the final Immunity Challenge! They must maneuver bowls through a structure and stack them. Kim wins the final immunity!
Final TC and Christina's not even trying to stay! The tally -- Sabrina, Christina, Christina, Christina. It's fitting. She didn't even try.
It's time for the jury questioning. Like everything else this season, I don't expect it to be real exciting.
Opening statements, Chelsea up first. She spoke of her trust with Kim and how they did all the strategy moves together. Then she made excuses for voting the way they decided and played differently from the time she voted out Jonas.
Kim loves the game and thought she would play as hard as she could. She's proud of her strategic game, but sending each person home took a toll on her. She asks forgiveness from the jury.
Sabrina spoke of balance. She said that stepping down from challenges was a strategy and she played more of a social game by plan. She mentioned that she was laid off before coming to the show. (However, on the local news tonight, she talked about how her students are reacting to her on the show. She must have been rehired or taken on a new teaching position.)
Jonas is up first, lays out ground rules -- joking. He loves them all, talks about how badly Sabrina did in the challenges, but loves her. Chelsea is the hottest chick, asks her what her big game changing move was, answer was taking Kat out. Why Kim didn't take Christina. Thought that she would beat her if all mad about being voted out.
Christina up next. Kim thinks she would have a better chance of winning against Sabrina than Chelsea. "Chelsea, why do you hate people?" Oh my!
Jay up next. No hard feelings, you should be proud. Sabrina, did squat. Strategy? Yes, she thinks she's usually too overbearing, balance.
Mike -- Kim, define blindside. She does. Did you perfect the art? She claims Mike was the only guy Troy would be willing to send home.
Tarzan -- Um. Loves to use his extensive vocabulary and rambles about his wife's visit to the island. Um. Okay. Chelsea tears up.
Leif -- Still feels the sting of his exit. Kim says she didn't know if she could trust him. Sabrina admits "punking out."
Alicia -- Kim, we played similar, kingpins. I would have won.
Troyzan -- Beef with Kim, she played a great game. Moment she made the move to demolish his chances of winning. Answer, taking Jonas out. He says she got it wrong.
Kat -- All three hurt her very badly. Kim, I'm destroyed. She talks of open heart surgeries she's had and another ahead. She doesn't have time to be angry with them, she will vote on the best game. She's making more sense than she did all season ... tells all to vote on best game.
Troy votes Sabrina, Kat true to her own advice votes Kim. Those are the only two votes shown.
Off to New York City for the results. Final tally -- Kim, Sabrina, Kim, Sabrina, Kim, Kim, Kim ... KIM WINS THE SEASON, as it should be.
Kim, Tarzan, Troyzan and Chelsea were the ones in the running for the $100,000 fan award. Kim won that, too.
What kind of hairdo is that on Bill Posey? A mulfro? Combination mullet/afro.
They're headed to the Phillipines with three airlifted out ex-castaways. Ack. I'm sure that will include Colton. Sigh.

SPLASH!!! Hi Jackie!!
Hey there!
I really am happy that the women finally stayed together. How long have women been complaining that these women never stick together? It's just, who do we like to win??? LOL
*~*splash~*~
Hey guys!!!
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms, 4-legged babies included.
Grrrr....I hate hate hate Alicia. She truly thinks that this is "her" tribe.
I like Christina or Sabrina to win.
Happy Mothers' Day, ladies.
Kim really deserves to win. But this is a pretty boring season overall. More interested in the reunion show than anything that happens in the next two hours.
well you knew Chelsea was going to win as soon as they started talking about voting her out. LOL
I agree with Joe about both the boring aspect and Kim deserving the win -- she's been the most strategic and strong player all along. Since I found out on the local news tonight that Sabrina is actually a mistake contestant, it would be cool if she won. The show was trying to contact someone else with her name and met her, talked her into coming on. She's the local-ish gal, so therefore ...
Hey, everyone!
GO Sabrina!
she missed the cow skull
just anybody BUT Alicia, at this point.
what the heck are the other 2 doing?
how bad are Christina and Sabrina at competitions?
I hope Chelsea plays her II. This is the last chance.
I'm just NOT a Kim fan. Ick.
How are things by you, Becky?
I agree with you, Petals. Anybody but Alicia.
Hey everyone. I'm at the airport in Sacramento, waiting for a 6 pm flight home to San Diego. We had a lovely weekend with our older daughter and her boyfriend up here, including a day in Folsom but not in prison. Happy to head to cooler temps and overjoyed to have spent a Mother's Day with one of my 'kids' ...
~~Splash~~~
howdy everyone. I'll be in and out tonight as dinner is cooking here, but I brought you all some nachos and cold beer!!
SueGee on the left coast
Thanks for asking, Petals. I am exhausted. They moved Momma to rehab yesterday. We try to have a family member with her during the day because her dementia takes her places that scare her if she is alone. They are supposed to sedate her when the last family member leaves. They didn't one night and it was heck to pay for everyone - hospital staff and us. They haven't done THAT again.
Glad you weren't in prison, Laurie. BTW, thank you for doing the pool. And Jackie, thank you for hosting us.
Pool results:
Sabrina Thompson -- Leigh, meb
Kimberly Spradlin -- Dusty, rbennie
Christina Cha -- Buzzman, Ed in Ohio
Chelsea Meissner -- Brent McKee, Donna in FL, ML
Alicia Rosa --Ann, Laurie
Ponderosa
Jonas Otsuji -- dla, Sue Gee
Michael Jefferson -- Jackie, Nana in the NW
Jay Byars -- DKNYNC, Tammy
Leif Manson -- Estelle, PDX Granny
Troy Robertson -- Lynn1, Margo
Kat Edorsson -- Donna, Rochelle
Greg Smith -- Delee, Terry
I finally made it to the parTAY, but I'm not watching until the game is over with. It's a compromise thing, lol.
I brought Philly Cheesesteak sliders to go with the nachos and beer. Dig in!
Happy Mothers Day everyone :)
I'm not a big Kim fan either, like Chelsea and Sabrina - anyone but Alicia!!
Btw, I asked the Survivors Wed night if people really talk like Alicia and whats his name did to Christina and they say it happens all the time but never seems to make it to TV.
SueGee (who finally met Lex from the Africa season)
Her nurse told us that we could bring her dog to the hospital. Tommy brought him up there this afternoon. All her Mother's Day gifts were forgotten.
That's cool SueGee!
Happy Mother's Day moms!
Well, looks like Chelsea will leave next. I sure wish it was Kim. :-(
Becky, I hope your mom gets better soon. I can't imagine how hard it's been on you! Sending my prayers.
Off topic:
The game is over in BIG FASHION. Joey Votto walk off grand slam (his third home run of the game)!!!
Kat is having to sit next Tarzan! Funny!!!
Darn it, Google just kicked me off. Now I have to use anonymous until I can remember my password. :-(
So who's leaving, since I'm late to the party?
Oh forgot to say it's Penny who has to use anonymous until I can remember my password.
Yay, Joey Votto. He came through the Dayton Dragons. Great guy. Like him a lot.
Penny
Penny, you can put your name in black until you remember it.
Who's going to go?
Penny
We like him so much we the little man after him. :) ----->
if you're Chelsea, how can you not blame Kim for not giving you the idol
Alicia is taking way too much pleasure in it.
*named
HaHa, buh bye Alicia
ROFLOLOLOIL Bye, bye, witch. So much for YOUR game.
No shit, Kat. Do you finally realize that it was Troyzan telling you the truth and not Kim?
GOOD!!!!! Buh BYE, Alicia. So much for thinking you ran the island.
Well she stayed true to her nastiness on the way out. And, Christina voted to basically keep her. UGH
Guess Alicia isn't as smart as she thinks she is. What a biotch! Good riddance!!
So glad she's gone!!
Penny
I just think Christina is clueless. I'm surprised at her because Alicia treated her so badly. Ugh
Penny
I actually think that was possibly a mistake. Kim has to worry about bitterness on the jury. Chelsea is far more likeable than anyone. Christina is also likeable but viewed as inept. Frankly, I think Alicia makes for a better final 3 opponent than Chelsea.
I hope ANYONE takes Christina. She didnt offend anyone, and everyone hated her guts thru the whole show.She should win!
And Alicia thinks that Christina voted her ass out. @@ Dumbhole, it was your buddy Kim, who as it turns out, wasn't really your buddy. Idiot.
Yes to both Colton!
Didn't Kim say "sorry Mama" to Alicia on her way out? She has to know that Kim voted her out.
She should Joe, but she's been pretty dim witted at times.
GO CHRISTINA!
@ Joe, she thinks it was Christina judging by her exit speech. And Kim saying she was sorry obviously didn't register with Alicia that it was an admission of guilt, just sorrow.
sabrina sucks so bad at comps
Christina was supposed to go out about a hundred times and somehow survived. Maybe she has a chance??
SueGee
I really would like to see Christina win this
Damn IT!
OMgosh! She's just too good.
Cool challenge. Well, I guess we know who's going to win.
Yikes.
the more interesting question is who they vote out. Kim really doesn't want Chelsea there, I wouldn't think. I mean if it is Kim against Sabrina and Christina she should coast. Against Chelsea...???
kim has bitter jury
I don't know, but wouldn't Kim be better if she did not bring Chelsea? Sabrina didn't do anything and everyone has had problem with Christina. What do you all think?
Penny
Kim really cleaned up on challenges. She won almost all of them at then end when you need them most!
SueGee
yes, Kim has a bitter jury but they don't have a good alternative if Chelsea isn't there. They didn't like Christina at all, have never been sure why exactly. And Sabrina was a bit abrasive herself and useless in comps. Even with the bitterness I think Kim can beat them. Chelsea was actually well liked by the guys for most of the time.
agree chelsea should go
just roll over and die, why don't you, Christina?
Why is she not fighting. She hasn't fought the whole time. Come on Christina - fight. Geesh!
seriously, why would Sabrina want Chelsea there? If Christina had ANY game she could maybe work something.
if there were any doubt, I think they would have spent more than 2 minutes back at camp. LOL
Christina might get the male votes because they know the other girls didn't like her....
And if Kim keeps Chelsea & Sabrina she at least kept her word once!
SG on LC
They guys didn't like Christina either, SueGee
Yes, she does. My computer froze up when I was talking to my son. I almost never got AOL closed, but finally did.
I hope Christina stays, but it doesn't look like it.
I think with Christina, she was so good natured, she was easy pickings. They had to target someone, it was her. She was subdued, she never tried to change any one's mind. They look at that as a weakness.
She actually thinks Alicia was an alliance?
Penny
the way the jury is reacting to Christina, she now is exactly who you want to take with you.
Very predictable at this point
this really was a pretty lame cast. You'd think after all these years they could find real players out there. About the most interesting thing that happened the whole time is when the dumb ass men decided to go to tribal council after they WON immunity.
I bet Russel Hantz is sitting at home wishing he was out there with those 16 bozos.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz!!
why show jury votes only 4 of them
Agree 100% Joe!
Very lame cast for sure! Been a struggle but Survivor is also a big habit LOL
SueGee
did sab. say stratgy was do nothing
Sabrina must have gotten her job back. On the local news tonight she spoke of how her students were reacting to her on the show.
Miss all of the talk. My daughter called.
Penny
I missed all three speaches. Caught the last part of Sabrina's. Momma called in a panic and could not hear me questioning her at the top of my lungs. I almost never got through to the nurses station. The operator finally paged them. They are in with her now. They will call me back. I know this is off topic, but I was in a panic myself by the time a nurse answered the phone. I told her to check on her, give her something to help her sleep and call me back. So, who gave the best speech in your honest opion.
I thought Tarzan was a senior citizen?
Jonas is doing well with his questioning. I wish he would have stayed longer.
OMG! How arrogant!!!! She is so sure! She's probably right.
Oh gosh, Becky. I hope your momma is okay.
Michael's was a good talk. Hope he made them all think.
Tarzan trying to get his disco boots on at Ponderosa was hilarious. Troyzan told him he knew he was out there, when he was out there, but you are OUT THERE, lol
I brought some strawberry shortcake...need some sweets during the jury part LOL
SueGee
How scary Becky. I hope things settle down soon.
SueGee
No excitement. Come on people.
I can't believe the egos on these BOZOS
Alicia is completely delusional
She's so full of it.
Still no excitement.
Alicia lives in another world!
Grr.. still hate Alicia. She truly still believes she is running this show.
Troyzan is strange
Why is this the Jury's story tonight? We've never seen this kind of questioning before. Wierd...
wow, look at Kat stepping up and being the adult in the room.
kim's got it
Kat should have used THAT mind to play the game!
Very different jury question. It makes me wonder who will win.
Kim played the best game, even if I did not like her personally. I don't care for ram-rodders, even if they are from TX.
I agree with you, Jackie. I also agree with those who were not impressed with this bunch of people.
Troyzan, you are weird.
Troyzan, you're a douchebag. Seriously. Sabrina???? @@
I'm hoping Colton keeps his mouth shut.
Did Kim shave?
Not for nothing, but now that I'm thinking about it, how could Kat have had open heart surgery and no scar?
ewww...I forgot we're gonna have to see CoCo. Yuck.
Well, if Kim wins, they all gave it to her. They could have taken her out. It would have been a good move. But, no, they kept her and will lose out.
I always love to see them all after they've been out of the game and put a little weight back on.
Becky - LOL!!! Maybe with the prize money she can get electrolysis.
I thought the same thing Joe
No, she didn't. And Penny I hope they gag Colton.
No Chelsea at all yet. Kim is very sure.
WOW! Chelsea didn't get any votes.
Anything else would have been completely unsatisfying. But I must admit that Sabrina getting more votes than Chelsea is ridiculous.
Very predictable. They gave it to her. She played the best.
Ugh, there's Colton.
Be honest... nobody saw that coming, did ya? lol
Of course, I guess anyone who hated Kim also blamed Chelsea so Sabrina got the anti-Kim votes.
The reunion show is likely to be more interesting than about the last month of this show.
Oh, please, do NOT make this show about Colton. Please! Ugh, UGh, UGH!
Good point Joe, but she probably just got her own history WRONG. We are talking about Kat, you know?!!!
He cut his hair!!!
LOL Monty.
I'm with you, Penny! I hate that he is getting so much attention for being a bigoted, racist, childish, preening BRAT!
Re Kat surgery scar: There are two types of open heart surgery scars. The thoracotomy scar is a result from an incision under the arm from the back to the side of the chest.
The sternotomy scar is a vertical scar on the middle of the chest.
The former would not show as much.
blech!
OMGosh! Just give it up Colton. Go away!
No, no, NOOOOOOOO. Do NOT let him play again. I don't care how entertaining he is, I DO NOT want him on another show!!!!
I hope they don't bring him back.
Please go on to someone else. We are SICK of Colton. And bringing him back - I definitely would not watch.
(Most racists deny that they are racist. They think they're just realistic. Sorry, Colton. I don't buy it.)
But, you know. A strictly villains show would be interesting. All villains. The worst, nastiest players ever. It would be great to see how they back stab each other. One good turn deserves another.
Penny
I believe that Colton is just like he was on the show. He is a jerk.
Agree with you Silk. He showed his bad side. And, I do not buy what he's trying to sell.
Oh, Penny that is a good idea. Let them pick on each other.
I think he is, too, Becky
I love the reaction of these people when they get called out and in trouble or things they say. It serves them right.
ooops *for* the things they say.
Alicia could be on an all villian show too. She was really dislikeable.
I missed her comment. I was on the phone with Momma. She is okay.
Happy to hear your Mom is doing okay Becky.
Wow!!
Ugh!!!
He was and still is NOT like Richard Hatch. He was not good. Very arrogant.
I liked Leif.
I'm glad your mom's okay, Becky.
What kind of hairdo is that on Bill Posey? A mulfro? Combination mullet/afro.
I'm glad to hear your Mom is okay, Becky.
That's what I said earlier, Jackie. Bad hair day for sure!
Hope it's not Colton. Please do not let it be Colton.
Who do you all think is coming back?
Been fun. Thank you Jackie!!!
You know Colton will be back with that lead in! Mulfro, love it Jackie!
My guess would be from recent seasons: Colton, Papa Smurf (or whatever his name was), Jonathan from Fans vs. Favs....
Any others?
I will see you on Big Brother. Thanks, Jackie.
Take care all and will see you next season. Bring on Big Brother!!!
Thanks for hosting us, Jackie!
I'm sure we'll see Colton again. Sigh.
On the other hand ... I want to thank you all for making this lackluster season still fun nights here on the blog!
Thanks for all the comments on Momma. Happy Mother's Day.
Yay, I get bragging rights!!!!
Thanks for doing this year after year, Jackie.
Congrats to Dusty and rbennie! You two win bragging rights. Use them well.
This had to be the most boring season of all. I watched hoping for something to get exciting. Come on, if it doesn't improve, I don't think it will last on the air. Everyone this season had to be pretty stupid. So like I said, one word...."Boring"!
As an FYI, apparently most of America thought this season was boring as well. The Survivor finale drew the least amount of viewers ever for a Survivor finale.
I do wonder how much the series finale of Desperate Housewives may/may not have played into that?
