Survivor fans ready? I'm kind of wondering how the alpha male bonding between Jeff Kent and Penner is going to go. I can't really see them together in the long run like Richard Hatch and Rudy, can you?
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. However, as always, the real action is in the comments. Come join in, the pool is fine!
Espionage! Pete set up RC by putting the clue to the idol sticking out of her bag. Chaos ensues. Jeff, Penner and Carter formed an alliance on their tribe. The women know something's up.
Immunity challenge time! Carrying pots of rice on bamboo through an obstacle course, then smashing all six pots. First tribe finishing gets steak and spices. Second gets vegetables, salt and pepper and a pot. Both of the full tribes sit out their women. So it's all men against Malcolm, Denise and Russell.
Tandang won 1st place. Kalabaw won second. Sigh. Matsing loses once again despite a valiant effort. Kalabaw decided to trade their food for a tarp.
Tribal Council time. No backstabbing this time. Jeff tried to pit them against each other but the worst they could say about Denise is that she's fantastic.
The tally: Russell, Malcolm, Russell.
He was my pool pick, but that's fine with me. I think Denise is fantastic!
Huh. Russell thinks he was blindsided when he was the weakest link in almost all the challenges. @@

I've got wine and a hot tub. Too cold for swimming tonight!
Hey Jackie and all....
Oh, I forgot...
GO LISA!!
skHiyas....
I actually made it tonight. Not sure how long I'll stay awake, so I'm going stay away from the water so I don't drown!
oops...somehow part of my captcha entered my post. Sorry!
Sorry ... turned off the captcha a bit late tonight! It's off now.
Hi everyone. Hope you are feeling better Jackie
Did anyone else see Malcolm's tweet last week? He tweeted: To all straight men everywhere: I'm sorry
LOL
I'm happy he voted Angie off the island. I get to root for someone else now. Hey Lynn and Sharon.
I still say Denise looks like David Bowie
I'm heeeerrrrrreeee! How's everyone doing?
That camp life sucks!
~*~ splish ~*~ into hot tub
Hey Monty, Hey Ms J &
everyone!
Sometimes I can't like Russell, and other times I can't remember why I don't like Russell.
Hi everybody!
Monty a glass of wine & a hot tub sounds pretty good on a cool October night.
Oh, her name was Angie? HAHA - I just refer to her as "cookies"
I have a bottle of my fave port, which I LOVE on Autumn evenings - every feel free - (no cool snifters, tho. I stole a sleeve of dental rinse cups from my office)
Hey Penny, Petals and Ed. LOL @ Petals. Have you seen the banner at Joker's. Angie is Cookie Monster :))
Hey, Jackie and pool buddies.
I wonder how Mike is going to survive the season with all of his injuries.
Please Mike, do not fall in to the fire!!!
Penny
I have Pete in the pool. Not impressed.
I really don't like that RC chick.
Go Lisa & JP
I have Russel - VERY unimpressed
RC is my pool pick, but I'm secretly (well, not so secretly) rooting for Lisa.
I dunno Becky - Pete is pretty smart...shifty, rather.
Uhmmmm, cute and brains...
Hi folks.
Sorry, I've been sitting here and forgot to say "hello"!
Petals, he is Sneaky Pete.
Me too SharonS, rooting for Lisa! And my man JP (love him AND his Alda-voce
Hey gruesome-picture-man! *ahem*
That's Jeff. Plays this game the same way he played baseball - it was always about him. Penner and he make a good couple.
I don't know. I think I like RC more than Abi. They both give me the feeling that they will provide good times here at the pool, lol.
Where'd this blond kid come from that JP is talking to?
Late SPLASH! Hi kids!
Monty, haven't visited Jokers since BB ended. Need to go there, tho. "Cookies". Really? When that happened, my jaw dropped along with Jeff's.
Hey Joe. You snuck in there.
The kid is a girl. LOL
Penny - I don't follow baseball very much - which team was he?
We're seeing an awful lot of Penner's tribe tonight. Think they are heading for tribal?
The one out at the boat with him and the baseball guy?
OMG, I thought JP was talking to a blonde boy too! It is the tough chick, that has that sculpted short hairdo? OMG.
I think the sculpted chick was talking to the other girls...
H'lo Sydney
Mostly the Giants, I think.
Hot tub is getting to me. Have to stand up during the commercials...
You know I still am not even sure who the person is who I have. But i WILL be looking for the David Bowie person, lol
I brought a huge bowl of malted milk balls... blast from the past. Anyone want some?
Petals Jeff Kent played for quite a few teams;
Toronto Blue Jays
New York Mets
Cleveland Indians
San Francisco Giants
Houston Astros
Los Angeles Dodgers
Petals, Jeff Kent was with a lot of teams, but most known for his years with the SF Giants.
They could totally throw it and get rid of Russell. Of course, they would have to hope for a tribe switch up.
It's about time Russell started looking for it, ya think?
OK, thanks guys (re: baseball)
And Jeff Kent had somewhat of a reputation for not getting along with some of his team mates.
This is too funny. They're looking for the idol that he's been to dumb to look for.
Petals - Jeff Kent played on a lot of teams. One team was the Giants; and he's the all time leader of home runs as a second baseman. He wasn't really liked by his team mates, that's why he was traded so often. Very determined and driven guy. Nothing wrong with that, but he was never a team player.
That tribe deserves to be decimated. They've been losing every frigging comp and they spend all their free time plotting against each other. WTF? There's THREE of you left...try and hang together.
aww - I didnt want to see lil caterpillar die...
In baseball circles, he's known as a jerk. Just sayin' :)
Cat fight! YES
I agree, Joe. They're stooges.
Ooops, I just realized others answered the question about Jeff Kent. LOL. He was with QUITE a few teams. He was good, but never got a long with people.
Go Lisa
Grr - now she turns to Lisa (while they've been treating her like roadkill thus far) Lisa is too nice.
Smart decision, Lisa. Let them cat fight it out. LOL
Well that was a new high (low?) in Survivor wildlife photography. LOL
Joe, I don't think they'd be plotting against each other so much if Russell wasn't Russell.
I am no fan of RC but I think Abi maybe a little bit psycho
Sharon S, I agree.
Agree with Lynn, too :)) I get an ick feeling with Abi. Drama, drama, drama
Oooooh, THAT is beautiful
OK, I've got Carter... hadta go back and look it up.
I agree with Lynn too
Sharon, they've been plotting against each other the whole time...and not just against Russell.
But even if it is true about Russell. So what? There's only 3 of you left, you have to try and win something as a team.
tritto re Abi: I think she has that "batty Brazilian" thing going.
(although, my lovely Janelle {BB queen} said she met her in LA, and liked her a lot)
Come on LISA!!! GO, GO, goooooooo
Come on Matsing!! You can do this.
ewww... that person is SOOOO butch!
Yeah, I think Abi is muy loco
Petals - I bet Janelle didn't have cause to see this side of her! eek
Ironically, it is Russell who is the weak link not the woman on that tribe
I don't know her name: gonna call her Dennis the Menace
Man! Late again! But I'm here and trying to catch up.
Sydney.. I love malt balls... Throw some over here please.
Wine is good Monty...
Carter = blond kid
I would really like to see Matsing do better.
wow - go Malcolm!
Sure, we never saw this blond guy and the only thing we'll know about him is that he's a klutz
go denise!
Matsing leading??? Am I colorblind or is this true?
Come on Denise, you can do this!!!!! Come on
THat blonde klutz is my Carter! no wonder I had no idea where he came was all this time
boy is FAST
smashing looks pretty easy
Go Malcom, come on guys!!! Don't want them to lose this time.
Sydney - I'm sure you're right.
AWESOME CAMERA WORK!!!
AMAZING
Son of a gun!
Wow....so close for Malcolm. Sad.
Geesh!!! Goodbye Russell!
wow! Lisa & JP are safe! Time for Russell to say buh bye!
OH SHUT UP
How come Russell always has energy left for tantrums but nothing for competitions...
Love that, he just called Jeff "Lord"
Russell is gone.
What a team!! Now who goes??
Russell is a joke!
Well, Russell - you are excellent. Excellent at losing challenges.
I really feel badly for Matsing. Really do.
I'd love to know what Russell thinks of himself watching this...
I mean he totally crawled at the end of the comp and just lay there the whole time Malcolm was competing. Then he starts smashing crap.
BRING THE PASSION TO THE COMP, ASS!
OMGosh, Dennis the Menace is ... scary (or maybe it was just the mud that caused her to walk like Popeye)
Petals said...
Well, Russell - you are excellent. Excellent at losing challenges.
LOL!
I don't feel badly for Matsing. They did it to themselves. They fought each other the whole time. They kept Russell for no apparent reason. Roxy was a good elimination. The other 2? There was no reason to keep Russell. He is physically weak despite his physique and he is disruptive to morale.
I would think, next week, they absorb the two left in Matsing in to the other tribes. TPTB will not keep the challenges to two people. I can't see them doing that.
Touche Joe in NY
Meb - Malt balls -How long since you had them? I am now addicted after getting a box about 4 months ago
Denise was balancing carefully, that's why her arms were out. I love her. She may be my favorite.
Denise is way tougher than Russell. I'm hoping she lasts a good long time. Even though Russell is my pool pick, I'm cheering on Denise!
I agree Nicklespeed the two who are left will probably be on the other two tribes.
i have to laugh that he's so oblivious to say sincerely, it could be me!
Syd -- I just bought a box of malted milk balls last week on a whim! Heavenly goodness.
the two "athletes"? Really, Russell? Da Nile is not just a river in Egypt...
He has sucked at every comp since day one...how can he not know that?
i love denise
They were fighting each other from the beginning. They should have followed their gut feeling about who to vote off. I just do not get Russell. He's a huge guy and Denise is little, but she carried her weight in the challenge. If they Malcolm votes Denise off, he deserves everything he gets. I was rooting for Russell, but he's been a disappointment.. For a big guy, he IS the weakest link. :-(
Russell's all talk!
Denise is definitely tres cool...
This music is comical. Who's going tonight?
I was thinking the same thing, Monty - that music!
They should all vote for each other and make it a 3 way tie!
But Russell...you put it on everyone else to do the job...EVERY time!!!
Each one thinks they are the "swing vote"! It will be one vote each, then decided by fire-starting?
I think Russell will go.
Russell never made it to the merge the first time. His social game sucks...I can't believe he thinks he's great at that also.
We need to hook up he and Phillipe in a battle of the crazies out there...
Honestly, Russell, you voted for MALCOLM? How the hell are you going to win anything without him?
Most light and FUN tribal ever :))
WHut whut???
I liked Russell better the first time around. Not now. He's a nice guy, but very weak.
HOORAYYYYYYYYY!!!
Russell really thought he had a chance?
Seriously, you couldn't see that coming Russell?
Bye bye Russell. Taken out the first time with a Medivac and this time by just being a really weak player.
Joe - right on! How funny would they be?
Welp, I'm outta da'pool! S'ok !
I never really liked Russell. He's always been a blowhard. But last time it at least seemed like he was helping the tribe. Somehow, he was totally useless this time.
He thought Malcolm was too big of a threat? LOL!!!!
See Ya!!
I will catch you guys later. Have a great night. LYM
I know he wanted to redeem himself, but he didn't. He was a completely different person this time around. Darn. However, I think Denise an Malcolm will be stronger now. I still think they'll be absorbed in to the other two groups.
Oh man, I am an hour late! So sorry!!

Night all!
I wonder how that tie would have been decided? They could have done the do over vote, but if they're all still tied would it have been rocks or fire? Hmmm... I'd like to know what Jeff would answer to that.
See some of you Sunday; and the rest next Wednesday.
Thank you, Jackie. Have a great weekend!!!
Yikes,who leaves next week???
What??? another medical evac?
Ooops, I meant, have a great week everyone!!!
Why did I think that Russel had the immunity idol?
disbelief till the end Russell? Thank you everyone. I'm leaving the rest of the milk balls for you Jax.
Who do you think will be evaced?????
On a good note... Petals and Jackie can now root for JP and Denise :)
Nite all. See you late on Sunday!
I think maybe Jeff Kent with his knee? I can't think of anyone else on that tribe either really sick or hurt.
later folks
I'm not a huge Penner fan, Monty. But Petals is!
Thanks for coming by, folks!
Well my grandson came down to talk and I missed the whole thing. Still eating those malt balls... send some more sydney if you haven't left already. I'll enjoy them as I continue to watch the show. Time for Russell to go so not sad about that.
His sad story about being picked on didn't work.
I'll cheer for JP, absolutely! WHoo!
1 - kudos to Denise for being an adult. LOVED her comment that if she were the one voted out, she'd still think Malcolm and Russell were great guys and she'd just chalk it up to being outplayed.
B - can you be blindsided when there are only 3 of you on your tribe? As much as I'd HOPE it wouldn't be me, I wouldn't be surprised if it were. @@
OK so I missed the party and fortunately recorded the show. I have one serious question and I think Jackie, I must give it to you....
In the immunity challenges, when a team has an extra member they choose one to set out. But, doesn't Jeff always say they cannot have set out the challenge before?
Therefore, the girls would have outnumbered the men playing. Hopefully I am explaining this right way, so it makes sense.
Hehe, my last post didn't make sense. I meant Petals can root for JP and Jackie for Denise.
I bet they split Malcolm and Denise up this week. I hope Denise goes to the red tribe. They already want a female alliance, so she should be safe for a while there. Hopefully a merge will happen soon.
It's true that they can't sit out consecutive challenges ... or it used to be. Perhaps with the three teams and one team down so low, it's changed. Jeff didn't mention the rule this time. I don't really know.
Missed the show with you guys as was watching Rupert in a debate for office in Indiana. Not sure what I think about his chances.

Jackie, just wanted to get your comment on all of these competitive reality shows getting rid of the people of color right off the bat. Shows such as Project Runway, The Glass House, and now Survivor: Phillippines. I just watched the baseball player get rid of Dawson, and why? What did she do to make them (or the head man Jeff) decide to get rid of her? The other girl was the one who blew their chances of winning. I am so frustrated by this that I discontinue watching the shows. In next week's show, it looks like Artis is aware of what went on this week, and he is ready for Jeff Kent (besides the baseball player plays dirty-it looks like he has a mean, racist theme going on - how shameful!) I'm hoping that Artis will help him to get his head on straight. That's the only reason that I'm watching next week. Your comments, please!
