Survivor: Philippines - 12/12/12 Episode Blog Party

Photobucket


I hear there's a big concert going on somewhere, so I don't know how busy our little party will be here. Ah, who am I kidding? I'm recording the concert and, had I been able to get tickets, I would have abandoned you for the evening! But, as I'm not a wealthy person with disposable income to spend frivolously on rock concerts with outrageous ticket prices ... no way could I go. But I'll have fun here nonetheless.

As the show airs, I'll update this entry with the major events. However, as always, the real fun will be in the comments. Come join us!

They've figured out that Abi really doesn't have an idol.

Rewards have them racing up and over a slide into the ocean, retrieving bags of rings, then tossing them for the win. Winner will choose two people to join them for a pizza party on a whale shark watching cruise. Skupin wins! He decides to take Malcolm (because he chose Skupin's son last week) and Lisa. Abi is all upset that she wasn't chosen. @@

Malcolm makes a final deal with Lisa and Skupin. But Lisa may have other thoughts.

Uh-oh. Denise has fang marks on her neck and a possible allergic reaction.

Immunity Challenge time! They have to use planks to cross a rope bridge, collecting pieces of a maze along the way, then assemble the maze. Malcolm wins Immunity!

Denise, although she thinks they'll vote out Abi, asked Malcolm for his hidden idol. No go. Lisa is seriously pushing for a Denise vote. It's Tribal Council time! Abi's mouth is doing its thing.

The tally -- Denise, Abi, Abi, ABI. YES! Abi is history!

  5. Taping the concert and watching Survivor live.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Sharon Abi is a 'backside'!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'd like her gone, too. I don't care if she's a sure bet for someone sitting next to her to win. I'd prefer Malcolm to stay over her.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hey Saron and Ed. Sharon and I both get bragging rights on TAR. My first ever pool win.... YAY

    ReplyDelete
  9. The concert is on a gazillion stations including the Food Network ... but not MTV. Weird.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh, I want Abi's nine lives up tonight! I won't even mind missing the drinking game on Sunday night!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I noticed they were on a delay on the PBS station here, just starting as Survivor started. I had been watching for a half-hour already.

    ReplyDelete
  12. If tonight is her night to go, we may or may not get some fireworks and drinking out of her :)))

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thanks Ed! And, you are right about the backside reference, I used it wrong - lol!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I really hope that Abi goes home too!

    Who do you guys want to win the title "Survivor" ?

    Woo hoo, I get bragging rights that my guys won on TAR!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Here we go... it's all about Abi!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Abi's scheming and I'm DRINKING

    ReplyDelete
  17. Congrats on your TAR win Dusty!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lisa, there isn't much time left for big moves. Just sayin'

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey Dusty..

    Raising a toast to my TAR winners here tonight. Here's to Dusty, Sharm and Me, lol

    CHEERS

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hey, everyone. Time caught up with me.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Abi's gonna' try to get in Lisa's head

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hi Becky. Happy you made it here tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  23. CHEERS, Monty & Sharm!!!!

    It's not often that I get bragging rights!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Late to the par-tay! Hello all!

    ReplyDelete
  25. That is rough this close to the end.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Poor Denise having to hang out with Abi while the others are relaxing.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Smart, but he didn't know Abi was in her ear. I would have taken Denise because she didn't get the loved one's reward.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jackie, did you get my email today?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Congrats Dusty. I hardly watched this year!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oops, I typed Sharm.

    Should have been Sharon :::blushing:::

    ReplyDelete
  31. Becky ... if you sent it to the AOL address, I haven't read that today (yet).

    ReplyDelete
  32. We might get some drinking in with Denise and Abi???

    ReplyDelete
  33. Abi really thought she was going to get picked to go?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Becky -- I just looked ... aww. Too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  35. DRINKING just because, lol

    ReplyDelete
  36. No prob...I pretty much answer to anything that starts with an S... lol

    ReplyDelete
  37. wait, monty and sharon all had the winners along with dusty? Wow, congrats to all!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi folks,

    I must be burned out on reality TV. I couldn't love or hate anyone on TAR and I feel the same about Survivor. Or maybe I'm just dead inside. :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. God, to be alone with abi has got to be hard. But what's her name the therapist is playing it great. Kudos to her

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm with Denise... I would stick big STICKS in my ears just to not have to listen to Abi!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yep, three winners here tonight. I think Meb won too. Where is she.

    Hey Joe! Can't figure out your apathy when there's Abi :))

    ReplyDelete
  42. They're doing greg with that fish! Like they were doing it all their lives. I'd SUCK at that! ha

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jackie, aren't Mr. & Mrs. Santa terrific? See why I take the girls (and Little Bit this year)?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Lisa has all of a sudden become a cut throat player. Who woulda thunk it?

    ReplyDelete
  45. They are definitely a good-looking Mr. and Mrs. Claus. I've thought about taking Vincent somewhere, but even though he's a good traveler and good with people ... I just don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hi Monty,

    That's it, I can't even hate Abi. She's annoying but I can't really hate her. I mean she's been a virtual non-entity when it comes to the game. That's why everyone else basically ignores her. And, at this point, I'd bet just about everyone wants to be opposite her at the end. I mean no one is going to vote for her.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Scolding the child right now. He's suddenly decided that the tree skirt is his own personal blanket. Didn't do it last Christmas.... hmmmmph

    ReplyDelete
  48. True, Joe. Did anyone see the final 5 on Jeff's show today? I didn't tape it. Wonder if any juicy tidbits came out?

    ReplyDelete
  49. ~~~~Splash~~~~

    Just jumping in and out almost immediately. Just got home from work and was listening to the 1212 Concert on local radio here in CA!

    SueGee (who hopes her pool pick goes home tonight)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oh WOW!! Hope it isn't anything serious. Looks like a spider bite.

    ReplyDelete
  51. guess not with fang marks. DId she just say that?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Denise is probably having a reaction from having to deal with Abi by herself the day before.

    I hope it doesn't throw her out of the game.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh, Abi, yes, your winning immunity is more important than someones health.

    ReplyDelete
  54. ha ha Becky!! IT'S ABI's fangs!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Monty I saw Jeff's show clip through Facebook this afternoon. No big secrets revealed.

    SueGee

    ReplyDelete
  56. And Monty - my team plays your team again this fall, but on our field. (CAL vs OSU)

    SueGee

    ReplyDelete
  57. The things Jeff says in this game. He plays his own strategy with those comments

    ReplyDelete
  58. Go Denise... looking good

    ReplyDelete
  59. Wonderful! I wish he would give his idol to Denise.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I think this is right.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I peeked at Twitter ... the concert is really blowing up the trend tweets. Pink Floyd did Another Brick in the Wall. Hmm...

    ReplyDelete
  62. Give it to Denise and send Lisa home. Hey, Lisa turned me against her when she turned on Malcolm ...even if it is a smart move.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Becky - But Malcolm was just talking about getting Denise out. I doubt he'll give her the idol. I like Denise, but I think this just might be it for her.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Can't wait for that SueGee! I have another team I root for in the NCAA... and they're playing Petals' Tide for the BCS. Also a Notre Dame girl here :)))

    ReplyDelete
  65. Injured again? Skupin is a walking target for injury.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I know, but it would be wiser to keep Denise.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Actually, Malcolm should have probably thrown the immunity challenge UNLESS he's going to give the Idol to someone else to curry favor. I mean what if Denise asks him for it, what's he going to say? He's in an awkward position unless he's going to make a move.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Don't be so sure of that Malcolm!

    ReplyDelete
  69. so if everyone can beat abi, why does she want to stay? She wins no money....

    ReplyDelete
  70. Abi wouldn't stand a snow balls chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think so too, Ed!
    ... with the idiot and moron, I'm DRINKING

    ReplyDelete
  72. IS THAT HER STRATEGY TO GET TO THE END?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Rochelle, actually there is Final 3 money which is more than just the stipend. She would win more money for making final 3

    ReplyDelete
  74. Malcolm, you are an ass!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Wow, I thought Lisa and Skupin were going to take Abi to the final.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Honestly, that's a mistake for Lisa and Skupin...especially Skupin.

    Skupin as a returnee has a huge strike against him anyway. And I think Denise and Malcolm are more likely to win than Lisa. Abi would have given them a shot.

    ReplyDelete
  77. They might as well be sining Ding Dong the Witch is Dead with that dance,,,

    ReplyDelete
  78. Jackie - seriously check your radio. There has been some great music to listen to and I will watch later. Also lots of comedy too!

    SueGee on the left coast

    ReplyDelete
  79. YEAH!!!!! It backfired on Malcolm. He said he would see how it was going. It didn't look good for Denise, but he was sitting like a stump.

    I am pulling for Denise to win now.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Sorry, I have this thing about loyalty. That is why I wouldn't do well in this game.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I was doing the Happy Dance with Skupin, LOL

    Thanks Jackie. Will see you all Sunday night... I'll be late, but I'll be here.

    ReplyDelete
  82. SueGee - I'm recording it as I watch this.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I have to see Abi's sour grapes at the credits!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Thanks for coming by, everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Thanks for hosting, Jackie!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Testing...still can't post here because reCAPTCHA won't allow it no matter how many times I try. I have made sure my javascript is enabled in my browser, IE9. Does anyone have any answers?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Whoa! It worked...after two months of trying. I tried using anonymous rather than my google account. Hmmmmm?

    It's me, zoetawny. I can't tell you how frustrating this has been for me and now anonymous is working...spooky. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  90. Have to get back to work now but will try to post a comment another day to see if it's still working.

    Tragic news today...God bless our children.
