We're getting down to the wire with this season. Tonight is a double tribal council with two heading to the jury. The season finale is scheduled for May 12. Yes, Mother's Day -- a week from this coming Sunday.
Normally, I don't cheer on a returning player on these shows. I'm really not too keen on them bringing back folks we've seen before. However, this season is an exception. I'd like to see Cochran win it all. That doesn't mean I won't whine and fuss the next time they bring back returning castaways. It's only a one season pass for them. Got that, CBS?
As the show airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Please refresh the page to get the latest news. The party will be going on in the comments area. Come join in! We'd love to have you. Oh. And bring snacks. Oh. And beverages, too.
Tree Mail brought news that they'd have another Immunity Challenge ahead, not a reward. They have to balance on platforms in the water. They're also playing for reward -- information. Jeff is trying to bribe them with donuts and milk. Erik talks Eddie into going for them with him. Silly Eddie. Three hot dogs and a soda get Cochran to jump. He's hoping one of the favorites wins, not Reynold. He said he couldn't hold on much longer. It's down to Andrea and Brenda -- they're talking about each being safe and sharing the clue, but neither wants to jump. They've been up there three hours. Brenda falls ... Andrea wins Immunity and the clue!
The clue is to the hidden idol. She told everyone (but Reynold and Eddie). Erik found the idol in front of her and handed it over. Uh-oh. She's thinking of targeting Brenda instead of Reynold or Eddie. Yipes.
Tribal Council time! Brenda votes Reynold, the only vote shown pre-tally.
Tally -- um, commercial first. Grr.
Erik, Sherri, Reynold, Eddie, Reynold, Eddie, Reynold, Reynold.
Reynold is history.
Andrea is once again talking Brenda. Cochran isn't keen on either Brenda or Dawn going right now. He tells Brenda. They talk of blindsiding Andrea.
Immunity is up for grabs once again. Push a buoy through obstacles, key, chest, ladder puzzle. Erik wins Immunity!
Andrea thinks her ducks are in a row and Brenda will go. We'll see.
Tribal Council time again! Brenda and Andrea vote for each other.
The tally -- Andrea does NOT play the idol -- Brenda, Andrea, Eddie, Eddie, Andrea, Brenda, Andrea. Blindside goes to Andrea!
Hi Jackie and everyone!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo... double the fun tonight. In honor of Cinco de Mayo (on Sunday), I say we start celebrating early. Margaritas all around.
DIVING IN ~~~SPLASH~~~
~*~*~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~**~
ReplyDeleteWhooo! I have BBQ pulled pork sliders & a case of Sam Adams (which you already know, Monty, LOL)
Drinking word? Crying is always a good drinking thing...but how about the word "final"?
I think Sherri thinks too highly of herself in the game!
ReplyDeleteDRINK!
ReplyDeleteHi Monty. Hi Jackie. Thank you for hosting, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that, Monty!!
I'll drink to that, Petals. *wink*
ReplyDeleteI brought the cole slaw and pickles (for the westies)!!!
Hi Petals!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Penny
ReplyDeleteSherri is ... a stick figure.
ReplyDeleteHey Penny!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the three amigos will be done to uno tonight? Or worse, gone all together!
ReplyDelete*down, not done
ReplyDeleteI hate Malcolm being gone. We have Reynold (I like him)
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for Malcolm for fan favorite. He would have won it last season if not for Lisa and the Blair factor.
ReplyDeleteReynold is a pig. I know you are all about the beefcake, Petals, but seriously...Reynold?
ReplyDeleteHi there, Joe!
ReplyDeleteBrenda should do well at this
ReplyDeleteEddie, you IDIOT!!!
ReplyDeleteOK. No respect at all for Eddie, the other pig. How can you possibly sacrifice immunity for a donut if you care at all about winning the game?
ReplyDeleteHey Joe! How is the babygirl?
ReplyDeleteAgree, Joe!
ReplyDeleteFools!!! You will hate donuts, Eddie. Cochran, Hey, everyone.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky
ReplyDeleteHi Becky. It always blows my mind why they would step down for food when they are in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteWhy does that not surprise me. Sherri is the goat they could take to the end. She never does well in challenges.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeletehey - there are sliders beer & 'ritas!
Ut oh!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job Reynold.
ReplyDeleteBrenda is my "fave" pool chick. Glad she is emerging in the game & hanging tough!
ReplyDeleteI guess Eddie and Reynold will go home.
ReplyDeleteAndrea already knows the idol is by the well???
ReplyDeleteFrankly, Eddie wasn't going to beat the girls anyway. But, still. If you are really "fighting", you give it a go.
ReplyDeletewho won? (we have a huge storm here, knocked out our TV)
ReplyDeleteThe sliders are yummm! Been waiting on them all day.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky...how is momma?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think Eddie like Brenda, so I think Reynold will leave soon; and I think one of the girls will leave before Eddie. I think they like him much better than the rest. Erick and he are friends.
Andrea won immunity!
ReplyDeleteI like Brenda too, Monty. But I am pulling for Cochran. If he doesn't make it to the end I will vote for either him or Malcolm as fan favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis guys are obsessed with splitting votes. It's probably safe here, even if one of the 6 jump the best the Two Pigs could do is force a tie and lose a revote. But on every vote they take a clear majority and turn it into a razor thin advantage. They are just lucky no one except Malcolm ever jumped ship.
ReplyDeleteStay safe out there, Petals. Don't like to hear storms your way... that means it's heading my way.
ReplyDeleteAll the food is wonderful. Along with the drinks. I will bring watermelon on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThey might like Eddie, but I think they will vote him out.
Becky, I'm rooting for Cochran too. I have Eddie left in the pool, but he doesn't stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteGO ERIC
ReplyDeleteIt's that cold front...the sky is black,huge gusts of wind. We have power, just no DirectTV. It is going to snow tomorrow. Can you believe it??
ReplyDeleteI'll just hang over here by the bar & nibble. (and drink, of course)
Let me know when someone says "final"
Or - where can I watch it online, live??
Scratch that! D-U-M-B
ReplyDeleteHe has a habit of handing over idols to women, UGH
Erick, you are REALLY dense.
ReplyDeleteHi All! Jumpin in late! Missed the first 15 minutes. So if I got this right Eddie gave up a shot at immunity for a DONUT??!! Duh!
ReplyDeleteReynold seems doomed anyway I don't think it's possible to win immunity every time to the end which it looks like he would have needed to do.
I like Brenda better than Andrea.
ReplyDeleteCochran said end game.... DRINK up, Petals!
ReplyDeleteHere comes that cutie Malcolm
ReplyDeleteLove his hair, sigh!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh....his HAIR!!! I LOVE his hair!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH MAN!!!??? I am missing a homina-homina moment with Ozzy Jr?
ReplyDeleteDrop a big hint, Jeff!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike, Penny ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like Cochran so much better this time through. Erik is flaky as ever....lol
ReplyDeleteAndrea is shooting herself in the foot. She may have immunity now, but she's made herself a target for the next vote.
ReplyDelete*drinking*
ReplyDeleteOh - it's back! For now. I'm trying to speed it up, but grrrr....it's locking up!
Looks like it will be bye-bye Reynold... Malcolm said that Reynold knew the clue to the idol because he shared it with him before he went looking for it. I wonder if Reynold even looked for it?
ReplyDeletePenny, I like Brenda better too -- and I have Andrea in the pool.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the beginning of tribal now, not even to the vote yet...trying to catch up.
ReplyDeleteYour boy is gone, Petals!
ReplyDeleteWell that was no surprise!
ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't leave bitter.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!!! Oh well, we have 2 sexy effers on the jury now.
ReplyDeleteHey Ed :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't see you pop in, Ed. The amigos are down to one.
ReplyDeleteWell, he did make the show livelier. LOL
ReplyDeleteJust wish Malcolm was still there. Wish they'd get rid of Sherri.
I'd really like to see Andrea go!
ReplyDelete(damn! Malcolm is looking sooooo mmmmmm) My husband is sitting next to me, watching. It's hard not to ooohh & ahhhh.
ReplyDeleteme too Penny!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Sherri is even on anyone's radar. She's useless!
ReplyDeleteAndrea is jealous of Brenda. IMO
ReplyDeleteSam Adams anyone?
Hi Petals/Monty!
ReplyDeleteYea only Eddie left from the 3 and his days are probably numbered. This group that's left really does not impress me.
Why does that not surpise me? Sherri behind????
ReplyDeleteSeeing Andrea with Eddie makes me want her to go more. She's targeting all the others before him. I do like Eddie, though.
ReplyDeleteI have Sheri too. And I don't care for her either!
ReplyDeleteOh I dunno, Monty. Sherri could be useful - maybe as a Q-Tip for an elephant
ReplyDeleteI'dd like to see Brenda win this. Erik would be fine, too.
ReplyDeleteSee ya' Eddie!
ReplyDeletePetals, Q-tip LOL!
They should let Andrea think that they are all voting for Eddie and then blindside him.
ReplyDeleteI meant her.
ReplyDeleteYikes, there goes Eddie or Brenda?
ReplyDeleteI don't think Eddie is smart enough to swing his own deal. He'll have to hope someone else wants to work something with him.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there really is no point in jumping unless you have a solid 3...and Eddie makes 4. If you have an alliance bigger than 3 already, there is no need to use Eddie. And if you have a solid alliance of less than 3, you may screw yourself by trying to find two other weak jumpers.
That said, 7 is the number if you want to shake things up.
Me, too, Becky; however, she really wants to target one of the others. She like Eddie. I would like to see another blindside.
ReplyDeleteBecky, they better let Andrea think they are all voting for Brenda not Eddie. If she thinks her boy Eddie is going, she may try something desperate to save him and screw them up. If she thinks she's getting her way on Brenda, she'll sit back, idol in pocket and go home.
ReplyDeleteYou guys owe me a drink! Jeff said "final" - DRINK! :)

ReplyDeleteArgh! Why did I answer the phone? Life stepped in and now I'm way behind. Know how you feel now, Petals.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting too predictable.
ReplyDeleteThey need to shake it up!!
Stay safe, Petals. I hate it when I lose power when Survivor is on!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteMonty, remember Andrea followed Malcolm to the well? He wouldn't look for the Idol with Andrea sitting there. LOL
oops.
ReplyDeleteSee, she's trying to save Eddie. Man, I hope they turn the tables.
ReplyDeleteEddie is not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
ReplyDeleteMonty - phones on vibrate - emergency only, LOL
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah I remember that, but I meant why didn't Reynold look for it after Malcolm was voted off. Malcolm said (on the After Show) that Reynold knew where it was hidden. He told him, so why wouldn't he look for it?
ReplyDeleteThere is very little bitterness so far this season. It'll be interesting to see if the jury actually rewards the players rather than punishing them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Andrea beat him to it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Andrea beat him to it?
ReplyDeletedrink!!!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Erik, you are STILL so naive. He just doesn't learn.
ReplyDeleteI know... it was my baby brother, and you never know what kind of drama he's calling with. I'll ignore the next time, LOL
ReplyDeleteJeff sure likes to 'stir the pot'!
ReplyDelete(I was ribbin you - of course answer when it is family) :)
ReplyDeleteThey are awfully honest.
ReplyDeleteDRINK!!!!
ReplyDeleteCochran is so cool at tribal councils.
ReplyDeletearrrggghhh lost my last comment
ReplyDeleteHi to everyone but I can't stay. Will think of you as I watch later tonight!
SueGee on the left coast
Ed - yes he does - I love it!
ReplyDeletehey SueG!
ReplyDeleteDid they show Andrea finding the idol?
ReplyDeleteLOL. I wonder if that was real or just the edit. I mean if I'm Andrea and everyone's looking at me, I would play the Idol. LOL
ReplyDeleteStupid, stupid, stupid!!! Blindside BABY!
ReplyDeleteoh, love that!!!
ReplyDeleteShe took that pretty well. I like the look on Eddie's face. Now he really is totally alone.
ReplyDeletelove it!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesuck it, BIOTCH!
Surprise!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!
Cockiness bought her walking papers!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it!
ReplyDeletePenny, Eric found it and gave it to Andrea.
ReplyDeleteShould she be THAT surprised? Heeeeheeeeeheeeeeee
ReplyDeleteCHEERS to the tribe - great blindside!!
ReplyDeleteI still think they are going to screw themselves at some point with all this vote splitting. I mean, if Eric had jumped, Brenda would have gone home and Andrea would be in charge of the game. Why they insist on playing it that close baffles me. Are they that paranoid about the HII?
ReplyDeleteErick found the idol and GAVE it to Andrea!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh. I didn't see that he found it and gave it to Erik. Wow, he really has not learned, has he?
ReplyDeleteThey were all looking for it, but Eric found it and just handed it over. He has a habit of doing that, LOL
ReplyDeleteUno Amigo still alive!
ReplyDeleteJoe, I am sure they did a little editing.
ReplyDeleteWhen Brenda smiled, I knew.
ReplyDeleteHey - everyone East of KMCO - there is a cold front moving, strong winds, a 40-degree temp drop in 6 hours.
Personally, I think Andrea is far more deserving of player of the year than Malcolm. She totally managed/ran Philip and pretty much ran the whole tribe for the first 31 days. Based on her last appearance, that also makes her the Most Improved Player.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joe. These splits will hurt them. Maybe now that Andrea is gone, they will not split the votes any more. I do believe the next one gone will be Eddie, though.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I've thought a lot about that too. I think it's the Boston Rob influence. It wasn't just Phillip who played with him. Andrea did too.
ReplyDeleteYou folks who like to drink when the girls cry are going to be hammered next week. LOL
ReplyDeleteI will see you guys Sunday. Thanks, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteOh no, tears...
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Jackie. Appreciate it.
See everyone Sunday.
True, Joe but I'm still voting for Malcolm... my pool boy :)))
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, everybody!
ReplyDeleteHey, we will have lots of drinking opportunities next week. Sad, I might not make it to the party. Going to try, but we have plans on Wednesday night.
ReplyDeleteEveryone have a great week and will see you all soon.
Thanks again Jackie!
I also think Cochran has played a really good game. Maybe he should win the player of the game.
ReplyDeletePool is getting pretty small!
ReplyDeleteSherri - Becky, Joey & Julie, Nana in the NW
Eddie - Glenn, Monty, Zoetawny
Brenda - Brian, Laurie, Petals
Dawn - dla, Margo, Rochelle

Check out the new avatar, lol ------>
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lifeguard Laurie. Looks like we're all down to one or none. I'm rooting for Cochran even though I have the lone Amigo left.
