Survivor: Blood vs. Water - October 16 Blog Party


Good evening, Survivor fans! The promos for tonight's show are hinting quite blatantly at yet another blindside. It brings to mind last week's show in which it seems like Caleb all of a sudden thinks he's in charge after Brad's ouster. While I so didn't want another season of Colton (and got my wish), as of this point, I've kind of liked Caleb. Hmm ... wonder if the blindside will be him.

How's the swimming, you ask? Well, the water's just fine. For some of us, that is. Here are the latest standings from the Super Soaker LifeGuard Laurie:

*********************************
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh this page to get the latest! But, as you know, the real party is in the comments -- come join in on the fun!

Redemption Island Duel Time!
They have to build a bridge with planks, then un-build it and solve the puzzle with the planks. John wins! Brad comes in second. Candice is out of the game. He once again gives Monica the clue to the hidden idol. She once again tosses it in the fire.

Ew. They really don't need to show us disgusting wounds and toenails falling off. Ew.

Time for the Immunity Challenge!
Race down a slide, grab a ring, toss on a post, get a point for the tribe. Reward is steak, vegetables, spices and a wok ... or fishing gear.

OH MY GOSH! Tadhana won a challenge! About time! They chose the steak, possibly not the best decision as they could use the fishing gear for the rest of the game.

Aras would like Laura M. to be the vote as she might knock Brad out of Redemption Island and thus become a better ally for their own game.

The tally: Laura B, Laura M, Laura M, Laura M, Laura M. She's blindsided and headed to Redemption Island.

Ah, looks like Jeff is mixing things up with the tribes at the next Redemption Duel. Hmm ...

    ReplyDelete
  10. What's our drinking word tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh, and I have the cheapest wine ever:
    Naked Grape Chardonnay. Screw top!

    (I got 3 bottles for $10, LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hi, all! And congratulations on the new member of your family, Becky!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have no idea for a word. Brad -- or "double cross".

    ReplyDelete
  14. Petals, my favorite is Sutter Home Riesling and it's also screw top, LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Joe, how is your baby? Petals, if it is like when Colton talking was the word the wine will taste like top vintage.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Brought some very, very local hot salsa and some chips. Make you sweat hot. Dig in.

    Aaaaa need to jump in the pool.

    ~~~~ splash~~~~~

    Whew, much better. Watch the steam rising from the pool.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Brad would probably be a good word. I'm sure they're going to keep talking about him!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Aww, Becky. Great news on you new beagle!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I am more of a beer person myself. I really drink very little. Usually just when we have a family gathering or on occasion when we take one out to drink with Momma. She doesn't know we give her N/A.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Becky, what is the news?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hey everyone! I forgot I rewound my DVR and didn't realize it was after 8!!

    Here we go!

    ReplyDelete
  22. LOL @ Becky! I'm a beer person (heritage) and wine. My mother never got the wine thing either, but my grandpa made the best homemade wine EVER :)))

    ReplyDelete
  23. Crap, BRAD is making me DRINK too much ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yay for Becky!!! Can't wait to see pictures of her!!! So happy for you!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. BRAD... bad word. I can't keep up and keep my glass full :(((

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am not enamored with Candace.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Well, my girl is gone. Sigh! Dusty, you and I are free to root for anyone now.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Petals, scroll up and you will see my news.

    ReplyDelete
  29. No, I opt for another word... I'm allsready sllurrrin my wurds

    ReplyDelete
  30. go red sox. this for you andy

    ReplyDelete
  31. Candace and her husband are both doctors, so they will make the $$ after they pay off their school bills -- if they have any.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Monty, I almost spit water on my keyboard.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Life guard is here!! I was outside enjoying the last of a warm fall day in San Diego.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was not a Candace fan, either. Glad she's gone.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yuk, the flies on the sores is awful.

    Tina sure has aged over the years.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Tadhana needs to pick up their game. They can't keep losing. They need to win this next challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh GROSS!

    OMG, I've never heard of that disease. This is a first, yeah? Potentially very dangerous, it could get gangrenous, right?

    Icky-poo

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yes, Tina has aged....then I look in the mirror....lol...it's been a long time since Australian Outback and the All Stars, hasn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think the blindside of (WORD) has gone to Caleb's head.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, just saw!!

    AWWWWW! Congrats! Gidget, what an adorable name.

    So excited & happy for you :)

    *cheers to Gidget*

    ReplyDelete
  41. Laurie - Gorgeous day here today, too!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I missed that??? What disease?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Don't get too cocky...Caleb. Be very, very careful

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nice day here. We had a cool front so it was in the low 80's today.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm hoping the low playing of Hayden means he's not a target and stays for awhile.

    Becky, when do you get Gidget? Love that name!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Penny, I "ain't no spring chicken" myself. I probably look older than dirt to a lot of people.

    ReplyDelete
  47. David, that is some wicked salsa... whew!

    ReplyDelete
  48. For a moment I thought Penny was telling me not to get too cocky over the glorious weather!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh, I don't think so, Becky. You are in very good shape and really do look great!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Her name was Bridget, but she looks more like a Gidget. She will be flown in next week.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Jackie, you are so funny! Hey, Jackie, did you tell the group about Entertainment Weekly yet????

    ReplyDelete
  52. Awesomeness... love the slip-n-slide challenges!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Okay, come on Tahana. You need to win one.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Starting off the same as every week.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I can't help but root for Tahana because they really need to win one at least.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yes, we should all congratulate Jackie on the EW opportunity. Sweet that her blog/this blog was recognized and will land her another writing job. KUDOS Jackie :)))

    ReplyDelete
  57. I love slides like this. Problem is, it will give you wedgies. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  58. Boy, the country boy must play horseshoes.

    ReplyDelete
  59. This will be interesting if the vets have to vote someone out tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Come on Hayden. Come on.

    Take your time....

    ReplyDelete
  61. YES! Finally! They really needed this.

    ReplyDelete
  62. WOW! WTG Hayden. Let's hope the fools pick the fishing stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Congrats Jackie. ;-) Glad to hear you are getting some recognition for what we already know.

    ReplyDelete
  64. See why I called them fools? I knew that was what they would do.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Gervase continues to be useless. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I agree with you Petals...Homina, homina....so glad he hooked it this time!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm guessing Rupert's wife, Laura will go

    ReplyDelete
  68. Okay, Jackie. Spill the beans. What about E-W?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Not sure about that decision, but I understand how starved they must feel at that moment.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't know, Becky, I think I would have picked the steak also. They really need the protein.

    I know it's a one time meal and the fishing gear could get them more food, but I don't even know if they'd use it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Congratulations on the new dog, Becky! (sorry, just catching up on comments)

    ReplyDelete
  72. Lynn, that's a good guess, but some of the vets already don't like each other. This will be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Monty - I think it is Tina's daughter - she has some weird disease on her feet, and her toenails are falling-off. She said the name, which I didn't catch. Her toes are bright red, the nails are yellow-grey. And falling off. ICK!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hi Petals,

    Keira is doing better. Fingers crossed that our troubles are behind us. Although she had me up half the night. I was afraid she was bloating. Turned out to be just my paranoia.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Thanks. The Entertainment Weekly thing is still in the planning stages. Knowing corporate America, it might be a while before it's up and running.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I think it will either be Kat or Laura, Rupert's wife.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Well, all I can say, Jackie, is you deserve the recognition. I remember you from the AOL boards. You've been doing stuff like this for years!!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Thanks, Petals. I always have to watch the show again to catch what I miss.

    ReplyDelete
  79. LOL, accommodate the conversation of the person on the bottom?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Oh great, starting something to get her going. This will get Kat really on the edge.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I think Laura B will go.

    ReplyDelete
  82. okay, so it's NOT Laura. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  83. Gary & I are adding coconut water to our diet. It is supposed to be so healthy, very hydrating, etc.
    We are aware of the inconvenient side effects, but meh...the pros outweigh the cons.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Seriously, you are sending Laura to Redemption to knock out Brad?!?!? Am I missing her golden lasso and invisible plane?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Laura B has a set of Eyebrows doesn't she

    ReplyDelete
  86. no one bothered to mention that previous finalists have NOT felt the sting either. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  87. Kat, stop rolling your eyes. Wasn't Kat the one who said "I love a blindside" -- and was voted out that night?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Joe, I know - Gervase. Forgot about his being "about as useful as teats on a boar", (as Gary would say

    ReplyDelete
  89. So, they voted her off because they think she can beat Brad?

    ReplyDelete
  90. Jackie, thank you so much for hosting.

    See everyone Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Ciera's mother, Petals. I only vaguely remember her from her original season.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Monty, Brad would toss Monica aside just like he did the first rattle out of the box..

    ReplyDelete
  93. Isn't Laura M's daughter Cierra?

    ReplyDelete
  94. Thanks Jackie (of course I'd forgotten)

    ReplyDelete
  95. Oh gosh, a switch up??? Yikes? I wonder who is going on who's tribe?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Well, there you go. Laura will probably do well at RI. I would have sent Monica to break up her and Brad, but I'm not playing the game. :)))

    Thanks Jackie.

    ReplyDelete
  97. So, Jackie, when do you start your new writing gig? Will come back later and look for your reply.

    Thank you so much for hosting.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Thanks Jackie. nite everyone

    ReplyDelete
  99. All is still in the planning stages, Becky.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Becky, I do not think she knows yet. Hopefully, they'll get back to her soon!!!

  102. Jackie: you totally deserve any EW gigs that come your way!!! A big congrats! Hope it all works out well for you-- your style of humor is a great match with theirs.

    Laura M. is my pool pick and only distinguished herself last night as a Cougar with less than perfect social skills! (priding herself as a seductive masseuse!)
