Oh my gosh ... is the newbie team ever going to win ANYTHING? At least, with the "loved ones" twist this season, there's a bit of a new dynamic in the midst due to the connections. Otherwise, it would just be another season of watching experienced veteran players trounce the newcomers.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. As always, the real party is in the comments. Please join us!

****************************
Survivor fans ready? Let's partay! And, watch the show. Of course.
Redemption duel time!
Uh-oh. Husband and wife will have to duel against each other ... and Marissa.
They have to unravel a rope on a horizontal ladder doohicky, get puzzle pieces and solve a puzzle. John wins! Candice survives in second place and Marissa gets the boot. Candice told John to give the clue to the hidden idol to Monica. He went with it -- to put a target on Monica's back due to Brad being institutional in his tribal ouster. On Brad's advice, Monica burns the clue.
Immunity Challenge time!
Paddle out to crates (five of them), gather crates with puzzle pieces, solve puzzle, raise flag. Ho-hum. Reward is tea and biscotti or can be traded for fishing gear. Galang (veteran players) win once again. Oy.
Tribal Council
Ciera is worried, as she needs to be. Caleb should be worried. Whoa! Caleb says he will write Brad's name down and puts the rest on the spot.
The tally: Brad, Ciera, Ciera, Brad, Ciera, Brad. It's a tie. Re-vote time. We see Hayden scribble out where he started to write Ciera and put Brad's name instead.
The re-tally -- Brad, Ciera, Brad, Brad.
Big Bad Brad is headed to Redemption Island!

Hey Jackie and all...
ReplyDeleteGreen bean crispers with ranch dipping sauce over at the bar.
~~~SPLASH~~~
First in the pool? Welcome all who follow - don't splash me too much when you dive in, please!
ReplyDeleteOops -- Monty beat me -- hi Monty!
ReplyDeleteLol, hey Sharon S :)))
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteHi Joe
ReplyDeleteBrad is an annoying idiot.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to keep around people with loved ones after he tossed John out because he had a loved one?!?!?!
I'm going to do my best to ignore family tonight so I can watch and comment at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteHey guys!
ReplyDeleteGood evening everyone!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny? You'd think that one would want to root for the 'family' tribe as the underdogs, but not me!
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteBrad Cullpepper is the most hated person right now.
Hi Kathy
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Monty, Sharon, Joe, Kathy and others who arrive.
ReplyDeleteWell, my guy quite, so I'll go back to rooting for Hayden. Although, I do like the returnees.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky and Penny
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that John called out Brad about every vote off being his idea.
ReplyDelete~*~**~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~*
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I had to run home to grab...homemade Apple Pie Moonshine!
It is made with 100% grain, but tastes like a dream, so don't let it sneak-up on you.
I think Candace is so upset, she'll mess up.
ReplyDeletePenny, While Culpepper is not anyone's most favorite - I think Trollton is still pretty hated. (by me, hehheeh)
ReplyDeleteI do not like the "Redemption Island" idea thingy.
ReplyDeleteThe duels are exciting, but the concept is full of holes.
Lol, UPS just dropped a package on the porch and rung the doorbell. Dogs going crazy and I missed the RI challenge. Grrrrr!
ReplyDeletePoor Marissa. :-(
ReplyDeleteHi Petals... I'll take some of that. If it isn't family, it's UPS! ;)))
ReplyDeleteHi Monty
ReplyDeleteMonica, honey, they are aggresive to your husband because he is a H-A. What can we say.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Trolton, either, Petals. He was my pool pick and I'm glad he's gone. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that John said it's a game, yet, that is how Brad is playing it, it's a game.
Hey, Petals -- we can drink your stuff for our "word" tonight Oh, what is the word?
ReplyDeleteMonty -- UPS should know not to deliver packages during Survivor!
ReplyDeleteI don't know who to root for. My pool pick left, so I'm treading water until I decide who to like.
*sliding big mug o'moonshine to Monty*
ReplyDeleteHey girl, I'm such a shopaholic, my UPS guy is one my closest friends. HAHA (but he is, really)
Becky, is H-A a**hat or a**hole backwards? If so, I agree :)))
ReplyDeleteLol, I know! I'm getting to know mine too. I have about ten or more things being delivered this week. I call it retail therapy, and I've earned it after a few stressful weeks.
ReplyDeleteYummy and smooth, as moonshine goes, Petals! *thanks*
ReplyDeleteWill John and Candiice get any "alone" time on Redemption Island? They are a married couple after all? :-)
ReplyDeleteJoanie, they will until the next one comes along.
ReplyDeleteWell, Monty, the second word is correct, but I was thinking horses for the H.
ReplyDeleteJoanie, I bet they get in some "family" time as soon as they get back to RI sinced someone will arrive that night.
ReplyDelete^5 Becky. lol Horsesa** is good too!
ReplyDeleteThere's the Gervase we all know. LOL
ReplyDeleteJoe, how is the baby doing? I dislike people who sneak food on Survivor.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Becky. It's so sneaky.
ReplyDeleteYes, Joe, how is your baby. She doing well and walking well?
Heck, when I take Momma fruit or other treat, which is almost every day, I take something for the other three ladies at her table too. I don't want for them to have to watch her enjoy while they have nothing.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky & Nickel. She's doing better. Still a little sore, but coming along. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteThe returnees have been horrible in the boats, haven't they?
ReplyDeleteCome on Tahana. Just once, do it
ReplyDeleteIf they don't, they need to do something.
ReplyDeleteWell the episode isn't called One Armed Dude and Three Moms for nuthin'
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad. Ugh. But, you know, that shows how good the returnees really are.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that the newbies can't win something.
ReplyDeleteThe challenges this season are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Monty! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou ladies talking about shopping, etc.... after the vet bills we had the past two months I told my husband I was glad that I didn't want to shop any more.
ReplyDeleteBecky, understood. My purchases didn't add up to all that much and it was heavenly retail therapy so I feel not guilt. :)))
ReplyDelete*no guilt :)
ReplyDeleteSo, who's it going to be?
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteWell, we just paid off our HHR last month; and what do I do, I let my husband talk me in to a new car. The payments were less than the HHR, but I was hoping to go longer. We got a Chevy Spark. Nice car. They gave us everything included in the package. Dash board is very cool. I even connected my phone to the bluetooth system. Hands free.
ReplyDeleteThe chickens are coming home to roost!
ReplyDeleteHayden sure is cute.
ReplyDeleteI just can't see them winning anything. What do they have to lose voting Brad out?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, liar
ReplyDeleteCome on Hayden....vote Brad!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is interesting.
ReplyDeleteDraw rocks, LOL
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeletehe took it better than I thought
ReplyDeleteWe need a Redemption Island live feed. LOL
ReplyDeleteProbably the smartest thing Hayden could have done. He is cute. I think I'm going to root for him (I think I was rooting for him when he was on BB too).
ReplyDeleteI liked Brad telling people he's not mad.
I don't like BRAD at all.
ReplyDeleteHayden sure looks good.
I'm with Joe :)))
ReplyDeleteWow, Vytas changed his mind? Or was it Hayden? And, now he has to face John and Candace? LOL
ReplyDeleteJoe -- lol!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Frankly I am glad he is gone. Penny, I will be sending you an email.
ReplyDeleteYes, Hayden looks great! heehee
ReplyDeleteI think it was Hayden who voted for him to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. See you guys Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how he does on Redemption. Maybe this will do the job for the group.
ReplyDeleteI miss seeing you guys several times a week.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is doing well.
XOXOXOXO
Kaleb taking a page out of Colton's play book
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Night all
ReplyDeleteI saw Hayden change it, but did he change it back?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. See everyone Sunday.
It wasn't Hayden. He voted Ciera out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Great show and great party. See you all next week. have a good one
That was interesting. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Brad to Redemption... gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteWatched and yes, Hayden started to vote for Ciera, then scratched her name out. But I watched for the scratched up ballot and looked like he decided to put her name down after all.
Gotta love Hayden, but I'm really getting to like Caleb too!!
