Well, last week we saw Vytas win the first individual immunity of the season while brother Aras got the boot. Tyson, playing perhaps the sneakiest game this season, has the idol but was in no danger all along. Actually, unless you're Aras or Vytas, it made sense to get rid of Aras as he has a real chance to win it all. And, after all, he just might still have a chance as Redemption Island started up all over again.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this post with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest! But, as always, the real party is in the comments area ... come join us!
Here are the latest blog pool standings from that elegant Lifeguard Laurie:
End of Week 11/6

CIERA -- Andrea J, Karen in CA, Rochelle
GERVASE -- Jackie, Pam in NJ

KATIE -- David, Margo, Zoetawny

Survivor fans ready?
Oh my, Immunity Challenge is coming only seven minutes into the episode! It's the icky food comp ... fun to watch, but I couldn't do it.
40 mealworms (live, of course)
3 ounces pig intestines
It's between Monica and Gervase for the win.
2 live grubs
Monica wins immunity!
The plan seems to be to split the votes between Vytas and Katie. Tribal is coming early in the episode, too -- 8:22pm. Hmm. Something must be up or VERY entertaining ahead!
The tally -- Vytas, Katie, Tyson, Vytas, Vytas, Vytas, Vytas.
Rats. He'll have duel with his brother to return.
Second Immunity Challenge -- Balance a sword on a shield, with other hand balance coins on the sword's handle.
Katie wins Immunity!
Due to Monica's wild vote for Vytas last tribal, she's a target this time ... perhaps more so than Tina. Still no one knows that Tyson has the hidden idol.
At Tribal Council, Tina hints she might have the idol.
The tally -- Monica, Tina, Tyson, Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina.
Her ploy didn't work. I personally would have preferred it if Monica went.
Hi Jackie & everyone. I brought chicken tortilla soup and Mexican corn bread for the cool night
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie! No watchers tonight?
ReplyDeleteHey, Lynn. Whoo-hooo, Lynn. I love chicken tortilla soup. I brought pecan pralines for desert.
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, Lynn and Becky...
ReplyDeleteSliding into the deep end. Long day, but I have my beverage in hand. What's the word?
Perfect food, Lynn! Love both :)))
ReplyDeleteHi Becky I love pralines. have you ever had the chocolate pecan pralines? they are wonerful
ReplyDeleteHey, Monty. I have no idea for a word. It was a long, hard day here too. I sure am glad the pool is heated. The water feels great!
ReplyDeleteHey guys!
ReplyDeleteSince we do this sometimes, is it OK if I ask for everyone to send happy vibes to my husband - he is having a liver biopsy this Friday. Thanks!
I HATE TINA & TYSON!
Hey Monty
ReplyDeleteHi everyone....let the backstabbing begin!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about ALLIANCE as the word? I feel like drinking heavy tonight!
ReplyDelete;-)
I still have a bunch of leftover candy from Halloween. Dig in.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hi everyone.
My dog is sitting, stareing at me after he came back from outside like somehow the cold weather is my fault. 0_o
Petals,Good Vibes for your hubby. Hope he gets good news. keep us posted
ReplyDeleteHi David
ReplyDeleteLynn - RMFT
ReplyDeleteHey M - how is da baby?
Gross
ReplyDeleteTyson needs to be sent to RI. But, he's playing to win. Don't have to like him, though. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have mine, Petals! <3
ReplyDeleteGood word, Jackie! It is ALLIANCE :)
Hi folks
ReplyDeleteDAMN! Ms Jackie says she wants to drink! Whoooo!
ReplyDelete*procuring 2 boxes of wine from cooler*
JOE! :)
ReplyDeleteTyson would eat anything
ReplyDeletenot for nothing, but if my food is wriggling I'm not sure what good it does to hold your nose. It can't be the taste that's the problem.
ReplyDeleteI may need to FF during the eating challenge. Just the previews made me gag!
ReplyDeletePetals!
ReplyDeletec'mon Caleb!
ReplyDeleteThe boy is good, and sleeping in HIS recliner as I type. He's still not a Survivor fan though. LOL
ReplyDeleteThese gross food challenges always make me smile! BIG
I could eat anything...as long as it was dead! LOL. I don't think I could handle the wriggling food.
ReplyDeleteYay caleb
ReplyDeleteHi Joe
ReplyDeleteThey haven't done this kinda challenge in a while.
ReplyDeleteThat's just chitlings. Way easier than those live meal worms.
ReplyDeleteTyson is a little girl.
ReplyDeleteGood vibes to your husband, Petals. I had a liver biopsy a few years back. Can't say it is pleasant. LOL
ReplyDeleteTyson not so tough right now, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteGO GERVASE!!!!
ReplyDeletePetals, email me hubby's name so I can call him by name in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLynn, no I haven't had chocolate ones. I took pralines to my Beagle Mom Reunion one year. I was informed that if I didn't bring pralines to any future reunions, not to bother to come, they would send me home to get them.
Jackie, sounds like you had a rough day too.
I dislike this challange.
Tina is a grub. Eat her.
ReplyDeleteTrue on the wriggling, Joe! YUCK
ReplyDeletePenny - how long will he be down? Can he go out the next day? Just to eat?
ReplyDeleteYay! Don't necessarily like her, but a woman won the GROSS challenge. Go Monica!!!
ReplyDeleteGross. Of course, leave it to MONICA to be able to put anything in her mouth.
ReplyDeleteHow is your ankle Jackie? can you walk without pain?
ReplyDeletesending good vibes, Petals
ReplyDeleteJackie, what's up with the ankle? Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteI brought iced tea for the West Coasters. Over 90 in parts of San Diego, down to 75 here at 5:15 pm. Too hot!!
ReplyDeletePrayers for your husband, Petals.
Petals RTR going to the rose bowl in Jan
ReplyDeleteYes, Jackie. What's up with the ankle? I definitely missed something
ReplyDeletePetals, funny comment about MONICA!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better, Jackie.
ReplyDeletePetals, he won't really be down. It just hurts when they put that HUGE needle in his liver. He'll have to lie on his right side for a couple of hours after he has it done. They'll put him in to a room for awhile. Then when he sleeps at night, he needs to lay on his right side because it will hurt to lay on the left side.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ Petals
ReplyDeleteWhy do they always target the women. Do these women not understand they are next?
ReplyDeleteIs this a double elim. night?
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Will they target Vytas now?
ReplyDeletepre-show reaser said 2 tribal councils, so maybe 2 evictions.
ReplyDeleteTeaser*
ReplyDeletePetals: His first day will be a tough day. His liver will hurt. I'd wait to go out to dinner the next day.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is will be interesting. Who will go?
ReplyDeleteThey always target the women because the women are always trying to put together a women's alliance. LOL, Nickel. YOu can't have it both ways.
ReplyDeletePenny, the one I most want to go is sitting pretty.
ReplyDeletethanks guys
ReplyDeleteJoe - I tripped over a branch hidden by about six inches of fallen leaves. I twisted my left ankle, landed on my right knee. Knee is okay, ankle is still painful and swollen. But I'm okay.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Petals - it depends on what kind of biopsy they do. They can go through the vein in your neck. Most don't do that because they don't get a good reading, most go in with a huge needle and pull out fluid and tissue. He will not be able to lift more than 10-15 pounds for a few days.
ReplyDeleteMan...figured they do that to him. What a bunch of scumbags.
ReplyDeleteYup, Monica just moved to the bottom of the totem pole.
ReplyDeleteI do not like Monica or Tyson. I will be disappointed if either of them win. Dang.
ReplyDeleteWith Aras and Vytas, can't only one of them get back in to the game?
Like this challenge. It's nice when the do something different every once and a while. Most to challenges are retreads.

Oopsie... Monica is in trouble now.
ReplyDeleteJervase is pretty useless out there.
ReplyDeleteBecky, you rooting for Hayden?
ReplyDeleteWell my pool pick quit, so I'm rooting for Hayden.
ReplyDeleteDon't turn away Hayden. Stay focused.
Someone blow on Tyson's stack, please. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo. Glad she won. That was good. Would have liked for Hayden, but I do not think he's in trouble.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Like to see an underdog win, but it means Tina will be a big target now.
ReplyDeletePenny, I have Monica in the pool, but I don't like her much. I am rooting for Hayden.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is Monica or even my pool pick Tina I am tired of hearing them flapping their jaws
ReplyDeleteOhh My.... My pool pick, Katie, actually won something.
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible person. That's terrible. Tyson sure hasn't changed.
ReplyDeletePlease just vote for Monica. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, I think Tina will go. She sealed the deal. :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat is up with TINA????
ReplyDeletePenny, I never liked him before. He sure is making it hard for me not to hate him. I have made a real effort to remove hate from my life.
ReplyDeleteTina is trying to save herself. I do like her better than Monica.
ReplyDeleteMonica's mouth... yikes!
ReplyDeleteThen Tina opens hers!
ReplyDeleteWell, whether they keep Tina or Monica, nobody will vote for either. That is the only reason they'll keep either one of them.
ReplyDeleteTina may be older but she is a fighter.
ReplyDeleteThe mouth gets you every time, lol. Bye-bye Tina
ReplyDeleteNow I can cheer for who I like
ReplyDeleteI wish they had taken Monica out since they don't see Tyson as the threat that he is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Good night everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh well, strong personalities. We'll see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteJackie, hope your ankle feels better soon. Thank you for hosting.
See everyone Sunday at TAR!
Becky, I'm a Hayden fan. Hope he plays well. How Gidget?
Jackie, thank you for hosting us. I will see you guys Sunday. Petals, please send me hubby's name.
ReplyDeleteThey know Tyson is a threat, but they are stupid not to do something about it. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteShow's over so I can post an update. Joey had surgery on Monday to correct his cherry eye and remove a growth/mass on his neck. He's doing fine now.
ReplyDeleteSydney on the other hand may be finding another forever home. Dug up a baseball size hole in the carpet under the kennel cage. Sigh!
Thanks for stopping by, all! You know I have to get on with watching Criminal Minds!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteLucky (non)break. Landing on your knee could have been really bad.
What a brat that Sierra is! Oh, throw Momma under the train! I am off.
ReplyDeletePenny, will write you later about Gidget.
Joe - The fake knees seem tougher than the natural ones, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. Hope the ankle continues to heal and you get some pain relief. :)))
ReplyDeleteLOL. Poor Sydney. Little love, little training, lots of exercise, it'll all be better.
ReplyDeleteThey told me my fake knee would probably outlast me. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd here's the score at the end of the day!
