Happy first night of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving Eve to all! I realize many folks might be on the road tonight or getting ready for the holiday, but the party is still on here at the blog! It seems that, unlike other years, this is actually a new action-packed episode tonight instead of the clips show. Woot!
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 always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!
The latest blog pool standings from the Esteemed Lifeguard Laurie:

Survivor fans ready?
While Vytas wonders why no one votes out Tyson, the duel is about to happen. Much ado about Ciera voting her mom out of the game.
The Redemption duel -- retrieve and stack four color cubes so that no one color is repeated on any side. Laura wins! Thanks to Laura's help, Tina came in second. Sigh. Vytas will go to jury with his brother. Laura gives the idol clue to Ciera. Ciera burns it.
Tyson tries to work all against Katie. Hayden want to blindside Tyson. I knew the kid could think! Gah! Ciera rats them out to Tyson! Tyson thinks Caleb should be the target.
Immunity -- Holding onto a rope with a bucket containing 25% of their body weight. Twist -- if someone feels secure, they can feast instead of trying. Tyson, Gervase and Ciera decide to eat. Hmm. Katie is out first. Caleb is out. It's down to Hayden and Monica now. Hayden's out. Monica wins her third individual immunity!
Aha! Hayden and Caleb convince Tyson that Ciera's trying to turn them on each other. He's not sure he trusts them that much, but is definitely suspicious of Ciera.Now Ciera seems to the the latest target.
Tribal Council time. The tally -- Whoa! Tyson plays the idol! Now, the tally -- Ciera, Caleb, Ciera, Ciera, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb.
Caleb is off to Redemption. It's a shame it wasn't Ciera! But Tyson's idol was totally wasted. Heehee!
Anyone out there? I realize it's a holiday eve, but ...!
ReplyDeleteI'm here. Happy Thanksgiving, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and Joe... running a little behind.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you both!
Hey, Jackie and Joe.
ReplyDeleteHey, Joe! I thought I was going to have to drink all this beer myself.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have the Biltmore Holiday White from last year. Thought we could all toast to the new jury member tonight.
ReplyDeleteHey, Beckie!
Tina is good at puzzles.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the brothers can bond.
ReplyDeleteHell of a way to risk losing a jury vote not just for you but also for your daughter
ReplyDeleteNot sorry to see Vytas go.
ReplyDeletenot sorry to see Vytas go, but I kind of don't like the way Laura and Tina did it. I can't recall anything quite like it ever
ReplyDeleteYou have a point about the vote, Joe. Jackie, pass me a beer, please.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch it back, Joe. Distracted by the dogs and the bathroom reno going on around me. :)))
ReplyDeleteEwww, gross! I think I'll bring a barf bag to the Amazing Race on Sunday.
ReplyDeletePick him off tonight, please, please, please.
ReplyDeleteIt probably won't happen.
ReplyDeleteCierra will tattle! Bet you a dollar.
ReplyDeleteTold you so!
ReplyDeleteGeesh, Hayden might have to just win that individual immunity tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm here -- missed the beginning because my nieces had Disney channel on both tvs. I finally got one back from them!
ReplyDeleteHayden is in trouble?! No!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Tyson when he says he was ready to go to the final four with them. Not with the way the Jury is shaping up.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sharon. Now they want to flip on Caleb, but it's too early to tell. Makes me believe it will be somebody else tonight.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that Caleb is so likable while Colton is so despicable!
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone :)
ReplyDeleteCaleb probably balances Colton....and keeps him calmer, nicer.
Honestly, I think Colton just doesn't handle adversity well. He's probably fine when not under duress.
ReplyDeleteRat Finks!
ReplyDeleteNever fails... what idiots.
ReplyDeleteThat shocks me that Tyson would take the food. I'm not at all surprised at Gervase (useless!) and Ciera (thinks she's the swing vote), but Tyson should know better.
ReplyDeleteOf course Tyson does have the HII if he wants to play it. He also has a bad shoulder still, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteTyson is an ASS
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Tyson have the idol?
ReplyDeleteWhat would have happened if they all chose food?
I hope the food makes all three of them barf.
ReplyDeleteHe does, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Monica on this one
ReplyDeleteWay to go Monica!
ReplyDeleteNow if should would only flip and not go along with Tyson's plan! A girl can hope :)))
ReplyDeleteOf course, if they all vote Tyson and he plays the idol then Hayden would end up going home.
ReplyDelete*she would
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling he will play it tonight, Joe. If he's smart.
ReplyDeleteJust stopped in to wish everyone a happy holiday - whatever they are celebrating!!
ReplyDeleteLeaving in the morning at the crack of dawn to drive north to the redwoods. Gonna be cold and damp but family fun!
SueGee on the Left Coast
Everybody have a safe and wonderful holiday. If you are going to be traveling, be careful.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping in on my iPhone. Dang. Can't stand Tyson and Ciera. What a little snitch. Snitches do not go far.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and Hanukkah
Penny
Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving with the family, SueGee!
ReplyDeleteFirst one in a long time that I'll be spending with Steve's family and not mine.
Drive safely, Sue. Our trip today was easy until we go 30 miles from my MILs house. It started snowing like crazy. Pretty though.
ReplyDeletePenny
I hope they do get rid of the little tattletale.
ReplyDelete"Swing Vote" always goes home. LOL
ReplyDeleteOne brother smiling, the other looking PO'd!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think Ciera voting out her mother would make her somewhat suspect to her "alliance". I mean, if you'll vote out your Mom, who are you loyal to other than your self?
ReplyDeleteWhat an ass!
ReplyDeleteGood, they got him to use it.
ReplyDeletePenny
But I bet he just wasted it :))))
ReplyDeleteRats!
ReplyDeleteAww, wish it would have been Ciera!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Hayden will find the Hidden idol this time :)
ReplyDeleteJackie, thanks for hosting us. See you next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThe way Tyson is playing, he could get Russelled if he makes it to the end.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's now 4 on 2. But Tyson just showed his hand. I'm not sure I wouldn't want to be one of the 2, given that the 4 includes Tyson who kept the Idol totally hidden and Ciera who voted out her Mom and Monica who has been a pain in the ass since week 1.
ReplyDeleteDang it. I really can't stand those 4. Poor Caleb. Darn it. One by one. Crap.
ReplyDeletePenny
BTW, the Book Thief is a wonderful book. It is considered young adult, but is enjoyable for adults too.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate and a great Thanksgiving! Thank you all for dropping by tonight!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, Sharon! ;-)
ReplyDeleteEveryone, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Off to start prepping for tomorrow.
Have a great day with the ones you love, and will see you all next week.
I wish he would, Monty.
ReplyDeletePenny
Won't happen, Hayden. Wish it would, tho. See everyone Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving!
