Who says reality television isn't educational? I'm certainly learning not only the existence of, but how to spell, several bizarre islands. Tonight's show has one of the blindfold challenges in it. Ah, it's always such fun to watch them crash and tangle! Yeah, I know it's cruel to take delight in the suffering of others. But they're the ones who went on the show, not me!
Lifeguard Laurie, keeper of the blog pool, could use our kind thoughts and prayers on a loss this past week. Nonetheless, here are the latest pool standings:
Beauty
Jeremiah Wood - LostChyld
Alexis Maxwell - Donna in FL, Petals
Jefra Bland - David, Sharon S.
LJ McKanas - Lorraine, ML
Morgan McLeod - Donna in Alabama, ORKMommy
Brains
J'Tia Taylor - Knickelpeed, Merrilee
Kass McQuillen -Delee, MikesGirl
Spencer Bledsoe - Becky and Monty924
Tasha Fox - DKNYNC, Rochelle
Brawn
Trisha Hegarty - Jackie
Cliff Robinson - Dusty, Margo
Lindsey Ogle - Brian
Sarah Lacina - Buzzmaan, Tammy
Tony Viachos - Lynn1, Zoetawny
Woo Hwang - Laurie, SueGee
As the show airs here, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. However, as always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join us!
The blindfolded challenge is reward. First tribe to finish wins live chickens, second wins a dozen eggs, third place is nothing. Beauty wins first place! Brawn gets second place! Beauty had been leading, but J'Tia blew it by panicking.
Jeremiah found the clue to the idol in with the chicken feed. He read it aloud. Gah, Good think LJ already has the idol.
Woo and others think Cliff should go away. They're talking about throwing the immunity challenge to get rid of him. Woo might need to be convinced to go that far. Woo actually likes Cliff, but they see a threat when the tribes merge.
Immunity has them diving releasing buoys. Must retrieve and toss five buoys into a basket. Oh my, J'Tia screws it up again. I'm not surprised at all.
Beauty tribe wins! Spencer is really doing all the work for the Brains. It's between Cliff, NBA player, and Spencer shooting baskets. Spencer has to keep waiting for the balls to be returned. Brawn wins second place and Immunity, Brains will go to Tribal Council. Of course, that's after Brawn (except for Cliff and Woo) tried to throw the challenge. They (Brains) really do suck. If they vote out Spencer, we'll know their real tribe title is LACK OF Brains.
Tribal Council -- the tally --
J'Tia, Spencer, J'Tia, J'Tia.
Too few brains too late, probably.
Ah, the look at next week shows it's the merge. I'm surprised any of the brains have made it that far after such stupidity and ineptness!
Hi Jackie and special prayers for Lifeguard Laurie.
ReplyDeleteHope that snowstorm heading to the NE misses you Jackie.
And Hi everyone. =] Only brought junk food today. Got a bowl of peanut M&M's and a bowl of skittles. Help yourself.
~*~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. I have no food, only a case of Stella Artois Apple Cider.
Yes, David, prayers for Laurie.
ReplyDeleteWe're having rain, ending in perhaps a dusting of snow as the temps fall overnight. Today it was 60 degrees!
ReplyDeleteJackie - it made news here about a huge fire & collapsed building. Were you able to see it from your place?
ReplyDeleteGood, news was talking about 2 feet of snow in NE somewhere, wasn't paying that much attention. lol =]Glad it is finally warming up where you are.
ReplyDeleteHi all. Laurie, so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteHey all - almost forgot!!! Jackie, that was a nice shout out to Laurie. Thank you Laurie for putting us all together in the pool!
ReplyDeleteSnow is NNY, VT, NH, Maine. Here in Southern CT, we are only getting rain and an inch of snow. Thankfully!
ReplyDeleteHi folks.
ReplyDeleteMid-blizzard here.
OK, I brought chocolate this time… At Christmas time there's this great big box at Trader Joe's and it has the squishiest, smoothest, tastiest chocolates… and I saved a box just for tonight. (taking box top off and passing it)
ReplyDeleteNooooo!!! I hate it when they get chickens.
ReplyDeleteAwful news about Laurie. Prayers for her and her family.
ReplyDeleteTrader Joe's is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 60 in NY? Petals, pass a Stella pretty please
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Slipping in a little late tonight. :)))
ReplyDeleteOuch
ReplyDeleteDang, that tall guy should be on the ground, his crotch is taller than those posts.
ReplyDeleteThose chickens don't last long. No one has ever tried to get eggs from them.
ReplyDeleteIt was 60 in Rochester yesterday. It's currently 15 and dropping with a foot and a half of snow today and still snowing. Boy can things change on a dime.
ReplyDeleteThis is both comical and cruel
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that brain can't just put the stick on the mat? I don't understand that at all. J'Tia is useless. WTF? She's got to be able to feel the frigging mat.
ReplyDeleteJ'Tia is not good under pressure.
ReplyDeleteMan, that was SO CLOSE.
ReplyDelete*sliding a Stella to Rochelle*
The apple is really good.
Wow, that was a good comeback. Who do you blame for the loss?
ReplyDeleteHi every one. Got fried chicken here, but munching slowly.
Has anyone heard from Becky?
J'Tia is a waste of a castaway
ReplyDeletePenny, fried chicken, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI missed - What's happened to Laurie
ReplyDeleteOMG, idiots!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!??? Holy COW on these women!!!!
ReplyDeletePenny, her grandson died.
ReplyDeleteLadies...That is how they kill them...
ReplyDeleteHe's a lot smarter than you girl!!!
There they go again....ASSUMING Cliff doesn't need money?
ReplyDeleteI like Woo. I hope he doesn't flip on Cliff
ReplyDeleteHe's as paranoid as Cappy was!
ReplyDeletePenny, that always gets my goat too. We all could use a million bucks. Grrrr
ReplyDeletewhat a piece of s***, Officer Arrogance.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust the guy cop as far as you could throw him.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are idiots!
ReplyDeleteHe swore on his badge, then said, "that don't mean nuthin to me, I'm here to lie, cheat and steal".
ReplyDeleteWhat a tool.
Wouldn't you want to just brain Jeff for all the shit he would be shouting at you that totally blows your mental state in these challenges? Sometimes he picks on people and encourages others. SOmeone balancing on one toe for 4 hours in the sun really doesn't need him breaking their concentration do they? What's your vote-- do you like him doing this or not? Does it add to the drama and the gameplay for you?
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely stupid. I hope Woo can turn this. The man cop needs to go. He really does.
ReplyDeleteOf course @@
ReplyDeleteBraun could never throw it with the Brains in the mix!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Rochelle. Jeff can narrate into a mic for us without shouting at the competitors. It would be one thing if he was just describing the action, but he shouts commentary also.
ReplyDeleteI hate when they throw challenges. All to get rid of Cliff; I hope it backfires.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I don't think Brawn could lose to Brain even if they try to throw it.
ReplyDeleteJ'tia is j'useless
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with these people??? UGH!!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds, Joe ;-)
ReplyDeleteJoke is that Spencer is the only one on Brain that did anything in this challenge. And if they lose, they'll probably vote him out anyway. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hate Brawn for doing this.
ReplyDeleteOkay, these women should be ashamed of themselves. This pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteNow I'll say that Brawn deserves to be decimated!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...Brain is a one-man team. And they totally deserve it. They've done everything wrong.
ReplyDeleteLook at Bo & Luke Duke, kickin butt
ReplyDeleteAlmost every thrown competition that I can think of has backfired in the end. geeeesh
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what stupid thing Brain does this time.
ReplyDeleteThese women are so friggin stupid. For having brains, they are the dumbest people around. You watch these women vote out Spencer. I am so very upset. Dumb, Dumb people.
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes my boy Spencer :(((
ReplyDeleteJ'Tia needs to go. I hope they don't get rid of Spencer.
ReplyDeletelmao. Brawn was trying to throw it and Brain still lost.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if they vote out Spencer they better hope for a swap or a merge immediately. There is no way those 3 woman could win a challenge. If it was a coin toss, they'd lose the coin!
ReplyDeleteWHOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious, they tried to throw it, but you can't lose when J'tia is on the other team. If they don't vote her out, I want them to turn in their brain cards.
Jackie, send my prayers to Laurie.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ Joe
ReplyDeletesomehow, they are going to screw this up.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone found the immunity idol that got left behind?
ReplyDeleteSpencer was the person who did SO well. If these women vote him out, they are stupid. Come on women, keep that thought.
ReplyDeleteDo not go back and say anything to her!!!
Dang it, get rid of J'Tia.
Yeah, they will vote Spencer. They are IDIOTS!!! They are hoping to be absorbed at the merge @@
ReplyDeleteThese brains are the most brainless ever!
ReplyDeleteThey need to get rid of J'Tia. Tasha...do not be stupid.
ReplyDeleteThese women are absolutely DUMB!!!
They're hoping for a tribe swap, but that's a gamble.
ReplyDeleteUhm. Bad grammar for a "brain"
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.
ReplyDeleteIs she joking????
ReplyDeleteThey think they will be absorbed? They will be the first one voted off.
Geesh, ladies, I hope none of these women make it to the end. Even if T'Shia is my pool pick, I want her gone. UGH, UGH!
Use that BRAIN women
ReplyDeleteAND, he DID the entire last challenge almost single handedly.
ReplyDeleteYES
ReplyDeleteI almost can't believe that tribe did something smart...lmao
ReplyDeleteYEs! They should have done this week 1!
ReplyDeleteAt least she wished them luck. Good sport in the end.
ReplyDeleteTHANK GOD!!!!
ReplyDeleteI almost wish they had voted Spencer out. The look on the other tribes' faces next week would have been classic! lmao
ReplyDeleteWhao!!! Good going!!! Wow, they finally used their brains. Phew~~
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. Tell Laura I'm praying for her. How so sad for her family and her.
See everyone Sunday. I really hope Becky is okay.
LOL @ Joe!
ReplyDeleteFinally got rid of that worthless.....LOL
ReplyDeleteThat you Jackie for hosting =D
Hey, I'd like to send something to Laurie, an arrangement or plant or a teapot or something. I will leave you guys my email address, and if you'd like to be included or contribute, feel free. No obligations.
ReplyDeletejlmcc1031@gmail.com
Joe, my brother still lives in UpState NY and they're suppose to get 12" tonight.
ReplyDeleteI hope they do a tribe swap next week so Spencer can eat something.
ReplyDeleteShuffle next week, so the remaining brains are the bottom of the totem pole anyway probably.
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. See all of you fine folks next week and keeping Laurie in my prayers.
Oh dear. What a change for them. I wonder who goes where.
ReplyDeleteSee all Sunday and next week.
NOOOOOO I don't want a tribe swap! I want to see Brains finish getting decimated.
ReplyDeleteYes, Nickel, we're supposed to get another 6-12 inches tonight.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, the biggest problem is the blowing more than the snow. There is no snow on my front stoop but there is a 4 foot tall drift to the left of my front door. LOL.
Thanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteSee you folks on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Jackie.
Joe, it is always so nice when the wind does the shoveling for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good thoughts and support.
