Welp, I guess with the title of the episode, it's going to be another Tony-heavy show. His detractors probably won't be too pleased with that. Well, unless he gets the boot, that is. I don't know ... I'm personally glad Tony is on the show this season. The rest of the castaways tend to be a bit lackluster. With the exception of Spencer and Tasha, no one really seems to be seriously playing the game. Woo has his moments, but he's got to bring more to the table. He's a follower.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real blog party will be in the comments. Come imbibe and discuss the show with us as it airs!

Survivor fans ready? Let the show begin!
Kass is going up against Tony ... for both real and imagined (misunderstood) reasons. This isn't going to be pretty.
Gah. Tony tells Kass he has a special idol. Thankfully, she doesn't believe him. He hasn't told her its powers, but ...! Sheesh, Tony. Loose lips sink ships.
It's Reward Challenge time -- two teams of three throwing sandbags to destroy the other team's wall, one member rebuilds the wall. Nourishment for the soul -- a trip to a local elementary school to bring supplies, hamburgers and such.
Spencer, Kass and Woo win reward!
Kass has a plan to flush the idol from Tony with Woo and Spencer. Woo is thinking it's time to cut off Tony. We'll see.
Spencer went to Tasha with the plan to split the votes between Tnoy and Trish. Woo told Tony that Kass wants to go for Tasha. Hmmm.
Immunity Challenge time. Will Tasha go for four? Race out, count items at six stations, unlock a lock, break a tile.
Spencer wins immunity!
Tribal Council time ...
Tony does not play an idol.
Tasha, Tony, Trish, Tasha, Tasha.
Argh. I'd prefer Kass going! Tasha was such a strong challenge player and even strategic with the odds against her in numbers.
hi folks
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting again...
ReplyDeleteNo matter how big an ass Tony is, Kass always annoys me more...
ReplyDeleteIf anyone was being condescending there, it was Kass with her lecture...
ReplyDeleteHey there, Joe! I agree with you about Kass. To me, she's more annoying than Tony.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Are we ready for Tony? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhere is everybody?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Kass is next. If she's smart, she'll find someone and stay with them, but she won't, so vote her out!!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up Kass...take the sights off of Spencer. LOL
ReplyDeleteTony actually sort of complimented her, saying she was usually up early.
ReplyDeleteBecky doesn't feel well. I'm not sure about anyone else.
ReplyDeleteJeff Probst was on The Talk show today and said that this year's Survivor is the most popular ever. I'm not sure where he got that information but I'd say he is wrong!!
ReplyDeleteI finally got my voice back after 4 days. Went to the doctor yesterday and she thinks it's allergies gone wild. My doctor of 10 years moved to Ohio State Medical. Now, I have to start over with another one. My eyes and ears hurt so bad. She upped my mg of my allergy medicine. :::Sigh:::
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Joe, Penny and other late arrivals.
ReplyDeletePenny is correct. I picked up a terrible virus at River Ridge. I swear a nursing home is as bad a day care with germs flying around.
Late but I've been watching while doing laundry. Kass!!! omg
ReplyDeleteKass is condescending. Tony is obnoxious and cocky.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like Tony, but that was smart. Make them try to vote him out and he'll play the special idol. I don't know if they believe him or not, lol!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hi everyone -- late because I almost forgot! Shocked at myself...
ReplyDeleteKass has no idol. Therefore, there's really not a lot of point in her pursuing that argument. She would have been much better served by just letting it go. Her social game sucks.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think her game sucks period.
ReplyDeletethe problem with copying someone in a two person race is that you'll always be behind the other team...
ReplyDeleteI went to the nursing home today for the first time since last Thurs. That is the longest I have not gone to see her. Usually it is every day.
ReplyDeleteTony is a bully. I do not like bullys.
Ah, not impressed with the Brain doing the puzzle.
Dang, I do not want Tony to win. Darn
ReplyDeleteYEA!
ReplyDeleteYay, for my boy Spencer and Woo!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Tasha having to stay behind with those two.
ReplyDeleteThat was great team work with Kass and Spencer. Who would have thought.
ReplyDeleteI know that had to have really bothered you, Becky. You usually see momma every day. How are momma and Tommy?
ReplyDeleteI continue to be a little surprised at how lazy the women are. I mean, we've often had the young people seeming a bit lazy, but Kass and Trish aren't that young. I kind of expect more from them.
ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping Tony targets Kass. She is so annoying. It won't even matter if Spencer tries to change Woo and Kass's mind about Tony because he has 2 idols. It almost guarantees him to the final 4.
ReplyDeleteBecky, those were BOTH "brains" doing the puzzle...
ReplyDeleteLove Woo!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Kass is going home. She's getting a lot of attention.
ReplyDeleteAt least Kass provided comic relief.
ReplyDeleteSays you, Kass...we'll see...lol
ReplyDeleteThis will come back to bite Spencer in the A$$. Tony gets wind of it and Spencer is gone.
ReplyDeleteKass is an effing idiot. Trying to engineer a 3 way split??? It requires her to coordinate EVERYONE'S vote.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Late again. Please don't vote me off the island LOL
ReplyDeleteWoo is awesome! *hearts*
Come on Woo....play the game. He's not going to change his mind. He's with Tony all the way. He's hard to read.
ReplyDeleteWoo has been Tony's staunchest ally. Even if he flips, you've got to somehow lie to Trish to get her to vote the way you want, lie to Tony to get him to vote the way you want...too hard. Easier to arrange a 4-2 vote against Tony
ReplyDeleteI agree Monty. This will come back and bit him. They do not realize how much power that one idol has. Tony is really guaranteed a spot in the Final 4. If Woo tells Tony, it will definitely be Spencer or Kass...hopefully Kass.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the special idol could be voted after a revote...
ReplyDeleteNot smart, Woo!
ReplyDeleteTony is so smart...to bad he's such a jerk. Woo, you are not smart at all.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone (Jackie? Monty? Joe?) an expert on the rules of Survivor? Remember the "one luxury item"? Well, the past few seasons, I've noticed that they are all shaved. The chicks underarms. The guys mustaches, etc...
ReplyDeletePlus the castaway wardrobe being color coordinated?
Have those rules changed? Apparently razors are now allowed?
Woo is not that bright...how the heck is Spencer going to vote Tasha off when she was his only real ally...
ReplyDeleteI don't think they all shaved. One of the girls going to the Ponderosa complained about her armpit hair. I don't believe they've had their own personal luxury items for a few years now. They used to mention it in the bios, no longer.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the special idol will be used tonight. I wonder if they will target Woo now? I hope not. I'd rather see Kass go.
ReplyDeleteNooo! Woo no go!
ReplyDeleteThe guys could shave with the machete, Petals.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't a good underarm wax last for 30 days? I mean at least enough so it wouldn't be visible on TV
ditto Penny!
ReplyDeleteDidn't a group of them last year, who went on a special excursion, bring back a razor? I thought that happened a few times???
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that Trish is Kass's second target...
ReplyDeleteUhm..maybe. That could be the case with the chicks. But do you really think the guys are shaving their mustaches with a machete? How would the sharpen it? (not trying to come-off as contrary)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Kelly from SEASON #1 still holds the record.
ReplyDeleteTony's guaranteed final four with his two idols unless he does something stupid and gives one to Trish tonight.
ReplyDeletePetals, it doesn't have to be that sharp to do a shave. I've seen guys in past season seem to be shaving with it. YOu just sort of drag it across.
ReplyDeleteOuchie, Joe! But OK, point taken. But I still think they maybe are allowed razors.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope Spencer, Tasha or Woo win
ReplyDeleteI like Woo, but he is a bit of a simpleton...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do this after 30 days.
ReplyDeleteWoo is having the most fun, anyway.
ReplyDeletefatigue is going to be a huge issue soon. That's a long run through the sand every time.
ReplyDeleteWho do you all think???
ReplyDeleteTasha I bet
ReplyDeleteWooohoooooooooo
ReplyDeleteWooHoo!!! Go Spencer, GO!
ReplyDeleteDon't let Tasha go, make it Kass, please, please.
ReplyDeleteWell, tribal should be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteGood for Spencer. I did not I would like him, but I do. He's got a quirky sense of humor. For Tasha and him to be there this long, who would have thought the Brains would even be there now?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Tasha doesn't go. Hope it is Trish or Kass, since it can't be Tony.
ReplyDeleteOh no, anyone but Woo.
ReplyDeleteSo, how is everyone doing this week?
It could be anyone of the three now. Tashia, Kass or Woo. Tony isn't voting Trish out and who knows what they will do now. Or what Kass will do is more to the point.
ReplyDeleteTony is just way smarter than the rest of them...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think Woo will vote with Tony.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Tony wins no matter what. He's got two Idols to protect him.
Omg, here she goes!!!
ReplyDeleteYou just KNOW that Kass is going to screw this up. She is such a dumb ass, but she thinks she's just all that...
ReplyDeleteI would love this to boomerang on Kass, though I don't see how...
ReplyDeleteI can not stand her. You can not trust her. If it were between Tony or her, he'd get my vote. What a rat.
ReplyDeleteNot Tasha :(
ReplyDeleteNow I think it will be Tashia. SAD :((
ReplyDeleteTash came a long way, against many odds...
ReplyDelete(off topic: watch "Labor Day", such amazing performance from Kate, and an interesting love story)
ReplyDeleteIt's either really hot and humid here, or it's raining, or they are sweating, they sure are shiny.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tashia
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the movie "Labor Day." I like both Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin
ReplyDeleteTony is right. If you are an alliance, no point in flushing the idol. He can't play it in the final 4 anyway. And if you think he has 2 idols, there really is no point in flushing at all.
ReplyDeleteI think Wu voted Tasha :(
ReplyDeleteIt it's not Trish, I will be so extremely surprised. How sad. I hope I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteDammit, Kass!!!
ReplyDeleteThey were all just so sure it was going to work. That smug look on Kass...
ReplyDeleteCrap...see Kass and Woo voted with Tony. Crap
ReplyDeleteOoops, I meant if it's NOT TASHA, I'll be surprised.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't so mad, I'd give mad props to Kass for that. I think I officially dislike her more than Tony now. UGH
ReplyDeleteThat Tony is harder to get rid of than a cockroach.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Jackie.
Drat. Now I'm hoping Wu or maybe Spencer can pull off a win. I won't enjoy it much if it comes down to Tony, Kass, and the non-entity whose name I can't remember right now!
ReplyDeleteThey all think taking Tony to the final will be in their advantage, but it won't. Crap
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie for inviting us in.
Woo is basically a follower. If Kass and Tony both vie against each other at the end, both are annoying ... it would be down to who played a better game. That would be Tony, for sure.
ReplyDeleteKass....my God, she's going to be insufferable thinking she won something there. But she has undermined Spencer again, undermined Tasha AGAIN!, demonstrated to Woo that she wasn't loyal. What the hell...
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Jackie. Appreciate it. See everyone Sunday. I'll be working next Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteTony had a lot of luck with idol finding though.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. See all of you fine folks next week.
ReplyDeleteTony just looked in the kind of places where they've hidden them in the past. He worked to find them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteSupposedly Trish was the most popular with the jury. She could win if she makes final 3.
ReplyDeleteTony's big problem here is who he wants to sit with at the end. I think he needs to take Kass and Woo. He can beat (maybe) Woo by painting him as the follower. Kass might be the only person who's stabbed more people in the back than Tony.
