Survivor fans ready? Tonight's 90-minute season premiere will be followed up by a 90-minute season premiere for The Amazing Race 26. The TAR blog party post will show up a few minutes before that premiere. So, if you're watching both shows, refresh the blog main page at show time to join in on that party!
Here we go again. This time the gimmick, er ... twist, is that the castaways are separated by the kind of jobs they have in real life. Like every other twist separating castaways, all will be null and void once it comes to the merge. But, let's see how they do.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be posting the major happenings in live time here on this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news!
The Lovely Lifeguard Laurie is once again running the blog pool (thank you!) Any castaway(s) booted tonight will result in the blog pool people who had them being reassigned to another castaway. Here are our random match-ups for the season:
Blue Collar
Dan - Brian, CherylinNC
Kelly - Petals, Ed in Ohio
Lindsey - Donna in FL, David
Mike - meb, Nickelpeed
Rodney - Margo
Sierra - Jennasmom
No Collar
Hali - Zoetawny, monty924
Jenn - Merrilee, Becky
Joe - SueGee, Chris
Nina - Lynn1
Vince - Delee
Will - Rbennie
White Collar
Carolyn - Jackie TerryinTX
Joaquin - Laurie, Rochelle
Max - PDX Granny, Marlo
Shirin - NanaintheNW
So - ORKMommy
Tyler - Donna in Alabama
Okay, it's on with the show we will go!
Jeff is introducing the tribes. All newbies, no veterans of the show and many are big fans. Yellow is WC, Blue is BC and Red is NC. Jeff wants them each to pick a leader. WC chooses Joaquin. BC picks Dan. NC picks Will. Each of them have to pick a second member. So for WC, BC has Mike, NC has Jenn. Once they get to their camps, the two "in charge" must make a big decision for their tribe. Hmm.
Deceive -- they can a small bag of beans to camp and get an idol clue
Honesty -- they can bring big bag of beans back, no clue.
Jenn/Will take the big beans, Mike/Dan the same -- their tribe is already talking about how they actually took the small bag. Joaquin wants the advantage and ally with So. They go for the small bag. So feels like she's making a deal with the devil. She just might be. Their tribe also thinks they're lying.
BC has a fire built in less than two hours.
Must Dan wear a speedo while he calls himself a fat man? He's alienated most of his tribe due to his mouth or bossiness.
Joe earns brownie points with his tribe because he has now made fire without a flint.
Oh my gosh ... Carolyn, my pool person, found an idol without a clue. Mind you, Joaquin and So did NOT share the clue nor the fact they had one. Ha! WC can't start a fire, nor build a shelter.
Immunity Challenge -- free a ladder and bring it through a series of obstacles, then choose a puzzle to solve out of three. The puzzles each address a different approach to thinking. First place winner gets reward of a fire-making kit, second place gets a flint. Last place gets to go to Tribal.
NO COLLAR wins! Blue Collar wins second place. White Collar gets to go to Tribal and someone will go home.
So is working on getting Carolyn out even though Shirin is the one who blew the puzzle. Thankfully Carolyn has an idol and a clue that her name is being brought up. She tells Tyler (who let her know the others are talking about her going) about the idol. Now Carolyn is working to get So out.
Tribal Council time! Catfight time. Meow! So voted Carolyn and vice versa.
The tally -- Carolyn does not use the idol.
Carolyn, So, Carolyn, So, So, So.
So is voted out first of the season!

SueGee on the LeftCoast
Hi Laurie SueGee and Penny
So Laurie - the football player you looked up is famous at Cal - hit the winning field goal in the 3rd overtime vs USC back a few years ago
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Hey, lynn, Laurie, SueGee, and Penny!
My Hali looks like she going to eaten alive out there. Hope I'm wrong.
Hi everyone =)
Gooooo Lindsey. Better to say it now since I know nothing about any of them. I might end up not liking her.
Hello everyone! Using my tablet. ..hope this works! I missed you guys!
Hi David and Petala
Hey, David and Petals. So happy to be back at the pool. :)))
OMGosh, they live up to their name, don't they? LOL
Penny
AR after this. Just checked and AR is on again Friday. 2 shows in the same week. Too bad it is on Friday.
Hello everyone!
I brought some fried chicken and potato salad for everyone. It's over on the bar. Help yourself.
Funny... Laurie, I made chicken tonight for dinner but there were no leftovers. Yummy!!
I did stock the bar though when I got here. Enjoy!
Hi everyone...i hope the snow doesnt knock out the power here at home tonight!! Lucky me got a blue collar for my pool pick...yeaaaaaa!
CherylinNC
Hi, All! And, yes, David. The TAR post which will magically pop up just before 9:30 ET mentions that the second episode airs this Friday, like day after tomorrow.
Man, that's a scrawny little racoon.
Penny
Hi Cheryl... I feel your pain regarding the snow and electric. This has been two crazy weeks here.
I have a big pot of homemade vegetable beef soup and some cheddar cheese garlic biscuits.
Hi Cheryl
I sawn that movie, The day After tomorrow. I hope that is not the result we get having 2 TAR's in the same week. =)
Hi Everybody! Jumpin' in late. Just got home, gonna' have to catch up!
It's freezing rain here, but was 59° earlier.
Hi Ed
Oh! I nearly forgot, i have hot fresh banana bread.
Hi Lynn! Soup sounds good with all this cold weather.
Hey, Ed!! Petals, it was -5 when I went to work yesterday morning and it was 41* when I left work today. Mother Nature is very fickle this winter.
Thank u for stocking the bar, Monty. I need a drink!
It is nice to see the warm tropical location of Survivor with miserable weather many of us are living with
Hi Monty! It's been below zero almost every night & morning here. Schools are off every other day!
Hey Monty.......O H......
Not raccoon. Coatimundi.
Mmmm, banana bread is a favorite of mine. I'm going to make one for tomorrow after the show.
Hey Jadckie,Vincent and pool people. I got distracted and forgot to come on line. I have missed being at Jackie's.
Oh yeah, Ed. I-O :))
Hi Silk & Becky
Think it is time for a new keyboard. Having trouble spelling lately. The cause could be that all the letters are worn off except the Q,X,V, and J, but not 100% sure. =)
Banana Bread (with walnuts) one of my all time faves!
Without is good too!
Monty, I brought my first place award winning apple pie to finnish the meal.
Warm banana bread with a little real butter or cream cheese yum
SueGee
2 loaves. One with nuts, one without. Sweet whipped butter is on the counter. ..
We need to save some of this food for the second show LOL
SueGee
It really is a 1st place pie.
Uh oh, my pool pick is already heaving. LOL
Penny
Hey Becky! Great to see everyone again.
The Banana Bread smells so good, Petals!!! Yum.
I haven't been able to watch the show yet (long story). Is Kelly a guy or a girl. And are they cool?
Boy, he's calling the kettle black, isn't he? LOL
no surprise the white collar took deceit...i am surprised the blue collar girls didnt trust their guys though
cherylinnc
I'm with you Penny Vince is trying to run the show on his team
Petals, Kelly is Definitely a Girl!
We both have her as our pool pick.
Our church had a catered dinner for Valentine's Day. Dessert was to be furnish by the members with a bake contest with a winner. I took a dessert, but did not register it for the contest. The minister's wife came by our table and asked me if I got a number for my pie. I told her no, it wasn't for judging and why. She laughed and walked away. She put a number on it and it won. Then I had to get up in front of a room full of Baptists and tell them their award winning dessert was a Mrs. Smith's Deep Dish Apple pie! They made me keep the award.
Kelly's a state trooper, Petals. Seems okay/cool so far.
Wow, they are showing a lot of team dynamics. No competition right now. Must be holding it for the last 1/2 hour.
Those girls are not nice.
Oh Becky, that is funny!!!
Agree with you, Penny. A lot of catty women this season. I'm happy that Hali is under that radar for now. She seems like a little mouse who might surprise me.
Oh my eyes. @@ That Fat Dude in thing underwear was something I may never be able to forget
He's not really a free spirit, is he? Vince is very, very competetive. Not a nice guy. People better watch out for him.
Penny
Oh God...I hate Kelly! She talks like a dumn man.
I don't care for feather boy.
I meant thong underwear
She's a ballbuster with bad grammar. Ugh
Good one Becky!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
I must have missed something with Kelly.
Ed, you & I are in the Kelly boat together! LOL
That's funny that the white collar had to sleep on a horrible shelter. You can tell they are not used to making things. Too used to others doing it for them. LOL
"try to watch you do that"? As in, I am will try to see you?
How about "I will watch you try to do that"?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
(sorry, I'm having issues)
WTF is with Lil Hiawatha and his avian headpiece?
Dang... found the idol without a clue. Ever since Russell there's been a lot of that happening on Survivor, LOL
Joe is cute! That feather guy has man-envy
I like Carolyn. So glad she found the idol. So there So and Joaquin!!!
Is Jenn the one that feather boy questioned?
I agree Penny.
I like Kelly so far. And, Carolyn is my blog pick with an idol!
Finally, a challenge!!!
Avian headpiece, LOL
Come on No Collar
Blue Collar is a hot mess
Every season we wonder why anyone would apply for the show and not learn how to make fire!
Just applying to Amazaning Race and not learning to drive shift.
YAY!!! No Collar... Hali safe tonight
Joe is HOT, I really like Joe. When Kelly is voted out from the Clueless Collar tribe, I will root for Joe. LOL
Yay No collar
Why would you pick 50 pieces???
Good!
Shoot. They sure showed me...
Talk about reinforcing stereotypes, LOL
Joe is a C-U-T-I-E!!
Why is Carolyn one of the weakest links? So needs to go, IMO
I like Joe from No Collar. But, my pool pick is Mike on blue collar. Go Mike!
Previews look like it will be another season of yelling at your partner. It was nice last season without all the back biting.
All couples this season, Becky. Oh joy!! I see a lot of bickering coming.
I hope it's not Carolyn. I like her.
However, I would not have told anyone I had the idol.
I think So is going bye-bye
Too, too funny. Cat fight!!!
If it's So, I'll be surprised.
Geez! This tribe is spilling their guts right from jump street!
I hope she plays the Idol.
I would have used it.
WOW! I am surprised, but really happy!!!
Wow Carolyn's a gambler!
Too Bad "SO" sad
Good. I can't believe that Carolyn didn't play the idol.
LOL Lynn :))
See everyone in the next hour. Are we changing titles? LOL
For those not in to TAR, I'll see you next week!!!
Thank you, Jackie!
Penny
Good one Lynn.
My blog pick made it idol intact! The The Amazing Race post is up.
Big risk there but it paid off. Thanks Jackie for the party tonight. I'll probably just sit in the corner of the pool and read comments during TAR. I have some baking to do.
Night all :)))
See all of you over at Jackie's TAR page
Okay, changing blogs.
Thank you all for stopping by!
