Survivor fans ready?
When I checked the listing for tonight's show, it mentioned something to the effect of a "confrontational Tribal Council." Huh. Really? It seems like that's the norm rather than the exception!
As the show airs here, I'll update this post with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to "see" you there!
Before we get into the show, here are the latest blog pool standings from that Rockin' Lifeguard Laurie:
Carolyn - Jackie, TerryinTX
Dan - Brian, CherylinNC
Mike - meb, Nickelpeed
Rodney - Margo
Shirin - NanaintheNW
Sierra - Jennasmom
Tyler - Donna in Alabama, ORK Mommy
Will - Rbennie
Jury
Hali
Joe
Jenn
Let's get started!
Dan pretends to sympathize with Shirin, then turns around and tells us how horrible he thinks she is. Pot/kettle/black in my opinion.
Reward Challenge time -- divided into two teams, transport tribe members with planks and barrels and such across field. The reward is a catamaran trip with burgers and pie. Woot woot. It's a schoolyard pick. Blue is Rodney, Mike, Shirin and Sierra. Red is Tyler, Dan, Will, Carolyn. Red wins!
The four remaining at camp killed off the last chicken. Rodney reminds us he hasn't won not one reward. Too bad, so sad.
Sierra thinks they should get Tyler out, keep Shirin because no one would ever vote for her to win the million. Meanwhile, Rodney thinks he himself is the biggest threat and is sure to win. @@
Dan considers his group on Reward are his allies. We'll see if that sticks.
Immunity Challenge time -- hold onto a rope handle attached to 25% of body weight, eventually weaken, drop water bucket on head. Last man and last woman both win Immunity.
Sierra out, Tyler out, Will out, Dan out, Shirin out. Carolyn wins for the women. Rodney out. Mike wins Immunity (second time in a row) for the men.
The plan is to take Shirin out tonight. She tells Dan they're all incredibly stupid to vote her out. What an approach! She pushes her vote Tyler out agenda. Meanwhile, Tyler snags Dan's bag to see what's inside. Tyler tells Carolyn about Dan's extra vote advantage. Tyler's worried.
Mike knows the vote is leaning towards Shirin. He tells us he could shake up the whole game by giving her his idol. Hmm.
It's Tribal Council time once again. Back to the Will attack on Shirin during the last tribal. Shirin tries telling them that not voting out Tyler would lose them a million dollars as he's the biggest threat and she's no threat.
Mike pulls out the idol before the vote and says he'll use it on Shirin. Is it a bluff? Shirin will vote Tyler and he will randomly vote. Jeff calls it Survivor Roulette.
He does NOT play the idol.
Tyler, Shirin, Dan, Tyler, Shirin, Dan, Shirin, Shirin.
Well played, guys. I didn't think he'd waste the idol on her when he needs it. Now they know he has it.

Hi Jackie and everyone who shows up.
I have pitchers of Strawberry Moscato Lemonade over at the bar. Fresh strawberries and lemons.... yummy
Hi everyone.
Hope all is well.
I thought Mike still had his idol. I guess it was the fake idol he used on Will.
Monty, that sounds SOOOOOO good!!!
Hi, there! I thought he used it, too. But I guess not.
Little does he know, he is at the bottom of the alliance. Mike is telling the truth. Blind leading the blind.
I think Will is pretty bad. What he said was so mean. Dan is no better.
Penny, I was in your neck of the woods over the weekend. Bowled in Dayton.
Dan's a creep
Hi folks
OK, this human verification is getting tough. I had a hard time identifying the sushi. LOL
Most of these folks aren't terribly likeable. I mean, you can't really dislike them in most cases, but they aren't very lovable.
Hard to imagine Blue getting all the way across without slipping onto the sand. MIke would have to have the best body control ever.
Hey Joe! You can skip the WV. Just hit publish
Do you have to use the planks. Kind of seems like you could just go from barrel to barrel.
Don't know who to root for.
Hi MOnty
It seems to make me do the first verification. Or maybe I just got here before it was turned off.
Hi everyone here and future arrivals. =)
Just going to hang back and watch a while as I am finishing up some paperwork.
I dislike Rodney so, so much.
Cool. Where'd you go bowling, Monty
I'm rooting for Mike even though I didn't like him in the beginning. I really dislike almost everyone left out there.
We bowled at Capri Lanes and then Beaver Vu in Beavercreek. State tournament.
I can't cheer for Mike, Rodney, Shirin, Dan or Mama C.
I don't feel like I know Sierra at all.
I really do not trust a lot of these people. All seem so dishonest. I hate people going through others bags and it disappointed me when Tyler did that to Dan. I do not like Dan, but that was so wrong.
I'm going to continue to root for Mike, not just because he's my pool pick, but because I think he does step up and takes responsibility when he needs to.
Ah, forgot about Sierra. I don't have a problem with her.
What's your bowling average, Monty? You must be really good!! I haven't bowled for years. Used to be in a league years ago.
Hi all! I haven't been participating in the pool much lately, still recovering from some post-op surgery.
I've been lurking however & trying to keep up with the show. I too don't have a 'fave'. Not rooting for anyone in particular. Maybe Mike?? but the deck seems stacked against him.
Hi all...bettor late than never.
I like Sierra, too. The rest, forget it.
Dan is an idiot. Tyler is lying through his teeth. They know they they did this. I'm hoping everything goes wrong for them. Dan is too stupid.
Hey, everyone. Jackie, thank you for hosting. I am having trouble with my computer. Almost never got to the blog.
Hey, everyone. Jackie, thank you for hosting. I am having trouble with my computer. Almost never got to the blog.
Sierra is right though...I think tyler can and will win this game.
My bowling average has gone down about 15 pins from around five years ago. Only bowl one night a week now and it shows. I think I ended with a 165 this season. I just go to the tournaments for the trip, the food and the fun. If I bowl good, that's icing on the cake. :))
Hey, everyone. Jackie, thank you for hosting. I am having major computer problems. I had trouble getting on the blog and my posts wouldn't post. Trying again.
Ed- I hope the recovery is coming along well!
Your comments are there, Becky!
Seeing your post, Becky. How you been feeling?
Ed, pray your recovery goes well.
Cool, man and woman.
I hope Mike gets this. I want to ruin the other's plans.
I hope Sierra wins for the women.
Hi Ed & Becky. Hope all is going well Ed with your recovery.
interesting change
Thanks Jackie! I had a few rough patches there for awhile but things are improving.
Let's see, Dan and Will will be the first 2 out. Maybe Shereez
Shut up Jeff!
This should be interesting. You'd think Shirin has a chance here
Mama C is very focused. She has good control. I just do not want her to win.
Dang for Sierra. Darn.
agreed joe
Mama C looks like a statue
isnt carolyn the cop...she should be in pretty decent shape
Come on Mike
How is Rodney even holding in there in that position? He must have incredibly strong forearms.
I was wrong, I though for sure Dan and Will would be first two out.
Dang, I did not want Carolyn to win. Crap.
Dan is very telling here. What a creep
Yay, Mike
Come on Mike. Don't let Rodney get it. Mike knows he's in trouble.
YAYAYAYAYAY
Well, I see ALL my posts did appear. Come on Mike. Hang tough. WTG, Mike!
Rodney is all talk
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'm doing much better now.
It was an 'elective' surgery and neither I nor my doctors foresaw the unexpected complications.
wtg mike
Dan was so blantant. Mike heard that and he knows he's got to keep on winning.
Shirin will probably go home.
Kind of amazing how quickly Mike dropped down the pecking order. Top to bottom in about 2 weeks.
Mike wins again!
I am so sorry to hear that Ed. Hopefully, you are over that problem and things will go better now. Sending out prayers to you.
I wish they would turn on Dan. Then he could see that Mike was telling the truth. You know they are not going to vote Rodney out.
I'd love to see them turn on Dan, Becky. I don't think they will this week, but they will eventually. He's too arrogant for me.
I know, Joe. It's something isn't it? Mike was there on top, but when they merged, things changed. Rodney really changed the dynamics with Mama C and Tyler. They are good at digging in, even though Mike is telling the truth.
Ohhh how I wish they would get rid of
Rodney but you are right, it will probably be Sharin.
i hope they send dn packing...which could happen once tyler finds out his advantage..hes gonna want to get rid of him
Two peas in a pod. Rodney is so nasty. I sure wish it would be one of the others going home.
Shirin is gone.
I would love to see the the tables turned. But, in this case, they won't change their minds.
Dan is disgusting.
Tyler already knows Dan's advantage. He got in to Dan's back pack and found the advantage.
Shirin's workin' it! I'll give her that much.
This could be Dan's night to go bye-bye
I spoke before it happened. LOL
Maybe this will change their minds.
Tyler is actually very smart. I wish Mike could turn the tables.
I hope he finds out Tyler got in to his bag. That would change everything. Dan is so stupid. Do not tell him, Mike. Do not tell him about the idol.
mike would be stupid to use in idol...geez
Don't do it Mike. Do not do this. However, if everyone votes Sharin and Mike votes Tyler, Tyler is gone. This would set up Mike to be targeted next week. Not good.
At least he was adopted. It is very different from being from an abusive home.
These people are horrible. Absolutely horrible. Very mean.
It's worth considering if you are Mike. If he keeps the idol, it guarantees him one more week, but he has no allies. If he uses it, he might be able to flip Sierra and with Shirin that's 3 people and he only needs one more.
I do not like Sharin, but she has a point.
They are so stupid. Mike has been loyal, Rodney and Dan have not be loyal. It's stupid.
So, he's saying he's smarter than the rest, right?
You'd think Will would want to make a pro forma apology.
This is clever. He might not have to actually play it.
Woohoo... I love it
BOLD move!!!
Great move, Mike!
Why would he do that? I would have waited because all he and Sharin had to do was vote Tyler. Then give her the idol. Now, this is going to be good.
i hope they dont tyler out....i like him..hes the only one i can take
I love the looks on their faces.
Sorry I'm so late but it is my husband's birthday and I had to make enchiladas for him. Should have started earlier LOL
SueGee on the LeftCoast
It's like playing chicken.
Will Dan use his extra???
They voted Dan, you watch.
The question is: did anyone expect Mike to pocket it and stick to the plan.
Bluffed! Will it work?
Dan is quickly discovering where he is in the alliance.
Crap!!
i am confused
Why didn't he use it????
Nice try Mike! Too bad it didn't work.
Should have got rid of Dan
At least they know he has it. That surprised me.
That's a good play. He guarantees safety next week. Dan's been educated on his position. Should be fun next week.
Penny - He needs to keep it for himself. He knows he's the biggest target.
Actually pretty smart by the 4 who voted Shirin. They figured that worst case scenario Tyler goes home.
Thanks for hosting, Jackie. I am pulling for Mike. Joe was my favorite and I do not like any of the others.
Well, at least he has the idol and brought out the turncoats. We'll see what happens next week. Will they hate Mike more?
I still don't much like Mike, but I have to respect that play. He got the most out of the idol. And now the 6 know they have to turn on each other which will force them to scramble. The only problem is that even if Dan and Sierra realize they are on the bottom, it's still 4 against 3.
that true joe..even if he doesnt win imuunity he plays his idol to stay next week....he bought himself another week
Thank you so much, Jackie. See everyone Friday. I work next Wednesday and Friday. But will be here for the finale!!!
Thanks Jackie =)
Everyone have a good evening.
Dan still has two votes. So, it would be 4-4.
Hahaha, looks like next week will be good!! Thanks Jackie. Will see everyone next week.
Good Night All! Thanks Jackie!
Thanks for coming by!
Dang, thank God for DVRs, I work next week so I'll miss the next episoe. Darn. :-(
