Survivor fans ready?
Mike no longer has an idol and everyone knows it. Dan still has his two vote advantage and a few people know about that thanks to Tyler (booted last week). Carolyn still has an idol and no one knows it except Tyler who's off relaxing at the Ponderosa. We still have six castaways going into tonight's penultimate episode. Next week's (Wednesday night) season finale is to be two hours followed by the hour-long reunion show. (Followed by Letterman's last show later on!)
Will they oust Mike? Perhaps blindside Dan tonight? I just don't know. 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! And, as always, please join in on the party down in the comments area. Bring snacks ... and cold beverages, please!
Before we get into the show, here are the latest blog pool standings from that Lovely Lifeguard Laurie:
Carolyn - Jackie, TerryinTX
Dan - Brian, CherylinNC
Mike - meb, Nickelpeed
Rodney - Margo
Sierra - Jennasmom
Will - Rbennie
Jury
Hali
Joe
Jenn
Shirin
Tyler
Let's get started!
Mike knows he won't last long without either an Immunity idol or winning Immunity each challenge. Carolyn wants to keep Mike as an ally option and focus on getting Dan out. She tells Mike about Dan's extra vote advantage.
Rewards Challenge - Two teams, race obstacles, untie knots, hatchet ropes, all leading to a puzzle. It's a helicopter tour of Nicaragua and a feast. Rodney whines more at Jeff's prompting.
Both teams are stumped on the puzzle. They're both stumped still at an hour into the puzzle. Finally Carolyn, Mike and Will win Reward. Rodney is out AGAIN. Heh. Carolyn is the one who finally realized what the puzzle clue was ... now she's on the fence about giving Rodney his turn. Nope. She keeps it for herself. Good for her! He hasn't won it!
Rodney whines and whines about Carolyn not giving him her Reward. Meanwhile, Dan finds some unknown watermelon-like fruit and wins both Rodney's and Sierra's favor.
Tree mail hints that good hand, eye, coordination and patience will be virtues in the next Immunity Challenge. Mike is trying to scheme. He tells Sierra of Dan's advantage. But she also doesn't want to be with Mike at the end -- everyone is afraid of that.
Immunity Challenge time. Retrieve three bags with grappling hooks. Bags contain balls. Solve a table maze. Mike WINS IMMUNITY! (And he needs it.)
Dan pushes the Carolyn must go move. Meanwhile, they're thinking it's Dan that should go.
Will Carolyn heed the warning from Mike that Will, Dan and Rodney will be voting for her to go?
It's Tribal Council time. They're not showing any of the votes.
Dan uses his advantage -- two votes. He goes off to cast his second vote. I'd say Carolyn needs to use her idol. YES! She plays it! Dan and Rodney don't look too happy.
The tally --
Carolyn, Carolyn, Carolyn, Carolyn, Carolyn, Dan, Dan.
HA! Dan is gone!
Hi Jackie. Thank you for blogging this. It is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie and Pennyu.
ReplyDeleteMike selfish? That's like calling the kettle black! You need to look in the mirror, Dan. Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Becky!!
ReplyDeleteJackie, is there a way to shut off the I'm not a robot thing?
Hi Jackie and all!! Dan is an ass!
ReplyDeleteBoy, Mama C is playing them all. LOL
ReplyDeleteHey, Cheryl.
ReplyDeletePenny - It should be off. I turned it off before posting. I think it still shows, but you don't need to use it.
ReplyDeletePenny, you don't need to prove you aren't a robot. Just hit post.
ReplyDeleteHey ... what if Penny IS a robot and it's a well-kept secret from us?!?!?
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm sure I'm not a robot. But, who knows???
ReplyDeletelol @ jackie
ReplyDeleteI hope Rodney has to set at home again!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. I'm late :))
ReplyDeletehahahha
ReplyDeleteHe, he, he.
ReplyDeleteGood, Rodney isn't going again!!
ReplyDeleteOh, wait...
ReplyDeletedont do it..dont give it up
ReplyDeleteGood for Mama C
ReplyDeletealright mama c...good for you
ReplyDeleteHi All. =)
ReplyDeleteI wish they would get rid of Rodney. What a selfish jerk and a crybaby.
Yeah!!!!! Riodney looks like he wants to cry! He WILL take it personally!
ReplyDeleteHi all! Poor Rodney can't win a reward!1
ReplyDeletei see will didnt offer to give it up either..lol
ReplyDeleteThat was funny, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteShe's right. It's her experience too and if he wants a reward, he should earn it. The one's who give up their reward usually get voted out at the next tribal anyways.
ReplyDeleteHey, Monty, David and Ed. Plus whoever else comes.
ReplyDeleteLike Mike said...you want reward then freakin win it
ReplyDeletedude
Hi Ed! Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid if Mike doesn't win the in the IC, they will send him home.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ed, how are you healing?
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to them Mike, none of them are for you.
ReplyDeleteI would not trust Will definitely; but he's got to be careful with Mama C.
ReplyDeleteOh Rodney...SHUT UP
We should have had a drinking game for Rodney, LOL
ReplyDeletelol rodaney...redneck...pot kettle black??
ReplyDeleteRodney is such a jerk. So is Dan.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be hilarious if Mike wins immunity and Carolyn uses her idol. That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for Dan, but I would rather be around him that that blow hard.
ReplyDeleterodney..you might be a yankee but you are a redneck yourself...and an arrogant ass
ReplyDeleteLove that car commercial.
ReplyDeleteHey all above; Thanks for asking! Doing much better! Saw my doctor today and all looks well. Go back next month for a check-up.
ReplyDeleteI missed the show last week...was at a Cavaliers basketball game.
Monty, I think the same way. But they will zero in on Dan.
ReplyDeleteHope Mike wins immunity just to see Dan's reaction.
ReplyDeletePatience challenge Lol Bai Dan
ReplyDeletedan...omg you gotta turn on each other at some point...geez
ReplyDeleteMike has to win this. He really has to win it.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be around Dan than Rodney, too.
come on Mike for the win....
ReplyDeleteIt would be a killer if the final 3 were Will, Dan, and Rodney. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am sure you told us about a surgery, but I had short term memory loss for almost two months. So update, please.
ReplyDeletecan you imagine a dan will rodney final 3...gag me..i dont think i could take it...lol
ReplyDeleteRodney is just plain pitiful
ReplyDeleteCome on Mike. Dang it don't let them beat you. You need this!
ReplyDeleteif mike wins..they better take out dan with that advantage
ReplyDeleteFor Rodney being so arrogant, he sure can't throw worth beans.
ReplyDeleteThey're all rooting against Mike. That's sad.
come on mike
ReplyDeleteI wish Jeff would SHUT UP!
ReplyDeleteStopped in to say hi to everyone and lurk a little. I'll be out of town (actually driving home) next week so probably will not make the chat unless you keep it going right into the Letterman show!!
ReplyDeleteGot some taco fixings I'll share with the group tonight. And some cold ones too!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Yay, Mike
ReplyDeleteyeaaaaaaaa
ReplyDeleteYES, YES, YESSSSS!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Dan.
Okay, guys, turn on Dan or Rodney.
Boo ya!! Yes!
ReplyDeleteGet rid of Dan. Rodney is the perfect goat to take to the final 3. No one would vote for him.
ReplyDeleteLove that commercial. heeeheeeheee
ReplyDeleteI was yelping so loudly during that maze --- I scared the cat!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it would really be a kick in the head if the other 3 guys make it to the finals. That would be horrible.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cold one SueGee. =)
ReplyDeleteEven if Rodney is the perfect goat to take to the end, please get rid of him, please, please, please.
But, if Mike made it, would they vote for him? I think they despise him; for all the wrong reasons. They are more irritating that Dan being sure of himself.
ReplyDeleteagreed david...he gets on my nerves..i am so over him and his mouth
ReplyDeleteEd - we may have to wager if the Cavs end up with the Warriors in the finals...
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Keep talking Dan, LOL
ReplyDeleteThey need to get rid of Dan. They really do need to get rid of him.n He's too dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed he's a postal worker, I can joke about this because my brother is one...Dan actually could go postal.
Dan, you are arrogant. You are an idiot. What did Mike do for him to treat him that way?
Sue Gee, Would love to see the Cavs & Warriors. We are without our Kevin Love but I'd be up for a friendly virtual wager!
ReplyDeletelol...mike os smart...you better play ypur idol
ReplyDeletePlay it Carolyn
ReplyDeleteDon't do it Mama C., they are gunning for you.
ReplyDeleteJackie, what does Dan think Mike did to him?
i hope carollyb plays here idol
ReplyDeleteDan should get with mike and use his 2 votes to get out rodney but Dan is too full of himself and can't see past his tummy.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteRodney's brain is fried. If he would talk less, he might be okay.
lol..i cant rodney..hes killing me
ReplyDeleteI hope Carolyn plays her idol. Dan and Rodney are so arrogant.
ReplyDeletethey both better play there idol and there advantage
ReplyDeleteYou might not be here next week Dan!
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting
ReplyDeletethey will die if caroln plays her idal...but i hope jeff ask him about using the advantage first
ReplyDeleteCarolyn should definitely play her idol now
ReplyDeletegreatttt. now she knows she better play her idol
ReplyDeleteUse the idol Mama C.
ReplyDeleteMama C play it!
ReplyDeleteThat look is PRICELESS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the look on Dan's face! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
ReplyDeletehaahahahha did you see those faces
ReplyDeleteLook at their stupid faces!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening? My satellite signal went out
ReplyDeleteDan lost his 'advantage'! Ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteWoot Woot! The faces tonight were priceless.
ReplyDeleteTooooooooooo funny!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to wreck havoc at the Ponderosa
gotta love it
ReplyDeleteI would rather it been Rodney, but I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteSee ya Dan....tribe has spoken!
ReplyDeleteYES!!
ReplyDeleteBuh-Bye Dan!!
Will and Rodney stand no chance of winning regardless of how they get there.
ReplyDeleteMamma C knows who's against her now.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. Really appreciate it. Will see those who watch TAR, Friday night. And, will see everyone here at next week's finale!!!
This is going to be GOOD!!!
The other girl needs to change sides and leave Will and Rodney along. They could vote out the biggest risk, Rodney.
ReplyDeleteWho's everyone voting for in the next Survivor. I really did not like many of them.
ReplyDeleteGood show tonight! Thanks Jackie & everyone!
ReplyDeleteLOL, wish it was rodney but I will take Dan out as a close second.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie =)
Everyone have a good evening.
If Carolyn jumps sides it is hers and Mikes game.
ReplyDeleteDan will be as obnoxious at Ponderosa as he was on the island. His Ponderosa clip should be funny. :))
ReplyDeletei think any of them beat rodney and will
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. Have a great week everyone.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hostin, Jackie. Hey, everyone if you can make it Friday night that is a final.
ReplyDeleteThe best final three would be Mike, Carolyn and Sierra. Of those, it would be between Mike and Carolyn -- both have played strategic and good physical games.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Jackie...hopefully next week will be good!
ReplyDeleteDan's Ponderosa video is up. He really did hate Mike for the Survivor auction and the loved one's letters. He can't let it go that it was a game move. And the others see it and are whispering around it. Dan's a sore loser. Period!
ReplyDeleteMike and Carolyn have both played good games, but Carolyn has managed to play very strategically... she's held onto important info and hasn't shared until it's been needed. Not that my vote counts for diddly-squat, but I'd like to see her win it all.
ReplyDeleteIf Rodney, Sierra, or Will win the next immunity, I think they will be more inclined to vote Mike out before Carolyn... because they seem to be more (foolishly) afraid of him.
