Survivor fans ready?
Andrew is thrilled to have lasted until jury. He schemes with Jeremy to get out Ciera and Wentworth. Meanwhile, Ciera wants to convince Fishbach that it's time to make a big move -- get Joe out.
It's Rewards Challenge time! Two teams of six, paddle out to retrieve crates, stack them so no repeating colors on any side. Winning team goes to Survivor Cafe for sweet goodies. It's a schoolyard pick.
Tasha, Jeremy, Spencer, Fishbach, Abi, Andrew on one team, the rest on the other.
Keith, Ciera, Wiglesworth, Wentworth, Joe and Kimmi win. At the cafe, Ciera works the crowd. Keith decides to drive one of the tuck-tucks that delivered them around the beach and all have a grand ol' time. Meanwhile, Fishbach is all worried because he fears Joe is bonding with his alliance. He goes to his fellow stuck on the beach mates and convinces them that it's time to blindside Joe. Or, tries to convince them, that is. Andrew is very NOT convinced and this could backfire on Fishbach.
Immunity Challenge time! Balance a ball on a disk attached to a rope. At intervals, they have to move their hands to a different location on the rope. Keith and Jeremy did this in their season -- Jeremy was first out, Keith won.
Wentworth out, Ciera out. Wiglesworth out, Jeremy out. Abi out. Fishbach out, Savage out. Second round starts -- Kimmi out, Tasha out. Spencer out. After thirty minutes, Keith and Joe get a second ball on the disk.
Joe wins Immunity once again!
Joe, knowing that Fishbach was trying to get him out, gets the three bottom tier girls in on a plan to blindside Fishbach. Andrew tells his bunch and Jeremy isn't keen on getting out Fishbach.
If Savage doesn't watch it, he's going to get himself blindsided, I think! Nope, he backs down to Jeremy and it looks like Wentworth and Ciera are once again targets.
Tribal Council. Time for Jeff to instigate! Ciera calls out some for running the show -- Jeremy, Savage, Joe, Fishbach and Tasha.
The tally:
Whoa! Wentworth plays her idol!
Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Savage, Savage.
Savage is SO blindsided!
~~~~SPLASH~~~~ I made it and I brought some chicken enchiladas for dinner!! Beans & rice, fresh salsa, guac and sour cream for the sides/toppings
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
***** SPLASH *****
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! Happy Veterans Day and "thank you" to our Vets.
Since Krass was voted out last week (yay), I'll be jumping on Joe. Errr, jumping on Joe's team, that is. *wink*
Hi Jackie and all who arrive. I brought wings with buffalo, thai chili glaze and mild. Extra ranch, bleu cheese and celery. Dig in
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to worry about banning Abi from the pool. Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee and Petals. Yes, Happy Veterans Day to all of our service men and women. <3
ReplyDeleteHey Laurie. Don't... I wouldn't have wanted to be stuck with her.
ReplyDeleteBRB have to feed my hungry cat. She is very vocal LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd Laurie - not to worry. Abi is not going to win this LOL
Nom nom Sue!!
ReplyDeleteI have a freshly-baked, chocolate, triple-layer cake & 'nilla ice cream.
Jackie, how did no one get Abi? LOL
Fish has the potential to screw up some of my favs games... grrr
ReplyDeleteHi All!
ReplyDeleteThank You to all the men & women of the Armed Forces for your service. Salute!
Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you for hosting us, Jackie. It's greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee, Monty, Petals, Laurie and all who follow.
Don't trust Fishback, Cierra!
That cake sounds heavenly :)))
ReplyDeleteWe have 50moh winds here in KCMO, a weird winds storm. At any minute, I could lose power, so if I drop off, I apologize.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Homie!! Hey Penny!!
ReplyDeleteHey, guys!
ReplyDeleteHope not, Petals
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it Laurie. Who in their right mind could have predicted that they would play like a bunch of idiots and keep Abi around. It has already bit a few of them in their backsides as it should.
Hi Monty!
ReplyDeleteStay safe Petals, looks like a nasty storm.
Hi Everyone. Happy Veteran's Day to my fellow Vets!
ReplyDeleteHey Glenn.... thank you
ReplyDeleteHi David
ReplyDeleteJackie, that was not me who posted on your Misery review post, though it almost sounded like it could have been. lol My dad is also a doctor so it was kind of strange reading that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed. It sounds crazy outside, like a tornado. We're safe, we can go downstairs if the siren sounds...
ReplyDeleteThis is why you never get rid of the big strong players early
ReplyDeleteDo we have a drinking word tonight? From the promos it should be blindside ROFL
ReplyDeleteDang. It shows you what a push with an ore can do to you.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that SueGee :))
ReplyDeleteMs Jackie was lucky enough to get great seats to an awesome Broadway play.
ReplyDeleteHey, today, I went to olive garden for the first time; I was given a gift card. It was disgusting. I don't get why it's so popular. Not even the breadsticks were good. Blech
Sorry. I just had to vent.
There is one of those near me Petals and I have not been there in about 15 years! Last trip was so bad I just never went back
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to "blindside".
ReplyDeleteOr "idol"
Glad you enjoyed "Misery" Jackie, sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteLOL Petals. I have never been to Olive Garden. Thanks for saving me a trip.
ReplyDeleteSue - so many people rave about it, but I was hesitant. For good reason! Love & learn.
ReplyDeleteOoops, LIVE & learn.
ReplyDelete^5 Ed !
ReplyDeleteI think it is maybe ok for lunch, but service was so bad and the food was just not worth it. It was a favorite of my ex-daughter in law so I can pinpoint when I was last there!
ReplyDeleteRide 'em Keith!
ReplyDeleteYou go Keith. He cracks me up
ReplyDeleteThere are so many chain restaurants around here. I would rather just go to an independent place and know they are trying! The big thing here are the food truck gatherings. I think I will pass on that too.
ReplyDeleteIKR, Dave. Don't bother. Fazzoli's breadsticks are awesome, btw.
ReplyDeleteJoe is not the enemy. So, they want to get rid of Joe before Abi??? I hate that.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind OG, but I only eat there about once a year and always get one of two things. Never had bad food, but I have had bad service. I love the salad!!
ReplyDeleteExactly Sue!
ReplyDeleteOh, Petals. You just made me miss my favorite fast food joint. Fazzoli's!!! We had one but they closed years ago. It was cheap and easy to go for lunch through the drive thru and back to work. Sad :((
ReplyDeleteIn Stephen's defense, he just wants to survive. And, I guess the time to get out the strong would be now when it's individual immunity. But, I do not want Joe to go!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good show, Ed. There's an Olive Garden right near the theatre in Times Square. (I didn't eat there.)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite food places are Mexican and Chinese. We have this Mexican Restaurant close to where I live that is run by Mexicans. The food is great! Love the place.
ReplyDeleteMy other favorite place is Chipotle.
I've only been to Olive Garden once before......a long time ago. Don't remember how good or bad it was but haven't been back since.
ReplyDeleteNever experienced Fazzoli's?
Jackie, I'm glad you had fun. I enjoyed your reviews. I bet Laurie Metcalf was so good. Love her acting. I enjoy Bruce Willis, too. But, I can't imagine him comparing to Laurie. LOL
ReplyDeleteJoe's name came up but I don't believe he's going anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Italian chain that has Italian language lessons playing in the bathroom? It was good food and a laugh a minute in the john
ReplyDeleteWe have an authentic Mexican restaurant, family owned, not a chain and their food is fabulous. We also have a great authentic italian and you can't beat either for atmosphere and food.
ReplyDeleteYou all are making me hungry, LOL
All I have near me are Mom and Pop type restaurants besides a few fast food ones. I would have to drive 40 miles to the nearest big city to go to any of the chain restaurants so that rarely happens.
ReplyDeleteKetih is good with these challenges
ReplyDeleteSavage....%$#@&!+...bleep!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Abi laughing for. I'm betting they are hoping Joe loses.
ReplyDeleteThe concentration on those two guys faces!!!!
ReplyDeleteEd, when I went back to my home state of NY, we went to Blue Ridge Lake. There was not one fast food chain. The whole trip up there was isolated. Very few fast food chains anywhere up north/northwest.
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYAYAY JOE!!!
Yay, Joe. I would have been happy with a Keith win
ReplyDeleteJoe ain't goin' nowhere yet!
ReplyDeleteHey, everyone. I know I am late. My best friend and I are having a garage sale beginning tomorrow. We have been sitting up since Monday.
ReplyDeleteTommy's brother is staying with us for a few days. He had surgery yesterday. I had to shower and shampoo before cooking dinner. It was hotter than you know what in that garage. My hair looked like I had been to water aerobics when I came inside.
Petals - did we lose you??
ReplyDeleteFazzoli's is fast food italian. Loved their baked spaghetti. YUM!! There's another one in northwest Ohio that I really liked too. I think it was the Spaghetti Shoppe or something like that. Just a fast food drive thru kind of place.
ReplyDeleteGood for Joe. =) Now they need to get Abi out of there. Since Fishbach was running his mouth it might end up being him instead. Come on people, get rid of Abi.
ReplyDeleteOmg, Fazzoli's baked ziti, nommmmmm!
ReplyDeleteYay, sexy Joe wins again. Such it up, Fishy!
I'm a steak guy myself. Lot's of steak houses around here. Mortons, Hyde Park Grille, Shula's are a few of my favorites. Gettin' hungry now!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sue. I was gone for a minute. It's touch-n-go here, but I squeezed back in. ;)
ReplyDeleteDRINK
ReplyDeleteHappy Veteran's Day to all that have served. My thank yous to each of you or to your spouse if they served.
ReplyDeleteGood, throw Steven out of the game. Leave Joe alone!
Baked ziti was my second fave, LOL. Joe, we ate at a Mortons in Nashville. Good but the most expensive food I've ever had. My billfold cried for a week, LOL
ReplyDeleteEd, is Morton's the place with the pig lamps? We dined there in Chicago, yum.
ReplyDeleteLately, I'm craving my city's most famous barbecue place, Arthur Bryant's. It's very vinegary, and is in a sketchy party of town, but I'm craving it like MAD.
Best steak house/restaurant ever.... St. Elmos in Indi! I could go back again and again.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read our Joe has immunity. I look forward to seeing him in the necklace later tonight!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, though. There is nothing wrong with targeting Joe. They all want to win. However, those who are going after the wrong people will be targeted.
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is some of the people who want to target Joe, are so easily persuaded...to vote off the girls. Of course, it's always the girls. Someone needs to do something.
Okay, so it will either be Wentworth, Cierra, Fishback or Savage???
My favorite to go food is Chinese. No chains, just the Mom & Pop places around here that are all excellent. And now I am suddenly craving a super burrito and we are not talking chain Mexican food. ut-oh
ReplyDeleteThat's KRASS for ya. Flippin' the bird at the ones left @@
ReplyDeleteLOL - give them the bird. I guess Kass isn't happy that they got rid of her.
ReplyDeletePetals, I believe the Mortons in Chicago was & still is the original location.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she convinced the young ones to vote out Savage?
ReplyDeleteCiera has great eye rolls, but I don't like her
ReplyDeleteCierra & Abi doin' the eye roll!
ReplyDeleteUh oh....Savage just got himself voted out.
ReplyDeleteMacaroni Grill is the restaurant that gives you Italian lessons in the restrooms.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to one in a long time, but the food was really good when I was there!
Kass showing them how to make friends and win over enemies. lol And she thinks she is going to control what happens at the Ponderosa. Not with that attitude.
ReplyDeleteI ate at Morton's in Denver and they called it "Morton's of Chicago" Petals - the good (best) BBQ is always where you don't want to go!
ReplyDeleteIf they go along with their gut, Joe and the girls should vote out Fishback. I think it might be Savage, I hope not.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie! Macaroni Grill is it!!
ReplyDeleteIDOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I LOVE THIS!!! HAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteThat's my pool girl
ReplyDeleteMake it fishback!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL... bye Savage
ReplyDeleteShocker!!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! That is funny. Oh well, I had a feeling they would get him. Darn.
ReplyDeleteAnother bird, LOL
ReplyDeleteThat was really good use of an idol!!
ReplyDeleteJust two votes. TWO VOTES. Oh my! I wonder what he'll say!
ReplyDeleteI hate that they chose Savage. Wish it had been Steven. Jackie, Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWow, for once, an idol is used the right way.
ReplyDeleteToo bad for Savage, and bad sportsmanship for them acting like
little bitches.
Get Abi out next!!!!!
Thank you, Ms Jackie!
Yes, ED, it was. She didn't take any chances. All of them voted for her except Cierra and her. Wow.
ReplyDeleteSee some of you Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie, so much. Will see all those who follow TAR, Friday night.
ReplyDeleteSee all of you next Wednesday.
G'Night Everyone! Gonna go raid the fridge now!!
ReplyDelete& to Homiee...GO BUCKS!!
Thanks Jackie!
Mmmmm, Macaroni Grille was my & my mom's special lunch place. The foccacia w/olive oil, yummy.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone has a great week. See you all next time.
xoxo
Now they will be gunning for Cierra and Kelly...better find another idol LOL
ReplyDeleteVery good timing on that idol use. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie =)
Everyone have a great week.
Oh, 3 voted Savage. LOL Poor guy
ReplyDeleteI have to finish an email to my Prayer Warriors thanking them for their prayers for my brother-in-law. Night all. Thanks again, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteAll three women voted for Savage. Jeff didn't read one of the Savage votes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
You are welcome, SueGee.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting tribal. Looking forward to seeing for myself. I'll close my eyes during the @@!
Keith already found it I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Will see you all on Friday.
ReplyDeleteGo BUCKS and rooting for the Brownies this weekend :)))
Savage at Ponderosa
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xooWA2RLimA
Am surprised that the majority didn't split their vote between Ciera & Wentworth - would have assured getting one of them gone...even with the hidden immunity idol in play.
ReplyDeleteI mean it IS what they usually do, why didn't they tonight?
ChicMc
Missed the live show, just caught up On Demand. Best blindside I've ever seen at tribal. BUT that being said, how did they not split the vote? They ALWAYS split the vote, but THIS is the week they decide against it. Silly. And just plain dumb.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Savage, I liked him. This is the first time I've ever done a pool with you guys, and I actually drew someone I could root for! Not sure which way this season is going to go. But, this has been one of the best to watch so far! Thanks Jackie for the blog!
I'll miss it live again this week, as I'm going to the Mockingjay Premiere, but I'll be sure to catch up sooner!
