Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen -X Blog Party - October 26
As Survivor airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging with the major events. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun! Later on tonight, I will have a post for the BBOTT show/live eviction. I was lackadaisical last night and today -- Whitney was the renom. So, it's Scott, Morgan and Whitney on the block.
Here are the blog pool match updates from the Lovely Lifeguard Laurie:
Vanua - Orange
Chris Hammons - Cheryl in NC, Jennasmom, Lanell from TN
David Wright - Buzzmaam, MikesGirl, Sharon C
Michelle Shubert - Ed in Ohio, Nickelpeed
Zeke Smith - Beachmom, monty924 , Glenn
Takali - Purple
Adam Klein - Brian, Kelsey NY, Sharon N
Figgy Figueroa - Donna in Alabama, Laurie
Jessica Lewis - Cupcake, Jean, Petals
Ken McNickle - Dolores in Hollywood, Margo, Russ
Taylor Lee Stocker - Donna in FL, Janice from GA, Stephanie in Baltimore
Ikabula - Green
Bret LaBelle - Brandi Peralta, Judi Sweeney, Skyriverblue
Hannah Shapiro - David, meb, Terry is a Texan
Jay Starrett - Becky, Jackie, Shayne
Michaela Bradshaw - Donna in NY, Krysta G, Pinky
Sunday Burquest - Brenda, Kristen from Ohio, SueGee
Will Wahl - Cheryl, Indiana Jane
OUT
x Rachel Ako
Mari Takahashi - cwcamper, Marthalight
Paul Wachter - ChickMc, PDX Granny
Lucy Huang - Delee, ML
CeCe Taylor - Anonymouse, Merrilee
Fifteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Survivor fans ready? Let's go!
David thinks that they made the right decision in voting out CeCe. Zeke, of course, is a happy camper.
On Ikabula, Jay thinks he has to take care of people. He wants to find the idol. He finds one right in front of Will. Whoops! Michaela walked up on them and now she knows, too. She's one of the best players on their tribe (in my opinion). She tells us it will remain secret unless she needs to snitch to stay in.
Reward Challenge time -- callers with blindfolded players collecting puzzle pieces. The caller will solve the puzzle directing blindfolded players. First prize is a sweet feast, second is cookies.
Coming from behind, Vanua wins first place! Ikabula won second place.
Hannah feels faint and they've called medics. Apparently she hyperventilated and ended up with cramping hands. Poor Hannah.
Zeke, realizing he's still bottom of his age group (although the oldest) is thinking he needs to jump ship and ally with the Gen-X bunch.
Hannah is going on about her anxiety issues.
Taylor and Figgy are very smug in their showmance. Taylor thinks they're a power couple. Figgy isn't as certain they should "come out." Jessica tells her they knew. Ken knew, too. Ken tells us that he's going to make sure he's okay and that Figgy/Taylor are like kids playing camp.
Immunity Challenge time! Race balance beams on water, collect six bags, three balls, table maze.
Ikablua wins Immunity! Vanua is finally safe!
Figgy thinks they should vote out Ken. She pushes Adam in that direction. Of course, Taylor is on board with his Figgy. Jessica proposes to Adam he join up with her and Ken. Ken approaches Adam and promises him safety in the game. Adam isn't sure what to do.
Tribal Council -- lots of giggles, but Adam's still in the middle. He is the only swing vote.
The tally:
Ken, Figgy, Ken, Figgy, Figgy!
Woot! Ken is safe! Adam made the right choice. Taylor is giving him the evil eye.
~*~*~*~*~* SPLASH ~**~*~*~*~*
ReplyDeleteHello Ms Jackie, Vincent and everyone! Happy 5th day until Halloween!
I have grilled ham & coconut shrimp kabobs, plus lemon cream pie!
Monty is bringing some phenominal punch Hump Day Punch, whoohoooo!
Yay!!! I remembered to show up on time. Hey Petals and Jackie... yep, I brought several punch bowls of this delicious brew! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Vincent Petals and Monty. I'm baaaaack!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, these kabobs are delish!!
ReplyDeleteHey Becky
Hi Jackie and Vincent!!! Thank you for hosting us!!! Appreciate it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Petals and Monty. I'm making some hot cinnamon wine!!
Michaela is very smart, but also very sneaky! LOL I'm so glad they do not make her come across as stupid. Very smart woman.
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds good too, Penny. Great to see everyone at the pool party. I completely missed the last one. My mind and all, lol.
ReplyDeleteThis punch is just what I needed, Monty! It's perfect, mmmm Great idea :)
ReplyDeleteI did not have a computer or telephone for a week. And yes, we paid the bill! My DH (not darling this time) switched our server to Direct TV. The installer came and when he finished connecting up the TV he told Tommy that "you are installed". He waited a few days and then took the box back to Time Warner. The installer lied. They finally got out to day and hooked us up to the computer and telephone.
ReplyDeleteThis is bound to be painful. The blindfold challenges always are!
ReplyDeleteFor those who didn't catch the recipe over at the BBOTT post:
ReplyDeleteHump Day Punch
6 oz Tequila
3 oz Coconut Rum
2 oz Triple Sec
2 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Lime Juice
6 oz Pineapple Juice
24 oz Orange juice
All in a large punch bowl. Mix well and add ice and fruit...
Howdy everyone!! Been busy and my kitchen and BBQ are a mess, but I have some Baby Back Ribs, beans & rice and a nice green salad. If anyone is hungry help yourself. I'll take one of the Stella's I know are over by Petals!!
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
Poor David
ReplyDeleteHi all!! I hope you all had a good week. I'm beating a bottle of wine tonight. It went over well last week
ReplyDeleteDavid is SO, SO stupid!!!
ReplyDeleteThat punch would knock me out LOL. No more hump days when you retire - I get 6 Saturdays and one Sunday every week!
ReplyDeleteCubs +1 now 2-0
ReplyDeleteWonderful food. I brought the Stella's this week. Yes, Jackie, thank you for hosting. I was not nice to be around last Wednesday. Great challenge!
ReplyDeleteI will be so angry at David. If they lose because of him; and he uses his idol, and someone else is sent home because of him, I will be sooooooo angry!
ReplyDeleteCome on Zeke
ReplyDeleteDillweed is just a lost cause...how does he function in normal life?
ReplyDeleteWoot woot
ReplyDeleteServes her right for being so obnoxious on the mat
ReplyDeleteOh, hang in there Hannah :((
That's great!! What a great come back. Can't stand David.
ReplyDeletePoor Hannah, hope she's okay.
Great, now the screen has frozen. Hope to get back. I need to go throw DH out of his chair and watch the show there.
ReplyDeleteSOrry you're having trouble with DirecTV, Becky. I've been with them for 6yrs, and love their service. Once you get the bugs worked-out, I think you'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteKendoll's team lost. Crap...
ReplyDeleteI might end up having to switch to DirectTV too. UVerse is getting phased out now that they are both ATT. I just don't want the dish
ReplyDeleteNo thanks to David. If it weren't for the others, they would have lost.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel sorry for Figgy
Becky, I've been having screen freezes on certain channels with TWC. So annoying. Hope they figure out what's causing it and fix it for you.
ReplyDeleteDitto Penny - Figgy gets zero sympathy from me.
ReplyDeleteSueG, the Dish as in Dish network? Or the dish that you need to get DirecTV?
I switched from DirecTV to Dish because my phone company bundles. I'm very happy with DishTV
ReplyDeleteDish as for DirectTV. My son has it in Iowa so I'm familiar with it once it is working. I'm going to have such a learning curve on learning the channels and DVR
ReplyDeleteYeah, go Zeke!!!
ReplyDeletewhile I recouped from my surgery, I worked for DirecTV. I worked from home as a call-center rep. I love their service, so I enjoyed working for them. But then AT&T bought them and fired all of the at-home people (grrr).
ReplyDeleteI'm loyal to DTV b/c when I was super-poor, like in 2010, I called to cancel my service b/c I couldn't afford it. And the guy told me that no, I didn't need to cancel; they would suspend my billing for 6mths until I was on my feet again, then regular billing would resume. It was a life-saver. Since then, I am loyal to them. It's the Scorprio in me. LOL
Speaking of which - what are everyone's Halloween plans?
Since I live in the middle of nowhere, I can only get a satellite. We don't get cable or anything, so we started out with DirecTV. Their prices went up and up. I started having problems with my DVR, so when my phone company offered a bundle with Dish. We took it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I know many, many Millennials who have a lot of anxiety. LOL
ReplyDeleteAgree with all of you on Figgy! We don't have any other cable option than TWC and he won't go back to Dish. Had it and he hated it. Won't do Direct either because he doesn't like satelite.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone... been a while, but see my guy is still in the hunt!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I haven't gotten too attached to anyone in the bunch this time.
DirecTV used to be associated with Verizon, but ATT has it now. Either way, I've gotten good service from them. Switched to CenturyLink Prism and the whole experience was a nightmare from hell. Back to DirecTV again.
🎃 👻
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Penny. Definitely a trait of millenials. See it on a daily basis at work and socially.
ReplyDeleteI'm staying home on Halloween. When I was younger, I'd go to all the Halloween parties, but not any more. I really, really miss trick or treaters. We get none out here. First year we were here, we bought candy and nobody came. I was so disappointed, but now we are used to it. I really miss seeing the costumes.
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives in the middle of nowhere too and they don't even do TV anymore. The still get netflix mailed to them!
ReplyDeleteMillenials DO all have mental/emotional problems. You know why? Because 90% of their mothers were on Paxil or Prozac when they were conceived. They were born chemically dependent.
ReplyDeleteJMO
There are few options for the middle-of-nowheres. HughesNet is one that is popular with rural folk.
ReplyDeleteStaying home to give out the candy as usual...that is if there is any left by then LOL
ReplyDeleteMonty, my husband would agree. I know how to operate my DVR, etc. My husband doesn't. It's all greek to him. He'd rather not bother with it. If anything goes wrong, I have to fix it. LOL. I love my satellite. I don't have a choice, though. We don't have cable; and I won't use an antenna. LOL
ReplyDeleteOur only other choice would be Comcast and they have the worst cust service on the planet. And I have NO patience with idiots anymore
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my bday, so we are doing a pot luck at work, then I'll hand out candy to the kids. It will be like 70° here on Monday, so I hope I get a lot of kids.
ReplyDeleteOh geeminy - I hope Figgy or whathisname gets straight-up voted out this week. I hope that tribe tanks the comp on purpose to get her out.
Agree, Petals and they're also the generation of everyone gets a trophy and other things. They never had to experience failure and learning from the experience. It's okay to fail at things. You figure out how to change and adapt that way.
ReplyDeleteI ♥ KEN!!! Go get 'em baby!
ReplyDeleteThe mille at our office are just so impatient, too. If it isn't instant, they get angry. If they are waiting more than 5 minutes on hold, they hang-up. If the drive-thru is backed up or slow, they blow their horns.
ReplyDeleteBRATS! (thanks, you-know-who!)
We have a part for Halloween to go to. I'm going to be Flo from Progressive and my husband will be Jake from State Farm.
ReplyDeleteIs he wearing Khakis?
ReplyDeleteoh, and now it's all about salt water swimming pools. They refuse to live in an apartment complex that has a chlorine pool (ga-ROSS!). It has to be SALT water swimming pools. And an enclosed, climate-controlled garage, NOT a car-port (ewwww!)
ReplyDeleteLOL
Go David (anyone but Ken, so they can vote out Figgy)
Is Ken throwing it??
When we first moved out here, HughesNet was our first internet service, which was a subsidary of Direct TV. We hated it. It was always down and was extremely expensive. When they FINALLY got Internet where we lived, we got it through our telephone service and had DirctTV for television. Hated HughesNet.
ReplyDeleteTBC - GREAT costumes!!! Perfect! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI will be celebrating my Birthday on Halloween and passing out candy to all the ghosts and goblins.
ReplyDeleteI hope Chris and them do not lose this time. But they are so slow. I would love to see David voted out.
ReplyDeleteMicheala is so nasty sometimes.
*party
ReplyDeleteHURRY green & orange team! (one of the team names sounds like Manure)
ReplyDeleteFiggy is good at playing with balls...
ReplyDeleteSorry, that is me. Celebrating a birthday.
ReplyDeleteANON!! Hey Halloween Birthday twin! :)
ReplyDeleteMichaela is good. But she can be such a brat.
ReplyDeleteDang, I do not want Chris and them to lose. Dang.
Good teamwork there. Zeke's in trouble :((
ReplyDeleteYes, SueBee. Lol
ReplyDeleteOh shut UP Michaela - thug.
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES
ReplyDeleteYAY! C;mon Michelle & Zeke!
ReplyDeleteand I eat my words when Michaela helps. YEEEEEPS
ReplyDeletePenny, it's the same way in our household.
ReplyDeleteSis and bro-in-law are both technophobes and totally hopeless with anything that's not on/off up/down. That works though because all the shows recorded are mine! lmao
However, I'm also their go-to person for fixing anything that goes wrong (including computers).
There's just something that I like about her, lol. She's not afraid to say what's on her mind. Will it be a winning move though, LOL
ReplyDeleteKeep Ken!!! My Ken Doll.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon
ReplyDeletethe editing is so good on this show. Best production ever.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pour me up some more Hump Punch, please Friend. :)
Buh-Bye love bird(s)!
YES!! They were very luck.
ReplyDeleteI want Ziggy to get voted out. Not Ken, though. Maybe Ken could one of the Millennials to change his mine.
I want Foggy to go home. Petals, Happy Birthday, Monday.
ReplyDeleteAnd tbc and anyone else I missed
ReplyDeletePenny- I love that you called her Ziggy. That is hilarous. Not sure if you did it on purpose, but I love that name - Ziggy. bwhahahahahaaha!
ReplyDeleteIf Ken gets voted out, he can come stay with Me. heeehee
Sliding a cool glass of punch to Petals. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteI want Figgy gone, but I doubt it will happen
I'm back. I hope it continues and doesn't jam up again. We don't do Halloween any more. When the "pregnant nun" (and she was very pregnant and the guy who had a better beard than any grown man (and it was real) we decided they were getting too old. We take bags to the kids who live on our street, then turn out the lights.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I left our the women who arrived carrying babies who could barely hold up their head and a pillowcase.
ReplyDeleteIf Ken and Jessica could get Adam to vote Figgy out, it would be good. I don't know though.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is on Ken to be safe, LOL
ReplyDeleteDid I call her Ziggy??? LOLOLOL. It was a mistate, but the Z works.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, not Ken!!!!!!
Petals, I bet your husband would love that, Petals!
ReplyDeleteC'mon Jessica - work on him! TRY HARDER!
ReplyDeleteHi Monty! And Happy Birthday to Petals and Kristen!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just do not want Ken to go. They need him right now or they could keep losing.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone there have the idol? Isn't it Adam?
Becky - he probably wouldn't notice. bwhahaha
ReplyDeleteCome on Adam, do the right thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Petals and Kristen!!!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot who has idols except Dill.
ReplyDeleteGosh darn it! Please, please, not Ken.
ReplyDeleteMonty - I may need a to-go cup of this punch, to get me thru the BB vote.
ReplyDeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteDillweed has one, Jay has one; and I think Adam has one, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Petals. I miss so much during the pool talk, lol
ReplyDeleteSo Ken is a model? But he's also witty and has survival skills?
ReplyDeleteI wuv him! PLEASE let him stay.
Happy Birthday Petals and Kristen!!! I'll bring a cake next week - better late than never. Any requests??
ReplyDeleteI think Ken is gone. I'll be very, very sad. I hope Adam changes things up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the BD wishes!
ReplyDeleteDo it Adam... don't let those two intimidate you
ReplyDeleteKen is the man! The millenials are just jealous
ReplyDeleteCubs still 2-0 Indians being no-no'd
ReplyDeleteOh man, Adam, do the right thing. Numbers can change.
ReplyDeletec'mon Adam! Be smart!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to both Petals and Kristen!! Halloween is a cool bday
ReplyDeletePlease let it be Figgy
ReplyDeleteSue Gee, I would like it to go to Cubs tonight. They played bad last night.
ReplyDeleteWe could call her Fizzy LOL
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteLate to the party but just in time for the show to start here.
Happy early Birthday Petals and Kristen. !!
Bwahahaha... buh-bye Figgy
ReplyDeleteMake it gooooooood. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ReplyDeleteThere is cheering going on in my house!!
ReplyDeleteFizzy is great also but she's G-O-N-E now :)))
ReplyDeleteAdam, you don't have to explain anything. You did right. Dang, she's crying.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!! WHOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd her boyfriend is NEXT! Thank you, Adam!
"Awww, whaah! I can't scrog my dirty boyfriend in the tent with 6 other people listening, pooor me!"
Now that was worth waiting for!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi David!
ReplyDeleteThe Millennials will all probably be angry at Adam. I'm hoping one of the other teams get to vote and vote out another Millennial to take the pressure off of him.
ReplyDeleteSueGee, I'm WS neutral this year. I'm a NL gal so rooting for the Cubs, but I'm also a Cleveland Indians fan so rooting for them too. Happy either way. I want to see it go seven games though so the long awaited championship will be really worth it for either of them.
ReplyDeleteYaaaaa, they voted out the right person. Can't wait to see it. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie =)
Everyone have a great week.
I kept mistyping Figgy as Fuggy and correcting it in the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
Thank you so much Jackie. Appreciate you giving us a place to meet.
ReplyDeleteI will not be here next Wednesday. Basketball has started up at the college and I'm working. I'll try to peek in.
Ok - see you later at the eviction if I remember. First I need to go clean up the mess I made in the kitchen ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteLOL Jackie. I called her Ziggy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Jackie!
ReplyDeleteNow I get to watch... :)
Oh great... my Zeke is teaming up with David next week??? Not sure what to think of that.
ReplyDeleteGreat show and even better party company. Thanks Jackie. Everyone have a great week and Happy Birthday to Petals and Kristen. We will definitely partay next week.
Hugs all
Petals, if he comes to your house may I come a just swoon? He is beautiful. I think Adam made a wise choice.
ReplyDeleteJackie, thank you for hosting.It's good to be back.
Monty - grew up in Chicagoland as a Cubs fan, but have been out here so long I'm more in the Giants & A's fandom... Happy to see them finally in a WS
ReplyDeleteMonty, I'm neutral, too. My team is the Reds. I'm just glad to see two new teams who have waited a long time to get there. Even though I am in Ohio, I'm kind of partial to the Cubbies. But if Indians win, that's fine, too.
ReplyDeleteHey David... have a good one and will see you in the BBOTT comments
ReplyDeleteSame here, Penny. REDS all the way but I usually root for the NL in the WS except I just had to root for KC and the Royals to Cueto and Edinson could get their well deserved championship. :))
ReplyDeleteGood night all. Thanks, Jackie!!
ReplyDelete
