Survivor fans ready?
JT is against a rock and a hard place. He knows he told Brad that Sierra was their target thinking they'd vote out Sandra. Instead, it was Malcolm, JT's closest ally and one of the strongest players on his tribe whose torch got snuffed. Sandra's mad. He ends up finding a clue and pursuing the hidden idol. He's got it and says he'll tell no one ... as it should be.
Reward Challenge - grappling hook, retrieve, again balancing a ball through obstacles, slide puzzle. Winning tribes - 1. PB&J sandwiches, cookies and milk. 1. PB&J sandwiches. Debbie is doing horribly on this one!
TAVUA wins first place! NUKU wins second place.
Debbie blames Brad for the loss because he decided positions. Cue to replay: Debbie saying, "I'm very good at balance." Brad replies, "Then you balance." Ha!
Sarah and Troyzan are quasi-bonding. Sarah tells him they need to work on trust and that she's looking for an idol. Troy has one, but doesn't tell her and now is reluctant to use it right away.
Debbie goes on a rant about Brad to Hali and thinks she (Debbie) ZOOMED across the balance beam and Hali being slow. Um. Alternate facts, methinks. Tai tells us he thinks Debbie is a "crazy lady." Well, duh. Debbie tells us that she doesn't go on rants, she works out physically and has a calm approach. Sheesh. She wants to take out Brad. I would suggest they hide any knives in camp.
Oh my. JT and Michaela are rubbing each other wrong. Sandra decides to eat all the sugar because she knows JT will blame Michaela. Varner knows it was Sandra.
Tai is worried about the tension in his tribe. He doesn't know where he stands. He thinks that he needs another idol and, sure enough, finds a clue.
Immunity Challenge time -- Race up and over tall wall, work together to roll big cube, keys, sandbags across balance beam, giant slingshot to knock down five targets. First two tribes are safe. Cirie sits out. Debbie is being a jerk. But I expected that.
MANA wins Immunity! TAVUA wins Immunity!
JT thinks they should target Michaela, mainly because she stole the sugar. Will Varner tell him? Sandra thinks they need to target JT because it was his fault Malcolm went. Um. WHY AREN'T THEY TARGETING SANDRA?
Tribal Council. JT claims he had no idea Malcolm would go. Michaela trash-talks JT. JT says he's sick of babysitting. It sounds like Michaela is the target of most.
The tally:
Michaela, JT, Michaela, JT, JT
Whoa! Varner flipped and voted out JT!
Sandra and Michaela fist bump. Aubry is shocked. Sandra also 'fesses up to taking the sugar.
I feel bad that JT is out. I still would love to see Sandra blindsided. But, I've gotta say ... well-played, well-played.
A teaser for next week has them dropping buffs again, Exile Island and a returning castaway (whether cameo or not, we don't know). JT tells us he felt confident and didn't bring his idol to Tribal. Maybe he can earn some $$ selling it on eBay?
Ready!!! ~~~~~SPLASH~~~~~
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
Hi Jackie and everyone....
ReplyDeleteReady here
~~~~SPLASH~~~~
I'm going to be in and out of the pool tonight - got something special on the BBQ and it will be ready soon...
ReplyDeleteHey SueGee
ReplyDeleteJT is in trouble
Dang it. I wanted to stay away, but I'd miss all of you. :(
ReplyDeleteI have nothing, only some Jolly Ranchers and beer. LOL Sorry.
GET SANDRA OFF THE ISLAND!!!!!!
Hey Monte
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie
Hi Jackie, SueGee, Monty, and all who follow. =)
ReplyDeleteI agree Jackie, I would love for them to take Sandra out.
Hi Monty, SueGee, Petals, & All
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteHey Petals. Good to see you back this week. I'll take some sour apple Jolly Ranchers. If you out of them, I'll take watermelon.
ReplyDeleteHey David & Ed & Petals and whoever comes in while I'm typing
ReplyDeleteHi Petals. =) Snuck in while I was typing. lol
ReplyDeletePetals Ozzie will be so happy you came back. Don't let Sandra take you down.
ReplyDeleteThese idol clues are so easy to find, if anyone looked they'd find it. I'm not sure what this code of honor is that prevents them from looking until they are desparate.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Vincent, SueG, Monty, Petals and fellow swimmers who arrive later
ReplyDeleteHi, Jackie, SueGee, David, Ed, Petals, Monty, and all else who follow. Jackie, thank you so much for hosting us. Really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, how are you doing? Hi, Joe.
ReplyDeleteHey, David, Ed and Joe.
ReplyDeleteHey, guys! Remember ... tomorrow night at 10pm ET, it's The Amazing Race!
ReplyDeleteJT really ruined last week's tribal council. I wonder if Malcolm will ever forgive him. I blame it on JT. By telling his "buddy" Brad what they were doing, he set it up for them to vote Malcolm. Doesn't JT realize this is a game, not a binding friendship?
ReplyDeleteI've got to remember to come tomorrow night for TAR Such a late hour LOL
ReplyDeleteSo Caleb & Malcom get the boot in back to back weeks. Guess it's not so good to be perceived as a 'strong' player on Survivor.
ReplyDeleteHi all!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone got here when I left the room. Hey Ed, David, Becky, Penny and Joe.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Ed - that is so sweet. YES! Ozzie would for sure miss me.
ReplyDeleteYay, for the TAR! Can't wait to see how they pair them. Ought to make for some great comedy or drama.
ReplyDeleteWTH? where did the audio go?
ReplyDeleteYes, Ozzie. Just remember to not trust anyone, at all!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck back later...keep my floatie warm LOL
ReplyDeleteI am so angry. I do not want Brad and crew to win. I am so mad at them! LOL
ReplyDeleteI had to change to the other CBS channel here. Music but no audio on the narration. UGH
ReplyDeleteGO JT!
ReplyDeleteWatch Debbie mess up.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Penny. Brad's name is mud with me.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Debbie
ReplyDeleteWe have severe weather (heads-up, Monty) tonight, may lose power.
ReplyDeleteLOL, We would all be singing his praises if they had sent snadra packing, as they should have.
ReplyDeletePB&J sandwiches? I don't know how excited I could get for that reward.
Sandra*, lol
ReplyDeleteOh, no Petals. I don't like that forecast at all. :(((
ReplyDeleteI love PB&J, especially if I were eating only coconut, rice & seafood for weeks. Heck, I eat PBJ for snacks!
ReplyDeleteYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Ozzie's team wins.
ReplyDeleteTrue, David.
ReplyDeleteaww, poor Tai.
ReplyDeleteWish the nasty chick wasn't getting any reward - watch her police it like the dicktator she is (misspelling intended)
Debbie LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI think my pool pick is in jeopardy!!
ReplyDeleteMine too, girls. I wanted Malcom in the finals. I hope Debbie's performance is her kiss of death!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can eat PB&J anytime. Don't know if I'd want a steady diet of it like they used to do in BB, but it would be better than the SLOP! js
ReplyDeleteso this bad weather we're having? Hail, high winds, etc BUT! Also a beautiful, perfect full rainbow.
ReplyDeleteStill pulling for Ozzie and JD.
ReplyDeleteMonty - YES! On BB, I always thought PBJ wouldn't be so bad. But slop? Meh.
ReplyDeleteWell, we know Debbie blows up on Brad from the previews. Will probably get interesting tonight. :)))
ReplyDeleteUh-oh Petals!
ReplyDeleteBecky - my gf at work adopted a rescue Beagle!
ReplyDeleteNo Ozzie, YOU are the gold. Stay Gold, Ponyboy!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Mana lost. LOL on Debbie. She talked about being so good on balance and she is just horrible. She's right, though, Brad is a dictator, but what she doesn't see at all, is she's right in the mix. She volunteered herself. I wonder if she's bipolar or maybe a Dr. Jeckle and Mrs. Hyde?
ReplyDeleteyeeps, Debbie acting-up. @@
ReplyDeleteDebbie's Pizzzzzed!
ReplyDeleteGod bless her, Debbie is just ... a hatchetface.
ReplyDeleteDebbie is a beautiful meltdown
ReplyDeletewith an attitude to match.
ReplyDeleteYou know it, Tai
ReplyDeleteThey are tromping around a beeeeautiiiiful beach, with not a thought about how pretty it is.
ReplyDeleteGlorious and so funny
ReplyDeleteHe's a wanker. bwrhahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI know, Petals. If the day was beautiful, like it is there, I'd be sitting on the beach and taking it all in.
ReplyDeleteI agree, though, Brad is a wanker. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Yes, he is a wanker, but Debbie's reaction was so over the top and priceless. :)))
ReplyDeleteBrad is a wanker and Debbie is the crazy lady. lol What a group they have.
ReplyDeleteDebbie just gave me the best laugh of the season!!
ReplyDeleteStarbucks, Survivor-style
ReplyDeleteEd, I think you're right. They get rid of the strong players. I guess they can win without strength.
ReplyDeletegrrrrrrrrrr, see? I despise her.
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH! Sandra, you are a horrible, horrible person. What a snake.
ReplyDeleteBB used to complain about PB&J, now the whine aboout slop and wish for the sandwiches when they get slop for the week.
ReplyDeleteI will miss AM tomorrow. Our brother-in-law is coming for movie night and dinner.
Penny, I will email you later. I have some health issues that are causing deep depression. I went two weeks only getting out of the house, twiceto go to church. My wonderful husband was even doing most of the grocery shopping and cleaning. That is just not me. I MADE myself get out to run some errands the past three days. The Laurie and Colin had to send the most wonderful dog ever to the Bridge. She had cancer through-out her body and never let anyone know she was in pain.
Sandra needs to go. But, she knows she can get JT going after Michaela. She's so shrewd. I guess that is what makes her good. grrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteThis is just old school Survivor and Sandra is good at it
ReplyDeleteOH NOOOoooooo. NOT AGAIN!! What makes him so good at this????
ReplyDeletewoooohoooo , Go Tai!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I need to go through my e-mail. I can sympathize with you. It's very hard.
ReplyDeletePoor Laurie and Colin. It is a very hard decision. Dogs can mask anything. It's sad.
OMG! How delusional is Debbie?
ReplyDeleteThere she goes again. She's like a gargoyle, but uglier.
ReplyDeleteCome on Ozzie's tribe!!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie is still going at it! Geeeesh. She needs to go.
ReplyDeleteDebbie has a secret crush in Brad!
ReplyDeleteOmg, Debbie makes this episode
ReplyDeleteEd - I agree, LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Debbie, just SHUT UP.
ReplyDeleteI'm biting my fingernails. NOoooo Mana. Nooooooo
ReplyDeleteI believe Debbie was a professional marsksman.
ReplyDeleteOzzy is blanking
ReplyDeleteCrap, such a horrible team and they're winning.
ReplyDeletec'mon OZZ BABY!!!
ReplyDeleteCome on Ozzie!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he pulls it out!!
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. Brad and Debbie at tribal would have been amazing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now here is their chance to get rid of Sandra.
ReplyDeleteI just wish Mana lost.
Feed the fire, Deb! Oz is carrying his tribe!
ReplyDeleteSandra or Makala? Who will it be??
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ed. You think? COuld be :)))
ReplyDeleteWhy do they not like Culpepper?
ReplyDeleteSANDRA SANDRA SANDRA, Good Heavenly Father, please let Sandra go home.
ReplyDeleteI hope is is Sandra.
ReplyDeleteOzzie!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Sandra, JT, or Michaela. I hope it is Sandra they send packing.
ReplyDeleteMVP = Ozzie
ReplyDelete*giddy*
Hope it's Sandra. They'll try for JT, but he's got the idol.
ReplyDeleteSandra set JT & Michaela up with the sugar....hope it backfires on her!!!!
ReplyDeleteEdit says Michaela stays, LOL
ReplyDeletehope JT takes his idol to Tribal.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Queen' is taking charge again!
ReplyDeletemakes me sick, literally.
ReplyDeleteIt all comes down to Varner, ugh
ReplyDeleteSandra is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThey let her lead.
ReplyDeleteHe's gotta' use the idol
ReplyDeleteMichaela was short-changed last time, and again this time.
ReplyDeleteAll because of a fork-tongued, lying, thieving, greedy, slimy dog.
I don't want to see Michaela go. This is a tribe that is not together at all.
ReplyDeletePlay the idol JT... they're setting you up
ReplyDeleteMichaela's in trouble if JT plays his idol. 1 vote could send her packing.
ReplyDeleteVarner is just as bad as Sandra. He loves this. It protects him. Once one of the outspoken leaves, he'll start showing his true colors.
ReplyDeleteSomeone better put Sandra
ReplyDeleteDamn, JT
ReplyDeleteIf JT doesn't use this, he is sooooo stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sick again - Sick that the slimy nasty dog will sneak through another week.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of the Queen sh!t
ReplyDeleteJT, JT, JT......b-byyyyyyyyyyeee
ReplyDeletea space filler would be Audry,to be frank, JT
ReplyDeleteHe should have played it...
ReplyDeleteThey are going to waltz Sandra to a thrid win!
ReplyDeleteTBC - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky - bite your tongue (fingers?) LOL
ReplyDeleteWhy not play the idol?? Dumb!
ReplyDeleteDidn't he find an idol and not play it?
ReplyDeleteHe should have played his idol. How stupid. Now we have a bunch of slimeballs left. LOL They'll have to turn on each other now. Will be interesting on how they do in challenges now.
ReplyDeleteSUCH a frustrating season. Reminds me of Big Brother when an evil alliance runs the house.
ReplyDeleteGrrrrr. How can so much ugliness continue?
I think that braid flip hit each and every member of her tribe
ReplyDeleteJT just got outplayed. Pure and simple. Sad
ReplyDeleteBUT! the one "OK" thing is that JT has won before, and wasn't as evil as that dog.
ReplyDeleteNow they know the evil that the dog can do.
Lol, for certain tbc. She whipped them around big time. :)))
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, guys ... I would name-calling of the castaways to be kept to minimum, please! Merci!
ReplyDeletePetals, I don't think Sandra will win this, but it's fun watching play the game.
ReplyDeleteNIght everyone!! have a great rest of the week
He should have played it. Bye JT
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. =)
Everyone who does not show up for TAR tomorrow have a great week. Everyone else, hope to see you at TAR. =)
Petals, they just keep walking by the QBee and she goes further and further. Plus she wanted to eat the baby goat!
ReplyDeleteYES! How interesting~~ A mishmash!!!
ReplyDeleteSee everyone next week. Thank you so much, Jackie!!!
G'Nite Everybody!
ReplyDeleteJackie, glad you have a life guard for the AR pool. I have been reading your WTW pictures on FB. BTW, I do want in the AR pool. Night all.
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot about TAR tomorrow night. Can't make it for the show but will check in when I get home.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. Sorry about my meltdown last week. I just hate her. So much. :(
ReplyDeleteSee you next week!
Thanks for coming by! I hope to see you, at least those who watch, at the The Amazing Race blog party tomorrow! Remember, it's just a televised reality show game. No need to get all worked up. Whoever wins won't be sharing the million with us!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteHave a good night everyone. See you next week. Maybe my pool pick will go then. Lol.
