Everybody ready? Got your snacks? Got your tasty adult beverages? As the show airs here on the east coast, I'll be live-blogging with all the major happenings. Refresh the page to see the latest news! But, as always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
I don't think anything could be so astounding as last week's Tribal Council. But tonight we see the reactions of Zeke's tribe and the merge will be on. We're in for two episodes in a row. Bring on the cyber-beverages!

Ciera Eastin

Caleb Reynolds

JT Thomas
Sandra Diaz-Twine
Jeff Varner
Survivor fans ready?
We see Varner getting voted out again although there never was a vote. Sarah and Tai are talking. Her eyes have been opened. She loves Zeke and thinks that, if anything, it makes him stronger. Zeke tells them he's touched by how everyone spoke up for him. But he still didn't want to be seen as anything other than Zeke.
Right to a challenge we go. A covered table, a table of food, hmm ... Before they merge and feast, one person from each tribe must volunteer to not take part. Hmm. If two don't volunteer the merge will go on and all they'll get is a cracker and tea. Brad volunteers. Zeke thinks it's purely a game move. Tai volunteered for his tribe. Different reaction from a tribemate -- he's selfless.
The merge is on. Brad and Tai are off down the beach to get their yellow buffs.
Brad thinks he's taken over Tai's Caleb position. He starts talking strategy with Tai.
Ick. As one of them said, "Debbie is going Debbie on us." She thinks it's the alcohol. Debbie told us she didn't drink any, it's strategy.
Debbie plays nicey-nice with Brad. Zeke tells the Varner Tribal story. All seemed to support him as his own tribe did.
Uh-oh. The move is on to get Michaela (my blog pool pick) first. They all seem good with it. Ah, but Zeke wants to work with Cirie and Sarah. Should they try to recruit Michaela?
A hen lays an egg on the roof of the shelter. "The laughs before the bloodbath."
Hali wants to work with Michaela. Michaela thinks she needs to approach Cirie and needs people on her side. Cirie is giving her good advice.
Time for the first individual Immunity Challenge. Stand on toes with a block wedged between their heads and frame. Last blockhead wins! Heehee. I couldn't resist that.
Hali, Troyzan, Zeke, out soon. Cirie out. Debbie out. Michaela out. This was all in the first five minutes. Ozzy out. Aubry out. Brad out. Sierra out. Tai and Andrea remain. Tai out! Andrea wins Immunity, the first woman to ever win this challenge!
Andrea thinks Hali might have an idol. She wants to flush it out -- leaning towards Michaela leaving. They're telling Hali and Micahela that Zeke is the target because he has such a good backstory. Cirie is Cirie-ously trying to save Michaela.
Tribal Council time. Hali tells them they can pat her down -- she doesn't have an idol. Hmm. Cirie votes Michaela to save them both.
The tally:
Zeke, Zeke, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Michaela, Hali, Hali, Hali ...
Hali is voted out. She's the first member of the jury.
Cirie is ready for war. She, Zeke and Aubry want to target Brad and Sierra. Andrea also wants to get them out. Is it a coup?
Zeke thinks that Andrea and Cirie are actually bigger threats in the game. Will he be a game changer?
Reward Challenge -- Two teams of six -- two swim out, retrieve fish puzzle pieces, two hook them up and the other two put it together. Schoolyard pick. A day of luxury is the prize.
Andrea, Zeke, Debbie, Troyzan, Ozzy and Tai win Reward!
Oh my, the Marshalls Spa is from Marshalls the store -- all kinds of products from Marshalls. Tai streaked.
Zeke takes his Andrea target to Debbie and Tai. Debbie is skeptical.
Immunity Challenge -- Hang onto a pole the longest you can. The classic wrap yourself around a pole -- Ozzy has won it the two times he did it. Cirie lost it before. It's new to the others.
Cirie out first. Brad is out. Aubry out. Debbie out. Zeke out. Sierra out. Troyzan out. Sierra out.
Andrea, Michaela, Tai and Ozzy remain.
Michaela drops saying Ozzy won't come down. He's told them that he plans on beating his own record.
Andrea falls hard. Ozzy is OUT!
Tai wins Immunity! It's like he was Tai-ed onto the pole!
Zeke pushes his Andrea agenda to Sierra. She doesn't trust him. Andrea hears it and is now ticked at Zeke. Ozzy is with Cirie. Now they're all abuzz about voting out Zeke. Whoa! Debbie has started a blindside Ozzy movement.
Tribal Council time. They talk about how the game seems higher stake and cagier this season.
Debbie uses her Advantage of an extra vote.
The tally --
Ozzy, Zeke, Sierra, Ozzy, Zeke, Ozzy, Zeke, Ozzy, Zeke, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy
Sorry, Petals. Ozzy is outsy.
Hey, Jackie and Vincent and others who arrive. Jackie, I am such a sacredly cat that an encounter like you had with the young man would make me wet my pants. But it sounds like you handled it well.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of you!
ReplyDeleteI don't scare easily.
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteHi, everyone!! Got Pinot Grigio and spinach dip in a bread bowl with cut veggies! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone!! Hope someone brought something good to eat 'cause I'm starving!!! Not cooking tonight so i may have to make a McDonald's run...
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~
ReplyDeleteHello Ms Jackie! *scritcha-scritcha* to Vincent!
Whoohooooo! Last week was ONE. CRAZY. TRIBAL! All the fallout became National news!
I have Stella! Monty is bringing a cool new drink (I think!)
Also, I have sweet & sour buffalo wings.
XOXOXOX
I forgot this is a double show...and they are doing the same on TAR tomorrow starting at 9pm.
ReplyDeleteHey, Joe, tbc and others who arrive.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky, TBC, BFJoeinNY and SueG!
ReplyDeleteI admire that Zeke didn't bring his "transism" to the game, but he's handled it so well.
ReplyDeleteHey, Petals. Did you bring Stella?
ReplyDeleteHi Ozzy *waving to my honey*
ReplyDeleteWow, that's cold.
ReplyDeletePetals - I saw your comment at the end of last week. I am the one watching ER. They have been in order and this week the second season ends and the third starts. Three shows a day have been a little much, but TG for dvrs
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteI brought BBQ ribs from a local mom & pop restaurant. Dig in.
SueGee, I left you a messege at the end of the TAR blog in case you missed it.
Hi Becky, Jackie, Joe, tbc, SueGee and Petals... I have three pounds of sriracha shrimp and pitchers of Whipped Lightening (Watermelon Mash)!! Yum
ReplyDeleteHi David
ReplyDeleteHey, David. I will have to tape AR. We have other plans.
ReplyDeleteHey, Monty.
ReplyDeleteVodka, Watermelon vodka, orange juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and topped with Strawberry Colada Whipahol :))
ReplyDeleteYUM! Yay, Monty! I'd love to try one of those!
ReplyDeleteSue - YAY! I was hoping you saw my msg. I am SO loving my ER fix. ^5
ReplyDeleteFlies on the ham... oh goody
ReplyDeleteawwww Tai
ReplyDeleteDavid - not sure they want my credit card for a free service??
ReplyDeleteI bet there is a tiny feast for Brad & Tai?
ReplyDeleteI'm still working, but I'm with you all in spirit. :-(
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten - who has idol(s)?
ReplyDeleteEww
ReplyDeleteTai has two and Troy has one
ReplyDeleteDebbie is such a nut case. I would love to see her in the real world. She can't possibly be that bizarre.
ReplyDeleteAnd tonight FARGO is back!!!!!!!! Too much TV LOL When did I used to find time to work??
ReplyDeletehey Penny
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! Kudos to all of you for behaving without your Lifeguard last week. I was enjoying our daughters' beautiful wedding in Oahu and didn't even think about the show. I did get caught up yesterday. What a show!
ReplyDeleteNo SueGee, don't give them anything. When I tried, it went right to the live feed. It is all what you click. I am used to bypassing that stuff for movies, etc. Let me look.
ReplyDeleteDeb hurts my eyes! But Ozzie is so cute that I will watch Him. Just looking Petals. I am old but not dead.
ReplyDeleteHey Penny! Hi Dave :)
ReplyDeleteOzzy was SO smart to not take that 'punishment'; he needs to network!
I'll second that, Joe
ReplyDeleteoh grossssss...Debbie twerking? Is there a more frightening sight?
ReplyDeletePenny, we miss you.
ReplyDeletePUT THAT S*** AWAY!
ReplyDeleteLaurie!!! Grab some shrimp and a drink!
ReplyDeleteSince I missed the last one and a half pool parties, I'm happy we get to party for two hours tonight.
ReplyDeleteDavid now it is working!! Survivor is on (and I do have the bandwidth)
ReplyDeleteHey EVERYONE!
ReplyDeleteLaurie!!!!! Hey girl :)
ReplyDeleteIt went right to the live feed of survivor when I just now did it SueGee. Didn't have to click on anything. CBS Stream 1.
ReplyDeleteHey Judi
ReplyDeleteMonty, Last week was SOO crazy, we really missed everyone sharing that nutty moment.
ReplyDeleteGosh, there are so any floaters this season. I'd forgotten that Cieri is still there until tonight. And the other girl...with all the brown hair? Get rid of the floaters! Dead weight.
ReplyDeletePetals, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after I watched last weeks tribal.
ReplyDeleteThe only good thing about the merge is that my Ozzie can save himself, not rely on a tribe of back-stabbers.
ReplyDeletePoor Mykaela, being targeted again.
ON my 5th Stella! LOL, it's been a DAY
Glad it works for you SueGee. =)
ReplyDeleteI read that Varner lost his job after they saw the show last week
ReplyDeleteI can't watch and chat here until I get my desktop booted up...I will try it tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteMonty - OMG, me too! I wanted to go on & on about it with you, but it was a crazy week-end.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it was SHOCKING! Truly a moment to go down in Survivor History.
Dalton Ross from EWeekly has a radio show, weekdays, and he does all the Survivor stuff. He was taking calls from the audience & stuff, and the world was just stunned.
I'm from the intolerant Right, the Midwest Bible belt, but I felt for Zeke. But I truly think Varner didn't have forethought and malice in his heart when he said that. Plus, I've learned that about 80minutes of tribal happened before the "outing", and that it wasn't just out of the blue; there was a lead-up that was edited out.
In short: I forgive Varner, and I thank him for an amazing Survivor moment.
Petals, want some wine to compliment that Stella?
ReplyDeleteAww, Sue. I wish you were in our time zone
ReplyDeleteHey, Laurie and Judi. Penny will you miss both shows tonight?
ReplyDeleteTBC - sure! I have 2 hands :) hehe
ReplyDeleteHali! She is dead weight. And that tall blonde, too. Floaters.
ReplyDeleteGood advice from Cirie
ReplyDeleteNow, now, Petals, lol. That tall blonde is my pool girl :)))
ReplyDeleteI loved the way the rest of the tribe came down on Varner but I hate he lost his job over it.
ReplyDeleteMy pool girl twerked tonight. My eyes are still watering....
ReplyDeleteCrazy!!! They need to get rid of dead weight!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Becky. I don't think anyone should lose their job over a reality TV show. They do sign up for it, but what they do there and what they do in the 'regular' life should be kept apart.
ReplyDeletec'mon Ozzie - you got this!
ReplyDeletesorry, friend.
ReplyDeleteMy friend that was on Survivor (twice) said that after they cast their votes, they had to sit and wait for the producers to put the votes into the order they wanted Jeff to read them, and sometimes it took an hour or more! And those TC discussions are very heavily edited.
ReplyDeleteLOL@tbc
ReplyDeletehang in there Ozz!
ReplyDeletegood try, Micha!
ReplyDeleteUt oh
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteoh honey.
I'd root for Tai, but he went after my man...
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Andrea
ReplyDeleteWOOOOO
ReplyDeleteWTG Andrea!
Who is Andrea again...
ReplyDeleteI hate it for Michaela, but I sure hope she goes before my l♥ve.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the tribe is split with Ozzy, Brad, Troy as the alpha dogs on one side, and Cirie, Andrea, Zeke and now Micheala on the other. This could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey need to get the floaters out, but it is always about getting the power players out first. JMHO
ReplyDeleteLOL Tbc
ReplyDeleteNooo, not Michaela, she is my pool pick. Already out of the TAR pool, not both pools in a week. lol
ReplyDeletetbc, the one in the itsy bitsy bikini! I wish I had a body like that. I would flaunt it too.
ReplyDeleteHi Everybody! Jumpin' in late.....just got home.
ReplyDeleteHad dinner out with my son & his family tonight, celebrating a big promotion he received at work today.
hey Ed!!
ReplyDeleteLol, Becky! I know.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of Cirie - biggest dead weight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ed!
ReplyDelete****cheers to Ed's promotion ****
After last tribal, voting out Zeke? Is that even a believable story?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son Ed. =)
ReplyDeleteHey Petals, Thanks! My son's promotion.
ReplyDeleteHey homie... that's awesome and now you can celebrate it again with us. Tell him your pool peeps said congrats.
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry. Still cool, and still congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks David & Monty!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son Ed!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Ed. I am not crazy about sheriff tall blond.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came in during the immunity challenge I saw someone's foot with a heart tatto.......was that Ozzy?
ReplyDeleteMore twister weather expected tonight in KCMO area; heading East. Be careful, Monty, Ed, Dave & Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI know, Petals. You stay safe tonight and are forecast for tomorrow isn't good. :(((
ReplyDeleteOzzie has a tree on one foot, all the way to his knee, on one foot.
ReplyDelete*our
ReplyDeleteThanks SueGee & Becky! He worked very hard for this position and was finally rewarded.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the sheriff tall blond gave perfect nails and eyebrows? How does that happen in the jungle?
ReplyDelete*have not gave
ReplyDeleteThat was Sierra, Ed (I think)
ReplyDeleteTBC - Waxed brows, and semi-perm dye. And Gel nails last a long time?
ReplyDeleteCirie has always been a player behind a lot of moves!
ReplyDeleteThanks Homie. It was the first thing I saw when I turned on the TV
ReplyDeleteDid she just offer to strip?
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks Petals, but I live where all this bad weather comes from, in the Mountain time zone. Storms roll out of the rockies and create havoc in the plains.
ReplyDeleteThe tribals this season have been awesome! Unprecedented, the crazy stuff that has happened each week.
ReplyDeleteCirie doesn't mess aroung, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWOHOOOOOOOO!!!! YES!!
ReplyDeleteCuttin off the dead weight!
*cheers*
Your right Petals.... Tribal councils have been so entertaining
ReplyDeleteThere went the 'eye candy'
ReplyDeleteOh, Micaela - you are being snookered!
ReplyDeleteI had Hali in the pool the first time she played. She was pretty impressive this time.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of Cirie, grrrr.
ReplyDeleteLOL, they all think they're the new sheriff in town
ReplyDeleteWow.... That was wild. Bye, bye Hali..,
ReplyDeleteThey could have done me a favor and strip searched Hali before they booted her. :)
ReplyDeletewhew! Love that my bf isn't on the chopping block this week.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteLOL Joe, down boy xoxo
ReplyDeleteLol, Joe. That seems to be the consensus for the males here :)))
ReplyDeleteI do have to agree with Joe! ;)
ReplyDeleteI will also have to agree with Joe. =)
ReplyDeleteKudos to Jackie for her live updates! During the commercials I flip back to the main page to read her take.
ReplyDeletebwhahaha! I love the healthy men in our pool *sigh*
ReplyDelete*cheers to Jackie*
ReplyDeletec'mon OZZIE!
ReplyDeleteLoving these competitions and tribals this season. I'm glued to the tv!!
ReplyDeleteGO OZZZZZZ
ReplyDeleteme too TBC!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAA, my eye's. Debbie just twerked here. I don't know if I can un-see that. (I am an hour behind you all)
ReplyDeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteYay, Petals. Your boy gets reward :))
ReplyDeletewooohoooooo
ReplyDeleteOZZIE is safe!
Hi everyone...
ReplyDeleteSorry, got involved in the Stanley playoffs and forgot it was Survivor time!!
Last week's show was something else. Varner deserved to go.
So Hali gone. Who will be next?
Anyone but Ozzi, please.
David, I am still seeing replay in my head! It may lead to nightmares tonight.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be fresh, clean and well-fed for me. MMmmmm *giddy giggle*
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon!
ReplyDeletetbc and David, you two have me giggling.
ReplyDeleteCirie - please be successful at leaving this show, OK?
ReplyDelete"EXpecially"? Learn the words, chick.
ReplyDeleteGo Tai!!! Love it
ReplyDelete*mentally scrubbing Ozzie's back* mmmmm
ReplyDelete*sigh*
More eye 'hurt'!
ReplyDeleteLol. Thank God we didn't see Troyzan...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Ciera go. She seems worthless to me. No help at all except to cause trouble.
ReplyDeleteHey Petals! :)
ReplyDeleteBrad is my pool pick, but I still like Ozzie.
I can't help but like Tai also.
So, I am so slow. It dawned on me that the tall blond sheriff is my pool person! LOL at myself.
ReplyDeleteAw, Man. You're all coming down on Cirie now. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cirie. I think she won of those best players who have never won the game. Kind of like Ozzie if you think about it.
ReplyDeleteYes, Becky. She's our pool girl :)))
ReplyDeleteSharon, I like both of those guys too.
ReplyDeleteLol, Becky!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Monty, I really don't like Cirie
ReplyDeleteI like Cirie, too.
ReplyDeleteWow! The past hour and a half raced by.
ReplyDeleteLOL Monty. Cirie* (who I meant) is still doing more than I would be able to do. Just compared to everyone else there she does nothing but stir up trouble.
ReplyDeleteozzie and Tai should do well here
ReplyDeleteOH no. This Tai's challenge. :( Oh no. Hang on Ozzie - pretend that pole is ME!
ReplyDeleteTai or one of the girls????
ReplyDeleteTai or Ozzy should win this.
ReplyDeleteBut David... that's her genius in this game :)))
ReplyDeleteLOL Petals!!
ReplyDeleteLol, Petals!!
ReplyDeletePetals, you are incorrigible. Please excuse my spelling.
ReplyDeleteTai looks like a koala
ReplyDeletesorry, didn't mean to be un-ladylike.
ReplyDeleteGO OZZZZZZZZZbaby
Come on Ozz
ReplyDeleteWow... she almost knocked herself out there. I thought her head was going to hit the pole
ReplyDelete1 hour!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHave either one of those two guys even moved. LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is terrible!
ReplyDeleteHold on my love!
Couple of monkeys hanging out in the trees.... true Jeff
ReplyDeleteMonty, I was a little worried for her.
ReplyDeleteTai has less weight to support
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! This could be bad, Petals :(((
ReplyDeleteTai is a spider monkey. :(
ReplyDeleteI would love to see those two as the final two.
ReplyDeleteThat's OK baby
ReplyDeleteme too Becky
ReplyDeletePetals, just keep on being your adorable self. You make me laugh and I love to laugh.
ReplyDeleteLOL Jackie said "like he was Tai-ed to the pole"
ReplyDeleteMy hubby made banana muffins and brought me two with a glass of milk. He's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jackie, put a mark on the wall!
ReplyDeleteThat was epic though. So many epic moments this season!!
ReplyDeleteoh, anybodybutOzzie, please!
ReplyDelete(you guys remember the dude in the pool who's name was AnybodybutJanelle? LOL)
Oh, Debbie put Ozzy's name out there
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteUh Oh Petals her comes Debbie
ReplyDeleteC'mon are you serious?!?
ReplyDeleteIs it too late to strip search Hali?
ReplyDeleteNO!!!! Not Ozzie. And Tai has the neckless.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is: Ozzie & Debbie both go home, all alone in their bedroom(s) and look in the mirror - Ozzie sees OZZIE. What does Debbie see? LMAO!! Who wins?
ReplyDeleteI wish someone had the balls to call Debbie out LOL
ReplyDelete
