Survivor: Game Changers - April 26 Blog Party


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!

Here's the updated pool! Lifeguard Laurie is rockin' as always!
Andrea Boehlke - Indiana Jane, ML
Aubry Bracco - Ed in Ohio, meb
Brad Culpepper - Brian, Sharon N
Cirie Fields - Leonia Hart, Terry is a Texan
Debbie Wanner - Glenn, tbc
Michaela Bradshaw - David, Jackie
Sarah Lacina - Delee, Rbennie
Sierra Thomas - Becky, monty924
Tai Trang - Cheryl in NC, Sharon C
Troyzan Robertson - Donna in Alabama, Lifeguard Laurie
Zeke Smith - Janice from GA, Paula Bell

JURY
Hali Ford
Ozzy Lusth

 Survivor fans ready?

Debbie thinks she and her allies are six strong and will systematically vote the other five out one by one. Zeke knows Andrea is targeting him. Is Sarah still on his side? It's hard to say in this game. It's everyone for themselves.

Reward Challenge -- Two teams of five, each individually race through series of obstacles in water, ring toss. Schoolyard pick, one will sit out. Michaela sits out and can't be eligible for reward -- a trip to an island and picnic. 

Brad, Sierra, Debbie, Aubry and Andrea win Reward. Cirie did terrible and they're letting her complete it. Michaela really should have been chosen over Cirie. They're making a big deal over Cirie pushing her way through it. 

All the time Michaela sat there, she had a secret advantage at her feet. She never noticed it, but Sarah did. Sarah snagged it. It's an extra vote at Tribal which can be used only until the final five.

cirie tries to convince Sarah that she (Sarah) is at the bottom of the Brad/Sierra, etc. alliance. Cirie has her thinking. But she is wondering if the time is right for a big move or not. 

Immunity Challenge time! Pull on a rope balancing wobbly table, stack letters spelling "Immunity." 

Troyzan wins Immunity! 

Sierra is glad part of her Power Six won. She is sure Andrea will go home. (So it probably won't be Andrea going home!) 

Brad is annoyed by Michaela, as is Debbie. But they agree Andrea is a bigger strategic threat. Sarah takes being left out of the decision as another hint she's at the bottom of the pack. She talks to Zeke. They need to bring in Zeke's nemesis Andrea.

Uh-oh. Sierra tells Sarah that she wants the final three to be them along with Debbie. Now, will Sarah flip or not? Debbie still wants Michaela out. 

Now they're all turning against Debbie. 

What a quandary!

It's time for Tribal Council. Lots of talk of the six at the top. Andrea and Michaela's names have come up. Debbie is being too smug. 

The tally:
Andrea, Debbie, Andrea, Debbie, Andrea, Debbie, Andrea, Debbie, Andrea, Debbie, Debbie.

Debbie is voted out! Troyzan looks stunned as was Brad!

~*~**~*~*~* SPLASH *~*~*~*~~**~

Hello! Happy Wednesday!

I have a case of Stella and a lot of fresh fruit: oranges, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, bananas...

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie and Petals. Hi Vincent, I'll rub your ears!

Are we ready to see these idiots go forward?

I offer cinnamon rolls!!

Becky said...

Hey, Jackie, Petals and others.

Becky said...

Hey, Penny. Petals, I finally got to drink a REAL Stella this past weekend.

Nickelpeed said...

Oh Debbie, SHUT UP!!!

I hope she is voted out next. I do not like her, nor Brad.

Petals said...

Hey Penny & Becky!

I forgot my catnip & scritcha to Master Vincent, and salute to Ms Jackie, MC!

Petals said...

Becky - what did you think?

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Becky! Been thinking of you.

Becky said...

Hey, Penny. Hope they were good thoughts.

Jackie S. said...

Mmm ... cinnamon rolls and beer.

Glenn said...

Hi Jackie and everyone! I hope my pool pick Debbie gets voted out tonight. She is acting so confident

SueGee said...

~~~~SPLASH ~~~~~~~~~ Howdy Everyone!!

Ready for another life changing moment tonight??

SueGee on the LeftCoast

Becky said...

I can tolerate Brad, but Debbie, no way. I wish a pox on her skinny behind! With Ozzie gone I have no favorite any more. I hope they all starve!

Nickelpeed said...

Becky, yes, I always say prayers for my friends. Hope you are doing better.

SueGee said...

Anyone watch the Ponderosas?

Nickelpeed said...

That's sad Makala was left out. I would have left out Debbie.

Nickelpeed said...

LOL. Becky, I feel the same way. Can't stand Debbie. I hope she does not get the reward.

David said...

Hello Everyone =)

LOL @ Becky, "hope they starve"

I had Debbie in the pool pick last time she was on. Sure glad I didn't get the double whammy this time. She can go.

Petals said...

Sue - I watched my Ozzy's interviews. *sigh* He needs ONE MORE CHANCE!

SueGee said...

I think Ponderosa sounds too much like my favorite drink Mimosa (and i have a bottle of bubbly)

Petals said...

Ozzy would have KILLED this challenge

Nickelpeed said...

I'm liking Aubry much better this time.

monty924 said...

Hi folks... grabbing a Stella

Becky said...

I don't want Debbie to get to eat!

SueGee said...

OT to Petals - I think they are going to show all of the ER episodes in order beginning to end!! My DVR is going to run out of room unless I have an ER marathon

Nickelpeed said...

I just do not want Blue to win. Dang.

Petals said...

geeminy! These challenges are hard-core!

monty924 said...

I hope Michaela finds that advantage clue

Petals said...

Good job, Zeke

Yeah - WHY is Makayla not playing?

Petals said...

MONTY!!!!!! hi

SueGee said...

Why did they not pick Michaela?? I would want her on my team

Petals said...

Sue - yes they are! I have 17 on my DVR, am SOOOOO excited! Loving it, loving ER!

Petals said...

Reason #13 why Cirie didn't not need to be on this season

Nickelpeed said...

I loved ER. Best moment was when the helicopter fell on Dr. Romano. LOL I know I'm bad. Saddest were when Dr. Greene and Lucy die.

Becky said...

Darn, darn, darn. I like Aubrey. Look under the bench, Mick

Petals said...

Makayla is (rightfully) disgusted...

Sharon N said...

Hi all...
I'm tagging along with y'all on the thread until the show starts here.
Hard to believe 'my guy' Brad is still there... and Debbie.

Nickelpeed said...

I hate that Debbie and Brad got to go on a reward.


Dang I wish Makala got the secret advantage.

monty924 said...

Good for Sarah, but I wish Michaela had found it... DARN

SueGee said...

You got that right Penny. It has been fun falling in love with the characters all over again

Petals said...

go Sarah! wow

tbc said...

Hi all!!

Got lots of wine with me. Pinot Grigio and merlot

Nickelpeed said...

We used to hate people coming back in to the game, but I really want Ozzy and Malcolm back.

Petals said...

Penny - it's so easy to see why George Clooney took over the world during this series. homina-homina

SueGee said...

He was hunk then and he still is now!! (Clooney)

Nickelpeed said...

I'm out of wine, darn it. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I was never a Clooney fan, but yes, he is good looking.

monty924 said...

Tai has such a good and sweet soul

Petals said...

Penny - I have Stella...?

SueGee said...

I was a big fan of The Good Wife - Julianne sure grew up nice too

Petals said...

Survivor may be one of very few programs that expose the Conservative Right to alternate cultures. My 'husband' is a racist, redneck a-hole, but he was appalled at the Zeke outing, and he loves Tai. If nothing else, all these different people are opening eyes.

Nickelpeed said...

How much you want to bet she takes the vote from Andrea. Sure Sarah...nobody else plays it right. LOL

Becky said...

I just wish Debbie was not getting a reward. Thank you, Penny. Between my health, my hubby's health and general crap going on it has not been much fun. We did get to see, visit and share meals with them.

Petals said...

Sue - yes, what a beauty, too.



PS - RIP Joanie Cunningham (my nemesis since puberty, because she kissed Chachi before I did)

tbc said...

I have plenty of wine.. what would you like?

monty924 said...

My girl is a little too cocky for me

Nickelpeed said...

Debbie is such a self promoter. She will never realize how conceited and ridiculous she sounds.

I am so hoping someone turns on those 3, Brad, Sierra, and Debbie.

Petals said...

hey TBC, our resident badass

Nickelpeed said...

They need to get together and vote out someone from team Brad. They really do. If not, they are going to be picked off one by one.

Petals said...

I am rooting for Brad.

SueGee said...

Sorry, my laptop dropped the wireless connection (again)

Yes, RIP Joannie Cunningham

Becky said...

Monty, the only thing I have against Tai is he listens to the last person who speaks to him. He flip flops on a dime. I really like him too. I just wish he would grow a pair, pick a side and stick to it.

Nickelpeed said...

I know, Petals. I had a crush on Chachi. It's so sad that Erin died of cancer. Breaks my heart.

Glenn said...

How do you watch the Ponderosa's?

tbc said...

Lol, Petals!

Nickelpeed said...

I like Tai, too. But, I agree with Becky, he flip flops too much. And, talks too much.

SueGee said...

I hope Debbie is gone soon. She is getting way to cocky and in this game that means gone gone gone

Becky said...

I haven't said hey to those who arrived later, so am giving a hey y'all. I had less than three hours sleep and have been dragging since. I went to water aerobics today and it wiped me out.

Petals said...

HI Glenn - I do!


Love these challenges!

SueGee said...

Glen, they are on the CBS web site and I think you need all access for new stuff.

Petals said...

(am I the only one excited to see a cleaned-up Ozzy at Tribal tonight?)

Petals said...

GO MAKAYLA

tbc said...

I miss Ozzy!

David said...

If Debbie or Brad is not ousted tonight, I hope it is Cirie. Any of those three can go.

Go Makayla, my pool pick. =)

Nickelpeed said...

No, dang it. I wanted Andrea to win. Drop it Troyzan!!

Petals said...

ditto, TBC

Nickelpeed said...

Crap. That means another person at the bottom is going home. Probably Andrea or Michella.

tbc said...

I want my pool pick to go home!!

monty924 said...

Go Troyzan...

Glenn, they are up on the shows homepage under videos, and I think you can find them on youtube.

Becky said...

At least Debbie or Sierra are not safe.

Petals said...

I'd LOVE to see Debbie leave tonight. Please?

Nickelpeed said...

David, the problem is if it's Cirie gone, it keeps the super strong team together and they will pick of Michalla eventually. I hope Brad, Sierra or Debbie go home. But I think it will be Andrea.

The problem with some groups, they go after each other. I think that's what those at the bottom will do. Instead of coming together, they pick each other off.

monty924 said...

Glenn, here's Ozzy's Ponderosa on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7hwU8PW80I

monty924 said...

Hali's Ponderosa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaQSuBo7Wo

Petals said...

Monty - *smile*

Petals said...

Could Debbie win on fugly alone? I mean, they don't see her as a "chick" or a "dude"; she is ambiguous...will skate under the radar.

Dang it.

monty924 said...

Yeah, go Sarah

Petals said...

Debbie is like the turd they let float in the punchbowl? Am I being too harsh?

Nickelpeed said...

Nooooooooooo, Sarah, noooooooooooooooooooooo

Nickelpeed said...

Don't do it, Aubry, don't listen to her.

monty924 said...

Crazy Debbie needs to go and soon - UGH

SueGee said...

Did they have the big moment during the challenge that has been on all the ads this week??

Petals said...

Save Michaela (sp - I'll never get it correct)!

Nickelpeed said...

I hope they vote out Debbie. Nobody's talking to Cierie?

Petals said...

"control Debbie". I won't even take that bait. LOL




monty924 said...

here comes Ozzy, Petals

Petals said...

Hey Baby!!!! Miss you! XOXOXOXXOXOX

Petals said...

*sigh*

Petals said...

ugh, the terrible grammar just floored me

tbc said...

They need to stop close ups of Debbie.

Petals said...

geeminy - Ozzy looks amazing. *deep sigh*

SueGee said...

Bad grammar? From someone that says they are smart??

Nickelpeed said...

My dogs are rough housing and I can't hear the show. LOL

Petals said...

LMAO @ TBC right?

"is perception reality?" Debbie - do you own a mirror?

Nickelpeed said...

Oh Petals. LOL

Becky said...

Ozzy thinks they are full of it. Disgusted would be a good word. He sure cleaned up good, Petals.

monty924 said...

Debbie should have never used her extra vote last week. It was wasted and I'm so HAPPY she did now, LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Oh please shift the numbers.....someone do something BIG. Get Debbie. Oh Debbie, your Democracy is rather skewered.

Petals said...

Becky - my boyfriend is homina-hot-hot-hot! :)

Petals said...

YES!!!! Please Debbie!!

monty924 said...

HAPPY DANCING!!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Woooooohooooooooo!

Becky said...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Petals said...

WOOHOOOOOO! Hope her ugly doesn't rub-off on my bf.

Petals said...

Love you guys! XOXOXOOXX

tbc said...

Ozzy looked fabulous gross and dirty!

Becky said...

I hope Ozzy kicks her behind! The only down side to her going is SHE won't have to starve.

Nickelpeed said...

The look on their faces was PRICELESS!!!

Jackie, thank you so much for hosting us. Appreciate it very much.

Will not be here tomorrow night. Have to work.

BUT, will be here for every Survivor hereafter!!!! YAYAYA.

Poor Ozzy has to put up with Debbie at the Ponderosa. Yuck.

SueGee said...

YEAH

tbc said...

Yes!!! My pool pick is out. I'm happy not to win. Hehehe

Jackie S. said...

People really can't help the way they look all that much. I think Debbie was a wackadoodle, but I refuse to comment on her looks. I wouldn't want people commenting on mine. But I'm glad she's out ant the game is changed up.

Sharon N said...

YAY!!! Jackie, your blog made my night!!!
Now off to watch... don't even care that I know the "right" result. LOL

SueGee said...

They have a way of isolating people at Ponderosa when they need to be given the silent treatment

David said...

Wooooot, good job. The right person left.

Thanks Jackie =)

Everyone have a great week.

SueGee said...

See you tomorrow night!!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you all for coming!

Nickelpeed said...

Debbie is so arrogant. They won't be in a worse position, they get to move things now. GO GIRLS!!!

Becky said...

Jackie and Vincent, hope all the cheering didn't wake Mr. V. Jackie, appreciate you hosting. Will try to be there tomorrow. Night all.

monty924 said...

LOL, I love the "stunned" Debbie :))))))

Have a great week folks and will see some of you tomorrow for TAR

tbc said...

Sorry, Jackie

Glenn said...

Thanks Monty. I am so happy that my pool pick Debbie got blindsided. She was acting so arrogant!

Judi Sweeney said...

So glad she got the boot! Hope Ozzie has a few words for her!

Judi Sweeney said...

Disliked Debbie's attitude and how she thought she was all that and more! Pay back for the wink and look she gave after getting Ozzie out! Thanks Jackie!!!

Sharon N said...

It was HYSTERICAL watching Michaela eating popcorn during the vote!!
Did anyone else notice? Too funny!!

monty924 said...

Yes, Sharon. It was fabulous!! And she clapped when the final vote came in, lol. I had to watch the entire show back to catch things I missed and enjoyed it the second time around just as much. I can't wait to hear all of Debbie's stories at Ponderosa, lol.

Petals said...

You're right Jackie. I got too caught-up in Debbie's behavior, I commented on her looks. Maybe if she was a nice, fun person we wouldn't notice her outside so much. I apologize for making ugly comments.

monty924 said...

Fell asleep on the couch and missed TAR again. ugh

Here's Debbie's Ponderosa. Ozzy and Hali welcomed her with open arms:
