Survivor: Ghost Island - April 18 Blog Party


I will try my best to at least post the major events of the show as it airs this week. I still can't twist around or sit too long with the back surgery, thus the live blogging might not be as thorough as it could be.

Lifeguard Laurie was relieved that the merge finally came and they stopped shuffling the castaways into different tribes! Here's the latest blog pool standings --

POOL 
Chelsea Townsend - David, Merrilee 
Domenick Abbate - Donna in Alabama, Janice 
Donathan Hurley - Becky, Terry is a Texan! 
Libby Vincek - tbc, jennifer, Laurie 
Angela Perkins - monty924, Karen JC 
Desiree Afuye - Bizarro22, Karen in California 
Kellyn Bechtold - Glenn Allen, Margo, Delee 
Michael Yerger - Sharon N., Tammy 
Jenna Bowman - Brian, Judi Sweeney 
Laurel Johnson - PDX Granny, Donna in FL 
Sebastion Noel - Indiana Jane, Shannon, Jackie 
Wendell Holland - Skyriverblue, Jennasmom 

JURY 
Chris Noble

Who wants to eat icky food? Well, go ahead. I'll watch. 

Twelve are left. Who will be voted out tonight? 

Libby is a bit worried because she's received votes three Tribals in a row. Dom is thrilled that Chris is gone. Wendell wants to stick with Dom, Donathan and Laurel hoping it's a core group. He tells Laurel that Dom indeed has a real idol, trying to make sure the loyalty is there.  He also tells her that he himself has an idol. All of this makes her a bit more leery of him as he's been keeping secrets. She thinks Dom and Wendell might have too much power.

Reward Challenge -- Two teams of six. An afternoon at the Survivor Taco Bar. Schoolyard pick. Balance beams across platforms, race across beach, catapult at targets. Wendell, Donathan, Laurel, Angela, Chelsea and Libby win Reward.  They draw rocks and Jenna goes to Ghost Island.

Chelsea ended up with a "No Game For You" scroll. She is quite disappointed. 

Uh-oh. Wendell found out that Michael's been tossing his name around. New target drawn on his back!

Time for the Immunity Challenge. It's the food eating competition. Always lovely to watch! Fish eyes first! First three of six to get both eyes down move on to the next round. Michael, Desiree and Laurel move on. Angela, Sebastian and Dom move on in the next group.

Beetle larva (live, of course) is next. Michael, Sebastion and Laurel move on.

Some kind of icky sea "squab?" Michael is moving on! Angela is moving on.

Mother of Pearl meat and lots of it. ANGELA WINS IMMUNITY! 

Michael wants Wendell out. Angela wants Michael out. The original Naviti think they should get Michael out. They want to get Laurel in with them. The original Naviti/Malolo tribes seem to be sticking together quite well. Libby is willing to vote for Michael but now she's worried her name will still be in there. 

Tribal Council time. Lots of Probsting questions, little drama. It's time to vote.

The tally ... Michael plays his idol! 

Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Wendell, Libby, Libby, Libby.

Libby is out.

I brought PeptoBismol for the gross food challenge

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe! Is anyone else having their tv screen trying to freeze up?

tbc said...

Hi everyone!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Suegee and Monty!

SueGee said...

Hope everyone is warm and dry tonight. My sister has been basically snowed in up in Michigan this week

SueGee said...

Good idea Monty...maybe barf buckets are in order? And something to rinse the mouth out with.

Petals said...

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

Hello Jackie & Vincent!
Hi BF Joe n NY!
Hey Monty 🙋

Hello to everyone I missed!!! I have cool STELLA and frozen Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

Petals said...

Squeeeeg!

SueGee said...

Pass me a Stella please...and I'm not even watching them eat the gross stuff yet!

jennifer said...

Hi all!!! I’m late to the pool!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC and Petals!

monty924 said...

Hey tbc! Petals, slide me a STELLA! I've missed the past two shows so I need a cold one. :)))

Petals said...

Tossing one to Monty *CATCH* lol

Sliding a cool Stella to Sue! 🍺

CHEERS

tbc said...

Another great challenge!

Petals said...

Wendell is VIP, guess there will be a target on his back?

monty924 said...

Yay, Purple. My girl gets to eat!

Petals said...

Hey TEEEB!!!! Hi Jennifer!!! Hi Glenn!
STELLA anyone? 🍺

Since my Ken doll pool boy Chris is gone, I am rooting for Michael.

jennifer said...

Well that comp looked exhausting, but let’s go Libby, build those relationships lol

monty924 said...

Chris was an idiot last week. I can't believe he blew that idol... I guess it's still cursed.

monty924 said...

Margaritas... perfect reward. CHEERS

monty924 said...

There goes Libby. She'll probably cut Michael's throat now. :((

Petals said...

Monty, I agree - Chris totally shot himself in the foot. He will be OK after Survivor, but I would've liked him to go further.

Petals said...

Leave Michael alone!!

SueGee said...

Now I want a Margarita...strawberry one :o)

monty924 said...

Now my girl is targeting Michael, LOL

monty924 said...

Haha, SueGee. I always order the original on the rocks with salt and my other half always gets a frozen strawberry no salt. :)))

Glenn Allen said...

She is stirring the pot. People looking for an easy vote!

monty924 said...

Glenn, I think she's smart doing that. I may have some hope for my girl now.

monty924 said...

Here we go.... gross eating

Petals said...

they all have matching hair buns, LOL @@

monty924 said...

Remember when Cochran won this? I knew he was destined then :)))

Joe in NY said...

I could eat anything...but not the live things.

tbc said...

Gross!!!!

jennifer said...

Gagging sounds here!!!

monty924 said...

I'd swallow them whole and risk choking

Joe in NY said...

Wendell may be in trouble. He's too comfortable

Petals said...

ACK!!! No way. That is one of a 100 reasons that I don't do reality shows, LOL

Do they have to chew?? Swallow it whole!!

monty924 said...

Yay Angela

Joe in NY said...

I don't know that I would be chewing those things. Geez

Glenn Allen said...

The women with the princess Lei buns. My pool girl Kellyn is out of challenge. Angela is doing good!

Petals said...

Agree Joe - he didn't even try! And the eyeballs were way easier than the grubs. Poor lil grubs :(

Petals said...

GO MICHAEL!

monty924 said...

They only have to get it down, Petals

jennifer said...

When I was a baby, living in Australia... my mom caught me eating a big nasty grub like that...maybe I was warming up for survivor lololo

Joe in NY said...

How the hell is she taking those things whole?

Petals said...

awww, poor sea slugs

monty924 said...

Go GIRL

jennifer said...

Angela is a beast!

monty924 said...

Oh YUCK. The egg. Remember the lunch lady???

Petals said...

Angela is almost pornographic with those slugs.
I don't like her, sorry.

monty924 said...

Yay, GO ANGELA

tbc said...

Angela’s a beast!!

Petals said...

C'MON MICHAEL! ! ! ! ! !

Petals said...

blech!

monty924 said...

Haha, Petals. She destroyed that challenge.

jennifer said...

Ha Petals!! She was channeling her inner Gene Simmons 🤣

Petals said...

LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jennifer. Angela is using her military experience. It looked like she went into a zone!

monty924 said...

RFOL, Jennifer. She was :))

Joe in NY said...

Something is going to happen here, we have too much time left. There's either going to be a scramble at camp or a scramble at tribal.

Jackie S. said...

When I was a very young child, I ate a caterpillar. They had to take me to the hospital to get all of the bristles out of my mouth and lips.

Petals said...

LOL Jennifer! Or something!

Please not Michael, please not Michael,please not Michael,please not Michael,please not Michael,please not Michael!

Jackie - I hope you are moving a bit better this week! How is your pain level?
OH! On my way in, I dropped by PayPal to contribute to your costs of having chlorine & catnip delivered for our parties.

monty924 said...

Ouch, Jackie!

SueGee said...

Yucky Jackie!

Petals said...

Why, Jackie? Did someone dare you? Were you just curious?

If they aren't careful, do-nothing Donathan will be in the finals!

SueGee said...

Oh jeeze, they are showing my local earthquake fault on the national news. I live about a mile from it and used to work almost on top of it

Jackie S. said...

I was a toddler when I did it. You know how everything goes in the mouth at that age! And thank you!

monty924 said...

Jackie, at least you didn't stick a bean up your nose. My Grandpa kept a journal all of his life and one entry was about him and Grandma taking my dad to the doctor (circa 1920's) because my Dad had put a bean up his nose, LOL.

jennifer said...

I always find the conversation at Tribal Council very interesting!!

monty924 said...

I forgot about Ponderosa. Heading over there after the show to watch Chris when he arrived there.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi all hust checking. Still at work.

Nickelpeed said...

Oops, *just*

jennifer said...

I saw a teaser a couple of days ago via Facebook, but was unsuccessful to see the whole thing! Love that sidebar part of Survivor!

jennifer said...

Hi Nickelpeed!!

jennifer said...

Ha! Michael!!!

monty924 said...

Yay, Ozzie's cursed stick is no more

SueGee said...

Hi Penny!! Sorry you are having to work tonight

monty924 said...

Damn, Wendall escaped this one.

Petals said...

Wendell did a weird thing: he excelled in the physical challenge but then sucked at the eating thing!

This tribe is all mostly floaters. It sucks, IMO. I hate this tribe. Only like 2-3 true players, IMO.
There is a flaw in the Survivor game, where the athletic, strong players who win the challenges are then targeted by the very tribe they played for! What can be done?

tbc said...

Oh no!! My pool pick is out....

monty924 said...

*Wendell

jennifer said...

Oh no..... my sweet girl was voted out! 😢 my hats 🎩 off th Michael! See y’all next week, hopefully we will get some warmer weather!!

Petals said...

All these loser chicks running the show, voting out the winners. It's like Jun..


OZZZZZZZIIIIEEEEE

It's like Jun winning BB.

Oh, I'm so happy. But what will Michael do next week?

SueGee said...

Night everyone! Hope we didn't wear you out Jackie!!

monty924 said...

Great show and even better company. Thanks Jackie and will see you all next week.

Have a great evening and hopefully winter doesn't return here again this week. Night!!

Petals said...

Those fluckers! I hate them all!

What will he do next week ???

Michael will come back in an AllStar or Redemption or something?!? They are gunning for him! I hate them all!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny! That was a great move by Michael. The curse of Ozzies fake idol is gone1

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

Nickelpeed said...

Who had it; and who's going home.

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie.

tbc said...

Night night all!! See you next week!

Petals said...

I cannot even NAME the other people on the show except Michael, Wendell, Donathan and that chick that ate the junk. The rest are nameless, faceless, loser floaters!!!!

Petals said...

G'nite everyone! Have a great week. Please remember the beautiful Artist, Prince, that passed on 4/21/2016.

Thank you Jackie, Vincent & Lifeguard Laurie for our party place! See you all next week. XOXOX

Nickelpeed said...

Hope Michael finds another idol. I'd be happy if either Wendell or Dom go home next week.

David said...

Wow, those do nothing girls had it out for her for weeks. Guess I will never understand that. Same happens on BB.

Thanks Jackie. =) I hope your recovery is going well.

Everyone have a great week.

Nickelpeed said...

I just watched Survivor. Great episode. I know one thing, if they do not get rid of either Dom or Wendell, they might as well kiss the million good bye. Laurel is right, Dom and Wendell have too much power. We'll see if they do something about it. Probably not.

Auntie Leigh said...

Glad Michael saved himself again. He is a good player. But..does anyone know how you get to be a real estate seller when you are only 18?? I agree with Petals that all the most interesting people are getting targeted and the nameless faceless crowd is riding the wake.

Sharon N said...

If the final comes down to Dom and Wendell, I'd much rather Wendell win.
Glad my pool buddy (Michael) saved himself, but with his Idol gone now, his goose is cooked... unless he wins immunity from now on (highly unlikely).
