Survivor: David vs. Goliath - Blog Party - October 10


I still might have some problems with tonight's live blogging as I get used to who's whom in the cast. I put up a cheat sheet with names and images at this link. But I won't really be able to access it while blogging and watching the show.

Survivor fans ready?

Previously on focuses on the Natalie/Jeremy rift and David's alliance voting out Jessica. Eighteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight? 

On David, the blindside has some wondering. Davie respects the gameplay, but is glad he has the idol. He hasn't told anyone about said idol. Nick is confident that if the tribe loses again, it will be again Mason/Dixon making the choice of who leaves. Carl is a bit bereft about Jessica going -- he felt protective of her. Bi says the blindside woke her up and game's on. She and Carl talk about Gabby betraying them. She trusted Gabby, not the others involved in the blindside.

On Goliath they're enjoying the fishing gear. John thinks he's growing as a person and connecting with people. He actually trusts Natalie and thinks he can work with her. Jeremy and Mike are bonding. Jeremy talks about his father, his background and his father's early Alzheimer's disease. Mike is worried that Jeremy has the reputation of a sneak (looking for idols in jackets) and doesn't want to ruin his game by bonding too much with him even though he really likes him.

Back on David, Gabby thinks Christian is her Number One Ally. She doesn't know his named alliance with Nick, obviously. Meanwhile, Nick wants to blame all the shifty moves on Gabby. Nick wants her gone so he for sure can be Christian's Number One.

On Goliath, Jeremy is leery of all the little conversations he's seeing. He thinks he's the biggest target. Uh-oh, he's voicing his concerns to the rest. Silly Jeremy called a tribal meeting. That will work as well as House Meetings on Big Brother! Mike thinks Jeremy is thinking too far ahead and it might come back to bite him. Attention is turning from Natalie to Jeremy as he might pose a bigger danger down the line. Jeremy is pushing to focus on Dan and his showmance gal Kara. He knows Dan has the idol and that he found it in Dan's jacket. Just the fact that he's sneaking around puts the spotlight on him.

Time for the Immunity Challenge. It's raining again! Not just raining, but pouring! One tied player will maneuver through obstacles, others untie ropes, hook a sled, puzzle. Reward is blankets, pillows, chairs. 

Whoa! The David Tribe actually won Immunity! First time this season. 

Angelina is blaming the loss on Natalie -- who's already on shaky ground with so many. 

David is outright gleeful. Bi hurt her knee. She recently recovered from an ACL injury and medics wrapped it up. 

Natalie asks Jeremy for his support although she's uncomfortable about asking. Jeremy tells us that she has poor attitude and poor communication skills. Alison said that Natalie has been digging her own grave all along. But ... now Jeremy's name is coming up. Now the girls are pushing him as a target. Mike still thinks Natalie should be the target and Jeremy is more useful to them right now. Now Natalie isn't trusting Jeremy. She thinks he's pushing the agenda against her. His paranoia is coming in very strong. 

Tribal Council time and Jeff's Probsting questions! They start talking about the weather. Into the tribe dynamics ... Jeremy already calls out Natalie. Whoops. he really lights into her behavior. Not necessarily a good move. Jeff says it's not throwing someone under the bus, but a freeway of eighteen-wheelers. Neither looks good in this, but Jeremy might be doing himself in. Well, now they're talking about her bad first impressions. Hmm. Natalie, at 57. calls herself a senior citizen and not a threat in the game, but Jeremy is a threat.

Time to vote after the Jeremy/Natalie Show. She gives Jeremy Natalie Napalm in her vote. 

The tally --
Natalie, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy.

Six votes, enough. And, my pool guy Jeremy is history. He did himself in.  

Next week, drop your buffs. I'm assuming a shake-up. It's too early for the merge.

Ed in Ohio said...

Petals said...

Jeremy's voice does not match his appearance. It's ... odd.

tbc said...

Ugh. Boxer-briefs

tbc said...

Hi, Monty!!

tbc said...

Hi, Glenn!!

monty924 said...

Well, that edit isn't looking so hot for my pool guy (Jeremy)

monty924 said...

Hey there Homie

jennifer said...

That’s what I said!
Why did guys think it’s ok to start wearing these on Survivor?!?

monty924 said...

I've got to change my avi, lol. Just realized I still have the BB Mean Girls :)))

tbc said...

I don’t know, Jennifer! I keep wondering that as well. Lol

Ed in Ohio said...

Hey Homie! I'm trying to remember who your pool guy Jeremy is. I'm like Jackie, I need a 'cheat sheet' with names & faces.

monty924 said...

Jeremy is the lawyer on Goliath.

jennifer said...

BI seems ruthless

monty924 said...

Tribal meeting, house meeting, whatever... not a good thing! UGH

Petals said...

I don't know names yet, but I love the older black guy. I DO NOT like Natalie (is that the older black woman?)
I like the actor guy, too.

So now there are alliance names??

jennifer said...

Natalie (or editing) is under the radar

Petals said...

I like John. "Fancy sleeves", LOL

Don't like Jeremy.

monty924 said...

This week, Jennifer LOL. She hasn't been up to this point.

Jackie S. said...

Ed - There is a cheat sheet with names, faces and pool peeps (except for the Pat change) linked in the main blog post.

monty924 said...

I guarantee she'll last longer than Jeremy though. Not getting good vibes with this edit.

Nickelpeed said...

Boy, I leave for a few, come back and the house is full!!

Hi Glenn, Petals, Monty, and Ed!

I would not trust Jeremy as far as I could throw him. I hate it when people go through another's belongings.

jennifer said...

Monty, I like your new avitar

Ed in Ohio said...

Seems like 'showmances' are even less popular on Survivor than on BB

monty924 said...

Oh man, the weather this season SUCKS

jennifer said...

Game time!

Nickelpeed said...

Well, they're going to get really muddy! I wish David would win at least one. Goliath is getting too cocky!!

tbc said...

OMG that rain!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Thanks Jackie I'll refer to it!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Penny!

monty924 said...

That puzzle looks easy. Almost easier than the Kaitlyn puzzle.

Nickelpeed said...

We it's all wet now. He uncovered it.

Petals said...

I wonder why they stopped doing the Survivor Auction?

Petals said...

someone is gonna get hurt!

Nickelpeed said...

I would love to see David get this.

Petals said...

GO ORANGE

tbc said...

Go David!!!

monty924 said...

Well, maybe not, LOL

monty924 said...

Whooo boy

Nickelpeed said...

YESSSSS!!!

jennifer said...

Yay David’s!!!

Petals said...

WHOOOOOOOOOO


Hope Natalie goes.

Nickelpeed said...

These people are shallow, petty and catty.

tbc said...

Lol, Monty! That Kaitlyn puzzle will haunt her forever...

Ed in Ohio said...

I tend to not trust the editing

Glenn Allen said...

Thanks Monty. My dish came back on and able to get back to this site. Is anyone living near the Hurricane?

Nickelpeed said...

I have to look at Natalie this way...She's older and has worked really hard to be successful. It is hard for women to make their businesses to work. It's even harder when you are a Black woman. She's all business. She's had to be all business, to be taken seriously. That's how I look at it. She definitely is not friendly, though.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny and Petals!

Petals said...

my family live in Mobile, Fairhope & Orange Beach Alabama. Close, but not in danger zone. All have power as of now...

Petals said...

HI Glenn!

tbc said...

Buh-bye Natalie

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Glenn!

Petals said...

She played the black card to a black person! WHAT?!?!

Nickelpeed said...

I don't like Jeremy, either.

Petals said...

warming to Jeremy after his Natalie response, LOL

monty924 said...

I knew it

Petals said...

Yeah, Cirie was "harmless"!

Nickelpeed said...

I agree with her. They need to get Jeremy out before it's too late.

Joe in NY said...

Why is the MMA fighter a "David"?

Nickelpeed said...

If he knew Jeremy got in to his backpack, he'd change his mind.

tbc said...

Wow

Nickelpeed said...

If she keeps this up, she will be gone. No blindside needed.

jennifer said...

Uh-oh.... Natalie is getting super sassy!

monty924 said...

Good question, Joe!!

jennifer said...

Maybe she was insecure or bullied as a child?

Jackie S. said...

From what Jeff said pre-season, many of the Davids might be considered as Goliaths, but they classified themselves as Davids due to obstacles in their lives.

Joe in NY said...

Natalie is probably the most abrasive person ever on Survivor. Colton was close sometimes, but usually only when stress was applied. Natalie has been abrasive even when they were winning everything.

I know I"m a glutton, but I kind of need her to stick around for a while just for the drama. LOL.

She also stands out like a sore thumb. This does seem like a pretty happy, easy-going group.

Nickelpeed said...

I still say Natalie is the way she is because of when she grew up. I know she's bossy, but really, she grew up in the 60's. That was not a great time for Blacks. She's 57 and he's 40. She's endured a lot more than Jeremy. She's probably had to claw her way to the top. It doesn't excuse her bad attitude, but she's endured a heck of a lot more than Jeremy. JMO

Nickelpeed said...

I want a blindside with Jeremy. I know they need the strength, but he's abrasive, too.

jennifer said...

Jeremy!

jennifer said...

Break these two up! Whose going home?

Nickelpeed said...

Keep on talking Jeremy. Just keep it up.

monty924 said...

Loved the Jeremy eye roll :)))

tbc said...

Jeremy’s eyeroll is hysterical

Nickelpeed said...

The eye rolls...Jeremy. LOL Come on Dan...Jeremy went through your bag!!

monty924 said...

I like John

tbc said...

It could go either way

Nickelpeed said...

It will probably be Natalie. But Jeremy will just find someone else to badger.

jennifer said...

Natalie napalm Jeremy’s eyeroll

Nickelpeed said...

John's my pool guy. LOL

Petals said...

I don't care about Natalie's circumstances or upbringing. No one else gets a break because of their past(s). She is a RAG and makes my eyes hurt.

Petals said...

that smug b****

sickening.

Ed in Ohio said...

You called it Monty!

monty924 said...

He wasn't going to last anyway. Boooo!! Now I can root for John!

tbc said...

They have to cut Natalie lose next time..

Glenn Allen said...

A Jermey Blindside.

jennifer said...

Have a great week everyone. Be blessed!

Nickelpeed said...

That was a blindside! I know he didn't expect that.

I understand, Petals, I was just giving my view why she's abrasive. If she keeps her abrasiveness up, she'll be next.

tbc said...

Loose

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. Greatly appreciate it. Will see everyone next week!!

Stay safe for all who are in the line of the Hurricane!

Ed in Ohio said...

G'Nite All!

Thanks Jackie!

Homie I know it's Minnesota...….but GO BUCKS!

& All the best to everyone affected by Hurricane Michael

Petals said...

Oh I know Penny...wasn't arguing your point, because sometimes a person's past does play a mess on their personalities. But not her's. She is a smug, entitled player IMO

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

monty924 said...

Well, Andi, Jackie and PDX Granny - we're out of it. Rooting for John now. I still like the Goliath's. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

Thanks again Jackie for giving us the hang out! Have a great weekend everyone.

Petals said...

Thank you Jackie!!

monty924 said...

Ed - GO BUCKS!!!

Judi Sweeney said...

Yup.... Jeremy did himself in definitely! But, Natalie is hard to handle!

Judi Sweeney said...

Thank you Jackie!

Auntie Leigh said...

I am glad the preview showed a "drop your buff" moment because I don't think the David vs Goliath idea has panned out. Goliath is too big and strong as well as lots of likeables and a couple of irritants...I think the entire David tribe should go home except for the robot-guy and maybe a couple of others...plus, the weather is just too awful. They can't fish. They can't look for an idol or chat casually or even make a fire.
Sorry to hear Jackie has ended up needing a knee brace. Bummer. And still marveling at Glenn Allen "riding out" the hurricane in a town hit by the eye and he is now in the path of this latest storm/hurricane. Pretty amazing. See you all next week..late as usual.
