Survivor: David vs. Goliath - Halloween Show Blog Party


Since it's Halloween, I'm not sure how many will make it tonight. Nevertheless, I'll be live-blogging the events -- refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Feel free to join in!

I put up a cheat sheet with names and images at this link

Here's the blog pool news from Lifeguard Laurie herself (she rocks!)

Vuku Tribe
Kara - David, Karen in CA, Sharon N
Alec - Carol C, Jean, Rbennie
Elizabeth - Dennis Comfort, marthalight, Skyriverblue
Davie - CherryPie, KelseyNY, Robin Allard
Carl - DonnaNY, MikesGirl, tbc, Delee

Jabeni Tribe
Angelina - Donna in FL, Margo, Vicki Volk
Lyrsa - Buzzmaam, jennifer, Petals
Mike - Ed in Ohio, meb, Tammy
Nick - Brian, Jennasmom, Paula Bell, Silk

Tiva Tribe
Christian - ChicMc, Judi Sweeney, Sharon C
John - Bizaro22, Indiana Jane, Nickelpeed
Gabby - Cheryl in NC, Krysta Gibson, Rochelle
Alison - Cher C, Jenna G, Renee
Dan - Donna in Alabama, Laurie Miles, SueGee, Marlo Lee

Out
Pat -  Team members moved to other teams
Jessica - Dr_Celine, ML, Terry is a Texan
Jeremy - Andi l, Jackie, monty924, PDX Granny
Natalia - Glenn Allen, Merrilee, TS14Fan
Bi - Auntie Leigh, Janice, nana in the nw

Natalie - Brenda, ITCHY, Nora

Survivor fans ready? Recap, recap. "Natalie, can I have your jacket?" Natalie? Natalie? Fourteen are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Jabeni is all happy about Natalie being gone. But now Lyrsa is questioning Angelina because she said she wrote her name hoping Natalie would give her the jacket. The other three are giggling about the jacket fiasco and Angelina. Now we know who will be their next target. That said, things are much calmer in their camp without Natalie.

On Tiva, Christian is describing his fishing preparation and technique. He claims not to be a food-seeking missile. The tribe will starve if they depend on him.

Reward Challenge time -- person attached to heavy bag of coconuts, carry the person, retrieve four rings, land rings on target. Cooking equipment and kebabs. Second prize two kebabs. 

Tiva wins first place! Jabeni won second place. 

On Tivam=, there's a lot of male bonding going on with the brochachos. Christian is mixing in with Dan and John. He's in a new world. Gabby is feeling (and being) neglected. She's trying to bond with Alison. She feels she's losing Christian. She's being a bit needy and the tears come. Alison's empathy comes into play and she has developed a soft spot. She tells Gabby she's becoming more interested in who can be trusted rather than the original David/Goliath tribe lines.

On Vuku, due to back issues, Elizabeth wants to redo the shelter floor. She works with Kara to make it a better place. Carl and Davie think they're starting too late. That puts a bug in Elizabeth's bonnet -- well, cowboy hat. Now Carl thinks Elizabeth needs to go while Kara feels relieved that the original Davids are turning on each other. The tribe is the only David heavy one.

Immunity time -- carry large saucer, fill well with water, puzzle pieces drop, puzzle.Tiva wins Immunity! Vuku wins second place. Once again, Jabeni goes to Tribal tonight.

Back at the camp, Lyrsa turned off Angelina by saying she would stick with Nick and it might be a tie. They want each other out. They're both working on the two guys. Neither Nick nor Mike seem to be in the cross hairs. Mike seems to actually like Lyrsa better, but he thinks the vote is pivotal as right now the tribe and the whole show is even numbers from the original tribes. Nick tries to work on Mike. He's in a quandary.

He needs to make up his mind because it's time for Tribal Council. Of course, Jeff and his Probsting questions hit the core of the issue -- he asks if original tribe loyalty is more important than trust. Angelina is making it clear without coming out and saying it that Lyrsa is the least worthy of saving of the four. Naturally, Lyrsa and Angelina vote for each other.

The tally --
Lyrsa, Angelina, Lyrsa, Lyrsa.

Lyrsa got the boot -- a combination of the David/Goliath issues plus Lyrsa's often poor performance in challenges. I think both Mike and Nick actually LIKED and trusted Lyrsa more than they did Angelina. 

Next week is the merge.

Watching the fishing tutorial.... hilarious!

Feasting!

Nickelpeed said...

I always get a good laugh when they have the Flipper race at the Dayton Dragons. Many do not run well. The ones who succeed step high.

Hi Monty and Jennifer

monty924 said...

Two kabobs for four/five people

jennifer said...

What is going on with my purple girlie?!?

monty924 said...

I bet, Penny. A Flipper race sounds hysterical :)))

Nickelpeed said...

Lyrsa is so bad. There's not comparison to them and the other tribes.

Nickelpeed said...

ooops, no comparison.

monty924 said...

The four won the two kabobs, LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Holy COW! They came from behind. WOW.

tbc said...

Stopping in to say hello all and drop off some Halloween cupcakes and two bottles of wine, one Pinot Grigio and one riesling

Happy Halloween all!!

Happy Birthday, Petals!!

I’m not staying as I’ve been sick in bed all day. Enjoy the night❤️

jennifer said...

Get well soon!!

jennifer said...

Happy Birthday Petals!!

Nickelpeed said...

I don't understand that....Natalie was a nightmare. Why would you not be happy to vote her off. At least the had the cajones to do it. However, I guess people were thinking numbers and she would be a great one to take to the end.

Petals said...

TRICK or TREAT SPLASH!!!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Hi tbc! Cupcakes and wine sound great!!

monty924 said...

Thanks, tbc. Hope you feel better soon!!

Petals said...

Sorry your sick, Teeb. Do you need a cone, too? lol.

Petals said...

our first Halloween and first Blog Pool Party in the new place. No TV until tomorrow. *sigh*

monty924 said...

I like Christian, but I'm still rooting for John :)))

monty924 said...

Yay... the birthday girl made it!!!

Petals said...

Monty, I am worn out! I almost forgot it was a Wednesday!

Petals said...

Thank you, the Cake is YUM! Just what I needed, too!

Nickelpeed said...

OMGosh! It would be epic if they get Dan out with 2 idols. But will he be smart to catch on if they lose the challenge?

Nickelpeed said...

Are the boys lazy or what?

Nickelpeed said...

Petals, how do you like your new apartment???

jennifer said...

That was a creepy irritated face!

Nickelpeed said...

Uh oh, she could be burying her own grave.

Petals said...

Penny - place is nice. This is my 3rd night. Sebastian still is not acclimated. Gretchen will come Friday, hopefully they can chill together. Quiet neighbors...one has purple hair! (millenials!)

jennifer said...

Conflict! I don’t do well with that!

monty924 said...

Happy that you made it to the party. A birthday party isn't a party without the birthday girl. :)) How are you doing in the new apartment... other than being worn out?

Petals said...

my work friends gave me a care package: cleaning products, paper towels, spices, condiments, etc. That was super nice. Each day/night will get easier.

Tomorrow is the best thing ever, tho: Advanced Screening to see.. Bohemian Rhapsody!!!!!!!

monty924 said...

That's a big puzzle

jennifer said...

Is this worse that Big Brothers slip and slide liquid fill up??

jennifer said...

So lucky!!!

monty924 said...

That's awesome, Petals. I always heard you need to new box of salt when you move.

I love this challenge

Sharon N said...

Hi Jackie, Penny, Monty, Petals, TBC, and Jennifer. ;)
Just a quick pop-in to say Happy Halloween.
Stay in the pool, eat cake and stay safe!

Can't believe my pool girl (Kara) is still there.. my people are usually long-gone! lol

Petals said...

I need a vacuum!

jennifer said...

My poor purple people eaters!

monty924 said...

WOW

Petals said...

Since I can't see, I've forgotten who I like. I like the older black guy, and the younger one (Jeremy?). And the geeky chick. I can't think of any of the rest.

Nickelpeed said...

Crap. Pretty bad. The four could lose it again.

monty924 said...

Aw man... how sad

Nickelpeed said...

Another TC. Just what they needed.

monty924 said...

Merge has to be coming next week

Nickelpeed said...

Oh Jeff, just shut up!!!! Grrrrrr

Nickelpeed said...

I agree, Monty.

jennifer said...

Well well well, David or Goliath. Which will come out on top at this tribal?

monty924 said...

I like Gabby too, Petals. The geeky chick :))

Petals said...

Is Joe here?

Jackie S. said...

Petals - Happy birthday and you liked Jeremy then hated him, he's been gone a few weeks. I think the young one you liked may be Davie.

Petals said...

Thank you & thank you Jackie!!!

Are any chickens still alive? hehe

monty924 said...

They haven't shown them eating any of the chickens, yet!

jennifer said...

Angelina blind side would be FUN!

Nickelpeed said...

Don't do it Nick. Force a tie.

Petals said...

Remember the baby goat controversy from a few seasons back? Yeeps

Nickelpeed said...

Seeing Angelina's face would be great.

jennifer said...

Come on Mike!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Don't think he's on your side, Nick!

monty924 said...

Draw rocks!!!

Nickelpeed said...

That would be terrible, but it might lead to that, Monty. I hate the rocks. But there is 2/2. Neither will change their minds.

monty924 said...

I think Lyrsa might go

jennifer said...

I’m an optimist, hopefully Mike flips over!

monty924 said...

the edit is making it look like Angelina, so that's why I'm guessing Lyrsa

jennifer said...

Aren’t they all nice.... no picking sides out loud!

Nickelpeed said...

Are they going to force a tie? Yikes.

monty924 said...

Nick went his bro

Nickelpeed said...

Nick!!! They played you!!!

monty924 said...

*with his bro

jennifer said...

Welp, I need a towel to dry off getting out of the pool. My girl is done.

jennifer said...

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Nickelpeed said...

Nick made a mistake. All this was, was to keep Goliath strong. :::SIGH:::

Thank you for hosting us, Jackie. It's greatly appreciated.

monty924 said...

Jennifer, you can join me in the losers lounge, LOL

jennifer said...

We will make a party of it!

monty924 said...

Woot woot :)))

Yay! The merge is next!

Thanks Jackie. Petals enjoy the rest of your evening. Night all


Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

Glenn Allen said...

Happy Late Birthday Petals!

cctru said...

Wonder if David/Goliath will re-divide with the merge, or if enough mini-alliances will stop that from happening.
(each week I'm frustrated because I have to wait 3 hours later than the rest of you to watch!)
