Survivor: David vs. Goliath - October 24 Blog Party


My technical woes are over! As the show airs tonight, 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!

This week we have the three new tribes formed last week. With only five on a tribe, I can't picture this going on much longer. They'll have to re-align to two tribes or merge. Five isn't really a good number for tribes!

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!) -- she was kind enough to search out the new tribe names and get it all set up:

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
Natalie - Brenda, ITCHY, Nora
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


Survivor fans ready?

Of course, we start off with the recap of last week. Fifteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Kara is so ticked off at Alec for blindsiding Natalia last week and betraying their alliance. Now they're the only tribe which is David dominant.

It's storming once again there. Perhaps they should have built arks instead of shelters. One of the camps has a river running through it.

Tree Mail -- they're being evacuated due to the impending cyclone. 

When they return, all three of the camps are destroyed. They need to rebuild.

But Reward Challenge waits for no one. It's actually sunny out. Poles to knock sandbags out of nest, giant slingshots to targets. Reward is four egg-laying hens and a rooster. Second place winner gets a dozen eggs.

Vuku wins first place! Jabeni gets second place!

Kara turns on Alec, throwing him under the bus to Alec and Elizabeth. Elizabeth thinks she personally might be better allying with Alec rather than Kara. 

Hmm ... Angelina is a vegetarian and her mainstay food at home is eggs? Isn't that considered an animal? Hmm. Natalie continues to irk others. She wants to cook all the eggs at once even though Lyrsa who has a culinary degree thinks they'll last longer if not cooked.

Dan and John accept Christian. However, they think Gabby should go. Dan is looking around for an idol. He finds a clue to it -- it will be hidden at the next Immunity Challenge and tells him right where it is. But it might be hard to get without being noticed. 

Time for the Immunity Challenge! They have them climbing, lifting ladders, raising and going over a bridge and more -- very physical. Dan got his idol and it didn't look like anyone saw him.

Vuku wins first, then Tiva. It will be Jabeni going to Tribal tonight. Will Natalie be the target? She once again kept lagging in both Reward and Immunity challenges and irking others. But the tribe has three Goliaths (including Natalie) and only two Davids. Will the original tribe lines keep her in? Hmm. 

Natalie tells us they're debating between the two Davids -- Lyrsa or Nick. Angelina thinks Lyrsa. Natalie is trying to bully Nick to giving or leaving his jacket. Since Angelina has no jacket, they want to force the others to give up theirs. Mike wants Natalie out himself. He wants to get Angelina on board with it. Angelina is getting pressured from all sides. 

Tribal Council and Jeff's Probsting questions start out with Goliath/David numbers. Angelina mentions the overall Goliath and David numbers. Natalie thinks she's never the center of drama except on Tribal. She starts going on about the eggs. Ooo ... Mike and Angelina both speak up about issues with Natalie at camp. Now they're onto the jacket bit. Time to vote.

The tally --
Natalie, Lyrsa, Natalie, Lyrsa, Natalie

They did it! Mike flipped and Natalie's gone. Angelina asks Natalie for her jacket and Natalie totally ignores the request.

Hi Jackie and everyone that follows. Did anyone see what I posted about Brett and Tylers Bold and Beautiful appearance today? I will probably pull for John the Wrestler now that my poolgirl is out.

Glenn Allen said...

Tyler and Brett were on the Bold and Beautiful today. The doorman told the Lady in the house expect the unexpected for the guests. Then the Lady told Tyler and Brett she was trying to step it up. Brett said her donation put them Two steps ahead and the security guard said that security was now at Level 6. Tyler and Brett were smiling at that line.

Glenn Allen said...

Natalie causing trouble again. What was it with Natalia and Natalie this season being bossy!

Joe in NY said...

Vegans don't eat eggs but vegetarians often do.

Petals said...

Hi Rochelle!

Rockwrites said...

Way too cold here Petals. We got cheated of an Indian Summer, and most of my tomatoes, raspberries and green peppers which were still on the vine got frozen the other night. :(

Joe in NY said...

Thank God for Natalie...the gift that keeps on giving.

I would really like to meet her family.

Petals said...

You guys - next time we blog...wait, that is Halloween! I'll be in my new, lil apartment. Can't hand-out candy...not sure what I'll be doing. Hmm. But I WILL be celebrating being AT PEACE.

tbc said...

I didn’t realize. Do you remember which season?

Petals said...

Joe - she ate them.

monty924 said...

Sorry, Penny... I missed your question. YEs, the evacuated on that season too.

jennifer said...

Christian is so bonding with the guys!!

Petals said...

Rochelle we haven't had a decent Autumn in a few years.

Petals said...

John the Wrestler looks photoshopped. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Rochelle and Joe.

tbc said...

For your birthday!

Petals said...

Yes, Teeb. My birthday present to myself. OH! And my "real" present to myself is advance tix to Bohemian Rhapsody on 11/1. Whooooo

Petals said...

Joe will come visit, too, woncha Joe? LOL I'll cook!

jennifer said...

Petals, you"re correct! I will be hiding in my basement from the transfers into my neighborhood! If I bought candy, I would be broke!
I'm happy you will be at peace in your new place!

jennifer said...



this looks difficult with the snake!

jennifer said...

wow purple is slow

Nickelpeed said...

Gabby has been a rockstar for her group.

Ed in Ohio said...

Jeff with the never ending commentary!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Rochelle. Does the guy go for the Hidden immunity idol that is hidden?

Jenna G said...

I'm so sad, I won't be joining you guys next Wednesday. Got several parents coming over so their kids can trick or treat in a neighborhood as they live in rural areas. I'll miss everyone!

jennifer said...

that was sneaky into his pants!!

Nickelpeed said...

Let's see if he ever has to use his idols. Or be voted out without using them.

Glenn Allen said...

He did get his second Idol. John dropped . Christian the games guy catching up.

jennifer said...


christian has some BLUE eyes!

Petals said...

Awww - sounds fun, Jenna. DO you guys ever drive past Johnny Dare's place?

monty924 said...

Yay!! John's tribe is safe

jennifer said...

Natalie needs to gooooooo

Petals said...

Can we PLEASE send that wildebeest home????????

Petals said...

my pool chick is still in it, Lyrsa. I hope she balls-up and rallies the troup against that wildebeest.

tbc said...

Good competition!!

jennifer said...

Petals, Im with you! The hubs can't believe she is still in lol

Jenna G said...

So glad to hear you'll be settled. No where is he?

Glenn Allen said...

Can a idol be played and then the cancellation of the idol then be cancelled if he plays his second idol?

Joe in NY said...

Yes, Petals. I'll be there...in my invisible man costume.

tbc said...

Yeah, Natalie needed to go awhile ago...

Jenna G said...

Good question!

Petals said...

bwhahhaa Joe. you don't fool me, Claude Raines.

monty924 said...

I would think so, Glenn.

Petals said...

Jenna, his place is in SHawnee. You have to know people, "friends of friends" type of thing. My friend knows where it is. If you're interested, I can get the address. It's supposed to be a "thing" in KC, you know? LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Thus was my post from earlier about Tyler and Brett today on Bold and Beautiful. I know a lot of people came in after the post,

Tyler and Brett were on the Bold and Beautiful today. The doorman told the Lady in the house expect the unexpected for the guests. Then the Lady told Tyler and Brett she was trying to step it up. Brett said her donation put them Two steps ahead and the security guard said that security was now at Level 6. Tyler and Brett were smiling at that line.

Petals said...

Rochelle, are you still in Texas?

Jenna G said...

I'm definitely on the Natalie's got to go train!

Nickelpeed said...

Can't he use both idols? Jackie?

jennifer said...

Petals / Jenna....
Who is in Shawnee??

Nickelpeed said...

I can't believe they want to keep Natalie. And, she wants to take her jacket??? What terrible people.

jennifer said...

Natalie IS a bully!!

Petals said...

wow - NASTALIE is disgusting. She behaves almost like a plant. No Survivor contestant is ever this lazy, mean...

Jenna G said...

Man, they need to flip Mike

Nickelpeed said...

Angelina is almost as bad as Natalie.

Nickelpeed said...

She's horrible! Angelina still wants Lyrsa's jacket. Where did Natalie get a jacket? Did she bring it with her?

Jenna G said...

Hummmm this should be interesting...

tbc said...

Having trouble with blogger... grrr

Glenn Allen said...

Natalie has got to go. Why do they think they can steal someones jacket?

monty924 said...

Natalie is the obvious which makes me believe it will be Lyrsa

Nickelpeed said...

If Lrysa gets voted off, I definitely will NOT leave my jacket for anyone.

Nickelpeed said...

If Lrysa leaves, poor Nick.

Jackie S. said...

Penny - They can use as many idols as they find or give them away to someone.

jennifer said...

oh no!!!

Nickelpeed said...

I don't believe that for one second.

Nickelpeed said...

Thanks Jackie.

tbc said...

Love lyrsa face on that drama comment

Rockwrites said...

Agree about Angelina being almost as bad as Natalie Nickelpeed

Jenna G said...

Sounds neat! Not going out for Halloween this year. If we go out next year I'd like to check it out.

jennifer said...

Angelina scares me... seems like she is on a rope!

Rockwrites said...

Take it back - apparently they have no issues?!

Petals said...

yeeps - where is this Tribal going?

Jenna G said...

Petals says Johnny Dare lives there and does a Halloween thing. My hubby is a big Johnny Dare fan.

Nickelpeed said...

With eggs, it doesn't matter if they're fresh or taken out of the refrigerator, they are going to spoil fast. If you put them in the refrigerator, then take them out, they have to be used within a couple of hours. If they come from the coop, if they are not refrigerated, they'll also spoil in a couple of hours. They have to be stored in a cool place.

Nickelpeed said...

She's a horrible person. So is Angelina

jennifer said...

if it is my girl, she best have her jacket with her

Petals said...

agree Penny

Rockwrites said...

Tick tick tick

jennifer said...

im so nervous!

Nickelpeed said...

I agree Jennifer.

Petals said...

who thought a Member's Only jacket would matter so much now?

Rockwrites said...

WOW!

Petals said...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs


Ding Dong that WITCH IS DEAD!

jennifer said...

cheers in my house!

Jenna G said...

Yaaaaaaayyyy!!! Bye B!+@#!!!

Nickelpeed said...

YES!!! YES!!! YESSSSSSSS~~~~!!!

Petals said...

why does that Ang chick care so much about Natalie?

"...Natalie..?"


"Natalie?"


wtf!

Rockwrites said...

Wow, I am surprised that Natalie would not give her jacket after all that support and a hug?

jennifer said...

wow! angelina should rethink her views on people / life

have a great week everyone!!

monty924 said...

The week of the jacket, LOL
I don't blame Natalie. I wouldn't leave my jacket after being voted out. @@

Ed in Ohio said...

No jacket for YOU!!

tbc said...

She’s begging for that jacket...

Glenn Allen said...

Natalie wasn't willing to give up her jacket after being voted out.

Rockwrites said...

I will enjoy watching more now for sure.

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you for hosting us Jackie. It is greatly appreciated.

See everyone next week. Have a great week.

Ed in Ohio said...

G'Nite All!

Thanks Jackie!

jennifer said...

Natalie showed her TRUE colors

Rockwrites said...

But monty, not giving it to the the one person who seemed to stick up for you? did I miss that that speech that it was out of love and well intentioned all BS?

Rockwrites said...

So true Jennifer!
Nite Ed

monty924 said...

Thanks, Jackie. See all you next week and have a good weekend!!

tbc said...

Natalie, can I have your jacket... Natalie, Natalie...

Nickelpeed said...

I thought Angelina had never liked Natalie. What changed her? LOL

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

Jenna G said...

Thanks Jackie! Nite all...I'll be back week after next. Have a great holiday. Petals enjoy your well deserved peace.

tbc said...

Her potential jacket

Petals said...

Thank you Jackie!!!

Love you guys!

tbc said...

Thank you for all you do, Jackie!!

Terry is a Texan! said...

Got to say it. When Angelina asked for her jacket and she ignored her plea TWICE and also she wanted “someone” to steal Lyrsas. She lost total respect. If I worked for her I would be the happiest she was gone off to play Survivor.

SusanS. said...

Opinion of Angelina just went way down. Asking someone else to steal a jacket for you still makes you a thief. And THEN saying Natalie was doing it out of love was a total lie.
Glad Natalie is gone but hope Angelina is next.
