Survivor fans ready? Thirteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Oh my! The other two tribes arrive by boat at Tiva. And, there is a feast to be had. It's time for the merge.

John, although he grew close to Christian, thinks that the old David/Goliath tribal lines. Gabby is thinking there should be an idol, but doesn't see one. Angelina is leery of Alec since she found out he flipped in the Natalia vote. Carl is fueling the "take out a David" Goliath theory by bad-mouthing Elizabeth. Dan tells Kara that he found a second idol. He's smitten, y'know. 

Angelina thinks they should aim for the stronger Davids -- Christian is one she considers a threat. Meanwhile, Christian remains a shaky bond with his two Goliath bros --John and Dan. John seems more cut-throat. Dan seems more willing to forget some of the original tribal bonds. Christian rekindled his alliance with Nick, too. This is getting complex!

Dan and Kara are getting a bit too careless with their relationship. It's putting a target on their backs. Mike, Alec and Alison decide they can work together. Mike would like to bring Nick into their group. Alec works on getting both Gabby and Christian in with them. Christian calls it a Counter-Goliath Surgency -- a Strike Force. He thinks they just might be able to rule the game.

Elizabeth wants to pull in Alec into her little group. She doesn't know that the group he's already in thinks of her as a sacrificial lamb. He doesn't tell her and decides he can play double agent for a while.

Dan is irked that his name is being brought up. Heck, he has two idols and no worries!

Time for the first individual Immunity Challenge! Swing a pendulum around a frame. If they knock the statue in the middle down, they're out. If they fall, they're out. If the pendulum stops moving, out.

Mike is out first. Christian is out. Both lost momentum. Carl out. Gabby out. Kara out. Nick out. 

Next phase has them switching hands live while in the challenge. Davie, Angelina, Alec out. John out. 

Dan out. It's Alison and Elizabeth still in the running. 

ALISON wins the first individual immunity! 

Angelina is pushing the Out Christian agenda. Hey, I find him very entertaining. I want him to stay! Dan feels torn -- he would like Elizabeth out. Now Gabby is rethinking her thoughts of Elizabeth being a sacrificial lamb. She would prefer a Goliath go. Alec doesn't want his Strike Force or his friends on David to think he's betraying them. He does NOT want Christian out. 

Dan tells Angelina they don't want Christian out. Now she's mad. She thinks he was condescending. He told her they need chaos out. Hmm. Chaos, is your name Angelina? Heh. Angelina runs to Elizabeth telling her that they've got her name out there -- Elizabeth's name, that is. Gabby is reinforced with the idea of getting Angelina out.

Tribal Council time. Elizabeth tells them all that Angelina told her she was the target. Uh-oh. That has Angelina stuttering. Ohh ... raised voices. Ohh ... whispering. Oops. Gabby is in tears. More whispering. Angelina is saying she was just trying to be a loving person. Elizabeth is pushing the Goliath has fractures agenda. We know Elizabeth will vote Angelina and vice versa.

The tally:
Angelina, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth ...

Elizabeth is gone. It was unanimous with the exception of Elizabeth's vote.

jennifer said...

It’s a good letter lol

Jenna G said...

Hi Ed!

jennifer said...

Alec is getting pretty confident.... sometimes that’s a handicap!

tbc said...

Hi all!!

Jenna G said...

Hi tbc!

Glenn Allen said...

I was about to say the same thing about Alec. You don't stat trouble as soon as the merge happens. It seems like you would wait til after a reward challenge or immunity challenge before trying to see who to get out.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi tbc!

Jenna G said...

I'm liking this group coming together

tbc said...

I brought gluten free apple crisp. I promise it’s delish!!
Of course, wine...

monty924 said...

Hi everyone... I'm late but I brought Sloppy Joes and waffle cut fries

Jenna G said...

Strike Force! Man he's great T.V! Love his commentaries.

Ed in Ohio said...

Strike Force of 6. 3 Davids & 3 Goliaths. Interesting!

Jenna G said...

Hi Monty!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hey Homie!

monty924 said...

Hey, Jenna.

monty924 said...

Hey Homie... what has happened to our Buckeyes?

jennifer said...

Did Ken and Barbie just break up

tbc said...

Hi, Monty!

Jenna G said...

We're getting our first snow here in KC. They're saying 3 inches tomorrow. Just enough to mess everything up, but not enough to shut anything down.

monty924 said...

Hi tbc! I've missed the entire merge thing. I'll have to go back and watch from the beginning, but not until after the show. :)))

Ed in Ohio said...

Monty they sure don't look the same Buckeyes. Not clicking on all cylinders...….at least not yet.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Monty! Dan is acting paranoid!

jennifer said...

When did the forecast change to 3?? I missed that one . Not a fan of snow...ugh!

monty924 said...

I know the cold weather is headed my way too! UGH
I've enjoyed this fall and not looking forward to winter.

Ed in Ohio said...

No to the Snow!!

monty924 said...

Love the challenges this season, but I say that every year. Survivor does it right!!

jennifer said...

Challenge looks challenging!

Jenna G said...

Hubby said that's what radio said on his way home from work. I haven't seen local news yet. Will watch here at 9.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi everyone!!! I'm just getting off from work. Can't talk, will be driving soon. Will catch up later!

tbc said...

Love this challenge!

Jenna G said...

Hi Penny!

Jenna G said...

I like seeing a new challenge. Seems easy and hard.

Ed in Ohio said...

Switch hands?? I'd be in trouble. I'm so right hand dominant!!

monty924 said...

Same here, Ed. I can't do squat with my left hand.

jennifer said...

Watch, Elizabeth will win , then who will they vote out?

tbc said...

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

jennifer said...

Good job!

monty924 said...

Famous last words. I say a Goliath goes, LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny! Since my pool person is out I am pulling for John the Wrestler>

jennifer said...

I haven’t decided yet who to cheer for since Lyrsa got the boot!

monty924 said...

Jennifer, I'm rooting for John since I'm out of the pool :)))

monty924 said...

Me too, Glenn!!!

jennifer said...

Just saw the “snow” on the map during commercial.... so cold!

jennifer said...

Angelina is ruthless lol

monty924 said...

Angelina is too pushy

Jenna G said...

Yep just checked..they're saying 1 to 3+ inches. So not much.

jennifer said...

Rise up Gabby!!!

Jenna G said...

Angelina is targeting Christian. Not liking her right now, but I do like an aggressive player if they do it right. Her kind of aggressive isn't my favorite. Like Monty said, to pushy.

Nickelpeed said...

John the wrestler is keeping a low profile, which is good!

Ed in Ohio said...

Angelina is & has been too aggressive. Maybe she'll join Natalie.

tbc said...

She needs a jacket, that’s why she’s is crying

jennifer said...

Angelina is sneaky!!

monty924 said...

Yeah, Go Gabby

jennifer said...

Voting Angelina would be a great blindside of Karma lololol

Jenna G said...

I hope it's Angelina tonight.

jennifer said...

Lol

Glenn Allen said...

That is very true. I remember seeing John wrestle when he was in the WWE and he was more flamboyant. He is being smart toning things down in the game, Angelina was crazy telling Elizabeth about the plan.

Jenna G said...

This tribal should be good!

Jenna G said...

Here we go!

jennifer said...

Wow! Elizabeth!!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Bam!!

jennifer said...

This tribal!!

jennifer said...

Shovel... dig deep Angelina! Wow

Jenna G said...

Go Gabby!

tbc said...

Authentic

Ed in Ohio said...

Too many players for tribe vs tribe strategy.

monty924 said...

All Angelina's fault for telling Elizabeth in the first place

monty924 said...

Hmm, didn't work

jennifer said...

Wow!!!! Gonna be interesting back at camp!!

Jenna G said...

Dang! That sucks! Atleast she went down swinging.

tbc said...

I had high hopes that all the whispering was to get Angelina out...

jennifer said...

Have a great safe week everyone!
Thank you Jackie for hosting another great evening!!

monty924 said...

It was smart for Goliath to keep the numbers, but seeing a not so blindside would have been fun. :)))

Jenna G said...

Goodnight Jackie thanks for all that you do for us! Have a great week everyone!

monty924 said...

And... Gabby needs to stop crying

Ed in Ohio said...

G'nite All!

Thanks Jackie!

tbc said...

Petals says hi to everyone!

jennifer said...

Hi Petals!!

Glenn Allen said...

Elizabeth voted out. For some Big Brother news the Facebook Group I am in for Tangela fans has Tylers Mom and now Angelas mom in the group. She said that Angela is still a little overwhelmed but grateful for the fan support. She said that They want to travel soon.

monty924 said...

Thanks, Jackie. Everyone, have a great weekend and will see you all next week.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Petals!
Tangela really thought America hated them while they were in the house.

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

tbc said...

Thanks for hosting!!
Thanks for a fun night all!!

Nickelpeed said...

I'm back home, went shopping. If David's had stayed together and brought Alec in, they could have had a good chance. But, no. They're eating each other one after another. I mean, really, the Goliath get mad because Natalie was voted off. They think getting rid of a mean person is too emotional.

Yet, on the other hand, you look at the David and they do not care if they vote their own off. I wonder if they even think about being voted off one by one now? That's what will happen. It's sucks. They just cannot look at the overall picture. They think the Goliath will work with them. Sad, but silly, silly people.

Nickelpeed said...

The other thing I noticed; and the women are clueless. Didn't they catch on to the fact that the men did not want to vote off Christian because he was a bro? They need to start thinking or every one of the women will be voted off, even their own teammates. If the Davids do it, the Goliath's most certainly will, too.
