Survivor: David vs. Goliath - December 5 Blog Party


As the show airs here on the East Coast, 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!

Only three episodes left! We're getting down to the wire here.

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!) 

Alison - Cher C, Jenna G, Renee
Angelina - Donna in FL, Margo, Vicki Volk
Christian - ChicMc, Judi Sweeney, Sharon C
Davie - CherryPie, KelseyNY, Robin Allard
Gabby - Cheryl in NC, Krysta Gibson, Rochelle
Kara - David, Karen in CA, Sharon N
Mike - Ed in Ohio, meb, Tammy
Nick - Brian, Jennasmom, Paula Bell, Silk

Jury:
Elizabeth

John
Dan
Alec
Carl

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


Nick isn't happy that Gabby and Christian voted out Carl, a David. He thinks that now the Goliaths will go after the remaining Davids. He says he won't hesitate at the chance to blindside Christian now. On noes!

Okay, the Reward Challenge starts out with the loved ones sappy reunions. Of course, they haven't seen these people in 100 years! 

Race through water and obstacles in pairs, dig in sand for keys, unlock balls, each has to land a ball to win. Angelina and Nick win it!

They can choose one other  ... Davie. One more ... Mike. 

Angelina thinks the four on Reward should be the Final Four. Davie is uncomfortable with the alliance. 

Back on the island, Gabby thinks Christian acted like he was comforting his girlfriend. She doesn't want that to happen to her. It makes it look like she does nothing without him. She decides she needs respect and should go after her main ally. Of course, Kara is for the plan although shocked that Gabby is suggesting it.

Immunity Challenge time -- balance on narrow perch holding a pole connected to a bucket of water. 

Mike out first. Into the second phase which makes it more difficult, harder to hold the pole. Gabby out in the transition.

Alison out. Angelina out. 

Making it more difficult again, more pressure on the arm. 

Nick out. Christian out. It's down to Davie and Kara. A bug kept landing on Davie's face. Oops! He twitches due to the bug and he's out.

KARA wins Immunity! She likes Gabby's idea of getting Christian out. Uh-oh!

Gabby thinks she needs to make the big move to get rid of Christian. Christian meanwhile wants to vote out Alison. Gabby keeps rationalizing to us why she needs Christian out. I think it would be a bad move on her part. The shame of it is that so many others want Christian out. Nick is mad at him over the Carl thing. 

Davie isn't as convinced. He suggests Gabby as a back up as Christian has an idol. Davie tells Christian that Gabby's gunning for him. Christian is stunned. He thinks he needs to mend fences with Nick. Unfortunately, Nick isn't as keen on working with Christian as Christian thinks he is. Christian is reluctant to use his idol. Hmm. 

Tribal Council time. Jeff asks about the Carl blindside. Nick is vocal in the fact that Christian betrayed his trust. Nick claims that they made up. Gabby is asked about "big moves." She wants to do something with gumption. Hmm. 

Gabby does vote for Christian. No other votes shown as they're voting.

Christian tells Jeff he isn't sure, then plays the idol.

The tally:
Christian, Christian, Christian, Christian, Christian, Alison, Gabby, Gabby.

Yep, there's her big move -- Gabby got herself voted out!

Wow can you all belive the way those advantages were finally properly, beautifully used! Great TV!

jennifer said...

Hi Jackie! Hi everyone to follow!

Petals said...

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

Hi everyone! Hey Ms Jackie & Master Vincent!

Glad you're back Jenna, *waving*

jennifer said...

Family time and tears!

Petals said...

YAY! The sad, family episode. Glad I brought tissues (passing them around)

Petals said...

lol Jenn

monty924 said...

Hi Jackie, Jenna, Petals and Jennifer... I'm distracted tonight so probably won't comment too much. :))

Petals said...

Allison's earrings look uncomfortable; an odd choice for this adventure.

Jenna G said...

Thanks Petals, it was fun reading you all's comments. Oh it's the family challenge. So sappy...eye roll...lol, I say that now, but if I were out there I bet I'd cry my face off too. This game is so grueling!

Petals said...

Hey Monty. What else is going on?

Petals said...

He has fangs. He is White Fang!

Jenna G said...

Oh I've thought that too!

Petals said...

Gabby's mom is pretty.

jennifer said...

Petals, I thought Gabbys mom was pretty too... they just loose it because it’s someone that they totally trust and they have their back!!

Jenna G said...

Wait, he has a girlfriend? Oh shoot, I was hoping for a Gabby/Christian union. I must have missed him talking about a girlfriend. Sweet though.

monty924 said...

Work, Petals. Huge cut in my salary and it SUCKS... I'll leave it there, lol

Petals said...

was there no husband/wife this time? Did I miss one?

jennifer said...

Me too!!

tbc said...

Hi! Late to the party!!I have food and wine though!!

Petals said...

This challenge would FRUSTRATE the FRUSS outta me

Petals said...

hey Teeb!

tbc said...

Family is quite the motivator

Jenna G said...

Yep your right.

Petals said...

YAY! I like these couples that go to reward.

jennifer said...

Let the scheming begin back at camp!

Jenna G said...

Sorry to hear that Monty. That does suck, especially this time of year.

Jackie S. said...

I think all the married people got voted off!

Jenna G said...

Oh that make sense. Lol!

jennifer said...

Ok, schemings on the reward too!

Petals said...

Aww man, friend. Sorry.
And Urban is leaving?!?!
Double-suck

tbc said...

Nooooo not Christian

Jenna G said...

No Gabby!! Dang it...not yet!

jennifer said...

Gabby, not sure if this is the right time! Seems like there are still to many people for that move!

Pinky said...

Gabby is so jealous. Her crush on Christian was crushed when his girlfriend showed up.

jennifer said...

Agreed!

Jenna G said...

He is a threat, but doesn't she think that if he's gone she will follow. Players get super nervous when you make a move like that against your no. 1 to soon.

Jenna G said...

100%! Exactly what went through my mind.

jennifer said...

Well there is a 7 in 7 chance of getting wet!!

Jenna G said...

I would be surprised if this went long.

jennifer said...

Quick challenge?!?

tbc said...

Yay!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi everyone. Thank you Jackie for hosting us.

I'm just getting done at work, so I thought II'd stop in to say hi.

I fear Nick is right. Now I think the Goliaths will try to pick the David's off.

jennifer said...

Christian z!!

Petals said...

I think you're right Pinky!

jennifer said...

Shaky!

Jenna G said...

I sure didn't think it would even go this long. Seriously, try holding a 5 lb dumbbell up and out from your body like that...not easy!

jennifer said...

Davie!!

tbc said...

Kara looked like a statue

Petals said...

oh no. Christian is toast.

monty924 said...

Yes, double suck, Petals.

Yay, Kara. I don't think they'll get rid of Christian. The edit is always the tell...

jennifer said...

TBC and Petals... yes and yes

tbc said...

👍🏻 Jennifer

Jenna G said...

Gabby, Christian and Allison are my 4 favorites. Always has been. Super happy when they decided to work together and that's fallen apart over the last few weeks. Allison so wishy washy. Now Gabby turning on Christian. Dang it.

Jenna G said...

3 favorites, not 4

jennifer said...

Somebody let it slip!!

Petals said...

TAKE YOUR IDOL TO TRIBAL, Chris! 🔥

jennifer said...

Interesting!!!

Petals said...

I am not a Gabby fan. I like Dave, White Fang & Christian.

Petals said...

correct that: now I LOVE Dave, lol

Jenna G said...

Yay!! So glad he's telling him!

Jenna G said...

I'm on the Dave train and now Gabby is dead to me! Lol

Jenna G said...

No Mason/Dixon either...crap. Hope he realizes that's over.

Petals said...

^5 Jenna

PS - how 'bout them Chiefs?

jennifer said...

Dave!

Jackie S. said...

I assume Dave is Davie? Who the heck is White Fang?

Jenna G said...

Oh I know, so fun! That Hunt sure messed up his entire life. Stupid!

jennifer said...

Exactly!!

jennifer said...

Yep... he had everything!

Petals said...

Sorry Jackie. The guy with the dad in the lime green shirt. His teeth are blinding white and he has very pointy canines.

jennifer said...

Tribal!!!

jennifer said...

Nick!! Ha!!

Jenna G said...

Christian uses his idol. Gabby goes home. That's the way I feel they've edited it. We will see what happens.

Pinky said...

I hope you’re right Jenna

jennifer said...

Would be a jaw hanger for the group

Joe in NY said...

I have totally lost track of this season...1st time ever.

Hi folks!

Petals said...

JOE! (that was quick)

monty924 said...

Sounds right to me too, Jenna

jennifer said...

Hey Joe!

jennifer said...

Ha!

monty924 said...

Or Allison

Jenna G said...

I'm nervous! Play it!!

Petals said...

Has a black guy ever won? Davey is playing smart, I wouldn't mind a Dave/Christian.

YAY! An idol!

Nickelpeed said...

Oops, it did not go well for gabby. But now, David's are way down.

tbc said...

He evaluated their body language

Jenna G said...

Yesssssss!

jennifer said...

Davey/ Christian would be good

Jenna G said...

Bye Gabby!! You deserve it!!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, Petals. Earl won and last year Wendell.,

Petals said...

BEST TRIBAL!!!

Hilarious. Karma is a jealous bit**, and so is she.

Petals said...

Thanks Penny!

My memory is shot.

This season has been good! Have a good week everyone!
Thanks Jackie and love to Vincent 🤗

tbc said...

Great tribal!!

Joe in NY said...

Hi Petals,

I was dropping her off when you texted me. I had taken her to her Uncle's funeral

Petals said...

Hey Jenna - have you any inklings about the next lottery numbers? LOL

Petals said...

awww. It's serious when you go to airports, weddings or funerals. ♥

monty924 said...

Gabby did it to herself...

If you haven't watched the Ponderosa vids, they are great. Carl's was really nice last week after his sloppy showing with the reward and the Godfather edit. This is going to be a great jury.

Thanks Jackie. Everyone have a great rest of the week and will see you all next week

Jenna G said...

Yes Petals, Robinson 4th season Marquesa..bad spelling on that...

Jenna G said...

Lol! I wish!

Jackie S. said...

Now that we're in commercial I hear "guy in lime green shirt" is White Fang. That does me a lot of good.

We seriously need to stick to names! I have no clue, maybe Nick.

Thanks for coming by, all!

Petals said...

whoa whoa - Davey voted Christian?

Thank you Jackie. Until next week everyone!

xoxoxo

Jenna G said...

This is a good season. Thanks Jackie. Have a great week everyone!

Jenna G said...

I bet Davie knew Christian would use his idol so not to "out" himself as the one who told what the plan was he thought it safer to vote with the tribe.

Judi Sweeney said...

Glad my pool guy Christian played his idol... Thanks Jackie!!!
