Survivor: David vs. Goliath - Season Finale 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!
Tonight is the big three-hour season finale/reunion night! In my opinion, we're wrapping up one of the best seasons ever on the show. I like being blindsided -- shows need to blindside me more often!
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
Davie - CherryPie, KelseyNY, Robin Allard
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
Gabby
Christian
Survivor fans ready? Six are left. Who will be the sole Survivor tonight?
Why am I not surprised that Christian is wearing a bowtie?
Davie is searching for an idol. Wait, they're all looking, it seems.
Angelina found a clue to the idol. Now she just has to get to the idol -- easier said than done. She has to haul a ladder and climb for it. D'oh! She lost her clue when she went to check to see if the area is clear. Scared that someone else will find the clue, she decides to climb for it. Now she's stuck. She gets down and runs into others. She cries to them and tells them she fell from a tree. She vows to us that she will return for "her" idol.
Immunity Challenge time -- over obstacles, toss ball to get puzzle pieces, puzzle steps to make staircase, 63 piece puzzle. Rewaed is spaghetti, garlic bread and dessert.
NICK wins Immunity!
He invites Angelina, saying she'll eat the vegetarian stuff. For a second, Davie tells him not to choose him as he went on the family visit. Nick chooses Mike to join him. Alison is the person left behind every time and she cries to us.
The feast is near where Angelina lost her idol clue. It's all she can think of. At camp, Davie is sure that Nick is on his side. Alison thinks so, too. Nick tells us that he wants Davie to stay.
Whoops! Angelina is telling Mike and Nick about the clue because she needs help. Mike finds the clue and … she gets the idol!
Alison tries to work with Angelina. Alison says Davie has to go. Angelina tells her that she's (Alison) going. Mike doesn't want Alison gone -- he's pushing for Davie to be the target. Kara is on board with the Davie ouster. Mike tries to work on Angelina to target Davie.
To the Tribal Council -- Jeff starts with asking about the Immunity Challenge. Alison tells him that only two names were brought up for voting out -- her and Davie. Davie says he isn't comfortable. Nick says he wants people to be on the same page as him. Mike says they need to think of what will make you go further.
The tally:
Davie, Alison, Alison, Davie, Davie, Davie
Rats. I liked the dude! But, then again, I don't mind Alison. Davie tells them the person who orchestrated this gets his vote for a million dollars (unless someone makes a bigger move).
Jeff talks to him at the finale. Davie says more black kids need to watch the show. Jeff brings up that Davie wasn't supposed to be on the show but was called in last minute to replace someone who dropped out.
Back to the island … Nick is ticked! He's so upset they didn't back him up with keeping Davie. Angelina tells him it was all Mike. Now the others are all talking about how badly Nick is handling it.
Right to Immunity --
Perch on a pole in the ocean, fill bucket, pour water from leaking bucket to raise key, get key, swim to shore, unlock and get puzzle pieces, solve puzzle.
Alison gets her key first. Then Nick. Then Kara, then Mike. Finally Angelina.
NICK wins Immunity again!
He tells us revenge will be sweet.
Angelina wants to target Alison. (Well, duh.) She tells Nick and Mike that she wants to have two vote for her (so she can use her idol to save herself and be queen). Mike isn't keen on the idea. Tonight is the only vote she can use the idol so she wants to show off with it. Mike tells Kara that Angelina has an idol. Jara tells us that she thinks Mike is the bigger threat and she thinks of flipping the script and get Nick involved. Alison talks to Nick. He's considering it. Huh? Now Angelina is finding a fake idol in front of Alison? Girl is whack.
Tribal time. Jeff mentions that Nick was blindsided and they talk about that. Heh. Alison says Mike is a threat and he plays dumb.
Mike votes Alison.
To the tally --
Wait!
Angelina makes a show of playing the fake idol.
Then she plays the real idol.
The tally:
Mike, Alison, Alison, Alison.
Well, they finally got her.
Immunity Challenge has them repeatedly dropping and retrieving a ball in a maze doohickey, one arm only. Additional balls will be added and direction will switch.
Angelina is out first. Mike is out. Kara out.
NICK wins the final Immunity Challenge!
He will choose one to take with him and the other two have to compete in a fire challenge to join the final three.
So the three others all work on Nick to take them. Nick tells them that he's more likely to win against Angelina, so he's taking her. Mike and Kara will do the fire challenge. I personally think he made the right decision although I think Mike would be the biggest threat against him.
Final Tribal Council --
Nick announces that he's taking Angelina (for the same reason he told the others before).
Mike and Kara are going to make fire. MIKE wins! He will be in the final three with Nick and Angelina!
The three feast and each tells us how they feel and why they should win. I'm still rolling my eyes at Angelina's delusions.
Off to Tribal with the jury questioning --
Outwit first:
Elizabeth - We're undecided. Christian wants them to each tell outwitted move.
Nick - Information and timing, alliances (named), build personal connections, John says the finish is important. What did he do after John? Reconnected with other allies.
Angelina - Fallout with Elizabeth, reputation in dumps, picked self up, adaptable social game. Davie brings up the rice bragging.
Mike - Wanted final two deals with people. Wanted threats that were willing to work with him rather than otherwise. Alison brings up his sarcasm. He feels bad. He felt like the introverted writer kid and outcast. Influenced the game after nine people.
Nick brings up the fact his game was pretty much the same but he had to rely on himself. Gabby tells Angelina that women are treated differently in the game and gives her kudos. Kara gives them all kudos.
Outplay:
Dan tells Mike that the first time he made fire was last night. Mike says he tried and didn't do horribly. Davie wants Angelina and Nick to reverse tribes and tell. Angelina tells about her idol search faux pas. Out of comfort zone. Alison brings up the fake idol to embarrass her. She denies that's why. And her theatrics … and keep Mike safe.
Nick says he has some Goliath traits, tells of winning immunities, people skills.
Outlast:
Angelina -- Realized why she was a Goliath in the beginning. But she ended up feeling beaten down, damaged goods, rise and pick herself up. Most battle-tested player in the three.
Nick -- Swapped to tribes with few Davids, only David at the end. Has always fought his way out things, mother died of overdose, he fights to save others who have drug problems, had to do everything to get to this point, was underdog.
Mike -- Never felt real nervous. He wanted to PLAY the game. What does he stand for? What does coming into the show mean for him? Not a saint, feel like it's a worthy endeavor to win the game.
Christian voted for Mike. John voted for Nick.
The tally for the winner:
Nick, Mike, Mike, Mike, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick.
Yep! Although I'm a Mike White fan, I think the right person -- Nick -- won
And, as I predicted in comments -- no one voted for Angelina.
Congratulation blog pool winners -- Brian, Jennasmom, Paula Bell, Silk
Next season -- Four returning players included Joe and Aubry.
Survivor: Edge of Extinction.
Sounds interesting.

FINALE
Hi Jackie and Monty and everyone who follows. Merry Christmas to everyone as well.
Don't know who I'm rooting for. Nick's at the top though
Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you, Jackie, for allowing us to come here.
Hey Jackie, best hostess EVER! Hey Monty and Glenn and to ALL Who follow! Did not realize this was the finale!!!
Hey Glenn
If anyone is wondering where Alec is, he was banned from the finale for posting pictures on Instagram before the show started airing this season.
Seriously, Angelina found the clue!!!!
Hi Monty and Glenn!
Hi Jackie & Monty. Here we gooooooooo! Chilled shrimp on ice & Savion Blanc is on the bar.
Hi Penny and Jennifer
Hi Glenn, Penny and Jennifer!
Alec did that??? Wow. You'd think he'd know better.
Ha ha she lost her clue.
I’m ready for treats!!
Hi Jackie, Homie, Glenn, Penny, Jennifer, & Jenna et al!
Hi, all!!
Angelina is her own worst enemy.
Hi Jenna
Lost the clue...
Hi Jennifer!
Hello everyone! Happy Survivor night
Finale already? Time sure does fly!
She is a great actress!
Hi TBC... Homie, how you doin'?
Hi Ed, Jenna, tbc
I wonder if someone else will find that clue. LOL.
Hey Judi
Hi Judi
Hi Ed, tbc & Judy. What's next? Celebrity BB?
Holy cracker jaxs!!! That is a puzzle!!!
63 pieces!!!!!!!!!!
Needed carbs!
Spaghetti... that was my dinner tonight, LOL. Btw, I have several bottles of Red over at the bar tonight.
It definitely was a season for blindsiding and I liked that!
Hi Penny and Ed and TBC and Jenna and Jennifer and Judi. Poor Angelina finds her clue loses the clue then was stuck on the cliffs.
You're right, Monty. Angelina does her own self in all the time.
Monty, doin' ok. Been busy. Sorry to see Urban go, going to hurt recruiting.
I’m making spaghetti squash burrito bowls!!
Cara!!!
I know, Ed. I was so bummed out but hoping that this new coach will follow well. He didn't do too shabby the first three games this season. But still... :(((
Hi Monty, Jenna, Penny, Joe, Ed, Jennifer, tbc, Glenn, Laurie and of course our great Host Jackie!
That is some puzzle!
Jeff needs to stop talking!
That is some puzzle! Wow
Right, Jennifer?!
Yes, NICK!!!
Nick!!!!!!
Can Jeff slow down with the play by play. Geez!
Profile pic, lol. Love Nick's sense of humor!
Wow what a comeback by Nick!
I feel sorry for Allison.
I do too.
Yep, human to be sad.
Make that three of us. Allison has played a strong game though so she's always a target and I wouldn't want to be sitting next to her in the end.
So, on this commercial break, just want to say... I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas ❤️
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas too!
You, too, Jennifer. I, too, hope every one has a Merry Christmas.
I agree. I've liked her from the jump. She's my pool pick as well. She's from in my neck of the woods.
Thank you, Jennifer. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️
Merry Christmas everyone!!🎄🎄
Now, who's going to find Angelina's clue. LOL
I hope Allison!
SMDH... there she goes again @@
IMO, if they keep Mike or Kara in there, they will win.
Angelina, loose lips sink ships.
Her own worst enemy!
Guys, I don't know if I truly trust Mike.
Drink that wine Mike! I'll have a glass too!
Interesting...
Wow. Hopefully, he'll vote with them. I was wrong. Sorry
Trust NO ONE! Survivor 101.
I feel badly for Allison. I do not think she's the biggest threat.
Ha there goes Mike....
Angelina finally gets her Idol with help from Nick and Mike. Davie is more of a threat!
She just put a target on herself
Yep!
If they vote out Davie, there's only 1 David. They have always been their own worse enemy. The think Mike and crew will vote with them, but they are for only Goliaths. So stupid. This will secure a Goliath win.
~*~*~*~*~ LATE SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~
Hey everyone!
I would much rather see Angelina go than Allison
Merry Christmas to all. I think that Davie is a bigger threat than Allison!
Yay! Hi Petals!! Glad you made it!
I am lost. Just tuning in, long day at work.
Agree!
Hey Jenna! MONTY!TEEB!
I remember I still like Davie.
I do like Nick too. But I like Davie more.
Not lost, but such a long day at work.... getting ready for the holiday!
PETALS... good to see you here!! I'm rooting for Nick and Mike
We had our office Christmas party & Secret Santa thingy. NO CHRISTMAS BONUS! We got $100 past 3 yrs. Nothing this year.
Not even Jelly-of-the-Month.
Hey, Petals!!
I like Davie, too. Did he ever vote for one of his own once they merged? Can't remember.
I’m so sorry Clark!!
I believe if they do not target Kara or Mike, the rest will lose.
Oh man, sorry to here that....who cares about silly secret Santa gifts,,,, show me the $$$$!
Cowgirl hasn’t looked like a cowgirl since getting voted out!!
Christian expression was hilarious!!
NOOOOOOOOO
That was smart
Oh no!!!!
Oh darn, I did like him...
So was nick blindsided with this??
Well, I guess I want Nick to win.
AWESOME, CLASSY exit!
Who orchestrated it? I missed it!
He’s classy
Mike did, Petals!
Angelina is not my favorite
I am sad. See, see, Nick. Maybe you shouldn't have voted out your own people. Dang.
WHOOOOOOOO!!!!
Aaaawwww Davie🤗
He played so well. Very classy. I'm sad to see him go. Nick has no chance now.
Me, either, Terry
Me neither.
**** big applause ****
Ok, I like him more now!
Celebrity BB starts next month.
Jennifer, yes. He thought they all were going to vote Allison. However, the Goliath are actually sticking together.
I would have loved to have seen Davie win. Nick will be next.
The hubs just got me a
Christmas present!! Trip to Aruba!!!
He looks like an alien in the lighting
Well, Nick, they've been playing you the whole time. They're not going to work with you.
Sorry... just got super excited 😆
I"m skipping Celeb BB. Last season was such a yawn...I can't take 10 more D-listers killing 30 days on camera.
Yep he's mad, and yep your next. He's right.
Hahah! Yes!
Jennifer! What a nice surprise! Merry Christmas!
Whoooohoooo! Awesome!
Nick better step up!
YAY, lucky you, Jennifer!!
I would totally win this one!
this is a new challenge! wow
I'm with you Petals. Won't watch it. LOL
Nick can be mad all he wants. They played him. He voted so many of his own people out. Mike could never be trusted.
yes, d lister, but it’s fun away
Haven't they played this one before on other survivors?
You better step up Nick.
argh, this is killing me
Allison and Nick needs to win this..they are my two favorite left.
Penny - I don't remember it. But I have ZERO memory lately. (yes, really. And it's scary)
Have the producers asked Probst to talk constantly??
I would like to see Nick win because he's the only David. But I still think his chance is very slim.
Standing and balancing on the platform but I don't remember them having to fill buckets.
Mine too!
So annoying!!
Probst never shuts up LOL
YES NICK!
Yay, Nick!!
YES!!!
Good for Nick. I hope Allison makes it through to another day.
Now Goliath has to vote one of their own off.
Nick the only David wins Immunity. Does Nick vote out Allison or go for Mike?
If they are smart, they need to vote off Kara or Mike. But they'll probably target Allison.
I keep forgetting about Kara.
She is quite or it’s the editing!
Penny I remember them doing something similar with the platform and Buckets.
Well, we know Nick wants Mike gone now, but I'm saying Kara or Allison. I've saying they should drag Angelina to the end and it looks likely to happen now that she has the idol.
Angelina, it isn't playing it correctly if you script it out. UGH
Guys, get Mike or Kara out!! Listen to me!!
Angelina trying to be personal to get drama.
Jenna - who is Kara?
Stupid, stupid, stupid!! Angelina, see, loose lips sink your own plans.
Exactly!
Yes!
Angelina trying to be a "villian". *yawn*
I might have spelled her name wrong. Is it Cara or Kara?
Nope, could be Mike! hmmm
Blonde with braids.
Wow Mike might have helped to get himself out by telling about the Idol plan for Angelina!
Kara
Are they going to vote Angelina instead?
Try borderline stupid
That is so mean.
Not nice!
Poor Allison. I hope they still stick with Mike. We'll see.
Nicjel - It's Kara. And Alison is a one L Alison.
Here we go
Love that Hawaiian shirt Davie!!
Wrong thing to say, Nick. Just say you were mad because Davie left.
I'm sad they didn't have a favorite player vote.
I hope she doesn’t play that fake idol! Hope someone told her!!!
Yes, you are Mike. You really are.
I do, too, Jennifer. She is not as big threat as Mike or Kara.
Howdy everyone!! Just dropping by for a minute...my cat had surgery today and I have this cat with a cone on her head walking around the house bumping into things and acting like she is drunk! I'm keeping one eye on the blog and one eye on the cat. Maybe she will sleep a bit?
Squeegee
Crap, I have to get the dog’s out...
Thank you Jackie. I wasn't sure.
Nooooooooo!
Oh no!!!
Angelina is a ridiculous @@
You ARE Janky
What a biotch
She's such a mean girl.
Hey Squeeg and Coney Cat
How is Angelina still there?? I can’t stand her.
They lied to Nick again.
Dang it. Ok on the Nick train now!
I guess not. I guess they were just saying that to her.
I did make a cheesecake today...anyone want some?? Cherry topping
Let’s go .... anyone BUT Angelina... she just gets under my skin.... has the whole time!
Hey SueGee... hugs coming the kitty's way
Ugh, I know!
Jennifer, I agree but it's even more reason to take her to the end. Nobody would vote for Angelina so that makes her the ultimate goat.
Hi SueGee. I agree anyone but Angelina for the win!
So true! I always forget to think like that in the end!!
This challenge looks INTERESTING!!
Oh this one...
They'll add more and more balls...it gets harder and harder.
