Survivor 38: Edge of Extinction Season Premiere Blog Party

Let's see how this extinction thing is going to work! It looks like a good cast this year and they're all huge fans of the show. Unfortunately, unlike seasons which have the Survivor premiere and the Big Brother finale on the same night, we don't get an hour and a half. I even recall some seasons with a two hour long premiere. Nope. It's an hour tonight.

Although I'm sure to have some trouble matching names and faces tonight, I'll be live blogging and constantly updating this post as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the party is in the comments area -- feel free to join in on the fun!

If you want cheat sheets with names and faces, I have the tribes in separate posts -- Manu and Kama. You can also see who your pool castaway is! 

Lifeguard Laurie has graciously offered to do the blog pool again this season. How great is she, I ask! Here's the breakdown from Laurie:

As per tradition, nobody goes home tonight. They get put with someone who only has 2 people. I do thank everyone for signing up on the Pool Sign up Page!

Manu Tribe
Chris Underwood - Glenn Allen, Laurie
Dan DaSilva "Wardog" - Jackie, Nana in the NW
David Wright * - Dr_Celine, PDX Granny, Renee Buck
Keith Sowell - Donna in Alabama, meb, Skyriverblue
Kelley Wentworth * - Donna in NY, Jenna G.
Lauren O'Connell - Brian, Krysta Gibson, Sharon N.
Reem Daly - David, Terry is a Texan, Sharon C.
Rick Devens - Auntie Leigh, Merrilee
Wendy Diaz - Janice, Jennasmom, tbz

Kama Tribe
Aubry Bracco * - Cheryl in NC, Margo, Petals
Aurora McCreary - Ed in Ohio, marthalight
Eric Hafemann - Bizaro22, Pinky, Shannon
Gavin Whitson - Brenda, KelseyNY
Joe Anglim * - Carol C., Kismet
Julia Carter - Donna in FL, Monty924, Jennifer
Julie Rosenberg - Delee, MikesGirl
Ron Clark - CherryPie, Judi Sweeney, Rochelle
Victoria Baamonde - Indiana Jane, Karen in VS, SueGee

Survivor fans ready? Let's get this show going!

Jeff introduces some of the castaways and tells us players will be faced with a decision upon being voted out -- go home or go to the edge of extinction with a chance to return to the game. He talks to the newbies and tells them there are four returning players. All of them now are together on a boat. Jeff goes over the track record of the returnees.

The boat is loaded with supplies -- each tribe has two minutes to get stuff on their respective boats. Newbie Keith can't swim. Why don't people make sure they can swim before coming on the show?

As they work building the shelter, Kelley works to bond with others to decrease the target on her back and build a good alliance. David is still insecure but is willing to try to help others so they can trust him. Interesting, a newbie (Wendy? Lauren?) has Tourettes with the tics and such. That wasn't mentioned in her bio.

Over on Kama, Joe doesn't want to show off but he does end up being asked questions and making fire. Whoa! One of the newbies picked up a secret advantage clue on the boat. Ron Clark (I think)  digs up an advantage menu. It's good through the third tribal. He has choices like immunity after the vote, etc.

Joe tells Aubry he's happy with the tribe -- everyone's working and seem like a good bunch. The firefighter and Gavin seem to be bonding. But there are already rumblings about getting Aubry out. 

Reem seems to be alienating people by trying to help them. She did things like put one guy's shirt on the beach to dry without telling him. Reem and Wendy teach Keith to swim. He really should have learned before. The others back at the camp are now suspicious of the three.

Immunity challenge time. Maneuver through obstacles, one person climb, rinse and repeat sort of, then a puzzle. Reward is fire in the form of a flint. 

KAMA wins Immunity! (And should give Joe a big thanks.)

Reem brings up that Kelley and Lauren need to be separated. Keith isn't too keen on that but just feels he doesn't want to be in their sights! Wendy's name is brought up. Wendy would like to have Reem stay -- Reem's targeted mainly due to the motherly aspect. With Wendy speaking up for Reem, all of a sudden Wendy is a target. Reem is ready to fight.

Tribal Council time! I'm ready for Jeff's Probsting questions! Did you realize Jeff is now 57 years old? He starts off asking about tribal unity or off in little groups. Reem is already on the defensive because her name was out there. She's calling age discrimination. I don't think she's helping her cause. Jeff asks her if she's confrontational at home. She's still defensive. Wardog gets just as defensive back at her. 

Time to vote.

The tally --
Reem, Kelley, Wendy, Lauren, Reem, Wendy, Reem, Wendy, Reem

Well, she is voted out … but, wait …!

She mumbles a lot walking away and comes into the Edge of Extinction fire/ sign. She takes the torch and gets on the boat. She won't give up! 

She finds that absolutely nothing is there where the boat leaves her. And then we end ...

Why can't they learn to swim before they get there?

I missed the darn pool. I think I've never missed since it started. Oh well. That means I can pick whomever I want to win.

Any Survivor "fan" would know a few key things: swim, fire, socialize!

Laurie said...

Hi everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the pool and the warm weather. It's raining in San Diego. I know it never rains in California. Except sometimes it does. Enjoy the show!

Jenna G said...

Lmao!

Petals said...

Passing a STELLA to Jenna ~~~~>>>

Jenna G said...

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Penny! Hey Petals!

Petals said...

STELLA for Squeeeeeeq ~~~~>>>

Nickelpeed said...

@ SueGee I never understood that either. You know you're participating. If you ever watched Survivor or TAR, you should know.

monty924 said...

Thanks, Ed. Finally got the BB win... now I just need a Survivor :)))

tbc said...

Hi, Jenna!

Nickelpeed said...

They are going to wonder where he is. Hope he hides everything. Or burns it soon.

jennifer said...

That is a great question I have asked too... but it makes it kinda fun... like listening to the New York girl that has no survival skills.... and omg that guy just found a clue?!?

tbc said...

Hi, Penny! Nice to see you!!

jennifer said...

Hey!!

tbc said...

Hi, Petals!

jennifer said...

Lmao!!

Nickelpeed said...

@ Petals; Porn-stache. LOLOLOLOL

tbc said...

Hi , Glenn!

Petals said...



The NY chick was brought in to make waves, IMO

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny. I have the Mantu tribe with Chris Underwood. The lady with Tourettes has a great sense of humor.

SueGee said...

Immunity after the vote is a nice one

Nickelpeed said...

Had a good snow storm here in Ohio. We even had bright lightening, with a big boom.

Did you see in New Mexico, they had a tornado while it was snowing. Crazy!

tbc said...

Hi, Monty!

Petals said...

I have Aubrey in the pool; I don't think I disliked her last time (but I never remember).
Monty - a Pigeon Forge guy!

Joe in NY said...

I'm glad Survivor is back. I lost interest in Celebrity BB.

monty924 said...

Aww, Gavin is so cute and he's from east Tennessee :)))

Petals said...

ditto BF

SueGee said...

Just hailed with thunder & lightning about 10 miles east of here We have sunshine but it is very windy

Petals said...

"big broad beautiful shoulders" YES! *sigh*

Nickelpeed said...

I agree, SueGee. He has some great choices.

monty924 said...

Penny, we dodged that here in southern Ohio but I hate all this rain. Ready to find a Ark

SueGee said...

Me too Joe. Celebrity is such a loose term. Give me Survivor and TAR any day!

Nickelpeed said...

Why did the firefighter say they need to get rid of Aubrey?

Petals said...

mom chick won't last; she & NY chicks won't last

Glenn Allen said...

The new guys want Aubrey out next. Who is the lady that did the cleaning?

jennifer said...

I am going to have to try the Stall sometime!

Nickelpeed said...

Yeah, Monty. Too much rain. Right now we've got the snow and rain. Makes the snow really heavy!

I don't know if I like the News Anchor. Uhmmmmm

monty924 said...

I always have to re-watch the show during Survivor. I miss too much talking here, LOL

SueGee said...

The returning players are all threats and targets

Glenn Allen said...

Penny they want Aubrey then Joe out because they want to figure things out on their own. They don't want to ask Joe to make fire etc.

Nickelpeed said...

Me, too, Monty.

jennifer said...

This season was better than last imo.

Jackie S. said...

Glenn - I believe that was Reem cleaning.

SueGee said...

Monty - I don't get to watch until two hours after the chat, so I really know what to look for when it finally comes on here

Joe in NY said...

We all know who your favorite Joe is, Petals. LOL

jennifer said...

I hate that it takes me a minute to remember names!

Nickelpeed said...

If they are smart, they'll wait to get rid of the returning players. They need their help.

Thanks, Glenn. I figured that's why. They do need them, though.

Jenna G said...

The only reason I understood was that simply they are returning players but to keep Joe because he's a bigger target so that means Aubrey is the target. I like Aubrey, I hope that doesn't happen

Glenn Allen said...

Thanks Jackie.

Jenna G said...

True!

monty924 said...

Looks rough

Nickelpeed said...

This is a hard one. But interesting. Like the Dragon!

Jenna G said...

Lol me too!

Petals said...

Joe - you are always my PRIMARY favorite; but Survivor Joe is Ozzie 2.0, LOL.

(but you are always #1 in my heart)

(...behind Ozzie)

hheheheeeee

monty924 said...

Kama huge advantage, but the puzzle...

Nickelpeed said...

And they want to get rid of Joe and Abray because??? They are the ones who can keep them in the game.

jennifer said...

This is a tough challenge!

tbc said...

Ouch

Glenn Allen said...

YW Penny. Chris My pool guy Chris did good on the pole Chris finally across pole. Kelly hurt.

Jenna G said...

Shoot she feel hard!

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, hope Kelly is okay.

jennifer said...

Ouch, wentworth!

Petals said...

Joe could have played tennis, with his looks & height.

Jenna G said...

I know!

monty924 said...

Rats

Glenn Allen said...

Puzzles are hard to move. Go Manu.

monty924 said...

YES!!!

Petals said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


STELLA for everyone!

Jenna G said...

Oh Booooo, my tribe lost!

Petals said...

did he catch that with something else in his hand? *swoon*

Glenn Allen said...

I hope my Pool guy Chris stays in the game!

jennifer said...

Woot woot!!

Ed in Ohio said...

Joe & Aubrey wanted that bad....can't blame em'

Nickelpeed said...

This ought to be interesting. Will they eliminate Kelly or Dave? Or some of the bigger than life players?

SueGee said...

KAMA has KARMA?

Nickelpeed said...

I think Joe and Aubrey knew they were targets. Glad they won.

monty924 said...

Don't know why, but I don't remember Dave!! Kelly, yes but not Dave.

SueGee said...

The guy who can't swim needs to go first in my mind...will be a big liability in their battles

monty924 said...

I so agree with you, SueGee!

Jenna G said...

Yes!

Petals said...

yes, Squee. Or mom chick.

Petals said...

I like Anchorman so far.
And I think I remember liking Wentworth from her season? Wasn't she Auschwitz thin back then? She looks normal now.

Jenna G said...

Yeah don't like Reem, she's going after my pool pick Kelly...

Petals said...

Oh Reem is the mom? So these brats wanna keep her b/c she does mom chores? Lol

Petals said...

Oh good - get rid of greenie.

Jenna G said...

Anyone but Kelly!

monty924 said...

Kelly getting hurt wasn't a sing of weakness, Reem. She was playing hard.

Nickelpeed said...

If they're all together of this, I'll be shocked.

tbc said...

Petals, you’d figure they’d appreciate the chores...

Jackie S. said...

Who's "greenie"?

Jenna G said...

That's right!

Glenn Allen said...

I agree about the guy that can't swim going but Rheem and Wendy not doing good, Reem wants Kelly Wentworth out cause she got hurt!

monty924 said...

Agree Glenn. Keith was smart though by going back to the larger group and ratting out Reem and Wendy.

jennifer said...

Ditto...

Jenna G said...

Yes, thank goodness.

jennifer said...

Her head is bruised, not cut off!

tbc said...

Oh,if it’s Wendy, then I’ll be out of the pool first again...�� any prize for that??

Nickelpeed said...

It will be interesting to see who they target.

SueGee said...

tbc you win a nice cold Stella!!

Jenna G said...

It's never good to throw attitude like that at tribal! I don't like when women call other women dudes ..peeve of mine.

Ed in Ohio said...

Got to hand it to Jackie.....watching the show, live blogging, and monitoring us. That's some multitasking! I have a hard time just watching and reading the comments.

Petals said...

sorry Jackie - the chick in green with green hair. I don't know her name yet. But I think she'll be leaving, so maybe it won't matter? Wendy! That's her!

jennifer said...

Hand Reem a shovel so she can start digging her own grave!

tbc said...

Thank you, SueGee... ��

Petals said...

Ed - Jackie is Yoda. She's a blog Jedi.

Nickelpeed said...

She's going to talk herself out of the game. Yikes!!!

Joe in NY said...

Less is more, honey. STFU!

jennifer said...

She is reminding me of Natalie being so defensive!

Glenn Allen said...

Rheem needs to go first! She is causing distractions!

Judi Sweeney said...

Hey Jackie, Laurie and everyone! Alright Survivor!

Petals said...

LOL Joe, right!?

Jenna G said...

She sooooo dug her own grave!

monty924 said...

My mom used to tell me that I was digging my grave deeper, lol. When I was a teenager :)))

Nickelpeed said...

Who is the one who is a Kelly fan? Wendy?

Nickelpeed said...

I hate saying this, but if they do not get rid of Reem, it will be a loooooong night

Nickelpeed said...

Yep, all over the place. They just can't talk to each other.

monty924 said...

Yep, she did it too herself at Tribal

Petals said...

Laurin is pretty - those eyes!

Bye Reem!

jennifer said...

Loose lips sink ships!

Nickelpeed said...

Did you see the fire snuffer? How so cool!!!!

Petals said...

Bye Reem. Was this a dream?
Or did your presence make me
wanna SCREAM??

Jenna G said...

Well, will she chose extinction? Bet she does...

Petals said...

oh no...

jennifer said...

What?!?

Nickelpeed said...

OMG! This is VERY COOL!!

monty924 said...

Haha, forgot about that!!

tbc said...

Survivor tip: don’t clean up after anybody

Nickelpeed said...

What Jurrasic park???? LOL

monty924 said...

She asked for rain, LOL

Jenna G said...

Of course she did! Maybe this will give us a chance to like her better.

Nickelpeed said...

Yikes!!! Interesting!

jennifer said...

Looks like a good season to come! See y’all next week, stay warm and dry!

SueGee said...

I think the game is going to eat her up!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Judi! Can you imagine if she wins her way back into the game!

Jenna G said...

Thank you Jackie! Have a wonderful week everyone. Nite all!

tbc said...

What was she expecting, a campsite?

Jackie S. said...

Ed -- AND I have a cat in my lap!

Jenna G said...

We will se what shes really made of.

Jackie S. said...

In a way, although she definitely was too confrontational, I like Reem's spunk. It's good to see a tough "older" player.

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by!

monty924 said...

Well, that went too fast. Thanks Jackie and will see all of you fine folks next week!!

Petals said...

Thank you Jackie!!!

See you guys soon! xoxoxx

Ed in Ohio said...

G'Nite All!

Thanks Laurie for the pool pick! & Thanks Jackie for all you do!!

Judi Sweeney said...

Nothing like confrontation right out of the gate! Thank you Jackie and Laurie!

meb said...

Thanks Jackie and Laurie. I don’t know my pool pick So I’ll have to pay more attention next time to the name when they’re talking. I was not so excited when Rheem was targeted until she wouldn’t shut up. Can’t wait to see what she’s going to go through.

Nickelpeed said...

See everyone next week! Thank you, Jackie. Greatly appreciated.

David said...

Please tell me my pick, Reem, is out so I can get re-assigned. lol Just watched the show. Yea, a couple days late, but I was not at home.

Thanks Jackie. =)

Terry is a Texan! said...

Ok I got Reem, and of course I liked her least. Wondering how she will handle the time on the new island....
But honestly I long for Joe to win
