Good evening! Did you hear the news? Next Wednesday following Survivor, we'll have the season premiere of The Amazing Race! Three teams each from Survivor and Big Brother will be competing, as well as five previous TAR teams. Since this blog has fans from all three shows, it seems custom-made for us! I posted about the BB and Survivor teams on this here linked post. Watch out for the blog pool opening post tomorrow!
As for tonight, it looks (from promos) like a Tribal Council not to miss! Other than that, perhaps we'll learn more about Extinction … or not. I'll be live blogging the showing covering all the major events the best I can as the show airs here on the East Coast -- refresh the page to get the latest news. The real party is in the comments section. Please feel free to join in on the fun!
Here are the latest blog pool standings from Lifeguard Laurie --
Aurora McCreary - Ed in Ohio, marthalight
Dan DaSilva "Wardog" - Jackie, Nana in the NW
David Wright * - Dr_Celine, PDX Granny, Renee Buck
Gavin Whitson - Brenda, KelseyNY
Julia Carter - Donna in FL, Monty924, Jennifer
Julie Rosenberg - Delee, MikesGirl
Kelley Wentworth * - Donna in NY, Jenna G.
Lauren O'Connell - Brian, Krysta Gibson, Sharon N.
Rick Devens - Auntie Leigh, Merrilee
Ron Clark - Cherry Pie, Judi Sweeney, Rochelle
Victoria Baamonde - Indiana Jane, Karen in VS, SueGee
Jury & Extinction
Reem Daly - David, Terry is a Texan, Sharon C
Chris Underwood - Glenn Allen, Laurie
Aubry Bracco * - Cheryl in NC, Margo, Petals
Eric Hafemann - Bizaro22, Pinky, Shannon
Joe Anglim * - Carol C, Kismet
Survivor fans ready? Let's get this show going!
Coming back from Tribal, Ron and Julie's blindside has Wardog scheming even more. Gavin is in a tight spot with his ex-ally Ron. He thinks he's in with a new alliance. We'll see how that works out. David and Rick voted differently but are trying to get back in with Ron and Julie to take control of the game.
Joe is on Extinction. He's bored. He calls it The Great Slowdown. He thinks Chris might be thinking of the white flag. Meanwhile, Chris catches a stingray. Things lookin' better! Eric is determined to stay.
Back at camp, Rick tries to reason with Julie. David, Rick, Ron and Julie try to figure an additional number. Julie is ready to jump ship from the Kama people. Oh, geez. She breaks down in confessional and to them. It seems like her resolve might be dissolving.
Wardog, Kelley and Lauren are also a trio to keep an eye on. Julia is worried about them.
Time for the Immunity Challenge. It's a repeat from David's season (in which he did poorly). Stand on narrow beam while balancing a ball on a grooved bow. As time goes on, move to narrower section of the beam.
Wardog out first. Julie out. Next round. Ron out. Rick out. Aurora out, Victoria out. Lauren out. Kelley out. Julia out. David out.
GAVIN WINS IMMUNITY!
He's sure he'll be sending David home tonight.
David's name is getting thrown around, as is Ron's name. Will Kama Strong be strong once again? Now Kelley's name is in there, too. Lots of distrust throughout. Gavin doesn't want Kelley voted out. He feels that the others who want Kelley out instead of David have betrayed him.
David knows he's on the chopping block. He thinks that he and Rick need to use the idol. Rick agrees with him that he (David) is in trouble. Kelley too is worried. Now, we know she has an idol of her own.
It must be some Tribal ahead as they're heading to it just over a half-hour into the show.
Tribal time! Jeff talks about trust and blindsides. Julie says she was blindsided last week and her game was blown apart. David likens Lesu to minnows being devoured by sharks (Kama). Gavin talks about the lack of trust and set plans chaning. Julie is crying, saying she thinks it will be another blindside against her or Ron tonight. Julie, giggling, says she giggled because Kelley gave her if the plan was still good. Now Lesu thinks they're the plan again.
Now they're arguing about which tribe is the most dysfunctional. Wardog says he's confused. Julia calls Rick a passenger, after he called himself one. Rick says the seven who seem left out should get together and control the vote. David is just smiling. He thinks it's desperation and everyone is trying to figure out what is going on.
Whoa! They're talking all around. They tell David the plan was him. Julie is ready to jump ship! It's like all the scheming pre-Tribal is happening AT Tribal.
Still lots of confusion. They say they're ready to vote. I still can't make heads or tails of it all!
The tally … Eric matches the idol halves and David is safe.
David, Kelley, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia …
Welp, I guess she's jumping ship, not Julie!
She chooses to go to Extinction and feels all kinds of betrayed by her Kama Strong.

Hey Monty! TAR does look like it will be at least fun!!
Hey Ed
~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*
Hey everyone!
My gf called 5 minutes ago, so I'm like, "uhm...I have to go, 'Survivor' is on". She asks, "Do other people really watch it, I mean, besides you & people like you?"
{not sure how to take THAT, but...}
I said sure, of course other people watch it, it's on like it's umpteenth season. She was surprised. She knows I'm a TV snob.
Well duh! And Survivor is GREAT TV! Geeeeesh.
LOL
Stella anyone?♥
Homie!!! Didn't have to root for Sparty after all :))
awww, poor lil smiley Stingray. :(
Hey Petals! Slide me a Stella puleeze
Hey Petals!! Duh, a lot of folks watch Survivor... and we all know this is the best place around to watch it together. I'll snag a Stella ♥
Hi Jackie and Monty and SueGee and Ed and all who follows.
Howdy Glenn
oh yeah, TAR? I've been a MEH fan of that show, but I am stoked for this new season, too Monty!
Brit? Victor? My Janey? Fuggetaboutit! I'm ALL IN!
Dang, already my girl's name is being thrown out there
Hi Glenn

Hi Jackie, Monty, Suegee, Glenn and Petals. I'll take a Stella!
Hey Glenn! Hey Teebers, Squeeg, Monty, Ed!
STELLA all around!
Hi tbc & Ed!
For those who take the time to read the blog post itself -- there is news about when the blog pool for TAR will open.
~~shooting STELLA down to Jenna ~~
Hi tbc and Jenna
How are you feeling Jenna?
Hi folks
Pretty early for immunity. Is it a double?
Hi to Jenna & tbc
Jackie - TAR comes on Sundays, right?
Hey Petals! Hi Jenna!
I'm so ready for TAR....
Lauren always come out so solid in these challenges. I'd like to see her win something.
Tar is going to be on right after Survivor
TAR pool opens tomorrow
thanks Sue!
Hey Joe baby!
Hey Joe
Coming along, I don't like being slowed down, but the body let's me know when to chill. Doc said today in post OP app to chill for 3 more weeks and she'll let me go back to the gym at 6 weeks. Can't wait...can't take anymore HGTV!
c'mon Dave
WTH? Julia out of nowhere
Watch some Hulu or Netflix, Jenna ;)
Yay for east Tennessee
So TAR will be on every Wed after Survivor?
I thought it was a Sunday night show. I can't remember.
Wonder when we'll get another extinction challenge???
Yes, I do check those too. Once in a while I catch something I haven't seen.
Petals, it's moved around nights. I hated it on Sundays because I always missed it.
Who knows Petals. They moved Labron's show to dead Saturday and have TAR with Survivor for now... It has been on several different nights over the years
Petals - I've already announced the start date and went through the BB and Survivor teams on TAR in a blog post (plus even mentioned the pool start date and once again the show premiere date again in this post).
Truthfully, I don't think any show wants to go up against GOT on Sunday.
Hi Jenna G.
When you get outvoted 3-1, that's NOT a dictatorship. LOL When you get YOUR way over everyone else, THAT'S a dictatorship.
Sorry Jackie.
Yes Jenna. Who can compete with GOT?
Well, some of us don't have HBO.... I'm saving a free trial for when the Deadwood movie comes out 5/31
Well, with so much time left, we know something interesting is going to happen tonight and likely it isn't just a great TC!!
I think Kelly and David might play their Idols tonight if David gets the other half of the Idol back.
SueGee, we have HBO and I don't watch GOT! Not my cup of tea but everyone I know loves it.
The reason it's on Wednesday is because The Million Dollar Mile (whatever) had horrible ratings and got worse each week. They put it in the death throes slot on Saturday. I would guess CBS is thinking the fans of Survivor, BB and TAR will all watch and it will have solid ratings in the slot after Survivor.
I LOVED Deadwood! Gosh I miss that show! It was over too soon! Have you seen Hell on Wheels? Netflix...if you liked Deadwood you'd like Hell on Wheels. It's about the building of the railroad East to West. So Good!
What channel is that on Jenna? And Deadwood was the best series EVER Have you seen the trailer for the Deadwood movie?? I can hardly wait (and I will because I will be out of the country 5/31)
Oh, Julie...
Monty, you know me - a pretty boy will get me every time. Well, Khal Drago (Jason Momoa, aka Aquaman, aka Mrs Lisa Bonet). So I was hooked. I do fast-forward thru the blind kid, and other parts. But yeah, it grabs you. And the production value is thru the roof $$ !
Glad that I can watch TAR on Wed.
Those were AMC series, right Jenna?
Never let them see you cry...
Hell on Wheels was, yes, but you can catch it on Netflix. Deadwood was HBO
War Dog is lost, LOL
It went 5 seasons on AMC but now you can catch the entire series on Netflix
This is a long drawn out Tribal!
I didn't realize so many people were left...
Yes, I did, I'm waiting for it too!
oh my gosh - this Tribal has me completely confused
Tribal chaos... I LOVE IT
Here we go again...I Love this!
Probst wisely staying quiet
They're over-doing it with all this talking. Go vote already!!
Love this tribal!!
LMAO at this tribal council
This is a crazy Tribal Council. I hate they cut to commercial mid sentence with Kelly. I would go along with the Aurora plan if I was Kelly and David. Then the teaser with Julie. She said she will jump ship.
OMG. That is crazy. Seems like they could have hashed that out at camp if they weren't all being so cagey.
Exactly, Joe! It's crazy!
I think the returning players have messed with the normal tribal interactions. They get one thing in their brains and no other thoughts
Does David have a whole idol?
We haven't either, Jeff!! LOL
Seriously, JUlia? You shush war dog in the middle of this chaos.
I'm totally lost
Yep this one takes the cake!
Joe, my pool girl isn't so smart! ;-)
wow
Ohhhhhhhhh
Wow
Should Kelly or David use an Idol? Kelly Should play hers maybe.
wasted idol(s)
I'm gone, LOL
Julia out which is good Kelly saved her Idol.
Maybe not yet Monty...
Of course she does, lol
That was a perfect example of talking yourself out of the game. She was not on the radar except maybe with Kelly until she just couldn't lay low at tribal
Yup!! I don't have any hope of her getting back in the game or winning. ugh
I forgot to look...are they showing people at Ponderosa yet? Or when they put the white flag up they go home?
Gosh this goes so fast. Good night everyone! Jackie, thank you so very much! Hope everyone had a wonderful week!
Thanks for coming by!
See you all next week!! Bring snacks for two shows!!
SueGee - No Ponderosa -- they're all on Extinction
Only two have gone home out of all of them so far. That's nowhere near actual normal jury member numbers at Ponderosa.
Thanks Jackie and everyone for the company. Will see you for next week's double header!!!
Did David match the idol with Eric or Rick? I thought Rick had the half. Totally wasted but they flushed it out.
Wow, I just watched the episode. Julia did herself in. WOW!! I just wish they had gotten Ron. I just do not like him. I kind of feel sorry for Julia, but WOW!!
