Survivor fans ready?
It's after Tribal and Dean is grateful to Kellee for saving him. Noura is stirring the pot. Kellee feels that Noura is setting her up for disaster with Jamal. After all, Jamal's sidekick Jack was the cost of her play AND Jamal wasted his idol by using it on Noura. The idol search in on.
Kellee found an idol! Woot!
Now the merge is about to start. Of course, it starts out with the feast. Will original alliances re-ally?
Oh my. Some of the women are getting really ticked at Dan touching them inappropriately. It's several of the women upset with him. I would be upset, too. I so hate unwanted touching!
Lauren out, then Dan. Jamal out. Elaine out. Karishma, then Janet, then Dean out. Noura out. Tommy out. AARON wins the mens immunity!
Elizabeth out.
AARON AND MISSY WIN INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
Janet, Jamal and Karishma are worried they will be targeted. Tommy tells Janet she needs to vote for Jamal. She's still thinking she might need to play her idol. It will be in her pocket.
Tribal Immunity time.
Jeff asks how things were after the last tribal. Janet says that she thought everyone was voting for Dan. Missy brings up that Janet brought her name up first. Whoa. People are still throwing Janet under the bus. Aaron calls her out and claims she could have ruined Dan's life. Jamal speaks up for Janet. Dang, Jamal is a gem. Dan apologizes if he ever did anything. Now Janet is crying thinking she's hated and should go home.
Finally it's time to vote.
Janet plays her idol!
The tally --
Janet, Janet, Karishma, Karishma, Karishma, Jamal, Jamal, Jamal, Jamal, Jamal
Ack! Another player I was really liking this season. Bye, Jamal.

Tommy is pushing for a Kellee first vote out in the merge. Oh noes!
Immunity Challenge time! Table with three balls on top. when you move it it lowers, when all balls fall off, you're out.
Noura is out first, then Kellee. Dean out. Janet out. Elaine out. Lauren out. Dan out. Karishma out. Tommy out. Missy out. Elizabeth out. It's between Aaron and Jamal.
AARON WINS THE FIRST INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
It looks like Kellee is the main target this week. Tommy and Lauren are pushing it. Dean is not keen on it -- after all, Kellee saved him. Jamal would like to make a move on Dan going. Hmm … but several are thinking Missy is the target and Dan vote is just smoke and mirrors.
Well, at least we won't go into Tribal sure of who will be going home.
Kellee thinks there's another idol on this beach. She has the one from her old beach. She's searching. YES! She now has TWO idols! She thinks she might have to play one tonight.
Tribal Council time and they are talking of trust. Is it a bigger factor than deception? Tribal lines? Will Lairo fall?
The tally -- Kellee does not play an idol
Dan, Kellee, Dan, Kellee, Dan, Kellee, Dan, Kellee, Dan, Kellee, Kellee, Kellee
GAH! She had two idols and I thought she was a smart player. Bye, Kellee!
Janet feels betrayed by the girls voting out Kellee instead of Dan. Lauren thinks she herself thought the reason to vote Dan out because of the touching issue. She talks to Dan about the touching issue. He talks to the women and explains that he had no bad intentions. They pretty much lie to him saying that Janet was lying about them complaining. They're painting Janet as a snake which isn't totally true. They were complaining about Dan!
Missy and Aaron go off looking for idols. Janet follows them. She's thinking that they will be targeting her next. She finds the idol! Hopefully she won't go home with it in her bag!
Jamal and Karishma find a note -- he could reach it, so he got it. A trip to the Island of the Idols but he can't open the note until he gets there.
He opens the note after the meeting with Rob and Sandra. Oops -- he lost his vote at the next tribal. The lesson is sabotage. Sandra gives him a blank note and a pencil. What can he do with it? Then he's headed back. He wrote a fake legacy advantage. He tells them he played a game that caused him to lose his vote but won an advantage. He gives it to Dean as an olive branch. Dean thinks all it does is paint a target on his back.
People are realizing that Jamal deliberately targeted Dean and it might just backfire on Jamal.
Time for the Immunity Challenge. Hold onto a handle over the water. Jeff lowers them, fall in the water and you're out. Two will get Immunity -- a man and a woman will win.
Noura is out first, then Kellee. Dean out. Janet out. Elaine out. Lauren out. Dan out. Karishma out. Tommy out. Missy out. Elizabeth out. It's between Aaron and Jamal.

1 – 200 of 220 Newer› Newest»Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you, again, Jackie for giving us a place to talk.
I at least have my CBS station back now. It's not my CBS affiliate, but at least I have CBS. For some reason, I have Channel 19 out of Cleveland. I live in Dayton!! LOL
Hi Jackie!! Hi to all who jump on🤗....
I’m on the jury, ready to relax and observe lol
~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~
Hey Jackie, Vincent & Everyone!
Hey Ms Penny!
Howdy to everyone!! Just picked up a nice hot combination pizza with the thin crust and a big salad. Dig in!!
Hey Jenn!
OMG!! Poor Kellee. Now, she's going to be targeted.
Wow,,,, mouth hanging open... Noura...... she is .... no words
Squeeeeeg! YUM! I am having Stella & Xanax (rough day), so pizza is gonna hit the spot!
I reeeeeallly don't like Namaste Noura
she found one!? Do we like her?
I do :)
My Pool Girl Kellee Just got outed by Noura. It Looks like 2 Hours tonight. Hi Jackie and SueGee and Petals and Penny and Jennifer and everyone. Now my Pool Girl found an Idol before merge.
Hi Jen, Petals, SueGee
Random thoughts... we all know the smell must be bad, do you think they think that when go in for group hugs lol
Hi folks
Hi Glenn, at least she has an idol now.
Vokai still has the numbers they might need kellee for a vote or two to go up two or 3 members before dealing with her!
Hi Petals, Sue Gee, Joe, Glenn and Nickelpeed
Hi Joe
Jackie - you are getting a weird font on you postings........
Hi moleman
If they go swimming they probably don't smell as bad as you think
Hi Joe. That is true Penny.
Any better now, Sue?
Hi
Hi Moleman. It will be interesting to see what alliances form. Who has an Idol now besides Kellee
Hey Joey! & Mole!
I think the smell is, like, something they get used to. They ALL are nasty.
(or maybe what we don't know is that they MAY give the chicks hygiene wipees or something. You know what I mean?)
what's creepier is that the tall girl has sand stuck on her eyes...how can she stand that? ACK
Black stripes with white type is what I'm seeing, starting with the word Jury
oh geeeminy - "inappropriate touching". @@ Survivor is losing me. What he's doing is NOT harrassment.
Tommy now wants Kellee out because Kellee didn't go along with his plan.
Hi all!
I know someone who actually just went to Harvard b/c her parents paid HUGE fees. She just decided to go to Harvard Law on a lark (her parents are v wealthy). She is not that smart, just that connected. So Harvard does NOT necessarily equal brains.
TEEEBBBBB!!!! hey!
what they're doing is potentially v harmful to him outside the game...does anyone realize this?
Don't think anyone else does sonce jamal used his!
hi tbc
Hi Glenn!
Hi everyone. I probably won't comment often tonight. I'm in a COLD medicine induced fog.
Love your avi, Petals. Gretchen and Sebastian looking adorable as always! ♥♥
wow - this is a first. Ridiculous!
Hope you feel better soon Monty!!!
Vokai needs to stick together at least for this one vote
Any better now Sue?
Is this type of PSA a first?
All better now Jackie!!
Hi TBC. Is this a first a player getting a warning from producers for inappropriate touching?
Hi Monty. I hope you feel better.
Random thought: I wonder if they ever considered going straight to the merge and an eviction instead of a party
Hi Jackie, Petals, Jennifer, Penny, Glenn,tbc, Suegee, Moleman, & Joe. I'm s bit behind. but with commercial breaks I'll catch up. Ready to see how it all goes with the merge tonight.
If they kick dan out then it would be 7-7!
I'm somewhat confused about the Dan behavior. I mean, I get the whole CBS "Me, too" shout out. But where was this discussion/viewpoint in the first 20-odd days? What did we/I miss?
Friend! I love that pic, it's from last year.
Hi Monty! Hope you feel better soon!
Hi Monty!!!
haahahahaha Kelly out.
Don’t skip the PSA 🤗
This looks tough!
My Pool girl Kellee could be in trouble and might not know she might need her Idol.
how do they come up with all these new challenges??
JAMAL!
Don't know if they should if 7-7 karishma might flip back to lairo its risky!
I think they might go after Kellee.
Very impressive.
I think Kelle should leave, since she is so effing uncomfortable! grr
This is a cool challenge. Love the way they keep it new a fresh on Survivor.
that one guy looks like Kristoff St John (soap actor)
Wow.
1000%? Harvard? See? Not so smart.
I thought that! So sad what happened
Something about Kellee's smugness is rubbing me wrong tonight. That talk with the confessional/producer seemed over acting imo. She turned it off immediately when they mentioned talking with him. Now she's being cocky about getting Missy out. Wouldn't mind seeing her go.
Yes, Petals, Arron does look like Kristoff.
That was a hard challenge. It was very creative.
Well, I think Kellee will be targeted, monty.
Kass's prediction looking good so far!
Ooops, I guess I should spell it, Aaron.
Moleman, you talking about Kass from Survivor?
I think there's a lot we don't see this season because they make room for the Rob/Sandra segments. They've even given up the actual opening to the show. I would guess that if five women complained, there could very well be something to it. I myself really cringe away from unwanted touching, male or female.
^5 Monty !
PS - Alabama not in the finals for the first time in umpteen years. GO FOR IT BUCKEYES!
Would they really vote out kellee and let lairo even it up?
Oh there ball balancing challenges are hard.
Kellee Dan and Missy have all been mentioned.
so we have the Den Mother... this has gone too far.
I wonder whether if there would have been any complaints if Dan were a 26 year old hard body.
oh thank God... reasonable
Ya she predicted an aaron victory!
LOL Joe
So now Kellee could really be in trouble. I hope she uses her idol if needed or find another idol.
James was voted out with two idols
Yes now Kellee has another Idol.
Ha! True!
That means she's going to get voted out with two idols in her bottom.
You really think they would target a vokai huh?
I am older, not super young & attractive, and I touch people. Not everyone, and NEVER in an inappropriate way, but a loving, older-chick-aunt-type way. I'd be mortified to learn that they were all skeeving me the way they are Dan. You know?
I don't know, moleman. It's all individual now, so, who knows.
Penny - from your fingers to the Survivor gods ears
Think she should use one tonight Eventhough i don't think they have the guts to vote out a vokai member tonight!
How is Jack on the jury when they were still 2 separate teams?
Yay caught up. I think Kelley should burn one tonight...just in case.
That i can't understand!
We've been told at work to never, ever touch any one. I am a touchy person. I'll put my hand on their shoulder or arm. I've had to stop that because people get angry. I've also had to stop calling young kids, honey. It's a habit, but some parents do not like it.
It's happened before Penny. A jury member before merge, I mean.
I think Kellee should use one of her idols. I think she's going to be in trouble. I'd like her to blindside someone.
what an unusual mix of players this season, huh?
Monty, really? I guess my old age is catching up with me.
I agree Kellee should play a idol just in case.
Come on Kellee, bring out one of the idols! You need it!!
{Dan had on a Bandaid! I think they get a lil help from production when it comes to hygiene/health}
Penny, I am the same way. I work in a daycare and call the kids sweetheart all the time
I think they are going out all the way with these commercials. Way too many.
Penny I just saw you said you got CBS back but not your old station.
I don't know why, but I'm not really connecting with any one player that is a favorite of mine. I like a few, but no stand outs for me personally wise.
tbc, I'm just used to calling kids honey, or even sweetheart. I've only had one parent ask me to not do that. When that happened, I became very conscientious about what I said. I'm a friendly person, but I've had to pull back on it. Times have changed.
Ut oh
ditto Jenna. But I do have some that stand-out as UNfaves, LOL
Oh, Kellee
OMG! Watch her leave with two idols. Dang it!!
I hope Kellee did not make a mistake
Well Kellee ate you going home with 2 idol's?
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
ate, are
Times have changed, Penny!!
She did it... went out with two idols. That's what I meant about smug.
Yep dummy...seriously a dummy!
DOGGONE YOU KELLEE. They're leaving right and left with idols in their pockets.
Kellee out with 2 Idols. That was dumb.
Jenna, I agree, no real connections yet
Ya that was really dumb think dean might be next!
When they showed Kellee so much, I knew she'd go home. Too much air time.
So, she was comfortable voting out Kellee for the same reasons she wasn’t comfortable voting out Dan??
see? That is how smart is Harvard: voted-out home with 2 idols!
This is a "very special episode of Survivor". I love the long white braid chick. Thank goodness reason prevailed.
I hate that Survivor has come to this petty nonsense.
Thank you Ms Jackie! I will be visiting your site Friday to donate to the pool, sorry it's been so late) I appreciate all you do!
Love you all! xoxox
That is one of production's "tells"
WAIT, WOAH! Two hours.
Jackie - what I wrote stands...I'm back for the 2nd hour.
heehee
OMG! Now they are all walking it back. This undermines the entire "Me, too" movement.
And now they are blaming Janet?!?!?!? These people are reprehensible
Glenn, our local CBS tower was damaged. It's 1000 feet tall. With all the rain and high winds, they could not climb it. So, Directv and Dish decided, instead of going for another week without CBS, they'd reach out to other CBS affiliates so their patrons would have CBS. Well, we got a Cleveland station. With Columbus and Cincy so close, I'm just wondering why they'd go all the way to Cleveland. LOL. We just can't watch CBS for local news. LOL
The whole thing top to bottom is bull!
Guess vokai thinks karishma is a lock, but she may flip back to lairo if the situation presents itself!
I’m not sure I’m going to watch the rest of this season.
I thought the same thing, Joe. They walked it back. These younger women are such snakes. Now they'll target her. Why do they think they're sleeping in one area and Dan in another.
I hope Janet finds an idol.
Lol, now Janet has an idol!!
YES!! But even if she stays, these young people will come after her. They have to remember jury placement.
Woot woot Janet!
Good for her.
I'm worried they are focusing on her, showing too much of her. When they did that to Kellee, Kellee was voted off.
Cool Penny. I am glad you got CBS that way at least. I am glad Janet found an Idol.
Janet is a jury threat if she makes it that far! Should want to target dean, ELAINE, or aaron well see though!
Thinking the same thing.
CBS with that message could be ruining Dan's life. That was crazy the note to get to the Island of the Idols.
That was funny.. How did you pop out of my TV screen?
Oh, damn!!
I was wondering what Rob and Sandra were up to lately...
Jamal is a non threat but not very well liked he needs to take any advantage he can get!
My pool person, Jamal, is doing well so far... good. #firsttime
If you all have an elderly parent or grandparent, make sure they know not to give out any information to people who ask. The big thing going on right now is people calling and saying so and so is losing their social security. Then they ask for the social security number.
Reason why I say this is because my mother in law has dementia. She got one of those calls. She thinks she gave them her social security number. She doesn't remember. So now we're all scrambling to make sure her credit is frozen. It's been a pain.
Don't eat that Dean
Dean kind of not falling for it...
That was not a good move for jamal!
Game or no game harrasment has no place anywhere why are the girls pretraying that there was no problem that's the worst kind
Everyone watched
I've gotten two of those calls knew it was B S right away just hung up and warmed all my elders like you said, and the teems who have phones. Your so right, lots of ppl falling for it.
I wonder why no one is telling that Boston Rob and Sandra there? They all are using the 50 50 game story.
Oh that's hard!
Great new challenge! These are better than the "get nekked for Reese's" stuff.
Hmmmm... interesting challenge... need to have some strength for sure!
this is nearly medieval
Jenna, my MIL has dementia. She can't remember what she said or did 5 minutes before. We have told her over and over again to not give out information, ever. She forgets. When the guy said she will lose her social security, she panicked. We've told her that government agencies will NEVER call. They send letters. My SIL and BIL got a device that blocks all calls except those she knows. It's just a matter of time to put the names it. It's been a pain. No matter how often we tell her things, she forgets.
Elizabeth should do well. As an Olympic Champion she should be use to holding onto the blocks.
Haven't they had something similar in the past?
Missy has really long arms.
Wow the Swimmer out on a challenge of holding the block.
I'm with you Anonymous!
Penny I know they do it on Big Brother. They have had some leaning challenges before on Survivor.
Absolutely! She might not want to put a target on her back, but lairo dosent have the numbers!
That's definitely hard to keep something like that happening to those suffering with dementia. So sorry your having to go through this.
Oh my girl Elisabeth may be in trouble!
Another island of the idols person getting targeted.
Fake claims of harassment are no better than harassment. The whole story makes it unclear whether anything untoward happened. Their initial complaint and then their walking back the complaint make it problematic for me.
I've got something funny to tell. Tonight, we had Chili. I eat mine with totilla chips. After I was done, I placed my plate on the counter. There were still some chips on it. I sat back down. I heard something hit the floor in the kitchen. We go running in there; and our dog Kale had pulled the paper towel down, which released the chips. Now, the funny part. That paper towel had a bowl on it. He pulled it out without pulling down the bowl. I've got a magician dog. LOL
OMG! She better use her idol tonight.
Don't know about that think they might want to get rid of a lairo!
Ditto Joe. ♥ you.
So dang arrogant.
AGT here you come! Lol
Ha!
Agree!
Same here, Joe. They walked it back; and that made it worse.
Love you Jamal!
Those who think they're in charge are very smug. Maybe they need an attitude adjustment.
Jamal said it well.
This should have come out before. Not happy I’m with this...
Yep
*about
How many times can my eyes roll? Not enough for THIS display!
the words they are throwing about? UNACCEPTABLE
I need the Reunion show. LOL. Dan is suddenly the face of harassment and no one has yet been able to articulate what exactly he did other than possibly touch Kellee's hair when she was complaining about it being sandy...
Yep, Petals. Since it was out in the public, on tv, of course they had to agree with her. This drives me nuts sometimes.
Is anyone else upset that they are frying Dan for nothing? His career, marriage etc could potentially be ruined by this kangaroo court - does anyone else care?
oh my, agree with you Petals, my eyes hurt from rolling!
The "me too" movement was initially about women being sexually abused in the workplace which absolutely is a serious thing. It has gotten out of hand now. Can't give a compliment these days without being accused of doing something wrong. Can't touch someone's arm without someone screaming "me too". Its gotten out of hand. It's taking away from the initial very serious issue. Just my two cents. What happened in this episode tonight was blown way out of proportion.
Keller is jealous lol
Don't want Jamal to go Darn
