Survivor 40: Winners at War - March 25 Blog Party
Welcome to your favorite social distancing party -- one that started long before the virus hit! I hope you're all safe and well. As for the show, I can't help but think that because we're down to three small tribes, the merge will be coming soon. Perhaps next week?
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun!
The Luverly Lifeguard Laurie has updated the blog pool and here are the latest standings --
DAKAL
Denise Stapley - Becky, Jennifer
Jeremy Collins - Sharon N
Kim Spradlin-Wolfe - Dr_Celine
Tony Vlachos - Karen in CA, Donna in Alabama
SELE
Michele Fitzgerald -Terry is a Texan
Nick Wilson - Barbara BW, Judi Sweeney
Parvati Shallow - Donna in FL
Wendell Holland - Nic+F10:F30kelpeed, PDX Granny
Yul Kwon - Ed in Ohio
YARA
Adam Klein - Lifeguard Laurie, Petals
Ben Driebergen - Rbennie, Shannon
Sarah Lacina - SueGee, Cheryl in NC
Sophie Clarke - ChicMc
Extinction Island
Natalie Anderson - Nana in the NW
Amber Mariano - Delee, Glenn Allen
Danni Boatwright - Jennasmom
Ethan Zohn - Rochelle, Jackie
Tyson Apostol -Janice
Rob Mariano - Auntie Leigh
Sandra Diaz-Twine - tbc
Survivor fans ready?
We're starting out tonight on Extinction. Sandra tells them exactly how it went down with her. Whoa ... Sandra is already saying she will quit because Extinction just isn't for her. (Of course, those who leave before the filming is over actually stay in a nice hotel for the duration.) Sandra does indeed quit, saying she's still the queen and will always stay the queen, but she's gone.
On his tribe, Wendell is under the gun from Yul. Now Yul has a bit of distrust going on. Wendell bristles when Michele offers him advice. He didn't do that with Yul. Yul picked right up on that. How to win friends and influence people!
Back to Extinction and Ethan talks to us. It's depressing. He feels defeated and there's no hope. He says he just had a moment. Parvati pep talked him out of his incoming state of funk. He gets something with one scroll for each -- one clue for each. Four fire tokens scattered at the top of the island. They're all on the hunt.
Tyson finds the first one. Rob hides the fact that he found the other three.
Tony thinks he's sitting fairly pretty even without his ally Sandra in the game. He thinks Denise will be more of a target than he is. He doesn't realize that Jeremy thinks Tony is the biggest target. And, Kim thinks that Tony is more the odd man out. It looks like Tony is going to need them to win Immunity or the merge to come on to remain in the game.
While they're still celebrating peanut butter and jelly, Yara definitely has issues. They all think Adam has an idol. Adam is sure Sarah has an idol. Meanwhile. it's Sophie who has it. Adam is still convinced they're lying to him about neither Ben or Sarah having an idol. Silly boy. He continues to alienate himself.
Immunity challenge time, carrying large saucer, fill with water, run to fill well with water, puzzle.
YARA wins the first immunity! Dakal wins the second. Sele will be going to Tribal Counci, losing by perhaps a second. Yul tells us that Wendell may have dug his own grave. We'll have to wait and see.
Nick thinks Wendell screwed up the challenge by showboating and trashtalking. That's the same thing Yul said. Wendell tries to convince Michele to vote Yul. He thinks he can get Nick on board with that. Yul wants to backstab Wendell and get his fire tokens. Uh-oh -- that sets off red flags for Nick, thinking Yul wants to run everything. Whatever ... it will end up being Yul or Wendell.
It's off to Tribal a few minutes earlier than usual. What will go down? Yul tells Jeff he's smirking. Wendell says that the group made a decision. Jeff points out to Yul that he's the remaining old school. Yul says he's lied more in this game so far than he did his entire season. Then he talks fire tokens. Jeff brings up pre-existing relationships and Jeff brings up Michele/Wendell. Wendell says he wants to win and will work with anyone to get to the end. Now, that doesn't set all that well with Michele. Nick claims the four are his final four. He would come back and work with them. Wendell says no. Yul says it might be his only option.
Time to tally the votes. No idols played.
Yul, Wendell, Yul, Yul.
No real surprise, but I'm sorry to see him go.
And, yes ... the merge is on for next week.
~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~
ReplyDeleteHi everyone!! Hey Ms Jackie, Vincent! So good to be among friends this evening, YAY

Hi Jackie and everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Petals
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie!! Thank you for hosting us. It's greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi Petals!!
Oh happy dancing! Remembering Sandra being evicted!
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really wouldn't have mattered whether or not she gave Dennis her idol or not.
ReplyDeleteYep, she is going to tap out.
GO!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone!!
ReplyDeleteShe refuses to work or compete in a physcal challenge..wow... BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?
ReplyDeleteWow Sandra a quitter. Just like her sit out bench.
ReplyDeleteHey Jennifer, Penny!
ReplyDeleteHi jennifer
ReplyDeleteright Glenn? lol I love it.
ReplyDeleteQueen? My a**
~~~~SPLASH~~~~~~~ Still in the pool!!
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone! Not sharing my dinner tonight - who knows when I will get to the store again!
SqueeGee
Uh oh, Wendell is going to target Yul now.
ReplyDeleteEveryone’s comments about Sandra are spot on
ReplyDeleteHi all! I have a big pitcher of quarantini’s tonight. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYummy
DeleteHow is everyone doing?
ReplyDeleteOh Wendell, you won only because ONE person put your name down. Someone who was in your alliance.
ReplyDeleteTEEB!! Quarantinis! That is perfect!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee and tbc
ReplyDeleteHi Penny and Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a Quaratini!! I'm stir crazy!!
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for Ethan.
I wonder if there's a challenge to get back in to the game?
Hi SueGee and tBC
ReplyDeleteThey are great friends out of the game.
ReplyDeleteAny word on how the finale will go, got to think about social distances
ReplyDeleteEthan and parvati smiles are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTyson is really good at this. He finds items really easy.
ReplyDeletePortly chap. LOLOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to fly anywhere for anything right now! Finale might be via Skype or something
ReplyDeleteHere you go, Penny🍸
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm amazing
ReplyDeletePortly? wow.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe! xoxxo
ReplyDeleteNot even sure what they have planned for Idol with the live shows coming up
ReplyDeleteMy gosh!! Rob found them. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOU ROB
ReplyDeleteGood for Rob!
ReplyDeleteBoston Rob with 3 lol
ReplyDeleteHi Joe and moleman!!
ReplyDeleteHi
DeletePortly fellow didn't do too badly for himself, did he Tyson? You fat-phobic jerk
ReplyDeleteHow many tokens does Natalie have?
ReplyDeleteRob, being the portly lad is on fire!!
ReplyDeleteHi Everbody! Wow Rob killed it.....3 out of 4
ReplyDelete@ Petals - LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Petals
ReplyDeleteHey Squeeeee
ReplyDeleteHey Petals!
ReplyDeleteWho knows what the world we live in will be like come May? Around here it's really bad. 94 cases in a nearby nursing home. Cases almost doubling by the day here in town.
ReplyDeleteStay safe! The end is May?!?
DeleteHi ed!
ReplyDeleteSo is everyone doing well with the social distancing? Myself? I love being a shut-in. Agoraphobics everywhere UNITE!
May seems far away - but I already had to cancel our Retiree's group's Day at the Races May 8th. Of course the race track is closed and all the people are working from home...but they are supposed to start running races without people in the stands!
ReplyDeleteI work in dentistry, which is a super-high-risk industry. I was given the option of working 12 hrs/week or going on unemployment. Duh - unemployment won (pays more!) But you'd be surprised at the amount of patients who consider a recement crown an "emergency".
ReplyDeleteThe only difference between being retired and being required to stay home is that I miss going shopping!! And out to lunch!!
ReplyDeleteOne good thing is tennis: Roger had knee surgery and was gonna be out for months. Now EVERYONE is out and no one advances in the rankings. YAY (Silly, but it's the little things...)
ReplyDeleteHas everyone watched Tiger King on Netflix? Watch it...let's discuss!
I did and what a fantastic train wreck!!
DeleteJackie be safe.
ReplyDeleteMy pool Boy Adam is no dummy
ReplyDeleteOh another difference is that I still get paid! I feel sorry for people that got laid off. My son bought a new car last month but is still working for now...
ReplyDeleteYes, they are lying, Adam, but you're actually a paranoid jerk.
ReplyDeleteSorry if people like Adam. I'm not one of his fans. However, he is very smart.
ReplyDeleteStill no relief for renters in my state. If I don't pay my April rent, I'll get an eviction notice on 4/10. THAT chaps me, but I keep hoping my state's gov will step-up.
ReplyDeleteThey Postponed the Olympics until 2021.
ReplyDeleteNo Netflix here
ReplyDeleteoh man Jackie - it is NUTS, just NUTS!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow would have been opening day for my Cleveland Indians. Supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow it would have been nice. Had a lot of opening days in the past when it was cold & snowing.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, Jackie. Everyone stay safe.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are self isolated. Not really by choice, though. My work has been postponed. Since I work in the entertainment and sport industry, everything is on hold. My husband works on an Air Force base and they've gone to essential personnel only. The others have to work from home. It isn't easy to hook up a military computer to home wifi. So, he still gets up early and works until 4:30. Me, I'm bored.
Jackie - it's be worth it just to do a "free trial" then cancel after watching
ReplyDeletePetals, the governor here even got the big mortgage banks to give 90 day grace periods. Grace periods for rent etc are city by city for now
ReplyDeleteThe saucer is gonna be heavy!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a teacher, KS governor cancelled school for the rest of the school year, he is so bored. I’m at a hospital, so I’m essential.. good thing I think we would go crazy together, lol
Sue - you're lucky. I am still praying for governor to help.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Ed, I hope baseball is only postponed until the end of April. Poor NBA. No season at all. I feel so badly for NCAA and high school sports. All these senior lost their final year. No graduation. It's sad. NCAA sports were robbed. One of our local teams, UD, was rated #3 in the country; and they can't go further. I know it saves their lives, but they lose their year.
ReplyDeleteJenn - thank you for your service, girl!
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone... I just realized it was Wednesday @@
ReplyDeleteI tell you, Adam, Ben, Sophie and Sarah have worked well together well.
ReplyDeleteHi monty
ReplyDeletec'mon Yara
ReplyDeleteMonty , glad you made it!
ReplyDeleteThat was sooooo close!!
ReplyDeleteMONTY!! Have a Quarantini
ReplyDeleteThis working from home has my days all jumbled together
ReplyDeleteHey Monty!!
ReplyDeleteWill Michelle urn on Wendall??
ReplyDeleteWendall sucked at that puzzle
ReplyDeleteThat means they'll either vote out Yul or Wendell.
ReplyDeleteHe should have let someone else do the challenge.
ReplyDeleteMonty - Sandra quit. BWHAAAAA
ReplyDeleteThis Quarantini is marvelous... thanks Pal and thanks for messaging me, LOL
ReplyDeleteYea I hear ya' Penny!
ReplyDeleteWhat??? She raised the sail?
ReplyDeleteJennifer - stay safe. It's been so hard on medical workers. Thank you for what you do.
ReplyDeleteShe was never going to get back on a tribe anyway... sucks at challenges
ReplyDeletePetals, nobody should be evicted from their homes. It's not your fault you were forced to stay home. That was a state order. Hopefully, your Governor steps in.
ReplyDeleteWe have our fist confirmed case in the county next to mine
ReplyDeleteyeah, Monty. She heard that they had to work for food, etc. She checked-out. But declared herself "Queen" as she raised the surrender flag. LOL
ReplyDeleteWendell and Michelle are closer than the other two think.
ReplyDeleteYa and i think it can be beneficial if they just work together!
DeleteCrap, I bet it will be Yul. I hate that.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has been saying yul if sele lost: I'll believe it when i see it!
DeleteYep, it's going to be Yul. The last of the Old School. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how/when these magical Fire Tokens get played.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty. Yes Sandra pulled the flag.
ReplyDeleteHow fast things can flip!!
ReplyDeleteIt will be Yul... they'r taking out all the old school winners
ReplyDeleteNot clear yet!
DeleteHey, Glenn
ReplyDeleteHey SueGee
ReplyDeleteDang! Last week my 'fan fave' Parvati voted out, now it looks like my 'pool guy' Yul is next. These are the only 2 I'm rooting for. Oh well! :((
ReplyDeleteI think they're wrong in saying Yul will control everything. It's been pretty much Wendell controlling everything as of now.
ReplyDeleteMy brother is starting to watch it, Petals. He said all the memes would make since to me, LOL
ReplyDeleteI want Wendell to go...
ReplyDeleteWhy does he mention that. I hate Jeff sometimes. Bad boy!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL Monty. It's all fun & games until the last 15 seconds. IMO
ReplyDeleteThat smirk!!
ReplyDeleteSAVE YUL
ReplyDeleteEven though Wendell is my pool guy, I want him to go.
ReplyDeleteHi Homie
ReplyDeleteLast week @ tribal Yul barely spoke....now he might be talking too much.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a different Wendell.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Ed. He might have said too much.
ReplyDeleteNo clue who’s out!
ReplyDeleteYou can tell Jeff does not like Wendell. wow.
ReplyDeleteHi Homie! I'm a little distracted tonight. Been multi-tasking.
ReplyDeleteShe's so wishy washy sometimes. She'll make deals with everyone.
ReplyDeleteJackie - if you have the time, maybe we need to all get together to chat between shows? About nothing, anything? Another show? Just to keep us together & our spirits up?
ReplyDeleteJust an idea...
Come on everyone, vote Wendell....Please?
ReplyDeleteI'll only be suprised if it's nick!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI bet they boys all vote her out.
ReplyDeleteDamn
ReplyDeleteNoooooo!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteDoggone it all!! I was rooting for Yul. Dang it!!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteO.k.!
ReplyDeleteoh no
ReplyDeleteNo Old School left, I'm sad.
ReplyDeleteY’all stay safe, smart and hopeful 🤗
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie for a wonderful evening!! See y’all next week!!
They're killin' me!!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you Jackie! It's always so cool to party with friends, but especially now!
ReplyDeleteSTAY SAFE my loves.
XOXOXOXOX
Now I have to watch it from the beginning, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie, thanks Petals for messaging me and everyone stay safe and well. Wash your hands!!!
G'nite All! Stay safe & be Well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie!
Wish I didn't live in CA and have to wait 3 more hours to watch this. I never get to participate in the pool parties because if I do, the show is spoiled for me. It's really such a bummer. I would LOVE to be enjoying each week with all of you for both Survivor AND Big Brother. I hope it's Wendell going home but I'm leaving the party before I find out! Stay safe everyone - especially those of you in New York!! Prayers!
ReplyDeleteIf no merge and sele loses again then i think nick's in trouble!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie. Really, Really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, I'll see everyone next Wednesday!!
I Hope Old School comes back from extinction. Did Sophie get Youl's tokens?
ReplyDeleteI think so, moleman
ReplyDeleteI know i'm actually rooting for michele and nick and ben, think her best play is with her ex!
DeleteI can possibly set something up post-wise although right now I'm not really up to blogging another show. My vision and back issues make it difficult. But, let me know.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for coming and stay safe!
Ok merge, think michele, Wendell,and nick can add sophie, denise and jeremy, and mabye tony and sarah depending on who comes back!
ReplyDeletePetals, we can chat here all week if we want. I am in Cali so can never join the live blog either.
