I hope everyone is staying safe and well. I've battened the hatches here as my area has been getting hit very hard with COVID-19.

Will the remaining castaways be more psyched for the win now that they've had their family visits? In a side note, I saw that Sandra too got a family visit.

Survivor fans ready?


Jeremy left Tribal using his advantage, so is back at camp awaiting their return. He's upset that his "meat shield" Tyson is out again. His move did save his skin in the game, but left his allies to the wind.

Tony thinks he's playing smarter but it's time to go idol hunting. Oh, geez. Nick shows up so Tony sends him off to an area he had already searched. And he finds one while trying to contain his glee.

They must need filler this week. Sarah has started her own line of clothes. She's trying to create runway models. Tony likes Jeremy but feels he must go. He talks to Jeremy as he goes undercover. I realize many aren't huge Tony fans but I get a kick out of him. But Tony's act with Jeremy might be getting bought by Jeremy ... but not all.

Over on Extinction, Tyson thinks Adam will have a hard time. Natalie finds a wine bottle with a clue. She's sharing it with Parvati. They determine it's under the bed. It's an extortion advantage -- they could sell it to someone who  an target someone else to not only sit out of a challenge, but lose their vote.

TONY got it! Oh noes! He was gleeful until he finds it is being played against him and he needs to pay the extortion fee of six fire tokens. He only has three. He shows his new fake allies hoping to beg for tokens. Jeremy mistakenly trusts Tony and gives him one of his two tokens. Ben and Nick each give him one. 

Immunity Challenge time -- stand on narrow beam balancing a statue on a pole. Periodically, they will move back on the beam. Winner also wins two fire tokens.

Kim out. Denise, Michele out. Sarah out. Nick out. Sophie out. Ben out. Jeremy drops. TONY WINS HIS SECOND IMMUNITY IN A ROW! He once again wants to target Jeremy.

The consensus seems to be leaning towards voting out Jeremy but throwing a few votes to Michele in case he has an idol. Jeremy and his crew think they're targeting Ben. Now Tony is turning more towards a Ben ouster? Oh, wait ... now he's thinking Sophie! He gets Nick aboard. He thinks their four is stronger than the split vote for Jeremy/Michele. He went to Jeremy who's a bit leery about the whole thing. Tony is right that Jeremy is the target and could very well go home.

Tribal Council time. Jeff brings up two advantages and an idol played. Jeff refers to them as landmines as he talks to Ben. Jeremy talks about half-truths and the need to be careful who you trust. 

The tally: 
No idols are played.

Jeremy, Michele, Jeremy, Michele, Jeremy, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

Tony did it! Sophie is OUT! She gives her fire tokens to Sarah and Kim.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Well, don't know how, but my guy Jeremy continues to hang in there.
    Hope his fingernails can dig into that cliff edge.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I am loving this season and I enjoy watching Tony's exuberance. Maybe yall know why Russell wasn't there, he was the definition of winner out to win again. I'm sorry to hear Sophie got marooned on the island, but maybe the hometown girl Kim can get it done again (I live just outside of San Antonio). I'm in the house now and going to fire up the DVR.
