Survivor 40: Winners at War - April 29 Blog Party


Will Tony be able to keep up the momentum of the past few weeks? I certainly hope so -- he's not only a fellow New Jersey person, but he's also so entertaining! 

I'll be updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. 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!

Here is the Lovely Lifeguard Laurie's latest blog pool update:

Ben Driebergen - Rbennie, Shannon
Denise Stapley - Becky, Jennifer
Jeremy Collins - Sharon N
Kim Spradlin-Wolfe - Dr_Celine
Michele Fitzgerald -Terry is a Texan
Nick Wilson - Barbara BW, Judi Sweeney
Sarah Lacina - SueGee, Cheryl in NC
Tony Vlachos - Karen in CA, Donna in Alabama

Extinction Island
Adam Klein - Lifeguard Laurie, Petals
Amber Mariano - Delee, Glenn Allen
Danni Boatwright - Jennasmom
Ethan Zohn - Rochelle, Jackie
Natalie Anderson - Nana in the NW

Parvati Shallow - Donna in FL
Rob Mariano - Auntie Leigh

Sophie Clarke - ChicMc
Tyson Apostol -Janice
Wendell Holland - Nickelpeed, PDX Granny
Yul Kwon - Ed in Ohio

Survivor fans ready?


Jeremy is ticked that he was targeted. Kim is ticked at Tony because she thinks he betrayed her trust. Ben isn't quite on the Trust Tony Train. He wants Jeremy out. 

Tony thinks he's in trouble. It's time for another undercover action! He's in a spy nest up in a tree. Only Sarah knows about it. She cautions him to be careful. Even though Jeremy remains a target, Kim starts a move to make the move to oust Tony. It seems a large contingent agrees Tony should be the next out. 

Or ... is it just the edit?

On Extinction, they have another grueling opportunity to earn fire tokens. Adam, almost predictably, is not doing well. Oh noes! Rob fell and "cracked" elbow, giving up. Sophie and Natalie are the best at it.  Despite his injury Rob ended up doing it with one arm. They all earned fire tokens, fewer for slower finishes.

Back at camp, Nick thinks he needs to make big moves. Lots of idol hunting going on. Oh, geez. Ben finds an idol right in front of Tony yet he tries to hide it from Tony. Now Tony knows that Ben can't be trusted. Tony calls them on it and they seem to make amends. But Ben is still considering going with Kim to vote out Tony.

Immunity Challenge time -- stand on narrow perch, balancing a bucket with arm tethered. Two winners, one male and one female. Two tokens each. Jeremy drops, Ben out due to touching the structure. Sarah drops. Nick tries to bribe Tony with the offer of a fire token. After 15 minutes, Jeff tries to bribe them with food. Kim goes for it. Michele goes for it. Nick gets Tony to offer him a token. Chocolate, peanut butter, cookies and milk.

DENISE AND TONY WIN IMMUNITY!

Now they all seem to be concentrating on once again targeting Jeremy. Ben tells Tony that Kim and company were talking about blindsiding him but he won Immunity. Tony knows Nick is lying to him. Tony does not want Jeremy to go now. Sarah thinks they need to stick with the numbers and vote out Jeremy. Tony goes to Ben trying to save Jeremy. Michele plans to write down Jeremy's name but give him her advantage. Since the edit is so focused on Jeremy going, he probably won't.

Tribal Council - Denise compares the return to camp after the last tribal to bad family therapy despite the calmness of the events prior to the vote. All kinds of whispering going on. 

The tally -- Tony tries to play his idol for Sarah, She declines. Jeremy plays nothing and declines Tony.

Jeremy, Kim, Jeremy, Jeremy, Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim

Buh-bye, Kim.

Two hours next week!

Hi Jackie and everyone who follows,

Petals said...

~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~

Hello Ms Jackie, crazy Vincent & everyone!

I have STELLA!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie, thank you for giving us some isolation relief.

Hi Glenn and Petals.

Petals said...

Why is it Tony's responsibility to protect Sarah's game? I've never liked her.

Nickelpeed said...

I really don't blame them for being mad, but it was a great blindside.

Petals said...

Hey Pennypenny!

Re isolation - I go back to work 5/18. A month earlier than expected. The mayor has advised against it...everyone is freaking out.

The moleman said...

That it was

SueGee said...

Howdy to Jackie & Vincent Petals, Nickelpeed & Glenn and anyone I missed while typing.

Husband's birthday tonight so will be finishing up his dinner but the cake is all done!

Squeegee

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Petals and Penny . Tony made people mad
Now Tony's Spy nest.d

Petals said...

Happy Birthday Mr Squee!

Petals said...

I don't remember liking Tony before, but I do now! LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Moleman and Suegee.

Joe in NY said...

HI folks

tbc said...

Hi all!
Pinot grigio and Riesling on the side table along with the brownies I made! Shelter in place and eat, right?? Lol

Joe in NY said...

I've always found Tony amusing.

I think he would drive me crazy if I were out there with him. But he's always been fun to watch.

Glenn Allen said...

Happy Birthday to your hubby Suegee.

The moleman said...

Hi

monty924 said...

Hi Jackie - everyone! I spread out a full taco bar with margaritas over at the bar. ENJOY

monty924 said...

Happy Birthday to your hubby SueGee

Petals said...

Hi Joe!

MONTY!

Petals said...

Agree Joe (re Tony).

See? This would be fun for the next 15yrs...

monty924 said...

Hey Petals...

tbc said...

Wish we could do a drive by birthday caravan for your husband, SueGee

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi Everybody! Jeez they have more people on Edge of Extinction then whats left in the actual game.

Petals said...

I totally relate to Adam, bwhahhaa

monty924 said...

Awww, bad break for Rob! :(((

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC and Joe, Tonys spying reminds me of a college retreat where one of my fellow soldiers who had just finished airborn school hid underneath the water at a pond. He used a straw to breathe through. He then as a canoe of friends went near him he popped out of the water and scared them.

Petals said...

oh nooooooo

SueGee said...

Save it for next wednesday tbc - mine's next week!

Nickelpeed said...

Oh no!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Monty, moleman, SueGee, Ed, Joe, tbc

Petals said...

Poor Rob

tbc said...

Oh good, SueGee! A big caravan with balloons and banners!

Petals said...

I'm serious - WHY/HOW/WHERE does Sarah get off being angry at someone for "ruining her game"? NO one owes her the win?!!!!

monty924 said...

Hi Homie

monty924 said...

I love Tony's spy shacks, lol

Petals said...

OOOOO Ben was totally trying to hide it.

How is it possible that I love Tony now? HHAHAAAA

Nickelpeed said...

Drat, I didn't want Ben to find it.

Petals said...

Tony is SUCH a cop, lol

monty924 said...

Love the subtitles too, lol

Petals said...

I think I used to like Ben, but I don't

Ed in Ohio said...

It's all about Tony so far.

Glenn Allen said...

This challenge was hard. It was good to see Rob didn't quit. That was funny Ben trying to hide the Idol.

monty924 said...

What in the world are we going to do this summer? All of us??? :(((

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Monty.

Ed in Ohio said...

Hey Homie!

Nickelpeed said...

I'm not a Ben fan, Petals. I think he'll turn on a dime. You can't tell him anything. They won't vote Tony out, it's too obvious. I think they'll target Jeremy of Sarah. But who knows.

Joe in NY said...

You expect Survivor to be on for another 15 years, Petals?

tbc said...

I know, Monty. My daughter just turned to me and said, “I don’t think we’re getting a Big Brother this year”

Ed in Ohio said...

I agree Penny Tony seems too obvious.

monty924 said...

Hey Glenn

monty924 said...

Parv is good at this one but she isn't playing

Joe in NY said...

I'm thinking Sarah.

Ed in Ohio said...

His & Hers Immunity

Petals said...

I wasn't talking about Survivor, Joe. But maybe? Sure, why not? I'm sure no one expected it to last 20 years!!!!

monty924 said...

Go Tony

Glenn Allen said...

I like the new version This challenge is a lot harder now.

Petals said...

I see Denise or Kim winning

Joe in NY said...

Denise is always very good at the ones that take concentration. She's intense.

Joe in NY said...

Kim feels awfully confident doesn't she.

Nickelpeed said...

Jeff is so vile to do that. LOL

Petals said...

TOny Wins!

Ed in Ohio said...

3 in a row for Tony

Petals said...

Vote out Ben or Sarah!

Joe in NY said...

now they will definitely target Sarah since they can't go after Tony

Nickelpeed said...

If they were thinking about voting him out, they lost that chance.

Denise is one tough woman. She's the oldest out there and she wins.

Glenn Allen said...

Would Tony play an Idol to save Sarah if needed?

Nickelpeed said...

I think they'll target Jeremy and Sarah. Although they had been thinking about Kim at one time.

Ed in Ohio said...

The ones who dropped must 'feel safe' or they're really hungry. (or both)

Nickelpeed said...

I would love to see them blindside Ben. Too bad Tony has immunity.

Nickelpeed said...

I don't know how Kim would feel safe. They've targeted her before.

Petals said...

Denise is tough

Poor Jeremy.

Nickelpeed said...

See, he can't keep anything to himself. He tries to foil everything.

tbc said...

Hmmm

Joe in NY said...

Ben just can't keep a secret.

Nick's a horrible liar.

Tony now has a chance to flip the script.

Petals said...

Being a cop sure does have an edge in this game, huh?

Petals said...

and think of the stories we could tell, Joe

monty924 said...

Worked for derrick too in BB :)))

Ed in Ohio said...

That peanut butter & chocolate could prove to be expensive!

tbc said...

Tony don’t use that immunity on anyone else!!

Nickelpeed said...

I hope someone joins Kim and saves her. They need to blindside someone...Ben or Sarah.

Nickelpeed said...

Why can't these people keep their mouths shut?

tbc said...

I hope it’s Sarah, Penny

Petals said...

I'm pretty particular about my food; it would have to Jif Creamy only, or I wouldn't want it.

Yes - even on a desert island. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I can't remember, what did Jeremy do to Ben?

Petals said...

Agree Teeb & Penny - get rid of Sarah!

Joe in NY said...

The problem with being mouthy like Ben is they could decide he needs to go because he's the weak link.

I'm hoping they take down Kim. She was too confident.

monty924 said...

Yes, Petals... Jiff or nothing!

tbc said...

Lol Petals, “Jeff, is that Jif creamy? Otherwise I’ll struggle”

Joe in NY said...

It seems like Kim or Jeremy. The only other way I see it going is Ben

Nickelpeed said...

I like Kim, though, Joe. Ben, Tony and Sarah are very confident, too. They've been after Kim a few times.

Nickelpeed said...

They've done so many blindsides, I'd be surprised if it's someone who knows they're in trouble.

Nickelpeed said...

Gosh, the hour is almost up. Where does the time go???

monty924 said...

I wouldn't trust Kim either if I were there. She ran/dominated her season. Wasn't even close.

Glenn Allen said...

Does the Coin Flip have to be done before votes revealed or after?

The moleman said...

Couldn't have said it better myself!

jennifer said...

Hi everyone! Super late, just wanted to say a quick Hello!

Petals said...

Hey gramma!

jennifer said...

That’s where I was at!! Love it!

tbc said...

Out of control

Petals said...

ugh! I hate this stuff

Ed in Ohio said...

Too much whispering at tribal this season for me

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, all this whispering.

The moleman said...

Big time!

jennifer said...

This is just the craziest thing! Are the hamsters going to do this when big brother comes back? Lol

Ed in Ohio said...

Can't make up there minds!

Petals said...

these tribals are killing me.

Ed in Ohio said...

^their

Nickelpeed said...

I hope they blindside. Are they blindsiding Michelle???

monty924 said...

Wow, Denise............ balls

Petals said...

I have no idea what is going to happen, but I am afraid for Jeremy

Petals said...

Ed - ditto, brother! I can't stand all the last-minute scrambling

Petals said...

oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

tbc said...

Crazy!!!

Petals said...

What the CLUCK?!?!?!

jennifer said...

What is happening?!?

Nickelpeed said...

Dang.

Joe in NY said...

LOVE THAT!! So much chaos

monty924 said...

Tony is running this season, lol

Petals said...

WOW, whew! Shoulda been Sarah, but...

Joe in NY said...

And they managed to save all the idols.

Nickelpeed said...

I wish he weren't monty. I'd like to see a mix up.

jennifer said...

Whoa! Have a wonderful week everyone 🤗

The moleman said...

Awesome! That's a vote i can get on board with!

Joe in NY said...

That episode really changed everything. Kim going weakens that little clique. Nick is now exposed. Jeremy and Tony's relationship is strengthened.

Can't wait for next week!

monty924 said...

That tribal was brilliant!!

Well, I'm off to bake some brownies.

Everyone take care and stay safe. Thanks Jackie!!

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. This is greatly appreciated. Have a safe week and weekend, everyone.

Glenn Allen said...

Does Michelle get her %0 50 coin back from Jeremy? This season is crazy.

Ed in Ohio said...

G'Nite All!

Thanks Jackie!!

Jackie S. said...

Thanks for coming by! Stay well, everyone!

Nickelpeed said...

But, Joe. The guys have a little clique, too.

2 hours next week???

Petals said...
