Survivor 41: October 13 Episode Blog Party

 

Good evening! I hope everyone is doing well. Are you ready for another episode of this rather new-fangled twists season? I'm getting a bit befuddled with all these bizarre idol twists and walks through the countryside. I guess we'll find out tonight if Brad's now lost part of the three part idol will be re-hidden. I would think so. Otherwise three people won't get an idol each. We know how the show pushes the idols.

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! Survivor fans ready?

Ua - Coming back from Tribal. Genie feels all alone because Brad went and he was her only ally. She says she will not help them anymore. Shan tells her about Brad's advantage that he had kept secret from her (Genie). She ends up giving JD his advantage back.

Oh my ... we're already into the Immunity Challenge? Yikes! Oh. It's a pure Reward Challenge. First two tribes to finish -- 1st gets a local visitor who will aid them in how to survive. 2nd gets a fish. They have to toss a ball up and let it roll down a raised platform over their heads, run to catch it on the other side. Then they must dig to go under a pole. Then toss the balls on a beam to balance them.

GENIE made the final shot for Ua and they win. Yase wins second. And Luvu has their first loss. Heather is hysterically crying because she just couldn't get through the first part. Her tribemates are consoling her and trying to cheer her up. After all, it was just Reward.

Yase - They are loving their fish! Tiffany is actually (seemingly) thriving. They find a whole bunch of turtles. Baby ones, that is. They cheer the turtles on as the babies head to the ocean.

Ua - The local Nathan shows them how to climb coconut trees. It's a bit reminiscent of Ozzy. He gives them advice on catching fish. Uh-oh, now Ricard is thinking they don't need Genie again!

Luvu - Erika doesn't feel bad about losing ... she's just happy to be there. She observes that Sydney's emotions might be the downfall of the tribe. But when she voices her thoughts to Deshawn, it kind of puts her in the spotlight. Ohh ... he tells us he thinks she's sneaky. Deshawn runs to Sydney to tell her what Erika said about her.

Then Deshawn tells Danny. Now the target is on Erika if they lose. Heck, they're talking about throwing the challenge! Danny does not want to do that!

Immunity Challenge time. Race through water, collect three bags of logs, push through a tunnel, find key on one log, unlock the ring, toss three on pegs. Deshawn is going very slowly. He's retying the knots on the logs bags instead of untying. Heh, Naseer's efforts to win thwart Deshawn's efforts to lose.

Yase wins Immunity! And, despite Deshawn, Naseer wins the 2nd Immunity for Luvu. Ua will go to Tribal tonight.

Genie tells JD she is thinking of doing the Shot in the Dark, rolling the die. They lose their votes when they do that. JD thinks Genie should go because if she doesn't, it could very well be him. Shan wants to put Genie's focus on JD to protect Ricard. Oh my. What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. Oh geez ... JD falls for Shan's trust speech and lets her hold his advantage of the extra vote. What a gullible kid!

Tribal time! Jeff points out that Genie's body language seems exhaustion, defeat? She says she's playing from the bottom. She is sure the tribe is just placating her to keep her from using the Shot in the Dark -- which is another confusing thing introduced this season. Emotion is big on all of them.

JD votes Genie. No others shown.

The tally -- Genie, JD, JD, JD.

Oh, silly boy. His childhood dream blown in a minute. Not to mention, Shan still has his extra vote advantage for herself now. You KNOW she won't be fool enough to give it to someone to hold to prove their trust.
