Survivor 41: November 3rd Episode Blog Party

 


We were left with no Tribal Council and a cliffhanger last week on the show. Now, those who know me know I'm just going to have to go there -- we were left between a grey rock and a hard place. Heh.

While this season is moving along quickly, as it should seeing as it was filmed in 26 days rather than the usual 39, it's getting all kinds of convoluted up in here. I'm still not quite really understanding the twist they can pull at Tribal to save their butts (individually) but lose a vote. Until I see that one go down, I'll continue to be a bit befuddled. That's not even mentioning the three part idol between tribes and the various trips out to wherever with risks and rewards. Twist overload alert!

Now we have the latest. The tribes were issued random rocks consisting of five yellow, five blue and two grey. The two grey didn't participate in the Immunity Challenge. One (Naseer) joined the winning "team" -- Blue. The other grey rock person, Erika, had to go off to a sort of Exile Island. There Jeff met up with her and has given her a choice to break an hourglass to set time back so the other team wins (and she is safe) or to do nothing which would most likely leave her to be cast off.

And, there we are at the grey rock and hard place. Either way she choses she will make enemies. If she reverses the win, she alienates most of her previous tribemates. Of course, she was pretty much at the bottom of the pecking order there anyway. Tonight we will see her decision and someone will be cast off.

I don't know how long it will last, but here are the teams currently in play --

Yellow - Liana, Heather, Xander, Shan, Tiffany, (Erika?)

Blue - Ricard, Danny, Deshawn, Evvie, Sydney, Naseer

I will be updating this entry 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. I'd love to see you there! Let's get this show on the road!

We start out with all three of the sentence-saying idols in power. Liana reads her advantage about asking it someone has an idol and taking it. Gah. It's a ball of confusion!

Night 13 on Exile with Erika. A beautiful dawn on Day 14 after a stormy night. She's feeling renewed and will realize her true strengths. Hmm. She knows whatever she does some will not be happy with her.

All castaways are brought together in a challenge place when Jeff brings in Erika. At Jeff's prompting she explains that she could change history. Jeff explains that she could switch the game up. She decides to play for herself and changed history. Now the ones who didn't have to compete for immunity (Blue) do and Yellow can sit back being safe for the night.

The new bunch has to drop their buffs as they are not guaranteed a spot in the final eleven. 

Using feet only drop blocks, put in a three level circle with flag in middle.

RICARD wins Immunity! All will go to Tribal tonight and vote. However, the only ones who can be voted out are Evvie, Sydney, Deshawn, Danny and Naseer.

Day 14 after the challenge. Liana is thrilled -- she's safe and still can use her advantage (asking for idol). Danny is upset but Deshawn is taking it all pretty mellow. They start talking about Evvie being the target. Xander would be on board for that. Liana is not too happy with that as she thinks she can work with Evvie.

Huh? Xander promises Evvie his idol? Hmm. Evvie found out all about Liana's steal an idol and tells Xander. He knows that he has to have it in his possession for it to be stolen by her.

Ricard tells Erika they are thinking Evvie. Xander tells Danny that Evvie will be safe no matter what and about Liana's idol. He thinks that he's creating paranoia but doesn't realize that Liana is an ally of Danny's. She realizes that Tiffany told everyone.

Xander tells Liana in front of Evvie that he is playing the idol for Evvie and will have it with him until he hands it to her. Now Deshawn is worried that HE will be going home. Sydney wants to redirect any votes off of her. Liana is sure she will be taking the idol from Xander. We'll see about that.

They're heading to Tribal now.

So many people there, many who never were there before. Jeff is asking his typical questions. Will the Shot in the Dark come into play? Talk of relationships and trust now. Evvie gives Xander credut fir saving her. And, he does have it and is giving it to Evvie. Deshawn tells them that Evvie had told him about the idol.

Liana reads her advantage. HE HANDS HER A FAKE IDOL!!! Perfect! Tiffany has his real one!

Now the whispering starts. Will they target Sydney? Oh my. Deshawn's name is coming up, too. Danny is saying Evvie. 

Xander voted Deshawn. Erika voted Sysney. Danny uses his extra vote.

The tally ... Sydney is taking her Shot in the Dark. She sacrifices her vote. She is NOT SAFE. Eep. Evvie tells them not to play the idol for her.

Deshawn, Evvie, Sydney, Deshawn, Sydney, Deshawn, Evvie, Evvie, Sydney, Evvie, Sydney, Sydney.

Bye, Sydney. 

The rest have made the merge.

Jackie S. said...

Jackie S. said...

Yes, it was the right decision.

Jackie S. said...

Another quiet night? Hmm.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you for this, Jackie.

Hi Glenn.

OMGOSH! How funny! Don't know if I like this or not, but the look on DeShawn's face was fantastic. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Jackie, do all of them get to participate in the vote tonight, or just these guys?

Glenn Allen said...

This now makes it that you can not believe Jeff in the future if says you are safe or in Jury

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny!

Glenn Allen said...

Wow Ricard won Immunity

Jackie S. said...

All vote but only one of the five can be voted out.

Nickelpeed said...

Well one thing's for sure, on future Survivors, they'll all think twice about treating someone crappy.

There's more women than men, I wonder if they'll vote out a man tonight?

Jackie S. said...

I hope Naseer stays. His enthusiasm has grown on me.

Petals said...

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

Hi everyone!
Jackie- totally agree about Naseer - he's fun!

Petals said...

oops - I need a new avi

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals!!

Joe in NY said...

hi folks

Happy Belated Birthday, Jodie!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Petals. He needs to give the Idol to Evie in case he is asked if he has a Idol.

Nickelpeed said...

Well, Tribal will be interesting.

Jackie S. said...

Petals - He's not only fun but he is pretty good at the game, too. I only worry that he might be too trusting or naïve to play with some of these sharks.

Petals said...

true Jackie

Thanks Joe

Petals said...

Xan, Xan, Xan...what are you thinking?

Glenn Allen said...

This is a crazy episode.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe! I can see the Knowledge power can get wasted.

Petals said...

this is almost too crazy to follow.

Joe in NY said...

PLAYED!!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Awkward.

Joe in NY said...

There are no secret alliances after this...

Nickelpeed said...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Joe in NY said...

That was super smart. It saved the idol as well as forcing the other group to show their hand.

Jackie S. said...

Okay, Xander has taken a step up on my castaway ladder with that move.

Nickelpeed said...

Wowowowow

I love how they presume Evie has the idol.

Nickelpeed said...

Me, too, Jackie. Now, I wonder if Tiffany will give it back.

Petals said...

LOVE THAT!!

Jackie S. said...

I think she will. Xander is one of the few she can work with.

Nickelpeed said...

Okay, will it be DeShawn or Syd.

Nickelpeed said...

What a crazy tribal.

Glenn Allen said...

Wow what a Tribal,Should someone use Shot in Dark?

Joe in NY said...

Evvie is starting to look like an evil villain. LOL.

Joe in NY said...

That takes a vote away from Deshawn.

Petals said...

ddaaaannnggg

The stress!

Joe in NY said...

Sydney could have ended up voting herself out...

Glenn Allen said...

Wow Sydney Voted out

tbc said...

Great tribal!!

Nickelpeed said...

That's hard for Syd. She wasted her vote.

Petals said...

Thanks Jackie!!!

See you guys next week

Nickelpeed said...

Great tribal.

Thank you, Jackie.

See everyone next week!!

Jackie S. said...

Evvie ALMOST blew it for herself.

Jackie S. said...

Mike Barer said...

So Xander has emerged as both a frontrunner and a target.
