My blog pool pick got the boot last week, so I'm a free agent. Hmm. I'm not sure I have a personal pick this season. I'd like to see Xander do well but he has made a few foolish moves. I kind of like Danny, but he gets all paranoid. I don't care much for Ricard, but he is playing a good cut-throat game. However, I can see him being targeted for his game. I guess we'll see.
The blog pool is updated and here's where we stand:
Deshawn Radden - Kelsey NY, PDX Granny, Jlaf
Erika Casupanan - Petals, Pam Arceneaux, Margo
Heather Aldret - Debbie, Joanne Victoria
Liana Wallace - Terry is a Texan, ChicMC
Ricard Foye - Mikes Girl, GiLLL
Xander Hastings - Donna in FL, April

I will update this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings. As always, the real party is in the comments ... I hope to see you there! Survivor fans ready?
We open on Night 19 as they return from Tribal. Liana is ticked -- she was blindsided with votes, no one in her alliance told her what was going on as they followed Ricard's plan to oust Shan. Deshawn is upset that Shan called him a snake on the way out. Not only that, but she told Ricard will have her vote for the million.
Meanwhile, Xander, Ricard, Heather and Erika, the underdogs have the largest alliance. Danny is taking things better than Deshawn. Now Liana is gunning for Deshawn.
Day 20 -- remember they only have 26 days this season. Aw, it's the 25th anniversary of Danny's father's death. He was eight years-old. Notice we're getting a little backstory segment on each of them this season.
Eep ... already to Day 21. New twist afoot! Participating in the Immunity Challenge comes with a deadly risk? Oh my.
Use handles to balance a ball on a wooden cylinder, additions added as time goes on. First person out must be in Survivor Do or Die, if they win they're safe. If they lose no one is voted out and they are gone. They each get two rocks. Grey means they sit out Do or Die. Red is competing. Heather and Liana sit out, the rest participate.
Deshawn is almost immediately out. He will do the challenge tonight. The rest are now playing strictly for immunity. Erika out. It's Xander, Danny and Ricard playing for immunity. Ricard and Xander out almost simultaneously. DANNY WINS IMMUNITY!
Danny and Deshawn think they need to target Ricard if Deshawn stays. They approach Xander with the plan. Xander wants to keep Ricard but doesn't say that to them! Erika suggests to Xander that they should vote Ricard because he's a big threat to win the game. Xander thinks Liana, also not popular with Erika. He thinks of Ricard as a bit of a shield for him down the line ... a bigger target. Ricard doesn't really trust Erika. Liana is worried about her own safety. Will she use her Shot in the Dark at Tribal? Hmm.
Time for Tribal Council! Jeff tells Liana that the challenge was all about relationships. Heather and Liana both say they would have lost the challenge and it wasn't that they felt safe. Xander says this season you need to gamble a bit. Tonight is the last night they can take the Shot in the Dark. All of this going on is making me dizzy! Oh geez, now Deshawn is crying because he wanted to represent the Black community with integrity and thinks he failed. This leads into a rather intense discussion of race relations.
Deshawn is at his challenge. Three boxes, one has fire symbol (safe), two have a skull. He has to choose one box. Jeff opens a box -- skull. Offers to let Deshawn trade. Deshawn wants to go with his first choice. He got flame! DESHAWN IS SAFE! Ricard looks worried.
Time to vote.
The tally -- no idols played. Ricard, Liana, Ricard, Liana, Ricard, Liana, Liana, Liana.
Bye-bye, Liana!

Hi Jackie; and all who follow. I'm getting ready to drive, so, I'll check on everything when I get home.
Hi Jackie and Penny!
Hey everyone Happy December
~*~*~* SPLASH ~*~*~*
Hey Jackie! I hope you are doing ok...I think about you often.
Hi Penny & Glenn & everyone!
Happy December
Howdy everyone!!! Wonder what will happen tonight!
Squeegee
No Xander slow down
Last week WAS crazy! I'm glad Xander is still there.
SQUEEEEE
Ricard has to GO!
I wonder how many more will go home with an idol in their pocket!
Hmm ... I wonder how many people have gone home with an idol each season? I might have to look that up.
Hi Petals and SueGee and Mario L
It seems like a lot this Season!
Hi to Glenn and Jackie
Thinking that might happen with xander i like him better scared
Is there a "google" for Survivor facts?
Jackie - you & Monty have the elephant memories about that sorta thing...LOL
Im not crying your crying.
I like this Danny Backstory! Another Twist.Playing could be a deadly risk!
I was thinking of Xander. Surprised he didn't play it earlier. I always like it when someone plays and idol, and then goes out and finds another! Some players have been very good at that
I sure like Xander. (what IS IT with me and those curly-haired guys? My childhood crush on Barry Manilow, maybe? LOL)
Wow Deshawn out first.
who did that, Sue...? I remember it happening but not the season or the player. A guy for sure. Russel Hanz?
hi folks
hey FINY
Russel came to my mind too, but there were others...I'm horrible on names! My friend Yau-Man was the first to make a fake idol...
Danny wins Immunity!
Hi Joe
ditto Squee - I forget!
If he lives this could be another live tribal.. Yeah
SueGee - You can find almost any Survivor trivia fact in a Google search!
Well, I have found lots of things on Google, but never looked for Survivor trivia LOL
Just because I'm not watching the TV, I found this article.... Top 10 players that went home with an idol LOL
https://screenrant.com/survivor-best-players-went-home-with-idol/
Told you, Sue!
wow, Tribal is a total WHO KNOWS?
I love the Survivor trivia. Who won the immunity necklace? I just got home. I don't understand Xander. Wouldn't you want the biggest threat out. Right now, that's Ricard.
Hi all!
How is Erika's manicure still intact?
TEEEBB!!!!!
Hi Joe! I wonder what game Deshawn has to play!
I like looking up the top 10 best players. You have such a variation. LOL
So glad Danny won Immunity. This is so iffy tonight. Would hate to see DeShawn go, but I know Lianna and Shan would love see him go.
Penny - there are several different lists of those (best players). Ozzy is on some lists, but not others. Cerie appears on some, but not others...
I always forget who all I loved/hated until I see them, THEN i remember!
Oh, Love Penner & Yul. And YauMan
What if everyone use the Shot In the Dark and no one can vote?
That's what I was referring to Petals. So many different opinions on who's the best. The lists are unending.. LOL
what a different dynamic than the Cookout.
I think the shot in the dark is too iffy. What does DeShawn have to do?
Petals - The Cookout was driven to have any of them win to be the first Black winner. Survivor has had Black winners, male and female. So, while they want to represent POC in a good light, they didn't have that main goal as a group.
Yikes!!!
LOL. It's "Let's Make a Deal"
I swore we didn't have enough time left to vote. LOL
This will be interesting.
Ricard looks frightened
Yeah, the Monty Hall reference was funny.
thanks Jackie - I forgot (of course) that there have been black Survivr winners
I'm surprised Xander knew who Monty was
WOOHOOOOOOOOO
Wow. Shan doesn't like that. Another POC.
Penny - I don't think the rest of them do!
It should have been Ricard. IMO
me too Penny! Cool kid.
See ya'll next week!
Penny - I don't think that is why Shan is upset. She was very close to Liana and wanted her to do well, nothing to do with color.
ditto again, Pen
Thank you, Jackie. See you all next week.
re Ricard
Thank you Jackie.
You guys have a good week
XOXO
Thanks for coming by!
So Lianna voted out!Zander used the extra vote.
Liana vote is a surprise. I did not detect any type of threat.
