Survivor 43: 4th Episode Blog Party - October 12

 

Good evening, Survivor fans!

The Amazing Race is after this show later tonight at 10PM EDT and a separate blog entry will be up for that. So, I will have an hour's rest between blogging shows tonight. Cool!

I will be live blogging 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 section. I hope to see you there!

This is getting interesting -- at this point the Vesi tribe is down to four and cannot afford to lose another member. Coco is still standing at full strength while Baka is down one member. I would think something should be happening soon to shake up the tribes even though it's too early for a merge.

The Esteemed Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool -- check it out to find your castaway!

Survivor fans ready?

It was a dark stormy night. Noelle is thanking the others for keeping her over Nneka. Cody, of course, is the most vocal about them being dead last. 

Over on Baka, Gabler is putting palm fronds on people for protection? Hmm. He's getting on Elie's nerves. If he keeps telling others how to make a fire when they are already making fire. Gabler knows Elie went through his bag.

Right to a challenge already. It's for Reward. Knocking blocks off ledge with sandbags, one walks on the blocks, others throw sandbags on swing platforms.  Playing for ten fresh fish delivered to camp, can go to one other camp and steal an item. Ryan is doing poorly for Coco.

VESI ACTUALLY WINS!!!

Since they have no flint, the fish isn't a great reward. They are not allowed to steal the other camp's flint. So, they trade the reward for fruit. 

Cody volunteers to go. Cody thinks they should go for fishing gear. Meanwhile, the other two tribes are worried that they will be raided. Baka thinks Coco should be raided because they have a full tribe and more winnings. 

Cody heads off and does indeed hit Coco. He tells them he wants to steal their machete. They try to negotiate and offer him food. He ended up with some fishing gear and food, more than he originally sought. But they did keep their machete.

Immunity Challenge time. Race to knock off heavy sandbags looking for a keyring with one key on it, unlock a huge net, take puzzle pieces under the net -- four pieces. Untie the puzzle piece bags. Two players do puzzle. 

Baka does the puzzle first and is on to moving the puzzle pieces up a cargo net. Now they have to build a triangle (the first was a square).

VESI wins Immunity! They yell out clues to Baka so Coco loses. Baka is safe. Coco must go to Tribal tonight.

Coco is steaming because Vesi shouted out and helped Baka win. The guys are talking about voting out Cassidy. Geo thinks he's in charge. Meanwhile, Cassidy is sick of Geo and the women are talking about getting him out. James is trying to convince a paranoid Lindsay that the vote will be for Geo to go.

To Tribal we go. Jeff asks Ryan to grade the tribe. He gives an 8.5/10. Ryan wants to provide for others. Lindsay says today was a wake-up call and said some of the others didn't seem to want to talk to her. Ryan says he didn't talk to her and she claims she wasn't a priority. Geo claims to be nervous.

Time to vote. The tally -- Cassidy, Geo, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay.

I guess it's not paranoia when they indeed vote you out. Bye, Lindsay!
