The Amazing Race is later tonight at 10PM EDT and a separate blog entry will be up for that.
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!
Promos tell us that tonight's the merge. Now, that means that they should be looking for big threats to get out of the game rather than just keeping their tribe safe. I guess we'll see!
The Esteemed Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool -- check it out to find your castaway!
Survivor fans ready?
Coco Day 12, tree mail. They are to drop their buffs and the game is about to change. Ryan thinks it's the perfect time and now he's a free agent. Baka and Coco are heading to the Vesi camp with supplies.
Noelle is worried about what's next -- it's not a typical merge and they have no new buffs. Dwight is trying to figure out who has what idol-wise, no votes, etc. Elie figures out Cody has an idol because someone said he collected all the beads from his camp.
Day 13. Jeff is at a challenge set-up. He takes back the tribal idols. No need for them anymore. He tells them they are at the threshold of the merge. Two teams of six, one extra person, gray rock does not compete but chooses a team to "ride or die" with. Red and blue rocks. Noelle has the grey one. If she chooses the team that wins, she's safe. Wrong pick and she's vulnerable.
Get 20 sandbags on their platform -- they have to dig them up and move them, get sled, move crates onto sled, move along to next station. Build a puzzle staircase out of the crates. Climb up to untie ring of keys. Up ramp with rope net top. Solve puzzle. Karla is bleeding; her blue team is behind. Meanwhile, Noelle chose blue! Blue is doing well on the puzzle.
They earned their spot in the merge! Jesse, Dwight, Jeanine, Karla, Gabler, Ryan and one more all safe tonight. All will vote, though. Heh -- one put it as Mergeatory. Perfect!
Separate groups are talking James or Cody out. It doesn't look good for Cody. While all of them are scheming against each other, the other six have the merge feast. Ryan wants them to be in an alliance. No go with many of them. Gabler tells them Elie went through his bag. Most have someone already in mind. It will probably be a very split vote.
Merge Tribe Day 13- Cody thinks he might not need to use his idol. Elie was told that Gabler told all that she searched his bag when it was Jeanine. She won't tell him who did it. She goes to Sami and tells him that he and James told Gabler she did it. She wants him to help her clear her name. Jeanine is upset that Gabler is saying she has an idol. James is going around quizzing people. It sounds like Elie is the biggest target. Will Jeanine play her idol for her? Hmm.
Tribal Council time. All showed up, with the seven wearing buffs. Chaos and disorganization are brought up. Jeff brings up that it's complicated. Well, duh. Elie says she felt very panicked. Talk of idols and advantages. They're spreading this out. Will the vote even be done tonight?
Ah, time to vote. Dwight votes Elie. No surprise there.
The tally -- Elie, James, Owen, Cassidy, James, Elie, Elie, Elie, Elie ... she's out. Jeanine did not use her idol to save her. Jeanine seems shocked.
All now have made the merge and get their buffs.

Hi Jackie. Thank you so much.
Wow, he remembers well.
I can't believe they're all telling each other everything they have.
But, is it a merge
I hope they don't have the bust the hour glass.
Penny - It's already been announced pre-season the hour glass is history.
~*~ SPLASH ~*~
Hi Jackie, the hostess with the mostest
Hi Penny!!
Where is everybody?
Hi Jackie and Penny and Petals! Is this the 3rd season of the losing team Hourglass? Did Jeff just mean the Meal not taken away?
Hi folks
ahhh... why'd she have to mention Cody's hat????
Hey Honey!
Hi joe. My pool person Karla is hurt!
My Poll person Karla is safe. Is this first time the Winning team actually Wins?
No hourglass anymore. The winning team immediately gets merge, along with the meal. The losing team won't be considered merged until after Tribal. They don't get the meal. At least that's my understanding.
Thanks Jackie. I am glad the Hourglass is gone!
Hi Glenn!
As long as Cody is safe, and ... I forgot the other one I liked.
Hi Joe, Glenn, Petals
Thank you, Jackie. Glad it's gone.
This looks like a messy Tribal and Vote!
I really don't care about any of these people. LOL
I haven't warmed up to any of them either, Joe.
My pool pick is Ellie; and she's in trouble. I wish they'd ditch Gabler. Sorry whomever has him. LOL
Do they all vote?
Yeah. It's not that I dislike anyone. They are all just meh... Must be my age. My nostalgia says that there used to be bigger personalities, even the ones I didn't like.
Maybe they've all just seen it too many times. When's the last time somebody did something totally new?
Howdy everyone...just sitting here eating dinner and watching Jackie blog the show, and you few chat away. Have some time before the show actually comes on, so I will enjoy my chicken!
Squeegee
See you all later??????????
Well crap. My pool pick is gone. Now, I can root for whomever I want.
Thank you, Jackie. Really appreciate it.
See most of you for TAR. All others, see you next week.
Thanks for coming by. I'll be back in an hour for TAR.
Sorry Penny on Ellie being voted out
TY xoxox
Joe, are you coming to TAR?
That challenge couldn't have gone better for Noelle. By sitting out the challenge, she didn't have to climb the wall, and since her team was able to secure immunity, she did not have to worry about being voted out.
Noelle is a very strong candidate, although I think her social game is somewhat lacking.
