The Amazing Race is on at 9PM EDT, a separate post for that show will magically appear a few minutes before the end of this show.
As for Survivor, 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!
Some weirdness to mention -- last year we had no Ponderosa videos with the jury members in sequester after they were voted out. There are none on the website for this season. But if you do a YouTube search for "Survivor 43 After the Snuff" -- there are videos obviously filmed with a cell phone posted. Hmm.

Survivor fans ready?
We open with the castaways returning from Tribal Council. I still feel bad that Noelle is out but I totally understand it. I think she more than proved her point that her disability doesn't stop her. Sami was shocked at Noelle being voted out. He thinks he and Owen were left out of the vote. Sami admits to the others he wrote down Karla's name.
Gabler tries to make good with Owen so they can work together. Owen feels the others are all out to get him. Sami is still mad that he was left out of the vote for the first time. We get it teary sentimental bit about Sami, his mother and his little brother. Aw. Head up, shoulders back and make the best of it.
Karla and Sami talk. Apparently, he didn't burn that bridge. He lies to Karla and tells her that the first one to mention her name was Cassidy. So, Karla is freaking because she told Cassidy about her idol and she thought they were allies.
They see boat mail coming. It's handed to Karla. "Seven days left Any advantage is an advantage worth having. There's one hidden in your jungle. GO." They all run off looking for it. I may be mistaken but they keep going all around it. Yep, that's it. Hanging on a tree. Ah, Cody notices it and sneak pockets it.
It is an advantage -- he can bet on a player to win the next Immunity Challenge, if they win, he wins. He's given a heads-up about what the challenge it -- the almost drowning one we've seen before.
Immunity Challenge time. Test your ability to remain calm when all seems to be not calm. They are under a grate which gets lower as the tide rises, trying to breathe in the ocean. Cody gives Jeff his advantage. Jeff tells them about it but says he won't say who he chose until Tribal.
Gabler out first. Sami out. Jesse out. They are now at an hour. CODY is out -- he was sure he would win! 90 minutes. Almost two hours. Cassidy is out. She lasted two hours. Karla and Owen the only ones left. Two hours 45 minutes. Now the tide is dropping.
Jeff tells them since they beat the tide, BOTH will win Immunity because they outlasted the challenge! This has never happened before. For some reason, I don't think Cody chose either of them. Sami thinks Cody will also be safe and he will need to play his Shot in the Dark at Tribal tonight.
Sure, they're all hugging back at camp. Cassidy is upset with herself. Owen talks to her. Like Sami, she feels that three will be safe and she's vulnerable. They two talk about Sami going tonight. Karla agrees. She is worried that Cassidy knows about her idol ... and tells Sami they need to vote out Cassidy. Hmm. Sami is a bit suspicious. Now more are mentioning Cassidy's name.
Jesse is leery. He thinks it might be time to take out Sami. He talks to Own who is a bit suspicious about him. Jesse tells Cody about only Karla voting Cass with the rest of them voting Sami.
Tribal Council time. Jeff has to talk about Karla and Owen outlasting the high tide. Gabler says there was chaos back at camp. Karla says they're all polite. Owen brings up that he was left out of the voting plans last week. Sami thinks he's at the bottom. Cassidy talks about strengths, weaknesses and trust. Sami mentions they haven't seen an idol played. He tells them he's going to play his Shot in the Dark tonight. Karla says it's unfortunate that people trust him, and he is willing to throw his vote away.
Time to vote. Samu does pull the die out of his pocket.
Cody voted on OWEN to win, so he is safe.
The tally -- wait, Sami's Shot in the Dark -- he's NOT SAFE.
Now the tally -- Sami, Sami, Sami, Sami ... he's out! He's good about it. We do have to remember he's a kid. He just graduated from high school before the filming of the season.

Hi Jackie!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!! Very much appreciated.
I hate to see Owen at the bottom. I like him.
Hi, Penny. I like Owen, too. I'm surprised Gabler is doing as well as he is since he rubbed so many the wrong way at the start.
ho Jackie and Penny!
Hi to Jackie & Nickelpeed and all that enter!! Hope you are nice and warm!
I'm a little late as I had a little dental procedure this afternoon so my face is a bit skewed as the pain stuff wears off. Trying to eat some yogurt and stave off hunger! (and I need to eat something before I take something for my headache)
SueGee
In plain sight. LOLOLOL Come on Owen!!! Dang!
Hi Sue gee, Interesting two chances to win Immunity!
Hey, Glenn and Sue.
Hi Glenn and SueGee. My husband says someone needs to take out Jeff. LOL
Come on Owen.
Owen is my pool guy!!
Mine's already out, Sue. I want him to win because he's the underdog.
Yes!!! This is a first!
Now, the question is, who did Cody pick.
My Pool person Karla is safe!
I think he picked one of the two. I could be wrong, though.
I'm glad Owen got an immunity idol. He's at the bottom of the pecking order. I'm not so sure Karla is at the bottom.
I don't think he chose Karla. Maybe Owen. But I could see him going with Cassidy instead. I could be wrong.
The one thing a person should not do, is tell anyone about your idol. Big mistake. Poor Cass.
Sami is wishy washy. He'll turn on a dime.
Any reminders of what the shot in the dark is?
AAAh, Cody did vote Owen. Not many to vote for tonight. I really do not want it to fall on to Cass. I started out liking Sami, but when he kept on switching, I started not liking him. I just wish they'd vote out Gabler. But, they'll keep him around to take to the finale.
There's only one Sue.
Sue - I had to quick look it up -- Each player gets a Shot in the Dark Die, and if a player is feeling vulnerable at Tribal Council, they can choose to play it. If they do play it, they forfeit their vote and get a 1 in 6 shot at earning immunity there on the spot. You just have to reach into a bag, and if you draw a scroll that says “safe,” you’re safe. But if not, then you’re still vulnerable AND don’t get to vote. So that’s a very risky game to play.
If you draw it, you're safe.
Or, wait, Jackie - is there one or two shot in the dark
Thanks Jackie. I'm loving all these new twists but keeping track of what does what is beyond my old brain!!
It was Amazing that the Challenge was out lasted!
Thank you, Jackie.
See you next door!!
Sami is voted out!
See you on the other side!!
The TAR post is up!
So glad Owen won immunity challenge! I just like him! Thank you Jackie
