Mama told me not to come!

 I wouldn’t tell my kids to go on Survivor without instructions to change an alliance at the drop of a hat. At this point in the game there is no sure thing as safety in numbers. With only six people left in the game and two still have hidden immunity idols, the odds are 1 in four that you’re the next person going home. Talk around camp has everyone a target. The main person wanted gone is Fabio.

This all leads us into the Reward challenge. Fabio tells the guys that if he wins he’ll take Sash and Chase with him and the other two agree. The cast-a-ways get a tree mail which has a Sprint phone in it. Clues that their family’s may be here because each one has a family video on the phone. When they get to the challenge Jeff introduces a member of each players family. Fabio’s mother, Dan’s son, Jane’s daughter, Hollies husband, Chases mom and Sash’s mom. Jeff then explains that the family member will participate in the challenge with the tribe members. The challenge is to jump into a pool of water and retrieve 3 bags of letters and bring them back to their team member. Once all the bags are back, they can assemble the word puzzle. The competition is close but Chase’s mom solves the puzzle for the win. They get a boat trip down the coast with lots of food and drinks. Jeff tells Chase he can select two other teams to go along on the trip. He picks Holly because she gave up her last reward to get the rice and tarp. Then the mistake of the game when he picks Sash to go with them. This leaves a pissed off Fabio, a disgruntled Dan and a questioning Jane. Fabio can’t believe he did that after promising to take each other. Dan’s mad but hasn’t earned diddly the whole game. Jane is wondering what has happened to the alliance.

While the rewardee’s are off having a good time, the three back at camp are busy bitching and complaining instead of working on an alliance of their own.

Jane is so pissed that she takes two pans full of water and puts the fire out, saying I started it and I’ll be the one to put it out! When the three rewardee’s return Jane gives them the old what for and tensions begin to rise. I don’t think anyone slept, feeling like they might get stabbed in the back.

The Immunity challenge is up next in the morning. They have to get blindfolded and then climb under, over and under some barricades to the other end of the course and study a puzzle with only their hands. After the think they know how to assemble it they must carry three bags of parts back under and over the barricades and then assemble the puzzle while still blind folded. Fabio and Chase are the first two down to the other end. The rest all get to the end about the same time except Dan who is running a little slow. After a few minutes the players start heading back. Jane, Fabio and Holly get back to the beginning first. Dan and Chase are the last two, studying the puzzle. Fabio makes good time and solves it first, winning the immunity!

Back at camp the word starts spreading that Jane will be getting the boot. She overhears it and questions Chase, Sash and Holly and they admit she will be gone because she is a threat to win the game. She flips them the bird and walks off.

At Tribal Council Jeff digs deep and discovers Jane knows she’ll be voted out and she lays out who is going next! She explains that Chase and Sash have the idols and that herself, Holly, Sash and Chase had an alliance which will be broken. Jeff makes a comment to Dan and Fabio that they should team up with Jane and vote out Holly. But, like the big dummies they are they don’t do it even knowing the numbers will be against them at the next TC. Going to the vote, the chickens all roost together and unanimously vote out Jane with their five votes.

The mayhem Sunday night should be good and I can’t wait for the reunion meeting to learn how much dirt there was among these guys.

Jane the day after:

Most Wanted

 

It’s now a game of numbers and Sash is the odd man wanted. With only seven players left in the game, Sash is the most wanted and needed player this season at this point. Two alliances of three are wheeling and dealing to get Sash on their side so they can control the game and protect the alliance they now have formed. Holly, Jane and Chase look solid. Benry, Dan and Fabio look iffy.

Based on how production is editing, it seemed weird that Sash was talking about his HII with Benry, Fabio and Chase because they were from different alliances! The talk of who and what the alliances are never stopped tonight. For awhile I thought there might be false alliances setting up three or four people for eviction.

OK, ok, so much now for the suspense. Bring on the challenge for reward. Food, a shower and a massage sounds like it’s worth winning. I hope so, because the mud, sweat and tears will make the shower feel oh so good. The first part of the challenge was muddy, and then straw which sticks to the body only to find a ball which they had to throw into a barrel. Chase was first, followed by Jane, Benry and Holly.

In the second round they had to retrieve a key which opened a chest. In the chest were four sandbags which then had the land on top of a barrel. Chase absolutely crushed everyone making quick work of this part of the challenge and Benry was well ahead of the ladies.

Third round was the easiest which required the guys to dig up three rope rings with a paddle and throw them on hooks. Game over, Chase blew Benry away before he could even dig the ropes up from the sand.

Chase had to pick two people to go with him on the reward trip. His first pick was Holly because she forfeited her reward from the last challenge to get the tarp and rice. His second pick was Jane, oops! He should have taken Sash to keep him away from the guys where he might be enticed into their alliance. As expected, the guys tried to lore Sash into helping them eliminate Jane. While the others were lounging in luxury the guys ate the chicken. When Jane got back she cried for awhile and then made a small memorial for the chicken. The guys nicknamed the chicken Kel-Na to make fun of the chickens who quit.

More and more talk about who is aligned and who should be evicted. It’s really hard to tell who is doing what tonight.

For immunity they had a two part contest. First part was to unwind a rope from a sawhorse type starting point far enough so they could get a bag of gold coins at the other end of the course. Fabio, Benry and Sash were the first three to complete it and move to round two. Round two they needed to put a gold coin puzzle together. After some struggle, Sash got his done first and won immunity. This gave him individual immunity so he could save his HII.

More talk and the person who will be evicted is really up in the air. When they get to TC the talk about the game strategy even confuses the jury members and makes them wonder what the hell is going on.

After the vote which shows one vote for Holly, two votes for Fabio and four votes for Benry in a surprise evicition. It seems the Chase, Holly, Jane trio look like they pulled Sash into their alliance for the time being. I look for bigger twists the next two weeks as people turn on each other or the immunity goes to people in line for eviction. My pet peeve about no one using the HII yet is still alive. It’s really strange after the game play the last few seasons.

I’m ready for the next two weeks and see what these loonies do!

Disgusting turn to such a weak Survivor!

Good Lord. This game has been so lame from the beginning. Now we have the worst move ever to a Survivor series. The weakest player and the wicked bitch of the east gave up and outright “QUIT” a game that most people would give anything to play. Naonka is such a selfish bitch, tell everyone your quitting and then taking the reward for the Reward Challenge. I know, she earned it, but why not volunteer to stay and take the tarp and rice for the people that still have 11 days left in the jungle! The woman has been the biggest bimbo of an excuse for a human I have ever seen. From day 1 she has done nothing but threaten and bad mouth everyone in the game. I don’t think she missed anyone and the fight over the clue with Kelly B, what an asshole!

Not much action in the episode last night. Even the challenge was a little lame. All they had to do was drag an oversized dummy through some obsticles. It was close but the bigger guys on blue team pulled through at the end.

The rest of the night was useless. We saw the winning team gorge their faces and then watch a movie.

At the TC NaOnka made a bigger ass of herself and actually said she would have won the game! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What bullshit. She is lower than bullshit and full of hot air!

Not much else to say. Iv’e included clips of the wusses from after they left and the Ponderosa. Also, I’m posting Jeffs feelings in his blog and his update as why they them go to the Jury!

Jeff Probst blogs ‘Survivor: Nicaragua’: Episode 12

Okay, I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me that there is a bit of an implied contract when you agree to be on Survivor.

On our side, we promise you the adventure of your lifetime. Something you have never experienced before and will probably never experience again. It’s a multi-million dollar, life-changing thrill ride that will test you on every level. We promise, and we always deliver. Always.

In exchange we expect only two things from you: Show up… and play. That’s it. When you fail to do one or both of those requirements you are not living up to your end of the bargain. One might say you are in breach of our implied contract.

That’s my new philosophy regarding quitters on Survivor. You’re breaking your contract. There are certainly exceptions to the rule, such as medical evacuations and family emergencies, but I’m talking about the contestants who just decide they don’t want to play anymore. In this case, Naonka and Purple Kelly.

You’d think that by the time you have gone through the long arduous process of casting, meeting the executives at CBS, suffering through your immunization shots, getting your passport, arranging to leave your life for 39 days, getting on a plane, meeting with the press, and then lasting 28 days to give yourself a 1-in-9 shot at winning a million dollars, that this would be a no-brainer. Of course you’re going to finish; quitting would be foolish, right?

I’m not going to rehash the events of the quit, that’s just a waste of time and space.

I will however mention that when Naonka had the chance to walk away from the reward in exchange for tarp and rice, I truly believed she would do it. I was initially shocked when she didn’t move. Shocked. Naonka had just told everybody she wanted to quit. She knew she would be eating real food and sleeping in a real bed within hours, and all she had to do was stand up and say “It’s the least I can do before I quit.” She would have redeemed herself just a little bit.

But upon reflection I can clearly see that my expectation was flawed. Naonka has been consistently selfish for 28 days, and for her to stand up and suddenly do the “right thing” would not be consistent. Naonka went out the same way she came in, “Looking out for numero uno.”

In addition to not being a lawyer, I’m also not a psychologist, but it never seems to stop me from offering up an opinion. So here’s my take on whether they will regret this later in life:

I don’t think Naonka is going to regret her actions for one moment. I think Naonka has a lot of maturing to do and it doesn’t appear to be coming anytime soon. Quitting Survivor doesn’t make Naonka a bad person in my eyes, it was just disappointing. I’ll be curious to find out the reaction from Naonka’s family at the reunion show.

In the case of Purple Kelly, I think she will learn a lot from this experience and will at some point regret not sticking it out for 11 more days.

When you quit, when you give up and walk away from a task, even though you know you have some gas left in the tank, you are in a sense giving up on yourself. Purple Kelly had a lot of gas left in her tank. She’s a very strong and resilient young woman. Naonka gave her permission to quit and she took it and ran. I have a feeling the next time Purple Kelly is in the same situation she will think a long time before quitting.

JURY
I know a lot of you are angry right now because Naonka and Purple Kelly are allowed to be on the jury, so let me explain.

The reason they will both be members of the jury is because a precedent had already been set back when Janu quit in Survivor: Palau. Janu quit the game but was allowed to be on the jury, so we used the same reasoning with Naonka and Purple Kelly. It wasn’t an emotional decision, just an issue of fairness.

And yes…Marty, Alina and Brenda were very upset when they found out these quitters would still get to have a vote to decide who wins the million dollars.

IMPACT
Naonka and Purple Kelly quitting just blew this game wide open. It’s like we’re starting over. Their quit benefits some and penalizes others. The person who lost the most was Sash. He not only lost Purple Kelly, who would have voted any way he wanted her to, he also lost Naonka and her idol. He could have taken those two to the end with him and probably been a shoo-in for the million dollars. Instead he now must scramble to make something happen, and other than Dan, everybody else is a threat to win the game.

From a show point of view it’s an awesome turn of events. It changed everything and makes for an exciting and unpredictable finish.

Everybody left in the game has a legitimate shot to win.

Everybody except Dan. Dan’s best hope was to go to the final with Naonka and Purple Kelly. Now that they’re gone, I cannot think of a scenario in which Dan could beat anybody to win. This makes Dan a great person to take to the end. The dilemma is going to be who else do you take to the final?

I am not picking on Dan, I actually enjoy Dan quite a bit, and I could be wrong and Dan could win. If he does win, stay glued to your television because there is a very good chance that at the live show, as I read the last “Dan” vote, I will become light-headed and pass out on the CBS stage. Fortunately, Dancing With The Stars tapes nearby, so Tom Bergeron could run over and handle the rest of the reunion show.

Okay, so we are down to seven: Jane, Benry, Fabio, Holly, Sash, Chase, and Dan. There is going to be a lot of scrambling happening from here until the end. Here is my assessment of what each player needs to do:

Chase needs to form an alliance and stick with it.

Fabio, Benry and Jane need to start winning immunity or they are in danger.

Holly needs to keep mothering and nurturing and keep the attention on others.

Sash has the most work to do since his rug has been pulled out from under him.

Dan doesn’t need to do anything; it’s been working for 28 days. Why change?

It looks like we might have an exciting finish….

See ya next week.

UPDATE (Dec. 2, 12:00pm):
In response to so many comments about last night’s episode I wanted to add a follow up on the topic of quitters being allowed to be on the jury. When Janu quit and was allowed to stay on as a member of the jury, the precedent set was one that says “if we are in the jury phase of the game and you quit, you will still be a member of the jury.” Here is why the Janu precedent is important….

If you take it one step further, you realize that the decision has major ramifications because whoever Janu was in an alliance with, may still benefit from her vote at the end of the game. It could be a million dollar vote… from a quitter.   Not the greatest situation but that’s the precedent that was set.

So, we did not believe it would be fair, based on precedent, to suddenly change the rules and say to Naonka and Purple Kelly, “you cannot be on the jury.” Because that could unfairly penalize someone in their alliance.  If that person made it to the final and Naonka and Purple Kelly were not on the jury that could make a case that it was “unfair”… based on the precedent set with Janu.

We always strive to be fair. When you remove the emotion of the situation it’s easy that this was the “fair” thing to do.  It wasn’t a popular decision on location and we understand that as fans you really don’t like it at all, but it was the fair decision.Will we look to make changes in the rules from this point forward…? Consider that a big YES. Thank you for your input, we listen to your feedback and in this case we agree with you.

I’m sure we’ll deal with this at the live reunion show on Dec. 19th as well.

It’s time for a new leader to arise from the ashes!

Two weeks ago the mighty Marty was the Grand Master of Survivor. Oops, he slipped by the way. 

During the show intro Sash and Brenda thought they were the power players, Fabio and Benry were making plans of their own and Holly and Jane were wondering what was up with Chase and NaOnka.

 The day was cold and the wind and rain were hard. People were cold and wet. The tribe decided to move the reward chests around the fire to keep the fire from going out and the heat directed toward them. (Let me see now. I believe wood is a combustible material. Aah, nothings going to happen)

 While sitting around the camp, some of the talk turned toward getting rid of Brenda.

 At the reward challenge, the teams were divided.

The Blue team was made up of : Chase, Kelly, Jane, Fabio and NaOnka.

The Yellow team was made up of : Sash, Holly, Benry, Dan and Brenda.

 The competition consisted of using 4 barrels and some rope to race across a course without falling off the barrels. The Blue team was able to figure it out quickly and were able to complete the course using only 3 barrels. The yellow team struggled and fell off one time and had to restart. They never did get the hang of it.

The Blue team was loaded into a helicopter and whisked away to Serra Negro for some volcano surfing and then pizza, chocolates and soft drinks.

Meanwhile, back at camp, the yellow team discovered that their bright idea to move the chests work so well that they got hot and burned. They lost most of their food and some tools.

More strategy talk goes on and everyone wants Brenda or Sash, with Brenda being to one they want to evict.

At the immunity challenge, they learn it’s an endurance  test. The tribe members must stand on a small platform and hold a rope with knots so they can grab and stay up. The game begins as they lean back and hold tightly at the first knot. Slowly they begin to fall. First to go is Sash. Kelly is 2nd, Holly drops 3rd, Brenda is next at 4, Dan follows her at 5, Fabio and then NaOnka were 6 & 7. The remaining players must now move to the 2nd knot! Benry drops 8th and Chase and Jane are the only ones left. It seems Chase is going to win when Jane tells everyone that her arms are getting sore. A few moments later Chase tries to adjust and falls leaving Jane as the winner.

 That night at TC the usual chatting goes on and it seems everyone talks about Brenda being the one needing to go. They vote and as expected Brenda is eliminated by a  8 – 1 – 1 vote. NaOnka and Benry got votes from Brenda and Kelly.

After that TC it now seems that there is no clear leader in an alliance. The next few weeks should be interesting. And amazing but true “DAN” is the man. He has managed to hang in the game way beyond the time I thought he would. Jane now looks like she will do well with the physical challenges.

Need to change Fabio to “George of the Jungle” he’s always running into a tree!! The man must be all bruises right now.

Kelly finally mustered up a few words at TC.

 And last but certainly not least, when the hell is someone going to play an idol?  

 Last week was just a recap of what has gone on and not much new information was given. I could do without that unless they showed serious and funny out takes from the challenges.

 This week should heat up things a little and maybe some good action will take place!

Tarzan and Jane, the Odd Ones!

Marty is becoming more ape looking everyday, so I’m gonna call him Tarzan. That will make Tarzan and Jane the “Odd Couple”. He really pissed off Jane last week. This week she has decided to just call him Jack ass.

After Tribal council last week everyone has realized just how much of an asshole he really is and the target on his back has grown!

Everyone has been telling Jane to chill out and not worry about Marty. Even NaOnka hopes he starts some shit about her so she can cut Marty a new butt!

Marty was also trying to ask around and see who the other person was that voted for him. He’ll have no luck there; no one will reveal that info. He’s also trying to setup  a blindside to get rid of Jane. Jane is still pissed and wants to take Marty to the woodshed and straighten him out!

First up is the reward challenge. Teams were chosen and somehow it’s men vs. women with Chase sitting out because of the odd number of players. Chase must choose what team he thinks will win and will get what that team gets. The men wipe out the women by having enough strength to carry Dan thru the challenge course.

Guys get a cool reward of a zip line ride thru the jungle tops and then a meal.

Lots of talk about who to evict centers mainly on Jane and Marty, Brenda starts to complain to NaOnka that Chase is getting on her nerves. They decide Chase might be getting close to needing evicted.

When the tree mail arrives they get a clue that the immunity challenge will me a memory test. At the challenge site they see some objects on cards with objects on them. Jeff tells them he will reveal some of the cards and they must remember the order to win the challenge.

Jeff reveals the first six items. Ship, Musket, Anchor, Ships Wheel, Musket and Ship.

They all get the first two correct. Jane and NaOnka miss the third item.. Dan misses the fourth item. Holly, Kelly and Sash miss item 5. Everyone else gets the sixth correct

And move to round two.

Jeff reveals seven items this time: Musket, Ship, Coins, Anchor, Dagger, Musket and Ships Wheel.

Everyone gets the first one, Fabio misses item two, Chase misses item three, Benry misses item 4, Marty and Brenda get the fifth and then Marty misses number 6 and Brenda wins immunity.

The alliances seem to be weakening and no very strong groups look ready to take control.. It’s going to be a crap shoot as who will go. At TC, Marty doesn’t do anything to help his cause. Infighting among the group is getting hotter and heavier.

After a quick vote, Marty is sent packing. It’s about time the master dummy got the boot.

 Wednesday next looks like things are heating up as the camp burns down!! Can’t wait to see who is responsible for that one.

The alliance of  Benry and Fabio will now compete against Brenda and Sash for power of the tribe!

No news, no game play and no game leader!

Sorry I got this posted late. Wasn’t home and forget to set the Tivo!

After surviving last weeks most disastrous move ever, Marty is about his future in the game. Be afraid Marty, BE VERY AFRAID!

Fabio, after getting the tree mail and coming back to camp does his usually stupid character acting. Is he really that weird or is he playing the game? Hmmmmm! He announces that the merge is coming.

Meanwhile, over at Espada the plotting and scheming has begun when they learn that the merge is happening. They have the treasure chest but need to wait for La Flor who has the key…

Alina decides she has a plan to get rid of Marty but no one seems to care about it.

Cut away to La Flor walking in carrying in the chest. When it’s unlocked and opened it reveals the new red buffs for the newly merged team which Marty names Libertad. Go Marty, keep up the good work :- )).

Everyone congratulates everyone on the merge and chows down. Another strategy meeting is going on between Brenda and Naonka. Na told Brenda about Marty giving away the HII to Sash. They agree that Marty should be the one to go next.

Chase and Jane sitting around talking seem to work a friendly alliance because of their backgrounds from No. Carolina.

While standing around, Holly witnesses Naonka stealing flour and the pots, pans and fruit. Seems we have a “King Troll” want to be. Only problem, the Troll never got caught! Holly then starts telling everyone about Naonka’s shenanigans. Alina confronts Na about it and tells Na she needs to give it back. Alina’s first big mistake comes when she accepts some of the misgotten bootie!

When people start noticing missing property, the jig is up and Naonka is confronted. Trying to stay out of trouble, Naonka says she took it but she was going to portion it out. Fabio questions why she was putting it in her bag and she does one of  brush off moves to Fabio is amazed how much bullshit she keeps blowing on everyone. Marty starts his ranting about Jane needs to be evicted because she isn’t a competitor and a redneck. He is still a large butthead.

At the immunity challenge Jeff announces two individual idols, one for the women and one for the men. The challenge is simple, hold up a rod by applying pressure on two handles by pulling them apart so the rod doesn’t slide down thru the holes in the handles. When it does, a plate will be broken and the person eliminated from the game.

Jeff gets them all set up and they grab the handles and put on tension. Jeff has the cover boards lifted and the plates are exposed and the game is on. First out, Miss quiet Kelly purple. 2nd, good ol’ boy Handy Dan. Alina and Benda make it 3rd and 4th. To my surprise, Benry and Sash go 5th and 6th. Naonka makes it to 7th and when Holly drops at 8th, Jane wins immunity for the women but wants to stay in and kick Marty’s ass. After her brash statement that she wants to beat the men Marty and Chase go 9th and 10th. Jane keeps going but Fabio knowing he has won immunity drops his rod. Jane asks Jeff if it is really ok to drop and she finally quits. Jane’s a character but can sure play the game, look out boys. And no help from Tarzan!!

After the challenge the discussions center on who to eliminate. Infighting amongst the alliances can’t seem to agree who to eliminate. Marty and Jane seem to be on opposite sides of who should go but Alina’s association with Naonka and people who don’t trust her get her on a 10 – 2 vote. Two votes for Marty and everyone else voting for Alina.

At this point of the game the paranoia is rampant and no one wants to take the lead except Marty who it seems everyone wants out of the game but can’t quite seem to get the job done!

Going into next week, it seems NaOnka is going to one up my old Troll buddy. She manages to wave the flag of victory, or was she counting to one starting with the middle finger. Must have been the finger because Jeff is totally flabbergasted and stunned. Maybe we’ll have a little action in the midst of our mob!  We can only hope!

Ponderosa – Pt.2    Wait until you see Ponderosa this year, it’s more like heaven!

Survivor Fever, think they might catch it soon?

In A somewhat boring episode of Survivor, anyone new that was watching for

The first time was probably thinking, LAME!

After getting back from the TC last time, the young members of Espada were still doubting their decision about not getting rid of Dan.

Meanwhile at the La Flor camp, Marty is bragging about not playing the idol and surviving the vote. He says he has some big cahones! Then he proceeds to jump on Jane because he thinks she voted for him. She did you fool, who in their right mind would vote for you? Marty tells Jill he thinks they need to get Jane out of the game.

At the Reward Challenge they will play for a trip to a farm. Horseback riding, cow milking and FOOD! A very nice meal is on the line.

The challenge consists of the teams having to throw a ball across a small pool and into a net. In their way will be a member of the other tribe in the middle standing on a small platform who is able to block their shots. The blocker for La Flor will be Fabio and Chase will block for Espada. With Fabio in to block NaOnka jumps and scores over Fabio’s block. 1-0. Chase enters the pool as Fabio gets out. Jill is able to score over Chase and makes it 1 – 1. Next Benry makes point #2 while Marty misses, 2 – 1. Rd. three has Holly get blocked and Kelly P make it. 2 – 2. Rd.4 Dan is next and his is usual sorry ass self, he doesn’t jump and manages to hit Chase  in the crotch (sheesh) put Sash misses for La Flor. Rd. 5 Alina makes hers while Brenda misses. 3 – 2 Espada. During the switch in blockers, Fabio decides to have a bathroom break room IN the pool. What a nerd!!

Rd.6 – NaOnka makes another pt and so does Jill. 4 – 3. Benry is up to begin Rd. 7 and makes his shot to closeout the game 5 – 3.

Back at La Flor camp, Jane decides to go fishing alone. She manages to catch a decent size fish and goes into the woods to hide and cook her catch. She starts a fire and cooks her fish which she proceeds to eat in the privacy of the jungle! Way to go Jane!

Espada rides horseback into the farm / ranch and dismounts and head for the cows. We then see Dan go first and does quite well at milking the cow. NaOnka is next and fails miserably and has to get help! Ah, Really? They then go over to the dinner table and sit down to a great meal. Cheese, Corn, veggies …. Yummy. And then there is watermelon, nice and juicy! They sit around talking and Kelly purple who hasn’t uttered a word in the game until now, she has a minor emotional moment and cries and actually speaks.

The next day the Immunity challenge is up for grabs. In a somewhat blasé game of bowling for tiles. The teams have to send two people send two people up on a tower and roll small or large cannon balls down the chutes and hit the tiles to break them. After some squabbling among the pairs at the top with the rest of team members holding the ropes to aim the chutes, everything seems to calm down and Espada casually wins the game 5-2.

Back at the La Flor camp a major play is being discussed to have Marty play the idol at TC. Make him play it or give it up is discussed and Sash will be the spokesperson. Sash goes and tells Marty what they are going to do and it is his choice whether or not to play the idol or give it up with the promise not to vote him out this week. He can also vote whatever way he wants nut that Jill will be the target.

Marty, Marty, Marty, you have no common reality game sense. You have made a mockery out of what you did with your Idol game play. Your are first class foolish ass. He now must be considered for the dumbest move ever in Survivor.

The talk around the TC fire is mostly about trust. Does Marty trust they won’t vote him out? Do Jill and Marty now have anyone they can trust? Does everyone trust that sash will give up the HII if someone else needs it? Specially after the Freudian slip about who he trusts. What might happen to the idol now that the merge is coming? My wonder is, what ever happened to Na Onka’s HII??

After a vote that everyone knew was coming Jill is voted out. Jill 3 votes, Marty 2 votes and Jane 2 votes.

Up next week, just watch the video at the beginning of this post!

Week Six makes for a weak showing!

A week after splitting the tribes up for the second time Survivor has made it a double eviction night and 2 people will be leaving. A double eviction just before the last week before the merge. That’s right y’all, next week is the last time teams compete in this years Survivor. It will be the 7th week of Nicaragua and the following week comes the merge.

 

We all know dumb butt Marty has an idol and should been evicted when they had the chance last night during the revote when he couldn’t use it. Lest we forget, there is another idol in some ones hands. Oh yeah, NaOnka has it in her grubby little hands. Brenda knows she has it, but will she tell anyone and try to get Na out of the game? ……… (Hmmmm, I just had a thought. They haven’t shown or heard anyone mention her idol since the switch. You don’t think we could be lucky enough for her to have left it behind at her old La Flor camp, do you?)

 

Last night was sort of boring after the the great challenges they had last week. To go from nearly drowning the players to digging up rope rings was pitiful. I want a 1 hour refund for my time spent watching that bullshit. I guess because it was a individual immunity challenge for of the double eviction at tonight’s TC that wasted a whole 5 minutes of time on it. All they had to do was dig up three rope loops and toss them up and catch them in a basket which was attached at their waist at their butts. Then all they had to do was flip it behind them and catch it. Dan looked like a fool the way he was going at things. Then the reward challenge was a simple ring toss. Hell, even I didn’t break a sweat.

 

Anyway, Holly won the first idol challenge on the Espada tribe. Jill took the prize on the La Flor side. In the ring toss throw off Jill won the feast for the La Flor’s. The not only won a feast but got to eat it in front of Espada at TC.

 

At TC La Flor does their vote split and brings about a tie and Marty not playing the idol, bummer! Now, instead of getting rid of Marty since he can’t use the idol for the tie breaker, the stupido’s get rid of Kelly B. The more I watch these morons, the more I wonder about their IQ’s! Great chance to get rid a player and an idol and they blew it.

 

After Kelly leaves, the La Flor moves over to the bleachers to eat and watch the Espada discuss the strategy for their voting. And, like most times when someone eats in front of others, they don’t get to finish their meal. Espada, after La Flor goes, gets down to vote and Yve gets a unanimous eviction.

 

Nothing great happened and I feel like I wasted an hour out of my day.

 

Next week on Survivor, will La Flor win one more immunity challenge and Espada lose 1 more member. I think  the split made it easier for the original La Flor members better able to get rid of the “Over the Hill Gang”.

 

Well, until next week!

 It’s F..tb..l !    @¿@

Twist and Shout, we got new teams. AGAIN!

As the Espada tribe returned from last weeks Tribal Council, discussions about Jimmy T’s eviction were the main topic. Jane and Holly were surprised he was voted out! C’mon ladies, didn’t you realize know one discussed keeping him with y’all. Marty’s running the show as supreme Emperor. He controls with his magic wisdom of game play. WHAT, wisdom from a man who openly displayed the HII! In the past, if you showed everyone you had the idol, you were immediately put at the head of the list for eviction at the next TC. At the least, Dan’s deadbeat butt should have been sent home. Jimmy T should have been kept for his strength, and then told to shut his trap and just play the game.

Ok, daylight brings a fresh day. The tribes meet Jeff for todays challenge but there is a surprise in the waiting. Standing and waiting to start the game, Jeff says “Drop your buffs”. They drop their colors and must draw aw colored rocks. After drawing and exposing the rocks they picked, Holly and Brenda will be temporary captains and have to pick players for the new teams.

Holly is to pick 4 players from the La Flor tribe and Brenda is to pick 3 people from Espada to make up the new teams. Holly chooses, Alina, Benry, Chase and NaOnka to go with Tyrone, Dan and Yve to become the new Espada tribe. Brenda takes Jane, Jill and Marty to go along with Fabio, Kelly B, Kelly Purple and Sash to complete the new La Flor tribe.

The MOP is also gone from the game as Jeff collects it from the Espada tribe.

Jeff asks if anyone has a comment on the new tribes and Marty says he is glad to be part of a winning tribe and he feels good about who is on his team.

Proceeding into the challenge, is now revealed that it’s a reward challenge. Two hens and a rooster are up for grabs. I wonder if they’ll lose them like last season?

The challenge is a giant “Plinko” game. The tribes will throw balls up a ramp and 2 players from the other team must catch them before they drop off the board. The challenge begins and the balls are bouncing crazily down the Plinko side with players jumping around waiting to catch them.

Espada takes the early lead as La Flor drops the first ball. The game is to three points. La Flor makes a comeback as Espada drops the next two; however there is no need to fear, Marty’s here. Mr. Macho just manages to drop the next two and Espada wins the challenge and the chickens. What was that comment about “I’m on the winning tribe”? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, better watch your back Marty.

Back at camp, Jane lets everyone in La Flor to keep an eye on Marty and Jill because they are as tight as ticks! Mr. Macho then announces he has an immunity idol. What, WHAT, he did what?? The man is a fool and is looked at as a complete idiot (which he is). Brenda makes the comment that he’s an arrogant fool.

Later that night in the La Flor camp in the cold, windy, rainy weather, NaOnka Donk is crying because she is cold. What’s wrong girl, all that big and bad homey talk that you been spouting has suddenly disappeared. And you’re ready to go home to mama, my, my, my!!!

The next day at the Immunity Challenge ……. YESSSS. Look at the neat game, I loved it!

Let’s see, we’ll strap three people this big wheel, we’ll have three people spin the wheel. As the people on the wheel get spun around they get dunked into a tub of water where they must take a mouthful of water and when they get to the top must spit it into a funnel, and the water fills a tube with a ball in it. After filling the tube the ball is released and two members must use the ball to break five plates to win the game.

The game starts evenly but suddenly the Espada tribe realizes they need to go slow so their players can hit the funnel with more of the water that gets spit out.  With that plan they fill the tube and get the ball first. They break the first plate just as La Flor fills their tube and begin throwing at their plates. Even with that advantage, Espada falls under the “kiss of death spell” and end up losing another immunity challenge.

Back at camp, Espada is deflated about another loss, but they are also HUNGRY! Tyrone says they need t save the chickens so they will get eggs to eat. Hunger wins out and the rest of the tribe decides to cook and eat one. While cooking the chicken Tyrone makes the comment to “be aware” of your neighbor when you eat. When it’s cooked, everyone begins to chow down except Tyrone who sits back while hey eat. Finally he gets up and gets some chicken. Chase proceeds to comment that Tyrone took the biggest piece of chicken and the editing department shows cleaning his chicken down to the bone!

At TC comments are made that Tyrone was bossy when they how tribe had been operating and everyone thought he was laying down the law! Therefore, bossy and overeating gets you evicted. Oh well, lets see what happens next week!

Looks like everyone thinks NaOnka Donk will quit soon. Let’s take a poll and see who thinks she goes before or after the merge of the tribes.

Will Kelly B. take off her leg and give N.D. a beat down?

Will Marty be blind sided and not use the HII?

What’s the new twist going to be?
