Episode 26.9

Sorry about the comment that I started in my last blog post that I never finished. I forgot to complete it before I quickly posted the blog. As I was trying to say before, Corrine was asked to be on Heroes versus Villains, but was too busy with work. She must have gotten time off this time. I'm glad she got to compete again, even if she didn't do so well. If Phillip gets another rival again, then we might know who might get voted out. There are only four fans left in the game. But if the favorites continue to turn on themselves, then maybe the fans do have a chance. Also, I have no idea if people who read this blog are on the west coast or not. Most of the friends and family that I know that I think read this blog are on the east coast or Central Time zone. I'm just wondering if people on the West Coast get treated to tweets from Jeff Probst or not. I thought that he might do them on the East Coast and maybe he does on other weeks. I'm just surprised that he wasn't on this week. I hope that I will be able to tweet live as usual on future episodes (so ignore my tweets if you are in a different time zone) and hopefully there won't be too many problems. I could always be on twitter during the west coast feed of the episode, whenever that is here, so maybe I will hear more from that side, if I want to stay on that long. I hope that I can do both blog and tweets in future episodes. But you will know what happens if I'm not on when it happens. I also wonder how they prevent spoilers from happening online on twitter or if they don't even care. They probably don't even care. Remember, my twitter account is @IamAdamDecker if you want to follow me. Just be warned that I have a lot of other opinions and stuff that I like to tweet about. Also, don't follow me if you live on the West Coast.

You know, Jeff Probst says that he wouldn't want to do a Celebrity Survivor but a lot of things happen in the show that he was against. If they do a Celebrity Survivor, they could have five tribes with two men and two women on each tribe. They could always do without one of the tribes I suggest in case they can't get people that would best fit it. I would have a tribe of famous singers, famous writers, famous comedians, famous actors, and famous politicians. Of course, another way that I think they should do a season with five tribes would be an all-stars season called Survivor: Champions. There would be two men and two women on each tribe with only one representative from each season. The five tribes would be divided by how they played the game the first time. There would be a tribe of strong players, a tribe of social players, a tribe of smart players, a tribe of lucky players, and a tribe of players who were screwed in some way out of the game. But next season I hope that they have only two tribes, no returning players, and no other twists that last for most of the game. If it isn't that way, I won't be mad, but I do hope that a "normal" season does resurface at some point. If they have to do returning players, Sandy and Sierra, who were screwed in a way by the opening twist of their season would be good returning players. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, Phillip talked about the 23 days that the tribe has gone through. The reward challenge happened and the team of John, Erik, Reynold, Eddie, and Michael (or at least I think that it was them), ended up winning the reward challenge, which was cool. Also, I just realized that there are only four women left in the game.

In the next segment of the show, Andrea and Eddie started a showmance. (That term even has a wikipedia page.) The immunity challenge is a classic from Palau episode ten: Exile Island, which marked the unofficial introduction of the memorable twist. It was the immunity challenge then too, I think. Apparently it was also in Micronesia. Brenda would win the challenge.

Now there's something strange that I don't fully understand that happened to my Word document where it looks differently than it normally does. But as to whether or not it will be different as people are reading this is another question entirely. It might not be different for you at all. I'm not sure why I'm bring it up. Hopefully things will be normal in the future.

Meanwhile, things happened at tribal council. I don't fully understand what went on. Michael got voted out. The strangest part was when Malcolm convinced Reynold to give him the idol and play it instead of Reynold.

Next time on Survivor, Dawn might be quitting? Or she is going through a medical emergency? I found it hard to understand what the preview meant. If she did quit, she would not be on the jury and that could mess things up like James's evacuation might have done in Micronesia. If it is a medical evacuation, where the emergency itself isn't shown on the promo, then it could be the rumored second evacuation of the season. I heard potential spoilers about Dawn's progress in the game, but we have yet to see if they will be proven or unproven in the next episode. The promo could be misleading. So I'll wait until the next episode to see what the heck will happen. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
