Episode 28.10

Well, as you might have guessed already, I have a Survivor dream to tell you about. This may have to do with me watching Pirate Master online. So this is really more of a crossover dream. As usual, it spewed different details of Survivor seasons in the past. Apparently, Stephanie wanted to get to the final two in Guatemala with Bobby Jon but wasn’t able to when Gary played his hidden immunity idol. But I think that the alliance was made up in the dream. But Bobby Jon was playing Pirate Master with Rafe. My mind thought into the dream when this would have happened since there was only one season of Pirate Master and neither of those people were in that. So, maybe it was a similar show to Pirate Master or the show was somehow revived. Bobby Jon developed a rivalry with a man on the show (Pirate Master) which describes what has happened every season of Survivor that he was on. I still think that a good all-stars season of Survivor would have returning players facing their rivals on the other tribe. I was trying to think of who would work, but I couldn’t find enough women. Rafe, who would make a great returning player but never has been offered to return (to my knowledge), was doing well in the game of Pirate Master, even though the dream didn’t say what ended up happening. I don’t know why Stephanie was in the dream, but I guess that was for (false) clarity’s sake and she wasn’t in Pirate Master (the dream version, of course).

You know, with Jeremy out of the game, that means that one of my predictions for a finalist is wrong. You see, based on one of three alphabetical orders that I use to determine the winner, his place among them is no longer there since he was voted out. This means that Tony is now a winner instead of Jeremy. Jefra and Woo both remain as winners. It would be clear who would win in a final three among them. But I don’t know who would be in the real final three. It could even be a final two, although I don’t think that it will appear again, for a while at least. Tony being the winner of this season would give me mixed feelings. I can’t tell if I’d be happy or disappointed if he won. I don’t know who I’d rather have win (probably Spencer). I am WAY behind on my friend’s podcast which usually has good information relating to this. They don’t do spoilers, but the predictions mentioned there are usually right. But I plan to get caught up over time. In fact, I would constantly go to their podcast sometimes and find nothing new there for me to listen to, so this might be unplanned retribution. Of course, I will listen to their podcast more when I have time. But since I’m so behind on everything I typically do in life, then it makes sense for me to not use it.

You know, sometimes the Survivor Live after Show at www.cbs.com gives a lot of good insight into the show. But when I saw an interview with Jeremy, he said something that might be a spoiler. This could just be speculative here, but let’s see what exactly he said. SPOILER ALERT! According to Jeremy, he didn’t know that Tony had the special idol until he watched the episode where Tony got it. Now this could be something that was just misleading. But he does know more of what happens because he’s at the final tribal council as a jury member along with other people. So how could he not know that Tony has the idol? Is the idol never played throughout the game? The rules of the idol say that he COULD (potentially, but might not, I’m guessing) lose it if he tells people about it and he can’t give the idol to anyone else. So I’m a little confused here. The last time an idol of this power was in play was in Panama and Cook Islands. They were found by Yul and Terry. They both still have those idols. So maybe Tony’s idol is never used. But that doesn’t seem to make sense. Surely, he would need the idol, right? I don’t know how Jeremy would never have known about this sooner. So I’m a little puzzled by this, although I guess we’ll find out more information about this later. END SPOILER.

There are just seven players left in the game. Jefra is the only remaining player left of the original beauty tribe. After losing three members after the first four tribal councils, the other three members of the brains tribe are still here. And the brawn tribe has three members left. Now, I already told you about my dream to have a final three in Survivor’s future composed of members of each of the three starting tribes. I don’t think that will happen this season. I don’t know if that will ever happen. It would be nice, but unlikely. Kass, Tony, and Spencer still lead in the confessional count. Like many people, I’m hoping that Spencer pulls a come from behind win. I don’t know if I’d love or hate the idea of Tony winning the game. I can tell you that I would be impressed if that happens. But it better not be the editing they did with Samoa (what a shame he doesn’t win) that they give to what they think is the best player but obviously isn’t because they didn’t end up winning the game. Of course, some more liked players never actually won (depending on who liked them) and some winners that weren’t so popular. I don’t understand why people don’t like Jenna Moresca, but I would understand not liking certain winners. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, Jefra finally gets her tenth confessional this season. People talk about Spencer playing the idol. The next day, they get money for the Survivor Auction. Tony is going to make sure that he gets an advantage at the immunity challenge.

In the second segment of the show, the Survivor Auction happens. Tons of people aren’t buying anything at the auction. They are waiting for something good to happen. “Woo is going to get woosy.” That’s funny, Kass. There were no letters from home and the advantage was bought by Tony for $500 while Spencer, while trying to bid for it, got a useless rock for the same price. Tony, despite winning the auction, was upset that he didn’t really get any food. So he might end up getting two different hidden immunity idols. He also might be concerned about Spencer’s BS as one normally is.

In the next segment of the show, there was a dead crab in a box which might be symbolic as it normally is during Survivor randomness. Also, the immunity challenge was won by Tasha. And Tony found a regular hidden immunity idol to go with the special idol.

In the next segment of the show, Tasha might be doing stuff to get people to either flip or at least look like they are flipping. Spencer is glad that his lying has paid off. There might be an all women alliance, but there really isn’t. Spencer is holding onto this possible lifeline. However, him looking for the hidden immunity idol may make Tony vote for Spencer instead of Jefra. Anyone is fair game. After the drama at tribal council, it looks like the person voted out was Jefra. So there are now no more beauties left in the game. It turns out that the men and Tasha are the ones who voted Jefra out of the game. This might be the first time that a group of men were able to outsmart a woman’s alliance. Oh, and on the next Survivor, Tony might finally get what’s coming to him. Or is it?

Total confessional counts: Woo- 12, Kass- 24, Tony- 42, Jefra- 10, Spencer- 29, Tasha- 16, Trish- 17. New confessionals this episode: Spencer- 5, Tasha- 3, Trish- 1, Woo- 1, Kass- 3, Tony- 7, Jefra- 1.

Obviously, the low confessional count at this point is a terrible thing to experience. It reminds me of Jenn Lyon from the tenth season. Let me quickly add the confessionals this episode to the total count. I’m still unable to add Survivor: Borneo to the list, but we’ve reached the point where the special would have actually been able to be rolled for. So it may be a while after the finale of the current season before I can finally start watching the first season. Plus, I need to get my mother to watch stuff on the tapes that’s for her. And, a special thing on the tape for me can finally be watched. I still don’t know whether or not to have seconds of my food. Oh, that’s right. I’m supposed to be talking about the confessional count. Tasha looks like she might make it far, but whether she could actually win is unknown. I predict that I have no idea what will happen although it seems like someone will. Is it Spencer pulling a come from behind win? Will Tony get what he deserves? What does he deserve? I’ve lost the point of this blog post. Tony is probably going to win. But does he make a better villain than Ciera? It’s hard to tell. I think that he’s better than Russell Hantz if he wins. He’s just a wannabe if he doesn’t win. I’ll figure out how to rearrange these names. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
