Episode 31.11

One of the most annoying things about certain times of the year is that despite it being special to some people, television is still airing new episodes. Other times, they get into Christmas sooner than they should. Of course, now I am finally willing to embrace the Christmas season now that Advent has begun. Sorry that my posts will now be a day later. But it will be a problem for me too. I hate not seeing this show live. I also hate missing various episodes of shows that air on Thursday. But they aired a new episode of Elementary on Thanksgiving. How am I supposed to watch it? Last year they aired a new episode of The Big Bang Theory on Thanksgiving and I still haven’t been able to see it. Meanwhile, other Thursday shows that I watch right now are Bones, Sleepy Hollow, Grey’s Anatomy, and The Blacklist. I can’t watch The Player anymore since that show ended. I’m not sure which of these shows might have been effected by having new episodes air on Thanksgiving. I don’t even care enough to record them. But the main problem with them will come later. I'll be sure to complain about that then.

I don’t know if I’ve told you about this before or not, but I’m planning on starting a new blog about the TV show CSI: Cyber. I’ll be sure to post the link to the blog here if I ever create it. I almost certainly will be creating it in the future. I’m just unsure of when I’ll start for sure.

This potential medical evacuation has me wondering about the contestants and their stories thus far. Different edits both in the promos and that people have may point to what the answer is. While we won’t know until the episode airs, I’m still going to speculate, even though we’ll find out during the episode what will happen anyways. SPOILER. From what I can tell, it won’t be a woman that gets medically evacuated. The promo made it sound like a man would. What we saw of the person was white skin as they are treated for their injury. Keith has had a pretty invisible edit thus far. But it looked like a younger person. Spencer has been shown enough that it might not be him. I predict that it’s Joe who gets medically evacuated, although we’ll see for sure what happens later. There might not even be a medical evacuation at all. END SPOILER.

I still don’t know if I should talk about the edits of various players still in the game. I mean, it is clear that some are being shown more than others. Some are either too negative or too invisible for them to do well in the long term. You’d think that they would air the fact that Kimmi has done much better this time than the last time. But maybe it doesn’t matter for her.

When it comes to confessional counts, I may add a table about it in the future. I just hope that I can figure out how to rearrange names since we are reaching the point when it becomes a problem for me to do so. I also hope that blogging about the rest of this season’s episodes on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays isn’t a problem for anyone. That’s what will work best for me. I am pretty much forced to record the episode on VHS and I watch it the next day when I post the blog after watching it. This is due to Advent. I’m at church when Survivor would typically air so recording it is the best option. Meanwhile, people probably wish that I would update my other blogs about TV shows the day of or after the episode airs instead of whenever I feel like. As of this blog post, I haven’t added any of the posts of this season’s Good Wife episodes.

There was breaking news before Survivor aired. I don’t think that it affected the airing of Survivor. I do wonder what morons keep doing these shootings. Do they want guns banned? That’s what’s going to happen if they don’t stop doing that. Meanwhile, any laws about gun control will only affect those that legally have guns. What are they going to do to stop the people that get their guns illegally? Something has to be done about them. Meanwhile, I should probably not talk about political stuff here in this blog of mine. It’s about Survivor. And I’m doing rambling for now.

In the first segment of the show, Spencer talks about how he helped vote out Stephen. Also, what’s with the voting blocs this season? I don’t remember something like this in a previous season. Kimmi talks about an all girls alliance which probably won’t actually happen as they never tend to work.

In the second segment of the show, we get to the loved ones challenge. It’s interesting that a former Survivor contestant can appear as a loved one at a challenge. I’m not sure that I’m against that, but it does seem unusual. Spencer is finally able to tell his girlfriend that he loves her. When did Survivor become a generic plot for a sitcom episode? I shouldn’t make fun of this, though. Interesting how Keith’s loved one isn’t Wes. But Kelley’s loved one is Dale. We get to the challenge next. Kelley is the winner, meaning we’ll see more of Dale. The people whose loved ones she picks are Keith, Abi, Kimmi, and Joe. I wonder why those were her picks.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the barbeque and loved ones visit. Not much is gathered from the visits and we don’t get to see everybody’s reaction to it. They randomly make it one man and one woman winning the immunity challenge. Kelley wins the woman’s part and Keith wins the man’s part due to Joe having medical problems.

In the next segment of the show, Joe is okay after his problem. It’s kind of a fluke the way he lost the challenge. But that typically doesn’t happen. There’s not a sort of precedence for that. He is upset that he lost the challenge. There is talk that either Joe or Abi will get voted out. Tasha spills the beans about the planned all girls alliance. Didn’t I say that it probably wouldn’t happen? Tasha didn’t want anyone else to find out about the alliance. But she does want Joe voted out of the game. We get to tribal council next. People talk about how Joe is a threat and that voting blocs aren’t as good as alliances. We then get to the vote. Who will be voted out? No idols are played. Joe is voted off. This means that Worlds Apart is eliminated from this game.

On the next Survivor, Jeremy and Spencer are worried. There might be yet another problem regarding a medical situation. Boy there seems to be a lot of medical problems this season. I wonder if it will be like Heroes versus Villains was in terms of there being a lot of injuries in a single season.

Total confessional count: Joe- 23, Spencer- 39, Jeremy- 24, Keith- 8, Tasha- 16, Abi- 20, Kelley- 28, Kimmi- 10. New confessionals this episode: Kimmi- 2, Joe- 3, Spencer- 5, Jeremy- 4, Keith- 1, Tasha- 3, Abi- 1, Kelley- 3.

Keith scraps the bottom of the confessional count with only 8 confessionals. He is now the only person to be under 10 confessionals. Meanwhile, Spencer has the highest confessional count of those still in the game with 39. Joe had 3 confessionals this episode and 23 total. Hopefully, I can figure out how to rearrange names in the future. I don’t think that I have a problem with it yet, though. Anyways, we approach the end of the game soon. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
