Hopefully this season can be
good. I should tell you right now that if I am blogging about an old season and
haven’t finished those updates yet, they should still be continuing in the
future. I don’t know yet what will happen in the future with this blog as I
don’t know what could change in the future. I will mention it in previous blog
posts if I haven’t already.
I’m going to make a prediction
about something ironic that might happen this season. I’m going to predict that
someone in the healers tribe will wind up medically evacuated. I also do feel
that this season seems like a redux of heroes versus villains, only the
hustlers tribe replaces the villains. They must have added the healers as
another good tribe in order to offset the power that villains typically have. Plus,
it will be interesting to see how this works with all new players and if they
were correctly cast or not. The villains, I mean hustlers, will probably be the
tribe to look out for this season. I am interested in seeing what all they can
do with a healers tribe. And hopefully these heroes can be better than the
terribly miscast heroes of the twentieth season.
I had a dream that I had
missed most of a Survivor finale or somehow wasn’t blogging about it for some
odd reason. It makes me wonder what would happen if I wasn’t able to continue
the blog for any reason. Well, if you stop seeing updates, then I would suggest
reading this blog.
Honestly, I’m going to include
in future wills that I write a list of potential people who I would like to
have as potential replacements for me in terms of someone who could write a
Survivor blog. That’s not to say that it would need to happen or even have to
happen. But there are plenty of people that I know that like Survivor that I
feel could create a blog in their spare time. Even my sister used to have one
for a while, but she has a baby now so I doubt she could focus her time and
energy into that.
It appears that me potentially
blogging about Survivor: Gabon will have to come later as I do not yet have a
copy of it. Maybe I’ll get one in the future and I could always buy myself a
copy in the future if I wanted to. We’ll see what happens, but it wasn’t a
birthday present for me in the summer of 2017. I’ll let you know if I ever get
it as a gift for myself.
On Candy Crush the TV show,
they had Survivor contestants on at least the first episode. This reminds me of
the time that I blogged about the special Price is Right episode that related
to Survivor. But, after watching the first episode, I wondered if I could even
blog about it as I like to blog in terms of summarizing, and it didn’t seem like
I could summarize it. Besides, the show
is strange and I don’t know if I’ll watch all of it anyways. That is why you
didn’t see this at all. But you probably didn’t care.
While I didn’t wind up needing
to do a break with this blog, I was all ready to stop posting for a bit if I
had to. It turns out that I didn’t have to. But a grandmother of mine died this
month. If I had missed a post as a result, this would have been the first post
that I would have done after it. I don’t know what I would do if a death
occurred during the middle of a season and it caused me to miss any episodes.
Of course, I’d be at the funeral or wherever I need to be instead of blogging.
But I shouldn’t have any problems with this blog unless there are more problems
with Thanksgiving related travels, another death, or some other problem.
I won’t know until I watch the
show who all is worthy of being on the tribe that they were assigned. Some of
the job choices that I originally saw seemed strange on first look but made
more sense the second time I looked. I guess I’ll have to wait and see. But
enough of my ramblings.
In the first segment of the
show, we don’t get that much of an intro which is actually a nice change. The
extremely long introductions can be bothersome. It is weird that Jeff calls all
the tribes good traits. How is being a hustler a good thing? Plus, I already
don’t think that all of these people would be good since there would probably
be a villain on any one of the tribes. Jeff thinks that hustlers are respected
for their strong work ethic. Hold on while I look up synonyms for the word
hustler. Sadly, Word does not offer any. Maybe I’ll look it up on Wiktionary. The
opening challenge will get all but the losers some form of fire. It seems
really early to give two of the tribes fire. Ryan gets a secret advantage. I
think that I know the twist already, but I’ll wait for it to be described later.
The hustlers fail at the challenge that just might have been the easiest one in
the history of the show. I forget who was first.
The healers are shown getting
to their camp first. Jessica seems to develop a crush on someone. I once had a
crush on a Jessica. We knew each other in second grade before she moved away.
If you are that person and are single, then let me know. I don’t know what
happened to her and if she has the same last name. I tried finding her on
facebook but don’t know how to spell her last name. Also, I don’t know what she
would look like today. There are day one alliances forming already. The Tagi
alliance might have done that if only Kelly stayed loyal. I can’t think of any others.
Ryan is dying to get into his pants. Coby from Palau once asked producers where
he would go if he wanted to masturbate. He didn’t get an answer and was embarrassed
that he asked the question. Ryan learns of the super idol that is good at only
the first tribal council and whether he is cocky or not, he feels that he has
all the power.
In the second segment of the
show, Mike was told by his ten year old son to look for the idol. It is a risky
strategy, but it can pay off. It can also backfire and get you targeted like
what people are doing now. I did watch Survivor at the age of ten and am still
watching it sixteen years later. I don’t understand the whole idol
conversation. Joe might not be trusted but I don’t know why. Ryan tells Devon about
his advantage because he doesn’t know Survivor 101: keep any advantage or idols
to yourself. Alan thinks that JP can’t be trusted. What all is even going on
right now? This seems hard to follow. Alan tells people about an idol that
doesn’t exist as this is a good idea?
In the third segment of the
show, we get to the immunity challenge already. There is still a whole half of
show left so this makes me wonder if things will be crazy as usual at tribal
council and camp life. Or they might not have a fifth segment on this show this
time. I predict that the hustlers will lose the challenge. Jeff confirms that
ties are back in, but I don’t know if he fully explained it in a better way
that we cut due to time constraints. Basically, a revote will happen if there
is a tie. Healers win the immunity challenge and they were forced with the
unpicked option. A ball needs to drop. I hate it when balls don’t drop like
they are supposed to. The heroes tribe which picked first their puzzle loses.
Chrissy has problems after the challenge happens but seems to be okay later.
Ryan wonders who will get his idol. It seems kind of dumb that he can’t just
keep it until his first tribal council. But I guess this way is more
interesting and would have taken the sting of losing off. Also, a contestant on
this season is local so I might have to tell you more about her that I learn on
the news tonight in the next post.
In the fourth segment of the
show, Ashley wants to vote out Alan as he isn’t trustworthy. Alan doesn’t trust
anyone. Geez, this may be a worst heroes tribe than the first one. At least the
other one sucked in a different way. A question that I wonder is who will get
the idol and how? When will they get it too? Chrissy gets the idol to little
surprise after her weird issue after the challenge. The tribe marches off to
tribal council as a lead-in to the commercial break.
In the fifth segment of the
show, we get to the tribal council at hand. Why is it worthy of its own whole
segment? I guess that we will see, but I already sense tons of dysfunction on
this tribe. Chrissy thinks that she is at the bottom of her tribe. Alan thinks
that denying something that isn’t true is a sign that you can’t be trusted. He
seems crazy, but hopefully one that wouldn’t get more crazy if you called him
that. *cough* Phillip *cough* I don’t know what to think going into the vote,
but it seems that the idol would not need to be used unless someone other than
Alan gets the majority. Katrina gets the most votes and the idol isn’t used
because Chrissy voted against Katrina as well. The heck just happened?
On the next Survivor, there’s
a new power couple, but I can’t tell who it is since I don’t know who all is
who yet. One of the hustlers is getting crazy and I can’t really gather much
from what is going on only that each of the tribes gets a story.
Confessional count: Alan- 3,
Patrick- 1, Ben- 2, Ali- 2, JP- 1, Chrissy- 1, Jessica- 2, Roark- 1, Cole- 0,
Joe- 2, Simone- 0, Ashley- 3, Devon- 1, Katrina- 1, Lauren- 1, Ryan- 5, Desi-
1, Mike- 2.
Katrina had only one
confessional, the same as Devon, Patrick, Lauren, JP, Desi, Chrissy, and Roark.
The people lower are Simone and Cole who don’t have any yet. Everyone else is
higher with Ryan as the highest currently. Why was Katrina voted out? That didn’t
make any sense. Did they think that she would cause problems because a
hurricane would later be named that? Stupid hurricanes have been ruining
everything this year for just the past few months. Have we ever had this many
at once? This world is far too sad and crazy nowadays so I can hope that things
aren’t too bad in the future. I hope that I can be more positive in the future.
For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
