I don’t know who here in this
group is a fan of VeggieTales, but if you are, I plan to share at least two of
the videos from it here. I don’t know if I’ll do this or not. I might share
more. But considering how they did Dave and the Giant Pickle about David and
Goliath, I should share the silly song from it at the half way point or merge
of this season. Another song from another story featuring King David, done in
the video King George and His Ducky, would be a good one to share, especially
given the showmance of the seasons that have happened.
The idol from Cook Islands was
found by Yul. It was seen as far too powerful that season as he was seen as
practically immune with it. While they could have voted for him and gotten rid
of the idol, they never did. This makes the running tally of who found an idol-
men: 3, women: 0. I would mention more in this post, but I’ve decided that I
don’t have time and will not mention prayers for people this post. I will just
get to the episode in question after first offering an explanation.
You see, you might be
wondering why this post is late. I didn’t have time until now to watch it,
which is why I didn’t watch it before. I have family over and thought that it
would be best to just watch the show when I could, which was on Friday. Thus,
I’m writing and publishing the post today after having missed my chance
previously. But enough of my ramblings.
In the first segment of the
show, we get to Jeff bringing people into the place where they are being brought
into. Bi is deciding to leave the game. Is she quitting? That’s so weird! All
because of an injury that isn’t serious enough to get her pulled? This doesn’t
make sense to me. The tribe swap is somehow considered unpredictable. They are
split into three tribes and one person doesn’t have a buff. The tribes now have
Goliaths outnumbering everyone on every tribe. Maybe this show is rigged. Carl is sent to Exile Island
and the old tribe names are gone. Christian talks about the gerrymandering that
is going on with the new tribes. I don’t know if gerrymandering is really as
bad a problem as people think in reality. On Survivor, it is.
People on the new orange tribe
get used to their new home. I don’t know if keeping track of the names of the
tribes will be important or not so I’ll just call them by the color. Natalia is
concerned that Kara is connecting too well with her opponents. On Exile Island,
Carl learns that there is an advantage that he has to get quickly before the
tide takes it away, thus explaining the confusing promo. At first, the edit
tries to trick us into thinking that the advantage might have floated away.
Man, some people really hate floaters in this game. But he does get an
interesting advantage: an idol nullifier. It comes with some stipulations and I
don’t know if he’ll get only one chance at using it.
In the second segment of the
show, the purple tribe appears to be weak, according to Mike. Once again,
Natalie bosses people around and people don’t like it. Nick wants to work with
the Goliaths in the game. Mike tells Nick about how Dan has an idol. We then go
back to the green tribe which was named after the most notable showmance on
NCIS. Christian wants to bring forth the charmpocalpse, which is the name of
this episode. Gabby worries about his close links with people. But Christian
thinks that they are doing good things together. But she’s still worried.
In the third segment of the
show, we get to what is probably the immunity challenge. It is the challenge
and the first place tribe will get a reward in addition to immunity. Didn’t I
say that would be a good way to do things? First place should win reward and
immunity, second place, just immunity. I forget just how long ago I suggested
that. The green tribe comes in first. Despite trailing for a while and
struggling at the end, the purple tribe comes in second. This means that the
orange tribe will go to tribal council. Kara thinks that the vote will be
straightforward.
In the fourth segment of the
show, we get back to the orange tribe after their loss. Elizabeth wants to find
the idol and takes Davie with her. She doesn’t know that he has the idol. But
there could be an idol for this tribe. Davie tells the former Goliaths about
this. What is in about being on the wrong side of the numbers that gets the
minority to ensure their own defeat? But things get more scrambled now than a
great egg breakfast. People want to turn on Natalia maybe. Alec considers
flipping, but knows that there are dangers with doing it since the Davids would
have the numbers if the vote happens this way.
In the fifth segment of the
show, we get to the tribal council at hand. Or is it at foot? Or maybe at nose?
Natalia thinks that the vote is easy. Davie thinks that Elizabeth should be
voted out as she is too much of a threat to win down the line. She’s got
friends on the other side. Are you ready? I’m going have to put a link to that
song in here now. I still haven’t seen that movie. People think that Elizabeth
is a threat. Alec openly whispers something into Elizabeth’s ear. Natalia
questions everything now. After some side conversations, we get to the vote. No
idols are played. Natalia is voted out. I did not get why there were three
people voted for.
On the next Survivor, there
are different storms following the fallout of the vote and the issues against
Natalie continue. There is also yet another terrible storm that is affecting
people. I don’t think that I have seen storms this bad on one single season
before. I know that they have had to evacuate all of the contestants for a day
before, but the storms seem to be ruling this season. Perhaps that will be more
of a theme to this season…
Total confessional count: John-
5, Christian- 12, Kara- 5, Angelina- 6, Alec- 4, Bi- 3, Elizabeth- 7, Gabby- 9,
Alison- 2, Dan- 5, Davie- 7, Lyrsa- 4, Mike- 10, Nick- 6, Natalia- 5, Carl- 4,
Natalie- 7. New confessionals this episode: Mike- 2, Nick- 1, Natalia- 2, Carl-
1, Natalie- 1, John- 1, Christian- 4, Kara- 2, Angelina- 1, Alec- 2, Bi- 0,
Elizabeth- 3, Gabby- 2, Alison- 0, Dan- 2, Davie- 4, Lyrsa- 0.
I’ve decided not to tell you
what the total for each people is or means going forward. You can count with
the two people who were eliminated in this episode, Bi and Natalia, and see
what their numbers are with the others going forward. Now I wish that I could
say and knew for sure whether or not I will be back on Wednesdays for the rest
of this season until Advent. I should be there for as often as I can be, but I
know that the episode before Thanksgiving could get tricky. We’ll see what
happens and I hope to be on time as often as possible. For now, this is Adam
Decker, signing off.
