Episode 37.5

It is interesting to think that this is the first season where the names of the tribes changed partway through it. We’ve never seen that before. I don’t know if Exile Island will return for any more of this season or not. What I do know is that there was some contestant this season who might have had some sort of controversy with a social media account of theirs. I forget who it might be. Maybe if I knew of someone who could shed some light on it, then things would make sense. What was the controversy? I should look it up somewhere because I don’t know myself.

Last episode mentioned a contestant as having friends on the other side. There was a song called that from the movie The Princess and the Frog. I still haven’t seen that movie. I really should. It is one of the few cell animated movies not to be on VHS. I wonder if people care that they don’t make cell animated movies anymore. Anyways, enjoy this song.


Going back to the idol count, I should point out that Fiji was the first season to have the idol as we know it today. There were lots of different firsts with it. Yau-Man found it at camp after learning that it was there in the first place. He kept it and used it to save himself from elimination. The other camp’s idol was found by Mookie. He gave it to Alex to play and Alex wasted it when another was successfully voted out instead. Earl found the last idol of the season and played it by default when he last could. He did not get rid of any votes this time because of it. There are still no women in this timeline who have found an idol. That makes the running tally men: 6, women: 0.

I don’t know offhand if there are other contestants that might need praying for. I might want to check at least one of them to make sure that they are good now. But I figured that I might as well get into all of the missionaries that I support right now. There are four of them and the one that I’ve been supporting the longest are my aunt and uncle, Cindy and Steve Schumacher. They are both Survivor fans and have not seen any season since Cagayan was on. Once they are back here long term, I might buy them all of the seasons that they missed. What I do know if that they work in Ghana and if you would like to learn more about them, then click on this link for more information about them.


There was a comment on an old blog post in this blog. I might have to go back to the old post to do more of a proper reply to what they said. It was a while ago that I did the top ten jury speeches in my mind. But I don’t think that I should have done it because of my lack of knowledge about such things and the fact that I don’t really remember as well what all of them were.

I planned to do other jury based posts, but never wrote them and deleted the ideas since I couldn’t think of what to say in them. But I will, if I can remember to, that is, reply to this commenter about what he or she said. I do like the comment even if this person disagreed in a way. This person was respectful about it, which not everyone is. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, Carl is introduced to the tribe. Kara is confused by what happened at the tribal council and Alec’s betrayal. She has some scrambling to do. Meanwhile, we see the Tiva camp. Gabby was worried until she saw the sun. And here I was thinking that Tony and Ziva had a daughter together. Natalie is happy about the weather that is storming around her. That cements her as a villain. When do heroes enjoy terrible weather? The weather floods the Tiva camp. People are evacuated from the island for the first time since season 33.

In the second segment of the show, we get to the Jabeni tribe after the storm. I wonder if they had to separate the three tribes in three different areas or if they were put together. All of the tribe see one disaster after another. But we don’t get much time back as we get to the reward challenge. The reward this time is chickens. The second place tribe gets a dozen eggs. The orange tribe wins and purple tribe winds up second.

Kara wants to turn on her charm on her tribe after the vote. She tries to bond with Elizabeth but Elizabeth wants to vote her out. There are arguments over the eggs that Lyrsa thinks is causing problems. Everyone hates Natalie, it seems.

In the third segment of the show, Christian wants to be part of the tribe of men. Dan looks for a second idol. He finds a clue to an idol which is at the challenge. I wonder why they don’t normally do this. He needs to not be caught doing it. The orange and green tribes win immunity with the purple tribe just barely losing. I couldn’t tell for sure if Dan got the idol. I think that he did, but it’s a bit hard to tell. Lyrsa wants to vote out Natalie, although the odds are against the Davids.

In the fourth segment of the show, Natalie wants Nick to be voted out. Angelina wants Lyrsa’s jacket and she gets Natalie to do the dirty work. Nick learns that Lyrsa is actually the target. Natalie wants to get Nick’s jacket. Nick wants to get rid of Natalie and tells Mike about this plan. Mike wants Natalie voted out only he wants to make sure that Angelina is okay with it first. I still don’t know what’s with the jacket thing. Angelina questions if they should vote out another Goliath. But will the vote matter?

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. Angelina wants to stick Goliath strong. But Lyrsa doesn’t think that this should be the case. Natalie is never the center of controversy on her tribe. Lyrsa knows how to cook right. Mike has issues with Natalie. Angelina has had difference with her. All that Natalie is interested in is jackets. It is someone or the jackets.

Natalie wants help with the jackets and Angelina was the one who was interested in it. Mike talks about all of the things that are going on with the vote. She has the last word saying that she doesn’t want it. Yeah, sure, right, uh-huh. After the votes are cast, it is Natalie who is thankfully voted out. Angelina asks for her jacket as she leaves. Natalie keeps it.

On the next Survivor, Mike doesn’t trust Angelina, enemies become friends, and Elizabeth cannot stand stupid people. That’s a modern day problem. Nobody can stand them and that’s how many issues in this world happen because there are far too many stupid people in them.

Total confessional count: Alison- 3, Dan- 6, Davie- 8, Lyrsa- 5, Mike- 12, Nick- 8, Carl- 5, Natalie- 9, John- 5, Christian- 13, Kara- 7, Angelina- 9, Alec- 5, Elizabeth- 8, Gabby- 11. New confessionals this episode: Alec- 1, Elizabeth- 1, Gabby- 2, Alison- 1, Dan- 1, Davie- 1, Lyrsa- 1, Mike- 2, Nick- 2, Carl- 1, Natalie- 2, John- 0, Christian- 1, Kara- 2, Angelina- 3.


I know that I have missed or probably missed some confessionals as usual and might have given some to the wrong people. But I think that you should know that by now. Anyways, Natalie had two new ones this episode, the same number as Kara, Gabby, Mike, and Nick. The only person higher than them is Angelina with three. Everyone else is lower with John as the lowest with zero. As for the total number of confessionals, Natalie had nine, the same number as Angelina. The people who are higher are Christian, Gabby, and Mike, with Christian being the highest with thirteen. Everyone else is lower with Alison as the lowest with three. I’m not sure what else there is to say so I’ll end this post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
