Episode 37.6

I had a dream about the season of Survivor called Redemption Island. There wasn’t much to the dream. It just seemed to imply that a contestant from it had died. It didn’t say who. I wouldn’t know who would be the first to die from that season or why they would die. I guess that we’ll have to wait and find out what will happen later.

There’s another missionary that I think that you should pray for. His name is Duane Meissner and he is based in Belize. He doesn’t work there alone so if you wanted to find other people in this country to support, it would work out well too. There’s a video as well about him.



I forgot to keep track of how many men have found idols. But China brought two more men to the count of who has found idols. In Survivor: China, Todd found an idol and gave it to James. James then found the other idol, being the first person in Survivor history to hold two idols at once. Ultimately, in one of the best Survivor blindsides ever, both idols were flushed as he was voted out without playing either of them at a tribal council.

What’s interesting about today, October 31st, is that it is Reformation Day, the day that Martin Luther nailed the 95 Thesis to the door of a church. It is widely celebrated among Lutherans to this very day. So I like the fact that a season of this theme can air an episode on an important church day. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, Angelina explains that she only voted against Lyrsa since she wanted Natalie’s jacket. Lyrsa thinks that this should have been beneath her. Meanwhile, everyone seems to enjoy the fact that Natalie was voted out. The rest of the tribe thinks that Angelina should be voted out next. Christian continues to be nerdy on his tribe. I might share a video about that in the future. We then get to the reward challenge. The green tribe comes in first and the purple tribe comes in second. After the challenge, Mike wonders if he shouldn’t vote out Angelina due to the reaction that the other tribes had to her departure.

In the second segment of the show, Dan is glad that Tiva keeps winning and that he has two idols. It seems that Christian is unsure of his place on this tribe. I think that they are setting up Christian to be the nerdiest winner in Survivor history, a spot currently held by John Cochran. Gabby is upset as usual and Alison empathizes with her. Alison wants to vote out Dan. Which tribe is Davie on? I can’t even keep track as well. He is on the orange tribe. Davie thinks that there is not enough time to do a shelter thing that Elizabeth wants to do. Elizabeth gets emotional about her bad back. Carl wants her voted out now. Who isn’t a target this season?

In the third segment of the show, we get to what must be the immunity challenge. The green tribe pulls off to an early lead with all of their water releasing what it needs to the first time. The orange tribe gets it on the second trip while the purple tribe takes more than two. They have a very poor performance at this challenge in question due to people not working as well. They lose the challenge as a result. Mike is the one that did the worst in the challenge. He gets emotional talking about it afterwards. He doesn’t want to dash anyone’s dreams.

In the fourth segment of the show, Jabeni is back from their loss and Mike is thinking about the future of the game as a whole. Hopefully he doesn’t do a Travis like a Vanuatu contestant did. Angelina wants to vote out Lyrsa and Lyrsa wants to vote out Angelina. I do find it interesting that, if you check the voting records of various seasons, if two people vote against each other, one of them is often voted out. Nick wants to work with Mike. Mike is worried about the future of the other Goliaths. Maybe there is a good meme out there for him. He turns on the Goliaths and Kylo Ren shouts out: Traitor!

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council and there could be an evil hand afoot ahead. Jeff asks Nick about the strong bond between the four of them. Mike worries about a merge. The only way there wouldn’t be a merge is if there is only one member left on a tribe. Angelina thinks that there are three different things to stay in the game.

Angelina wants to stick to the plan. Those are dangerous words to live by in Survivor. Everyone has a plan. People are being flattering and this tribe seems to know only lively tribal councils. Mike thinks that everyone trusts each other. Who doesn’t actually have the trust of the tribe? I guess we will see. After the vote, it is Lyrsa who is voted out. I don’t know if that’s a good move or not.

On the next Survivor, we get to the merge and strategic plans can go awry. I had a hard time spelling that word for a bit so I didn’t know if it would work or not. Hopefully that is the word that they used in the promo. What will happen with Christian? Are they setting him up to be too obvious a target? Those people are not always voted out. They often aren’t.

Total confessional count: Christian- 15, Kara- 8, Angelina- 11, Alec- 5, Elizabeth- 10, Gabby- 12, Alison- 4, Dan- 7, Davie- 9, Lyrsa- 8, Mike- 16, Nick- 10, Carl- 6, John- 5. New confessionals this episode: John- 0, Christian- 2, Kara- 1, Angelina- 2, Alec- 0, Elizabeth- 2, Gabby- 1, Alison- 1, Dan- 1, Davie- 1, Lyrsa- 3, Mike- 4, Nick- 2, Carl- 1.


Lyrsa had three confessionals this episode. The only person who is higher than her is Mike with four. Everyone else is lower with John and Alec as the lowest with zero. As for the total confessional count, Lyrsa had eight, which is the same number as Kara. The people that are lower than her are Dan, Carl, John, Alec, and Alison with Alison as the lowest with four. Everyone else is higher with Mike as the new highest with sixteen. There’s not much else to say about this so I’ll finish this post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
