Episode 37.11

I’ll admit, there hasn’t been as many good shows on Wednesdays this season like there have been in other seasons. I watch this show, SEAL Team, and Modern Family. That’s it. If this show didn’t compete against other shows that I like, I might watch the shows Riverdale, The Goldbergs, American Housewife, and Chicago Med as well. Of course, I can’t currently watch four shows at once and I don’t think that I care as much about Chicago Med anymore. I do watch Riverdale online at times. I need to get caught up on it so I understand the Gargoyle King. If you read my Madam Secretary blog, it will mention in January what I’ll watch on Wednesdays when this show is on hiatus.

In Heroes versus Villains, the season was crazy with various idols. Tom found won for his tribe and used it to successfully save himself. He also used a flipper to prevent someone from his alliance to be voted out instead of him. Later, Russell used his idol on Parvati, a successful gamble that caused someone not in his alliance to get voted out instead as it could have easily been him voted out. JT then found an idol and in a famous dumb move (which you can’t say was good because it didn’t work), he gave the idol to a member of the other tribe, that member being Russell. With him wanting to save Parvati, he gave the idol to her. Little did Russell know, she already had an idol.

Parvati ended up giving both idols away. One went to Sandra and the other went to Jerri. The idol that was played on Jerri was successful as that is who the other side had targeted and who was saved as a result. Russell found another idol and his paranoia caused him to waste it. Sandra then found an idol and played it at the last time it could be played. It was sort of a waste, but not really as it could have saved her. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, Nick is upset over the vote of Carl being voted out. He now regrets that he saved Christian through his three advantages. I thought it was two. The Mason-Dixon Line is dead. Who would have thought that such a thing would cause divisions? Oh, wait… We then get to the loved ones reward challenge. The pair of Angelina and Nick win the challenge and invite David and Mike with them. It seems like they want to be in the final four, the people on the reward, but Davie questions whether or not he wants to be part of it or not.

Gabby now questions Christian’s motivations after he had done to his girlfriend what he had done to her. People want to vote Christian out. Part of Gabby’s reasoning as to why she wants to do that is that she wants to be seen as making a big move apart from him. But is betraying your ally a good idea? It did not work out well for Tai.

In the next segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. They finally brought back the when it rains, it pours challenge. How long has it been? I know it is a different variation of it. Mike is the first person out of the challenge. Gabby falls out when switching to phase two of the challenge. That’s my favorite phase! I wonder why they are doing it. Alison is the next person out. Angelina is then out. Nick is out next. Christian is randomly out because the wobbly person is normally safe. After a fly distracts him, Davie drops out and Kara, Supergirl, wins the challenge. Alison thinks that they should move forward with the plan to get rid of Christian, but thinks that he could cause issues. He does have an idol.

In the next segment of the show, Gabby talks about possibly blindsiding Christian and what she has to do in order to win the game. She’s been shown as too emotional and I wonder if she could. But I also think that a Christian win might be too obvious. Nick is on board with voting out Christian. They want to get rid of Gabby if Christian plays his idol. Davie doesn’t want to get rid of his shield in the game, that shield being Christian. Davie tells Christian about the threat against him. This makes Christian question what he should do. He talks to Nick about it. Nick isn’t buying Christian’s apology. Christian still wants to vote out Alison for some reason and ponders over whether he should play his idol.

In the next segment of the show, we get to tribal council. Nick talks about how he is upset at Christian. Nick says that they rebuilt their relationship. But I don’t know if he’s being honest or not. Gabby wants to make moves on her own from now on. Jeff talks to Alison about how she might be a threat. Mike thinks that they might not always vote out the right person. After the votes are cast, Christian decides to play his idol. A majority of people voted for him. Gabby is somehow voted out. What? Was Christian the only person who voted for Alison? I did not see that coming.

On the next Survivor, there are tons of people who could be the target in the future. As usual, it is hard to gather much, if anything, from the promo. Why do they always have to be so vague? Well, I guess that it would be worse if they just straight up told us what was going to happen.

Total confessional count: Christian- 29, Kara- 20, Angelina- 22, Gabby- 23, Alison- 11, Davie- 17, Mike- 23, Nick- 21. New confessionals this episode: Alison- 1, Davie- 2, Mike- 0, Nick- 3, Christian- 2, Kara- 1, Angelina- 0, Gabby- 2.

Gabby had two confessionals this episode, with Davie and Christian tying her. The only person higher than her was Nick with three. Everyone else was lower with Angelina and Mike as the lowest with zero a piece. As for total confessionals, Gabby had twenty-three, the same number as Mike. The only person who is higher is Christian with twenty-nine. Everyone else is lower with Alison as the lowest with eleven. We’ll see what happens in the next episode. I might even do an analysis on who might win based on the edits that I’ve seen. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
