Well, there’s not much to say
in this introduction of mine. I just know that I should be given my eyes a bit
of a break as I’ve been sick with a whole lot of things, pink eye being one of
them. I even took breaks from all the movies that I was watching to limit my
screen time. In fact, if I’m ever not here on time or if I’m not posting at all
anymore, then go and read this blog instead.
Let’s get to the idols from
One World. Due to the twist this season of two tribes living at one camp, they
had a layer of this season with the idols in terms of what could and couldn’t
be done with it. Basically, each idol had to be found by a member of a tribe it
was designated for or given to that member. Sabrina found an idol, but she
found the idol for the Manono tribe and she was on Salani. Thus, she had to
give her idol away and she gave it to Colton whom she felt could benefit from
it more due to not being liked on his tribe. When Colton was evacuated, he had
the chance to give his idol away. He wanted to give it Jay who was on the other
tribe at this point, but the rules forbade it so he kept it as he was pulled
from the game itself.
The Salani idol was found
after they got the beach to themselves after the tribe swap. Kim was the one
who found it. She was safe without it and never needed it. Troyzan found the
rehidden idol that was replaced upon Colton’s exit. He knew he was a target,
but wasted it when he only got minority votes. Kim’s idol was given by her to
Troyzan after the season was over. He sold the idol on eBay, but the buyer
returned the idol to her.
Lent is going to be starting
soon and I normally give up all Wikia related sites for it. But I won’t be able
to learn information about different hidden immunity idols as well from other
sources. While I could take a break from telling you about it until after Lent
is over, what makes more sense is for me to not give it up this year. I know
that I could also learn all the information and write it down for the gap, but
I do not think that I’ll do that. I could give up Wikipedia, but having found a
page like this, I don’t know if I could ever give up that site again.
Now I normally wouldn’t give
up stuff for Lent and it was 2011 when I first tried to do something. I did
fail at that and thought that in 2012, I would give up three things so I could
fail at two of them and still be good on the other one. Well, it turns out that
I did get rid of all three successfully. It used to be that I would always give
up Wikipedia which I did from 2012-2015, but I haven’t given it up since. Giving
up all Wikia sites is what I’ve been doing since 2014-2018 and it was my
longest streak. I now give up a grand total of five things instead of just
three, trying to double it once, but failing at one of those six things. I’ll
get into that more in the next post. But enough of my ramblings.
In the first segment of the
show, we go to the Edge of Extinction (so this isn’t an island?) where Reem is
at by herself for now. She doesn’t know what’s going on right now. She finds
information about the place and learns that there is no timeline on this place.
She seems like a confused viewer would be when they talk about such a new
twist. She’s emotional. I wonder if quitting the Edge of Extinction is the same
as an actual quit. I don’t know why that would be.
Wendy talks about the tribal
council and other things like it. She blames Kelley over her ally, Reem, as the
one who was voted out. I may like Wendy for now simply because she has Tourettes
Syndrome. Wendy thinks that David is okay to trust this time around. Kelley
wants to get people to find the idol to make sure that Wendy doesn’t get it.
Aurora thinks that her tribe
is doing well, despite being strange by singing. Aubry doesn’t like the tribe
for being the way they are, although she thinks that it is good that they are
together while they last in the meantime. Victoria thinks that Aubry is working
with too many people. Isn’t chinchilla the code word to tell the boss about
something, maybe related to the talismans or demons of the season? I can’t
quite remember for sure, but Jackie Chan might know.
In the second segment of the
show, people are looking for an idol. Someone thinks that Kelley already has an
idol. David wants to get rid of Kelley since he thinks that she’s gunning for
him. David wants to make sure that things are careful going into a blindside.
David and Rick seem to be allies, although Rick, possibly joking, but maybe
not, says that he’ll cut David’s throat at four.
Gavin and Eric look for idols,
but people take notice. Julie and Victoria look for idols of their own. It does
not seem like someone on this tribe knew who the hunters and the gatherers
were. What happened when she played Ages of Empire? And has she never heard of
hunter gatherers? I sadly think that it was just men who did things back then,
but not as much women. Lauren finds an idol on her tribe.
In the third segment of the
show, we get to what must be the only challenge of the episode. In this
challenge, you have to get the cat out of the bag, I mean, the snake out of the
cage. There is a reward, but who would want spices in Survivor when you could
have fishing gear? This was a challenge that had been done before and Aubry
talks about losing it due to a big and heavy snake. Maybe it just sounded like
you lost it due to the intense pleasure you were experiencing?
Surely, black people know how
to swim, right? Keith struggles and I’m honestly not sure if I can think of a
lot of black men on Survivor who couldn’t swim. Gervase comes to mind and that’s
it. Comma knows how to handle their snake. But the blue tribe does not know how
to get it up. Maybe they need a blue pill in order to get the snake to come up.
Man, I sure hope that kids don’t read my blog posts. At least they will just be
confused instead of outright traumatized.
The tribe of comma needs
letters. The yellow tribe, comma, seems to be doing better. And they win the
challenge. They do a weird sort of like chant thing at the end. They got back
to back wins. And now we get to take a break from comma. Yes, I know that’s not
how you spell the name of that tribe. But I do not exactly care. The blue tribe
is heading back to tribal council as they couldn’t make things go up and Wardog
talks about things, but I can’t make much sense of what he said.
In the fourth segment of the
show, Keith talks about his failures in the challenge. Wardog wants to vote out
Keith while Kelley is certain that Wendy should remain the target. David doesn’t
know what to do as a result. Chris feels that he can get loyalty from Keith so
it seems like Kelley might be the target. A wave is shown in the ocean, but
what does it mean? While people don’t trust Kelley, Wardog wants to keep her
until at least a tribe swap. People feel like this is the vote to take out
Kelley. She is worried that she will be voted out and blindsided. But what will
happen?
In the fifth segment of the
show, we get to tribal council. Jeff asks Wendy if she is concerned about the
fact that she got votes in the last episode. It is believed that Reem is the
person who voted for Kelley, but I did not keep track of if this was the case
for sure or not. Keith is brought up as something that they think should be
voted out of the game. Will the contestants go for loyalty or strength? Or will
they go for something else entirely. Wardog and then David are asked how the
vote will go. Keith is asked as well. Jeff points out to Kelley that a
blindside seems likely.
The votes are cast and no idol
is played. Keith is the person who gets voted out as a result. He thought that
he knew how the vote was going to go. At least they were right about a
blindside happening. He then gets to choice after the vote. He doesn’t seem to
know what to do. It doesn’t seem like we will find out this episode what choice
he makes. Would he really not try to stay in the game?
On the next Survivor, it is
clear that people don’t want to work with the returning players and Wendy might
have an injury or infection of some sort. Meanwhile, on the Edge of Extinction,
Reem is hoping that someone joins her soon or she may have to quit. But why
hasn’t she eaten? Is there nothing there to eat or is she just not taking care
of herself? I guess that we won’t know Keith’s decision yet.

Keith had two new confessionals
this episode, the same number as Kelley, Rick, and Victoria. The two that are higher than him are Wardog
and David with David as the highest with four. Everyone else was lower with
Joe, Julia, and Ron tying for the lowest with zero a piece. As for total, Keith
had five, tied with David as the highest. As for those with four confessionals
total, they are Rick, Wardog, Wendy, Kelley, and Reem. Everyone else is lower
with Julia as the lowest with zero.
There’s one important thing
for me to say before I finish this blog post. Next week is Ash Wednesday. This
means that I’ll be moving this blog to Thursdays instead of Wednesdays until Lent
is over. I know that I could just watch the episode later on Wednesday,
especially since the shows that I care about will not be on after Survivor
right away (except for one). Now you know. I’ll be back on Thursdays from this
coming week onward. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
