Some of you might know about
the current California wild fire that is going on. Some of the Survivor
contestants from seasons past have been in this affected area. I can only hope
that they are okay and doing well. Not all of them have originally responded to
the safety check that facebook did.
I wonder how long Karishma
will last this season. You wouldn’t think that she would last long, but she
might actually surprise us. I don’t think that she’s our winner, but don’t know
why we’ve seen so much of her thus far. Why do people keep picking others to
vote out instead of her? I hope that she’s not the winner because she would
make a terrible one if she is. There is some purpose to her still being here in
the game so you’d think that they get rid of her at some point. But enough of
my ramblings.
In the first segment of the
show, Noura thinks that they could go with an easy vote against the old members
of the other tribe, but wants to target her rivals from her old tribe first.
Dean just dismisses her as crazy and tells Jamal about what she said. Now she
is the target. On the other tribe, there is a tarantula at the shelter. The
tribe doesn’t know if they want to draw for rocks or not. Jason thinks that things
are good in the hood.
We then get to the reward challenge.
Elaine is picked to sit out of the challenge and is sent right away to the
Island of the Idols. Whoever is put on the sled has to be a target shooter as
well. The tribes each have different ways of getting the bags where they need
to go. Vokai wins the chickens. They went into beast mode for sure. Dan thinks
that all they do is win, win, win no matter what. He is also worried that
Elaine might get an idol.
In the second segment of the
show, we get to Elaine arriving at the Island of the Idols. Rob is using his
free time to build a mansion shelter. Elaine was annoyed that she was the sit
out. She has the heart of a lion and strength of an ox, if I got that right.
Well I’ve got the heart of a lion and the wings of a bat. Rob starts a timer
and Elaine has to decide whether or not to accept the challenge before the
timer runs out. She doesn’t hesitate to accept the challenge before much time
runs out.
Rob thinks that she was cocky
as he usually does. Does this mean that she will fail? She know has to grab a
block a vote advantage during the next challenge in front of all her tribe
mates. Sandra likes Elaine now and thinks that she might do well. Back at the
main camp, there is a do rag comment that Jack says and Jamal is upset by.
There are things that I don’t understand, but guess that know I do. I just
thought that do rag was a random phrase that meant little to nothing important.
Is do rag even the right way of spelling it? I guess I have to go to Wikitonary
or something like that.
In the third segment of the
show, Elaine reveals to Elizabeth about what happened. Either she will get to
block a vote or lose her own vote. We then get to the immunity challenge.
Elaine is able to grab the advantage and might have lost it for a moment, but I
think that she was able to keep it. Vokai is doing well in the challenge. Tommy
Sheehan, henceforth to be referred to as Tommy, is the shooter for his tribe. Lairo
wins the challenge, which makes sense as we only saw stuff from this tribe.
Elaine talks about her huge advantage in the game.
In the fourth segment of the
show, it is loser, loser chicken dinner on the Vokai tribe. Elaine thinks that
they should tell Missy and Aaron about the advantage. Things are often never
simple in Survivor. Aaron still isn’t sure that he wants to work with Elaine.
Lauren thinks that she might know what is going on. Dan is accused of being
sketchy. So many people are certain that they are in control. But everyone
can’t be in control at once. Who is really in control?
In the fifth segment of the
show, we get to the tribal council. Why would people eat doughnuts when
Survivor is on? You eat that with breakfast. So you wouldn’t eat doughnuts at
night, probably. Rob is hoping that Elaine got the vote blocker. Can one tribe
convince the other to vote with them? Most of them admit to being willing to
draw rocks.
Elaine reads her advantage to
the tribe. She blocks Jason’s vote. Rob doesn’t think that he could be the
target. Elaine still thinks that she can be friends with Jason and Sandra is
convinced that they aren’t going after him. Lauren gets emotional. Everyone on
the old Lairo tribe talks about what they think is going on and Elaine is
probably still the target. If only she had an idol. Nobody plays an idol. Jason
is the one voted out. Does that mean multiple people flipped? Or did no one
flip?
On the next Survivor, an
empire falls and something new rises. Meanwhile, other possibly confusing
things happen in the show, possibly. I guess things are changing in the show
and it is hard to tell for sure what might be going on.

Elaine had more confessionals
in just this episode than all the previous episodes combined. At eight, she has
the highest count of all the contestants this episode. The lowest is a tie
between Karishma, Janet, Tommy, and Kellee who all have zero. As for the total
confessional count, Elaine has the highest count with fifteen. As for the
lowest, Janet has only three. Outside of Elaine, the players of Aaron,
Karishma, Jamal, and Missy are the ones higher than both Rob and Sandra in
terms of confessionals. Jason had eight total confessionals with just one this
episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
