Episode 39.3

I currently have a bit of a problem that isn’t too big or bothersome. You see, I am missing a lot of the shows that air on Wednesdays due to having to work. I’m even watching more than I know that I should be watching. After Survivor is over, I watch Modern Family while finishing the post, publishing it, and then checking one of my emails. I already watch Riverdale online since I can’t see it any other good way right now in my mind. I’m ignoring SEAL Team and might not be able to see the new shows of Nancy Drew or Almost Family that I might have wanted to get into. At least I can still record S.W.A.T. for later. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, the purple tribe returns from tribal council and Jason is glad that he has stayed after the vote. Jack was blindsided. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think that you can claim that you were blindsided if you survived the vote. Your ally was. Tommy Sheehan seeks to do damage control with Jamal. Jamal says that he will forgive, but won’t forget. Only assholes do that in my mind.

On the other tribe, Karishma talks about being in her underwear to fit in with the others. Did the jocks play a prank on a nerd? That sounds like what they did. Vince isn’t sure of what to do on his tribe. The woman’s alliance is talked about. Dan talks about who he thinks should be voted out next. He wants Noura to be the target since he feels that everyone hates her and others think that she will flip. Of course, Dan might now be the target. But this isn’t even after an immunity challenge. What’s all this talk of who to vote out doing in the first act? People want to vote out Jamal next. A person gets injured, but I can’t tell which woman it is.

In the second segment of the show, a boatman comes for Vince. He is being sent to the Island of the Idols. Why doesn’t Jeff come and do this? Elizabeth thinks that they will have to flush any idols. Dean suggests that they should split the votes. But he says this in front of everyone. Smooth, Carter. Karishma is worried and she was the injured woman. At the island, Vince is star struck to the point of crying. It can be influential in the game for him to have their advice. Vince is told to sneak into the camp and is told that he needs to get fire from the other tribe and not get caught. Survivor: Impossible starts now.

Vince decides to take the risk and is given a map of the other tribe’s camp. Rob and Sandra give him some advice about what to. At the camp, someone is having a bad dream. Do they notice him yet? The fire is dead since their fire isn’t dry. He puts coal and ash in his water bottle. He leaves and people must not have noticed him or that it was someone who wasn’t supposed to be there. Rob and Sandra call this a win and he gets the idol as a result.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge at hand. Do we not have the time for a reward? Or is the Island of Idols like a reward? Janet causes a major time loss for her tribe. Damn it, Janet! (How appropriate that I get to make that reference this close to Halloween.) Despite this initial set back, her tribe wins since Karishma and Dean fail terribly at the puzzle. Aaron thinks that it could be a bit complicated going into the vote since Vince could (and does) have an idol.

In the fourth segment of the show, Tom Laidlaw thinks that the vote should be split between Karishma and Vice with Karishma as the main target. But Missy doesn’t want to be told what to do. (You go girl!) She is worried about the woman’s alliance and doesn’t want to be going after a woman. Karishma is said to be a personal injury lawyer. And she suffered an injury on the show? She doesn’t want to throw out a name. Chelsea thinks that Tom Laidlaw should be the secondary target against Vince to ensure that a man is voted out. But she is worried about the men’s reaction and making the right move.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. People talk about how they are doing badly at puzzles and are currently 0-2 with wins regarding puzzles. Karishma thinks that she can be an asset on the tribe even if she’s bad at puzzles. The tribe wants to win and if they don’t, it would be quite puzzling what their problems could be. Oh, wait… Tom Laidlaw is thinking that Karishma is acting when she goes and whispers in the ears of other players. One of the players doesn’t vote right according to the split. But who is really the target once the votes are cast? No idols are played. Vince is voted out. Poor Vince. And he did all the sneaky work that he could have done to get it.

On the next Survivor, romance is blossoming, there is a decision needed with the Island of the Idols, and there are a bunch of people blindfolded at the challenge that will happen next. I can’t gather much from the promo so I guess we’ll have to see what happens next.

Total confessional count: Karishma- 6, Tommy Sheehan- 5, Jamal- 4, Dan- 2, Elaine- 5, Chelsea- 3, Lauren- 2, Elizabeth- 6, Missy- 4, Janet- 2, Kellee- 4, Dean- 1, Tom Laidlaw- 3, Jason- 5, Aaron- 5, Vince- 9, Jack- 2, Noura- 1; Sandra- 5, Rob- 5.

New confessionals this episode: Missy- 1, Janet- 1, Kellee- 0, Dean- 1, Tom Laidlaw- 1, Jason- 1, Aaron- 2, Vince- 5, Jack- 1, Noura- 0, Karishma- 4, Tommy Sheehan- 2, Jamal- 2, Dan- 1, Elaine- 0, Chelsea- 1, Lauren- 0, Elizabeth- 1; Sandra- 1, Rob- 2.

Vince had the highest total confessional count after this episode with nine. The next highest is a tie between Elizabeth and Karishma. Dean and Noura tie for lowest with one a piece. In terms of the new confessionals, Lauren, Noura, Kellee, and Elaine have zero a piece. Vince was the highest with five with the next highest being Karishma with four. We’ll see what all happens with these players later. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
