Episode 40.3

With yesterday being the start of Lent, this will affect all the Wednesday shows that I watch. I had to give up a lot of what I normally watched last year when I cleaned two banks for my job and gave up the show SEAL Team as a result. I wasn’t into Riverdale for a while and thought that I’d be spending the hiatus of this show watching The Goldbergs and Schooled, which I did for just one week. Then the promos for Katy Keene came on and I was wanting to watch that while realizing that it was a spin-off of Riverdale. Ironically, I didn’t get into Katy Keene, but am now back into Riverdale for a while.

I realize that the Wednesday schedule is changing soon. They will be airing American Housewife after Modern Family so I’ll probably be able to see that after church. I doubt that I’ll see Modern Family or the other show that I watch at eight: Nancy Drew. While I like Lego Masters, I don’t think it will work out for me to see it again unless it is on after Lent is over. I will probably be able to see S.W.A.T. when it comes back at nine. I’ll keep track of any potential schedule changes for it in the future.

This is the 400^th post of this blog. It would have come sooner if I hadn’t gotten rid of old posts from the archive. Regardless of this coming later than I would like, I am glad to have gotten this far in this blog by writing this many blog posts. Before I get to the episode, here’s a reminder of what the fire token count in the game is right now. I wonder, in the unlikely event that someone leaves the Edge of Extinction, what would happen to their fire tokens?

Fire token count: Wendell- 1, Adam- 1, Yul- 1, Sarah- 1, Rob- 2, Parvati- 1, Kim- 1, Denise- 2, Tony- 1, Nick- 1, Ethan- 1, Tyson- 1, Sophie- 1, Jeremy- 1, Sandra- 0, Ben- 1, Michele- 1; Natalie- 2, Amber- 0, Danni- 0; Sandra- idol good for two more tribal councils, Jeremy- safety without power.

In the first segment of the show, Adam recounts some of what happened since there is no longer a recap of what went on. He is weary of Rob, but wants to make sure that Parvati is voted out next. Denise has a full idol right now. The old school players turned on one of their own. Adam wants Ethan in his corner. Adam tells Ethan of his plan to vote out Parvati, but Ethan doesn’t like this plan.

On the other tribe, Sandra wants to help people in the game that she hadn’t done before. Tyson wants to get rid of Sandra and so does Yul. Tony grabs a baby shark do do do do do do out of the water so they can eat it. I have tried shark bites at a great restaurant in St. Louis called Cybergs (unsure of spelling right now). Sandra learns that Tyson is going after her.

In the second segment of the show, Danni talks about life on the Edge of Extinction and how there are no coconuts around. And here I was thinking that there were six with the three women there. The women find a tree with a number box on it. Amber finds the numbers on the crates and writes it down. Natalie knows that it is on the shells and she alters them so that others don’t figure out what she knows in the end. She wins a steal the vote advantage for someone in the game. I guess that the white tree burns for some people and stays standing for King Aragon after the battle.

Sarah gets the clue to the steal a vote advantage and has to sneak to the other tribe’s camp to get it. She tells Tony about this so she can get back-up. She does make it to the other tribe’s camp while they are all asleep. She does get it, but it is possible that someone noticed her.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge that also has a reward element to it as well. I’ve never seen a puzzle finish that exciting before. The red tribe wins again. Denise thinks that the plan is still to vote out Parvati. Hopefully, she’s right about that. I wonder: if Denise is voted out, would she have to give all of her fire tokens to the same person?

In the fourth segment of the show, Rob talks about the stand-off that was going on when the tribe got back to camp. Michele notices this too. Jeremy walks away with Ben and Denise. Ben thinks that she is more of a threat than Rob or Ethan. Adam is concerned about going after The Godfather. He doesn’t want to sleep with the fishes.

Rob tells Michele and Jeremy to vote out Adam since he doesn’t like that the plan was revealed. Adam might have a death wish since Rob might make them an offer they can’t refuse. I need to see that movie sometime so I can make more references to it. Michele wants to make sure that she makes the right move. Also, I do think that she deserved her win. You may not like who wins a season, but they deserve it.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. Ben explains how their tribe has lost so much in terms of challenges thus far. They weren’t willing to strategize at the start. Everyone is close to the others on the tribe, according to Adam. Michele compares playing Survivor to dating and you have to stick with those that make you feel better inside. Parvati knows that she is a threat and a target.

Adam somehow knows of the statue of Rob. But they would have taken that down after the season was over, right? It’s not like he has a permanent one of him as far as I know. Ethan wants to play right now. Jeff wonders if he plays to far ahead or not. He should be mindful of the future, but not at the expense of the moment. No idols are played. Ethan is the person voted out of the game. Say what? When was he brought up as a target? That came out of nowhere. Ethan gives his fire token to Parvati.

On the next Survivor, people are sure that Adam or others with connections in the game have to be voted out next. There also might be a medical emergency on the Edge of Extinction or elsewhere in the game that is hard to tell what it might be or how serious it might be. “Why so serious?” as a now lesser known version of The Joker once said.

Total confessional count: Denise- 4, Tony- 7, Nick- 1, Ethan- 5, Tyson- 5, Sophie- 5, Jeremy- 5, Sandra- 6, Ben- 7, Michele- 4, Wendell- 2, Adam- 9, Yul- 6, Sarah- 4, Rob- 8, Parvati- 6, Kim- 2; Natalie- 6, Amber- 7, Danni- 5.

New confessionals this episode: Kim- 0, Denise- 2, Tony- 2, Nick- 0, Ethan- 2, Tyson- 1, Sophie- 0, Jeremy- 1, Sandra- 2, Ben- 2, Michele- 3, Wendell- 0, Adam- 3, Yul- 2, Sarah- 2, Rob- 1, Parvati- 1; Natalie- 1, Amber- 2, Danni- 1.

Fire token count: Nick- 1, Tyson- 1, Sophie- 1, Jeremy- 1, Sandra- 0, Ben- 1, Michele- 1 Wendell- 1, Adam- 1, Yul- 1, Sarah- 0, Rob- 2, Parvati- 2, Kim- 1, Denise- 2, Tony- 1; Natalie- 3, Amber- 0, Danni- 0, Ethan- 0; Sandra- idol good for two more tribal councils, Jeremy- safety without power, Sarah- steal a vote advantage, Denise- regular idol, I think

Sorry for the wrong count in the last episode. I added one for Michele that didn’t belong. The count has now been fixed from this post onward. Anyways, Nick, Kim, Wendell, and Sophie all tied for the lowest with no new confessionals this episode. Michele and Adam had the highest with three. In terms of the total confessionals, Nick has the lowest with just one. Adam has the highest with nine. I will be back at some point in time next week with the new episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
