Episode 40.7

I forget if I told this blog before or not, but I had lost FOX on my TV tuner and had to rescan channels to get it on the TVs that I have. I have had issues at times putting the CW shows on my TV tuner. So this makes you wonder, if shows compete against each other on the two networks that I both like, what would I choose? Also, be glad that you found this post as most people can't find post 404.

Starting with Sundays, there is nothing from 6-7 on the CW. I could watch shows on FOX, but tend to watch CBS at this time and never really watch FOX unless CBS is on delay. I tend to watch shows based on seniority, but this is not always the case. Starting at 7, I would choose Batwoman over The Simpsons and I don’t like Duncanville anyways. At 8, I would choose Supergirl over Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy even though the other two have been on longer since I feel that Arrowverse should win all conflicts when it comes to what I watch, at least when both shows are new.

On Mondays, I was choosing Black Lightning over Prodigal Son, but might choose Prodigal Son over Roswell, New Mexico. I won’t know yet if I’ll do that especially since Roswell, New Mexico has been on longer. I don’t currently watch the CW show at 7 on Mondays, but might if something that I care is put on there until they are able to do more of Supernatural. I’ve never seen Supernatural.

On Tuesdays, I would choose The Flash over The Resident as much as I like The Resident. I’ve never seen Empire so I don’t know what I’m missing there. Thus, I would be watching Legends of Tomorrow and all the conflicts with it would only be dealt with other networks that I either wouldn’t care about or would not have trouble putting on my laptop to record.

On Wednesdays, Survivor is the only thing that I watch at 7 unless it is the winter or summer hiatus. I have not seen The Masked Singer anyways and watch Riverdale later online. At 8, I would watch Nancy Drew over Lego Masters, despite liking both shows. Nancy Drew would win based on seniority and the recurring storylines that I might otherwise miss.

On Thursdays, FOX doesn’t air anything that I care about right now. At one point, I was going to check out the show Filthy Rich, but they decided to air Deputy then instead. I don’t like Deputy after seeing it the one time that I watched it. I don’t like Katy Keene and have yet to give Legacies a chance, something I will not likely do since it is part of a franchise. I’m not watching Friday Night Smackdown on FOX so I would have no conflict with the CW shows of Charmed and Dynasty.

Fire token count: Tony- 1, Nick- 2, Sophie- 1, Jeremy- 1, Ben- 1, Michele- 4, Wendell- 1, Adam- 1, Yul- 2, Sarah- 0, Kim- 1, Denise-1; Natalie- 4, Amber- 1, Danni- 1, Ethan- 1, Tyson- 0, Rob- 0, Parvati- 0, Sandra- 0; Jeremy- safety without power, Sarah- steal a vote advantage, Sophie- regular idol.

In the first segment of the show, we see the edge of extinction. Parvati talks about being voted out before the merge and how it sucks. But she likes that Sandra arrives here later. Sandra’s humanity was the problem. She normally isn’t human? Sandra doesn’t want to do more in the game and wants to raise the flag. Doesn’t that make her a quitter? A two time winner is quitting? She does leave and is convinced that she will always stay the queen.

Yul on his camp talks about Wendell’s craziness at tribal council. We then see Wendell apologize to Michele about this. But Wendell just wants to play his own game, losing the respect he meant to give others almost immediately. Michele had given Wendell a fire token to show him respect in the game. Ethan struggles to survive on the edge of extinction. He needs to find hope or he will destroy himself. Parvati thinks that fasting is good for the body. I wouldn’t be so sure of that, but have never tired it myself. Ethan thinks that Parvati keeps him strong.

Ethan sees something that they must open together as they each get a scroll, each getting their own clue. There are four fire tokens for all of them. They all race to find them. Tyson finds one. Everyone thinks that no one found the other fire tokens, but Rob had found the other three and somehow hid them from the others.

In the second segment of the show, Tony runs to a palm tree and thinks that things are doing well on his tribe since Denise made big moves. But Jeremy thinks that Tony is a bit full of himself. Meanwhile, Kim wants to gain control of the game. Denise thinks that she is taking control of the game while making sure that others don’t quite know it. On the other tribe, people look for an idol with no one outside of Sarah and Sophie knowing that Sophie has it. Adam has to do damage control and feels that others had done a fake search. He is convinced that Sarah has it.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. Nick was on the losing tribe of this challenge the first time around. The green tribe wins thanks to an early lead. The red tribe just barely beats out the blue one for second place. Nick thinks that it sucks to lose it again. Yul wants to get rid of Wendell after the challenge loss, feeling that Wendell dug his own grave. At the challenge, Wendell might have lost his focus when to me it seemed like he was just trying to make sure he didn’t win and not get the point if another person called it first.

In the fourth segment of the show, the tribe gets back to camp and Nick thinks that Wendell was the person that they should vote against with Yul agreeing to this. Yul and Nick agree to tell Wendell that Michele is the target. Meanwhile, Wendell wants to work with Michele and talks to her. The fire tokens provide some complications to what will happen. Yul wants to risk getting votes in order for Michele to get his old fire tokens. But some of the tribe wants to get rid of Yul. Michele, quit talking about how fans looked down on your win. You deserved it and make a much better winner than Aubry would have. It seems like things might be crazy going into the vote.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to the tribal council at hand. Wendell is thrown off by a smirk that Jeff gave at the start. Jeff points out that all of the old school players are gone outside of Yul. They are not actually done per say. They just aren’t in the main game. Yul talks about the fire tokens and how they play into the game in question. Jeff talks about how you have to trust someone even as you have to blindside them from the game. Wendell isn’t sure that he wants to work with Michele. She takes this to mean that she doesn’t care for him.

Nick thinks that today was different going into the vote and talking about the edge of extinction. He is not sure that he wants to work with others. Michele thinks that they are both blessed and cursed in the game. The votes are then cast. Yul is voted out by the rest of his tribe. When he gets to the part about the fire tokens, he gives one to Sophie and the other to Sarah. This makes him the first person to give them away to multiple people, something that I wasn’t sure could be done, but I guess can be.

On the next Survivor, there is a merge going on and lots of potential targets are being brought up. But what will happen with those on the edge of extinction? Yul thinks that they’ll get to battle back in soon and talks about his tribe’s close loss.

Total confessional count: Sarah- 9, Kim- 6, Denise- 8, Tony- 10, Nick- 7, Sophie- 11, Jeremy- 11, Ben- 11, Michele- 10, Wendell- 6, Adam- 18, Yul- 11; Natalie- 8, Amber- 12, Danni- 7, Ethan- 9, Tyson- 12, Rob- 17, Parvati- 11, Sandra- 9.

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

Fire token count: Jeremy- 1, Ben- 1, Michele- 3, Wendell- 2, Adam- 1, Sarah- 1, Kim- 1, Denise- 1, Tony- 1, Nick- 2, Sophie- 2; Natalie- 4, Amber- 1, Danni- 1, Ethan- 1, Tyson- 1, Rob- 3, Parvati- 0, Yul- 0; Jeremy- safety without power, Sarah- steal a vote advantage, Sophie- regular idol.

Rob has the highest confessional count of anyone on the edge of extinction with 17, making him the most likely to reenter the game should the next challenge be the opportunity for it to happen.  Adam has a bit more of those in the game with eighteen confessionals. Kim and Wendell tie for the lowest with six a piece, and I might have made a counting mistake. We’ll see. Ben was the only one in the game to have zero new confessionals.  Yul had the highest in the new count with three. There isn’t much else to say about things so I will let you go. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
