Episode 43.7

When shows were airing earlier this year before and then during Lent, I didn’t watch anything that aired at 9 during that time and wouldn’t again until a bit earlier this year. I never got into anything during that time. While I didn’t start seeing anything on the new schedule at first, know that I’m finally watching a Wednesday show at 9 again: Chicago PD. We’ll see if this remains the only one. I am watching this despite the fact that I don’t watch the rest of the franchise that the show is part of.

 

В выпуске Time от 7 августа 2019 года была опубликована статья под названием «Мифы об отчете Мюллера, который просто не умрет» на страницах 20 и 21 этого номера. Я назову некоторые из них правдой, а не мифом. Люди должны знать, что Мюллер действительно обнаружил сговор и препятствия. Два автора этой статьи (Барбара МакКуэйд и Джойс Уайт Вэнс) отмечают, что, несмотря на лежащее в основе преступление, существуют препятствия для отправления правосудия. Трамп мог совершить это преступление, не добившись прекращения расследования. И указывает, что президент может препятствовать правосудию при осуществлении исполнительной власти.

 

В важных частях этой статьи говорится, что «Российская разведывательная служба провела… операции против кампании Хиллари Клинтон», при этом заявляя, что «предвыборная кампания [Трампа] ожидала, что она получит электоральную выгоду от информации, украденной и обнародованной усилиями России», заявив, что Мюллер сказал, что «это… не освобождает его [от преступлений]», говоря, что никто «в этой стране не настолько высок, чтобы быть выше закона», указывая при этом, что «закон наказывает попытки [препятствовать правосудию]», и заканчивая указать, что «в преступлениях обвинялись 37 физических и юридических лиц, в том числе более двух десятков граждан России», доказательства чего доказывают вмешательство России в выборы 2016 года.

 

Last time, I mentioned different things that I want to set up to again, starting with the usual songs that had a challenge of this show named after it. The first one is Got to Choose, a Kiss song. It seems to work as a pretty good song. I don’t share songs that I don’t like in the end. I can’t even make it through the whole song at times.

Now, I’m getting to the Pinball Wizard song that the Who did. I don’t think that it would ever work for a theme song in the CSI franchise, but I did share this and a lot of other songs by the Who in my CSI: Cyber blog back in preparation for the premiere of CSI: Vegas.

I need to cover the Pinball Wizard Survivor challenge since I was able to find it on YouTube. It was split into two parts for some reason. But now that I can see it again, it is quite clear that it can be done while social distancing. I wonder if they’ll do it again. It does make the whole puzzle concept that is overused more interesting in my mind.

Since I mentioned it in the last post (I think), I might as well get into some of what my favorite YouTuber has done on his channel. He is most known for a video called Sooubway. He actually did four of these so I will get to the others later.

Continuing on with the football team updates of mine, I should tell you that the next highest team that I root for is the Carolina Panthers. I forget why. Maybe the location was struck by a disaster. I don’t think that they beat a team that beat the Rams in the playoffs. It could have been affected by a mass shooting or some other act of terror. They are team 15 for me. This makes me wonder if I should get whatever player from these teams has that number, if any of them do. I could do that for every team that isn’t at the bottom of what I root for.

 

While I was wanting to do more research into who snooped through Gabler’s bag in episode two, I might have to go back to looking at True Dork Times since I didn’t put it in my blog, fandom doesn’t have it, and neither does Wikipedia. I hope that I have time soon for that between this week and next. I also seem to think that based on Gabler seeming to have an edit like Mike in season 42 and Xander in season 41, I am thinking that if trends hold, there will be a likely finale doom for Gabler with him coming in second place in the game. We’ll see if he even makes it that far. But enough of my ramblings.

 

In the first segment of the show, Jeanine talks about being left out of the vote. If I had a dollar for every time that this happened, then I’d have a lot of money. How many episodes begin this way? Owen thinks that Gabler is an issue and should be voted out. Gabler plants his now worthless idol at camp. The tribe then gets treemail about dividing into pairs for the upcoming challenge. Nobody wants to make moves. They decide to draw rocks randomly for partners. They just had that there? Is this like how JT just somehow happened to have pencil and paper in Heroes versus Villains when he gave his idol away?

 

In the second segment of the show, we skip to the challenge with more explanation as to how they did the rocks even with me wondering where the paint come from. Or was that part of treemail? More of the pair twist and when it doesn’t matter anymore is explained. Two people have struggles going through the net and lose it for both of their pairs. There is a tenderhearted moment before we get to the next part of the challenge in the next segment later.

 

In the third segment of the show, we continue with the long challenge. There are blunders that get two of the pairs out of the challenge. The last part has people giving inspirational stories as they do this. In the end, Gabler wins the challenge. Gabler tells people not to give up and that they can do Survivor. Then Jeff tells people that they can do Survivor.

 

In the fourth segment of the show, we get back to the tribe after the challenge. Gabler talks about his support for veterans. Sami then talks about how more people can be voted for. They talk about who they should target. At the well, a group of people learn about the advantage hidden at their shelter. James was going to wait until after tribal council, but looks for something. Oddly, we don’t yet know what it might be. Unless this is Gabler’s useless idol, which I don’t think that it is. James and Ryan are brought up as a potential split vote. But Noelle and Dwight are also brought up as targets.

 

James does have the knowledge is power and he tells a lot of people about this. Why does he tell Ryan about it? Jesse is given this idol in the meantime. Jeanine gives her idol to Dwight. Some people are now just playing musical idols and advantages despite not actually knowing, but still believing, that there could be a knowledge is power advantage. Who had the advantage given to Owen? It was some woman. It seems that Jesse thinks that something could go wrong.

 

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. The challenge was to represent the struggles of the game thus far. Dwight seems to imply that they are all one tribe now and they don’t see the old tribe people anymore. It could be like surfing or Jaws. People seem to think that they know how things will fall. But one of the men (I can’t tell who) says that he is uncertain of where things will go. When the votes are cast, it is Dwight who is voted out. It is odd that he’s not on the jury.

 

On the next Survivor, I couldn’t get much out of the promo and might not have paid that much attention having somehow gotten distracted as it was airing. I don’t know what there is to say about it then. I don’t know how I missed it despite watching it.

 

Total confessional count: Dwight- 10, Jeanine- 10, Cody- 16, Cassidy- 5, Karla- 11, Gabler- 14, James- 11, Owen- 16, Noelle- 8, Sami- 11, Jesse- 14, Ryan- 7.

 

New confessionals this episode: Noelle- 1, Sami- 2, Jesse- 1, Ryan- 1, Dwight- 1, Jeanine- 2, Cody- 1, Cassidy- 0, Karla- 0, Gabler- 3, James- 2, Owen- 3.

 

While I haven’t finished writing either of them yet, I will have a post of Borneo ready right after this season is done airing and I will post it then. I’ll also have to get a post of China ready once this blog is able to be posted on Fridays again. I have no idea just how long it will be until Blood versus Water or Sundays will be available yet. But I don’t have any posts of that ready yet or will for a while. You’ll see them when you see them. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
