Episode 43.9

While I now know of two Survivor deaths, I will now mention the one that was covered first in fandom. That would be the death of Roger from Amazon. I had already sent out my wishlist really early at my brother in law’s request. This will be another old season that I will want at some point in time. Note that when it comes to the ranking of Amazon versus the other seasons, I have it ranked as 33 out of 42 seasons (as the current one isn’t yet ranked), which is incidentally the lowest of the average seasons with the next lowest being the best of the bad seasons.

 

В выпуске Time от 7 октября 2019 года рассказывалось о российской дезинформационной кампании на выборах в США, начавшейся в 2016 году. Они также пытались повлиять на те, что были в 2018 и 2020 годах. Вероятно, они будут делать это снова и снова. Статья под названием «Глобальная война против правды», начинающаяся на странице 37, была написана Ричардом Стенгелем и адаптирована из его книги «Информационные войны: как мы проиграли глобальную битву с дезинформацией и что мы можем с этим поделать». В статье говорится, что «русские купили вашу информацию, чтобы убедить вас в том, что в Америке полный бардак».

 

На странице 39 приводится список мер, помогающих распространять дезинформацию, включая, помимо прочего, следующее: «Запрет иностранным правительствам, организациям и частным лицам покупать онлайн-рекламу для оказания влияния на выборы в США… Обеспечение большей конфиденциальности ваших данных… Удаление поддающимся проверке и доказуемым образом ложная информация… [и] назначение [лица или группы людей] для борьбы с дезинформацией и вмешательством в выборы».

 

It seems that I once again stumbled onto a song that I possibly never would have otherwise. This one is called Unchained Medley, a song that was done by many others but was first done by Todd Duncan. I just wish that he didn’t look drunk while doing this.

While this is now my second time watching a Survivor Geek video, it doesn’t seem to be the best quality as the video and audio are out of sync at some point. It also seems weird that he is splitting this up into multiple parts when it should be quick enough. Just how bad of a copyright strike does he have? And why not learn from that? Anyways, watching the Full Tilt Boogey Survivor challenge, it is clear that the way that they do it can’t be done while social distancing since people are tethered together. If they did a version of this where it was just people individually doing it, then it might work while social distancing. It is hard to tell for sure.

Continuing on with more work stories from The Odd Ones Out, this is his third video on working at the place called Sooubway. He mentions how he earned more money doing just the first two videos on the place than he ever did working there. I doubt that I will have time to mention my vlogs about working at a shooting complex as much as I would like. But we’ll see if my channel will even get monetized.

I don’t have time for football updates this post but I should do the usual pre Thanksgiving warning that I don’t know for sure if I will be happening around that time of year or if I will be too busy to blog about or even see the show right away once it airs. I’m hoping that potential family visits won’t mess up or change things too much. The fact is Thanksgiving is next week and I have no idea what is happening. I think that I know where it will be and possibly who all might be there. But I don’t know much else about what all will be going on. But enough of my ramblings.

 

In the first segment of the show, Sami talks about how he didn’t want to vote out Jeannie, but didn’t have the numbers to do anything else. Owen is pissed about having been left out of the vote. James is starting to think that everyone who is close to him gets voted out. It isn’t long until we get to the next immunity challenge. They split into two groups. Each will go to separate tribal councils. The last group to have a member standing wins reward and right to go to tribal council last. Also, is it just me or is it hard to catch who all is on what group?

 

In merely writing that last paragraph, I can’t catch who all is in which group that drops out of the challenge. Ryan and Cody are the showdown in their group. Karla outlasts Sami in her group. She thus wins immunity as a result. But she doesn’t win reward for her group. Cody then wins his immunity and reward for his group. Karla talks about her win and still having stitches in her hand. When did that happen? I must have missed it.

 

In the second segment of the show, Cody talks about his immunity win. People want to vote out Cassidy. But she knows this and gets emotional wanting to stay in the game. Karla and her group have to go to another camp until their separate tribal council happens. Owen is nearing his breaking point. He and James get into it. And this starts to happen in front of the entire half of this tribe. Owen doesn’t like that James wasn’t honest about Jeanine getting voted out before it. James wants to vote out Owen.

 

In the third segment of the show, it is still uncertain who might be voted out. Do they want to get rid of Ryan? They think that how the other group votes might affect who they vote out. Meanwhile, Noelle wants to use her steal a vote power to get rid of James. She tells him about it under the guise that she is getting rid of the potential for Owen to use his shot in the dark by stealing his vote. This is to ensure that James doesn’t use his knowledge is power advantage. She would actually do this to Owen so that her advantage isn’t stolen.

 

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the first tribal council at hand. Jeff gives a sum up of the tribe. We get to the issues between James and Owen. Does James have a robot voice to other people or is that a problem with my TV? James thinks that there will be more trust on the tribe going forward after the vote tonight. Karla thinks that people have to trust in themselves. Noelle mentions what she thinks is the best thing to do moving forward. She pulls out her steal a vote advantage. She takes the vote of Owen. He talks about the summit which had lead to this. The votes are cast and James is voted out. This group then goes away with James on the jury and the next group coming in.

 

In the fifth segment of the show, Jesse is surprised that James is voted out. Ryan wants to know now what had happened. Cassidy thinks that there is little wiggle room right now. She doesn’t think that people know what conversations people are having. Cody thinks that he has the most power, at least this time around. Ryan talks about having lots of clams. What? I’m confused. Anyways, after the votes are cast, it is Ryan who is voted out. I guess this makes sense? It is hard to tell for sure.

 

On the next Survivor, they want to get out big threats in the game with nearly every name being brought up as targets. Well that makes no sense. I guess that we’ll see what happens in the next episode and see if it makes any sense.

 

Total confessional count: Cody- 19, Cassidy- 7, Karla- 16, Gabler- 18, James- 15, Owen- 20, Noelle- 10, Sami- 14, Jesse- 17, Ryan- 9.

 

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

As you can tell from the schedule, there will be a new blog that will be debuting. It will be one that is purely about politics and I will explain why I’m calling it that in that blog and why I feel the need to have that name versus any other one. I will share the blog here and other places once I have it up. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
