Well, it’s going to be a bit hard keeping track of why all this blog was delayed as I never had to put a blog on a show on hiatus during an ongoing season before. But I need to get to the last two episodes of the previous season and wonder that since it has been since April that a post of this blog has not been missed or delayed then I sure wonder what all can still happen. There are other habits of mine that can delay this blog like reading magazines to the side and I even want to stay caught up on those to an extent which is why the previous episode was delayed.
Of course, I missed the deadline with staying caught up on that, wondered if I still cared about deadlines with that, and ultimately decided that with all that was going on in life, I can extend deadlines a bit, but still want to get caught up. I’m not sure if this makes any sense to anyone. Well, I am autistic after all. What I say makes complete sense to absolutely no one else at times.
Let’s get to the one time challenges from the thirty-eighth season. I still have a lot to do before I bring back this blog by finishing this post and the next one. So let’s not get to too much dilly dally as I write the needed three lines of this paragraph and get to the next one.
In Through the out Door (second immunity challenge from It’s Like the Worst Cocktail Party Ever): In this challenge, each tribe must climb a ladder, get a bag through a bamboo frame, get the bag free and untied to get a monkey’s fist, get that fist through a hoop to release a gate, and then solve a slide puzzle. It is possible that an individual version of this challenge could be done while social distancing.
Planks a Lot (reward challenge from I’m the Puppet Master): In this challenge, players have to swim out in pairs to get planks in a crow’s nest that is taken back to shore and used to solve a plank puzzle. An individual version of this challenge could be done while social distancing.
Odyssey 6 (first immunity challenge of I See the Million Dollars): In this challenge, players must navigate through rope obstacles, get over platforms, get a bag of numbers crossing a balance beam, use those numbers to solve a lock, and complete a vertical puzzle. This could be done while social distancing.
شماره نشریه تایم از 19 اکتبر 2020 در صفحه 16 در یکی از خبرهای خود یک تار جالب داشت. به سادگی ذکر شد، "تگزاس مکان های خروج غایب را محدود می کند." من حتی تا انتخابات 2020 نمی‌دانستم که ریختن صندوق‌ها موضوعی است. من شخصاً نامه ام را در برگه رأی مستقیماً به دادگاه می برم زیرا نزدیک محل زندگی من است. من اکنون آن را برای رای دادن از طریق پست در هر انتخابات عمومی تنظیم کرده ام. اما در مورد مشکل، «گرگ ابوت، فرماندار جمهوری‌خواه تگزاس، دستوری صادر کرد که بخش‌ها را فقط به یک محل رها کردن رأی‌های غایب محدود کرد». چگونه این یک مشکل است؟ شهرستان‌های روستایی که جمعیت بسیار کمتری دارند و تمایل دارند به جمهوری‌خواهان رای دهند، به اندازه شهرستان‌های بزرگ‌تری که تمایل دارند به دموکرات‌ها رأی دهند، تحت تأثیر منفی این موضوع قرار نخواهند گرفت. به علاوه، پیدا کردن صندوق رای چقدر آسان است؟
Continuing on with songs from A Christmas Celebration, I’m now sharing The Wexford Carol by Celtic Woman. I quite like this song and how it covers everything in rhyme. I wonder why this isn’t a more well known song at times.

Having shared the fiddle solo version of In the Bleak Midwinter, I might as well cover the song version of it from Home for Christmas that Celtic Woman did. This was a bonus song not included in the concert for some reason or another.

Since I shared one of the Thomas the Tank Engine Christmas songs, I will now share their other one called Winter Wonderland, which is not to be confused with the other song of that same name which is more well known and will be covered later, in next week’s potential post.

The next song that I’m sharing from The Nightmare Before Christmas is the Town Meeting Song. In it, Jack explains Christmas to the citizens of Halloween town. It makes you wonder if town meetings would be more interesting if people did songs for groups there like this.

The next football team update will sadly not be one of the last. I need to figure out who is the best of the three teams between the Jets, Giants, and Seahawks. You see, despite being named New York in both of their names, both the Jets and Giants play their games in New Jersey. The Seahawks play in the state of Washington. The only other team that could have gotten in here was one that played in Virginia. But the Washington [D.C.] Commanders play in Maryland. I’m not sure that I need to remind you why these states are important in ranking the football teams, but if you read my posts in this blog relating to March Madness, then you would know.
I’m not going to bother with reminding you about this as, well, it isn’t too important and all you really need to know is that three teams start with the next ranking and their seasons from 2021 onward are how they are ranked. The Jets beat the Giants. The Seahawks beat the Giants. The Jets and Seahawks won’t play each other until January 1st. With the Giants already the lowest of these teams, I will have to wait until this game is played to see which team will be the highest. Then I’ll get to the last of the current rankings of the NFL teams until something changes. I will put the rest of the updates in my CSI: Vegas blog instead of this one. It may already be up by the time this one’s up due to the hiatus of this blog that wound up happening.
I am pretty sure that of my three lists that I have going right now, only two things have Christmas episodes that will be the next holiday related thing on them to watch. I’m not entirely sure, but this could be the case. Both of them are NCIS. One is NCIS season 9. The other is NCIS season 10. I’ll have to check the other ones later. But enough of my ramblings.
In the first segment of the show, the tribe talks about Sami’s blunder and why everyone voted for him. Owen still wants to drive a wedge between the remaining women so he tells Cassidy that Jesse said that Karla wanted to vote out Cassidy. Karla puts on crocodile tears to put on this show that Cassidy should not believe such a terrible thing. Karla then wants Jesse to bail her out, but he instead throws her under the bus when Cassidy asks him about it. We then get to the next challenge. In the very close challenge, it is the blue team of Owen, Karla, and Cody who wins.
In the second segment of the show, we get to the people on the reward. Karla says that she doesn’t have an idol to the other two players, a lie. They aren’t sure what to believe as they feel that she should have played it by now. The others still want to vote out Karla. The people back at camp think that Karla should be voted out. And they are convinced of her having an idol.
In the third segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. Should I ever talk more about the challenges? Oh, wait. You can’t tell me as I got rid of comments. Karla mentions having a hand injury on possibly both of her hands. Karla keeps getting hurt. Cassidy wins the challenge after a fumble. Karla talks about having an idol even as she lost her challenge.
In the fourth segment of the show, Gabler thinks that it is likely that he might be voted out as he doesn’t have an idol or shot in the dark. Many think that they will be save and convince others not to target them since they have idols. It is hard to tell for sure who might be going home due to the rule where people talk about blindsides and get blindsided. Cody wants to target Karla. Jesse wants to be more brutal and target Cody. Jesse wants to play his idol and spook Karla into playing hers. He tells a lot of people about this and Jesse has to surrender one of his idols to Cody to go along with the plan. There are a lot of things that could happen and go wrong. I’ve no idea what will happen.
In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. Man, I’m tired. At least I can ensure that I’m going to do better in the finale post. Karla had her challenge failure. Half the tribe wants to play their idols. Jeff mentions that these potential idol plays could be bluffs. Cody says that he won’t be one of the people getting voted out tonight. Owen isn’t counting himself out yet. Cody is certain that he’s going to stick around after the vote. Why Cody didn’t show his idol before the vote is beyond me.
We then get to the moment of truth: idol play. Jesse plays his idol for Owen. Karla plays one for herself. No one else plays an idol. The votes are read and Cody gets voted out with an idol? Man. This season is about hard choices if you have to get rid of your own idol by voting out the person who has it. As usual, the tribe has to be taken to a new beach for the finale. Finale beach. Also, how do you explain this to the person who was voted out and has to leave? He has to make like a tree and get out of here and it’s about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
On the next Survivor, something happens of some sort or another as I can’t really tell a damn thing from that promo as television doesn’t like to tell us what’s going to happen next for some reason. Ugh. I even complained about that in my TV blog.
Total confessional count: Gabler- 23, Owen- 27, Jesse- 25, Cody- 24, Cassidy- 12, Karla- 21. New confessionals this episode: Jesse- 4, Cody- 2, Cassidy- 1, Karla- 3, Gabler- 2, Owen- 3.

It is a bit hard for me to explain the Fadam Secretary blog of mine, but it is basically a way of filling in posts that won’t be able to be done. Thanks to the hiatus, that blog is up now, but I won’t talk about it until the new season of this show starts. I have had a lot of time to write these blog posts during the hiatus so, of course, I had done a lot of that with my spare time, ha ha. I wish that was the case. I also don’t know if the schedule will be close to accurate in the end. There’s a lot of uncertainty still as I bring these blogs back. Speaking of which, the post on the season finale will appear on the 15th of February at the very latest. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
