Survivor: Edge of Extinction Finale

I’m wondering something about this show that I never thought that I would: should I be worried about the show’s fate? Normally, not only would they have renewed the show by now, they normally have already filmed the next season by now. I wouldn’t think that the show is in danger, but maybe it is. I do not think that this blog would stop as a result, but I’ll explain more about that later.

Let’s get to the idols from Heroes versus Healers versus Hustlers. There were a whole lot of them so this might take a while. Ryan found a super idol and had to give it to someone else when his tribe won the first immunity challenge. He chose Chrissy who never needed the super idol and tried to bargain with it later. Joe found an idol and used it to prevent a tie against himself and another player, arguably saving himself. Mike found one and wasted it. Joe found another and wasted it. Ryan found another one and wasted it as well.

Ben found one and used it to save himself. Lauren found one and it would have saved her, but she gave part of it away and it was put out of play. Thus, she was voted out when it otherwise would have saved her. Ben found one and played it before people voted which scared away any potential votes. He did not get to keep his idol and we don’t know if he might have or not if he wanted it back. Ben played one last one and saved himself yet again, resulting in the first ever tie caused by an idol play.

I will tell more about the history of idols in the next season that I blog about. I’ll even go more in depth and give each idol from Ghost Island its own section in a different post in future seasons. What I know is that we should find out soon whether or not this show is coming back for future seasons. It might be a split thing like what they are doing now with The Amazing Race or maybe, it is going to suddenly end. My sister was worried about the show based on the name of the season so we’ll find out what’s going on hopefully. All I know is that if they have no mention of a future season during the reunion show, that is the biggest red flag regarding if this show will stay around. They have mentioned a future season in every reunion show thus far. Will renewal be announced then? We should know by today if the show is renewed so we’ll see what happens. But enough of my ramblings.

UPDATE: By now, it was announced that Survivor will be on the schedule for next season. One can only guess that it was renewed as a result. I guess that I had nothing to worry about, although I have not yet seen an official link with the news in it yet other than one announcing the schedule.

In the first segment of the show, we have Jeff talking to us and about the other players before we get to the second and final Edge of Extinction challenge. Even this challenge needs people to have two balls at the end. No women allowed then, lol. Chris wins his way back into the game. Jeff talks to the players who lost the challenge just now. This is the first season thus far where no returning players will be at the final tribal council as a player in all of them that have included them thus far.

Chris talks about how he will do everything in his power to win. Jeff then returns to the reunion show stage where he talks to Joe and asks if a player like him could win. Joe might want to return after a while. Should he cut or keep his hair? Who cares?

In the second segment of the show, we return to Vata beach. Chris wants to make sure that he does a good game so far. Victoria doesn’t buy his whole nice guy act. Is he trying to win the divorce? Is that a real thing? Does anyone know what movie I’m talking about? Chris talks to Rick and they seem to form an alliance over what had happened with them. Rick admits that his idol is real and he says that he will play it. Chris talks to Lauren about her idol. Lauren makes an analogy to Ryan Reynolds. Is he single? And would someone like her have a chance with him? We then get to the next immunity challenge. Julie wins the challenge and she picks Chris and Lauren to join her on reward. Rick questions why Chris worked with Julie during the challenge.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the reward where Julie talks about her decisions. Lauren wants to get rid of Rick while trying to put a target on Victoria. Victoria wants to work with Rick at least this one vote. Rick wants to make sure that Chris is working with him. Chris got the same idol back that David had used earlier. Would they reuse the same thing or is this an extra of the same thing? Chris does give his half of the idol to Rick and Rick might be more likely to trust him now. He wants to use Lauren’s idol in the meantime to ensure that he survives the vote.

We then get to tribal council. Jeff talks about some of what has gone on thus far. Rick gets emotional over the fact that everyone thinks that he’s a threat. Chris wants to take the roll of messenger on to the people on the tribe in the game. Why keep someone who tells them everything? Rick plays his idol on himself. Lauren then plays her idol for Chris. I guess his sway works. Victoria is voted out and the idol on Chris was wasted. Victoria says that she is voting for Gavin.

In the fourth segment of the show, Rick looks for a real idol after hiding numerous fake idols that he had made earlier all over the place. I think that I speak for most Survivor fans when I say STOP HAVING THIS MANY IDOLS ALL THE TIME! Rick does find an idol and gives Chris back his idol. They couldn’t turn on each other know, or can they? Julie thinks that she will find a second hidden idol. It is a fake one. Lauren finds one of Rick’s old clues and he laughs at her for searching for it. She found another fake idol and she sure is glad that she’s not an idiot this time around. Um… We then get to the immunity challenge. Rick wins the challenge.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get back to the tribe after the challenge. Rick is a superhero or super villain or anti-hero named the cockroach. Rick wants to give Gavin the idol, but Gavin does not want to return the favor by keeping him out of the fire making challenge. But that only works as long as Gavin wins and he doesn’t have to win. Lauren finally thinks that some of the idols could be fake. A lot of the other players want to vote out Chris. Chris wants to be on the same page with Rick for the vote.

We get to tribal council next, which Rick thinks will be fun since everyone thinks they will be safe in his own mind. Chris wants to use his little cards in order to stay in the game. There are too many unknowns and if they want someone who can beat Rick, they might have to keep Chris. Are people too focused on getting rid of Rick? We then get to the vote at hand. Julie plays her fake idol. Lauren also plays her fake idol. Rick plays his idol on Gavin. Chris plays his idol on himself. “Anybody else?” asks Jeff. Lauren is the one who gets voted out of the game as a result.

In the sixth segment of the show, we get to the final immunity challenge. They made this challenge way more difficult than they needed to. With as wobbly as Chris was shown to be, it only made sense that he was the person who won the challenge based on what the edit normally shows us. Chris thinks that this is the most important decision that he has to make in the game.

In the seventh segment of the show, Rick feels that he blew the challenge, but still wants to make sure that he can do what he can to last in the game. There is fire making material out for people. Rick pleads his case to Chris. Gavin wants to take on Rick at the fire making challenge. Julie wants to take on the mission herself. Everyone is trying to make fire in preparation for what is going on. Chris might have to go all in on this last part of the game.

At tribal council, Jeff thinks that the Edge of Extinction has really helped Chris at this game. You think, DiNozzo? He wouldn’t be in the game were it not for this twist. Chris doesn’t want to have any regrets. He gives his necklace to Julie and will make fire against Rick. He’s taking the risk that Domenick didn’t want to make. But will this result in his own elimination? (You’re a reflexive pronoun! My grammar check does not like the phrase his own.)

Due to the high winds, they have to make the challenge in the voting confessional. Is this being live streamed somehow? Or do they just have to take Jeff at his word. No one can really see what’s going on in the jury. Both of them keep losing flame over and over again. Chris gets his fire going. Rick gets his going too late. Chris wins the challenge and Rick is eliminated as a result. This is the biggest elimination in a finale since Terry was voted out. Now who will win and why did they get such a small edit?

After giving his exit confessional, we return live to the reunion show where Jeff talks to Rick. His time in the game has been awesome thus far. Rick talks about his decisions in the game thus far. Was Chris not being loyal? Rick thinks that Chris never broke his promise. Now this is around the time that we should be starting the reunion show in every season before San Juan del Sur so let’s have a moment of silence for the reunion time lost that we’ll never get back.

In the eighth segment of the show, we get back to Vata and the finale three get their feast. Julie is glad that she did as well as she did. She thinks that she played a winner’s game. Chris thinks that he was able to do a great game despite being voted out of it at one point. Gavin thinks that he has played the best game thus far. Who will win the game?

Total confessional count: Lauren- 22, Julie- 21, Gavin- 20, Victoria- 18, Rick- 46; Reem- 14, Chris- 16, Aubry- 14, Joe- 9, Eric- 10, Julia- 8, David- 22, Kelley- 24, Wardog- 17, Ron- 18, Aurora- 15.

New confessionals this episode: Victoria- 2, Rick- 9, Lauren- 4, Julie- 4, Gavin- 3.

Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 0, Chris- 7, Aubry- 0, Joe- 0, Eric- 0, Julia- 0, David- 0, Kelley- 0, Wardog- 0, Ron- 0, Aurora- 0.

In the ninth segment of the show, we get to the final tribal council. We first get to the outwit part of the game. David asks what the most valuable part of each person’s game way. Gavin says that his biggest ally in the game was Victoria. Chris says Rick. Julie says Ron and Lauren. We talk about the major twist of the season and Gavin thinks that he’s not a goat although Chris asked that question of him. Joe wonders if Julie’s emotions weren’t controlled as well. Julie thinks that she was behind Julia’s vote. Gavin was able to sway the votes to get rid of the returning players. Chris thinks that he convinced Lauren to play his idol on the game.

A lot of the jurors are still undecided. I know that I would be because I have no idea who might win. I can only guess, but I think that everyone has around a 33% chance of winning. Chris talks about how he did well in the game and Rick wonders about how they all did knowing how he did. Chris feels that he did the best game that he could in such a short amount of time, but some feel that he got advantages that helped too much. Gavin admits that no one ever voted against him this whole game.

Gavin talks about how his dream was to play Survivor and all that he has done to do that. Chris talks about the theme of the season over and over again. He knows that without his third chance to get back in the game, he wouldn’t have one to even talk about. Without the twist, he’s nothing. Julie mentions that she has done a great journey thus far playing the game. Julie likes how she played the game. I do think that Gavin might be the most likely winner at this point in time.

In the tenth segment of the show, we get to people casting their votes for people to win. Will we see any of them? They don’t really doing voting confessionals anymore and that’s a real shame. I guess they think that we are all into other parts of the game. Will this be a unanimous vote? I guess we’ll see. It is not a unanimous vote. How many votes are there? I didn’t keep track. Chris wins the season. After all that we never saw from him. Was this really just camaraderie among the players who were on the edge of extinction with him? This is the weirdest win yet.

In the eleventh segment of the show, Chris is talked to regarding the win. Was there guilt in what went on in the game that Chris had over his decisions to take Rick out. Rick says that he is friends with Chris, but only because he won. David gives another one of his analogies about eating little, but feeling that he had still done well. David is writing for Star Trek: Discovery with John Cochran. I think I know what I need to do to start a writing career for television. But why didn’t this work for Mitchell from all the way back in the second season? Lauren is glad with how she played and Gavin talks about his experiences outside the game with Survivor. Rick wins the Sia award and wants to swing from a chandelier because of it.

In the twelfth segment of the show, Jeff talks to Reem about her doing the edge of extinction. She has to be on Survivor Shade if that ever starts again. I don’t think that it will, though. I’d still like to see her on a podcast in the future and if I ever start a Survivor podcast, she might be on it at least once. Wendy then talks about her Tourettes Syndrome. I also want to hear from her on a podcast. Ron talks about how he was a teacher and talked about his time in the game and villain like ways. Julia talks to her peace with her dad that I don’t think that I understood quite that well. Jeff talks to Aubry, Lauren, Victoria, Wardog, and Aurora about their games in largely brief mentions.

In the thirteenth segment of the show, Jeff briefly talks about Ponderosa. I haven’t seen that in a while so I might watch it this time. In the next Survivor season, Boston Rob and Sandra was returning, but are not going to win as they are just mentors who aren’t playing the game. It is called Island of the Idols so I feel that instead of some idols, they are going to give even more. In the immortal words of Gir, Yay! We’re doomed! I’m glad that neither of these winners are playing again, but they still have far too much exposure in the community, even if they haven’t been constantly seen again and again.

In the fourteenth segment of the show, we pretty much get a wrap up of everything and we get a send off to the season in general. I don’t know yet what to think of the next season as I’m not sure what the point of it is just yet. How many island twists do we need? As for the rest of this season, Chris does seem to be an even more unlikely winner than the last Chris to win the game back in Vanuatu. Did people vote for him simply because they spent time with him? That didn’t help Lillian, but she didn’t have nearly all of the outcasts on the jury to help vote for her to win. Who has been this underedited a winner? I do not think that we’ve seen a winner’s edit this bad since Sophie back in South Pacific, but unlike Sophie, I actually like Chris as a winner. It just seems kind of dumb that he did so little yet got so many votes. This ending lowers my initial ranking of this season which was going to be 19^th best.

Points at reunion show: Reem- 1, Keith- 0, Aubry- 0, Wendy- 1, Joe- 1, Eric- 0, Julia- 1, David- 1, Kelley- 1, Wardog- 0, Ron- 1,  Aurora- 0, Victoria- 1, Lauren- 1, Rick- 3, Julie- 0, Gavin- 1, Chris- 1.

There’s not much to say about the reunion show in general. They keep cutting it done from the usual hour we are used to. I don’t like that Joe was the only person that was talked to out of all of the people who were on the edge of extinction after those people lost. Sure, we got to hear from more of them at the actual reunion show, but Jeff should never show this type of favoritism to anyone. At least he made a point to talk to some people that he hadn’t talked to before that we don’t always get each season. I do miss the rites of passage if only because of the prereunion bits that replaced it.

Now it’s time to figure out the three dumbest moves of the season. I don’t think that I’ll mention all of the nominees that could happen of it since I’m not really as into this part as I could be. Wardog gets the bronze award for playing too hard and too openly. The silver goes to Lauren for wasting her idol and then setting into motion the events that would lead to her own elimination. The gold goes to Aubry who did not sense that she was in danger and got voted out with both an idol and advantage in her pocket. It is interesting to note that so far, all the women who have been voted out with idols had played the game before their game ending mistake the second or third time.

When it comes to the breakout character of the season, there are a lot of people that I’d want to give the award to, but I can only give it to one. The people in consideration that haven’t won are Wardog, Reem, and Wendy. But I have to give the award to Rick as he provided most of the best moments of all of this season.

Now let’s get to the ranking of this season and the tribe swap in general. I have 29 tribe swaps ranked thus far, although that might not be the number of swaps that have happened thus far. This season will rank as 24^th out of all of them. Out of the 38 seasons total, I’ve decided that this will be 23^rd out of all of them. Some have not liked this season as much as others. I’m more okay with it, but I know that have been a lot better ones. I also couldn’t rank it lower than some others.

There’s not much else to say as I close out this post and end this season in general. I am almost done with watching Survivor: Borneo again to do a review of Sue’s time on the area. I then can hopefully get to do my look back on Survivor: Gabon. Any posts of that will be on Sundays. If I get Survivor: Blood versus Water on DVD, then I will do a look back on that again. If I’m doing a look back at one season and then introduce another look back, that will be on Fridays.

Something that you should know is that I am going to take a break from updating this blog for a bit in order to focus on other things in life. You should get a blog post of some sort before June is over. But do not expect there to be the usual posts next week or a bit afterwards. I should be back some Wednesday or other day of the week with new posts in the future at some point. So I will be back or plan to be, it just will not be what you are used to. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.12

I wonder how some feel about Rick’s advancement in the game. I can’t tell if they are setting him up to be the winner or if a major blindside is heading his way. They seem to be setting him up like the same sort of edit that Sarah had when she won. I wouldn’t mind him winning even though he was voted out at one point. And I don’t think that production has been helping him the way some other people might have thought. They can think that, but it won’t make them right.

Let’s get to the idols from Game Changers. Tai found one and gave it to Sierra to play at a joint tribal council where she was the target and Malcolm was voted out of the other tribe as a result. If JT hadn’t slipped up and revealed the target, their idol might have been wasted. Speaking of JT, he also found an idol and had the chance to redeem himself after his epic blunder with one back in Heroes versus Villains. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize he was a target somehow and was voted out with the idol in his possession. At least that isn’t the most dumb thing he’s done with an idol.

Continuing the idols, Tai was able to find two of them after his previous idol play. Troyzan found an idol as well. At the final six, the now famous immunity train happened. Tai gave his extra idol to Aubry. He played one for himself. Troyzan played his idol at this point. Sarah used her legacy advantage which she had been able to con off another player. With Brad having won immunity, there was only one person left in the game who was voted out as a result at the final six with five players all immune. Thus, Cirie was voted out. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get back to the tribe after their vote. Gavin feels a bit guilty over who he blindsided and feels that Rick needs to be voted out next. Rick lies about where the idol had come from in order to mislead her tribe. Aurora feels connected with her alliance and also wants to get rid of Rick if he can. He needs to find a way to get ahead in the game. Lauren knows that the idol was not gifted to Rick as she found an idol previously. She talks to Rick about his lie. She leaves him alone and he finds another idol as a result.

We then get to the reward challenge. People need two balls handled well in order to succeed. Even the women will need to handle balls. And these are two big balls. It’s the size of a hippo that head. Oh, wait. That’s not right. Some people just can’t handle their balls well. Some women do not know how to work with them. Gavin wins the reward when his balls go up well. He brings Victoria and Lauren with him on the reward. Aurora wasn’t picked as she’s hungry. She feels like she’s not in a group.

In the second segment of the show, we get to the people who are on the reward. Gavin hopes that Aurora is not upset over the decision not to take her on reward. Lauren wants to take Julie out. Victoria wants to do potential damage control when she sees Aurora again. Aurora wants to stick with her allies for now, but might turn on them if she can beat them.

Returning to Extinction Island, everyone gets a letter that they wrote to themselves before the game had happened. That seems new. Julia gets emotional about her own letter when she reads it. We see all of them reading parts of it. Chris feels that he’s done a lot despite failing at winning it. David wants to take his relationship with his girlfriend to the next level. Reem calls her letter weird and is now proud of herself and considers herself a Survivor. She is still here and does not give up.

In the third segment of the show, Rick messes with people by running around. Lauren thinks that he has gone crazy. Um, at what point was he NOT crazy? We then get to the immunity challenge. Who slides puzzles in their backyard? I’m heard of shuffleboard, but not much else. And aren’t backyards full of lots of grass, typically? Rick wins the challenge. He lies and says he’d be going home without immunity. Rick wants to keep Julie in the game. But why? Does he just want an ally?

In the fourth segment of the show, Julie and Rick go out to talk privately after an open discussion about it in front of all the other players. Aurora is worried about what they will do. Rick thinks that they should vote for Aurora. Is Lauren a good person to join them? She thinks that she could beat Julie and wants to convince Gavin to vote out Aurora. They want to tell Victoria about this to gain her trust. Rick is doing what he can to break up the power four alliance or whatever they are called. I don’t know the name of it if I should.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council at hand. Julie talks about how she feels that she is the clear target. Can you stop calling Rick by his last name? How am I supposed to tell him apart from Gavin as a result? We are told of Rick going crazy over and over again. Aurora is considered the fourth person in the alliance. Rick pulls out his idol and says that he will play it on Julie. But was that a wise move? Lauren still has an idol. Aurora thinks that it might not be a real idol. Would he really not play his idol on Julie considering what all is going on?

Rick talks about how his time on the Edge of Extinction has helped shape his game thus far. He feels a bit drunk with power right now. After the votes are cast, Rick doesn’t play his idol. Aurora is voted out of the game. There was only one person voting with her. According to Aurora, people fell for the reverse psychology or ygolohcysp. She takes the torch and goes to Extinction Island.

On the next Survivor, the season finale happens. Five are left and one will return to the game. Not much can be gathered from it. Aurora goes to Extinction Island and talks about the vote. When she gets there, Reem talks to her about what’s going on and how long a time it has been.

Total confessional count: Rick- 37, Lauren- 18, Julie- 17, Gavin- 17, Victoria- 16, Aurora- 15; Reem- 14, Chris- 9, Aubry- 14, Joe- 9, Eric- 10, Julia- 8, David- 22, Kelley- 24, Wardog- 17, Ron- 18.

New confessionals this episode: Gavin- 3, Victoria- 1, Aurora- 5, Rick- 6, Lauren- 4, Julie- 0. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 1, Chris- 1, Aubry- 0, Joe- 0, Eric- 0, Julia- 1, David- 1, Kelley- 0, Wardog- 0, Ron- 0.

You could tell by Julie’s zero confessionals that she probably had no chance of being voted out during this episode. She had the lowest out of all of the people not on Extinction Island. Aurora had five, which was the second highest. Rick is the highest with six. In terms of total confessionals, Rick has thirty-seven total. That’s the highest out of everyone. Aurora had fifteen, the lowest out of all of the players not on Extinction Island. Victoria is second lowest with sixteen. She has to remind Jeff that she was playing in the challenge. Kelley is the highest out of everyone on Extinction Island and Julia has the lowest. We will see how that will affect the game still in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.11

I’m wondering about different people’s chances of returning to the game. I don’t know if the last of the returnees is on Extinction Island just yet. Maybe their story won’t matter which might be why they do not have the substance in their edit that they should. If you keep track of the confessional count, then you would have known how easy it was to predict that Rick would win reentry to the game since he is the one who had the highest confessional count at the time. It could be Kelley who comes back into the game. I doubt that it is David. Why would he have not been included in the last episode’s recap? He was voted out of the game and they didn’t mention him at all.

Something that I wonder about this season is that they are clearly doing the jury differently. I wonder what past contestants, especially Neal, would think of the fact that the first person voted out will have a place in the jury. This makes me wonder: should there be a jury security challenge? Should people have to last long enough in the next reentry challenge in order to be a part of the jury? I don’t think that they should have to as I think that they’ve gone through enough surviving on Extinction Island. Still, all they had to do was not go right or raise a sail to leave the game to be on the jury this season.

Let’s get to the idols from Millennials versus Gen x. David found one and gave it to Jessica who saved herself from being voted out. Adam gave one to Hannah who only cancelled minority votes. David gave one to Ken who did not get any votes, but then did not have to draw a rock and was safe from that tie-breaker as a result. Jay played one and wasted it. Adam found one and played it for himself the last time it could be played. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get to the after effects of the tribal council. Ron wants to gain the trust of Rick by giving him his outdated advantage menu. Rick buys this up. Since when is the best way to gain trust lying? Is this a romantic comedy where they will all make amends at the end and fall in love before living happily ever after? I guess that Rick is a bit skeptical.

We then get to the reward challenge where loved ones show up at the challenge. Rick’s son doesn’t know that he’s on Survivor. I’m not going to go into all of what goes on at this point. We then get to the challenge in question. Ron and his loved one Roy win the challenge. Ron picks Julie to join him on this loved ones visit. He also picks Gavin as well. The rest of the contestants then have to instantly leave the loved ones as they lost and weren’t picked on the reward. Victoria talks about the crucial choice of who to pick on the loved ones challenge.

In the second segment of the show, people are emotional on the family visit. Gavin feels that he might not have made the best decision by going to play Survivor and abandoning his new wife. Ron wants to get Gavin’s loyalty. The people want to vote out Rick next. People look through his bad and he catches them doing it leading to a bit of an awkward situation. Aurora doesn’t think it is awkward. Now Rick says that people should question if they trust her or not. Rick keeps looking for an idol and finds a clue in a tree. (How many idols are in holes in trees?) The idol is above the shelter. He doesn’t know whether or not he should be coy about getting it or not.

In the third segment of the show, we return to Vata in the middle of the night. I’ve been walking in my sleep. Through the mountains of fate. To the river so deep. He gets the idol, but at least one of the people sleeping might have noticed this.

At the immunity challenge, Rick promises all of them the final three. He is bad at math. He’s also the first out of the challenge as he tries to taunt Aurora. Ron is then out next. Other women fall out after this. Gavin wins immunity. Ron feels confident that Rick is going to try to play his advantage and fail.

In the fourth segment of the show, we go back to camp after the challenge and Rick talks about what all went wrong at the challenge for him. No one wants to talk to him. But he has one immunity idol. Ron had told Rick to vote for Aurora in case Rick has an idol. Victoria talks about how they have to split the votes in order to cancel out a potential idol play. They want to get rid of Ron. Aurora wants to give her extra vote to Gavin in order to make sure that it works. She doesn’t want to go down as an idiot. Does this mean that she will? Gavin doesn’t want to vote out Ron. He doesn’t want to make the wrong choice about which side to vote for. Rick might want to use his advantage.

In the fifth segment of the show, we arrive at tribal council. Rick talks about how Aurora was looking through her idol. But sleeping beauty might have lost her chance to stay in the game. (I’ve been waiting a long time to make a reference like that.) People talk about the loved ones challenge about what had gone on there with who won.

Rick thinks that no one talks to him about what was going on and that no one was looking to work with him. This vote could go many ways. When asked about idols, he gives Jeff an advantage menu, but he says that it has no power anymore. He then goes back and plays his idol. A lot of people voted for him. Ron is voted out of the game as a result. Ron takes the torch to go to the twist of the season that had no airtime the rest of this episode.

On the next Survivor, people want to target Rick again and something is happening on Extinction Island. It is possible that Rick will find another idol or something or is at least looking for one. When Ron gets to Extinction Island, Reem is strangely warm to him. Has she softened a bit? Or is this temporary?

Total confessional count: Aurora- 10, Rick- 31, Lauren- 14, Julie- 17, Gavin- 14, Victoria- 15, Ron- 18; Reem- 13, Chris- 8, Aubry- 14, Joe- 9, Eric- 10, Julia- 7, David- 21, Kelley- 24, Wardog- 17.

New confessionals this episode: Julie- 0, Gavin- 2, Victoria- 2, Ron- 3, Aurora- 1, Rick- 6, Lauren- 1. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 0, Chris- 0, Aubry- 0, Joe- 0, Eric- 0, Julia- 0, David- 0, Kelley- 0, Wardog- 0.

The fact that no one from Extinction Island had a confessional this time around might have been the one biggest thing to note of this episode. We’ll see if that’s a marker of things to come. Ron had eighteen total confessionals. Those that are higher than him are David, Kelley, and Rick with Rick as the highest with thirty-one. Everyone else is lower with Aurora as the lowest with ten. As for new confessionals, Ron had three. The only person higher than him was Rick with six. Everyone else was lower with Julie as the lowest with zero. There’s not much else to say this time around so I’ll end the recap here. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.10

I really hope that I can publish this post on Wednesday for the first time in a while. There is a thunder storm suspected that could cause issues such as the show not being on since storm coverage airing over it or a power outage could happen even after the episode has aired and before I’m able to publish it on my blog. We’ll see what happens and I’ll explain any issues later if and when they happen.

Let’s get to the idols from Cambodia. Kelley found one and used it to negate a record number of votes. Jeremy found one and gave it to Stephen who used it to save himself from elimination. Then, Jeremy and Kelley both found new idols and used them at the final six to cause a null vote after a tie happened between the two of them. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get back to Vata after the vote and Lauren is upset. She is now out for blood while not knowing where people stand anymore. People think that Wardog was too impulsive with his move to vote out Kelley and he is once again getting on people’s nerves. He talked to Gavin like a dog, according to Gavin. Ron thinks that his game is going good for now and that things are going all according to his plan. He has an extra vote given to him by Aurora. Remember when people were known by their professions instead of their advantage or season they first played? He tells Julie about this.

When it is daytime, Rick is glad that the vote had happened the way it did while people notice that there is a lot of lying going on. Rick wants both Wardog and Ron as shields and seeks to form an alliance as a result. This trio thinks that Aurora needs to be taken out as she is targeting them. We then get to reward and a challenge for it. Julie, Lauren, Wardog, and Rick win the reward. Gavin wants to vote out Wardog next and wants his head on a platter.

In the second segment of the show, we return to Extinction Island. The people there are upset over what all had happened. Kelley is upset over her elimination. She is dealing with her feelings still. She’s on the edge of extinction and she’s (whatever the words of Edge of Glory are). Reem still gives every new person the usual shade that she gives them all. I can understand why she’s upset, but I also want to know why she thinks this will make her look good. Kelley still wants to have a great experience still in the game. Based on the edits new people are getting on Extinction Island, I’m not sure the returnee is on there just yet.

Back at Vata, people talk about how they need to get rid of Rick. Are we going to see any of the reward at all? It normally isn’t this long that we go without it. Gavin thinks that he should vote out Wardog later just to appease the people. Ron gave Aurora’s extra vote back to her. But they are driving each other crazy in their own ways.

Now we finally get to the reward in question. All of the contestants put mud on each other. I do not yet understand the appeal of why one would want to be muddy. Does anyone understand this? Lauren and Julie want to take control of the game from the men. Lauren doesn’t want to vote out Wardog as she feels that Rick is the bigger target.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge in question. Are we sure that the people crossed the obstacle without touching the ground? It didn’t look like it for sure, but I guess that it might have been that and we’d hear if they didn’t do it because someone would have noticed, right? I guess that I’m not sure. As usual, Wardog has little to nothing to show for himself in the challenge.

Rick seems to be doing better than everyone else, outside of maybe Aurora. He wins the challenge as a result of him doing well. Gavin thinks that with Rick being immune, now is the perfect time to take out Wardog since he could win otherwise. Why do Gavin and Wardog hate each other? This seems like a rivalry that came out of nowhere.

In the fourth segment of the show, there are a lot of sharks being gathered in the water, attacking each other. I thought that Shark Tank was a different reality show. Victoria is upset at how the challenge went today. Ron thinks that he’ll be in the hot seat if Wardog is voted out and considers voting out Aurora instead. Wardog knows that he’s in danger. The trio agrees on Aurora over the vote. He tells Julie about his plan. Wardog thinks that people would be stupid if they don’t vote him out and is banking on it.

Aurora thinks about using her extra vote and is not sure what will be going on tonight. She also talks about how she doesn’t trust Ron and realizes that she is probably a target. I’m a bit confused by who Wardog was talking to as it wouldn’t make sense for him to talk to Aurora, but it didn’t look like Julie, even though I have her written on there instead.

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council at hand. There is exciting noise as we get into the council in question. People notice that Rick won immunity. Wardog notices that the game is getting harder as it goes along. Gavin felt that he wasn’t included in the vote and Kelley is loving this. Rick thinks that moves need to be made carefully right now. Wardog mentions that Ron helped with these votes and Kelley can’t have much of this crap. Everyone that was voted out thus far was a threat, according to Gavin. Can people agree who the threats are?

Rick wonders what’s going on and even brings up the fact that everyone could have a knife about to stab someone before they suddenly decide to be friends with them. People are used to things being up in the air and a surprise is going to happen as a result of what’s going on. No idols are played. Will there be a tie vote? I guess we’ll see. The jury likes this. Wardog is voted out. Did the trio stick with him? I guess that we’ll soon see. Wardog thinks that they made the right decision in voting him out. He goes to the edge of extinction. This is just like Pandora’s Box. Not one person will pass on opening it.

On the next Survivor, Ron gives an expired secret advantage to Rick and the loved ones challenge does happen. Ron then arrives at Extinction Island. Reem loves giving people crap. I’m starting to wonder what would have happened if someone other than her were the first one sent there.

Total confessional count: Rick- 25, Lauren- 13, Julie- 17, Gavin- 12, Victoria- 13, Ron- 15, Wardog- 17, Aurora- 9; Reem- 13, Chris- 8, Aubry- 14, Joe- 9, Eric- 10, Julia- 7, David- 21, Kelley- 24.

New confessionals this episode: Lauren- 2, Julie- 2, Gavin- 4, Victoria- 1, Ron- 5, Wardog- 2, Aurora- 2, Rick- 2. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 1, Chris- 0, Aubry- 0, Joe- 0, Eric- 0, Julia- 0, David- 0, Kelley- 2.

Wardog had two new confessionals this episode, the same number as Rick, Lauren, Julie, and Aurora. The only person lower is Victoria with one. Everyone else is higher with Ron as the highest with five. As for the total confessional count, Wardog had seventeen, the same number as Julie. The people who are higher are David, Kelley, and Rick with Rick as the highest with twenty-five. The lowest is Aurora with nine, unless you could those on Extinction Island, in which case, it is Julia with seven. Aurora ties Joe and beats Chris, but no one else. We’ll see what happens later and if this really is Rick’s game to lose. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.9

Good Friday is happening soon and, as usual, the networks are still airing new programs. I don’t get why they always do this. There are a lot of shows that air on Fridays that I like to watch. I tune into Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver, Blue Bloods, Dynasty, Blindspot, Proven Innocent, and, when there is time for it, Fresh off the Boat. I might even give The Cool Kids more of a chance in the future. I’ve only seen it once thus far, but could wind up watching it again.

Let’s get to the idols from Kaoh Rong. This season was a bit different as the idols were made so that two of them could be combined into a super idol that could be played after the votes were read. Tai found one and never needed to use it. Kyle found another idol before Alecia could claim it and gave it to Tai who then gave it back to Kyle after it was realized that they didn’t need a super idol. Kyle then gave it to Scot who didn’t play it before the vote when he got the most votes as he was expecting Tai to combine their idols into one. Tai refused to combine it into the super idol, causing his once ally to be voted out and he got rid of another idol at the same time.

As for the last idol, Neal found one and was evacuated and sent to the jury with it without passing it on. I do wonder why Neal and Scott didn’t combine their idol and play it after the now infamous voting out a juror took place to make it seem like it never happened. But it might not have been allowed as it was in fact still Kyle’s idol and not really Scot’s to use. Ultimately in this season, no idols were ever played, but they were important to the story.

I have to apologize. I announced the wrong winner of Miss Universe. Oh, wait… Actually, this blog was not updated on Wednesday like I was wanting it to be since family gatherings took place during this time that prevented me from watching it until the next day. But thankfully, I am able to publish this blog now and will hopefully have no other delays with it for the rest of this season. I don’t yet know why it might be delayed again for a while so we’ll see if it is or not. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we start again without a recap. Why do that? It seems so unnatural. We get back to the merged tribe after tribal council and people talk about what went on. Wardog wants to be part of a powerful six alliance in order to take advantage of the fractures in Comma. It does cause you to take a break from things and can be used wrongly and be annoying, when not, used right.

Aurora doesn’t think that she has a tomorrow and that she caused the problems at tribal council. Was she the one? That’s what people seem to think. We then get to the immunity challenge. Squatters have rights to win big. Jeff offers pizza to anyone who wants to sit out of the challenge. Lauren, Kelley, Ron, and Victoria sit out of the challenge. While I normally like pizza, I would not have chosen those toppings and would probably always play for immunity.

There is a butterfly on Wardog and he is once again the first person out. I’ve heard of the fly as having meaning in the show. But what would a butterfly mean? I lose track of who is out next. It comes down to being between David and Aurora leading to Aurora winning instead of taking a nap. Julie wanted Aurora to lose and is now uncertain of how she will fare now.

In the second segment of the show, we see a shark in the water. Da-da-da, da-da-dah-dah, da-da-da, da-da. People want David out of the game. Wardog thinks that David is his nemesis. What? Since when is that a thing? David wants to vote out Wardog, although Victoria is also brought up as a target. It does seem like Julie wants to work with David and Rick. They want her to bring Ron on with it. Julie and Ron do not know which side to join just yet.

We go to tribal council and we aren’t sure yet how the votes will fall. Many people talk about what is going on. Rick thinks that people lose the game due to their loyalty to Wardog and his group of people. People question whether or not David is loyal. David wants the tribe to choose between an easy vote that won’t work for them or a hard vote that will work for them. I did not write about this tribal as well as I could have. David is voted out. He could have used that idol this time around. David takes the torch and goes off to Extinction Island.

There is now another message in a bottle. Someone help me find my message in a bottle. David takes off and other people look for it as well. What does hollow mean? David finds it and gets to give someone an advantage at the next immunity challenge.

In the third segment of the show, we get to the next immunity challenge at hand. Are they even doing rewards still this season? Rick has an advantage of only needing to land four balls instead of five. The rest all have to get a ball on a dimple. I wonder who could do that on an actual dimple that they have. I could try to do that sometime. It seems like none of the women know how to handle balls. It does seem like people need to be more delicate with their balls. The balls were knocked off for some people. Rick wins the challenge. Julie wants to vote out Aurora and put sleeping beauty to rest.

In the fourth segment of the show, Rick talks some about his win. Wardog wants the vote to be easy, yet instead of voting out challenge beast Aurora, he instead wants to vote out Kelley and thinks that all of them need to be stealth. Is he trying to make a new stealth r us? Also, Coach hasn’t won Survivor so I do not know why Wardog thought that he did. Kelley is glad that she has an immunity idol. Ron isn’t sure that he should vote with Wardog against Kelley. Aurora gives her extra vote to Ron. Ron might want to take advantage of her generosity by voting her out to keep her advantage, the Sarah strategy. Aurora thinks that she might be blindsided, but that wouldn’t be a blindside now would it?

In the fifth segment of the show, we get to tribal council. Victoria thinks that she’s in danger. Everyone has to make their best moves. Ron thinks that they need to make a better group of people to not make it blindside after blindside. Victoria thinks that there are more scary people in the game than her. Jeff points out that no advantages have been played yet outside of what Rick has done.

Rick points out that the power of the advantage this season must come from Extinction Island. Votes are then cast. No one plays any idols. Kelley is then voted out of the game as a result. Is Wardog in control of the game? Kelley takes the torch to the island and that’s where the episode ends.

On the next Survivor, people want revenge and either a new alliance will happen or another blindside will happen. Kelley tells some of what is going on to the other players when she gets to Extinction Island such as her own dumb moves.

Total confessional count: Kelley- 22, Gavin- 8, David- 21, Victoria- 12, Ron- 10, Wardog- 15, Aurora- 7, Rick- 23, Lauren- 11, Julie- 15; Reem- 12, Chris- 8, Aubry- 14, Joe- 9, Eric- 10, Julia- 7. New confessionals this episode: Julie-3, Kelley- 2, Gavin- 0, David- 4, Victoria- 1, Ron- 2, Wardog- 3, Aurora- 3, Rick- 1, Lauren- 0. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 0, Chris- 1, Aubry- 0, Joe- 0, Eric- 1, Julia- 0.

Kelley had two new confessionals this episode, the same number as Ron. David had four, the most of all of them. Julie, Aurora, and Wardog  all have three. Everyone else is lower with Lauren and Gavin as the lowest with zero. As for total confessionals, Kelley had twenty-two and David had twenty-one. Everyone else is lower except for Rick with twenty-three. The lowest is Aurora with seven. Julia also has seven. There’s not much else to say in this post so hopefully I will be back with Wednesday updates in the next post onward. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.8

If we are to believe the promos, something crazy is going to happen at this upcoming tribal council. I will wonder what it is, but won’t have to wait too long to find out. Maybe it will relate to the half idol or it will have nothing to do with the rest of the promo that we saw from the last episode. I do wonder now if the rest of the episode will be as good as the rest of it.

Let’s get to the idols from Worlds Apart. It might be unique in terms of seasons and did have some firsts with it as well. In it, Carolyn, Jenn, and Mike all found an idol for themselves. All of them used it to successfully save themselves from otherwise certain elimination. None of these idols switched hands and Mike won the season. While not the first winner to have an idol, he was arguably the first one who did need it as he would have been voted out if he hadn’t played it. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we return to Vata after tribal council. Wardog talks about how he is in power. Ron talks about how he isn’t in power. Gavin talks about the moves that he made in the game. David wants to amend things with Rick. Why are they mentioning people based on what advantage or idols they have in the game? David wants to take control of the game, but we don’t see who will get the whole idol yet. Maybe they should both give it to someone else.

Eric talks about how the Edge of Extinction works when they show him on this island. They make it seem like he might be in danger of quitting. If he does, it won’t be this episode as they showed all five of these people on the jury at tribal council. Joe talks about how no one is quitting anytime soon and Chris also catches a stingray for the people there. Maybe he has American Grit, or could still have it if that show were still on the air.

We then return back to the Vata tribe where Rick talks about how Kama fell apart at a strange time to him. They talk about what the best alliance is going forward. Julie gets emotional about being left out of the loop. Others talk about what the best move going forward is.

In the second segment of the show, we are getting to an immunity challenge already. David knows that this was a challenge he has done before. If you hit puberty by your ball dropping, you lose the challenge. Gavin’s ball is moving and so is Rick’s who needs to rest his ball. Wardog hits puberty first. Julia loses her ball next. Everyone then has to grab their balls as they transition, possibly to a coconut place.

Ron then drops his ball. Rick is out next. The women know how to handle balls. That is, Aurora and Victoria then Lauren all lose control of their balls. I’m surprised that women knew what balls were like. Kelley is out of the challenge next and then Julia is the last woman who has no idea what balls are like. There is then a lot of balls moving all over the place and David loses control because Gavin knows how to handle his balls. Gavin wins immunity as a result. Gavin wants to vote out David.

In the third segment of the show, Rick stays with Julia to try to influence her vote and he talks to all of the power trios that he believes are in the game. Should David be voted out? Other options are talked about while Julia wants Kelley to be targeted. What is the most dangerous package? I guess that we will find out. Ron is brought up as a target as well.

Gavin tries to talk about what should be done, but they do not get much info from him about what they should do. David talks about his spider sense and how he thinks that he is in danger. Who will get half of the idol? Suspenseful music is played while all of the tribe mates say nothing until Kelley worries about what’s going on. Kelley thinks that she should probably play her idol as people are acting really strange and she doesn’t know who to trust.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the tribal council at hand. Jeff talks about how no one is to be trusted, but you have to trust someone, if I got that right. That’s how he thinks blindsides happen. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Kelley thinks that Comma is back together after a break. David says that he saw minnows gathered and a shark came through and ate a bunch of them. Julie is emotional for some odd reason that I don’t quite understand. Do you understand it? Kelley talks to Julia during this time. I think that Jeff misunderstands what was going on during this time. Survivor madness is going on. Isn’t madness a spooky dog that shows up from time to time.

Lesu admits to being very dysfunctional. There are tons of things going on in the game and it is hard for me to catch everything. Julia is thought to be ruining the plan. Rick thinks that they should take power from Comma since they have it all. A lot of side conversations are going on during the meantime. It does seem like some people want to target Aurora after all. Jeff just wants to watch what is going on. So he does not ask what’s going on and many people wonder about how the vote should go. A lot of people are talking at once. What is this, a Parenthood episode? Jeff just silently sits in amazement at this.

This is the most dysfunctional tribal council that has ever happened. Kelley admits that they were going to vote for David. There is a commercial right during the middle of this with someone ready to jump ship and people losing their minds. What is going on?

In the fifth segment of the show, we return to the many conversations at tribal council. The jury talks during this as well. I’ve never seen a tribal council like this before. People want Wardog to shut up and it seems like everyone might be ready to get to the vote at hand. The votes are then cast. David and Rick combine their idol and play it on David. The votes are then read. There were votes cast for David. It does seem like some votes are scattered, but Julia is the one who gets a lot of votes. She is the one who gets voted out of the game as a result. Everyone needs to talk. Julia goes to the boat.

On the next Survivor, I can’t tell much about what will go on, but it seems like Wardog is coming to be the one that people will be targeting as a result. That’s pretty much all I can get out of the promo and I cannot tell much else about what could be going on.

Total confessional count: Victoria- 11, Julia- 7, Ron- 8, Wardog- 12, Aurora- 4, Rick- 22, Lauren- 11, Julie- 12, Kelley- 20, Gavin- 8, David- 17; Reem- 12, Chris- 7, Aubry-  14, Joe- 9, Eric- 9. New confessionals this episode: Julia- 3, Ron- 1, Wardog- 1, Aurora- 0, Rick- 2, Lauren- 1, Julie- 3, Kelley- 1, Gavin- 2, David- 2, Victoria- 1. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 0, Chris- 0, Aubry- 0, Joe- 1, Eric- 2.

Julia had three new confessionals this episode, the same number as Julie. Everyone else is lower with Aurora as the lowest with zero. As for the total confessional count, Julia had seven total confessionals. This is the same number as Chris. The only person lower is Aurora with four. Everyone else is higher with Rick as the highest with twenty-two.

There’s not much to say in this closing outside of the fact that since next week is holy week, then this blog should be back to being posted on Wednesdays again. That doesn’t mean that it will be as there is family visiting and that could affect what goes on as a result. But that’s the plan and I can hopefully get the blog post for next week published by Easter at the very latest. It should be on Wednesday, though. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode 38.7

I have not been having as much time to watch shows on DVD from my rolling list. The moment that I’m done watching Survivor: Borneo, I will be replacing it with Survivor: Gabon. I will be blogging about all of the episodes of that season then turn around and blog about them again to get Dan Kay’s perspective on the show. I don’t know when I’ll get to start this, but can only hope it is during the summer, if not at any point sooner to it.

Let’s get to the idols from San Juan del Sur. John Rocker found one and was voted out with it in his pocket after not having the sense to use it. Keith found one and used it to save himself from being voted out. He would have been safe were it not for another idol play that would have made him the second highest of the vote count person. Jon Misch found one and used it to save himself at the same tribal that Keith played his. Jon found another one and was voted out with it in his possession. Natalie found the last one and gave it to Jaclyn. Jaclyn saved herself with it. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we get to the tribe talking about the jury twist. Did this really start with no recap? That seems weird. I don’t think that I missed something when I recorded this on tape. Ron thinks that he is in control of the vote. Wardog once again dictates the vote to other people. Does he have the right idea? We then return to Extinction Island where Joe talks to himself. But we don’t see much from him yet. We then get to a reward challenge. The blue team wins. Ron is on the losing team, but is glad that people like Kelley weren’t getting this reward.

In the second segment of the show, the reward winners eat the Chinese takeout. I don’t know how close Fiji is to China. Did they actually get that from China? Lauren is upset that she doesn’t have food in the game. Kelley thinks that Lesu should stay together and not turn on themselves as it seems like will end up happening instead. Kelley tries to work together with David and wants to get them to split the votes while they stay a majority. Rick is open about not wanting to work with the Lesu members, even though he seems to still work with David. He doesn’t like Wardog’s constant barking of orders (pun intended). David tries to reason with Rick. David won’t give his half of the idol back to Rick as a result. I wonder if what I think will happen (another duo breaking up) will happen.

In the third segment of the show, we return to Extinction Island and people get wine bottles. There is yet another advantage in the game. Why isn’t this called Advantage Island? They’re going to do that at some point, aren’t they? Aubry tries to find it on her own and everyone is for themselves. Aubry sees a hole in a rock and, as usual, something important is there. She gets a practice advantage and gives an extra vote to someone in the game. The advantage could be the key to someone’s game.

We then get to the immunity challenge. Suddenly, I’m reminded of the promo and how there will be a medical situation at it. Wardog is the first person out of the challenge. Eric is out next followed by Gavin. Kelley is then out. Rick is out, possibly for a joke of being a fit person. Julia is out next and then Ron is out. Julie is out. There are not many people left. This isn’t a long challenge this time. But then we get to 25 minutes into the challenge with four people in it. David is out next. Lauren seems to have issues and she is out of the challenge. Medical is called in as she passes out. Has this happened to her before? Now there are two stories going on with the challenge still happening and the medical situation.

Aurora tries to plead why she should win to Victoria. People think that she’s fighting the battle at the wrong time and acting very wrong at the time. Lauren is okay after having passed out. Victoria passes out and Aurora does win the challenge after all. But what long term cost could this have on her game? I guess that we’ll see. Lauren talks about losing the challenge and having an idol.

In the fourth segment of the show, Aurora talks about her immunity win. She then finds a parchment in her bag with the extra vote in it. Kama talks about how they should stay strong together in order to last until the loved ones visit. They don’t even know for sure that one will happen. They want to split the votes against the Lesu players.

Kelley wonders if she should play her idol. Wardog is once again trying to dictate the vote on what to do. Should Eric or Rick be voted out? It seems like lots of options are talked about, but we can’t tell for sure what could happen. Every option has risks and should Kama target one of their own?

In the fifth segment of the show, it seems like Kama has a plan going forward. Rick talks about how he is not loyal to the other side. People seemed to be too focused on the loved ones visit. When do people make their move? People could join Kama, but would they let them join them? I think that I missed a lot of what could have happened. No idols are played. Is that a good move? Eric is voted out. He takes the torch and goes to Extinction Island.

On the next Survivor, David and Rick can’t decide what will happen with their idol. At least four people’s names are brought up for the vote. “The sins of the past come back to haunt them.” Something really exciting happens at tribal council that Jeff hasn’t seen happened before. Eric arrives on Extinction Island and thinks that it isn’t so bad, but Reem tells him not to get his hopes up.

Total confessional count: Ron- 7, Wardog- 11, Eric- 7, Aurora- 4, Rick- 20, Lauren- 10, Julie- 9, Kelley- 19, Gavin- 6, David- 15, Victoria- 10, Julia- 4; Reem- 12, Chris- 7, Aubry- 14, Joe- 8. New confessionals this episode: Wardog- 2, Eric- 2, Aurora- 2, Rick- 1, Lauren- 2, Julie- 1, Kelley- 2, Gavin- 1, David- 2, Victoria- 0, Julia- 1, Ron- 3. Extinction Island confessional count: Reem- 2, Chris- 0, Aubry- 3, Joe- 1.

Eric had two new confessionals this episode. That’s the same number as Wardog, Aurora, Lauren, Kelley, and David. The only person higher was Ron with three. Well, Aubry has three as well. Everyone else is lower with Victoria as the lowest with zero. As for new confessionals, Eric has seven, the same number as Ron. The only people lower are Gavin, Aurora, and Julia with Aurora and Julia as the lowest with four. Everyone else is higher with Rick as the highest with twenty. We’ll see what happens next. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
