Survivor: Blindsides are fun!!

Welcome to the "the world is going to hell so let's just watch reality tv" update of week 4.  And, yes, I know there was no week 3 update-the husband had back surgery last Wednesday (with barely a week's notice) and it got lost in the 800 other things I had to do.  

So. quick update:  Vinny was selected to go to IoI where the lesson of the week was about staying calm under pressure.  His test was to go to the purple tribe's camp late at night and steal some fire with his torch.  He completes the challenge BUT since the fire was out he brings back ashes (pretty smart if you ask me).  BR and Sandra let him slide with the ashes and he gets immunity.  

The IC was a team water thing, with a puzzle thing and Purple came from behind sending the Orange tribe to tribal.  At Tribal it was between Karishma and Vince, and Vince went home with his idol still in his pocket.  Maybe BR and Sandra could do a lesson on USING YOUR DAMN IDOL.  

Week 4!  And we finally see Dean in a major asshole way.  Seriously he has been edited out for weeks and bang, he's a star player.  Karishma says she has no hard feelings for all of the votes she took but she realizes she's expendable as plan B.  She's really pretty effing useless too.  

I think it's Aaron who is thinks that he's calling the shots and he says that although Karishma is an easy target, Dean and Chelsey have put a big ol target on their backs by sleeping all cuddled up.  Calls them the power couple.

Dean says that he's into Chelsea but Chelsea tells Elaine that she's not here for any romance.  

Aaron and Missy talk about the couple and say they are trouble.  Missy thinks it's time for a big move and wants to get Dean out so she can continue with her girl power alliance.  

On the Purple tribe every one decides to take the raft out and go fishing.  Jamal says his full on melanin stocked skin can't take that much sun so he's gong to stay in the shade.  He's actually nervous because people aren't talking to him much and he was left out of the Molly bindside.  He wants to see if the Island of Idols means there are hidden idols.  Aaaaaand while looking and discussing some bad breakup and how it taught him to be zen and shit, he finds an idol.  

Later a boat arrives at the Purple camp and someone has to go to IoI.  Either draw a name out of the hat OR by unanimous decision.  People are worried about going because it puts a target on your back if you say HELL I'LL GO!!  Except for socially clueless Noura who says HELL I'LL GO!!!  

She's whisked off to IoI yelling WOOOHOOOOO the whole way.  She's excited to see BR and Sandra because they are EXPERTS.  They ask if she wants watermelon and she screams WOOOOHOOOO I LOVE WATERMELON!!  LOL, she totally reminds me of Elf.  She says she's a novice and needs to learn from these 2.  BR tells her everyone who comes to IoI gets a lesson, and hers is about the art of persuasion.  He explains the thing that works best is if you are offering something they other person wants.  Says there are different kinds of persuasion: 1) the appeal to someone's ego, 2) the scare them tactic, 3) the start a rumor tactic and 4) the this for that negotiation.  Noura thinks her way of negotiation is MORE INTELLECTUAL.  LOL.  BR offers her a test-the next challenge will have a blindfolded caller and if she can persuade them to let her be the caller then she will win an advantage-the ability to take a vote from someone.  WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO. Br tells her to think about it but she's all I AM DOING IT!!!  Sandra says she jumped at it with out thinking.  BR says that she's the last person you would ever want as a caller because she lives in Noura world not reality world.  Noura gets the boat back to her tribe yelling WOOOOOOOHOOOOO the whole way.  

She returns to camp and it's so bad.  Noura rushes to say she gets an advantage in the next challenge BUT you have to agree UNANIMOUSLY with my roll in the challenge.  People try to ask what the challenge is but she's all YOU HAVE TO SAY YES FIRST AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE CHALLENGE IS.  LOL.  Not sure what well thought out strategy she's using!  They agree reluctantly and she tells them it's a blindfold challenge and she is the caller.  

Dan says it is so unbelievably bizarre.  Says if people's eyes could really do full circles like cartoon characters his would be.   

Jamal starts asking her questions- why did she decide to be the caller?  

Noura: It's done.  We d

ecided.  

Jamal: yea, but why?  Noura: It's done.  I'm the caller.  

Jamal: yea but why would you want to be the caller??

 Noura: I don't know, it was the first thing I thought of.  

And then they decide to practice which goes down hill very fast.  Lauren says that a blind man could see this is a disaster in the making.  If she insists on being the caller and fails, it's her ass gone.  

Immunity Challenge: yes, it's the bindfolded challenge where they go out and get 3 bags of puzzle pieces and then do the puzzle also blindfolded with a caller.  

Purple team- you have an extra person who are you sitting out?  Everyone turns around and then they say Noura is sitting out.  LOL!!  They totally rejected her and she loses her vote.  

Jason is calling for the purple, Elizabeth for Orange.  Jason sends them out all together, Eliz sends them out as 3 teams of 2. Jason is really good and purple has all 3  keys while the orange barely gets back with one.  They have a huge start on the puzzle with Jason very calmly telling Kelley how to do it.  They are almost done when the orange tribe gets to the puzzle BUT one of the pieces is in wrong and while Jason is figuring it out Orange gets most of their puzzle done. Orange is about to set the last piece in when Eliz sees she has also made a mistake which give purple the time to redo and win immunity.  

Missy decides it's better to keep useless Karishma and use her for her vote.  Karishma thinks the tribe is a bunch of pansies.  

Dean thinks Karishma is useless (she is).  He says tonight ain't gonna be no blindside.  

Karishma tells Chelsey she is going to go out swinging. Chelsey has an idol and thinks her relationship with Dean will take her far in the fame.  

Eliz, Aaron and Missy talk.  Aaron says they need to blow the game up and Dean has to go.  Eliz pretends to go along but wonders why they would get rid of Dean now when he at least does work around camp.  She remembers that BR told her to "look before she leaps".  

Eliz tells Elaine that they are throwing Dean's name around. Tells her Missy is behind it with Aaron.  Says they aren't going to tell Tom and Chelsey.  Eliz tells Aaron that Elaine isn't on board.  Says it will alienate Chelsea and Tom.  Aaron thinks he's the only one playing the game,  Eliz tells Missy that Elaine is a no.  Missy is all "I'm here to play so I need a name from these people who they would vote out".  Missy talks to Elaine and throws out Chelsea's name.  Elaine thinks this is too much-now she's throwing out Chelsea?  She says they are all yahoos and that this vote is real gut check time.  

Tribal

Chelsea says that with 2 blindsides behind them that they clearly suck at puzzles but not at blindsides.

Karishma says she was the last back up plan and now nobody wants to talk to her.

Elaine says she can't keep up the game is moving so fast-says she doesn't know anything.

Dean says Karishma should get up and talk to other people

Chelsea agrees that you should never throw in the towel and should keep trying to talk to people

Aaron says all you need is to plant a seed of doubt.

Eliz says that one plan became plan 1,2,3,4....

Elaine says it's unnerving because you could be plan Z

Missy says it's Russian Roulette and it could be anyone

Karishma says she's loving the confusion

Missy says Karishma is still in trouble

Karishma says the chaos could be her ladder to climb out

Dean is asked what he would say to someone after a blindside?  "Sorry, thanks for playing..."4

Missy says she would be shocked to be voted off but says they are one part family one part strangers

Chelsea says a blindside makes you smile-it's like we are really playing Survivor!  "It's fun!!"

Time to vote!  Anyone wanna use an idol?  Nope....

Karishma 2

Chelsea is off with 5 plus votes!  

Hey boys and girls!  Have to say this season is better than I anticipated so far.  Question though, has anyone seen the player called Dean? Swear to God he has yet to have any screen time!

Quick update today-crazy busy and I have some pots to make today and no time to proofread!

Orange:

Vince and Aaron are mad.  Vince because I think he didn't know what was going down.  Aaron because his buddy got screwed.  Predicts "Their day will come!!"

Purple:

Noura is a bit flaky this episode.  She's mad that she stayed up with the fire last night and everyone else slept.  Says this is a lame tribe "IMO".  She does EVERYTHING -gets wood, makes fire, gets the coconuts.  AND she's jelly because Molly is all pretty and popular and she's a bit of a skank already.  Meow!  Jason tells her she needs to calm down and he promises to help her.  Basically because she's his only friend.  They agree they are both on the bottom.  Sad.  Noura suggests they use a revenge of the nerds strategy against the pretty people.  

Orange can't make fire.  Chelsea kicks it in about 2 minutes.  Then she goes out and finds an idol.  Says the "girls are dominating".  

Purple:

Noura teaches a yoga class which would get up my ASS as bad as the touchy feely guy frankly.  Jack explains his 23 year old philosophy which is to have fun and "not wear suit".  Which is find as long as your philosophy also includes living with your parents.  

A boat comes up and takes Kellee away to IoI.  She's nervous but Jason tells her to assume nothing and think out of the box.  Or save me the box to live in.  

IoI

Kellee arrives and is nervous.  She sees the giant heads and we don't get to know if she recognizes them or not because Sandra and BR comeout of their "snug".  They again read her the rules that     THEY CANNOT WIN.  Kellee pays close attention and asks what the "offer you a change to test yourself" means?

They sit down and BR starts rapid fire asking her questions-do you have fire?  Are you eating?  Do you know how to make coconut popcorn?  Then Sandra starts talking about her kids and her dogs and Kellee is looking overwhelmed-and I am correctly guessing this is the "pay attention because it's a social game" lesson.  Rob explains it and says they are going to give her a test to see what she remembers for an idol.  Kellee is hesitant about doing it-SMART!! So Rob gives her a better option of 3 questions right for a 3 tribal idol.  She agrees and gets the first 3 right!  She cries because she has such fear of failure, and then picks the next person.  

Returning to camp she cries again and tells them she had a mental breakdown.  Swears she doesn't have and idol and dumps out all of her stuff to prove it-except the idol is hidden in her bun!  

Challenge

Swim, use a ladder to until balls, land balls on a table thingy.  Wanna know?  Immunity and spices.  It's back and forth but Orange comes from behind and wins immunity.  

Purple has to go to tribal and Tommy says, it's every man for himself!

Noura begs them to keep her.  Jamal asks why they should.  She tells him she'll do whatever he wants.  Jamal wants to split the vote and wants Jason because he was looking for an idol.  Molly, Jack and Jamal are all in the cool kids agreement.  Molly wants Noura to go.  Says it would be an easy vote.  

Janet, Kellee and Lauren decide that Molly is running the show.  Lauren also hates Molly.  She tells Jason she wants Molly gone,  He tells Noura that it's not one of them and warns her not to do a happy dance.  

Janet tells Tommy that they want to blindside Molly and he things it's too soon for that.  Says it will split the tribe.  He says the choice is to stay with the cool kids or stick with the nerds who might be better for his game.  

Tribal

Get yer damn fire

Jason says that the first couple of days everyone bonded but him because they are paranoid

Tommy is asked if this is an easy first vote and he says maybe.

kellee says that Jason made a mistake by misreading the "group culture".  Or by thinking this game was friggin called ISLAND OF THE IDOLS.

Jason says he does not have an idol and offers people the chance to go through his dirty clothes.  

Molly thinks that's unnecessary

Noura says she has always been the kid that stuck out, has always kept herself on the outs.  Says it's a negative but sometimes it can be beneficial... She says these same problems effect her actual life but exaggerated here.  Yea, I don't really care.

Molly says that knowing that now about her it makes sense but, meh, I still don't like the bitch

Noura says "I can't just go along" which is something that pisses me off in life.  ANYONE can go along if they want to for a period of time.  People that act that way or say they can't go along with stuff are just self centered assholes.  LOL.  Just my opinion there.  

Dan says something about they being at a level about more than just who's most irritating

Jamal says they are all still in first gear

Jason disagrees-points out that while Jamal is cruising in 1st gear other people are playing the game hard AND worried enough to bring their stuff to tribal.  

Jamal says he just doesn't see the need to fight that hard yet.....

Lauren says she's had to be in 4th gear from their initial step on the beach.  

Kellee says there are contradictions in the group vs the individual games and predicts that after this vote they won't be one big group anymore.  

Vote.  Idol?  Nope.

Jason-2

Noura-1

Molly is totally blindsided with 6 plus votes!  

Sandra: :Damn, they played her ass.....

Survivor Island of the Idols! Week 1

Welcome to season 39 or Survivor!  

Island of the Idols-with Boston Rob and Sandra, Survivor School is in Session!  But where is Jeff??  We see the two tribes arriving at their beaches and…no Jeff.  Contract negotiations gone bad?  Very strange. 

Boston Rob and Sandra HAVE NO CHANCE AT WINNING THE MONEY.  That gets pointed out about 5 times this first week.  Which means there probably will be a twist and they can win the money.  They “will live on Island of the Idols for 39 days”, which is either bullshit or the there’s a new Ritz Carlton out of sight on that island. 

Teams are divided into 2 tribes: Orange “Lairo” and Purple “Vokai” tribe.   We start to do the who are you and why should I hate you instantly routine. 

On the orange tribe we find out we have an Olympic swimmer, Elizabeth, who is bonding with Missy who used to play basketball for the military until she found a friggin BRAIN TUMOR.  She’s currently in remission.  Vince is a Hmong, actually I think he is a first generation American from Hmong refugee parents.  Tom is some 60 year old NHL player. 

On Purple, we have the quintessential old lady (cough cough 59 year old) Janet who is hell bent on not being the first to go home. She apparently did a youtube search and learned how to make fire, so while the kids are running around working on shelter she builds a fire in about 20 seconds-seriously she was killing it AND YET, some man had to mansplain to her what to do.  I have to tell y’all STRAIGHT UP I am having trouble not seeing the arrogant male bullshit this time around. 

Orange:  Tom is impressed that Elaine is “not all prissy with her dress on” (again, see above about these older men).  Elaine is actually a factory worker from Kentucky and quite funny, which is apparently a federal crime.  She, Tom and Vince are out walking in the woods finding stuff for shelter and talking.   The remaining assortment of millennials left at camp notice they are missing and decide to form a 7 person bond against these 3.  Leading are Aaron and Ronnie, who I can tell you right now I am going to hate all season.  Aaron tells everyone that “those 3 have a target on their backs”. 

Purple is chilling around their fire with their shelter thinking this is all gonna be a piece of cake.  Jason, knowing that this season is called Island of the Idols ( to be known as IoI from henceforth) GOES OUT TO LOOK FOR AN IDOL.  And then people notice, including old white dude Dan, who is a talent manager in Hollywood and spends his days telling young people how to do stuff  he wants them to do.  He’s right on it pushing the “WHERE’S JASON” line “why would anyone do something like look for an idol”.  He predicts “he’s done, this will be impossible to dig out from”. 

Jack, the youngest at 23 is with the gang of kids frolicking in the water toilet.  He finds a giant clam and finds it hilarious that he can make it squirt at the girls.  I’m gonna let that lie right there.  Tommy is also young and apparently has bought his girlfriend an engagement ring but I guess hasn’t given it to her. Which is wise, buy the ring when you are poor in case you DO win the million bucks and that bitch want a much bigger ring.  There is apparently a core group of 6, with Jason on the outs.  Noura feels bad for him and tells him that he stepped in shit and everyone thinks he has an idol now. 

Orange:  Elaine is holding court and making everyone laugh about what a hick she is.  She tells them to remind her to put on her drawers for tribal.  Brain Tumor Missy likes all of the girls and suggests they form an all girl alliance.  She also tells Elaine she’s in trouble because she went away with Tom and Vince. 

Purple:  Talent Agent Dan is giving people back rubs which, along with being hilarious myself, is the second reason I would NEVER go on this show.  These people have no personal space.  Kellee is not a fan of the touchy feely and at one point Dan is rubbing her leg with his sweaty head and really annoying her.  Kellee is an MBA student currently living in Phila (Kevin and Ashely did I guess right?).  She says she’s a germaphobe and Dan gives her the creeps.  She talks to Molly who agrees.  Ultimately they talk to Janet about it and Janet is all SO TELL HIM NOT TO TOUCH YOU.  Kellee hangs on the sand with Dan and explains the situation.  He seems to take it well. 

Orange:  Ronnie says that initially people need to sit down and watch what’s going on.  He says he likes Elaine and thinks she has a “dangerous story”.  He decides to talk to her and give her his “good vibe Ronnie” talk about how they should work together etc.  Elaine decides he’s a weasel just from that interaction and thinks he has to go.  The whole time I am looking at Ronnie I am remembering the movie 16 Candles and thinking Ronnie is an “oily bohunk”. 

Challenge AND JEFF IS FINALLY HERE!

He gives his official welcome and Elaine says they’ve been waiting and “we thought you’d quit”. 

The challenge is : up/down an obstacle, drop a bridge, climb a tower and put together a totally cool 7 hut village puzzle.  Seriously I have just the spot for that village by my pond. 

Wanna know?  Winners get this incredibly ugly immunity idol and flint.  The Purple tribe, especially Janet are all “oh we don’t need it” and trying to get Jeff to ask them about it but alas, he’s still too preoccupied with the paternity case that delayed him to notice. 

It’s pretty close all the way until the huts and then Orange TOTALLY FALLS APART.  It’s embarrassing and Jeff gets to yell “ONE OF THE WORST BLOWOUTS IN SURVIVOR HISTORY”.  It is kinda lame that Orange never gets one hut built while Purple kills it.  They win immunity and the flint they don’t need and leave.

Orange has to go to tribal BUT WAIT….. someone has to go to the IoI and one of you has to pick a name out of this bag.  Elaine picks and Elizabeth (Olympian) is off to the unknown.  She’s freaking out because going to something called Island of IDOLS puts a target on her back and she is missing strategy. 

And now we get introduced to the Island of the Idols.  Elizabeth arrives and finds 2 giant heads-she apparently recognizes them as BR and Sandra AND THEN THEY WALK OUT.  She’s all excited and they go into their “snug” where BR again reads the oath that they are mentors who CANNOT WIN THE MILLION DOLLARS.  LOL, why do I think there were a lot of contract negotiations and BR and Sandra need the constant reminder that they ain’t winning anything? 

So they sit and chat and BR tells her that hey are there to teach her stuff and then she will have a chance to “test her knowledge”.  Elizabeth starts talking about camp life and says they don’t have fire  yet-BR is all I CAN TEACH YOU TO MAKE FIRE because you are all so effing stupid you can’t teach yourself to build fire before you come. I almost wish he had pulled out a computer and a youtube video and said, there bitch.  

BR shows her how to build a fire in  seconds and she’s all amazed.  “It’s that easy”.  Sandra takes Elizabeth away to practice making a fire-they show her making one but I hope there was more practice than that. 

They return to BR who offers her a challenge- race him to make fire and if she wins, she gets immunity good for the next 2 tribals.  Lose and she loses her vote this week.  You can tell immediately she is going to jump at the competition, and Sandra is trying to get her to think it through because “Elizabeth vs BR is a mismatch". 

Orange:  Elaine is worried.  She and Chelsea and Vince and Tom talk and they think they have 6 with Elizabeth and Missy.  They want Ronnie, the oily bohunk gone.  Karishma, Aaron, Ronnie and Vince talk and they also think they have Elizabeth with them.  They want Elaine to go.  Vince goes and tells Elaine that the other group is throwing her name out. 

Back at IoI, of course Elizabeth wants to try the challenge.  BR points out it’s a rooky mistake to jump at the first offer because he had another counteroffer for her. 

Even with Sandra being all nice and talking her through it, BR kicks her ass and makes fire in a heartbeat.   BR points out to her that although she lost she should have learned now that Survivor is full of pitfalls.  Tells her she should always  trust her gut-says she should have never gone up against him.  He them asks her to chose the next person from the Purple tribe to go (she doesn’t see who it is).

Elizabeth leaves IoI with wisdom but a lost vote tonight. 

Back on Orange Elaine talks to Dan, Aaron, Ronnie and Chelsea and tells them she doesn’t want to go home and that she will vote for whoever they say. Aaron, also a bohunk, starts throwing compliments to her and says “how about Vince”.  Elaine says OK.  After she leaves, Aaron says the decision between Vince and Elaine hasn’t really been made yet. 

Elizabeth returns to IoI and tells them it’s deserted and there are 3 urns.  The one she broke said You lose, No game.  Not sure if anyone believes her or they are concentrating on the tribal to really care.  Everyone wants Elizabeth in their corner so everyone wants to talk to her. 

Tribal

Everyone get fire.  Seriously did Jeff even do his “fire is your life” thing?  He seems really out of it.  BR and Sandra get into a little aerial hut and watch the tribal.

He asks Chelsea what everyone thought about his absence and she tells him they were all confused.

Elaine right off the bat says her name has been thrown out because she gets along with everyone.

Karishma says “likeability is a liability” and BR says she’s smart.

Elaine asks why get rid of her first just because they don’t want to sit next to her on day 39?  Why not wait until day 20? 

Oily Bohunk gives the “we have to stay strong” which is bullshit because she’s tough and there are much weaker women there

Elaine says that she’s devastated.  Starts to cry and talks about how everyone there has a story and has had to overcome a lot of things and pain to get there.  Says it’s heartbreaking that leaving first you don’t get to fulfill your dream, fill your cup up after all of that trying to get there.  She says she wanted this show to build her up not tear her down, “I’ll be devastated to go but this has been the best thing I have every done”.  And I’m sitting here sniffing picturing Laura Engels in Little House on the Prairie sitting in the candlelight watching Survivor on a little hand crank TV and dreaming of getting the HELL off the prairie and onto Survivor.  

Bohunk says he can totally relate how much this opportunity means because it means a lot to him.  Says he’s from South Boston and has had a similar life to her, goes on to list all of the shit jobs he’s had including Sears Auto store, some protein bar thing with his friend, kickboxing somewhere in Asia etc etc.  (his bio currently lists the always wildly prosperous “pro poker player”).  Totally a scam artist who can’t hold a job is all I hear. 

Vince says everyone has a story and gets all emotional.  BR and Sandra for some reason like him. He says he wants to support Elaine but is afraid of people who could impact his game. 

Aaron says it’s hard to vote anyone off….

BR asks Sandra if it was this hard for her to vote people off and she replies “fuck no, I’ll vote you out and that’s it”.  LOL

Time to vote!

Any idols?  Nope.

Vince-2

Ronnie Bohunk 6 (all he needs so no one knows Eliz had no vote)

Jeff says it’s a devastating blindside!

And we are OFF ON SEASON 39!!  Let me know what y’all think!!

 

E

 

Good Morning Survivors!  I hope you all had your final morning breakfast, and did your walk of shame with all those who have had their torches snuffed before you-although WAIT, this season only 2 have really been snuffed (and OF COURSE I own one of those).  Wonder if they will even do it this season since we've had the lingering purgatory of Extinction Island.  Notice they didn't even show it again last week? And notice when they do they try to not show that there is a well build shelter?  I think Extinction was more like Ponderosa than the sparse wasteland they initially presented.  

Should someone from Extinction win Survivor?  Will the entire cast be allowed to do the final vote?  Will they ever do this again?  Personally I hope not.  

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I am 1000% Team Devins.  No one else should win this season.  

OK, last week Devins pulled an idol out of his ass at Tribal and Ron was sent to EI which according to Gavin makes Devins 100% the target.  

Devins tells everyone that the idol he played came from Extinction, and that all idols come from there in an attempt to get these lazy asses to not look for idols.  Aurora now feels "connected" to her Victoria, Lauren and Gavin alliance after one vote.  However she agrees that Devins is so hard to get out of the game (it's called being outplayed, honey).  Devins is such an idol monster he gets up during the night and is off looking for an idol while everyone else is sleeping.  

Aurora asks the group "are we worried about where Devins is??"  Lauren says she knows he is lying about the idol fairy on Extinction.  

Aaaand, Devins finds the idol.  Seriously, they recreate the discovery for the cameras right?  Or does the cameraman stand there and point to the hidden idols to save everyone time?  But let me say, my couch in Spring City erupted in such JOY when he found it the dogs have yet to recover.  Devins gets choked up at how proud his family will be of him.  

Reward Challenge:  It's my dog's favorite challenge because it has a BALL in it.  Race with a ball, toss it into a trough and catch it at the other end, dig your way under a beam (my least favorite challenge element and it makes me break out in sweat every time).  And then the throw the ball up onto a perch and have it stick.  Wanna know?  Helicopter ride, resort trip, chicken and pasta.  

Gavin wins reward and takes Victoria and Lauren along, YET AGAIN pissing Aurora off.  And Devins has to concern troll by saying "WOW, I thought it would be Aurora, she deserves it".  Seriously, Aurora is her own worst enemy refusing to work with Devins because those 2 minds working together would kill it.  Aurora is all "I'm never part of the group...people don't want me" in a way that only a foster care child can really feel.  Gavins says "I hope Aurora knows she's STILL better off with me than with Devins".  

On reward the 3 are all "we are totally sticking together to the end".  Which is hilarious since every one of them has killed off their closest allies.  Gavin says they have to keep Devins from winning ad then get Julie out.  Lauren is particularly concerned about how close Julie and Devins are.  

Once they return to camp Victoria goes to rub it in, oh, I mean goes to smooth things over with Aurora.  With fried chicken breath.  Aurora is still mad but says that the logical choice is still to stick with the cool kids that don't really like her to get Devins and Julie out.  

Oh wait, they do cover Extinction this week.  I had totally forgotten it was so effing boring.  They get a box delivered and instead of letters from loved ones it's letters they wrote to themselves before the game began.  Do they always do this?  Is this some quazi psychology experiment Jeff is playing with for his online PhD?  Anywhoo, the letters are drivel and this is an incredible waste of time and effort to show that these maneaters have any sense of compassion of ability for growth.  Seriously my notes are just "blah blah blah".  Someone loser says that the growth and change was better than any million dollars- keep practicing that line because you're gonna be using it for the rest of your life.  Reem says something about what a loser she was in her letter and she is now A SURVIVOR (seriously I hope they throw her a few bucks for being the longest on Extinction).  David says something about how this has made things more clear with his girlfriend and I'm wondering what kind of 40 plus year old loser has to go starve themselves TWICE in order for them to consider moving to 2 dates a week?  

Back on camp, a wonderful episode is going on with Devins messing with everyone's heads by making them try to follow him while he pretends to look for the idol.  He's hiding behind trees. and escaping them and basically mentally and physically exhausting them.  

And now we get to the immunity challenge.  They have to carry blocks with letters over 2 balance beams and them do a work puzzle.  Aurora is already done because she "hates word puzzles".  

Devins wins immunity!!!!!  Woohooo!!  

He also knows that now that he has immunity they are going to go for Julie.  He asks her if she'd like to talk.  They discuss voting out Aurora and hoping they can convince someone else to join them.  

Aurora says that Devins is the thorn in her side.  She trusts her final 4 and Julie is the next logical choice to go home.  

Julie tells Lauren she and Devins are going with Aurora.  Tells her that Aurora is much stronger player than basically the other 3.  Lauren agrees and thinks she has a much better chance of winning against Julie than against Aurora.  She decides to try and convince Gavin.  She tells him it seems stupid to go for Julie but Gavin is convinced that Aurora is less likely to flip on them.  Gavin wants to make sure Victoria is in on the Julie/Aurora discussion.  Victoria is mad that Lauren was ready to vote out Aurora without talking to her and is all "Gavin came to run it by me first".  She still wants Julie.  

Devins tells Julie that he still has a few tricks up his sleeve to drive a wedge between the 4.  "Paranoid and crazy= unpredictable"

Tribal

Devins says there are a lot of unhappy people at camp whose plans got shuffled.

Julie agrees that there is a 3 person alliance without them.  Says nobody wanted to talk to her.

Aurora says everyone knows she wants Devins out.

Jeff asks Victoria if there is any danger of obsessing over Devins?  But she and Gavin basically show how much they are obsessing over him by continuing to talk about how he's the center of attention and is EVERYWHERE.  

Devins says "meanwhile I can find a lot of things"

Aurora says he's giving it 100%

Jeff points out that even though he is safe he's still their obsession.

Devins says they are a 4 person alliance-actually a 3 person because Aurora is on the outs,  He then says he has an idol and is playing it for Julie and targeting someone else to join them to vote for Aurora. 

Gavin is all nervous.

Lauren says why not add the additional drama tonight!

Aurora is scrambling and says she doesn't believe he'll actually play the idol for julie

Devins points out that the reason to protect Julie with his idol is with someone coming back from the edge it could be a 3-3 game.  He says that since he came back once, he is taking advantage of his second chance and "playing with house money"

Time to vote!!

Anyone want to play an idol?  Nope!!!!  And basically EVERYONE votes for Aurora!!  

Should be a wild ride tonight!!!  

Survivor

Pretty sure I blew this off last week-anyone notice??  LOL.  I am finding it harder and harder as this season goes towards it's conclusion which is unusual.  By now I tend to have a favorite to two to root for but this season they are all meh.  

Last week was a....wait for it.....BLINDSIDE.  Wardog was double crossed by, among others, Ron who lied to Rick about it.  In order to smooth things over with Rick, he tells him he has an advantage in the game and he gives it to him "in good faith".  Which isn't really good faith since the advantage expired a few votes ago.  Rick is instantly suspicious, wondering "why would he do that?"  But apparently not enough to read the fine print on it's expiration date.  

Challenge, and yea it's the "loved ones also get a free trip to Fuji" one. So, let's see who is here...

Rick's wife Becca is cute.  They have a son who is 4 and who keeps asking where daddy is.  Rick says he just keeps thinking of how awesome it is going to be when  his kid watches Jeff hand him the million dollar check.  

Julie's husband Mark. She says she wanted to come as a test of herself and she is sure she is gonna be a better wife and mother when she gets back.  

Lauren's Dad Joey comes out and adult child Lauren jumps on him and wraps her legs around his in a very creepy almost sexual way.  Says her Dad is her Rock.  

Ron's husband Lloyd comes out and I have to say I did not see that coming.  Gotta get my gaydar checked I guess.  Strangely Ron suddenly has a southern gay accent going on.  

Victoria's Dad comes out and he has jet black hair and I'm wondering where her red hair comes from?  Mailman??  Dad is a big survivor fan.  

Aurora's brother Shane comes on.  He is geeky but they really do seem close-at least she has a personality around him.  

Gavin's wife Carley is introduced and he wins the pathetic story prize since they moved their wedding up a week so he could marry her and then leave 2 days later to go on Survivor.  Good thing the low rent wedding hall had the week before available!  He says "Survivor is great but she is my dream".  

So the challenge is a repeat of one they have done before where the survivor runs and fills a bucket with water, throws it into the bucket the loved one is holding and then they fill something that makes a flag go up when full enough.  Wanna know?  Picnic back at your camp.  I don't even think they get enough quality time for a shag in the bushes.  

Ron wins and brings Julie along, and then Gavin with the pathetic story gets to join them.  Victoria says it makes her think twice about his loyalty.  

The winners sit on the Jeff Probst patio collection from JC Penneys chairs and couch and enjoy their food.  Ron tells his hubby he is in charge of the game and tells him he brought Gavin along because he needs him on his side.  Later everyone talks and they ONCE AGAIN all agree Rick needs to go.  

Rick is out looking for an idol, while back a camp Lauren suggests they go through his bags.  He comes back and catches Victoria and Aurora doing it and they don't give a crap that he caught them red handed.  He tells everyone Aurora was going through his bag and really, no one cares.  And then Rick is back out looking for an idol and we know that whenever the camera is on someone looking for an idol, THEY ALWAYS FIND ONE.  Actually it's a clue that the idol is hidden in a tree above their bed back at camp.  

That night still fat Rick climbs the tree while everyone keeps sleeping and gets the idol.  

Immunity Challenge

Use arms to brace between 2 walls while standing on tiny little blocks on the walls.  Gavin wins.  

Ron and Julia tell Rick it's Aurora, but they are really targeting him.  Aurora is the back up in case he has an idol.  Victoria has other ideas as to who the back up is.  She and Lauren devide it should be Ron as the back up.  Victoria and Lauren talk to Aurora-who tells them she has an extra vote.  She decides to give her extra vote to Gavin to use in case there is a tie and Aurora can't re vote.  Lauren tells Gavin that Victoria and Aurora want Ron as the back up but he feels kinda bad since he just gave him the loved ones reward.  

Tribal (and apparently even the producers have gotten tired of Extinction Island because we don't even get 5 minutes of it this week)

Jeff asks Rick if he thinks it's him this week and he says yes, AND AURORA WENT THROUGH MY BAG.  

Aurora says, whatevs, he made it clear he was looking for an idol.  

Victoria says if anyone has an idol, it's probably Rick so they need a back up plan.  

Ron says there aren't a ton of back up options and he didn't hear his name.  He gets in how heartbroken he was to not take Victoria or Lauren to the reward. 

Lauren says that who Ron took was telling and will have an impact on the game.

Gavin is thankful Ron chose him.

Julie says this season is like a pinball machine and they all have multiple alliances.  

Rick says he is trying to find the cracks but no one is talking to him.  

Ron points out that he talked to him. 

Victoria says that Rick hit the nail on the head when he said no one was talking to him.  

Rick points out that no doubt some of them are wrong about the plan tonight....

They vote. Anyone have an idol?  Rick gets up and plays Ron's advantage and Jeff tells him it has expired.  Everyone looks smug until Rick says, 'Ron and Julie you are both liars so I am playing another idol. "

Rick gets 4 votes-does not count

Aurora gets only Rick's vote

Ron gets 3 plus votes and is...wait for it....BLINDSIDED!  

On his way out Ron says, Rick Devins, you are a great player!  

NO COLLUSION!  THERE IS NO COLLUSION GOING ON BETWEEN LESU AND KAMA!!

Ok, now that I have your attention, everyone colluded last week to get rid of Julia in an epic tribal.  And we are now at the post-apocalyptic Survivor.  Wardog talks to Ron about how Aurora 'really blew the game up".  He asks, "so, tribal lines are done right??  You wanna make a completely new 6 person alliance??"  Wardog is thinking his W/K/L alliance joining with Ron, Julie and adding in a little Gavin for some young hipness.  LOL.  Because Gavin is so hip.  "First vote should be easy and should be Aurora."

And then we cut to Aurora who is bemoaning how she ruined her game.  Goes on about how she was in foster care, blah blah, and is used to having no friends.  I guess she learned to hate soccer moms in foster care.....

Bang.  Immunity challenge.  Whaaaat??  It's the crouch with a bar on your shoulders and stay there one.  I'd be out in less time than it would take for Jeff to say 'GO".  If you feel safe you can sit out and eat pizza and root beer.  Me?  I'd be EATING A CRAP LOAD OF PIZZA.  Lauren, Victoria, Wardog and Ron sit out and eat the shitty looking microwave pizza.  Aurora holds on with her foster care toughness and wins immunity.  Everyone is unhappy about that, especially Julie who is apparently her nemesis.  

The new alliance of 6 need to pow wow.  So, should we go with David, Rick or Victoria?  Gavin wants David gone.  Wardog is all in with David although he now realizes he has never worked with Ron and Julie...

David and Rick talk.  They think Wardog is a good choice-break up the power trio.  They also think Victoria is on the outs.  Rick talks to Victoria and suggests he and David form an alliance with her, Julie, Ron and Aurora.  David talks to Aurora and she says she would like to break up the Lesu 3.  She says she never in a million years thought she'd be reduced to working with David and Rich.

David and Rick talk to Julia and ask "why are people keeping the power trio??"  Julie is nervous of her new 6 person alliance because Wardog is calling the shots.  

Julie talks to Ron, and points out they are in the middle of everyone.  Which do we want as our final 6?  Ron says he is good with the Lesu 3 but Julie thinks the 3 are way too strong and that Wardog could win.  However she doesn't trust David.   Julie says it depends on Ron.  

Tribal

David says it's a new game now

Julia says she and Ron were on the bottom and she's glad they did what they did.  Says she's now playing her game

Rick says, of course we approached her

Wardog points out how loyal he is by saying he and his girls voted together 8 times

Rick points out this is why they want to be left as final 3

Ron says Wardog is doing to hard of a hard sell

David says he is loyal and everyone laughs.

David says this is either an easy vote or a hard vote and the easy vote could end everyone's game.

Kelley says she knows what David is doing and she's confident about the new group formed.

Vote: Wardog 2, David 7 and is out.  He's still smiling though!

On edge, David is the new guy and immediately they get a message in a bottle.  "Extinction offers purpose, jagged and smooth.  When you're at your most hollow you find blah blah blah.

David is all "I'm still in game mood" and he takes off. Eric thinks it's at the rice bucket and he takes off.  Nope. Chris and Joe think it's at the mast and are also wrong.  David thinks it's in the rocks and he finds an advantage allowing him to help someone still in the game.  

Bang.  Another immunity challenge.  This one is a balance thing with a paddle and 5 balls that have to sit on little dimples.  Like the kids game.  Rick says he got a present from David and his advantage is to only need to get 4 balls in.  Rick ends up winning immunity.  

Julie thinks it's finally time to get rid of her nemesis, Aurora who is "dangerous and a challenge beast".  Tonight is our chance!

Kelley says Rick is so dangerous AND is now getting help "from the other side".  

Wardog says this should be an easy vote BUUUUUUUT, maybe they should take Kelley out.  Wardog talks to Aurora, Victoria and Rick about blindsiding Kelley.  He needs Ron... He talks to Ron and his justification is that they can't get a returnee get to the final.  Ron is like WHAT THE DAMN HELL???  Wardog is so unpredictable!! If Aurora doesn't go home Julie is gonna lose her mind.  

Kelley says she is finally in the majority alliance but is still glad she has an idol!  

Aurora talks to Victoria-asks if she believes Wardog.  Aurora has an extra vote coupon still and for some reason decides to use it to curry favor with Ron.  She offers to let him hold it for her I guess so he knows she isn't going to use it.  

Ron has to decide to work with Julia or Aurora.  

Tribal

Jeff asks Rick "when do you know when it's you" and he says 'when it all feels to easy"

Victoria says she has been in very little conversations since the immunity challenge.  

Ron says once people get the taste of a blindside they want more.  "I think we're set tonight though".

Kelley agrees that a blindside every time isn't good

Wardog points out that she agreed last week to do a blindside.

Victoria says "you need to start thinking about who you want to sit next to"

Kelley points out that you still in fact need to get to the final

Julie says this season has had very little idols played-they looked but couldn't find one

Ron says "if you are in an alliance and are still going balls to the wall aggressive it's dangerous"

Julia says this is an easy vote and there's no need for drama.  

Vote.

Idols?  Nope.

Aurora gets 4 votes and Kelley gets 5.  "Wow, whole lotta lying going on!!"  

 

Most Insane Tribal Ever!!

5

5 times

5 times is how many times I have watched this tribal to understand completely what happened.

Just for you all :)

Also I think this is one of the most pivotal moments in this season, which I have realized isn't giving rise to a lot of funny updates!  Anyway I wrote up a completely different summary and then thought I needed to rewatch the tribal, so now I am completely changing this update!

So basically I think we need to go back and understand the dynamics of where we are in order to handle this episode-and y'all might be totally getting this already and not needing the remedial educating but here goes!

Where we are is 2 original tribes, with the first one, Lesu, kind of disorganized as hell.  There are basically 5 of them left, with 3 of them- Wardog, Kelley and Lauren basically  Siamese triplets having one head.  Which is good for The Wardog because when he looks full on into the camera it's clear there's not much of his brain there.  Among the original Lesu's there are also David and Rick which, in current Survivor fashion formed an alliance about 6 seconds in.   When Rick was voted off and then brought back he basically change his alliance to the other original tribe, the Kama.  Since then Rick and David have been a bit on the outs yet they are still connected through joint custody of 2 halves of an idol, and the fact that David is 1) a very forgiving person and 2) someone without a lot of other friends.  As someone said last tribal, the problem with Lesu is that they can't get their shit together and function as one-even though they have been down in the numbers from the merge.  

The other group playing a completely other game is Kama STRONG.  This consists of now 6 people because they have been eating their own since the merge.  There is Ron and Julie, who are basically the older parents, and then the youngsters Gavin, Julia, Aurora and Victoria.  They have been working with Rick recently although they suffered a pretty big split last week when G/J/A/V broke off and worked with W/K/L to get rid of Eric-who with Ron were running the game.  It was a massive break from Kama Strong and appeared to be a "game change".  

So this week begins post Eric's ouster and Ron and Julie are pissed, for the loss of Eric but particularly in Julie's case she is pissed that they didn't give her the information and she found herself basically lied to and left hung out to dry.  This basically is the entire theme of this episode and could be Kama Strong's down fall.  Ron is mostly just "screw it, I'm going to be a passenger from now on".  Gavin tries to smooth things over with him basically with the old "I wanted to stand up and get noticed for my resume by throwing the first punch".  

W/K/L are wondering where things stand with them now and thinking perhaps they have convinced the Kama Kids to join them.  Gavin pledges his undying loyalty to them and says that he can bring Victoria and Julia along with him.  

Rick and David are still in couples therapy and wondering how they can move forward in this new game.  David appears to be on the fence without any strong alliance.  David and Rick decide their best option is to re-establish trust with Ron and Julie who are pissed with the Kama's.  

David and Rick talk to Ron and Julie at the watering hole and they discuss being a voting block of 4.  Julie is very adamant that she is DONE WITH KAMA STRONG.  Julie has a meltdown, saying her game is completely upended and she doesn't know who she should trust anymore.  They're discussing who could join them and work with them and they throw out Aurora or the Wardog group?  Julie is VERY EMPHATIC that Julia is very strong and very strategic and she says those Kama Kids think they are going to be the final 4.  

Gavin talks to Julia and suggests the plan should be them, plus Victoria and the W/K/L group to get rid of David.  Gavin is especially set on David going home.  They're all standing around with Kelley and Lauren discussing it and Lauren keeps pushing for Ron to go not David.  Julia is a bit concerned by this and decides she needs to re-visit the social game of everyone.  She realizes that the W/K/L group is a very strong alliance and isn't sure how the 6 would mix.  

Immunity Challenge-it comes down to Gavin and David and Gavin wins.  He now thinks he can say that "I'm the reason David went home tonight" on his resume.  LOL, this resume padding shit reminds me of one I got from a recent college graduate that actually listed membership in the Smithsonian institute as an attribute-he basically paid the membership that gets you the magazine and a membership card.  Still makes me laugh. 

Once back at camp everyone scrambles to their current alliances leaving David, Rick and Julia at camp.  Rick tries to break up the new Kama Kids/ Lesu 3 alliance by pitching how strong the W/K/L group is. He makes the same pitch to Gavin and then to Victoria and is trying to be patient with this new alliance breaking down.  

Kelley and Lauren are afraid if they work with the Kama Kids to get rid of David then Kama Strong could get back together and they 3 would be in even worse shape.  Lauren keeps pushing for Ron over David, making the point that Ron has way more connections in the game than David does.  Lauren makes her case to Julia, who is now all worried why the Lesu 3 are so adamant about Ron over David, thinking now they are trying to bamboozle them to get rid of another Kama and keep David.  Julia is now wondering if they should go back to Kama Strong.  She talks to Victoria who wants to get rid of Kelley- "get rid of the queen and the hive will collapse".  

Ron is like, whatever you want.  Julie doesn't believe anything anyone is telling her.  

Ron, Victoria,Gavin and Julie talks about who Kama Strong would go after and they say Kelley.  Gavin pitches a fit because he wants David and isn't getting his way, screaming DICTATORSHIP, which is apparently millennial for "I did not get my way".  

They're all eating and it's dead quiet.  David says his spidey sense is telling him it's him.  He talks to Rick about it and he agrees so they decide the 2 part idol should be used for him tonight.  Also during the quiet dinner Julia gives Kelley the big nod and indicates that she's all on board with them.  Kelley is weirded out by it and is very confused because although Julia is basically giving her the heads up, neither Victoria or Aurora will talk to her.  Kelley says her gut is telling her to play her idol.  

And then we go to tribal and it's not even 8:30!!!

Soooooo, to recap the recap we go into tribal with 2 potential plans, each based upon where GVJA come down.  Plan 1 is WKL join with GVAJ to vote out David.  Plan 2 is Kama Strong comes back together to vote out Kelley.  David and Ron are basically left out and Ron and Julie think it's plan 2 but Julie doesn't trust that's true.  

So right out of the gate Jeff brings up the blindside and Julie says she is still mad about being on the wrong side of it and she doesn't trust anyone. Aurora, in her first speaking role, says that you can't really bring a lot of people into a blindside, and she points out that the time before other people were also left out so there could be a blindside.

Wardog's expression is priceless as he points out that she basically said "last time we needed to use people to take out Eric, and this time we are using people to take out someone else".  And he asks her "is it our plan or am I just a passenger on your plan?" Kelley agrees and says that's the vibe I'm getting too-I was trying to establish trust with people BUT I am also afraid Kama Strong is going to get back together so I'm not sure what's gonna happen tonight.  

David, in response to something Jeff asks him, says earlier today he was taking a poop in the water, watching a school of minnows swimming by when a shark came up and ate some of the minnows.  And he says that tonight it is likely that with a reconstituted Kama, a Lesu will be a minnow tonight.  

Jeff asks Devins if he's a minnow or a shark tonight and Devins says he might be the poop.  He says he has no idea what is going to happen-says 4 people were the hot date today (GVJA) and they were going to get back to us but they blew us off.  Gavin says they weren't avoiding them but people were breaking off and coming back with new plans all day.  

Julie melts down again, saying she feels like a lunatic but this game is so hard.  She says she's not in a clear mind (ok, let's also point out she's basically been skating on Kama Strong the entire game and this is the first time she's had to think) and she's not sure she's been told the correct plan and it could be another blindside.  

Kelley is all WHAAAAAT???  Surprised that there might be another plan and she asks Aurora and Julia if they are good and Julia says "we are all good".  

Ron is also saying that this vote will tell Julie and I where we stand and we'll feel better if things go as we think tonight.  

Jeff them inserts himself into the game at this point (IMO) telling Julie she isn't a lunatic but also calling Julia out for laughing while Julie was pouring her heart out.  He asks Julia what was so funny and she tells him she was laughing because while she was talking Kelley asked if we were good AND I SAID YES.  

And then BOOM!!!  Rick points out that Julia just gave the game away-says "I guess they are going with the Lesu 3!!"  Not sure if Rick believes it but he has successfully inserted the knife into Ron and Julie and is now about to twist them free from Kama Strong.

Aurora wades into it by saying "I love how Lesu, either together or split, are playing the game.  She says they must think basically Kama is stupid in not realizing that perhaps Lesu figured out last tibal that if they get together and get over their issues they could work together. Says they're  "We're with you and are going to blindside and then the other side is all we're with YOU and are going to do a blindside..." What they're trying to do is create mistrust.  

W/K/L are all frowning and confused.....

Rick says "hey, ask Eric or Aubry or Joe how good Kama can trust each other....."

David is totally laughing at the turn of events!

Aurora says that she's not saying they are the only dysfunctional tribe, she says Kama owns up to their dysfunction.  David and Wardog are amused-" we never said we weren't dysfunctional!!!"

During this back and forth Julia tells Aurora "you are spilling the beans" to which Aurora replies "no I'm not....THEY DON'T KNOW...."

Rick then "throws this out there" that there seems to be a Kama group that doesn't want anyone questioning them, and then there are 5 Lesu and 2 Kama which is 7 and if we do that we could do whatever we want since Aurora wants Lesu to work together.  Julia is all "oh I thought Lesu was all dysfunctional but now Rick is throwing this plan out there".  Rick points out "I think Aurora threw it out there, I'm just on board with it...."

Julia tells Rick, "you're just a passenger" to which he says "Passenger??  Hell I think I just got the GPS...."  He says he can see why Julia doesn't want this to happen but they could " take the power away from the Kama Kids who are just messing with us".  Julia tells him he is just paranoid because he's not part of the "many plans tonight" and he asks her "then shouldn't I make my own plan Julia??"  

Things quickly begin to spin out of control as Wardog talks to Ron and Julie (who are incidentally sitting by themselves surrounded by Lesu....) and says I'll work with you.  

Aurora says "oh so now you are making plans for Ron and Julie??"  And he points out that he's not making plans but broaching a GREAT idea....

Julie says that Rick's proposal sounds good to her.  Wardog continues to talk to Ron.  David is just enjoying it all and says there's a whole lot of desperation tonight!!  

Wardog tells Ron-Aurora??  I'll go Aurora.  Everyone is all up and talking and moving around and David taps Kelley on the back and says "hey remember me?"  But then Ron calls David and Rick over and he's like "hang on..."  So in one corner is David, Rick, Wardog and Lauren, with Ron and Julie and Victoria is trying to get in and stop the talking.  Rick goes back to Kelley and says "a truce could go a loong way tonight..."  

Kelley talks to J/G/A and asks if the plan was THE plan tonight?  and they tell her yes.  She tells them she isn't going to turn on them.  

Julie is good with the new plan says lets do it and then TAKE THEM ALL OUT.  Ron says, "we could take Victoria out tonight" and she is standing right there.  Rick looks over and says "it looks like we aren't going to have Kelley tonight.  Julie is heard saying "I'd go for Julia over Aurora tonight" and Wardog is all "you want that name?  I could go for that name...you pick the name!!"  

Lauren walks over to Kelley to talk to her and Julia gets up and pours gasoline on the fire by getting pissy with them.  Julie yells I AM OUT!!  Says she has seen the looks they have all been passing all day!!!  

David asks Kelley what the plan was tonight and she admits it was him.  

Aurora gets up and says "OMG I can't deal with these soccer moms..."

(BY THE WAY THE JURY IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS TRIBAL)

Kelley finally tells Rick and David  "if you want to do a plan, let's do a plan!"

Julia is yelling at Julie that she is going to throw away KAMA control and Julie is all I DON'T HAVE ANY KAMA CONTROL!!!  Says she is on the bottom and ready to jump ship-which she illustrates by running over to Rick, David, Kelley and Lauren.  Wardog is still  negotiating and vote counting.  Ron suddenly starts looking nervous and is being worked on by G,V and Julia.  He calls Julie back over. Victoria tells Lauren and Wardog she told them to vote David, and David is all I HEARD THAT.  LOL!  

Wardog says "let's vote" and Julia tells him to shut up.  Rick says he was criticized for bringing up the idea but "I'm glad I did!"  

Everyone slowly starts returning to their seats and then they say WE ARE READY TO VOTE.  

Rick plays the 2 halves of the idol for David but it wasn't necessary because the vote is 1 David, 1 Kelley and all the rest turned on Julia!  

WHEW!!!!!  My head is still spinning!  And at the end Wardog says "RIIIIICK DEVINS!!!" 

And that, boys and girls, is how you build your resume!!!!!  

(is anyone still reading?????  LOL!!!)
