Episode 33.6

I get really far behind on the tapes that I’m watching in regards to what other TV shows have aired. For instance, I haven’t seen the last season finale of The Flash yet and neither have I seen the last episode of The Grinder yet. There’s also an episode of Rush Hour that I still have recorded and left to watch. I get behind on shows so much that there’s always something I’m behind on. I have only been caught up on tapes once, well, since I started a new method of watching them, at least.

This isn’t related to Survivor, but I have had problems recently with an antivirus program I’ve been using. While I thought that AVG was the best antivirus, it seemed to keep asking about an update that it never asked for before. I don’t know yet if I’m still on the free version or not. I hope that I am. If I’m not, I hope that I can get it back again because it seemed as if I was put onto a trial version of something that I’d have to pay for after a month has passed. I’m not paying for something and hope that I haven’t somehow already. Hopefully this problem can be easily resolved.

I’ve had other computer issues the day the last post was updated as it seems like I almost got stuck on a page that was obviously spam. I was able to get out of it and ran antivirus as a precaution which caused me to find out about that problem as it was having its own problems. And this was after getting a suspicious email supposedly from outlook about a problem they said my account had. I hope that I don’t lose the account and doubt I would. At least I have multiple email accounts, even though losing my outlook account would mean losing a fan fiction account I don’t use that much, a facebook account I use a lot, my imdb account, my twitter account, and various other accounts that I don’t remember off hand. You wouldn’t think that I’d actually lose the account by outlook’s own doing so we’ll see if anything bad happens or not.

Something very unusual is going on in the world: the Cubs are actually playing the World Series for the first time since 1945. I didn’t know that such a thing was actually possible. I really hope that people show up to the event dressed up as goats. If someone says they’re not allowed, then they should curse the Cubs again. Meanwhile, the Cubs have only won the World Series twice, both times against the Detroit Tigers. Since they won’t be playing the Tigers (they will be playing the Cleveland Indians this year), I don’t think that they will win. But stranger things have happened. We’ll just see if the long held belief that something terrible will happen after their win (besides, of course, them winning) actually holds up in the event that they win.

There are so many different fucking commercials that are annoying me right now. For one, they’ve started Christmas commercials. Then there’s this confusing one using the song School’s Out. Not to mention all the political commercials that make me want more of the Christmas commercials. Man, I really miss the days before Citizens United. And I also hope that Jason Kander wins his election. If he doesn’t, it would be as stupid as when Alison Lundger Grimes lost to Mitch McConnell. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, the orange tribe, Vanua, gets back from tribal council. Zeke gloats over his enemies taking out one of their own. Jay wants to take care of his ladies on the green tribe. He then goes looking for an immunity idol on his tribe and finds it. They are too easy to find if you ask me. At least they are found and potentially used. I believe that Will is with him when he finds the idol. And who else comes to witness it but Michaela.

In the second segment of the show, we get to the reward challenge. Figgy kinda doesn’t know how to handle herself around others. I don’t think that I hate her, but I hope that she doesn’t win. Hannah sits out of the challenge, so how would there be medical problems with her if she wasn’t even playing in it? This seems weird, but I guess that I’ll have to see what happens. I wouldn’t say that there would never be a medical evacuation at a challenge where a person who wasn’t participating is hurt, but I guess that we’ll have to see what happens for sure.

As usual, there is a lot of confusion at the challenge and it appears that the orange tribe is having the most problems at it, although the purple tribe isn't doing much better. You can normally tell which tribes work well together at this challenge more than most others. It is around the point where all the tribes are solving the puzzle when Hannah starts to feel faint. The orange tribe gets first place. The green tribe gets second place. It looks like she might be having an anxiety attack. I’ve been there. Those aren’t fun. Wait, not an anxiety attack; a panic attack is what she’s having. That was weird and we’ll see whether or not this factors into more of the game. I hope that she's okay and I never like a medical evacuation despite my possible obsession with them. Figgy feels like she failed after the challenge.

In the third segment of the show, Zeke feels that Figgy doesn’t like him. He now wants to turn against Michelle since he feels that he was at the bottom of his old tribe. On her tribe, Hannah talks about her anxiety. She quotes Kim from One World. Taylor and Figgy wonder whether or not they should reveal to the people on their new tribe about their showmance. The two gen x people both knew about this when Figgy tells them because Tiggy was not doing a good job keeping it secret.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. I’m going to guess that the purple tribe loses the challenge. It appears that Michaela and Hannah are bickering at the challenge, despite actually doing well together. Thus, the green tribe wins immunity first. Michaela then decides to offer verbal help to the orange tribe which is a risky thing to do. Whether or not her help works is what helps the orange tribe, Vanua to win immunity second. She is then a bit bitchy after the challenge. Thus, the purple tribe goes to tribal council and the prechallenge edit is true once more.

In the fifth segment of the show, Adam (not me) wonders how he should vote as to whether or not he should stick with his old tribe or not. Taylor doesn’t think that he can trust Adam. Jessica and Ken want to work with Adam. Which side will he join? You never want to be the swing vote in the game? Should he turn on his old tribe or get rid of the couple? Either move is risky. Please get rid of Figgy. Jeff points out that he’s an ordained minister, although the Universal Life “Church” which he’s ordained with is not a real church as they will literally let anyone be a pastor. They’ve let atheists be pastors.

Anyways, back to the actual show, Adam still doesn’t know which side to join and Taylor made it seem like he’d come after Adam if this doesn’t go down well. At least he doesn’t have to worry about using his idol, does he? Also, I will keep a secret when it happens what new thing I will do when he gets voted out. Figgy is voted out. Interesting, if he decided to waste his idol on Ken, they probably would have left his vote a mystery. But would it still be a good move? I think that him keeping it was the right move.

On the next Survivor, Taylor seeks vengeance on Adam while Zeke and David get together. You know, I like a lot of the players this season, but it is hard to find which one of them to root for long term. I mean, who is the best of these players? Who will win? It could be a lot of people.

Total confessional count: Ken- 12, Michelle- 4, Hannah- 6, Zeke- 12, Jay- 8, Taylor- 10, Will- 3, David- 19, Michaela- 13, Sunday- 3, Figgy- 9, Chris- 10, Adam- 11, Bret- 4, Jessica- 10.

New confessionals this episode: Michelle- 0, Hannah- 1, Zeke- 2, Jay- 1, Taylor- 2, Will- 0, David- 1, Michaela- 1, Sunday- 0, Figgy- 2, Chris- 0, Adam- 2, Bret- 0, Jessica- 1, Ken- 2.

Figgy had two confessionals this episode, the same as Adam, Zeke, Ken, and Taylor. Everyone else had less. Sunday, Chris, Michelle, Bret, and Will all had no confessionals this episode. In terms of the total confessional count, Figgy had nine. Michaela, Ken, Chris, Adam, Zeke, Jessica, Taylor, and David all have more confessionals than she did, with David as the highest with nineteen. Will and Sunday tie for the lowest with three. It was weird that Will didn’t even get a confessional about Jay’s idol. I’m also wondering why we’ve seen so little of Bret this whole game. Which one is he? I guess that we will see what happens later with these players. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
