Episode 34.2

Interesting fact: both Ciera and her mother Laura have been the first voted out of a tribe. Now I’m not sure if I’ll keep track of all the nominations for my dumbest moves of the season award as the season goes on, but Tony’s weird playing has to be nominated. How did his game go so wrong? Another fun fact about Ciera is that there is only one other person who played the game three times and ranked lower each time. Russell Hantz is no longer alone as he was the only person before her to have this fact about themselves (that I know of at least). But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we immediately get to the tribe swap. There is now a green tribe in addition to the blue and red tribe. The new red tribe: Hali, Tai, Brad, Caleb, Sierra, and Debbie. The new blue tribe: Malcolm, Michaela, Sandra, Aubry, Jeff Varner, and JT. The new green tribe: Ozzy, Zeke, Sarah, Troyzan, Cirie, and Andrea. Or, I think that I got them all on the right tribe. They never actually said who was on each tribe, though. JT gets his tribe to go out on the sea and then leaves them to try to find the hidden immunity idol. #devious. The people back on the boat get suspicious of him. Sadly, this may have put him more on the outs than he was wanting to. Hopefully this doesn’t get him voted out, but I’m just hoping that he avoids epic fails like the last time he played.

In the second segment of the show, Brad tries to make his new tribe his home now. Hali and Caleb are seemingly at the bottom of their new tribe, but Tai has plans to keep Caleb around. Brad wants to get rid of Caleb while Tai wants to get rid of Debbie. We then get to the Tavua (green) tribe getting to their camp for the first time. Ozzy and Cirie might want to work together. Everyone on their tribe probably wants to get rid of Troyzan. He then goes looking for the idol and he finds a message on a bottle (sending out an SOS). He learns where he can find the idol.

In the third segment of the show, there are goats on the blue tribe. JT wants to get them to help keep himself safe in the game. Remember how Richard the provider was able to keep himself safe? They won’t get rid of the momma goat who apparently has horns. But they think about getting rid of the baby. Will they eat the goat or not? They talk amongst themselves to see what to do so they get rid of the goat and eat chickens instead. I’m not sure why this is in here. I guess that we could see a symbolism in the future of letting the goat get away with people on this tribe.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. We also have rewards and the winner gets a tarp and their choice between comfort and flavoring food. The runner-up gets the rejected choice of the first place tribe. Troyzan feels like he is poorly placed in the challenge in terms of trying to get the idol. I would feel like it would be cool if he got the idol, everyone voted against him, he played the idol, and cast the only vote that mattered. The red tribe loses the challenge and Troyzan manages to get the idol. What’s weird is that idol players are very active in the game. I might have to do a post about them. Debbie thinks that the vote will be easy. But are things ever really that easy on Survivor? It seems that those who think it is get their asses handed to them.

In the fifth segment of the show, Hali feels that she is at the bottom. Debbie feels that relationships from old seasons matter this time around. Tai wonders where his loyalties lie. Is the choice as easy as Hali or Caleb? We then get to tribal council next. Hali thinks that she’s more at the bottom than Caleb is. She tries to save herself, but I don’t know if she’s doing well on that front or not. Why don’t they show many voting confessionals anymore? Are people not giving entertaining ones anymore? Caleb is the one who gets voted out. That seems like a strange pick. Thus, he leaves around the same time he did the first time. Maybe he’s not as good a challenge asset as people thought he was.

On the next Survivor, JT tries to get rid of Sandra and they are finally using the double tribal council twist in a three tribe season. I sure have missed that twist. It hasn’t happened since Nicaragua. And they have a good way of using it by making one of the three tribes immune while the other two have to vote someone out. Maybe people in production do read this blog. (Pick me!) Otherwise, they just finally went with the obvious twist. As for this blog, the readers of it keep coming and I tend to have over a thousand people reading certain posts. I wonder what this crazy moment Jeff Probst was reacting to.

Total confessional count: Malcolm- 8, Sarah- 2, Ozzy- 3, Caleb- 5, Troyzan- 4, Zeke- 3, Sierra- 2, JT- 4, Tai- 4, Jeff Varner- 4, Debbie- 5, Andrea- 2, Aubry- 2, Michaela- 5, Brad- 5, Sandra- 10, Cirie- 5, Hali- 3.

New confessionals this episode: Debbie- 2, Andrea- 1, Aubry- 0, Michaela- 1, Brad- 3, Sandra- 2, Cirie- 1, Hali- 2, Malcolm- 3, Sarah- 0, Ozzy- 2, Caleb- 2, Troyzan- 3, Zeke- 1, Sierra- 1, JT- 3, Tai- 2, Jeff Varner- 2.


Caleb had two confessionals this episode, the same number as Hali, Ozzy, Debbie, Tai, Sandra, and Jeff Varner. The only people higher than them had three confessionals. They were Malcolm, Troyzan, JT, and Brad. At the bottom, with no new confessionals, were Sarah and Aubry. As for total confessionals, Caleb had five, the same number as Debbie, Michaela, Brad, and Cirie. The only people higher than them are Malcolm and Sandra with queen Sandra as the highest with ten. So far, the lowest in total count are Andrea, Sarah, Aubry, and Sierra with only two confessionals a piece. I guess we will see what happens later as time moves on. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
