Episode 35.3

My local news did another brief story on Jessica. Maybe someone is doing an in-depth analysis of her game, but I wouldn’t do such a thing for just anyone. I don’t think that I’d do that for anyone the first time that I watch a season and would wait until rewatching it if I did. If something important airs on the news, I’ll let you know. But this makes me hope that she gets voted out earlier so I’m not spoiled to anything if I haven’t seen the episode yet.

Last episode, we learned about Patrick and the fact that he doesn’t like crabs. Maybe he is scared of some of them or maybe there are problems of some other sort. He could see crabs as greedy creatures. But I do think that there is good reason to fear a crab if you encountered this one.


Of course, Patrick could have a problem since he knows that Mr. Krabs is obsessed with money. Patrick’s best friend SpongeBob SquarePants might have had too many problems with his weird ways and habits. But at least Patrick has a good song to remember that he wrote.


Another reason that Patrick hates crabs could relate to Pokémon. There are crab based Pokémon, most notably crabby (or is it krabby or some other spelling? I can’t remember). Maybe he could never catch one although he tried to a lot. Or maybe it does relate to STDs of some sort. He could be allergic. Or we might never know.

I had a dream that I was somehow the host of Survivor. Jeff Probst was a disguise that I put on whenever I wanted to host Survivor. Some people know of my real identity who played Survivor. Lex from Africa was one of the first contestants who knew this. Only I would have been way too young to host Survivor when it first came out. I don’t think that I’d be a good host of this show. I could host a talk show in my mind, but so could anyone when you think about it. But enough of my ramblings.

In the first segment of the show, we start at the hustlers tribe. Simone left clothes at camp at some people are taking it as their own. What happens when this happens? Do they ever get their stuff back? Ryan wants to target Lauren since she isn’t aligned with anyone. Patrick saying that he only trusts most people is what people talk about and they don’t trust him on his tribe as a result. Also, a rock may or may not actually be an octopus. Say what?

In the second segment of the show, we get to the heroes tribe whose actual name I can’t remember because they don’t tell us that much if at all. They are the heroes tribe (not to be confused with the heroes of the twentieth season). Alan can’t get a coconut open. Nuts best avoid working with other nuts then I guess. Ashley wants to get rid of Alan. Power couples aren’t good to have on Survivor. Joe has the idol and he thinks that everyone else thinks that Mike has the idol. Only Cole knows that Joe has the real idol. Jessica is a #sluginlove. She’s a virgin which is actually an admirable quality in a woman for me. It would be weird if I was the only virgin in the relationship. I know virgin women who married men who weren’t. Cole tells Jessica about Joe’s idol as they bond on the island.

In the third segment of the show, Patrick’s tribe thinks that he is looking for an idol. One doesn’t need an idol to win and terrible players can wind up with one. Ali thinks that she should offer him advice so that he doesn’t ostracize himself from the rest of the tribe. Joe complains about the food and the rest of his tribe complains about him. Cole starts to work on eliminating Joe and reveals that Joe has the idol to other people. Jessica is not okay with it as she thinks they shouldn’t do this plan until they are going to tribal council.

In the fourth segment of the show, we get to the immunity challenge. Please do reward challenges this season. Please? Or at least make it so that these challenges don’t have a reward winner except who comes in first and not who comes in second. The healers make a mistake which costs them first, but they still come in second place. The hustlers go to tribal council as a result.

In the fifth segment of the show, we go back to the hustlers tribe. Patrick talks about his failure at the challenge. Lauren wants to get rid of him and he wants to get rid of her. But will someone do something dumb? Lauren thinks that she’s in danger. Ali tries to talk down Lauren as they talk later. Ryan thinks that he and Devon are the leaders on their tribe. People go to them with their problems. I guess that we will see as things go along who is really in control.

We then get to tribal council next. Lauren seems to air her tribe’s dirty laundry all over the place. Has Coby’s elimination taught people nothing? Both Patrick and Lauren think that they will be blindsided if they are voted off instead of the other person. That’s not how blindsides work. I’ll admit that I’m on Lauren’s side about Patrick’s evil smile that I just want to smack right off of his face. I hate people like that. Well, I’m really confused going into the vote, which is the editor’s intent, I’m sure. No idols are played. Good chances are that there isn’t an idol if they haven’t shown us, which is dumb. Patrick is voted out of the game. That’s good. I didn’t like him.

On the next Survivor, we get to the drop your buffs moment which seems a bit early to me. They have only done this after four eliminations at all the other three tribe seasons so I guess that it is good to shake things up. There’s nothing else to the promo besides that.

Total confessional count: Chrissy- 3, Jessica- 5, Roark- 2, Cole- 3, Joe- 6, Ashley- 5, Devon- 3, Lauren- 7, Ryan- 11, Desi- 2, Mike- 2, Alan- 5, Patrick- 4, Ben- 5, Ali- 8, JP- 2.

New confessionals this episode: JP- 0, Chrissy- 0, Jessica- 3, Roark- 1, Cole- 1, Joe- 2, Ashley- 1, Devon- 1, Lauren- 4, Ryan- 3, Desi- 1, Mike- 0, Alan- 1, Patrick- 2, Ben- 2, Ali- 3.


Patrick had two confessionals this episode, the same number as Ben and Joe. The people who are higher are Lauren, Ryan, Jessica, and Ali with Lauren as the highest with four. Everyone else is lower with Mike, JP, and Chrissy as the lowest with no new confessionals. In terms of total confessionals, Patrick had four confessionals. Ryan, Alan, Jessica, Ben, Ali, Joe, Ashley, and Lauren are all higher with Ryan the highest with eleven. He’s the first to reach double digits and this is after only three episodes. He could be in it for the long haul, an early exit, or late merge blindside. Everyone else is lower with total confessionals with Desi, Mike, Roark, and JP as the lowest with two a piece. There’s not much else to say about this. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
