Survivor - Nicaragua, 12192010

What about that?? A new survivor was crowned last night in LA, in front of family, friends and fans of the survivors. As usual, there were survivors that were voted off that held grudges against the 3 finalists! How did I know that? By the look in their faces!

Take for instance, Dan Lembo, who proclaimed to the other survivors that he is rich!! He claims he owns many cars, and 20 more alligator shoes that cost at least $600! He revealed that to Holly Hoffman when she threw Dan's shoes in the water! As a peace offering last night, Holly gave Dan a cowboy boots as a replacement for his alligator shoes!!! Whoopie!!! Do you think Dan will wear that cheap shoes when he has other expensive shoes??? It will probably gather some dust in his basement! Come to think of it, why did he ever join the survivor if he is filthy rich? He can't even do anything in the camp because of his bad knees!! He was useless in all of the challenges...he was getting a free ride towards the end with Fabio and others since they do not see him as a threat! He was finally taken out by the reamaining 4, Holly Hoffman, Chase Rice, Nash and Fabio! The next one to go was Holly, the only woman standing! Boo...hooo... for Holly! She really fought to stay until the end, but the guys stuck together!

Jud "Fabio" Birza won the last 3 challenges at the end! Bravo! Fabio!! He did not win any challenges before...so I thought he was either dumb or a very weak contender! He can be given a good acting award! I guess he did not win any challenges and remained nonchalant at the beginning to keep people off his back! A very good strategic move on his part!

Wow! Every body seems to be upset with Matthew " Sash" Lenahan. I can see why..he tried to control and manipulate everyone! He did not get even a single vote! Chase was also the target of a few people because of his voting off Brenda, his ally and his crush! But he exonerated himself when he explained why!

The votes were very close: Chase 4, Fabio 5! Throughout all the grueling quetions of the 3 finalists by the jury, Fabio has been laughing and smiling! Is that his usual thing or is that a nervous laugh?? He seems so endearing with his laughing and smile while Chase and Sash were too stiff and very serious! Congratulations, Fabio...the youngest to win the Survivor title! Only 21 years old! I guess that really proves that young can beat the old timers when it comes to physical and mental challenges!!! Any comments???

Is this Jeff Probst last Survivor episode? Who knows and who cares? Because Of NaOnka Mixon and Kelly Shinn's quitting the show, there will be a new twist on the coming survivor episode in February! Is everyone ready to watch it????

Survivor Nicaragua, 12082010

Another survivor was blindsided and is the 6th member of the jury! Wow! Whoever is the manipulator in this game is good! Who is it? Who was sent home packing? Why is Jeff seems upset with NaOnka and Purple Kelly quitting?

The show started with the reward challenge which was a yucky game. The survivors went through mud, retrieved a key and toss rings and bags. Chase won ! Who did he take to go with him to have the shower and other amenities? Holly and Jane! When he chose Jane, I went, "Oh oh." Chase promised if he win a reward challenge that Sash will be going with him! It was indeed a stupid move to bring Jane instead of Sash, which Chase admitted to Holly! Chase seems to be a wishy washy person! No, he is just trying to be nice to the older ladies who are in his alliance! Was Sash able to forgive him?

There are definitely 3 alliances: 1 - Jud" Fabio"Birza, Ben" Benry" Henry, and Dan Lembo. 2 - Chase Rice, Holly Hoffman, and Jane Bright. 3 - Sash, all by himself! He voted off his alliance Brenda, and NaOnka quit! But it seems that even though Sash does not have an alliance, he controls every one of the survivors! Why are they letting him call the moves? Probably because they know that he has the immunity idol! Dan said that Sash cannot be trusted but still follow him! Why is Dan still in the game? He does not win anything and seems useless! Watch that he will be in the final 3 and win the million dollars just keeping quiet and a yes man to all!

While Chase and company were enjoying their reward challenge, Benry and Fabio decided to eat the chicken! Whoa! When Jane returned and found out that the chicken is gone, she was beside herself! Oh my gosh! Jane did a memorial for the chicken complete with a cross! What the heck?? Is Jane a vegetarian? Comments? Is she losing it? I can understand because she has been in the jungle for many, many days now!! Wow! She must be really bored too...to have a memorial for a chicken!!! Isn't that amazing???

Who did you think won the immunity challenge? Sash who is very comfortable with his role as the manipulator of the game! How long do you think the survivors will listen to him? The people that they were trying to vote off was Fabio or Benry. Benry did not know that he was going to be blindsided! Fabio voted for Holly; Benry and Dan voted for Fabio; Chase, Holly, Jane and Sash voted for Benry!

In the tribal council, the members of the jury came. Among them were NaOnka and Purple Kelly who looked good. Jeff announces them as the quitters! They looked good and I think they do not really care what everyone says about them including Jeff Probst! Go, girls! You have all the right to withdraw from the game, if it will cost you your health and sanity! You were brave to do that and I applaud you both!

Who will be voted off next week? Will Sash still remain the manipulator? Will Fabio be the next target? Good questions which we have to wait until next week for the answers!

Survivor Nicaragua, 12012010

This episode had a new development that I do not think has happened before in the history of Survivor! And what is that? Two survivors are quitting!! Just like that!!! In a blink of an eye...not one, but 2 people! Surprise! Surprise! I think even Jeff Probst was surprised at the sudden development of the show! Now, there will be no voting in the tribal council tonight! The other survivors are sooo thankful to these two! Wow!!! What a shocker!!! The others really felt relieved that they can survive 2 more weeks!!! Does that mean they do not have to vote next week also?? How about the people on the jury??? They were also so shocked and surprised and at the same time mad as a burrito! Why did you say burrito? I have another word but I do not think I can say that word here! Plus I can say anything I want since this is a free country! Sort off, is it not?? He! He! He!

The survivors had to be divided into 2 teams: the yellow team - Fabio, Sash, Purple Kelly S, and Jane; the blue team - Chase, NaOnka, Holly and Benry. Each team had to be tied together while they have to untie a giant Gulliver and go though a series of obstacles. The obstacles were not easy! They had to climb over to the other side while bringing Gulliver and go though mud, hay etc. Yikes!!! A very physical challenge! I applaud these survivors for going through all these physical challenges! Dan, on the other hand, is having a free ride all along, not participating in the reward challenge! He chose the winning team, which was the blue team!!! The reward was going to the Survivor's Cinema to see Gulliver's Travels, and feast on hot dogs, nachos and popcorn! Yum! Yum!

Since the survivors lost their tarp and food, Jeff made them an offer that only Holly took, which was to give up her place in the cinema. In exchange, the survivors can have the tarp and rice! How noble Holly was!!! Or was it just to gain sympathy and friendship from the others??? Hmmm...You always think of something! Oh, well...NaOnka and Purle Kelly announced that they were quitting the game. Jefft looked surprised, but not the other survivors. What was the reason that they were quitting??? They cannot take anymore the harsh weather that is on them day in and day out! Jeff told them to think it over until the tribal council! Do you think they made a mistake? No, I do think so! At least they lasted for 28 days!! Wowie!! That is indeed an accomplishment! NaOnka and Kelly S...Bravo!!!! Good job, girls!!! If that was me, I would have quit the 1st day... with the punishment you take everyday, living in the open, always cold and hungry! I like my bed, showers, food...the whole thing!! I was wondering though about Jane and Holly. My gosh these are 2 elderly women out there! The million dollars must have been a really good incentive for them! Jane Bright is 56 and Holly Hoffman is 44!! Woo...hooo....ladies!!!! you both are either insane or like physical challenges!!! I hope you two get to be the last 2 standing against the young men and Dan Lembo,63, who is a weakling!

The tribal council was just a reiteration of what NaOnka Mixon, 27, and Purple Kelly Shinn, 20, told everyone during the reward challenge that they are quitting! No ifs, buts or maybe!!! Good job girls!!! Will they be joining Alina, Marty and Brenda in the jury house, since they were not voted off but they quit?? Who knows?? Will there be some more that will quit??

This is really one show that will test your endurance and the will to live in an environment that is harsh and open! Are you up to the challenge for the next episode to win a million dollars????

Survivor - Nicaragua, 11172010

The survivors are changing their alliances!!! What do you mean? And which survivors are changing??? NaOnka, for one. She used to be Brenda's best friend. Now, she is working against her!!! How about Sash?? He only used Brenda. Didn't you see that he was chummy with Marty before he left??? You cannot trust NaOnka and Sash!!!! How about Chase??? I think Brenda had Chase wrapped around her little pinky!!!! He will do anything to get back with Brenda!!! He wished!!! I do not think Brenda really likes him!!! Brenda seems to be arrogant, with a high and mighty attitude!!! Those attitudes will get you nowhere in life, let alone the survivor drama!!!!

The reward challenge was a simple one... the team's had to go across using 4 barrels and slabs of wood. If one of the teammate touches the ground, they have to go back to the starting point!!! See how easy that was!!! Ya! Right!!! The winning team, the Blue team, consisting of Fabio, NaOnka, Jane, Purple Kelly and Chase went to Cerro Negro by helicopter. Cerro Negro is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. There, they did a volcano sledding and had a pizza, brownie and pop feast! The losing team went back to camp, only to see their camp and food burned down to ash!!! Whose brainchild was this...to move the fire closer to their shelter??? None other than the nincompoop, Fabio!!!

How about the immunity challenge??? Wow!!! An older lady winning against the healthy, young guys!!! Who am I talking about??? None other than Jane!!! It sure was a physical challenge! I do not know how she did it!! It consist of standing on a small platform over a pool, holding on to a rope and leaning backwards! They have to keep moving down the rope every few minutes!!! She sure has the strength and endurance!!!! A very impressive feat!!! An old lady prevailed against the wimpy, young guys!!! Good for you Jane!!!!

What about the Tribal Council??? Brenda Lowe was a very proud survivor who saw herself in a very big hole!!! Even Sash, her co-conspirator did not save her with his immunity idol!!! Chase, her puppy dog did not save her either!!! Almost everyone voted for Brsnda except Purple Kelly who voted for Benry!!! Oh, ya, baby!!! Purple Kelly is on a league by herself!!!!

Who will be the next one to be eliminated??? Not NaOnka and Sash, who each has an immunity idol!!! Will Chase get the wrath of the survivors for telling Brenda about their plan with her?? How about Dan?? He is sooo quiet, that if he and Jane ends up as the final 2, he might win the million dollars!!!!

Survivor, Nicaragua 09232010

Survivor is here!! If you want to see a lot of action, drama, lying, cheating and women clad in bikinis in raw surroundings... this is your show!!! What do you mean by raw surroundings?? Is it not what it is called, if you are in the jungle, in the open with no beds, no blankets and no luxury items on hand??? I am not sure, but I will use it anyway! Good grief!!! Here she goes again with a new word! Any comments???

The episode this season is in Nicaragua. It seems such a pretty place! The 20 survivors were divided into 2 groups, the old group called Espada, and the young group called La Flor. On the previous episode, Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff, 48, a goat rancher from Fromberg, Montana got booted off!!! Meeeeeeee.....Wendy. The very first survivor to be booted off on this episode!!!!

The second episode showed how the young group is sooo divided, having two or three separate alliances! One alliance consist of NaOnka Mixon,27, PE teacher from Los Angeles, California and Matthew " Sash" Lenahan, 30, a real estate broker from New York, New York. Since they are a minority, they were trying to recruit on their side another minority - Brenda Lowe, 27, paddleboard co-owner from Miami, Florida. It so happened that Brenda is already an ally of Chase Rice, 24,a pro race car jackman from Fairview, North Carolina! Oh, oh, that is not good! The Survivors see Chase and Brenda are really tight that they will try to separate those 2! Then there is an alliance of Alina Wilson, 23, student from Downey, California and Kelly Bruno, 26, a medical student from Durham, California. Wow!!! Kelly B. has an artificial right leg and that did not stop her from joining the Survivor!!!! Go, girl!!!!!

On the othe side, the old fogeys, Holly Hoffman, 44, a swim coach from Eureka, South Dakota did an evil thing to Dan Lembo,63, a real estate executive from Watermill, New York. Holly put sand on Dan's alligator shoes, tied it together and let it sinked in the water!!!!! What a no gooder piece of art!!!! Then she goes in front of everyone to apologize!!!! She is one crazy woman!!! Everyone should steer away from her!!!! There goes your alligator shoes, which I do not think is irreplaceable. Right, Dan??? Wait!!! What is an alligator shoes doing in the middle of a jungle??? Dan, Are you out of your mind to even bring it to Survivor??? Were you trying to show off??? You are really asking for trouble!!!! What do you think it will be? A vacation in a nice place complete with a first class hotel with all amenities???? What were you thinking when you brought your alligator shoes??? Hmmmph.... Show off!!!!

Who won in the immunity challenge?? The object is to collect 4 balls in the barrel by going through mud, unwraping the ball, bouncing the ball in a paddle between 2 people and landing the balls in the barrel. The first tribe to successfully complete the task will get the immunity idol, and hence safe from tribal council. Espada tribe had a medallion which they chose to use, so instead of 4 balls, they need only 3 balls to win!!! Nevertheless, Espada tribe won! They also received a fisherman's parapernalia!!! Since they used the medallion, the medallion was passed to La Flor for the next competition!

La Flor tribe went to the tribal council. Boy! Oh, boy!! The survivors were on each other's throats already!!!! And it is omly day 6!!!! Wow!!!! By a vote of 6-3, Shannon Elkins, 30, a pest control co-owner from Lafayette, Louisiana was sent home! Much to the chagrin of some of his co-survivors, he was non stop in his talking!!!! He was very vocal and very aggressive!!!! Because of this, Brenda was spared!!!! Adios, Shannon. Like your friends said, you should just have kept quiet!!! But you chose to be a blabber mouth!!!! Nenenenene....there goes your chance to win a million dollars!!!!!!
