survivor south pacific episode 8

cocheran is happy about what happened last night at tribal and they hope the move works and lies about wiling to go. ozzy arrives at redemption and tells chrisitne the lie about what happened. the next day the whole tribe is to watch the redemption island duel and upolu are shocked to see ozzy. ozzy continues the lies about what happened last night. the duel is the same as the first one last seaason making a long pole to get keys to open locks winner is back in the game loser is out. both ozzy and christine do different stratgies chrisitne tries first but is not strong enough. ozzy is lucky to get it off the pole but it drops but recovers quicker and gets his second key amd the third to win easy christine isn’t even close to getting one key ozzy wins. ozzy is back in the game and the tribes merge. immediately at the merge camp they find a big feast and start to get along. cocheran immediatlely starts playing double agent but coach realises the plan and counters it using the argument of avoiding going to rocks (the tie breaker). cocheran than spills the beans to uplou about what happened and puts the target on keith probablly. he does return the idol to ozzy. cocheran talks to dawn about flipping which is a big risk and dawn also considers flipping as well. the immunity challenge for the te tuna tribe (the name of the new tribe) the challenge is an endurance challenge with the last man and woman holding onto a coconut between ropes while standing on a pearch. edna is out quickly as is cocheran but they are the only ones out in the first round. whiteny is out third leaving dawn and sophie the last woman left and sophie drops quickly so dawn is safe. coach is next out rick is in trouble but holds on but drops next. jim and keith drop just before the last round starts. brandon is out so its ozzy v albert. ozzy looks in trouble but its albert who drops so ozzy wins immunity. giving savaii the advantage in a possible rock draw. jim is quite happy with the outcome originally savaii want to vote sophie or rick (they go with the later). as for the idol they consider playing it on whitney on jims advice. but cocheran leaks the plan to upolu. sophie feels confident that cocheran will flip. dawn decides not to flip and tells cocheran. so cocheran is nervous. dawn doesn’t tell savaii that cocheran is considering flipping. at tribal coach says that a tie might happen. ozzy says it is down to fate. meaning the odds would be one in eight as a tie breaker the vote receivers immune. edna says there is a reason to flip about there position. albert reveals that the concensus is they weren’t telling the truth sophie agreed. ozzy says his tribe has the idol and will play it tonight. in the end ozzy wastes his idol on whitney and its a 6-6 tie between keith and rick. on the revote cocheran flips sending keith to redemption 6-4.

semhar is upset to be at redemption island and isn’t confident. at savaii they are happy to be through tribal and hope they don’t have to go again for a while cocheran knows he needs to change his strategy. ozzy still thinks cocheran will probably go next. ozzy and keith bond quickly and form an allinace. coach adds edna to the majority alliance as a personal 6th and wants to target christine for the vote. cocheran tries to redem himself as a worker. ozzy looks for the hidden immunity idol and finds it after not looking too long and wants redemption with his idol. brandon talks to coach about his secret of being russells nephew which makes coach upset. meanwhile the strong guys are fishing on form an alliance (jim, keith and ozzy) with whitney and elyse as the plus two. brandon is quite upset with mikayla for some reason as she is quite strong but is weak in the social game and brandon won’t be comfortable with her around. christine is still looking for the idol or the clue and stacy says she wasn’t told by her. but christine can’t find it. the challenge is untangling keys and than get the other four tribe members to than do a heavy puzzle first tribe to finish wins immunity and comfort and a clue to the idol. upolu sit out edna. the challenge is quite tricky to untie savaii start behind as cocheran gets caught up as upolu lead early as dawn needs to pick up the pace but gives the job to elyse as upolu start on the puzzle. savai make up a lot of time on the puzzle and win the challenge from behind. the clue to the idol is part of the reward but is not needed as ozzy has it. brandon wants mikayla out still christine is worried about going home and is worried its her. coach wants to split the vote 3-3 between christine and stacy but brandon wants mikayla out and tells coach comparing her to parvati. sophie disagrees about voting mikayla out. coach says christine shoudl still be the vote. christine knows she is in trouble but wants edna out but brandon gives her hope by suggesting mikayla. at tribal brandon says he thinks he made a good first impression coach says his first impression was bad but made up for it and outs christine and stacy for suggesting mikayla (brandon was the real one). mikayla was worried about that. stacy denies it and says its a lie and brandon comes out with it. after a long argument quesitoning coachs integrity. in the end christine is voted out 4-3-1-1 (the majority and mikayla split the vote while christine and stacy don’t vote together). stacy gets 3 votes sophie and edna one each.

next time papabear makes a fake idol to avoid being voted out but will it succeed.

survivor south pacific episode 1

16 new players arrive in samoa they will be joined by two returning players. they are already split into two tribes.

savaii semhar, mark “papa bear”, eleyse, keith, jim, dawn, whitney and john “cocheran”

upolu christine, stacy, mikyala, edna, brandon (russell hants nephew), rick, albert, sophie.

they are joined by coach and ozzy with redemption island back in play. we hear from some of the players and find out cocheran is not only a super fan but has written an essay on the show. the new players arrive first and than are joined by coach and ozzy (before they find out they say hope its not russell which supprises brandon) some of the tribe are excited for ozzy but not for coach. christine makes the mistake of saying they will be tempoary players. cocheran insists on being called that. ozzy joins savaii while coach joins upolu. coach is worried about christine already. the game starts on redemption island arena acctually. the first challenge is ozzy v coach on a puzzle after climbing to the top of a 12 foot pole the puzzle is transfering a pyrmaid puzzle the reweard is tarot (which is the equilivant of potatoes) and flint. ozzy is better on the pole the tribes help with instructions but can’t physically help as ozzy leads but its close to the puzzle. you can only move one at a time and small on top of big only. both tribes help them but ozzy wins the challenge for savaii. and no one is happy with coach on the tribe and don’t help him get his stuff to go to camp or check hes ok except edna. on savaii ozzy knows his experience will help. semhar is a bit weird already doing poetry but ozzy wants to align with her. while the tribe swim cocheran doesn’t want to and feels on the outs. coach is not happy already when they arrive at camp and tries to tell his tribe not to think he is a threat. upolu work well at camp though but only really edna thinks coach could be an asset while christine looks for the idol. coach wants christine out first. we find out jim does maijuna dispensing. papa bear is gay. dawn is worried about the young people as well and not working. brandon shows his tribe one of his tattos while mikayla impresses the tribe with her strength. coach, brandon, albert, sophie and rick form an alliance on the beach at night. dawn is feeling quite down at this point on day 2 and on the outs ozzy chears her up a little bit and keeps her in the game. while cocheran tries to provide for the tribe. brandon wants to do well at the social game and provide food. the first immunity challenge is an obstacle course involving zigzaging path ways and than through a wall and dig up a machete getting coconuts which 3 must launch into their basket first to finish wins immunity as well as a clue to the idol and for upolu flint. it is a very close challenge all the way through but upolu lead a little bit at this point. cocheran had trouble as rick digs up the machete although ozzy makes up time. upolu lead into the shooting it is ozzy, semhar and keith v albert, mikayla (who does well) and brandon. semhar wants to give up on the challenge upolu win just by one coconut. semhar doesn’t help her case saying she feels sort of bad. jim wants semhar gone but ozzy wants cocheran gone. christine looks for the clue but can’t find the idol neither can stacy. semhar and jim get into an argument back at camp which doesn’t help her case. the vote is between semhar and cocheran but not certain which will go. they talk about redemption island at tribal dawn says she lost a lot of confidence. eleyse says semhar is concerned due to the challenge. whitney says its good to have the attention off her. dawn also says cocheran could be a target. in the end semhar is voted out 8-1 over cocheran and is sent to redemption island.

next time coach recurits edna to his alliance brandon is annoyed at mikayla over nothing and an idol is found.

survivor redemption island episode 14 season finale

after tribal at redemption they are supprised to see grant (who is upset at the outcome) andrea is worried about the fact it is 3 strong guys against her in the final duel. at camp things are a little better and they are happy to be still in the game. rob considers getting rid of ashley a bigger priority than the people on redemption except grant. treemail indicates a final duel and they need to dig deep. the last duel is an endurance challenge which is trying to keep a vase intact for the longest last person left wins there way back the rest join the jury. the challenge goes quite a bit before anyone drops out after 20 minutes grant stants to wobble but recovers so does mike. after 40 minutes grant drops out first after an hour the other 3 are still strong andrea stretches it out but recovers but matt is out. leading to mike v andrea showdown both recover once in a difficult battle. and mike loses getting andrea back in the game. andreaas upset win gets her back in the game into the final 5. rob still wants to vote ashley out next. andrea says its odd to be back at camp and doesn’t feel welcome saying the guys are the biggest threats for jury votes. and wants phillip out. phillip reveals the plan to rob that the girls are talking about. the final 5 immunity challenge is racing out to get numbers from a ballance beam and than put them in order first to 100 wins immunity and a spot in the final 4. the ballance beam is tricky but everyone gets it though rob and ashley start well with andrea close and they continue to lead on the second bag. natalie and phillip are behind again but not as far out of it as normal. ashley still leads into the last bag. asley narrowly beats rob to win immunity. andrea says the plan is to vote out rob but needs the girls to do it. ashley wishes it was tomarrows challenge the tribe plans to vote andrea out and he even says it openly. rob doesn’t think he needs to use the idol. ashley is worried about phillip replacing her in the final 3 but natalie reasures her. rob and phillip openly talk in front of andrea about plans so she works on the girls. at tribal phillip continues to annoy people. rob says he asked phillip to keep an eye out of things. andrea says its tempting to take out rob. rob makes the case to take out andrea. in the end rob plays his idol negating andreas vote and sending her to the jury 4-0. the final immunity challenge is a big maze getting four bags of puzzle pieces and than solve a word phrase. the maze is quite complicated. natalie and phillip are again not doing much (but phillip is better than usual). phillip starts ok but rob and ashley are slightly ahead. rob tries to lose ashley but doesn’t work and they are neck and neck as phillip is lost. its close between rob and ashley all the challenge as natalie is out of it. it comes down to the word phrase. natalie only has one bag at this point. the phrase is quite tricky though the phrse is “only you are safe” and rob barely beats ashley and moves into the final 3. the vote is between ashley and phillip rob tells them both they are safe. rob decides to vote out ashley because of friends on the jury. natalie conisders a tie but it will be risky. ashley feels it was a bummer to lose the challenge. natalie hopes rob stays loyal. in the end ashley is voted out 3-1 over phillip. on day 39 they are releaved to be at the end. natalie is quite happy at 19 to be at the end. rob gives pointers to natalie for the jury questioning but they are really just how he wants her to think. phillip burns his famous shorts before the final tribal. in opening speeches natalie says she played the best game she could and her social skills. phillip says his strategy didn’t work his original one but he had to rethink. rob says he was lucky to be on omtepe at the start but said he did the best he could. the jury starts with andrea who says phillip is weird and his different personalitties and doesn’t answer the question. she says natalies relation with rob and says it was not about friendships and makes a mistake. ashley doesn’t want to hear from phillip but he won’t be quiet she thanks him though for teaching her how to be patient she asks natalie about the blindside she says it was a bigger threa she doesn’t know about rob or wants to do. grant asks natalie about the blindside of him rob says she always asked what to do. ralph says natalie doesn’t do anything on her own. matt says rob is a liar and where he draws the line. julie says they shouldn’t be proud esepcilaly natalie. mike says he enjoyed the experience but doesn’t have much of a question. steve says natalie did well for her age. david gives a weird speech in favour of rob to the jury saying that the others don’t deserve it and says he controlled the game. the jury votes ralph votes for phillip but everyone else votes for rob giving him the million 8-1-0. next up the reunion where rob is congruatlated for winning on his fourth attempt his goal was for everoyne to play with him he mentions kristina finding an idol without a clue early turned the tempo up. the girls say that they knew they couldn’t get rid of rob because of the idol. andrea says she learned that you have to check with everyone. natalie defends her strategy and julie has regrets for her comments. we find out that rob and grants friendship is over at this point. matt talks about his faith. andrea says there is no love interest between her and matt. russell congratulates rob for his game he is asked about throwing the challenge which he doesn’t think is fair and says there is a worry russell says they should keep his number. we hear more about phillips story and from a lady friend of his its not clear if he is an agent. the fanfavourite award is between rob and matt and rob wins 40-36 percent. we also have a wedding proposal from david to carolina (from survivor tocantins) which she says yes. they than preview survivor south pacific which will feature

(leaving mike the last zapatera left). rob is getting worried about redemption island effecting things. the food is running low leading to an argument lead by phillip while rob and grant want ashley out. phillip says the girls don’t need to eat which is not true and leads to a big fight. rob has to defend phillips strategy and to vote out ashley. ashley is worried about how close natalie and rob are but wants to blindside grant but rob is opposed. treemail is confusing. the challenge is for immunity and reward of using fish hooks to grab puzzle pieces and than solve a fish skelton puzzle. the reward is room service. grant starts well while natalie struggles. rob is supprisingly behind phillip takes the lead briefly as natalie is last as ashley has trouble. but ashley makes up time quickly as the order except natalie in last keeps changing. ashley takes the lead just ahead of grant and phillip. natalie is miles behind as rob finishes the second section. ashley has a good lead as natalie stops trying. in the end aslhey wins immunity and reward just ahead of rob. ashley shares the reward with natalie. rob is disappointed ashley won so the plan is grant. they agree for grant to vote natalie as a threat due to her closeness to ashley. at tribal ashley is quite happy to have immunity and she is proud to have it. rob knows he is vulnerable but knows grant is a bigger threat. they discuss the closeness of them. natalie is worried as a result. rob says his family is his reason for playing. in the end grant is blindsided 4-1 over natalie sent to redemption.

next time finale time someone returns from redemption is rob stoppable can ashleys run continue of immunities and what about matts fairytale run on redemption or mikes.

Review sporting globe sudney dinner

Today I’m writing of a pub that I had dinner at. The place is quite interesting with a tv at each booth although the channels are limited. It can get quite noisy. Now to the important bit the food the parmi was a bit spicy but still tasted good the chips where quite nice. It is an interesting place to go and on the waterfront can be quite beautiful but not good if you don’t like spicy food 7/10

next time phillip and ralph say too much and can russell stay in the game on redemption against a supprise oponent for him.

next time someone shakes hands with the other tribe someone beats russell at his own game and phillip is still crazy.

voted fabio out. at tribal fabio is exicted to have immunity and the others should be worried and have to give their case. he explains all their cases and sash says he has had many alliances and is

their case. chase goes first at final tribal thanking them for playing with him and looks forward to all the questions and admits to his problems with his game. fabio says he enjoyed each one of the jury and his strategy was to be himself. sash says he is proud of how he played the game and played differently to them and says it comes down to strategy. and he says his friendships where more important than the alliances. brenda goes first and says she enjoyed playing with sash but says being a backstabber could be a problem with the jury but says it was part of strategy she says to chase about the emotional attachment and says it was supprising the blindside but he admited to loyality and revealing what happened. brenda tells sash that he could have given the idol. marty says there are good reasons for the final 3 to be there he asks chase who is the dumbest person he can pick anyone in the room other than marty (which is not that fair as he is the answer is chases opinion) sash is said as a smart player he says fabio has grown the most. holly asks chase the best strategical move on his own. he says it was voting out shannon as it was about trust. she asks fabio about his immunity wins where too litttle to late fabio thinks it wasn’t. sash says he lied to her last night by voting for each other. jane asks sash first and calls him a river rat and other things that aren’t fair (fabio laughs). chase was called for being fun chase wants to use the money for hunt the cure for cancer and care for his mum fabio wants to take care of his mum and dad. benry congratulates them and has no question for chase and congrats fabio on his immunity wins, sash says to a question about trying to take him out. dan tells sash that he is a liar and a phony, he calls chase paranoid and he owns up to it but it doesn’t help the situation. kelly says they stuck in when she couldn’t she asks sash about outwiting everyone he admits it was making many alliances and hurt many people (kelly wasn’t expecting the answer). naonka says she was close to them it was a pleasure fabio says family matters the most. alina says fabio is the surfer dude but doesn’t want to give a million dollars she asks sash to explain his strategy or why to vote. sash says he wasn’t in on everyvote and calls chase wishywashy. alina is supprised by chases strategy but he claims about playing with people he trust and it did hurt him the game after an argument between fabio and chase. the jury votes. marty votes for fabio to win alina supprisingly votes for chase (considering she is the only one not close to him to vote for him). in the end sash gets no votes in a close battle fabio gets (marty, naonka, kelly benry and dans votes) to win over chase who gets (brenda, alina, holly and janes) votes in a controversal win due to the quitters making the difference in the end. chase is stunned when he is ahead in the count but isn’t supprised to fall short. fabio is the youngest win at the time. at the reunion a lot of people are happy at fabios victory. fabio says the name stuck (he was jud before the show) they ask about him being a goofball he says his family is quite artistic he is a model outside of the show. chase was asked about his strategy of being wishy/washy which is not the best way and they ask about the attraction with brenda but they are just good friends. sash is asked about the fact his game crumbled when he lost brenda, naonka and kelly. he heard that brenda told naonka a big plan to take out sash eventually she knew she wouldn’t get the idol she didn’t want to scramble either because of the trust. jeff apologies to sash who he thought would be the first out not a finalist. chase’s dream appartently is to go play music in nashvile and than sings a song at the reunion show. we talk to jimmy j is asked about how tough it is and he says the conditions where the problems and said they held up better at 67 (3rd oldest player in the shows history i think) he is a big fan of the show and really wanted to do it and survivor saved his life during the physicals due to blocked artiries but got it fixed and enjoyed the experience we also hear from a famous gridiron (american football) person terry bradshaw. we also hear from holly about dans shoes which she burried because of jealously she presents dan new shoes as an apology. dan talks a lot about his money but says he is ok. jane is called one of the most popular this season and is stunned at how fit she is at her age and admited to learning fire because of what jeff said they also ask about the amnosity with marty she said it was because of the fluff off due to over playing early. they aren’t friends now. they talk to naonka as the seasons villian she wasn’t sure how she’d act as her strategy made her look a villian she admited she thought it was because of the leg incident due to the fact that she was just another competitor kelly b says it was fair. naonka says her job security was threatened but it’s a reality show and nothing to do with her real life she said she had enough is why she quit. naonkas mum is not supprised at her daughters effort and encouraged her to play like that a bit. in the future jury people can be removed if they quit in the jury phase. the fanfavourite award by the biggest margin and most votes jane wins it. shannon won’t apologise for his comments about sash. wendy says her husband was stunned the reason she was first off. jimmy t explains his experience in a weird way. alina loved being in the game. we find out that boston rob and amber have had a 2nd baby (which is barely relevant to the show). the next season is redemption island which is a chance to comeback after being voted out without much of a preview though. they use cirie and rupert as examples (who are in the audience) of how it works.

next time rob and russell are back and 16 new players including one of my most hated ever battle it out for the money.

the affs new broacast deal is not good for the game as it has a lot more thursday night games and no saturday free to air games as they focus on foxtel. more ana flights to sydney which is good but with the border mostly shut not sure if it will be profortable. indistury leaders supporting alan joyce is the wrong thing as his job has not been tenable for over a decade now due to mistreatment of workers and the way he has treated costumers recently. rex has been crowned airline of the year in australia. fuel retailers shouldn’t raise prices too much and are being watched there prices. the idea of banning phones at school for students is a great idea as they are a big distraction and can lead to a lot of bullying if not policed. the aviation watchdog should be more concerned about qantas on safety. i think any bussiness that have mistreated workers pre-pandemic should not be allowed to be part of a classaction against the lockdowns that tried to keep us safe.

amazing race 21 episode 3

9 teams stay in indonesia leaving surabaya for antika java padang resturant and the clue indicates a u-turn ahead. the lead teams are a bit lost finding taxis so they work together. no one is having any luck with taxis but find some eventually. josh/brent think there are the alpha teams and the other teams who will win if they do their best. its a little easier getting cabs now. the clue at the resturant is a roadblock of serving 20 plates of food all at once ballancing them if they drop any they must try again. lexi takes the roadblock in the lead. natalie/nadiya are a bit lost. brent, jaymes and ryan take the roadblock. caitlin/britany are worried about the emotions coming out. lexi drops some the first time. jaymes appartently had his first job at a pancake house. ryan and jaymes do a lot better early brent fails though. jaymes/james and abbie/ryan get the clue quickly sending them to a train station to take a train to bangil. james/abba also pass natalie/nadiya while lexi finishes. as does james/abba and josh/brent putting natalie/nadiya dropping 1st to 6th quickly. the next train to bangil is 736am and the lead 5 teams make it as the all-girl teams struggle natalie is doing the task. gary/will are only just leaving the previous pitstop but are worried about being at the back of the pack. natalie/nadiya finish still in 6th as rob takes teh roadblock. brittany finishes 7th and rob finishes before gary/will even get there. at the train station the lead 5 teams board the train but natalie/nadiya just miss it the next train isn’t for a while putting them over 3 hours behind as its not till 1055am. so the lead teams decide not to u-turn each other at this point as they are at the front of the pack but some are worried that james/abba will u-turn someone. the clue on the train is the detour “egg head” requires teams to have their head lit on fire to cook some eggs which is disgusting and dangerous. “lions head” requires teams to join a japanese procession in a costume and parade while stopping to preform some steps. most teams choose lions head except josh/brent at the front of the pack. the lead teams get to bangil and get into rickshaws. the carnival is quite interesting where they do the detour. the lions head where quite heavy but teams don’t struggle much. the procession isn’t impossible while josh/brent start the egg task. abbie/ryan are 1st to finish the detour sending them to a confusing street where the u-turn is. jaymes/james are 2nd trey/lexi are 3rd and james/abba 4th all close. the teams finally board the 2nd train and are worried about being at the back of the pack. no one at the front of the pack use the u-turn its a blind u-turn so its annyomous the pitstop is a high school in bungil. where abbie/ryan finish 1st at the pitstop in a close race ahead of trey/lei winning a trip to fiji isles. a footrace for 3rd sees jaymes/james get it. josh/brent don’t u-turn and finish 5th before the 2nd train arrives. the 2nd train teams choose lions head mostly as gary/will fall behind due to being at the back of the train. money issues hurt the trailing teams. natalie/nadiya are 6th to finish the detour ahead of rob/kelly but not by much. natalie/nadiya don’t u-turn but rob/kelly u-trun gary/will (which is a failsafe if they fall any further behind). caitlin/brittany get the clue to the u-turn ahead of gary/will but the girls get very lost with a bad rickshaw. gary/will waste the u-turn on rob/kelly (who where the team who u-turned them). caitlin/britany are way off course though finding the egg detour very lost and get back into a rickshaw (appartently they ended up also at the pitstop at some point as well during this time). caitlin/britany are very lost with their rickshaw leading to a close race against the guys and the girls are eliminated.
