I cannot believe I missed Survivor again this week and just realized it today. Wednesday is a VERY busy night for my DVR and there are multiple shows I have to juggle. I’ll be glad when RHOBH is over. That said the next four weeks are going to be fire. Plus there was a lot of Breaking News to report on Wednesday. I can’t do an in depth Survivor 41 recap via DVR, my DVR doesn’t let me pause much so I’ll have to back up a lot and still don’t know everyone’s name. Some people on Twitter are complaining about the format. They don’t like all the new three part idol. I don’t mind it but I hate that Xander is in jeopardy until the other two idols are found.
Yase (Yellow Tribe)
Tiffany, Liana, Evvie, Xander
Liana works on the fire late at night and and does not see the new “dangerous new advantage’ sitting in plain sight. She goes to bed and Tiffany finds it the next day and shows it to Evvie. It says DANGER this is an advantage but if you win you have to do everything the clue tells you otherwise leave it.
UA Tribe (Green)
Genie, Shantel (Shan), Brad, Jairus, (who will apparently be going by JD) and Ricard.

On the Green tribe Brad finds the advantage. They have sneak out of the tribe in the middle of the night and get on the boat. And make a decision. JD is still searching for the idol. Brad found the idol. And Genie caught him but they are allies. Then, Brad tells Shan he has the idol. I do not understand these people blabbing about their idols and advantages.
Luvu Tribe (Blue)
The tribe is Deshawn, Sydney, Danny, Naseer, Heather, and Erika
Sydney found third advantage. So the three advantage holders go to the island. They have to decide between “steal a vote” and “tarp.” If they all three choose tarp they all get a tarp. If they all three choose “steal a vote” they all go back with nothing. Brad is totally picking steal a vote. Tiffany sort of seems to lean toward steal a vote. Sidney doesn’t want to leave with nothing so she is leaning toward tarp. They will not know until tree mail comes again what they won. Only Brad got the steal a vote. Tiffany went for the tarp.

The Immunity Challenge
At the Immunity Challenge, Xander and Brad say their dumb phrases. But Luvu has not said their phrase yet because no one has found it. Once again Tiffany sucks at the tight rope challenge. But she made it. Luvu won (due to Deshawn) and Yase FINALLY escapes tribal council due to Xander coming in second. UA the green team will head to tribal council. I’m worried about Brad. Genie is pissed and Shan is worried Brad has too much power. Brad wants to get out JD. But, Brad doesn’t have a vote. But JD does have an extra vote. Why is Shan so pissed he didn’t tell them about his advantage. Why do they keep saying they can’t trust JD and Brad. You can’t trust anyone in this game. JD gave Shan his advantage because he is an idiot. Apparently, the decision is up to Shan.

It’s Tribal Time For AU
I was hoping for an explanation about the last tribal council by Yase this week. But we did not. JD is making a heartfelt plea. Shan is probably going to vote out Brad. What does that do to the three part immunity? Will the other two who find it lose their votes for the rest of the game? Yep. Brad is walking out with the three part idol and the new advantage. I hate/love this show.
I hated to see Brad go, JD does not make great decisions! I also have been wondering about the idol situation. Am not really loving this new twist, to be honest. Does anyone else find Tiffany to be annoying or is it just me?
She was one of my favorites going in. Then I saw her gameplay. And she is way too comfortable in the game in relation to her game play.
I loved Brad as well. He walked away blindsided and upset. Did not turn around to say goodbye and I do not blame him.
Tiffany is indeed annoying.
They changed the Game soo much and I am trying to understand what is going on, because I am confused at this point.
I do not believe Shan is an actual Pastor. She is mean spirited and lies come way too easily for her. She had no reason to blindside Brad as he was such a sweet naïve soul who probably would have done anything for her.
Just because she hums an stupid little song does not men she is some paragon for good. I can’t wait to see her arrogant ass bounced after the merge.
I have news for you. ANY ONE ANYONE! Can pretend to be a “Pastor” mine was child molester. Not to me. I was already molested by my grandfather. Donald Trump could claim to be a pastor here. so um good point?
Oh and my choral director was fired for going to glory holes. (google it if you don’t know what that is). It really fucked me up for my whole life. But none of them molested me other than my grandfather that my mother kept making me give him presents. And SHE KNEW. Sorry for the overshare but that is why I am so fucked up.
Not a fan of Tiffany. She is terrible at challenges and thinks she is doing great. If it wasn’t for the “girl’s alliance” in episode one, she would and should have been voted off. FYI: I know several people who know her
Do tell Bobbi. Is Tiffany liked in the real world? I can’t stand her on the show because she is too cocky for not being able to pull her weight in the competitions.
I am loving Xander. I see butterflies and think they are my dead relatives. hahaha. He will forever be known by that phrase. Brad saying his broccoli line was cringy. Genie needs to be careful kicking the bench after the loss because she could break a toe. Wow, she was mad.
I’m not loving this season because I feel I can’t form a real bond with anyone because I can’t remember their names and we aren’t seeing much of the blue tribe. I don’t want to know their backstories and see the clips of them in their life. I don’t want Jeff talking to me thru the tv. I absolutely hate it that Xander can’t vote until the other 2 tribes find the idol too. He is screwed. I also don’t like the twist of people going to the island and having to choose between something for the tribe or an extra vote.
I am told that what you see is it.. take it from that
I will take it as she is awesome to have as a friend. I would definitely drink wine with her and laugh about husbands, kids and life. I’m not loving her on the show but I do like her profile.
The only way I see the triple idol working is for Brad’s to go back out in his tribe’s camp. And for the idols to kick in, They must be say the three phrases at the same tribal council. Which means Xander is going to have to say his quote a few more times.
This new “twist” reeks of all the failed “expect the unexpected” crap on Big Brother that never works out.
They filmed the next season immediately after this season filmed so i have a feeling we’re stuck with it next season as well.
I don’t hate the format, it’s just taking some getting used to. The main problem I have with this season is the lack of chyrons.
i am actually fine with the 3 part alliance, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the next show. I didnt like the one where they are choosing between a tarp and an extra vote, TWO three part collaborations is too much for me. If it keeps up this way they are going to have to merge soon, maybe to two teams. They dont have as much time this season, and everything is amped up.
I dont have a favorite person yet, they need to do more throughout the season, I will check back in about 4 weeks with my choice!
This is a very short season, so we will likely be down to one tribe by then.
I have watched every single episode of every single year but so far I am not loving this season. I can’t keep it straight. Danger if you open this, lose your vote, get an extra vote, people sneaking out at night and if everyone votes one way they get one thing but if someone votes differently they don’t and no one knows until days later when a tarp will magically appear? Having to figure out a way to work in a stupid saying at every challenge and you can’t vote until all three tribes say their stupid saying? My hubby and I are constantly pausing the show and trying to work out what the heck is going on. I don’t want to work this hard to be entertained.
I so agree. So many advantages, disadvantages, yes if one does something, no if one or two don’t. Way too convoluted.
And who isn’t going to open a clue? The danger only open if…. Sometimes they are so excited they don’t even read the danger part until after they opened it.
I guess I’m too old for this show. I can’t keep up with all the twists. I really need the chryon thingy to have peoples’ names, the tribes and the elapsed times on the challenges. There are too many twists, so fast paced that I forget what happens within a weeks time before the next episode is out. That said, I won’t give up on Survivor. Tiffany annoys me too, the rest I’m not invested in because I can’t remember their names or what happened, lol. I’m grateful for the recap! I need it to remind me what happened! I might just have to save all the rest of the episodes and binge it before the finale because, can’t remember shit. I think it’s too fast paced and brutal to pull for the old people anymore, which makes me sad. As they say, the only constant in life is change. Sigh :/
I try to put who is in each tribe on my recaps with the tribe names . Then, I pull up the previous recap to remind myself about the name choices while I am trying to THINK REALLY HARD during the new recap. LOL. Glad to know it is not just me.
It’s definitely not just you, TT! Ordinary life is getting convoluted as I get older – I don’t want to have to work so hard for my viewing pleasure! 😂😂😂
Normally when a person is voted out with an idol or advantage it is rehidden at their camp
Yeah. That has to happen for the triple idol. Not sure about the extra vote.
I love survivor but normally I miss the first half. I will binge it on demand then follow through for the second half. Since you blog about it I may follow along to talk about it.
I was so upset when Voce was voted out last week. It is so early and they are going to get rid of their physical players to have Tiffany who really offers nothing to the team. I really like Genie and Xander. At the beginning I enjoyed some of the others but most of them are doing the opposite of growing on me.
I feel like I don’t know the blue team because we don’t see them talk much game. I am on the fence about Naseer he seems like a good player but his allies aren’t feeling him. So I empathize with him but on the other hand he is up at 3am trying to plot against other members.
Am I the only one that felt like “Come on in guys” was fine? Obviously there are always women so it wasn’t a gendered statement. I get trying to be more accepting and welcoming but I just don’t think guys was referring to males in this instance.
JD’s time was numbered. Sad to see him go but knew it was coming.
Tiffany now… I don’t get how she is still around and why she feels she is such a vital asset to her team. Her comment about her significant contributions to the competitions just about made me fall out of my chair! She struggles through them aa Jeff yells encouragement to her. Then feels all proud of herself when she hauls herself over the finish line. SMDH.
