It’s Wednesday night! And I could not be happier! With RHOBH and RHOC not airing yet, all I have to do tonight is a Survivor Recap! I am so happy I can just hang with the Survivor plans this week and not feel so rushed to do the recap and enjoy the show! It’s the little things, people. Tonight episode guide says that one survivor get attacked by the rest of them for “playing a dishonest game.” WTF? The whole point of the game is to be dishonest. Outlast, Outplay, Outwit! Don’t hate the player hate the game! They are all playing in their own best interest. I’m still irritated with DeShawn (?) for outing Evvie for giving him a heads up about her tribe when they were on the Island of Misfortune or whatever it is called! Let’s get into this new episode!
Evvie Sees A Benefit To All The Chaos
It’s the night of day sixteen meaning there are only nine days left. How the heck is this going to work? Deshawn is pissed at Heather for screwing up the tribal council plan last week. I DESPISE Heather because she tried to get out my boyfriend, Naseer, last week. Deshawn is also all the way over Shan and she is over him as well. This group of young-uns sure does now how to have a very messy, and good for TV Tribal. Deshawn is sick of letting Shan dictating to everyone how they have to vote. Meanwhile, Evvie who has nobody at the moment is thrilled that so many people are looking for a new team to work with.

However, the next morning, everyone gets up together to watch a beautiful sunrise. And they seem… fine? Jesus, Deshawn and Shan sort of repair their relationship. Shan doesn’t want to be perceived as telling everyone what to do. Then perhaps don’t do it. Then she says that Erika and Heather are dangerous? Sweet little Erika that you fucknuts sent off to be alone on an island four a day or two? Heather who I have no idea who she even is and hasn’t done a damn thing to draw attention to herself? What is wrong with Shan? She thinks Erika is a mastermind? What next Heather is a triathlete? Nothing out of Shan’s mouth makes sense. Is it just me? Apparently, not. Because, Deshawn points out that Shan went right back to telling him what to do.
Team Assholes
FINALLY! Deshawn sees that Evvie reached out to him on the Isle of Misfit Soldiers or whatever. I guess that immunity win bought her some street cred. He is playing the middle but he and Evvie both promise to never write the other’s name down. Oh! My boyfriend Naseer, would like a word with Heather. LOL. But my boyfriend is kinder than me and he tells her that yesterday is in the past. She wrote his name down and it is in the past and he is ready to move on. She denies writing his name down. No, it was actually worse, she went to everyone and whispered in their ear to vote out Naseer. It was actually Xander who wrote his name down. He says that he doesn’t believe anything she says.

We learn that Ricard is deaf in his right ear. I love that he can read lips (I kind of can too because I have bit of hearing loss) I rely heavily on lip reading in most situations as sort of a boost to my hearing. That said, he is on Team Assholes. Speaking of which, Team Assholes, Ricard, Shan, Deshawn and Danny say, right in front of Xander and Erika. They need to go talk as a four. Of course is was Asshole In Chief, Shan who said that. Liana also joins in and Danny says this is the final five, right here. NOPE. The Cookout you are not. They debate whether to send Xander or Erika home this week. Why is Shan coming so hard for Erika? She always comes for the females.
It’s Challenge Time!
Ah! now I see how they are going to lose enough people in the next eight days. It’s a double tribal. There will be two random groups and two immunities, two tribal councils, and two people going home. The two tribes will be random. It’s also immunity. The last person standing wins chicken and beef stew for their group/temporary tribe. Ugh, Erika is on the yellow team with Shan and Ricard, Naseer and Heather. Naseer and Erika are in trouble. I need Naseer to win this immunity. The blue team is Deshawn, Evvie, Lianna, Xander and Danny. I need Xander to win. Evvie is first to drop. That’s weird because she won a similar challenge last week. Heather, Liana, and Shan drop next. My boyfriend, Naseer starts shit talking, “I can do this for two hours.” Erika says, “Let’s do it!” You go girl!” Mind over matter!

Danny and Richard fall. Then Naseer falls because he can’t feel his right hand! ERIKA HAS IMMUNITY! It’s down to Xander and Deshawn. Xander looks like he could do this all day. Liana is trashing Xander to Evvie, “Look at his face! I hate his face!” What the hell is wrong with her? Oh no! Xander is struggling. I keep thinking about how ironic it would be if two Xanders one this year on Survivor and Big Brother! Deshawn falls! I love him even if he is KIND OF on TEAM ASSHOLES. XANDER WINS! Xander goes over to try to hug it out with Deshawn but neither of them can really move their arms. It was still a sweet moment. Plus, Deshawn is totally open to being stolen away from Team Assholes. I love Shan’s stank face when Jeff gives Erika her immunity necklace.
Both Teams Try To Agree On Who Goes
The teams are sent to separate camps. Liana hates Xander too. So she gotstah go. Xander’s camp gets to chow down on chicken and beef stew and celebrates. Xander and Evvie want to take out Liana. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. Since there are three members of the Asshole Alliance, Danny tells DeShawn, it’s a simple vote, take out Evvie. Problem solved. But I am so hopeful that Deshawn who isn’t really an asshole will flip. Xander tells Liana that he is considering playing his idol for Evvie. LOL. I love Xander. He won’t do it. But now the Asshole Alliance is nervous. Liana, bitch that she is, once again asks Xander to hold on to his idol until after tribal. Is she crazy? Danny wants to vote out Evvie. And Xander is considering playing his idol for her.

Back at the other camp, Shan has an idol and an extra vote. I hope she goes home with both in her pocket. Naseer also has an idol. Naseer tells Heather she is going home. Oh, I may need to break up with Naseer. He probably needs to play his idol tonight. Erika is tight with Heather for some dumb reason and doesn’t want her to go. I don’t care one way or another about Heather. And she did stab Naseer in the back last week. So there’s that. But I think THEY NEED TO GET RID OF SHAN! Why is Erika against Naseer? These are two of my favorite players and I need them to work together! Why is Naseer being so nice to fucking Heather! SEND.SHAN.HOME. At least Shan, wants to get Heather out.
Let The Tribal Councils Begin
First up is the Heather and Naseer tribal. I hope Naseer plays his idol. Heather gives a sob story. If Naseer gives his idol to Heather, I will be furious and he will be headed to the Ponderosa. He actually voted for Heather and thinks she is going home. So he is probably going to leave with an idol in his pocket. This team apparently has six players. It is a tie. Can Naseer play his idol now? I guess not. And he is voted out. Can someone tell me who this is in the yellow checked shirt and why is she at trial council? Is that Tiffany? Are they letting the voted off people go to tribal this season? I will miss my boyfriend. These players are fools.

Oh yeah, Jeff just told Naseer to take a seat on the jury next to Tiffany. Time for the next group. DeShawn gives the titular phrase about what the plans are tonight. He says, “It’s time to find out who’s who in the zoo!” I really want Liana to go home. This cast seems to have a lot more clothes than most. I know that Survivor chooses and buys there clothes but Evvie has a least three shirt and everyone else has at least two. On earlier season, you got one outfit, one swimsuit and that was it. God I hope DeShawn votes out Liana. Someone need to go home that I hate. Xander doesn’t play his idol on Evvie. I hope that is because DeShawn pledged his vote. FUCK! Evvie is voted out.
It looks like next week, Shan wants to take out Deshawn. SEE DUDE? You needed to vote out Liana and dismantle her Asshole Army!
I will add the Ponderosa youtube to this post once it comes up.
I’m trying to remember the last time I watched Survivor. I just don’t know if I could do that myself, and it’s been one of those shows I’ve had a hard time commiting myself to watch.
At least I can come here and get some sort of clue on what’s happening. As always – thanks, Tamara!
Even though, the guy that I am cheating on you with (um sorry) he could do lots of stuff and keep us alive in any environment got voted off, it was a REALLY GOOD episode. It took me like over two hours to recap because with no RHOBH I had the time and kept watching scenes again and again. There are some evil people on this show and Shan, “the pastor” is just like Mary from RHOSLC. Delusional, bossy and a total cunt.
I absolutely loathe Shan and Liana, I was so hoping Xander’s plan to get Liana out would work. Sadly, these idiots wouldn’t go along. What the hell are these dummies thinking? I’m sorry your boyfriend went to jury – especially with an idol in his pocket. I was sad to see Evvie go too. Liana really has a pet hate for Xander, doesn’t she? I will be VERY upset if Xander gets voted out, especially if it’s before Liana!
I’m going to miss Evvie, but happy to see my favorite, Xander, is killing it. Liana talking about how much she hates Xander’s face and hates him was shocking to me. Like seriously shocking. I hope she reaches out to him to apologize for her comments.
Shan is exactly like Pastor Mary and they both have crazy eyes. Who would want Shan to minister to them?! I can’t understand why Shan wasted her extra vote during this tribal. They all act like they can’t keep their advantages until it actually helps them in the game. What did she solve by writing both Heather and Nassier on the parchment? If she wanted Nassier out, then just write his name. What a waste of an extra vote. Deshaun did this earlier in the season too.
Liana telling Xander she will trust him if he gives her his idol! Why does anyone give their idols or extra votes to other people? This is how Pastor Shan stole her two advantages Liana is a snake. She needs to go to the Ponderosa fast.
The last two episodes have been exciting. Now I remember why I love this show so much. I hope a new team emerges of Erica, Xander, Deshaun, and Heather and they go after the other people.
Survivor is my favorite show.. I do not understand how stupid some of these players are. Xander is killing it but can he survive? I hope so. Liana is a disgusting person and when she watches this back she should be embarrassed by her remarks about Xander’s but she probable wont be. She & Shan MUST be voted out.
Haven’t watched yet but I’m so grateful for the recaps. This is a great one, TT! I’ll straggle back in after I watch. I too, noticed that they all have a lot of clothes. They all have several pairs of shoes which I noticed first & then started side eyeing how many clothes they have, lol. I loathe Shan & Liana.
They have clothes but no bathing suits. I wish they would let them wear bathing suits instead of underwear.
My 13 year old laughed at me because I was literally screaming at my tv at one point last night. I am now officially remembering everyones names and I am into the season. Jeff announced that the last night is Dec. 15th, so we only have 4 more weeks of the show. They may be voting out two people at each tribal.
Bummed about Nasser. That dude has the best outlook and appreciation for everything in his life. I would have been so bitter. And there he was all smiles after being voted out with an idol in his pocket
Moving on. Why is Heather such a threat? And Liana such a B? Was really hoping DeShawn would flip. And then the pastor… I can’t stand her. The only reason I think she may have used the extra vote was because she knew one of them would be on the jury and needs to stay in their favor. 🤷♂️
At this point in all for a Xander or Erika winner.
The hate on Liana’s face while talking about Xander was very disturbing! She is carrying a very deep grudge for being burned at that tribal council when she tried to steal Xander’s idol and got played.
Both Liana and Shan are basic thieves. Shan stole her two advantages by lying directly to her “ally” Genie’s face then doing the opposite of what she told her, convincing her to leave the idols Genie found in place and then coming back and taking them. Liana tried to steal hers from Xander during tribal council after presenting herself as an ally to him also. They both need to go. Their energy is toxic. Their game is low down on all levels. Either of them doing well in this game will be a downer.
DeShawn is smarter than the crew he allied with. I hope he allies with Xander but I don’t think it will happen. The bond between Danny and DeShawn is there. Danny is more powerful with his group than the cameras let on. I have noticed his word usually reigns at tribal without him saying much. I think his game is on the down low like Xander from Big Brother.
Updated with Ponderosa footage. Naseer and Evvie are just such good people.
Thanks for posting the ponderosa footage. My heart is full after watching it! 💜
Poor Heather. About which was said:
re: this episode (Ep 9):
“Heather who I have no idea who she even is and hasn’t done a damn thing to draw attention to herself? ”
and re: Ep 8 (last week)
“Danny drops and there are three girls left, Liana, Heather and Evvie. Liana is out. Who is Heather? She is out AND EVVIE WINS!”
“So here we go with the whisperings. Heather, AGAIN WHO IS SHE AND WHAT HAS SHE DONE?, starts trying to flip the votes to Naseer. I hope she drowns in the next challenge. METAPHORICALLY!”
Poor apparently forgettable Heather, former “favorite”, (especially when receiving a probably warranted low-profile edit for some of the interim episodes). About which was also said:
“Meet the Girls”:
THIS IS WHAT 52 IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!??? Clearly, I was doing it wrong. I love her for a million reasons. Mostly because she lives in Charleston. I love all of her answers. I will be rooting for her. She’s not the old person that goes out first.
Episode 1:
“I love Heather, she is a day one viewer. I might even know her from my Survivor spoiling days.
Luvu wins the challenge and that means my girl, Heather is safe!”
and
Episode 4:
“But Heather is WAY TOO HARD ON HERSELF! She did great. Does she know not know how many of us could not have done that? She is amazing in every episode! Girlfriend, you are great! HOLY HELL! Heather is 52? I love her even more! She’s AMAZING! What a champion she is! She is my favorite after that.”
