Clutch me to your bosums, Survivor 41 recap fans! It’s been a dark and dreary day here in the ATL and I am so excited to have a decent show to recap for a change. Things are moving so fast that we are almost to the end, and I don’t want it to end!
But First, (said in my Julie Chen Voice) here is Shan’s Ponderosa reel…
Shan is a much nicer person on the Ponderosa. It’s worth a watch.
Here is Liana’s
It’s a bit boring. But, also just what I need. I am wringing every bit of Survivor I can get out of this season for my mental health. I’m also sad that it is such a short season. I’ve really enjoyed every episode, and mostly, having you guys to talk about the show with. Let’s get to tonight’s episode.
The Aftermath Of Tribal Council
YAY! This show makes me so happy! We start right after tribal council. Deshawn is still emotional from the BLM conversation and voting out Liana. Xander gives him a hug. I want to hug him too! Deshawn and Danny get together to regroup. Danny thought that Xander would keep his word and vote out Ricard but he didn’t. So he’s probably coming for Xander. Which is dumb. Because, Ricard is very likely to win this whole thing. Xander and Danny talk and Xander makes it clear that he needs Ricard in the game because people want him out ASAP and that would leave Xander as the biggest threat.

Heather talks to Deshawn about felt about his desire to keep supporting black culture and how voting out Liana was difficult. I really like Heather. But, it is strange that she is still here. I picked her as my favorite before the show started. Then, she got little screen time other than on the show outside her poor challenge showing. Then Ericka tells Deshawn that she hates voting out women because she wants a female winner. So she is struggling too.
On To The Reward Challenge
I guess it is because of Covid, but so many of the challenges are water challenges. The challenge requires the teams to be in groups of three. They must swim out and retrieve three buoys and then toss each one into three separate baskets. The winning team has a choice, they can have grilled chicken and veggies or cake, cookies and candy. That’s ridiculous these people are starving and need protein. It’s not a choice at all. Deshawn complains. He wanted a letter from home. REALLY? Over food? Heather does GREAT this challenge. But, Ricard, Erika and Xander win reward. They obviously take the chicken option.

Deshawn talks to Erika and Xander about voting out Ricard. Deshawn isn’t sure they trust them to follow through. Meanwhile, Danny goes idol hunting. And he finds…something. Ricard realizes that Danny found an idol. Y’all better not vote Danny out this week. Can we not just send home Heather? Things are getting serious now! She is not going to win. Deshawn wants Erika and Xander as his final three?
The Immunity Challenge
I hate how Jeff Probst TV Host now has to say, “Come on in!” Instead of “Come on In Guys.” Things are getting ridiculous. The challenge is again an obstacle course with a puzzle at the end. It looks brutal with all the spinning and stuff. Ricard wins and saves himself because he was going home tonight if he did not win. Ricard is on track for winning this whole thing. Now the survivors don’t know what the fuck to do. Things are not so easy anymore.

I am so behind but I refuse to rush through this show. It’s just too good. Deshawn and Danny are pissed. They wanted Ricard gone at the last tribal. Now they are both in danger because people didn’t follow their plan. Ricard asks Danny if he found an idol. He refuses to say but apparently he did NOT. Oh Lord. Deshawn is going home. Ricard goes through Danny’s bag. Xander and Heather talk about who to send home between Danny and Deshawn. Also, how am I just now noticing that Xander has unusually large nipples for a man. WHAT? I’m just saying. Ricard quickly realizes that Deshawn and Erika are close.
Danny Discloses His Truth
Danny tells Deshawn, since they both feel like one of them is going home that he is a former NFL player. He played for the Chicago Bears for one year and five years for the Dallas Cowboys. Now Deshawn is going to have to use that information against him. And it is time for tribal council. Deshawn starts spilling tea on everyone! Starting with Erika??? He says that Erika told him that she will not be taking Heather to the end. Deshawn totally throws Erika under the bus! Erika says her trust with Deshawn is now broken.

I think Deshawn will be going home tonight after his remarks. Oh it is a tie! they have to revote. Well fuck. Danny goes home. NOOOOOOOOOO! That sucks. They remaining cast mates will be sent to another island. They will have to start over. Within three days they will have two immunity challenges, two tribal councils, one fire making tie breaker and one winner. So Heather and Erika will likely leave and Ricard will win.
Thanks for watching with me!
Was so sad to see Danny go – I really like him. What were they thinking?! Deshawn was a jerk tonight IMO. Heather just keeps rolling along 🙄. I still want Xander to win but Ricard is the powerhouse player right now. It will be interest to see what Erica does next week.
I hate how Danny and Deshawn are calling the other contestants names for not getting Ricard out last week. Yet if they did, then neither Danny or Deshawn would take them all the end. D & D are not understanding that getting Ricard out last week wasn’t good for the others game. Liana would never had let Erica or Xander keep playing. It wasn’t a dumb move to the other contestants. Just because the others didn’t do what D & D wanted doesn’t mean they made a bad move by voting out Liana.
I watched Shan’s video at the Ponderosa and I still can’t stand her. She wants to control everything. I remember how she bragged about talking her church members into doing what she wants, not whats best for them. To me, she is a Mary from RHOSLC.
I am so excited for next week. After last night, I believe Heather can win because the jury don’t like the other contestants. I hope it comes down to Erica, Xander and Heather, but I still like Ricard. Deshawn outing Erica turned me off of him last night. He failed to admit that he and Danny are Erica and Heather and Xander and Ricard. They each have a person they are equal to, but Deshawn didn’t see it in his own game.
I was surprised to see them vote Danny out on the second round! After DeShawn’s true confession, how could Erica want to work with him? She ended up voting Danny out. I guess she feels DeShawn is her best ally now that the beans were spilled regarding Heather? I think Erica knows Xander and Ricard don’t trust her so I guess this was her option?? SMH.
I don’t understand why Erika has been ostracized by the others this whole game. She’s smart, she’s cute, she seems kind to the others. Why is it that the women who have strategy that are always seen as sneaky and the guys who have strategies are good game players. I want Erika to stick close to Ricard, and Maybe Xander. If Heather floats to the end… that’s a no for me dawg. I think it is great she has lasted this long. But this is Ricard’s game to lose. Though I’d love a Xander win.
I’m on same page as you on the season. I don’t think we usually agree on favorites? Idk. My brain is dying a quiet death lately. Can’t remember shit.
Ricard is growing on me. I don’t understand why DeShawn trying to blow up others’ games during tribal? Like what is the strategy there? I could see the betrayal on Erica’s face. Aside from DeShawn pissing me off, I actually genuinely like all the players left in this game. And I was disappointed that Danny went over DeShawn. Do I secretly want a Xander win? Sure. It’s definitely Ricard’s to lose at this point. But with the fast pace & upcoming twists it’s anyone’s game I suppose. I am really enjoying this season although I do miss the old survivor and I will hold the “come on in guys” updated phrase against Ricard, lol. I paid attention to Xander’s nipples and imo they looked average?
Thanks a lot TT. Now I cannot unsee those nipples.
