It’s been a bit rough over here today, so I am looking forward to this Survivor 42 recap. But, I’m not sure how much focus I have to watch it right now. I am mentally and physically exhausted. This is not a good time to be running out of lighters. 🙁
IKA (Blue) Tribe Zach, Drea, Romeo, Rocksroy, Tori, Swati
We begin tonight on the Ika tribe camp where they are returning from stupidly voting off Swati. Rocks doesn’t know that the tribe was voting for Swati to go home. Tori whines about Rocks only focusing on the shelter and the fire. She’s coming for him. But who is going to keep the camp going if he leaves? Drea and Romeo team up to look for an idol. Drea found the idol. Drea loses her vote, but she has an extra vote. She realizes that Maryanne has an idol. So now it is up to Mike on Vati to activate the idols. But he doesn’t want to say his phrase. Good grief.
Taku Tribe (orange) Taku (Orange)Tribe: Jonathan, Omar, Maryanne, Marya, Jackson, Lindsay
Maryanne and Lindsay are having fun talking about their Mario Kart game skills. But, Johnathan finds their constant chatter annoying. Jonathan walks off from the tribe to fish. He catches lots of fish. Oh no. Maryanne is driving him crazy. This is not good. If they lose tonight, my girl might go home!
Vati (Green Tribe) Lydia, Mike, Daniel, Kai, Jenny, Chanelle
Things are also tense on the Vati tribe. Kai is not happy with Chanelle. And Lydia will do whatever Kai wants. Daniel tries to fish. He sucks at it. His teammates start to wonder how he is doing that with a “dislocated shoulder.” I’d love for Daniel to go home this week. Apparently, Daniel has been sitting out on all of the fishing challenges because of his shoulder. But, suddenly he is swimming just fine when he tries to fish? He comes back with no fish. In real life, the tornado watches are coming. FUCK. As if I need another thing to stress over.
The Immunity Challenge
At the immunity challenge, all three people who found the idol say their phrases. YAY! Marianne has an idol now! I hope she will know when to use it. They are playing for a tarp, the top two winners will get tarps. It looks like Jonathan is purposely trying to lose to get rid of Maryanne. But Jonathan makes a comeback at the sling shot range. They come in second. Rocks and Lydia are chosen to go on a journey. Vati (the green team is headed to tribal council. That means Maryanne is safe! YAY! Send Daniel home!
Chanelle and Daniel both feel like they are both on the chopping block. Hai tells Daniel that Chanelle is going home. Mike tells Chanelle that Daniel is going home. But, when Mike and Kai chat, they want figure out who should really goes. But they are worried about Lydia’s vote.

Meanwhile, Lydia is on the journey with Rocks. Mike tribe is terrified she will lose her vote. So of course she will. Lydia has body image issues? She is beautiful! I still don’t get this risk your vote or protect your vote thing. They both choose to protect their vote. And off we go to tribal council. I’m praying for Daniel to go home. The votes end in a tie with two votes for Chanelle and two for Daniel because SOMEONE, probably Daniel voted for Mike. So we have a revote. Daniel goes home. YAY!
Chanelle voted for Tom. Weird.
Chanel voting for Mike was really confusing and I’m wondering how she’s going to spin that. If she had just voted for Daniel, he would’ve gone the first round, right?
Can’t wait to hear that explanation, what was the point? But didn’t she tell Daniel to vote for Lydia at a previous tribal and then deny it later?
Off topic Survivor tea. There is a new home renovation show called “Why the Heck did I Buy This House?” The host is Kim Spradlin, who won Survivor One World. It’s one of those typical scripted home renovation series where she pretends to pour concrete and hammer just for the cameras and then turns it over to the real workers. She drives around to funky shops in her cool old pickup truck for one of a kind finds. There is a “budget busting crisis” that must be addressed because it would ruin the “aesthetic” she is going for. Then she basically goes and buys out Home Goods and fills the house with crappity crap. She then stands there smugly while the owners cover their mouths while exclaiming on the perfection of a home that has none of their personal stuff in it and just looks like a furniture store and before mentioned Home Goods barfed all over it.
Thank you Hummingbird. I have watched two episodes of that show and kept wondering “Who is this person?”
btw your description of this show is perfect. It just kind of misses the mark for me and I usually watch those remodeling shows and enjoy them.
And once the show leaves so does the staging furniture and decor! And. They get a big tax bill.
wow, is that true?
Chanel’s vote for Mike shocked me! That should be interesting going into next week. None of them seemed to vote according to the narrative they gave prior to tribal council. Kai seemed so set on voting Chanel out and convincing Lydia. It definitely was a nail biter for me.
