Jeremy is done, that's no fun. Click through to review Episode (Ten Minus One).
-
Watch out, Jeremy! He's right behind you! -
So... Josh was voted out. That was fun. -
Didn't he already vote out Kelley, then talk to Dale? -
Oh yeah, Josh said they were TOTALLY fooled. -
So! Josh was voted out! That was fun! -
Well, guess I need to start thinking about playing my idol now. Good thing I kept the instruction manual. -
Final three? -
Yay! A water challenge! (for Nicaragua, at least). -
A yacht? Delightful! -
Probst continues jabbering on, neglects to mention all the fixin's. -
Aw, man. No tacos? -
Team Blue, wearing teal. -
Team What-Should-Be-Orange, wearing yelllow. -
Probst: Let me repeat - if anyone splashes me with mud, you will have ZERO chance of playing again. -
Yay, people standing over mud. -
We TOLD you to watch out for Jon, Jeremy! -
All the excitement of a mother-daughter battle. When they're not standing still. -
Keith prepares to twerk in celebration. -
Spoiler alert: Reed is about to get muddy. -
Watch out, Jeremy! (Again.) -
The back slap of death. -
Missy overreaches. -
Baylor wins! (Just the RC, phew. Well, okay, also the IC.) -
Hey Probst, I'd really prefer not to go on a reward with Alec... can I swap out for someone? -
Quick, come on Jaclyn! I hear there's food! -
Eh, it's a diarrhea fest anyway. -
Let's exile Jeremy! Even though Missy lost the RC and hasn't gone before. -
Thanks. -
Baylor: I'm positive there's an idol on Exile, so it's a good thing we sent Jeremy! -
So to get a confessional I have to give up reward? -
Wow, I'm getting a confessional, too? I'm not getting hashtag-blindsided am I? -
Seriously, please tell us if you're voting Wesley out, so I can give him my idol. Uh... whoops. -
Sigh... at least there's only one urn this time. -
It's especially hard climbing the ladder of success when there's no idol at the end of it. -
Everyone: Yay! Dolphins! Jon: No thanks, I'm full... for now. -
We ate them an hour later. Delicious. -
And soda for the young-uns, even though the legal drinking age in Nicaragua is 18. -
This never gets old. -
Second night on Exile and SOMEBODY's feeling crabby. -
Now the bed of rocks makes sense. -
Best. Twist. Ever. -
Yay. -
We should probably start thinking about how to convince Jeremy how someone else got the post-merge exile idol, even though I'm the only person who's gone. -
*I* am the puppetmaster! Me! -
Seriously? -
Welcome back, Jeremy. I'll take that off of you. Nice of production to snag it from camp for you. -
Subtitle of the season. -
This is different. -
So many feet. -
Reed takes an insurmountable lead. -
Missy and Jaclyn also participated in this challenge. -
Spoiler alert: Jeremy's going to get booted. -
And just like that, Baylor surmounts Reed's insurmountable lead. -
That's some nice work there, Alec. -
Youngest individual IC winner? (Answer: Nope, Brandon Hantz) -
Good news, Baylor. It'll be that much harder for you to break the record for votes against now. -
Okay... so I didn't win immunity. Time to burn down the camp. -
Or rummage through Keith's bag. One of the two. -
It's not spit. It's broth. -
Pocketing the idol instructions. -
CBS's suggested hashtag for SJdS. Don't blame us. -
Little-known item on Line 7: Any idol found can be redeemed for at least 3 confessionals. -
So if Keith has the idol instructions, he probably also has the idol itself.... Which can be used to save him at Tribal.... Okay, just nod if you understand. -
Keith has an idol! Camp is about to get crazy. See? -
Okay, this time it's spit. -
Another in-depth strategic discussion. -
Well, at least I fooled Jeremy about having an idol. -
Natalie, I'm pretty sure Jon has an idol. -
Gosh, that clue is really specific. Someone must have found it by now. -
I'm starting to think Jeremy doesn't have an idol. We should vote him out. -
You don't say. -
Hi everyone! Ponderosa is awesome! Please send Reed! Or, I guess, don't. -
Everyone loves Tribal Council. -
Val went to Exile her first two days. I went there my last two. Thanks, Probst. -
Alec also appeared, briefly, in this episode. -
Oh yes, I LOVED it when you guys voted out Josh. If you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. -
We might have an idol? How could you think that? -
*WE* might have an idol? How could you think that? -
Yay! Tribal Council! -
Is that all you got? Come on guys, please give me a blindside. And not one of those fake ones where CBS insists on using the hashtag anyway. -
Aw, you guys are too kind. It's not even my birthday! -
Oh well. We're about out of rice again, anyway. -
You guys ate all the rice again? -
Seriously, Missy. What are we going to trade for rice now? Jon and Keith's idols? -
Sigh.
Jeff Pitman is the founder of the True Dork Times, and probably should find better things to write about than Survivor. So far he hasn't, though. He's also responsible for the Survivometer, calendar, boxscores, and contestant pages, so if you want to complain about those, do so in the comments, or on Bluesky: @truedorktimes
