The SGM was sure Rocky – the nut case – would be gone!!

This makes no sense at all.  Rocky is more annoying than anything and why these studs would put up with him is beyond me!

So I missed it!  However, CBS has it online and available to watch — so I when I get home tonight, I’m going to watch it and write up my thoughts.

I need to get on the ball folks!!! 

Stranded on the Cook Islands in the heart of the South Pacific, 20 strangers must live together and compete for the million-dollar prize. Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all others? Don’t miss a single episode of SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS, premiering Thursday, September 14 at 8 pm ET/PT, only on CBS.

There has been a lot of uproar about the “dividing” of the teams for this season – by race. 

So where was the uproar last year when they were divided by age?

Mark Burnett isn’t so dumb folks — the controversy brings the curious and the curious watch, boosting rates.

We ended Thursday night with the tie breaker between Cirie and Danielle.  They have to create fire and burn through a rope.  First one through stays; the other one goes to the Jury.  

Who will win the $1,000,000?

They begin the show with a recap to-date …

Danielle and Cirie square off making fire.  Cirie gets her fire started first and it’s building. Danielle gets her fire going and Cirie’s has gone out.   Danielle’s goes out and Cirie has fire again.  Now they both have fire.  Go Danielle go!!  Danielle is building hers up with small twigs.  Danielle’s rope starts on fire and WINS the challenge.  Cirie is the 6th member of the jury.   It was a good tie breaker, could have gone either way.

Night 36 back at camp and the boys have Danielle making fire again; Terry helps.  Terry is happy that Danielle won, because they have a pact.  Aras just goes to bed. 

Day 37 and Terry is messing with his immunity idol.  Aras and Danielle look at it.  Danielle says Terry showed it to them to show he was the bigger man.  She says that Aras and Terry’s relationship is a power play; who is bigger, better and … you know how men do things, let’s see who can piss the farthest.   Aras comes back with fish and Terry just strokes his ego with praise.

Immunity Reward Challenge

Race to the top of wall, using pegs to get up there.  First they have to go through a table maze to the end to get a bag.  Then to a wheel, read the clue, spin the wheel to get your pegs to get to the top of the wall.  Place each of the four pegs in their slots at the top of the wall to raise the flag.

Reward is to give the winner an advantage for tomorrow.  Power meal, and a cot and pillow to get a good night’s sleep.

Aras starts up the wall, Danielle has to go back and start over, then Terry gets his pegs and heads up the wall.   Terry wins reward.   Him and Aras hug!  Because the hidden idol is not in play, no one goes to Exile Island.  Aras and Danielle go back to camp and Terry stays to chow down.

Back at camp Aras is cleaning fish.  He and Danielle talk about the challenge tomorrow.   Terry is brought back to camp and has his cot and pillow in hand.  Aras asked him what the food was.  Terry said it was good, but not amazing. 

Day 38 – Tree Mail

They are going to Exile Island and pay tribute to the players that went before them.  Thre three head out on a power boat.  While walking around the island, they gather the torches of those that went before and we get a snap shot of each one.  Back at the big skull, the torches are put on top of it; then they set the skull on fire.

Immunity Challenge

Balance on floating platforms.  Every 15 minutes you move to the next, smaller, platform.  If you make it to the last platform, they will go until someone wins.  When they move to another platform, they are allowed one minute to get their balance first.  Feet only.

They all move forward to the third platform and Terry and Aras having problems getting their balance.  Terry is running out of time to balance his and Aras fall off their platforms.  Danielle wins immunity!  Is she going to take Terry or Aras to the final two?

Back at camp Danielle talks about who she is going to take with her.  I think if she takes Terry she’s going to win the money.  Terry pissed too many people off on the jury.  As for Aras, who knows — if she takes him, it could be a toss up.  Danielle says she’s going to take who she thinks ‘she’ has a better chance of beating, not who she made a pact with.  Terry asks her about the pact, and she asks him if he thinks it would be fair for her to take someone she can’t beat?  She doesn’t tell him yes or no; but that she hasn’t made her decision yet. 

Tribal Council

The Jury is brought in.

Danielle goes to vote.

Jeff reads the vote and Danielle is taking Aras to the final two with her.

Terry is voted out and goes to the jury.

That night after TC, Aras and Danielle go back to camp.  Of course Aras is happy – he beat Terry.  Danielle wonders if the jury was shocked she voted off Terry.  Danielle says she chose Aras because he was part of the old Casaya tribe and if she hadn’t, it would have been a slap in their face. 

They wake up the next morning to tree mail which is food.   Aras falls and gets hurt while out on the rocks.  They call the medical team in to get him some stiches.

Day 39

Aras talks about hurting himself.  Danielle tells him not to be embarassed. 

Tribal Council

I won’t be doing much with the statements or questions — it will take up too much space.  Unless of course Shane acts like the normal ass that he is.  Aras and Danielle each get to make a statement first.  Nothing has changed since the first show.

Seen Votes:

Danielle (Bruce); Aras (Terry);

Jeff goes to get the votes, and of course we know they are going to have to wait until the reunion show.  Jeff leaves with the votes and you hear the cheers of the audience members.  Jeff walks into the studio in New York.  Boy does everyone look great all nice and cleaned up and a little meat on their bones.

Jeff reads the votes:

Aras
Danielle
Danielle
Aras

Aras wins Survivor Exile Island!

Cirie won the fan vote Yukon and the next Survivor is going to be in the Cook Islands and there will be another Exile Island, with a twist.  I don’t know if I’m going to blog the entire show again – we’ll see.  Thanks to those that read and commented.

Back at camp after Tribal Council — where they voted Shane out.  They are arguing about someone’s torch being dropped or something.  I can’t tell because Cirie is yelling like an idiot at Terry.  Terry says she’s acting like one of her kids.  Then Aras gets involved and then everyone attacks Terry for being angry at Cirie.   Terry goes to bed.

People keep running into each other, thought terry and Aras were going to into it at one point.  Aras gets mouthy with Terry – what a child he is.

Aras wins reward.  He’ll send Terry to Exile Island.  Terry asks Jeff a question about the game and Aras says all he does is complain when he doesn’t win.  Jeff just stands by and watches the two play childhood games.

Aras gets to take one person with him and the other two go to Exile Island.

Cirie and Aras fly to the yacht.

Terry and Danielle talk strategy.   Danielle says it is the right time to align with Terry. 

Cirie and Aras go through the locks of the Panama Canal.

The next morning Cirie and Aras are returned to the camp on the yacht.

Aras lays down to nap and Cirie works on starting a fire for the first time since she’s been out there. 

Immunity Challenge

First set of coordinates is done for them.  They all race to solve the puzzle.

Aras wins immunity.

Back at camp – Day 36 and Terry doesn’t have the immunity necklace. 

Terry talks to Aras about getting an apology about what Aras said about him.  He was offended that Aras said he was saying bad things about women.  Aras apologizes!! 

Cirie and Danielle talk about what the tie would be at Tribal Council.  Terry and Danielle are going to vote for Cirie and Aras and Cirie will vote for Danielle.  They all figure it will be making of fire for the tie breaker.  Aras couches Cirie and Terry couches Danielle.

Danielle is working Terry to have him give her the immunity idol.

Tribal Council

The members of the jury are brought in.

Jeff brings up the immunity idol, since this is the last night it can be used.

Jeff reads the votes.

Danielle; Cirie; Danielle; Cirie

(Note, no votes for Terry! And he didn’t give the idol to Danielle)

Tie breaker is fire.

Danielle and Cirie sit down to make fire.  Terry and Aras watch to see if their couching worked.

Looks like all my prayers went up in smoke.  We are still putting up with Shane – if he wins, I will vow not to ever watch again.  Yeah right – do you really believe that?

Night 30 and it’s after Tribal Council.  Shane is still in shock.  He wants an explanation from Cirie.  She lied to him about not telling him what was going on.  They decide that Danielle or Terry go in the next vote.  Shane talks about how happy he is that Cortney’s gone.  Your ticket to the $1,000,000 is gone too bucko.

Terry chooses his wife.

He chooses Austin and Shane to go with him on the overnight stay.

Next, he picks Cirie’s husband to go with her back to the camp.

He picks Aras gets a hug from his mom; so that leaves Danielle with nothing but Exile Island.

After the challenge, Danielle bitches about everything that has happened while on Exile Island.   Cirie, her husband and Aras return to camp.  Aras and Cirie show him about life on the island.  He’s a little stunned about the whole thing. 

Shane and Terry and their loved ones show up to a fully stocked kitchen in a house.  Shane and Terry eat.  Terry’s wife was shocked by how much weight he’d lost and wants to get the beard off him.  Shane and his son sit and talk. Terry shows his wife the individual immunity idol.  The four talk strategy. 

The next morning, Cirie has her husband humping it getting the morning camp duties done. Then the boat comes and gets her husband too soon.

Terry and Shane then return.  Terry and Aras get into it because Terry explained why he chose who he did.  Aras – chill out dude. 

Immunity Challenge

Danielle returns from Exile Island

Terry wins immunity. 

Talk about who is going next.  Terry knows he’s safe for the next two votes.  Aras, Cirie and Danielle talk about voting Shane off.  Oh Please!

Is Bruce okay and will he be at the Tribal Council as part of the jury?

I don’t think my prayers are ever going to be answered and Shane is voted off.  Maybe I need to give up on that wish.

Day 28

Terry is fishing.  Terry is not happy that Bruce is sick, but glad he’s out of the game because he skipped an immunity challenge.  Shane is acting a fool. He claims to have blackberry made out of wood.  He says it helps his day, being able to communicate with people.  Danielle is not impressed.  Says he’s nuts.  Been telling you that folks!

Reward Challenge.

Two teams of three.  Each is attached to a rope that runs the length of the obstacle course.  Navigate the course.  Unclip from the rope, run across some lily pads, jump into the water and get three bags.  Get out of the water, clip back in the rope and work their way  back to shore.

Winners go to an island for a BBQ feast, including a desert of chocolate!

The Teams are:
Terry Danielle Courtney
Cirie Aras and Shane

Terry Danielle and Courtney win the reward.

Wonder how the blackberry boy is going to react to this? 

The winners send Aras to Exile Island.

The winners send Aras to Exile Island.But they have another challenge for an individual reward. 

Take a slingshot and break three tiles to win a fully loaded GMC Yukon.

Remember the winner of the vehicle always is voted off!

Terry wins the GMS Yukon.

The car will be waiting for them when they fly to the island with all the fixings for the BBQ.

Aras just chills out on the Island – he knows the idol isn’t there.

Terry, Danielle and Courtney talk strategy while they chow down.   He’s trying to convince them to throw in with him.

Shane and Cirie talk strategy too.  Cirie wants to get rid of Courtney.  She feels she’s more dangerous than Terry right now.  Cirie goes fishing.  She apologizes to the snail for using it for bait.  I’ll be damned she gets a fish!  She’s so happy she’s shaking.  She takes it back to Shane, dragging it through the sand.  Shane is shocked.  Evidently it’s Shane’s birthday. 

Terry, Courtney and Danielle come back and Cirie talks about catching a fish. 

Day 30

Danielle and Terry are cleaning snails and talking about who he wants to take to the finals.  Terry would take Courtney because they all believe they’ll win against her.  Danielle tells him not to take Courtney just because she’s annoying.

Courtney and Danielle talk and Courtney gets offended – go figure, being annoying again.  She may have sealed her fate.  Cirie says that Terry and Courtney brainwashed Danielle. 

Immunity Challenge

Aras returns

Hold your own weight.  Kneel at the end of a plank suspended over the water.  Hold on to some ropes attached to hooks that have weights put on them.  As time goes along more weight is added, which is a percentage of their body weight.  Last person left standing, wins.

Shane goes out first.

Courtney and Terry are the only two that look like they aren’t really having any problems.

Cirie goes out, then Danielle; then Aras.

Shane tells Courtney that Terry is wavering and she can beat him.  Remember he has the individual idol.

At 30 minutes more body weight is added.  Courtney struggles.  Shane encourages her.  Courtney loses a rope and then drops her weight.

Terry wins immunity – 4^th time in a row.

Well Terry won the car and won’t be voted out.  Broke the streak! 

Back at camp after the challenge.  Terry is happy because someone from Casaya is going home, and Aras knows it is him.  Even Courtney and Cirie talk about taking out Aras next.  Courtney, Danielle, Terry and Cirie are going to vote out Aras and not tell Shane.  Terry is feeling good about sending Aras home. Shane thinks they are going to vote out Danielle.  Cirie is going to mix it up by voting for Courtney, she wants her gone. 

Tribal Council

The members of the jury return and Bruce is with them!  Yeah!!

The previews are worrying.  Word around the office is that they think Bruce is the one that gets hurt.  Maybe Shane will loose his mind even more tonight and FINALLY go home!  I am going to continue to pray!

Day 25 – Terry talking about being the last of his tribe left on the island. Shane and Danielle and talk about being the first tribe ever to make it all the way. Terry talks strategy and being able to watch the other tribe turn on each other.  Bruce talks about being constipated and his stomach hurting.  

Tree mail is boxes with everyone’s name on it.  They have to decorate the boxes?  They open them up and they find dolls inside.  They have to decorate them to their likeness.  Cerie gives hers boobs. 

Reward Challenge

They all enter with their dolls.  They have to see how well they know each other.  They are going to answer questions in private and Jeff will tally up the correct answers.  He will ask  the questions again and they have to figure out whose name came up most often.  With a right answer you get to chop a rope above a board with another tribe members’ name on it.  After 3 chops, their voodoo doll goes up in flames.

Reward is a helicopter ride to a spa, shower, wash clothes, eat, spend the night.  The winner sends someone to Exile Island.

Shane throws a fit when he’s knocked out of the game and gets mouthy.  Like that’s a surprise.

Cirie wins the challenge; her first.  I know she’s going to get to take someone with her.  But first she sends Terry to Exile Island; he wasn’t surprised – and neither am I.  

Cirie can take two people with her.  Shane is on his knees like a fool.  She takes Aras, and then chooses Danielle.  Shane gets all mouthy and starts kicking sand like a child.  Lord he’s arguing with her because she didn’t choose him.  What a puss boy.  Watch him try and get her voted out tonight. What an ass!

The helicopter is off with its passengers and it really is a beautiful spot they are at.  Cirie had never been in a helicopter before; she had a great time. She picked Aras and Danielle because she figured she’d have the best time with them.  They sit down and eat first.  Who wouldn’t?  They talk about how Courtney was picked as being most annoying.  They laugh. 

Back at camp Shane bitches about how tight he thought Aras, Cirie and he were.  Courtney says she doesn’t care about Cirie and Danielle; she cares more about the answers that were given.  She was hurt about being told she was the most annoying.  Get over it girlie girl; you ARE the most annoying on the planet. Bruce is not feeling well … he’s going to lay down.  His stomach is really blotted and he does look in pain.  Not being able to shit is rough – been there done that; but not as long as he’s gone without going.

Back at the reward each person gets a massage.  Then that evening they are pigging out again on more food.  They talk about the immaturity of Shane and Courtney. 

That night at camp Bruce is in more serious pain – I think he’s the one they are going to have to call the medivac for.  Cortney checks on him.  She starts to sing to him and he tells her to stop.  He asked for the medics – he doesn’t want to quit, he just wants to get well.  The medic arrives via boat.  The guy sounds British or Australian and checks his condition.  Give the man some morphine.  Bruce reacts in pain when he presses on his abdomen.  He runs an IV.  Ringers I’m sure.  The medic goes to get the stretcher.  He can’t rule out his appendix.  They are going to take him back to base camp.  He asks Shane to help him with the stretcher.  I hope he’s okay.  Shane and Courtney are in a daze over the events. 

Day 26 – Terry on Exile Island talking about how he has a target on his back.

Back at camp, Courtney and Shane talk about Bruce.  And of course Courtney is talking about how bad the day before was for her.  Selfish bitch.   Shane threatens to kill her, and says he was joking that she needs to stop taking things so personal.  He wants to take her to the final two because anyone could win against her.

The boat comes back with Aras, Cirie and Danielle.  Neither Shane nor Courtney greet them, but they learn about Bruce being taking away.  Shane tells Aras that he’s mad at Cirie.  This is the kindergarten version of Survivor folks – gawd. 

Cirie tries to talk to Shane about how hard it was to not take him with her on the reward. 

Well it’s 10 minutes to 9, will there be a Tribal Council or not?

Day 27

They clean up Bruce’s zen garden to send positive energy to him. 

Here comes a boat. Terry is back and Jeff is with him.  They go out to meet the boat.  They all gather at camp.  They fill Terry in as to what happened.  Bruce’s colon and bladder was blocked, but he will not be back to the game.  Jeff says it was a good thing they called the medics in when they did.  There will be no immunity challenge or Tribal council.  Jeff hopes that Bruce can come back as a member of the jury.

6 Remain.

Ah, I forgot that last week’s castaway voted of, Austin, is the first member of our jury.  Is he going to remember that Terry has the idol and didn’t give it to him to keep him from getting voted off? Hmmm

Day 22 – Terry talking about learning to fly in the military to the guys.  Courtney makes a nasty comment about “normal American people wanting to be a Navy pilot?”  She has to go NOW! 

We learn that Danielle declined the immunity idol.  Terry and Sally are on their own.  Danielle looks through Terry’s stuff to see if she could find the idol, but she’s now not sure he has it. 

Aras talks to the girls about taking Terry out.  Aras wants to go look and see if Terry’s found the idol – by going to Exile Island himself.

Reward Challenge

Playing for love from home – videos.  Jeff gives them a taste.  If you win the reward challenge, the winner gets to see the whole video.  Oh ass wipe Shane cries like a baby.  They will also get peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk.

The challenge is two teams of four.  1 person lay face down on a cradle suspended in the air.  The other 3 people will pull the rope and will get 15 flags and place them in order in their spots.  The winning team of four decides who goes to Exile Island.

Danielle, Cerie, Aras and Shane
Courtney, Bruce, Sally, and Terry

Aras keeps knocking flags out and they have to go back and replace it.

Courtney, Bruce, Sally and Terry win!  They send Aras to Exile Island, just like he wanted.

Cerie, Shane and Danielle go back to camp.  Shane says he has an issue with his “penis”?  He wants Cerie to look at it.  She starts laughing.  But you’re a nurse. Shane drops his drawers to have her look at his “nuts” actually.  It’s chafing, red.  God, we could have gone without that.  Cerie is laughing but trying to be professional.  She tells him to dry it out so he just drops his drawers.  He wraps his shirt around himself to get some “air”.  Guys are only going to be able to appreciate this I think.

Aras on Exile Island.  He starts looking for the idol.  Have fun dude!  He’s afraid Terry has the idol.  He does dude!  He figures Terry sent him there on purpose, so he stops looking for it.

Back at camp, the winners come back.  They all got luxury items.  Terry got an American flag.  It was on his father and father-in-law’s caskets.  Sally got her journal, Bruce had a sketch book.  Courtney had some balls on a string.

Day 24

Courtney playing with balls and Bruce is sketching.  Sally talks about not wanting to go home, and Terry says one of them has to win the challenge and she has to get one of the other females on their side.

Shane tells’ Terry if he doesn’t have the idol, he’s gone

Immunity Challenge

Aras returns.

Jeff gives each person a nut and a shell.  They have to put the shell in one and the nut in the other.

On the ocean floor a plank with 7 symbols.  Swim out and memorize the symbols, swim back and put the symbols in order as best as they can.   If immunity is not important, they can skip the challenge and eat instead.  Cheeseburgers, French fries, and soda.  If you want to participate, show the shell.

Aras, Sally and Terry are going to challenge.  The rest are going to eat.  There going to be some sick people tonight the way they are eating that food. 

Terry wins immunity for the third straight time.  The people have to stop eating too now. 

Aras tells Shane, Cirie and Courtney that he didn’t find the idol.  Terry might have it. There is lots of talk about who is going to go with who, and busting up the strong six. Courtney does some fire dance to help her make decision.  Everyone kind of just watches like she’s on dope.

They bring in Austin in as the first member of the jury.

Now I wonder how ol’ asswipe Shane is going to act tonight after having gotten his shot across the bow with 4 votes at tribal council last week? I hope he’s worried. I hope he shoots off his mouth. I hope, against all hope that the man goes home tonight.

Gtanos – Day 19

Austin is feeling great. He can’t believe he’s still there. Courtney wonders if they sent the wrong person home. But now they know his plan and he’s a threat.

Terry and Sally talk about how to protect Austin by trying to pull one of the Casaya members over to their side. Terry is working the numbers.

Tree mail

Reward Challenge

Divide into 3 teams. 1 boat. 100 coconuts. Race to put the nuts in another team’s boat. It will slow them down later. When your bin is empty of coconuts, get in your boat, with the coconuts, and paddle out to get your tribe flag and a fishing net. Paddle back to shore and then take the fishing net and use to drag the nuts to a bin. Put your flag in the bin.

The winners go on a boat the next morning to a spot where a bed and breakfast is waiting. The winning 3 decides who goes to Exile Island.

Bruce, Aras, Sally win reward.

They have to send one person from each team to Exile Island. They choose Austin and Danielle.

The next morning, it’s raining again. Sally is going to have breakfast in bed with Aras and Bruce. The boat arrives to pick the three up for their reward.

They got to a sandbar with a beautiful canopy bed, in the rain. Yuck. But dudes, it’s a bed! Everything was wet. They all get in anyway and their breakfast is brought to them. Screw the wet sheets! Coffee in a French press. Yummm

Terry is talking to Shane about Danielle and Austin on Exile Island. Shane is all eyeballs – the man has a problem, other than mentally. Terry found out that Aras and Bruce are on the list to be voted off for the Casaya tribe, and he’s going to try and get them on La Mina side.

The three come back from their breakfast and they talk up about what they ate and Cerie is all pissed off about it. It’s still raining folks.

Exile Island on Night 20. Austin and Danielle are huddled together trying to stay dry and warm. Danielle and Austin bond through the torment.

Day 21 – Talk about the people on the island finding the idol; maybe Austin. Terry confuses to Sally that he has the idol. Sally is glad for him; the whole game changes. She thinks he might give it to her or Austin if he wins immunity.

Immunity Challenge

Danielle and Austin return.

A race through a series of four survivor obstacles.

All start.

Go under a fence in the sand.

6 move on.

- Sally, Danielle, Courtney, Terry, Shane (damn), and Austin.

Brain teaser (logic problem) up a sand hill through a maze, another hill

3 move on.

- Austin, Sally, and Terry move on.

Across a bridge with planks, jump in the water climb a sandy bank

2 move on.

- Terry and Sally move on.

Race through a vertical and horizontal challenge.

- Terry wins immunity.

Back at camp. Danielle is mad at Aras for choosing her to go to Exile Island. Austin figures he’s gone now that Terry won. Terry plans to give Danielle the immunity idol, but if Bruce will come over too. Austin and Terry work on Bruce; Terry tells him that Shane didn’t include him in the final four from Casaya. Bruce agrees, so they go to work on Danielle.

Aras and Courtney got in an argument. Aras thinks Terry has the immunity idol. Aras is pissed because he doesn’t think that the Casaya gals are standing behind the plan. Terry and Austin talk to Danielle and offer up the idol if she goes to their side. She’s shocked and has to think.

Gotta feeling it’s not going to end like I want it to, but it sure is getting interesting. All the head games they play. Hey, it is for a $1,000,000!!!

Tribal Council

Vote – who do we see written down? I saw Aras twice for sure.

Jeff reads the votes:

Aras, Aras, Austin, Aras, Austin, Austin, Austin, Austin

Jeff asks if he has the idol. Austin stands — and packs up his stuff and leaves. Did Terry give it Danielle like he said he would? Who has it now!

8 Remain.
