Survivor and can you say "BLINDSIDE " Watching another one bite the survior good bye dust ha ha!

Watching Lucy get voted out of Survivor was great! Bossing people around really and men like it when she is assertive and telling them what to do? WOW a first for me !! I was so glad to see David play his idol for Jessica that showed her his loyalty with her at least IMO anyhow. I just don't feel telling everyone what do to and sitting there saying and then cutting of Jeff Probes was the best idea either he had this look on his face "what just happen here" type of look.

Challenge for the reward was awesome glad that the GEN X won that they needed protein though I was hoping it would of helped them better in playing the immunity challenge with the puzzle a bit better. Then again Survivor has to many puzzles sorry I like puzzles to but almost every challenge has one at least IMO from what I have seen.

I remember Boston Rob who jammed at puzzles to and that was great and all but he is not on this season and some people know how to put puzzles together and others just really don't. Though the Millennial's won immunity that just made the GEN X go after one of there own and again I have to say I was glad it was Lucy. Something about her even when I first seen her and heard her she rubbed me the wrong way wasn't sure or anything then when it came down to tribal and she started to cut off Jeff and others and trying to say her being bossy people in her real life like interesting.





Here is Lucy's exit interview I found.

Those who lived in the path of Hurricane Mathew hope you all are safe with loved ones as I say you can not replace a life but you can replace material things. Though family stuff is hard but you have your life and your safe .

 Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X' Recap: A Creative Move Overthrows a Dictator

'Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X' Recap: A Creative Move Overthrows a Dictator

Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Well, there wasn't a tribe swap last week on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X after all. Instead, the two tribes conspired at a summit where David promptly offered to defect to voting with the Millennials. Then we got our second blindside in a row when the ladies of the Gen-X tribe felt threatened by Paul's closeness with the other guys. Let's see how the power dynamic shifts at Gen-X in "Who's the Sucker at the Table?"

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X Recap: Those Who Can't, Get Blindsided >>>

Blindside Backlash

It's always a mess back at camp after a blindside, and tonight is no different. Chris and Bret are pissed off that they were left out of the vote and that their buddy Paul was voted off. Jessica tries to defend herself telling them about what Paul told her about a men's alliance, but they don't want to hear it.

The next day, Sunday and Lucy are feeling remorseful. Lucy goes up to the guys and rats out Jessica as the mastermind of the blindside. She tells them that she can get Ken and David to come with them on the next vote to get Jessica out. Chris says he likes the sound of that.

At the Millennial tribe, everyone's getting hungry so they decide to go out to hunt a pig. The problem is, all they can find is a goat, and even the wiley goat manages to escape their pursuits.

While these hungry goofs are out trying to catch dinner, Adam tries to find the hidden immunity idol. He's not successful at that, but he does find a clue. He doesn't have time to look for it now, but he'll revisit the clue when he can get away from camp again.

Playing to Eat

It's the first Reward Challenge of the season! It's a physical one too. The survivors have to race out, two at a time, and retrieve a ring from the water. Then, they have to bring it back to the beach while two people from the other tribe try to stop them by any means necessary. The reward is a Survivor BBQ, complete with steak, sausage, veggies and spices.

The challenge gets real nasty real fast with Chris and Bret demolishing the men on the Millennial tribe. But the Millennial women come through, especially Michaela, who She-Hulks her way to score the only two points for their tribe. She even loses her bikini top in the process! But Gen-X is just too strong though and they walk away with the win.

Finding Hope

Everyone is pretty impressed with Michaela's performance. She says in her confessional that she's just the kind of person who likes to win. She says she'd rather lose her top than lose the challenge.

Adam is bummed because he isn't very comfortable with physical competition like the afternoon's challenge, and he knows he has to perform well in order to increase his chances of sticking around.

To better ensure his future, he goes out looking for the idol again. This time he finds it. He gets worried when Hannah spots him, but she just says, "Good luck with your idol search, buddy," and walks away. (Hannah! You have to go over there and bust him, what are you doing?!)

Anyway, Adam gets very emotional after finding his idol. His mom was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer four months ago, so he's living his dream on Survivor while concurrently living a nightmare with his mother's illness. It can't be easy, but his mom loves Survivor and he hopes he gets to share this moment with her when they watch it together.

Should the Legacy Advantage Replace Hidden Immunity on Survivor? >>>

Gen-X Tyrant

After the Gen-X'ers enjoy some sausages cooked over the campfire, David talks to Lucy about the plan going forward. Lucy tells him that it's going to be Jessica, so she doesn't want to see him or Ken talking to her. She says that if they tell her, no one will trust them and they'll be the next to go.

It's not a great approach. She's harsh and condescending and Ken doesn't like it. He says they went from one dictator to another, and that just doesn't fly with him.

A Puzzling Challenge

For immunity, the tribes have to race through obstacles to a chair. Then the other tribe members have to lift the one person in the chair up to retrieve 10 tiles. Once three people collect 30 tiles, they have to use the tiles to complete a word puzzle.

The obstacle part of the challenge is pretty much inconsequential and both tribes are neck-and-neck when they start the puzzle, but the puzzle part of the challenge takes 45 minutes! And when it's solved, it's by Zeke, who isn't even technically on the puzzle crew, but standing on the mat. Millennials win immunity for the second week in a row.

Lose Lips

Losing immunity once again was tough for everyone. Chris is uncomfortable after last week's Tribal Council, but he's counting on Lucy to make the blindside of Jessica happen. He talks to Lucy and she confirms that she has David and Ken on board.

The thing is, David and Ken aren't on board and they want to vote Lucy off. They know they can get CeCe, but it will depend if they can convince Jessica that she's on the chopping block and then Jessica would have to bring in Sunday. It's a longshot plan, but David doesn't just want to vote with the majority only to be on the bottom again for the next vote.

Ken tells Jessica that if she doesn't vote for Lucy with them, then she's the one going home tonight. Jessica listens intently and then outright doesn't believe him.

So what does she do? She goes right to Lucy and tells her everything Ken just told her. Lucy tries to convince her that it's still CeCe going home tonight, not her.

Ken feels betrayed by Jessica. He trusted her, and he thought she trusted him, so he's bummed that she's foiled their plan. Not only that, but now he feels compelled to vote with the majority for Jessica instead of Lucy, and that's not what he wants to do.

QUIZ: Which Reality TV Show Should You Audition For?

Tribal Council

David admits that last week's vote did not bring their tribe together. In fact, it did just the opposite, and now their tribe is in utter chaos.

Lucy says that tonight is hard because no one knows who's voting for whom. She thought she knew until she heard Ken wanted to vote her out, and now she's worried that he has the numbers to do just that.

Ken is forthright about why Lucy's social and strategic tactic bothered him. Lucy says she can be blunt, but usually when she talks to men they can handle her bluntness. A subtle dig at someone's masculinity isn't probably the best way to ingratiate herself to her tribe.

Ken also admits that he was trying to get Lucy voted off, but he wavered after his trust was betrayed. Jessica knows he's talking about her. She asks him what was she supposed to do? Just believe him? Ken looks at her with all honesty and simply says, "Yes." In that moment, you can tell by Jessica's face that she knows she's put her trust in the wrong person and she's probably screwed. She tells Jeff that she's definitely second-guessing the way she's handled things.

To the Vote!

We see Chris's vote for Jessica, but we don't see any of the other votes. Before Jeff reads the votes, David stands up. He says he knows what he's doing might upset people, but he's playing his idol for Jessica tonight.

It's nothing but shocked faces from everyone, especially Jessica, as each "Jessica" vote is read. Jess voted for CeCe, but David and CeCe voted for Lucy, so Lucy's the one who gets her torch snuffed.

She thanks David on the way out of Tribal. It's a big gamble for David to play his idol this early in the game for someone who wasn't even technically his ally. But perhaps he's bought her loyalty now.

What do you think of David's move to play his idol? Would you have done it? Did Jessica even deserve it?

Next episode: Drop your buffs for a swap. Does this mean the end of Figgy and Taylor?

Magic: The Gathering – Let’s Build Brago, King Eternal EDH

For all you magic the gathering fans enjoy this one at least we hope you do :)

Kimberly

TV REALITY MOM

============================

Magic: The Gathering – Let’s Build Brago, King Eternal EDH

 
brago_lets_build_banner
We’ve gotten some requests and interest in deck-building tutorials, so we’re going to start a new semi-regular feature where we take one deck and build it from the bottom up, following along with our reasoning. So today’s spotlight is Brago, King Eternal.

bragokingeternal
Brago is a very easy build, so it’s good for beginners. Right away you notice his ability: He flickers your field every time he connects. Therefore, it follows that if you pack the deck with ETB value beef and some mana rocks + the occasional interesting interaction, you’ve got yourself a deck. Brago is devastating in French 1vs1, and has a fighting chance in multiplayer.

Also keep in mind, these are cards currently owned by your humble author. I will strive to keep the decklist budget friendly, because I reckon budgets to be a great friend to I as well, and will also reflect that my choices may not necessarily be the perfect ones for you. The point is to teach you how to think about deck building, using Brago as an example. If you have Sword of Ren and Stimpy around to replace one of the 20-cent equipments, happy for you.
sword_of_ren_and_stimpy

Maxim #1: Make sure your general can do its thing.

In Brago’s case, he has one glaring condition: He must deal combat damage to a player or he doesn’t work. He does have flying, which helps. He’s also in great colors for board control, which helps more. So our first mission is to enable his ability as much as possible…


With this collection of equipment and enchantments, we have a mini-Voltron kit for Brago. Our primary wincon isn’t really to win with Commander damage – although you could build it that way – so our set-up is largely defensive. We have four ways to make Brago hexproof, three ways to make him unblockable, a couple ways to give him haste, and even a little pump and some lifelink to sweeten the deal. Normally I stop at Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, and Whispersilk Cloak and call it a day. But Brago gets really, really awesome when he connects.
plan_b

Maxim #2: Make sure your deck can still function without your general.

Of course, no matter how many precautions you take, somebody will spoil your fun. Brago might get killed off until he’s taxed out of sight, might get hit with various whammies to disable him, or whatever. So it helps to include some other ways to enable blink as well…


There’s no sense being too redundant, but as you’ll see, some of these parts work well with combos in the deck.

deadeye_drake_combo
Maxim #3: Include at least one combo.

Many players dislike having combos at all. Some playgroups ban them. I consider at least one simple infinite combo to be mandatory in every single deck. Here’s why: It gives you a definitive way to end games. EDH is a format infested with endless control decks that sit there blowing up everything every turn without having a way to finish the game, so it drags on for centuries. For those of us with day jobs, we prefer games to end within a few calendar pages of when they started.

Our combo engine parts:


These are somewhat interchangeable. The best is Drake with Navigator: Tap five lands, spend two mana to have Navigator bounce Drake, Drake untaps five lands, and we’re back where we started but we’ve produced three additional mana. Or Witch can bounce Drake for a one-shot per turn. This can also work with Cloud of Faeries, because we’ll be running a couple karoo lands (Azorius Chancery and Coral Atoll) so Faeries can untap four mana but be bounced with two from Navigator. Finally, we can use Ghostly Flicker to flicker Archaeomancer and Peregrine Drake, Archy returning the Flicker to our hand each time and Drake untapping five mana for every three we spend to repeat the loop.

Maxim #3a: Your combo parts should be good on their own without the combo.

This is so easy to do in Brago. Brago flickering Archaeomancer to get back a Brainstorm is good value all by itself.

So we can make infinite mana and infinite blink. Now what do we do with it?
angel_army

Payloads:


Wait, we’re not done! We want ways to find these combos!
inspector_clouseau

Maxim #4: About one fourth of the nonland cards in an EDH deck should be utility.

Utility = land fetching, mana fixing, card draw, and tutors. This is necessary, because EDH being a 99-card singleton format, every deck runs them. So if your deck doesn’t, it will fail. Our standard mana rocks kit includes…


Brago can untap any mana rock (besides Worn Powerstone) after he connects, so we get extra value out of these and in the case of Monolith, we’re not shy about having them tapped.

Our recursion package…


Our tutor package…

  • * Heliod’s Pilgrim – Fetches auras for Brago and another utility we’ll cover later.
  • * Taj-Nar Swordsmith – Fetches equipment. This is our budget answer to Stoneforge Mystic. Costs more mana, but otherwise does the same job.
  • * Trinket Mage – Fetches Altar of the Brood, Sol Ring, and a couple of other odd jobs. We’re including two artifact lands, Ancient Den and Seat of the Synod, to make sure he earns his keep.
  • * Fabricate – Artifacts are pretty important to our overall strategy.

And finally, our straight card advantage package…


Ponder, Preordain, Brainstorm, and Impulse are the holy quaternity of blue cantrips, the first ones you should reach for in any blue deck. We’re going a little overboard here because UW decks need to fly – we’re already short of things like tutoring and mana ramping in our colors, so we need to at least be sure to maximize our advantages.
trollface

Maxim #5: Once your deck’s plan is in place, fill the rest with interaction.

This is where Brago shines, and where lots of players moan how they hate facing Brago. Wait until you see our dirty tricks package…

  • * Angel of Serenity – We’ve met already.
  • * Fiend Hunter – Zap a creature.
  • * Lavinia of the Tenth – A devastating blowout, shuts down most decks. Note that it hits opponent mana rocks and everything. If we can blink her every turn, we’ve won.
  • * Luminate Primordial – Zap a creature more permanently.
  • * Lyev Skyknight – Note that it detains any nonland permanent, so you can use this to pin down a planeswalker or troublesome enchantment as well.
  • * Nevermaker – Nasty! Blinking him two or more times per turn means game over for most opponents. He’s also a deterrent against anybody attacking you with anything bigger than a peanut.
  • * Reflector Mage – Just a must-have. Good against troublesome opponent generals.
  • * Stonehorn Dignitary – Can’t believe he’s a common! Blinking this guy can mean shutting another player out of combat permanently.

Add a tiny little package of control spells…


We like to keep our control spells as general purpose as possible. We already have so much control coming from Brago’s blinking bastards that opponents will be pulling their hair out with all their stuff exiled, detained, or bounced.

As for Cyclonic Rift, I am ready to call that the most powerful spell in the entire EDH format. Cast it for overload and it’s a full blowout for everybody else, every time. If you can recur it with a bouncing Archy every turn, nobody should be able to wiggle out of the lockdown. There are some who are calling for a ban, and I’d almost agree, but until it is, run it in every blue deck.
strionic_resonator_combo

Maxim #6: Now include some good stuff.

“Good stuff” can be spare win conditions, extra combo pieces, flashy tricks, and tech. Since our deck already has some formidable threats to present, including some flying bricks, we don’t pay too much attention here.

  • * Rite of Replication – Is there ever a time when five copies of the best creature on the table is a bad thing?
  • * Palisade Giant and Shielded by Faith – One more tutor target for Heliod’s Pilgrim. Our side quest is to get the Giant Shielded, and then we can’t take any damage at all! Yes, read the cards, it even protects our permanents. Until our opponents figure out how to undo that knot (don’t worry, they will), we get some breathing room to assemble our wincons in peace.
  • * Strionic Resonator – Because one good turn deserves another.  I should mention that it’s a bundle of combos with the rest of the deck too, but I regard it as mostly good utility even without combos.
  • * Spine of Ish Sah – An unusual bit of tech, but Brago can bounce this. Yes, Spine says “permanent,” lands too!
  • * Tormod’s Crypt – Some people consider graveyard tech to be unfair. But EDH is played far too much from the graveyard. Look at the Sidisi deck we showcased a couple weeks back; don’t you want graveyard tech against that?
  • * Karmic Justice – Just too good not to include in white. Stops those wraths. You’ve noticed we don’t play wraths? That’s because Brago benefits from a loaded field, and we have so much evasion and control parts that we don’t care if our opponent keeps a few goblin tokens out there.
  • * Crystal Ball – Our budget answer to Sensei’s Divining Top. The scry is just good selection in UW, and Brago can of course get a second shot out of it.
land_lots
Maxim #7: Uh, land?

Fine, you knew that. My build runs 37 land, of which some notable tech includes…


You can guess we fill in the rest with duals, fetches, and basics. Voila, we’re done!

Other Brago builds and resources…

There’s many more cards that others play in Brago; these are just a quick example I pulled together. For other resources…

Survivor another one bites the blindside another one bites the dust of the blindside ha ha!!

Well stick foot in mouth now Paul and see what happens not to surprised he got voted out he opened his flap and that got him into trouble which you know I am sorry I am glad he got voted out. Now they have a new dictator from what I listen to on next weeks show on GEN X team. I saw that it was Lucy and she keeps that up she will go right after Paul . Why people try that and make is so obvious is beyond me but there mistake IMO to.

I really want the power couple over on the Millennial team out and that would be Figgy mainly the guy can stay she is IMO trouble to JMO. I think they did well on the puzzle I have to give them that and I do like Will and Zeke so far on the Millennial side. Will seems like a smart kid and playing the game like you should he learned from the GEN X that day talked to them because he realizes that sooner or later when they merge he will have to team up with one or more to get him further in the game.

I am enjoying this season so far its interesting to say least thought Id like it but wasn't to sure id like many on the Milennial side at all but I did. Some of them seem to have there heads on straight for most part lol but the other four who seem to be stuck together Figgy,Taylor, Michelle and Jay but Jay seems to be a smart kid to so far we shall see .





So on that note everyone may your day or evening be a great one enjoy family and friends and life in general and lets all try to be happy and give a little peace is nice to :)

 Survivor blindside bites the dust wow lol!

Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
We got our first blindside on the last episode of Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X and this week it's our first twist in the game (that is, if you don't count the Legacy Advantage). Is it already time for a swap or a tribe shake-up or is it something completely different? Let's find out in "Your Job is Recon."

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X Recap: If The Shelter's Rockin', Don't Come A-Knockin' >>>

Post-Vote Blues

Adam and Zeke are upset after the vote at Millennial camp. They congratulate Figgy and Taylor for their sly moves, but little do they know that it was really Michelle and Jay pulling the strings. Anyway, Figgy says it's one of them going home next since they wrote her name down. Okay, Figgy. Well only if your boss Michelle says that's okay.

Hannah tries to talk to Adam and Zeke about why she switched her vote at the last minute. Zeke asks her politely to give him space, but Hannah doesn't really know what that means and she keeps pestering them. Every time Zeke asks her to go away, she merely responds by continuing to state her case. It's really annoying!

She finally goes away long enough for Zeke and Adam to have a moment to themselves. Adam says that playing this game has been his dream his whole life and he's disappointed, to say the least, that he has to play from the bottom.

At the Gen-X camp, David, CeCe and Ken lament how they're on the bottom. Ken is especially irritated at Paul, who he says isn't bringing anything positive to the tribe. David still has a bit of hope because he found an idol, but right now, things aren't looking so great.

Recon Picnic

Both tribes get tree mail that calls for a summit on a separate island. They each have to draw rocks and four people from each tribe go to the other island for a picnic and some R&R. Will, Taylor, Figgy and Jay are representing the Millennials and Chris, David, CeCe and Paul are the Gen-X ambassadors.

Paul tries to connect with the Millennials during their meal. He says that those young ones will like having an old guy around who is like their dad. But mostly, he's just irritating David more and more, if that's even possible.

Figgy and Taylor ask David and CeCe about how things stand on their tribe. At first they're pretty slick, saying that Paul's on the top but not giving away much more. But as soon as it's just David and Taylor alone, David makes a desperate plea. He says that no matter what, he's willing to flip on his Gen-X tribe mates if necessary. At least he's talking to Taylor, who may not even realize the value of that information, but David definitely said too much.

Back at the Gen-X camp, Ken tries to pitch the idea of getting rid of Paul to Jessica, whose eyes have slightly improved since we last saw her. Jessica likes Ken and she appreciates that he provides for their tribe, but she feels comfortable in her majority alliance.

Over at Millennial beach, it's Adam attempting to politic while the Triforce alliance are frolicking in the water. He tells Hannah and Michaela that if they get Figgy out, they can change the climate of the game. He says that now is the time to break up that alliance because they might not have another shot going forward. Michaela admits that she's considering it, especially because she doesn't like Figgy at all.

Conquering the Balance Beam

Not only are the Survivors competing for immunity this week, but also a comfort reward, which means hammocks, chairs and pillows. Each tribe has to race over and under obstacles and then have to carry heavy bags of sandbags across a balance beam. Then they have to use sandbags to knock over blocks. Once they're all knocked over, they have to re-assemble the phrase as a puzzle.

The bags are clearly very heavy and while both tribes zoom through the obstacles, the balance beam isn't as easy. In the time it takes CeCe to cross, three Millennials move bags across the beams. They're also utilizing the strategy of letting Taylor go back and bring multiple bags over.

The Millennials have a huge head start, and even though Ken makes a valiant effort knocking over blocks with sandbags, it isn't enough. Michelle and Zeke barrel through the puzzle to win immunity for the Millennials.

Jay asks Jeff if they can trade in comfort items for fishing gear. Jeff says that the only way he can okay that is if the Gen-X tribe agrees to it. And surprise, surprise, they don't agree. Michaela says that if they were their parents, they would have wanted them to eat, but they're probably upset that they keep getting beat by a bunch of kids. Well said Michaela.

Should the Legacy Advantage Replace Hidden Immunity on Survivor? >>>

Keeping the Tribe Strong

Chris and Paul agree that it needs to be CeCe that goes home tonight. She's bad at challenges and she's not in the majority alliance, so her time is up. Sunday and Jessica agree that they have to keep the team strong.

CeCe is rightfully worried that it's going to be her. No one will talk to her besides Ken and David and that's not enough numbers to do anything. They want to target Paul, but it's a long shot to make anything happen.

Jessica and Sunday talk to Paul about what's going on. She says that they're all strong as long as Paul can tell them he doesn't have sub-alliance with the other guys. Paul tells them of course he doesn't have a sub-alliance, but if he did, he would just say, "see you later," to the ladies.

Umm, how does he not know that that's the wrong thing to say?! Jessica is immediately conspiring with Lucy and Sunday about getting Paul out before he can turn on them.

QUIZ: Which Reality TV Show Should You Compete On?

Tribal Council

Jeff asks the Gen-X'ers what it was like going to the summit. David said he saw the Millennials as peers and there's a mutual respect between tribes. He says this experience has been helping him cope with his anxiety and tear down his negative energy.

CeCe says she's nervous because there's a 90 percent chance she's going home tonight. She felt proud to finish her leg of the challenge on the balance beam, but Jeff oh-so-kindly reminds her how long it took. He gives them a hard time about being in Gen-X and only doing things one way while the Millennials do things more efficiently.

After CeCe reveals that there's an alliance of six and three people on the bottom, Jeff asks Chris how he manages the roles in a majority group that big. Chris says it's too early for people to be worrying about where they stand in a big alliance.

Paul says that the paranoia among the bottom three must be high, but he's sitting pretty right now. Jessica hopes that tonight's vote will make the tribe stronger moving forward.

To the Vote!

Paul, Bret and Chris vote for CeCe. But the women of the majority alliance jump ship and vote with the bottom for Paul. Paul is completely blindsided. Even in his final words, he has no idea what happened or who voted for him. Little does he know that he dug his own grave.

What did you think of the summit? Did the ladies make the right decision voting out Paul? Who will be Gen-X's new leader?

Coming up: There's a power shift in the Gen-X tribe.
