Reality TV Remix is my blog place where I will share things from movies,80s music, reality TV Shows . Place to read and for me to share my thoughts on whatever is on my mind. So please enjoy,comment when your able to and most of all have fun to!
Leave me a comment love to hear from everyone . NO bashing or flaming will be allowed here and lets act our age and not our shoe size. I will ban and block anyone who can't not follow these simple rules.
Last night show was awesome loved that Lauren found the hidden advantage for her game. Now I like Lauren she is playing smart IMO keeps some things to herself for the most part unlike others in that tribe :) Cole could not keep a secret if his life depended on it out there in this game!
Jeff talks about how nobody knew about the secret advantage and there was not a vote from her. I was taken by that to he didn't say anything but he knew.
On that note here is the article enjoy sorry no posts in a bit busy life but been watching the show every week and will try to get posting some more soon.
Have a great day everyone stay safe and be kind to one another :)
Each week, Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode of Survivor: Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers.
ENTERTAINMENT
WEEKLY: We saw a big wrestling match under the tribe flag for an idol
that was not even there because Ryan had already gotten it. But what
would have happened there if two people grabbed it and wrestled over it?
We know that one person cannot take an idol that already belongs to
someone else, but what if two people are both grabbing it at the same
time and both claim ownership? How far would you let people go in terms
of trying to wrestle it away from each other?JEFF PROBST:
Fun question. The short answer is we always endeavor to let players
figure it out on their own. So if you’re in a wrestling match for an
idol, don’t let go! But interestingly, that is never a problem. There is
this strange integrity that is shared by all players when it comes to
the unspoken rules of Survivor. Everybody understands there is a format and a few very small rules that you don’t mess with.
A
somewhat similar situation is when one player finds the clue to an idol
and shares it with their alliance member and it’s the alliance member
who ends up finding the idol. There is no debate about who should get
it. You may be frustrated, but players don’t whine about that stuff. The
longer the show goes, the more admiration I have for those who play. It
takes a lot to deal with everything Survivor throws at you.
Interesting
twist here by making the reward feast winners eat one at a time, with
Joe picking the order. First off, if you were on that reward, would you
want to pick the order or not? And if someone picked you to go first or
second, how much would you eat?This
format is so damn good. You can’t say no to winning a reward, but
winning a reward always comes with complications or an invoice of some
kind. In this case, if I won and had to choose the order, I would go
last. I would trust that my amazing generosity would work out for me in
some way — if not with this actual reward then maybe down the line when I
needed a favor. But if I was chosen to eat first, I would eat more than
my fair share and then lie about it. This game is about seizing the
best opportunity of any situation. I can go light or dark. Angel or
devil. It’s a game.
Take
me through how you all workshopped this advantage idea of someone being
able to not cast a vote and save it for a future Tribal Council and why
you all decided to put it into play?We
did just what you suggest. We workshopped it. We talked through it as a
creative team, which means we role-play and try to find problems. We
did the math repeatedly to make sure this wouldn’t create a problem down
the line. We anticipated tie votes and how it might play out. We run
every scenario we can think of, and if we find a problem we can’t solve,
then the twist is out. We take no chances.
From
our standpoint, this was a fun one because it required the player to
“act” and do a fake out. Lauren played it beautifully. Talk about a
player who is surprising people. She is so savvy and now she has a
powerful advantage. This is maybe the best part of the job. A bunch of
us goofballs sit around in a room and come up with fun ideas to throw
into the middle of a great game. How did I end up here?
FOLLOW-UP
QUESTION: There were 11 players at Tribal Council but only 10 votes
read because Lauren played her advantage. Did nobody notice that a vote
was missing, or did some people ask about it but that got cut out in the
editing?Cut
out of editing? Are you nuts? We were HOPING someone would notice and
have it cause an issue back at camp. That was the risk Lauren was
taking. But as you’ll see next episode, barely a word was spoken. One
reason for this, and a reason we felt safe trying this, is that expert Survivor
fans know I don’t always read all the votes. I only read as many votes
as I need to until we know the verdict. So if you have eight votes and
one player gets five, then it doesn’t matter whom the other three are
for. It’s game over. That’s what makes this an advantage we can use
again. If you get lucky and play this advantage on a night when there
are extra votes…. nobody would ever know.
Okay, it’s time, sir. Hit us up with a tease for next week.I
don’t have a specific tease but holy smokes the game is on fire right
now. People are playing BIG and anytime you play big, you risk making a
mistake. I love big players because I still believe, despite what some
think, that in order to win you have to be willing to go for
it. Otherwise, you are simply living a lie in which you are actually
okay with “just making the jury.” I stand by this 100 percent. Go big or
just stay home. We have a lot of people who are playing big. Much more
story to come.
I believe Chrissy head is getting a bit big for her body IMO okay yeah yeah she talked her way in no one voting her out last night! She should of been the one to go and Ryan fell for Chrissy BS he is a good guy I like Ryan but really you know Chrissy should of gone last night she did horribly in the challenge .
Yeah she did say she asked if anyone else wanted to take over no one answered till Roake said she would but Chrissy was already on the balance beam. So clearly Chrissy outsmarted some to make others in her tribe to keep her. I think she is a good player I do though I stopped somewhat liking her when she didn't use the super idol to save Katrina. I liked Katrina she was fun IMO.
Joe is another one who needs to go but then Cole was something else really licking everything in site gross dude! I wonder if that is why he passes out on next week show due to dehydrated not enough water not sure. I guess we will find out next week what happens which I wish sometimes Survivor was on more than once a week.
Last night immunity challenge was fun for once not a puzzle refreshing LOL! I love all the challenges but they need to find other challenges to have the players do. Puzzles when I see them I think of Boston Rob is who I think of when it comes to puzzles!
So on that note folks till next week be kind to one another smile most of all don't stoop to the other person level of ignorance when in that kind of situation.
I’m kind of a germaphobe. Not a super crazy one, mind you. Well, on second thought, maybe I am
a super crazy one. When anyone in my family gets sick I basically
quarantine myself off from all of them. There may or may not have been
an incident where my sick daughter came up to me with tears in her eyes
sobbing, “Daddy, I don’t feel well. I need a hug,” only to get the
response, “Daddy’s hugs cost $5 billion dollars. Go see your mother.” I
may or may not be known for carrying Purell in my pocket for immediate
emergency hand cleansing after an inordinate amount of hand shaking. And
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have been accused of pretending
not to see someone just so I can avoid any and all bodily contact.
Which is why I almost straight-up hurled watching Cole on this latest episode of Survivor. The dude was just licking…everything! And I realize that may sound disgusting, but trust me, in this case it was even more
disgusting than it sounds. He was licking spoons. He was licking
fingers. He was licking jars. There was so much licking going on I
half-thought he was merely paying homage to everyone’s favorite
Caucasian Canadian reggae artist, because homeboy was all “licky boom
boom down” on anything that moved. The Snow comparison actually tracks
because with all the secrets Cole has been spilling, he certainly could
be referred to as an “Informer.” But then I remembered that Canadians
aren’t allowed on Survivor so there goes that theory. (That’s so unfair, eh?)
Seriously, what the hell? We saw Cole basically have mouth sex with a spoon, then put the spoon back in the jar for other people to enjoy his sloppy seconds. I mean, I know dating a virgin can lead to some — um…frustration, we’ll call it — but cheating on Jessica with a spoon? Dude, that’s rough. And now other people are expected to use
that spoon? Honestly, this was my worst nightmare. It’s like the
world’s most extreme case of double-dipping. (Speaking of which, when
will human beings realize the solution to avoid double-dipping is to
simply break the chip in half before dipping. That way you can
dip each side of the chip once and yet still get two dips per chip? When
will our national nightmare end?)

Every time the camera cut to Cole licking his fingers I threw up a
little bit in mouth. To make matters worse, Lauren accused Cole — no
doubt already sexually aroused after his tryst with the spoon — of
fondling his own man parts in between dipping his hands into the
communal peanut butter and jelly. Again, I’m trying to give the
guy the benefit of the doubt considering he’s dating a virgin, but if I
were out there and had the choice between either starving or eating
Cole’s crotch jelly, then I’d be starving. And have you seen me? I’m so
scrawny I make Ryan look like the freakin’ Rock. I can’t afford to
starve or else a moderate-to-strong breeze will just carry me away.
Jeez, the licking of the spoon? The crotch fondling? Shouldn’t the Sex
Doctor be weighing in on all of this? Isn’t that why he’s there? Do you
really expect me to believe it is mere coincidence that Cole, the Sex
Doctor, and the virgin all ended up on the same tribe? Au contraire, mon
frère.
As much as I talk about putting up with nonsense and not letting
personal feelings get in the way of strategic decisions, these Cole
shenanigans might push me over the edge. Hell, when someone covers a
sneeze with their hands instead of vampire sneezing into their elbow, that
pushes me over the edge, so you can imagine how I would feel about
this. Along with blabbing everyone’s secrets to everyone for no reason,
that’s two strikes against Cole — and it looks like he may be out next
week…at least passed out, judging by the preview.
Okay, we need to get through the rest of the episode, culminating in a
big decision for Ryan that I am warning you right now I will spend waaaaaay
too much time dissecting the pros and cons of. Yes, I just ended a
sentence in a grammatically incorrect fashion. That’s how off the chain
things are going to get this week! But really quickly — because I always
need a minimum of one off-topic tangent per paragraph — I am going to
have to not-so-sneakily transition into the role of shameless salesman
for a minute. If you’re a Survivor fan — and I have to assume
you are, otherwise I have NO IDEA why you would be reading this (it’s
certainly not for the prose) — I must recommend you read an amazing Survivor
piece that posted yesterday. I can call it amazing because I did not
write it. Rather, former players did. Thirty-five of them, to be exact.
To help celebrate season 35, I asked 35 former players to share their
fondest memories from their time on the show, and what they responded
with is a mix of humor, heart, and just plain weirdness. I am not
exaggerating in the least when I say that you actually may laugh and cry
while reading it, so please do yourself a favor and check it out right here.
Tangent done! Let’s recap this S.O.B! Joe Can Read Minds! I wrote last week
that Joe was probably full of it in saying that he could read Ashley’s
face and that’s why he kept the idol for himself. And I do maintain that
he still was partly full of it because I don’t think there was any
chance he was going to actually part with the idol and allow himself to
be vulnerable to being voted out. And let’s be clear: That’s not a dig
at Joe. I wouldn’t have shared my idol in that spot either.
But just because he would not have given up the idol does not mean
Ashley did not tip him off with her facial reaction, and according to
everyone there, that’s exactly what she did. First, Probst backed up
Joe’s account in our weekly Q&A. Then Alan confirmed it as well
— even after saying how much he could not stand the guy — and now at
the start of the episode, even the guilty party in Ashley ‘fesses up,
saying, “I caught myself as soon as I did it.” So let’s give credit
where credit is due. But let’s also be real: No way Joe gives up that
idol, no mater what Ashley’s face says. And nor should he have. (Recap continues on next page)
Starts out with Jeff saying "Come in guys" to "drop your buffs"! Then commercial really LOL! Its like they love to tease you with a good start then BANG Commercial haha! So it comes back everyone gets a new buff and anyone who had to put up with at the time I felt this true with Alan. Then Joe slithers in with his bizarre idiotic idea to stir things up almost the same as Alan did but different.
Below is a youtube video of some of the fun of drop your buffs lol! With commentary of course !
I truly did not see Alan going last night I wanted more than anyone for Joe to go last night. Okay he used his idol on himself which going back on his word to Desi that he would use it on her. To bad he didn't use it for her and watched his sorry butt go :)~ ! NO I never really liked Joe another lose cannon IMO and he is ignorant to JMO in the game. Now in real life I can't really say what he is like but being a parole Officer I think it is oh wait a Corrections officer that sounds about right.
Now then we have a rewards challenge his new tribe doesn't win then he wants to talk about who to vote out after the immunity challenge opens mouth puts foot in it and puts a target on his back well it got him to use his idol lets hope he doesn't find another one please someone else find it not him! I think his tribe maybe keep a close eye on him to we shall see.
Oh before I forget Cole really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut telling everyone about Jessica advantage WOW! Last week though when he told everyone that Joe had an idol he was with him okay that is on him and Jessica didn't need to get all up on him about it that was his decision not hers. But this last night telling everyone about her advantage was not his place he just doesn't know how to keep secrets and things to himself I see him going not to far down the road maybe after the merge we shall see.
All in all I could not believe most of went down I felt for Alan started to like him as I seen he had chilled then again that could of been for the time and moment who knows. Joe needed to go last night but saved himself after going back on his word to Desi don't care if he used the idol but he said to her he would use it on her if I remember that right.
Have a great day may we all try to be kind to one another ! On that note till next week for more Survivor thoughts :)
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers' Tribe Swap Brings Drama in 'I Don't Like Having Snakes Around'
Courtesy of CBS
[This recap contains spoilers for the Wednesday, October 18 episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.]
Farewell, Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers. You were not the
best of arbitrarily divided themes, but now you're done and it's time to
get to the business of actually playing Survivor.
And wouldn't you know it? The season's first episode after a
pre-credit tribal swap was easily the best episode of the season,
establishing that even if this season doesn't have any clear heroes, it
at least has an entertaining villain and some other entertaining
oddities. Plus, one player full-on became Keanu Reeves before our eyes
and if that's not entertaining, I don't know what is.
The tribal swap eliminated the randomly determined tribes and, as the
best of tribal swaps do, it underlined several available storylines
moving forward, without establishing clearly mismatched new clans.
Instead of Heroes, Healers and Hustlers, we now have: Soko - The yellow-buffed tribe is made up of JP,
Ryan, Ali, Chrissy, Roark. Roark, the season's most invisible player
thus far, is the only former Healer on a tribe in which we're getting at
least partial fulfillment on the promise of Chekhov's Immunity
Super-Idol, with the uniting of Ryan and Chrissy. It's funny that Ryan
said he gifted Chrissy with the idol because of the vibe he got from her
and even funnier that Chrissy says that getting the idol made her feel
loved, but since I like Chrissy and I like Ryan, I'll allow it. Because
what was Ryan going to do? Say, "I looked at the composition of the
tribe and I knew that either you or Katrina would be the weakest player
and therefore the clear target"? No. He was not going to say that. And
what was Chrissy going to do? Say, "Thanks for assuming I was weak, that
was… sweet." No, she was not going to say that. Yawa - The red-buffed tribe consists of Jessica,
Cole, Mike, Lauren and Ben. Yes, that means that
healer-of-the-economically disadvantaged model Cole and his virginal bae
Jessica are still together, giving more opportunities to Jessica to
realize that her infatuation with Cole is abdominal-deep. Also,
separating Mike from his emotional blackmailer Joe is probably good for
Mike's spirit, if not his game. And yes, that's three former Healers on
one tribe, which would seem to bode well for the long-term hopes of that
tribe, if you believe that a group of people with no real unifying
characteristics will be faithful to the people they spent nine days with
when they're brought back together again later. Levu - The blue-buffed tribe includes Ashley, Alan,
Desi, Joe and Devon. So that's two former Healers, in Desi and Joe, plus
two former Heroes, in Alan and Ashley. But the two former Heroes happen
to be people who were at each other's throats from the beginning. Plus,
in Alan and Joe, the Levu tribe got the two players most likely to stir
things up for no reason.
And? Guess what? Wednesday's episode revolved heavily around Levu and
before going to tribal council, Joe and Alan both found a way to get up
in each other's business, because that's who they are and Survivor probably
wishes they could have put in another couple weeks of mutual
irritation. Oh well. And Joe, who I hate in the way you're supposed to
hate Survivor villains, ended up winning the day after making a mess of the day in the first place.
Did Joe really figure that he could tell Devon that the former Heroes
wanted to vote him out without the Heroes making a plea of their own to
the surf instructor? And did Joe really figure that whatever plea
Ashley or Alan made wouldn't come across as more sincere? Surely Joe
knows he's one of the least sincere-seeming people in the world? So Joe
sullied his own good name by accident, but then turned around and tried
making it to his advantage by badgering everybody pre-tribal in the
hopes that he would put the target on himself so that he could play his
own hidden idol, except that he somehow shifted the target more toward
Desi, who demanded Joe play the idol for her as a sign of solidarity. So
then at the tribal, Joe played his idol, but claiming he was able to
read Ashley's eyes, he played it for himself and this was exactly
correct. Ashley and Alan's votes against Joe were thrown out. Joe and
Desi's votes against Alan stuck. Bye, Alan. Well-played, Joe, even if it
would have been much more spiritually satisfying for Joe to have given
the idol to Desi and then gone home in embarrassment. I obviously can't
say for sure if Joe really did read Ashley's eyes or if he really never
had any intention of giving her the idol, because no matter how loudly
he protested, "giving somebody else an idol" doesn't feel like the sort
of thing Joe would do. Alan and Ashley just chose poorly.
And that's before you get to poor Devon. He got a note saying he had
an advantage that he couldn't open before tribal, but then he got to
tribal and discovered that the advantage had been used against him,
nullifying his vote. The neutralizing of Devon let him opine "That is
not an advantage" Keanu-style and let us witness the excitement dim in
his eyes. It didn't matter, of course. Had Devon been able to vote,
there would have been three votes negated against Joe instead of two.
The vote itself was unchanged. The funny twist would have been if Joe
had given the idol to Desi and it had become a tie. That did not happen.
The advantage was played against Devon by Jessica, presumably to
protect Desi and Joe, her fellow Healers. I'm not sure I get that
choice. Jessica, who found the advantage in a bag of reward chips,
wanted to keep the Healers strong and the tribe that had to go to tribal
had two Healers, two Heroes and one Hustler. Voting Devon out would
have been a no-brainer for Levu — get rid of the outlier, worry about
the tie later -- in which case snubbing Devon's vote would have been
worthless. But what if Joe had successfully stirred Devon's paranoia and
he had been wrangled in to vote against Ashley and then his vote was
neutralized and Jessica had forced a tie herself? Why would she not have
used the advantage to take a vote away from one of the Heroes and
strengthen the Healers advantage? Right?
Just seems odd to me. Maybe Jessica was distracted and confused by
trying to figure out, for the second straight episode, why her beau hunk
would tell people not aligned with them about something she thought was
her secret. Or his secret, for that matter. Last week, Cole was telling
anybody who would listen about Joe's idol, weakening the exclusivity of
his knowledge in the name of alliance-building. That wasn't Cole's
idol, but it was at least his knowledge. This week, he just sold out
Jessica's advantage to Lauren and Cowboy Ben in the hopes that they
would trust him eventually.
"He hurt me, whether he meant to or not," Jessica sniffled.
She added, "When I'm hurt, I always wonder, 'Was it me?'"
Poor Jessica. She has been hurt. She hopped in bed, metaphorically, with a guy who has a good sense of Survivor strategy, but no sense of Survivor
pace and restraint. I'm really, really rooting for Jessica to come to
her senses and stab Cole in the back. Soon. If she doesn't do it, he'll
screw things up for her himself.
Let's get to some bottom lines... Bottom Line, I. How many of Jeff Probst's Foo
Fighters references did you get during the immunity challenge? There was
"You are looking for both the color and the shape" and "In times like
these, you need a little luck" and "You have to finish this, no matter
however long it takes. Otherwise, it's a long road to ruin... at tribal
council." There was at least one other that I think I noticed at the
beginning, something about "weight" and I believe there was supposed to
be a sixth. I'm not sure where. I'm also not sure why. But that's
between Probst and the Survivor gods. Bottom Line, II. I'm still sad for Jessica. The
emotional betrayal courtesy of Cole was bad enough, but to get no real
use out of something she was so pleased with! She thought it was a sign
of her angel tapping her on the shoulder and saying "Bing!" and since
Jessica is really religious, she actually may have meant that
literally. Bottom Line, III. With "I don't like having snakes
around," Devon got the episodic title quote. That was more generous of
the Survivor editors than honoring him for the also Keanu-esque, "That
was a crazy one. What the hell just happened?" He could have saved time
by just saying, "Whoa." Bottom Line, IV. Since Roark got some exposure for
her several seconds as odd-woman-out in her tribe and since Desi took an
unwanted spotlight as potential target in hers, that left JP has this
week's invisible castaway. Without Ashley to ogle him, JP could vanish
for the rest of the season and just reemerge in the finale with a string
of fish wondering how he made it so far.
Bottom Line, V. I don't quite get why Alan was Joe
and Desi's target other than, "Well, he was." One minute Joe was calling
Ashley out as the tribe's weak link and that, relatively speaking, may
have been right. It's not that I disagree with voting Alan out. It's
just odd for a player as out there as Alan to get voted out without real
cause. It just didn't feel like Joe was punishing Alan as a threat.
Hardly matters. No sweat.
The Toy Box is what my TV Guide said while I am searching for a show to watch. I turn to it and if it wasn't really pretty good. It reminded me of the movie Big because it was about toys for kids or a kid who turns into adult over night.
No this show was actually really good what a clever idea having kids to judge the toys who knew :) ! I thought the kids were entertaining specially the two boys and one the I think 9 yr old girl lol! I liked the oldest girl on there she was 12 Olivia I think was her name.
Anyhow, I truly enjoyed it refreshing at the least to watch something and like it! Now it wasn't my usual HGTV shows I love to watch or Big Brother which is done for the season and it wasn't Wed night Survivor either. But boy I know I have said this like 5 times maybe more but I loved it the show that is!
Inventors would come out show there toy to the kids they would come play with it and at one point some guy came out with a toy you yell at ha ha omg that was dumb! Sorry but it was the oldest girl sat in her chair didn't get up but voted No on it good and thank god !
From what I gather not all the judges are the same but some are regulars and others on and off from what I think I am understanding.
I did like the inventors of the Water works construction I believe was what it was called. Now that was fun kids can build it anyhow they want. Hook a hose to it and play all kinds of imaginative ideas you could have. http://abc.go.com/shows/the-toy-box/video/most-recent/vdka4111527 The link above takes you to the episode and this young couple IMO nailed it! Here is a youtube episode as well different episode but just as good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik2DsG6pUhw
These were the judges on last night Noah he cracked me up for a young kid so did Emma. Olivia was good sharp young girl 12 yrs old. Kyle and Patton at the end were pretty funny to. So enjoy the show take a look thought id write this one up because hey its TV reality its a show and I don't always just have to write about Survivor or Big Brother but I will :) always do that lol! Thanks for reading my post on my thoughts on this show. May your day be filled with laughter,fun with family and friends! Kimberly TV REALITY MOM
