Survivor: Nicaragua - Life at Ponderosa (Alina Pt. 2)

Survivor: Nicaragua - Life at Ponderosa (Alina Pt. 1)

False Survivor Spoilers A Ploy By The Producers?

All right so we all now know that the previously formidable Survivor spoiler missaye has seen his/her stock drop in that community big time after the tidbits that he/she was sharing about the Rob VS Russell season turned out to be complete bunk. Specifically speaking, the whole Carrie Prejean, Kimbo Slice appearances and the fact Prejean helps Rob out etc. That all apparently didnt happen. Word is that whoever the source was for this info did this as a means to throw off the Survivor spoiling community from completely ruining the season after S19 and S20 H VS V were totally destroyed with the release of 100 percent accurate boot lists. So the fight is now on to keep everything a secret as we head to S22.

Now I have no idea if there is a boot list out there for S21 (the current season) as I havent wanted to look for it due to the fact that this season has been pretty enjoyable. Either way there is no doubt that the leaks seem to be harder and harder to come by....that is until the supposed bombshell that was let out by this Salamander person of which I posted halfway down the page. Either way this is a battle that will continue so long as Survivor and other reality shows like it tape their episodes. The only thing that could change this was if Survivor was shown LIVE of which only the finale is to this point. My idea as crazy as it sounds is to in fact do a LIVE Survivor edition during the summer when there is very little original programming to combat it. Run the show like normal and have a new episode every three days. Yes it would be risky but do you honestly think that ratings would fall due to this concept? I actually think they would go up due to the curiosity factor of an unscripted or unedited season and the fact that nothing would be spoiled. Just a thought. What do you think?

Survivor Spoilers FollowUp: Rob VS Russell

All right so this is pretty interesting. It appears that the place where I found the spoiler that I shared with your all below has now totally disappeared from the place that I found it at. There is no sign of it anywhere. In fact the whole thread that had follow up posts on it is missing now. That leads me to seriously think two things: 1). It is the most legit Survivor 22 spoiler to date AND 2). Due to its validity, the good folks at Survivor demanded it to be removed from that site so as not to spoil the season. Interesting thought huh? So far nothing has come my way ordering me to remove the post but I wouldnt be surprised if I got a message about it. Either way it sounds much more plausible than the other garbage that was put out there apparently intentionally to throw people off.

Survivor Spoilers: Rob VS Russell....DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED!!

All right I know on the heels of the missaye disaster that potential Survivor 22 spoilers are dangerous territory but I would be doing all of you a disservice if I didnt post some of this info I just came across. This latest bit of spoilers comes from a guy named Salamander and boy is it detailed. Stop reading now if you dont want to POTENTIALLY be spoiled. As always take it for whats its worth and dont shoot the messenger if it is wrong. Sounds good to me. Scroll down for the information.


















I know I have posted bad info before Anti but that was just to screw around. I swear if people check these they will check out cause they are true. Pleas wait before you lock this cause both these people really are on. This is not Missyaes fan-fic. I will absolutly not reveal where I got this info from but more will follow once they are to atleast top 5 in Survivor Nicaragua... -Johnny Chan (World Champion Poker Player) was there (Did VERY well)

-Woman named Charla Guillory was there.-1st Boot

Russell and Rob were both there that is not fan fic. Rob lasted longer though then first believed here. Russell was boot before Merge (Juror #1). Rob was F6 boot.....

I can shed some light on the whole Redemption Island thing.
Example: Boot #1 loses to Boot #2 In Redemption Island Challenge. Boot #2 stays, and Boot #1 is out of the game.

Russells team dominated Premerge wins (6/8) immunity challenges. Merge at 12. Robs team is decimated to Rob and 3 women. Russell (Premerge Boot, Juror #1-For Now), and lone female are Premerge boots.

Russell goes onto Redemption Island beats the first guy. 4 females are booted in a row, (ALL the challenges are physical so Russell wins). Finally an Alpha male is booted (Someone who can actually be a contender). Beats Russell but Probst and team say he is disqualified cause he stepped out of his lane during the challenge. I have no clue if this was just or unjust but what I heard was it was a pretty shitty call. Down to to 7. Next 2 boots are both females, Russell easily beats them both. Wins spot back in the game (#6 Robs Place)..... All left are 1 woman from Robs tribe, and 3/4 men on Russells tribe and Russell. Russell is the goat because no one is voting in the end (So They Think) for a RI contestant. Keep in mind the contestants had NO clue this was going on untill Russell was brought back so struck alotta them as unfair. Russell is F3 with 2 other men. All I know is he gets no votes. Will post more later



So there you have it. Johnny Chan being on was something that you first heard here. I broached this even before taping started so I feel vindicated here. Also it looks like Russell makes another final through this Redemption Island crap. At least his torch gets snuffed but not at the hands of Rob if this is correct. Let me know what you think of this.

SURVIVOR NICARAGUA UPDATED RANKINGS: WHO IS THE FAVORITE TO WIN?

We are already down to 11 players left in the game after Alina got sent home as expected. So lets once again rank the remaining players based on likeliehood of winning.

1. Sash: The guy seems to be the one in control right now and he has made strong bonds with Brenda, NaOnka, and now even Marty. Making good on his promise to Marty could help him later on if he makes the end of the game so I can see why he did it but leaving such a dangerous foe around could hurt him as we move on. Still no one seems to be gunning for him and he is showing a mind for the game.

2. Brenda: I am going to keep Brenda at number two due to her tight pact with Sash but he has already made it known that NaOnka is his main girl to take to the end. Since three go to the finish, there is room for Brenda and I expect that to be the firm plan in his mind but I think her path could be more rocky than his due to her past fights with Marty.

3. Benry: His comments about Alina were the first time in the series that I thought less of the guy who to this point has played a great game. Again no one seems to be paying attention to him which bodes well for his survival deep into the game. He seems almost too good to be true to this point so maybe an eruption is coming soon.

4. Chase: Like Benry, Chase has been playing a low profile game for such a strong guy. Marty and Dan are leery of him now but he doesnt seem to be in any sort of trouble. Look for him to start picking up individual immunity these next few weeks and be a factor all the way through.

5. Marty: Despite losing his best ally in Jill and not having the idol anymore, I still cant bring myself to downgrade Marty much more than this. The guy is very cunning and always seems to have a plan in place. Yes he has gotten lucky the last few weeks in avoiding elimination but a little bit of luck is always needed to win.

6. Jane: I am putting Jane right behind Marty due to the fact that I think they both are in similar predicaments. Both have been targeted by the others and both have gone at each other pretty good. She might have put the focus on her a bit by winning immunity and no doubt she wasnt helped by Marty's speech to the others about her ability to win, but I dont see the others really worried about her yet.

7. Holly: Holly keeps moving up the rankings as she seems to have completed her Survivor comeback. She no longer has people gunning for her and she has made nice inroads with the younger people. She also seems tough and feisty enough to get where she wants to go. Dont forget about her.

8. Purple Kelly: She continues her hiding in the bushes game and thats really all that can be said about her. She is just there. Thats pretty much it.

9. Fabio: Despite winning immunity and hanging around, can you really see a jury giving this guy a million dollars? Sorry I just dont see it.

10. NaOnka: Yes she might get to the end of the game but this is a ranking of who has the best chance to win and not who gets to the finale. She really has zero chance to win after her latest stunt of stealing the food and she is nothing more than a prop right now to take to the end of the game as a person that everyone thinks they can beat.

11. Dan: In hindsight I should have put Dan above NaOnka. The guy is still here which is crazy but he looks like he will stay for awhile due to the no respect factor. In other words the others dont fear him at all and he has no strategic game to think of. Actually if you think about it, Dan would be the next logical person to bring to the end of the game with NaOnka due to the fact he has already expressed how he doesnt need the money and how he wouldnt have earned his way through. Just a thought.

What do you think of the latest rankings? Lets start a debate.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 8: Its Merge Time

Wrapup and than the views! As sure as the sun coming up in the morning.

Things get started at the LeFlor camp during the next day's morning as Marty talks about how he feels like a Dead Man Walking. Fabio gets back to camp with the tree mail as there is a key and a map included. It soon was obvious that it was merge time as they were instructed to head to the other camp to merge. This comes as great news to Marty who now gets a second chance due to this bit of news.

We soon head over to Espada approaching a locked box. They too discover the merge is near and they head back to camp to wait. Strategy talk begins as Benry privately begins to size up the others, namely Alina. Alina tries to talk her way into keeping the six Esapa's together and how she wants to dump Marty. NaOnka wasnt buying it however and it seems clear Alina will be out first if she doesnt get the idol. Soon the LeFlor head over to the Espada camp and there is shock that Jill is out. The firsty thing they do is open the chest and see a ton of food. There are also new buffs and a new tribe name will be decided on by the rest of the clan. Marty comes up with the name Libertad which means Liberty and the other dont disagree. The food gets gorged upon quickly and it seems all is going well now. NaOnka and Brenda however decide to go take a walk and discuss things. They both spill the beans on both tribes and NaOnka finds out from Brenda about how Sash has the idol. They than decide that Marty should go before he can infiltrate the group.

We next see Chase and Jane talking about the country as they get the water and a bond seems to form there. She feels comfortable telling him about how she was disrespected on her tribe and he tells her she will look out for her. Breakfast is being cooked and NaOnka is in a bad mood as she winds up getting the smallest tortilla that she was making for everyone. She decides to take matters into her own hands and so she digs into the remaining case of food and swipes the flour. She places it into her bag and walks off as Holly saw the whole thing happen. NaOnka goes ahead and hides it into the dirt. She than goes back and takes fruit and the utensils needed to cook. Alina walks back into camp at this point and talks strategy. NaOnka tells her they are gunning for her and she realizes now she has to win immunity. Whats shocking here is that NaOnka gives her one of the oranges she stole and the convo continues. There was a reason for NaOnka doing this as she believes she will get her vote when she is on the final jury.

We soon see Marty looking for the cooking bowl and the tribe realizes that a lot of things are missing. Fabio gets annoyed and Holly right than and there confronts NaOnka about the missing items. She immediately claims she got the stuff but put it back. She starts arguing with Fabio and its heated. She walks off in a huff and the rest of the group is shocked. Chase and Alina try convincing NaOnka to admit what she did. She goes along with it and comes clean to the group. She also reveals that Alina was along for the ride. We hear Marty pipe in with his opinion that he doesnt buy it.

We later see the tribe cooking dinner and the view is that Alina is even more marked than she was before. Sash believes however that NaOnka is the perfect person to bring to the final three as he knows no one would give her any votes. He tells NaOnka of his plan to get rid of Alina and that she is his number one ally in the game. Jane than shows the group that she caught more fish and Marty soon sees that she is making inroads in the tribe. He begins a mission to convince the others that she is a huge threat in the game due to her story and how she is bonded with everyone. It is here where we arrive at the immunity challenge. Immunity is not individual and the challnege consists of each person having metal handles causing tensions on a bar. If you ease the tension on the handles, the bar falls and it shatters a tile. The last man and last woman standing win immunity. We quickly have Kelly and Dan drop out, followed by Alina. Brenda is next, followed by Benry, Sash, NaOnka, and than Holly drops out giving Jane immunity. Jane wants to keep going however as she wished to beat the men. Marty drops his and its down to Fabio and Chase for the men. Chase soon drops and Fabio wins immunity.

Tension is high at camp as the talk begins on who to vote out. With Jane no longer an option, the talk begins to center on Marty amongst the girls. Jane wasnt him out bad. Kelly wants to get all the girls together and Sash to oust Marty. Chase and Holly also talk about getting Marty out so it seems unanimous. Sash however wants to keep him around as he he promised to keep him around when he got the idol from him the last time around. Jane seems annoyed by this but Brenda seems like its not necessary to rush it since there will be plenty of time to get rid of him later. Alina thus is back on the block again as Dan spills the beans to Marty that Chase is looking to blindside him. Marty immediately goes to Sash and looks for answers. He goes ahead and asks Holly to give the South Dakota word of honor to Marty that she is voting Alina. What a mess it is.

Tribal council arrives soon as it will be Alina or Marty getting the boot out of the game. During the TC, Marty talks about clearing the air and how it wasnt true about how he didnt like Jane. He calls out her startegy and she takes big offense. It gets heated between the two as he gets passionate about how she will win if she gets to the end of the game. Dan soon reveals that NaOnka and Alina stole food and claims she was punished which got snickers from the others. Soon the votes are cast as Alina is the near unanimous vote by a count of 10-2.

Now as always the opinions:

-Its like watching Groundhog Day when it comes to this season's edition of Survivor, specifically speaking in the way that Marty continues to dodge elimination each week. What amazing is how seemingly smart driven players like Sash and Brenda continue to let him skate by and not pick up on the threat he is. I dont buy the notion that he is not to be worried about anymore due to the fact he doesnt have the idol. The guy has a mind for the game and he will stop at nothing to win it. How they can rationalize voting out Alina and Jill over him is beyond comprehension. What a joke this is.
-Watching these people keep Marty around gives you the feeling of watching horror unknowing horror movie victims before they are chopped up by Jason or Freddy. Marty is lurking with his machete and he is ready to strike. You also get the feeling that Sash, Brenda and company are totally feeling tons of regret when watching these episodes at home. They know they screwed up. It just remains to be seen how bad.
-Alina I will miss you. Your amazing body, cute face, and feistiness. I think she got a bad rap in this game for no reason. People were always gunning for her but I dont know why. And Benry calling her a dirt squirrel? What the hell was that? We must be missing something as I havent seen anything that she has done to deserve the treatment she got.
-Sash is so pathetic with his little plea to keep Marty around so he adheres to the word he gave him. Forget that. Marty would not hesistate for a second to rip Sash apart the first chance he got if the roles were reversed. You would think that the exchange he had with Shannon at the beginning of the game would have toughened him up. I guess not.
-Even if he were to get voted out the very next TC (dont hold your breath with these idiots), Marty goes down as the best player of the season by a mile. Its not even close.
-The reason why I love Jane so much, and I have spoken her praises since the beginning, is the fact that she sticks to her guns and doesnt take crap from anyone. I loved how she went back at Marty during TC. And I totally loved how she kicked his ass in the challenge. Her sticking it out when she already won immunity was awesome. Right now its looking like a long shot for her to win due to the comments Marty made to everyone during TC but she certainly has earned my respect.
-Speaking of Marty's attack on Jane during TC, I thought it was totally tasteless and disrespectful the way he cavalierly talked about how Jane losing her husband made her the de facto winner due to her "story." I hope he feels som regret for those commens as they were terrible to make to someone who just lost their spouse. He basically was hinting that she was USING that story to advance her cause which no one with a heart would ever do.
-NaOnka stealing the food was so Russell-esqu but she was not slick enough to get it done without being noticed. She is a total psycho through and through but I actually thought this was funny for some reason. What was interesting was the fallout from this as the tribe seemingly forgave her for what to me is the biggest sin in Survivor. When food is as scarce as it is, anyone who consciouosly takes it from the rest of the group deserves to get their ass sent home that very day. No questions asked. Fabio goes off on here and than seconds later claims its all okay now. Marty was the only one who really went to town on her which is shocking. (Sigh)
-One thing that Sash did which was smart was his desire to take NaOnka to the end of the game. Everyone knows she wont get one vote if she gets to the end of the game and so she is the perfect person to bring to the finale as its a guaranteed win over her and greatly improves the odds of winning.
-Fabio was annoying as hell today. Whenever he talks I cringe. He is that idiot in your high school class who always embaressed himself in front of everyone to the point that it made you uncomfortable.
-Dan.....what else can I say. Even in a challenge where he had to simply stand a put tension on some sticks, he was only able to last 3 seconds. Ridiculous. The funny thing is that I actually believe he stands a great chance to get to the end of the game if he doesnt quite due to the fact that no one takes him seriously and he is not a threat to anyone. Crazy stuff happens sometimes in this game.
-Holly continues to intrigue me. I really respect the way she has played the game after a rough start. She really has transformed herself into a factor and has done well in the challenges. I wouldnt be shocked if she won. No seriously.
-Purple Kelly's uselessness goes on and on and on.
-I wish Chase would take a more active roll in things. He is way too much of a follower for such a strong guy.

All right thats all I got for now. Check back as always for more. Lets hear your opinions.

Survivor Casting Call Set

I have gotten a lot of questions on when the upcoming Survivor casting calls will be and it appears the first one for upcoming seasons is going to be on Friday November 12 from 12-6 PM at the Alabama International Auto Show. So for those who think Survivor is nearing its completion and that they wont be doing these gatherings anymore, this is obvioously evidence to the contrary. Also this without a doubt has been the new means for the producers to gather the cast instead of looking through the videos and applications like in the past. In other words if your hot or are a stud, you will be pulled aside and strongly considered for the show. Thats just how it is now....A Road Rules/Real World type cast with a few B-list celebs thrown in. Like I said the show is still good but most of these new people have not even seen an episode of the show and thus the quality of game play in my view has suffered as a result of them not coming in with a studied plan. AGREE OR DISAGREE?

Carrie Prejean, Kimbo Slice Not On S22 After All?

All right as most of you know, I have not allowed spoilers to be posted on here since I began the site but I bent that rule some in discussing the upcoming Survivor 22 Boston Rob VS. Russell Hantz season due to the volume of inquieries I have gotten on what went on with that season. So I proceeded to post spoilers that were originally let out by the super sleuth "missaye" who was the one who spoiled S 19 and Heroes VS Villians and was pretty much dead on. So I thought this was a good source to go with and so he/she reported that both mixed martial arts guru Kimbo Slice and former Miss California Carrie Prejean would be on the Rob VS Russell season. Well after going with this for weeks, missaye posted yesterday that these news bits are in fact FALSE and either he/she posted them to mislead everyone or that the person he/she gets their info from was wrong. Either way it seems we back to square one with this and thus its still possible Rob and Russell have immunity to the merge after all. What a mess.

Survivor Nicaragua Updated Tribe Rankings: Who Is Currently The Favorite?

For the first time since the beginnig of the show, we have a new favorite as Sash takes the mantle after stepping up in a huge way last week and taking hold of the hidden imunity idol from Marty. The old guy is still dangerous himself though and it not to be underestimated. Lets see who the final twelve stack up.

1. Sash: No doubt he earned the top spot this week after convining Marty to give him the hidden immunity idol and thus voting out Jill in the process which is big since she is the dangerous Marty's biggest ally. I thought he missed a golden opportunty in not voting out Marty instead and that could come back and bite him but thats a concern for another day.

2. Brenda: Brenda is a power payer of which there is not doubt. She tkes a backseat to Sash however as he has the idol and he seems to be calling the shots now. Still she has been playing a great game and will be a force to be reckoned with.

3. Marty: Even though he no longer has the hidden immunity idol, Marty is not to be taken lightly. The man is still incredibly cunning and has the merge coming up to get him right back into the game. He is hurt by the loss of loyal Jill though.

4. Benry: The guy continues to get it done in the challenges and he is a slam dunk winner in the likability deparment. No one seems onto this yet which is surprising. He is the total package of what a Survivor winner looks like.

5. Chase: Ultimately I feel Chase is the third wheel in the Brenda/Sash power play but the good 'ol boy is also well liked and is without threats at the moment.

6. Purple Kelly: The merge is here and thats where someone who plays the under the radar game like Purple Kelly does well. She has been pretty useless to this point but we have seen this script before.

7. Jane: Jane got herself into a bit of trouble this past week with Marty but now that the merge has arrived, Jane will certainly not be the first target of the group. Other than Marty she is well liked and no doubt can win the game if she gets to the end here.

8. NaOnka: Only because she has the hidden immunity idol do I even have her this high. We all know her bad attitude will doom her fate in the game.

9. Fabio: He just continues to get by with is hazy demeanor but no one takes him seriously. He is mascot and thats it.

10. Holly: Holly has saved her game over the last few weeks and found new friends with the young people. You never know.

11. Alina: She narrowly missed getting the boot last week but I said all along that if she advanced to the merge, her chances would improve. Well she made it so lets see how the first week goes before we move her up.

12. Dan: He was a joke in the challenge last week but like with Alina, making the merge is good for him as power players get targeted at this point. Amazing he is still around.
