Survivor Live with Chad

Survivor Live, the Internet Talk Show
Guest: Chad
Hosts: Chris Booker & Richard Hatch, winner first Survivor

Comments made by Chad
He went before Chris because Chris lied to the women and played up the lie that at the last minute Sarge had asked Chris to vote for him. Eliza really annoyed the women but since the merger she's been cool. However she's never been in a real alliance because she can't keep her mouth shut. The Fat Five voted off John K. because they were sure that he would side with the women once a merge happened, so they trusted Twila and voted him off. Chad was friends with Rory even though Rory often lost his temper.

The immunity challenge was real difficult (it lasted about thirty minutes) and he just couldn't outlast Twila. This season's tie breaker at Tribal Council is this: a random castaway not receiving votes (at that particular TC) is removed from the game. (So you can see why Twila was reluctant to vote with the men unless they had a clear majority.) The pig that they traded the native tribe for was left behind. The kava drink really did a number on him. He couldn't feel his arms or legs.

Comments made by Richard
Twila is clueless, Scout flip-flops too much. Chris is a good micro-player but he doesn't think about the big picture. No one can count on Eliza. Rewards can be refused, traded or given away.

Episode 10, So Long Chad

or Dangling Chad Falls Off Island

A few of the women waiver, but they hold together long enough to vote Chad off of Vanuatu.

Reward Challenge
Competition: Rope obstacle course
Reward: overnight sleep-over and feast with a native tribe.

They competed in two groups of four. Eliza, Chad, Chris and Ami versus Julie, Scout, Leann and Twila. Eliza and Julie had their hands tied and had to pass through a rope obstacle course. It was close but Eliza's team won.

The four of them took the pig they had been given last episode to the feast, where they exchanged it for another pig. There was a lot of singing, dancing and kava. Chad couldn't handle his kava. What's kava? A species of Macropiper (M. methysticum), the long pepper, from the root of which an intoxicating beverage is made by the Polynesians, by a process of mastication; also, the beverage itself. (thanks Webster)

As hungry as they were, they didn't describe to food too well. A cow's head with banana leaves behind it with piles of fatty meat that wasn't fully cooked. Mmm, mmm good!

Meanwhile back at camp . . .
Twila and Scout start talking about voting off Eliza next (not my Eliza!). Their reasoning, besides not liking her, is that having the men around for a few more days would be nice since they need to rebuild after the storm. Julie sort of goes along but Leann is silent. The look on Leann's face is like "wait until I tell Ami!"

Immunity Challenge
Competition: Post hanging, hang onto the side of a post as long as you can.

They went off in the following order:
Julie, Chris, Scout, Ami, Eliza, Leann, and finally Chad.

Twila wins immunity.

Twila considers voting for Eliza with Scout and the men, but then it would only be four vs. four and a random person would leave the island. So she's real reluctant to do so unless a third woman is in on it.

Tribal Council
(paraphrased)
Jeff: There's been a change in the weather (lots of storms), has it changed anything else Leann?
Leann: The change in the weather is driving me crazy (not really the answer Jeff was looking for).
Jeff: Chris are the women sticking together? Has your stock gone up?
Chris: Our (the men) stock is up, the women aren't very solid.
Chad: Chris and I have like 25-30 plans for whatever could happen.
Scout: There's been a lot of scurrying. The men have talked to everybody.
Eliza: I'm nervous and uncomfortable. The men have been plotting!
Twila: You can't trust anyone.
Ami: I know who I can trust (that would be Leann and Eliza).

Eliza really sounded surprised that the men had been talking and plotting with some of the other women. Ami and Leann really must keep her sheltered from the others.

Alliances
Ami, Leann, Eliza and Julie will pick off Twila, Scout and Chris. Maybe Twila, Scout and Chris can swing Julie over to them but I doubt it.

Heroes & Villains
Please, please don't let Ami win this. I'm really pulling for Chris now.

Survivor Trivia
Near the end of the show they had a trivia contest. If a caller answered three questions correctly then they won a Survivor buff. The answers are at the end of this entry.

Set One
1. On Vanuatu what was the name of the women's tribe?
2. Who was the first one voted off Yasur?
3. Who was the first voted off of All-Star Survivor?

Set Two
1. On Vanuatu who's middle name is Cloud?
2. On Vanuatu what did the men win in the first episode?
3. Who did Richard Hatch beat out in the final two of the first Survivor?

Set Three
1. On Vanuatu what was the name of the Men's tribe?
2. Of the remaining Castaways on Vanuatu, who has had the most votes cast against them?
3. In the history of Survivor, who is the only one to voluntarily leave at Tribal Council without being voted off?

Comments made by Richard
Scout is still in the game because she doesn't make waves, contributes (but not in physical competitions), and is inoffensive to the others. Eliza can't stand her for some reason and it will be interesting to hear why. Ami is the leader and Scout is a good follower.

Caller: Richard when did you start to look for someone to be in the final two with?
Richard: The first day. You want someone that you can rely on and who puts off the others. Of the ones left on Vanuatu, Eliza, Chad and Chris fit the bill. However none of them is smart enough to exploit it.

Heidi was not invited to be on All-Star Survivor. She wasn't interesting enough (apparently a nice body and a willingness to get naked isn't enough). Johnny Fairplay was a good character but he was too irritating to the others to win it all.

Best Caller Observation: there hasn't been a bug eating contest yet.

Survivor Fantasy League

The answer to this week's Survivor Fantasy League Bonus Question is:

chicken wings

The question is: On the November 12 episode of SURVIVOR LIVE, Sarge was upset that the women had eaten a certain food item. What was the food?

My fearless prediction: Chris will be gone this week.
Don't let the previews fool you, a man will be voted off this week. There are now eight castaways left (six women and two men) so to ensure that someone goes they need five votes. That means three women would need to side with the two lonely men and I don't see that happening.

My prediction for the final four: Ami, Leann, Eliza and Julie.
Ami and Leann have a tight alliance and they'd both like to be in the final two with Eliza. Julie was brought into the final four recently to assure that she won't defect to the men. After the men are gone, Scout and Twila will be the first women evicted. At least that's the plan, immunity may shake things up a little bit.
