Survivor Samoa: Finale Results


Tonight was the big Survivor Samoa finale episode and here are the results!

The first immunity challenge is won by Brett the only member from the original Galu tribe and this is his 3rd win for immunity in a row.

The final four of Foa Foa will now be split up and Jaison is sent to the jury.

The second immunity challenge comes down to Russell and Brett and Russ wins his first immunity necklace and Brett is sent to the jury.

The final 3 are Mick, Natalie and Russ and they are questioned by the jury members.

Natalie wins Survivor Samoa after an amazing speech by Erik and Russell came in second. Of course, Russ should have won as he is one of the best players ever.

Russell does win the $100,000 Viewers’ Choice prize though.

What do you think? Should Natalie have been the winner or did Russell deserve it for controlling so much of the game? Share your thoughts below!

Survivor Samoa: Two Brains Are Better Than One


Night 33:  Brett is making Sham happy by massaging her head.  My question is how can he touch the mop on her head?  I mean none of them have bathed or washed their hair and she has got a lot of hair on top of that head.  Even Russ is disgusted with her hair and said if he didn’t need her that she would be gone because of her nasty hair.  Meanwhile, Russ and Jaison discuss sending Brett to the jury IF he doesn’t win immunity again. 

The reward challenge:  Natalie is captain of the purple team and Russell is the captain of the yellow team.  She chooses Brett as her first pick and Mick second so Jaison and Sham are with Russ.  Russ and Jaison are concerned about how close Nat and Brett have become.  The challenge is pulling an intertwined rope (1 of many) to drop as few coconuts as possible.  The first team to drop 100 coconuts lose.  After the first round it appears the yellow team is going to lose because they drop 19 coconuts to purple’s 4.  As the game progressed however, Russell pulled it together and dropped 0 and Brett was the last one for purple and pushed them over 100 coconuts.  Russ, Sham and Jaison enjoy a huge feast in Samoan village of all kinds of seafood and an entire pig and plot to become the final 3.  Russ says he needs to pull Nat aside when they get back and spend 2 hours with her to get her head right.  They spend the night in the village and sleep on pillows and cover up with blankets.

The Immunity Challenge:  The contestants race to a field where there are 6 different stations.  They have to count the objects in each station and use the numbers as a combination to open a lock and then break a tile.  Russ, Mick, Jaison and Brett all finish counting and race to break the combination.  Mick is wrong and then Jaison is wrong and they go back to recount but Brett is right and wins immunity for the second time.  Jaison decides that Sham is not helping them enough in challenges and she must go.

Russ lies to Sham and tells her the plan is to vote out Mick and then he gets Mick on board to vote her out. 

Tribal Council:  Sham admits she was a traitor to Galu.  There is a lot of talk about it being the end game and Russ claims this is the first time he feels bad about voting someone off.  Russ also says he is going to keep the immunity idol for a souvenir and then Sham is eliminated.  Russ wouldn’t even look at her and I know he did feel bad about the decision.

Well, not as much drama as I was expecting for this episode but it was still pretty good.  In my opinion, Russ should have kept Sham because everyone on the jury dislikes her and probably would have voted for him over her but that isn’t going to happen.  Sunday night is the 2 hour finale so be sure to watch and see if Brett can make it 3 in a row and find out the winner of Survivor Samoa.

Well guys we are almost to the end of our journey in Samoa and what an awesome 39 days it has been.  Tonight we will find out if Mick and Nat turn on Russell and force him to use his idol or if he will once again manipulate his way straight to the finale.  It is gearing up to be one of the most memorable episodes of the season as we will say goodbye to one of our outspoken players who shouldn’t go down without a fight.  I hope you all will join us here before and after the show as we break it all down and discuss the possibilities of what will happen on this show as well as the next.

Survivor Samoa Episode 13: MORE SPOILERS


Thanks to TDT and Survivor Fever for the following reward information and pictures.

The reward challenge for this Survivor Samoa episode is called coconut nets.  The contestants are split into two teams of three.  The yellow team is Brett, Mick and Natalie and the purple team is Russell, Sham and Jaison.  It looks like each team takes turns pulling a rope out of a configuration that is holding up a load of coconuts.  When the remaining ropes can no longer support the coconuts, they begin to fall down.

episode 14 reward 3

Russell is concentrating hard here trying to figure out which rope to untie.  The winners of this challenge was previously thought to be Brett, Mick and Nat but now it looks like the winners are the purple team who will go on an overnight adventure to possibly either Sua Ocean Trench or swimming with the sea turtles at Satoalepai Wetlands.  Wherever they go, it leaves the other team to stay behind and plot.  Perhaps Russell will have to play the last immunity idol Thursday night.  There is no specualtion on the Immunity Challenge for this episode but I will share it if it becomes available, but we do know Brett wins leaving Sham to get the boot.  Hopefully she won’t go down without a fight!  Will Mick and Nat turn on Russ in favor of Brett and force him to play the idol and who will Sham go after in order to save herself?

SURVIVOR SAMOA: **SPOILER ALERT**


Hey guys!  So I am going to break down the next episode, as much as I can, and then the final episode.  Can you believe there are only 2 shows left?  It is kind of sad to see the season winding down. 

The penultimate episode:

There is a reward challenge but not sure what the game is about but the winners are clearly Natalie, Mick and Brett as seen from the pictures below.

survivor episode 14 rewardsurvivor episode 14 reward 2

 

 

 

 

The trio leaves by boat and returns later in the day but what the reward is and the location is unknown to me.  Can Brett work his charm on Nat and Mick for a possible Russell boot?

I have no idea what the immunity challenge will be this week but I can tell you that Brett wins.  As you can barely see in the picture, Brett is in the middle on the return to camp wearing the necklace.

survivor episode 14 immunity

So with Brett winning immunity, the person to leave this week will be Shambo.  I heard the producers wanted to devote an entire episode to this particular boot as I’m sure she will not go without a fight.

As far as finale night we are left with 5 contestants and all 4 foa foa’s.  You would think Brett would be the next to go and obviously he would if he had not won immunity again.  So Brett is safe at 5 and Jaison is the next to go after Sham.  When it gets to the final four, Brett is then voted out leaving our final 3 as Mick, Natalie and Russel with Natalie as the projected winner.  The rumor is that Russell does not get a single vote so it appears that for this season of Survivor that the social aspect is way more important then game play.  You also have to consider that the jury members know Russell is a self made millionaire and with Mick becoming a doctor, he will also make good money so that leaves Natalie as the one who needs it the most.  You never can tell what drives the jury to do what they do. 

So this is it for the spoilers for this season.  What do you think of Brett winning back to back immunity challenges to advance his game and why did Russell not get any votes from the jury?

Thank you missyae for all your spoiler info this season.  We hope to see you back for Survivor 20.

Survivor Samoa Episode 13: Damage Control


Survivor Samoa Day 30:  Russell is on cruise control and sitting on his throne letting everyone come up to him and tell him what is going on.  After the last tribal council he does “damage control” with Sham and lies to her and tells her John was coming after her.  When will his madness end?  In my opinion, he didn’t have a choice but to lie to her to keep her in the foa’s good graces.  What else could he do?  The foa’s have to have the majority to stay alive in the game.

Jaison, Brett and Monica are all laying out on the beach when Jaison completely throws Russ under the bus.  He lets Russ take all the blame for getting rid of the former galus which was smart but then tells them that Russ made 2 million dollars last year, that makes Jaison a traitor in my opinion.  They then discuss Russ being the biggest threat in the game.  If you think so Jaison then make a move and quit hiding behind him.

First immunity challenge

Survivor Bowling Tournament:  3 rounds – The castaways are put into teams of two and whomever knocks down the most pins in two shots moves on to the next round.  First round:  Sham knocks out Natalie;  Russ knocks out Brett; Jaison knocks out Monica; and Dave with our only strike knocks out Mick.  Second round:  Sham beats Russ; Jaison beats Dave.  Final round – Jaison wins immunity for the second time and gives us a BIG smile!!

First Tribal Council

At tribal council John is all smiles and looking extra good after getting all cleaned up for us.  After voting, Danger Dave Ball becomes the fifth member of our jury.  I felt sorry for him because he did play his heart out and Russ made him think they were voting out Sham.  The shock for me was seeing that Monica and Brett also voted for his eviction.  I thought they would stand by him.  I guess everyone really is doing what Russell says.

 Second Immunity Challenge

The bean bag catapult:  the contestants race in the ocean where they untie one of their 3 bags which they take back and place on a piece of wood and jump on a plank to shoot the bag into a basket.  Brett gets his in first followed by Mick and Russell and so it goes until Brett wins immunity.  A good thing for him because he would have been gone had he not won.  Russ felt he was a threat because he is such a nice guy and would get all the votes from the jury. 

When they get back to camp, Monica tries to stir the pot with Russell.  She tells him that Jaison blew his cover on what he does for a living and that he has the idol.  Russ gets pissed and goes berserk.  Monica should have known better after watching Russell work it since the merge.  For a moment it does look like Mick and Jaison are considering it.

Second Tribal Council

Things get good and heated during the council meeting.  Russell pulls out the immunity idol in front of everyone and puts it around his neck.  Sham tells Jeff that Russ got his feathers ruffled by Monica and Russ says that had he and Monica been on the same team, they would have been a force to be reckoned with.  The best part of the whole episode for me was when Russ was writing down Monica’s name and said “stupid, stupid little girl, bad strategy.”  I about fell off the couch.  That was funny.  Monica was just a little too big for her britches for my taste and I did not care for her better than thou attitude.  She made the mistake for going after Russell and she becomes the 6th member of the jury.

A really good episode tonight.  I’m looking forward to next week.  What did yall think?

Survivor Samoa: Episode 13 Tonight 8/7C


It is time for the double elimination episode of Survivor 19 tonight on CBS.  Two immunity challenges and two tribal councils could mean the end of Russell Hantz.  We know they are gunning for him from the previews so there is much speculation about the bold move he pulls off at one of the tribal councils.

The two immunity challenges look promising and I’m guessing Mick will win the bean bag catapult since he is seen so much in the pictures.  Not sure who wins the bowling game but I think Russell might pull it off or maybe Brett.  If Russell wins then he might give his necklace to one of the former foa foas and then pull out the idol for himself.  That would be a bold move.

Whatever happens, it is going to be interesting.  Who do you think will get voted out tonight?  Join us here for the pre and post show discussions.

Survivor Samoa Episode 13 **Spoiler Alert**


Sorry to those of you who could not open the Survivor video promo.  You can go to cbs.com/survivor to watch it and many more deleted scenes and interviews.

episode 13

It is time for the double elimination episode.  We all knew it was coming and Thursday, we will see 2 immunity challenges and 2 tribal councils.  Russell will pull his “boldest move ever at a tribal council.”  Per missyae, Dave goes after the master manipulator himself and it backfires sending him to the jury.  By process of elimination I am thinking the second evictee will be either Sham or Monica with Monica as the best guess to get voted off even though I’m sure Sham is going to raise hell about not voting off Dave. 

episode 13 2

One of the immunity challenges is the bean bag catapult where the contestant stomps on a plank and tries to catapult their beanbag into a color coded basket.  I have no idea who wins the immunity necklace but I do know it is not Dave.

episode 13 3

For the other immunity challenge, let’s go bowling!  This challenge looks very straightforward as knocking a ball into some bowling pins.  Not sure who wins this challenge either.  With 2 immunity necklaces and Russell’s idol, it is going to be an interesting episode.  Can’t wait to see what Russell has in store for us at the TC but from the grin on his face, it is sure to be good.

episode 13 4

What do you think Russ’s ”bold” move is and who is the other person voted out in this episode? 

 Thanks to survivor fever for the vid caps and challenge info.
