Kimmi and Kelley watch the Survivor challenge

It was an emotional episode of Survivor Second Chance as the final eight castaways were reunited with their loved ones and a castaway faced a game-ending medical situation.

First up was the reward challenge that went to Kelley Wentworth after she was the first to get the puzzle assembled, sending her and four others to a cookout lunch with their family members.

At the immunity challenge the castaways had to maintain their balance of a tall pole and statue atop it. Kelley again scored a win but it was the face-off between Joe and Keith that lasted over 80 minutes before Joe collapsed and with it his chances in the game.

At Tribal Council the votes appeared to be going between Abi and Joe, but there was a stray Tasha vote tossed in there too by Keith. Go figure that one. It was the end of the road for Joe who appeared to have one very difficult road ahead of him if he was going to reach the finale. Now he’ll be there from the Jury side of things.

  1. I thought the headline was “Tiny Little Skanks”…and I thought, “How apropos that the picture under the title were of Kimmi and Kelly. Then I realized that Matthew would never use that word…at least not in a headline. ; )

  4. i did not misread shanks, but im thinking a stabbing. oh my. i still dont get the shanks. i looked the word up and i still dont get it unless each section of pole he is considering a shank.

  5. A shank is a knife—usually made by inmates in prisons….or by anyone really. It’s usually an improvised tool. They shiv their opponent with a shank (that’s prison lingo).

  6. kelley sure is pretty good. she finds idols, competes hard. she came from way behind to win that puzzle. sure wish she wouldnt have “gone to the dark side” and went against the ones i really liked.
    i am choosing to believe that keith just didnt want to vote joe out just bc he lost-by fainting bc he just has that good competitor character in him. fight hard and fight fair. be a good winner and be a good loser.

  7. right. thats all i could think of, so im not sure how it fits into the title for last episode. btw, it also is the lower part of the leg( i have never heard that, and i have heard a lot of words for different body parts out here in the bushes down south where i live and i have over 25 yrs in physical therapy and 15 yrs in nursing). its also a part that holds a working part of a tool to the handle part. its a cut of meat. once again, i have never had a shank of meat that i know of.

  10. lol…the only reason I knew the term is because I watch “Lockdown” every week on MSNBC. lol!

  11. i first learned of it on tv, but i have heard about a lot of shanking from pts an/or their family members. i do home health so i get to see everybody in their own environment. it is educational:)

  12. Oh Talula, it takes a very special person to be a home health care worker! When my mom was passing, her health care worker would come and give her a bath…giving me a much needed break…not that I didn’t want to be with mom every second of the day; but it does get tiring. Bless your heart for what you do!

  13. Keith is playing similar to his season, but he’s more aware of his surroundings this time. He knows how to float and fly under the radar, but can be independent on his vote. (swing vote position)..a strategy. and..this guy is not afraid to go toe to toe with you on any competition. He’s fun to watch.

  14. As you know Cyril, I’ve made fun of Keith for being a goof-ball and a rube—but I am diggin’ this cat! He is one tough competitor and unlike my Joe, he actually has a strategy. And after seeing him with his wife last night, I just want to sit down and have a big ‘ol cook-out with ’em and drink us some beers! He’s my pic to win this thing.

  17. Great minds, Mary…great minds! I’m so bored. Don’t you wish Survivor was on more than once a week? I have a lot of things I should be doing—but I’m feeling kind of punk. So, I’m just hanging out here. Might play some solitaire for a while. *Big sigh*

  21. I never watch live, I always record it and watch later so I can skip the commercial. I wish Matthew would do a TAR site so we can do like we do during the Survivor show. LOL

  22. I don’t think I even care anymore. All I know is she looks as insanely crazy as they come.

  24. I don’t think I can get into it tonight. Like I said, I’m just kind of ..out of sorts I guess. I’ll DVR it, though. Have fun watching! I’ll be playing solitaire or hearts. Or both. See you tomorrow, gal!

  25. She does though, doesn’t she? lol! I mean, in Dalton’s Tweet, he was supposed to look crazy…but this chick is nuts-o-koo-koo!

  26. Thanks Mary. I’m glad you got that joke! I used it before on the Big Brother site and I heard crickets. I also said that I was ‘…sore afraid’…Cyril was the only one who got that. I guess not many people have read the Bible—or watched “A Charlie Brown Christmas”…Lol.

  30. Oh, you make me laugh! But wouldn’t it be a hoot to hang out with him and his wife for an afternoon? Only thing is, I’d be laughing the whole time because I love how he talks! He reminds me of a friend I had in NC…she could be a female Keith. Spittin’ and all. lol

  31. I like his confessionals. It feels like you’re not watching Survivor..and a Comp Beast! lol Hanging out with him? I’m not sure. He could be fun, but I think I need to be really sh*t faced lol

  32. lol…that’s why I said it’d be a hoot to spend an AFTERNOON and drink us a lot of beers! lol! I’m pretty sure 4 hours would be my limit and I’d have to be drinking the whole time. I bet he’d have some moonshine. If so, I could spend the whole week…in a hospital.

  34. Hi Mary! (I hope you weren’t offended by what I wrote to Cyril…we joke like that all the time. But people who don’t know us go, “What the…?”)
    I only got a couple of hours of sleep because my cat INSISTED on some attention…so I feel lousy–but only because I’m tired. I’m sure I’ll get a nap later and feel better. Last night was just weird. Didn’t really feel sick or depressed…just out of sorts. And I miss my mom. I know you can relate. Jeez, it never gets easier, does it? I think it’s because my b-day is coming up and b-days & holidays (and every day) is hard. I think I’m going to go take some Motrin and try to go back to sleep. I’ll definitely talk to you later. :)

  35. I understand so well Sharona. My dad died when I was 19 just before Christmas and I just haven’t gotten into the Christmas spirit ever since even after all these years. Feel better my friend.

  36. Thanks, hon. Yeah, none of the holidays are the same anymore. My dad is still here, but unfortunately we’re not close—and not because I haven’t tried. I’m sorry you lost your dad when you were so young. I can’t even imagine. Thank you for being so kind, Mary

  37. well thank you. I’ve nursed icu to nursing homes, and have done therapy in a lot of settings. I love geriatrics. I have a gravy job. i use my therapy license FT and nursing license to help out or for extra $. I get to visit w old people while we exercise and walk a little. I love my job.

  38. me too but I did start it when it was about 2/3 in. have u seen it yet? what a jerk face that green guy is

  41. Geriatrics is a population that needs compassion and kindness, more so (IMHO) than any other…and they seem to be the most abused. So what you do is so appreciated by them, I’m sure! It helps that you love your job! All of the women on my mom’s side (except my mom and me) are nurses. My aunts; cousins; second cousin…mom got her Master’s degree in Business Administration and I had a really successful career as an actress…until RA and Lupus hit me HARD and lost the ability to do a lot of things. But again, thank you for what you do.

  43. Aw jeez. I’m so sorry! What a terrible time to lose ANYONE, let alone a parent. I’ll be thinking about you (and Mary) on Christmas day. Ugh..so very sorry.

  44. cool. actress. a career option that has never crossed my mind. I have however been on set to some movie that was being filmed in south Louisiana. my former step monster had a friend in the business and working on that project(didn’t really pay attention to all that) I was only interest in the backstage passes she got us for van halen.

  45. Oh my gosh Sharona, you’ve been through so much, I am so very sorry. I was in a LTCF (long term care facility) for a year and was told I’d probably never walk again. I did recover and am walking again (painfully) and living on my own again. When I left the LTCF I did volunteer at one until I had yet another illness but I have to say, I enjoyed working with the elderly so much and it was very rewarding.

  49. lol! I have one of those too. My dad is not a person who can be alone, so he remarried not even three months after m mom died. I was fine with it because it meant that I no longer had to take care of him. ‘Step-monster’…soooo funny!

  50. find me on fb if u want. Mary and I just friended. that doesn’t sound right. oh this techno lingo-I have no clue

  51. I’d love to join you two, but I don’t do the fb. It drives my brothers and sister nuts, but I’m just not interested. I like to call people and actually write letters! Guess I’m just old-fashioned that way. I do email, but I still prefer to write letters. But thank you for asking!

  52. Mary, it has been hard, but there are people who suffer so much worse than I do, so I try not to complain. There are days filled with self pity and right now I’m having trouble walking and I’m falling a lot and my speech is affected. BUT, I can still live alone; I can still drive; I still have my cat; and I can afford all of my meds. I’m glad your docs were wrong when they said you’d never walk again. A testimony to your own hard work! I volunteer at the Hospice Home where mom spent her last week of life—it is a truly wonderful place, and while I’m normally shy (in person), I have been blessed with the gift of empathy, so I can truly help the families. This latest thing shouldn’t last very long. I had mono this summer, and my neurologist thinks that my problem stems from the virus that causes mono. So I had to go off my RA medication and get my immune system to work again. I have great confidence in him and absolutely agree with his theory. I never really got over the mono, so with rest, I’m positive the balance and speech issues will go away. :) Jeez, I seem to be writing books here lately. Can’t seem to be succinct in my answers or posts! lol..

  53. lol. I don’t do fb either, really. I have 2 friends. oops 3 now. I figured it was a way to email/visit without posting personal info here.

  54. I always forget that this is Survivor Fandom…not where we meet in the morning for coffee while talking about the latest gossip! I get carried away. I can hear people saying, “Sharona—shut up already!!”

  59. Sorry Cyril! I’m loopy from lack of sleep. Should I delete the comment? I thought it was kind of funny…but looking back on it, It might not have been the most appropriate thing to say on this site. lol!

  60. Anywhere but here! It would be cool if there was a place for all of us to meet for coffee and talk about Survivor and our personal stuff. Be kinda hard to do though. Maybe after Big Brother and Survivor, we should have a reunion for the fans. Wouldn’t that be fun? Then we could finally put faces to the commenters. I’d LOVE that.

  70. I don’t post on it much at all either. I mainly like to see what family is up to and I keep in touch with people I worked with for my entire work life.

  71. I really enjoy our chats so please don’t stop. If others don’t like our chats they can just scroll on down to something else.

  72. oh good bc I’ve enjoyed your posts and mistook that one. im glad bc I like Keith. he is simple like me-not dumb, just country.

  73. yea, that’s what the fb thingy came about. there are still strangers here but many I really like

  74. Thanks Mary! I enjoy our chats too. I mean, if we were talking to each other like this during the Wed night show—that would be different. But the articles during the week are more casual…does that make sense?

  75. I like him too, Talula. I’d never really make fun of him and mean it. Like I said, he reminds me of a great friend of mine from NC. I just adored her.
