Survivor Tocantins,  5th Episode

The realty TV show Survivor Tocantins starts out this week at the Jalapao Tribe, day 13, and finding Taj saying she put Joe’s name down on the paper because she really didn’t want to put Sandy down.  Taj then went and found the immunity idol.  She handed it off to Stephen for safe keeping, as Taj thought she would be the one her tribe suspects as having it because of her many trips to Exile island.

Timbira, day 13, finding Sierra talking to Brendan about their alliance with Taj and Stephen from the Jalapao Tribe.  She told Brendan that we rule!  “We are going to take over the world.”

Challenge:  Played in rounds, with one tribe member seated on a round platform, another tribe member will then race, pulling a rope attached to that platform, causing the tribe member to get dizzy.  The dizzy castaway then must make their way across a balancing beam to the finish line.  Each time they win a round, they score a point.  The first tribe that has  3 points wins reward.  The reward is being sent to the Charmin Cafe, enjoying some nice strong coffee, pastries, use of a modern toilet and lots of Charmin.  In addition, the winning tribe will choose a member from the loosing tribe to go to Exile island, and that castaway will select someone from the winning tribe to join them.  This means that one person from the winning tribe will not enjoy the Charmin Café.

Jalapao wins the reward.  The tribe chooses Brendan to go to Exile island.  Brendan chooses his alliance member, Stephen from the Timbira tribe, to join him.  They then are able to tighten up their secret alliance.

At the reward the Jalapao members, minus Stephen, live it up with all kinds of pastries, coffee, and juices to drink.  They all then received letters from home, and showed many tears of joy as they read their letters.

In Timbira, day 13, the tribe members are upset about not winning.  Also, Coach is suspect about Brendan making friends with the Jalapao members on his stays at Exile island.  Then the wind picks up and a big rain storm hits the camp.

Challenge:  Two members from each tribe alternate launching balls out onto the course where the remaining castaways will catch the ball in their individual nets.  They can catch a ball from either tribe, which will score a point for their tribe.  The first tribe to get 5 catches will win immunity.  The loosing tribe goes to tribal council where somebody will be voted out of this game.

Timberia Tribe wins the immunity.  JT put in an amazing effort, and almost won it for Jalapoa.  He even lost a tooth while playing.

At Jalapao Tribe, day 15, the members are frustrated over the brutal challenge and having to loose it.  Taj thought Spencer was weak in the challenge.

At tribal council, the fifth person voted out of this realty tv Survivor Tocantins was Spencer, the 19 year old from Lakeland, Florida.   He also decided during the game to never reveal to his fellow tribe members that he was gay.

Survivor Tocantins 4th Episode

The beginning of the fourth episode of the realty TV show Survivor Tocantins finds us with 13 castaways left, and wondering who will be voted out tonight.

At Timbira, the Coach was pissed because Erinn did not see him as a tribe leader.  Coach said if Jerry hadn’t been sick and voted off, Erinn would have been voted off instead.  But then Coach tells everyone that Tyson should be the tribe leader, playing out his secret strategy.

Over in Jalapao, Taj wants to speak to Stephen about her secret alliance, which is Brendan and Sierra over at the Timbira Tribe.  Stephen told Taj that he’s in.

The Challenge was for 3 people to balance weights on a pole sitting on their shoulders, with 2 guys and 1 gal from each tribe.  Two castaways would decide who to put weight on the opposite tribe.  The winning tribe gets to send 2 castaways to the other tribe’s camp and take 2 items of their choice.  Also, the winner picks a member from the opposite tribe to go to Exile Island.

The competition was hard, but got down to the two women, Taj and Debra.  The strategy was to eliminate the men first, which worked out great for both sides.  After adding more weight to Debra, which brought the total pounds to 100, she let go.  Jalapao then won the reward, and made it straight 4 wins in a row for the happy tribe members.  They sent Sierra to Exile Island, who picked Taj.  But the plan made up by Taj and Brendan was for Sierra to pick Stephen, but we hear that Brendan never had a chance to be alone with Sierra to clue her in.

Back a Jalapao, Tyson felt weird seeing 2 opposite tribe members visiting his camp, and thieving 2 of their items.  But the guys went easy on them by only taking one bag of beans and leaving them with another.  The second item was a water container, which they had more of.  The boys thought that if the tribes were to be reconfigured, they wouldn’t want to be on Timbira with no food (sweet justice).

In Jalapao, Sandy was getting on Sydney’s nerves.  She said Sandy repeats everything 3 times and castaways are getting sick of her.  But then Sandy says in her one-on-one interview with the camera that Sydney needs to go because she is working her charm on all the boys, including sleeping without a bra on at night and rubbing up against them.

Out on Exile Island Taj receives her final clue for the hidden immunity idol, and said she now knows exactly where to find it.  Taj also finds out that Brendan never spoke to Sierra about her hidden alliance.  So Taj informs Sierra, who said she was in and was feeling very good about her new alliance that now crosses over 2 tribes and controls 2 hidden idols.

The next Tribal Challenge finds the tribe members running through a course to pick up puzzle pieces and bring them back to the start line.  Once all pieces were brought back, they could began to solve it.  The viewers were shown the answer, “Escape the vote (Jalapoa/Timbira) wins immunity.  It was close, but Timbira broke their loosing streak and won immunity.

Discussions at Jalapoa Tribe were whether to vote off Sandy or Sydney.  But at tribal council, Sandy was surprised that she was the one voted off.  Now both tribes are now even, six castaways against six cataways.

The Bus Driver Voted Off 

The 53 year old Sandy from Louisville, Kentucky was voted off episode four.  Sandy was surprised it was her, as she thought she was getting in tight with her tribe members.

Sandy had this to say, “I was the mother hen over all these little ducks and I stayed around a lot longer than I thought I was going to and I didn’t quit so I’m real proud of myself.

We will miss Sandy’s humor and can only say that it was too bad she never found her hidden immunity idol on the “sandy” beach.

New Twists To New Season! 

Our long awaited Season 18 got off to a quick start, in fact so quick, that the 16 castaways were already divided into 2 tribes before the show began.  A tribe named Jalapao, in red, and the other called Timbira, in black.  The good news is that the cast was not allowed to talk to each other until the show began.

A brand new twist to this season was revealed shortly after the contestants unloaded their flat bed truck and were about to embark upon a 4 hour hike to their respective camps.  Jeff announced that each tribe had to instantly vote off one member!  So needless to say, panic took over as everyone was scrambling around trying to think of who to vote for.

With 5 votes counted so far, "The Old Lady" Sandy was voted off.  Jeff asked her for her comments.  Sandy said such things as ‘was so pissed" and "obviously didn’t think it would be like this." And, "we didn’t got to know each other."

Sierra was voted off by her tribe.  One comment was that she was so quiet.  But wait, let’s back up for a second.  It was announced that the castaways were asked to be silent before the show began?  So how is it that Sierra was accused of being quiet when she was doing exactly what she was told to do?  The Producers have some explaining to do here.

Anyway, Jeff asked Sierra about the vote and she said that she was "sorry, I have a fevor of 102.  I think I could of brought alot to this team.  That’s your choice, fine by me."

So then Jeff reveals another twist.  He states these 2 are not booted, but instead taken by helicopter directly to camp, and missing a 4 hour hike in the heat carrying all the supplies.  Suddenly our booted castaways were very happy!

After each person was dropped off into their camps, a note was awaiting them.  They could get back in with the tribe by starting to get things organized and built, OR, they could search for a hidden immunity idol.

Well, Sandy, who appeared very emotional and was crying at first, decided to screw the tribe and look for the idol.  This "old lady" was out to win at any cost!

But Sierra on the other hand, was very thoughtful and wanted to show her tribe how valuable she was to them.  Sierra therefore built a shelter, all by herself, for her tribe to sleep in during the first night.  So needless to say, her tribe was impressed by her actions and were having second thoughts about booting her off. 

So after the castaways first day, I would have to say that it was an emotional roller coaster for some.  A victory for Sierra, and a bad decision made by Sandy.  This is going to be a very interesting season!

Cbs Looking For Next Sole Survivor

Ever since Survivor aired in 2000, the show has always tried to make an effort to showcase diversity among its contestants, not to mention the distinctness of the setting that will serve as the grounds of the competitive reality series. Over the years, Survivor has tapped the fields of Borneo, Africa, Thailand, Australia and most recently Fiji …however this time Survivor will take its viewers to Survivor Tocantins.

Meanwhile, Survivor is looking for possible participants worthy of its 19th season. Previous contestants have been discovered and recruited through various approaches like looking into MySpace profiles or acquiring a contact list for an association. Although the ways of discovering possible contestants may seem simple and typical, there is nothing easy about the process one has to go through in order to penetrate the game.

As other Survivor contestants have mentioned, the application process involves a meticulous and thorough procedure. Aside from the written application, one has to submit a video application. In addition, the selected candidates must go through rigorous health examinations to prove that one is physically and mentally fit. Backgrounds will also be checked.

What’s complicated about the screening process is that nearly 800 possible applicants can be requested for an interview in person in selected places like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, Dallas, Detroit among others. Unfortunately, if you don’t live in the said vicinities, you have to take a trip at your own expense. Furthermore, selected contestants will be out of work for at least 7 weeks, so it will be an advantage to have flexibility at work.

Survivor has featured so many seemingly odd players, which confirms that anyone has a chance to get in and linger in the game as long as you can play the game right. Just look how far it got Yau-Man and Cassandra.

Although details are sketchy, Desiree had apparently been instructed to go underwater to fix something for the show. When he didn’t resurface, another crew member went underwater to search for him. When he could not be located, a female crew member from Australia telephoned Desiree’s wife Susa, to inform her that her husband was missing.

The woman called a second time about an hour and a half later to inform Susa that her husband had been found dead.

No further details are available at this time.
