Yet another covered item is up next (come oooooonnnnnnBALUT!) Spicoli gets this one for a bid of $200. Yet again it’s nothing gross. BOOOOOOO! Spicoli has won a baked potato. Roasted cow balls would’ve been better. But wait. Jeff has a proposition for Spicoli; he can keep that yummy baked potato all to himself OR he can trade it for rice and beans for the entire tribe.
You suck Jeff
It does suck for Spicoli because he knows he’s gonna look like an asshole if he keeps the potato for himself. He maybe brain damaged from too much drug use, but he’s got enough brain cells left to know that the smarter choice is to share. Of course he wouldn’t have had to make that choice AT ALL if he’s been even smarter and saved his money. Just for a little while.
Another covered item goes up on the block and Lisa wins it for $320 leaving Scabby the ONLY person left with her full bankroll. UGH. WHY ARE THEY SO FUCKING STUPID??????????? So Lisa’s won a $320 giant sandwich and I hope that tastes fucking fabulous you dumb twit.
It’s smothered in hot sauce you say? Hooray!!!
And here comes what WE all KNEW was coming; up for auction is an advanta…
$500!!!!!!!
Fan fucking tastic. Jeff tells her to read the scroll when she gets back to camp and she’s justifiably happy to get the prize that she so desperately wanted and needed. Spicoli purchases the last item up for bid which turns out to be a couple of veal shanks that he gets to share with the rest of the tribe for 60 seconds. Everyone digs in and thanks Spicoli.
Everyone arrives back at camp fat and happy from the auction. Well, almost everyone. You’d think Scabby could spare a smile or two having just won an advantage for herself because everyone else was moronically hypnotized by food. But NOOOOOOOOOOO
I will scowl and scowl, dammit. Besides, you owe me an apology
What???! Is she serious?
Yup. She tells Penner that he owes her an apology for destroying her at the last tribal council. To his credit, Penner does not laugh in her face. Instead, he tries to explain to her why the rest of the tribe is not happy with her. He thinks she should try being friendlier.
Well excuuuuuuuuse me for being so honest!
Ha! Ya gotta love her consistency, I guess. I love when assholes apologize for their “honesty”. Yeah, she’s too honest. That’s totally it.

Penner got screwed. Crabbi’s knots looked awfully loose.
One must consider what may have happened, had the tribe decided not to “crucify” Abi at the last tribal council. Abi lacks such self awareness that, had she not found out she was hated at the last Tribal Council, she probably would have never thought about strategizing during the food auction.
Since she realized everyone hated her and her time was limited, for the first time ever, Abi went from ‘coast mode’ to game on. And it was awesome! Whether you hate her on not, this was an exciting episode and i was riveted from start to finish.
We all know that next week she will be voted off. But since that’s the obvious conclusion, I’m not excited. It’s too predictable. This week’s immunity outcome was anything but. It got the blood pumping and that’s something i like from Survivor.
The only outcome that could do the same next week would be…what? A blindside of Malcom? He’s the only one sitting pretty at the mo’. We saw Denise get almost half the votes at TC, we know Skupin is useless, Abi is hated, and Lisa unstable. So none of their eliminations would cause me to gasp. However, Lisa. I figure her elimination might be interesting if it’s not hinted to beforehand in the episode. (I wouldn’t even blink if Carter is dumped. I hope he isn’t though, I love getting those random shots of his wonky eye breaking the forth wall.)
I didn’t expect Lisa to give up food so Scabby wouldn’t win the immunity challenge advantage. She was safe herself, and it didn’t matter to her whether Scabby goes next or three days later. Besides, Scabby jumped on that bid so quickly that Lisa wouldn’t have won it even if she really wanted to, especially since the auctioneer would have been biased toward giving it to Scabby anyway.
What DID piss me off was her trying to outbid Spicoli with a smirk on her face AFTER she had gotten that huge sub all to herself and AFTER Spicoli spent most of his cash on a reward that he gave up so the tribe could have extra beans and rice. Fuckin’ bitch.
@crankguy – that bothered me as well! RC tweeted about it and Lisa replied saying that they edited out how Carter had won a meal before that one … but it turns out it was chicken feet and a chicken head? Ew.
Then again I don’t think I’ll ever be in a situation where I’m as hungry as they are so I probably can’t really understand how desperate they all were for some good food.
Lisa pissed me off by doing that, too. I read somewhere that there was an unseen bid for chicken feet, liver, and heads that Spicoli won. Actually, Lisa can go home any day now but I’m sure it won’t happen. I liked her for a while but she’s getting on my nerves now, even more than Scabby.
Carter has grown on me but I don’t really want him to win and I don’t think he will. My guess is he will be the next boot since he’s so good at the challenges.
And I do think there was some producer manipulation for Scabies to win immunity.
My captcha code was evil eye. No Scabies, no!
Penner looks like he’s wearing a mini version of the sorting hat in that screen grab.
At the beginning of the episode Abi was grilling Lisa on her \loyalty\ and when Lisa tried to explain (again) Abi cut her off like a petulant child.
Abi will NEVER make the connection that how she has treated people is now coming back to bite her.
I am anxious to see how she plans on pulling off her HII ruse.
Potty Mouth – In terms of thinking too hard at the votes, I have noticed that every time Skupin has voted recently he’s put hearts or smileys, something ‘girly’ on his parchment. I’ve been thinking that just in case he changed his vote he wanted to be able to blame it on Lisa. Which really makes no sense, since he hasn’t changed his vote…conspiracy theorist…
Ugh. The producers wanted Scabby to stay. Was it rigged? I don’t know.
RE: Then she rips up the rest of the note, saying she doesn’t want anyone else to know what the rest of the note says. Jeff doesn’t call her out on any of this and I’m honestly a bit surprised by that since he seems to want to butt his nose into everything else that happens out there.
I found it fishy that Jeff didn’t make her read the whole note. Has that ever happened before?
Scabby is going soon. Too bad about Penner. I like Spicoli because he seems like a good kid (not too bright) but still a good kid. It was probably a mistake for him to vote with Penner and Scabby.
I hate Abi just like everyone else, but to me the most despicable person this season is Lisa. I couldn’t stand her from the second she opened her mouth on day one and it drives me crazy that we’re clearly supposed to like her. It bugs me even more than so many people actually do like her.
I hate her \I’m too honest and innocent for this game\ crap, especially since she tried to be everything but honest and innocent. She failed miserably at that, so now she’s trying to act like she’s somehow too good for the game.
The only one who needed to outbid Scabby was Penner — the others didn’t care, since they weren’t at risk. They were smart to eat.
Denies’ little speech aside, they’re all playing the ‘let’s take a goat to the final three’ strategy with Scabby.
Penner’s strategy was just up-and-down all season, but mostly down. I couldn’t believe he bid on food when he could have beat Scabby out for the advantage.
Her whole pretend to have an idol act was kind of cute. In that pathetic, completely unaware way of hers.
@ Mister_Dangerous ‘I found it fishy that Jeff didn’t make her read the whole note. Has that ever happened before?’
Actually, I understood the situation a little differently.
After coming back to camp with the ‘advantage note’, Scabby went away to read it and they showed very clearly that it was a single sheet of paper. They then showed the note in its totality, from the top to the bottom of page, and it clearly only detailed what her advantage was going to be, i.e. getting straight to the final stage of the next immunity challenge.
There wasn’t any other writing on there, NO ‘additional insturction only for the winner, to decide if she wants to share it with the tribe’, and NO clues to the HII. There was NOTHING ELSE!
When she was conniving in her TH that she is going to fool them all by insisting there was a HII clue there, I thought ‘you moron, Probst will make you read it aloud, and they will all know that you only got the challenge advantage’. Well, color me blown away.
The chutzpa on this bitch is something else, no matter how much I hate her, I gotta admit that. Who knew that her plan was to MAKE UP the SECOND PART of the note, pretend-destroy it so it could not be verified, and then LIE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE to all of them!!!
What I do not understand is WHY Probst did not call her out on it?!?!?! Since when is it allowed for participants to use producers as pawns in the game?? He should have called her out immediately, but it’s clear that they were pertified she will go home that day and take her drama with her, so they just let it slide as if it was always part of the rules. BULLSHIT!!!!!
I am so pissed about that one thing, urgghghhhhh!
Producers – stay the hell out of the game! Enough with the ‘subtle’ help to the pariahs when they most need it, enough with changing rules on the fly depending who they pertain to. Crap like that kills all the enjoyment for me. I like knowing that, regardless of anything else, the contestants are on even footing throughout the game. I need fair play, or else what is the point of getting behind anybody?
And that 3rd stage of the immunity challenge was SO F-ING RIGGED for her to win, this is not even funny anymore.
Scabby’s HII lie can’t work* even if Jeff didn’t call her out when she acted like it was up to her which portions of the note to read and not to read. As somebody else pointed out, it’s one thing to let people wonder if you have an idol, but to announce that you have it is something else. If she is claiming to have it and trying to get somebody else to change strategy based on that, all they have to do is say “Show me.”
*Yeah, I know. She couldn’t win immunity either.
Scabby’s exit should have preceded Penner’s. Poor Penner will be beating himself up over not accepting Lisa’s offer for years to come.
I think I’m with the minority here that is starting to become irked by Denise. I hate Scabby. The tribe hates Scabby. The audience hates Scabby. Everyone hates scabby. Scabby has been ganged up on and vilified. Scabby broke down and cried. Scabby’s “Persona Non Grata” Status has been firmly established. Over and over again. Even cosigned by Probst for the slow who didn’t quite get it the first time around. We get it. Therefore, Denise’s continued eye-rolling, annoying-face making, and condescending speechifying is getting old. Boot Scabby’s ass out, but please show some class if you want me to root for you.
Is anyone else looking forward to Malcolm’s brother as much as I am?? I know the previews are often misleading, but so far that looks like gold. He’s a fat, pale, brunette version of Malcolm (awesome!), and it looks like he might out Malcolm to the tribe as a douche! Or at least embarrass him. Bring it on.
I think someone high up in the showrunner category has a big thing for Abi, so that’s why she seems to get breaks from the powers that be that no one else would get. If it’s not Jeff, then he’s being obligated to go along with helping her. But since she’s gotten this far, a wise player would start thinking about taking her to the final three, because no one on that jury is going to vote for her.
Penner had no chance of winning anyway. But he’s great for making things happen — I like how he’s always scrambling, always stirring things up, but always in a genuinely nice way.
Contrast to Pete’s plans to create “chaos.” All he succeeded in doing was creating a rift between Scabbly and an essential ally (RC). The game might have been completely different if they’d had gone into the merge with an alliance of five instead of four.
I think Denise’s real frustration is that she knows the others plan to keep Scabby — which leaves one less place for herself. Denise has played an excellent social game, she’s been a major force in the competitions, and she’s great around camp — who wants to go to the finals with that?
The ideal final three includes Scabby and Lisa — because neither of them will receive any votes.
It seems to me Denise could easily win this by making a deal with Lisa and Skupin. They’re easy to manipulate. She can convince them that Malcolm is the only remaining threat and that she’ll get no votes from the one tribe because she opposed them and none from the other because she turned on Malcolm and they’ll buy it.
I knew we were in trouble when, the editors…right before the credits , had the clip of Denise saying something to the effect of (paraphrasing) Abi’s gone, unless by some miracle she wins immunity…at that point, I knew the unthinkable was going to happen.
Do I think they rigged the auction? No. Scabby is annoying, but she isn’t a complete moron. She knew from past shows that there would be an advantage and as Itchy said, Penner was the only one at risk and should have known better., the others were safe and ate.
What I did have a problem is that after she advances to the final three, the others (or Carter at least) not only have extra weights attached to them, they are also tired. And the challenge is UNTYING KNOTS?! That’s it…nothing physical, just who can untie knots quickest. That is where I call shenanigans!
Everybody here keeps saying final three, but is there a shot they are going to a final two for the first time in a while? Or have they done final three with an even number of jury members before? 8 jurors for a final three and 9 for a final two.
I love that you write what you’re actually thinking during the episode (i.e. Scabby has no chance to win immunity). So many recappers on other sites try to seem like they predict exactly what’s going to happen (i.e. because Denise said this, there’s no way Abi’s going home!) it always seems fake, like they don’t want to appear wrong. I like that you write what were all thinking, whether it’s right or not.
Ya know-I just got that– Denise spelled as Deny-s. Oh Penner–you wordsmith!!!!
I am still calling SHENANIGANS on Scabby getting the advantage and winning immunity. She had help from the producers. She is making good TV and its benficial to keep her around.
@ 5 Linda– agreeing with you–too much producer interference
This weeks family epsiode s/be fun!!!!! I agree that Malcolm’s bro could really give us some grins.
Even my husband had to admit the challenges are possibly rigged after Scabbies win…like, c’mon Captain Obvious! sigh…
Anyone catch what Malcolm’s brother was saying during the preview? Something about him looking like the Kentucky Fried colonel? Why was that embarrassing?
And contrary to popular opinion, I love Lisa/Blair.
I hope she makes it to the finals, and I also hope to see her much more often now that Survivor is (hopefully) re-starting her tv career.
@sweetblondie, I think you might be engaging in a little wishful thinking with respect to Lisa’s renewed TV career, unless you count the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I’m sure Paul and Jan would love to have her on, but I doubt that they would pay her. I’d watch if Jan were to give her a makeover.
Polk8dot:
Well, I suspect she’ll go home on Wednesday night UNLESS she wins again due to even more RIGGING!
I’m going to pray that her colon gets plugged up like Colton’s did — then she’ll beg to be taken out of the game and somebody will have to give her a FLEET enema.
@crankguy, I already saw her guest host The Talk…maybe there’s hope for a Non-100 Huntley Street career after all…
Oh, I don’t find Scabies as annoying as Colon or Hantz. I can definitely imagine that having to share the beach with her is pretty awful. But she doesn’t poison the atmosphere of the show (and dominate the editing) nearly as much as those other two. I put her more on the level of a Johnny Fairplay. Although he was a better actor.
I did not like Penner the first couple of times he was on Survivor, solely because he sounded like Alan Alda. (A weird bias I admit.) I have to say, he grew on me this time, like a fungus, and I was sorry to see him go.
I have watched the Ponderosa footage, though, and I’m not sure who I hate more, Scabby or RC. That woman’s laugh is enough to induce homicide. I think RC stands for Rectal Corrosion.
@sweetblondie – I also like Lisa – and I was kinda biased against her to start because I knew she was uber religious and I CANT STAND it when people on these shows act like the baby jeebus is going to somehow help them win. Cause if said baby spends his time picking reality show winner’s we certainly have more in common than I thought, but I am hoping he takes a higher road than I do when it comes to television viewing. Lisa has not shoved her views down my throat and she is very likeable. I think she has played well and her honesty has worked in her favor, instead of against her, which is very unusual in Survivor.
@Aunt Dorsey – I sooo agree about Penner’s voice! I think of Alan Alda every time I hear him speak. I made my boyfriend watch this week and it was the first thing he said when he heard Penner.
At any rate, this season has been one of my favorites because I actually think the final group (baby jeebus, please get rid of Scabby ASAP!) will be comprised entirely of people I think are worthy of winning. (except Carter, whom I always forget is even in the game).
As an aside to the Survivor talk, people who are Christian don’t worship the baby Jesus (why are nonbelievers so afraid of his name?) Christians celebrate the birth of Christ, the Savior. But Jesus died and rose again around age 33…an adult…and THAT is the basis for the religion.
Additionally, why would you hate someone solely because they are Christian? Would you say you hate someone just because they are some other religion? Jewish? Buddhist? Muslim? There are certainly Jews, Buddhists, and Muslims who are just as strident. And there are atheists who are far more loud and nasty about their beliefs. Do you hate them, too?
That said, I am still aggrieved that Penner is gone. He was my first choice for a win. I will continue to cheer for Lisa and Denise. Carter bores me, and I never really took to Malcolm. Skupin? Um…no.
Speaking of which, I’m pretty sure Scabies shouted out “Thank you god” when she won immunity, so she’s one of those too, I guess.
But yeah, I guess if you insist on believing in a god, then it might as well be one that’s willing to intercede on your behalf whenever you want (and in Scabies’ case, be willling to ignore your nastiness, bitchiness, laziness and meanness otherwise).
@Cattyfan: no one here “hates” Christians. That’d be ridiculous. It’s not like christianity is some defenseless victim either.
And this has nothing to do with christianity — it’s the overt in-your-face religiosity of certain people, particularly the more fanatical types, that makes me laugh at them. Especially when they go on reality television. (I get angry, on the other hand, when religious people use their beliefs to control people’s personal life and choices.)
It doesn’t matter what religion one pretends to believe in, they’re all equally laughable. And especially when they show up on reality television. So don’t worry!
But somehow, most other religious types don’t do this on reality tv. This club almost exclusively belongs to the born-again christian variety (well, the mormons are getting more and more active these days).
Trust me, if I lived in Israel, I’d be railing against the wacko orthodox over there too. And don’t get me started on those Buddhist monks who think self-immolation is a valid form of protest.
And we won’t even mention Scientology.
But it’s hard to make fun of atheists, since, for one, there’s no “church” of atheism, it’s not a belief system, and doesn’t have a set of supposed “values” that its members can break whenever they feel it expedient to do so.
Atheists are just normal intelligent people who don’t happen to confuse mythology with reality, and understand that they are entirely responsible for their own actions.
I’m kind of on the fence for who I want to win now. I was rooting for Penner, because he was the underdog. Now, I just don’t want Scabies to win. She is a mean-spirited, nasty pill.
I don’t have any problems with Lisa. She is not what I would call I “pew warmer”, seems to be a sincere lady and not at all preachy or in anyone’s face. But, I really don’t have a dog in this fight at this point.
I just want Scabies and RC to kill each other at the Ponderosa, or for both of them to kill Pete…….
Who is the nice looking guy that is Lisa’s “family from home” visitor????? Is it her son??? Maybe he’s too old to be that.
This week should really be alot of fun!!!!!!! Nothing like family visits to really muck up the works—am still laughing at creepy-Johnny Fairplay’s friend who came with the dead gramma story. I didnt buy it then and you know someone is trying to top that.
It’s not at all unusual for atheists to announce that they hate religion and religious people, especially Christianity and Christians. Christianity is just the larger target in the United States so atheists attack it much like vegans protest against McDonald’s and pretty much ignore Burger King. And Christianity is not protected under the umbrella of political correctness, so it’s fair game. I’m not sure, but I think it may be politically incorrect to be a Christian. Whadda ya think, itchy — Final Days?
Anyway, itchy is right about atheists being intelligent. They are all intelligent. Every single one. Steve Martin had a bit where he wakes up in heaven. “Where am I? Whaaaat? Noooooo … they told us in college this was all bullshit.”
At least he woke up in heaven!
Oh but hey, there’s good news. Bill O’Reilly just officially ruled that christianity is a philosophy, not a religion. It means those churches are finally going to start paying their fair share of taxes. Goodbye deficit!
For the record, I do not consider myself an atheist – and if you can’t refer to Jesus as the baby jeebus without recognizing it as being a little humorous then you are EXACTLY the kind of Christian I avoid. Avoid, not hate, by the way.
Again with the taxes? Fine. Look at churches as non-profit institutions of philosophy, then. They still won’t pay taxes. And there would be no “goodbye deficit” even if churches were taxed at 60%. Congress would just look at it as a windfall and spend extra hard, using confiscated money from God’s People™ to buy votes from common sinners. Shameful!
I have no idea, but you might know. Do you (not YOU, but the people who do it) get a deduction from taxes in France for church donations? Are there very many Christians left in France, or are they now a fringe group?
There are tons of christians left in France. They tend to have tons of money because, well, you know, the taxes thing. At the moment they’re all camping out in front of the parliament trying to stop the government from FINALLY ending the discrimination against gay marriage here. But they’re nowhere near as obnoxious as the christians in the States.
