It seems like just yesterday that Survivor Nicaragua began. Some very interesting players were brought into our homes each week along with drama, laughter, and some downright incredible behavior. It has yet again been a delightful season to watch and I am sad that one more chapter in Survivor history will soon be complete. Today is the eve of the finale, and I have to say I am happy with the final 5 standing, even though a few of them would be disappointing winners for me.
It goes without saying that I am rooting for Holly to win. A dream came true for me this season. I may have met Rupert a few years ago, but that is as far as that went. Holly, however, has become a personal friend of mine. I can call or text her anytime I want to. Heck, I can even invite her over for coffee if I feel like it. Out of the hundreds of people who have played this game, I couldn't have asked for a better Survivor friend. And no matter what she wins, even if it's nothing, I will still be honored to call her my friend long after this is over.
This latest episode was the family episode. It was so touching it brought me to tears. Charlie looked amazing on television! He, like his wife, is a wonderful person to know in real life. He is friendly and funny. I wish all of them could've spent more time with their loved ones.
Jane is quite the spitfire! She was livid upon finding out she was being voted out by those who had promised to take her to the final. Others may not agree, but I absolutely loved her putting the fire out. Go out with a bang, I say.
Tribal Council was, well, Tribal Council. Jane definitely spoke her mind. She basically called my friend a thief for taking Dan's shoes at the beginning of the season. But the part about Tribal that really blew my mind is that Jeff basically told them how they should vote, but yet Dan, Jane and Fabio didn't do it! Now remember, I want Holly to win and was relieved they didn't vote her out, but honestly what Jeff said made sense. He told them how to vote and they didn't. I guess neither of those three really want to win that badly after all.
I loved the photos taken at the reward. Holly, Chase and Sash obviously had a good time with it!
The finale is tomorrow night. I can hardly wait!

"Kelly-Nay, 'cause they're both chicken"
"Survivors ready....go!" America was blessed with another great episode of Survivor this past Wednesday night. This season is quickly coming to an end, and I am very happy with the last few people standing. I can honestly say that overall I like each one of them for different reasons (okay a few of them I like only slightly), and I am confident that I will be happy with the outcome at the finale.
The reward challenge for this episode was a second chance challenge, and Chase rocked it! He looked as though he had been practicing for it for a week straight! Afterwards, when Jeff told him he could take two people with him, he graciously took Holly, and she deserved it after what happened the previous week. He also took Jane, and Sash did not like that. Not one bit. He was under the impression Chase would take him on the reward.
And the reward was great. They were able to shower and eat some decent food. Chase admitted to Holly that he made a mistake taking Jane with, and Holly agreed with him.
Jane on this particular episode really reminded me of Jan from Thailand. I remember her crying over a dead bird, and now we have Jane doing it. I think it is taken a bit too far though when these ladies start making memorials for the dead animals.
The immunity challenge was an intense one, and we found out that Jane was once a cheerleader. She was cheering everyone on, but Fabio didn't appreciate it. He mumbled, "Shut up," under his breath while trying to concentrate on his puzzle.
I loved Jeff calling out the losers as they walked into Tribal Council. I am glad he did it and I hope he continues doing it. They need to be reminded that they are lucky to be sitting up there with people like Brenda, Alina and Marty who are far from quitters.
Only one more episode until the incredible finale! I cannot wait to see how this season ends. I just know in my heart that my friend Holly will walk away with a title of some sort. And she truly deserves it!

"There is nothing left for me to suck"
It seems like an eternity since my last blog, but I didn't do one last week for the simple fact it was the recap episode and therefore I would've been writing about things I have already written about in previous posts. I still enjoyed it, though. It's always nice to see the never-before-seen scenes.
I enjoyed the most recent episode of Survivor, as usual. It was packed with excitement, some good and some not-so-good. But I really feel that my friend Holly is hands down winning fan favorite vote this season. That woman has a beautiful and caring heart and it definitely showed on air.
My two favorite moments of this episode were seeing Dan sitting in the oversized chair, swinging his legs like a four year old, and Purple Kelly's quote that will be forever remembered: "There is nothing left for me to suck."
Just like the rest of you, I can't stand quitters in the game of Survivor. I feel if you can't handle the heat then stay out of the kitchen. And I know without a doubt that I would be the first one myself to cry and bitch about the cold and lack of sleep, etc. I am a huge baby and I know it and that is why I would never even bother applying for the show in the first place. These two girls quit with only 11 days remaining and that is unacceptable. There should be some sort of penalty for them.
My feelings about NaOnka have changed after watching the crap she pulled last week. I no longer like her as much as I did. She had already said she wanted to quit but yet it was okay for her to still participate in the reward?! That disgusted me. She has a grinch-sized heart.
Last Wednesday was also the first time I had the honor of attending a Survivor viewing party, thanks to my friend Holly. I had a really amazing time! I took a friend of mine with me, and although she is not the die-hard fan that I am, I think she still had a good time. Holly texted me and said we could meet her at the hair salon so we did. We walked in and said hello to her, then went and sat down and visited with Holly's mother and also a dear friend of her's, and of course Mr. Holly Hoffman. We then headed to Dublin Square where the party was held. It was a good turnout, and I had the honor of sitting at the same table as Holly, front row! When she made the comment on the show about wanting a hotdog, someone had a few brought to her! I didn't get much Holly time because she was busy with all of her admirers, but we did chat a little bit and we did get a few photos, one of which is my new Facebook photo. She also told me that when she comes back to Rapid City in January to help her son move that she and I will have a girl day at the spa. I am really looking forward to that!
Only a few more episodes to go until the big finale! It will be a great finish, I am sure!
