Here's Jeff's Blog on Episode 2:
********************************

I have to start by saying… “Thank You!”

You guys are the greatest and most loyal audience a show could ever hope to have on its side!

After dominating Thursday night at 8pm for nearly 10 years, Survivor moved to Wednesday night. This was a big move. What would happen? Would our audience stay with us or would this be the beginning of the end?

Well, not only was Survivor the #1 show of the night in all the key demos, holllla…!… but our ratings actually went up from a year ago. That just does-not-happen in television these days.

It’s all because of you. You stayed with us. You changed your viewing habits. Whatever you were watching on Wednesday nights, you’re not anymore.

So.. once again, we say thank you.

Okay now onto the episode.

Hellllllo crazy woman #2! You thought Wendy was a little wacky, hang on, cause here comes Holly!

It’s only day 4 or 5 and already she is losing her mind. Let me preface all of this by saying that I actually really enjoy Holly. I think she’s a good person and she just had a very rough first few days, but man she was going bonkers.

As is so often the case, we didn’t have enough time to show you all the different ways that Holly was losing her mind, but I don’t think you need to see much more than her taking somebody’s expensive dress shoes, filling them with sand and tossing them in the ocean… for what appeared to be no good reason.

On second thought – what’s crazier? Sinking a pair of $1600 alligator shoes in the ocean… or paying $1600 for a pair of shoes?! Dan… sixteen hundred dollars? Really? For a pair of shoes? Alligator, no less? All of it just feels very wrong. Maybe Holly did you a favor sinking those things. Then again you’ve probably already replaced them and plan on wearing them at the live show in December!

Note to Jimmy T: – the reason nobody is asking you what you think is because you’re always telling everybody what you think. God gave you ears for a reason – try listening for a change. Man. I have a lot of patience but I will be honest, I’d be hard pressed not to vote out Jimmy T – regardless if he was in my alliance, if he had six idols, even if his uncle was Les Moonves, my boss. Okay, maybe I’d put up with him if indeed his uncle was Les Moonves. But I’d want proof first. Otherwise – el gonzo.

Hey Marty, don’t start patting yourself on the back. You’re not out of the Probst doghouse either. Granted, you are much more controlled, much more subdued and a far better listener than Jimmy T. But your determination to get rid of Jimmy Johnson is irrational. It’s envy. Pure envy, brotha. You know I’m speaking the truth. You should rethink it… the man can lead. He’s calm.

Did you see the way he talked Holly back into the game. He was very comforting and he did it without judgment. That’s leadership. He understands that people have ups and downs. No big deal. He knows the key is to simply get your head back in the game and everything will be okay.

Marty and Jimmy T – I’m gonna say it again – ease up on Jimmy J. There’s a time and a place for everything but don’t vote him out based on spite. You two should give “The New Earth” a read.

While we’re at it – Naonka, there’s still plenty of room in this doghouse, so come on in and plop it. I’ll even give you a bone to chew on since you’ve been yapping like a dog these first two episodes.

Naonka: (On Kelly Bruno and her artificial leg)
“If we have to race and that leg falls off… she’s outta here.”

And with that line, Naonka moves to the front of the line for “America’s Favorite Survivor.” Touching.

Naonka, did you see Kelly B work her way through that mud and the hay? You may wanna think twice about challenging her to a race! Personally, that was all I needed to see. Kelly’s leg is absolutely no disadvantage. The girl can move.

Naonka: “I don’t want anybody to think that I’m a B-I-T-C-H.”

Hmm… uh.. trying to figure out how to say this without offending… well, that might be tough, so I guess I’ll just say it straight up… no beating around the bush… gonna just lay it out the way I see it.

Naonka, as far as wanting to make sure that nobody thinks you’re a b*tch…. Girl, it’s too late. That ship has sailed.

You might be able to turn it around, but for the time being, you are the b*tch of the show, and the little that I know about you, I’m pretty sure you’re okay with that title.

In fairness to Naonka, as lippy and sassy as she is, she did make me laugh often. She does have a good sense of humor, she just needs to think a little bit before she speaks. Maybe her and Jimmy T should sit down for a little meditation together. Go to China. Meet a Monk or something.

And I’m not even gonna get into Naonka stealing somebody’s socks. These people are out of their friggin minds! It’s only day five!

Thank God Fabio is still sane.

THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL
Marty: (to Jill) “I got the idol. I got the idol baby. I got the first idol—(realizing the error of his statement)- WE got the first idol!”
Jill: (knowingly) We got the idol.

Damn Marty. You are out of control. Jill was the one who figured out the clue. She then came and told you where to look. Then she came and inspired you to keep looking and when you finally find it, the first words out of your mouth are… “I got it!?” I? I?

Maybe I should just send you “The New Earth” and not wait for you to get it yourself.

MEN ARE FROM MARS
Chase, I know you prayed to God to bring you someone you could trust. But who are you kidding? You don’t “trust” Brenda because God sent her to you, you trust Brenda for the same reason every guy would trust Brenda – she’s hot. Just say it. Own it. It’ll feel so much better. Everybody can appreciate falling for a beautiful woman. No slight to God intended, I’m just saying that this decision didn’t need anybody’s blessing. It’s a slam dunk.

But to everyone else — if you’re in an alliance with Chase, you need to get out now! He’s crazy over Brenda and he’s going to tell her everything. Someone put a rope around his neck and drag him back into the shelter. Bring him here to the Probst doghouse. You’ve got to do something or he’ll bring you down.

TRIBAL COUNCIL
That was not editing – I asked one opening question and Shannon just started talking. Much like Wendy, he just wouldn’t shut up. The more he talked, the more he influenced the tribe to vote him out. When someone is that aggressive it’s hard not to have a reaction. Shannon was aggressive.

I think he sealed his fate when he asked Sash, out of nowhere, “Are you gay?” And then followed it up with, “New York is full of gay people.”

Too bad the finale for this season is in LA, woulda been kinda fun to get a group and take Shannon out to a couple of gay bars in Manhattan.

When I saw the message Sash had for Shannon as he voted, I laughed out loud:

Sash: “You should have known better than to mess with the biggest bachelor in NY. As they say in Nicaragua, Hasta La Vista!”

I’m not laughing with or at Sash, I’m just laughing because it’s so damn funny. It’s just funny watching Sash with that confident grin of his proclaiming to be the biggest bachelor in one of the biggest cities in the entire world. Sash, we must hang. I want to watch you work your magic, baby! Maybe you, me and Shannon should all go to the Big Apple and party! Hollllla!

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW
Shannon – it’s with mixed emotions that we say goodbye. Your one-liners were fantastic and had you lasted longer you would have given us many more laughs. But the longer you lasted the more unlikable you would have become. It’s true. Doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy, it just means that in this environment you… were… well.. unlikable. I’m only speaking about this game. I’m sure your life is full of love and great friendships. Survivor just wasn’t your destiny.

In closing, I will say what I say to all guys who are much bigger than me. Shannon, please don’t kick my ass when you see me again. I voted for you to be on the show – you delivered a lot, you left too soon, but you weren’t long for the game. You just came on too strong.

See ya next week!

Before I go checking anything out, let me just tell you what I already know about Episode 3 from reading spoiler missyae and watching Episode 2.

1 - The young people now have the Medallion of Power.
2 - The older people are going to lose the Immunity Challenge and go to TC.
3 - Jimmy J. is going to take the "walk of shame"
4 - Marty and Jill (and maybe Dan) have a hidden immunity idol.
5 - Alina and Kelly B. have the clues to a hidden immunity idol at the younger camp.

I'll come back once I find any good stuff.

Thanks, Alaginger! Loved Jeff's blog this week! I sooo agree that Marty and Jimmy T are jealous of Jimmy J.

Thanks to Survivor Fever for pics and transcript for Episode 3:
***************************

Transcript:

Jeff Probst: Next time on Survivor, La Flor faces a game changing decision.

1
2
3
Jeff Probst [at challenge]: Now to the Medallion of Power. Young tribe, are you gonna use it or not?

Probst: Coach Jimmy tries to recruit some new players.

4
5
Jimmy Johnson [calling at monkeys]: Wooo hooo hooo.

Male Tribemate: What did they say?

6
Jimmy: They said get your ass out of here.

Ginger: There were also some pics of NaOnka going off about Kelly B., and then Kelly B. and Alina talking head to head and looking over their shoulder at NaOnka .... but there was no transcript with it, so I'll wait to bring those over when there is wording with it.

SquidProQuo over at Survivor Blows points out a couple of things in the pics for Episode 3 that I think are of interest:
***********************
1
Look at the shelter. See what looks like the Hidden Immunity Clue attached to the top of the shelter. If it is, then did Alina and Kelly B. decide to share it with the rest of the tribe???
or, is that the 2nd clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, and the rest of the tribe wants to know where the original clue is? If so, these two gals might get busted!

2
Here's a picture of 5 younger tribemates sitting together on the beach, and after the last TC, it looks like this might be an alliance of 5. There's NaOnka and Sash who talked last week about a minority alliance, and bringing in Brenda, who would bring Chase tailing along behind her, and purple Kelly. If so, that would leave Benjy, Jud (Fabio), Kelly B. and Alina out of the core.

Yes we have some bananas . ..

I can't believe they are going to boot Jimmy J before Jimmy T or Holly. Maybe Jimmy J starts failing physically or something. I know there are a couple of jealous haterz on his team, but not enough of them to boot a valuable asset this soon.

Do you reckon???...............just a thought!!!
***********************************

Remember in Episode 1 when Jimmy J. said the weakest 2 were himself and Wendy. Do you reckon he tells his teammates that he is not as strong as the rest of them and places himself on the line? So far, the only ones I've seen that seem to have a grudge toward Jimmy J. are Jimmy T. and Marty, and that's just jealousy. The women would probably vote anyway the guys say if it means one of them doesn't have to leave. One thing for sure, Jeff Probst is not a happy camper with Jimmy J. getting the boot.

Say it ain't so..........

Awwww...I like Jimmy J. Didn't think I would. Expected him to be arrogant and bossy. The old tribe will suffer at his loss.

Jimmy T. and Marty are just green with jealousy and I can't believe the entire tribe would follow anything they suggest.

And really Holly, have you lost your mind? Of course Dan is already crazy for paying $1600 for a pair of shoes. Not in this lifetime.

And for the "playpen" tribe....You go girl, Kelly with the one leg! Kick some arss.

Will someone shoot Naonka and put her out of her misery and everyone else's too?

Dang! Lots of mouthy people this time, irritating but it makes for a great show!

Thanks for all your spoiling Ginger. I don't post much, but read all the time!

Thanks Ginger for all you do here....i love your spoils and info. As Jackie Gleeson used to say......Baby, you're the greatest :-)

Nicaragua Episode 2 Tribal Council Voting

Find out what each member of the La Flor tribe said as they cast their votes for the second person voted off Survivor Nicaragua

Kelly B (Shannon): I'm sorry, but I have to save myself.

Jud (Brenda): I guess this is still our game plan? I don't really know. Sorry, Brenda.

Na Onka (Shannon with a sad face over the "o"): I had to do it because I heard you were plotting on me.

Chase (Shannon): Sorry, dude. I know I lied to you, but I want to play this game with some of the people I can trust and for whatever reason I don't feel like in my gut I can trust you. I'm sorry, man. Hopefully we can be friends after this.

Brenda (Shannon): Chase saved my life tonight, and Shannon ended his. It was either me or him, so this was an easy vote for me. Good luck.

Shannon (Brenda): I don't know if it matters. I'll probably be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches tonight.

Kelly S (Shannon): Shannon is drama, and he's tearing apart the team. He's gotta go.

Benri (Shannon): I didn't come here with the intention to write your name down, man, but after tonight, I think it's only gonna better the tribe. So...

Alina (Brenda): Brenda, you're a huge threat. You broke up a 6-person alliance today and you hide behind the fact that you're sweet and quiet. You're gonna take everybody down. You have to leave.

Sash (Shannon): You should have known better than to have messed with the biggest bachelor in New York. As they say in Nicaragua, hasta la vista.

Ok gotta say it

I now cheer for da BEARS!! but I learned football from my dear Aunts in Texas - we would rent a hotel room to watch the games blocked - the Cowboys were "it" - and the leader - dear Tom Laundry (QB Staubach - yes, I'm old!!) but when they booted Tom - I had nothing to do with the whole team! Jimmy J blech - -

but I am finding some respect for this guy now!! He's really more human than I gave him credit for!! Go Jimmy J!

Here's the CBS Misdirection for Episode 3:
******************************************

AN ALLIED PAIR WITH A POWERFUL SECRET MAKES A SURPRISING ANNOUNCEMENT TO THEIR TRIBE IN THE HOPES THAT THEIR DARING STRATEGY WILL PAY OFF, ON "SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA," WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29
'Glitter in Their Eyes' - A battle erupts over a clue to the hidden immunity idol and one fearless competitor makes a bold move that earns them the upper hand, but the bad behavior doesn't go unnoticed by their tribemates, on SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA, Wednesday, Sept. 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

*******************************************
Plus here is the rest of the pics and transcript that were missing above when I posted pictures:

Probst: And Naonka strikes...

(Voices from Naonka's tribemates heard in backround while Naonka walks toward shelter and pulling a bag or something (?) around her neck off):
1
2
3
What are you doing?

4
What's that about?

5
Naonka: "I'll push you so hard that your damn leg will fly off."
**********************************
Also ... reading some of the "Insider" stuff, all I saw worth mentioning was that Kelly B. and Alina still have not figured out the clues on the Hidden Idol paper and have been searching around a cave cause they think that first picture has to do with a cave.

Re:Naonka, I would love to know how she acts at her school. I dont see how someone like her can work with kids, God forbid if any of her students are perfect.

Yes, this is the spoiler thread for Episode 3 (only).

There is a general thread for spoilers that pertain to the whole season.

Some people don't like to know the whole season, so we keep it separated.

Naonka: "I'll push you so hard that your damn leg will fly off."


I don't see how she can say this without a lot of public outrage. To me this is just as bad as discriminating someone for their race, religion or sexual orientation. Kelly can't help that she has a prosthetic leg; it sure doesn't seem to stop her carrying her weight.

I find Naonka TOTALLY offensive!

Speaking of discrimination, I remember from episode One, Naonka and (I think) Shannon talking about who to take to the finals. Shannon told Naonka that he is half black and that the minorities should go to the final together, and he included Brenda as well as the two of them and to vote out the others. (I am paraphrasing here--hope I remember it correctly)
OK, so what if white people said they weren't taking any minorities to the final? I'm just sayin'.
I don't know what to think about all this, but it really bothers me.
Does anyone else remember that conversation?

I remember the conversation, but I thought it was Sash talking to NaOnka, talking about bringing in Brenda an Asian American. Someone please correct me if I got Sash wrong, still trying to figure who's who.

But when people are 'bonding' of course they will try to make an alliance with people that they think will go along with their plan & have what they think are similar life experiences. What's the alternative? Survivor should ONLY have Caucasians one season, then Asians another season ...etc?

Yes, it was Matthew (Sash) that was talking to NaOnka, buttering her up with how she looked and how strong she appeared to be, and then said they should link up, kinda a mini-alliance, because he was half-black, and then maybe they could bring in Brenda. I think he was just trying to find a common bond to get an alliance going.

But, the alliance now also has Chase and purple Kelly in it.....so that 3-way mini-alliance thing didn't last long.

You are correct that it was Sash having this convo -
