Wendy then interrupts the start of voting to tell Jeff she wants to make a speech. Jeff sits back down and lets her yada yada yada until he is sure she is done. Her yada yada yada consists of how honest she is and funny and how people at home love her so they should keep for that, etc. From the looks on everyone's faces as she yada yada yada's and yada's some more, she's a goner and yep - it's official - Wendy is gone.

LOL! That sure is the way it went! Yada yada yada

Awesome, thanks, Kappy! My local station (canadian) will have the episode up to watch tomorrow sometime, but I swear in seasons past someone was here giving the play by play during commercials. At any rate, your summary is much appreciated. Love the humour. Thank you!!

Karen ~ I missed a few minutes right before the challenge began where I assume Jeff explained to the old wise ones what the power of the necklace was. When I came back in, they had just decided not to use it. Maybe someone else can tell us what the powere is?

I'm excited about this season. I love that there's an equal amount of over 40 folks to under 40 folks. For years I've been frustrated with these shows when they have 2 over 40s and the main bulk of the cast was younger contestants. As an over 40 viewer, I'm looking forward to the older group doing well. I think voting out Wendy was the best choice. I felt bad for her, she seemed like a fish out of water socially amongst the others.

My impression is that the necklace will offer an advantage at each immunity challenge based on tonight's show but with Survivor and all reality shows these days it's hard to say.

Had the older bunch used it, it would have been additional water already in the bucket they had to fill. (Don't remember how much it would have been.) Challenge ended kind of close, so it might have made a difference which team won. Someone on younger team said she / they would have used it.

When a team uses it, then the power transfers to the other team.

Yes, the power is some advantage in the challenge. For this challenge the advantage was that there would already be water in their bucket, so they'd have to add less. If they choose to use the power, then the necklace transfers over to the other team.

I liked their strategy of not using the power at first, but maybe it wansn't a good one. Only time will tell.

The advantage (for this challenge) was a 20% head start. They needed 5 buckets worth of water & they would have started out with 1 bucket already. BUT, if they used the power, they would have to turn it over to the other team so the other team would have the power & advantage in the next challenge (or just hold on to it)

This challenge was not so physical that the younger ones would have an advantage. There was only a slight difference in the bucket filling time but the older team was lost on the puzzle & doubt if the extra time would have really helped. I think that holding on to it, just so the other team doesn't get an advantage next/another time was a good ploy.

Yikes! Wendy sure convinced them and talked her way home. Sorry Wendy, the goats in your herd might find the constant chatter amusing but it would be a nightmare around camp. Funny to look at their faces while they were all realizing that she might turn into a problem coming at them, not merely because of being weaker & socially inept. I don't think I've ever seen someone before so effectively convince all of them to vote her off.

As far as using the "Power Necklace", I think that Jimmy J coach guy was correct. They don't KNOW what challenges are coming down the pike, and this was one that (working together) they had a good chance to compete. The one I think lost the challenge for the old team was the lady up top. Instead of carefully pouring the water down, like the younger team lady appeared to do, she was sloshing it. She lost more water than she was sending down their gutters. That difference in time might have given them enough time to do the puzzle since it appeared close.

I think that other mouthy guy on the old team is going to be a divisive problem. Think he was Jimmy T, Coml Fisherman. I don't think he's going to last very long. I don't know anything whatsoever about that Jimmy J. coach guy, liked him, but I think he's really an asset that they will hang onto.

Jimmy J was far less "take charge"' than I feared he would be! Keeping himself reined in proved to me that he is a real Survivor fan and knows how to play the game!

I was pleasantly surprised by Jimmy J. I have never heard of him, but I was afraid he was going to turn into a loud-mouth know-it-all or something. I ended up liking him. I can't stand Jimmy T, though. And I don't like some of the younger folks, especially Shannon. I was so hoping to see the older team take them down a peg.

Oh, and I could easily see Shannon turning into a "Silas" from S3. Remember how cocky and arrogant he (and his minions) was about getting rid of all the older people?

Shannon is nice eye candy, but I'm anxiously waiting for a woman to cause his demise. He seems to have some barbaric attitudes! I'd like to see Brenda be his downfall.

Keeping the necklace was a good move. The first few losses you just get rid of the weak links, and the necklace could really make a difference in a physical challenge.

It was pretty funny that Wendy talked herself into getting voted out at TC.

I'm not buying for a minute that a few of them didn't know who Jimmy Johnson is...

I have a friend who'd I'd bet doesn't know Jimmy Johnson. Has no interest in sports. I'll have to ask her. I also wouldn't be surprised if my mom didn't know who he was.

I live in South FL and Jimmy Johnson has been on several local radio interviews this week. He said he has watched the show since season 1 and is a huge fan and has always wanted to be on. he applied a couple of times - once he didn't pass the physical and ended up having to get a heart stint.

I think with his game knowledge and his ability to convince his team that he isn't out for the money and can't win, he should be around for a while - hope so anyway.

I agree that the fisherman may need to go next!

Thanks, all, for the explanation of the power of the necklace and I agree that they made the right choice in keeping it.

I honestly had no idea who Jimmy Johnson was, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but I don't really see what the big deal is about him. But then I don't follow sports except Carolina basketball.

I also had no clue who Jimmy J was. He seems like a nice enough guy and more power to him for working so hard to get on his favorite reality show but beyond that, I'd rather hear about some of the other folks on the show.

My husband said that Jimmy J has a degree in psychology. I think if he continues to play like he played on the first episode that he might be able to hang in there for a while.

I am so glad that survivor is back on. :-)
