Survivor Ponderosa is back for its third season as Brendan becomes the first to enter the jury lounge. It’s more a like a campsite this season with tents, tents and more tents. Even the shower is in a tent! Below are the first two episodes of Survivor Ponderosa. The first features Brendan’s first night on the jury as he reacts to being voted off and his new home. The second shows the next few days as he prepares to get back into the game and realizes all that are left will be considered friends. Last year we had tons of drama going on in Ponderosa. I hope that’s the same this time around and have a feeling Coach entering will bring even more craziness.
On last weeks Survivor, Charlie was kicked out of the game thanks to Nobag’s weakest members. Tonight those who were friends with Charlie weren’t too happy as Randy and Corinne silently freaked out, well for the night following Tribal Council at least. The following day it was all about the hidden idols. Yes I put an s on that, although there really aren’t two. Bob found it smart, for some reason, to tell Sugar, and only Sugar, that he made a fake Immunity Idol. She played it off well as she didn’t let on that she has the real one. In the end Sugar just became even more powerful as she has the real idol and knows that there is another one now floating around. Who would have though she’d become the most powerful person in the game? I sure didn’t! With the idols now out in the air it was time for the next reward. While getting the tree mail both Corinne and Randy talked about how much they hated everyone remaining. They feel they are the only two now aligned from old Kota and realized that Matty had to switch over.
This tie with Matty played a role in the next reward challenge which brought back the Survivor Auction. Each of the players were given $500 and given the chance to bid on several items. First up were three cold beers and it was a bidding war between Randy and Sugar. She kept bidding to get Randy’s bid higher and higher and it worked. After getting the beer, Randy was left with only $320. The next item up was the dreaded covered item and Kenny took it home. It was a note to send someone to Exile Island and gain their money. Kenny didn’t waste any time and sent Bob to exile once again, knowing there is no idol and knowing Bob thinks there is. Sugar, who had been very vocal, got the next item of chocolate and peanut butter while Susie won a bubble bathe. Corinne won the only other individual reward in an advantage in the next immunity challenge. Kenny could have outbid her but in the end he didn’t need it. The last item was for the tribe and Randy won cookies for everyone. Although it was a nice gesture he turned into an idiot. He wanted to “own all the cookies” and designated who got the most. He gave Corinne and Matty one and half each while everyone received one. In the end only one cookie remained and, since she didn’t take one at first, Sugar took the last cookie and gave it to Matty. Randy wasn’t to happy about that move and made everyone know when returning to camp.
On last weeks Survivor Marcus was blindsided but he won’t be along after tonights episode is said and done. After Kota’s first “real” tribal council since the third episode it was time to discuss the blindside. Kenny called himself the new “Crystal” after speaking out during the session while Bob realized he was next to go if they lost again. He made a somewhat stupid joke, about being “history” if they lost again. He’s a science teacher. Ha…. ha.. no. Over at Fang things were still looking bleak as they weren’t given rice with the swap. Both tribes are hoping for a merge while Corinne just hopes to see Marcus.
At the next reward challenge it was all about slingshot golf. When Fang got their first glimpse at the new Kota both Corinne’s and Charlie’s mouths dropped. They were very angry and let everyone know. Corinne claimed that Marcus didn’t deserve to go, while Kenny fought back saying nobody deserves to go. Charlie was less subtle, saying that he’s upset that Marcus went but still mad. For the actual challenge the two tribes would play best two out of three, facing off in slingshot golf. They would slingshot a ball towards a flag poll, the first to get it in the sand pit near the flag would gain a point. Kota was able to gain the first point thanks to Bob’s crazy shot while Fang rebounded by getting the second point. That pit the two tribes against each other in the last course. Kota landed right next to the sand pit while Fang bounced a little too far. While trying to get the ball only two inches from the pit Randy started freaking out. They were obviously going to get it in no matter what yet he wanted perfection. In the end Matty plopped the ball into the pit, giving Fang their first reward win as a new team.
After 71 days of fun, drama, fights and twists, Big Brother 10 is now officially over with Dan claiming all 7 jury votes to win one of the best Big Brother seasons yet. The night started off with a well rounded recap of the entire summer. With Brian and his friends leaving first things looked bleak for Dan and Memphis, his two remaining friends, but when their alliance was born it ruled the entire game. Dan and Memphis worked everyone until the very end and that’s why that sat in the finals. Both played off of each other, keeping each other safe yet still playing for themselves. It all came down to the seven votes and the seven people they helped evict.
At the jury house everyone had an opinion on who they wanted to see. Libra wanted Jerry out but Renny didn’t even want to think of looking at him. Keesha wanted Memphis in the jury, for obvious reasons, while was very adamant about wanting Dan out. When Jerry walked through the door everyone was talking about him. Well rather bashing him. He didn’t catch the discussion though but most gave him a cold shoulder as they weren’t too thrilled he was back in their lives. All the girls on the jury had a very strong opinion on who should win. April battled for Memphis to win the money, simply because she hated that Dan got not only her but her boyfriend Ollie out as well. Keesha, Libra and Renny stuck to their guns for Dan and continually bashed Memphis. Renny said that Memphis didn’t play the game and she was in no way going to give him her vote. April basically said the same for Dan and continued on with her delusional self. Jerry seemed still upset with Dan but didn’t really give much of a reason. Michelle stayed rather quiet, other then telling Jerry about her trip with Dan. Ollie of course said hardly anything.
On the special edition of Big Brother 10 some of the best moments from the season are showcased. Although only a few new scenes were chosen it was a nice way to end the season with a recap of all the good, and sometimes bad, memories. The show started off with Jerry being evicted and both Dan and Memphis celebrating. They’ve been planning for several weeks now to get to this point and were ecstatic to actually be in the finals. At one point they both agreed they were there because they controlled their emotions and didn’t get into any fights. That may just be the case.
When it came time to showcase some of the houseguests both Jerry and Renny received the most airtime. They were the comedic relief of the season. Jerry’s senior antics were the talk of many conversations in the house and with the first of the new footage we saw Jerry attempting to do a rap. Ollie told him to not dance when rapping, but Jerry didn’t listen. They also showed his fights with Memphis and others and both Renegades were shocked at how well he actually did. With Renny you never knew what you were going to get. I’m so glad they finally showed her impressions on the show as they were great on the feeds. I’m surprised they didn’t show her doing Keesha though as she was dead on. Of course they just had to show Renny’s famous antic from night one of being stuck in her room. It set off one of the better feuds on the show between Jessie that lasted the entire time both were in the house.
Although James won’t be visiting Ponderosa just yet thanks to his hospital stay Alexis has and she brought some drama with her. Its no surprise that Ozzy isn’t too happy with her as is Jason. Alexis plows into Ponderosa claiming to have never lied and thinks she played an amazing game. Eliza doesn’t like that too well and let’s us know that. In the other two videos we see some perks about living in Ponderosa as it seems somewhat worth it to “drop” out of the game to enjoy the benefits of the jury house.
