S29.E13: Let's Make A Move

[Tara Ariano]

A shocking tribal council leads to one of the biggest blindsides of the season. Also, an ankle injury threatens one castaway's ability to remain in the game.

[blackwing]

So they are not even trying to be subtle about it anymore, are they.  "Shocking tribal council" and "biggest blindside".  That can only mean that either 1) Jaclyn flips on Jon and Jon is voted out, or 2) Missy and Baylor flip on Natalie and Natalie is voted out.

[peachmangosteen]

I think there's at least two other scenarios that could potentially happen.

We have been talking about the possibilities here.

[peachmangosteen]

Yea, I didn't want to put anything here since it's potentially spoilery. Even though it's literally just us guessing!

[LizBug]

Now that the challenge is over, there are some great possibilities.

[dizzyd]

That was all Natalie, Smart cookie. How long are they going to let Missy show run?

[Haleth]

Wow! That was a fantastic strategy! Nat deserves the win for that alone.

[cooksdelight]

That was friggin' awesome! Way to go Natalie.

[Bubbacat]

Well, that was satisfying. Did you visualize THAT, Jon?

[susannot]

That was all Natalie, Smart cookie. How long are they going to let Missy show run?

 

YESS!  Some really good strategic thinking by Natalie.  She is my girl.  Good on you for getting Jon out, and beating everyone in a really hard immunity challenge.

[ElleryAnne]

Nice.  Hoping Natalie wins for pulling that one off.

[bluebonnet]

This was the first episode of this season that I actually liked.  Enjoyed it so much.  My girl Nat...wonderful strategizing.  

[Donny Ketchum]

Well, I guess this finally answers the question as to whether or not idols can be played on revotes.  They can't be, based on Jon not playing his.

 

Anyway, Natalie ownage!  That was orgasmic!  She ran the show from start to finish, and good on her for it!  I do reckon that confessional about Nadiya might set her up quite nicely for at least facing the jury!

 

Goodbye, Jon, you arrogant, insufferable prick.  You got too comfortable and complacent, thought you were the mastermind of the whole game, and lost everything when you trusted your alliance way too much!

 

Whoever would've thought that Missy and Baylor would be the last pair fully intact?!  Wow! . . . Well, I kinda did based on the editing of the early episodes. . . .

 

Natalie for the win next week!  And Baylor in second, please!  I don't care who comes in third, though, so long as Jaclyn doesn't sniff the Final Tribal Council.  A win for her would equal one for Jon by proxy, and we can't have that.

[cooksdelight]

That's two guys named John who left with an idol in their pocket in the same season. That is probably a record that won't be beat again. Hopefully.

[PaperTree]

Well played Natalie!  

 

When it looked as if Missy might go out, I thought that would secure J or J going, since Missy might be tough to get on board, but this is better.  I hope the HII doesn't return.

 

Keith could just win this thing.  If he gets to the Final the guys will all vote for him.

[truthaboutluv]

The editing is really killing this season for me. I haven't been truly surprised at any boot except for Jeremy's and I guess I was surprised at how epicly Keith managed to screw up the first plan to get rid of Jon. But other than that, every boot has been so obvious from the first five minutes of the game. I will say that seeing Natalie get emotional about Nadiya, I did think for a moment she could be the one going home with Baylor turning on her, especially when Jaclyn started voicing concern that she meant to vote for Alec.

 

However, when the Immunity Challenge came down to her and Jon, I knew whoever didn't win, was the one going home. I will say this episode further solidified that Jaclyn, while maybe not a great Survivor player, was far more observant than Jon. She totally saw that blindside coming but he was so sure in his alliance, just like he would have been blindsided weeks ago if Natalie hadn't told him to play his idol. And that was after Keith's verbal blunder, he still didn't get it and see the blindside coming. 

 

Wow, a Final 5 of Missy, Baylor, Natalie, Jaclyn and Keith. Definitely did not see that one coming at the start of the season. Honestly, other than Natalie, and she was only okay, none of these people particularly impressed me with their Survivor game. 

[Straycat80]

This is going to sound mean but I think if you get so badly injured that you can't compete anymore you should have yo leave the game. It's not fair everyone else has to do the challenges and you just get to sit there.

I didn't like Natalie but I have to give the girl props for getting Jon out of the game. Great play! I hope they get Jaclyn out next. I'm ok with Natalie, Baylor and Keith for final three and Keith wins. Of course Missy would have to somehow get voted out, that will be a dilemma.

[LanceM]

I guess Baylor is driving the car now and her Mom's riding in the back.

[BigRedCheese]

Too bad for Jon that Natalie didn't suggest he play his idol this time. Oh, that's right, that was all his idea.

 

I wonder if Jaclyn didn't really push for Jon to play his idol, even though she was clearly suspicious, because she knew if they were flipping, the votes would be split her way too. Watch out Jon, you're not married to her yet.

[susannot]

Natalie for the win next week! 

 

Triple ownage!  If I am not mistaken, she would be only the second woman of color to win, after Vecepia.  And she would not be subject to the criticism of Ms. V for lucking into the win, etc.  If Nat wins, there's no doubt that she controlled or influenced the game from start to finish.

[JudyObscure]

My heart was pounding through the entire episode, I was that afraid Jon would stay and they would never have another chance to blindside him.  Natalie is a Survivor all star.

 

Jaclyn's anger was an added pleasure.

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

Well done Natalie. I wish she wasn't grinning so hard. Show a little grace, would.

 

It looks like she takes the sour winner to another level in previews.  It won't surprise me if Jaclyn is the bad guy for coming to his defense. 

[ElleryAnne]

I don't think it sounds mean, but I figure the other players have the option of voting out the injured person if they resent him/her being unable to participate in challenges, so it doesn't bother me. And since she's one less player who can take the immunity necklace from them, I understand if they keep her around.

She would be, though.  If Natalie is being a sore winner, then Jaclyn, from that preview, is being an even sorer loser.  Then again, so was Jon when Drew got blindsided.  So they're two peas in a pod, pretty much.

[LizBug]

Well, at least Missy can tell Jon that she didn't vote for him. And Natalie finally got her revenge for Jeremy's blindside.

Looks like Jaclyn has a major hissy fit when they get back to camp. Finally, she's talking to everyone.

Would love to see Natalie win. How ironic would that be? One twinnie goes out first and the other is the sole survivor.

The only thing better than taking a goat to FT, is taking a limpy one. I hope Missy stays in the game.

Keith getting his first massage was... um. He was making some very happy noises.

[ShadowSixx]

Awesome job Natalie, plan worked just the way she wanted to. Jon was just too damn arrogant. I clapped and hollered so loud when he was voted off. Glad Keith survived another week as well.

 

I wanted to slap the hell out of Missy for that no, I can't vote for Jon, I'm loyal and all that. I think that Missy is the type that probably puts men above her children and everything else. She just gives me that vibe. Hopefully she's voted off next week. Does she not know how the damn game is played, you gotta get rid of the threats. If she was in final 2 with Jon and she won, she would give Jon the win.

 

Next week have to listen to self entitled bitch princess Jaclyn holler and be upset over Jon being eliminated. She doesn't know how the game is played either and once again gave that entitled attitude because Jon, Keith, & Missy won the reward challenge. This isn't Survivor where the couples win, there's only one winner or did that concept escape Princess Jaclyn's mind. Not looking forward to hearing her bitch next week.

[Straycat80]

I could practically hear Jaclyn grinding her teeth through my TV. Girl was pissed! I hope Natalie gets her voted off next. Missy was not as loyal to her as she was to Jon so I can see everyone left voting Jaclyn out.

[txvoodoo]

Jacyln has no one to blame but herself & Jon. She let him carry her - none of her own initiative. 

 

I'm actually torn now about who I want out next, Jacyln or Missy. I don't think Missy should be allowed to skate, but I'm going to be very happy to see Jaclyn go when she thought she'd be in the final 2.

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

She would be, though.  If Natalie is being a sore winner, then Jaclyn, from that preview, is being an even sorer loser.  Then again, so was Jon when Drew got blindsided.  So they're two peas in a pod, pretty much.

 

I understand. Jaclyn ought accept Natalie talking shit about Jon the night she blindsided him. 

[Jodithgrace]

This is going to sound mean but I think if you get so badly injured that you can't compete anymore you should have yo leave the game. It's not fair everyone else has to do the challenges and you just get to sit there.

 

I was thinking that way too, but actually, if you think about it..she's not hurting anybody but herself. I mean, since the merge, it's an individual game and she is missing out on opportunities to win immunity and now, potentially, reward. I'd rather see this than yet another quitter, even though I wouldn't blame her for quitting under these circumstances. 

 

I have to say Natalie for the win! She finally got all of her ducks in a row and got Jon out. Good for her. BTW, I read that they don't let you take your unplayed idol home as a souvenir, probably because all of that stuff is auctioned off for charity after the season. 

[MyLisa]

 

I think that Missy is the type that probably puts men above her children and everything else. She just gives me that vibe.

 

Baylor said as much an episode or two ago, about how Missy was easily influenced by Jon because he was so similar to the guys her mom has dated/married. 

[dizzyd]

Yes, Natalie deserves the W. They voted out Nadiya 1st because of her strategizing on AR then why did they not think Natalie was a threat.

[Donny Ketchum]

I understand. Jaclyn ought accept Natalie talking shit about Jon the night she blindsided him. 

Meh.  Doesn't bother me.  They both brought it on themselves, and it was a near-impossible feat to pull off, so I'm not gonna come down on Natalie at all for gloating over it.  Plus, Jon clearly annoyed the piss out of everyone who wasn't Jaclyn, so . . . whatever.  I'll let the shit-talking slide for as long as possible.

Question: has there ever been an all-male jury so late in the game? I only started watching at the Denise and Malcolm season. I think Jaclyn or Keith next week.

For Natalie to win, Keith needs to be gone before the final vote. It might be better to get Keith next week, from Natalie's perspective, because of the remaining women, she's the most likely to get the jury's votes.  I was wondering if Keith would be the next Mr. Missy.

Edited December 11, 2014 by Lamb18

[ElleryAnne]

Giving away your reward hasn't really been working out for people this season.  Jon might have remembered that, since wasn't it shortly after Jeremy and Natalie gave their rewards to him and Jaclyn that he voted Jeremy out?

[cooksdelight]

Baylor said as much an episode or two ago, about how Missy was easily influenced by Jon because he was so similar to the guys her mom has dated/married.

And she repeated that again tonight. It must be tough having a mom that you watch make mistakes about men over and over. Baylor even said "Jon's like the son she always wanted..." I felt sad for her with that.

If Natalie or Keith don't win immunity next week, they are still safe with their idols. Those two can coast to the final four now.

[Haleth]

Keith played his idol, didn't he? I think Nat is the only one who still has one.

Edited December 11, 2014 by Haleth

[LanceM]

It is between Natalie and Keith at that point for the win. Baylor is a lock for second.

[MLE]

I know that what we see of TC is such  minuscule amount of what goes on, but I cannot see how Jon could hear wht we did and not play his idol.

 

That all said, GO NATALIE. But I am one of those rare people who liked the twinnies on TAR, soo...

The jury now has six men on it, all voted out in a row -- Josh, Jeremy, Wes, Reed, Alec, and now, Jon.  This beats the record of One World, which, up to now, had the longest streak of male jurors with five -- Jonas, Michael, Jay, Leif, and Troyzan -- before being broken at just the right time by the (still inexplicable) blindside of Kat.  Though of course, the last man standing, Tarzan, was then voted out after her.  Coincidentally, both One World and San Juan del Sur have seen six men voted out (or just exiting the game) in a row -- Colton, Jonas, Michael, Jay, Leif, and Troyzan from One World, and Josh, Jeremy, Wes, Reed, Alec, and Jon from San Juan del Sur.

 

As for Keith winning, I don't get the thoughts that he'll win if he faces the jury.  Josh, Jeremy, Reed, Alec, and probably Jon do NOT respect his game.  Only Wes would vote for him.

[LizBug]

Dizzyd. ... Natalie was on the team that kept winning immunity. They didn't go to tribal council for a long time. That gave Natalie time to build a strong alliance.

[Tarheel Girl]

Natalie was awesome tonight. They need to get Keith and Jaclyn out. They have built in votes on the jury

[ShadowSixx]

Keith played his idol, didn't he? I think Nat is the only one who still has one.

 

Yes Keith already played his idol when Wes was eliminated. Jon's idol is flushed so Natalie is the only one that has an idol.

[Carey]

Keith is a lock to win, that I agree. Not sure about Jaclyn (unless both Keith & Natalie are gone)

[txvoodoo]

I know that what we see of TC is such  minuscule amount of what goes on, but I cannot see how Jon could hear wht we did and not play his idol.

 

Straight up hubris. Exactly what he's displayed all season!

[cooksdelight]

Thanks, guys, I forgot Keith used his already. But the man is a beast when it comes to challenges.

[Gianthambeast]

Triple ownage!  If I am not mistaken, she would be only the second woman of color to win, after Vecepia.  And she would not be subject to the criticism of Ms. V for lucking into the win, etc.  If Nat wins, there's no doubt that she controlled or influenced the game from start to finish.

Don't forget Sandra (one of my faves).  I hope Nat can take it.  I've been rooting for her all season.  So glad that the "golden couple," is broken up.  Have fun sipping your merlot at Ponderosa Jon!

[Donny Ketchum]

Keith is a lock to win, that I agree. Not sure about Jaclyn (unless both Keith & Natalie are gone)

Once again, how?  No one respects his game.  The only thing he can rely on is challenges.  And that only worked for Bob in Gabon because the jury were just bitter babies, and for Fabio in Nicaragua because Chase and Sash were so disliked and had fucked over way too many people.

 

I see almost no one on this jury being all that bitter.
