We have Hermosa tribe being Barb, Dee, Georgia, Jak, Lee, Mike, Nate and Shannon with Mogotón having Avi, Hannah, Izzy, Lou, Sala, Shay, Tom, and Tony.

Our first Tribal council will be tonight with a person from each tribe will be voted out! First challenge being at the beach for supplies. Two minutes to clean off the boat and place the supplies on the tribal mat, whatever they have at the end of two minutes will be theirs to take away. Izzy being sly and taking from Hermosa's mat to take a lot of supplies to the camp and we go to break!

Izzy feels a bit guilty of stealing and gives Hermosa a knife so that they have something to cut with and we are off to Camp. Mogoton sets up camp with Tony taking a leadership role since he was ex army. Sala speaks highly of Tony while Tom and Avi both give confessionals happy that he's taking the eye off them while camp is made. Tom says that he doesn't see Tony as a threat as he sees Tony here for the experience.

Avi talks to Tony who says everyone is in agreement to vote out Hannah but reasons not shown yet. Shay and Hannah have Tom on their hit-list with Izzy joining that alliance with him being a threat. Avi notes down that he says Hannah as a mentally strong and physically strong. Tom feels Izzy as a threat from what Sala says to Shay then we go to commerical.

Georgia talking to Mike about voting Dee out at tribal with Lee speaking about he will have his eye on her. Mike talking to Nate about an alliance with Shannon and Georgia to vote out Dee.

Barb, Shannon and Georgia talking about voting Dee out. Nate is worried about being singled for a vote because he is old. Georgia, Shannon and Mike discuss the alliance. Mike talks to Dee and says that Barb is the weakest person who will be voted out but as proven Nate is lying and we go to break.

Post by: SamualDude on May 07, 2017, 04:59:51 AM
We come back from break over at Mogoton tribe with Shay telling Hannah everyone will be voting Izzy. Izzy is talking with Sala about who to vote for as she is getting suspicious she will be voted for. Sala and Shay forming an alliance.

We head off to Tribal council for who will be the first member of each tribe to go with Mogoton the first tribe to visit it. Matt welcomes everyone at Mogoton to the tribal council and they discuss who will be voting for and how difficult it will be to vote for someone.

Voting is now underway for Mogoton. One vote for Hannah, Second vote for Hannah, Third to Izzy, Fourth to Hannah, Fifth vote to Hannah, Sixth vote for Hannah who is voted out. Matt revealed Hannah had a final plea who asked them to not vote a book by it's cover and Matt giving Mogoton flint.

Hannah doesn't understand why she was chosen to leave as we go to break.

We come back from break for the Hermosa tribal council as Matt greets Hermosa. Matt asks Nate how he feels about Mogoton stealing from them in the first challenge and Georgia if the tribe is too nice with Matt saying he doesn't believe that Georgia loves the tribe. Shannon says she doesn't think to kindly about Mogoton and says she didn't realise it was heroes vs villains from day one.

Voting is under way and we have the results. Mike casts his vote for Dee saying this is a tribe for heroes not villains. First vote Dee, Second vote Dee, Third vote Dee, Forth vote Barb, Fifth vote Dee, Sixth vote Dee. Dee is voted out of Hermosa tribe. Matt says he did not see that coming as he gives Hermosa a flint. Dee is very upset that she was voted out as we go to break.

We return to Hermosa camp for the first night with Shannon confessing she felt sick and it will be like that each time with Hermosa lighting their fire. We head over to Mogoton with them lighting their fire. Tony and Shay confess they didn't want to or expect Hannah to be voted off. Mogoton struggle to light a fire for light.

We go back to Hermosa with Georgia saying she got no sleep. Shannon found a fruit which looks to be rotten and it's slightly rotten. Nate adds some hilarity with eating the fruit from the sack of it.
Over at Mogoton Lou is talking with Izzy who has been sick last night and didn't get any sleep. Some of them feel they voted off the wrong person and it should have been Izzy not Hannah to leave as we go to break.

Post by: SamualDude on May 07, 2017, 05:24:19 AM
Back from break at Hermosa with Mike giving the team a letter for a challenge invite to reinstate what was once deleted? Over at Mogoton they talk about the challenge and voting Izzy out if they lose the challenge.

Matt welcomes the team to the challenge with Hannah and Dee coming back over? Mogoton looking very surprised and embarrassed. This is Redemption Island. Lose the duel and you are gone for good. Survive and you will live another day on Redemption Island with the winner at some stage rejoining the game. We cut to commercial.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 07, 2017, 05:31:10 AM
Today's duel involve unlocking three locks. The first person to step through the locked door will survive. Mogoton are rooting on Hannah as she gets her first key. Hannah gets the second key while Dee makes a long pole to get her first key. Dee is on her second key and it is down to this. Hannah has two of the locks done then gets the third key and gets it undone with her surviving which means that Dee is out in 16th.

Hannah happy to win and happy to hear her team cheering her on. Dee says she is a survivor superfan but as it turns out she is not a survivor. Dee's time is over. Shay says that there is regret for voting Hannah out and she will go back to Redemption Island and Sala says he has proven herself to the tribe. Matt sends the tribes back to Camp as our first episode ends.

Next time new deals are on the table at Mogoton and Hermosa has talks. Immunity is on the line.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand! 16 castaways were separated in two tribes with one person from each tribe to be voted out at Tribal council on the first night. At Mogoton Tony took charge of the camp while Hermosa were divided until a target emerged.

Dee was the first voted out while Hannah felt secure heading into Tribal only to be voted out. Everyone thought they were gone but day two's challenge revealed Redemption Island. Hannah and Dee dueled but in the end Dee was the first eliminated from Survivor: New Zealand while Hannah remains on Redemption Island. 15 remain who will be eliminated this time and sent to Redemption Island?

We open to Hannah on Redemption Island talking about her goals to survive. We head over to Mogoton with Sala saying people are feeling regret for their decision. Shay feeling the most guilt for breaching the girl code. Hindsight is the best teacher. Avi and Tom talk about how a possible alliance was broken and new alliances are being formed. They make a pact not to vote for eachother as we head to the intro.

Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 08, 2017, 04:40:17 AM
We head over to Hermosa with Mike talking about how there doesn't appear to be many trees with fruit on them and so the scavenging game. Mike and Lee talk about voting out Nate if they lose the upcoming challenge for immunity.

Back at Mogoton Tony and Sala talk about Sala being the new leader and a new alliance called the Tight Four who will not vote for the others. The tight four are Tony, Sala, Shay and Lou. Tony notes that things can change as we all know.

Avi realises that he hasn't talked strategy with any of the four. Shay, Lou and Avi talk trust and how if they lose immunity they will vote Tom. Avi says that he is on that alliance with a pinky swear. He believes that he doesn't want to survive day to day.

Meanwhile at Hermosa, Lee and Georgia talk strategy about voting Nate out and working on the camp. While Nate says he doesn't trust her and not sure why but she has to go.

Over at Mogoton, Tony talks about the survival strategy with the shelter. Tom says he is getting a bit sick of Tony's my way or the high way approach as day 3 closes.

Day 4 Shannon has a immunity challenge mail with the losing tribe going to tribal council as we head to break.

Today's immunity challenge will see the tribes needing to one person being a caller with the other 6 being blindfolded to collect 5 items, lift them up to the caller and their flag to win the challenge and avoid tribal council tonight. Both tribes quickly get their first item. Hermosa get the second item with Lee being the caller and Lou being the caller for Mogoton. Hermosa lifted two items up to their caller while Mogoton only have one. Mogoton get their second item up while Hermosa get their third item and get hoisted up with it being a dead heat.

Some spills due to the obstacles as Hermosa get their fourth item as do Mogoton. Hermosa hoist their fourth up with them grabbing their fifth and Mogoton hoist their fourth. Hermosa have all five items hoisted up. Hermosa run for the flag while Mogoton catch up. Hermosa start to hoist the flag with Mogoton catching up. It's close!  Hermosa wins immunity as Mogoton are very disappointed as we head to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 08, 2017, 04:58:56 AM
Back from the break Hermosa are jovial as they talk about who Mogoton will vote off and they think it will be Izzy from what they think.  Mogoton talk about who caused the loss with some of it being pointed at Tony. They discuss that whoever they vote out will face Hannah on Redemption Island.

The Lou, Sala and Tony at Mogoton discuss who to vote for and they believe Izzy should be the one to go not Tom as they need him for now. Sala says he respects Tony and his judgement. They let Tony think about it before they vote. Avi and Shay talk about how they aren't sure how to vote for with Avi suggesting Tony even though Sala won't like that. Shay says that although she is an alliance she needs to play it the way she needs to play.

Lou says that despite everyone looking at Tony or Tom but she believes they need both for now with Sala not thinking who to vote for. Sala goes to let Tony know that he is on the chopping block. Tony says he trusts Sala and he'll be disappointed if Sala does the vote. He feels he's got a target on his back. Avi says Tony as making threats for coming back from Redemption Island if he is voted out as we head to break before Tribal Council.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 08, 2017, 05:07:46 AM
We return for tribal council. Mogoton sombrely walk in. Izzy says that they don't want to be here. Tony says the loss today shows how competitive the tribe is with Lou saying that there was a miscommunication with the pulling which she thinks they cost the time. Tony says he'll take the heat but Sala feels guilty as we begin the voting.

Matt returns with the votes. First vote Tony, Second vote Tony, Third vote Avi, Fourth vote Tony, Fifth vote Tom, Sixth vote Tom, Seventh vote Tony. Tony has been voted out of Mogoton and he will be sent to Redemption Island. Matt comments that they have voted out a man integral to their camp setup as we finish tonight's episode.

Next time on Survivor! Barb and Nate look to test the Gen Y Alliance at Hermosa, A fierce game of Cat and Mouse puts the tribes through their paces and Tony confronts his former tribemates.

Tony comments to end that he'll be back with a vengeance as it is revealed Shay voted for him with Lou voting Avi and Sala voting for Tom.

We'll be back on Sunday and to end the week my question is who is your early pick to win?

Previous on Survivor: New Zealand. A tight five alliance emerged at Hermosa with Nate and Barb on the outside looking on but Hermosa managed to win the first immunity challenge. Alliances at Mogoton were put to the test. At Tribal Council, Tony was voted out of Mogoton to take on Hannah at Redemption Island.

Tony talks with Hannah and he believes he knows who flipped and voted him out. Shay says a prayer on the beach with the tribe saying that Tony's time was up. Tom is relived that he survived but knows he needs to step up his game.

Izzy leads Mogoton in some morning yoga on Day 5.  At Hermosa Georgia leads with a tip about brushing teeth but notices the divide in the group. Barb says she's like a lioness waiting for someone to break free of the alliance as we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 14, 2017, 02:24:20 AM
We return from the break at Hermosa with Georgia and Mike bonding over weaving. Jak notes he doesn't believe he can break up their friendship or get them to turn on eachother but Nate says that he believes Shannon is not fully emerged in that group and wants to bring her away as they talk strategy about breaking up the alliance and possibly bring Jak to their group. Nate believes Shannon is 50/50 and could be winnable.

At Mogoton, Sala says they are all focused and not focusing on the previous tribal council with the cooking underway with the discussion under way about a reward challenge. Back at Hermosa they talk about who they want to sit out of the next challenge due to the number advantage. Nate and Jak discuss who may have gone at Mogoton with Nate guessing Tom or Avi while Nate questions if he can turn Jak as we go to break.

Back from the break at Hermosa with Jak finding a invite for a reward challenge . Mike thinks that they have this challenge in the bag. Over at Mogoton they discuss what the challenge will be as Sala motivates them.

At the Beach Matt greets the tribes to get the challenge under way. Each of the tribe will be tied together with a 10kg sandbag on each tribe member in a cat and mouse game with the reward of a tarpaulin for the roof of the shelter. Hermosa debate about who should sit out with Nate volunteering. Barb takes a fall as Mogoton catch up but three out from Mogoton with the three guys carrying two bags each. Jak out for Hermosa. Hermosa grab Mogoton and win the reward challenge. Avi says that despite the loss they are strong as they head back to Camp we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 14, 2017, 02:52:16 AM
We return from the break at Hermosa camp who are wrapped with their win making 2 for 2 in the challenges as they get to work with their new tarp. Mogoton still have high spirits because it was only a reward challenge according to Shay but Sala feels disappointed in himself and feels he let the team down. Avi feels let down by himself but that they could bounce back. Sala says a good rugby team can have a few losses before finding their rhythm. Sala feels he may be a target now though. Tom feels that Shay is the weakline as he feels her strategy is to look as weak as possible by not doing much.

At Hermosa Nate and Barb talk about Shannon as they want to see if they can swing her. Shannon feels Mike is a big threat because of how many alliances he has and she's playing it 50/50 so she can survive before making a move. Nate believes that Georgia is the ringmaster but they can swing Jak over to them as we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 14, 2017, 03:03:42 AM
We are back from the break at Mogoton for Day 6 as Sala on the beach naked trying to dry out and thought no one was around with the tribe watching. Avi talks about a past experience in Ghana as they cook some snails for protein which tastes like a mussell.

Over at Hermosa Mike talks about the alliance and he feels that Barb and Nate are on the outs with no way in. Shannon feels she's in a dangerous position if any of them talk to eachother she will likely be gone. Mike says keeps your friends close and enemies closer. Nate says he doesn't trust Mike at all as they never talked before then as we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 14, 2017, 03:16:13 AM
Back from the break at Hermosa as Jak talks to a rock to entertain the tribe a bit. Jak wants the tribe to think he's a joke and an idiot. Barb and Nate talk to Jak about the alliance. Barb asks Jak who he'd vote out as Nate believes he has the wheels turning for both Shannon and Jak. Jak talks to Mike about the encounter. Mike says they need to get rid of Nate when it comes to a merge he'll flip.

At Redemption Island, Tony and Hannah talk about the upcoming duel and their second chance. Tony says he has no distractions with how this is because he is focused on him and no one else now. They get a redemption island invite at Mogoton as only two can witness the duel. They choose to send Sala and Lou as they were both close with Tony. Avi reveals that Tony told him that if he returns he'll be back for blood for the person who flipped on him as the other two leave.

Shannon and Georgia head to Redemption Island for Hermosa. Nate is nervous as Georgia has Shannon alone to talk strategy as we head to the break before redemption island.

Back from the break for the duel at Redemption Island between Tony and Hannah. Matt welcomes Tony and Hannah to the arena. Tony says he has mixed feeling about seeing some of his tribe and that NZers don't tolerate backstabbing. Tony makes it clear that if he survives he will be coming for the members of Mogoton who backstabbed him by siding with Hermosa. Sala and Lou say they didn't vote for him and Lou feels Tony is family.

Hannah says she was very shocked when Tony turned up. For the duel they will have to throw cannonballs to break four tiles by taking turns to throw them. The first to break their tiles will survive another day at Redemption island.

The duel begins with Hannah taking the first shot and misses, Tony's first shot misses as well. Hannah misses then Tony gets his first then Hannah gets her first. Tony misses as does Hannah. Tony gets his second as Hannah misses again. Tony smashes his third and needs one. Hannah misses again and Tony misses then Hannah does as well. Tony smashes his fourth tile as he wins the duel. Hannah will leave the competition but Tony will remain on Redemption Island. Hannah is the second person eliminated after 6 days in the competition. Matt says that what they choose to tell their team is up to them as we end this episode.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand! Homesickness and hunger set in as the first individual challenge has castaways on their toes.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand. A hard fought immunity challenge so Mogoton lose immunity. Shay's vote for Lou sent Izzy to Redemption Island. The prospect of the tribes merging is on the horizon but the question is when will that happen?

Tony waits on Redemption Island and welcomes Izzy to it. Neither are happy with Shay as both feel she betrayed them. Tony reckons Shay will be the next one to come to Redemption Island as Mogoton return to camp with only 5 remaining. Tom knows that if they lose another immunity he'll likely be gone as we open for tonight.

At Hermosa, The time is taking it's toll on people. Barb and Nate are divided from the rest of the group as the rest of Hermosa looks to a possible merge and getting rid of one of those two to increase their chances as we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 21, 2017, 02:24:30 AM
Back from the break at Hermosa as Shannon says she deals with each day like it's a challenge day. Jak, Lee, Mike, Georgia and Shannon discuss throwing the next immunity challenge so they can vote Nate out. Barb and Nate talk that they may have lost Shannon but not sure. Nate believes that they will be looking at throwing the next immunity challenge so there is one less mouth to feed while Nate and Barb want to win the next immunity challenge until a merger so they can flip.

Tom and Avi discuss how Hermosa run challenges with Barb, Nate and Jak sitting out as possible deadwood as such which Tom and Avi feel they may be able to get those teams to flip. They also discuss winning the next reward challenge as they feel they have more food than Hermosa. A reward challenge invite says who can catch? Sala wants to prove himself at this challenge because they need a win for pride as we head to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 21, 2017, 02:36:28 AM
We return for a reward challenge  One contestant from each tribe will fire a ball from a slingshot with the other tribe members will try to catch them. First tribe to 5 points wins and the winning tribe gets a lot of fishing gear. Georgia and Shannon sitting out for Hermosa. Sala with the first point for Mogoton, Second point to Mogoton by Shay,  Sala takes the third point for Mogoton, Jak with the first point for Hermosa, Sala with his third catch for Mogoton getting them four points, Lee snatches it and takes the second for Hermosa, Sala gets his fourth catch as Mogoton win their first challenge!

Sala very happy with his performance and that they won. Matt sends the teams back to Camp as we go to break.

Post by: SamualDude on May 21, 2017, 02:47:22 AM
Hermosa are a bit disappointed that they lost a challenge because of the gear and it may take them down a peg. Mike feels Nate blew the challenge on purpose and Nate feels that Sala was too good for him. Georgia notes that Mogoton have less members and have better means of food with the fishing gear so they may be stronger in the long rung because of the food situation.

Mogoton are jovial to have won a challenge and ready to go fishing. Mogoton notice that Shannon didn't look too well at the challenge today as she appears to have lost weight and note they need to win the next immunity challenge to push home their momentum.

Back from the break Lou looks like she cut her foot the other day but she believes it'll be fine with no infection as it heals. In the morning the Mogoton boys head down to the beach to do some fishing as they get enough fish for each of them but Lou may be going a bit downhill as she isn't hungry and resting a lot.

At Hermosa Mike and Georgia find some dragonfruit which they use to mix in with the rice. They discuss the possible lack of food as Jak not overly keen on the dragonfruit.

At Redemption Island, Izzy and Tony discuss stories about pets and Izzy not overly keen on that but puts up with it. Tony says that if Shay is at the next Redemption Island challenge he'll have a few words for her.

Back over at Mogoton they get the invite for Redemption Island and they need 3 people to go who didn't go last time which means Tom, Avi and Shay. Shay isn't happy about this as we go to break.

Post by: SamualDude on May 21, 2017, 03:14:33 AM
We are back for our Redemption Island duel between Tony and Izzy. Avi, Shay and Tom from Mogoton to observe with Barb, Nate and Mike from Hermosa. Tony says that he doesn't have a problem with Avi and Tom but has a problem with Shay because she betrayed him as well as that he feels she is the weak link. Shay doesn't have anything bad to say about those remarks. Izzy says she doesn't have any hard feelings at the moment.

Each person will attached to a long rope with obstacles on the way with three knots to untie. First to finish will live another day on Redemption Island.  Izzy with the lead after the first minute, Izzy is at the second knot with Tony not far behind. Both have got their second knot done but it's not over yet. Both of them are supporting eachother as Izzy works on the third knot but Izzy wins and stays alive which means Tony will be the third person eliminated from Survivor: New Zealand. Tony has compliments for Izzy's ability and wishes everyone the best as he says goodbye. Tony says goodbye but says Shay won't survive with the backstabbing. Matt dismisses the tribes as we go to break.

Back at Hermosa they discuss the Redemption Island and Mike notes he is weary of Shay because of what he heard today but Shannon is happy with Tony going because of a potential merge with Barb and Nate.

Mogoton come back and Lou is not looking good at all. Looking very faint. None of them are comfortable and worried about her. Avi thinks it's the infection in her foot. Lou is shaking violently and going in and out of consciousness as we head to break.

We return from the break at Hermosa, Shannon and Georgia discuss that they are going to run out of food and how challenging it will be to keep their alliance alive before the merge. Shannon doesn't want to be piggybacked to the end as she knows that she needs to get Michael but she can't do that until the merge

Mogoton are looking after Lou as Matt and the doctors arrive to examine her. The doctor confirms she has a bug but doesn't know what has caused this. The doctor says the likely-hood of her being able to continue is 50/50 depending on what is causing this. The doctors take Lou away for treatment. The rest of Mogoton are worried sick because they don't know what will happen next as this episode comes to a close.

Next time a broken Mogoton is left praying for Lou's safe return but a huge twist will see someone sent to Redemption Island.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand. Mogoton finally won a challenge as they won a reward challenge. The Tight Five at Hermosa discuss throwing a challenge. At Redemption Island, Izzy managed to win the duel sent Tony out however Lou was in a bad way and she needed to be taken out for medical treatment.

As we open Mogoton have a prayer circle on the beach near their camp as they are concerned to end Day 10. Day 11 begins at Hermosa begins as Shannon notes that there is a huge divide at Hermosa between the young people and the older people.

Mogoton are still incredibly worried about Lou as Avi describes the mood to be somber. Tom feels that the tribe is weaker quite a lot without Lou and unsure if she'll be able to come back as we go to break.

Back from the break at Hermosa we have tree mail. Barb says that she is fine with being eliminated and that she has better things to do. Barb doesn't want to make Jury as we get the invite for an immunity challenge.

Matt welcomes Hermosa and Mogoton to the Immunity challenge as Hermosa note Lou is not there. Matt reveals that the medic has said Lou will be fine but can not return to the game :(

Matt reveals a big twist as we are redrawing for new tribes! 5 buffs for new Hermosa, 5 buffs for new Mogoton but one black buff will be drawn. That person will go to Redemption Island. The person that goes to Redemption Island will go there. before joining the tribe that votes someone out at the next Tribal Council tonight.

Jak is up first and will be Mogoton, Sala going to Hermosa, Mike to Mogoton, Shay stays at Mogoton, Barb stays at Hermosa, Avi joins Hermosa, Nate stays at Hermosa, Georgia stays at Hermosa, Lee joins Mogoton, Tom at Mogoton which means Shannon will be going to Redemption Island!

Back from the break we get ready for an Immunity challenge. The tribes must cross the beach using barrels, ropes and planks to keep their feet off the road but if anyone falls off and hits the beach the whole tribe must start again. Mogoton have the early lead. Mogoton are over halfway. Mogoton are nearly there and they win immunity!

Hermosa will be going to Tribal Council as Mike says he feels Georgia will be on the chopping block because of the new tribe. Nate is stoked with his new tribe members, Sala feels ok so far with his new tribe and he feels safe so far. Nate knows that Georgia is not happy with her new tribe. Sala and Nate talk Georgia as the first to be voted out of the new Hermosa. Avi is happy to feel secure for now with his new tribe. Barb is very happy now with the new tribe as we go to break.

Back from the break at Mogoton. Lee, Mike and Jak are pleased with their new tribe. Tom is pleased for now but notes that Shay will be on the outs for now because of the new tribal dynamics. Shay feels that with the four boys it is a planet of the apes.

Mike looks to make a new plan with the new Mogoton to get rid of Shay. Tom feels that he is safe for now with the four boys. Shay doesn't feel safe at all and she cut her foot on a rock  as we go to break.

Back at Hermosa, Nate is very happy with the new tribe with the numbers. Barb and Nate are looking forward to voting her out. Georgia knows that she is likely out. Avi says that she is trying every angle to keep safe. Georgia wants to talk to Nate because she knows he is her last line to stay in by saying that she will be better than Barb in a challenge. Nate feels a bit uncomfortable with the situation but he says her point.

Avi says she is very shaken up but a fear that she is making traction with Nate to turn him against her as we go to the break before Tribal.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 22, 2017, 03:35:14 AM
We are back for Hermosa to go to tribal council. Georgia says today has been a rollercoaster. Barb says today has given her new life as she was a dead man walking. Nate looks surprised as Barb says that the original Hermosa were going to throw the challenge which contrasts what Georgia said to Nate earlier. Georgia has a plea for Nate and Barb to vote others so those three can survive along with Shannon. Georgia feels that Sala and Avi are a bigger threat than she is which Avi disagrees with as he says Barb and Nate know how much of a threat the tight five can be especially together after a merge. Talk is over, time to vote.

Matt tallys the votes. First vote for Georgia, second vote Avi, third vote Georgia, Fourth vote is Georgia. She is voted out of the new Hermosa and will go to Redemption Island to face Izzy. The tide has turned as we end for this week.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. Old alliances are called into question and a duel too close to call.

It's not usually on me to give up on Survivor, but I stopped watching it. I mean, the episodes are extremely looooooooong and boring. 1 hour for an episode with just one challenge? Just ONE challenge and a huge amount of talk that can be avoided imo. Bff, I can't.

I know Survivor Australia did the same, but it was more entertaining, I liked way more.

Survivor NZ chose people with so much in common with Survivor Australia. (Sala-Barry, Tom-Nick, Barb-Sue, Lou-Kristie, Hannah-Kat, Georgia-Jenna-Luise... I don't know, it's like a bad copy).

Sorry, I'm not a hater, I tried, and I watched until episode 4, but I can't continue. xD  Have fun you that you like the season!

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand! The generation gap at Hermosa developed. Lou was taken out of the game due to medical issues. At the Immunity challenge a huge switch had new tribes redrawn. The new Mogoton won the Immunity challenge and at Tribal Council Georgia was the one voted out.

We pick things up at Hermosa with Nate and Barb happy about the outcome. Shannon is on Redemption Island and will return to Hermosa in the morning. The four of Nate, Barb, Avi and Sala talk about the future merge and the tight five's future. At Redemption Island, Shannon, Izzy and Georgia talk about the alliance at Hermosa and Shannon's status in the new Hermosa with her being on the chopping block.

Day 13 at Hermosa as Nate discusses having Shannon on the outer at the moment as she returns to Camp. Everyone comments on Shannon's nervousness as the rest of the tribe worry about her talk with Georgia last night. Shannon admits the plan was to vote Nate. Sala notes that he feels Shannon is trying to keep herself in and distance herself from the tight five alliance as we head to break.

Post by: SamualDude on May 28, 2017, 02:25:00 AM
We return from the break at Mogoton with the boys discussing the drain that the game is taking so far. Tom is quite happy with how things feel so far and wants to work out his new tribemates. He is also looking at making a new alliance and notes that Shay is very subdued since the new tribe.

Shay is looking to survive till the merge as she feels if she allys with the new Hermosa it will help her. Tom feels he could slip between alliances if need be to survive

Sala and Nate discuss Shannon and whether to trust her or not in the new tribe and how much they should give her.  Sala says he trusts Nate's leadership on what to do with Shannon as he walks back he finds some tree mail.

Reward challenge invite which says the burden of responsibility. Avi says he wants to show that the new Hermosa is here to play and strong with hopes of a food reward as they don't have much stockpiled.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 28, 2017, 02:35:52 AM
We are back for the reward challenge. Mike is not happy that Georgia has been voted out and will get revenge on those who voted her out. Avi says he wants Shay and Tom to know that their alliance is still on.

Matt asks Shannon what the reception was. Shannon says it was an interesting reception.

For the challenge teams will run out to the water and grab a sandbag then launch it into the net but the twist is that only one person can do the challenge. The reward is gear to make camp more comfortable.

Avi and Lee go at it. Both are in the water and coming back with a sandbag at the same time trying to ride the waves back in. Both struggle to get the first bag in the net but Avi gets the first one. Lee is not having best luck as Avi comes back with his second bag while Lee gets his first one in. Lee gets his second sandbag and brings it back as Avi gets his second sandbag in the net.  Lee quickly gets his bag in the net as we head to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 28, 2017, 02:49:05 AM
Back from the break as we continue the reward challenge with Lee chasing down Avi to the third sandbag. Avi is back with his third bag and his first attempt he gets it! Hermosa wins the reward challenge! Lee does not look happy as Matt congratulates Hermosa. They also win some chocolate bars. Tom says he is happy to see Avi win this challenge today. Avi feels he said it to save face for his new tribe as Matt dismisses the tribes to go back to camp.

At Hermosa everyone is happy with Avi's good work. Avi notes that the new Hermosa has bonded together very quickly as they set up the hammock. Unfortunately the chocolate melted on the way back to camp! Oh well! Avi comments that it was good to hear Tom was happy for him. Sala feels that Tom may betray them but wants to believe him.

Over at Mogoton the boys are proud of Lee for giving it his best. Lee is disappointed in him while Mike and Jak comment on Georgia not showing up. Mike is not happy with any of the four of Hermosa who voted Georgia out as we head to break with him saying they are on his hitlist.

Back from the break for Day 14 at Mogoton. Shay is happy she got married before coming to Survivor otherwise with her new tribe she would of been put off men entirely. She notes that Tom may have swapped and is very sure if they lose the next immunity she will be gone.

Over at Hermosa. The discussion is about the alliances and how the merge will go as we head to break.

We return from the break at Hermosa with Nate and Shannon having a conversation. Shannon notes that she can't lie to him because he will see through it. Nate admits that what Georgia said about Shannon being the next to go is a lie as they haven't discussed it. Shannon says she will not go back to Mike's group and could be a spy for them as well come the merge. Shannon says she feels a lot better after that conversation as we get tree mail. Redemption duel is up next with all of both tribes watching. Nate wants Georgia to lose for her to go. They discuss Shannon rooting for both Georgia and Izzy as it will allow her to trick Mike's group.

Izzy and Georgia talk about their upcoming duel. Izzy feels it's easier because it's in her hands rather than a back stab move causing it as we head to the break.

Back from the break for the duel. Sala notes that Shay does not look good as they walk into the duel and worried about Tom going to the boys. Matt asks Georgia if she thought she'd be in this position a week ago which she says of course not. Nate has no thoughts on what she said.

The duel is a balancing act with them stacking plates and dishes on the end of a pole. First to drop their plates is out.  They add on a bowl then another large plate is added. Georgia's looks less stable than Izzys. Georgias wobbling a lot. They add more on as both fall but we don't see who went first as we head to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 28, 2017, 03:30:40 AM
Back from the break as we replay the falls as Izzy's fall first which means Georgia will stay alive in this. Barb and Nate disappointed that Georgia survives. Izzy is unfortunately out of this game. Avi is super proud of Izzy's ability during this challenge. After 14 days she is the fifth person eliminated from Survivor: New Zealand. Izzy gives everyone a hug as she says her goodbyes to everyone.

Back at Mogoton, The four boys are happy Georgia survived and believe if she survives the next challenge she'll be back in the game. They talk about Avi as Tom looks concerned but reveals he's going with the boys rather than the original Mogoton members and they need to target Shay. Mike and Lee discuss throwing the next two challenges to get rid of Shay and Tom as we finish for tonight.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. Shannon makes moves to get Sala on her side and Mogoton look to throw the challenge.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand! A tribal shakeup gave Tom a new lease on life and put Shay on the out. The switch put Barb and Nate into a new position and Georgia was voted out. The redemption island duel saw Georgia defeat Izzy to send her out of the game.

We start on Redemption Island with Georgia not having a good night as the fire went out over night as she longs to return to the game. We head over to Hermosa and Shannon is hoping that she can survive another day. Shannon believes Sala is the one person she needs to get on her side. Sala believes Shannon and wants to trust her.

At Mogoton the thunderstorm is rolling in and the boys are not impressed with Shay as she spends her time sleeping or on the beach. The plan for Mogoton is to throw the challenge so they can vote Shay out.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on May 29, 2017, 04:34:35 AM
Avi says he is feeling close with Shannon as they have a lot in common and really hopes she is ready to join them. Avi notes that he worries Tom will change his alliances as they look to the next immunity challenge.

Over at Mogoton, Tom says he feels he trust Jak the most out of everyone as they bond quickly as night closes on Day 15. Day 16 as Shay finds tree mail. Immunity challenge invite with a puzzle in the hint. Shay knows that she will be going to Redemption Island if they lose which Mike confirms that the plan is to throw in his confessional.

At Hermosa, Shannon has low hopes for Barb as she feels unsafe in her tribe as we make our way over for the challenge.

Matt welcomes the tribes to the game. Teams will scoop water out of the ocean into a bucket, pass it to their team mate who will fill it in a barrell which will lower the key to the puzzle pieces which form a phrase. Once the phrase is complete the tribe wins immunity. Hermosa ahead early as Mogoton throw it early. Hermosa grab their key early. Shannon grabs the key as Mogoton have very little water.

Shannon and Barb struggling with the phrase while Mike and Jak discuss faking looking for the key. The lead from Barb and Shannon is gone as Avi notes it doesn't look like Mike and Jak are not trying. Avi and Sala discuss Mogoton trying to throw it which is becoming more obvious to them as Barb and Shannon win the challenge for Hermosa. Shannon is so happy she survives another round. Matt congratulates Hermosa on their win as he sends the tribes back to camp.

At Hermosa Nate and Sala discuss Mogoton throwing the challenge and decide they won't tell that to Shannon because they don't want to detract her from her good work today. Sala feels sorry for Shay because he knows she'll be on the chopping block.

Mike says Shay would be so angry if she knew they threw the challenge and will keep that from her for the rest of the game as they feel if she knew it would throw her entirely to the other side in case of a merge.

Shay tries to convince the others to try to turn against Mike.  Tom says he'll vote for Shay to keep it from being unanimous against her so he can float for the merge as we head to tribal council.

Matt welcomes Mogoton to tribal council as they talk about new alliances, how the game is played now and the future merge as they go to make their votes. Matt begins to tally the votes

First vote Mike,  Second vote Mike, Third vote Shay, Fourth vote Shay, Fifth vote is Shay and she will be going to Redemption Island.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. Everyone is invited to the Redemption Island duel which see speculation of the merge as the duel looks to be tense to possibly decide the merge

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand. A balancing act immunity challenge saw Mike win immunity. Swinging vote from Shannon took Lee out and onto Redemption Island but there was a twist in the game. The next immunity challenge right now.

For tonight's challenge there will be a quickfire quiz. Survivors answer a question wrong they are out. Last person standing wins immunity as we go to the next vote straight away. Everyone gets the first question right. Tom falls at the second question. Mike and Nate fall at the third question, Shannon, Shay and Barb out at the fourth. Jak wins immunity as we go into the next vote.

Before the vote gets underway Mike questions Shannon and Avi's strategy as we do the votes. Matt tallys the votes up. First vote Shay, Second vote Shay, Third vote Shay, Fourth vote Mike,  Fifth vote Mike, Sixth vote Mike, Seventh vote Mike, Eighth vote Mike. Mike heads to Redemption Island as Mike leaves he says to vote Shannon out next.

Post by: SamualDude on June 11, 2017, 04:10:05 AM
Lee is already on Redemption Island as Mike arrives. Both are in shock as they discuss Shannon flipping.

Back at camp, Shannon says she knew she would be the one to flip and that her decision made sense to get rid of two strong players while the rest of the camp discuss what happened. Sala says that he fully trusts Shannon while Tom realises he is screwed as does Jak while Barb says she will try to save Tom as we go to the morning of Day 21.

Tom still wants to get Shay out but says that her and Sala have the power. The plan is to get Tom and Jak to Redemption Island so that they can get the boys out first. Nate and Shay discuss trying to take Shannon out but they mantain Tom is the bigger threat.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on June 11, 2017, 04:31:04 AM
Jak is not happy and wants to go. Barb and Jak talk about what is to come and Barb notes he is subdued. Barb has a plan that depends on the next immunity challenge and making some moves with possibly Tom and Jak.

Tom finds some tree mail as we have a reward challenge immunity. How well do you think you know eachother? Shannon wants food for Reward. Today's challenge is  that they will be asked questions about their tribemates and the challenge is to figure out where the tribe answered. The person who gets a question gets to chop at a person's rope with their named tiles on it. 3 chops to your rope and you are out. Last person standing wins reward which is.... a Pizza Hut pizza (who are the sponsers for this season)! 5 pizza for 4 people. W

First question who does not deserve to still be here? The tribe consensus is Barb. Avi, Sala and Tom get the first question. Avi chops Nate, Tom chops Shay and Sala chops Tom.

Second question. Who would you trust with your life? Avi is the answer. Nate chops Tom, Jak chops Shay, Tom chops Shay and she is out, Sala chops Tom and he is out.

Third question who most needs a wakeup call in life, Jak is the answer and he picks himself. Nate chops Jak, Jak chops Nate, Shannon chops Jak, Sala chops Jak and he is gone.

Fourth question who does the least for their tribe. Jak is the answer again. Shannon chops Sala, Sala chops Shannon, Avi chops Shannon and she is out, Barb chops Sala, Nate chops Sala and he is out.

Fifth question who would you most like to be stranded on an island? Avi is the answer and Barb chops Avi.

Sixth question, Who do you hope to never see after the game, Avi picks himself, Barb picks Jak and Nate picks Tom. Jak is the answer and Barb eliminates Avi from the challenge.

Seventh question, Who would never survive on their own? Barb is the answer as both of the remaining survivors have one chop left.

Eigth question, Who is more likely to stab you in the back. Tribe says Shay as Barb wins the reward challenge. Barb picks Nate, Jak and Sala to eat Pizza with her.

Back at camp Shay is not surprised she was picked for that but says she'd stab you from the front as well as the Pizza arrives. Barb says she picked Sala to keep him on her side but that she has him in her sights.

Day 22 Shannon chops a coconut as she is proud to gain a skill. Sala says he fully trusts Shannon and checks up on her.

Over at Redemption Island, Mike asks Lee if he is nervous for the duel but Lee is more nervous about seeing Shannon. Mike hopes the duel is pretty physical and not to do with balance.

Back at Camp Barb and Shannon discuss taking Sala out because he is a big threat. Barb says that Nate is onboard but he may not actually be. Jak is surprised that Barb says she got Nate to agree. Barb making some big moves.

Shannon speaks with Nate and how big the possible move is of getting Sala out because if Sala or Avi make final three either of them will win.

Tree Mail arrives. Redemption Island duel invite and two members are invited. Jak volunteers to go as does Tom but Sala suggests to draw cards which sends Nate instead of Tom.

Matt welcomes Mike and Lee for their Redemption Island duel. Either of the two boys will be the first member of the Jury to determine the sole survivor. Mike says that he had a speech prepared if Shannon was there.

For today's duel. They will race across a balance beam collecting bags of puzzle pieces fall off and back to the beginning and once they make it across they will assemble a puzzle. First to do so wins the duel. Mike quickly grabs two while Lee only has one.  Lee doesn't have the balance and Mike gets his third to the bench as he begins to assemble the puzzle as Lee quickly catches up. It has to be level as Mike is slightly in front as he then takes it. Mike wins the duel while Lee is eliminated.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. Things get weird, Barb makes her bold play but can she succeed?

Tonight's episode begins at Camp for Day 23. Avi feels he has a hit slump and is feeling claustrophobic. Sala tells Shannon that he plans on winning immunity. He says he wants to play this game with honour and would love to win the money for his kids.

Tom and Nate talk about Shay being a big threat and needing to get rid of her as they can't trust her with Avi being a threat as well.

Fishing time on the beach as Avi, Shay and Shannon can't catch anything and Avi notes he is getting frustrated with himself as he has no energy. Jak says he has a miracle idea to catch fish as he asks Sala about making a loin cloth.

Shannon goes to talk to Avi because she wants his opinion on taking out Sala or Tom. Shannon feels her way of playing the game is very risky meanwhile Jak comes back with only the loin cloth on and it is a sight... Avi notes that Jak could be a target because of what may happen if Mike makes it back into the game as we go to break.

Back from the break at the Immunity Challenge. Matt welcomes the survivors to today's challenge. First they will dig on the beach for clubs and then smash one of 6 pots. 6 move onto round 2. Round 2 they will need to take a mouth of a water from a troth then crawl under it and empty the water into a bucket with a line that they must reach. First 3 go onto the final round where they must solve a puzzle. First to solve the puzzle wins immunity.

Avi, Sala, Nate, Jak, Shannon and Tom move onto the next round quickly. Tom and Avi take their first gulp. Jak is struggling as Shannon is in a third place. Sala is trying hard to survive. Tom, Avi and Shannon in the lead. Tom moves onto the third round as is Avi. Sala vs Shannon for the final spot. Shannon moves onto the final round. A difficult puzzle has the survivors stumped but in the end Tom wins immunity.

Barb says Tom winning doesn't change any of her plans as they are going for Sala.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on June 12, 2017, 03:22:46 AM
Back at Camp Tom believes Sala will be going home and he is very safe at the moment. Barb and Nate discuss how ruthless Shannon is and she will be going forward. Nate isn't happy about the plan to vote Sala out as they get along well.

Shay, Sala and Avi discuss taking out Jak tonight then Shannon at a later date or Tom. Sala says he doesn't know of any other alliances than Jak and Tom. He feels he is safe tonight..

Shannon and Barb discuss what to tell the others because Jak has been talking and to say that he has been trying to take them to his alliance. Shannon is worried about Nate going with the plan and that he may flip. Tom, Jak and Nate discuss the plan and how this could be a second life for Tom and Jak.

Nate isn't happy with the role that he may have to play for tonight in voting Sala out as he talks with Sala and Avi. Nate would like to save Sala but doesn't think he can as we head to Tribal.

We arrive at Tribal Council as Matt greets the Survivors and he brings in the first member of the Jury, Lee. The survivors discuss how the game is going now that it is an individual game. Matt asks Jak how he is doing after the reward challenge the other day with some of the answers. It is time to vote as Tom has immunity and will keep it for himself.

Matt tallys the votes. First vote Shannon, Second vote Sala, Third vote Jak, Fourth vote Jak, Fifth vote Jak, Sixth vote, Sala, Seventh vote Sala, Eighth vote Sala. Sala is the third voted out of Casar.
A big blindside happened tonight as we end tonight's episode.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. The biggest blindside of the competion causes one big meltdown, Shannon faces the consequences of her actions and a new leader emerges

The vote was Jak, Tom, Barb and Shannon voting for Sala, Nate voted for Shannon and Avi, Sala and Shay voted for Jak.
In the preview Mike looks incredibly shocked to see Sala and Avi is not at all happy about the blindside to say the least.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand. Barbara began some deconstruction of the tribe as she targeted Sala and he was voted off in the biggest blindslide of the competion. Who will survive the duel and be sent to Redemption Island tonight?

We kick things off at Redemption Island with Mike in shock that Sala is joining him. Sala feels pretty blindsided and he isn't sure who voted him off. Mike agrees that he was the biggest threat socially.

At the camp. Avi is pissed off and confused about what happened so the mood is tense to say the least.

Day 26 begins with Avi says he genuinely dislikes a lot of the people at the tribe now after that move last night. Avi doesn't want a final three of Barb, Nate and Shannon. Avi feels isolated now because of it. Jak and Tom realise that they are not the ones to be calling the shots as Barb is at the moment in a move they didn't see coming.

Shannon is now concerned about Barb as she started out and how in control she is now. Barb says her plan is to go as far as she can before someone makes a power play as we go to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on June 18, 2017, 04:04:47 AM
Back from the break. Shay says she is drained and doesn't trust anyone in camp and feels she is playing for Sala. Shannon can tell that Avi despises her.

We get tree mail for a Redemption Island duel for everyone to be at the duel. Shannon not excited because she knows Mike has something to say to her. Sala and Mike discuss their upcoming duel and that Sala wants honest answers before the duel starts.

Matt welcomes everyone to the Duel arena. Matt asks Sala how he is doing as a storm brews in the background. Sala doesn't have any hard feelings. He asks Avi and Shay if they knew about his name being put down which they answer no to.

Mike gives his message to Shannon being that he has no respect for Shannon at all and that she is a fake person. Shannon says she didn't intend to mislead him but he doesn't believe that.

We have a memory challenge today like the matching challenge you probably used to do as a kid. First to 5 matches wins. Mike goes first and does not get a match, Sala  gets nothing in the first round but in the second Mike quickly gets a point. Sala gets nothing in his second go. Mike's third round has nothing but Sala gets a point. Round 4 Mike gets a point while Sala gets nothing, 2-1 to Mike. Round 5 Mike gets another, Sala gets nothing, Round 6 Mike gets another and Sala gets nothing. Round 7 Mike gets the point and survives the duel which means Sala will be the second jury member :(. Mike is the first person to win 2 duels so far.

Back at camp everyone discusses the challenge but Shannon gets teared up and feels guilty for being the villain..
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on June 18, 2017, 04:23:12 AM
Shannon is feeling it now and that no one trusts her. She feels that she can't change the perception of her now. Shannon feels she wishes she could of gone out early and craves everyone back home because she isn't that kind of person.

Jak and Barb talk about how Shay is talking to Shannon all day. Shay would like to have Shannon join her and Avi's alliance to vote out Tom.

Avi and Nate talk about what happened last night and Avi is going to try to survive anyway he can. Avi feels he'll be next to go but Nate says that the plan is either Tom or Jak because if Mike comes back then they go straight to him. Nate says he will not vote Avi out but Jak comes back with tree mail. Not a reward challenge but a immunity challenge. Everyone comments on how brutal today has been.

We have an evening immunity challenge where Matt will give the survivors a history lesson about Nicaragua. They will then run to 5 stations, each with a question and 3 answers when you think you have it right they will take a bag and race back, if the answer is correct it will be a gold medallion otherwise brown they will toss it in the fire and race back. First person to get 5 correct wins immunity.

Matt gives the history lesson and sends the survivors on their way. Avi and Tom first with one point. Barb and Shannon get one as well. Tom, Jak with 2. Tom got his third with Avi getting 2 now. Barb got 3 now so does Avi. Tom has 4 now. Tom has five and wins immunity!

Post by: SamualDude on June 18, 2017, 04:32:59 AM
Back at camp they discuss the challenge. Shannon would like to vote with Shay but believes that Nate and Barb hold the all power.

In the morning the dynamics are doing good this morning. Barb wants a break from people. Nate says that the plan is Jak not Avi but keep Jak in the dark because they want to wear Mike down out of allies. Jak says he'll wear his loin cloth to tribal tonight.

Tom and Jak think it's going to be Avi tonight as Tom feels bad and notes that he feels Avi has accepted his fate. Nate says he has warmed up to Jak but feels bad for him. Nate wants to tell Jak as they get to tribal but the rest of them don't want to because they feel it will jeopardise it.

Avi still isn't sure if he will survive tonight or not. Jak has his loin cloth on as we head to tribal.

We arrive at Tribal Council with Matt shocked at the wardrobe choice from Jak but he brings in the jury of Lee and Sala.

Matt asks Avi how he is doing after the shock of Sala being voted out and losing his duel.

We get the voting under way and Matt begins to read the votes. First vote Jak, Second vote Jak, Third vote Jak, Fourth vote Jak. Jak looks shocked but ever the joker he looks back with his butt in the loin cloth.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. A truce between bitter rivals shifts the balance of power and the next tribal will see 6 become 5.

Previously on Survivor: New Zealand. The biggest blindside in the game happened with Sala being voted out. Mike and Sala had a duel where Mike survived as Sala was eliminated. Jak was voted out at Tribal Council. Who will take control and who be the next voted out?

Jak heads to Redemption Island and greets Mike. Back at Camp Tom feels alone at Casar with Jak being voted out last night and no one to trust.

Day 27 is under way. Avi and Shay discuss the threat of Barb holding a lot of power. Shannon and Nate discuss how they could get rid of Barb. Shannon would like to get Barb out before she targets her.

We head over for another immunity challenge! Today's immunity challenge. They will climb a structure and retrieve 5 sandbags then empty the bag at a podium before throwing them at 5 targets. First to get 5 sandbags in their targets wins immunity.

Everyone quickly gets their bags and start throwing. Tom, Nate and Shay get one scored quickly. Tom gets two and shannon has one. Tom in the lead again, Shannon and Tom at 3 with Shay and Avi at 2. Tom gets his fourth then gets his fifth winning immunity for the third time in a row!

Post by: SamualDude on June 19, 2017, 03:59:56 AM
Back at camp they discuss who will be voted off next. Shay feels she may be next but would like Barb to go next.

Shay and Shannon discuss whether Avi will be on their side or not. Barb would like Shay to go next as she sees her as a threat while Tom would like Shannon to be voted out next.

Tom and Avi want Shannon, Barb and Nate want Shay out while Shay and Shannon want Barb out so it will be a draw with each trying to convince the others.

Shay and Tom discuss a truce but it gives Tom ammo to use against her as she doesn't want to be with Avi in the final three.

We head to tribal council with the jury and tally the votes. First vote Barb, Second vote Barb, Third vote Shannon, Fourth vote Shannon, Fifth vote Shannon, Sixth vote is Shannon. She is the fifth voted out of Casar and will head to Redemption Island.

Next time on Survivor: New Zealand. The new alliance between Tom and Shay takes a twist and will the first Redemption Island battle see the strongest player heading home?

Sorry for the lack of updates!

Shay was voted out the episode after Shannon and lost the Redemption Island battle.

Nate was the next voted out when Barb won immunity but he survived the Redemption Island battle as Jak was eliminated which meant Mike and Nate rejoined the game as final 5.

Tom won immunity next as Mike was voted out and became the sixth member of the jury.

Avi won the last immunity challenge and Nate was voted out becoming the last member of the jury with Barb, Tom and Avi as our final three for the finale tonight.

Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on July 05, 2017, 03:00:09 AM
We open back at Casar for Day 38 where the three survivors celebrate together. Barb says Nate was adamant for her to make it to the end. Avi doesn't feel Nate will vote for her but he is fine with that. They feel the final jury will be interesting. Tom feels that it'll be between him and Avi for the win. They settle in for the final night at Camp.

Avi up first for Day 39 at Casar. Avi is proud of the game he has played over the last 6 weeks. Out on the beach a Breakfast feast awaits for the final three. Barb is trying not to think about her family because she gets emotional about them. She hopes her kids are proud of her for getting so far in the game. She came to challenge herself and for herself.

Tom is worried he may lose some votes because of the idea that Avi carried him over the line.  The final three farewell camp as we head to the break.

Back from the break as we arrive for the final Tribal council. Matt brings in the members of the jury. We have the opening statements from the survivors then the jury will make statements and ask questions to make an informed vote before the vote.

Tom says he has been excited about the idea of Survivor since he was a kid. As a teacher he is a role model for kids and wants to show that in his game.

Avi says he wanted to give everything to this game, keep his integrity intact and keep his honesty. He feels he fulfilled his goals for the game and trusts the jury.

Barb says she has achieved her greatest challenge in Survivor by making it this far. She felt like a dead man walking for 12 days but the tribe swap was her lifeline. She feels she is there because she was overlooked. She feels she will be an inspiration to people.

Shay asks Barb if she feels she has been a kind person, Barb feels she hasn't treated anyone disrespectfully and feels she has been kind. She asks Avi what do you think the youth of New Zealand can learn from how he played? He feels that being respectful and kind can go far. She asks Tom if he has anything to say to her. Tom has nothing against her as a person but feels her gameplay was quite intense.

Jak says that he thought Avi was a fake but says that Avi is as real as can be. He says Tom is a great friend while he respects Barb for getting so far but feels she might of been entitled and condensing.

Mike says that he agrees with everything Jak said about Barb but he feels that Tom wants to win more than Avi however would like Avi to convince him as we head to break.
Title: Re: Survivor NZ: Nicaragua SHOW Discussions (ongoing)
Post by: SamualDude on July 05, 2017, 03:29:10 AM
Back from the break Avi responds by saying that he kept fighting and doesn't know if he wanted anything more.

Mike asks Tom if he has similar qualites as Avi as he wants a winner New Zealand can look up to. He wants everyone to be the best they can be which is what he tries to help people with everyday.

Nate wants to know when the plan changed with Avi as regards to final three. Avi isn't sure that Nate felt the same.

Shannon doesn't have a question for Barb because there is nothing at this point that she can say to change her mind. She asks Avi if just being the nice guy is enough to win. Avi says he worked really hard and played each aspect of the game. Shannon asks Tom if he thinks he would still be there without Avi. Tom says it was a two way streak.

Sala says that Tom's friends and family will be proud of him. Sala is happy for Avi to make it to the final three and that Barb isn't really respectful and didn't help in camp life.

Lee feels that luck got each of them there and wants to know if they had no good luck if they would still be sitting there. Tom and Avi answer yes but Barb says no.

Matt says it is now time to vote. The only votes shown are Sala for Avi while Jak votes for Tom. Matt thanks everyone for a great season of Survivor and that we will tally the votes in New Zealand on Day 40 as we head to break.

The crowd is excited! First vote Avi, Second vote Tom, Third vote Avi, Fourth Vote Avi, Fifth vote and the winner is Avi! Avi is New Zealand's first sole survivor!!

Matt asks Avi how he is feeling right now and he says this is a dream come through. Avi goes into the crowd to see his friends and family with tears in his eyes.

Back from the break we look back at the introduction to our Final three from the first episode as well as how they progressed throughout the game.

Matt says the hardest gameplay aspect for New Zealand to take on was strategy which leads us to Barb and look back at her game. Barb says that the final tribal council was very edited and more brutal than what we saw.

Matt asks if Avi and Tom are comfortable with the beating she took, Avi wasn't but wishes he could of at the time. Tom says that the unfair comments weren't shown which was good.

Tom mentions some of the comments and Sala does regret some of his comments as does Shannon.

After the break we'll talk about Tom's game.

Back from the back we look at Tom's road to the final three.

Matt asks if he felt he choked at the final tribal with pleading his case.

Tom believes he kind of did. Matt asks who voted for Tom and Jak was the only one. Matt says it's a man crush but Jak says it was a full blown man crush. Mike says that Avi played it better but they played into a ongoing joke that Mike didn't know how Avi's name was spelt, He spelt it as Rv haha.

Matt asks if anyone would of changed their vote after watching the show. Nate said he would of voted for Tom after watching his journey.

We have a look at Mike's success at Redemption Island

Mike says that he only really had his tight five at first. Georgia doesn't think that the tight five were arrogant. They discuss the relationship between Mike and Georgia with jokes thrown around and Mike choosing the wrong words haha.

Back from the break we'll talk with Avi.

Avi said his game after Sala left and he got more involved with everyone. Avi says he is glad Tom made it to the end because he said from day one Tom was the biggest threat and he wanted to beat the biggest threat.

Tony and Shay say that Avi deserved the win.
