Woohoo, I guessed correctly the winner of the next tribal council boot ! That's what Winner Pick means right ? Joe ? That's right isn't it ?

Count me in Joe. Here's my BBB Squad ! Challenge Beast: Caleb I wanted to pick Scot, but I think Caleb will have an edge in the individual challenges. The Strategist: Debbie Call me crazy, but I can see Debbie making it far in the game on strategy. The Black Widow: Jennifer Like Jeremy, she's easily the most likeable in a very alpha tribe full of "meat-shields" The Old Schooler: Joseph. He is totally in it for the experience. He should pair up with Debbie and let her take care of the strategy. He's so laid back already. He's great. Under The Radar: Neal ? Wildcard: Julia. I like her. She's a superfan who has been watching survivor since she was 5, she would be the youngest to ever win which is an interesting story, and she seems like she would be good socially. Probst said she is very smart and he wouldn't lie and trick me, right ? She's in a good tribe that I think will form a tight alliance if they can not lose challenges. BUT, her character type doesn't usually do well on Survivor and she has the look of an early boot. Sounds like a Wildcard to me ! Bench players - Nick and Cydney are also in the squad I guess someone invited them Final 3 Prediction: Jennifer, Jason and Neal Winner Pick: Jennifer Lanzetti

Hi Paul ! At the live shows, I've noticed that the guests write their improv locations and questions into a notebook. Do any of the guests also draw/doodle in the notebook ? Have you ever misplaced or lost the notebook ? Pretty much just looking for any notebook-related anecdotes you might have up your sleeve. Thanks !

Congrats to Joe McGurl for picking Jeremy as the Winner ! Very impressive. Probst is so proud of you right now. Your prize is this million-dollar check. All you have to do is get the money from Richard. Can't be that hard right ?

This is so tough !! But I picked Spencer as the winner so I'm going to stick with this and see this through even though the smart money is on Jeremy to win. But hey, I never said I was smart !! #loophole TC 1 - Spencer wins immunity. Both Jeremy and Kelley play their idols a little early -- this is the only way Spencer can win so this has to happen. All votes are negated. WHAT ! Probst loses his mind this is the best thing he's ever seen. On a revote between Kimmi and Tasha, Kimmi goes home. (She's the one in the blue top) TC 2 - Keith wins challenge immunity ! What a beast. Jeremy is voted out #blindside TC 3 - Spencer or Keith win immunity. Fan favorite Kelley Wentworth is voted out. Final TC - Spencer, Keith and Tasha. Tasha gets no votes. Keith gets one from Kass (to make sure Tasha is 3rd) and Spencer wins !!

I'll say this week Abi goes home. Idols(s) are played, lots of Jeff saying "does not count" during the votes and then Abi gets like one vote from Keith and that one DOES count actually Abi. The Ponderosa Jury members are super-bummed when Abi ruins their peaceful vacation, thus also dooming Keith's game forever.

Last week I picked Kimmi and girl still on the Island, so this week I'll be playing my Second Chances Hidden Prediction Idol and picking Kimmi again.

Jeff is back for more Survivor sacrifices. It's how he stays so young and fit-looking, don't you know. He also looks like he's not in the mood for any of my shit today, so I'll just get right to it. First Ep This one is a no-brainer when Joe doesn't get to take home his immunity necklace. Joe gets the Probst kiss-off. Second Ep I'll say Kimmi. I think Tasha will get immunity and that the witches join forces with Jeremy, Spencer and Fishbach (the wizards?) to take down their former alliance members. Keith is just playing it cool in the background still. Attaboy Keith !! So, in summary, I submit to you my picks to go home this week: Joe and Kimmi.

Just when you least expect it - SHE'S BACK !! This week Abi gets wet in the rain after midnight and then muddy and pissed off and Oh, Hello the Abidook is back baby. This time she pushes the core alliance too far, taking the target off Wentworth/Ciera. See you in Ponderosa, Abi. At least you made the jury !

Me ? No way. I'm no challenge beast, no need to target me. We can all go to final 3 together. I swear on my kids lives I will never write any of your names down. You mind holding my Immunity Idol for me while I chow down on this tasty bagels reward ? Thanks.

Uh oh, here comes Jeff with his torch snuffer. Looks like someone's Second Chance is O-V-E-R. I'm gonna go with Savage this week for the boot. Tasha for the Immunity win.

Here we go ... merge week ! Look who's left, holy shit: Bayon are clearly in the majority with 9 left: Savage, Jeremy, Joe, Keith, Fishbach, Ciera, Kass, Kimmi, Tasha. (Bayon made it to the merge losing just one person - Monica. This means that the jury is likely to be stacked with Bayon-ers). At the 3 tribes swap, they were split up with 1) Tasha and Savage together, 2) Kimmi, Jeremy and Fishbach together, 3) Joe, Keith, Ciera and Kass together. In contrast there are only 4 Ta Keo original members left: Spencer, Abi, Wiglesworth, Wentworth. Doesn't look like these four are in any kind of alliance with each other at this point and they are each really on their own. At the 3 tribes swap, Abi was on a tribe with Tasha and Savage. Not sure she made any friends there though. Her fate may lay with how long Tasha and the others need her vote. Wentworth was on a tribe with Joe, Ciera, Kass and Keith, this looks good for her. Wiglesworth and Spencer both were in Bayon with Jeremy, Fishbach and Kimmi. Not sure either is doing well or in an alliance at this point. Last week we went back to two tribes again briefly. Wentworth got to stay with Bayon a little longer, good for her in the long run, whereas Kass, Ciera and Savage got stuck with 3 Ta Keo (Spencer, Abi and Wiglesworth). But now we're merged so who cares. Let's get to predictions. At the immunity challenge, my money is on a challenge-beast like Keith, Joe or Tasha. It would be interesting if Kelley or Kelly won though. I don't see Spencer or Abi winning this week. So who's going home ? An outsider who's a threat, that's who ! I think Wiglesworth will do just well-enough in the immunity challenge to put a target on her back and get her voted out. So that's my prediction ...... Kelly Wiglesworth.

On the Untimely Death of Woo by the Abidook A Halloween Tale by me, Marshall Mellow When Woo was a small boy, his mother told him that if you write down your fears, you will banish them forever. So in school, when he didn't have any friends he wrote "LONELY" on a slip of paper, and the next day he met a new friend at school and he was lonely no more. Later, when all of Woo's friends started surfing, he was too afraid of sharks to try, so he wrote down "SHARKS" on a slip of paper and the next day he became brave and went into the ocean, all his fears banished and he became one of the best surfers and no shark ever came near him. One day, a freak wave carried Woo away from his friends and he became stranded on an Island, hungry and tired. He encountered a group of other survivors, and together they built a camp and became friends. But one of the group, a girl called Abi, was very scary and Woo thought "she might kill me in my sleep one night". So he wrote her name down on a slip of paper, "ABI". But the next day he was still afraid of Abi and she had grown stronger and even scarier than before. After a few more days, he decided to try again and wrote her name down on another slip of paper. But that night she grew very angry and she told Woo "You are dead to me". After that night Woo was never seen again on the Island, he disappeared without a trace. All that was left behind was a slip of paper with one word written in Woo's shaky hand-writing. The last thing Woo was afraid of. The last word he wrote. That word was "DEATH". RIP Woo

Prediction: Two Players are OUT Heartbreak at camp for a plucky lass, We bid Farewell to Chaos Kass !! But Tribal Council's quite a Smasher The votes are in, Farewell to Tasha !!

"Oh, wow, Hi Jeff ! I didn't expect you to show up at my door, thanks ! You can put the tray down over there. Just take the bacon you say ? No, really, I insist, you should put the tray down. Here, just give it to me. No ? You have to keep the tray ? Really. Hmm. Okay. So, while I got you here Jeff, quick question. Is there a medvac next week or what ?? Who is it ?? Is it Keith ? I hope not. You can't say ? Geez, you're giving me nothing huh. Before you go, thoughts on Fishbach ? Jesus Christ right ! I literally lol'd at his challenge performance yesterday and when you were like "That counts !" and you were loving it. High five ? You can put down the tray, here, I'll hold it ... no ? Okay. Alright, thanks for the prize Jeff. See you next week *wink, wink*. I hate to see you leave but I love to watch you walk away."

Kudos to RanRan for pulling out the big win on Game Night !! Will I miss sleeping with the Doritos JACKED 3D: Bold Prediction of the Week award ? Yes, of course. But you know what ? I done got played by a better player this week and that's alright in my book. Please look after the trophy for me. "I'll be back" for it, baby.

This week in "Wildly Inaccurate Survivor Predictions" Ta Keo win the Immunity Challenge. Angkor pull out a surprise 2nd place win in the Immunity Challenge, sending Bayon to Tribal Council !! Spencer and Wiglesworth are on the chopping block right away -- not being former Bayon tribers -- so they start scrambling for their sweet Survivor lives. Spencer has been in this bottom position so many times now, it's getting ridiculous. Still trying out his new "human-with-emotions" personality, he gamely tries to fit in with the majority 4 going along with whoever they want out, which they tell him is Wiglesworth (but really it's Spencer). However, Monica decides she wants to make a big move and comes to Spencer and Wiglesworth with a plan to get out Jeremy and promises to bring along ... let's say Kimmi. At Tribal Council, Jeremy is almost forced to play his idol but in the end doesn't have to as he has the majority with Fishbach, Wiglesworth and Kimmi voting with him and the next person voted out is ..... Monica !

Congrats to Joe McGurl on getting the boot prediction right this week !! Well done Joe. Here is Probst now with your prize. Thanks Jeff.

Also, to address another of Agata's notes, yes, Jeff heckling the contestants throughout the challenges is pretty standard. Also, watch out for his comments to get pretty cheeky when there's a challenge with balls involved. I personally can't wait to hear comments like "Tasha is eyeing up Joe's balls" or "Kass made a grab for Woo's pair of balls" or "no-one is interested in Keiths low-hanging balls". Oh, Jeff !

Great episode ! Here are my thoughts on the new tribes ! TA KEO Keith is still there. Is he in an alliance ? Who knows. Probably not. Kass is in the background being well-behaved for now. Seems like she's in an alliance with Ciera and Joe. But you know she's just waiting for the right time to cause some Chaos. This might be good for Terry and Wentworth. Wentworth is trying to make sure Terry gets voted out before her. Probably because Terry isn't a strategic player. But maybe Terry could win over Keith and then get Kass to cause trouble and they could all blindside Joe ! #Blindside BAYON This tribe is abit boring. Monica and Kimmi continue to get zero air-time so we should probably not care about them going forward. Wigglesworth is taking strategy tips from that "rat" Varner ? Fishbach will always be the worst at everything. Spencer is getting the golden redemption edit. Jeremy has an idol now - well played Jeremy. Either Spencer or Jeremy will end up running this tribe of losers. Maybe that idol will decide. #IdolPower ANGKOR Abi continues to get all of the air-time this season. Tasha and Savage played great this week. Woo is no longer in an alliance and he's on Abi's radar. Oh boy. Would love to see Woo take her down. Varner is all over the place. It was very dumb of the 4 to vote out Peih-Gee, one of their own. You got to keep your numbers in Survivor before the merge ! Tasha and Savage are there to stay, as they are the smartest ones in this tribe, so if when they lose again next week, they should really get rid of Abi next. #FreeWoo

Who's going home tonight ? Who can say at this point in the game ! However, I'll take a wild guess. Fingers crossed for that sweet "Doritos Jacked 3D: Bold Prediction of the Week" award. I'm thinking that we might see something come of the the Jeremy/Fishbach incident from last week when Fishbach misread the room and accused Jeremy of idol scavenging, when he was actually just off crying for his wife. Please, no crying this week. Do you think Jeff cries when he misses his wife ? No he does not. This week, camp paranoia sets in when word spreads that, hey, maybe Fishbach is right, maybe Jeremy wasn't crying for his wife, but was actually looking for an idol !! So I'm going to predict this weeks boot will be ........ Jeremy

Okay, I'm finally caught up on Survivor. Phew. Great so far. One complaint -- not nearly enough Keith in these 2 episodes !!! Hopefully that will change next week. Varner is pretty great in the meantime. So, classic mistake there by Spencer and Shirin, making themselves an obvious "pair" and therefore a target ! Did Shirin learn nothing from last time when she paired up with Max ? You gotta keep them tight alliance pairs as secret as a hidden immunity idol, everyone knows that. I still have faith in Spencer though. I can't figure Woo out. I want to root for him (woot for him?). Intrigued to see how Joe's story will play out. How hilarious if he just breezes through super popular and winning challenges and finding idols. Not likely though. I'm kind of glad that Abi is back. Does that make me a bad person ? Looking forward to next week !!!

I predict that Terry D. is getting his torch snuffed tonight.
