2011.12.18 South Pacific – Don’t Pee Down My Back And Tell Me It’s Raining

Posted on December 18, 2011 by Marji Carrino

A great finale show.  In the final Redemption Island duel between Brandon and Ozzy the challenge is to stay on a pole, hanging on with 1/4″ footholds – they both are tough but in the end Ozzy wins.  Brandon is sent to the jury but he is okay with it all.

Ozzy rejoins Te Tuna and they head for their first immunity challenge - much to the other’s dismay Ozzy wins and they choose to vote out Rick.  In the second challenge, it is a close race between Ozzy and Sophie but Sophie pulls ahead and wins.  Ozzy tries to win over Coach and hold him to his loyalty but it doesn’t work and Ozzy is sent to the jury.

The final three – Albert, Coach and Sophie.  The jury asks their questions and the votes are tallied.  Sophie wins!!

It has been another amazing season thanks to all of you.  We sincerely appreciate you listening, participating and/or commenting. 

Happy holidays to all of you and your families and friends and may the new year bring you peace, happiness and calm.

See you in 2012 for the next season of Survivor.

2011.12.14 South Pacific – Honor, Loyalty and Integrity OR Excuses, Lame Justifications and Blame

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Marji Carrino

Honor, Loyalty and Integrity – the TeTuna motto is put to the test this week.  It is day 33 and the scheming, shuffling, and justifications begin.

Redemption Island – Duel – Ozzy vs. Edna – The challenge is to complete a slide puzzle to get a hatchet out, then cut a rope which will release bags holding blocks.  Use the blocks to solve a cube puzzle lining up the cubes with no matching colors on each side.  Reverse Rubics stick is our impression.  Ozzy is in the lead getting to the cube puzzle.  Edna is getting direction and help from her whole team and thinks she has it – Jeff comes over but “No” it wasn’t right, Ozzy calls for a check and “Yes”.  Ozzy wins.

Back at camp it is Brandon talking to Albert getting reassurance that it is him, Albert and Coach to final three.  Sophie is realizing the biggest threat in the game is Ozzy as all jury members go through “Ozzy’s Pleasure Dome” before leaving the island.  Sophie then approaches Coach to vote out Brandon.  Coach and Brandon have words with Coach calling Brandon “Russel like” and a “bully”.  Brandon calms him down and they move on (or so we think).

Immunity Challenge – Using a rope, climb a wall collecting 5 bags worth of puzzle pieces.  Once all bags are retrieved open the bags and pair the pieces.  The three remaining pieces are a code, race back up the wall, enter the code and a flag is released.  First to release their flag wins!  Close race between Coach and Brandon but Brandon WINS!  Reward with this challenge is lunch at camp of pizza, garlic bread and soda.  Brandon chooses Rick to share it with him.

Back at camp the shuffling begins again.  Brandon decides to give Albert his immunity with the belief that Coach will hold true to Honor, Loyalty, and Integrity and not write his name down.

Tribal Council – before Jeff can even say hello, Brandon stands and gives his necklace to Albert because they have “that bond”.  When Jeff calls out Albert (and then Rick does too) to say if you have that bond shouldn’t you give back the necklace to Brandon to show him your support?  Albert’s only response “if he needed it I would”.  Well he did.  Brandon is sent to Redemption Island.

Final duel comes at the finale show which is Sunday.  We’ll do a quick show after the finale show and reunion show.

Who do you think is going to win?

2011.12.11 South Pacific – No More Cochran to Kick Around

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Michael Carrino

Marji has been silenced by the loss of Cochran. OK, that’s not why she’s not on the show but it sounded good. Actually we had a rather strange weekend which kept us from doing a show — but don’t worry, it’s not one of those bad things from bad people again. It’s actually good news and we’ll probably fill you in within the next few weeks when everything has settled. Nothing huge for all of you, but it was a biggie for us.

In the mean time, we had a lot of fantastic contributors this week — THANK THEM, not us for this weeks show. We thank them, too.

2011.12.07 South Pacific – Play The Game!

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Marji Carrino

Edna’s feelings are hurt and she lets everyone know that.  As she is crying to Coach, Brandon finds tree mail.  Delivered is a Sprint phone with video messages from the tribe’s loved ones.

Redemption Island – Ozzy vs. Cochran – The challenge is to use a grappling hook and retrieve three bags which hold balls, each then use the ball and move it through a table maze.  Ozzy dominates the challenge in the beginning by retrieving the bags quickly (and effortlessly) while Cochran struggled but made it through with help from the tribe watching them.  However, Cochran makes some quick moves getting through the maze, it is really close, however Ozzy pulls in the win.  Cochran is sent to the Ponderosa.

Jeff brings in the Te Tuna’s family members and each gets a quick hug (and Rick’s wife gets a squeeze or two on the bum) and then Ozzy gets to choose which three will get to spend time whith his/her loved one.  Ozzy chooses Albert, Coach, and Brandon.  They all head off to Redemption Island to enjoy time together.

While sharing time with loved ones Brandon’s dad tells him to “PLAY THE GAME!”, Coach gives Ozzy his word that they are in the final two and Brandon’s dad “encourages” Coach to take him to the final three.  Hope they caught all the good stuff on the Sprint phone.

Immunity – In this challenge each player moves across a puzzle board, as they leave the piece they are on, they flip it over.  Each piece can only be stepped on once.  Last person with spaces wins.  The plan seems to be to block in Edna, which works, and Coach wins immunity.

Edna tries to convince the team that she has played with honor, integrity and loyalty and Brandon hasn’t.

Tribal Council - Edna states that Brandon isn’t being honest and Brandon states it is Edna’s turn to go – who will it be?  Final votes are in and Edna is sent to Redemption Island.

You get to hear what we think, now it is your turn – what do you think?  Call us at 234-525-1549, e-mail us at show @ ArmchairSurvivor.com, and/or comment on the blog or comment line.

Thank you all for listening and participating – what an amazing time we all have.

2011.12.04 South Pacific – A 70 Percent George

Posted on December 4, 2011 by Michael Carrino

As we take bets on how many seconds it takes or Ozzy to send Cochran home we discuss his pros and cons and you know who was pro and you know who other was con. Nuff said. Lots of great conversation from the hosts and — especially — the listeners.

On another note, for a while you were probably not able to get to our web site. Some Russian hacker attempted to bring us down but luckily our host, DreamHost, put up some protection until Mike was able to figure out where the bad guys were coming in and send them packing. Though this was a real pain in the butt to fix, we applaud DreamHost for taking proactive and reasonable action. We want our listeners to be save — even more than we want them to listen to us.
