Survivor South Pacific - Episode 13 Spoiler Review

It's the penultimate episode of Survivor South Pacific. It's the final five. Which means this close alliance that has stuck together since Day 1 now has to tear itself apart. Muahahahahahah! Indeed, Coach notes "The real game begins tonight." YOU MEAN I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE REST OF THE SEASON FOR NOTHING!?

The epic duel between Ozzy and Edna was about a slide puzzle and puzzle cubes. Ozzy jumped out to an early lead, but the peanut gallery went to work helping Edna solve the puzzle cubes. But Ozzy won - despite the creative editing of last week's preview. So Edna is done and on the jury and Ozzy lives to battle another day.

Coach and Sophie had a conversation that included the phrase "Ozzy's Pleasure Dome." Yeah.

The top half of the show was very Albert-centric. And as someone who has not mentioned Albert in pretty much any of my recaps, I'm not going to start now.

Russell Hantz's Nephew won immunity, which threw a big wrench is Coach's plan to vote him off. He picked Rick, who has been a total non-entity to join him in eating pizza in front of the others. Sophie decided they should go after Albert instead. Everyone confronted Albert and yelled at him. And then Russell Hantz's Nephew decided that he didn't want to vote out Albert and told Albert that he'd give him the immunity necklace. And then he told Coach this.

Lo and behold at tribal council, Russell Hantz's Nephew just blurted out he was giving his immunity necklace to Albert before Jeff could get out two words. And then Russell Hantz's Nephew told a story about being in a gang. He's a strange dude. And we were reminded that Coach has the hidden immunity idol, which I think everyone else had forgotten. Somehow the conversation turned to whether Albert would give the immunity necklace back to Russell Hantz's Nephew. Albert declined the opportunity to give it back despite Russell Hantz's Nephew now claiming he didn't feel safe.

When the votes were tallied, Russell Hantz's Nephew was dispatched to Redemption Island and we now have a new contender for "dumbest move ever in the game."

SUNDAY: The final duel, with either Ozzy or Russell Hantz's Nephew getting back in the game. And we finally get a winner of this season.

Car camping in our Toyota Rav4

Image
My wife and I booked a tenting trip to Yellowstone National Park last summer. We had never been there before and were really excited to go, but weren't thrilled that we were sleeping in a tent in bear country. We are fundamentally too cheap to buy a camper trailer, and our Toyota Rav4 doesn't have a big enough engine to pull anything larger than a ladybug anyway, so our options were pretty limited. During a discussion of those limited options just weeks ahead of the Yellowstone trip, I Google'd "car camping Rav4" and discovered there's a whole sub-culture out there of people who have retrofitted their Rav4 vehicles to sleep in the back. We started devouring other people's blog posts and videos on the subject and quickly set about to lifehacking our car and our trip to suit our needs. So we did a live beta test in Yellowstone and slept in our vehicle. We loved it. Sleeping in our Rav4 was quiet and dry. We didn't have to worry about wildlife, and

Buff Pack Run Cap review (and bonus thoughts on Run Cap Pro)

Image
Buff Pack Run Cap in red (left), Buff Cap Pro (centre and right) Every once in a while, I remember I have a blog... And I've edited this post at the bottom. I've become a huge fan of the Buff Cap Pro, which is one of Buff's lesser known products (and one that I've never actually seen for retail sale anywhere). I took a flyer on ordering one from Buff's Canadian website last year and loved it so much I bought a second one on sale last month. The Cap Pro is a terrific little hat. It's like wearing a small Buff on your head, but with a little sun visor attached to the front. They can be totally crunched up and packed tight in a pocket, are pretty breathable, and keep the sun from roasting my increasingly balding head. While I wore a Tilley Hat for year and years, the Cap Pro has become my go-to vacation hat. It keeps the sun off my head and the sweat out of my eyes. And I can crumple it up and stick it in my pocket at restaurants and such. (Which is much

Travel blog: A glorious and triumphant return to Las Vegas

Image
Welcome, friends. It's been a while, huh? So, having survived this whole COVID ordeal for 2+ years, we decided to blow three years worth of travel budget in one summer. Which meant we had to return to Las Vegas. We started at a new place at Harrah's called Walk On's , which is a Cajun sports bar. I got the gator wrap, which was quite tasty. Gator basically tastes like chicken, so this was nothing mind blowing in terms of exotic flavours, but I'm not going to a Cajun place and ordering a hamburger - I want something weird enough. My wife got the shrimp Po Boy. We both enjoyed our food. We went back to Walk On's a couple of days later for breakfast, which for me was a pretty good chicken and waffles. It's hard to screw up chicken and waffles, and yet... I also had the most disappointing chicken and waffles I've ever eaten. Which was surprising because it came from Chef Marcus Samuelsson's Streetbird Fried Chicken at Resorts World, the newest big hotel/cas
