Survivor One World Episode 9 Spoiler Review


The teams did another Do-It-Yourself-Reward challenge. Another day off for Jeff? The tribe divided up into 2 teams. Leif ended up on a team with most of the girls. That team lost. Tarzan, Alicia, Troyzan, Kat and Jay won a barbecue on a private island.

Kim plotted to keep the women onside and vote all the men off, specifically targeting Jay and Troyzan as the next two. Chelsea was hesitant as she has ties to both of the men. This ticked off Alicia and Kat. Meanwhile, Jay and Troyzan targeted Alicia. Jay told Kat about the plan, and Kat made him believe that she was on board. I see bad things in Jay's future.

Troyzan talked to Jay about the girls trying to pull a fast one on them because they have the numbers. Jay said he really, really, really, really doesn't see that happening. Oh yes, I see very bad things in this boy's future.

The immunity challenge was the classic "hand chained to giant water bucket" game that Survivor has used before, complete with food temptations. Tarzan killed his bucket immediately. Surgeon, everyone. Christina was second out. Sabrina dropped out for 2 cookies and milk. Kim and Kat stepped down for cupcakes. Alicia dropped out for a bowl of candy and chocolate.

After 45 minutes, it was Leif, Jay, Troyzan and Chelsea. Troyzan fell off. Jay stepped down for chicken wings and beer. The last supper, surely. Chelsea talked Leif into stepping down and he bought it like a fool and THEN HE SHARED HIS FOOD! So Chelsea won immunity.

Kim asked the girls to split the votes between Troy and Jay in case Troyzan pulled out an immunity idol. Troyzan didn't trust Kim's repeated assurances that he was safe, and dug up his immunity idol and told Jay he was playing it. Jay confronted Kim about blind siding Troy, saying that Troy was playing the idol and four votes were coming Kim's way to get her out. And now we have legit uncertainty (or, at least, carefully edited uncertainty) going into Tribal Council.

Troyzan played his idol and Kim looked very nervous. But she had nothing to worry about as Jay was sent packing. Yup. Bad things in this boy's future.

Next week: Target: Troyzan

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
