They should just name an Idol after Ben… as he keeps finding ways to scrounge up Hidden Immunity Idols.

After the last Tribal Council that saw Ashley go home, we find Ben searching for an Idol in the middle of the night while everyone else slept.  And what happened… Ben found a 3rd Idol in a row.  Not sure what the others were thinking leaving him alone…and they would pay.

At the Immunity/Reward, Chrissy once again found the winning ways in a puzzle challenge and won her 3rd Individual Immunity in a ROW.  It was also a reward, where Chrissy chose Mike and Devan to join her for a feast.  The three of them came up with some stupid plan to show Ben a fake immunity idol, which gave him no reason to “fake” search for the Idol that was in his pocket.

At Tribal, Devan got a bit scared and wrote down Mike’s name, while Ben used his Idol to save himself and wrote down Devan’s name.  We had a tie that ended with Mike going home.

4 remained going in to the final immunity challenge.  In what seemed to be Ben’s challenge the whole time, Chrissy ended up winning her 4th Immunity in a row and gained an advantage that allowed her to pick one person to go to the final 3, while the other two would have a fire building challenge to see who gets the final spot.  Wisely, Chrissy chose Ryan for the final 3 and let Ben and Devan dual it out.  Unfortunately, Devan was no match for Ben and lost easily.

Final tribal came and went pretty tamely, but it was clear that Ryan wasn’t going to win.  In the end, exactly what everyone expected, happened.  BEN WON!  Votes went Ben, Ryan, Chrissy, Chrissy, Ben, Ben, Ben

What does that mean for our pool!  Well, it means that Chrissy gained massive amounts of points with 2 Immunity Wins and A Second Place Finish. Ben found another idol, saved himself with it, and then won “the whole fucking thing”.  After all that…. our

BINGE MEDIA 2017 SURVIVOR POOL WINNER IS………..  LIZ!!!

On the heals of Chrissy, she eeked out a close game with many of the competitors!

Great season… Look for another Survivor Pool for Season 36 coming this spring!

Well, once again, everyone not voting out Ben when they could continues to bite them in the ass…

The reward challenge saw tandems looking to spend a day/night in a luxury resort.  Chrissy/Devan managed to beat Ben/Ashley and Mike/Ryan.  After their win, they got to choose 1 additional player to join them, which ended up going to Ryan (Chrissy’s ally) and leaving Ashley (Devan’s supposed ally) having to go back to camp with Ben and Mike.  Ashley should have taken the hint at this point…more on that in a minute

Back at camp, Ben continued to look for an idol, while Dr. Mike straight up told Ben he was on the bottom.  Ashley had her chance to make some kind of deal with Ben to make a move, but chose to trust in her alliance with Devan.

At the immunity challenge, Chrissy ended up solving the gear puzzle first and winning her second individual immunity… leaving Ben scrambling to keep himself in the game.  Back at camp, everyone seemed content with voting out Ben or splitting votes, and didn’t bother to keep an eye on him looking for an idol.

At tribal council, Ben revealed that he did indeed find an idol, and rather playing the game of “will he or will he not” play the idol, he played the idol prior to the vote… leaving everyone scrambling (or so it seemed) to find someone to vote off.  In the end, everyone voted for Ashley (including Ben), so Ashley clearly was on the bottom.

We’re down to 5 and we’ll see how it all turns out in the finale Next week!

There are only a handful of people still alive to win the pool…take a look at the scorecard and find out!  Listen to the BingeCast after the finale to find out the WINNER next week!

Week 11 is the exact reason that you’ve got to take out the head of the snake before it comes back to bite you…

In what was the worst reward challenge of all time… we’ll call it Matching Rocks…. Chrissy matched a rock to win time with her loved one.  She chosse what seemed like everyone except Ben to enjoy her reward with her…and try to shift the game her way.  It didn’t work exactly like she had planned, but it did get everyone rethinking their alliance with Ben.  In the meantime, Lauren found half of an idol… Afterwards, we found Ben doing everything he could to completely blow up his game, revealing every secret to everyone.

In the immunity challenge, Devan gave up, giving Ashley another win in exchange for a message.  During the challenge, Lauren found the other half of her idol.

In the scramble before tribal, Lauren decided for some reason to give one half of her idol to Mike, as a sign of commitment to him… which is just dumb.

At tribal council, after Mike gave a big F U to Lauren by throwing the half of idol she gave him, into the fire… the real scrambling began.  It came down to Lauren or Ben… who was the biggest threat?!  It turned out to be Ben…

BUUUUUT… Ben had his idol, which he didn’t tell anyone about, and used it to save himself, sending Lauren home with his single vote.

More scrambling will ensue next week… but one of the final “powerhouses” is out of the game.

Nate hangs on to both of his Survivors… and after 2 short weeks, King watches his dreams get crushed losing both his Survivors in back to back weeks.  Lauren getting voted out gives him the lead for the time being… but it won’t last.  Chris remains in the drivers seat with Mike hanging around.  Check out the scores below… still a lot of points to be scored.

Keep an eye out here for updates throughout the remainder of the season.

This past week, we got a double dose of Survivor with back to back episodes!

In the first episode, we saw Lauren win the reward challenge, making it 2 challenges in a row for her.  Afterwards sharing her reward with Ben, Ashley, and Devin… Ben came back and randomly found an Idol without even really looking.  The immunity challenge saw Ashley take the necklace.  Tribal council led to the biggest blindside of the season, when the 4 who went on reward decided to flip the game upside down and go against their alliance (with the help of Mike and Joe) and vote JP off and become Juror #3.

In a possible big move, the new alliance of 4 decided to have Ben vote with the old alliance and essentially play as a spy moving forward.  We’ll see if this actually works out…

Episode 2 saw a team reward challenge where Joe, Ben, Devin, and Ashley won reward!  Ben continued to play “spy”, which means he has no say in what his 4 person alliance does.  The immunity challenge saw Chrissy come back for the win!

Tribal council brought some uncertainty with whether or not the new alliance of 4 would continue, but in the end, Joe was “blindsided” by his alliance that had been strong for 2 days.  Ryan played his second idol for no reason, which means it will come back in to play now!

And with that, Nate P remains the only player with both of his Survivors remaining!  King has broken the 100 point threshold, but at the expense of his best player… Joe.

Keep an eye out here for updates throughout the remainder of the season.
