I've been procrastinating my finale post for Survivor: Winners
I'll get to that eventually
Since I'm no fool, I know that I will not get 14 Tengagers to join this Random.org BBUS game so I'm going to select from the HoF like I did for Survivor: Winners but I will choose 14 that I did not choose the first time around. I did a random name generator for the 14 houseguests and used Random.org to assign each HoF member a character. So here's the cast:
12 weeks, 90 days
14 evictions, 2 evicted houseguests will return
The BvBvB team twist will only last the first six weeks
The final two will face a jury of seven
The next post will be the Random.org results but posted to look like the voting history on BBUS wikipedia pages. (if the image does not work I'll post a link to it)
(One of the final six found the last idol on Day 32)
Final Placing:

Night 33
The tribe returns to camp and Jenna is upset. Her entire alliance is gone and her only hope is an immunity run, but she has yet to win an individual immunity challenge. She says in confessional that the rivalries brewing in the majority alliance better pay off soon or she's gone too.
Parvati talks to Sandra, she tells her it's time to make a move.
--Survivor Intro--
Day 34
Natalie chit chats with Jenna. Jenna admits that she knows she's next. Natalie says you never know with this game. Parvati and Sandra join them. (Earl and Yul are off strategizing) Sandra brings up that they have the numbers to go against Earl and Yul. Parvati agrees, they've got a tight bond. There's want to go to final three together. Natalie agrees, adding that Yul has jury votes. His alliance with Danni and Boston Rob, and they're probably swaying votes to his side right now. Jenna says that Yul has also been great in challenges. He has won two individual immunities so far. Sandra says the numbers are here and that only one of the two of them can win immunity.
Earl and Yul talk about how Jenna needs to go soon, but Sandra or Parvati should go first. They decide they want to take Natalie A to the final three with them. They just have to make sure Parvati doesn't win any immunity challenges from here on out.
Parvati goes off to talk with Sandra. Parvati says she doesn't think they can trust Natalie. They probably should not have trusted her this long. Sandra says that she has been talking to Jenna all day. Parvati says probably to ensure her jury vote. Jenna's five person alliance will determine the winner of the game. Sandra says whoever Jenna decides to vote for in the end will win the game as she's sure her alliance will vote with her. Parvati says they need to make sure Natalie doesn't get to the end. Sandra agrees.
The final six arrive at their final reward challenge of the season. Earl wins the challenge and chooses Jenna and Sandra to join him on the reward trip.
Day 35
Earl, Jenna, and Sandra return. While they were gone both Natalie and Parvati talked strategy extensively (and separately) with Yul. Yul goes off to talk with Earl and says Natalie is quite the gamer and she surprised him with how well she put forth her arguments to go against Parvati. But Parvati, on the other hand, had the best argument Yul thinks. He says that she has been getting super close with Jenna and Jenna's alliance will determine the winner of the game. Earl thinks that maybe they shouldn't take Natalie to the final three.
Sandra, Jenna, and Parvati talk about the upcoming vote. They all agree that Natalie is a threat, strategic and social. Jenna says she thinks that Natalie may have the idol. They probably shouldn't vote for her outright this round. Jenna says that Natalie has gotten quite comfortable with her place in the game. She thinks and knows that she can win it. Sandra says that the best play may be to go after her potential voting block (Earl and Yul) first. Parvati says if you take out one of them, she won't have to votes on her side at F5 of F4.
Natalie talks to Earl and Yul. She says Sandra and Parvati are working on Jenna to get her vote. Earl and Yul tell Natalie that they want to go to the final three with her. Natalie says she is in. Natalie thinks that Parvati should go next while Earl thinks that Sandra is the best bet. They can't allow Sandra to get that close to the final for a third time. Natalie rolls her eyes, in confessional she expresses her disagreement as this would be Parvati's third time in the finals too.
Day 36
The final six arrive for their next immunity challenge. Sandra, Earl, and Yul fall out of the challenge halfway through and it comes down to Jenna, Natalie, and Parvati. Jenna falls out next. Natalie and Parvati show no signs of budging. They are both determined to win this one. After a couple hours, Parvati drops out. Natalie wins individual immunity for the second time this season.
Sandra/Parvati approach Natalie about the vote. (They need a fourth vote to gain majority over Earl/Yul) They think Earl is a good play. He's on good terms with the whole jury. Parvati adds that Earl/Yul want to keep Jenna around to use her as a vote. In confessional, Natalie is laughing. They don't know about her final three deal with Earl/Yul. She's just worried the vote will come down to a tie and that they'll have to draw rocks. That would screw up so many plans. Natalie adds that she hopes she can get Jenna's vote, but she doesn't want to budge. Natalie thinks Jenna is 100% sticking with Sandra and Parvati. Natalie tells Sandra/Parvati that she's with them and that she'd like an all female final four.
Earl and Yul talk to Jenna, but she doesn't seem interested in working with them. In confessional, Jenna says she cannot trust Yul. He's already betrayed her and her alliance at the merge. (Yul flipping against Tina screwed up Tina/Todd/Denise/Fabio/Jenna's game) Jenna says she feels like she can trust Earl, but she'd rather have him on the jury. She thinks she can get Earl's jury vote. She hopes she can get Yul's jury vote. Jenna, in confessional, gives herself a pep talk. She's not on anyone's radar this vote so that means she just has two more votes to survive and then she's in the final three.
The final six arrive at their next tribal council. Jeff brings in the members of the jury: Tina, Todd, Denise, Danni, Boston Rob, and Fabio. Jeff talks to Jenna first, asking how it feels to be the only left of her alliance. She admits that it's scary, but she's found a decently comfortable spot between the now fractured majority alliance. Jenna says they all want each other out and that she's just sitting there, eating metaphoric popcorn, and enjoying the show. Jeff asks who wants who out. Jenna says it's clear that the guys are against the girls at this point, but that only means 4 to 2. Jeff asks Earl and Yul about being outnumbered by the women. Earl says it's alright. They want each other out too so he doesn't really see it as a 4 to 2 split. Jeff asks who wants who gone of the women. Jenna says it's not secret that Parvati and Natalie are working against each other. Parvati whispers to Jenna, "thanks Jen" and rolls her eyes. Natalie says well that's the first time anyone has been open about it. Parvati adds, who wouldn't be against Natalie? She's a strategic and social powerhouse who's also great at challenges. Natalie says "thanks Parv, but don't downplay your great game. Wouldn't want you going too far." Parvati says "likewise." Jeff instructs the final six to vote, they do so and return. Jeff retrieves the urn and asks if anyone has or would like to play an idol, no one budges.
First vote: PARVATI....
....
PARVATI....
....
....EARL....
....
EARL....
....
.....PARVATI....
....
...."Seventeenth person voted out and the seventh member of our jury is PARVATI."
Parvati says "Wow, good job, Nat. You got me out." Natalie grins. Parvati says her goodbyes and wishes good luck to Sandra. She brings her torch over to Jeff and he snuffs it. The jury is completely surprised. Parvati heads out to Ponderosa. The final five head back to camp.
THE FINALE!!!
Two more challenges, two more regular tribal councils
The jury will finally speak their mind to the final three
The winner will be revealed!
I will be splitting the finale into three posts as there is too much to do and say in just one blog.
Part 1 - 5th and 4th place boots
Part 2 - The Jury Speaks
Part 3 - Winner Reveal/Reunion
Again, to my jurors if you want to write something to the final three or about the season in general, let me know. It would be cool if I could get all nine of you to have your own speeches. And to my pre-jurors, if you want to say anything for the reunion post let me know.
Based on post-merge gameplay, alliances, jury management, idols, challenges, etc., who do you think could win this jury vote? (Granted we've only got 6 of the 9 jurors so far lol)

The final 7 arrive for their next reward challenge. Jeff brings out a loved one for each of them. Jeff says the winner of the challenge will be able to bring their loved one back to camp for the day, along with the clue to the hidden immunity idol.
Ultimately, Jenna wins the reward challenge. Jeff gives her the clue and she is able to spend time with her loved one. Jeff informs Jenna that she can select three others who can have their loved join them for the day. Jenna first chooses Earl because he hasn't won a reward so far post-merge. She then selects Sandra and Yul, admitting in confessional that she figure her selections were for strategy purposes. She wants to be on good terms with potential jurors/swing votes. Fabio says in confessional that he is bummed that Jenna didn't choose him. They've been working together since Day 1.
Back at camp after everyone gets to know the loved ones and tour the camp, Jenna, her loved one, and Fabio read off the hidden immunity idol clue in private. Sandra, Earl, and Yul tell their loved ones that Jenna/Fabio are on the outs and they need the idol. Parvati and Natalie A run off towards Jenna/Fabio to try and find the idol before them. A mad scramble ensues as Sandra/Earl/Yul join in on the idol hunt. Even the loved ones are involved in the hunt. Earl/Natalie/Parvati/Sandra/Yul keep their eyes on what Jenna and Fabio are doing to make sure they don't find it. After about an hour everyone heads back to camp.
**one of the final 7 has found the idol**
**will be revealed at one of the upcoming tribal councils**
As the sun begins to set, the boat arrives to pick up the loved ones. Everyone says their goodbyes.
Day 33
Earl goes off to talk to Jenna and Fabio. He proposes a plan. He says with Yul, they can take out jury/strategic threats like Natalie/Parvati/Sandra. Jenna and Fabio agree that they are threats. Other than the Danni boot, they've been the deciding factors in everyone vote since the merge. Jenna asks who to vote for first. Earl suggests Sandra. She's won twice and if she makes it to the end again she will get votes. Jenna says she would be down for that she just has to think about it. She walks off. Fabio stays behind. Earl and Yul propose a final three deal with Fabio. He says he is 100% on board, but in confessional admits that he plans on going to the end with Jenna.
Jenna talks with Sandra. Jenna tells her everything that Earl and Yul said about her. Sandra is pissed. She says in confessional she wants to confront them. But first, she goes to discuss what has transpired with Natalie and Parvati. They aren't shocked, but say that this shows Jenna is loyal to them. Fabio tells Jenna about Earl and Yul's final three proposal. Jenna laughs and says she's glad she has told Sandra everything. They wonder if Sandra will confront Earl/Yul.
At the next individual immunity challenge. It comes down to Fabio, Natalie, and Yul. Ultimately Yul wins immunity and is safe from the vote. Jenna and Fabio are worried.
Back at the camp, Sandra asks Earl/Yul who they think should go next. Jenna or Fabio? Earl and Yul say that Fabio is a safe vote. He nearly won immunity for a fourth time and could go on a winning streak to the final tribal. Sandra laughs. She says that is not what she heard. Earl/Yul look confused but reiterate that they might as well vote Fabio. She says sure, let's go with that.
Sandra goes off to talk with Natalie/Parvati. She says that Earl and Yul just lied to their faces. They agree that they can't let Earl/Yul take control of the game. They discuss that Earl might have to go earlier. They can deal with Jenna and Fabio at anytime. Jenna and Fabio would vote with them to take out Earl.
Earl/Yul talk with Jenna/Fabio about the vote. They all agree that Sandra is next to go. Before the tribe heads off to tribal, Sandra pulls Jenna/Fabio aside to fill them in on the plan to vote off Earl.
When they arrive at tribal council, Jeff brings in the jury: Tina, Todd, Denise, Danni, and Boston Rob. Jeff asks Fabio if he feels vulnerable. Fabio says it doesn't feel good not having the assurance of immunity. He says he knows it will be him or Jenna again tonight. No matter what the majority alliance plots behind each others' backs, they always seem to stick together (he's acting so Earl/Yul don't know about the last minute switch). Earl says there have been shifts in strategy now that Danni and Boston Rob are on jury, but that they can't let threats like Jenna and Fabio slide by. Sandra says to Jeff that that is a joke. Everyone knows the majority alliance as fractured and now Jenna and Fabio have become valuable swing votes. Parvati adds that this vote is about navigating the end game. She says "Who do you want on jury? Who are your biggest obstacles? and What's your best route to the final." Alliances are so fluid at this point in the game especially if they don't have your best interests in mind, Sandra adds. Jeff instructs the final 7 to vote. They vote and return. Jeff retrieves the urn. He returns, asks if anyone has the idol and wants to play it (no one budges), and reveals the vote:
First vote: EARL.....
.....EARL......
......
FABIO.....
.........FABIO
....
FABIO.....
.....
"Sixteenth person voted out and the sixth member of the jury is FABIO."
Fabio says goodbye and good luck to Jenna and takes his torch over to Jeff. Jeff snuffs his torch and Fabio heads out to Ponderosa. The final 6 leave tribal council.
Sandra wants Earl out. Earl wants Sandra out. Natalie wants Parvati out. Parvati wants Natalie out. The New Pagong alliance has dominated the merge, but now their alliance is fractured beyond repair. An idol is now in play. Who has it? Who's next to go? Find out TOMORROW. Episode 14 is the last episode before the FINALE.
