Survivor Finale Coverage part five

"First off congratulations...the power shifts to the JURY"

Opening Statements.

Chase. Admits he's been wishy-washy. YES. Yes you Have

Fabio. Deserves to win. I didn't backstab the jury

Sash. Friendships...blah blah blah. (?)

Quote: "Chase, Fabio, Sash-- I'll give you a moment to think about what you are going to say"

Survivor Finale Coverage part 4.5

Quote: "The ninth and final member of our jury. Holly"

What does this mean?

Fabio, Sash and Chase. Who will be SOLE SURVIVOR?

Survivor Finale Coverage part four

Who is going to final three? Heres my Data Management Combinations knowlegde coming in.

Will it be:

Fabio, Holly and Chase?

Fabio, Holly and Sash?

or

Fabio, Sash and Chase?

Hoping it will be Fabio, Sash and Chase. I think Holly has a really good chance at winning if she stays in. But I am still rootin for Fabio

Who will it be?

Survivor Finale Coverage part three

After an intense challenge of balance and concentration, it comes down to just Sash and Fabio.

Balancing their coins. But Sash's coins fall and QUOTE: "FABIO WINS IMMUNITY!"

WOO. Fabio GUARANTEES HIS SPOT IN FINAL 3!

Survivor Finale Coverage part two

MISTAKE voting out Dan. BIG MISTAKE.

Holly is a HUGE HUGE threat to everyone out there. Dan was not.

I don't think Sash and Chase can win against her if they take her to the final 3. Just Sayin'.

Fabio NEEDS to win the immunity again!

FABIO YOU CAN STILL WIN! KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME

AHHH SO EXCITING!

Survivor Finale Coverage part one

Quote: "FABIO WINS IMMUNITY!"

Who will be voted out?

Probably Dan. Will the other 3 realize, though, that Dan is a good person to take to the final 3 because I doubt he would be voted for to win the million.

Who will be voted out?

Survivor Rant

Jane has played an amazing game. She should be proud of the way she played to the very end.

Little Recap Rant:

Jane has stayed true to her alliances. Since Jane ALWAYS works so hard around camp:

1) This means she is well liked by everybody.

2) She is a strong Fiesty old woman

3) Major threat to the remaining players because the ENTIRE jury loves her (except Marty...but he's a foo)

On Today's episode Jane was basically told by her alliance that they were voting her out.

(A little Harsh for an innocent like Jane)

LOVE. LOVE. Jane's Reaction. She told them!

She basically makes them feel so bad for the rest of the day..and it works because they all KNOW she deserves to be there

but BEST of ALL...SHE DUMPS water on the fire and puts it out! HAHAHAHA

TAKE IT!

I understand that Jane was a threat, but seagulls like Chase definately need to learn to play the game with a little more brains as well as a little more dignity and honour to stay true to their word.

So now Jane's voted out. Yes I'm sad...because I was going for Jane. I think she played the game well. And do be honest, I think the only thing that was against her in the game was being too nice to ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE (except Marty...but we already went over this).

Jane being voted out is not the end of the story. I will still be watching the Season Finale. Who has my vote?

Definately NOTS:

Well Chase Lost my Respect once he started playing the game without his brain and too much with his mouth...unfortunately never being able to follow through

Sash never Really had my Respect. He thinks he's the king of the Castle..neener neener neener..but hes a dirty rascal (that was a childhood rhyme I used to sing. Seemed to work in this situation)

RUNNERS UP:

Dan. Koodos for Dan making it all the way to the end..But i dont think that he deserves to be the Soul Survivor because he made it this far just because he has no strategy therefore he is a threat to NOBODY. If Dan happend to win I would not be disappointed, because he did work hard and physically strained himself the whole game

Holly. Holly. Holly. Shes an interesting one. I think she had a rough start but she has managed to pull through. I think she is loaded with Strategy and has played the game well. If Holly won, I would not be dissappointed, I think she did play smart (her downfall being STEALING SHOES?!) haha...only question is Why does someone bring $1000 shoes to survivor??

and DUN DUN DUN

My #1 Vote Goes to Fabio:

You ask Why?

Fabio is SO Dumb! He makes me laugh SO HARD every episode. The whole fact that his name is actaully Jud makes this even funnier. Any other player could have used innocence as a strategy, but i think Fabios innocence (or if you want to call it Stupidity) has brought him so Far in the Game. I hope to see Fabio win. This Would make me incredible Happy and Laugh an Incredible amount!

GO JUD...FABIO!

SEASONS FINALE SUNDAY DECEMBER 19!

Rant Worthy Survivor Rant

Its been a while since I have had a Survivor Rant, but I think the instances of tonights episode are very VERY RANT WORTHY.

WHO GIVES UP ON SURVIVOR?! Just up and decide "O I've had enough", "I'm cold", lalalala

You don't do that...YOU JUST DON'T

ERG. NaOnka and Purple Kelly.

You don't derserve to be on the jury...you didn't deserve to play the game If you are just going to up and quit like that.

How we Attract Them Boys

P.R.A.Y

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen

-Prayer of St.Francios of Aussi

ERRRon....eeeeerrron

I'm not too sure what we (Crub and I) were going for here. But turns out that you can entertain yourself with just a melted yoghurt tube and your lovely sound effects.

I like to say these are the Times I Love

Maybe this is a rant about how I love to babysit. Maybe it only makes sense in my head. But rants are often about things that I like. I like to say that this rant is about something that I love (maybe even a gift). I love kids. I love spending time with them. I love to babysit.

Tonight I was babysitting a family that I have babysat since I started babysitting (what Grade 8 or something??). Now their kids are almost too old for a babysitter and I was merely there to supervise and create fun for a couple hours.

I like to say that these are the times that I love.

The times you can pretend to be one of the kids again. Be the babysitter that breaks a few rules here and there. Let them have candy and ice cream--It was Heavenly Hash. We watch Mr. Bean. We played Swipe. I loved watching them re-enacting scenes from a movie. And hearing about the teachers they don't like or stories from grade school. Tell them funny stories of when I was in gradeschool. I hear about their sports teams. If it had been a little earlier in the day, possibly we would have gone outside to shoot some hoops.

If I could forever be a babysitter. If forever kids never grew up. If forever I didn't grow up. Or that time would stop flying by at a speed that I can't count. I like to say that these are the Times I love, and I like to say that forever thats what I could do.

Trials of Many Kinds

I have been hearing a lot about trials lately. Trials are tough. They are trying. They can rip at the very deepest part of us. They sometimes seem like a bully that comes along and sticks their foot out to trip us.

Trials are the boy who has cancer or the girl who is in the hospital for a month. Trials are families that are struggling through to remain standing when everything seems to be pushing them down.

...friendships that are broken or being stabbed in the back ...feeling lonely...questioning where you are going in life or not where you are at now....

.....the list goes on and on and on.....

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Cool Beans

I bet your mom doesn't quote lines from your favourite movies or say "Woot Woot"

"Cool Cool Cool Beans"

Mom, I think you are cool.

Faith

Today was an amazing day. God blessed it.

It was my profession of faith and back when I spoke to the elders, they asked me why I was doing my profession.

God always has been part of my life. When I was a baby, I was baptized and a whole lot of promises were made by my parents and the congregation. Today in a way I accepted my baptism. I believe that God is my Father and Creator. He loves me more than I can ever imagine. Sin separates me from God, but Christ bought me at an incredible price that I might live and be saved from my sins and spend ETERNITY with Him!

We sang two songs put together into one. It is called 'My Desire' . If you have never heard the songs before, they are 'My Desire' by Jeremy Camp and 'This is my Desire' by Reuben Morgan I encourage you to listen to them. They are very powerful.

This is my desire

This is my return

This is my desire to be used by you

God has always been a part of my life and I always want him to be a part of my life. God has placed me on this amazing journey and I want to spend every day walking with Him and for Him.

Your statutes are wonderful;

therefore I obey them.

The unfolding of your words gives light;

it gives understanding to the simple.

I open my mouth and pant,

longing for your commands.

Turn to me and have mercy on me,

as you always do to those who love your name.

Direct my footsteps according to your word;

Let no sin rule over me.

Redeem me from the oppression of men,

that I may obey your precepts.

Make your face shine upon your servant

and teach me your decrees.

Psalm 119:129-135

Four...then Six...then Seven

Yesterday I was babysitting and the little boy said to me

"Right now I'm four...then I'll be six and then I'll be seven"

I asked him when he was going to be five/if he was ever going to be five

"I don't really know when I gonna be five"

Super Cute Moment.

Lucy the Llama

Thanksgiving day, Mom and I were at home while Dad, Emily, and Kat went to the Rockton Fair. Mom looked out the front window because she noticed that traffic was going slowly.

"Brit! There's a Llama running down the road!"

Its not every day you see a Llama running down the road. By the time we got the camera going, the Llama had already run behind our barn and into our field towards the neighbors house.

The people from down the road came looking for thier llama, we were walking to the neighbours to see the llama, and the neighbours dogs were chasing the llama into the next neighbour's cornfield.

First of all, it was cool to see a llama up close. Ever since Emporer's New Groove, llama's in my eyes are extremely cool

Second, all this time while Dad, Kat, and Emily were at the fair, the real show was at home.

Turns out you don't have to go to the Rockton's fair to see a llama show. Thanks for coming for a visit Lucy.
