Survivor Season 27 Recap: Week 5 – Can Tadhana Win A Challenge?
|It seems that Survivor Season 27 has been dominated by the Galang Tribe and in the first four Immunity Challenges on Survivor Blood vs Water, the blood is thicker and stronger than the water! Is it time for the Tadhana Tribe to break their losing streak and win one? Can someone besides a newbie be sent home? And will Monica replace her husband Brad on Redemption Island? These burning questions will be answered during my Survivor Season 27 Recap and we find out who went home on Survivor Season 27 tonight!
Last week on Survivor 2013, we saw Brad get blindsided by his tribe after losing another Immunity Challenge. Tonight the castaways head to Redemption Island and Monica is not going to be happy to see her husband down in the arena and ready to play! What happens? We find out soon enough and I think it is going to be a good one tonight!

Lol..Brad’s waving the white flag at Candice and John but he might as well burn it. His chance with them went up in flames the minute he opened his mouth.
That was too funny to see that girl choke on her words… Now I hope Brad goes far…
So glad Tadhana doesn’t go to tribal counsel tonight. That means Hayden is safe :). I’m all for THAT!
true
I hope Brad goes home next and then his wife right after him.
I’d go along with that. Both of them are irritating.
Cat,I get why so many find Brad irritating, but why do you find Monica irritating, maybe because she is married to Brad?
You got to be kidding me right? We are watching the same show…..@ Kaye!
Just my opinion kaye, but she exhibits the same sort of inflated ego that Brad has. She pointed out (to another tribe member) that Brad is now a lawyer as if that alone makes him a great player. I’m definitely not a fan of Gervase but i do think he has her number. I’m not psychic, but i see her getting the “Colton treatment” once again. Colton was instrumental in her departure on Survivor One World. Gervase may be her hidden nemesis this time. As much as i want Gervase gone, i want her torch to be extinguished equally as much. I like my Survivor winners exactly as i like my BB winners – humble but strategic, likable but crafty, determined but with a touch of humility. Monica has none of those qualities except maybe determination. Determination to prove that she and Brad are THE Survivor king and queen. I hope she’s dethroned soon.
So basically I am right, she is married to Brad and that alone makes her irritating to everyone. I didn’t find her to be that way when she played the game on her own. I found Candice to be very irritating and condescending. One reason she disliked Monica was because Monica wrote her name down and according to Candice voted her out that first day. Monica was not the only one to write Candice’s name down.
Could it be that some on Survivor think Brad does nothing since he retired from football? I guess instead of saying he was an attorney and sounding uppity she could have just said he has a job now that his football career is over.
Once again, just my opinion, but i think we would be seeing the same condescending attitude no matter WHO Monica was married to. Brad didn’t cause it, he just enhances it. I have to agree about Candice though. Her reasoning was faulty and ridiculous. There are so many other reasons – legitimate reasons – for her to dislike Monica. To choose one that makes no sense is not logical. She won’t be missed by me.
we don’t like either of them either. They should of sent Monica to
RI
Let her and brad duel it out! I was happy that Tadhana won something finally *(and without brad) lol
Ditto here, JO1
The challenge they won was a non physical challenge and no puzzles were involved. Brad not being there had nothing to do with it. I am also glad they finally won, they needed it for their mental health.
@ Kaye, of course it did! You said the magic word “mental” Brad brought a lot a negative baggage to the tribe. They won without him.
Going to reply to Mimi, the only individual left on that tribe that has any physical ability is Hayden. During challenges Hayden and Brad did the bulk of the work. They usually finished with a lead going into the puzzle portion of the challenge. I have no problem admitting that Brad is arrogant and runs his mouth too much, but he is an asset in physical challenges. If there is not a merge soon and there are more physical challenges Tadhana will not do well.
Challenge… no puzzle, non physical. Best chance for Tadhana to win.
Wow, I guess were all not perfect.
Watching the preview for next week, it looks like they are going to merge already.
I don’t know if it’s a merge or just a realignment of tribes. I’ve read rumors supporting each of those theories. I’m good with either. But what has me confused is why NO ONE is looking for the immunity idol. Or if they are it’s not being shown. It’s power in your pocket if you find it. You don’t have to reveal you have it (except to the fans). Its become a non-factor so far. Burnt clues or not, i’d be scouring the landscape for possible locations. Secretly of course. It’s like knowing the location of the Fountain of Youth but totally ignoring it. What good is it if it’s available but not put to good use. It’s worth making at least a small effort if strictly for insurance purposes.
I was thinking the same thing. Searching for the Idol would be on the top of my to-do list.
For those of us that just can’t let go of BB just yet, here’s a little news on the HGs. McCrae, Jeremy and Judd got together in Tennessee and decided they would get tatoos to honor their time in the BB house. Amanda of course was there to snap a few pics of it all. Their choices of tats was interesting. McCraes was an outline of the POV symbol (located on his shoulder), Judd got a Veto symbol also but it was solid and not just an outline (on his right side) and Jeremy opted for an XV on his toes. Ok, so which one do you think was the biggest chicken in this little endeavor? I’m choosing Mr TOEjam. Maybe he wasn’t as happy about his stay in the BB house as the other 2?
Thanks for the update Cat. Very interesting indeed.
thanks for the scoop Cat
Thanks for the BB update Cat. Much appreciated, still holding can’t let go just yet lol much much thanks.
Cat, you forgot to mention that Andy was there and got a tattoo also…his said Elissa’s fault
now that is funny jan jan
Maybe Andy should have Elissas name tattooed on his behind. That way if anyone blames him for anything he can just point to it.
Good one Cat….How are you doing today. Cool here this morning 49..
I couldn’t be better. Hope you are the same. A wonderful 45 degrees and lots of sun here. A perfect Fall day!
Looks like we’re having a tribe change-up instead of a merge this week. Should be interesting to see how the tribes shake out after it.
Very interesting. I can not wait.
How do you know all this stuff? Inside scoop maybe?
LOL what is up Miss Cat…
http://survivorfandom.com/survivor-2013-blood-vs-water-tribe-swap-this-week-36621/
Lol..wish i could say it was an inside scoop but it’s not. New tribes should be – Galang: Tina, Laura B, Vytas, Monica, Kat and Katie. Tadhana: Hayden, Tyson, Caleb, Gervase, Ciera and Aras. At least this is what my source tells me :).
Okay, you are being very evasive – not going to tell us who your source is eh? Doesn’t matter, I think you’re the best anyway Cat 🙂
Awww…you’re very sweet…and right back at ya Mary. It’s people like you that make this site a nice place to come to. Speaking of nice people….I wonder where Lilly has gone off to. I miss her comments. I hope all is ok with her hubby.
it’s a beautiful fall day here to…-8 with the windchill…almost like being back to summmer.
Cat, I always thought Andy was an ass anyway
Andy will be crying out both ends when he sees Elissa on The Bold and the Beautiful Thursday and Friday. Along with Rachel and a few other BB HGs. Including Howard (plays a DJ). I’m not a Bold and the Beautiful fan but i might watch just for kicks to see how Howard does.
It is okay Cat, Andy is good at crying…I would love to see him on Survivor…he will be crying constantly.
I just saw a commercial/preview of what’s going to happen tomorrow. Can’t wait 🙂
Hi Mary so it is good hey. Fill ne in
Looks like we’re having a tribe change-up instead of a merge this week. Should be interesting to see how the tribes shake out after it. From what I saw, the new teams are all fighting amongst themselves.
Really so we will see some folks scatering hey
We will get only one blood team reunited – Tina and Katie. And the immunity challenge looks to be extremely tough. It involves swimming (of course), fish traps and puzzle pieces. And it looks as though Aras is on someones radar.
Maybe his brother? Vytas
Don’t think so. I believe it might be Tyson wanting to do the dirty deed.
Thought maybe we were going to have a CAIN AND ABEL situation.
That would be interesting. I wonder if Aras or Vytas would vote each other off if it came down to it. At this point i wouldn’t mind if Vytas won the whole thing. It might help his identity crisis. Maybe then he could quit living in his brothers shadow. He seems to think he has something to prove. And i hope he succeeds at proving it.
I’m with you 100% Cat.
sob sob…if they all start fighting with each other, it will be just like a family reunion…(JOKE)…not all reunions are that bad
Lol..too true. A lot of times there’s some underlying competition between siblings. Especially if one seems to get more attention. I can kind of relate to Vytas. He’s not the strongest, most social or the smartest. Just my opinion, but i do think he’s the most determined. That can take you a long way in life. I’m just not sure how far it will get you on Survivor. Especially if you’re the only male on your new tribe configuration. I’m hoping he aligns with Kat. That would put him in Haydens corner when they merge. Together they may have what it takes to outlast the others.
Well good morning all on line Survivor Buddies… Well today is finally Wednesday. Should be an interesting night tonight. One problem, the show is not long enough.. Have a great day all.
Enjoyed reading all of your comments lifted my morning run.! Looking forward to an exciting nite on survivor tonite. I knew the producers would change things up this week….great weather, Miami, you know…
This morning we have 48 Mimi, and the weather is in for a big change the next few days. Frost by Friday evening, so I will have to bring my herbs inside. I love all the comments on here as well, I enjoy them allot. The only thing is not enough information to mess with Hubby like I had done with BB..HAHAHA
what is the temp there today. Have a great day Mimi…
Carol, we had an early morning pour temperatenow is 76 expected to get high as 82…it will. I would gladly welcome some of your weather I moved here from Chicago over 20 yrs ago, I miss seasons. Being the only season here is hot, rain, and more hot! But it works for what I do, ( run & exercise). What happen to Lily&Tessa? I do enjoy all of you so much.Hope you are having great day & yes survivor should be longer since there is no after dark LOL!
Hi Mimi, I do not know about Lily and Tessa, maybe we will see them today. I use to live in Ft. Lauderdale and Davie, moved further north to Port St. Lucie, and then here to SC. I love the season but hate the winters. Yea I got tired of all the hot weather there, but still have family in Okeechobee
Jan Jan kind of like when you send out invitations for the reunion, put on the cards leave the guns at home lmao
