BWW Recap: SURVIVOR- BLOOD VS WATER 11/19; Full Results!

Sigh. Let's revisit last week's SURVIVOR, shall we? No matter how painful and emotionally taxing it may be, I think we all need to talk about it. It's the only way to move on. To get some closure. To find inner peace. To learn to love again. (Oh, c'mon, Kara, cool the histrionics. Nope, sorry, shan't, won't.) So grab some Kleenex and dab your eyes, dear readers, because we're going to talk about Josh.

Josh Canfield, boyfriend of Broadway vet REED KELLY (SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK), met his untimely fate at last week's tribal council, and it was, like, really sad. After Jeremy won the individual immunity comp, I think we all saw the writing on the wall--the writing in the sand, more accurately--but there was the teeny tiny glimmer of hope that Baylor would get voted out instead. After all, she's been on just about everybody's radar this season. But nope, it was Josh's turn to surrender his torch, thereby becoming the first member of our jury. In case you couldn't tell, I really didn't want to see him go. He showed a lot of promise as a contestant, with a strong social game that pegged him as a potential puppet master player, pulling the strings, but without being a jerk about it. Plus he and Reed are just super cute. Yup. He could've had it all, but the stars were clearly not aligned. I'm still sad about it, but maybe it was a smart move on behalf of the Huyopa tribe--as smart as you can be with such a dopey name, anyway. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.

This week, I want to see Reed avenge his bf's dismissal, I really do. I feel like, of the two, Reed's been the quieter half of the pair in this game, so now's his time to really step up and do...something. Throw some shade, stir the pot a little. And y'know what, a little birdie in the form of a CBS promo tells me that pretty much everybody is looking to do the same thing. Make some moves and wreak some havoc. And that's great, because that's the kind of TV we all want anyway, isn't it?

CBS is promising the "biggest blindside" of the season tonight. Who would you be the most shocked to see go home?

8:02 Well, well, well, look who's campaigning for the Boyfriend of the Year award. Jumping ship to defend Jacyln's honor and everything; it's like something out of a Jane Austen novel, minus the English accents and triple the sunburn.

I always like these one-on-one comps. Reed vs Wes seems like a pretty easy bet in the first round. Aw yeah, Reed, use them dancer's legs and balance it up. That's a satisfying win, although I would have liked it better if he screamed, "This one's for YOU, Josh!" before belly flopping onto Wes' defeated, mud-drenched frame. Wait, this comp is actually hilarious. Something about ridiculously shaky and flailing limbs just makes me laugh. Wobble, wobble, wobble.

8:20 Smooth move, Natalie. By giving up your reward to Jon, you not only look super duper nice, but you also make sure that Jon owes you. Not bad, not bad at all. Reed's got a fair point though; it is really transparent. If Reed's looking to stir up some "chaos," he may use that move against her...but I hope not; there are other people I'd prefer to see #blindsided.

8:27 Oh my gosh, imagine being stuck on Exile Island all night in the middle of a thunderstorm with nothing to comfort you but a wet tribal buff and the reassuring smiles of one unlucky cameraman? That's #terrible. I certainly do not envy Jeremy right now.

I would be absolutely terrible at this immunity comp. Now granted, I would be absolutely terrible at every immunity comp, but my atrociousness on this particular one would be exceptional, get what I'm sayin'? I'm stressing myself out just looking at these guys.

8:40 Gah, Reed. So close, yet so far. Now, I hope his idea of stirring the pot is a bit more sophisticated than dumping the tribe's rice. Ohhh, here we go, leave it to Keith's #rookiemistake (that's an actual hashtag, by the way, not one I made up, I'll let that sink in) to give Reed a golden opportunity to create some drama.

8:50 Ha, Jon. You would feel "extrememly confident" that somebody has a hidden immunity idol, wouldn't you, you sneaky little devil.

I have no idea who's going home tonight. No wonder CBS was able to boast tonight's tribal council as "the biggest blindside" of the season. It doesn't matter who gets voted out, I'll still be surprised. I mean really.

These votes though! Two for Keith, three for Reed--this is making me nervous...Wait, Jeremy? Another vote for Jeremy? And another vote for Jeremy? Look at Reed and Josh practically squeeing at each other across the bonfire. Aw, I'm a little conflicted about this tribal, gotta say. Jeremy was always good for a one-liner or two, but I guess when the tribe speaks, the tribe speaks.

How would you have voted at tonight's tribal council? Was it really the biggest blindside of the season?
