survivor season 50 episode 11

i am going to note this will be the last season i cover of survivor as this episode silidified the problems that have existed for a while but out of respect will cover the last two episodes for the fact it is season 50 but the show is no longer likely to be in my group of shows.

rizzo is happy at being part of the tribal aubury is worried about the situation jonathan is not happy with the outcome and wants to make a move against ozzy but lost an ally. devens idol is going good for two tribals as its only final 7 worth and man he is still annoying. tiffany and cirie confirm and they are worried about the idols which has cirie worried about a repeat of game changers. contestants reflect on the letters from home. the immunity challenge is split into two teams for tribal with the winner gettting to vote at both in the bermuda triangles challenge which jonathan wins over tiffany in a close battle which tells them an advantage for tribal which is the main problem and not known till the challenge is over. tiffany had technically outlasted but had cheated by accident during the count in. the twist is stupidly re divided into 2 groups of 4 with seperate tribals devens, tif, cirie and emily in one group while rizzo. joe, aubury and ozzy with jonathan voting both. cirie tries to get the majority to split between devins and emily which works and devons plays his idol so emily is voted out in a revote despite emily wanitng to try and ge tcirie out. ozzy reveals too much to aubury and even reveals he has an extra vote that he gave to cirie and tells aubury which leads to a blindside of ozzy 4-1 over aubury without playing an idol which is the main reason i am done with this show.

next time just hope devons goes.

todays gospel reflection divine mercy sunday year a

john 20 19-31

this is the story of how jesus appeared to his deciples after his death and how he gave them courage to spread the good news to the people of the world as well as how thomas wasn’t there and how he was later appeared to. this is the end of johns gospel it looks like based on the ending of the story. this is proof about how important you need to have courage to tell people about your faith.

airline guide rex

today i am starting a new segment where i describe airlines this is not the same as the airport guide and will include some airlines that don’t exist anymore.

launch date – july 1 2002

country – australia

history – largely a regional airline the airline tried capital city routes for two years but it almost destroyed the airline they traditionally only served the southern states but have expanded into qld and wa in recent years.

hubs – melbourne, sydney, adelaide.

destionations – regional nsw, vic, qld, wa, sa.

routes examples – albury to sydney, wagga to sydney melbourne, dubbo to sydney, broken hill to sydney via dubbo sometimes, burnie to melbourne, moruya to mirimbila to sydney, qld milk runs.

aircraft – saab 340 57 only type they use.

hq are in wagga weirdly enough but are based in sydney.

flight experiences – there should be a review of a 2021 flight from sydney to albury on the blog (and maybe one more recent) haven’t flown them since 2022 they are known for having a sweet or savory snack on their routes complementary with water tea and coffee.

next time – british airways.

2 – is the international terminal handles all overseas airlines plus qantas international (see the destination section for the list but no longer will have a380 flights. virgin australias international flights use this terminal for nadi nz and bali flights and all over seas airlines with gates 9 11 16 18 and 20 can handle a380s which emirates singapore airlines (maybe) and sometimes qantas use on their routes. the only domestic flights are tag alongs like qatars adeliade-melbourne-doha service (might have been replaced by canberra as the starting point).

3 – is the virgin terminal now only gates 1-10 as the rest are now in terminal 4 is the virgin domestic terminal so youll only get virgin 737s at these gates.
