We all will miss Jackie and her unique, well-informed perspective. Some of you knew her as a friend — to you, I offer my heart-felt sympathy on your loss
♡
We all will miss the conversations that happened in the comments section of her blog, and some of us would like to still have a place to chat about the show.
♡
I’m offering this page on my website as a place for us to do just that: meet and chat about the show, about ourselves, about each other, and about Jackie too — until something better and more like what Jackie did gets created or becomes available.
♡
Here’s a bit about me, who, in the many years that I visited Jackie’s blog, I most often was too shy to do anything but lurk, so none of you likely know me:
I live in the Canadian prairies with my husband and very recently we became happy empty nesters. We both drive school buses for our local public school division.
♡
Jackie was a great, prompt, witty episode reporter. I already know that I am not that. I am more of a “late-to-the-party-story-teller” kind of episode reporter.
That’s why the comment sections are where you’ll want to be anyway. That’s where the friendships are. That’s where the nailbiting, minute-by-minute reports and observations are happening.
Jackie brought us together, and this is where that can continue.

I commented this in the episode 1 comment section:
“I really miss you guys when Survivor isn’t happening, so I check in to Jackie’s blog a lot even when it’s “out of season”.
On January 31 there was a post, and it was only up for a short time, maybe a day, maybe shorter, called “thank you and goodbye”. I thought Jackie had something ready and was just testing it out in preparation for when the time was right to automatically post it.
The next day, it was gone.
I took a screen shot of it, but I’m not sure where to or whether to post it for you guys to read.”
Several of you want to see it, so I’m posting it way down here, because I feel weird about posting it. See, for whatever reason, someone erased it from Jackie’s blog. So I will leave it up here for a while, and after all who needed to see it have taken your own screenshots of it, I’ll take it down.
After you are all finished with it.
Love, respect, JoyEllen/vibeforvibrant
We’ll all miss Jackie, but it’s so nice to have someone willing to try and keep “the party” going. Thank you.
Hi Sharon N. I’m relieved you’ve come over. Now I have hope there will be more conversations about Survivor to look forward to!
Hopefully a few more will check into Jackie’s blog and see you have this started. I left a post there, hoping some will notice it’s happened.
I’ve been following Jackie for years, but haven’t committed. I’ll miss her. Hopefully more people will join.
Hi Tami!
I have a feeling that come Wednesday night when there isn’t a fresh place to talk about the show, more will come. I’m looking forward to SueGee’s pool as well.
Jackie had a Facebook page titled the same “The Show Must Go One” ….
I wonder if it would help people notice your new Survivor Blog by posting and giving your link on her FB page???
I didn’t know that, Sharon N! I’ll check it out!
Thank you, Joy. I don’t have the “it” required to run a blog.
I’m in it for my online friends & Jackie’s Memory.
As she wrote, “The TV Show Must Go On.
.”
Hi Petals, I’m glad you’re here. That’s 4 of us so far, we can now definitely have a conversation about the shows when they air!
Wow, good to see you here, Joy! Excellent work. How excited ng, the show goes on!
Hey Lizzo! I’m glad you’re here! where are you at in the show right now?
Sorry Joy. I was incorrect about the title of Jackie’s Facebook page. It’s actually called “Big Brother on Jackie’s TV Blog”…. but Jackie covered all the various Reality shows on that page.
Oh, thanks for that correction, Sharon N. I couldn’t find it otherwise! I looked at that Facebook community and I feel that is something I cannot duplicate, not at this time anyway. To quote Petals, “I don’t think I have the ‘it’ required to run a”… facebook group like that one, but this I can do.
These days the only reality show I watch is Survivor and I enjoyed watching Alone and the Island with Bear Grylls. I used to watch the Amazing Race, The Amazing Race Canada, Big Brother and Big Brother Canada, but then I started driving a school bus, and I’ll tell you, that’s enough of a reality show for me!! LOL!
We don’t really need a LOT of people here, anyway, only the ones who will miss Jackie, her blog and the conversations and relationships that happened in the comments there.
I am here and am also sad about Jackie. I am grateful to Joy Ellen for continuing this blog and providing a place for all of us to still chat.
I would also like to be in the blog pool. Thanks SueGee.
I am West Coast so I usually participate after the party is over. But I read everything!
Love and hugs to all. I know we will all miss Jackie so much.
Hi Dr Celine. I’m glad you’re here too! This will have a different feel without Jackie, but I think we will still enjoy each others opinions about everything going on in the show.
Love and hugs to you too!
Miss Jackie so much. Also a long time fan of Jackie but tried to be a wall flower.
Happy to hae a place to gather,
Welcome Indiana Jane! If you comment, then SueGee will know to add you to the pool when she is ready to create it, so you’re in!!!
May I jump in the pool plz?
Hi everyone!! I’m so sad about Jackie and I know no one will ever replace her.
The pool will have to wait a couple shows – I have to travel to Iowa for a couple weeks to help care for my son who had back surgery on Monday, so my mind is just not on Survivor right now.
I will try and drop by during the show tomorrow night and hope we can chat!
Squeegee
Hi SueGee, and welcome! I’m so glad you found us too, because your blog pool is part of the fun!
I already have a picture ready for the banner of your pool post. 🙂
Please, take your time with it though, live your life, love on your son.
We will happily await your return, and look forward to hearing how he is doing.
Count me in when you can do it. Thank you.
Thank you Joy Ellen for allowing Jackie’s friends to have a place to gather and share our grief and love of community.
I was a lurker on Jackie’s blog for over a decade until I posted my first comment about a year ago. And just like that, everyone treats you as a new friend and part of the community. I don’t have cable and my tv doesn’t get CBS, so this will be the first year I won’t be watching Survivor. I’ve only missed one episode ever – the VCR are my tape. 🙂
I have a dinner on Wednesdays for the next 4 weeks so I’ll be joining the comments a little bit late. Sue, speedy recovery for your son. When you create a pool, please add me. Michelle
Hi Michelle, it’s nice to have you here! I’m glad we still have a place to chat about the show, even if you’re not watching, you can experience it, and this nice little community.
There are ways to stream it that you might want to try.
In Canada, Survivor airs on the GlobalTV network. I can download the GlobalTV app and watch it starting the day after it airs, and then for 5 days after, before they lock it for subscribers only.
I wonder if CBS offers a similar service?
Joy,
In the US, the app affiliated with CBS is Paramount+.
Oh, that’s too bad, cuz that makes it not free to watch in the US unless you subscribe to Paramount, right?.
I see that Survivor (season 46?!? Really??) begins tonight. This is our new beginning.
Love to everyone
Hi Petals, welcome!
Hi folks. Tied up tonight but wanted to let you know I was thinking of you all
Hi Joe in NY. Welcome to this space, thank you for leaving a note. You missed the show and I’m working on writing a recap on the episode posting.
😚
Hi Joe in NY! Glad you’re here too!
I just read the sad news about Jackie. She will be missed. Don’t know if Survivor or Big Brother will ever be the same. Thank you Joy creating this space for all of us to gather.
Donna
Hi Donna L. Welcome to this group! I hope it helps, there is no other place I’ve found quite like Jackie’s blog, but as she always said, the action is in the comments, because it’s the people she pulled together who helped make it so great.
So glad we have a home together again Donna! I’ve missed everyone…
Honey!!! Xoxo thank you for popping in.
Hey Donna!
We must get accustomed to a new place.
I’m pretty crushed about Jackie, but, according to her, The TV Show Must Go On !
So very true and grateful!
You know what is so strange? For 46 seasons of associated this show and Jeff’s voice with jackie. I almost expect him to say something about her or acknowledge it in some way. I know that’s ridiculous, but my brain is trained to hear their voices together.
I know! How can he NOT?
Season 46!! Got your buffs?? Let’s go!
Squeegee
Joy – is this how you envisioned all this? Us just talking here?
To take over her account we would need her password to her email account. And even then you have to have Blogger’s permission. In my research I read some sad, sad stories about people losing all their partner’s pictures etc
Hey squeee
Here’s the link to the chat room for tonight…
https://motherguru.ca/chat-about-episode-1/#comment-152
Well, I don’t like sue. Sue on the show, I mean. Talking about all of her businesses and all of her money and how awesome she is. She actually used that term, she described herself as awesome. Pretty awesome actually
Not crazy about her, but in her defense, she is self made. From what she said, she was from humble beginnings.
Joy, where in the Prairies are you located. I’m in Saskatoon.
I’m in Camrose, Alberta. Brent, did you get the cold temps and generous snowfall that’s been blowing through this week?
Hi Everyone. I’m filled with sorrow about Jackie and grateful at the same time that Joy has invited us into her space. This is the first season I’m not watching the show because I don’t have cable, CBS or Paramount, so I’m here for the fellowship.
Michelle from Indiana, it’s because of this comment that I decided that it’s worth it, even though I’m late writing it, to write and post a play by play of the show every week. You’ll be able to read it and get a feel for what’s going on, and others can refer back to it if we need a refresher about what happened before.
Hi Michelle, so glad you are here. <3
Glad your here too Michelle…
Hi everyone!
It’s nice to see so many checking in to say Hi and join in on the new Survivor.
I was in the normal chat. Thank you, Joy!! Appreciate it so much!!
Joy,
I’ve been thinking about that “Thank you and goodbye” post that you briefly saw on Jackie’s blog on January 31st.
So many times, Jackie had mentioned her health, how very tired she was, and the additional financial issues. The past year, it had become especially difficult for her to stay up so late watching feeds for Big Brother.
We can’t know, but considering Jackie passed shortly after that brief post, I can’t help wonder…. was the combination of issues finally forcing her to discontine the blog… but maybe finding it difficult to let us know.
Sharon N, last night I posted my screenshot of that last post in the page above this comment, near the bottom. It feels weird posting it, cuz for whatever reason someone had decided to erase it from Jackie’s blog. Still, to me it has the feel of reading an obituary, or visiting the grave of a famous person. I hope you find it helpful when you find it.
Joy, thank you for posting that screenshot of Jackie’s las post on her Blogt.
All of Jackie’s followers have been aware that her life was becoming more difficult, but it’s still sad to know her last few weeks were so agonizing. For Jackie’s sake, I take comfort in knowing she’s finally at peace.
I agree Sharon N…. I am so sad with her passing, but so glad she is at peace and no longer suffering….
Thank you, Joy Ellen for sharing your blog with Jackie’s group. It’s still so hard to wrap my head around the fact that she’s gone. Especially now that Survivor has started.
I was one of the lucky ones that had the chance to get to know Jackie personally. She joined a group of us a couple of times on vacation. We celebrated her birthday in Outer Banks by presenting her with her very own HOH key, and decked out her HOH room with photos and goodies. True to form, she was witty and went no place without her camera. She’d get up early, head to the beach to look for shells, and shoot ghost crabs as they pulled the crackers she fed them into their holes. My life was made better by being part of Jackie’s BB family, and I will be forever grateful for her.
Thank you for telling us that this was here Elaine! I had been trying to remember what your handle was! oxo
Hi PDX Granny, I love your story about a group of you and Jackie taking vacation together a few times, you guys giving her and HOH key and room, it sounds like you all had great times together! Gosh, it’s sad when a member of one’s pack passes on. I’m real sorry for your loss. And I’m real glad she brought so many people together. What a lady! I’m glad you found this page so the conversations and friendships can continue.
Thank you so much Joy for setting this up. I think Jackie would be astonished at the imprint she made, and happy that such an effort would be made to continue this. I really appreciate it. And to everyone here who has come over! Love, Sydney from back in the day!
Hi Sydney! Thank you so much for saying that. I’m happy to no longer be just a lurker in Jackie’s group.
I just found out about Jackie’s passing via her blog, and feel like the wind was just knocked out of me. Like several other folks, for many many years I was a silent participant here, but I still felt like Jackie was a friend and you all kind of an extended family. I’ve loved reading all the comments here, and particularly the personal remembrances of her. It says a lot about Jackie that so many wanted to continue what she started, and deep thanks to SueGee for keeping the family together here.
If you are starting a blog pool, please include Skyriverblue. I’ll see all of you in the episode comments, and try to actually chime in from time to time.
I’ll add you to the list, skyriverblue.
So sorry for what you’ve lost with Jackie’s passing.
Joy, please toss me in the pool as soon as SueGee is able to fill it up. I’m more than willing to wait until she gets water in it. I’d much rather splash in than splat! I’ll have my floaties, and maybe a big pitcher of margaritas to share. 🙂
Thanks, again for setting up the chat here on your blog. It’s comforting to come together with others that cared so much for Jackie. Like any celebration of life, we’re all grieving and being able to share the grief, as well as the happy memories, helps.
Also, thanks to SueGee for continuing the pool.
You bet, PDX Granny, AKA Elaine, you’re already on the list for SueGee. As soon as she’s able to make it for us, we’ll all be splashing instead of splatting!
You’re right, it’s very nice to grieve together. Everyone from lurkers to friends are gathered here to grieve Jackie together and also to enjoy Survivor together.
Thanks Joy for keeping the pool list. I will create a pool once I get back home…My son had back surgery last week and he is healing really well. I have another week here in Iowa and then I’ll head back to the left coast!
Love you all
SueGee
Oh, SueGee, I’m happy to hear he is healing well!
Love you too SueGee! I pray your son heals fast and well..
I used to set up the teams for Jackie back in the day. It was fun but when I quit watching, I eventually asked Jackie to find someone else. I’m glad the show and comments will go on for all of us who enjoyed her weekly narrative.
I am also part of the group who met up at various places over the years. So glad we could all become friends and share our lives with each other. It was a good group of women.
I don’t watch the show, but I still enjoy reading comments and seeing familiar names.
We are all connected in the grief of losing such a wonderful woman. We will come to terms with it and move on with good memories. It will take time. Be gentle with yourself.
Hi Laurie, Welcome to the new location of your group! I’m sorry for your loss of Jackie, she is missed but I see she meant even more to you than she did to a lot of us lurkers. I’ve added you to the list for the blog pool SueGee will be making for us, I hope that’s OK.
I can’t help but think of Jackie now and again since she has left this earth. I followed her blog for many years, and enjoyed her show blogs as well as all the personal tales she told. So glad I checked in on her blog today and found the link to get me here. Looking forward to chatting with all those fans of the shows and hers.
Hi Mindy, I’ll add you to the list for SueGee’s blog pool. You’ll find familiar friends and names here on Wednesday night. Take care!
I miss our Jackie group… She and you all had become my family over the many years! Thank you so VERY much for doing this site… I have been a little lost and now I feel I’m back home. Thank you to Petals for sharing this link with me. Thank you you Joy for this site. Thank you SueGee for all your Pool Spashing gathering and upkeep. I have truly missed all of you. I think Jackie would be proud of us for finding each other again and gathering here… honoring her memory. I am grateful to all of you. Please add me for the Splashing Joy and SueGee… I’m home and happy again…
Hi Judi! Welcome to your new home for Jackie’s group. Jackie was one of a kind and the people she pulled together create a one of a kind group! I will add you to SueGee’s pool list right now!
Thank you Joy!!! I have a new home and this makes me very happy!
I’ll be coming here for expert analysis. May Jackie’s memory be a blessing. You can find my blog at mvbarer.blogspot.com It turns 19 this May.
Welcome Mike. I’ve added you to the list for SueGee’s blog pool.
Thank you so much.
I just found out today about Jackie today. This is sad news. Please add me to the list. I had wondered where everyone was and why Jackie had not made Survivor Posts.
Hi Glenn, welcome. Sorry for your loss. I’ll add you to SueGee’s pool list.
♡
Thank You Joy!
I understand how you feel. I was wondering the same thing and didn’t find out until a couple weeks ago about Jackie’s passing. I didn’t know how to find everyone until Petals helped me find Joy’s wonderful gathering!
