S40.E02: It's Like a Survivor Economy LIVE CHAT

One castaway is out for blood after realizing their closest ally was sent to the Edge of Extinction. Another castaway must dig themselves out after letting information slip.

You asked for it.  Here it is.  This is a special season so we'll keep it going.  This thread will close at the conclusion of the episode. 

[LadyChatts]

Thanks so much for doing another live chat!

[CletusMusashi]

No, I'm pretty sure it was not Sandra.

[Daisy]

Thanks so much for the live chat!
also cookies for everyone

Parv + Rob being friends are weird.

[LadyChatts]

I do feel sorry for Amber.  She really didn't have a chance with Rob in the game.  He was always going to have a target no matter what.  She might have lasted had it not been for him.

Rob gets his token, so he assumes it was from Amber.  I would have liked to have seen his reaction at the challenge.  A big difference from when Amber walked into that challenge during AS after being saved by Lex the terrible.

[Lady Calypso]

Denise, I appreciate that you found an immunity idol, but finding it around Ben probably means that everyone will know by next Tribal.

[LadyChatts]

If he only knew that she was complaining about him lying to her about coming back out during S39.

Denise strikes first idol blood.  

[Daisy]

Why? why are people telling other people about the idols?  COME. ON. 

[Lady Calypso]

....I already like Ben, but I LOVE Adam's skeptic face when he found out that Ben knew about Denise's idol. 

And also, Adam being perplexed at the idol going to Parvati shoots him up in my favourites list.

[LadyChatts]

I was actually pretty surprised that he suggested giving it to someone to draw them in, and not immediately assuming he was getting the other half.

I hate to say I'm agreeing with Adam here on the idol logic.

[cleo]

Man Adam is weaselly. 

[LadyChatts]

Even Adam realizes Ben is a wild card (I'm going to assume he means a big mouth), and is reluctant to play with him.

Yul!  

[Daisy]

oohoo  Yul Bob Ross. 
I missed that. 

all i want is another "Why Elephants Can't Climb Trees" moment. 

[Lamb18]

Like Sandra would leave her fire tokens to Rob.

So Ben is training Denise how to find an idol--and she found one. I like Denise, why is she allying with Ben and Adam? 

Denise, don't give Parvati the idol half! Adam's not that great a choice either.

[Lady Calypso]

It's interesting to see Kim have to play from the bottom, when she was at the top for her entire season. Granted, she was playing against idiots in One World and here, she's playing against great players so...

[LadyChatts]

I'm just not a fan of Kim.  We'll see if that changes.  And now she's out idol hunting.  She's listening to the little voices to tell her where to go.

I'm calling BS on Kim and Denise finding the idol at the same time, especially since one half has to be given to someone at sundown.

[Pepper the Cat]

These idols are awfully easy to find

[Lamb18]

So did they hide 10 idols? Everyone gets a half?

[Daisy]

LOL Sophie. i love you. 

Was Kim this dumb before? I don't think so. 

[LadyChatts]

Kim gives her half to Sophie, thinking she's a good person to work with.  Sophie says she can't believe Kim told her about it.  We'll see if Denise and Kim regret their decisions.  What did Denise say to Adam, to give the half back if she needed it?

yeah Denise said that. like. need it for what? you realised you couldn't trust adam?

these people are so rushy.

I’m sure that’s coming up! 

[LadyChatts]

I'm guessing she gave it to Adam because those two were on the bottom the last time, but got spared, so she feels like she can trust him.  Yet, this probably isn't the best way to say you aren't working together.  And giving it to Parvati?  Is she nuts?  

[CletusMusashi]

Coming up: 

Jeff: So for this challenge you take a bag of balls of wave your balls around at all the other balls, and the winning team blah blah balls blah blah... worth playin' for?

Absolutely Everyone: No thanks. That challenge sounds like it might take half an hour, and if we spend that same time looking for immunity idols we can probably find twenty or thirty of them.

 

[LadyChatts]

So did it say how this idol works?  That you need both parts to be safe?  

I think they should save the bulk of EOE footage for CBS All Access or something.

[Lady Calypso]

Natalie leaving the advantage to Jeremy, which isn't a surprise.

that would kinda be sucky because Canadians don't get that. 

(but i still don't like this EOE thing anyway). 

[LadyChatts]

And everyone gets an idol and advantage this episode!  Even Natalie-she gets a safety without power advantage.  She gifts it to Jeremy (of course), who can give up one token to leave TC and not be voted out-but also not be able to participate in the vote.

He's actually debating what he wants to do.  I think it's possible this could be a bigger target on his back.

Edited February 20, 2020 by LadyChatts

[Lamb18]

So Jeremy has a little angel on his shoulder called Natalie.

[Lady Calypso]

That moment when the episode so far has only been about advantages and we're 20 minutes in.

[LadyChatts]

Tony's getting restless.  He built a ladder and thinks it's going to be a simple process to climb it to get food from the trees.  Sophie says it's no ladder.  I'm liking the reactions to Tony's workplace hazard.

I forgot Wendell was out here.

[Daisy]

Tyson speaks the truth. 

that thing is a death trap

[LadyChatts]

I know Tony's polarizing, but that was pretty entertaining.  I really like the red tribe.  They seem more fun.

which is smart.
if they know Natalie is giving him stuff vote him out and deal with it. 

[Lamb18]

How can they even climb it? The rungs are so far apart!

Hi Sarah!

[cooksdelight]

For some reason, I cannot get into this season. So much “back when I played in ....” and all these various idols and other stuff. Takes the fun out of it, for me.

I didn’t recognize Denise.

I switched the channel to Catfish, I’ll check back to see who got the boot. Maybe.

[healthnut]

I’m here for Cops R Us 2.0

[CletusMusashi]

Please. Enough with the Cops R Us schtick. An alliance of two does not get a name. If Earl and Yau Man didn't get a name, neither do Tony and Sara. I did enjoy watching that ladder silliness though.

[LadyChatts]

I wonder if Sarah is secretly hoping to take Tony out, or if she really wants to work with him for the long haul.

I wonder if Jeremy is in any real danger of getting voted off.  

Rob sees his beloved is gone.  He looks like he's a mix of on the verge of tears and ready to kill.  That was a tense minute.

Edited February 20, 2020 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

If looks could kill....Rob could have killed everyone on the other tribe.

[Daisy]

That's how it should have been 16 years ago. 

[LadyChatts]

Something else I wish they had gone old school on were the rewards.  Where's the one candy bar, one blanket, and one can of mystery food.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh I didn't realize we were doing a live again this week. Thought that was only for the season premiere. The EoE moment is exactly why I thought some were exaggerating how much Amber could do for Rob from there.

Obviously she could, as we see Natalie doing for Jeremy. But the thing is, as we saw, she has to compete against someone else to get them. So no guarantee she even gets these advantages to be able to send them over to Rob. 

Going back earlier, as much as Adam's dramatic reactions annoy me, I was with his WTF when Denise suggesting giving her half of the idol to Parvati. Like girl what? Parvati has no relationship with you and is a player who has shown in the past that she's a viper who will slit anyone's throat. Why would you give her that kind of power?

[Lamb18]

Rob threatens Vengeance under his breath and the trombones of destruction wail chaotically in the background. Bolts of lightning flash from his eyes and steam pours out of his ears.

This. Granted the editors may have played it up for effect but I was like "dang...awkward"

I think that sums up Lex's reaction when Rob betrayed him during AS.  He's probably thinking this is long awaited karma for him being an idiot helping a friend.

Seriously I love Tony.

LOL but Lex's was so much better, because he was so incredibly dumb.

[LadyChatts]

I feel like Rob doesn't care.  He doesn't even seem to be tryng.

[Lady Calypso]

What...is Rob doing? Is he trying to go to Tribal? 

[marys1000]

And thats why you dont vote off the strong first that stuff loiked heavy
