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

[LadyChatts]

This episode is like something out of the Twilight Zone.

Rob is calling Ben out for calling them out.  And Ben proves he has no point except everyone is paranoid.

[Daisy]

ughhh. and the tribal whispers start.
can we stop this? 

[Lamb18]

parvati tosses out targets on Danni and Ethan for the new schoolers. 

[Lady Calypso]

This Tribal is crazy.

[LadyChatts]

And TC whispering is going on.

Come on Ben, spill the beans on something!  Rob is grilling him about the idols.

I'm loving this!

[Pepper the Cat]

What the frack am I watching?
 

[Daisy]

Denise. that was very smart. 
(also. note. hide idols in your boobies,in case a Rob makes you empty your bags lol)

[PaperTree]

Whack a geezer!

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I'm at a loss how this is going to go now.  But I still think it's going to be Danni, sadly.

Jeremy was the smartest one in that tribal - say nothing. Ben is a hot mess. But it'll probably still not be him. 

[Daisy]

If Ethan and Danni were smart  - they'd notice that Parv totally tossed them under the bus, and would ditch.

Really? Kind of think it's Parv.

[Lady Calypso]

Seriously? This all led to a Danni vote-out? 

That's bullcrap.

[festivus]

Okay, that was awesome. Nobody better vote the Robfather out!

[truthaboutluv]

Wow, not to go all feminist on the show but damn, can we get a guy out of here?

I don't even feel bad for you, Danni. you were dumb. Opened your mouth for no reason and just shot your game to hell several ways to sunday badly. 

[LadyChatts]

Not Danni! 😞  That tribe sucks.  I'm not liking this season so far.  All my favorites are getting the boot.

 

[healthnut]

These people are so dumb!

[marys1000]

Vcant believe I havnt heard about the numbers

Seems lazy for the old schoolers not to rope Danni back in and vote out ben

I hope that comes back to bite Jeremy and Michele and all their talk of making a big move.  Same with Denise, Ben, and Adam (sorry, I'm bitter lol)

[MerBearHou]

Glad it was Danni.  She was neither in the old timers and the newbies group.  Plus she bugs me.  I want Rob and Parvati to last as long as they can but they won’t win, that’s for sure.

[PaperTree]

Bad move.  Let Rob go be with his beloved.

Only one of them is coming back.

Parvati is Queen of the Snakes.

Paranoia will get you in this game. Rob, Ethan and Parv looked too cozy without her, so she convinces herself they were coming for her when they were all set on trying to get Ben out. 

[Lamb18]

Aw, it's Danni. Well, she did blow it for herself.

So she left her token to Denise?

[marys1000]

So its 5 to 3 now?

Fing stupid.  How could rob and parv be that stupid?

Edited February 20, 2020 by marys1000

[LadyChatts]

If their logic for keeping Rob was because they are afraid of him, I hope he screws all of them over.  Also, I hope Parvati is responsible for voting Adam out (okay, end rant lol)  Finally we get someone back from Guatemala, and she's gone.

[cleo]

Danni dug her own grave.

Man I dislike Adam.

Jeremy is one to watch.

Ben...just what?

yeah.  - though i also think (personally) it sort of showed where Danni was in that. because I don't get why she was always excluded (as we never saw Danni with them in this episode). but she was waaay too paranoid.

thanks for the live chat. hope we can have one next week!

Yup. And somehow that still doesn't convince me they'll get rid of Rob or Parvati if they go to tribal again. Ben will probably do something stupid again and blow up his game. Of course his being so dumb is probably what will keep him safe because most will see him as a safe shield. 

Personally I hope Sele doesn't lose,  just because I want this to be a season where I see gameplay on both sides, which means I want Decal to lose next week. It'll also keep the numbers even. 

I'd all but forgotten about Michelle until tribal council. I'll say it again, without Rob's presence,  I feel like Michelle is what Amber's game would be like this season. Just quietly getting through tribal councils with no one seeing her as a threat.

I always get the feeling that the reasons given for keeping Rob are never the actual reason they keep Rob.  I think they "believe" their reasons but I think they are trying to justify their instincts.

I think Rob casts a bit of an aura over Survivor.  They don't just want to win the money.  They want some level of fame and the longer it lasts the better.  That works out better for them if the play against or with Rob with some grand scheme to take him out down the line than if they just  him out in the first council.  But a lot of the time, that avoidance of immediate expulsion from the game is all that Rob needs.
