S40.E05: The Buddy System on Steroids LIVE CHAT

[wallflower75]

And this crap right here is why I hope Rob goes home tonight.  Ugh.

[truthaboutluv]

I'm sorry, this is hilarious. Like why are Sophie and Sarah doing this?

[Lamb18]

Hey, Sarah and Sophie can vote out Adam, Ben or Rob! Oh no, the Rob surveillance method. All the women have to do is mention having their periods and the guys will go yuck, shudder!

 

[LadyChatts]

Now Ben is talking about Rob wanting to control the game.  Sarah says that Rob has negative energy.

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Rob's plan may have guaranteed him leaving. 

By not leaving camp at all, it may have cemented his own eviction.

[Lantern7]

I’m betting there will be a LOT of whispering at Tribal Council tonight.

Pavarti’s power increases with women; Rob’s power increases with dummies.

Honestly. I love Rob and all. But this pisses me off. 
get up and go talk to people if you want 

#titlequote goes to Sarah.

[LadyChatts]

I don't know what the point was for Sophie and Sarah to sit in the camp.  What did that matter?  Rob gave them serial killer eyes when they left.

[truthaboutluv]

But I guess this is where we're clearly not seeing everything. Because Sophie is all irate about Rob and how much of an asshole he is but I'm trying to understand why she and Sarah were sitting at the camp like they couldn't leave either.

Because maybe I've missed something but Rob didn't have any convo and alliance with them and orchestrate any buddy system with them. So leave Rob and company hanging around go do you. It's so strange. 

It's like these people resent Rob for his "controlling" behavior but you're the ones giving him that control by doing what he says. Whatever. In any case, I'm pretty sure he's getting eliminated so whatever.

[LadyChatts]

Adam probably wants Rob gone so he can try to take control again, even though he failed miserably at that before.  

I'd love it if we got an honest to goodness blindside of Adam or Ben, but it's looking like Rob or one of the girls.

[CletusMusashi]

I like having the smaller tribes this early in the season. Much easier to keep track of dynamics.

And, um, Rob? Sharpening a machete while you intimidate your "allies" might be a little too on the nose.

They should have both gotten up, walked to the beach, then circle around behind the guys and listen.

[susannot]

Sarah and Sophie are not going along with the Rob gulag camp, no way.

 

[Lantern7]

One possible reason for the lack of EoE: Tyson’s final line last week was good enough to hold us over.

He probably laughs like one. And don’t lions set up shacks to spy on their prey?

Ben or Adam! Ben or Adam! (Cross fingers)

THIS!  I can see why Adam and Ben might hesitate to take off--if they do, indicating that they might not be buying into Rob's strategy, then Rob takes the opportunity to talk to Sophie and Sarah and who knows what might happen.  But for heaven's sake, if you're bored senseless and you know what Rob's doing, why go along with it??

And here we go...

[EllenB]

See, this is why I think Rob is a bully.  It's subtle, but that crap of "here is MY rule that you have to obey" is a type of bullying.  It brings a giant FU out of every pore of mine.

[Lantern7]

Stupid question: does anyone think that Rob relies on stereotypes so he can come off more threatening than he is? Like he’d leave a horse’s head in another player’s sleeping area if he thought that he can get with it. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[CletusMusashi]

The girls should have just left camp and went looking for the other one hundred and twelve idols that are probably out there.

[Daisy]

8:50 - means no dramanigans .

Truthfully, I'm surprised more people haven't done the whole "we're sticking around camp or else you aren't trustworthy."

I think Ben was talking about Rob there.

[Lady Calypso]

Well, Adam...some are very, very good at the game...

So I'm not the only one who looks at the clock when TC starts to see if something good is going to happen.  

[Lamb18]

So is "fluidity" the new "voting blocks" ?

[CletusMusashi]

Were they pooping in buckets?

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Sophie calling Jeff OUT!

[Lantern7]

“Fah ged about it! I made the boys an offer they couldn’t refuse!”

[LadyChatts]

This tribe doe look pretty miserable.  

Adam and Ben may be making a big mistake if they vote Rob out.  They don't know Sarah and Sophie have the idol and advantage, so that could give the girls a leg up at the next TC if the guys don't want to split.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh get on with it already

I missed that part. How so?

[Straycat80]

Use the idol and advantage girls! 

[truthaboutluv]

Well Rob's point about sticking together is true Sophie, since that's how you won your season.

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, Lantern7 said:

Well, his use of one of his favourite words "crack/wedge". Which I appreciate, by the way. I think that word is used way too often and sometimes doesn't fit the situation. 

[wallflower75]

Do you suppose Adam was looking for an idol just then?

[LadyChatts]

I feel like Adam should have a technical difficulties sign following him this season.

hehhe nope. i always always look. 

Whoa. Sophie didn't play 
did she play her steal a vote?

[LadyChatts]

Well, that was boring.  I happen to like Rob, so I'm sorry he's gone.  Hopefully Adam and Ben actually think they are calling the shots and made a big resume move next week, only to get owned by the girls.

[Lantern7]

BLAM!!!!

Sadly, that means all four ex-Racers have been voted out. Even with EoE in play, that’s depressing.

[Straycat80]

Bye Rob! He’ll be happy to be reunited with Ambuh at least. 

[Daisy]

Okay. a part of me. is sad. I wanted Rob to be on Jury

but. GOOD.  bye Rob. 

[Lady Calypso]

Well, bye Rob!

To be fair, even if this may not be a great move for Adam or Ben, I think it was Rob's time to go. The longer you keep him in the game, the more dangerous he can become.

Plus, I'm still rooting for Sophie and Sarah going would have been potentially bad for her game.

[Lantern7]

Somewhere, Lex is half-dead after busting a nut so hard.

[vb68]

Rob has always been overrated as a player.

Why did they build a statue of him again?

[susannot]

Sophie and Sarah.  Super badasses!!!

[Lamb18]

There goes Rob! Now he and Amber will run into each other's arms at Exile Island.

It's not even about liking Rob. It was just anti-climatic. There wasn't even some exciting blindside and game play. A blind person saw this coming as soon as the tribe lost immunity.

Rob had no idol and no way to save himself and let's face it, none of the people on that tribe actually liked him. 

[EllenB]

Bwahahaha!  I'm not the only one who threw an FU in Rahb's direction.

If the Edge of Extinction plays out like it did a year ago, everyone from the E of E who doesn't quite makes the jury.

[vb68]

Badass of Sarah and Sophie not to use either advantage.
