With the old-school players living on Edge of Extinction, it’s merge time for the new-school castaways

 

Original airdate 4/1/20

Here is your live chat discussion

[LadyChatts]

Hello everyone!

While I have people I'd rather see go over others (looking at you, Wendell), with all of my favorites on EOE, I can also say I don't really care who goes tonight.

[Lady Calypso]

And we're jumping right into the EOE return battleback.

[LadyChatts]

Hey Danni and Natalie, nice seeing you again!

Of course Amber gave Rob her fire token.

[Lantern7]

Anyone else recording The Challenge now?

[LadyChatts]

I kind of wish they weren't merging this week, because I wanted to see Wendell totally blow another IC and get voted off, and literally have nothing to do about it.

Don't need to rub it in about the old school players, Adam.

[Lady Calypso]

And they're all merged.

And they find out about the challenge.

[CletusMusashi]

Please no Very Special Doo Rag Moment this year, please.

[Lantern7]

"Sandra opted out of the game. Denise, I hope you're happy!"

[LadyChatts]

Wendell already looks pissy.

No one seems surprised by the news of Sandra leaving.

[Lamb18]

When I saw Rob's buff covering his face, my first thought was he's worried about COVID 19.

[Lantern7]

Tyson reproduced. Honestly, what the FUCK?!?

Big question: does EoE still operate after this?

[Lady Calypso]

Of course we need to hear from Rob.

Hey, Jeff, maybe ask Amber this question? No? Ok. 

[CletusMusashi]

God damn it, Tyson. Please no Very Special Douchebag Moment either.

[EllenB]

Ugh, how many times do we have to see Rahb and Ambuh smooch and remind us they're playing as one person? Bleah.

[LadyChatts]

Rob is speaking up for his lady love, and the old school players.

[Daisy]

Jeff stop making this a thing. 
let's just get to the challenge.

I don't know why we're pretending Amber has any interest in getting back in this game. Amber is there solely to support Rob and root for him to win. 

[Straycat80]

Oh forget the sob stories and get on with the challenge. 

[Growsonwalls]

This sad piano music gets on my nerves.

Nah, he only addresses Amber to tell her how old she's gotten.

I felt like he was trying to create tears with that dramatic pause, and it wasn't working for him.

Come on anybody but Tyson!

[Daisy]

is this a puzzle?!

JUDGES?!!

Judges vote: YES


STOP. WITH. PUZZLES. ALREADY.

[Lantern7]

Do you think there's an industry based on companies reverse-engineering challenges? Like, maybe people want to get the ball to the hole in the snake's head?

[Growsonwalls]

Amber and Rob seem to have one of those relationships where she let's him do his thing and it works. 

[Lamb18]

I don't care who wins this challenge but I do have a soft spot for Natalie.

[Lantern7]

How many tokens did Natalie earn? She should have started on the damn snake.

[LadyChatts]

Since when did all those people get advantages?  Saved fire tokens?

[Daisy]

Jeff. I would give anything for you to  shut. your. mouth. 

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, everyone clapping for Parvati. Although maybe they clapped for all of them and just cut it out.

[Lantern7]

"Will it be long enough and strong enough?" Then everyone pauses to laugh for five minutes.

Rob's in the lead. Yaaaaaaaaay.

[LadyChatts]

I think Jeff just waits for the minute where he can say 'we have a challenge now!'

[Growsonwalls]

Parv seems to be a favorite among people still in the game.

[Daisy]

COME ON YUL!

*cheer leading emojis*

[nlkm9]

Something is different tonite . Oh yeah Sandra isn’t there skipping the challenge . Rob and amber get a room 👏

oh i love yul

[Daisy]

Actually no, they suffered on EoE because they were voted out. 

[Lady Calypso]

I would absolutely love to see Tyson and Rob both drop right now.

[Lantern7]

Tyson vs. Rob. No shots of Probst's shorts.

[Lamb18]

Drop it, Tyson!

[LadyChatts]

All the freaking people on EOE, and the one person I didn't want to see come back comes back.

Please let him get blindsided out of the game again while thinking he's in control.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh...damn, Tyson wins.

The last person I wanted back in.

[PaperTree]

Ugh!  Vote Tyson right back out tonight.

[Daisy]

wait? another shot in the game?
what? how? why?.

I don't think I've ever rooted for Boston Rob so hard in my entire time of watching this series.

And they get to merge at the crappy Sele beach.

[Lamb18]

Boo, Tyson's back in.

[Lantern7]

The guy that bought peanut butter won.

Fuck.

[CletusMusashi]

Well, I can't say he didn't earn it. Lots of good performances there, but he beat them.

Still... I'm so tired of these "paint by numbers" challenges. They used to be unique and tied to the locale...

[Babalu]

I wonder if he’ll get immunity like Rick did for the first TC when he came back from EoE.

[EllenB]

I don't mind Tyson, and I'm REALLY glad he beat Rahb.  Why do people dislike Tyson, anyway?

[Straycat80]

no one seemed happy that Tyson won. I know I wasn’t.
