S40.E11: This Is Extortion LIVE CHAT

[festivus]

Quote

One castaway plays double agent and goes undercover to infiltrate a group they want to vote out. One player who has been playing it cool finally goes to work to search for an idol.

 

[Lantern7]

Coming back to a place and time that is a slightly bigger shitshow than what we got. Proportionally, of course.

ETA. I’m too harsh. Now, the last two seasons? Those would apply.

Let's see how badly Jeremy burned himself by leaving the last tribal.

[Lantern7]

The boots. Why the boots, Ben? 

[LadyChatts]

Jeremy's doesn't think it's a good thing for him that Tyson is gone.

No one seems happy that Jeremy left TC.  He made the right decision.  

Ben's a little testy that Jeremy is trying to say he's a bigger target.

I always love how people complain that people are lying.  as if they were truthful. 

Honestly, if it were me, i'd be like "Jeremy if you wanted to know what happened you should have stayed."

[Lady Calypso]

Jeremy, what did you expect? That, when you walked out, that they'd go and target...who, Denise? Or Michele? 

[vb68]

I love how nobody will tell Jeremy what happened.

[LadyChatts]

Why is chaos only a bad thing when it works against you?  

[CletusMusashi]

It seems kind of late in the season to feel secure about a group of five. But I guess that's still a pretty tight group when you bear in mind that absolutely everybody who hasn't quit is still in this stupid game. Including the guy who's been voted off twice.

[Lantern7]

Whuh oh. It’s Tony time! Clear the paths!

[Lady Calypso]

And Tony finally goes to look for idols.

I'm surprised he waited this long. 

[CletusMusashi]

Tony is so loud, you know everybody in the hut can hear his confessionals.

[LadyChatts]

Michele and Kim are worried about being picked off.  Did Kim really think her plan was going to work?

Tony's off looking for an idol before anyone else gets up.  And who shows up?  Nick.

[wallflower75]

Tony: "Nick, you're cramping my style.  I was here first, so buzz off!"  LOL

[Daisy]

Be vewy, vewy qwiet. 
We're hunting idowls. 

[Lady Calypso]

And the Sneaky Nick gag continues.

Honestly, since it was pointed out, I enjoy watching Nick just pop on screen.

Truthfully I think it's more a group of 5 by default.  I don't get the sense that there's any real strong alliance out there, except maybe Tony/Sarah.

[Lantern7]

“Wow! Finally using investigation classes to work!”

[CletusMusashi]

You go, Tony. Grab your little package.

[Straycat80]

I’ll bet the camera men hate Tony. He finds an idol and runs away. 

[LadyChatts]

I wish someone would photo shop Nick into photos from this season, just popping out in random places.  As soon as Tony said he was going out to hunt before anyone else got up, I knew Nick was going to pop up somewhere.  

[Daisy]

i have to wonder truly, if they are told there's an idol hidden. like. you wake up and you decide you want to get one? 

[Growsonwalls]

A lot of ppl think Sarah is funny and pretty? That’s news to me.

[Lantern7]

I would wonder whether “Koru” was one of the original tribe names . . . but that involves caring.

Oh, wow, now I’m watching Project Runway! 😜

This segment is so random. But maybe it's because I'm very used to the season with the focus being on the gameplay and, when they don't have enough of that, they pop over to Edge of Extincton for 10 minutes as filler.

[LadyChatts]

I like getting to see them have fun at camp.  I miss these moments before the show became all about idol hunting, strategizing, and challenges.

On that note, Tony's over the fashion show, he wants to play the game.

[PaperTree]

I want Tony gone with that idol in his pocket.

[Daisy]

Clearly none of these people watched America's Next Top Model. 
too much movement. 
No Smizing.

[EllenB]

"Say hello to my little friend." LOL.  I love Tony.  I'd probably want to kill him if I was around him a lot, though.

[Lantern7]

Was that a hawk? Bird had a serious face.

[LadyChatts]

And he's trying to play undercover cop with the opposing alliance.  He's trying to say he wasn't going to vote Jeremy.  Tony needs better acting lessons, they aren't believing him.

Oh, Tony said he never went undercover in the real world.  Makes sense.

Oh wait, Jeremy did fall for his BS.  

[Lady Calypso]

And Jeremy...believes Tony? Goddamnit, Jeremy.

Thank god Kim realizes that he's playing them.

 

[Daisy]

I love Kim. She's not stupid.

[LadyChatts]

So a Tony alliance vs a Kim alliance showdown?  With two idols on the side of Tony's alliance in play.

I do.  She has a very deadpan humor that cracks me up, and I like the way she looks.

I'm thinking Jeremy is at the "anybody but me" phase since he's not in control.  If it saves him, even if he doesn't get the vote to go the way he wants, I'm sure he'll believe anything Tony tells him.

[Straycat80]

Tony playing both sides of the fence, why not.

in my opinion - it's why the first 22 seasons are more memorable (with a few of the later seasons) - than anything else. I know a lot ofpeople would say because of the era, height of reality teevee. but you had all of these moments that really knitted a season together

 

now it's all "PUZZLES! IDOLS!! WHISPERS!! oh ad they're gone now."

I just want anyone gone. It's the eleventh episode and nobody has actually been kicked out of the game yet. Do they all get a a million "participation dollars" too?

[LadyChatts]

I don't think Kim's side of the aisle, so I wouldn't mind if they got picked off by Tony.

 

[Lady Calypso]

And...we're back on Edge.

And....getting a weird Tyson voiceover, as if he's in a PSA, and Adam is staring at the sails. 

Okayyyyyyyy then.

[Daisy]

Is he talking about Lex? LOL
Oh Adam

[Lantern7]

Natalie still getting breaks. And Parvati has statistics.

[Paws]

I said To my kids that even though I didnt Like Tony, he totally deserved to win his original season because of how hard he worked to win. If he wins this season, being sooooooo patient and not looking for idols this whole time until now, he will have totally deserved it. 

[Growsonwalls]

Parvati and Natalie is something I can get behind. 

[LadyChatts]

Ooh, that's a good advantage.  

Well, good for the person it doesn't go against.

Are they going to give it to Tony?

Edited April 23, 2020 by LadyChatts

[Lantern7]

“Extortion Advantage”! Wow. Go big or go home, Survivor!

[Lamb18]

Adam's got that Bohemian starving artist look going. He is so disconsolate.

[Lady Calypso]

Not a bad advantage at all. I actually think it's great.
