LIVE CHAT thread.

[Lantern7]

Reminder: TWO hours tonight! If it’ll make the end come sooner, I’m all for it.

[LadyChatts]

Can't believe this is over in a week, and we don't even know when we'll be getting another season (still crossing my fingers they figure something out for fall, but hopefully spring).

[vb68]

I'm not sure who I'm rooting for at this point. I know that I don't want Tony or Ben.

[Lantern7]

Cue the frogs. “Bud” “Weiss” “IMMUNITY!”

[LadyChatts]

People know that was Michele's advantage?

I like Michele's analogy for her game-she took a butter knife to a gun fight.

[vb68]

Yeah, that wasn't smart Michelle. 

[LadyChatts]

I'd also like to know why Jeremy is such a target over everyone else left.  

[Lady Calypso]

Well, at least Jeremy gave Michele the advantage back.

[Daisy]

Yes, you did MIchele.

you can't MIchele. 

[Lantern7]

And Jeremy drops the title quote. Bonus: he knows how to use “penultimate.” 🤓👍

I kinda wonder myself.  He doesn't have an unborn baby card to play this time. He hasn't played the greatest game that I can see.  He's likable, sure, but... 

[Lamb18]

Nice frog on the water cover!

Good, he gave the coin back to Michele. 

[LadyChatts]

Denise wants to not be so upset at the game anymore.

 

[Lantern7]

There’s a painting setup? And at least one Bingo card?!? Damn.

Oh, it’s a calendar. Still odd, though.

How bored are Jeremy and Tony?

[wallflower75]

Did Tony stumble into a patch of marijuana on the island and forget how to count days?

And he's not a challenge beast.  I mean, aside from Tony, is anyone really playing a spectacular game?  And I guess I wouldn't say Tony's been spectacular, but better than everyone left. 

So yeah, I'm a little stumped about Jeremy. 

And here's Tony talking about the hyenas coming after the lions again.

[vb68]

Haha. Tony thinks 9 days is two weeks. lol

[Daisy]

lmao
"this is why Police Officers need to go back to school." haha

 

[CletusMusashi]

Having to talk to Tony is work.

[Straycat80]

This conversation between Jeremy and Tony is funny. 

[Lamb18]

Well Jeremy and Denise are getting along OK.

I like Jeremy and Tony's calendar.

I mean, I guess if you forget weekends...then sure, two weeks! LOL.

[LadyChatts]

Does Ben have Twitter?  Since Denise caught flack for how she supposedly treated Jeremy last week, I'm wondering if Ben has caught any of it because of his hatred for Jeremy, which seems puzzling.

[vb68]

I think if Tony blindsides Sarah this time, she literally would kick his ass.

[CletusMusashi]

One advantage to a female winner would be that hyenas are matriarchal, so it would be a nice FU to Tony the Lion.

I heard that he's one of the ones who also deleted his Twitter this season.

[truthaboutluv]

Wow, brilliant Ben. Did Sarah even have to work hard here to manipulate Ben into that Nick vote?

[LadyChatts]

I guess Sarah's plan worked.

If Ben wins with his edit I will be done trying to figure out this game.

[Lady Calypso]

Good move by Sarah here.

But man, why do they want to get Nick out? Denise and Michele have done way more than Nick has!

[Lamb18]

It's nice to see people sitting around being pleasant to each other.

*prays to Survivor gods*. Please don't let that happen.

I dunno. The guy can run. Unlike Forest Gump, it doesn’t have to be in a straight line.

I imagine him imagining the hyenas from The Lion King.

I loved how we went with this dumbfounded look on Ben's face and a sound effect adding in, to him asking Tony if they should blindside Nick.

I was confused as hell listening to "his" plan.  Considering Ben's involved, there's a 50/50 chance he blows it.

[PaperTree]

I so despise Tony.

it reminds me of the old days. this is how you get to know/care about the people.

[CletusMusashi]

I just realized something about Denise that I've been trying to put my finger on for some time now. She's what Seamus, the old sailor from "Family Guy," must have looked like before he lost his arms and legs.

I'm confused by the editing this season.  I feel like if Tony doesn't win (as he's the only one I can see winning with his edit, Sarah in second), then there's going to be a lot coming out at once with whoever the eventual winner is.

[Lamb18]

Ben's voice makes my ears hurt. I suppose he's had vocal chord damage, but please stop the long talking heads!

Dude. HARSH. I mean, better dig than me imagining Ben to be a product of a transporter malfunction involving Colby and Rupert, but still . . . 😜

Seeing Tony and Jeremy with their calendar reminds me of the old days when people brought luxury items, or found ways to amuse themselves at camp.

Twelve minutes in and IC already.

[AncientNewbie]

Any time the plan comes together by 8:10 I’m suspicious of what will happen.

And if Nick wins, he'll have the most under-the-radar edit since Michele.

[Daisy]

immunity so early?!

[Lantern7]

PUZZLE! 🙄🙄🙄

[Lady Calypso]

Wow, it feels extra early for IC already. That means that a lot goes down before/during Tribal. Or they have an extra long Edge segment. 

[Daisy]

PUZZLE?!

Boo, this man!!!
death to the puzzle!

[Lady Calypso]

Anyway, rooting for Nick to screw over Sarah/Tony here.

[Lamb18]

I'm still clinging to hope that Denise wins, but I feel like my fingers are slipping down a rope like an endurance challenge. 

Nick is not pattern coordinated.
