S40.E13: The Penultimate Step of War LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

And why is Denise suddenly feeling like she's on the block and not Nick?  I'm so confused.

Oh wait, she's trying to pretend?

[wallflower75]

And this is why I love Denise.

[Lantern7]

Good plan from Denise. She’d be the least fatigued player on EoE, and I don’t think volunteering to go there would be penalized.

[PaperTree]

Denise is such a disappointment.

[KelseyNikki614]

Please let that confessional about Ben not using his idol be a sign that he goes

[Lady Calypso]

Nick...*sighs*

[wallflower75]

*smacks Nick in the head with a bag of fire tokens* No, you idiot, you're not in the best place in the game.  That was last tribal council, and you screwed it up.

[Lamb18]

Why is Denise doing this kamikaze act? It's like she's putting herself on the scaffold.

[LadyChatts]

"Barring any other surprises" means surprises are coming.

And Ben wants to get the votes swung on Nick.  I think the votes are already swung there.

I don't even know why the charade.  What do they have to lose by telling Nick he's going?

Ooh, Ben just said he won't play his idol tonight because he feels safe.  But Nick says he's a genius and in a good position.  Damn, I got excited for a minute that Ben was uttering the fatal words.  But then Nick had to go and say that.  Now I don't know.

“It all worked out perfectly.  I feel like I’m in the best position I’ve been in in this game”.  Yeah, bye, Nick — that’s what the editors love to do to us.

But oh, I hope it’s Ben.  With an idol in his pocket.

[Lamb18]

I hope the fakeout works.

[CletusMusashi]

Anybody who came into an all-winners game without learning to make fire is... ridiculous.

[wallflower75]

Wait a minute...is Tony actually saying something I want to hear??  Hrmmm...

[Lady Calypso]

Huh. I wonder if Nick can pull this off with Tony.

It sounds like he got him interested in the idea of getting rid of Ben.

At this rate, since Tony's been playing the best game, I'd rather he be at the end than Ben, who I fear could easily slip into F3 if they're not careful. I don't want someone who doesn't deserve to be there and, imo, Ben definitely doesn't deserve to be in F3.

I'd rather see some brilliance and Tony gets voted out. 

[LadyChatts]

And Tony's in the spy tree.  He's hearing Denise say she wants to make a final 3 with Ben and Sarah.  

Bad move Denise.  

[Lantern7]

If I’m there, any conversation I’d have near bushes or trees would start with “Hi, Tony!”

Also, how is Sarah not pulling Ben/Denise away from the Spy Tree? She KNOWS where it is!

[wallflower75]

You know, if I've watched Tony's season, the only time I would talk strategy would be in the water.  Unless he figured out a way to build an underwater spy shack.

[CletusMusashi]

"Whaddaya mean, ya think I'm too sneaky?"

"Wow, that bush sounded just like Tony."

She's with Tony, so she probably doesn't care.  She knows it won't be her (maybe).  

 

[Lamb18]

Now for the extraneous Tony monkeyworks again.

Oh no, Denise is in trouble.

Do they have scuba masks? I can see Tony trying that.

I feel like in future seasons people will be throwing coconuts into the trees and bushes just to see if they hear someone yell "ow!" and then move elsewhere.

[wallflower75]

You know, the last time Sarah believed herself to be the swing vote...she got voted out.  Hmmm....

[Lady Calypso]

...they're ALREADY off to Tribal?

It hasn't even hit the HALF HOUR mark!

[LadyChatts]

Hmm, could Sarah split with Tony and not vote the way he wants?  

No idea how this is going to go.  I hope it's not Nick.  I want Ben to go, but I'd be fine with Denise.

9:25 and they are heading to TC.  We know there's gonna be whispering this time.

[Straycat80]

35 minutes left. This is either going to be a very long TC or something else is going to happen.

Do you think Denise will interrupt the way she did last time?

They might be doing more EoE shtuff, like who returns.

I just checked the Tribal Tracker thread. I think Natalie has 16 tokens now . . . unless there were transactions we didn’t see.

[LadyChatts]

Since Sarah mentioned her and Tony were swing votes, that's also something people utter and end up getting voted off.  Nick and Michele could totally rat out that Tony wanted to vote Denise, and get her on their side.  Especially since Michele said she didn't want her to go.

I just hope it's Ben.

9:30!  And TC is starting.  Clearly they didn't have enough to fill the two hours with.

Didn't Denise say this was the last night they could be used?

[LadyChatts]

"I needed this like you need a blue button down and khakis."  Nice one Michele.

[Lamb18]

Half hour left. That means 15 minutes of whispering. 

[CletusMusashi]

Did Michele say "like you need a blue bun down your khakis?" That can't be right.

Somebody please correct my hearing.

[LadyChatts]

I guarantee fire tokens will be brought back in the future, and probably have a bigger impact on the game in the future.

She said “blue button down and khakis” even though his shirt isn’t button down 😉

 My closest parallel: cigarettes in a prison. The official unofficial currency.

[LadyChatts]

Please vote Ben!  He'd be a smart vote to get out, with an idol in his pocket (which I think Tony only knows about?)  So Tony would know it'd be re-hidden.

I hope so.

And it, at least, adds somewhat of a tick to Nick's resume, as at least they showed him telling Tony about why they should vote out Ben.

[MerBearHou]

I think Michele gets prettier as every Survivor day passes.  Wow, that would not be me!

[Lantern7]

Enough! Either let them vote, or charge Natalie ten tokens to remove someone from contention!

[LadyChatts]

Is Denise just giving up?  Seriously, this is disappointing.  Unless she is faking, she's fallen down my radar of someone who can win.

[wallflower75]

Now THAT would be something I'd love to see!

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Adam calling out Denise's plea as a fake-out.

...yep, there is something going on after this vote out. I guess we'll end on Edge and possibly the start of the buyback.

[PaperTree]

"It's a fakeout, right?"

[CletusMusashi]

Not scrambling is giving up.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, what's going on?  They are voting already.  And no whispering!

[wallflower75]

What, no whisper campaign?? Gee, how disappointing.
