S40.E14: It All Boils Down to This LIVE CHAT

[KelseyNikki614]

So Tony and Sarah are making fire, right?

[Lamb18]

Hurray! Looks like a Sarah and Tony fire-making challenge.

[LadyChatts]

Sarah's out.  Guess it'll be her and Tony going to fire.  At least Tony anyway.

I wonder if that move actually ruined Sarah's chances at F3 more.  If Michele was gone, and Natalie won final immunity, she might have taken Sarah over Ben or Tony.

And if Ben was still here and won, Sarah could have channeled the person she was in S28 and 34 and guilt him into taking her to the final 3.

And Natalie wins final immunity.

Obviously, no matter which one wins, needs to take the other to F3 and make Tony and Sarah fight it out in the fire challenge. 

[mojoween]

Natalie with the fast hands!  Be still my heart.

[truthaboutluv]

I told ya'll she'd make the Final 3. And did it winning the final immunity just like Chris did. 

[KelseyNikki614]

So based on Jeff's stats, Natalie is going to win now? I have my doubts

[wallflower75]

Does Sarah know how to make fire?  We all know how good Tony is at it. *sigh*

[Lantern7]

Natalie Anderson: the Tim Howard of carny game ball saving.

She wins, right? I mean, stigma of EoE, but she’s gotta the the favorite now.

And we’ll have at least two women on Day 39!

[Lady Calypso]

And...there we go! Natalie wins immunity!

I'm guessing she takes Michele so that Tony/Sarah have to make fire.

Which also means that Michele still hasn't been voted out of Survivor. She holds that record with Sandra, I believe, since Sandra's first two times led to her win. Let's see if the same is true for Michele.

 

[PaperTree]

Cry me a river, Tony!

 

LOLOLOL

[LadyChatts]

I really hope they don't do the EOE twist again, and if they do, they don't bring people back this late in the game.  And I love Natalie, but I don't want her to win.

[susannot]

Natalie!!

[nutty1]

Natalie is a great player but I don’t think someone voted out on day 1 should win. She never had to fight to stay in the game. 

[violet and green]

I only care about Tony, so this sucks so hard...

All they had to do was listen to him and grasp Natalie might have had an idol. Fuckwits.

Normally, I’d agree, but I’m in the bag for her. And it’s not like she was painting her nails every day on EoE.

One thing: I think Chris clinched his win when he gave up immunity and beat Deven at fire-making. That took cajones.

[truthaboutluv]

It'll be interesting if we're left with a Final 3 of Michele, Natalie and Sarah. Because most felt Sarah was pretty much Tony's side kick the whole game, Natalie was voted out first and Michele is, well Michele. 

But man, I said it when they shoved that random scene of her and Rob talking into the episode, that if she won this thing, the reactions would hilarious.

TPTB set this up, so I hope she wins.

"Reem's Revenge!"

Also not voted out in their first two seasons: Russel and Amanda. though, obviously, neither won

Yeah, this is my problem with the edge.  They may be living on an island, but they aren't experiencing the same challenges, hardships, or decisions those in the game are.  They are being able to save their energy, eat, and bond with the jury.  Natalie has done nothing in this game but play two idols and win immunity.  Tony can say the same, and more.  So can Michele.

[Lady Calypso]

Right, I also forgot about them, but extremely good point. Michele could fall in that category.

[wallflower75]

So based on what Natalie said when she got back into the game, Tony's going to win. I don't see a jury made up of all winners giving Natalie the win when she wasn't in the actual game since day three.  And if it comes down to Tony and Michele, well, look who's been more visible.

*sigh* I didn't like Tony his first or second time around, and while he's had moments that he's been okay this time...I dunno.  I wish I felt better about this.

I still think that was random, just to show Michele's journey.  I'm sure if they were having a reunion they'd be talking about it.  That said, I won't be too disappointed if she wins.  Tony's my #1, and Michele's my #2.  I don't want the other two winning.

[Lantern7]

Another thing: having someone win from EoE today seems better than in S38. Seriously, did we even know Chris when he came back?

[Growsonwalls]

I like the fact that Michelle is practicing making fire. 

[Josh371982]

Shallow post time : Michelle is easily one of my hottest winners ever 

[vb68]

So the question is do Tony or Sarah have the votes whichever one wins fire?

I'm afraid  the answer is probably yes.

Edited May 14, 2020 by vb68

[LadyChatts]

Well, at least Michele is being a sport and practicing fire, too.  I'd be shocked, though, if Natalie sent her to fire and took Sarah or Tony.

[MerBearHou]

Survivor Pet Peeve for me since Season One:  the close-ups of the bugs.  Yuck!

[Lamb18]

Sarah's not good at fire!

Shes very pretty and she's one of those women that only gets prettier the more time she spends on Survivor. 

[Lady Calypso]

I mean....Michele WOULD benefit from going to fire, because she needs a really strong mark on her resume, and beating Tony is the best thing for her right now.

But I get why she wouldn't want to be picked.

Better than when they had to eat bugs!!

[Lantern7]

Too bad there can’t be a three-way tie on Day 39. Sandra could have been brought back as the tiebreaker.

[LadyChatts]

Natalie doesn't want Sarah beating Tony because it will give her cred.  

Wow, Natalie might surprise me here.

[truthaboutluv]

I hope Natalie makes her decision in the same manner Nutty Noura did last season. 

[LadyChatts]

Sarah wants to get picked.  She doesn't think Tony's in the right place to make fire.  

He and Sarah suck at this.

[Lantern7]

“Um, Ben? Honey? WTF with the shaving?”

[Lady Calypso]

Aww, poor Sophie 😞 

[Lamb18]

It is funny seeing them practice their arson skills.

Oh yeah ! And of course at risk of pervision I notice her walking around in her underwear 

[DEL901]

I wonder if Nat keeps Tony and lets Michelle and Sarah battle?

He and Sarah suck at this.

The fact that she's SO confident about beating Tony? After how confident she was about Natalie NOT having an idol? It leans toward her losing badly to Tony in fire.

He was hot when he started and hot when he ended.

Oh no.  Sophie has the ‘rona, even back then.
 

[LadyChatts]

Aww, I hope Sophie is okay 😞

And Ben-stick to your regular hat.

[Lamb18]

Danni looks like a Real Housewife.

...that...you know, that SOUNDS like a good move because she takes away a point on Tony's resume.

But....she has said that the jury is pro-Tony so she'd likely be handing Tony the win. It's too risky to just bring him since he has a great resume already.

[Lantern7]

Tony could win. He could rub his fingers together and get sparks. Granted, he’d wear his skin down to the bone, but he’d be intense enough to pull it off.
