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

[Straycat80]

I wish they didn’t have idols this late in the game. And Natalie finds one. 

[truthaboutluv]

Call me a cynic but I think that whole speech by Sarah was jury management because she's realizing she may have made herself second to Tony. 

Damn, Natalie finds the idol. Yup, she's going to make her way to F3 a la Chris. Don't know if she'll win but I think she'll make it. 

[Lady Calypso]

...yes, Ben. Because you not finding an idol means that one of the girls found an idol.

It couldn't be because you just sucked enough to not find an idol, right?

[LadyChatts]

So as long as Michele wins immunity, Ben/Tony/Sarah are screwed.  Especially Tony.

Hey, Ben just agreed with me.

And Tony burns the forest down while searching for an idol.

I think Christian calls that “Plan D.”

[mojoween]

I don’t care if Natalie woke up with that idol tied to her hair.  A better person could not have found it.

[Lamb18]

And Natalie finds it! Or one of them!

I'd rather Penner do it. I bet he's keep Tribal Council in order.

I've been wanting Penner and Cirie together as narrators for YEARS.

No, I was thinking the same thing.  She knows she may not have a chance to get it all out during the jury q&a, and will probably get grilled as to what she did that wasn't Tony's move.  I'll give her credit I guess, although I don't know if it'll work.

[nutty1]

I always thought the 6 to 5 tribal council was the last tine to play an idol. Guess not.

Probst probably made sure to help Tony and his 2 idiots out at F5.

Couldn’t Sandra be involved? I’m still sore she was never on the same tribe as Cirie.

[susannot]

OMG.  Editing is pointing to girl power starting with Jeffy admitting to being a sexist asshole.

[vb68]

Please let Michele or Natalie win immunity!!!

And we've heard nothing from Denise this first hour, and barely anything from Ben besides showing what a bonehead he is.

OK, I've got to ask.. what else from Ben would we hear?

[Lamb18]

That looks like Stephanie Izard in the heart commercial.

Wrong! LOL I'd rather Michelle had it but at least her and Nat are working together

Nah F5 has been the last chance to play an idol the whole time 

[LadyChatts]

IC time.  If Michele wins immunity, Ben/Tony/Sarah are screwed.  I don't see how Tony can survive the vote.

[Lantern7]

“It ends on a carny game! Hooray, carny game!”

Sandra is surprisingly dull off the show. She seems a lot mellower but she actually doesn't have that much to say off the show. Kind of odd.

[LadyChatts]

And if Natalie wins immunity, then those 3 are still screwed, because Nat will play her idol on Michele.

But who knows, they may be doing the dirty work of getting rid of Tony, and then Sarah and Ben can plead loyalty.

Flush his damn idol out! 

They did. Natalie and Michele just didn't know Ben had an idol as well and so they put the votes on him. But he played it anyway, so they succeeded in flushing out both idols. 

[Lantern7]

Ben has a decent long jump into the water.

Oh I bet he does. He shouldn't but these people haven't put down his yet and have had 3 chances 

[Lamb18]

Go Michele!

Not sure how good Michele is throwing, but I bet Natalie could win this.

[LadyChatts]

Once again, anybody but Ben!

[MerBearHou]

Any chance Tony found an 2nd hidden idol and the editors didn’t show us?

[Lantern7]

“Ben! Throwing at the target with the adhesive sprayed on! Fuck, did I say that out loud?”

[KelseyNikki614]

This seems like a total toss up in terms of who is going to win.

Boo Ben!

[Lady Calypso]

Wow, Tony wins immunity.

[Growsonwalls]

Dammit. Tony surprisingly good at challenges this season. 

[LadyChatts]

I'm loving these premature celebrations from Ben.

Tony wins immunity.  

[Michichick]

Fuuuuuuuuuck

[Lamb18]

Come on Natalie!

[mojoween]

Wet sand.  Bleargh.

[Lamb18]

Boo!

[PaperTree]

Crap.  Bye Michelle

eta unless Sarah wants to whack Tony.

Edited May 14, 2020 by PaperTree

[LadyChatts]

If only Ben had listened to Tony, he and Tony would still have their idols.

[wallflower75]

*sigh* Tony wins immunity again.

If I were Michele watching at home, I would be pissed that Ben automatically assumes that Natalie has the idol.

Edited May 14, 2020 by wallflower75

[KelseyNikki614]

So Natalie and Michele just have to guess right in terms of who the votes are going on. And also they should vote Ben. Definitely vote Ben. 

[Lamb18]

Boo again!

[nutty1]

I’m SO EXCITED Tony won immunity!

[EllenB]

Please please please vote Ben off.  I like everyone else.

[willco]

So that's probably the end for Michele 😞 They can't vote for Nat or Tony, so she's about it ?

[Lady Calypso]

Honestly, I'd vote Sarah over Ben. Ben has zero shot at winning, and it gets rid of a pair that would, for sure, take each other. At least with Ben, you have the chance of confusing him enough to pick the wrong person to take, should he win F4.

[LadyChatts]

So Tony's side believes Natalie or Michele have the idol, and run the risk of voting for the wrong person and them playing the idol correctly.  It's really worthless to split votes unless they somehow manage a 2-1 vote split correctly.

[susannot]

Vote Ben.  

[Lady Calypso]

Maybe? Depending on how Ben, Sarah, and Tony split votes.

Michele is only screwed if all three votes go on her and not Natalie. She may be a bit screwed if two votes go on her and it's Michele vs whoever Michele/Nat vote out.

I think the concern with Ben is he is good at making fire.  Still, he would be the best final 3 opponent left.  Whereas Sarah could make a decent argument as to why her and Tony were a pair and made decisions together (most of the time), and spout some more gender bias stuff, Ben has nothing.  And he isn't well liked by Jeremy or Adam, so there's that, too.

Yeah, that would be the smarter move. I just strongly dislike Ben
