S41. E01: A New Era LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Awww, I don't want him to change 'come on in guys' to 'come on in' :(  Sorry, I don't always deal with changes so well.

‘Bout time we got a challenge up in here!

I understand Richard’s view, and also think Peachy caved.

Could JD sound more sketchy?  On the other hand, I can't believe how well Xander sold his extra vote.

The thing is we only saw one guy protect his vote. We really don't know what the other two did, only what they said.

I also think he's telling the truth about not reading any complaints people tweet at him.  And yes, your right, he did cave, no doubt.

So two tribes going to TC, and both losing tribes losing their flint until the next challenge at least.  Kind of like these new changes so far.

ETA: except the slow-mo in the challenges.

Well that's one way to get through all the players with less days - boot two at a time. 

[candall]

I can't remember which man HATES anyone telling him what to do.  I have to go back and check because he'll be a fun one to watch when everyone on the team is screaming at everyone else.

I thought they did show the guy from the yellow tribe - Xander I think, turning the wheel to "risk your vote." So JD is the only outlier as to whether he really did what he said he did. And I have a feeling they didn't show it for a reason and it may come into play at tribal council.

Maybe they'll do that until the merge, then go one at a time.

[LadyChatts]

Yellow tribe really sucks so far at challenges.  That puzzle wasn't even half done.

Some really careless mistakes in this challenge.

Tribes should never panic if they fall behind early in a challenge that has a puzzle. The puzzle can be a great equalizer. Meanwhile, is Yasa even trying folks? At least UA was in it until the missed some pieces but Yasa just there, constantly playing catch up.

[PaperTree]

Well done blue!  So if the loser's fire is still going, somebody needs to be on fire duty 24/7.

If I were to ever go on this show (LOL) I would have learned some bow drill or other fire making skills, just in case the flint got lost.

[LadyChatts]

Liana: "Hopefully it's Abraham tonight."

Also Liana: 'Do you think we should keep him and stay strong?'

Truthfully, I don't know if Abraham is really contributing to the strength of that tribe.  And I feel like Evvie uttered the kiss of death for keeping Tiffany by saying she's going to probably stay more loyal (sometimes that can really backfire on a person).

Yes, I'm sure we saw Xander's choice when he was talking to his tribe. JD is sketchy. I honestly thought he was lying.

[choclatechip45]

I thought JD was lying too.

Exactly.   I kind of hate the gray haired guy who had a problem with it.   It's just a word and it's tradition.

Wow!  You are good with names.  I only know there's one bunch called something like Luvu.

If I had only heard his take on things and not actually saw what they did, I would have thought so, too.

And now Probst has to show us where they hide idols?  Come on Probst, at least hide it somewhere besides a tree.  We know that's where they usually are!

[choclatechip45]

Brett's hair reminds me of Kathy's (Micronesia) hair. 

[candall]

Who's that girl whiney crying?  Vote her out.

[LadyChatts]

I honestly would be fine if Green tribe voted out the off-key humming pastor.  I don't want J.D. to go.  

Hey Brad, piece of advice: don't throw out the name of the person that you are thinking of voting off in front of them.  

And J.D. now knows his name is out there.

I honestly don't see how "guys" is not 21st century.  It's always been gender neutral in intent.

I think Sara, and yeah, it wasn't the end of the world.  J.D. was already a target.  And didn't Shan say she didn't see the puzzle pieces still in the bag?  At least I could understand Evvie crying over at Yellow tribe.  They had two rough challenges in a row.

[PaperTree]

Is that a new set for tribal?

[LadyChatts]

Yellow tribe is at TC first.

Exactly! I'm with you "guys" ;)

[LadyChatts]

They're really setting this up to be a Tiffany vs Abraham vote.  

[CraftyHazel]

I grew up in Michigan, and “you guys” is their version of “y’all”, so I don’t mind it.  But it won’t destroy the game for me, having that changed.

I cut Sara a bit of slack on the crying.  She lost her Survivor-loving grandma to COVID, and I got the impression that she’s playing kind of in tribute, so yeah, it would suck to be potentially voted out first.

[candall]

I'm more feminist-sensitive than most and I don't bristle when I'm grouped into "guys."  It feels, er, non-binary at this point.  I'd much rather be called a guy than a [shudder] "gal," which almost always comes across as patronizing.

 

Oh, commercial's over.  Tribal Council, 2021.

[LadyChatts]

I thought they might throw us for a loop and have Tiffany present the idol, without us seeing her find it.

I'm not mad at Tiffany sticking around.  Abraham didn't do much for me.

[PaperTree]

Well I'm blindsided!  They're going to miss his strength down the line.

[mojoween]

I honestly didn’t even know there was an Abraham until Tiffany mentioned wanting to vote him out after the challenge.

Yeah, I felt like I didn't really get a sense of the dynamics at the Yellow tribe tonight.  They seemed to focus more on the other two tribes.  Abraham almost seemed fake-surprised at being voted out.

Green tribe is up!  This could be interesting.

I was really only making a joke based on that high-pitched whine more than any crying.  I'm sure they're all exhausted and hungry and overwhelmed.  I'd be in tears if anyone looked at me funny, I'm sure.

And yes, being first out always looks like it's awful.  Abraham handled it as well as anyone and he seemed on the verge of tears, too.

[LadyChatts]

I'm actually liking two tribes having to go to TC.  It seems to make higher stakes.

Oh brother, whispering at TC (at least it's not a game of telephone).  I really hope J.D. survives.  

Never mind on the telephone.  Good lord.  Can't this change?

[truthaboutluv]

Sarah's being a little whiny here. I get she's scared but girl you're doing a little too much right now. I say vote her and her group instead of JD. 

[LadyChatts]

I wish they'd surprise me and vote out Sara, Ricard, or humming pastor.  

Edited September 23, 2021 by LadyChatts

[candall]

All this standing up and walking around to whisper to each other at TC is something that never should have been allowed to start.

Harrumph.

[urusai]

I feel talking during tribal should be prohibited. I mean amongst themselves.

We're on the same page. I said the same above. 

[PaperTree]

They should get rid of Graybeard.

[Lantern7]

I’m an hour behind. Watching the guys climb. Imagining Probst welcoming them, then say that they’re all dead. “Wait, we’re out of the game?” “No, you’re dead. Look behind you. Your bodies are right there. Heart attacks. Time for you to go. We ain’t fucking around this season.”

Damn, the backstories are coming in hard, American Ninja Warrior style.

[Suzysite]

I don't like these whispering tribal councils.  Decide ahead of time.

[choclatechip45]

I love the whispering tribal councils. 

[LadyChatts]

Yes!  Sarah!  That's a blindside!  I won't miss her (I really thought Brad was a goner).

[angeleyes4477]

Bye Sara(h?).

[PaperTree]

That was fun!  See you all next week!

[truthaboutluv]

Girl you played that shit too badly. Brad was already set on sending her home because of the challenge and that mess she and Ricard tried to pull at tribal council just solidified it. 

So my phone rang just as I started voting and I saw JD did get an extra vote but missed how. Was I right and he lied about protecting his vote and picked skip the vote and got it that way because Xander voted the same as well?

[urusai]

Glad she’s out now.  She would make for a bitter juror.

[SG429]

I'm missing the Probst-isms before sending them back to camp - "well the only thing you can be sure of on Survivor is you can never be sure." I'm paraphrasing.
