Original airdate 11/3/21

This is your LIVE CHAT thread. 

[Lady Calypso]

Erika, you better have smashed that goddamn hourglass.

[Pepper the Cat]

Smash that glass!

 

[Lady Calypso]

My heart is pumping. Even though it should be obvious, I'm so scared she didn't do it.

[Pepper the Cat]

Yes!!

 

[Lady Calypso]

THANK YOU. 

It would have been in the top 5 worst moves of the history of Survivor if she didn't SMASH THAT GLASS.

Love your Avatar by the way.

 

[Lamb18]

SMASH IT! SMASH IT!!!

Otherwise it was all a waste of time.

YES!! YES!!

Those sullen men's faces...ha!ha!

[LadyChatts]

Thank god!  Screw those guys for sending Erika to Exile (thank god they did because I don’t know if Naseer would have reversed course, and I want some action!)

Hahahahaah yessssss Erika! I hope to see Ricard go tonight.

[mojoween]

Huh.  I HATE that she smashed the glass.  First, because stahhhhp with all the advantages and second she didn’t even DO anything to be given that power and third Danny’s team won that challenge and he should be safe dammit.

I don’t even think J.T. Would be that stupid.  

[CraftyHazel]

The only reason I’m sorry she did smash it is because it keeps Shan around another week and puts Naseer in possible peril.

[vb68]

Erika unquestionably made the right decision.

Not so much Naseer, but SAME about Shan.  She’s smiling like a normal person, but all I see is smirking.

I’m worried it might be Naseer.

But, at the same time, Erika got screwed by simple pure luck that she wasn't chosen to be on a tribe originally and then doubly screwed because she was essentially chosen to go home, and they purposefully isolated her to do that.

It allowed Erika to actually put the power in her hands since she was gonna be eliminated.

[PaperTree]

An advantage scorecard was helpful.

Nice TH on Exile by Erika.  

YES!  Smash that hourglass!  New Blue isn't so smug now.  LOL!

The foot fetish folks are going to love this challenge.

 

[vb68]

Go Naseer!!

[Lady Calypso]

Also, yeah, Blue Tribe gets screwed over by their fellow Blue Tribe member, and I love karma like this.

I hope Evvie wins here so Danny's head explodes as he struggles with the decision to get out a woman or not.

[LadyChatts]

There really isn’t a challenge I’d be good at on this show, but I’d be downright terrible at this one.  I’m surprised more of them aren’t struggling.

Of freaking course Ricard wins.

[PaperTree]

Ugh!  Ricard wins immunity.

eta:  That's right Erika. own it!

Edited November 4, 2021 by PaperTree

[Lady Calypso]

I DO kind of love that one of Blue Tribe is likely to go. They kind of need to be knocked out. I just hope Naseer is the safe one.

[Michichick]

Well, fuck. I’d like Sydney to go though I wonder if it will be Evvie instead 

[mojoween]

Wait are there going to be two TC’s today, or are we seriously going to have to listen to everyone jabber and strategize for the next thirty minutes?  

[phlebas]

Fun challenge. i almost remembered they had a Sydney.

[vb68]

Nasser probably has to use his Idol to be safe. I expect heavy lobbying by Danny and Deshawn against him.

Does the vote really take up the rest of the hour?

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, Michichick said:

It might be, but I hope not. Blue Tribe in danger will be pushing for Evvie to go, but since everyone votes, everyone else has to realize that they need to knock out one of the others, right?

[Lamb18]

I'm sort of glad Ricard is safe because I like seeing him stand up to Shan but I am afraid Evvie will be voted out.

[LadyChatts]

Yeah him and Evvie I want safe.  Everyone votes, right?  And half the tribe is safe and can’t be voted for?

[PaperTree]

Will Nasseer play his idol?  It's a long way to the end.

eta: Liana would be stupid to play her steal.

It depends. Blue Tribe will push for Evvie to go, but I think others will want to get rid of one of them. And with Danny/Deshawn in an alliance with Shan/Liana, and Sydney being their third, they'll push for Naseer if Evvie isn't gaining traction.

So Naseer, I think, would benefit from playing it.

Liana might steal an idol. Maybe tribal council is nuts and takes a while.

[LadyChatts]

Seeing the look on Deshawn’s face is worth this.

I love that Deshawn and Danny aren’t happy about Erika’s decision.

[Lady Calypso]

They shouldn't be, BUT it's their fault to begin with. Danny, specifically, SENT Erika to Exile to get rid of her. It's only fitting she turned it back on him.

Since they did a ‘previously on’ and focused solely on Liana’s advantage and whose found idols, I’m thinking something goes down.

Liana is getting a little too power crazed I feel like.

[Lady Calypso]

I don't mind it. I think it's because we've always seen the men act this cocky, so it's nice to see the women get to be a bit power crazed for once. They don't tend to be.

Aww, Xander wants to play his idol for Evvie. That's sweet. Please play it on them, and hope Liana doesn't steal from him.

[LadyChatts]

Yes!  Give Evvie the idol, have Liana waste her advantage, and let Sydney go home.

But since I rarely get what I want…

Ooh, Tiffany blabbed about Liana’s advantage to Xander and Evvie.  Go Tiffany!

[Lady Calypso]

You also almost want to give the idol to Tiffany to play on Evvie. I'd be worried about Liana figuring it out.

But maybe I'd be overthinking it.

[PaperTree]

So Xander needs to give Evvie his idol so Liana won't be able to steal it, unless somebody blabs.

If Xander gives Evvie his idol in advance, and she asks him for it, he wouldn’t have to hand it over, right?   Because it would be in Evvie’s possession then.  

[vb68]

Tiffany just went way up as a player in my book.

I'm happy Xavier is clued in.

Correct. Liana has to know that Xander currently has it in his possession. If he gives it to Evvie or Tiffany, then he doesn't have it and, thus, the question would be "no".

[mojoween]

I know I’m all old man yelling at clouds here, but Jesus Christ there are way way WAY too many idols and advantages and steals and dice rolls to have to think about.  Just walk to the urn and vote and be done with it.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Oh, I would LOVE to see that question get asked and Xander says No!!

[Lady Calypso]

Urg, I love almost all the women this season to varying degrees. They're ALL playing hard and they're more fun to watch than the men (besides Naseer).

Which is why I'd be so disappointed if any of the men or Sydney win.

[LadyChatts]

All Xander would need to do is give Evvie his idol and not tell anyone else about it-and hope that she and Tiffany don’t let anyone in on it.  
 

ETA: never mind Xander blabbed on himself.  You ruined a great moment in Survivor history Xander!

Or maybe not?

Edited November 4, 2021 by LadyChatts

[Lamb18]

Yes, Xander should give it to Evvie just in case. 

I forgot everyone goes to tribal; it's just that only five can be voted for.

[KaveDweller]

Ugh, Xander don't tell them you will play your idol for Evvie.
