Can't believe it's finale night.  Excited for S42 already.

Aside from Heather I don't care which of the other 4 wins.  Who knew I'd be saying that about Ricard a few weeks ago.

[Lady Calypso]

I can't believe we're finally here. I'm actually excited to see who wins.

[vb68]

Here we go.

Happy Season Finale everyone!

[mojoween]

I’ve fallen asleep watching TV every night this week.  Not tonight!

It surprised me all over again to see that Heather is still there.  

[vb68]

Xander sounds a little too cocky.

[LadyChatts]

I don't understand the point of them moving to a new island a few days before the end.  

Xander is looking for his pants.  And he's eating his own adrenaline.  That's quite a pep talk he's giving himself.

Ooh, mini fight between Deshawn and Erika.

[Straycat80]

Finale already! And they are announcing the winner like they did on season one. 

[mojoween]

Erika’s headband cannot win the title of Sole Survivor.

[Lamb18]

Watching here in Minnesota, and guess what? We're under a tornado watch!! Big thunderstorm heading our way. I hope the power doesn't go out!

You know why they are all on a new beach? So the beach they were on can be set up for the after show.

[Lady Calypso]

You shouldn't be trusting anyone, at this point, Erika! It's now a free-for-all!

[LadyChatts]

I get why Erika was mad at Deshawn for throwing her under the bus at tribal, but he did make a good point why he did it.

So if Xander's idol doesn't get played, is that the first time in modern history idols were never played in a season?

 

[truthaboutluv]

Yeah except now no one can stand you DeShawn and don't trust you, so your goal of making everyone go for Ricard is a fail. 

[PaperTree]

I can't understand Deshawn's babbling.

[Straycat80]

At this point don’t trust anybody! 

[LadyChatts]

Erika's trying to do damage control with Heather.  She asks her on a scale of 1-10 how pissed she is.  Heather is beyond a 10 as she answered no comment.

Again, I get why Erika is mad, but I feel like she's taking this so personally.  Like, this is the game of Survivor!  

[vb68]

I have to respect Ricard already figuring out how to capitalize on DeShawn's little move.

[LadyChatts]

And of course there's an advantage in the finale.  

Ricard: I'm so good at puzzles

Xander: Got it!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yay, Erika found it! 

[Pepper the Cat]

OMG! Erika!,

[LadyChatts]

The advantage is an advantage in the IC.  Erika got it.  She's annoying me so far tonight so I'm kind of disappointed lol 

These guys are making me want to root for Deshawn.

[Lamb18]

I'd think the final advantage phrase would include a goat, some broccoli and dancing butterflies.

[vb68]

Good for Erika!

I'm loving Xander's voiceovers on this thinking he has everything in the bag.

[PaperTree]

Wicked looking puzzle.

[mojoween]

I thought with the clue saying a slight advantage I was sure that the challenge was going to be one of those chessboard type games and Erika would get to pick her spot first.

[Straycat80]

75 piece puzzle. This might take awhile. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Finally a good reward!

[PaperTree]

Heh!  I just had a steak for dinner😎

[LadyChatts]

IC and reward.

Erika's advantage is she gets 4 rungs on her ladders already completely.  Pretty nice advantage.

[Lady Calypso]

Erika's advantage will give her a head start, but will it be enough in such a large puzzle? Probably not.

I think the reason she's so upset is because yes, it's Survivor, you shouldn't trust anyone but the fact is DeShawn's move was unnecessary and his just playing desperate.

Ricard summed it up perfectly when he made that boneheaded move last week - the fact is he DIDN'T know which way the vote was going and didn't think about the after, when he'd then have to go back and have to work with these people IF he made it.

He should have saved the outburst for if he'd been eliminated. But all he did with his move was make a greater case for the other three collectively voting against him, when instead they should have been going for Ricard.

[LadyChatts]

I think Xander forgot one of his ropes.

[vb68]

Wine. Nothing like getting drunk on your last day before it's over.

[LadyChatts]

Puzzles can kill anyone's advantage.  We'll see if this does Erika in.

Probst is trying to encourage poor Heather.

[truthaboutluv]

Chile, Heather is so confused....

[Pepper the Cat]

Yes!!😻❤️🎉

[LadyChatts]

And Ricard dropped a puzzle piece I think.

[Lady Calypso]

And I guess the advantage DID help her! Hooray!

[mojoween]

An advantage on TWO ladders is not slight, clue writers.  Jesus.

[LadyChatts]

So, bye Deshawn?

[vb68]

That advantage made the difference.

I think DeShawn is a goner.

[Pepper the Cat]

Was Heather flashing there?

[Straycat80]

Steak for two. Erika will not choose Deshawn. Oh, Heather goes with her. 

[LadyChatts]

I knew Erika was going to pick Heather.  Smart to do damage control lol

[PaperTree]

Ricard appears doomed.

[Lamb18]

Picking Heather was Erika's best move so they can be allies again.

[truthaboutluv]

Well at least Xander has not lost the plot and recognizes that Ricard is the true threat. But unfortunately, DeShawn's boneheaded move at the previous tribal may have made it difficult for Xander to sell the plan to Erika. 

[LadyChatts]

Ricard is the smart choice to vote off.  I think it could be between the three guys.  Xander mentioned his idol so maybe it finally gets played (this is the last chance right?)  

[Lady Calypso]

Xander will definitely play his idol, just in case, so it's still between Deshawn/Ricard. I do think the smarter move is Ricard, since Deshawn's pissed off a lot of people and Ricard could easily win the final immunity challenge.

[willco]

If they don't vote out Ricard now, they are all crazy ! I still think he will be in the Final 3 and most likely win, no matter who he's up against.
