S41.E13: One Thing Left to Do... Win LIVE CHAT

[Lamb18]

I feel Xander sees himself as the only kid surrounded by all these grownups and he's trying to please and impress them all.

And Xander has somehow managed to secure 3rd place for himself. Jesus.

The only way he doesn't get third place (not co-runner up, but legit third) is if Heather is there too. Though he still could very well get no votes.

[simplyme]

Btw, it's nice of them to sprinkle a bit of Survivor in among all these commercials.

[Chicago Redshirt]

I would assume Deshawn can beat Heather at firemaking, or pretty much anything. 

[mojoween]

I can’t lie, an Erika or Heather win would be very dissatisfying.  Come on DeShawn strike that flint!

There was a nice Amazing Race commercial.

An Erika win would be fantastic. She's been playing hard, especially considering she was meant to be a pre-merge boot and her own tribe tried to throw one of the challenges to get her out.

I think Heather would get votes out of spite just for Xander telling the jury what his read is on them when it comes to her.  I mean that was bad.  I wonder if he found some of Erika's leftover wine from her IC/RC victory and drank it.  Or maybe some fruit that made him loose lipped.

True. Never, ever tell the jury what they're thinking. They don't like that.

[simplyme]

They've shown DeShawn struggling enough that I can predict how this goes. :P

[Lamb18]

One of the TAR contestants looks like Rachel.

No fair! Canada isn’t getting Amazing Race ads. Stop teasing me!

I think that in a HEX final three, it is possible that a range of factors still give Xander some votes or a win. Being (overly) impressed with his immunity wins and challenge performances, for instance. Or good ol' fashioned sexism. Or personal dislike for Erika. 

[willco]

Heather made fire at camp in 5 seconds and now she can't even get a bite ?? So weird.

 

Oh, now she does :)

I do think Xander bought a little bit of goodwill in how he ended up complimenting Heather in the end. That was sweet.

[LadyChatts]

Come on Heather!  I want to see the look on Xander's face when you get more votes than him in the FTC.

He might be able to get a couple of votes, but I don't think he wins. The jury had very negative reactions to Xander dissing Erika from their POV.

[dizzyd]

Deshawn blew that 🔥 in more ways than 1. 

And Heathers resume is she made 🔥 lol

well did I get that wrong 🤣

[Chicago Redshirt]

Painful to watch.

[vb68]

It will be amazing if Heather wins the whole thing.

[Lady Calypso]

Deshawn started off strong and had his flame quickly burn out.

I think Heather's got this.

[LadyChatts]

I hope Xander is watching the jury because they look excited for Heather.

I do feel sorry for Deshawn though.  It sucks to go out this way.  

Okay, maybe he's still in it.  Heather's fire is starting to go out a little bit.  Either way it sucks to go out that way.

Poor Heather.  That was so close.  

[Straycat80]

That was a nail biter! 

[truthaboutluv]

DANG that was close. Man, sucks for Heather because she was close. I've never seen that damn rope take this long to burn.

[vb68]

Damn! I thought Heather had it.

[Chicago Redshirt]

And congrats to Deshawn. I think it's only a question of he clean sweeps the FTC or if it's more like 6-3, 5-4. Or what...Like I think Deshawn has Danny, Shan, Liana and Ricard's votes for sure.

[simplyme]

I was ready to eat my words there. Damn, Heather.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh wow! Deshawn did it!

Ok, I do like this F3. It's gonna be more evenly matched, where anyone can get the votes to win.

Though Xander definitely secured himself third place.

[Lamb18]

Rats, I wanted Heather to win.

[Pepper the Cat]

Was so cheering for Heather.

[mojoween]

No sorry nothing will ever be better than “we’re going to matches.”

[truthaboutluv]

Xander is definitely coming third because I actually think the votes will go to DeShawn and Erika and Erika will win.

Heather's rope must have been wire on the inside ! What kind of rope doesn't burn thru with fire on it that long ??

[LadyChatts]

Well, I think Xander lost this definitely.  

Deshawn probably gets Danny.  Erika will likely have Heather, Ricard, and Evvie.  Unsure how the others might vote.  Shan still seemed bitter at Ponderosa so she could be an Erika vote.

Crap, I wanted Heather to win the fire challenge.

[PaperTree]

Wow!  I'm team Erika.

[Lamima]

Hmmmm. That was something.

Hmmmm. That was something. I see others think same...Hether's rope took way long to burn like it was copper inside. Compared to Deshawn..who could not make fire. Fishy.

Edited December 16, 2021 by Lamima

[Michichick]

I wanted Heather to win the fire challenge because I want Erika to win the season

[Straycat80]

At this point I’m guessing the reunion will be less that an hour, plus throw in the 50 commercials. 

[Lady Calypso]

I think, between Deshawn/Erika, it's all going to depend how their FTC answers go. I could see either winning.

[LadyChatts]

I do think it's weird that Heather's took so long to burn when she had fire on hers longer.  

[simplyme]

I still see DeShawn getting Danny, Shan, and Liana.

It wasn't really direct, though. It was blowing all around. DeShawn's fire was steadier. That was the difference.

[EllenB]

A whole season and it finally got interesting the last ten minutes. Heather, I'm glad I finally figured out who you were last week.

[Lady Calypso]

I think Deshawn gets Danny for sure, but Shan/Liana still seem bitter at Deshawn. I think it'll come down to his answers for them. They could vote for him, but I don't see them being locks.

Liana might be able to swallow her pride more and vote for Deshawn.  Not sure about Shan.  Deshawn is likely going to seem very confident in his chances, especially after Xander tanking his, so he might screw himself over.

He will get their votes. 

[iMonrey]

DeShawn just won. It's game over.

[LadyChatts]

That looks like muscle to me Xander.

Aside from being dirtier, Xander doesn’t seem unchanged much from the start of the season.

The women on the jury might go for Erica. There was a pretty strong female alliance at one point, and I think some of them made the jury.
