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

[LadyChatts]

It's possible Erika could be swayed into voting out Ricard if she's convinced taking Deshawn along was smart for her game.  Who would vote for him besides Danny and maybe Naseer?

I forgot The Amazing Race is back next month!  Something to watch in between Survivor seasons.

[Lady Calypso]

And Erika gets Heather back on her side, not that I thought Heather would turn on her anyway.

 

[vb68]

So they are both fine with getting beaten by Ricard.

Even if they don't say it that way, that's what they are saying.

[LadyChatts]

Maybe Erika is on the vote-out-Ricard train.

Heather would rather take Ricard and see him win over taking Deshawn.

Are Erika and Heather really calling the shots?  I mean I know there are few people left but Erika is a little confident that whatever she wants will happen.  The guys could band together and vote out Heather.

[Lamb18]

"Tipsy for Tribal" would be a good name for an episode.

They could, but even they know that's a really stupid move. Heather is a goat. She will get no votes at the end. Everyone else could get a vote.

[LadyChatts]

Erika is more or less telling Ricard she's thinking of voting him out.  Not sure if that is smart logic.

[truthaboutluv]

Erika and Heather would be making a complete rookie mistake if they keep Ricard based on being mad at DeShawn. Ricard was Shan's number 1 and betrayed her and instead of being mad at him, she was all, "you get my vote", while she called DeShawn a snake. That jury is NOT favorable to DeShawn. This vote SHOULD NOT be so difficult.

Perhaps, but at this stage, what can he do? He can't vote her out, and the most he can do is send her to fire. Otherwise, he has zero power to get her out.

[NYGirl]

Why aren't the 2 girls and Xander not talking about voting Ricard off????

[truthaboutluv]

Xander is such a lovable doofus. 

eta: Oh dear god, Xander DO NOT play your idol for Ricard.  They'll probably just vote you out instead.

[LadyChatts]

Xander just asked if he can visit Ricard and his new family as Uncle Xander.  That was cute.

[PaperTree]

IDOL!

[Straycat80]

Oh no   Xander don’t give up your idol! 

[vb68]

That should be a red flag to Xander. Ricard is just waiting to drop that new baby bomb at final Tribal.

[Pepper the Cat]

Xander! Ricard is playing you.

Give him your idol and you are doomed!

[Lady Calypso]

Xander thinking that using the idol on Ricard would be a good move for him, when I think it's a move that the jury won't respect.

He could try and get Heather out.  Which would be stupid, because I don't see anyone voting for Heather, but it's possible.  

Now Xander is purposing using his idol on Ricard.  I kind of hope he does.  

[dizzyd]

Ricard should be the no brainer vote but way to pull on mine and especially Xander’s heart strings. If he succeeds and makes it to FTC, he should win just for that.

Which...isn't that bad for Erika. Again, the worst case is that she goes to fire with one of the men. Yes, she could easily beat Heather at fire, but Erika is still in control of her own game. 

[KaveDweller]

Xander saving Ricard would be like Woo bringing Tony to the end only to lose. Or Colby taking Tina way back in season 2.

Heather and her bad plastic surgery should not be in the finale.

[PaperTree]

X would be stupid to give Ricard his idol, but we've seen stupid moves before😎

Given the reaction to Xander sitting out that challenge, I think the jury will eye roll it.  I am wondering if Xander could be a surprise vote and Ricard is trying to play on his sympathy by getting him to play his idol on him.  Remember when everyone was trying to come up with any doomsday scenario for him to play his idol?

Ricard may finally be the one to get Xander and his idol out of the game.  Now I'm nervous lol

[CraftyHazel]

I’ve begun to love Ricard and his sneaky snake ways, so I kind of hope Xander does save him.  I wouldn’t mind one bit if he won.

It's a move that'll convince them even more that Ricard was the complete mastermind of this whole season. They'll see it as his game being so strong he got someone to play their idol for him at such a crucial point in the game, when it was also so glaringly obvious that he's the biggest threat left.

[rebeccalj]

If these idiots don’t vote Ricard out, they deserve to freaking lose.  What a bunch of idiots.  And the sob story about his baby…. Give me a break.

We've seen enough in this season alone.

[LanceM]

Yeah I am not falling for this manaufactured drama. Ricard is going home. lol

If Xander gives that damn idol to Ricard, I swear I might have a frekin' stroke !

I have to hope Xander isn't THAT dumb to do that.

[LadyChatts]

So it seems like this is between Ricard and Deshawn.  Maybe a surprise vote of Xander?

Ricard could throw Xander under the bus by saying he promised to play his idol on him but didn't.

[Straycat80]

Oh here we go Ricard is going to tell the sob story about the baby 🙄

[Pepper the Cat]

Oh boo hoo Ricard.

[Lady Calypso]

This is very strategic on Ricard's end, though I don't doubt the emotions are real.

[LadyChatts]

Hmm there's a lot of focus on Ricard and his sob story.  He might be going.  

Though they did this with Heather when Naseer got blindsided.  

[vb68]

 Here come the tears.

Ricard deserves an Oscar if he pulls this off.

[mojoween]

Vote out Ricard or you’re all stupid.

[LadyChatts]

Me neither, but if it's all he's got I say go for it.  Although this might just be more motive to vote him off.

Sadly I'm not too sure about that. 

[Michichick]

Yeah, they need to vote out Ricard. Don’t let his sob story snow you, Xander. But I do think Xander will play his idol for himself,  not for Ricard.

[Pepper the Cat]

Ricard you choose to do this.

Just stop.

I’m a nurse. You want to know heartbreaking? It’s someone dying of Covid alone because we are locked down to visitors and the best they can do is stand at the windows looking in.

Use it or lose it, right?

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah, I think Ricard is gone. A LOT of focus on Ricard, which means this is his swan song.

[LadyChatts]

I just can't believe Ricard isn't going after all this.  Either that or he's winning and they are setting him up for victory.

Or maybe Probst is onto something lol

Edited December 16, 2021 by LadyChatts

[mojoween]

Ricard is calling himself a G.O.A.T for fuck’s sake.

[LadyChatts]

I'm so nervous Xander is going to get blindsided after that comment from Probst.  

[mojoween]

Why is Peachy talking about the vote and who he thinks is going to get voted out?  Way the fuck to step right the hell over the line.

[truthaboutluv]

Nice fakeout there Xander...

That speech made it seem like he was going to play it for Ricard and he thought it was coming. But nice to see these people weren't idiots.

LOL, good on Xander.
