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

[Michichick]

People can stop saying this was the hardest season of Survivor. It was many days shorter than usual, so no it was not harder.

[dizzyd]

This is it y’all!

[LadyChatts]

Since there’s 8 jurors I wonder if there could be a tie and Xander breaks it?

Guess we’ll find out. I hope they are easy on Xander because he’s probably going to get pummeled.  It’s between Deshawn or Erika. Both played good games, I can’t disagree with either outcome.

[Straycat80]

It’s either going to be Erika or Deshawn. I predict  Xander is going to say more idiotic comments. 

[FlyingEgret]

Did the final 3 get showers? All of a sudden DeShawn doesnt have any sand on his face

[Grizzly]

I kind of want Xander to put his hair in a man bun. How sad is that?

He will until he slowly realizes he’s going to lose.  Then he might just shut up.  
 

Of course Evvie wants to speak first.

[Straycat80]

Why do Deshawn and Erika look so clean? 

[mojoween]

I cannot believe that Xander is wearing that nasty sweater that got soaked two nights ago.  It has to smell like the mustiest moldiest thing ever.

They probably allowed all three to clean themselves up for this.

[LadyChatts]

Liana always looks so sour sitting on the jury.  

[Chicago Redshirt]

Ricard is not pleased.

[Lady Calypso]

Naseer, why are you trying to give Xander his answers?

It's how she looked throughout her time in the game.

[Chicago Redshirt]

Naseer flying off the top rope to advocate for Xander?

 

[KaveDweller]

I guess Nasser is voting for Xander?

Australia was harder.  And which season was it where they had to get evacuated because of the monsoon?

[LadyChatts]

Now we’re getting somewhere lol 

[truthaboutluv]

Dang, maybe Xander won't be third. Hmm, seems the jury's not liking DeShawn too much.

Xander did not get that memo.

I wasn't watching back then in those early seasons but yeah, didn't they lose their rice in Australia and were damn near all but starving because they were in a freaking dry Outback. 

[Straycat80]

Erika is giving good answers. Jury seemed irritated by Deshawn.

[Chicago Redshirt]

Is it typical for other jurors to interject questions during one person's questioning? It feels like that's not usual.

Erika's answer is way better than the others. Maybe she will sweep. 

[LadyChatts]

Ricard is really anti-Deshawn.  Not surprised.

Erika is killing this.  She might get every vote, unless Xander/Deshawn get votes just so the other person doesn’t get to split second.

[truthaboutluv]

DAMN, DeShawn is NOT getting Ricard's vote. And yeah, Erika's winning this.

[Lady Calypso]

Erika is doing so much better than Deshawn or Xander. Ricard being Erika's hypeman is also working in her favour, but she's owning her answers.

[Michichick]

Wow, Erika is doing an amazing job of explaining her game so far.

[Lady Calypso]

Neither is Xander, so Erika has Ricard and Heather's votes on lock, for sure. And probably Evvie as well, who had advocated for a woman winner. She just needs two more votes and she's got this. I can easily see her swaying two others. I do think she could get Tiffany. 

[truthaboutluv]

Okay Xander does not understand the question.  Bless his heart.

[LadyChatts]

Xander is not doing well.  

[Michichick]

Is Xander about to cry?

[truthaboutluv]

I knew she would, which is why I felt like she had the best shot to win.

[Chicago Redshirt]

The answer to the Liana question was that he posterized you, Liana.

[truthaboutluv]

I actually think the jury kind of likes Xander and they're almost trying to help him with his answers but yeah they're voting for Erika. 

Edited December 16, 2021 by truthaboutluv

[LadyChatts]

I think Deshawn will get Danny, Erika will have Heather, Evvie and Ricard.  Naseer could go either way with those two, as I don’t think he’ll vote for Xander.  Tiffany is my biggest wild card but I can see her leaning towards Erika.  

[Lady Calypso]

Ricard's been dominating the jury questions so far, but he IS pushing all three in various ways.

[LadyChatts]

Okay Xander did answer that well.

Yeah I don’t think they hate him they just don’t seem to respect or understand his game moves.  Which, I think a lot of his moves made sense, he just isn’t great at explaining that.  I think they are wanting more and would probably be fine if he said he was looking out for himself and misread the room a few times.

[choclatechip45]

Is this a new jury format? I haven't watched since Cambodia, but I like this format so much better. 

[truthaboutluv]

Really, I can of got the sense that he really liked Xander from his speech. If I remember accurately, Naseer didn't like Erika and he and DeShawn were aligned but the jury so far don't seem to care for DeShawn much.

[mythoughtis]

As usual, the episode will run many minutes into the reunion show.  Why do they do this?  Quit cramming so much into the last episode

Oh it's been awhile. Yeah they've been doing this format for awhile now.

[willco]

I think Xander has answered pretty well, really. I'm betting, though, that Erika is going to win. Doubt if Deshawn gets more than 2 votes.

I think it started once they began this form of jury questioning.  It takes a lot longer than individual questions/statements.  
 

I want to say that I think Probst said CBS made the decision to cut the reunion show times.

thanks! so much better than the angry speeches and monologues. 

[Chicago Redshirt]

Deshawn may have bought back some votes, but we'll see....

[LadyChatts]

In another situation I think Xander could have (barely) pulled this off or gotten second.  I just don’t think he’s going to beat Deshawn or Erika.  

[dizzyd]

That was quite a refreshing enjoyable FTC. 

[Lady Calypso]

Xander didn't gain any votes, but Deshawn may have gained those votes from Shan and Liana, so it'll be close with Deshawn/Erika. 

[KaveDweller]

In terms of timing, there isn't an actual "reunion" this year, right? Jeff keeps talking about how they filmed something right after the game ended. That may be another reason it is shorter.

I agree! The jurors seemed to really listen to answers and not just say “you suck.”
