S42.E04: Vibe of the Tribe LIVE CHAT

One castaway paints a target on their back when attempting to pit their tribemates against one another. One tribe dives their way to victory after piecing together a big win in the immunity challenge.

“Hey, Daniel. We’re gonna beat you to death with these bags of hate mail after you caved.”

[LadyChatts]

I think Daniel's probably the last one who should want to speak right now. 

And he's still blaming Chanelle.  Although she gets off easy, considering she can say she didn't vote.

Daniel try to set the rules of conversation after TC.

Sure buddy.

[truthaboutluv]

Is Daniel completely delusional or he really believes the lies he's telling himself.

[Lantern7]

Seriously, I can’t blame Daniel for “folding like a ton of bricks.”

Basically, like the episode of Seinfeld where George tried to justify abandoning kids and an old lady fleeing from a fire.

[DEL901]

Jeez, Daniel is an idiot, saying I’ve lied to you a lot.  

[LadyChatts]

In some ways, I feel sorry for him because he and Jenny were the only ones of their alliance voting, and then with the tie he was really put on the spot.  I don't blame him for not wanting to go to rocks and try to throw Chanelle under the bus, especially when Hai and Lydia thought they were with them.  However, he handled it so badly (and still is).  

He isn't wrong about Chanelle getting away with playing both sides.  I can agree with him on that.  She really isn't as good at this game as she probably likes to think she is.

[vb68]

Daniel just doesn't seem like a very good player.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh wow, we're even earlier into the immunity challenge.

Oh, never mind. Just a reward challenge!

[Lantern7]

Three tribes still. Daniel doesn’t get his dime turn.

”Dime turn” sounds like a move performed by an attractive woman.

Five minutes in and we're already at a challenge. Ropes, balls, baskets . . . yawn. I'm so tired of these.

[LadyChatts]

I hate fish, so I guess I would have to go on Survivor and be starving for 6-ish days to see if I found them appetizing.

Nice to see a reward challenge again.  I am glad that it's just 10 fish and not a fish fry buffet like they would have had 5 seasons ago.

[DEL901]

Since this is reward not immunity, it makes sense not to sit out your weakest person. Do that during the immunity challenge.  

[Lantern7]

Gotta get this out:

”Who’s that Survivor???”

”It’s Rocksroy!!” “ROCKSROY!!!!!”

[Lady Calypso]

Maryanne, I like you, but you only got one ball in. Chill out until you actually win before you celebrate with a scream.

[Lantern7]

The tribe with Jonathan won. Doesn’t seem fair.

[LadyChatts]

It kind of sucks Taku hasn't been able to sit anyone out yet.  But holy crap they are amazing.  The other tribe didn't even get to the mats to shoot baskets.  Times like this I miss sarcastic Probst commentary during the challenge.

[Lantern7]

Oh, shit, is Probst setting them up?

Nope. Wrong yet again. 🙄🤦‍♂️

The Jonathan jealousy begins to show.

[PaperTree]

I hate to use the words "Beast Mode" but Jonathan just killed it .   Again!

[SG429]

If there was ever an almost perfectly run challenge... (one basket missed)

[DEL901]

For this challenge, Tori didn’t want to acknowledge this was about working together.   One leader, not everyone doing their own thing.  Makes a difference. 

[mojoween]

He’s Aquaman, not Thor.  Get it right.

Except as Chanelle rightly pointed out, she didn't even vote. So there's no proof of who she would have voted for. As I said last week, Daniel screwed himself over last week when before even making any real attempt to sway Hai, he went for the "let me throw Chanelle under the bus."

Once Hai made it clear he wasn't switching his vote, again all Daniel had to say was he didn't feel comfortable going to rocks so early and so if Hai wasn't going to switch, then he had no choice. He could have salvaged his relationships with both Chanelle and Mike had he taken that approach. Now, no one likes or trusts him. 

[LadyChatts]

Really, though, Taku may be screwed at the merge.  If they manage to make it with all 4 of their members, the remaining members of the other two tribes could purposely team up to vote them off.  Jonathan especially is going to be in trouble if that happens.  I fully expect a strong immunity showing from him, but even some of the best challenge players stumbled.

Edited March 31, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

So, we have some of the players actually make comments about Jonathan being a beast. So, if none of them take the first chance they get to vote Jonathan out, they're clearly fools.

[truthaboutluv]

Well, way to throw that bullseye on Jonathan. Is this foreshadowing their tribe losing and the members truly doing something as stupid as getting rid of him because they're going to prove they can win without him, because yeah, I'm not so sure. Of course most are probably assuming the tribal switch up is coming soon.

If someone else cooks it and puts it in front of me, I've had some great fish.  Will never cook it myself.

I do think Daniel screwed his own game and that's not necessarily on Chanelle. He's in the position that he is because of his poor gameplay.

However, nobody seems to have pointed out how Chanelle lied about protecting her vote and getting too greedy and screwing over her alliance. So, he has a point in that Chanelle's not getting blowback for her poor decision...but it's really because Daniel's screw-up is so massive.

[truthaboutluv]

Also, it's a little unfair for the other tribes to make it seem like none of the others in the tribe did anything when each person had to sink a ball.

They might not get the chance. I'm hard pressed to think of an individual immunity challenge Jonathan would do poorly in. They don't really have mental challenges anymore. (Not that he would necessarily do poorly at one, but that's the best chance anyone else has at beating him.)

[mojoween]

Editing you better not be setting up a Jonathan boot I swear to Peachy.

[LadyChatts]

Not sure I'd consider Lindsey a good shield, but haven't seen enough of her yet to say so.

 

[vb68]

Exactly. This certainly looks like foreshadowing of Jonathan leaving.

[Lantern7]

I’m a bit behind.

”Wow, look at the fish! Smells like it’s been out for a few hours! Almost like the people knew we’d win easily and just dumped it here!”

I can’t blame her. I bet she thought it would take longer to make her shot.

[DEL901]

Damn, that was some talking head of Jonathan.   I felt sorry for him and his brother.   And I like him more than ever talking about wanting to do acts of service for his tribe. 

But what the hell, Omar and MaryAnne.  What’s so bad saying they are a tight 4?

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I'm loving this season that everyone has gotten some sort of airtime.  

Swati is wanting to be in a power position, which is still sticking with the idea of voting off Drea.  Not sure this is the time, especially since Swati may not be able to get people on her side. 

Tori's trying to butter up Rocks to get him on her side.  

[vb68]

Ikea! How long has it been since we've been with you guys?

Eh, as soon as they start talking, I realize it hasn't been long enough!

They probably think it puts a target on their back that they are tight.  I don't think they are wrong, but it was an honest slip up that even Jonathan admitted to.  They are stupid if they think about getting rid of him before the merge.

I think Omar and MaryAnne are worried that if all 4 of them make the merge, Jonathan's comment will make them targets because why not try to split a tight alliance? 

[LadyChatts]

I feel like this is Daniel vs Chanelle 2.0, except Swati is Chanelle and Tori is Daniel.  Swati made a big mistake that could come back to bite her.  Or Drea.  Really, don't trust Tori, but why trust the girl who claims to be in an alliance with you, yet didn't tell you she had an extra vote?  Of course, once Rocks has his mind made up he doesn't seem to like to change it, as we saw with the Zach vote.  So he may not budge on Tori no matter what.

Trouble at Blue.  Rox or Tori can go NBD.

No, when it gets to individual immunity, they tend to have a lot of puzzle related sections in the challenges, even if there may be a physical portion. It helps keep things even and Jonathan has made it clear that he's not a puzzle person.

[Lantern7]

“Stephanie Tanner in the wilderness! Only on CBS! How rude!!!” 🙄🙄🙄

[mojoween]

Still not much of a Tori fan, but I like how she said that Rocks has the tendency of someone who is a narcissist, rather than calling him one outright.  No beachside diagnosing for her!

[vb68]

Why exactly did Tori trust Rocksroy with that info?

[LadyChatts]

I don't know what Swati expected to happen.  Tori is at the bottom and playing for her game life.  Use what you have at your disposal.  She's the one who wants Drea gone.  If Drea wanted the girls alliance, why not vote out one of the guys, and save Drea for later?
