S42.E09: Game of Chicken LIVE CHAT

[jsm1125]

I wish the show would have the double elimination at 11 and 10 instead of at 10 and 9. 11 is often such a boring vote.

Can we please hear from Lindsay about her thoughts and plans?

I’ll get flamed for this, I’m sure, but I’m a female and many seasons there are “let’s band together as females and vote out the guys” and that’s fine.  I’ve wondered why the guys don’t do the same thing when they’re on the right side of the numbers.  It should be fine for them to bro-up as much as it is for females to band together just because they’re all women.  

To be fair, this usually doesn't even work out, because a woman goes and rats on the alliance to the men.

Survivor has had more successes with all women's alliances than other reality shows, but there's a reason why guys aligning because they're guys is being commented on more than all women's alliances. 

Plus, physically fit men being portrayed this season by the men as being in the minority? A little tone deaf for me.

Gotta admire Lindsay. She fought hard.

If Hai fell before her I wonder if she would have offered to rock-paper-scissor Jonathan for immunity, or just stick it out.  They would have already won food.

[susannot]

Jonathan does yoga?  I love him even more.  Long time yoga practitioner here.

[PaperTree]

Shocker!

This will always take me back to my favorite quote form Palau when Katie said "we can't have a women's alliance because Caryn sucks."

I wonder if Jonathan's teammates all just jumped off on purpose and thought Jonathan will win this for us.

I can’t see anyone throwing immunity when means a 1 in 4 chance of going home

Jonathan won that because he was heavier than anyone else.  Weighed down the platform.

I wasn’t trying to reverse-hex Jonathan. I just thought his body wasn’t suited for this. I was wrong. He is awesome at everything, and I’m delighted with that.

”Mr. Jeff.” Dude . . . no.

Honestly, I didn't expect this challenge to favor someone like Jonathan.  He does yoga, right?  That might explain it.

Please tell me Mike leaves.  Way too cocky.  But not sure it's looking good for Romeo.

Don’t forget, he is a surfer.  He is used to keeping balance in rough water.         
 

Lindsey did great.  I was hoping Romeo would get immunity to blow their minds.  

[LadyChatts]

I like Omar more and more with each episode.

I want Romeo to stay and Mike to go.  Or Rocks.  Can they both go?

[vb68]

is this their chance to get Tori?

[PaperTree]

Would love Rox to go.

[LadyChatts]

Omar wants to keep Romeo and vote out Rocks.  He also tells Romeo there's an all guy alliance that he wasn't included in.

This whole plan depends on Hai.

[DEL901]

MaryAnne might have some support with Jonathan and Lyndsey on the mini tribe.   And Tori has been a target for a while…fingers crossed.  

[vb68]

Hopefully Omar switches this up.

[LadyChatts]

Why does Hai care about losing Mike's trust?  He's one person.  Mike probably has more people against him in the game than with him.

[susannot]

OK< i officially dislike Romeo.  He said Mike is "like, 100 years old."  Actually, Mike is 55, I think.  What a horribly ageist comment.

[Lantern7]

Hai is the worst? I have to be reminded there’s a guy with that name there.

HOLY SHIT! Was that a crab? Are they supposed to get that big?

[Lady Calypso]

I'd be fine with Rocksroy going, but I'd rather Mike goes. He's in too comfortable of a posittion, AND he's the one instigating this toxic masculinity idea.

Hai is very practical being able to separate friendship and game play.  

[LadyChatts]

What alliance is Mike talking about?  The guys alliance or the big co-ed alliance?

[iMonrey]

Mike is actually making sense. I don't think I want to live in that world.

The latter.

[dizzyd]

That reward looks delish and healthy.

I hate his "I gave my word" crap he keeps throwing out there as to why he won't change his mind.  It's Survivor, no one expects you to keep your word.

[vb68]

Take out Mike! take out Mike!

[Lantern7]

Thinking that Probst will imply that Jonathan has a harem for this episode.

He’s working with Maryanne. His threshold for annoyance has increased. 😜

[wallflower75]

I have a bad feeling that this half of the tribe won't take the chance to take out Tori.

Edited April 28, 2022 by wallflower75

[iMonrey]

Don't blow this Maryanne. Oh wait too late.

[LadyChatts]

Jonathan wants to get rid of Drea out, in order to flush her idol.  

MaryAnne is annoyed that she's being treated like a little kid with Jonathan.

Normally I'd say telling Tori is a bad idea, but since she wants Drea out this probably won't backfire on them.

[wallflower75]

Good for Drea, figuring out that something's fishy here!

[Lady Calypso]

LMAO, Lindsay having to tell Jonathan why his plan sucks.

[LadyChatts]

I like how Jonathan says "we have an extra vote and an idol."

No, MaryAnne has an extra vote and an idol.  It's only a community extra vote and idol if she wants it to be.

Edited April 28, 2022 by LadyChatts

[iMonrey]

This isn't a good color on Jonathan.

[DEL901]

Ugh, Jonathan.   I like you better when you don’t talk and just swim and stuff.  

[Lady Calypso]

Urg, no, Jonathan, not with the "you're not listening, stop getting worked up" spiel.

Boy, I liked you up until this conversation with Lindsay, your close ally.

[LadyChatts]

So Jonathan's tribe is going to TC first?  This one might be more interesting than the other one.

[KaveDweller]

If Drea plays her idol, Mary Anne could play her idol too. Then I guess there'd be no valid votes.

It would be smarter to have told Drea to vote for Tory, it seems odd Jonathan would give her Mary Anne's name, unless he actually wants her gone.

[dizzyd]

Lol Jonathan needs to stick to brawn coz his brains are failing. He’s finally shown an unflattering misogynistic side. Knew he was too good to be true. 

[Lady Calypso]

No, they go last because Jonathan won the challenge for them.

[Lantern7]

“I’ve been waiting for this moment . . . for all my life. Oh, lord.”

Guess I gotta be wrong again: I think Probst will talk to the camera again.

[wallflower75]

Good thing Jonathan's got immunity or he'd probably be gone here.  The first time he decides to make a "big move" and he's really screwing it up.

[susannot]

Jonathan thinks he's the alpha male orchestrating the plan.  Actually I'm pretty sure it's Lindsay and she is 10 times smarter than him.  Right now she is my pick to win.

[vb68]

Jonathan , bro, you are living to the stereotype of the dumb jock right now.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, it just ended before commercial with them heading to tribal.  That's why I was confused lol

[Lady Calypso]

It's such a shame about Jonathan. I should have known with him broing it up with the Misogyny Club, but I had hoped it wasn't true.

[Lamb18]

Ha, Jonathan shows his true colors. Funny if the four women say we're tired of being bossed around, let's vote out Jonathan.

He has individual immunity, so he's not an eligible option.

If he didn't have immunity, they might have.

[LadyChatts]

Honestly, I don't think MaryAnne is as naive as she comes across.  Last week she said she uses her emotions to get ahead in the game, but clearly she's more perceptive than she wants everyone to know.

[Lantern7]

Time to fire up the grill. It’s a sausage fest!

[LadyChatts]

I hope Mike or Rocks goes.  I like Romeo and want him to stay.
