Original airdate 5/4/22

This is your LIVE CHAT thread

[Lantern7]

“Previously on Survivor . . .  stuff happened, and Probst went through three boxes of tissues. And no, it wasn’t from allergies.”

Will we ever find out why the guy’s name is “Rocksroy”?

I dare Omar to do his Mike impression in front of Mike.

Hai: Mike's such a good ally and I appreciate he let me be the driver in that vote

Mike: I'm upset that Hai is running my game for me

This will be fun.  And now Omar is trying to stir some stuff up.  I love Omar.

[mojoween]

Mr. Mikey-Boy.  Snerk.

[Straycat80]

Omar is playing this game hard now.

[PaperTree]

Go Omar!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yes, Lindsay selling Jonathan out to Omar about Jonathan's stupid plan. I'm glad Lindsay isn't happy with Jonathan.

[LadyChatts]

Not much aftermath from Drea's TC.

Oh wait, maybe.  Lindsey is telling Omar about Jonathan's plan to vote out Drea, with MaryAnne as a back up.  Lindsey feels that being a pair with Jonathan, if he has poor strategy, means that people will think she has poor strategy.  

[Lantern7]

How many advantages does Drea have? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if she played all five Exodia cards at Tribal Council.

Edited May 5, 2022 by Lantern7

[Straycat80]

Wouldn’t there be two idols to find now? 

[iMonrey]

Oh great, another idol. Well technically I guess Drea's or Maryanne's, but still. God forbid we don't have multiple idols in play! FFS. Once the idol is played it should be GONE. For good. This is stupid.

She has three more advantages, I believe. An extra vote, the amulet, and KIP.

[LadyChatts]

Lindsey sucks at idol hunting even when it was right in front of her.  MaryAnne wasn't even looking and found it.  Go MaryAnne!

[Lantern7]

“No bunny rabbits in mailboxes!” Oh, Maryanne. 🙂🙂🙂

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Maryanne found the idol again! 

Now, let's see if she can actually keep it a secret. But I'm happy for her.

[LadyChatts]

Now let's see if MaryAnne means when she's going to keep this to herself or not.

[wallflower75]

Awww, I can't help but smile at MaryAnne's enthusiasm about finding an idol--with no strings attached!

[Lamb18]

Oh Lindsay, you were so close!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh great, more bad weather. And a water challenge in bad weather. 

[Straycat80]

Man, that weather looks awful. I’m surprised the second group didn’t talk about what happened at their TC. The guy group did. 

[wallflower75]

One of these days, someone's going to go up to Jeff and kick him in the nuts for these smarmy questions.

Maybe they only put one back in? They could have decided there were too many advantages in play.

Did they put two back in after Parvati played two in Heroes vs Vilnians? I can't remember any other time two got played in one tribal when it was still early enough to re-hide them.

[Lantern7]

Maryanne’s body set to “chihuahua” once again, and we can tell it’s very cold.

What’s the harm of letting players get warmer clothing? Or sports bras? I don’t want flashbacks of Tracey from S16.

[MerBearHou]

Eight more days.  These shortened seasons fly by.

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, at least only the start of the challenge is in the water.

[LadyChatts]

 This could be a pretty good reward to win to rejuvenate themselves.

 

[iMonrey]

Go thru the obstacle, untie your sandbags, go under the thing, over the balance beam, to the platform, toss the sandbags . . . SNORE.

[truthaboutluv]

Time for alliances to be exposed and those stuck back at camp to plot. Because you KNOW whoever wins will be asked to pick 2 or 3 people to come along with them.

[Lantern7]

“A STORM IS COMING! AND SO AM I!”

Yeah, Probst didn’t say the second part, but he was thinking it.

Having them play in weather this bad is fucked up, even for this show.

[mojoween]

I don’t like to go outside to get the mail when there is a fine mist in the air.  I would be a pruned husk not moving if I had to be outside in that crap.

[LadyChatts]

It seemed like there was nothing to that challenge.  

Lindsey may dig herself a hole by who she picks here.

[MerBearHou]

Is that the quickest challenge ever?

Yeah I feel the storm affected the real challenge. My guess is originally they were probably going to swim from further away and probably had to land three bags.

[Straycat80]

Lyndsay won. Good for her choosing people who haven’t had a reward yet. But the real reason is for strategy.

[iMonrey]

There's a lot of Lindsay this episode. That might mean good news or bad news for her.

[Lantern7]

Uch. Ramber. Listening to Amber talk about how she doesn’t get credit . . . am I bad for thinking, “Well, duh”?

Also: do I suck for thinking Rob sounds like a Muppet when he’s crying?

Edited May 5, 2022 by Lantern7

[LadyChatts]

So Lindsey picked Omar and Mike for strategy, of course, not because she really felt sorry for them.  Mike is an interesting choice there.

[DEL901]

Maybe this will give Omar another opportunity to get in Mike’s head about Hai?

[vb68]

I'm coming in late due to weather affecting my tv. Happy to hear MaryAnne found a new idol. Hope they vote out Mike and his self righteous ass!

[ihartcoffee]

That challenge was lame,, the weather was more interesting... 

[LadyChatts]

I don't know that it's been all good.  She missed an idol that MaryAnne found without even looking, and Omar may not be one to trust.  She also made the comment "Omar's been with me since day 1", which some people might pick up on as they have an unbreakable bond, so get rid of one of them.  I don't think she's had much airtime this season so maybe they just decided to give her something.

[Lantern7]

I’m trying to focus on Maryann’s eyes. I’m not having much luck there.

[LadyChatts]

It's dull around there without Tori and her eyerolls.

[DEL901]

I give MaryAnne a lot of credit, as a seminary student, not making everything about her faith.  This is the first time she’s even been shown mentioning god…at least that I can remember.  

[truthaboutluv]

Wait, are they discussing this with Jonathan and Drea right there? 

[LadyChatts]

Wow, Lindsey is bringing up Jonathan's name to Hai.  Kind of risky.  Not sure if Mike would be onboard with that.  Or Omar.  

Edited May 5, 2022 by LadyChatts

[vb68]

I don't know if Hai's backstory now is good for him or not.

[wallflower75]

That's definitely what it looked like, which is very weird.

[vb68]

Boy Lindsay has done a full 180 on Jonathan. That tribal must have really pissed her off.

[iMonrey]

Best thing about Covid: no weepy visits from loved ones.
