S42.E12: Caterpillar to a Butterfly LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

Only 6 castaways become 5 in the penultimate episode. One climbs the stairway to victory and wins immunity at tribal council.

Original airdate 5/18/22

This is your LIVE CHAT thread

[Lady Calypso]

Wow, I didn't even realize this is the penultimate episode. Season's been flying by fast.

[Lantern7]

Everyone got washed after getting dirty from all the dirt raised by Drea cratering so hard.

[LadyChatts]

Can't believe there's only one more week :(

Nice to see Omar is feeling humbled by Drea's final words to him.

Lindsey bugs me.  I always felt she's kind of mean girl.  Not sure why.

[iMonrey]

I'm surprised there's another episode next week. Usually when we're down to 6 we get the two hour finale plus reunion show. I'm guessing something really odd/big goes down with the final five.

Time flies when you’re . . . having a slightly better time watching than usual.

Mike thinks he’s likable. Man, he’s not Noura-level deluded, but DAMN.

Mike tells Omar that his idol is now theirs, not just his.

Omar's big plan is to try and drive a wedge between Jonathan and Mike.

Oh, but Mike wants to cut Omar loose.  And he's telling all to MaryAnne.

This has been a great season!

Omar is getting cocky.

Oh yeah, Mike is too likable. :sideye

[momlyd]

I think Omar may be overplaying his hand here....

 

.... and there it is Mike making a move against him.

Wow, from "this is OUR idol, Omar!" to "Get out of here, Omar!"

[LadyChatts]

Well, MaryAnne may be onboard with getting Omar out.  She just told Mike about her extra vote.  

She tells Mike she'll get back to him.  May not be smart to leave him hanging.

I did not recognize Maryanne in the night vision mode.

lol, don't you just LOVE this show? Mike's right though and that's exactly what Drea was going for, making it clear only Omar knew about her advantage. The jury is seeing all that and right now they probably do think Omar is playing the best game because well, he kind of is.

[iMonrey]

Maryanne is pronouncing Omar like it rhymes with Homer. Omer.

[Lamb18]

So Omar's the butterfly. He probably identifies as Monarch.

[vb68]

MaryAnne is lowkey savvy.

[LadyChatts]

And now MaryAnne is telling everyone but Mike and Jonathan that Mike thinks he's next and is super paranoid.

Lindsey is playing the broken record of wanting Jonathan gone so she can win challenges.

[iMonrey]

Jonathan is pronouncing it Omer too. Is it Omer??

aaaaaaaand . . . challenge.

Edited May 19, 2022 by iMonrey

[Lamb18]

Lindsay, someone else might win a challenge.

[LadyChatts]

Jonathan doesn't trust Lindsey and Omar and knows they are working together.  Guess they haven't been doing as good a job as they thought keeping things under wraps.

Mike doesn't believe that MaryAnne will tell anyone about their earlier conversation.  Kind of confused, she didn't say Mike wanted Omar, right?  Just that Mike was paranoid.

It's spelled Omar but pronounced Omer.

Jonathan: "Breaking up is hard to do!" 🎶

I just don't get her "if Jonathan's gone, I'll win."  Like, way to have a high opinion of yourself.

As for challenges, I'd be MaryAnne in this challenge right now.

[truthaboutluv]

Mary Anne's just like flopping around all over the place right now. 

Okay there is a puzzle option here so that should give the others an advantage over Jonathan. 

[Lantern7]

Can hair take in calories? Maybe Jonathan needs to trim his legs. He’s not an overgrown satyr, but he’s close enough.

Lagging behind. Probst is explaining the challenge.

This is a Big Brother challenge. They should all be wearing tutus.

[vb68]

MaryAnne is really adorable in this challenge.

It takes more than beating Jonathan to even get to the end let alone win it

[Lantern7]

Holy shit, Dizzy Maryann is a whole thing.

[Lamb18]

Mike's getting his wrong.

[Lantern7]

Probst pronounces it “Omer.” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Omar is playing a good game, since he has controlled most of the votes and people don't even seem to realize this.

[LadyChatts]

Omar wins reward.  That challenge seemed kind of difficult for everyone.  

And since Jeff doesn't have some random kid to harass in the audience on finale night anymore, he breaks the 4th wall and gives a shout out to Omar's niece.  

[momlyd]

Well, how 'bout that? 

[DEL901]

Now comes the real challenge…who to bring with him…

[Pepper the Cat]

Chocolate cake and cookies may taste good but will not lead to do them any good.

[LadyChatts]

Omar picks the sweets and gets to bring 3 people with him.  Surprisingly, he picks Romeo.  Didn't see that coming.  Also picks MaryAnne.  His last choice is Mike.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I would have gone for the grilled chicken. Sustenance is way more important to me than sweets.

[Carey]

Man, I think Omar is officially on life support with that decision. Though the two he left behind is so worth a laugh!

[Lantern7]

Shut up, Probst. Please.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh that's going to be an interesting afternoon between Lindsay and Jonathan since they both want the other gone.

[momlyd]

Lindsey and Jonathan won't be crashing later today

[DEL901]

Sweets?   Not the smart choice.    And wouldn’t it be lovely if Lindsey and Jonathan decide to take the Mastermind out?

[Lamb18]

They will all barf or poo from that sugar overload. Lindsay and Jonathan will renew their bonds and conspire against the rest.

[LadyChatts]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

I get his logic that he wanted to be able to bring more people, but I agree.  It seems like it would make more sense this late in the game, especially for challenges.

[vb68]

Picking three people over two seems like a trap to me.

The two you don't pick are going to be even more pissed about it.

[LadyChatts]

My guess is Omar is going to try and plant seeds.  He probably figures that MaryAnne and Romeo are just pushovers who will go along with the vote, and he thinks he has Mike wrapped around his finger.

I'm guessing Jonathan will of course be the target, if he doesn't win immunity, and that may be why Omar didn't want to bring him.  Lindsey will probably understand, and she already wants Jonathan gone.

[mojoween]

Protein schmotein I’m taking cake and cookies.

[Lantern7]

Tai and Caleb. I almost didn’t recognize Tai without unnecessary captions.

[Lamb18]

If Jonathan and Lindsay renew their bonds Lindsay may let Jonathan win, then both can be safe.

Weird, still 3 idols left.

[Lantern7]

My fear: “PROBST IS GREAT! GIVE US CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!”
