S42.E13: It Comes Down to This LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

After a grueling, accelerated 26-day season filled with new twists and advantages, castaways navigate their way to the final 3 and then the final vote where one is crowned the Sole Survivor.

Original airdate 5/25/22

This is your LIVE CHAT THREAD.

This is slated as a 3 hour finale.  I don't know if it's show and reunion, or just show, so this is your topic for the entire three hours.

[vb68]

Happy Season Finale everyone!

Let's go MaryAnne!

[Lantern7]

Probst: “*whackity whackity whack whack whack*”

Never change, Jeffey! I don’t mean it!

ETA: He will never admit the series isn’t the definition of relevant, and that is sad.

Can't believe it's the finale tonight :(  

I've really enjoyed this season, I hate to say good-bye to this cast.  Would love to see a good chunk of them return in the future (where I'll probably learn to dislike them lol)

I'll say it again, Probst needs a haircut.

Here we go!

[vb68]

Jeff doing his best hype workout.

[Lamb18]

Hi Jeff! He looks like he didn't wash his hair.

[Straycat80]

Finale! Can’t believe Romeo has made it this far. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yeah, they randomly have to start at a new beach for the last 48 hours of the game.

[Pepper the Cat]

Rotten move. Sending them to a new beach with no shelter.

[Lantern7]

“Omer.” You think that’ll come up in the aftermath? Probably not. 🙄

[LadyChatts]

I guess this guys didn't understand that "starting over at a brand new camp" meant "starting over at a brand new camp".

Leave it to MaryAnne to look on the bright side.  She thinks she's got a serious shot to win.

Hey, Jonathan's actually making sense in this argument with Lindsey.  

Lindsey: 'why didn't you tell me it was Omar? I was in your alliance!'

Jonathan: 'you voted for me'

[vb68]

I don't care for sending the final five to a new beach with nothing.

I don't think it adds anything.

[Lamb18]

Looks like someone hung their laundry out to dry.

That's actually how you say his name. I checked back on one of his pre-show video interviews, and it's actually pronounced that way.

“Romeo! How does it feel to get this far?” “Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” 🐐 

[bankerchick]

Am I missing something?  Lindsay is mad she's not in the alliance when she voted for Jonathan???

I completely forgot about him. I think that's why he's still there - the other players forget him, too.

[vb68]

Oh, Romeo....

[fireice13]

I think Lindsay just wanted Jonathan to admit that he kept her out of his plans and he's refusing to admit that.

[Lady Calypso]

Urg, not Jonathan with saying that another woman is aggressive when she clearly isn't. 

[Lantern7]

Oh, Romeo....

“Why the hell art you still here, Romeo?”

I couldn’t resist. 😈

[Lamb18]

Most personality Romeo's shown all season, talking about his "idol."

[Carey]

Man, Lindsay is OK, but she clinched the L in the penultimate episode.  She wanted Jon out (the whole time), and she failed.  That's too bad for her.  Jonathan may be smug, but his point is fair enough

Me neither.  I guess re-building fire, getting water, and making a shelter is essential and could drain their energy.  But what's the point?  Especially with a shortened season.

Romeo lied about having an idol.  Everyone knows Mike has an idol.  No one knows Romeo is lying or about MaryAnne's idol.  This could be fun.

Even more fun since Mike is sort of promising a tearful Lindsay he'll play her idol for her, after MaryAnne already told her Mike said he'd play it for her.

[Lantern7]

TREE MAIL! Crap poetry!!!

[Lady Calypso]

Mike keeps lying to people that he has to convince to vote for him at the end, if he makes it.

He's giving very Xander-esque vibes with the unnecessary lying.

It was completely ridiculous. I like Lindsay but she was full of shit there. She kept insisting how Jonathan was being confrontational but the only one being confrontational was her. Jonathan seemed quite calm to me and he was right, that the bottom line is she voted for him. So if things had gone how she planned it, he'd be gone. 

[vb68]

Mike is digging himself a hole with his idol.

[MerBearHou]

Sorry, not in the camp of Lindsay at all.  Jonathan calmly but firmly said “you voted for me, Lindsey”.  She wanted him to take the bait and get heated with her and he didn’t.  Her reaction drives me NUTS and I’m a woman.  

[LadyChatts]

Supposedly she's mad because her and Jonathan were supposed to be in an alliance together, and she's mad because he never told her it was always going to be Omar.  She got outplayed big time by Jonathan and that's why she's probably pissed, and now she's in a terrible position because of her bad game play.

When Jonathan smiled at her after saying 'you voted for me', I smiled, too.  He's absolutely right in that argument.  She blew it big time.

[Carey]

Can't blame Romeo for his fake idol.  Mike's like, "That's great man!" which was sorta hilarious.  It's not like Romeo has anything to lose at this point

[Lantern7]

“Sleeping giant”? Oh, snap! Ian is back!!!

[Lamb18]

I like Romeo's blue hoodie.

[mojoween]

Every time I see Romeo I’m going to be surprised that he’s still here.

[Straycat80]

An advantage this late? Just once I’d like for them to do a season of no idols or advantages. 

[truthaboutluv]

But he kept her out of his plans because he knew she, along with Omar, was gunning for him. And she wasn't willing to admit that either. So once again, she was equally full of shit. 

[Lantern7]

Oh, man. Fuck you, show. Just give the advantage to Jonathan, like Probst wants it. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[LadyChatts]

I love MaryAnne.  She's not even trying on this word scramble because she doesn't want Mike or Jonathan to get this advantage.

So if she wants to go to the end with Lindsay, would she play her idol for her?  

[momlyd]

Lindsey is going to wear herself out

SAME.  I am so tired of advantages after advantages.  I know it may seem like it makes the game more exciting, because you never know who might have an idol, blah blah.  But still.

[Lantern7]

Never mind, Lindsey figured it out. Seriously, the foot drawing made me think she’d miss it, and the editors were disrespecting her for not being a guy.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh good, Lindsay found it.

[Straycat80]

‘Slight advantage’. Wonder what that is. 

[wallflower75]

Glad she found it, but she's still got to win the challenge.

[Lantern7]

Awwwwwww. Ethan on Edge of Extinction. That was a golden moment.

[LadyChatts]

I wish there was a disadvantage that said 'anyone whose names start with J, L, and Mi are eliminated, those whose names start with Ro or Ma go directly to the final tribal council'.  I love this season, but it's saying something about this final 5 when I'm rooting for Romeo to beat everyone but MaryAnne.

[vb68]

Man, for someone who is such a competitor, Jonathan can be such a pissy bitch. So entitled.

[Lantern7]

What’s my favorite Big Brother moment? When it gets canceled. That’ll be my fave moment.

Ugggggh . . . Josh. Definition of “pantload.”

Also not looking forward to explaining TJ Lavin to Challenge newbies.

Is The Challenge: USA supposed to be like MTV's The Challenge?

Anyway, immunity time.
