S42.E13: It Comes Down to This LIVE CHAT

[mojoween]

Poor Lindsay only won sour grapes as a reward.

Watching Jonathan and Mike eat spaghetti was worse than watching Rob eat Balut.

. . . Hon?

I meant Jon. I corrected it, but not fast enough.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Lindsay can go tonight.  I'm over this whining from her.  She should have played her idol for Omar last week because it had to be played, and she'd be in a better spot this week, maybe.

Mike needs to just shut up.

[wallflower75]

Mike is totally screwed in this situation.  He's promised that idol to just about everyone (except Romeo, whose lie about an idol is surprisingly holding up) and he's going to piss two people off.

[Straycat80]

Mike should give his idol to Jonathan. Lyndsey is being too desperate. 

[LadyChatts]

Can I just say I'd love Jonathan to make the final 3, and Lindsay to be shouting from the jury 'I'm a better Survivor player than you!' and him responding 'then why are you on the jury?' *smiles*

[vb68]

I love that Mike's vaunted " word" is coming back to bite him on the ass!!

Maybe, maybe not.  I could see Omar flipping on her for the same reason everyone else seems to be--because she's a serious threat to win.

[LadyChatts]

Mike should have either thrown the challenge and had an excuse not to play his idol tonight on anyone but himself, or never promised anyone he'd play it for them (which is really what he should have just done in the first place).

I still like Lindsay, but I do think she's realized how badly she played last tribal and is kicking herself by lashing out at everyone else.

I get the reaction; I may not love this look from her, but I get it.

[DEL901]

MaryAnne, do not rely on Mike.  Listen to Romeo, the voice of reason….?

Watching Jonathan eat pasta is disgusting.

Given the weight he’s lost, he could’ve face-planted into the bowl and sucked up the pasta up his nose, and I’d understand.

He deserves to win. He’s been the provider of the tribe. Being the provider is how Rupert won all four times he competed. 😜

I mean, she has to, here. Either Romeo or Lindsay goes IF Mike plays his idol on Jonathan. 

[Lantern7]

The Real Love Boat. Why not title it CBS Has Run Out Of Ideas?

For a second, I thought, "WHAAAAAT?"  Then I read the rest of this comment and I'm still laughing.

[iMonrey]

We've had A LOT of Lindsay so far. Just based on editing, I'm guessing she goes. They could have me fooled though.

[LadyChatts]

No one knows about MaryAnne's idol, so she actually could play hers on Lindsay if Mike plays his on someone else.  And put her vote on Romeo to make sure the vote doesn't go to rocks.

I don't see her doing that because Romeo's such an obvious goat to take to the final 3.

[Lantern7]

Prediction: Probst closes out the season, and Omar shouts “It’s actually pronounced Oh-MEER!” before they go to credits.

[Lady Calypso]

I love listening to Maryanne explain her thought processes. 

[MerBearHou]

Jeff hasn’t asked Romeo one question.

[EllenB]

Lindsay's looking kind of bitter in front of the jury. Not good if she stays.

[Straycat80]

So Mary Ann thinks it’s ok at this point to not stick to the alliance or keep promises. She’s right. So Mike should feel that way too. 

[Lantern7]

Probably on the cutting room floor.

Oh, wait, here’s one question.

[LadyChatts]

Omar is still in the game even though he's been voted out.  His name has been thrown out more tonight than it has all season.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh, that exchange makes me very excited for Drea and Omar as judges. You can tell they're definitely the "see through the bullshit" types.

[EllenB]

Hey, Romeo's there!

[wallflower75]

"Usually the best player wins the game, but not in Survivor."  That's because the definition of "best player" isn't dependent on those damn. challenges alone.  And interesting that we got to hear a little from the jury just now.

[Straycat80]

I think this is the first question Jeff has asked Romeo. Like he finally remembered he’s there.

Those two plus MaryAnne are the players I hope come back.

[Lantern7]

OH. SHIT. Mike played his idol for Maryanne.

[LadyChatts]

MaryAnne looked like she was a high stakes poker game.

Mike plays his idol for MaryAnne.  Didn't see that coming.  Score one for Mike.  

And they actually bought Romeo's fake idol?

[pennben]

Unbelievable, just lost my satellite signal to thunderstorm. Chat, don’t fail me now!!!!!

[wallflower75]

WOW!  Wasn't expecting Mike to play it for MaryAnne.

[Lady Calypso]

Whoa, Mike plays it for Maryanne.

[Lantern7]

Sorry, Lindsay. You’ll probably come back one day.

[LadyChatts]

And no one knows about MaryAnne's idol.  

Lindsay is voted out.  Probably the right decision based on the jury's reaction.

[truthaboutluv]

So interesting - Mary Anne got Mike to play his idol for her and still kept hers that she can't play anymore, ensuring Lindsay was booted. But she probably played her enough to have earned Lindsay's vote and trust, since they all STILL don't know she had an idol the whole time. Interesting.

[Lady Calypso]

Wow, so Maryanne opted to not play her idol to get Lindsay out.

Probably a smart move and good on her resume to get Mike to play his idol on her and keeping hers while making the decision to get Lindsay out.

[Straycat80]

 But Mary Ann has an idol? She can’t play it anymore right? 

[momlyd]

Burned Mike's idol then and booted someone who needed it. That won't work well for ftc

[wallflower75]

How ironic that the first time in forever that someone keeps their immunity idol a secret--and they don't end up using it.

[LadyChatts]

Maybe Lindsay and Jonathan will return in a season like Guatemala (Stephenie/Bobby Jon) or Redemption Island (Boston Rob/Russell), where they are painted as rivals and get to take charge of their own camp of new starstruck castaways.

[iMonrey]

The first hour of this episode was THE LINDSAY SHOW so I kind of figured. Either she was going, or she was going to win.

[wallflower75]

Just now, momlyd said:

Why?  No one knows she had the idol unless she tells them.  And what would be the point of doing that now because it would piss the others off.

[Lantern7]

Thinking about it . . . should there be an incentive for not playing an idol on the last possible day? Maryanne was probably going to break hers out, but Mike played his for her. Better for her to sit on her idol.

[KaveDweller]

Smart of Mary Anne to not make a big move just to save someone who could beat her.

But too bad everyone didn't see she had a second idol

[LadyChatts]

Lindsay's out, but it actually doesn't seem like she's too bitter.  Just disappointed more than anything.

I noticed she said tonight she didn't realize she was getting played by Omar like everyone else did, so I think these past couple of days were probably a lot of reflecting on how sticking with Omar and not taking out Jonathan sooner screwed her game.  Omar was good, I'll give him that.

Crap, I’ve been spelling “Lindsay” wrong the whole time.

At least you weren't spelling it "Lynze." Was that Mike's invention? Or Romeo's? It was one of the cast's lesser lights.
