Lindsay might be too gleeful at Jonathan losing.

Eh, I'd be right there with her, tbh.

[vb68]

Mike and Jonathan to make fire?

I have to think Romeo will be loyal to MaryAnne.

No reason to question Mike about losing....I'm sure he feels bad enough.

I hate this challenge, but do like that it isn't a physical challenge for the final one.

Shut up Jeff

Wow, Jeff is extra critical tonight.

“Hey, Mike! How does it feel knowing Maryanne can handle balls slightly better than you? And she’s a seminary student! She’s practically a nun!”

I’m pretty sure that’s not accurate, but it feels like something Probst would say.

Maryanne's the only one to actually bring him in on any plans, so I agree.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Romeo relishing in his win is adorable.  

[Lantern7]

Really hoping Romeo brings in Maryanne to the final night . . .  but that might hurt her.

I'm happy he won because now he has one thing on his resume for the jury. It's not much, but better than nothing.

[Pepper the Cat]

I have never liked Romeo but now I really don’t like him. He just rubs me the wrong way for some reason

[vb68]

Romeo is looking for vengeance instead of figuring out a way to win.

[LadyChatts]

Wow, Mike wants to go to fire.  He thinks it makes him the most dangerous and compares it to being both a compliment and a curse.  

Mike's got a pretty high opinion of his chances in the end.

[Lantern7]

I think he knows there’s no way he can win. He’s a goat. Time to start goring with the horns.

[bankerchick]

Romeo seems to think he has a chance to  win.  That's adorable.

[LadyChatts]

I kind of feel sorry for him.  Omar said in his exit interviews that MaryAnne couldn't do much in the game because she didn't have numbers, and I think the same could be said for Romeo.  It did seem like the others just dismissed him and he was there as the back-up vote just in case an idol was played.  Drea especially annoyed me when she said those two didn't do anything.

[Straycat80]

Mike is a fireman so he might be a good fire starter.

Mike: You don't need practice, Jonathan. Either I beat you or I beat Maryanne and you're safe

[LadyChatts]

Jonathan is more perceptive than I ever would have guessed.  

I kind of hope this backfires on Mike, going to fire.  He seems to think this will be a big resume move for him.

[Lantern7]

Anyone remember if a fireman has ever competed in fire-making? I’m a fan of irony.

[EllenB]

Dang, did MaryAnne start that fire in like 3 seconds?

Jonathan's perceptive, but he has an inability to act correctly, based on that perception, I've noticed.

[mojoween]

Fire erupting from Jonathan’s hand and Mike struggling at first has to be a big fake-out for what is actually going to happen at the actual challenge.

[truthaboutluv]

I love the judges' stunned faces at Romeo's Immunity win.

[Lantern7]

Hai is SHOCKED seeing the necklace around Romeo’s neck.

[LadyChatts]

Wow, the jury looks pissed.  I would have expected more reactions like Hai's at seeing Romeo having immunity.

[vb68]

Please let Mike's cockiness blow up in his face.

They all keep saying he is so likeable. I can't stand him.

[Pepper the Cat]

Lindsay looks pissed

[Lamb18]

I wonder who will get the good spot in firemaking and who will get the windy spot.

[LadyChatts]

MaryAnne says she feels like she wants to vomit.  I love this girl and will miss the honesty.

I honestly want Jonathan to either win fire or have Romeo take him to the end, just to piss Lindsay off even more.  I just don't like the girl.

Usually when your a target Mike, it's because people make you a target.  You don't just declare yourself a target just because you think your awesome.

Is Peachy trying to get Romeo to give his Stuart Smalley speech here?

I actually hate the stupid fire-making challenge except for the bi-annual reminder of “we’re going to matches”.

[Lamb18]

Romeo practicing his jury speech for final tribal.

[truthaboutluv]

Jonathan wasn't even listening to Romeo and was busy focusing on the fire material, knowing he was making fire for sure. 

[Lantern7]

YES! Is it too early to think Maryanne just won $1 million?

[Straycat80]

Big mistake Romeo. 

[LadyChatts]

I am so glad this bro-mance will be over.  

[wallflower75]

YAY!  He's taking MaryAnne.  Oh sure, he's going to lose to MaryAnne, but HE TOOK HER!

[Lady Calypso]

I mean, he has no chance, either way. I'm fine with this.

In Cook Islands they almost had to go to lighters.  If even that failed, then what?  Pretty impressive if it did, but seriously, rock draw?

[Lamb18]

"I love you, man" - Jonathan and Mike to each other.

[KaveDweller]

Not sure that's the smartest choice, but I'm very glad the final three won't be Mike, Jonathan and Romeo.

[LadyChatts]

He may know he has no chance at winning, so he's taking another underdog to the final 3 in hopes of giving her a chance.  He might feel better losing to MaryAnne than losing to Jonathan or Mike.  I think Mike wins in an all-guy final 3.

You know the one who loses will bitch about it for all eternity!

Seriously, fuck Big Brother.

One of the most obnoxious, unlikable ones I've seen in recent seasons.

Eh. I’ve been good with them. 🤷‍♂️

[LadyChatts]

If there's any bright side to Survivor ending tonight, at least my summertime obsession Big Brother starts soon, where I lose 3 months of my life.

[vb68]

I have to say I like that it's two big dudes who have to duke it out. Too often it's been two women with the men including Probst smugly rolling their eyes. 

[Lady Calypso]

I don't know who I want to win fire less: Mike, who has an inflated ego, or Jonathan, who speaks down on all the women. 

[Lantern7]

“Been doing this since Season 35, when I really needed Ben not to go out right away.”

I want to say no.  It started in S35, but I don't think there has been one.

[truthaboutluv]

No matter who wins this fire challenge, I think Mary Anne's winning this thing. And looking back, it should have been clear she was getting a winner's edit. 

[wallflower75]

Jonathan's blowing too hard it seems.  And now Mike's got his going.

[LadyChatts]

I'm petty and want Jonathan to win to piss Lindsay off.

But hearing Mike talk about how he's got this in the bag and hopefully lose in the jury will be fun, too.  I honestly don't know if he could pull it off in a MaryAnne/Romeo final 3 combo, but maybe.  Jonathan I think loses easily.

[Lamb18]

Which one is sitting in the good firemaking seat?
