This is your LIVE CHAT

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, here we go!

Welcome back!

[Lantern7]

Not the way to spell “Alpha,” dummies. 😜

Seriously, though, hoping this takes away the taste of Challenge USA.

[LadyChatts]

Happy premiere day!  

Hmm, Morriah (I think that was her name) is already acting like a discount MaryAnne with the good vibes attitude.

[dizzyd]

Survivor/TAR season premier should be a holiday. Hope this cast brings it and we have an awesome season. 

Can we please have opening creds back?!

You can see her colors from low orbit.

Cripes, another Cody?!?

Last season was good so I feel like there's a high bar to follow that.  So far no one besides Cody made me want to roll my eyes so I guess that's a good sign.

[Lamb18]

I wonder if Cody is related to Big Brother Pooch.

[Lantern7]

Okay, intros were refreshingly basic. Let’s see how Probst fucks it up!

Oh wow, you know names already - impressive. I look forward to remembering no one's name until maybe next week.

[LadyChatts]

I have to say I am so glad they have dropped the themes and just go by whatever the season number is.  

Interesting ensemble of outfits.

[Lantern7]

Earls win . . . when a last-minute substitute who never watched the show won.

Shit, Jeff, you know their names. Use them!

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I like James.  And he's an Earl fan, so another plus.

[Lamb18]

Weird guy, saying his babies were hatched.

[Lantern7]

Octopus snuffer looks rad.

It’s like Probst gets paid per word. 🙄

[Lamb18]

The amputee - I wouldn't be surprised if there are some losers who want to vote her out right away because she has such a good story.

[jsm1125]

I don’t think Karla looks like Rashida Jones in general, but my god did she resemble her in that graduation photo at the beginning of the episode.

[LadyChatts]

Probably not a good look for Geo that he's struggling already.

[Lantern7]

No forced twists . . . yet.

Somewhere, Sebastian lifts his head. “Pot?”

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, getting the flint off the pole actually looks difficult!

[LadyChatts]

Wow that was quite the comeback for the blue tribe (Coco is their name?)  I thought they were going to win it.

I'm surprised the guy on the red tribe figured out the trick first.  I knew there had to be one.

[dizzyd]

That was smart of mullet to recognize the trick to the flint. 

Edited September 22, 2022 by dizzyd

[Lamb18]

I think a tall person would do better at getting the flint.

Smart guy on Dwight's tribe.

[truthaboutluv]

lol, that's officially his name for the rest of this season. 

[Lantern7]

Morriah = RBM

Rainbow.

Brite.

Maryann.

[Lamb18]

So is the winning tribe Bessie?

There is a Baca and a Boco. That's what the names sound like anyway.

I think “baka,” which is Japanese for “stupid.”

Air TAR! Cannot wait!

I kept thinking they were saying Fessy, but I think I have too much Big Brother on the brain.  Also, there's a guy this season named Jesse but I have no idea what tribe he's on, so I was extra confused who or what they were talking about.

[DEL901]

The small woman who hopped up to do the flint retrieval….terrible choice.  It required someone with some strength and endurance with height helping too.  

[Lady Calypso]

I keep thinking Bessie's the name of a PERSON.

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, so Cody's the guy who figured out the trick, I believe.

I'll slowly learn their names!

[dizzyd]

Mullet just had a Shawshank redemption quote! Damn do I have to like him now?!

[DEL901]

Could Cody have spouted any more cliches?

[Lantern7]

Someone mentions Jonathan, Probst rises to half-mast.

The tribe IS Baka! Oy vey . . .

[LadyChatts]

So Baka (yellow tribe) gets a second chance to get their supplies.  Either complete a brainteaser as a group or two members go off alone to dig them up.  I guess blue tribe will have this waiting for them, too.

Sami right away says he wants to do the sweat where he digs the supplies up.  Owen hates that idea because he's afraid he'll get volunteered to go with him.

[Lady Calypso]

Owen: I've seen this play out the last two seasons! We ain't gonna be separated!

[Lantern7]

Okay, this bone puzzle is clever.

[Lamb18]

Wouldn't the largest whole number 9999?

[LadyChatts]

So blue tribe picks sweat.  Not sure if them realizing none of them are smart is going to bode well in puzzle related challenges.

Geo and Ryan are doing the digging.  

[Lady Calypso]

And Coco (I think) is digging because none of them are savvy.

[Lantern7]

Just now, Lamb18 said:

Yeah, but only two bones can be moved.

[DEL901]

Great.  Blue is tiring out their strongest guys with no guarantee they will be successful.   And they are separated from the rest of the tribe v

None of these people has practiced with a machete before?!  Where did they think they were coming?!

And so many of them claim they've loved the show and watched for so many years. So that really makes no sense to me. At least mullet guy admitted he only got into the show during the pandemic. 

[Lantern7]

As the guys dig . . .

”Girls’ alliance?” “Girls’ alliance!”

Looks like the guys hit paydirt!

[KaveDweller]

I feel like the trick with the bones is turn it into a 5-digit number

[Lantern7]

Pet cremator.

PET.

CREMATOR.

😳😳😳

And as you say this, Sami figures it out.

[Lamb18]

The "X" method was pretty intelligent.

They can only move two bones during the whole 4 hours? I thought it was 2 bones at a time.

Guess not!

Edited September 22, 2022 by Lamb18

[dizzyd]

Damn these guys are smart! I’m impressed. Thinking outside the box.

Six digits. Honestly, though, I thought it’d still be four.
