Karla played it safe.  Dwight and Gabler risked.

Who won over age fifty?

I believe it was Bob in Gabon.

I wanna say Bob & Tom, but I'll be as safe as Karla and stick with Bob

Feels like there have been several winners over 50.  I guess not.  Maybe 40+, but I don't have the info in front of me

I think it’s just Bob Crowley.

@Carey: I think Tom was early 40s. Silver hair might’ve thrown you off.

At least it wasn’t stupid phrases. Hope that’s not back this season.

Actually, he IS correct. One winner over 50, the next oldest was 41.

Smart of her to do, especially when they revealed it in front of each other AND the fact that she could have lost her vote very easily.

She also made the correct assumption that one of them could be a target if they are found out to have the advantage (and the other one possibly screwed).  I like how she kind of dismissed the idea that Gabler might be at the merge.  She doesn't sound like a fan lol

So there's a twist this time-they draw cards, risk or no risk, and reveal them right in front of everyone.  In a bag they have a 50/50 chance of losing their vote or getting an advantage.  I guess they still find out at TC?

Karla took no risk, Gabler and Dwight took risk.  One of them gets the advantage, one loses their vote.  Do I have this right?

That sounds right.

This cast would have seen S41 and I think at the least the beginning of S42, so they would know about the phrases.  I assume anyone who watched would pick up on random things about bunny rabbits and butterflies.  So they probably switched that up, too.

[Lamb18]

Gabler's shoulders and pectorals tattoo is rather overwhelming. Kind of like he's wearing a tatoo shawl.

Kind of deservedly, @Lantern7.

Awwww, I liked Bob.

Anyone else get mad seeing commercials for The Real Love Boat? Just me?

Since there was a Jonathan mention, yes, this cast saw at least part of 42, if not almost all of it.

Oh, so they DIDN'T get fire going...until Justine finally did it. Good for her!

[CraftyHazel]

I actually don’t actively dislike anyone yet.

Not the same without Gavin McLeod and Julie. Just a sorry and probably sleazier imitation.

[Lantern7]

Why is Dwight spilling details immediately?

And Gabler is gabbing too. WTF?

Edited September 22, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lady Calypso]

Cody: I don't believe his story.

Narrator: Dwight was, in fact, telling the truth.

[LadyChatts]

I should have waited a few minutes, Dwight just confirmed they've seen S42 lol  

So Dwight tells everyone that he risked his vote and may or may not have an advantage.

Apparently Cody isn't buying his explanation because Dwight was too dry when he came back.

And Gabler is spilling, too, though I don't think either of them said they might lose their vote?

[Lady Calypso]

Gabler cheering so loud so everyone knows he has an advantage lmao

Sure, that'll work out REAL well, Gabler.

[Lamb18]

Cody, Pooch's spiritual brother, making things more complicated than necessary.

[LadyChatts]

Oh damn, Gabler got an immunity idol that is good for the next two TC.  Apparently the cheering from his tribe makes them think it's a team idol? 

And Dwight tells his tribe that Gabler has something, so this may put a target on his back even if his idol may be no good by that point.

Edited September 22, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lantern7]

Gabler whooping it up . . . that’s a choice. Maybe it’ll work for him . . . but I imagine Production watching with jaws agape.

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, Lucas Rowan said:

So Gabler's risk paid off, while Dwight's didn't.  Gabler got a two-Tribal-Council Immunity Idol, while Dwight lost his vote for the next two.

Oh, that's REAL good for Karla because there's a chance that, if they drew from the three bag that two of them would have lost their vote for THREE tribals, which is not good.

Just now, Lucas Rowan said:

They already knew that he either had or lost something.

Could have lied, could have figured out a way to tell everyone.

But nope, he shouts and cheers loudly, letting them know immediately that he has an idol.

[dizzyd]

Is this the season where idols are not hidden in the name of trust? They definitely didn’t see the end of 42.

I’m pissed because CBS is shoving TAR to 10 p.m. for what’s probably going to be “Love Island, but on a boat.” 😡😡😡

[jsm1125]

Uh Cody, after being in the sun for an hour and a half, it’s absolutely possible to be completely dry.

I believe the 43 cast saw the pre-merge of 42, but filmed 43 during the airing of the post-merge of 42.

Ditto.  Though I lost power and service at 7:55 so I can't say I'm that upset.  Just sorta pissed since Survivor opened the CBS lineup

[Haleth]

So everyone on Gabler’s team is cheering for his idol. Dudes, you realize that that means the odds just got worse for you all?

The guy is from Hawaii.  You think he of all people would understand how being wet and in the sun work.

[Lantern7]

Wait . . . this is two hours long, and TAR’s premiere is only one hour?!?

Fucking CBS.

Bright side: Probst isn’t going Johnny Knoxville on us before a challenge. Yet.

Edited September 22, 2022 by Lantern7

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, so a single elimination here.

[Lantern7]

Humanoid tribal idols! Unique!!

[dizzyd]

Beautiful idols.

[LadyChatts]

So the loser not only goes to TC but also loses their flint.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I really didn't need the slo-mos of people crawling through the mud.

Everyone's even right now.

[Lamb18]

Idols look like someone put some effort into making them.

[Lantern7]

I kinda wanted one tribe to leave a stage early because they forgot their name.

[truthaboutluv]

Btw, are they back to the regular 39 days or are they still doing the reduced 20 days or whatever it was the last two seasons?

[Lamb18]

Gabler looked freaky with mud covering his face. Like the guy in the horror movie who wears a goalie mask.

[Carey]

Nope.  26 Days

Reduced 26 days, probably for the foreseeable future.

[Lamb18]

I know a cat named Coco.

[truthaboutluv]

lol, at the one guy telling James to get his pants on. Yeah dude needed some tighter pants. 

[LadyChatts]

Wow Jeannine is really struggling.

Probst said in an interview that the 26 day season is here to stay.  That could always change, but I kind of doubt it will.  I thought we might see a difference in the quality of the season, but if they hadn't told us they changed the amount of time they were out there, I would have never noticed.

With the pandemic now declared over, it might go back to thirty-nine again.

No, Jeff has come out to say they have no plans to return to the full 39 days.

Morriah has a future pitching color-guarding detergent.

It might, but maybe during the 2025-2026 TV Year.  Anything that saves $$$$ usually holds.  I'm okay with it if the show produces a season with a complete feel

[Grizzly]

Ryan could be this season's Jonathan with a better personality.

[Lady Calypso]

And Coco finishes!

[truthaboutluv]

These guys are trying to rush this and you can't rush that challenge. Yes, you're trying to be first but rushing isn't going to work. 

[Lady Calypso]

Yes, I hope Jesse/Noelle get this.

I want Sami to go first.
