S43.E01: Livin LIVE CHAT

Sami and Gabler arguing at the maze.  Sami isn't impressed with his maze partner.

I almost hope they lose if Gabler or Sami goes.

Probst says those two can't panic, but they are in trouble.  Sounds like a great time to panic to me.

And Baka loses immunity.  Gabler might be in trouble, but he has his idol, so he may play that and be safe.  Not really sure who else could be a target.

“SAMI, FEELING THE HEAT! FEELING LIKE HIS CLIENTS’ PETS!!!”

[Lady Calypso]

Yes! They got it!

Sami/Gabler couldn't stop bickering to pull it out.

[truthaboutluv]

Well this is going to be an interesting pre-tribal discussion because Gabler and Sami were NOT feeling each other in this. But they all now know that Gabler has an immunity necklace.

[Lantern7]

“I’m taking the flint. And your clothes. I ain’t fooling around this season!”

[Lamb18]

Good thing Gabler has that immunity. But maybe he'll be the first to go home with an idol in his pocket.

The rest of the tribe should be flushing Gabler's idol out while getting Sami voted off.

[Carey]

Call me an ass, but I tried not to laugh but failed at those losers crying before their Tribal that's several hours away.  Yikes!

[LadyChatts]

Gabler's idol is only good for two TC, but I wish they could make him feel at ease not to play it and vote him off.

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, so who is on the Baka tribe?

Gabler, Sami, Owen, Jeanine, Elie and Morriah.

I'd want Sami out but that's just personal preference. 

[Carey]

I'd play it.  Meh; rather not be the first voted off.  With an idol, that's worth the price.  OTOH, if he plays it, he'll have to find a legit one since they'd take him out the next time

[Lamb18]

Sami the pet cremator, looks like he should be digging graves in the pet sematary. Has kind of a manic look in his talking  heads.

[DEL901]

I think the thin woman who got stuck under the log and wasted so much time will be voted out.  Unless they decide to go for the most annoying and then Sammiwill be gone. 

[LadyChatts]

I just looked at the clock, and there isn't going to be a lot of time for post-game strategy and TC.  Boring, predictable boot ahead?

And Gabler, try talking to contestants from seasons past where Jeff was flat out calling them pathetic and terrible (maybe not those words but that's what he meant).  He was treating you with kid gloves.

[Lantern7]

Okay, Gabler is clearly insane. Not Philip insane, but he’s up there.

[DEL901]

Gabler is an idiot and deserves to go home for this.  

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, but what happens if there IS no Shot in the Dark? Then his strategy goes out the window.

[LadyChatts]

Gabler is taking a shot in the dark?  He doesn't want to hide behind his idol?  He's gotta be bluffing.

Oh wait, maybe not.  Um, okay?  

[Carey]

This should be interesting.  Man, if it doesn't work, what are you doing to do?

[LadyChatts]

So rather than target the guy who helped lose the challenge and is basically giving up, they want to target Morriah for being weak.  

These people are idiots.  May they Ulong themselves.

[Lamb18]

Ha! Gabler changes his mind! So much for nobility.

[LadyChatts]

Oh Morriah, if you only knew you didn't have your girls.

[Lantern7]

“Morriah! Are you Canadian?” “No.” “Shit, we can’t use the ‘We Don’t Want Another Maryann To Win’ excuse!”

[LadyChatts]

How is Morriah weak compared to Gabler?  He admitted the challenge loss was his fault.  

Although I think Elie sees Gabler as a follower, so there's that.  But that doesn't mean he'll always follow her.

[dizzyd]

Jeanine bruised her chin pretty bad. I thought it was dirt first. 

[jsm1125]

How was Morriah the weakest link in that challenge? What am I missing?

[Haleth]

Ouch. That’s some bruise on Jeanine’s chin.

Morriah, wash your face!

It seems like they're also accounting for around the camp help?

[Lamb18]

I'd think the priority is who do you feel the most secure with and who you don't think would save you.  It always seems strange to me that the losing tribe prioritizes strength as a reason to keep someone - I mean, where was strength during the immunity challenge you just lost?

Yeah, and not only that, the reason they lost was because Gabler AND Sami couldn't stop bickering and work together.

[Lantern7]

Once again: fuck The Real Love Boat.

Hey!  Philip was a real finalist!

[dizzyd]

TC is creepy af. 

[Lamb18]

Looking at the fire Sami flashes back to the pet crematorium.

[LadyChatts]

Gabler said they were supposed to win today.  The inner mean-host Probst is showing itself a little ("supposed to win?!")  

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, the women not looking happy at the men condescendingly telling them "nah, you're wrong."

[Lantern7]

. . . in a season where Rob Mariano was handed the title on a platter. 🙄🙄🙄

[Carey]

Yeah I'm not a believer in moral victories.  Winning's winning

[Lamb18]

Does Morriah teach kindergarten? They didn't win, they lost!

Also, I used to live in Kansas City and watched many Chiefs game.  Anyone else think that Sami could be Patrick Mahomes's brother?

I was thinking that too. 

[LadyChatts]

Yeah, there was finger pointing.  Except Gabler was pointing his own finger at himself.

How do Elie and Jeanine (chin bruise aside) still look so good?  They look like they have make-up on.

[mishap]

 I would vote out Janine. The tiniest person, gets stuck?  i know that's the logic of having her do that but she either underestimated her size, or her strength to pull herself through.    That bugs me that she could not do that, without wasting so much time.  

[Carey]

Man, speaking of Boston Rob (Rob vs Philip FTC), it would've been curtains if you said that when he's around.

FWIW, the Fast & Furious Vin Diesel quote came to my mind

[LadyChatts]

How did none of these TC quotes about dating and texts not end up the episode quote?

Sure, but on the other hand, they DID catch up and it was Sami and Gabler's inability to work together that lost them the win. Neither could work together or communicate to finish their puzzle. I'd put them more at blame.

[LadyChatts]

So Gabler backed out of playing the shot in the dark.  And he didn't play his idol, either.

[Lamb18]

OK, who will our first evictee be?

[LadyChatts]

Morriah's gone.  Not sure if it was the smart move, but I guess we'll see.

[Lantern7]

RIP RBM.

Shit. Helluva way to go into TAR. 🙄

[truthaboutluv]

So much for that girl's alliance huh. I mean correct me if I'm wrong, Ellie and company did initially claim to want a girl's alliance, right?
