S43.E02: Lovable Curmudgeon LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

An unexpected storm hits hard and fast and keeps tribes shivering all night in their shelters. Also, one castaway puts their tribe at risk of going to tribal council after failing to pull their weight in the challenge.

Original airdate 9/28/22

This is your LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Forgot this was 90 minutes tonight.  Last week kind of dragged, so hopefully this week has some more action to it.

[Lantern7]

“Say, why did we vote off Maryann?” “I can’t remember!” “Wasn’t her name Moira or something?” “🤷‍♂️“

[Lantern7]

Hecka thunderboomer.

[LadyChatts]

Baka doesn't want to have to do TC again.  Well, if Morriah really was your so-called weakest member, you shouldn't have to worry, should you? ;)

Owen also almost pooped his pants when he saw his name came up.  Sounds like he might have actually been worried and iffy if he could trust everyone?

[Carey]

The weather is brutal.  But hey!  That's Survivor, baby!

[LadyChatts]

Since a storm is brewing on Survivor, I guess it's a good time to go off topic and say that I hope all of the posters here who are in Florida stay safe!  

[Lady Calypso]

Right, Sami mentioned when it rains, he can wait for his mom reminded me that he's not even 20 yet.

[LadyChatts]

These guys are going to have a hard time making it to day 10 if they are complaining about one night of bad weather.

[truthaboutluv]

Wow, looks like tattoo guy won't make it. 

[Lantern7]

No kidding. We might out first medical DQ.

MDQ?

[Lady Calypso]

Gabler is already running out of steam on day four. That shot of him carrying the pot with Owen, he looks ROUGH.

Maybe you should have voted him out, then! Now, you're stuck with him another five days, at least!

[Carey]

While it's easy to "criticize" the folks in the comfort of my place, it hasn't been half a week.  Maybe Gabe gets it together, but who knows

[Lantern7]

I question the people this guy poses for pictures with, but he’s way better approaching people than me.

[LadyChatts]

So on Vesi (red tribe), Justine and Noelle are their own thing, Jesse is tight with Cody and Nneka, and he's trying to bring Dwight in.  Dwight has no vote for 2 TC, right?  I guess he really doesn't need his vote if he has Cody and Nneka.  That's still a majority.

And Dwight wants to target Cody.  Jesse pretty much summed up Cody in one sentence lol

[truthaboutluv]

Oh wow, time flies. As Dwight was telling his life story, I realize I remember seeing video of that little kid interviewing Michelle Obama and a few other major politicians. 

[Lantern7]

Are all Codys “characters”?

Fuck, “LIVIN” got brought up again. 🙄

[Carey]

"OMG!  I just made eye contact with someone that made eye contact with a spider!"

[Lady Calypso]

I mean, Jesse ain't wrong. He's literally the swing vote for the next Tribal since Dwight can't vote and there are two stronger pairs.

[LadyChatts]

Justine pointing out all these spiders is the exact reason I would never do this show.  She is driving Jesse kind of crazy.  He seems kind of cocky, saying he's in the driver's seat.  

[truthaboutluv]

"I'm in the driver's seat." Famous last words in this game. Especially since his thinking Cody is no threat because Cody's "so chill and just livin' is already proof of a not so smart game. Because my guess is Cody's "chill attitude" is EXACTLY to convince everyone he's not a threat, while he takes them all out.

[Lantern7]

TRLB. Ugh. At least I can watch X2 if I need a RRS fix. Without the blue makeup, I mean.

ETA: “. . . and then you shake that foot all about.”

My first thought was Cody is totally playing camp clown and trying to be the funny guy that no one takes seriously (when in reality they should be watching him more closely is probably his logic).  Also, what would Jesse care if Nneka was so mad at him for voting Cody off?  He'd have Dwight, Noelle, and Justine.  He wouldn't exactly be in a horrible spot.

[MerBearHou]

Are they learning the Hokey-Pokey?!

Meh.  I'll just watch the 1977-1986 version.  Chances are Planet Earth will not end

[LadyChatts]

Karla says that the Coco tribe is pretty united, except they really aren't.  She says both alliances at camp think she's with them.  

[LadyChatts]

Is this the second week in a row Geo got some personal content?  I know last week he had the bonding session with Karla.

If we ever witness the heat death of the universe, it’ll probably happen right before the TAR finale.

Yes, parents can still be dicks in the 2ast Century! Poor Geo.

Edited September 29, 2022 by Lantern7

[iMonrey]

I hate Geo's parents.

[dizzyd]

I actually like the personal stories, helps me engage with the cast and remember them better. 

[iMonrey]

Who got drunk and cut Cody's hair?

[CraftyHazel]

Because it must be said, you are not horrible parents if you have a gay child.  You are horrible parents if you reject your gay child.

[Lantern7]

Cody’s backstory offset by the palm hat . . .

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Cody is making me smile a little with that hat.

[Carey]

Same here.  Sure signs have meant the end several times, but that hasn't always been the case.  Win or lose. It's refreshing

[LadyChatts]

Just now, Lucas Rowan said:

So they found a way to make a Noelle segment about Cody?  Really, Show?

I was just thinking that Cody said he wanted to hear the story behind Noelle losing her leg-and then we get him talking about himself and his friend.  

I guess this explains why he is the way he is, though.

Yeah it was odd. When the segment started it did seem like we were about to get her story about losing her leg but then it took a left turn and swerved to Cody's backstory.

[Lantern7]

Is there a minimum age for curmudgeons? I don’t think Owen is there yet.

[LadyChatts]

1 minute ago, Lucas Rowan said:

So it's Owen with episode title.  I thought that it'd be Gabler.

Me too.  Yet somehow I can almost believe it with Owen?  Lol

So while Owen is moving at a snail's pace back to camp because he's being a good scout and got the water, it suddenly dawns on him that the others might be looking for the idol.

And apparently Elie and Jeanine think they are also in charge?

Edited September 29, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

...Elie, I feel like you're terrible at reading people.

Man, I so miss the prediction games I used to run (which features stuff like this).  Anyway, I agree I figured it would've been Gabe as well

[Lantern7]

Okay, Sami does have Mahomes hair . . . 🤷‍♂️

[Carey]

Man, Patrick Mahomes didn't exist when someone thought Survivor as a television show may be a thing

[iMonrey]

It looks like Sami is covered in bug bites.

[dizzyd]

Did Sami say he’s related to Patrick Mahomes or does he just look like him. Close call on the HII. 

[LadyChatts]

So Jeanine and Elie don't think the boys are playing.  Apparently they aren't being as incognito as they think they are.

Those girls may have buyers remorse getting rid of Morriah last week.

[Lady Calypso]

It frustrates me every time insecure men are shaken by women. 

"These girls are gonna stick together UNTIL THE END."

Really? I get if you feel like you're closer with Gabler/Owen, but only sticking with the men because you're afraid of the women?

Gee, where have I heard THAT line before this month?

[LadyChatts]

So Sami thinks Owen and Gabler are being underestimated.  Which, Gabler was practically throwing in the towel and saying how rough this is for him.  He said last week he wasn't going to play his idol and instead forfeit his vote to play the SITD because he felt responsible for losing.  I'd hardly say he's being underestimated of anything.

[dizzyd]

Looks like him.

Well like the old Statefarm ad had every guy going to the barber to get the Mahomes so Sami did too.

What I have never understood about this logic is that the bros do the same thing.  Yet somehow, it's not the same as the women aligning.  Why?  Anytime a guy has been asked this they can't answer it, because they know it is the same thing and they'd be hypocritical to say so.  

Bros aligning in an all bro-alliance=good, non-threatening.  Girls being seen breathing in the others direction=they must be stopped!
