S43.E05: Stop with All the Niceness LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

Two castaways get caught by another tribemate while opening a Beware Advantage. Also, one person from each tribe must take a journey together where they can risk their vote or play it safe.

So Cassidy confirms that Lindsay's paranoia did her in.  Probably threatening your alliance members right before a vote didn't help the cause.  

Wait, she said Geo knew?

[Lady Calypso]

Cassidy, who else would have written your name down? It's not like Geo wrote his own name down.

[Carey]

That's too long.  Fair enough, Lindsay sorta voted herself out.  Cassidy sorta got that right

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Geo said it was Ryan's idea to put Cassidy's name down, in case she was giving information to Lindsay?  What good would that have done, she didn't have the numbers.

[Lady Calypso]

Geo, dude, why do you think you're in the know? 

[Carey]

Man, just vote off a dude today.  No need for that record to get broken

[LadyChatts]

Elie and Jeanine are on the hunt for an idol or advantage.  And somehow a tree is "singing" to her.

Well, at least production didn't make it easy by having bugs crawling all over the tree.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh look, the first ACTUAL hidden Beware Advantage. Hooray.

Yeah, I'm not even a fan of all the women, but the men are becoming unbearable.  

[Lady Calypso]

Elie: Oh, we DEF don't need your vote! Even though it would be a 2v2 vote, at the very least, and Gabler still has an idol. But yeah, TOTS don't need that vote of yours in a tribe of 5!

Jesus, I cannot wait for Elie to be blindsided.

[Carey]

Uh oh!  Busted!

[LadyChatts]

"Let's not tell Owen!"

Just as Owen walks by and sees what's going on.

[Carey]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

Jesus, I cannot wait for Elie to be blindsided.

Would it even be a blindside at this point though

[Lady Calypso]

Elie: This isn't my info to tell...but I'm gonna tell you, anyway.

[Carey]

Huh.  Gabe doesn't know what's going on.  Might wanna make a move on the guy

[LadyChatts]

I'd rather Sami or Gabler go first.  I don't mind Elie, even if she is way too overconfident in her abilities at this game.

This would actually be telling if Sami didn't give her his bead.

Oh, I still need a man to go, and Gabler or Sami is definitely one of the ones I want gone, but I need Elie to be knocked down a couple of pegs.

[LadyChatts]

I hope Owen flips on Gabler and Sami and votes with the women if they go to TC.  Gabler is worthless at this game but thinks he's actually doing good.  And I don't like Sami so I'd like to see him be blindsided.

All of this. Not to mention that this whole tribe seems a hot mess where no one is really aligned with who they think they are - I guess other than Elie and Jeanine. 

[Carey]

I'm sorta waiting for more people to create fake beads someday

[Lady Calypso]

Urg, I really need a man to go. The thought of another woman going in a row? Leaving potentially only three women in the merge, at this rate? No thanks.

[Lamb18]

Gabler has no clue how the idol works. Now he's catching on.

Jeanine handled Gabler pretty smoothly.

[Skyfall]

All these players (over the seasons so not just singling this season out) is more afraid of the thought of an idol being used than the actual idol. The idols are rarely used as such.

Agreed.  I mean, there would be some that would argue that the opposite occurred in Season 16 & in Season 24, but people are going to fail miserably by keeping certain people around.  FWIW, Lindsay should've been the only one to survive, and the streak should've ended last week

[Pepper the Cat]

I hate challenges where people are tied together. So much risk for harm

I'm hoping Coco loses immunity.  That's probably the best bet of losing a man.  I think Owen will unfortunately stick with the guys, and Vesi Noelle is outnumbered.  She doesn't know about Cody's idol that we know of, so her steal a vote may not matter (and I think she believes she's with Jessie and Dwight anyway so she may not even use it).

[Lady Calypso]

Now, time for our predictable challenge!

Carry something, go up and down something, go get something lifted up (now, with filling a water jug!), AND THEN GO TOSS SOME BALLS!

How exciting!

I guess it's been a while since we've seen a fill this with water portion.

[dizzyd]

Based on all that, Baka better be going to TC for that to matter. They could fish out both idols now that Everyone knows about both of them 🤦🏻‍♀️ And as much time as there’s left, it should be a long TC.

Jeff loves his ball games. He likes saying "ball balls ball balls."

What's funny is that the girls think they are with Sami and that the other two guys are on the outs, but from what we are seeing the opposite is true.  So Jeanine may likely leave with her idol in her pocket because she feels confident in her alliance.  I get having an idol in play is a risk, but Gabler also has an idol.  So I think they are overthinking how powerful her idol is at the moment.

[Pepper the Cat]

Yes!,

[Lady Calypso]

And Dwight redeems himself from last week's challenge!

[PaperTree]

Yay Dwight!  Nice job Ryan!

Heart breaking loss

[Lady Calypso]

And Coco loses, thank god, maybe Geo OR Ryan will go!

[LadyChatts]

Vesi and Baka win immunity!  

Ryan is really bad at these challenges. 

[truthaboutluv]

I knew Vesi would win since they didn't even bother showing their tribe before the Immunity challenge. The editing was obvious on that one. 

[Carey]

Woo hoo!

[dizzyd]

Vesi on a roll. They needed a ball challenge like Monte on big brother. Well all that expo on Jeanine’s HII and they’re safe. Ok journey time. 

[truthaboutluv]

Vesi really is like a different tribe once they got rid of Neka.

[LadyChatts]

Geo, Jeanine, and Jesse are going on the risk/protect your vote journey.

[Lamb18]

Noelle is a beast hopping through that criss-crossed whatever you call it - platform? door?

Right now I want her to win because she's so tough and determined.

Good for Vesi getting their balls up first. 

And Ryan muffs the balls by knocking them and making them all roll down.

[dizzyd]

Whoa, didn’t see that coming that Ryan threw it. 

[mojoween]

Ryan is SO bad at challenges it’s actually kind of amazing.  He “threw” it.  Mm-hm.  Sure, Jan.

I hope this doesn’t come off as patronizing but the support the Vesey guys gave to Noelle during the challenge was really sweet.  Also, she’s a beast, to be able have that much strength in one leg.

He really, really sucks at challenges.  But he is a guy….meaning odds are he stays.

Maybe if they had kept Justine over Nneka they would still have 5 numbers.

Please tell me Ryan just gave his arrogant ass the kiss of death with that speech.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh sure, now Ryan's trying to convince us that he deliberately threw the challenge. Well if he's telling the truth, it'll be hilarious when his clueless ass is the one eliminated.

[Lady Calypso]

Looks like even Ryan is too confident on Cassidy being on the outs when it's Geo AND Ryan who are.

One of those men better be going. Ryan lost them that challenge so he should be the one going.

[PaperTree]

Killing time with this "journey".  So Ryan claims he threw it to bag Cassidy,  Time will tell.
