[Lamb18]

Can people repeat going on the little trip or does it have to be a different person each time?

Ryan is SO bad at challenges it’s actually kind of amazing.

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.

I loved it.  Jeff was right that that is true teamwork.  Noelle is strong and can hold her own but I'm glad her tribe is there to help her along.

I agree. It was nice because I think Noelle's kicked ass on her own, but you could see the prosthetic she chose to wear was getting caught in the net so she needed their help to get down.

[dizzyd]

I hope Ryan orchestrated his own eviction. Sublime 😘 This is better than Pooch on big brother.

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

Now I'm wondering if he purposely performed poorly in the last challenge to get Cassidy out, but the vote switched to Lindsay.

[Lady Calypso]

How has nobody pointed out the first four boots being women yet? I'd be worried if I was a woman and noticed that.

[Lamb18]

What kind of weirdo is Ryan? He's setting himself to get voted out. His theatrical plot, stage-directed by him and starring him doesn't fool anybody. 

[LadyChatts]

PLEASE let Ryan go home!  I do not want to see him live another day!  And the fact that he threw the challenge to get out Cassidy would be the cherry on top of the cake.

[truthaboutluv]

I'm just imagining Ryan right now watching this episode if he gets booted tonight. Talk about feeling like an idiot.

Yes, he did.

[KaveDweller]

I worry the vote for Ryan won't be so smooth....there are 30 minutes left.

I hope that's the case but I am worried with so much time left that things will shift.

But I really want Ryan blindsided because HE'S the idiot who threw the challenge.

[knitorpurl]

Ryan used to be my favorite, but he has sunk quickly. Now he's lost his challenge skills and thinks he is a master stragegist.

I wonder if they have and they just haven't showed it.  But I feel like in other seasons this would have brought up by now.

[Lamb18]

The boat says "Tai Latte" on the side. I wonder what that means.

Good point. It's making me whatever Geo and company will do might affect things.

Or Peachy had it edited out

Yeah, this seems almost too easy.  

Now Geo is trying to get sympathy from Jeanine and Jesse so they will let him get whatever advantage there is (nice touch by falling out of the boat).  Jeanine doesn't seem like she's buying it.

[knitorpurl]

They are changing up the journey. Seems a little hard to chat much in that boat.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I love that Geo can't sell the whole "I'm on the outs!" like Noelle did a couple of episodes ago (though, in her case, she WAS....although Geo is and doesn't know it).

[LadyChatts]

Good they all risked.  Now may Geo lose his vote.

[Lamb18]

No lifejackets? what if they tip over when a big wave rolls along? 

But that big flat bottom will help keep them stable.

[LadyChatts]

Geo feels like he's protected either way.  I need Ryan to go.  They can't be setting them up this bad again for Cassidy to go home.

[Lady Calypso]

I hope Geo doesn't get the advantage. I really want him to not get it, but then pretend that he does, only for nobody to fall for it but they still vote out Ryan, sending the message that Geo IS in danger, anyway.

Maybe there is a guard boat following next to them (just out of the shot)?

Yup, his middle name is misogynist. Everyone can’t be as awesome as Phil.

I think there is always safety people out of camera range.

I remember one time when someone started to drown in a swimming challenge and Jeff called safety in. Right away at least 2 people with scuba gear swam in to help her. 

[knitorpurl]

Here we go with the stories....

Who will be convincing?

[LadyChatts]

I just realized we haven't heard from Cody this episode.  Nice change.

Damn, Jesse lost his vote.  It's all on Jeanine.  She needs this more than she realizes.

[Lady Calypso]

Jesse decides to be honest, which is a choice, but I guess there wasn't much to be done. With this Go on a Trip segment being so frequent, they all know how it goes by now.

[LadyChatts]

Of freaking course Geo got the idol. 

[PaperTree]

Ouch!

[truthaboutluv]

Looks like Geo has an extra vote or can steal a vote. That might play a part in the tribal council.

[KaveDweller]

I wonder what would have happened if Janine had lost her vote with the beware advantage, and then again with the risk/reward.  Would she have lost it for 2 tribals?

Yeah they've barely shown Vesi this episode. 

[Lamb18]

So Jeanine lost her vote at her next tribal council, but she can still use her idol, can't she?

[Lady Calypso]

I'm annoyed.

At least Baka isn't going to Tribal so a woman definitely isn't leaving but....damn, Geo's ego just grew three sizes larger due to this.

[dizzyd]

Well ain’t Geo a lucky mofo. Remind me who classically misused that advantage.

Oh yeah, I forgot he could get something else besides an idol.

That's what I figured. Plus there's camera boats.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Geo got the Knowledge is Power Advantage.

Good thing Geo has zero idea about Karla's idol.

[LadyChatts]

He got the knowledge is power advantage.  And he's telling the person who has the idol (who now doesn't have to get the information second hand).

Edited October 20, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Carey]

Meh.  Gotta play your cards right

[Lady Calypso]

Cassidy, don't worry, Geo's advantage is basically useless because we all know he would never use it properly since he's terrible at reading people. You're good!

[LadyChatts]

Cassidy needs to relax.  I get she's nervous but she doesn't need to pull a Lindsay.  Either she chills out, trusts her alliance, and they betray her, or she freaks out and has the votes turn on her.

Edited October 20, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

Despite James saying that she's turning to another Lindsay, I think Cassidy's fine. Cassidy is displaying regular paranoia; Lindsay was threatening her alliance members because of her paranoia.

I think Geo is gone tonight. Karla will ensure it.

[truthaboutluv]

So right James, "why are people so paranoid and afraid even with numbers." Like didn't Cassidy see how Lindsay panicked her way right out of the game?

[knitorpurl]

Pretty sure James' talk about Cassidy's paranoia is just a mislead. That was nothing like the meltdown we saw with Lindsey.

Everyone just needs to let it play out and vote Geo.

It'd be smart to vote him off.  It'd still blindside Ryan, and Cassidy would still have the numbers.  The merge has to be coming up here soon I would imagine.  After tonight, Vesi and Coco will have 4, and Baka will have 5.  So that's 13 castaways left.

Well here we go.  I'm no fan of Cassidy but I need her to stay and Ryan or Geo to go.  I wish there was an advantage to vote them both off.

Geo has a bad poker face.

[Skyfall]

Jeff what the heck type of question is that to start this off?
