S43.E06: Mergatory LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

The game intensifies when the tribes meet each other at the same camp. Also, castaways must scramble and strategize before tribal council to avoid being the sixth person voted out.

Original airdate 10/26/22

This is your LIVE CHAT thread.

Time for a merge.

[LadyChatts]

Karla is the only one with common sense right here.  I feel like I'm jinxing her by rooting for her lol

And Ryan is ready to flip.

Don't worry.  I'll root against her LOL!

[Lamb18]

Ryan's a free agent now! He'll be an asset to any alliance he joins.

[vb68]

I still think Coco are going to be the odd ones out.

[LadyChatts]

Lol we go from "Cody-immunity idol", "Noelle-steal a vote", "Owen-no idol"

So wait, why is Owen saying he's not clued in as to who has what?  He probably knows more than anyone there!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I love the captions saying who has what advantage while Owen is listing what he does and does not know.

[LadyChatts]

Noelle is totally revealing Cody has an idol and doesn't even know it.

[vb68]

Karla has a real advantage here in that her idol is secret.

[truthaboutluv]

Why is Noelle talking so much to these people she just met? She just blew up Cody's spot without even trying. 

"I'm way better than I thought I would be..." Famous last words there.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I've been rooting for Elie but she's making it hard.  Thinking I'm jumping off the ship now that something is happening.

[KaveDweller]

I feel like Ellie just majorly jinxed herself.

To be fair, she only really trusts Dwight, to an extent, so I kind of get it. She's probably searching for any new allies since she was at the bottom of her tribe.

[Lamb18]

Ha! So production very helpfully made what's his name come true with the chyrons. Owen? Matthew? can't remember.

So Noelle blabs about Cody's hat with the beads . . . ha ha! Elie and Jeanine know what that means!

She's seriously playing the smartest game there.

[Carey]

No merge!

[vb68]

Elie is too cocky right now.

[Lamb18]

Gabler always looks like his eyes hurt.

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, yes, the dig something out, drag to boxes, build something, go over a ramp, and then solve a puzzle.

What a surprise!

[Lamb18]

So this is the pre-merge threshold. So this is the episode title, mergatory.

[LadyChatts]

Jeff makes sure to tell them that there's no hour glass twist that will take the winning tribe's win away.  

I still don't think the winning tribe should get a vote.  Just let the losing tribe go to TC and vote someone off.

[Lamb18]

Hurrah! Another puzzle - what a treat!

[truthaboutluv]

Glad to hear they're not doing the "smash the bottle" twist because that one was getting too obvious and predictable.

Since this cast would have been able to see the last two seasons, they probably would have picked more carefully knowing what was coming.  I know Probst is still sour at Danny over his complaints about it, but it wasn't a popular twist.

Might be the eyes

First person I believe whose eyes have more personality than the "owner"

[LadyChatts]

Noelle got the gray rock, so she will pick a tribe to join.

And Jeannine goes to the wrong mat saying "we got this!"

[truthaboutluv]

Girlfriend went to the wrong mat and she was the most enthusiastic, talking about "we got this, we got this..."

[Lady Calypso]

Noelle choosing Blue might have been a bad idea. But I guess we'll see!

[LadyChatts]

I'll laugh if that team ends up winning.

Oh, so Noelle isn't even competing?  

And Jeanine can't even vote so that might be bad for her if they lose.

[Lamb18]

Poor Noelle. She's already "different", so any easy target, but now she's under the spotlight from drawing a gray rock. Did she already pick a team? The pizza guy came so I missed a couple of minutes.

[Lady Calypso]

Noelle really should have chosen Red. Even I know that Red has better players, and with less advantages.

[Lamb18]

Jeff says, "You know you're in Survivor when you have blood!" and I add, "and get a staph infection."
 

[truthaboutluv]

The puzzle on Survivor - the great equalizer.

[Lady Calypso]

I actually hope Blue takes it. Red going to Tribal would make for a more fun episode.

[Lamb18]

Climbing up that concave wall is new, I think. That pink splotch on the blue wall looked like a big splash of blood as Jeff talks about Karla.

[LadyChatts]

Yay blue caught up!  I don't like anyone on red so I'd rather they lose.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yay, I'm so glad to be wrong about Noelle's choice!

Also, I'm excited to see who goes on Red. So many options that I'd be ok with.

[truthaboutluv]

Well Ms. "We got this" was right. Even though she said it to the wrong tribe at first. 

[LadyChatts]

Yes blue won!!!

[KaveDweller]

Does only red go to tribal, or does everyone go and vote and only red is in danger?

[dizzyd]

I actually shed a few tears at that come from behind win.

Sounds like Blue goes as well, but I'm not sure if they vote or not (since Red isn't merged yet while Blue is).

Only red to TC and whoever survives makes the merge. Nope I’m wrong

I'd be good with anyone really.  I can actually breath going into TC.  

I wonder if the knowledge of Cody's idol might get Elie to campaign against him to get the idol out of play.  I'd rather lose her, Sami, or Cassidy, but I'd be okay with Cody going.

Everyone  votes but only red is vulnerable 

[vb68]

I'm thinking Cody better use his idol tonight.

Elie smells blood. And I don't mean Karla's.

Cody going should be the only option

[Lady Calypso]

Oh wow, Cassidy gets the episode title.

[LadyChatts]

So 3 former Baka's, 2 Coco's, and a Vesi, right that are on red right?

Okay, Elie wants Cody to be a decoy and they will target a Coco member.
