S43.E07: Bull in a China Shop LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

In a game where knowledge is power, one castaway risks sharing their “knowledge” with a few too many people. Also, another castaway tries to recover after a complete blindside at tribal council.

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, interesting start to the episode.

[vb68]

I can hear Elie chanting at Loser Lodge with her big eyes, "vote off Gabler!"

[Lady Calypso]

Aww, Noelle.

[LadyChatts]

Jeanine is telling anyone who will listen that she can now play her own game and isn't tied to Elie.  

[Carey]

Basically that's more of everyone "telling her she's probably done" without telling her she's probably done

[LadyChatts]

I feel like "Gabler makes me nervous" is the theme for Baka.  Yet, here he still is.

[iMonrey]

So now they're Gaia, huh? Remember when they used to show them picking a new name and making a new flag? What's even the point of having a new tribe name at this point?

[vb68]

I don't see how Jeanine can trust Sami and Owen.

[LadyChatts]

Gabler is telling Cody that his idol is now expired.  So much for using it as leverage even if it was no good.

And now Gabler is referring to himself as an alligator.  

[Lady Calypso]

Oh sure, Gabler, of course you'll fade into the background. Sure.

Oh, pairing up? That's interesting twist.

[vb68]

Dividing up into pairs is interesting.

[DEL901]

Well, isnt this interesting.  They don’t know which skill set is most valuable.  

[Pepper the Cat]

Drawing rocks? 

[LadyChatts]

The clue mentioned immunity, so wouldn't this be for that?

I think drawing rocks probably is the fairest, and doesn't put a target on someone's back.  Although I miss the days when people would say they wanted to be paired with the strongest person and dug their heels in over it.

[iMonrey]

Ugh another twist. I'm so tired of them screwing around with the game. The game is playing the players.

[Carey]

Fairplay would have a better chance at staying invisible than Gabe HAHA

[Straycat80]

Where did the rocks come from? 

[MerBearHou]

Huh, where did those rocks magically come from?

[DEL901]

Drawing rocks…clever to ensure no feelings are hurt.  

[Lady Calypso]

Drawing rocks for pairs is SUCH a huge risk. I don't think that's a good plan. Why put your game in the fate of a rock draw? 

[vb68]

Still trying to decide who I'm rooting for to win.  I don't have a favorite at all this season.

[LadyChatts]

Poor Owen.  He's partnered with Gabler.

[dizzyd]

Pretty necklace

I love Karla, but that might turn out to be bad, seeing as the women have been dropping like flies.

I agree, but also demanding to partnered with the strongest person or not wanting to be partnered with the weakest would likely put a target on someone's back.  I am sure no one really wanted to draw rocks, but went along with it.

And so this is an immunity challenge, but only one person wins.  The whole pairs thing is stupid.  Why not just have them run four at a time or something and whoever finishes first moves on to the end?

[Pepper the Cat]

That’s a scary looking necklace!

Neither do it.  Feels like I have to bet on someone to build interest

[LadyChatts]

I worry about Noelle, too.  I think she might be more vulnerable than Karla.  I'd be okay losing Cassidy or Jeanine if a woman did have to go.

[Carey]

Man, what an IC!

[LadyChatts]

Oh god I would be so bad at this first part.  The women seem to be struggling.  Who said their hair was caught?  Karla?

[vb68]

That net is insane!

[Pepper the Cat]

Poor Noelle is really stuck.

[Straycat80]

That has to be awful stuck in a muddy net! 

[LadyChatts]

So Cassidy and Karla are the only women to move forward.

[MerBearHou]

I would have nightmares forever after that muddy twisted net.  Wowww.

[Carey]

Man.  Tough to watch.  Probst said it best with the assistance there.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, that sucks for Noelle and Jeanine. Very sweet to see them all helping them out.

[dizzyd]

That net was a really interesting “twist”

[Pepper the Cat]

That was brutal.

[iMonrey]

I am not amused with this net in the mud challenge. I'm sure they thought it would be funny but it's not. Why must every challenge be some sort of physical obstacle course?

[Lady Calypso]

I can get why Noelle felt defeated. It did seem like her prosthetic got stuck in the net too.

[mojoween]

Jeanine was stuck too…

[Maggie Mae]

That net was brutal!

[Michichick]

That felt sort of patronizing to Noelle. Also, Jeannine was giving it her best and nobody was applauding her.

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, mojoween said:

Jeanine was stuck too…

Yeah, I think the weight of the mud didn't help either woman. The net stuff was fine, but it was the inclusion of the mud that screwed them.

I agree.  I would be hesitant to wear it even if I won immunity.

I didn't enjoy it, either.

yeah but her part, Jesse, also took forever. So some of that is on him.

[iMonrey]

Bottom line, nobody's fate was in their own hands. They were tied to someone else's performance. 

[LadyChatts]

I would be horrible at this part of the challenge, too.  So Cody and Dwight are moving on.  Can't say I'm surprised.

Oh damn, Karla and Cassidy almost had it but Karla fell.  Of freaking course Gabler and Owen move onto the last part.  Hoping anyone but Gabler wins.

Ryan isn't taking the loss well.  I really don't think he's so good at this game.
