Oh, so Sami and Owen WERE left out on the vote. I just assumed votes were split.

[vb68]

Sami got blindsided. 

Haha

Sami is stuttering not knowing what to say.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Sami....I guess he sucks more at this game than I thought.

[LadyChatts]

That answers my question as to whether Sami knew about the vote or not.  I think Sami is digging that hole even bigger for himself.  Guess he tried making moves a few votes too late.

[Carey]

Sami is not in a good spot right now.  And FWIW, Owen's been in that spot forever

[vb68]

Gabler basically ditched Sami and Owen.

[dizzyd]

I’m actually writing this statement: gabler is making big moves and playing a good game. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Guess if it takes out jesse/Cody, then it’s ok in my book. 

[LadyChatts]

Nice timing that the episode where Owen would make a Peanuts reference comes just 4 days after Charles Schulz 100th birthday.

And way to go editors, doing a shot of Cody when Owen referenced Pigpen (Pigpen deserves a better comparison).  I guess no one left is good enough to be the “stupid kid playing the piano."  And sorry, but Jesse is no Linus.

[Straycat80]

Owen and his references to the Peanuts gang. Lol!  Include Sami in there too. 

[Lamb18]

Gabler's playing better than the others realize.

Owen, the stupid Peanuts kid who plays the piano is Schroeder.

[Kitty Redstone]

OMG I'm still laughing at Owen's comparison to the Peanuts gang.  "And the stupid kid playing the piano ...."  Ha ha hahahaha.  I love Owen.

[iMonrey]

Getting the episode title named after your quote is generally not a good sign, Gabler.

Sami: *left out of the vote once*
Sami: I FAILED!

I see Sami doesn't do well being in the minority.

[Carey]

At the end of the day, if Gabe falls and we're stuck with that duo, that would totally suck, but better him than Karla

[Lamb18]

I guess Cassidy can be Sally.

[LadyChatts]

Sami is really not taking being out of the vote well.

Not sure if telling Karla that Cassidy was the one to throw her name out first is the right move here.  Oh wait, Karla did tell Cassidy she has an idol.  Guess that isn't the best kept secret after all.

ETA: So Karla thinks that only Cassidy knows about her idol, but we know from the last episode Jesse thinks she has it, and it doesn't seem like he's the only one.

They keep emphasizing how Owen is always left out. I think he has a great narrative if he gets to the end.

Ah, yes, Jesse and Cody continue to skate by. Either they're playing stellar games or they're playing with less than stellar players.

[iMonrey]

I've never understood how anyone can stand to have a ring in their nose. What happens when you have to blow your nose? Do you take it out every time you have to blow your nose?

They've been playing a good game. Still doesn't mean I like them though.

I can not for the life of me figure out how those two are never mentioned as a potential vote.  Gabler last week is the closest we've seen to them being targeted, but for whatever reason they do just get through every vote.  I like to think it's because no one thinks they are a true threat to take to the end, but I'm guessing it's less than stellar players.  Owen is Charlie Brown'd almost every vote, Gabler may or may not have a good grasp on the game, Sami doesn't know what to do with himself if he's not in control, and that leaves Karla and Cassidy whose games I'm confused by.

To each their own.  However, I couldn't agree more.  It sucks that there was something I wasn't a fan of when it came to her.  But that's it.

Karla can do whatever she wants, but I guess she's figured everything out

I don't understand why they always get a pass, especially Cody.

His age is showing.

[LadyChatts]

It's crazy that if this were pre-COVID Survivor, 6 more days would mean we were on day 33.  At this point I feel like they were at the halfway mark in a previous season.

[Straycat80]

Beautiful sunrise! 
I hate when there’s an advantage this late in the game. 

[Carey]

LadyChatts, I'd bet that one, two, or all of them spent 90 seconds a day forgetting they were still in the game!

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, production got lazy with the advantage. 

"Just go find it."

[vb68]

Turn around Sami, you dumbass!

[iMonrey]

"Oh goody another advantage." Said nobody ever.

[dizzyd]

They all walked right by it! It’s not even well hidden.

Apparently not lazy enough lol  

[Straycat80]

This is so funny, it’s right there. 

[Lamb18]

Looks like the advantage is hiding in plain sight.

[LadyChatts]

Of freaking course Cody finds it.

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, Cody finds it.

[vb68]

Fuck Cody found it. The person who needs it THE LEAST.

[iMonrey]

OH FFS. Like Cody needed another freaking advantage.  

Thanks, show.

[Lamb18]

Rats, Cody found it.

[Carey]

Go figure.  Though it isn't that much of a game changer overall IMO

[Straycat80]

Oh great, there are going to have the water boarding challenge. 

[LadyChatts]

I wonder if Cody can pick himself.  This is kind of a dumb advantage, but I'm glad it's not another idol or the KIP or steal immunity.  Apparently the number of idols and advantages aren't enough this season, now they need to award double immunities for someone who didn't even win!

Oh wait, he picked Owen.  Interesting choice.

Edited December 1, 2022 by LadyChatts

[KaveDweller]

That's kind of a cool idea for an advantage, actually.

[Lady Calypso]

At least it's a new advantage and not KIP or something.

[DEL901]

Sami, Owen and Gabler are home watching this, kicking their own asses and being laughed at by friends and family and random internet strangers.

I kind of wanted it to be KIP….it has burned everyone who has ever had it…and I wanted Sami to be next.  

[Lamb18]

This isn't that great of an advantage. One in seven chance of guessing right or winning it. Odds are same as Shot in the Dark.

So true.

[Carey]

I have to admit, I'd sorta laugh if Cody correctly predicted himself

[Lamb18]

I also wonder if Cody was trying for the episode title quote of the week. "I'm smiling so hard I can taste the ear wax."

[LadyChatts]

I wonder if Cody is so confident in winning this challenge he just randomly went with Owen. 

[iMonrey]

This challenge seems like it should be illegal.
