S43.E13: Snap Some Necks and Cash Some Checks LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Okay, at least this is a puzzle that's stumping them.  

And Charlie Owen Brown wins!

[Pepper the Cat]

Well done Owen

[dizzyd]

Glad Owen won, took his frustration out from missing the advantage 

[truthaboutluv]

Aww Charlie Brown finally caught the ball. 

[DEL901]

Yeah Owen!

[Lantern7]

Owen wins. Karla is boned.

It would’ve been hysterical if Gabler won.

[LadyChatts]

Owen picks Cassidy to go on the reward with him.

Owen didn't need no stinking advantage!

[mojoween]

Ok team now you’re all mad at Cassidy, so vote her ass out.

I'm surprised it wasn't Gabler.

[truthaboutluv]

Jesse reminds me of Tony's first season - great player except when it comes to the challenges. 

[Lamb18]

Good for Owen! I was hoping Cassidy would win, but Owen's OK.

Now the other three will conspire to kick out Cassidy.

[Straycat80]

Jesse has an idol so Karla and Gabler might be gone at TC.

Me too, or even Karla since she beat him out for that advantage.  I thought he might as a good will gesture since the advantage didn't really help her in the challenge (Owen and Gabler started on the puzzle almost as soon as she did).  I'd say maybe he doesn't want to give any of the others a fuel boost, but Cassidy has actually won immunities.  Just a surprising choice.

[Maggie Mae]

For someone complaining about a 'busted ankle' Karla sure seemed fine in that challenge. Just sayin' 

Oh...and Go Owen!

A little behind but my biggest laugh of the season was after the mad rush for the advantage clue was resolved, they cut to Gabler still working on the puzzle and asking “what’s this word?”

[Lantern7]

Oh, right, Phil Keoghan’s other show that should get more love . . .

[LadyChatts]

So Owen's logic the last episode was pitting the two girls against each other, so I'm guessing he'll get in Cassidy's head more about Karla.  And Jesse and Gabler will probably talk with Karla about gunning for Cassidy (because they don't really have anyone else to strategize about kicking off).

“Jeff has outdone himself this time!”

Owen. Buddy. Probst doesn’t do prep work.

[Lady Calypso]

...Cassidy is your dear friend, Owen? Since when?

[Straycat80]

This Lingo word game show is like WORDLE. 

I knew Cassidy would go after Karla. It would be smart to take Gabler to the end, he probably wouldn’t get any votes. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Gabler looks like a skeleton

I’d say Wordle is like Lingo. Lingo has existed for many years.

I'm thinking Owen believes he can beat Cassidy in the final 3.  She just brought up that she thinks Karla will get credit for the moves she's made and doesn't understand why, other than the jury just doesn't take her seriously.  But she also said she hasn't played a flashy game with big moves.  So she might not be a jury threat.  But how is Owen?  The best he can do is make an argument that he's been playing the role of Charlie Brown all season.  Which, if there are Peanuts fans on the jury, she should be good.

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[KaveDweller]

I like Karla, but is she really such a big threat? I feel like Jesse (and Cody) controlled the game the whole time.

[LadyChatts]

So Jesse and Karla want to take out Cassidy.  Now Karla is talking to Gabler and wants to vote out Jesse.  Gabler wants to sit next to Cassidy and Owen in the end because he thinks he has a better chance of beating them.

Karla is making perfect sense as to why they should vote Jesse, but Owen feels Karla is a bigger threat.  

[Lamb18]

This is funny. Gabler, Karla and Jesse say Cassidy but they really want to vote out someone else.

[Michichick]

Why the heck does Gabler think he has a shot? I like a positive attitude, I guess!

[mojoween]

If Karla and Jesse go out back to back, Owen would be the only acceptable winner.  IMO.

[Straycat80]

Is this the last TC Jesse can use his idol? 

[LadyChatts]

Jeez, since when did Cassidy turn mean girl?  Karla is actually making a very solid argument. 

Except when she just told Cassidy she won't vote for her if she's on the jury, and that the moves before the jury were all her and James.  Yeah, Karla does not have a good social game.  

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lamb18]

Oh oh Karla, she's playing in panic mode.

I think so.

[Straycat80]

Karla and Cassidy are both mean girls. Kind of rooting for one of the guys now.

In all fairness, I'd say next to Jesse he's probably a better choice.  Owen and Cassidy haven't done much.  Karla does not have a good social game, and I think would get eaten alive as soon as she starts realizing the jury isn't buying what she's selling.  I'm confused why she's such a threat?  You almost want her to keep talking.

But while I want Jesse to win, as I think he's earned it, Owen would be my second choice because I think he's a nice guy, and has been a big underdog that defied the odds.  I don't think I'll remember a Cassidy win by the time next season starts.

I've thought that since the beginning. 

[LadyChatts]

Jeanine's face when Jesse whipped out her idol.  I think her face is frozen in that expression.

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[mojoween]

Jeanine is just flabbergasted.  Everything is just SHOCKING to her.

[Lamb18]

Jeanine's face!

Lesson to all future Survivor contestants: do not give anyone your idol to hold.

[Michichick]

This tribal is hilarious. 

[LadyChatts]

Damn, we almost made it through a whole season without a live tribal.  At least these were side bars and not a game of telephone.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm ok with this live tribal because we haven't had it happened this season. It makes it fun to watch when it's rare.

[LadyChatts]

Jesse should have waited until after the vote to reveal his idol.  He could have totally dictated how the vote went.

[truthaboutluv]

Interesting they showed Karla start writing Cassidy's name but stop and looks like she shifted her vote to Jesse for whatever reason. 

eta: Oh that's why she wrote his name down. Just so he'd have a vote. 

Edited December 15, 2022 by truthaboutluv

[Lamb18]

Aw, we've had whisper-free tribals all season and now we have this crap in the last episode.

[PaperTree]

Don't they play the idol after the votes a cast?

[Lady Calypso]

Yes and no. He takes a risk on the vote not going his way, since it's up in the air on Jesse or Karla. I kind of get it.

[vb68]

Karla finally got got.

[mojoween]

Fuck that shit.  PLEASE Cassidy do not win immunity.

So was Karla like done or what?  Why was she like “yep you all voted for me I’m good”.

He wanted to make a bigger moment of it, so everyone realizes how long he had it and how he got it.

Karla seems to not be too bitter. This season everyone seems like good sports.
