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

[LoveLeigh]

OK I blinked. or ran for a Coke. Kayla found something when she solved a puzzle and ran across the beach to beat out Owen. What did she win or get when she found that thing? What was it? Help please and thanks.

[vb68]

I'm nervous about Jesse winning fire.

They have really played up how he hasn't won a challenge.

[Kitty Redstone]

Wonder if Jesse, et al are rethinking their decision ...

She's done a lot socially. I think the unfortunate thing about these editors is that they have no clue how to edit in social female players. Cassidy has a strong case to win, more than Owen and Gabler.

I think Cassidy has a shot against Owen and Gabler, though she might still finish 2nd.  Gabler is giving me shades of Mike last season, who thinks he is going to the final 3 (potentially) with 2 weaker players in Cassidy and Owen, assuming Jesse doesn't survive fire.  I don't know what any of those 3 have on their resume, truthfully.  I think even Owen and Cassidy realize they don't have much going for them.

[Kitty Redstone]

I haven't watched in awhile so this whole thing of the person with immunity having this much power sucks.

[Lady Calypso]

Owen has had more confessionals this finale than half of the season.

[mojoween]

I’m actually stunned that Gabler is still here.

I’m willing to bet that as blah as things are here, it’s not as crappy as what’s going on with The Challenge right now.

He’s a goat. The beard is a bonus.

[dizzyd]

Ok jesse is terrible at 🔥 looks like everyone will beat him unless he’s acting. Do they not practice before applying for the show? It’s like you have to learn to drive stick on TAR.

Cassidy doesn't think the jury cares much about who wins fire.  Sounds like she's considering Gabler.

[truthaboutluv]

Okay Jesse, for as hard as you played this game, you didn't think to practice making fire, knowing that in a Final 4, if you didn't win, you might be making fire. Because dude, your skills look pretty pitiful right now. That said, I can't help but feel like this is editing playing up to Jesse's big win at the fire challenge. 

[Maggie Mae]

Owen has been getting a winning underdog edit in my opinion

[LadyChatts]

Okay, now she's considering Owen but also is re-thinking whether whoever beats Jesse in fire might get a resume boost.  She thinks it would benefit Owen more than Gabler.

[Straycat80]

Jesse really sucked at challenges, as Jeff kept reminding us, he doesn’t seem very good at fire either so I guess it doesn’t matter who goes against him. They will win. 

[Lamb18]

A person should not depend upon winning Survivor to make their children secure, Jesse. 

[Lantern7]

“I’m gonna donate all of my money to charity.”

I think Gabler feels he’s got a shot. Poor guy.

I think that was just her holding her cards with Jesse.

[Grizzly]

Wow, Gabler wants to give the whole prize to a veteran's charity.  Man has a good heart.

Especially a PhD, or whatever he is.  His kids are gonna be fine.

[storyskip]

I’m beyond done with hearing about Jesse’s family.

[DEL901]

With Jesse trying to convince Cassidy to go against him in fire to “prove” herself, I believe maybe he is better at it than he is letting on???

[Maggie Mae]

If Jesse is in the final 3 he might not get Cody or Jeanine's vote. I don't think he's a shoe in but I wouldn't mind if he won. However I'd prefer underdog Owen 

Edited December 15, 2022 by Maggie Mae

[LadyChatts]

Well, Noelle and James seem impressed by Cassidy's immunity win.

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lantern7]

Jeannie Is still alive. Good for her.

[mojoween]

Noelle is a bobblehead.

[Straycat80]

I hate fire making. I wish they went back to the old way of just voting. I miss old Survivor. 

[mojoween]

Also I am super distracted by Cassidy’s electric socket hair.

[LadyChatts]

And Cassidy is sending Gabler to fire.

[Lantern7]

Owen gets lifted to the final day. I told y’all I suck at predictions.

[Lamb18]

Gabler and Owen are begging to make fire. That's unusual.

[LadyChatts]

I've never seen anyone look so defeated before they've even lost than Jesse is right now.

[DEL901]

I think it is jury management on Jesse’s part.

[Michichick]

Come on, Jesse! Please win the fire challenge.

[KaveDweller]

I feel like the editing was setting up a Jesse win in this fire challenge. All those tears about how he has to do this for his kids.....they don't show that when you lose and let the kids down.

[willco]

5 bucks says Jesse wins and this move cements the win for him. Cassidy should have sent Owen if she didn't want to face Jesse in the Final. Bad move on her part.

[Lady Calypso]

I actually do want Jesse to win here, but I just don't have a good feeling about that. But Cassidy made a smart move to bring Owen, so that they're tied in immunities and she has a leg up with being in on votes.

[Lamb18]

I think Gabler is in the good seat for fire-making.

Which is what's making me think he's playing for the jury. Jesse has been too laser-focused in this game for me to believe that so near the end he'd become this defeated. It's not gelling for me. 

Or I may be giving him way too much credit and he's just really that shitty at making fire. 

Edited December 15, 2022 by truthaboutluv

[vb68]

Eh, I'm rooting for Owen. I thought it would help him if he won fire. Now I'm not so sure of his chances.

Whoever wins fire has a very good chance to win overall, unfortunately.

Yeah Gabler's not winning this. But if Jesse wins the challenge, yeah it's game over. 

[KaveDweller]

Jury is rooting for Jesse

[Lantern7]

. . . and Gabler wins third place!

Having said that, he’ll probably win. 🙄🙄

[DEL901]

OMG.  Gabler killed it.

Bye Jesse. too bad so sad.

[willco]

Wow, can't believe I was wrong ! That hasn't ever happened before ! :)

[Lamb18]

Back when I was young and people good burn their garbage outside in the incinerator, my brother would make towns out of milk cartons and burn them down.

(Memory prompted by Jeff's comment that Gabler's been making fires all his life.)

[Michichick]

If Gabler wins this, then I have lost interest in the episode 

[LadyChatts]

The jury seems full of Jesse fans.  

And Gabler wins fire.  Dang, this is a very underwhelming final 3.  I hope Owen wins.
