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

[mojoween]

Oh!  I forgot the final finale also needs “my question is you suck”.

Noelle answering Owen’s question for him was curious.  This jury is rather mouthy.

[dizzyd]

Alligabler, nice! 

[blitheone]

Waitaminute, Jesse is barely scratching out a living for his family? But he's a PhD candidate from freaking DUKE UNIVERSITY!

[mojoween]

I bet that PhD course at Duke is expensive as hell.

[LadyChatts]

I guess Cassidy sees this is going too well so she tries to shake Gabler's confidence.

Also, what is it with the jury helping the final 3 answer their questions or say 'that's what you meant, right?'  No cheating!

PhD candidates don't make much money at all...  Maybe $40k tops.  With a family that's pretty much nothing.

[Straycat80]

Ok let’s get to the vote because now the finalists are asking each other questions.

And things will be tough for a couple years while the student loans are paid off, then it's gravy.

[LadyChatts]

Okay the jury must have their minds made up because they like hearing themselves talk more than the final 3.

[momlyd]

Can we vote now PLEASE 

[LadyChatts]

So didn't they use to have the jury ask questions based on the tagline for Survivor (Outwit, Outplay, Outlast).  Or did they stop that?

And not that I'm complaining, but has Cody done any talking?  I feel like it's been all Karla, Noelle, Jesse, and James.

That happened for a few years as Jeff tried to steer the jury from their usual bitter filled rants. I guess it’s gone now 

[Lady Calypso]

I love Jesse's questions; they're very thoughtful and well worded.

[dizzyd]

For someone that talks as much as Cody I can’t believe he hasn’t said a word. This trio does talk a lot. I’ve heard enough. 

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I like this question from Jesse.

But let's get to the vote.  This is boring.  I felt like this night couldn't get more underwhelming than it already was, but this final 3 is just there.  I feel like they are all just making the same arguments.

So Cassidy just made the jury annoyed by claiming credit for something they did 

Does Sia still hand out money?

I think all three of them are doing great. They seem relaxed, honest, humble when they need to be, proud of the right things….funny, sincere, realistic about how they played. 
 

I think they all are doing about as good as they good. 

[Lantern7]

So. Much. Talking. Can they vote now?!?

All the answers they're giving are the same.

Owen: I was on the wrong side of the vote and made mistakes.

Cassidy: I was in on every vote!

Gabler: I was with everyone and aligned with everyone!

[EllenB]

I wonder if Owen is being TOO self-deprecating, and coming across as undeserving. 

[vb68]

Nobody really ran away with it.

I definitely see a split vote coming.

That was honestly the most exciting thing that happened.  She seemed surprised by that revelation.  

[Straycat80]

Let’s get to the vote, announce the winner and watch 100 more commercials and be done. 
I hope next season is more exciting. 

[Lady Calypso]

I'm bored and don't care who wins. 

[bankerchick]

I'm gonna say Owen.  A vote or two for Gabler and none for Cassidy.

[Maggie Mae]

I may be an outlier here but I like this jury format. It's hard to predict the winner but I think it's Owen.

Lol yeah I went back and edited my post to say this.  There's no variety there.  I guess I was wrong that they had nothing, they just all had the same thing.  But nothing exciting.

I thought that was a good final tribal. Good questions, each finalist had opportunity to speak and everyone respected each other. Especially the finalists respected each other and weren't continually interrupting and talking over each other.

Now for the vote!

[Weavertoo]

Could Gabler tell the jury that he plans on donating the entire prize?  That might earn him a few votes in a season with three undistinguished finalists

I think Owen put himself down wayyyy too much. I think he lost a vote or two with how little he said about what he actually did.

I think his honesty may just give him the win.

Interesting, I felt like the jury couldn't shut up with each other and I feel like they already walked into tribal, knowing who they planned to vote for so it felt like this final tribal was pointless. None seemed like they were on the fence with how much they interrupted each other.

[LadyChatts]

I hope Owen wins.  That would be somewhat redeeming.  I really don't know how it's going to go, but I hope it's not a blow out vote.  

[Lantern7]

FINALLY.

I like the format too. Seems like a more genuine exchange. But I think Cassidy takes it

I've never seen a jury care less.  Noelle "hey I'm a paralympian!  Oh and Owen, this is how you should answer James's question."  Jesse "hey, I study political science!"  Jeanine "hey Gabler, you were wrong, I actually went through your bag!"

[bankerchick]

They were certainly all on the Jesse train at the fire-making challenge, so my guess is that they all factored Jesse's opinion into their new favourite.

[Lantern7]

Dammit, Cody! This isn’t about you! 🤦‍♂️

[LadyChatts]

So we've seen one vote for Cassidy, one vote for Gabler.  I hope Owen gets some votes.  I want him to win, but I'll be sad if he winds up with none.

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

James votes Cassidy.

Karla votes Gabler.

We don't see a vote for Owen but it may not be a 0 vote finalist situation.

[mojoween]

I know she’s doing it for a special reason, but I am looking forward to never seeing Cassidy kiss that necklace ever again.

I don't see why he couldn't, and I am surprised he didn't.

[Lantern7]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh....ok. Hmm.

[LadyChatts]

Wow 4 votes Gabler.  And he wins!  Did not see that coming at all.  Cassidy looks shocked.  

Edited December 15, 2022 by LadyChatts

[dizzyd]

Lol to whoever called gabler to win. This really was a I don’t care vote by the jury.  I surely didn’t care who won. Glad this boring season is finally over. There were a few good moments like the last gasp challenge and last weeks TC. 

Edited December 15, 2022 by dizzyd

Gabler?  Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Well there's a shocker!

Holy crap! Never thought it would be the allli-gabler lol

[momlyd]

I like the reading at the last tribal. Please keep this and how is Gabler getting so many votes?!?!

Holy shit
