S44.E01: I Can't Wait to See Jeff LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

TBD

Season premiere.  Original airdate 3/1/23

This is your LIVE CHAT

[Lady Calypso]

And here we go!

Oh, weird, we start with a very candid first confessional! 
 

[LadyChatts]

Well, this is a different kind of opening.  

Okay, everyone's cruising in on boats-now it feels like Survivor!

Oh god, Carson is one of those types superfans.

[Carey]

An out of nowhere confessional.  Pretty decent start I suppose

[Lantern7]

Okay, that was weird.

It’s either this or watching Turbo calling out “pussy chickens.” This is the right call. I think.

Brainy guy doesn’t make it to the merge. Just a feeling.

”Yam Yam.” Oh, he’s gonna be a lot.

[Straycat80]

Here we go! Why do those boats look so ancient? 

[LadyChatts]

I wonder how Yam Yam will feel in about 10 days when he hasn't been able to brush his teeth and his bowels get backed up so he can't even poop in the bushes (much less the ocean).

[dizzyd]

No I’m not here to see Jeff, he’s the most annoying part of the show. Damn, Yamil with the title quote, watch him end up being the winner. This better be a good season. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I forgot how much these shots annoy me. 

[Lantern7]

Let’s see how far this season subsists on past clout! 🤦‍♂️

[LadyChatts]

I don't know who just feel getting out of the boat, but that would be me.  

My head is already spinning listening to this cast and we're only three minutes in.

[iMonrey]

I don't know why they chose Carolyn to open with but it sure made her look dumb.

[Carey]

Past clips of the show? Never get old

[LadyChatts]

Michaela's blindside during S33 will never get old.  And they need to bring Jay back when they do a returning player season again.

[Lantern7]

Damn, this is a trip down Memory Lane.

Probst is probably at full mast now. Day One is always special.

My mother’s name is Fran. I don’t think I’ve seen a Fran on a reality show.

Jay Starret? I think The Challenge has his soul now.

[iMonrey]

Teams look fairly even, they each have a big guy and a nerd.

[DEL901]

I checked and this season’s Canadian is Kane.  I’ll give him a chance, but I can’t see 3 Canadian winners in a row (last season didn’t have ant Canucks so it doesn’t count in terms of streaks).  

[Pepper the Cat]

An injury already?

 

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, the classic “running, puzzle and throwing” challenge. 

[Lantern7]

Blood. On the first challenge?!? Holy crap.

[LadyChatts]

Holy crap, injury already!  Dramatic slo-mo and music to go along with it.

[Carey]

That was...oh dear.

[EllenB]

Oy.instant casualty.

[Straycat80]

WTH.  with the slo Mo scenes, it’s like dragging this out. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, ouch, two seconds in and we have an injury. 

[KaveDweller]

That is a lot of blood on that guy's head.

[Lantern7]

“You okay, Bruce?” “Yeah, the mud should heal the wound in a jiffy.”

[LadyChatts]

That injury doesn't look good to me.  Maybe call a time out and at least let him clean the mud off his face.

[Straycat80]

Bruce are you OK? That’s a lot of blood. 

[iMonrey]

Jeepers this guy's got blood running down his face and they don't stop to check him. This is what happens when all they do is these brutal physical challenges.

[DEL901]

I looks like that pit is full of brownie batter.  

[Lady Calypso]

Oh joy, all this mud ten minutes in. Sure, it’ll make it easier to learn who is who. 

[LadyChatts]

Oh wow, this is not good.  Bruce is down and medical is being brought in.  He must have hit his head hard.

[Lantern7]

Has Medical ever broken out on Day One?

[Straycat80]

Poor Bruce. Thank God they finally got him medical treatment. That has to suck, barely into the game and a major injury. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, this is terrible. Poor Bruce; this is why they need to chill on these physical challenges right off the bat.

[iMonrey]

Adding insult to injury . . . Probsts hovering over this guy yammering nonstop. He even has to narrate medical.

[DEL901]

First episode, 12 minutes in…that’s a record for calling medical. 

[Carey]

Looks like he's okay.  Bruce taking Probst's line (and Jeff is okay with it)

[LadyChatts]

Wow, Probst must be a different kind of happy last season.  He let Bruce say his line to get the challenge going again.

[Pepper the Cat]

 Glad he was able to stay. He looks like a good player

 

[Straycat80]

Did they just stick a band aid on his muddy head?

I see there's no mad as hell response emoji. Rats.

[Lantern7]

Puzzle AND a carny game!

[mojoween]

I just started but I wanted to say HELLO FRIENDS I have missed you!  So happy to have the show back!

And Carolyn what the fuck?  Never seen the show before or what?

[LadyChatts]

And Carolyn already took her pants off to help her in the challenge.  Not exactly sure the point.  But I feel like we're getting everything that happens in a Survivor season condensed to these opening 15 minutes.

[Lady Calypso]

To be fair, when you’ve never done a confessional, I bet it’s nerve wracking and you would need pointers. 

[KaveDweller]

Can they not swap someone out for Caroline?

[Straycat80]

I predict Carolyn doesn’t get far in this game. 

[dizzyd]

Carolyn looks like she’s at the park. Just send her home.
