S44.E03: Sneaky Little Snake LIVE CHAT

[Lantern7]

“My idol rocks! Wait, why is there an etching of Jeff mooning me?”

[truthaboutluv]

Danny keeps saying his goal was to get people off his case but WERE they looking at Danny? This is the tribe who last week were casually laying around and calmly going, "oh is Danny off alone again. He works so hard."

Like these fools didn't even seem to consider that Danny was searching for an idol. So I'm not buying this, "get them off my back" excuse from Danny. Seems more like a superfan who is just trying to play a way too clever for his own good game.

What's the worst that can happen if she eats a worm? Well the dirt on the worm might give her parasites or maybe E Coli or some other intestinal disease.

[Lantern7]

Oh, right. Matt is doing a bamboozle as well. 🙄

[LadyChatts]

Jamie found Brandon’s re-planted idol.  Of course Matthew had to be there to see it.  
 

Oh wait it’s worse.  Matthew actually found it and also pulled a Danny and planted a fake one.  He can go anytime.

[Lady Calypso]

And, and now Matthew is tricking Jaime with a fake idol.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh joy, someone else hiding fake idols and someone finding it.

[Pepper the Cat]

I’m gonna need a spreadsheet soon.

who has an idol.

who has an advantage.

who has a fake idol.

 

[iMonrey]

I mean, isn't it enough there are so many idols and advantages and twists, now the show is deliberately handing out fake idols just to make us laugh. So from now on when someone finds an idol they'll be like "Well, I think I found an idol, but it might be fake." Yet another twist that makes it harder than ever to effectively strategize. 

The game is coming down to dumb luck. Not skill, just dumb luck.

[Straycat80]

So other Matt has planted the fake idol too? Good idea. Funny that both Danny and him had the same idea. 

[LadyChatts]

This might backfire worse in Matthew since Jamie thinks they have a real bond.   But if he’s all about playing a deceitful game, I guess he can plead his case if/when the time comes. 

[iMonrey]

I mean, why should Danny think he found a real idol? For all he knows, there were three idols - two fake and one real. And someone found the real one before him and he found two fakes but one real clue and one fake clue.

This is just getting absurd.

[Lantern7]

Who goes to a pizza joint for potato stuff? 🤷‍♂️

Obviously, both are just utilizing the game mechanics to their benefit. And I know why both plays are deceitful and can be hurtful. But I do think Matthew playing Jaime will hurt her more than Danny playing Matt.

I like Danny but I was thinking the same thing.  Some of these people have high opinions and egos of themselves, their game play, and how they think they are being portrayed.  So far, I’d argue Carolyn is playing smarter than Carson, Danny is overplaying his scheme with the fake idol, and Matthew probably isn’t as in control as he thinks.  

[Pepper the Cat]

That’s some pretty rough water

[Lantern7]

“A woman that wasn’t Carolyn was voted out at last Tribal Council.”

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, yes, back to the "Dive and Swim/Grab a Key/Crawl Under Something/Solve a Puzzle!" challenge!

[Lantern7]

The ol’ “No Repeating Color Blocks” finish. Of course. 🙄

[LadyChatts]

Claire sitting out.  After last week I wondered if she would dare sit out again.

And Jeff brings it up yet again.

TJ Lavin would be friggin’ angry at Claire now.

[KaveDweller]

Claire looks like she's pretty fit and would be good at challenges. Seems strange to call attention to herself by continuing to sit out.

[Straycat80]

I’m surprised the guy with the bad shoulder is competing. 

[iMonrey]

They should do a worm eating challenge. Then we'd know who would win.

It IS a bit annoying for Jeff to continuing to bring it up because there have definitely been past players who sat out as much as Claire has. It's also only her third time and Jeff felt compelled to comment on it on her second sit-out.

[truthaboutluv]

Jeff cannot make it any clearer how unimpressed he is by Claire's continuous sitting out in challenges. But seriously girl, this is not a good look. Also she knows that if she makes it to merge, she has to compete for individual immunity, right?

Gross food challenges used to be fun.

Jeff would shit his pants if Claire ends up winning this season.

A reason to root for her!

Oh, and there goes Matthew's shoulder.

It's annoying for sure, because it seems like it unfairly puts a target on her (and may make someone on another tribe hesitant to sit out more than once in a row, even if them sitting out makes sense).  It reminds me of how he always singled out Karishma in challenges.

Bearded Matt is taking a serious risk competing with his shoulder.

[Lantern7]

Seriously, couldn’t they stick a puzzle in the middle of a challenge? For shits and giggles?

[LadyChatts]

Ratu done first.  

[Pepper the Cat]

Knock over your blocks!

 

[Lantern7]

I guess first place gets the sword because it’s radder.

[LadyChatts]

For crying out loud, can't there be a rule that they at least need to figure it out on their own?

Tika wins.  Soka going to TC.  I'm glad, I'm curious what will happen there.

[iMonrey]

I think Matt is the obvious target now.

Not in Modern Survivor, I guess.

Ever watch The Challenge recently? It ain’t fun at all.

[vb68]

For all his studying and spreadsheets and puzzle prep time , Carson still had to run over and copying the first team to solve the challenge.

Edited March 16, 2023 by vb68

[truthaboutluv]

The second Frannie and Matt were doing the puzzle, I knew Soka was losing. Just too perfect of a set up, because the tribe already wants to break up the pair and now they can blame them for losing the challenge. Good for little Tika because they really do look pretty useless. 

[LadyChatts]

Matthew can't vote and has a fake idol.  He doesn't seem to care about sticking around to win, but wants to be able to be with Frannie. 

So the votes will be Frannie, Claire, Heidi, Danny, and Josh.

First, with Helen being the solver for their Savvy challenge on Day 1 to now copying off another tribe, Carson isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

I told my hubs that he'd probably refuse to give her the money.

[Straycat80]

Soka goes to TC. This should be interesting. I wonder if Jeff will (again) mention that Claire has not competed yet in challenges.

When Heidi on the sidelines was hugging Claire and said 'they got this' I knew they were probably losing.  Those are famous last words.  The fact that they've shown Jeff making a point to single Claire out at the challenges makes me wonder if this will make her a target (or a red herring).

[DEL901]

I want to see the fake idol played. 

[Lantern7]

Nice jellyfish. 🤷‍♂️
