S44.E04: I'm Felicia LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Episode 4 live chat!

So Josh thinks he's in the middle of Matt/Frannie and Heidi/Danny, and therefore in a good position.  Apparently the rest of his tribe thinks otherwise.  

Okay, I expected to go into this season and be annoyed by Carolyn-and it's still early!  But dang, I am loving her.  She's made her tribe paranoid by putting sticks in the cage.  And that "X" she made actually is a clue to where the fake idol is that she planted!

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Carolyn putting the X sticks across the birdcage door. That's actually pretty funny.

[Lantern7]

Claire Carolyn is working overtime tonight, and we’re not five minutes in.

Wait, do they get soap? It looked like Josh was washing his face with soap.

[Straycat80]

She hid the fake idol in an easy place. 

[Lantern7]

Oh, wow, one of the not-Carolyns just bit the fake idol.

[LadyChatts]

Oh dear, poor Sarah finds the fake idol.  

I have to say, I'm really not a fan of these fake idols put together by producers.  Just takes too much strategy out of the game, and someone like Sarah may really need it. 

[Lady Calypso]

I mean...this is on the show for creating the Fake Idol nonsense.

Once again, I cannot blame the players for utilizing the fake idol stuff to their advantage, even though it screws the players over who found them.

[MerBearHou]

This completely legit-looking fake idol provided by the show is just bullshit IMO.  It’s one thing if a Survivor player makes one to fool people, but these things look 100% real.

A challenge right away? 

[Lantern7]

Slingshot? *suffering flashbacks of Olivia busting her face on The Challenge*

[iMonrey]

Oh man, we didn't even make it five minutes with a tedious challenge.

Oh no! We were doing so well, too with not having challenges right away.

[LadyChatts]

So an individual RC to start with.  Winning tribe will pick someone from each tribe to go on a journey.

[wallflower75]

Hang on...are we sure that that was the fake idol?  Mom and Pop wallflower75 seem to think that Carolyn took the fake idol and hid the real one, not realizing her mistake.

[iMonrey]

So "go on a journey" means "get another damned twist/advantage."

That what I think too

I know it's not going to happen, but I wish there'd be a catch with the fake idols.  Like if someone finds them they become activated?   I don't know, I just feel bad for the fake idol finders.  I don't blame the people who hid them-as you said, they were given that tool and I'd probably try and utilize it, too.  Although I might hang onto the fake for a while, just in case I might need it to strategize.

[Lantern7]

Damn, Carolyn is getting humbled.

Wait, she got one.

Fake idols, but can be activated if you say the magic phrase that'll make you stand out because it's so ridiculous saying aloud.

[LadyChatts]

Why does Matthew, with the bad shoulder, insist on playing the hero?  Especially for a RC?  And a challenge that Soka won first.

Expand  

Maybe he’s afraid he’ll get voted off if he sits out too many challenges. Or it’s his ego. My guess is ego. 

[Lantern7]

I’m thinking there’s a small giveaway with the false idols. Maybe there’s a golden calf on them?

[LadyChatts]

Soka picks Josh, Carson, and Jamie to go on the journey.

Jamie is excited to go on the journey because she thinks it'll be a huge opportunity to get an advantage.  Maybe ask Matt (that lost two votes) how that went for him.

Carolyn would have the advantage because half of what she says sounds off. I think she wants to be MaryAnne 2.0, but she's kind of old and roughed-up for that, where MaryAnne was young and bubbly and carried it off.

[jsm1125]

Why would players in any future season trust that the idol they found is real? Production really has no faith in their own show?

You have to ask? And Probst will tell you that people on the street love the twists! 🙄🙄🙄

I feel dumb, but I don’t understand this comment. Wasn’t Claire voted out last week?

[iMonrey]

Guys - take a look at the other two people who were chosen and realize Soka chose the people they regarded as nerds or outcasts.

[Lady Calypso]

But....are you three SURE you have an immunity idol? Are you REALLY sure?

[Lantern7]

Idols? Just like that?!”

Oh, they’re pre-merge, AND they get new tribes!

[LadyChatts]

This whole journey is stupid.  
 

So they are just gifted II?  They don’t even have to dig in a bag?  Oh, there’s a catch-tribe swap!  And I guess these aren’t valid at the merge?  

[Straycat80]

Oh boy, what a twist! A fourth tribe? 

[Lady Calypso]

No, Josh, you were NOT in a good position. You just don't know it.

[EllenB]

Maybe they'll bring Oprah on board to replace Jeffy. "YOU get an advantage! YOU get an advantage! EVERYONE gets an advantage!"

Edited March 23, 2023 by EllenB

[LadyChatts]

Production is making this too easy.  They are swapping to a different tribe, but get an II.  I don’t want to hear these super fans talk about “the experience” when they are getting a watered down version of the game.  
 

And Carson said Tika’s been losing?  They’ve lost two challenges right?

[Straycat80]

Oh wait, not a fourth tribe, they have to go to different tribes. I like this twist.

Expand  

It's good BECAUSE they evened it out with an idol. They're going on a new tribe who would gladly vote them out first, so having an idol give them protection for at least a bit.

[LadyChatts]

And Josh already is off to a bad start with his new tribe because they caught him in a lie.

Expand  

They've only lost one, right? Because Bruce was med-evaced and then they only lost one immunity challenge.

Or am I mixing up tribes?

[Lantern7]

“Your old tribe member is dead. Probst is not fucking around this season.”

[wallflower75]

Oh good grief.  Why lie about something like that?

Expand  

They just lost that RC, but that's the only other challenge I can think of.  Maybe they didn't finish first in the other challenges, but they didn't lose.

And Carson thinks he's so strategic, but he's selling out Carolyn and Yam Yam.  

Edited March 23, 2023 by LadyChatts

[KaveDweller]

So they get an idol, but they likely need it since they are switching tribes. That makes sense, I guess.

[Lady Calypso]

Man, Carson and Matthew on the same tribe? My annoyance just went up to 100.

[EllenB]

Why do all these adults sound like they're teenagers? 

Get offa my beach.
