S44.E08: Don't Get Cocky, Kid LIVE CHAT

[Carey]

Okay this is okay, no more pairs

[iMonrey]

I'm already bored with this challenge, and Jeff hasn't even finished describing it.

[MissR2424]

Heidi & Jamie look like sisters 

[Lady Calypso]

Yep, please tell me this isn't another thirty minute challenge.

I guess it can't be as we're 15 minutes in. At least there's no mud under a net challenge to stall them.

[LadyChatts]

This challenge is going to be another long one again, right?  That's why they are starting so soon?

[Lamb18]

Poor Carson, he must be really dehydrated.

Oh, right. The nets. I wonder if Noelle’s leg is still in there.

Oh man that's evil but damn if it's not funny.

[Straycat80]

Here we go, possible death by strangulation in net and smothering on mud. 

[Lady Calypso]

Yet this isn't the earliest we've started, so that gives me hope that it'll ONLY be 20 minutes ;)

Oh, oops, I missed the part where there IS mud. Damn. I thought they learned from 43 that mud ain't that cool.

[truthaboutluv]

The hell is Caroline doing? Other than screaming.

[Straycat80]

Poor Carolyn. She’s just flaying away. Screaming. 

[Lantern7]

Anyone else want those nets banned?

Feels like we're still on pace for an IC to start BEFORE 8:00; I think I hate to say it.

[Lady Calypso]

I actually HATE this part of the challenge. Obviously people are getting through but you can see how much tougher it is on the smaller women. 

But it looks like there's less mud this time than last season.

[Carey]

Carolyn is pretty much done but it might not be a bad thing at the end of the day

[Straycat80]

It’s like fighting your way out of a birth canal. Come on Carolyn! 

[Michichick]

Ha! The show will start with the challenge already in progress.

[truthaboutluv]

Meanwhile, Carson's trying to help but is too sick to speak above a whisper so not sure Caroline's even hearing his advice.

[LadyChatts]

Well, at least Carolyn wasn't the only one struggling.  Carolyn is really stuck.  Oh, but then Carson offers from the sidelines and she just stops and says "what" as thought a lightbulb went off.  Guess it didn't work, she's still struggling.

I'm kind of disgusted that the show probably hopes for moments like this in challenges so Probst can have his own inspirational moments on the sidelines.  If I were Carolyn I'd fling my mud covered hair at him.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I'm so thrilled Carolyn got through!

[Lantern7]

Carolyn probably can’t hear Carson.

Tribal untangling! Dunno if that’s heartwarming or ego-bruising for Carson . . .

[DEL901]

YamYam…surprised at how quickly he got through….and liked how he was the first to help Carson.  

[LadyChatts]

Danny/Lauren and Brandon/Kane moving onto the final round.  

[Lantern7]

Kane & Brandon leaving brown skids on the slide. Please let that be mud.

[LadyChatts]

I wonder if this is going to be a boring, predictable boot and that's why they are eating up so much time with the IC.

LOL.  And around the time I see this, a TBC in the IC.

Then they'll prove us wrong.  It'll be completely over before the show starts!

[iMonrey]

I'm so sick of these ultra physical challenges. There is an obvious bias for the physically strongest players.

I'm okay with it, but I hear you.  Looking for an exclusive puzzle IC

[Lantern7]

The kicker here is that they’re coming off running. That’s somewhat unique.

[Straycat80]

Men usually don’t do well with these foot balancing challenges. Lauren might win this one.

I think it’s coordination

[LadyChatts]

They could have just made this last part the IC.  

[iMonrey]

Well the three strongest players, physically, made it into the final four.

[Lantern7]

Wondering if anyone would piss themselves perched up there. And my e hit Probst with it.

To be fair, I do think they try to balance things by having a lot of puzzles. So a lot of the challenges are usually a mix of physical and strategic. This last part is more endurance than physical strength.

[Pepper the Cat]

Ugh.

standing there covered in mud and sand can’t be nice. Bet there’s a lot of discomfort in the lady bits

And the first two parts a separate RC.  But it's 2023, so no time and money for it!

[Lantern7]

Carolyn scratches herself, casting people get a bigger bonus . . . 

“Kane, not able to do it!”

[MissR2424]

Makes my feet ache🥹

[LadyChatts]

I was just about to say I'm amazed that everyone is still standing, but then Kane fell.  Lauren seems like she's sitting (standing) pretty.

And there goes Brandon.

[Carey]

Nothing about that feels good. - Jeff P

No kidding.  Saying that made it feel better / and him worse for saying it.  Shut up, Jeff

[jsm1125]

No way Kane wins this season with the editors putting Matt as his name on the chyron earlier in the episode. 

[Straycat80]

Did Danny just fart? Lol! 

[iMonrey]

I just don't think it's very interesting to watch these endurance challenges. We need new challenges.

[Lantern7]

Did Danny rip one?

Holy crap, that’s gotta be a (televised) first.

[EllenB]

What do the Celtic symbols on the torture stands signify in the tropics? I'm confused.

[truthaboutluv]

Interesting that this is down to Danny and Lauren because he really wants her out, which makes me think she's going to win.

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, iMonrey said:

It's just the same type of endurance over and over. "Focus on not falling/dropping! You lose focus, YOU LOSE!" 

Got it, Jeff, you say that every immunity challenge.

There’s been a medieval theme running this season. 🤷‍♂️

[Lamb18]

So what was Danny's moment about? I have a couple of guesses.
