Quote

Castaways must negotiate to earn a big pot of rice for the entire tribe. Then, the castaways will need to put their best foot forward to earn immunity at the next tribal

This is your LIVE CHAT thread 

[Lantern7]

Episode title wants Coach Wade to nut.

[LadyChatts]

Danny said everything went according to plan at TC.  Maybe for him, I'm guessing Ratu would disagree lol  

[Carey]

Well, I guess I don't miss that guy anymore.  How do you not split the votes

[LadyChatts]

So according to Jamie, everyone wanted to split the vote except Brandon.  

Wait, Lauren thinks they still have Tika on their side?  Oh, Yam Yam just voted with them because he was playing both sides.  But they seem to really think he's on their side.

 

[Lantern7]

Sticking with the mythology theme . . . I think Yam Yam would make a decent satyr.

[Lady Calypso]

Yam Yam, I know you want to take credit for those people leaving but....you don't really take credit for anyone BUT Brandon's vote-out.

[LadyChatts]

Kane said he was woken up by the Brandon vote.  He's out idol hunting.  So is Danny.

[CraftyHazel]

I wish Yam Yam was half as cute as he thinks he is.

“I still have my idol!!!”

ONE FAKE IDOL

Damn, show.

[Lady Calypso]

I hope Carolyn finds the idol, just for laughs.

[truthaboutluv]

Jaime seems sweet but she's also kind of clueless at the same time. 

[Carey]

Heidi's got it!

[LadyChatts]

I'm hoping Frannie's "you are good at finding firewood" to Danny is her attempt at sarcasm.  

Oh, and Jamie still thinks he idol is real.  Guess that answers my questions as to whether she found out like Matt did when Brandon pulled the curtain back on that.

Heidi found the idol!  Now please don't tell anyone.

[Lantern7]

Once again . . . there’s a Heidi?

[iMonrey]

Enough with the idols already. They should change the name of the show to The Idol Show.

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah. The only things I remember her for are making fire in episode 1 and misusing the control a vote.

[LadyChatts]

So what do we have in the game-two real idols, one fake idol that the idol holder thinks is real, and Lauren's second vote?

[Carey]

Just now, Lantern7 said:

LOL...Yes Lantern.  Western PA folks are real people!

[LadyChatts]

I don't think it should be allowed to be used up until the final 5.  Final 6 should be the maximum cut off time.

Or bring back the "Ultra" Idol

[Lantern7]

I’m not disputing that. She just doesn’t have that much camera time.

[iMonrey]

Jamie and Heidi have both been flying under the radar.

Or hang an idol over Probst’s nuts.

[Straycat80]

Will Heidi not tell anyone she has an idol? We’ve heard that line before. 

[LadyChatts]

Since she had no problem telling people about Danny's idol and potentially blowing his plan last week, I doubt it.  Not everyone is a Carolyn who can keep a secret (as far as we know anyway).

[Lantern7]

Seems like they’ve gotten mushrooms to eat . . .

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yay, Carolyn is finally bonding with the tribe!

[DEL901]

Or there is something in the smoke…

[jsm1125]

Yam Yam is probably lovely in real life, but I feel like he’s the person most angling to have every episode title named after his quotes. 

[Lantern7]

“I’m an open book!” NO WAY, CAROLYN. 🙄🙄🙄

Good for Carolyn to stick it out this long. I’m still thinking she wins based on exposure.

Edited April 27, 2023 by Lantern7

[Carey]

Carolyn's so sweet and outgoing.  I have to feel bad for thinking she was 47

[Straycat80]

Carolyn is really banged up. Good for her being sober. 

[LadyChatts]

Aww, Frannie found a friend in Carolyn.  I'd love to have Carolyn as a friend, too.

[Lady Calypso]

I am SO happy that we're FINALLY getting some tribemates praising Carolyn.

Oh look, everyone else has shown up now.

[Carey]

Well, looks like Carolyn has "entered the chat"

[Lantern7]

Um, I don’t think climbing big rocks is a good idea, Carolyn . . .

[iMonrey]

Danny is conspicuously absent from this segment.

[Lady Calypso]

YAM YAM AND CAROLYN, STOP CLIMBING ON ROCKS! Do you NOT remember that's how Matthew went out?!?!

Just now, iMonrey said:

He popped in at the end, but him and Kane were absent (probably hunting for idols still lol)

It took 8 episodes, but better late than more than eight...

...so I'll blame Brandon

[truthaboutluv]

Carolyn's either getting eliminated this episode or this was her winner's edit episode. 

[susannot]

I'm worried by the extensive Carolyn interview.

 

Lauren's face looks clean and beautiful.  How so?

Honestly, these people nowadays are a far cry from the days when castaways were dirty, losing hair, covered in bug bites, and having noticeable weight loss.  I am sure they are suffering from these things, but it doesn't show like it used to.

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, Carson, all his confessionals have either been "I'm a mastermind" or "I'm sick".

[Lantern7]

Eighteen minutes and no challenges. Is that odd?

[Lady Calypso]

Just now, Lantern7 said:

No, they've actually done fairly well this season in holding off the challenges until 20 minutes in, which is nice. We've had a couple of episodes lately where the challenges have started at its usual time (5 minutes in) but there's been more episodes this season we don't see right off the bat.

[LadyChatts]

And the mastermind part I believe is him thinking he's one in his own mind.  I have yet to see anything that would constitute this from him.

I kinda don’t think it’s either.  I think when a Survivor opens up like that, how can the producers not show every bit of what Carolyn said?  Lots of good things said by her — sort of “teachable moment” kind of things.  We got a good glimpse of how Carolyn counsels people in recovery.  When she talked about her son and decorating her home for Halloween and things she never thought she’d be able to do in life — very, very touching.  I was never one of the Carolyn fans, but I’ve come around to really cheer her on in her life, now and long into the future.

[Lantern7]

Probst is gonna play Let’s Make A Deal again. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[LadyChatts]

I kind of miss the days when contestants would mismanage their rice supply so bad they'd have to approach Jeff like a kid who just scratched his dad's prized car and have Jeff rip them a new one over it.
