Castaways must land a win at the reward challenge to earn a night at the sanctuary and letters from home. Then, castaways will need to snake their way toward a win in the immunity challenge.

Original airdate 5/3/23

This is your LIVE CHAT thread

[Lantern7]

How many more episodes are there?

[Carey]

Three

[LadyChatts]

Dang, Frannie was totally on the outs for that last vote (outside of Ratu).  I worry for her.  Kind of hope someone from Tika goes, I'm tired of them bragging about being in the middle and running things.  And right on cue, thank you Carson for proving my point.

[Lantern7]

Carson looks nice in night vision without the glasses.

[Carey]

Looks like Frannie isn't in a great spot currently based on the vote there

[LadyChatts]

Well, Kane's gone, so you don't really have to worry about trusting him anymore Jamie.  

ETA: oh, and I don't think you want that idol back either, Jamie.  If you only knew...somewhere Probst is grinding his teeth that the fake idols have all been a bust.

[Carey]

Oh if only she knew

[Lantern7]

Ha! “Fake Idol” fades away. Editors are having fun this season!

[Lady Calypso]

Carson: I'm a MASTERMIND!

Me: Once again, Carson, you didn't come up with ANY plan. Other people did and you may have HELPED, but you did not orchestrate it.

120 seconds into the show, and here is Immunity!

Or not.  Awesome reward!

[iMonrey]

OMG, challenge already??

[DEL901]

Well, this is quick. 

[Lady Calypso]

Nooooo, we're already at a challenge!

I've really not missed having a challenge this early.

I know it's just a reward, but it means more wasted time on challenges.

[iMonrey]

Spin, rope, net, balls, basket. Yawn.

Ledge, actually. 😜

[Lady Calypso]

I can't express how little I care about this.

[LadyChatts]

Remember the days when contestants got to win a reward to some village and hang out with locals and participate in cool ceremonies?  Yeah, now they have this "sanctuary".  

[truthaboutluv]

That was actually a smart play on Carson's part - to throw Kane, who's gone anyway and can't deny his lie, under the bus and so explain why he voted the way he did but keep Jaime close. 

And looks like she bought it. That said, I still think we're heading to an eventual Carson blindside as all the players realize he has too many "friends" and so would be hard to beat at the end.

Another who’s going to get injured challenge. 

[Lantern7]

Dizziness AND rain! And now Carolyn is screaming!

[LadyChatts]

I kept waiting for Probst to throw in puzzle pieces somewhere.  I guess they are saving assembling a puzzle for the IC.

[iMonrey]

Geez, does Carolyn have to scream thru the whole thing?

[Lady Calypso]

Oh right, this is the one Noelle won last season.

Sorry, 44, you're not gonna create a moment quite like Noelle's.

[Carey]

Just now, iMonrey said:

Yes.  Survivor staff is playing and over/under game with a 43.5 total

[Straycat80]

I’m impressed how good Frannie is at these challenges. 

[Lady Calypso]

Frannie has a good strategy; toss it up like a volleyball.

[Carey]

Same here.  However, this might hurt her if she loses going forward.  This is reward, so the cast knows before the next IC and TC

[truthaboutluv]

Damn, Frannie is proving to be a challenge beast.

Someone drowning by looking up at the rain . . .

You think the rain is fake? It’s so hard and everyone is crying.

[Lady Calypso]

Aww, Frannie chose Carolyn. 

[Straycat80]

Oh no, not letters from loved ones. Big cry fest I don’t care to watch. 

[Lantern7]

Probst, twisting the knife . . .

[LadyChatts]

Frannie picks Carolyn to go on reward.  Since Frannie seems to be the only one who suspects Tika is playing a better game than anyone else, maybe smart to bring a Tika person along.  

She also picks Lauren and Heidi.  I have to admit I'm worried for Frannie tonight.

[iMonrey]

It's really shitty that only four of them get their letter from home. At least when they did family visits they got to see their "loved ones" for a bit before someone won. This new way is unnecessarily mean spirited.

[Carey]

If I'm Danny, you might need to take out Frannie unless you can't.  But great, smart picks for Frannie!

[LadyChatts]

Just now, Straycat80 said:

Maybe it's that cold dark part of my heart saying this, but they haven't even been gone that long.  I get it, but I just can't help compare to 39 day seasons and think about people winning something family related day 30 vs day 15 or whatever they are on.

[Lantern7]

Has “Moments of Connection” been a thing? I haven’t been paying attention.

Edited May 4, 2023 by Lantern7

[truthaboutluv]

Ah, the "pick people to go with you on reward" but really, possibly expose alliances. I wonder if Frannie's only picking other women will make Danny and company feel a potential "all female alliance" may be coming and convince them to go for one of the ones on reward. Danny has been thirsting to get Lauren out for awhile now.

I'm wondering if we will ever get a return to loved one visits.  I know COVID was one of the reasons they quit doing them in this new era, but I wonder if budget also factors in.

I think Danny might not be smart to take out Lauren.  OTOH that's fine since Frannie might beat him again.  The problem is a sudden advantage that ends Massa instead.  Which is fine since he could've saved that HII 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I think Frannie couldn't win no matter what, but I can't believe Danny, Carson, and Yam Yam aren't going to work on Jamie.  She's the only woman left out of the reward, and with her being one of only two Ratu members left, I can see them trying to pit her against one of the women on reward (I'm guessing Lauren or Frannie).

[Lantern7]

Is that crab napping?

[iMonrey]

I notice they never do the "break bottles and eliminate other players" type comps anymore, because it makes the players show their hands. Now the show tries so hard to be obtuse we have no idea who's with who or what their end game is. With only eight people left they should really all have final 2 or final 3s in mind but we aren't hearing about it.

[Lady Calypso]

Yam Yam: Everyone has family, so whatever.

Ah, Yam Yam's pissed at Frannie's choices, it seems. I guess she's now on his list?

[Lantern7]

Cut to the ladies ripping up Yam Yam’s letter . . .

Whuh oh, Frannie is on the radar.

Edited May 4, 2023 by Lantern7

[Carey]

I feel bad for Yam Yam now.  However, I also fell bad for ripping on him too.  Including right now; gotta win to guarantee reward, my friend

[LadyChatts]

I'd love to see Carson or Yam Yam go tonight.  I'm tired of both of them.  

[iMonrey]

Tacos and margaritas? On an empty stomach? 🤮

[DEL901]

Margaritas are as bad as eating too much.  With such little food, the after effects will be bad.
