S44.E12: I'm the Bandit LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

Castaways must get the ball rolling in the right direction at the reward challenge to win a relaxing evening at the sanctuary. Then, with only six castaways left, it is an emotional struggle to decide which castaway will be going home.

Cut for time: “Was that supposed to be DeNiro? Man, what a putz!”

[LadyChatts]

I'm sad that Carolyn's idol play was for nothing, but glad this seemed to have bumped her up a little in everyone's esteem.

[Lady Calypso]

Good on Carolyn seeing the bigger picture: playing the idol was for reassurance that her numbers stayed. And the voice was REAL close; it really could have flipped the other way had Jaime and Lauren voted the way they should have.

[iMonrey]

Yam Yam saying he said a million times Carolyn had an idol? I don't remember him ever saying that.

[LadyChatts]

For once I agree with Yam Yam, because all this bragging is putting a target on her back that wasn't there before.  She really can't win.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Carson only waking Carolyn to tell her about Heidi sneaking off.

[LadyChatts]

I forgot all about Heidi's idol.  She's out looking for another (actually, everyone is out looking).  I hope Carolyn or Lauren find it, I think they might need it the most.  Or maybe Jamie, just so she can say she actually had a real idol in the game.

[Straycat80]

I hate that there would be an idol this late in the game. 

[Lantern7]

“Be vewy vewy quiet. We’re huntin’ idols!”

[Lady Calypso]

Again, thank god people are finally seeing that Carolyn isn't as clueless as she appears to be.

It only took TWELVE EPISODES.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I like this scene with Lauren and Carolyn, mainly because it shows Carolyn is more observant than she's been given credit for.

[truthaboutluv]

Lauren, that's why she's a good player and a big threat - it's because she's lovable while playing a really smart game. 

[Lantern7]

Atlasphere!!!

[iMonrey]

Six minutes in, and already the challenge. Reward? Yawn.

[Straycat80]

I’m starting to think F3 might be Carson, Yam Yam and Carolyn. 

[LadyChatts]

I get so thrown off when we get RC this late in the game, I keep thinking it's an immunity already.

Probably would be my first bet, or at least 2 of 3, but we'll see

Sanctuary always makes me think of Logans Run.

[LadyChatts]

Oh good, a challenge with potential for injury.  I'm glad we are mixing it up a little.

[MerBearHou]

Will Carson throw up again?!

[LadyChatts]

God love Jamie, but she was the wrong person to be the caller in this challenge.

[Lantern7]

Oh, man. Carolyn got lost. That’s hilarious.

[Straycat80]

Carolyn is nowhere near the ball! Lol! 

[iMonrey]

Carolyn really does stink at most challenges.

[truthaboutluv]

Caroline is always lost in the wilderness in these challenges, lol.

[Lady Calypso]

Lauren and Yam Yam left Carson at a TERRIBLE angle.

[LadyChatts]

I feel like this challenge was too simple.  

[iMonrey]

Well that was mercifully quick.

[truthaboutluv]

Carson is clearly doing a great job as the caller but you wouldn't be able to tell with how quiet he is. He honestly sounds like he's barely speaking above a whisper.

[LadyChatts]

I don't buy the 'outnumbered by Tika'.  Technically, it's a 3-3 split.  Try and figure out who they are voting for and maybe Heidi could correctly idol one of them out.  Or risk a tie and go to rocks.  

[Lantern7]

It probably took twenty minutes to get Carolyn out of the bushes.

Sarah and Ben! In other news, Challenge: World Championship has been a dud.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh look, there are people at the Sanctuary.

[Lantern7]

Hey, they got production aides to play greeters! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Forgot that Yam Yam hadn't been on a reward.  Not that there've been that many RC

[LadyChatts]

I miss the days when they used to eat back at camp in sniffing distance of the losers.  I know it's mean, but dang, I want drama.  

[iMonrey]

Great, more screen time for Yam Yam to run his mouth.

[Lady Calypso]

So, we know Carson is faking the plan to get Carolyn out.

Is Yam Yam as well or does he want Carolyn out?

[LadyChatts]

So mid-foot massage, Yam Yam brings up strategy and wants to target Carolyn.  Lauren is game.  Carson is playing pretend, but Yam Yam might actually be serious?

[Straycat80]

YY is going to turn on Carolyn.

He might call an audible and boot Carson

[LadyChatts]

Maybe Jaime should have thought about Tika being a strong trio at the last vote when she voted with them to oust Danny.

[Lantern7]

I want to make a “happy ending” joke, but I’m having trouble.

[MerBearHou]

Holy cow, does Jaime have a blow dryer?

[Lady Calypso]

Carolyn's so intuitive. She knows she can't lose her numbers until next vote.

[LadyChatts]

And while Jaime is off wandering, Heidi is strategizing with Carolyn about voting off Lauren.

Nah, I think Yam Yam is 100% down. He's always been a player that goes the "anyone but me" strategy. But watch and Caroline wins immunity.

[LadyChatts]

Dang, back from reward already?  That seemed short.  I know it's edited, but still.

[Lantern7]

“Can you burp in my mouth?”

What the hell, Carolyn?!?
