S45.E02: Brought a Bazooka to a Tea Party LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

One person from each tribe hops on a boat, where they make a big decision that could impact their game. Then, tribes find the key to victory in the immunity challenge to unlock the fishing gear reward.

[LadyChatts]

Hey, the 'previously on Survivor' is back, too.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh wow, with 90 minute episodes, we ALSO get Previously on Survivor segments!

[Lantern7]

A recap?!? You spoil us, Jeffy!

Huh, no review of Brandon’s woes.

[LadyChatts]

So someone refresh my memory, since the season is 26 days, was Hannah voted off on day 2? 

[Pepper the Cat]

Hannah quit on day 2

[Lantern7]

Sean said “Lulu lemon.” Funny? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[Carey]

Previously on Survivor returning is a step in the right direction TBH!

[Straycat80]

Don’t hold your breathe about getting flint and stuff Lulu unless you get your shit together. Oh, and get rid of Emily. 

[Lady Calypso]

Emily: I'm being gaslit!

No, they're just telling you how they feel about your reaction at Tribal.

 

[LadyChatts]

Emily tries an offhand apology to Sabiyah and Kaleb.  They aren't buying it, and now Emily is offended even more.  And she doesn't understand why Sabiyah would feel attacked when she put them on the spot by claiming that her and Kaleb have a make believe alliance?

She quit on Day 3. I saw the chyron.

[vb68]

Emily is like nails on a chalkboard whenever she talks.

[Lantern7]

Does “Sabiyah” sound like a tribe name?

I bet Emily asks to see a lot of managers.

Credits! Hannah going face-first in the mud!

[Lady Calypso]

It wouldn't be Modern Survivor without the constant slow mo shots.

[Lantern7]

Of course the dude named “Sifu” would be showing off.

It's funny that Emily can be both self-aware and totally the most un self-aware person on her tribe all at the same time.  She gets she blew up her game, but then doesn't understand why Sabiyah would be upset at her.

[Straycat80]

I’m watching the contestants in the beginning and not remember seeing many of them. So much focus has been on the Lulu tribe. 

[Lamb18]

I like these active opening shots of the contestants. I don't get Emily. She is so proud of how she thinks about things (negatively) and doesn't understand why people get upset. Has she no sensitivity or perception?

[candall]

Hmm, I'd go the other way.  It looks to me like Emily is dunzo as far as Sabiyah is concerned and there's nothing Emily can do about it, no matter how much she might like to repair things.

Tough spot to be in for Day 3 in a five-person tribe.

[LadyChatts]

J Maya is trying to figure the code on her tribe's flag.  She wants an advantage because she's convinced her tribe is going to lose an immunity challenge at some point.  The way Lulu Lemon is going, I'm not so sure that's happening unless Reba decides to throw a challenge.

Nope.

[Lamb18]

This lady is intelligent in figuring out the ciper. I was thinking along her lines last week, that the symbols shown in the Beware Advantage were the top half of the letters and the signboard shows the bottom  half. Just like what that guy's doing right now.

[Lantern7]

J. Maya is smart. Too bad Austin has the instructions.

[Straycat80]

I figured those symbols were really part of a message. You could kind of see the word ‘dig’. 

[Lantern7]

Bruce, making Probst chub up. Gotta wonder how far he would’ve gone last season.

She put herself in that spot, repeatedly, in case anyone forgot she was a thorn in their side. 
 

I like Reba so far, but that’s not much when you have the blatantly incompetent half of Lulu. Bruce needs to stfu if he wants to stick around. Lasting longer than last time is not much of an accomplishment. I hope lulu loses again to remove the chaff. 

[Straycat80]

I honestly can’t remember that much about Bruce from last season. 

[Lady Calypso]

Katurah calling out Bruce is fantastic to watch.

[LadyChatts]

Katurah isn't a fan of Uncle Bruce but she seems to be in the minority at her tribe.  

And he's name dropping Kane of all people?  Anyway, I love Katurah for that rant alone.  I like Bruce, but that was funny.

[Lantern7]

“Was Carolyn as crazy as she was on the show?!?”

[Lamb18]

The lawyer guy is easily amused. I think Bruce should just be himself and not crazy Uncle Bruce. But then being himself is probably being impatient and critical of the others. One person has some intelligence on Bruce's tribe.

Don't find the idol, Emily!

[Straycat80]

Oh please don’t let Emily find an idol! 

[Lantern7]

Brandon can probably see the post-effects of where the advantage lies.

[LadyChatts]

Emily's off idol hunting.  Her tribe thinks they should go looking for her, and unlike previous seasons where tribe members sit around talking about it, they actually go and hunt for her.  

[Lady Calypso]

Emily....you STILL have to play nice, goddamn.

[Lantern7]

Brandon Redemption Arc begins! Maybe!!

[dizzyd]

Oh no not Brandon! We were so close of being rid of him. Ok it’s just an advantage but still!

[LadyChatts]

And Brandon, the hopeless wonder from last episode, finds the beware advantage.  He's too scared to open it, so it gives it to Sabiyah.  Who now loses her vote until she finds the idol.

She gets a different clue than Austin did.

[Lantern7]

Have we seen truck drivers since Sue Hawk? Or is Sabiyah the second one?

[LadyChatts]

TBH, I almost wanted Emily to find it just to prevent a boring TC if Lulu loses.  

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, this seems a lot easier of a clue than Austin had.

[Straycat80]

But now Sabiyah can’t vote emily off right? 

[Lamb18]

Oh Brandon, don't give your Advantage away!

Now Sabiyeh will figure it out. This one is different from the other tribe's.

[iMonrey]

Brandon has scoliosis too? Jeez they sure don't have to pass a physical to get on this show do they?

[LadyChatts]

I don't know that Sabiyah really needs her vote if the rest of the tribe is going to vote Emily off anyway.  It might not even matter for this vote if they lose.

[Lantern7]

Cut to Quentin Tarantino at home, chubbing up.

[dizzyd]

So last season I complained about how easy the idols and advantages were to find and that they needed to make it more difficult to where you had to be Izzy to get one. They must’ve heard me.

[LadyChatts]

For someone who's a super fan, Brandon is kind of a dud.  Wonder if Probst re-evaluated what got him through casting.

[Straycat80]

Why aren’t they looking for food or making their shelter better instead of talking about feet?
