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

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, Jeff explaining that they're now enforcing/creating a new rule about not sitting out in back to back challenges.

[dizzyd]

I’m glad can’t sit out back to back is back. That’s another thing I asked for last season.

Oh oh, will Brandon be able to climb that ladder? Will he be able to swim to the ladder?

He probably calls it the “Sandra Rule.”

[LadyChatts]

New sit out rule: players can not sit out back to back.  Whoever sits out this time has to participate next time.  I guess this is the effect from that player last season who sat out every time (what was her name, Claire?)

[MerBearHou]

Reallllly wish Jeff had said that Hannah quit.

Don't worry, they forced him to take on the puzzle.

Not sure if that's a benefit.

I was thinking the same. Couldn't remember her name but girlfriend got herself voted out because she sat out damn near every challenge.

Interesting choice, but guess they figured he'll have Sabiyah helping him and it's the safer bet than watching him almost drown.

How is Cirie doing on BB?

She was killing it for the first 40ish days but had a couple of her close allies get voted out. 

Now she’s doing reasonably decently. Not a power player or with a ton of allies, but not many people’s targets. 
 

Sean, did Brandon really fuck up the puzzle in the first immunity challenge? Or did he just not get a ton of time on it because of his performance in the wall portion?

[dizzyd]

Ouch Kendra!

And we’re watching Brandon blow another puzzle.

[Straycat80]

Ouch! Kendra! 

[truthaboutluv]

Um, that did not look good for Kendra's vag. 

[LadyChatts]

That was a nasty fall Kendra took.

Now everyone is tied up at the puzzle.

Heh, and Probst said this is a brand new Survivor puzzle that no one knows.  

[Lantern7]

I can see Brandon’s hair turn white.

[Lamb18]

If this was The Challenge, the contestants wouldn't get a stick to knock the keys down. They would just half to jump high enough.

Kendra's crotch must be hurting!

[Pepper the Cat]

I don’t know how Brandon can do anything with all that hair in his face!

[LadyChatts]

No surprise, Brandon is doing horribly on the puzzle and is refusing to listen to his tribe.  And he's panicking and getting snippy.

[truthaboutluv]

Is that really a new puzzle? Feel like I've seen some variation of it before. 

Brandon this may be your final chance to prove yourself dude. But it is NOT looking good. I'm starting to think Brandon lied about the super fan as a ploy to get on the show. 

[LadyChatts]

Wow, Probst is savage.  Might as well just call the challenge there and tell Lulu head directly to TC.

[Lantern7]

No medical for Kendra?

[Lamb18]

A brand new puzzle!! That one contestant wouldn't have this one at home. (Was that Drew?)

There's yellow! I didn't know if they'd even gotten to the puzzle yet, but I see they're working on it. Nice and encouraging Jeff! Put in the deep freeze, indeed!

[LadyChatts]

As much as Lulu may not like Emily, if they want any chance of winning they really need to get rid of Brandon.  He's just horrible at the challenges.  

 

[MerBearHou]

This puzzle is beautiful actually.

[Straycat80]

Jeff might as well just say Lulu Lemon sucks. 

[Lantern7]

Surprised that Probst didn’t flick the flint in their faces.

[DEL901]

Yikes.     Brandon did the impossible….he was even worse at this week’s challenge.  

[Lamb18]

I have a soft spot for Brandon, but he really is detrimental to the tribe's success.

Jeff says, "Lulu, you lost. You st---"   I thought he was going to say "stink" instead of "still."

[Straycat80]

Might be another short TC. Plus we have to have about 50 more commercials.

Thinking this will be a predictable Brandon vs Emily show down.

 

[susannot]

Dammit, I really like Kaleb on the hapless Lulu tribe.  I want him to survive to the merge where I am confident he would do well.

[Lantern7]

Sean is being a bit of a prick for a school principal.

[Lady Calypso]

Don't celebrate yet, Sabiyah. The note said SERIES OF TASKS.

[Lantern7]

Man, even the ants hate Lulu.

[dizzyd]

Is there anyone left with intact knees?

[Straycat80]

Sean is the only one making sense. I hope Emily didn’t get in Kalebs head too much. 

[Mrsmom]

Two thoughts....there is no way this show should be 90 minutes...the casting department should be fired putting the lulu lemon team together!

[LadyChatts]

Sabiyah wants Emily to go home.  She's also afraid she's going to play her SITD.  

Honestly, while I get why she doesn't trust Emily (for good reason), it'd be stupid for them to keep Brandon.  Unless they figure they can get him the next vote if they lose.

Ooh, idol twist!  It's encased in wax and it has to be melted for Sabiyah to get the idol. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Why don’t they use Brandon’s glasses to start a fire?

[MerBearHou]

Love the observation — y’all, there’s a coconut up there and this isn’t a coconut tree.  Nicely done.  

[Straycat80]

Just bust up the wax on the candle to get the idol out. 

[dizzyd]

There’s sun and a pair of glasses! Why fire to melt the candle?

[Lantern7]

“Socially, I am the bomb.”

Brandon. Dude. You’re a dud.

[truthaboutluv]

Really Brandon? Because I don't trust your assessment about ANY part of your game on this show.

[willco]

If Lulu hasn't had fire this whole time, have they not had any water or food ? No water at all ?

[LadyChatts]

Emily gave Sabiyah her SITD in order to gain trust.  Not sure that's going to be a smart move.  

[Lady Calypso]

Kaleb, once more, if you think you fully have Emily and you can play her like a puppet just because you helped save her game, you're gonna be mistaken down the road when merge happens and you all get there and Emily finds other people to align with.

[KaveDweller]

Can Sabiyah just burn the candle when she gets to tribal? There is fire there.

[LadyChatts]

This is why keeping Brandon, who is a huge liability, is stupid.  This tribe is going to keep getting weaker, and they can't sit people out, so no one is going to get a rest.  Emily at least can give them a shot to win, get flint, maybe win a food reward.  Sean and Kaleb see it.  I get where Sabiyah is coming from, but they are making the most sense.  

[Lamb18]

Can anyone at Lulu vote tonight? Brandon can't, Sabiyah can't. If Emily uses her Shot in the Dark, she can't either.

OK, she just gave it to Sabiyah to hold for her. So she can vote after all. So four of them can vote.
