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

[Lamb18]

That big toe is big!

[LadyChatts]

So Bruce is the fun uncle at his camp (though Katurah thinks he's a bossy dad), and now we have Julie the mom figure at Reba.

I don't know if I've ever wanted someone to fall flat on their face like I do Drew.

[Lantern7]

Drew looks like he interns directly under the Please Don’t Destroy guys from SNL.

[Straycat80]

I’d rather have this show go back to 60 minutes with less commercials. 

[Lantern7]

How is Cirie doing on BB?

I don't mind the 90 minutes, though I'm trying to get used to it this week for a regular episode.  I keep waiting for them to be at the challenge.

[Lantern7]

Emily, wondering how many managers she hasn’t called out today . . .

Kaleb, no! Don’t befriend Emily!!!

[dizzyd]

Wow, Kaleb is a better person than me.

[LadyChatts]

So Emily is trying to do damage control and make an alliance with Kaleb.  He's actually getting Emily more now, but feels she has a big mouth and can't get out of her own way.

So is this a red herring or is Kaleb genuinely wanting to work with Emily now?

Hey, she got the episode quote!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh Kaleb, you seem sweet. You don't really need to spend the time on Emily if you think she's not going to be able to keep her mouth shut.

If she's all about facts and logic, she can flip on you at any time if she thinks it's a good move for her.

[LadyChatts]

Now she's trying to do damage control with Sabiyah and Brandon.  She calls his hair stunning.  Now she's working on Sean.

I feel like this is going to be for nothing, because I'd be shocked if Lulu loses that she has the votes to stick around.  Even without Sabiyah's vote.

[Lantern7]

Dang, what’s with everyone’s knees? We’re not even a week into the game!

[LadyChatts]

Brandon wants to know if he's seeing smoke to make a fire.  Emily's more concerned about the approaching boat than the fact that Brandon almost got fire.

[Lamb18]

Emily is reforming her personalilty!

Maybe she is a nice person after all.

[Lady Calypso]

So, looks like Drew, Brandon and Bruce are going on the journey.

[Lantern7]

Bruce? Please dial it back a few notches.

[Lady Calypso]

Katurah is me, I absolutely love her annoyance at Bruce. She can see right through him and now she's my favourite.

[LadyChatts]

I'm liking this side of Katurah.  I hope she keeps her anti-Bruce opinions to herself because I need her to stick around.

[Straycat80]

Bruce and his Dad jokes. Katurah is not having it. Lol! 

[Lamb18]

Now the woman who doesn't like Bruce - is she perceptive? Or is she another Emily?

[LadyChatts]

Brandon is telling all about Emily.  Oh, and apparently his whole tribal dynamic.  And Drew is mad because Bruce didn't spill all, so he doesn't think he'll want to work with him going forward.

I like that they are changing up advantage island.  Bruce is protecting his vote and forgoing the idol/advantage.  Brandon is going to play.  Drew is also going to play.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, this is an interesting challenge to earn an advantage.

[LadyChatts]

Is it wrong I am rooting against both of these two?  

 

[Lamb18]

Good for Brandon, risking his vote to do the puzzle! 

Brandon, if you get the advantage, keep it to yourself this time. Don't give it away to someone else.

[dizzyd]

Brandon couldn’t even use his gaming expertise for a game made for him!

[LadyChatts]

Dang, Drew got his advantage so now he can act like he's King of the Island more.

Brandon did not, so I guess he's going to take the boat back to New Jersey.  Now he and Sabiyah have no vote.

[Straycat80]

I’m surprised Drew won. So now Brandon and Sabiyah can’t vote? 

[truthaboutluv]

And Brandon continues to be awful at EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGE. 

[Lantern7]

I really, really, really, REALLY want Brandon to get a dub.

Kaleb, you have heard the parable of the scorpion and the frog, haven’t you???  Emily’s nature will come back to sting you.

Scorpions sting, not bite

[iMonrey]

Good grief Brandon is a loser. No wonder he's a "content producer."

[LadyChatts]

Safety Without Power Advantage-Drew leaves TC before the votes are cast and can't be voted for, but can't cast a vote.  So basically like an idol, except he can't vote and won't know who goes home until everyone returns to camp. 

[Lantern7]

Just now, Straycat80 said:

Looks like . . . and I bet that’s how Emily stays in the game if Lulu loo-loses again.

I have to believe that the show thought he was going to be another Carson-type nerd superfan and he bombed day 1, so now they are making fun of him in the edit.

So Brandon admits to his tribe he has no vote.  Sean is asking himself where Brandon's strengths are because he supposedly said he was the puzzle king and has bombed in puzzles so far.

[Lantern7]

Brandon is open about his failure. At this point, he’s probably figuring he’s got nothing to lose.

Once again: I want him to get a win. Any win.

And why are everyone’s knees all banged up?

[LadyChatts]

And Drew is telling his tribe about his advantage.  

Oh, he thinks this can be used down the road for someone whose in trouble at TC.  Kind of smart.

And now Austin is telling Drew about his beware advantage.  Drew fancies the two of them another J.T. and Stephen.  I'd consider it an insult to be compared to J.T.  And Drew can go anytime.

[Lamb18]

That guy's legs sure are nicked up and bitten. The tall guy who went on the boat ride.

That's right, he's Drew.

What are these knuckleheads doing? Just being silly with their buffs.

Edited October 5, 2023 by Lamb18

[Straycat80]

Welp,  no secrets at the Reba tribe. Not sure that’s smart.

Belo tribe is kind of annoying. 

[LadyChatts]

Kendra wants to work with Brando, and says that the girls on Belo are three strong and nothing is going to break them up.  Yeah, like we haven't heard that before.

Jake's already onto the girls being a group.

Edited October 5, 2023 by LadyChatts

[Lady Calypso]

Jake tells Bruce about the plan, but then doesn't get himself an alliance himself. 

Oh, never mind, the boys pulled Kellie in.

[LadyChatts]

So Bruce thinks he's got Jake (most likely), Kellie (whose already turning on the girls because guys of course means strength), and Brando (kind of seeing where the cards fall).

Kellie can go for being in the middle.  I want to save Katurah.

Edited October 5, 2023 by LadyChatts

[Lamb18]

I have glasses like Kelly on Blue. I'm wearing them right now!

[Straycat80]

No challenge yet? I hope it’s not too, too physical, everyone’s knees are all torn up from the last one. Must have been a lot of rocks in that mud. 

[Lantern7]

Challenge! Finally!

[Lady Calypso]

Jeff, Hannah was not voted out, she quit.

[LadyChatts]

Challenge time!  Place your bets, will Brandon redeem himself or is he going to be another liability?  And will it even matter since Emily is a target.

Okay Probst, Hannah was not voted off.  She quit.  Call it like it is.

[Lady Calypso]

Swim, climb a ladder, leap and grab a key, balance on something, swim some more, then go solve a puzzle!

How unique!

[Lantern7]

Damn, Drew is tall.

[dizzyd]

Every week I’m reminded how much I can’t stand Jeff and how much I love Phil. 

[Straycat80]

I wonder if Brandon is panicking? Water challenge.

And Hannah QUIT Jeff, she wasn’t voted off. Big difference.
