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

[mojoween]

I’m super far behind so I hope that I am not being repetitive but CAN NO ONE KEEP A SECRET?  EVER?!?

[dizzyd]

Also why do they not have fire? They all left TC last week with lit torches. Couldn’t they keep the fire alive at camp without flint?

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. 

Basically, it comes down to Kaleb and Sean who will determine who goes home.  Emily has a vote but she's only one person.

I'm wondering if there's a rule that they have to use flint or use natural means to make a fire, and not have a gimme like fire from their torches.

I think production gives them the torches for TC and then takes them away when they leave?

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

They showed Kaleb pouring water from the well into a bottle when he was bonding with Emily.  

[susannot]

I think Drew and Austin had the winner's edit.  Drew said he wants to be Stephen to Austin's JT.  That is exactly the vibe I'm getting from them.

[Lantern7]

Ick. Commercial with Jon Dalton in it. 🤢🤢🤢

[LadyChatts]

Well, here we go.  I like Emily and I'd rather see Brandon's whiny butt go home.  But I think it could go either way.  If they keep Brandon, here's hoping he costs Lulu another challenge.

Guess I missed that.

[LadyChatts]

Seems like there's quite a bit of time left.  Wonder if something exciting happens.

So Brandon just said puzzles aren't his thing, but Sabiyah throws it back to him that he said they were his thing.  Brandon's trying to plead loyalty.

[Lantern7]

“Lulu Strong.”

No such thing, man.

Yeah, like another 4 commercials. 

[MerBearHou]

I like how Sabiyah expresses herself.  

[KeithJ]

Did I miss something?  Why is everyone’s knees completely torn up?

[Lantern7]

Oh, God, Probst is telling a personal story.

Why would he want to be the Stephen to Austin's JT? Stephen lost to JT.

[Straycat80]

If Emily and Sean  vote Brandon, he’s gone. Also I don’t think Kaleb will vote Emily. So I won’t be surprised if Brandon is gone. 

[LadyChatts]

I'm glad this side of Probst is back.  'Brandon, you suck at being physical in the challenges but your fun like the waterboy.'

I was wondering that myself.  I don't remember contestants in the last few seasons looking this banged up so early in the season.

Last week challenge, crawling through mud and dirt. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Let’s just vote already

I feel Probst would shove Brandon’s face in a toilet if he had the chance.

[willco]

Yeah, nice to know ya Brandon, but bu-bye :)

He came in second and was given credit as the mastermind.

[Lamb18]

I have to chuckle at Jeff being the water boy. But that probably helped him in his hosting career. And he's probably done better in life than the basketball team!

[truthaboutluv]

Brandon's case is basically, "okay, yes, I've sucked at every challenge so far after saying I'm great at puzzles but hey, keep me and I promise that eventually there will be a challenge I don't totally suck at. I'm sure of it." 

Okay then...

[MerBearHou]

I always feel like Emily is reading from a script.   

[Lantern7]

Seriously, I can’t do this game. Brandon didn’t need to remind me of that.

[Straycat80]

Oh please vote Brandon off please! 

[LadyChatts]

Brandon's pitch is I suck at challenges so we won't win, but hey, I'm fun and a superfan!

[Pepper the Cat]

Bye bye Brandon

You’re service is ahead of mine by at least a whole minute.

At least Brandon had a great attitude walking out. He'll take this experience with him with a lot of heart.

[Straycat80]

Bye Brandon. Now shut up and go. 

[Lantern7]

Mercy kill. It’ll probably backfire on Lulu when Emily snaps.

[Lamb18]

Only four votes.

[MerBearHou]

Brandon, you got your spot on your favorite show.  And you’ll always have that memory.  But wow, so not a fit for success on Survivor.  Jeff, give him his votes as keepsakes.

[Lantern7]

Just now, Lamb18 said:

Three.

[LadyChatts]

Brandon is gone.  It was the right decision, he sucked at the challenges and Lulu probably would have been right back at TC after the next challenge.  Now they have a chance.

Second place and credit as the mastermind doesn't get you a million dollars.

[Lamb18]

That's right, it was only three votes.

[truthaboutluv]

Well considering only three voted, once Brandon's name was shown, it was obvious. I mean that dude really sucked at challenges so can't blame the other players for that decision.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that 'ol Emily will claw her way to the merge where the old Emily will reemerge and she'll be a menace to try and get rid of down the line. 

[Lamb18]

Time for Amazing Race!

[EllenB]

Brandon, I'm sorry your life dream was to be in a group of people who all thought you were a schmuck, and that you're sadly grateful for that. Now go find some self-respect, please.

[Lantern7]

Well, at least nobody pulled Brandon’s shorts down and laughed at him. 🤷‍♂️

Survivor Down!

Yes, but it gets you $100K and gets you invited back.

Canadian feed vs American feed maybe? Not sure why we would be ahead!
