Quote

Tribes must hook a win in the reward challenge to earn a large fruit platter and the chance to raid the camp of one of the losing tribes. Then, tribes roll their way to a win to earn safety for one more night.

Good evening all! 

[Lantern7]

Bruce can tribal yodel. That’s funny,

[LadyChatts]

Previously on Survivor-they show Bruce name dropping Kane again.  I like that they do the recaps again.

[MerBearHou]

Howdy!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yeah, 90 minute episodes means a minute of recaps! At least these are faster than Big Brother's.

[Lantern7]

How deep a hole can Lulu dig itself tonight? Let’s find out!

[LadyChatts]

So Sabiyah also thinks it was a good idea after all to get rid of Brandon.  And she gives Emily back her SITD.  Sounds like she's open to working with her?

[DEL901]

Bruce the sage just slays me.  He lasted 2-3 days the first time.   How much insight did he gain to pass on…except maybe don’t bash your head in a challenge.  

[MerBearHou]

They are falling for Emily’s smooth words and manipulation… noooooo. At their peril

Emily also realized there was a missing vote from the past TC (she knew about Brandon's, but not Sabiyah's).  Sabiyah is trying to do damage control and tell Emily she voted.  

[Lantern7]

“Evicted”? Ugh, Emily. Good insight, but ugh.

Kaleb refers to the host as “Probst.” I might have to root for him now.

[iMonrey]

She's not picking a fight. She's just able to count to 2.

[Straycat80]

Emily is not savable Kaleb, stawp!

[LadyChatts]

Kaleb thinks this is a sign of the old Emily when she's questioning why only two votes were read.  I think it's actually fine if she's questioning, because she's right that Jeff wouldn't have only read two votes.  This isn't playing three-steps ahead neurotic Emily, this is sensible Emily.

I like having the opening credits and music back. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Props to the guy who called him Probst and not Jeff.

[Lamb18]

Kaleb said what I said during the first episode--Lulu is like the Island of Misfit Toys!

Now I have to root for him.

[LadyChatts]

Whoa, that was scary with Jake.  Almost pulled a Skupin there.

[Lantern7]

Tonight: stuff on other tribes!!!

Oh, right, Jake is bargain Rob Mariano.

[Straycat80]

Jake looked like he had a seizure. 

[Lady Calypso]

Hey Kendra, maybe you want to get production to call medical on Jake. Just maybe.

[LadyChatts]

I like Kendra and Katurah so I have to root against Kellie for ditching them and going with the guys.

[Lantern7]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

They’re probably on red alert now.

[Lamb18]

Did that guy just do a Skupin? Weird, he had a spasm. Good thing he didn't get burnt.

[Quilt Fairy]

It was weird the way the camera caught that. I thought he was faking something. 

[LadyChatts]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

I kept waiting for Probst to pop out of the bushes and say 'you need medical'.  It just seems like whenever there's a medical issue on a tribe, Probst just shows up out of nowhere.

[dizzyd]

I’m seeing these 2 tribers besides Bruce for the 1st time.

[Lamb18]

OK, Skupin guy is Jake.

[LadyChatts]

Entrepreneurship?  Really Drew?

[MerBearHou]

I am actually enjoying finally seeing other tribes besides Lulu.

[Lady Calypso]

No surprise, it takes Drew 2 seconds to annoy the shit out of me.

[LadyChatts]

And Drew isn't as slick as he thinks, because Dee is onto them.  She feels that they have something they are hiding.  

Heh, they accidentally stumble upon Drew digging for the idol.  Drew is definitely not good under pressure.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm very glad to see that the women seem to be smart this season. They're more perceptive than some of the men thus far.

[Straycat80]

Your plan didn’t work Drew. 

[LadyChatts]

Okay, so Drew blaming Sifu is smart.  

And Austin was supposed to be the look out while Drew was digging?  They really are not good at being covert.

[Lantern7]

“Digging for coconuts.” Sounds like a euphemism.

Edited October 12, 2023 by Lantern7

[dizzyd]

Drew has no poker face, he actually looked like he was about to be sick for getting caught.

[LadyChatts]

And Dee isn't buying their explanation, but is going along with it for now.  

I like her.  She compared this to a boyfriend cheating on her because she thought she was cool with the guys.

“LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, JEFF PROBST IS THERE!!!” “In the medical tent!”

[iMonrey]

Saying they saw Sifu digging for something was actually a good cover. Too bad Drew couldn't sell it for crap. He looked suspicious as hell when they called out to him and he got up and walked away.

[LadyChatts]

Challenge already?  

[Lantern7]

“We sent Brandon to a farm on the other side of the island.”

[LadyChatts]

Oh come on Kellie/Kendra, you can't act surprised at Brandon being gone.  I would have been more shocked if I saw he wasn't gone.

[Straycat80]

Oh a challenge already. Let’s see if Lulu does better. 
Why is everyone surprised Brandon got voted off. 

[dizzyd]

They were surprised to see Brandon out, really?

[Lantern7]

Carny game!!!

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, reward challenge! Sweet!

[LadyChatts]

Oh I forgot they were doing a reward challenge this week separate from immunity. 

Now let's see if Lulu is truly cursed or if Brandon was holding them back.

[KaveDweller]

I think people pretend to look shocked at the vote out so they get screen time.
