S45.E03: No Man Left Behind LIVE CHAT

[Straycat80]

I hate when everyone has their mouths wide open in surprise like blow up dolls. 

[DEL901]

If there was any doubt about ditching Brandon….he wouldn’t have a hope in hell of catching that ball.  .  

[Lantern7]

“That’s not how Kane would’ve done it!”

[LadyChatts]

I'm actually rooting for Lulu to win.  I hate when a tribe is just on a constant losing streak.

[dizzyd]

I’m glad they’ve come up with new challenges. 

[LadyChatts]

I'd really love to know who came up with the tribe names this season.

[Lantern7]

Anyone rooting for the ball to hit a head?

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

Expand  

In all my many decades of living, I don't think I've ever done a wide open mouth shocked reaction to anything.  But looky here, about half of them had to catch their chins on their chests. Suuure.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh good, we're seeing people fall through the challenge. Love that! 

Lulu IS doing well without Brandon, can confirm.

Only Probst, but I think they'd have a hard time explaining how that was an "accident".

[Lantern7]

Lemons no more!!!

[LadyChatts]

Lulu wins first in reward!  

And Drew the sit-out can zip it from the bench over there.

[Straycat80]

Lulu wins! I’m happy for them but still want Emily gone. 

[LadyChatts]

Reba wins second.  Belo gets nothing.

If they lose immunity I think the SITD is her only hope of staying.  Even without Sabiyah's vote, Kaleb and Sean have enough to send her home.

[Pepper the Cat]

Lulu should raid for flint

[LadyChatts]

Why Kaleb?  He volunteered Jeff, they didn't exactly pick him.

[EllenB]

Kendra reminds me of the super annoying character on Bones who made me want to punch my TV.

Expand  

The issue is that Kaleb, for some odd reason, wants to save Emily and....take her under his wing and nurse her back to health, I guess? I wonder if he'd fight to keep her if they lose again.

[MerBearHou]

I know they’re starving and welcome all food, but I laughed a little when Jeff said “ok, who’s gonna come in 2nd and get that fruit plate?”  Just sounded like a restaurant order.

[Quilt Fairy]

It would have made the challenge more interesting if they had to get one ring on each fork.

That's what I thought they were going to have to do.  Maybe when the Dream Team practiced it first they found it too difficult (though I don't know why, because it would have made more sense).

[iMonrey]

Wait . . . if Kaleb goes to another tribe does he miss out on the fruit plate?

[Lantern7]

Great, more voting shenanigans.

[LadyChatts]

Ooh, Kaleb gets an advantage that he has to give to someone else.  Goodwill advantage-someone that loses their vote gets it back.  Kaleb will decide who gets it.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm gonna take a wild guess: Kaleb gives this secret advantage to Austin. Just a wild guess. 

Drew, Jeff said he can take ONE item, not EVERYTHING.

Drew's not a very good listener, is he?

[LadyChatts]

So Lulu decides to raid Reba.

And Drew thinks Kaleb is running the Lulu tribe.  

[Lantern7]

This tribe is down with the sickness.

[Straycat80]

Raiding Reba. Better steal the flint. I hope he gives the advantage to Sifu (sp?). 

[LadyChatts]

So Kaleb is trying to figure out who to give the advantage to by asking Reba if he can talk to them one-on-one.  I'd find that suspicious.

And Drew is fine blabbing about his advantage.  Of freaking course Kaleb gives it to him because I can't get a win.  I would think that Drew acting like such a player would actually be a red flag where you don't want to help him.

[Lady Calypso]

Kaleb...you gave it to Drew....because he told you he got an ADVANTAGE? Really?

[Lantern7]

So, basically, give the advantage to the other tribe’s Brandon.

[MerBearHou]

C’mon, Kaleb is doing what ALL of them would do if they went to the other trip.  Pleaaassseee.  It’s not rocket science.

[Quilt Fairy]

I don't understand.  Kaleb can ask questions, but people don't have to answer and they don't have to tell the truth. 

[Straycat80]

Drew? And he will give it to Austin. Well, that’s good team play. But dumb telling Dee. 

[MerBearHou]

I did a double take when I saw SIFU in the closed captions — thought it was STFU.  

[LadyChatts]

Dee was fussy about you not telling her about the idol?  First of all, why wouldn't she be Drew?  Secondly, she's not two, you don't need to use the word fussy.  

Drew can't go fast enough for me.

Drew pisses me off with how he speaks about people. He thinks so highly of himself, talking about himself as if he's some genius but he's just annoying as shit.

[Quilt Fairy]

Drew looks like he's been out there 39 days. 

[Straycat80]

Oh no Sabiyah, stop with the crazy talk of voting off Kaleb. 

[MerBearHou]

Lulu, you might want to win a little bit more before you vote out someone strong like Kaleb.  This is too soon.

[dizzyd]

They’re already talking about not being beside Kaleb at ftc! Maybe Kaleb needs an advantage.

Edited October 12, 2023 by dizzyd

[LadyChatts]

And is Sabiyah talking about voting off Kaleb?  My head is spinning.  I don't know why they are worrying so much about what's going to happen at the end.  I'll be the first to complain sometimes people wait until it's too late to make a move, but there is such a thing as moving too soon.  Emily almost learned that the hard way.

[iMonrey]

Did they save any fruit for Kaleb?

[Lady Calypso]

Sabiyah, I like you but you JUST started doing ok in challenges. You can't afford to take out a comp beast if you just lose again.

The problem is they are all counting on an eventual tribal switch, because they ALWAYS have them now. That's why the show needs to not do that, just once. TO throw everyone off in future seasons.

Yes, he was eating grapes.

Expand  

That made no sense when she talked about how well he did in the challenge, and that equaled needing to get him out.  Don't you actually want someone who can help you win instead of voting off strength and decimating yourselves further?

[MerBearHou]

So Kaleb volunteers to go raid a camp to bring back a valuable item for Lulu and for that, he’s got no protection back at camp?  I guess that’s Survivor, but it’s super short-sighted.
