S45.E03: No Man Left Behind LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

So the girls at Belo are strategizing and are leaning towards voting Bruce off over Jake (apparently Jake isn't the threat he thinks he is).  

I like Kendra and Katurah so I hope Kellie doesn't screw this up.  Also, any Survivor superfan should know that being in the middle of the vote isn't exactly the piece of real estate you think it is.

[Quilt Fairy]

How small do you have to be and how large is that buff to be able to wear it as a swimsuit? 

[MerBearHou]

Katurah is fixated on Bruce.  I don’t quite get it.  And he played once before….for about 20 minutes.  

[iMonrey]

Oh Austin you dummy you just admitted you lied.

[LadyChatts]

And Austin is telling Julie/Dee something they already know-he found the beware advantage.  

But Dee knows they wouldn't have told them if they hadn't caught Drew.

[iMonrey]

If four out of six know about the idol it's not that big an advantage.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh yes, Dee and Julie found the rope!

[LadyChatts]

I'm really glad that Dee found it and not Drew.  

Oh good, they don't want the guys to know.  Good girls!

Oh dang, Julie told Austin.  Why didn't they take it for themselves?  

[Lady Calypso]

I kind of wish Julie/Dee would have just screwed over the guys and gotten the idol themselves.

I know it would have been a bad move but it would have served them right for not telling them sooner.

[Quilt Fairy]

This idol is only gonna save one person, right?  Why are they all working together like this?

[iMonrey]

They made Reba's idol so much harder to find than Lulu's.

[Lantern7]

Damn. Interesting idol rules.

[Straycat80]

All that work for only one TC. This is getting more and more complicated. 

[LadyChatts]

I can't stand this bromance.

Oh, Austin's idol is only good for one TC.  But if he sacrifices his vote at the first TC, he can use it until the merge.  Sacrifice a second vote it gains more time.

Yet Sabiyah had hers encased in wax?  Doesn't seem very fair.

[DEL901]

They are assuming that they would last to F5….but the Beware Advantage is generally a curse. 

[Lady Calypso]

I love Dee; she's clocking everything.

I do appreciate Austin saying that the idol is shared at least for now. But Austin lucked out with telling Dee/Julie because he can absolutely sacrifice at least one vote with his alliance backing him up.

[Lamb18]

I thought the two women were going to run with the hammer and crack open rocks themselves.

[Straycat80]

I forgot about Sabiyah’s idol in the wax. And Lulu doesn’t have fire yet, right? They got the fishing equipment but if they catch anything they won’t be able to cook it. 

[Quilt Fairy]

So why wouldn't you go behind his back and vote out the guy you KNOW has an idol but doesn't want to use it? 

[LadyChatts]

Yeah, she's probably right that it was smarter to let the guys get the idol, even if I wanted them to keep it to themselves.  But now this is a secret she knows and can use as leverage.  Plus, she definitely knows that Austin/Drew may not be completely trustworthy.

I just think it's crap that the other tasks Austin has to do aren't harder.  Because you're right, sacrificing a vote at TC isn't going to matter much if Reba goes.

Immunity challenge time.  Let's see if Lulu can make this 2/2.

[Lantern7]

Puzzle pieces! 🙄🙄🙄

[Lady Calypso]

And time to tune out the challenge that we've seen hundreds of times before.

[LadyChatts]

Cart, keys, puzzle pieces, dragging said puzzle pieces through obstacles, someone is the caller that tells the tribe how to put the puzzle together (or not)-yeah, I think they got all the basics except using a bag of balls to know said-puzzle down.

This challenge will definitely need strength.

[PaperTree]

Not another puzzle     sigh

[LadyChatts]

As a twist, sometime I'd love for Probst to let the tribe that doesn't get to sit people out decide what members of the opposing tribes sit out.  Might help make things interesting.

[Lamb18]

Only a half hour left and we're just starting the immunity challenge, and there's still tribal council.

Watch blindfolded Bruce conk his head and be medically eliminated.

[DEL901]

So much for the yellow caller…

[Lady Calypso]

Weird sad music playing for Lulu losing again.

[LadyChatts]

Lulu is sucking at this challenge, too.  Emily telling her tribe to hurry when she's the caller maybe isn't the best strategy for her.  Is she even helping?  

[Lamb18]

I guess they're not blindfolded. They just have callers.

Bruce still might conk his head.

[Quilt Fairy]

I don't see how the caller postition adds any help. 

[LadyChatts]

If they voted Emily off I wouldn't blame them.  She sucked at this challenge.  I felt like she was looking around at everyone else and not helping.

[Straycat80]

Lulu loses again. 

[Lantern7]

Damn. they couldn’t wait for the end of the challenge to play the somber music.

I guess Kaleb is toast, huh? 🤦‍♂️

[dizzyd]

Well all lulu got was lunch and some fishing gear. At this point, looks like pagong.

[LadyChatts]

Wonder if Sabiyah thinks voting Kaleb off is still a smart idea.

Poor Sean, he's really emotional.

[Straycat80]

Jeff, it’s second person voted off, Hannah QUIT.

[DEL901]

Voting Kaleb off guarantees a Pagonging.  

Unless there is a tribal shakeup.

That is what happens when you start talking about merges and Final Tribals, etc after winning ONE challenge.  Dumb….

There’s always a shakeup.

I wonder if Sabiyah can make fire without flint.

I think that's what they are banking on, and that's why Kaleb's name got thrown out.  Truthfully, I'd be surprised if Sean is really onboard.  Emily might have been, but at this point she might be willing to go along with anything that isn't her.

[hendersonrocks]

Emily suspecting that someone didn’t vote last time is going to come back into play - I think she tells Kaleb and that saves him. I hope so, at least.

I sure hope so

Neat birds. That's all I've got.

I 100% think she'll tell Kaleb that Sabiyah (who has no vote) was throwing his name out.  It's that and her SITD that she has to try to save herself.

[dizzyd]

If they vote out Kaleb, the 1st 3 TCs are everything Jeff dislikes, a quitter, a weakest link and a stud who Jeff thinks should win. Can’t wait for his reaction.

Reminded me of vultures circling prey. Lulu, the dying tribe. 

[LadyChatts]

So Sabiyah is still onboard with Kaleb going.

She's going to drop her idol in the fire at TC to melt her wax.  Watch this be the shortest TC in history.  Oh, and now she's telling Emily about her idol.

[DEL901]

Kaleb was kind to Emily and she is trying to repay him…hopefully he believes Emily.

I like Kaleb, but when you put it that way, I almost want him to leave.

And maybe Kaleb will be safe.  Emily doesn't trust Sabiyah because she took too long to tell her about the idol.  She's telling Kaleb everything.
