S45.E05: I Don't Want to Be the Worm LIVE CHAT

[Lady Calypso]

Why does Emily keep calling Brando "Brendo"?

Oh, I really hope it's Drew tonight, but with the powers him and Austin have, I'm afraid for Kendra/Brando.

[LadyChatts]

And apparently Emily thought Kendra/Brando were a pair and she'd have to pick a side.

[PaperTree]

Kendra is a hoot!

I fully expect Austin to come back with the 'Drew and Austin can not be voted out tonight at TC' advantage.  I'd love nothing more than Drew to get knocked off the pedestal he put himself on.

[Straycat80]

I hope it’s Drew but Kendra’s starting to get on my nerves. 

[EllenB]

Okay, Kendra, you're not really as entertaining as you think you are. Dial it back several thousand notches, mkay?

[LadyChatts]

I will give Drew this much, he was surprised Brando put up no fight and was willing to just sacrifice Kendra.  I get that he and Kendra aren't working together but still.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, take the Amulets. The food is only a temporary boost until, like, the next day. The Amulet can be useful for the rest of the game.

[Lamb18]

I have the same glasses as Kellie.

[dizzyd]

I’d take the sandwich coz you can’t rely on the amulet twist and also to remove one of Jeff’s many advantages from the game.

[KaveDweller]

Those amulets have lots of rules and twists, just eat the food!

[Lady Calypso]

True.

On the other hand, your tribes are just gonna assume you have an advantage anyway, because who would believe someone chose food that sustains you for a day vs a power that can be useful going forward?

[LadyChatts]

I think going with the amulets is a smarter idea.  I can see why Mr. I Have Idols and Advantages wouldn't want one.  I think they can be powerful.

It said that they have to be used together, but then gain power as each amulet is eliminated?  I don't see how Austin doesn't see that as an advantage.

[Straycat80]

I hate these complicated advantage things, just eat the sandwiches. 

[Lady Calypso]

I mean...Austin isn't FULLY wrong but he also is putting it out there that the three can't work together, so if he's already on the side that he can't work with J or Kellie, it's already not going to happen.

[EllenB]

Have all these players been coached to be SO dramatic all the time? It's annoying as hell to watch them flailing their arms around in confessional, and to talk using every damn note or more  in the octave. Ugh.

[LadyChatts]

I'm glad Austin didn't win that round.

I started off liking him but am totally turned off now.  Wish somehow he and Drew could go tonight.

[Lady Calypso]

I think Drew is my BEC.

Drew: Emily doesn't TRUST ME? What? HOW CAN SHE NOT TRUST ME! 

Gee, Mr. Know It All, maybe because she barely knows you.

[Lamb18]

Poor baby Austin didn't get his sammie. Waaa!

[Lady Calypso]

I really hate how comfortable Drew and Austin are.

I like Austin, but I really hate how aligned with Drew he is. 

[LadyChatts]

If I were Austin I would have just lied and said we ate the sandwich.  Easier story to stick with.

[KaveDweller]

Hopefully all three of them agreed on a story, or the lie will be found out very quickly at the merge.

[mojoween]

The War and Peace length instructions on the amulets made me want to go make my own sandwich.

[LadyChatts]

I do think telling Emily about one of their advantages might get her back on their side.

And sorry Drew, you guys will never be an epic duo.

I don't know why he went with that complicated story. Why would the choice between eating food and....doing a strenuous task for the chance of an advantage? 

It doesn't make sense; those two options are completely lopsided.

[dizzyd]

Yeah I’m fixing myself a sandwich too.

They think they're gonna be some epic duo that will be remembered for future seasons.

Meanwhile, the majority of the audience are annoyed by both.

And I'd be suspicious of him again, wondering if he really did get something.  Just make them envious you got to eat something.

Another early TC so maybe something will go down tonight.  I'd actually love it if Austin/Drew went through all their advantages and Emily intended on voting with them the whole time.

Maybe he was afraid someone would demand to sniff his breath.

 I mean, here's the thing. If Austin decides to not vote and Emily votes with Drew, it'll be 2v2 with Drew and Brando, which leaves Emily/Kendra as the only people who can revote, exposing Austin for having SOME advantage and who knows if Emily/Kendra will vote together, at that stage.

[LadyChatts]

I half wonder if Brando plays his SITD and it works.  Maybe Drew ends up going because he didn't take it?  Yeah, that's what I'd like to see happen.  I don't think Austin would have hesitated to hold onto it and still vote Brando off.

[Carey]

Man, I don't know whether to respect Kendra's honesty or say goodbye

[MerBearHou]

Kendra has a bit of Drew Barrymore in her manner of speaking and actions.

Edited October 26, 2023 by MerBearHou

[LadyChatts]

So Austin gets the goodwill advantage from Drew and is able to vote plus extend his idol powers (personally I think that's a loophole but whatever).

[PaperTree]

Bummer!

[MerBearHou]

Shallow, but I think Austin is gorgeous.

[dizzyd]

Meh didn’t care about Brando without the n or the one one with.

[Carey]

Too bad

[Straycat80]

Aw Brando. Bye! Emily went with Drew and Austin. 

[LadyChatts]

I like how Kendra is genuinely shocked.  Being in the middle isn't always a good place Emily.  I know she didn't have a choice, but she would have weakened Austin by getting rid of Drew.  Brando and Kendra didn't have that bond together.

He reminds me of Apollo Ohno when he was an Olympian.

I didn't have the guy, but it's a ME problem if I lose sleep over his exit

Yes he does! And Drew reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Ah, that's who he reminds me of too!  I've been trying to figure it out.

Oooh, good comparison!

Bye, Brando — I had zero connection to you so NBD.

[Carey]

Not sure if it's a win or a loss (or a push) that someone other than LULU got the boot tonight

[dizzyd]

Merge already!
