S45.E07: The Thorn in My Thumb LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

So the groups are:

Blue: Emily, Kellie, Sifu, Kendra, Drew, Bruce

Red: Jake, Dee, Austin, Julie, Kaleb, Katurah

[Lantern7]

Katurah, unable to vote off Bruce, and vice versa.

[Carey]

Ghosts Spinoff?  Whatever.  I'd rather see a spinoff involving a D.O.G or Parrot

[mojoween]

Was going to say it would be funny if Emily and Kaleb both win but uhhhh

[LadyChatts]

Emily and Julie are out fast.

[KaveDweller]

How did they all get at the top of the poles to start this challenge?

[LadyChatts]

Dang, people are dropping fast.

I miss the days when it'd be hours (and hours) before these types of challenges would end.

Kellie and Drew are the last two standing on Blue. 

[KaveDweller]

Is Dee the one with the extra big toe that gives her extra balance?

[LadyChatts]

Katurah and Dee are hanging in there for Red.  Austin just fell, Kaleb is still in it for Red.

[Lantern7]

Is it bad that I want someone to drop directly on Probst?

[iMonrey]

RED players: 3 Reba, 2 Belo, 1 Lulu

BLUE players: 3 Belo, 2 Reba, 1 Lulu

[truthaboutluv]

Kellie, Katurah, and Dee have barely moved. 

[Straycat80]

Women are usually good at these kind of challenges. 

[truthaboutluv]

Pretty awesome that two women won both groups. 

[LadyChatts]

Kellie wins immunity for blue, Dee for red.  Now it's about reward and going to TC second.

 

[PaperTree]

This was unexpected.

[mojoween]

Dee’s giant toes have got this.

Much to Jeff’s chagrin, I bet.

[LadyChatts]

Kellie drops, so Red team wins reward and goes to TC second.  

[PaperTree]

Yay Dee!

[Straycat80]

I feel their pain. Good job ladies. 

[LadyChatts]

I'm proud of Kellie, she really hung in there.  She was still hanging when there were 3 members of red left.

[iMonrey]

I can't think of anything worse to eat on an empty stomach than TACOS.

[Carey]

What a battle.  I might've fucked over Bruce and/or whomever if I didn't care about food after winning individual immunity

[dizzyd]

So happy for Dee and Kellie. Was worried when the women started off dropping like flies. 

[Carey]

I can.  For starters: Rice mixed with coconuts and peanut m&m's

[Lantern7]

Idea to make this more interesting . . . schoolyard picks. Imagine being in a position where you can choose someone you either want gone and/or think you can outlast.

[LadyChatts]

As if losing everything wasn't bad enough for Emily, Probst tells her group he is sending them back to the old Lulu beach.

[truthaboutluv]

Curious how these votes will go. Kaleb could be vulnerable but Katurah and Jake are in that group as well, so it's a 3-3 split. 

Blue is even more interesting because numbers wise they can just get rid of Drew and weaken old Reba but Bruce is annoying the fuck out of these people, so who knows.

I was just thinking this.  Tacos are one of my favorite meals, but I know what they do to my stomach when I've been eating normally and staying hydrated.  I don't think I'd want to be within a mile of that beach if I ate something like that on the conditions they've been in!

[iMonrey]

I think Katurah will be in trouble. Dee is safe, Austin has an idol, Reba outnumbers Belo.

The other side is more of a tossup. Bruce, Kendra and Kellie were all Belo, they probably won't target Sifu, so maybe Drew or Emily.

[EllenB]

The way Dee said that unenthusistic "Oh, boy" after talking about her toes, I wonder if production keeps telling her to talk about them and she's completely over that topic.

My feeling is Austin/Dee/Julie will stay tight, so either Kaleb/Jake/Katurah call their bluff and force a tie, or at least one of them flips.  I am nervous for Kaleb, because Jake may want to stay loyal to Belo.  Kaleb is more just a number for him that he might find expendable in this situation.

[dizzyd]

I like Sanctuary reward every week. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Don't they hide idols/advantages/clues at the feasts anymore? 

[Lantern7]

“Whoever goes home tonight makes the jury!”

[LadyChatts]

Yep, Kaleb's name is being tossed out.  

[EllenB]

Julie got into Kendra's magic mushrooms.

[Straycat80]

No one looks like they’ve lost any weight. No one.

I hope Kaleb survives. Julie? She’s not a threat. 

[LadyChatts]

Jake wants to target Julie, because he considers her a weapon for Dee.  I'd be fine if Julie left, since I think she's not playing her own game anyway.

Why does everyone think Sifu has an idol?  

Oh, Drew left his advantage at the other camp in his bag.  I like seeing him kind of squirm for a change.

All this talk about them voting Bruce out means he's probably safe, doesn't it?

[Lantern7]

Drew left his advantage back at camp. That’s funny.

Nice shot of the dolphins, by the way.

[Quilt Fairy]

So the next 45 minutes is nothing but talking and commercials? 

[dizzyd]

Damn Bruce knows his name is being thrown so he’s not going home with a pocket idol tonight ☹️

[LadyChatts]

So Bruce correctly thinks Kendra is throwing his name out because she's running around talking to everyone.  As he's sitting there complaining to Kellie.  Does he ever get up and talk strategy to everyone?  

[Lantern7]

Pretty much. 🙄🙄🙄

[truthaboutluv]

Bruce may be annoying as hell but he's a little more discerning than some might think. He immediately called Kendra's gunning for him.

I'm surprised they wouldn't get it for him.  I don't like Drew, but it seems kind of unfair because it's not like they expected this.  

I think Dee needs to be careful with this 'power position' mentality she has.  She might be good now, when she's got immunity and almost her entire alliance on this small tribe.  This may put a target on her back in the future.

[truthaboutluv]

Dee not everyone wanted Kaleb out. Survivor is a numbers game and the side that wanted to keep Kaleb were outnumbered. That's all that happened and so the players saw no reason at that point in the game to go against the numbers.

Terrible joke aside, Tacos aren't great, but I love them.  However, it depends on the type of taco and what you put in it.  There are a ton of things that don't do well, but to each their own

[LadyChatts]

Have we ever gotten a future look like this before?  So this is definitely between Kaleb and Julie?
