S45.E09: Sword of Damocles LIVE CHAT

[Lady Calypso]

Why is Austin lying about not having a vote? They're gonna find out at Tribal Council. This is such a stupid ass move from Austin. It's just another point against him at the end.

[LadyChatts]

So now Jake is throwing Kendra's name out.  

[Pepper the Cat]

I want to see the solution for the puzzle. I think they showed a quick flash but I need a longer shot.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, I love Julie not wanting to do Kendra. There are cracks in the four!

[LadyChatts]

I'm really hoping something happens at TC and someone from Reba goes.  They are way too arrogant.

[Straycat80]

I think Kendra is gone.

I wish she'd realize that she isn't being taken seriously in the alliance.  Why does Dee just get the say?  I wish Julie would stick to her guns and vote Jake, but she'll probably have to cave.

Thanks! Love you

[LadyChatts]

Something epic could actually happen but because Reba has the power it probably won't.

Oh wait, Drew is telling Emily that it's not Jake but Kendra.  Maybe this will put something in motion?  I hate Jeff for taking away votes from people!  We could get a Reba going home tonight if not for this.

[Lantern7]

Can we get to Tribal Council, please?

[Lady Calypso]

What is wrong with me this episode? Am I actually kind of liking Drew? 

I'm intrigued to see who wins out: Dee or Julie?

I do have to say, as much as Dee is annoying me, I LOVE her being the true leader of their tribe. Unfortunately, like most women in these games, she's a target over the men in her alliance, but I love that she's being the vocal one and dominating the game.

[LadyChatts]

So basically this will come down to Kendra or Jake.  I wish by a miracle Dee gets blindsided.

Won’t happen, but that sure would be fun to see!

I am apparently at a table for one, but I really really like Bruce.  I think he’s very good-hearted and yes, he’s old school and wears his emotions on his sleeve (I am kind of the same and it’s hard for me to fake it when I’m hurt inside), but he is someone I’d like to know.  Him finding out that Kellie wasn’t that fond of him really injured him, I believe, and I also believe he’ll go home and ask his wife and daughter if he’s overbearing.  Part of it is his strong voice and big personality.  

I feel he’s a blowhard who thinks too highly about himself. It doesn’t help that I think Probst wants him to win, because it would be a good story after he had to bow out of S44 early. Whatever Probst wants is seldom good.

[Straycat80]

I think the Fab Four of Dee, Drew, Austin and Julie is going to be around for awhile. I would still like to see any of them blindsided though.

Yeah, I'm still praying that maybe Emily actually has her vote and her losing was some big red herring so we get surprised tonight, but I know I'm just reaching because I want something exciting to happen.  It's probably going to be Kendra or Jake.  

[dizzyd]

None of those scenarios warrants the use of an idol, so wonder why all the foreshadowing in the beginning.

Especially because Austin has two idols.  I swear the Survivor Gods are just shining down on him this season.  Outside of not getting his sandwich when he wanted it he's been very fortunate at every turn.

Maybe Jake found an idol somehow and we're gonna see him pull one out?

[LadyChatts]

Of the current idol holders, I can't believe one is coming into play.  Bruce would be stupid not to hang onto his, and Austin would probably not think he needs to play either of his.  Maybe it's foreshadowing for the future.

We would have seen it by now.

Katurah has her jacket on.

[Straycat80]

Bruce had nothing to do with voting you out Kellie. 

[LadyChatts]

Just now, Lady Calypso said:

I still wonder if someone found one at Belo and we never saw.  I don't even remember seeing anyone search over there.  If someone got voted off with one we probably would have seen that because they love showing people go home with idols and advantages in their pockets.

[Lady Calypso]

I think she means that Bruce would have been sitting in Kellie's place had he not been safe last Tribal.

[MerBearHou]

Are Kellie and Kaleb holding hands?

[Lantern7]

Maybe she thinks Bruce would’ve been the obvious target if he hadn’t won immunity? I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

Not necessarily, sometimes they've shown people in a flashback finding something.  They use the element of surprise.  I do feel like Reba is too cocky at this vote, but I still think it'll be Kendra or Jake leaving.

[dizzyd]

Non game related, but I’m shipping Kaleb and Kellie in ponderosa.

I was thinking more like what if he found one earlier in the day, after him talking about not looking for one.

Unlikely, but just throwing out a possibility. I have to imagine an idol is on their beach somewhere.

If it hasn't been found then it's probably hiding until Austin goes looking.

Kaleb and Kellie are not impressed with Bruce.  And not that this is breaking news, but neither is Katurah.

[Lantern7]

Drew brings up the Sword of Damocles.

[LadyChatts]

Is Kendra feeling suspicious?

Oh, did Drew just slip that Austin actually has his vote?

[Lantern7]

Another Pokémon mention!

[LadyChatts]

I wish we would get blindsided and maybe Emily really has her vote or someone has an idol that they didn't show them finding.

Kendra definitely suspects something.

[Straycat80]

When Jeff tallies the vote they can tell that Austin voted. 

[Lady Calypso]

Well, I guess Dee won this time. Kendra's gone, and she's not surprised in the slightest.

Not necessarily.

[LadyChatts]

I was just thinking that this season has been my favorite of the new era, but I'm going to get bored if Reba just runs it.

[PaperTree]

Boom!  And she kept her mouth closed!

I think, if Reba had SOME adversity at this point, it would be an amazing season. Or if Reba turns on each other before F4. 

[Straycat80]

Bye Kendra. I won’t miss your googley eyes and weird noises. Jake lives to see another day. 

[dizzyd]

Well Dee sent Kendra to her bff and all the chicken she wants.

It will be do or die the next vote because it'll be a 4/4 split.  The problem is Jake and Katurah don't mind working with Reba, so that only leaves Emily and Bruce.  If Bruce loses immunity everyone knows he'll probably play his idol so they may try to flush it and flip the vote somewhere else.  The only person who might turn on Reba is Julie, but she seems too close to Dee at this point.  

[Carey]

So long Kendra.  Not the best boot in my life this week TBH!

[PaperTree]

Hopefully Kaleb can get off by himself in jury and avoid her.

[LadyChatts]

It's too bad that Kendra was suspicious but didn't have time to act on it.
