S45.E10: How Am I the Mobster? LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Katurah has to be a strategic decision.  But I'm glad she got picked too.

[Carey]

Letters from home.

Always emotional...never great being away from love ones that long

[LadyChatts]

All the ladies get to go!  I'm surprised she didn't pick Austin and/or Drew.

[Lady Calypso]

And Emily chooses all the women to join her. 

It's not the worst idea. I think choosing two Reba and one Belo was smart, especially if Emily believes Dee is the leader of Reba 4. 

[Lantern7]

“Guys? Got nothin’ for ya. Jack ‘em if you can do it.”

Ew, Probst cut a promo after the challenge.

I wouldn't want a letter from home. I think it would just make it harder, not better.

[Carey]

Yeah.  I think Drew wasn't even try to beg.  I believe he was saying what he said because it's the case

I honestly wouldn't give a shit but maybe I'm just a cold hearted so-and-so. 

[mojoween]

I was never one who got irritated at the loved ones visits, but that was when the game was longer and it had been a month or more by that time.  But these fools blatting all over the place for a letter is silly.

I'm glad she picked Dee, but I definitely think this was another strategic decision.  Julie I think she was just being nice, but since Emily knows Austin/Drew are tight with Dee (or at least suspects it), maybe this is her way of trying to feel her out.

It does seem to have Austin a little worried.

[Straycat80]

At one point the girls had talked about an all women alliance. It’s not too late.

I was not surprised when I heard Austin say something along the lines of him being worried about "girls night". Like, what a surprise a man is intimidated by the mere thought of women hanging out. They could be.....CONSPIRING AGAINST THE MEN, OH NO!

I know Austin didn't outright say he was paranoid that the women would band together, but it felt implied because why else would he specifically say "girls night"?

I’d be in it for the dinner and bed. I’m surprised the shower wasn’t included.

Utensils!

[Lady Calypso]

I do think this Sanctuary segment is needed. The women haven't really had a lot of screentime together like this, so it's good to see these four interact more.

I'm just glad Katurah had the chance to get away from Bruce and we get to hear her talk about someone else.

Oh wait, never mind lol

[Lantern7]

I was gonna bring up Katurah wanting Bruce out, but she beat me to it.

Edited November 30, 2023 by Lantern7

[KaveDweller]

It's gotta suck to be Bruce watching the show and see all the times people talked about how annoying he is.

[Lady Calypso]

Every time we see Jake near a fire, I get worried he's about to have another episode.

I meant, seriously.  If Emily chose Austin over Dee, that would be dumb.

Now if she chose Bruce....there wouldn't even need to be a vote unless Emily went back-to-back

[Lady Calypso]

What in the music video fuckery is this boys segment, coupled with crappy music?

She beat you by 7 months /s

[LadyChatts]

Yep, this is pretty much what I expected the guys to be doing back at camp.

[dizzyd]

Well thanks Emily for giving us a boys night out. 🤮

The proper term was “pulling a Skupin,” but that took on a whole new meaning.

Oh, man, the soundtrack! Where’s the volleyball net?!?

[iMonrey]

Burping and farting. This is why the show needs an extra 30 minutes huh? And WTF is this 80s music?

[Straycat80]

Ladies are strategizing and drinking wine. Guys are being guys, farting and being guys. 

[mojoween]

OMG “Playin’ With the Boys” I CANNOT. 😀

[Lantern7]

Cheesy Petes, Drew should never ever pose.

[mojoween]

I felt sad for that pretty fish.

[willco]

I think Drew is even skinnier than I was at that age ( and I was skinny ! ) :)

[Carey]

Burping & farting is not worth an extra 30 minutes, ITA.  IDC what the music track is....80s music is worth 60 minutes of bonus there.  ISWIS

[LadyChatts]

So if Bruce wins immunity then it's probably Jake.  But it sounds like the ladies are going to split the vote between Bruce and Jake.

 

[Straycat80]

I can’t believe these guys believe Bruce’s lie. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, ok, I like this segment of the boys being buffoons and believing the lie, but meanwhile, the women were all laughing at Bruce trying to lie about not having the idol.

Goes to show how much smarter the women are.

[LadyChatts]

Okay Austin, you can cut back on the dramatic face, this wasn't that incredible.

[Lady Calypso]

And yes, I know Katurah told them about the lie, but no doubt Dee and Julie wouldn't have believed it, anyway.

[iMonrey]

Did they even read their letters from home? Or are we still waiting on that "treat?"

[dizzyd]

Hilarious how the ladies were so unbelieving of the Bruce tall tale while the guys were just the opposite. They’ve been inhaling all those farts and toxified their grey cells.

Ugh! Time for a snack break. 

[iMonrey]

The food? I would probably cry over. A letter from home? Not so much.

You realize the people who wrote these letters have no idea if these people were the very first ones voted out and never even got to see them.

[PaperTree]

Fart fest and a cry fest.  Ugh.

[Lady Calypso]

So NOW we finally get more on Katurah? Ten episodes later and this is what we finally get about Katurah? Damn.

[LadyChatts]

So Katurah hasn't had contact with her mom in a year and that's who she got her letter from?  Survivor sure knows how to cut deep!

[Lantern7]

Here’s where my mind went seeing Drew.

I couldn’t link the pic directly.

Edited November 30, 2023 by Lantern7

[Straycat80]

Didn’t they get to take a shower or anything? So not good things always happen at the sanctuary. 

[Lady Calypso]

Emily: Everyone's coming after you.

Jake: Drew's turning on me?

Emily: Everyone is, yeah.

Jake: But....but Drew?

 

[LadyChatts]

I worry about Emily playing both sides here.  I appreciate the jury management effort (which is more than I can say for Drew), but I worry it'll come back to bite her.

[mojoween]

Jake needs to win immunity to make this even a little bit interesting.  Even if he is one of the not smartest players ever.
