LadyChatts February 29 Share February 29 Hopefully it is okay to start a live chat thread. Happy premiere day! Two hours tonight and I think next week, then 90 minutes for the rest of the season (well, except the finale). 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 I was wondering if there would be a live thread. Who’s doing the narration? The guy gets the game. Link to comment
dizzyd February 29 Share February 29 Have we ever had any besides JP narrate the open before? So happy my show is back. Been binge watching Titans v Rebels the last few days to get in my Survivor zone. 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 (edited) Oh hey fun drinking game this season! Take a shot of your favorite beverage everytime Taylor Swift or someone says they are a Swiftie is mentioned! Edited February 29 by LadyChatts 2 2 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 Soda? She’s a special education teacher, so I’ll be rooting for her. Q?!? Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 Okay some of these people seem more promising than they did in their interviews. And that's what I miss-Probst doing his big dramatic entrance. I miss the days of different locations when he'd be standing on top of a volcano or leaning out of a helicopter or batting jungle vines out of his way as he did his spiel. We are getting a lot of info on the contestants in their own words already. 3 Link to comment

Take a shot of your favorite beverage everytime Taylor Swift or someone says they are a Swiftie is mentioned! Or every time someone refers to themself as quirky. Ugh. Other people can call you that, but if you use it to describe yourself, you sink to the bottom of my list. 5 1 Link to comment
truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 Let's hope the board remains stable the whole season this time. 3 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 Wow Probst, great pep talk. 'Most of you guys are going to be losers that aren't going to win no matter what you think, but thanks for coming out!' I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't going to be soft anymore. 1 6 1 Link to comment

Michichick February 29 Share February 29 I wish Jonathan LaPaglia could host this version. I like him more than Probst 1 Link to comment
PaperTree February 29 Share February 29 Quite the motley crew, Um, who likes to lose? Hope he loses early Link to comment

'Most of you guys are going to be losers that aren't going to win no matter what you think, but thanks for coming out!' I mean he's not wrong. Only one person can win and it is true that one of the best parts of this game is that there are always the players who think they're outsmarting everyone, while instead everyone can see through them and plotting to get rid of them. 2 Link to comment
dizzyd February 29 Share February 29 18 players is just too small if a cast. Does no one want to do survivor anymore. The loud mouths are already annoying me. 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 (edited) So Bhanu said a secret he doesn't want his tribe to know is that he's had issues with his shoulder (dislocated I think 10 times and if I understood correctly recent shoulder surgery). So I was sort of cringing seeing him carrying that big puzzle piece back to his tribe's mat. 5 minutes ago, dizzyd said: 18 players is just too small if a cast. Does no one want to do survivor anymore. The loud mouths are already annoying me. I wish we could have a cast of 20 again and back to 2 tribes. Having starting tribes of 6 people just sometimes make the first vote or two so obvious, and doesn't always give people a chance to tip the scales in their favor.

truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 Anyone else expecting with how hard the players were pushing the key off the pole that one of them would throw it too far and lose it? Just me... 2 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 (edited) TAR commercial! ”Slot machine salesman”? Well, it’s not as weird-sounding as “elevator salesman.” Edited February 29 by Lantern7 3 Link to comment

Oh yeah, I'm just surprised that he's right off the bat saying 'all but one of you are losers and don't even know it yet.' But hey, Jem gets the assignment and has already declared herself the winner! Oh and Jelinsky says he's the monster that Jeff refers to in the game. So at least one of them is losing. Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 (edited) So Purple (Yanu?) lost the challenge and got stuck with the Sweat challenge. Q and Jelinsky are doing the challenge for their tribe, while the girls and Bhanu are back bonding at camp. Bhanu seems nice but needs to stop talking in third person. Siga came in second and chose to do savvy. Of course, it's putting together a puzzle. Two of the guys volunteer to do the tribe (Ben and Charlie). Personally, I wouldn't want to be separated from what is a small majority in the group, but I guess it can also be a bad look if no one volunteers. Edited February 29 by LadyChatts Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 Bhanu loves third-person. And he’s way too hyped. 1 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 Hopefully Maria and Tim don't swear on their kids and then betray that person, because even in this new era people seem to take that seriously. Ben and Charlie are not being successful with this puzzle. And they've lost the challenge for their tribe-but on the bright side they've named themselves the Dumb and Dumber alliance. 1 Link to comment
truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 Girl, why would you talk about how successful you supposedly are on Survivor? That's a surefire way to ensure no one's going to want to vote to give you the million. 4 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 And Soda got fire for her tribe. I admit, I like when the women can come through like that. Usually it's the men who hog the flint or make-shift supplies and don't let the women try. 4 1 Link to comment

Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 I think Savvy task was too tricky. Decoy lock box is a nice touch, though. Nice hourglass toss, guy who wants to be called by the last name! 1 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 I don't think Jelinsky made a good impression in front of Q there, who no doubt will tell the tribe how he just chucked the hour glass on the beach and broke it. Did he say they still had time left? 2 Link to comment
dizzyd February 29 Share February 29 These people suck. This is the problem with watching the current season of Aussie survivor at the same time, I should have expected the disappointment. 6 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 Well, this probably beats watching The Challenge reunion. I hope. Link to comment

Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 (edited) “Parent Coach”? Man, the occupations are all over the place. Hey, another girl named Moriah! Maybe it’s more common than I thought. Kenzie looks like she got hit by an ink truck. Edited February 29 by Lantern7 1 3 Link to comment

This is the problem with watching the current season of Aussie survivor at the same time, I should have expected the disappointment. I think the casts are just becoming too cookie cutter. I never thought I'd miss the themes but I think that helped shake casting up a little. I feel like everyone is well educated and well off and/or has some sad backstory where they rose through the fire and overcame the odds. I miss when we had a mix of people from different backgrounds. 7 1 Link to comment
WatcherUp2 February 29 Share February 29 Ugh, Moriah, can you save some of your emotional oversharing for the rest of the episodes? You made me want to do a Homer-backing-into-the-shrubbery retreat. 1 2 Link to comment
Michichick February 29 Share February 29 9 minutes ago, LadyChatts said: Did he say they still had time left? Yes, he said a couple of hours 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 (edited) "The women came together and I believe I have an alliance". Yeah, I hear that every season. And another alliance name, this time between Kenzie and Jelinsky who bond over tattoos. "Shaggy and Daphne." Honestly Kenzie may seriously be overplaying here. I like her so I hope she reigns it in. She thinks she has an alliance with her Shaggy, plus Tiffany and Q and thinks they are good because they have numbers. Again, this never seems to go well day 1 when people think they have the majority. Edited February 29 by LadyChatts Link to comment
truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 Poor Hunter - being tortured by the camp songs. He seems like a low-key, introverted personality stuck on a tribe of extroverts. Hunter's situation would be my worse nightmare, as a fellow introvert. 7 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 1 minute ago, Michichick said: Yes, he said a couple of hours Okay, that's what I thought he said. So Jelinsky really just gave up. I get that was a hard challenge, but it looked like even he admitted Q was doing most of the work. Yet he wasn't throwing the hour glass across the beach. Oh hey, yet another alliance name! The Andy Griffith alliance, between fans Hunter and Tevin. I like them and I love classic TV so I'm here for this one. 4 Link to comment
MerBearHou February 29 Share February 29 So terribly inconsiderate of Jelinsky, both quitting with two hours left in the hourglass and breaking glass on the sand that someone has to pick up after him 13 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 So the girls alliance on Green (Maria, Moriah, and Jem) want to pull in Charlie to get a majority. Maria jokes they can be Charlie's Angels, so I'll count it as yet another alliance name. Charlie said he's only ever had women bosses so he thinks this alliance of women is perfect for him. And Tim seems...upset that the women are playing? And because he has a wife and a grandmother he knows how women operate? Okay, he can go first. 3 2 Link to comment
dizzyd February 29 Share February 29 Wow, day 1 and there have been more alliance names than on big brother day 1. Charlie reminds me of Spencer. When the girls talked about pulling him, I had to do a double take. 2 Link to comment
truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 Um Venus, I don't think it was that deep. 1 Link to comment
LadyChatts February 29 Author Share February 29 And Venus realizes that being called a princess by Tevin means she's on the bottom automatically (and she's not exactly disputing the designation) and she's out idol hunting. Pretty poorly because she caught Randen's attention when she walked into a spider web or had a spider fall on her. Now she's even more on the radar. He calls her "Parvati-lite" to Soda, who apparently isn't buying what he's selling (because she has Sodar). I can't keep up with this group. But I think I'm digging her and Venus! 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 29 Share February 29 The names are too “out there” for me. Such a wide range. 1 Link to comment
truthaboutluv February 29 Share February 29 (edited) Maybe I wasn't thinking about it deeply enough, but I actually don't think Tevin meant anything by the Princess comment to Venus and definitely not, "oh it means you're at the bottom." But her over the top reaction to it did lead to the hilarity of a growing beef between her and Brandon. So there is that. Edited February 29 by truthaboutluv Link to comment
