S46 Ep. 13 Finale/Aftershow LIVE CHAT

[LadyChatts]

Live chat thread for the finale and after-show (3 hours tonight)

[Straycat80]

Good evening all! Here we go! 

[Carey]

Off we go!

[WatcherUp2]

Our long national nightmare is almost over!

[gorgy]

[LadyChatts]

23 days without rice?  Doesn't Liz have rice at least?

Anyway, happy finale everyone!  I'm sad it's over.  This season hasn't been dull, I'll give it that.

[Lantern7]

Make the bad season go away . . . 

[Carey]

Sure hasn't, LadyChatts.  Had it's ups & downs.  It was rather vexatious that everybody left with an idol in consecutive episodes, but what I year I suppose

[Straycat80]

Who is everyone rooting for? Right now for me it’s Maria or Charlie. 

[LadyChatts]

I think Maria needs to be reminded that everyone was lying to her because they wanted to pull off the Q blindside.  That's kind of the point of a blindside.

 

[wallflower75]

At this point, and I didn’t think I’d say this at the start of the season—Kenzie.  She was on the worst tribe at the start of this season, and here she is at the end.  That’s what surviving is all about.

[truthaboutluv]

Charlie played this well. He knows Maria was full of shit and intended to come for him but he made her think he was buying her story.

I'm rooting for outcomes.  Specifically someone getting voted out with an idol at TC, which becomes invalid at the TC that follows it

A few weeks ago I compared it to being almost as bad as 43, but honestly, I think it's better.  Not as good as 42 and 45 for me, but I'd probably rank it middle tier.  I like the fact that there hasn't been one alliance just dominating the end game like last season.

[MerBearHou]

My favorite is Charlie by far.  

Kenzie is extremely likable.  Ben is a good guy but a non-entity.  Maria is impressive in her challenge wins.  And Liz, I mute her when she speaks.

[iMonrey]

Anyone but Maria.

Which means Maria will win. 😠

[gorgy]

oh Ben is there. I forget he exists all the time

[truthaboutluv]

In terms of who I want to win, honestly, I like all the players left well enough (well, except for Liz, even though she hasn't bugged me as much in recent episodes) but if I have to go on gameplay - it does seem like Maria or Charlie played the best game. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Randen?  How can I remember Jelinksky but not Randem?

[ponygirl]

Even though Maria has earned Final 3, I would not mind seeing her go next. She is condescending and selfish. Saying she’s just realizing the others are playing the game is silly.

[Lady Calypso]

I used to say Maria but her indecisiveness and unwillingness to own her game has caused her to slip.

I'd love a Kenzie or Charlie win. A Liz win would be hilarious and, to be fair, she DOES have a couple of moves under her belt.

 

[dizzyd]

I’m wondering if I’ll survive 3h. We’ve come full circle with the geckos.

TBH, I think I'd be cool if anyone took it.  I'm rooting for Charlie, but I'm okay with Maria because I think she got humbled big time and I can't deny she's played a decent strategic game up until her blunder last week.  Liz winning would be hysterical just because why not, it seems like it'd fit this season.  And then Ben and Kenzie are just there.  Kenzie I think also got pretty humbled post-merge, and Ben...well, he's there.  That's about all I got on Ben lol  But Kenzie I think has played a fairly decent game.

Because he was a bigger tool,  and Probst will jam him down our throats more than Randen.

[Straycat80]

This challenge seems difficult. The people who make these up are sadists. 

[gorgy]

whoever wins, we all lose

[WatcherUp2]

If Maria wins, she'll have earned it, but I don't like her very much. I'd like Kenzie to win just because she's so nice and she's still there, but I know it's not enough to win. Ben is still "Who? There's a Ben?", Liz is a bad joke, so I guess I'm Team Charlie by default. He's nice, he's smart, and does well in most challenges.

[iMonrey]

I don't get this show's hardon for making them climb through nets and being covered in mud. I do not find it amusing or entertaining.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh, this is fun. Maria vs Charlie.

[truthaboutluv]

Wait, Liz left the key? Didn't she think she needed it for a reason?

Well that's the thing. Sure, maybe Maria "earned" it, but that doesn't mean I l wanna see someone I don't like get a million dollars.

Maria will definitely be a target if she loses (I can't see how she isn't) but if Charlie loses I'm curious if he'll be the obvious target or if it'll shift to someone else.

Pre-mature celebration there by Kenzie (but in fairness, I thought she won too).  I guess I wasn't listening to Jeff either.  

And Liz is giving up her chance at immunity to help Kenzie.

[Lady Lucy]

Oy, Kenzie.

 

[truthaboutluv]

Damn, they REALLY don't want Maria to win that Liz goes all the way back to count that plank for Kenzie.

[Straycat80]

Liz   Helping Kenzie to win. 

[dizzyd]

I have never seen this before at this stage. Someone taking the time to help someone else when they know they don’t have a chance 

[Lady Calypso]

Well then, I don't think this has happened, someone outright stopping THEIR puzzle to go run and grab someone else's to help them out.

I guess it's allowed?

[LadyChatts]

You know, I kind of hate how they can help each other here.  It's not the first time we've seen people helping each other on here, and I know it won't be the last.  But it's kind of annoying.  

[dizzyd]

Surely Maria is toast on this vote. And that would be a compliment.

[Straycat80]

Maria is gone. 

[iMonrey]

YES! 

I can hear the screams of "unfair" already.

[wallflower75]

That’s a new one for me.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone intentionally tank their chance to win to defeat someone else.

Liz knew she had no shot of winning because she wasn't even close on the puzzle and they REALLY want Maria out. 

[gorgy]

Liz being the worst as usual

[ponygirl]

Wow Liz 

[iMonrey]

Oh shit there's still a HII out there.

[LadyChatts]

People are too nice on here.  I'd be bitter AF if I was Maria.  And I wasn't even rooting for her to win.

 

[Lantern7]

Well, that was stupid.

[Carey]

I may not admire Liz, but I definitely do not have a problem with her helping out Kenzie.  Though we'll see if someone else can take advantage of that if it gets to that at the end of the day

[Brown44]

If Maria is voted out then Charlie should win automatically from the counsel.
