Genevieve — lawyer.  There ya go @susannot

Thank you!  As soon as I figure out who she is, I will root for her to destroy the curse.

[LadyChatts]

Well, at least they are making them work for it.  

I wish Aysha had wrestled him for it.  

Yeah TK, not sure your tribe is going to care that much that you got them those supplies.

She's on the red team

[dizzyd]

Looks like again this year, yellow is on top and red at the bottom. I liked both challenges so far and no one standing out yet on the dislike scale.

How many podcasters are on this season?

Seriously…ugh.  I like podcasts but what makes Ayesha a “Survivor podcaster” — isn’t that what she called herself?

Edited September 19 by MerBearHou

[susannot]

Podcasters are the new content creators.

I did kind of sympathize with Jon when he said basically I was a speechwriter for HRC and Obama, and now I have to introduce myself as a (bleep) podcaster. 

[LadyChatts]

I remember the days when we had a cast that was a majority of bartenders, college students, and pharmaceutical sales reps.

SO MANY SPORTS REFERENCES I can’t pick a favorite.

Anika — good Lord, how FAST do you talk???

Don't forget "entrepreneur," aka "unemployed."

[LadyChatts]

I'm pretty sure your tribe will still find an excuse for you to go at some point TK.  Let's not pat yourself on the back too hard, since you couldn't even master a game of rock vs scissors.

[Straycat80]

Did they leave that girl who lost on the island? 
So Sue is 59. Podcast guy and one other guy are early 40’s. Everyone else are 20’s to early 30’s. Wish they had some older players playing. But they usually get voted off immediately. 
 

edit: ok, Ayesha has to do the walk of shame back to her tribe.

Aysha podcasts about Survivor for Rob Has a Podcast (Rob Cesternino’s company)

Oh great…

[LadyChatts]

Gabe finds the Beware Advantage.  He loses his vote until he get the immunity idol in his possession.  

He didn't want TK to know about the advantage but he got caught.  But then TK...I'm not even sure what to make of him.  I think his mouth moves faster than his brain processes his thoughts.

[truthaboutluv]

Dude, TK's not buying your story. I love how these players sometimes act like the other players haven't watched the show before as well. 

Ah, so Aysha works with Cesternino's podcast. Thought she had her own podcast about the show. Also didn't realize she was keeping that a secret. 

[LadyChatts]

I'd be fine if Rome and Sam (I think he was the wolf in wolf's clothing guy) are the first two to go.  Rome seems like he's seriously going to overplay.  

[iMonrey]

It kills me someone knows who Aysha is but nobody knew who Jon Lovett is. Pod Save America is huge.

[truthaboutluv]

Only now you're realizing this isn't a good idea? 

[SoMuchTV]

I think if I ended up on a tribe with one of the podcasters, I’d have to pull them aside and say, I think I know who you are, but could you talk about 40% faster so I can be sure?

[LadyChatts]

Shouldn't these Survivor fans know what a Beware Advantage is by this point?  Of course, Rome finds it.    He's going to go back and dig for the idol/next clue at night so he doesn't get caught.

[mojoween]

Rome is so unreasonably pleased with himself that I won’t be sad when his torch is snuffed.

[MerBearHou]

The editors must be eating up all of the little “famous last words” that Rome has said just in this short search for the HII.  

[dizzyd]

Damn HII with expiration dates.

[LadyChatts]

Oh I love it, Gabe is telling Sue about his Beware Advantage and wants her to play look out while he gets the key.  So he definitely trusts her more than TK.  I love it.  

And Gabe gets an II good for one TC and has his vote back.  He can risk that and get an II good for 3 TC.  He's going to gamble and go for the 3x II.

[Straycat80]

I thought that box fell apart in that fall. 

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Gabe dropping that box and drawing the attention of his tribe was kind of funny.  And whoever said "That doesn't sound good", maybe get up and check and make sure your tribe mate doesn't need medical or something.

That could've been the premise of one of the old Vs seasons. Survivor 49: Bartenders vs College Kids vs Pharma Sales Reps

[truthaboutluv]

Oh lord, please don't make Andy another psuedo-Banu. We can't go through that again. 

[gorgy]

if anyone woke me up for this nonsense, they'd be my first vote

[Straycat80]

I’m getting quitting vibes from Andy. 

Edited September 19 by Straycat80

[iMonrey]

THis seems to be happening all the time now: someone who starts spiraling on Day 1. WTF.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I get where Rachel is coming from but seriously, show a little empathy. 

But I think Andy is making himself paranoid over nothing.  If he is on the bottom he probably put himself there.

Edited September 19 by LadyChatts

[dizzyd]

I’m just happy we’ve gone through 1h without tears.

[susannot]

Oh, Andy.  Suck it up.

[EllenB]

We seem to have a new Bhanu, who came for free therapy instead of to play the damn game. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

To be fair, she did get up and went down to the beach to talk to him, even while she told him that it was a bad idea.

I don't blame her. She just met this guy and is trying to play her game. I do think she was trying to be sympathetic while yes, obviously feeling some frustation. 

[iMonrey]

Andy will be the first "how did he pass the psych eval" question of the season.

[mojoween]

Andy is freaking me the fuck out.

Andy seems a bit unstable.

Damn Gabe.  Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

eta:  Smart for not being greedy.

A box in a box in a box. Who in the Russian dolls thought of this?

I spoke too soon, I didn't realize Andy was going to go off the rails.  I mean saying that people are cheering Jon for smashing a coconut but not him is not normal.  I don't know what his deal is but it gave me flashbacks to Bhanu begging Tiffany on his hands and knees for help.

[dizzyd]

That was the right decision to take the 3 TC HII. No time before TC to go for the full HII. Gabe handled this better than Rome.

Edited September 19 by dizzyd

[iMonrey]

I wouldn't push my luck either, Gabe. Good call.

[Pepper the Cat]

So he just dunked his whole body into the drinking water? Ewwww

[MerBearHou]

I know Rome is playing hard, but everyone would want the HII if they could find it.

[LadyChatts]

Well, I'm glad that Rome is setting himself nicely for elimination.
