S47.E03: "Belly of the Beast" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[dizzyd]

I’m still not over the fact that Gata saved Andy over Jon because he’s “valuable” in challenges.

[LadyChatts]

Wasn't Andy supposed to be kept around for his strength?

[Lantern7]

Noticing each tribe has an animal. Yes, I’m that bored.

Andy is going to survive the boot, isn’t he?

[truthaboutluv]

The way Tuku is going at that puzzle, I have a feeling once again the puzzle will be the great equalizer and they'll lose. Or I could be wrong, lol

[Quilt Fairy]

They made it look like it was a giant puzzle, but IRL it's much smaller. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Well done Gata!

[dizzyd]

Lol Jeff called the loser before it’s over, that’s a 1st. Now let’s see if the wish that Rome’s ego gets deflated tonight comes true.

Is it novel for each tribe having to go to TC at the start of the season? Usually, one tribe screws the pooch several times in a row.

Three episodes and a different tribe lost everytime.  I actually like this. Like I said, we didn't need another tribe of the damned like the one Kelsie and company were in last season. 

[LadyChatts]

So two of Rome's alleged allies were the weakest ones in the challenge, but somehow he's probably going to blame Asyah for losing it at the puzzle.  And Teeny doesn't seem to have the backbone to potentially make a move and get him and his advantages out of the game (even if his idol won't be good after this TC).

On the plus side, I'm glad each tribe has lost at least once so far.  The seasons where the same tribe of 6 keeps losing over and over gets painful.

[PaperTree]

Cool!  We'll have 5-5-5.  Sadly, Rome will still be there.

Potential fights over the hammocks.  I'd rather have a tarp.

Will Rome's lies get him whacked?  Hope springs eternal.

[gorgy]

I'd like to see Rome go home, but we're not allowed to have nice things

[mojoween]

Andy said he was good at all of the stages.  Did he not see the balance beam orrrrr….?

[LadyChatts]

Sol doesn't believe Rome is telling the truth about not having a vote.  I hope there's some fireworks at TC.  Rome needs to get put in his place.  

So week 1, the obvious person didn't go home.  Last week, the obvious person did go.  Wonder how this week will go.

I like Asyah so if it's between her and Sol I hope he goes.  Even though he seems nice, in the 5 seconds we've seen him this season.

[dizzyd]

Damn, I forgot Rome has to play his idol tonight.

[Lantern7]

Looking at Rome’s shirt. Reminded that Erik kinda/sorta coveted it on his Instagram.

ETA: I found the link.

Sol is so over it

[LadyChatts]

I'm sure Sol will be glad to see the back of Rome, too.  So now they want to overcomplicate things by trying to make Sol feel comfortable enough not to play his SITD.  

I like how he said to Rome they've been sitting there for 30 seconds and he's already 99% sure it's Asyah.

Somewhere Boston Rob just did a spit-take when Rome called himself his Godson.

[EllenB]

I don't want Sol to leave. He's the calm adult.

[LadyChatts]

I love how Sol isn't buying what he's selling.  When Rome acts like he's going to win a Survivor Academy Award for how well he's playing Sol.  

I thought I liked Teeny and Kishaun but I'm finding them to be getting insufferable, too.

[Grizzly]

In what universe would Rome play his idol for anyone but Rome?

[truthaboutluv]

Why would Aysha fight so hard for Sol? It would make more sense if she was more stubborn about wanting Rome out because they all find him annoying.

But this early in the game, and with so few numbers, girlfriend has to look out for herself. Sometimes it's just about getting through a tribal council and worry about the next few days after.

I wouldn’t miss Genevieve if she went seeing as I didn’t know she existed till today and even then I thought, hey there’s Waldo.

I'm hoping to be thrown for a loop this week of all weeks but I think it's predictably between him and Asyah.  If Sol goes I hope his parting words to the tribe are how much Rome's acting skills suck.

[Lantern7]

Wanting The Summit to fail doesn’t make me a bad person, right?

[LadyChatts]

I'm guessing Kishaun said the quiet part out loud there.  

[PaperTree]

Kishan should STFU

[Lantern7]

Probst gets the title quote.

[gorgy]

Kishan a little too cocky

[LadyChatts]

Just now, PaperTree said:

I was liking him but he's starting to get an ego on him. 

[Lantern7]

At least the music is nice and tense.

“Does it count if nobody spelled my name correctly?”

[dizzyd]

So who’s vote did Rome steal?

[PaperTree]

Bummer.  I liked her.

[Michichick]

awwww, Aysha. That’s too bad. And nobody could spell her name correctly.

[gorgy]

we're running low on podcasters

[Lantern7]

Looks like I’ll be tuning in next week. #SurvivorGeorgeCostanza

Could be nobody's.  If not, can he use it again?  

[LadyChatts]

Well damn.  I've lost two people I've liked so far.  This season is shaping up rough.

He didn’t have to use it. Usually, you have to declare whose vote you’re going to steal.

We've lost TAR because of it.  No, it doesn't make you a bad person.

She is smart.  You don't tackle someone who has more power than you currently and will use it.  You lie low in the bushes and wait for your moment.

I like The Summit so far.  New Zealand is awesome. 

And no we didn't "lose" TAR because of it.  CBS could have had both on.  It's on CBS only that TAR is only on once this year next spring.

What CBS should have done was since TAR would only be on once this year made the producers of The Summit have Phil host this show too since it is in his beloved New Zealand.  The host they hired is a real sour puss without any charm at all.

The only thing I didn't like about The Summit (other than the boorish host) is CBS pushing it down our throats every freaking commercial break. 

Which again is on CBS.  They never seem to advertise products on this network anymore.  Just push their shows on us every damn commercial break.  They must not run the network on ad revenues any more.

He didn't have to.  He HAD to use his idol tonight or lose it so he used that instead. 

The steal a vote doesn't have a time limit.  He will have to decide when/if he needs to use it in the future.  The others will have to use this knowledge to their advantage if they can assure him he is totally safe and in charge and there is no need to use it in the short term if they want to ambush him.
