S47.E07: "Our Pickle on Blast" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

The Immunity Challenge leaves one group of castaways with a much-needed reward and safety in the game.

This is the episode's live chat thread.

[Straycat80]

Good evening! Now if they will vote off Andy I’ll be happy.

I'd rather see him get Sam or Sierra first (then he can go).  

[Pepper the Cat]

Here we go!

 

[LadyChatts]

I still think it's gross and wrong they don't let the castaways clean up before they eat.

And I love some good post-TC drama!  I hope Andy gives it.

Okay, Andy can drop the dramatics about having his name written down.

[truthaboutluv]

Honestly, I find the "interrogations" when someone's name is written down annoying. It's Survivor dude, get over it.

There's a Sierra? I've got to try to stay awake for at least one episode, but with this bunch, it's nearly impossible.

[dizzyd]

I’m very conflicted about Andy getting a good edit. 
Gen gravitates to the ones I didn’t like.

Is the title a euphemism?

Andy is getting a lot of air time tonight. 

[LadyChatts]

I like Genevieve.  She's been playing pretty solidly so far.

[gorgy]

I just remembered it was Wednesday

Welcome to my world.  I thought yesterday was Wednesday and was surprised when FBI came on instead of Survivor.

This isn't a good edit.  He's still one of the season's villains.  Haven't seen one person who likes him across the Web.

[Quilt Fairy]

A villain or an idiot?

[Maggie Mae]

Im rather liking Andy now. His reaction to Sol felt genuine and the trio of Andy Sol and Genevieve could be good!!

[Lamb18]

Well I'm feeling a little more sympathetic to Andy. I like how he's taking action with Sol, then Genevieve, instead of sitting around moping. Better to plan than to mope.

[LadyChatts]

Rachel brings up having a woman's alliance.  Teeny's onboard.

This will last about 3 seconds.  Even Teeny knows the history of how fast women's alliances fizzle out, besides the Black Widow Brigade.

[truthaboutluv]

Tiyana, Gabe feels the same about you and he's been obsessed with getting you out for awhile too. So yes, probably best to try and target him as soon as possible.

Well, that’s everyone else’s opinion and was mine too but when I hear him planning ahead to get the ones who want to take him down, I consider it a good move and my opinion doesn’t have to be everyone else’s. 

[LadyChatts]

Tiyanna vs Gabe I feel like is The Neverending Story.  Granted, I know Tuku only went to TC once before the merge, but it just seems like something that's always there and never gets resolved.

[Pepper the Cat]

I’d last about 30 seconds in this game

No. Don’t like this.

[LadyChatts]

Well, so much for not dividing everyone up into teams and only having half the tribe eligible to be voted for.  But he said the tribe that wins can't vote and will just observe?  Did I hear that right?

Literally all of Tuku wound up together (plus Rachel).  

The other tribe is half Gata/half Lavo.  That group losing might be more interesting.

Yes

[gorgy]

Rachel's going home

[Straycat80]

I kind of like this new twist with these challenges.

Surprised that she didn't mention the Salani women from One World.  They lasted, too.

[LadyChatts]

The blue team seems like they might have an advantage with Gabe and Kyle up there.  And Caroline might surprise.

Genevieve looks pretty solid.

[gorgy]

I was holding a paint roller all day, so I've deluded myself into thinking I'd do well in this challenge

[LadyChatts]

Okay, guess I spoke too soon about the blue team lol

[truthaboutluv]

Wait, this guarantees Kyle gets immunity for himself though, right?

[willco]

I couldn't hold my arms over my head for 15 minutes without dropping, let alone holding that pole ! :)

[LadyChatts]

So Kyle gets individual immunity, but the rest of former Tuku + Rachel is up for consideration.

[Michichick]

I’m very glad Sol is safe.

[Pepper the Cat]

No food? That’s cruel.

[truthaboutluv]

So this will be the Tiyana vs. Gabe showdown. 

[KaveDweller]

I like Rachel, I hope she isn't the one voted out just because of an unlucky draw.

[LadyChatts]

I'm glad this group is being separated from the winners.  They can't vote and are all immune so I'm glad they won't be able to try and influence the other team.

I like Gabe, Sue and Caroline.  I hope they all make it through.  I'm indifferent to Rachel and don't care if it's Tiyanna.

[Rodney]

Caroline's confessional gives me hope that they won't just go the easy route with her.

[truthaboutluv]

Well good for Kyle winning his second straight immunity necklace but I wonder if we're setting up to a scenario that as soon as he doesn't have the necklace, he'll be targeted as an easy vote. 

[Quilt Fairy]

So it's 7:30ish and all the challenges are done?  What happens for the next hour?

[gorgy]

the smart move right now is to keep your OG team intact

[LadyChatts]

Finally coming to a head.  Caroline is with Gabe/Sue so the question is will she flip on them or stay strong with her alliance and try to get out Tiyanna or Rachel.

Just now, Quilt Fairy said:

We get to see the winning team eat their food with their unsanitary hands and the losing team struggle over at Lavo and go through 20 different scenarios, where 19 of them are red herrings.  And of course TC.  Maybe something big goes down and they need extra time. 

I still laugh that the one reward they each got one hot dog to eat without condiments.  I guess I see where their food budget went.

[gorgy]

is potato salad just mashed potatoes

They’re going to sit around plotting. You will not see them fishing or hunting for food because this is new era Survivor. 

[LadyChatts]

Look behind you Sol!

Also, I don't think Rachel is going anywhere.  It's way too obvious and I think Tuku will eat one of their own tonight.

[truthaboutluv]

It kills me how so many of these players who admittedly are life long fans of this show and yet still go to rewards and don't look around for a potential advantage or idol.

Seriously ? You've never had potato salad ? :)

[LadyChatts]

I know the odds are not good there Gabe, but there is a chance Rachel's SITD could work.

[Pepper the Cat]

I’ve never seen the huge love for potato salad.

I know.  Jeff's heart must have been breaking that they have such a don't-give-a-crap attitude this season about some of the elements that he holds near and dear.
