S47.E11: "Flipping the Win Switch" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

After twenty days in the game, battle lines are drawn, and the stakes cannot be higher.  The winner of a classic Immunity Challenge will guarantee their spot in the final seven.

This is the episode's live chat thread.

[Straycat80]

Happy Thanksgiving eve all! The cats and I are ready for Survivor! 

[Pepper the Cat]

Yay! Thread open.

I’m here. Got my wine, got the cats.

[Lantern7]

No Challenge tonight, so I’ll be here for the next ninety minutes.

[dizzyd]

Well I guess from those previouslies, an idol or 2 is being played tonight 

[LadyChatts]

I think these guys are going to be sorry they didn't get rid of Kyle when they had the chance.

[Straycat80]

Sue needs to let this Kyle hate go! And go wash her face. 

[Lantern7]

Oh, right, Sue has the mad-on for Kyle. Why is that?

Nice looking bird. 🤷‍♂️

I feel like it might be Sue because she seems more vulnerable.  She was allied with Gabe, left out of the last vote, and I feel like her name has come up more frequently.  Plus Kyle knows she's out for him (in case she hasn't made that obvious in the last minute).

[truthaboutluv]

Of course, "especially Kyle.." Sue. Everyone voted Gabe, including your bestie Caroline who didn't tell you it was coming but of course, Kyle is the demon in your eyes. Sue's Kyle obsession is beyond weird at this point. 

[Pepper the Cat]

What is her deal? People will write your name down. It’s part of the game

I'll give Sue's dirty face some slack, she at least looks like she's playing Survivor.

[WatcherUp2]

Sue is an idiot who acts like she's never seen the game. Grudge-holders on Survivor deserve to be booted as dramatically as possible.

[dizzyd]

Caroline saying more today than she’s done before, hmm.

[gorgy]

Sue is really bad at fake listening. Uh huh, yeah, sure, okay Caroline nod nod nod

[LadyChatts]

Considering Sue has had it out for Kyle since the second vote, Caroline is probably guessing right she's going to be on her hit list.  Because Sue actually trusted Caroline.

[truthaboutluv]

Caroline backstory - hmm, either it means she's going this week or she'll win immunity. 

No one told Rachel of Sue's Kyle obsession, thinking Sue gives a crap about getting Genevieve out.

Thing is, I bet you Kyle probably doesn't even realize he occupies that much real estate in Sue's mind.

Like he obviously knows people want him out because he's a challenge beast but I doubt he realizes this woman has been obsessing over that damn vote that long ago. 

[dizzyd]

Kyle living rent free in sue’s head, will probably also own her nightmares post Fiji. He needs to start charging her for every time she speaks his name.

I don’t think the ghosts from Ghosts would be fans of Survivor.

I love that show! Maybe Pete can drop in on Survivor

[LadyChatts]

So an underdog alliance of 5 (Andy, Teeny, Rachel, Sue and Caroline) formed at the well.

Does Genevieve know what show she signed up for?

[dizzyd]

Not looking good for Kyle, gen and Sam, they’re in the minority.

[Straycat80]

I agree with Gen. Its got to hurt having to vote someone off who trusted you. But that’s the game. 

[LadyChatts]

I actually feel sort of sorry for this pitiful trio sitting by the fire because they have no one else to play with.

[phlebas]

Genevieve's plan of "make no friends for fun and profit" is interesting. Thinking back to the zero times that's worked on this show.

[Lantern7]

Oh, right, Andy would say “algorithmically.”

Seems to me she's one of the few left who does. She doesn't know these people outside of the game and so she's choosing to remain emotionally detached from them and just play the game. I'm not mad at that. 

[WatcherUp2]

I've started to like Sam. He was really pushy and obnoxious at the beginning, but he got invisible after the merge and now he's admitting how he's having to shift. So if I like him, he's a goner. Trust me. 

But please let Andy go first, because he's a total ass.

Da boat! Da boat!

 

editted to add, aging myself here.

[LadyChatts]

I think it's scary that Andy's the one making sense about the game right now.  Not sure if he's really in the position he thinks he is, but he at least gets it.

[Lantern7]

No Reward Challenge, I guess.

[Pepper the Cat]

Huh? So what did they do? Have someone remove the extra rocks?

[LadyChatts]

Is Sam really a threat or just in the minority and that's why he's being targeted?

And Rachel gets to go on the journey.  She's afraid it'll put a target on her back but didn't want Sam or Genevieve going and potentially getting an advantage.

I see that, but I feel like the emotions are starting to get to her.  Plus, I still question how detached she could have been from relationships when her sole reason (that we saw) for targeting Sol was because he went after her ally Rome.  I do think that's a move she maybe regrets, though.

Ha!  After how arrogant Sam's been, I don't feel bad for him at all.

Kyle and Genevieve have my sympathy, though.

[Lantern7]

Observation: I’m not sure if the vampires from What We Do In The Shadows would be fans. I know Colin Robinson would make them watch it, then spend the following week explaining his theories. He’d also spoil details on non-spoiler threads online.

Andy would take credit for someone else taking a shit. 

[Lantern7]

Okay, I’m liking this game’s concept.

[dizzyd]

I’m rooting for Rachel to get this done, I like puzzles. Yay!

I don't know if I feel sorry for Genevieve so much.  She seemed to put herself in this position.  Kyle though hasn't done anything wrong except be a comp beast and dare to write Sue's name down because that's what he was told the plan was.  But they just seemed sad sitting there when the majority alliance (for now) was making plans at the water well, and those 3 are talking strategy like they have a chance.  But it's still early, a lot can change by the end of the episode.

[Straycat80]

Spoiler

 

Rachael’s going for it! 

[Pepper the Cat]

Whew. The was intense 

[LadyChatts]

I like this challenge.  I'm rooting for Rachel to get it done and get another advantage.

[willco]

Wow, that didn't seem like much time at all !

[Straycat80]

She did it. Vote blocker.

[Lantern7]

Solved in the nick of time! You think the game would be retrieved and dried for the auction?

[Rodney]

Go, Rachel!  Get that advantage!

[LadyChatts]

Nice advantage that could be a game changer, but I feel like it might be obvious it was done by Rachel since everyone knows she went on this journey.  I guess it will depend when she uses it.

She seemed to get it just in time!

[Quilt Fairy]

I didn't realize until she started working the puzzle that the balls couldn't be taken out of the maze.  It ended up being more like a slide puzzle. 

[LadyChatts]

Sam isn't buying Rachel's story that she didn't get anything.

But she is telling Sue and Caroline the truth.
