S47.E12: "Operation: Italy" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

Castaways get the biggest reward of the season with surprise letters from home.  Then, balance and dexterity are tested at a crucial Immunity Challenge to guarantee a spot in the final six.

This is the episode's live chat thread.

[Straycat80]

Oh no, not the letters from home. Ugh, it’ll be a big cry fest, I’ll be changing the channel for awhile during those. 

[Pepper the Cat]

They always act like they haven’t seen their families for years, not a few weeks.

[LadyChatts]

I guess the only positive to Kyle leaving last week is hopefully Sue finally shuts up about it.

[mojoween]

Christ Sue.  Let it fucking GO.

[MerBearHou]

But no, she continues to go on and on.  Good God, Sue.  Drone on about Kyle much??

[PaperTree]

I want to slap that smirk off Sue's face

[gorgy]

I've had to work with Sue types before and its tiresome

[Straycat80]

I was rooting for Sue at first but not anymore. Shut up about Kyle already he’s gone!  And why is her face so filthy.

And it's even shorter now!  Before it was usually 30ish days, and even that seemed extreme to bring out the waterworks.  Now it's what, barely 3 weeks?

As much as I don't like Sam and Genevieve, I almost hope they survive tonight (except at the expense of Rachel or Teeny).  This season has been great for blindsides and I don't want to see a steamroll of people who don't have the numbers and make predictable boots.

I'm now watching every week to see Sol's wacky jury outfit

[Michichick]

Wow, the dirt on Sue’s face is back in full force 

[LadyChatts]

Guess I was wrong about Sue shutting up about Kyle.  

Is that why Sue's face is so dirty?  

[gorgy]

wash your fucking face, christ almighty

I think that grime is the real Sue.

[Brown44]

Sue is the prototype that plastic surgery is not always a good thing. Even looking messed up like she is she would still look better in her og born look.

[LadyChatts]

TBH, I don't really see why Genevieve is such a big threat.  Her biggest move so far has been orchestrating the Sol vote, but that really blew up in her face.  And her reasoning was stupid (revenge for Rome?  Really?)   Beyond that, I don't really see what she's done.

Genevieve doesn't seem to get the idea that this is very much a social game.  Forget what I said about not wanting her to leave tonight, she can go and take her bitterness with her.  She ruined her own game.

Genevieve you dumbass.  You lie in those situations and then do whatever you wanted to anyways.  Dope.

[gorgy]

Big Brother on the Beach with this underdog majority mentality

[Straycat80]

Why is Teeny so paranoid about Gen and Sam? She’s in an alliance of five and Sam and Gen have never won immunity. 

[Grizzly]

Ugh Rachel is overconfident. Hope that's not the kiss of death.

[PaperTree]

I don't like how this is shaping up.

What? No puzzle?

[MerBearHou]

When is the Finale?  I have lost track.

[LadyChatts]

I feel like seeing the castaways play rock paper scissors for reward would be more exciting than this.

 

[AnnaBaptist]

Margaritas are Italian?

Did Olive Garden take over from Applebees?

For whatever reason, they are breaking it up over the course of 2 weeks (so a 4 hour finale total).  It starts next week and the winner is revealed the following week.

[Michichick]

Did Jeff say tiaramisu instead of tiramisu?

The week before Christmas? 

[WatcherUp2]

It drives me bonkers when they're down to the final 8 or fewer, and players yammer on about so and so being loyal to them. I can hear Sandra laughing her ass off (her rule of anyone but me). Ya dummies, those other players want to win as much as you do!

I think he was describing the various pizzas: cheese, pepperoni, margherita

I'd have no shame in pulling a Liz if I didn't get to have their alfredo sauce.  I don't even have some emotional backstory of going to Olive Garden with some random relative on Wednesdays and watching Survivor together.  I just like the alfredo sauce that much.

It almost sounded like tierra misu

Some of the European versions of Survivor last more than 70 days.  Those folks can complain about missing their families.     These guys…not so much.   

[Pepper the Cat]

Congrats Sam.

Now, who does he get to take?

cue the waterworks

[Brown44]

Am I the only one that wouldn't wanna win that type of task? I'd rather be invited than have to choose who to come.

Edited December 5 by Brown44

[Straycat80]

Here comes the flood of tears. And Sam picks the biggest crybaby Andy.

[gorgy]

I couldn't care less about the letters and 100% care about the pizza

[LadyChatts]

I felt like that was news to Andy that Sam promised to take him on a reward if he won.

Ah, thanks!

[Thalia]

Why isn't anyone screaming that they always eat pizza with their daughter on Survivor Wednesday? 

[PaperTree]

Andy?  Dumb move picking Gen.  Enough with the stupid letters.

[DEL901]

Andy?   He is definitely someone who can flip because of this.  And Sue has a replacement target now that Kyle is gone.  

[Straycat80]

Don’t feel bad Sam, none of these women would have chosen you if they had won. What a bunch of sore losers.

I would absolutely do what I could to come in second.

Taking Genevieve was not smart, but really I just wanted Sue to not get it.

[truthaboutluv]

Whatever Sue. I might feel something if she wasn’t constantly sneering about how Kyle was always bleating about “playing for his family…” 

[Michichick]

Bunch of crybabies, why would you expect to get chosen when you’re targeting Sam all along?

[gorgy]

Teeny thinks a lot of herself

[Brown44]

I need to be away from my family more than 2/3 weeks to be so emotional to see letters from home, but I guest alot of it is stress.
