S47.E14: "The Last Stand" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Brown44]

If your trying for Survivor swimming and learning to make fire should be the thing to learn the most like Amazing Race should be reading a map and driving stick.

[dizzyd]

Sue would have won at fire, she does it all the time, evidence soot face. I think Sam is playing dumb, I’m not buying he didn’t practice, I think he’s going to beat T at fire.

It's Rachel's game to lose. I was hoping someone would make it interesting and make Rachel go to fire.

[DEL901]

Sam was pretty over confident for someone who hasn’t won individual immunity.   Final 4 has been a thing for a while.  Idiot. 

[Straycat80]

Your Fault Sam. You should have practiced making fire. No sympathy here. 

[truthaboutluv]

I don't understand players at this point NOT practicing fire. Like how are you a fan of the show and not know that the rules were changed years ago where once you're in Final 4 and don't win immunity, you may have to make fire.

So Sam, no offense but if you lose because you didn't care enough to practice making fire, you deserved to lose.

I don't get what it is with this season and people have these personal grudges for seemingly no reason.  

The way Sue is carrying on I'm hoping Sam beats Teeny in fire.  The only thing I'm looking forward to in this season ending is not having to listen to her whine and complain every week about someone.

1000% agree

[Lantern7]

Here’s what the QR code leads to.

[Brown44]

Sam you should've felt it slipping away when you didn't win immunity. 

[Haleth]

Aww, all he needed was a pep talk from dad.

Sam doesn’t do well with challenges, does he even know how to make fire? 

It doesn't look like it but I'm praying the fire gods are on Sam's side tonight.  Rachel will probably win but she's gotten to be condescending for me in this late stage.  So whatever, she deserves it but she's far from a Survivor great like some of the women that came before her.  And Sue has done nothing, Teeny's been clueless on many votes...like Rachel couldn't have this game handed to her on a shinier silver platter.

ETA: and in fairness, I don't think Sam is exactly deserving because it seemed like Sierra really was the brains of that duo (even if she did get outsmarted by Andy, so make of that what you will).

It's why I'm surprised Rachel wouldn't put Sue in fire.  I mean it doesn't matter how good one is, it can still be a gamble for many reasons that are sometimes beyond the players control.  But if you want someone out bad enough and think fire is their weak spot, why not put someone in whose strong at it?  I think Sue might understand, and if she lost that's her problem.

OT, but in some legs of TAR - Australia they actually now give them phones and the GPS coordinates of where they're supposed to go.    

They do still have to drive stick sometimes.

I don't disagree, but this cast has seemed pretty lax when it comes to the basic rules, etiquette, and premise of Survivor.  The fact any of them even bothered to try and make fire and keep it tended for 25 days is surprising.

Wow!  Almost didn't recognize Genevieve!

has the tag-along ever won?

[Wildcard]

They are foreshadowing such a Sam win with the fire.

[gorgy]

it's not that complicated, Teeny

[Straycat80]

Teeny really hates men doesn’t she? Sam was never a threat, he sucked at challenges. 

[LadyChatts]

I guess if Teeny beats Sam in fire that'll be the equivalent of winning the million for them.  Game over, they won by beating Sam and Sue won't beat Rachel so give Rachel the million.

No, but being a young athletic guy, people expected him to be.  It's such a glaring shock that he was just the opposite.

[dizzyd]

I hope this 🔥 is going to be as🍿 worthy as last weeks stack challenge. 

[Lantern7]

Big meh all around. Flipping around during commercials.

I get what she was saying but she used the analogy all wrong.

At least Teeny admitted that the rivalry w Sam was one sided.  

[LadyChatts]

Their hate for Sam seems odd.  It just seems like they are blaming Sam for every bad thing his "type" has done to them in life.  

Still love Teeny though, as bitter as they may be at times for no reason.  It seems like they acknowledge it really is them, not Sam, that has the issue and he hasn't done anything wrong.  I'll take it from someone whose young and 23 and not a 59-year old posing as 45-year old that holds grudges for people daring to play the game and because they want to be in with the cool kids.

I think Noura brought Tommy to the end in season 39, and Tommy won the season.

I thought S39 never happened.

[Chicago Redshirt]

Any Survivor historians know the two other women who won four immunities but did not win Sole Survivor, what happened with them?

It seems like you would have to fail epically to win such a large percentage of the immunity challenges but not get the ultimate W.

[mojoween]

Who were the four?  I was half listening and heard Morasca, Wigglesworth and … ?

I know Wigglesworth didn’t win because she was too good.  Morasca won because ew.

One was Kelly Wigglesworth, which was the first season of the show, when Richard Hatch won.

And it was a close vote 5-4. A lot of people believe Hatch's win came down to Sue and her epic speech.

Although many will also argue that while Kelly was a challenge beast, she didn't run the game, Richard did.

[Lantern7]

Oy! No helping!

Easy to imagine Probst rooting for Sam.

[dizzyd]

T needs to stand up and block the wind if they want to win.

[truthaboutluv]

Well this went about as badly for Sam as was expected. Dude didn't even get the fire started.

This is as bad as that one guy a few seasons ago who was such a strong player and was a disaster at fire. 

eta: Gabe trying to telepathically help Sam out. 

[LadyChatts]

This is probably the most exciting thing that's going to happen all finale.  

[Brown44]

The wind saved Sam.

He said Kim Spradlin, right?  She has a show on HGTV.

Wow, that fire making sequence was intense. 

[Straycat80]

That was a surprise and a nail biter. Eh, I don’t think Sam will win. 

[mojoween]

Caroline grabbing Andy’s leg made me laugh.

[Lantern7]

Is it too cynical to think that industrial fans were used to help Sam and hurt Teeny?

Teeny has been injured, now here’s Probst with the (figurative) insults.

Teeny got screwed

Teeny should've positioned her fire a bit to the side.  Sam was lucky to have his positioned where it was.
