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

[MerBearHou]

Teeny will say “yep, the guy who got to push the desks for the teachers wins again instead of me”.  Please….

[truthaboutluv]

Damn, Teeny's fire took a million years to burn. Reminds me of that woman some years ago where she was so close and it took forever for hers to burn too. 

Rachel not happy because I hate to say it, that fire challenge may have been the thing Sam needed to sway one or two jurors his way.

[Brown44]

T had it but the wind kept the flame from the rope.

[Pepper the Cat]

Who ever adds the music to the challenges deserves an award.

[LadyChatts]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but where Teeny is sitting, isn't that the bad seat?  I feel like there's a spot where the wind can catch the fire more than the other and some past Survivors said they purposely tried not sitting there.

That was a rough loss for Teeny.  I was glad it wasn't a blowout but damn, they really did nothing wrong and it was just bad luck.

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. 

Chrissy in season 35 was the other 4 immunity woman who didn’t win. I think the jury just didn’t connect with her as much as they did with Ben. 

[Michichick]

And Sam was in the traditional fire loser spot

[Straycat80]

Welp, we know who Teeny won’t vote for. 

[willco]

That was a shocking loss, Teeny had a huge fire going and it just wouldn't burn the rope ! Amazing. ( But no, you wouldn't have won the season, Teeny :))

[mojoween]

Ohhhhh Chrissy.  Yeah to the viewers it was clear why she didn’t win, no idea if the castaways saw her the same way.

Ohhhh, I thought Sam’s spot was the bad one.

I don't know where they went to school, but where I went the jocks weren't pushing desks for the teachers.  Now pushing desks around to aggravate the teachers, yes. 

Guessing Teeny won't be a Sam vote so there's one for Rachel.

Just now, Michichick said:

You actually might be right.  I just know there's a spot that typically is worse for making fire and I couldn't remember which one (I might have to go back and check because now I'm curious lol)  Just see what seat the winners of the challenge are typically in.

[Brown44]

T should've prayed to the wind Gods.

[Haleth]

Sam actually has a shot if the Op Italy people vote for him. Plus Kyle who definitely will.  I’d like to think Genevieve would respect a formidable opponent tho.

[LadyChatts]

So the jury-I feel like if Sue gets any votes it'll probably be Caroline, unless Teeny finds out no one is voting for Sam so they vote for Sue to ensure Sam and Sue don't tie for second place (much like the Gabon and San Juan Del Sur juries did).  Teeny no doubt is a Rachel vote.  I can see Genevieve and Caroline voting for Rachel, if Caroline doesn't vote for Sue.  

[susannot]

I was pulling for Sam because a Teeny Sue Rachel F3 would have been too boring.  Sam has a shot, if the jury reactions from Sierra, Andy, and Kyle are any indication.

 

Teeny's hatred for Sam as a high school jock is misplaced.  He was a theater kid.

[dizzyd]

Sierra may vote for Sam and Caro for Sue but they’ve done too little in the game to beat Rachel.

[Haleth]

Talking about 4 time challenge winners who ultimately lost the game seems like foreshadowing. 

[MerBearHou]

This season of Survivor has enlightened to me that the players I like the least are the ones who are irrationally bitter.  And repetitively so.  Their bitter attitudes (Sue, Teeny obvi) make me almost completely tune them out.

Edited December 19 by MerBearHou

[LadyChatts]

Rachel's probably going to preach her idol move, block a vote, and immunity wins.  Sam has Operation Italy if Andy and Genevieve don't try and downplay his contribution, and he can say he's been on the chopping block the past few votes and managed to squeak by.  Sue I guess will stress loyalty?

[gorgy]

Sue you don't look a day over 45

[Straycat80]

At this rate the speeches and jury questions won’t be too long. Thank God. 

[dizzyd]

I’m also not buying that is Sam’s 1st 🍉 How has he gone all life without eating

🍉  🍍 or 🥝

[LadyChatts]

Just looked at the time, there isn't going to be much time for the reunion (or whatever we are calling it).  Seems like that window is getting smaller and smaller.

[willco]

What is up with Sam never having eaten any fruit before ?? Watermelon ? I've never heard of anyone never even trying watermelon once in their life ??

[mojoween]

BRING BACK MARCH OF THE DEAD SURVIVORS

[willco]

I really hope Sam doesn't take the win ! Rachael is more deserving, imo.

[AntFTW]

Comeback of a lifetime. I can't even say Teeny did anything wrong in that fire making challenge. It just wasn't her day.

I always felt, once Kyle got voted off, that Rachel deserved the win next.

I don’t think you have anything to worry about.  He may get 2 or 3 votes but Rachel will win.  I bet Sue gets zero.

I don't think that it would be that odd to not have kiwi. Pineapple and watermelon would be a little stranger. But he's from the Chicago burbs and maybe his people didn't care for either of the first two. Or maybe he's just a picky eater and didn't try a lot of stuff.

[truthaboutluv]

I like how Sam and Rachel are basically treating Sue like a non-entity. And I hate to say it, they're probably right. 

[Lantern7]

Ah, right to the BS.

Oh, it’s just a tease.

Edited December 19 by Lantern7

[LadyChatts]

Sorry Sue, but no one's underestimating you this time.  Listening to her try and pitch to the jury might be the second most entertaining thing in this episode.

I think that unless Rachel spends the FTC giving the jury the equivalent of the finger, she should win. But as has been pointed out, I did not predict the Gabler win either. So what do I know?

[gorgy]

Sol looking crazy as ever

I’m from Chicago burbs myself. Watermelon in the summer time is a huge mealtime staple. Maybe not pineapple though.

I guess kudos to Rachel for being confident, she did this last week with Genevieve and is now doing it with Sam.  She probably would have beaten Genevieve in the final 3, too, but it really is between her and Sam.  If Sue actually believes she has a chance that's like believing anyone bought she was 45.  

[susannot]

I think Sam will get the votes of Sierra, Kyle, and Andy.  Rachel will get Teeny for sure.  Not sure about Caroline, Genevieve, or Sol.

 

 

 

 

[Brown44]

I can't wait till Sue tells them her real age and everyone be shocked she's not 45.

Watermelon doesn't agree with me. I'll constantly burp that taste up for days.  It's very annoying.  Cucumbers are the worst.

[Grizzly]

Sol, what is that around your neck? Way to ruin your look.

I swear, every time it makes me think of that SNL Molly Shannon character in the red pantsuit who kicked up her legs and said “I’m FIFTY!”

I think Rachel is going to get Genevieve.  Maybe she'll vote for Sam but right now I see her as a Rachel vote.  Sol I have no idea.  I think he could go either way.  My feeling is Caroline goes Sue or Rachel.

[Straycat80]

I don’t know if the jury is that impressed by Sue’s age confession. 

[gorgy]

[LadyChatts]

These questions are boring so far.  

You could tell Sue couldn't wait to do her big reveal, but not sure it got the reaction she was expecting (it's possible people thought she was older than 59).

[Brown44]

Only this group would have a shocked face on Sue being 59...she totally didn't look in her 40's, especially the skinner she got with plastic surgery face showing and big fake boobs on her frail body.

[MerBearHou]

Sue’s answer about loyalty and lying / deceiving and she knows how the game is played — not truthful.  She held big grudges.  She was a non-entity factor in the game and the votes.
