S48.E01: "The Get to Know You Game" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[LadyChatts]

I'm going to be nervous for Sai now.

Oh and here's our audience participation for S50!

[MerBearHou]

The vote has got to be Stephanie or the guy with long hair who hasn’t said a word and I have no idea of his name.

[Straycat80]

Vula loses. I think Stephanie? 

[truthaboutluv]

Is it my imagination or is that team non-flag they're carrying new? Or did I just not notice during the last season.

I feel like that's exactly why it won't be him. If he was the first out, they'd have given him some focus. Plus he's in Sai's alliance that is likely to dictate the vote. Assuming they don't realize that it'd be smart to get rid of her.

The way Jeff said it just now, I wonder if those fan-voted-on changes will be just for S50. 

[LadyChatts]

So I think Sai, Stephanie, maybe Mary?

 

[Straycat80]

Anybody else vote yet? I did.

My guess is if they go back to a live reunion/vote reveal in LA it will be just for S50.  And the tribe colors since they change those out every season.  Not sure about the rice or fire-making element.

[Rodney]

The fact that they're targeting Stephanie already makes me wonder if that's too easy?

[LadyChatts]

I did!  Wanted to do it before I forgot.

[Lantern7]

Stephanie’s hat can be used as an idol. She’ll be okay.

[Carey]

Might as well play the idol Sai

[Straycat80]

No, not Sai! Now I don’t like Mary. Oh and we finally hear from Pizza guy. 

[dizzyd]

I can’t believe they’re blaming Sai for idol hunting when those symbols were all around camp saying find me. 

[LadyChatts]

I don't care for Stephanie but I do feel bad for her.  Of the two I'd rather see Sai stick around.

 

[gorgy]

googling Pizza Guy and he has an interesting background. I'm rooting for him to win the whole show just because

Pizza Guy — Justin!  Seems like a chill fellow.  He wasn’t ready for Cedrek and Sai’s questions.  

[truthaboutluv]

Ooh, silent Justin apparently is not so silent. Interesting he didn't tell Sai that Stephanie and Mary are throwing her name. 

[LadyChatts]

I get so annoyed when people get mad at someone for idol hunting, when if they were doing it it'd be fine.  But seriously, you know idols are out there.  Go look!  Don't let anyone go off alone.  There's options.

So this seems like it's between Sai and Stephanie.  Wasn't a ton of post-challenge scrambling like we sometimes see so maybe this will be an interesting TC.

You’re so right.  I’ve come back around to say no way is it low-key Justin whose name I now know.  

[dizzyd]

Kevin wants to flush the idol so it goes back in play which is smart.

[LadyChatts]

Here we go!

[Lantern7]

The chanting is nicely intense.

[dizzyd]

I’d probably throw challenges just to go to the awesome TC. 

[MerBearHou]

I may not like her hat, but I like / want Stephanie’s glasses.  

[Carey]

I'd probably keep winning since a post-merge life still has me going to that awesome TC site

[Lantern7]

Stephanie is into astrology. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Straycat80]

Everyone is getting those glasses now, they are very popular. 

[gorgy]

I've been waiting nearly two hours to say "Sayonara to Saiounia"

[LadyChatts]

I love talking astrology but would probably know to read the room before I whipped that out of my pocket on Survivor.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh Sai honey - you're talking yourself right out of this game. 

[Straycat80]

Oh no I think Sai is in trouble judging by the looks on her tribe mates faces. Hope she plays her idol. 

[MerBearHou]

Wowww, Sai.  Wonder if she picked up on the clues and plays her idol?

Edited Thursday at 02:54 AM by MerBearHou

[Rodney]

Listen to Stephanie, Sai.  Everybody is playing in their own way.  They don't have to play your way.  Some can't play your way.  You're not getting that.

[Carey]

Dear Stephanie,

Shut Up about that Astrology talk.

Love, Sai

[Michichick]

Sai has such an expressive face. I feel like she can’t hide her thoughts there.

[CraftyHazel]

I would loathe Sai, so it won’t hurt my feelings if she’s the first one out.

[LadyChatts]

I was already worried for Sai and now I'm not sure if she's talked herself out of the game.

Hmm, wonder if Justin is going to flip on Sai.  This might be interesting.

Edited Thursday at 02:55 AM by LadyChatts

[truthaboutluv]

Interesting - Sai might play her idol because she thinks Stephanie played her shot in the dark. 

[Rodney]

So Stephanie played her Shot in the Dark!

Stephanie is . . . not safe.

[Lantern7]

Why crank up the dramatic music? If SITD works, there would be more time remaining.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, the music here at TC is making this pretty dramatic.

[Carey]

Stephanie is gone.  Sai survives.  Meh

[Rodney]

Stephanie is the first to go.  Really surprised that Sai didn't talk her way out of the game.

[Straycat80]

Oh good, I didn’t want to hear anymore talk about the stars. 

[LadyChatts]

Gotta say Sai looked pretty worried.  I wonder if she thought a blindside was coming.

But looks like Mary's the only one who got blindsided.

[gorgy]

eh, alright. on to the next one

[truthaboutluv]

Interesting that Kevin and Justin don't seem thrilled by their vote. I think this was a case of, "it's too soon for a big move," but they clearly don't trust Sai. 

[Quilt Fairy]

Ballsy of Sai to not play her idol. 

[dizzyd]

Sai is an emotional player, she needs to work on being more discrete if she wants to hold on to that idol. Steph didn’t stay long enough to ruin her manicure. I popped a few Starbursts as they talked about the stars.
