S48.E02 "Humble Traits" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

A frantic idol hunt could save or ruin one castaway’s game.  A castaway’s quick decision-making must outlast the test of time when three castaways are sent on a journey.  Then, castaways take a leap of faith in their second Immunity Challenge, where they must trust their tribemates to beat out their competition.

This is the episode's live chat thread.

[Pepper the Cat]

Here we go! Got my wine. One cat is sleeping, one is destroying a cardboard box, keeping us all safe from the evil boxes of the world

[Rodney]

If I'm Mary, I wouldn't trust Kevin again.

Sai needs to get over her name being written down.

[Straycat80]

Mary is not safe if this team gives to TC again. So sayeth Sai. 

[Rodney]

Sai being sure that Mary's in trouble and that she has the men with her might be a harbinger of doom for her.

[LadyChatts]

Mary's priority was trust.  She definitely didn't get that last week.

And now Sai is bitter because Mary wrote her name down (despite her saying no hard feelings). And yep, she's getting the power trip edit right here.  She had the triple whammy "I'm in control, my idol keeps me safe, Mary is going home next".  I think recruits were smarter at Survivor than some of these so-called super fan.

I makes me crazy when someone continuously whines about their name being written down. That's the game. 

[gorgy]

nobody would believe you don't hold a grudge, Sai

[Grizzly]

Mary could have thrown the guys under the bus but was smart not to.

[Carey]

While it only takes one, complaining about your name being written down changes nothing.  Sure you could've been done, but that TC is over.  You're still in the game.  If that's the focus for Sai, then people will just be getting started with that

[Rodney]

Civa is getting along well.

Ew.  David has four nipples?  Wow!  He does!

What I don't get is don't these people know someone's name is going to be thrown out as the decoy?  Why are they so bitter if it's them?  Sai needs to ask herself why Mary would be confident in writing her name down if she didn't think she had the votes.

[Rodney]

Holy fuck.  What's with Charity's foot?!  Is it discolored or something?

[Straycat80]

This conversation about body imperfections is weird. TMI. 

[gorgy]

we need to go back to hour long episodes

[Rodney]

Chrissy has a deeper-than-deep bellybutton?  Not overly bad.

And Kyle has a wart, not a callus.  And he's had it for ten years?!  Ew!

[SG429]

This is why eps need to be 90 minutes SMH

[LadyChatts]

Green tribe has post-TC drama.  Orange tribe is talking about their weird body parts.  I guess this is what I get for wanting longer episodes, but is this the best they've got?

[Rodney]

Just now, gorgy said:

we need to go back to hour long episodes

Nah.  I'd rather have them to get to know the tribes and castaways better.

[LadyChatts]

Seriously can we go back to Sai whining about her name being written down and saying she's in control?  That was way more exciting than...oh wait, maybe we'll get some drama at purple tribe.  And then they wonder why Star is off idol hunting?

[Rodney]

Lagi is a happy tribe.  And no one wants to sit out next time.

But Eva can't stop talking.  Star hates being told to sit out.  That angered her.

Now Star is looking for an idol while also looking for firewood.

She's not talking strategy?!  Really?!  No one wants to work with her?!  That's probably because you were looking for idols when you shouldn't have been!

. . . Oh!  She found something!

Star has a Beware Advantage.  She got the same puzzle as Sai.

But this time, she has to use a guide to find the letters matched with the animal signs.

[Straycat80]

Star finds the puzzling advantage. Good, get help.

I agree with gorgy.  We need to go back to hour-long episodes.  However, you may not want TPTB to agree with you, because they'd grant the wish, saying we're getting one-hour episodes in the 8:00 hour, the 9:00 hour, and the 10:00 hour.  EVERY WEEK.  Going forward.

[LadyChatts]

I gotta give these guys credit, if I saw those symbols I'm not sure I'd think twice about them or know what they were supposed to be (and that's even if I noticed them in the first place).

Hmm, Star is telling Joe about her beware advantage.  Not sure if this will go well.  

[Rodney]

Despite knowing that she can't tell people about it, Star tells Joe about it.

Joe pulls in Shauhin, and they're going to act like they're with her.  Now Shauhin has the power.

Yeah, Star should've just done this on her own.

[Brown44]

This is why you tell know one that you've found or have an idol.

I'll be fine if she pays the price for it, but only by playing it for nothing or playing it on someone else when she's the target.  It's still no excuse, but it beats going home doing nothing.

NEW ERA? Survivor!

[LadyChatts]

I think Star and Joe are the only ones I'm rooting for on that tribe.  

[Rodney]

So now Thomas and Eva have been brought in by Star.  It's only Eva who doesn't know.

[gorgy]

I think I'd do well on The Amazing Race, but I absolutely can't get into it. It's really the opposite of Survivor where I'd 10000% get booted first

[Straycat80]

Oh no Star what are you doing? Now she’s telling everyone she has an advantage. Don’t any of these players ever watch the old Survivor episodes? 

[KaveDweller]

Hiding her clue so she can't get her vote back is really low.

[Rodney]

I don't think that Shauhin and Thomas know that this is Star's, so if they vote her out, it's technically dead.

At least Shauhin doesn't want to do it.

[LadyChatts]

Okay, I was hoping Star wasn't delusional, but I guess I'm wrong.

Hey Star, why not just scream it from the tree tops that you found the Beware Advantage?  I don't think Green tribe heard you.

And Star wants Eva out. 

I don't think they can tamper with her advantage stuff can they?  Seriously all these people on this tribe suck.  Let them go on a losing streak.

[gorgy]

the sociopaths on Australian Survivor would burn the map right in front of Star

[Rodney]

And now Eva knows about Star's advantage.

[LadyChatts]

Again, does Joe know what show he's on?  

[Rodney]

Vula is plagued by flies.

Justin swears that the same fly has been following him!  Ha!

[Straycat80]

Unfortunately Joe, this is Survivor, you eventually have to stab someone in the back.

Are they really complaining about bugs… again, have they never watched Survivor before?

My girl!  I had an umbilical hernia as an infant, and mine is also deeeeeep.

[LadyChatts]

These guys do realize they have options besides Star to get out, right?  I mean it seems like they are making a huge deal over this and trying to sabotage her.  Just go for the next person lowest on the totem pole.  

And the guys on green are plotting between Mary or Sai at the next TC.  

[gorgy]

still rooting for Pizza Boy to win

[Rodney]

Sai is now a target.  But Kevin's right to want to blindside her and get the idol back into play.

And now Lagi has Probsty 5G as their Wi-Fi.  They have to pass the time somehow.

I'm starting to wonder if those super excited reactions we go last week to them being told they were going on Survivor were either stages, or reactions from them thinking they were getting on another show and they got tossed to Survivor instead.  Fiji isn't even the worst location!  I mean I hate flies but I deal with them all summer (my cats enjoy chasing them around at least).

[Rodney]

And now boats are coming to the camps.

Journey time!

[Pepper the Cat]

Oh I like the finger thing

[LadyChatts]

I can't even remember his name but so far he's one of the few I'm rooting for.

Journey time!  Wow, they don't even let them decide whose going.  I guess I kind of like this twist.

[Rodney]

Thomas is going on the journey fore Lagi, Mitch for Civa, and Mary for Vula.

Sai isn't pleased to see Mary going.

[Wildcard]

Just now, Pepper the Cat said:

Me too.

[Pepper the Cat]

Of course Sai is mad that someone who is not her is going.
