S48.E03: "Committing to the Bit" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Lantern7]

Apparently, Joe has Daredevil powers.

[iMonrey]

There are still too many people I don't know. Thats what happens when the same tribe keeps losing.

[Lantern7]

Is it wrong to root for a caller to fall off the platform?

Edited March 13 by Lantern7

[LadyChatts]

Interesting strategy there Joe, just run right out without instructions.  

I feel like this challenge isn't necessarily who is physically the strongest but who has the biggest mouth.  You really need the loudest voice possible to be able to hear and understand them, especially over 2 other voices. 

[Lantern7]

“TO THE WINDOWS!!! TO THE WALLS!!!”

[LadyChatts]

Turn 9 o'clock?  What the heck are those instructions?  

This ain't looking good for Vula.  I can't tell if Cedrek is the problem or if Pizza Guy and Sai are hopeless at understanding left and right.

ETA: no, it's definitely Cedrek I think.

[truthaboutluv]

Does Sai not know directions? Because she seems very confused by the "to the left..."

Still not invested. Waiting for people to get blindfolded and start injuring themselves.

Well, they're capable of getting hurt without being blindfolded

[gorgy]

All I know that if I was the caller, there would be a lot of bleeping on CBS

[LadyChatts]

I suppose there's a chance Vula could catch up, just not sure if they have the right people in place (Cedrek calling the directions and his tribemates not knowing left from right).

[Quilt Fairy]

Wow, a puzzle.  Who would have thought? 

[MerBearHou]

Impressive Lagi with that sliding puzzle — wow.

[LadyChatts]

Is Lagi even made up of humans?  That was a damn impressive performance.  

[dizzyd]

Familiar results. I think it’s time for a swap next week.

Welp, green team loses again. Not surprised. 

[Lantern7]

. . . aaaaaaaaand Vulva Vula loses again.

[WatcherUp2]

Why would anyone wear a skirt to a challenge? Especially since New Survivor seems to allow them to bring steamer trunks filled with several seasons of outfits.

[LadyChatts]

Dang, I was really hoping Vula would pull off the upset.

Edited March 13 by LadyChatts

[iMonrey]

This is so boring. How can there be 45 minutes left???

 

Oh. ANOTHER JOURNEY.

Edited March 13 by iMonrey

[LadyChatts]

Oh, we have a journey.  That's why the early challenge.  And it has to be someone that hasn't gone on one yet.  

Justin and Kamilla were picked by Lagi to go (Bianca is going from their tribe).  Kamilla didn't look too happy.

[Thalia]

Gee, Cedric.  I wonder if Kevin knows how to tell time.   

Everytime he screamed "Nine o'clock!!!!" I imagined Sae thinking of the digital clock on her iPhone. 

[Lantern7]

Justin = “Pizza.” Good to know.

[Lady Lucy]

I'm so tired of one team being decimated. 

[truthaboutluv]

I was hoping another tribe would lose only because I always hate when one tribe keeps losing.

I feel like those types of seasons, it only gets good when we get to the merge because that's when everyone starts having to really play the game. 

[gorgy]

It's Pizza GUY!

[Lantern7]

Probst’s casting spiel would’ve been better if he was blindfolded.

Seriously.  They had just started, I looked down at my laptop, and all of a sudden Jeff is saying they won.

It doesn't help when the tribe starts off with just 6 members and then you have people potentially losing their votes as well.  Not saying that Justin losing his vote would change the outcome, but I do wonder if Mary had her vote last week if Kevin would still be here (maybe Justin only voted Kevin off because Cedrek refused to vote Sai and told Justin she was going to play her idol, so Justin didn't see the risk).

And it seems obvious Mary is going tonight.  Unless she finds the idol I don't see how she survives.  Hope I'm wrong.

Lol Mary isn't surprised they lost but says the others may be surprised at their loss-yet she doesn't know why they would be.  

Edited March 13 by LadyChatts

[Pepper the Cat]

Sai is way too invested in Mary. She needs to focus on herself.

[LadyChatts]

So Mary wants to try and psych her tribe out.  It seems like maybe it's working.  Sai is pretty paranoid.  Wait, if Mary and Justin have votes and Cedrek and Sai split their votes, how would this plan work if Mary and Justin vote together and pick either Cedrek or Sai-they would go home right?

[iMonrey]

There are only so many options when there are only FOUR PEOPLE left. No matter how hard this show tries to make it suspenseful. 

[LadyChatts]

Wonder if Cedrek is mentally kicking himself for keeping Sai and her paranoia around.  And Cedrek is getting personal again and says he has a hard time putting Justin's name down. 

I guess the solution is have Sai write his name down.

 

[gorgy]

people jumping out of boats into water on Survivor wearing both shoes and socks is the craziest thing to me

[Lantern7]

There’s no way to skip this? Doesn’t seem fair, especially for those that didn’t choose to go.

[Pepper the Cat]

Ohh. Completely chance.

I really can't believe it won't be Mary.  Unless Sai blows her game up to where even Cedrek can't justify keeping her, I feel like this is going to be much ado about nothing.  

Seriously, they need to go back and give the castaways the option if they want to risk their vote or keep it.  At least if they are dumb enough to risk it then it'll be on them if it comes back to bite them.

[truthaboutluv]

This is actually not as hard as some of those Advantage challenges typically are. 

[iMonrey]

Making people lose their votes is even dumber when the tribe going to TC has only four people. That's potentially only three people voting. Exciting!

[Carey]

That tribe is semi-gone, to where the only benefit is for a 15-person merge.  That would be the only way to survive because no one else playing the game would know who they are or if they even existed

[LadyChatts]

Bianca has lost her vote.  Kamilla gets an extra vote.  Pizza guy loses his vote.

Seriously, this takes so much strategy out of the game.  So basically Cedrek and Sai are calling the shots now.

[Straycat80]

Poor Vula can’t catch a break. 

[gorgy]

Pizza Guy better go idol hunting

[Lantern7]

Still bored. 🙄

[LadyChatts]

The two people I want to survive on Vula are the two that are now the most vulnerable to go. 

Just because your tribe is too damn honest doesn't mean you need to be Kamilla. 

[iMonrey]

An extra vote isn't worth much when you never go to tribal.

[LadyChatts]

And Bianca is totally lying.  She does 'fess up to Thomas, however.

Okay, I'm starting to like Thomas.  He seems like the smartest player out there right now.

[Pepper the Cat]

Well done Pizza guy. Good story.

[Straycat80]

How is Justin going to justify this lie? 

[MerBearHou]

Justin / Pizza Guy — this is intricate.

[jsm1125]

Does production not trust their cast to deliver on their own? Why do they think stripping away any agency from the players makes for interesting TV?
