S48.E08 "A Rift Between All of Us" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[PaperTree]

Damn!

[Rodney]

Probst acknowledges that he can be annoying.

[WatcherUp2]

Rats.

[dizzyd]

I have mixed feelings about Mary dropping.

[Rodney]

Mary's slipping more.

And . . . Mary's out.  Eva wins.

[Quilt Fairy]

This is a link to the Survivor 50 vote:

[Carey]

Despite everything, I'll admit that I'd love to see a villainous Eva.  It would catch everyone off-guard, and personally, as it relates to Survivor, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  Coming from someone that separates real life from TV life

[Brown44]

I'm actually shocked Joe wasn't cheerleading for Eva during the challenge. 

[iMonrey]

Hm. Eva didn't scream and cry this time.

[Brown44]

Has Star said anything yet?

Mary told Probst to keep prattling.

i don’t think I like her anymore.

No, Eva told him to keep talking. Mary wanted him to shut up.

[Lantern7]

Eva wins, Probst says the word “spectrum.”

Probably a coincidence.

No, really. No sarcasm this time.

[iMonrey]

Tacos feed you spiritually? Huh. Who knew Taco Bell was a place of worship.

[Rodney]

Just now, Brown44 said:

She pointed out that this challenge was easier when people were allowed to stand on it.

Unless she has a huge burst of airtime and is caught strategizing against the strong person loyalty alliance, I guess that's a good sign for her going into tonight's vote.  Star seems lovely, and I loved the week when they merged and we got more airtime from her.  I can't believe she's that boring.

Give me Sai any day for entertaining tv.

I barely know Chrissy but she's the only one thinking straight. 

[LadyChatts]

I love tacos, but I'm not sure I'd want to eat them in this environment.  

More strategy talk about getting rid of Joe and Eva.  Kyle wants Shauhin.  I'd be fine losing him, too.  But Joe is a smarter choice.

[Straycat80]

They would be smart to vote Joe out. He and Eva are the power couple right now. 

[Rodney]

Kyle, go for Joe.  If he's in a tight duo with Eva, then he needs to be targeted to break them up!  Forget how honest he's been with you!

Edited April 17 by Rodney

[LadyChatts]

One thing that worries me about Kyle and Kamilla is sometimes I feel like they overthink things.  And I really wish Kyle would be smarter in wanting to target Joe (even though Chrissy has a point that Eva may give him her idol, but I think he'd have to be super nervous for that to happen).

[Lantern7]

This is a horrible game. Also, none of the balls are blue. If you’re going to screw with the players, why not have fun with it?

[Rodney]

This seems easy yet complicated.  Let's see how the game goes.

[LadyChatts]

And these guys don't even get the anonymity of playing this and at least pretending they still have a vote.  

[Brown44]

Red ball forced to get Star air time.

[Rodney]

Star got the first red ball.

Mitch got the second red ball.

Nice to see that Kamilla is keeping her options open and working with the other Civas, as well.

Oof.  Star has two red balls now.

[LadyChatts]

I'm digging this alliance between Mitch and Star at the challenge.

[Lantern7]

At least throw in a small reward beyond keeping the vote.

[iMonrey]

This is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

[Rodney]

Shauhin has a red one now.  So does Kamilla.

Of course Kamilla leaves Star to get the third and final red ball.

Star loses her vote.

[Pepper the Cat]

Star looses her vote

I am over Eva

I was only half paying attention so I didn't get the rules of why they could take two balls at a time.  But who cares, it was stupid.  And that was it?  Well, it killed about 5 minutes of airtime.

I'm glad it's not just me. 

[Lantern7]

. . . and we’re seeing an ad for Sister Wives why, exactly?

I thought polygamy went out when Big Love ended.

We'll see if CBS thought it was the dumbest thing they've seen in 50 years.

[iMonrey]

What a pointless waste of time. They could have edited this entire sequence out. Who cares if Star loses her vote? She's barely even on the show.

[gorgy]

watching Eva win the immunity challenge while simultaneously reading the latest blather from RFK about how autistic people will never be able to play sports is funny in a very sad way

[Carey]

Just wait until 2345 when they expand scenes of people losing their votes AND their conversations of such as they're walking to Tribal Council

Her vote isn't even going to matter.  Guess it wasn't as high stakes as it appeared to be.  Would be funny though if no one believes she's the only one who lost hers or that someone came back with an advantage (you know Sai would believe that).

And of course Eva gets a clue to an advantage.  

[Lantern7]

Whuh oh. Eva got a clue.

I’m hoping Production starts planting twigs in meals next season.

[Straycat80]

Now Eva has found an advantage. I feel like her and Joe won’t get voted off anytime soon. 

[Carey]

I guess that after I die, I'm still going to learn of the news I've succeeding in tuning out on Planet Earth in the aftermath of my passing

[iMonrey]

Wipe your damm mouth, Eva. You're on TV.

[LadyChatts]

And now we get to hear the taco table talk strategy.  

David apparently thinks Kamilla and Shauhin are working together.

Oh no, he's throwing her name out.  

[DEL901]

Already dislike David, but now he is going after Kamilla!  Grr.

[Lantern7]

Just now, iMonrey said:

That would not stop me for being sloppy.

[LadyChatts]

So they think Shauhin is working with Kamilla, but why does Kamilla have to be sacrificed?  I know Shauhin is supposed to be part of this alliance but wouldn't they consider this a betrayal if Shauhin is working with her?

I mean, that MERGE meal was the definition of sloppy.

To be the opposite of fair, Survivor Post XL is the definitely of sloppy from bottom to top

[LadyChatts]

What is it with this show and body noises?

Oh good, Joe is telling Kyle that the vote has switched to Kamilla.  But I don't want it coming at the expense of Mary, either.  Why does David not get blamed for this either?  He pulled Mary into this and I don't think his alliance likes it.

[dizzyd]

Tough one for me when Mary who I like is going after Kamila who I also like.
