S48.E10: "My Enemies are Plottin'" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

The Reward Challenge is good enough to sing for when Jeff announces what is on the line for the winners.  A rice negotiation with Probst at the Immunity Challenge is completed in almost record time.  Then, at Tribal Council, it’s a toss-up when two players on the bottom begin to target each other.

This is the episode's live chat thread.

[Carey]

After coming across a Garfield poster & a bottle of Pinot Grigio, I'm ready!

[Rodney]

Here we go again!

[LadyChatts]

Last week was so good and hoping this week can keep up the momentum.  But I know not to expect nice things from Survivor.

[Pepper the Cat]

Here!

Got my wine.

Cat #1 is sleeping in his favourite chair.

Cat #2 is purring on my lap.

[Carey]

Pretty tough to top a glorified loser exiting the show...with said individual being livid about it

[LadyChatts]

If everyone were smart, they would try to blindside Eva next (I'd say Joe but Eva's got the idol and an advantage so she's a bigger threat to keep).  

[MerBearHou]

Here — hello, Survivor pals 😊 

[Rodney]

Mary, I don't know how it happened that David became your number one, but believe me when I say that you're better off with him gone.

[Lantern7]

As usual, I’ve forgotten at least half of what happened last week.

[Carey]

Can't believe all of a sudden it's all over in 3 weeks though!

[Rodney]

At least Eva wants to keep Mary around a few rounds longer.

Too bad that she won't play her idol on her.

[Lantern7]

“Bulky-Hulky” is a cute adjective. Thanks, Mary!

I'd still love to know how Mary just burrowed herself into the strong-five alliance (especially since David claims she just clung to him and he had no real loyalty to her).

[truthaboutluv]

Wow Eva, okay then, "yeah no, I'm not playing any idol for you but hey, you can stay here a little longer until we get to you whenever..." 

[Rodney]

I'm not sure if Mitch realizes that, given the fist-pounding he's doing with them.

[LadyChatts]

And now we are back to this stupid 5 alliance.  I seriously wish Eva or Joe could go tonight (or Shauhin I guess). 

I'd love for this underdog alliance to make waves, but I'm not counting on it.  

[Rodney]

I really hope that this is no misdirection and Star is right about this.  This is the time to rise up against the Lagi Three.

[Straycat80]

Yes Star! Finally someone is going after the major threats in this game! 

[MerBearHou]

Predictions on how long into the show we get a challenge??

[truthaboutluv]

I'm a little worried at how much of Star we're seeing this episode. That's more talking than we've seen from her in like three episodes. Sometimes that's hinting that person's about to be voted off. 

[iMonrey]

Calling it now. Star goes home tonight. Way too much of her after barely being visible all season long.

[dizzyd]

The revolution! This season is giving good tv narrative and I don’t care if it feels scripted, I’m enjoying it. Rise little people and take down the so called rulers.

I guess it's part of her honesty and integrity strategy for that alliance.  I hope Eva remembers that these people will be on the jury and deciding whether she gets the million-dollar check or not.

It's too bad those 4 underdogs couldn't band together and Kamilla could try to bring Kyle in.  

[Haleth]

Star speaks!  I wonder if that means she’s gone tonight.

I think the time to rise up was a while ago, but if they can get 1 more person on their side and stick together, they could make it happen.  Kyle and Kamilla might be safer going with these underdogs, too.  I'm still skeptical Kyle is entirely in with the strong-five.

[WatcherUp2]

My fantasy wins (because I'm terrible at picking) are Star, Mary, and Mitch. I hope it's not putting a curse on any of them. 

And now people are throwing out those three names. Damn.

It just shows that neither is particularly strategic. Despite how easily David got booted thinking he was in a strong position, she's still bleating on about how "this is how things are and the others can't do anything about it." Okay...famous last words on Survivor. 

[Rodney]

They seem sure of themselves having power.

But did they really link in Mitch and Kamilla?

[Haleth]

Uh oh. Joe feels safe. He’s going. 

[LadyChatts]

I'm praying this early strategy talk and Joe's overconfidence means a blindside is coming from the underdogs.

[iMonrey]

It's interesting they don't see Eva as the biggest threat to win. It makes me think they might not like her as much as the show does. They don't think she would win in a landslide if she's in the final three? Why?

[Brown44]

Is Star one of the most useless and unknown player is Survivor history?

[Straycat80]

Joe being so confident has me wondering if he’s out tonight.

Don't feel too bad, I usually forget by Thurs AM !😃

[Lantern7]

Yawning bat. I feel ya, buddy.

[MerBearHou]

No, thank you to the bats

[Rodney]

Mitch might want to head to a sleep clinic if he snores like that.  I have a sleep study coming up, myself.

I’m thinking the others might see Eva as co-dependent on Joe, and she seems to shut out the other women from aligning with her. 

[Brown44]

Star is just there for comic relief. Nobody takes her serious in the game.

[Rodney]

The four couldn't be more obvious by constantly being together like that.

[MarylandGirl]

Oh, Mitch seemed pretty harsh about Star.

[Rodney]

At least Kamilla knows what she has to do, as does Star.

Mitch?  You're turning into a flop right now.

[LadyChatts]

Mitch does realize the point of Survivor is to write people's names down right?  Also, Star wasn't clued in on the plan to vote off David.  I actually feel sorry for her in a lot of ways, but I can't say Mitch is batting 1000 in this game so far.  And he's willing to align with an alliance that will dump him when they don't need him?

[Lantern7]

Poking around online. I don’t follow the politicking.

[Rodney]

Kyle, what are you doing?!  This is Survivor!  Do you want to win or do you want to be friends?!

[WatcherUp2]

Aw, Kyle, you're forgetting the game! Stop being loyal to the BMOC because he was pleasant to you once! And there shouldn't be "emotional connections" on Survivor.  Go on Big Brother for that shit.

[LadyChatts]

What is it with these people trying to play nice?  I'm so disappointed in Kyle right now.  He was one of my last hopes in this game to make something happen.  

Let's just write Joe or Eva the check and call it a season.

Yeah.  Joe was friends with David and sent him home when the time came.
