S48.E11: "Coconut Etiquette" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[LadyChatts]

And Joe is giving a big sad sob story.  Maybe he is going?  

And Mary is also getting a backstory.  Now I'm back to her going.  

Kyle's over there looking conflicted.  Didn't think he'd have to choose between a battle of the stories tonight!  Kamilla is now explaining the hardships her family has had.  This TC is making me miss when they played the telephone game.  Sorry, that's the dark part of my heart speaking but I watch these shows to escape reality.

[WatcherUp2]

Stop crying! There's no crying in Survivor!

[iMonrey]

"Well, Jeff, my parents are rich so I don't need the money. Bye!"

[Carey]

Still would be surprised if Joe goes.  Not shocked though.

Sorta still unhappy about Carmine's exit, BTW.  Probably worth it to give her a second chance (if she wants one), but I doubt it.  Though I also doubted Wentworth getting several future chances before the second one took place

Carmine?

[LadyChatts]

Love how Jeff quickly segues from sob stories to game talk.  

[willco]

Probably Mary. I agree it's misdirection.

Untrue. Probst uses contestant tears in his Botox routine.

Mary is either putting on an amazing acting performance or wasn't included in the plan and a blindside is still happening.  But I'm leaning towards her going home.

Carmine?

The fourth boot from Season forty-three

[Pepper the Cat]

Well damn.

[Rodney]

Finally!  Voting!

[susannot]

Once again I notice that Kyle is not joining in the sob stories about the hardships endured by their parents.  I wonder if the other players have picked up on this? Kyle grew up privileged, I am sure of it.

 

Come on Kyle, make a big move.

[LadyChatts]

So Eva didn't play her SWP.

[MerBearHou]

I’m always amazed at how eloquently people at Tribal answer the questions thrown at them — no hemming and hawing, and let me think a minute, Jeff — they come up with well-worded answers without filler.  I don’t know how they do it without editing.  But there  shouldn’t be editing — it should be “as is, as said”.

[Pepper the Cat]

Even the jury is shaking their heads about the missed opportunity to take Joe out

[Lantern7]

I has an underwhelm.

[LadyChatts]

And Eva didn't play her idol.  Let's go Kyle!

[Brown44]

So they leave the guy in that has been 1, 2 or 3 in challenges. And the chances of Joe going on a idol run is highly likely. (Immunity run)

The votes:

MARY

JOE

MARY

MARY

MARY

Mary's out.

[dizzyd]

Lmao David giving Mary a standing O. I salute her too, she was the only one with guts and did her best to work from the bottom. Her flaw was teaming with David and that everyone else is a coward.

[MerBearHou]

Kamilla and Star stifling laughter at goofball David standing up for Mary like it’s a damn movie.  I said OMG out loud!!!!

[Rodney]

David standing up indicates his clear disappointment in the others.

[Straycat80]

Bye Mary. You played a good game. Oh sit down David. 
They just handed Joe the win.

[truthaboutluv]

I knew the blindside wasn't happening because I feel like it was never truly spoken about intensely. It was clear the editors just tried to make the episode semi-interesting since the Mary vote was so obvious. 

[LadyChatts]

Where did they find these people?  This is seriously the worst season.  

[Brown44]

Awkward. 

[KeithJ]

Sit your ass down David.  

[iMonrey]

Well I hope nobody really got their hopes up, I never thought there was any real chance it was Joe. This season is so boring.

[Thalia]

What the hell, David?   

I guess he really does need a million dollars to get a woman to stay with him for longer than five minutes. 

[truthaboutluv]

David is such a corny goofball. I'm convinced that's why the girlfriend didn't really want to marry him and not because of money - or at least it was both. The being broke and corny. Kamilla laughing at his lameness was hilarious.

I didn't but a small part of me was still hoping.  Hope everyone enjoys losing to Joe!  But at least they can all be proud of their game.  Anyone who tried out for this season and didn't get picked must be home screaming at their TV every week.  This is why I'm praying S50 isn't stacked with new era players.  We need people in there who know how to play and aren't afraid to make moves and get dirty.

I don't know why David did what he did but honestly who cares, he wasn't even the biggest dumb ass there tonight.

Yeah, there's no actual villains (which would at least be interesting), but they're all so damn boring. I still miss Sai and Cedrek, who were more fun than anyone left.

[Lantern7]

“He showed me beads.” DRAMA!!!

Onto TAR . . .

Over dramatic. 

[susannot]

Gah, so boring.  Hooray that Amazing Race comes next.

[truthaboutluv]

I do think the seeds were sown for Shauhin and Kyle that they may be running out of time to make a bold move. The problem is Joe is likely to go on an Immunity run, and they won't be able to get rid of him. 

Mary thinks the players were scared to sit next to her at the end. Um, okay then. Sure girl, go with that...

Furthermore, I thought you were talking about a more memorable Lindsay.  From season 42, not season 43.  Okay point in comparison to Joe's stress, but several people actually do not remember that other Lindsay

[MerBearHou]

Ok, off to Amazing Race!

[Maggie Mae]

Bunch of damn idiots. Eva said she was saving her swp and idol for next tribal. They will both make it to five!! Jeez! What game are they playing?!

I love Mary, but that was the dumbest thought by far in those final 60 minutes.  Her tribe trended toward a 6-6-0 outcome

 But she can’t.  The SWP had to be played with seven left.

LOL, I remember no Lindsey ever nor do I remember who won or anybody at all for that matter from Seasons 42 and 43.  I "delete" each Survivor other than some earlier ones from my memory banks 5 minutes after the Finale ends.
