S48.E13: "Only One of Yous Can Win" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Lantern7]

Eva is starting to crack. Meanwhile, Probst is pitching a tent and he hasn’t figured out why.

[iMonrey]

I think Kamilla would get zero votes even if she's sitting between Joe and Eva.

Uh-oh.  The meltdown is starting now.

An episode over this?  When the showdown hasn't even started yet?

[Haleth]

This better not be a Gabbler repeat where the editing was so skewed that the ultimate winner is someone we never saw coming. 

[dizzyd]

Editing is making it look like Eva loses at fire but I’m not sure about that.

Colby and Tina?

Thank you.

[MerBearHou]

I’m sorry, I’m so over the crying from Eva.  

[gorgy]

those poor neighbors watching a would-be arsonist fail everyday

[Straycat80]

If Eva loses her shit making fire Kamilla might win this. OR…I hope Joe doesn’t talk Kyle into having him make fire instead. 

[Lantern7]

Kyle is considering going for the fire? Is he that friggin’ stupid?!? Or did Probst offer him a car under the table?

[iMonrey]

Notice, once again, KYLE is telling us about Eva's breakdown. Not Joe.

[LadyChatts]

I sympathize with Eva but seriously, Kyle better not back out putting her in fire because she is having trouble with the idea of it.

I swear I'm so over this Very Special Survivor season.

Oh, and now Kyle is thinking of going into fire?

Kyle's already considering doing it on his own.

[Haleth]

Wait, can Kyle choose himself for fire? How stupid is that?

I think Kyle might have talked himself into going to fire.

[dizzyd]

Please tell me these guys aren’t going to fold on do fire over Eva crying. 

[Brown44]

Holy crap he actually wants to sub in for Eva.

[KeithJ]

If Kyle doesn’t want to sit against Kamilla and Eva isn’t going to be able to make fire, he has to put Joe in fire with Kamilla.

[Rodney]

Joe's offering to do it in Eva's place, but she's telling him not to.

Eva it was fine when she was winning now the panic attacks are returning. 

Yep, when she had advantages and idols in to protect her as well as everyone taking her on food rewards she was all smiles. Now she is facing the reality of not making it to the final three and Joe cannot even help her.

That's the smart play, but I doubt that he'll do it.

[LadyChatts]

Somewhere Probst is watching from the wings and foaming at the mouth of how good this is going to make for TV (which it doesn't, but Probst lives for these moments).

[Thalia]

Maybe this is wrong of me, but I can't really feel sorry for Eva right now.  She got a lot of help from Joe throughout this competition, along with some good luck, and has happily voted out a lot of other people who also wanted to win the million.

Chris and Heidi both did in the past.

[Carey]

I mean, it's not easy to follow a season that was on the level of Season 8, but this is ridiculous.  Just operate as if it's anybody else & don't alter for Eva

[dizzyd]

What’s the deal with the paper in fire practice? I’ve never seen paper at the fire challenge.

Didn't someone else send themselves to fire making and won?

[Rodney]

Kamilla keeps getting some flames, but she can't build on them.  She needs to calm down.

[ponygirl]

Making fire classes should be conducted day 1 not day 25. IMHO.

So the girls will be making fire? 

The women will, yes.

Chris did in season thirty-eight to knock out Rick, and Heidi did so in 44 to knock out Carson.

Especially her just sitting there when Mitch told her he knew he was going home and had been told, and she just had this matter-of-fact look on her face and was like 'yep'.  And seemed overconfident that her and Joe would be safe and Mitch would go.  Of all the times for a duo not to get blindsided...

[Carey]

I think everyone that's given up immunity for fire won there.  Only one person ended up winning out but if not, they finished in second

[Haleth]

Kamilla is going to win the fire making. The underdog always wins.

Joe talked about it eventually.

No, Joe will use his laser stare to get Eva’s fire started.

Sometimes, the overdog does.  See: Heidi from 44.

I'll be surprised if I remember who won in a couple of months.  I know Rachel won last season but I sure as heck can't remember anything about her (heck, I had to go look up who was in the final 3 with her).  Yet ask me about Survivor Africa and my recall is a lot better.

I couldn't remember who won last season until I read this.

I'm a little angry about Eva crying. I know she's not faking it. But Kyle is now thinking doing fire against Kamilla and Joe helps Eva. And here's Kamilla working away at fire, struggling, working it out on her own. I don't think she'll win, but I hope she does.

 

[Kjharrison]

Not to be heartless about it, but Kamilla is also struggling, she’s just doing it quietly! 

[Pepper the Cat]

Once again I swear these people are wearing new clothes

Kamilla's not neurodivergent like Eva is.

And makeup.

[gorgy]

The time has come for you to fire-make for your life. Good luck and don't fuck it up!

[Rodney]

Shauhin is shocked at Kyle's decision.

[Straycat80]

The jury looks like they’re freaking out that Kyle chose Joe. Eva looks like she’s going to lose it again.

I just feel like Eva signed up to do the show and should have known what she was getting into.  She got extremely lucky she wound up on Lagi and not Vula, that she found a solid ally in Joe, and never had anyone willing to take a shot at her and Joe.  I mean she's been taken on almost every reward, and hasn't really had to do anything.

[Brown44]

Even the council is like "what is Kamilla talking about?"

It is a stunningly stupid decision.

[Lantern7]

Kyle makes the sane choice. If he had gone in and lost, he would’ve been smacked upside the head for . . . I dunno. A week? Maybe two?

[MerBearHou]

Shauhin is so excited to watch the fire-making!  He has such great spirit, that is for sure.
