S29.E14: This Is My Time / Live Reunion

[Tara Ariano]

The final five castaways compete for a spot in the final tribal council where they are questioned by the jury.

[riley702]

Blech. This is the part of the finales I hate so much - Probst blathering on to us and the studio audience in between segments of the actual show. It's as annoying as all the cuts to the THs during PBS at fund-raising time. Less talk, more actual show would be appreciated.

[LizBug]

Wonder if Missy is getting any pain meds for her injury.

So far, looks like the practice didn't help Keith that much. Whoops ... Spoke too soon. Good job, Keith.

It took me 39 days....all these episodes and I finally found somebody to root for..Keith.  LOL

 

I'm enjoying Jeff blathering in between segments.  I especially liked the Make a Wish kid who designed that wretched challenge from last week.  I'm now wondering if Natalie is going to flip on her alliance.

[riley702]

Me, too. I'd be very suspicious of someone asking me not to play my idol.

[LizBug]

Whoa ... Great blindside! The jury was loving it. Now, it's Missy's turn to be pissed.

[riley702]

Damn, Natalie, that was fabulous!

[candall]

30 minute mark:

 

It's silly and embarrassing how much I've been looking forward to tonight's Survivor finale.  And NOT so I could watch Jeff Probst discussing 2000 daily calorie allotments or chat with the studio audience.

 

Jeff, your talk show bombed.  You just need to accept that.

[EvilApplesauce]

I have goosebumps. Twinnie is officially one of my favorite female contestants EVER!

[susannot]

Wow!!  Why did she do that?  Was she thinking that Missy/Baylor had a great argument for getting to the end together?  But they would split the vote, probably.  Was Nat thinking that the jury respects big moves?  Obviously they do, but now each member of the F4 has a jury member/loved one to vote for them, while Nat does not.

 

If they get Jaclyn out next,I feel sure that Nat has John's vote.I'm sure she picked up on that at TC.

 

Looking forward to reading all of your trenchant comment, as always.

I know, right? Who woulda thunk it?

[Oinky Boinky]

This constant interrupting of  the show for meaningless chit chat is really annoying.  Jeff is breaking the 4th wall and constantly reminding us that this all happened 6 months ago - takes you out of the atmosphere of the show.  

I keep changing the channel.

 

SHUT UP PROBST!!

I think Natalie was thinking that, after Keith, Baylor was her biggest competition for the final immunity challenge. If Missy-Natalie-Baylor made it to the end, Baylor would be able to argue that she was always on the right side of the vote, and that she was instrumental in the blindside of Jon. Maybe Natalie knew Baylor well enough to know that Baylor wouldn't be bitter about being voted out, unlike maybe Missy? Their friendship seems tight enough that Baylor may benefit Natalie on the jury, rather than as Natalie's opponent in the F3. Jaclyn has no hope to win, so better to take her as a goat. 

[riley702]

Famous last words! Who would believe she could win II? Will she take Natalie in gratitude?

Edited December 18, 2014 by riley702

[susannot]

I would vote out Missy.  How does she deserve to be in the Final 3?  OTOH, Keith is still a threat, and Missy is an ideal goat.

[EvilApplesauce]

"I see no reason why Jaclyn should get rid of Natalie."

 

Keith, YMMV, but I see at least one reason: Natalie is mostly likely to sweep the votes at FTC.

[NYGirl]

If she was smart she'd take Missy and Keith...not Natalie.

[LizBug]

Jaclyn has shown that she's able to think stratigically about the game. But who's the bigger threat for jury votes ... Keith or Natalie's? She can't take both of them out.

[Straycat80]

I think Keith will be gone. I did not want to see these three women in the F3 but Natalie does deserve the win.

[bluebonnet]

Oh no, looks like Natalie might not make it.  She was the only thing holding me to this season.  Not even sure I can finish the rest of the finale if she's voted out.  And the only smart thing at this point is to vote her out because she'd sweep the votes.  

[cleo]

Yeah if Natalie is out so am I. I didn't think Jaclyn was trustworthy. She strikes me as someone that very quickly forgets once she is comfortable and has some power

ETA Natalie for the win! I liked the twins from day 1.

God is real.

[riley702]

Wow, so happy! Keith will vote for Natalie.

Edited December 18, 2014 by riley702

[susannot]

Now I will keep watching.  I was out if Nat was out.

 

Keith is hilarious: "I was blindsided by 3 women.  I can barely handle one woman in the house."

[PaperTree]

Sorry to see Keith go.  I love his wife!

[Bluerang1]

Woah that surprised. Ideally whoever was left, either Nat or Keith, deserved to win. So hopinh Nat wins!

[bluebonnet]

Wow, that was a dumb move by Jac and Missy.  Natalie sat there and said she'd win and they still voted to keep her!  Awesome for me!  

 

It's too bad this is Blood vs Water and Jac and Missy are each getting at least one vote.  Otherwise I'm pretty sure Nat would sweep the votes and get the title of having played a perfect game since her name was never written down until it counted.  If she'd only taken Baylor and Missy...

[susannot]

I'm afraid that Jaclyn, being tall, blond, and beautiful, has a chance to win.  Of course she has John's vote and maybe also slack-jawed Alec.

 

It's between Nat and Jaclyn. I can't believe that Missy has a chance.

 

Alec looks high.

[Gianthambeast]

So relieved-- go Nat!  I thought she was dead meat when she said outright she could win, but thankfully she's still there.  Not much of a choice for Jaclyn--  she would lose against either Keith or Nat. 

[Bluerang1]

Alec looks like an idiot with his mouth open.

[riley702]

Really, Missy? This jury is just as important as those at a murder trial? Please get over yourself and quit spouting cliches.

Edited December 21, 2014 by riley702

[kaygeeret]

Not watched much, but can someone tell me why an injured contestant is allowed to stay in the game and NOT COMPETE???????  What a deal - move on to final three on the basis of not competing and not winning anything in 4 or 5 competitions!

 

I don't get it, can anyone help?

[LizBug]

Oh, Jaclyn -that was the worst final speech.

[Gianthambeast]

...and right away the integrity and chronic disease cards are played.  Really lame.   Natalie FTW.

[riley702]

Hope the guys rip Missy's integrity claim to shreds.

[Lantern7]

Why is the episode so long? Between the Day 36 reward challenge and Probst's pop-ins, I think this might be the shortest reunion yet. Or maybe that's the point. BTW: Young Groom Keith? So goofy-looking, you guys. Even more goofy than Alec's perma-slackjaw.

[susannot]

Nat's final speech was not the best, but she did remind the jury that it is about outwit, outlast, outplay; not who has the slobbiest sad story about being born without reproductive organs.

[cooksdelight]

Jaclyn saying she needed the million so she could give Jon a child. Really? You are starting to sound like Rachel of the dreaded Brenchel duo. They HAD to win AR so she could have a baby. I know plenty of people who've adopted a child without a million dollars.

[PaperTree]

I don't expect any fireworks.  Everybody is just too mellow.

[cooksdelight]

I was right. Jaclyn must pick out Jon's clothes for him, because she wasn't around to dress him today.

[Straycat80]

I figured Missy would play the sympathy card (broken ankle) and Jaclyn too (medical condition). Hope Natalie wins.

Alec: close your mouth!

[cooksdelight]

These are the lamest questions in the history of Survivor.

[riley702]

Wes, put your tongue back in your mouth!

[susannot]

I wish Wes would stop sticking his tongue out.

[Gianthambeast]

Heh,heh nicely done Reed.

[cooksdelight]

Damn, Reed, tell us how you feel! LOL

[Bluerang1]

Welp at Reed

[susannot]

Drama your name is Reed!

[Artsda]

Missy shouldn't have been allowed to make it this far with her injury and not being able to compete. If you can't compete you should be taken out. What's the point of her staying in the game, not participating in any of the challenges including the last one and be dragged to the final 3? 

[riley702]

Drama your name is Reed!

He wasn't wrong, though!
