S32.E06: Play Or Go Home

[Tara Ariano]

The tribes play for a hearty food reward; pressure mounts when one castaway interrogates a fellow tribe mate.

...and a flirt class from the greek god and model LOL

... and I just threw up in my mouth again.

[wallflower75]

Did Debbie just call Nick an Adonis?  Ugh ugh ugh.

[thehepburn]

Boom! Title quote by Nick. 

 

We have some nice parting gifts on the way out . . . . . 

[LadyChatts]

Nick's getting quite a bit of screen time tonight. Hope he closes the night by taking the walk of shame after getting his torch snuffed.

Debbie: part time model. Oh, editors.

[LadyChatts]

Now here's the asshole side of Nick I was waiting for. Please tell me he is going tonight.

[candall]

Really?  A basketball challenge?  No requirement for shooter rotation?

 

Well that seems about right.

[LadyChatts]

Is Peter trying to blow this? Just seems like he was intentionally moving kind of slow. Also, I could never play Jenga, so this challenge would totally be my undoing.

More of my faves are on yellow, so hoping they can pull a win off. Even if that tribe does include Scot and Peter.

And hey, another challenge where they try and kill the Survivors.

Damn, Nick the douche lives another day. Please send Peter packing.

I'm thinking Debboe sometimes reminds me of the huge turtle in The Never Ending Story.

[LadyChatts]

So is this going to be an obvious Peter vs Joe or a total shocker?

[LanceM]

I am glad to see Michele is not falling for anything Nick is saying.

 

Bye Peter.

[riverheightsnancy]

Kinda loving Debbie. She is great in challenges and is not afraid and they really don't hold her age against her because she proves them wrong. Debbie (or Tai) for the win!

[LadyChatts]

I'm not too convinced Peter is going. Seems too obvious (or in my case too much to hope for). Thinking they may send Tai or Joe packing because they consider them deadweight.

[cooksdelight]

I love when they show a big ol' snake as they are plotting who to vote for. And the monkey who looked like he wanted some of the food reward.

[LadyChatts]

Ooh, now Fauxbama is targeting Julia? Hope this means he backs himself into a corner.

[wallflower75]

ARGH.  Darn it, I'd started to like Julia!!  Please don't let it be her!

[cooksdelight]

Julia reminds me of Abi, some of her mannerisms and expressions.

[LadyChatts]

I have to think its Peter, or at least someone not considered a target. Peter wants to vote for Julia, everyone else needs Peter for strength, so they pretend to vote Julia, tell whoever their target is that they are voting Peter, and then vote that person.

[cooksdelight]

That was gratifying.

[wallflower75]

Julia reminds me of Abi, some of her mannerisms and expressions.

 

I didn't see it until I saw this post, but now I do.  Something about the shape of her face (and being blonde helps).

 

So...a mostly boring episode saved by an interesting and ultimately satisfying end.

[Haleth]

That TC was crazy. I'm not sure anyone had any idea what the plan was. It was a free for all.

[LadyChatts]

Don't know if this lived up to Jeffs hype for this episode, buts great ending. Boring episode overall, hoping Nick follows the good doctor out.

[Daisy]

I was getting scared for Julia. SOOOOO HAPPY right now. See yah you arrogant Fauxbama. 

LOL and the Debbie Job Wheel lands on <<teee, heee, hee, hee..tick>> Model! (lol she really is a Jill of all Trades, eh?). 

No matter how nice Scot is now - he was still a bully to Alecia. don't care about him and his bromance with Tai, Show. 

[Straycat80]

Is there any occupation or anything Debbie hasn't done? Model?

I thought the challenges were a bit biased, fashioned to favor tall people, or in this case a certain ex-NBA player. But then again Scot's team lost the last challenge.

Buh-bye Peter you arrogant jack ass ! Glad Aubrey changed her mind at the last minute.

[ByaNose]

Debbie is hysterical! Now, a model. What's next?

[LadyChatts]

And even in the end, Fauxbama was gracious. Just kidding, he's still a jerk that can't admit he was outplayed.

[cleo]

Okay so I think I’m Team Debbie for the win. Wait, hear me out.

 

Reasons:

 

1. Everyone else ranges from bland to arrogant to obnoxious to just generally unlikeable.
2. She is really entertaining, and I include her self-delusions in this.
3. I kind of admire her scheming. Much as she is deluded about herself, she seems skilled (so far) at working people. I feel like she would be a successful con artist.

 

But this is the capper:

 

4. I realllly want to see Jeff announce her as the sole survivor. Just picture it. It would be hysterical.

 

Nick really does seem like a sociopath.

I would have preferred Aubrey or Joe because I found them both insufferable tonight but I'll take it. Aubrey snarking on Julia talking to Peter and saying that she should be asking what is needed irritated me because for cod's sack Julia JUST got there, let her feel things out first instead of imperiously judging her like the queen bee you apparently think you are.

Julia is adorable and I just want to keep her in my pocket. I'm also loving the Tai/Scot bromance to be honest.

A vote cross out! Never seen that before I don't think.

[dkb]

Peter brought that on himself, so stop blaming Aubrey and Joe. I was really interested in what his last words would be and he doesn't disappoint with the arrogance. I hope Aubrey and Joe make it all the way to the end just to spite him.

Then jeff will go. "HOW?~ HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?"

Nope. I've never seen that before. (not to that extent.)

[LadyChatts]

So Jeff said that a first or rare occurrence was happening st TC tonight. Was that vote cross out it? Because, snooze.

I wonder if Peter is sitting home tonight watching this and still thinking where they went wrong, not where he went wrong.

[vb68]

Awesome ending.  Peter did it to himself honestly.  I'm not sure why he backed off Joe after getting confronted.   If he committed to the non-Brains people like he really wanted, he would have stayed.  Instead it blows up in his face.  Less Obama and more Wyle E. Coyote.

 

Still struggling with this very Meh cast.

I was just thinking if that was the first time we have seen that.  I think it is.

Debbie is hysterical! Now, a model. What's next?

Mensa member?

Supertaster? 

Olympic gymnast?

Anime artist?

Jockey?

Sanitation Technician?

Illusionist?

Alien from Vega?

Psychic?

A human?

[LanceM]

So was this episode the coming out party for both Julia and Michele who have been pretty invisible up to now?  Glad to see Julia survive and I like that she didn't sit around and wait for others to help but actually was one of the people to go up to Aubry to tell her that Peter was gunning for her.   I also loved Michele this episode feeding Nick's ego for the time period because you know she wanted to just tell him to eff off.  Anyone notice we didn't hear a word from Jason all night?

[NYGirl]

I'm beginning to see why you guys are calling this season boring.. it is.  I've been rooting for Tai all season and more recently Debbie.  I'm just so glad to have people that I actually like this season.  The season Mike won I didn't like one person...now that makes for a boring season.

 

Bye bye Peter.  Boy even the faces he made showed his arrogance.

[vb68]

That's progress.  Now if only Scot and Nick will be quiet too. 

[loki567]

My guess is this is going to be a women-dominated post-merge because the editors keep hammering the, "I want a woman to win," and most of the guys are jerks/under-edited. 

 

I guess I can jump aboard the Debbie winner train. She's a big goofy character and the winners aren't usually edited like that, but so was Fabio. The editors are working with what they're given. 

[ihartcoffee]

Peter looked so swkw5 on the end there, you could tell he didn't fit with that tribe. He's so smarmy.

I want Tai to win, but he's too nice. He'll be taken out.

This season is pretty dull.

[ElleryAnne]

Glad Peter's gone.  I was wondering if all of that "original plan" nonsense was going to result in the wrong person going home.

 

Tuna salad?  I'm sure any food is welcome for the reward challenge, but tuna salad in a hot environment wouldn't be my first choice - especially with all of those bugs around.  

 

Six weeks into the season, and there are still contestants I barely know, which rarely happens.  There's a Michele?

She is quite comical. And she does scheme like a pro.

[PaperTree]

Debbie for Queen Bee!  Dr. Dumbass is gone!!

 

As unlikable as the whole cast is, I enjoy none of them trusting each other.

[ihartcoffee]

ARGH. Darn it, I'd started to like Julia!! Please don't let it be her!

She's so young and seems very sweet, didn't want to see her go out like that. Glad she got to stick around for the merge.

[Ms Blue Jay]

It's like 50 replies in 20 minutes already.

 

Michelle:

We finally get to meet her and she is so much better looking and interesting than we were allowed to see by the editors.  Her scene with Nick was hilarious.  Her reading him, and being monumentally pissed at him.  Very funny.

 

Peter:

Peter is not manipulative at all .  He actually seems to be really honest to everyone at every moment.  He actually never lied to Joe, never to his face.  Never lied to Scot, never lied to his face.  Yet everyone claims he's a snake who can't be trusted.  This is the crux of Peter.

 

Tai is actually 'arrogant' in the sense that he won't be able to see that he could have actually worked with Peter.  WHO CARES IF PETER IS ARROGANT?  He would have been good to work with.  Nobody on this show seems particularly good at reading people.  I think Nick was bad at reading Debbie.  Tai is bad at reading Peter.   Anyways.  Peter was looking hotter and hotter every moment.  I actually prefer him over a LOT of the other players.  A LOT.  Peter is not a WILD CARD if he literally says everything he's going to do, and then does that thing.

 

Other bullet points

- Joe and Aubrey walking around all grumpy together, in each other's clothes.  They bother me.

- Aubrey seems really cold out there.  She wears as many layers as a medieval knight.

- Cydney's body

- The IC was very exciting

 

Yellow tribe impressed me with that immunity challenge.  They have 2 "brains" versus 3 on blue but won  with a lack of ego.  Nick actually had a plan to help everyone over the wall after he jumped over.  With all of the sociopath jokes here, I found that funny.

I agree!!  This whole season is dull without her.  I want to see a rampage that takes out the alpha males.  I noticed bounty boy was almost invisible tonight.

I could get behind Debbie as a winner, if for any other reason that it would probably make Probst's head explode. It probably won't happen, but who knows! I didn't expect her to still be here at this point. Glad Julia and Michele got more screen time tonight. Wish the same had been true for Nick and Fauxbama. Well, one douche down this season, 3 more to go. Hopefully the ladies band together and pick the men off.

[BusyOctober]

When Debbie said she modeled off and on for years, my only question was "I wonder if it was model planes or trains?"
