S32.E14: LIVE CHAT: Not Going Down Without A Fight

[Whimsy]

Because it's the finale and there may be lots of chatter during the episode itself, this is your LIVE CHAT.  It will not open until the episode starts to air.  There will be a separate thread for the reunion.

[Daisy]

I'm not even going to lie - when Jeff said "Take a Look" I fully expected him to show Mark the Chicken. 

and here, we, GO!

 

(stupid livecut open). 

[candall]

LOL, Jeff couldn't get his enthusiasm mojo on with the sepulcher music going in the background.

[wallflower75]

Do you suppose that we'll actually have a complete hour-long reunion this time, where everyone gets a chance to talk?  And a longer FTC, where the F2 (I'm guessing it's F2 since there are only four left) get to make arguments to the jury?

you're so cute. of course not. 
we're gonna focus on Tai, the Bullies, and the Evacuated. everyone else just sit back and relax.

<3 Mark. Mark FTW

[wallflower75]

Awww...love that Mark's just hanging out on Tai's shoulder like that.

[Lamb18]

 Go Mark!

No.

[Daisy]

Mark is awesome. 

[LadyChatts]

Hi everyone!  I won't be able to watch until later, but look forward to following along.  Even in a boring season, this board makes me want to keep on watching just for the comments.  We had some good ones this season!

question: do we know Mark's fate?

Go Aubry and Tai!

So Far, mark is alive.

*sigh*  I know, I know...but a girl can dream for a little while that it could happen.  Seriously NOT looking forward to the time that will be wasted on those wastes of space, Jason and Scot.

[candall]

Even though it was somewhat self-serving, Tai is so sweet to take Mark down to the beach so his crowing doesn't wake people up.  Scott would've just popped his little head off.

[riverheightsnancy]

I cannot remember, is this the first time that we have had so many women in the last 4?

(hug). I know. 
hey. this challenge looks very familiar. I know this isn't a new one. 

[wallflower75]

Dang...go Aubry!!

[Straycat80]

Anybody see the live backstage chat on Facebook? Joe (man bun) was hosting. I won't say any spoilers except some of the guys are wearing some interesting outfits. 

[riverheightsnancy]

Man, are those real, sharp machetes? That could be so dangerous if a person fell on it or bumped into someone. 

[candall]

Another huge mongo meal reward supports my theory they're trying to make someone so full they can't keep up in the challenges.

[MostlyContent]

Looks like Aubs has this in the bag.  She has had some amazingly lucky balance stuff going on.

Survivor One World had women in the final five. Tarzan was the last man standing and went out at #6

[Daisy]

ooho no aubrey has a wrong tile!

[candall]

Well, shit!  How tense is this?!

Should we take bets as to how long the winner gets to speak?  If it's Aubry, 7 minutes.  Tai, 10 minutes.  Michele or Cydney, 5.  Then we'll switch to the bullies, the medevacs, Debbie, Mark, and whoever Jeff finds in the audience to talk to for 10 minutes and pimp The Price Is Right.

San Juan Del Sur?

Should something happen to Mark, I wonder if they'll dare show it, given how popular he is.

[wallflower75]

Oh nooooo...Aubry doesn't realize that those last ones don't match.

[Daisy]

Aubrey! yay!! 

[J.D.]

Dang!  I can't even find time to comment.  Too busy watching.  

[ratherbereading]

Yes Aubrey!!

 

I am really rooting for her.

San Juan Del Sur had 3 women and 1 man so this does match that season. :)

[wallflower75]

I was about to comment about it not being a good idea to take Cydney on the reward challenge, but from what she just said, it does make sense.

Me too!  Which probably means she's doomed, since my faves never pull it off.

Hmmmm... I like your numbers. 
Tai gets more minutes (because he's part of the "BURN IT DOWN Birgade. Aubrey gets 10 because she got the "Growth Narriative" AND she was impacted by the evacuations. Michele/Cyd is right on target. 

 

and Cydney is the right choice.. you don't want Michelle/Cyd together. Tai/Michele is dangerous, but I think i would have picked out Michelle. Cyd isn't too high on Tai. but.. either really could have worked. 

[LanceM]

Just for the record Jeff, Gloria the Chicken lasted until day 39 as well in Micronesia.

[candall]

AUBRY!  Good balance AND smart when it comes to picking a rewards partner.  Don't pig out, you two--there's a nice spread after the last elimination!

[Straycat80]

Go Aubrey! She has played this game hard, deserves to win.

even when it come to Fowl, Jeff likes the guys. 

[wallflower75]

You know, this is the first time in a while where I truly don't have a clue as to which one is going to win.

[simplyme]

If you count Mark the chicken, that's 4 females and one little oldish guy.

Micronesia had an all-female Final 4.

How do people remember this stuff?  I have zero recollection of any of the past seasons.  Or the players, even the winners, let alone the chickens.

[MostlyContent]

It was nice to see Aubrey and Cyd talking and laughing.  Cyd's honest smile/big grin was breathtaking!   Such a pretty lady.  

[Daisy]

yah. that's what I thought. Michele would have been better. but then you have Cranky Cyd. 

[Lamb18]

Oh oh, Aubry's in trouble. Oh Tai, don't backstab Aubry - Mark will never forgive you!

Up until HvV i am pretty much on point, but things like the chickens.... i'm out. since then every season is really the same to me.

Me too.  Hoping for Aubry, but really, it's the first season in a long time where there isn't anyone I'm actively rooting against and will threaten to throw my TV out the window if that outcome happens.  As of now, I'd find Michele and Cydney kind of boring, forgettable winners, but I won't be unhappy if they did win.  Just thankful I don't have to look at the ugly beards and tattoos that I thought for sure would be sitting smugly in the finale.  Hopefully Jeff doesn't waste a ton of time at the reunion on them.  It won't even be worth it like it was for Dan.

[Daisy]

Yeah, I think we have a final two. (he didn't say "the 8th and last member of our jury." )

remember when you berated Cydney about being slow Jeff? shut it. 

Aubrey is kicking all the kinds of ass.

When they have medevacs like Caleb and then still do a boot, I wish they'd just consider the medevac the boot for that ep.  I hate having a final 2 anymore.  Definitely prefer a final 3.

[candall]

Well, Aubry is kicking ass and taking names!  When did she get to be such a powerhouse?

[Lamb18]

Come on Aubry! Go girl!!!

[MostlyContent]

It's amazing to me how in shape Aubrey must be.   This is day 37 and she just seems to get better and even more physical.  How is that even possible?
