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

[Lamb18]

I still have dishes to wash. That's what commercial breaks are for. This is an exciting finale.

[KaveDweller]

I wonder if Neal said that because he was pissed about not getting a vote, or because he already was planning to say something like that at FTC.

[ratherbereading]

Just now, Daisy said:

It's gonna be Mark. LOL Mark gets to vote. 

I would love that. Although you know he votes for Tai and I want Aubrey to win.

Neal was an ass. But Michelle is not going to win.

[thehepburn]

I'm glad that Neal went out with a bang! He was kinda screwed all game.

[innocuouspuff]

you may think you're a badass bitch but you're still a suckling puppy? Whoa Neal had his FTC speech ready and spit it out anyway. Why does Neal hate Michele?

[Dust Bunny]

I wonder if Mark is still alive, considering this season was filmed 12 years ago.

Wow. that was a sting. "You think you were a bad ass bitch, but you are nothing but a cute little puppy suckling at the teat, and you don't stand a chance."

yah. Neal was the right choice. 

That was rough, but hoping he's right.  Sadly, he might have tipped anyone wavering towards Michele. 

Also, again, I don't think Michele has done anything in this game besides being a follower.  So, kind of agree with him there.

I read the first part like the N'Sync song, "It's Gonna Be Me"

I think youre right. That was quite Shakespearean.

[MostlyContent]

I wonder if there is any way that Mark could have gone home with Tai?  I would love that.

Dishes?  I still have my whole dinner sitting here next to me on the couch, with twelve dogs about to drown in their own drool and a cat working on her 37th stealthy end run.

[MostlyContent]

A mirror and a scale.  Sort of neat.  :)

"Where's my butt?"  lol

Looking back through the season--why would anyone have much against Michele?  I don't remember her doing much that would've pissed a lot of people off.  (To be honest, until the last few eps, I barely remembered her at all.)

[PaperTree]

We all need a million dollars, honey

I think that's what will probably get her the win, unless people respect the game Tai and Aubry played.  I can name things those two did that got them here.  I can't with Michele, other than she was lucky.  I don't know if the jury dislikes her, or if its just Neal.

that;s why i don't want her to win. she didn't "do' anything really. 
 

also - Remember when Final Tribal wasn't 20 minutes? (sigh). 

[ratherbereading]

I love that Tai is bringing Mark.

[Daisy]

and Mark is at tribal. Tai might actually take him home.
and the jury loves it.

[cooksdelight]

Mark better have made the trip to L.A., I am so freakin' happy he's included in the final TC!!

[riverheightsnancy]

See Tai's talking head here shows that he understands the strategy. Tai needs to appeal to Scott and Jason as if they were so strong, he needed to vote them out. I think Tai can win because he played in your face and I think if he states that he can win (said this in the other thread last week too). I really do not think that Michelle has a chance. We will see. 

[MostlyContent]

Team Aubry!  

But, to be honest, I don't dislike any of them, which is unusual for me at this point.  

[NYGirl]

I agree.  I don't think Michele did anything.  I think Aubrey kind of ran the game with her little posse.

[Lamb18]

Go, Aubry! That was a good rehearsal speech. And Mark is going to tribal! The jury goes rogue and awards her the million dollars! Mark - sole chicken survivor!

[candall]

Did Tai just say "I look like a refugee"?

Ummm. . . .

[LadyChatts]

Same here.  Tai, I think will be seen as too much of a traitor (probably thanks to the bullies bullying everyone in Ponderosa to agree not to vote for him) but really, Tai didn't play a bad game.  Some of the more crucial moves are no doubt why he's here.  Same with Aubry.  I just think Michele is the one who didn't force any blindsides or really deeply betray anyone.  I'd say she has the bullies and Nick lined up, and Julia will vote with them.  Debbie and Joe for Aubry.  Still not sure with Cydney.  Like I said, Neal's little insult may have screwed Aubry.

[Lamb18]

Smart Tai - bringing Mark to final tribal to help him win sympathy votes. Mark will sit on the jury and lay eggs for Tai.

Team Aubry here too.  I won't be super upset if it's Tai, but...I dunno.  Maybe it's because she didn't seem to have much game for 2/3 of the season, but if Michele wins, I'll be disappointed.  I've heard of under-the-radar edits, but she was pretty much the invisible woman until she somehow upped her game at the end.

like even when Michele was talking I'm like honey your little adjustments were Cydney/Aubrey saving you. you did nothing. 
it might have yah (Neal's comment). i hope not. 

[KaveDweller]

Wow, there's either no time for tribal or no time for the reunion. 

[wallflower75]

Let's see...fifteen minutes until 9 pm CST.  Heeeeeyyy, we might actually get a full hour for the reunion after all!

[Daisy]

(sigh). no opening statements. they really shouldn't cut this out, Show. 
I like Nick's opening statement.

[Dust Bunny]

Nick: You might not get questions. You might get a statement. Like this one.

Edited May 19, 2016 by Dust Bunny

[wallflower75]

Wow...that was a pretty good summation from Nick.  Who woulda thunk it?

[Daisy]

Lame question Debbie: basically are you psycho? 
Tai is answering really well.. Aubrey is like whu?

I think what made me disappointed with Michele's edit is that, pre-show, Probst really hyped her and refered to her as being a Parvati like player.  She really sold herself as having game.  So I kept waiting...and waiting...and waiting.  Nothing.  Meanwhile, over with Tai and Aubry (heck, even Mark had more game-he managed to stay alive!)

[Lamb18]

Oh, Tai, denying he was flipping! He should own it and explain why.

[riverheightsnancy]

Ha, Debbie saying that Tai has multiple personality. HA (oh Debbie you so crazy!). 

[Lamb18]

Geek warrior! Good term, Debby!

[Daisy]

Very nice Aubrey - don't apologise for the move, but show regret for it, why you did it, and throw the respect vote in there. 
Michelle gets ignored.

The same Probst who kept telling us that Kelly Wiglesworth had a great story arc last season, right?

Guess it takes one to know one.  Wonder if they will list various occupations for Debbie at the reunion.

[J.D.]

Tai needs to edit his responses if he hopes to have a chance to win. He's going to stick his foot in his mouth one too many times by saying too much.

[candall]

Aubry:  Thanks, DEBBIE.

[Daisy]

Yeah. Julia is basically explaining why Michele would suck as a winner. (she's like Neleh "I started playin' on day 21!" that might not be enough. 
I don't like Michele's answer. 

[Pepper the Cat]

Scot is just radiating anger. This could be I interesting

[Daisy]

Please hide Mark. Scot looks like he'd rip the head off and eat it to break Tai. 
Bad answer Tai. (also - Aubrey ignored by Julia)

[LadyChatts]

God I hope this is pointing towards and Aubry win.

[Lamb18]

Wow, Joe speaks really well. Where's this wise man been all season?

[candall]

Well, listen to Joe jaw on!  And he looks fabu!!!

[Daisy]

Scot is going to explode. Tai isn't answering well. 
Michele is ignored by Joe (obvs). 
Aubrey is ticking off a lot of reasons  why she's awesome and how Tai isn't good. girl.. sell it.
