Live Chat: S34.14: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished / Reunion

[mojoween]

Ozzy, I already noticed that you look weird for the reunion, and now you're throwing in with Brad.  Please don't make me stop loving you.

[MissEwa]

This was kind of fun for a bit but now it's getting messy and overlong. Make it over already. 

ETA. I would like Sarah more if she didn't equate every thing she did in this game to being a police officer.

Now I'm thinking Probst and Debbie would give each other concussions diving for Brad's jock. Very disappointed in her.

And now Sarah is saying Brad is a professional athlete, so no wonder he did so well in the challenges.

So votes are looking like:

Sarah-Zeke, Cirie, Michaela

Brad-Debbie, Ozzy

Troy-no one.

I'd think it's safe to say that Tai is not voting to give Brad a million dollars.

[LadyChatts]

Sarah just gave an amazing closing statement.

I think Troy knows he's not winning.  He's giving a "thanks for the parting gifts" speech.

Brad is sulking as usual.  If he loses I'm sure he's going to blame the TC format.

Oh, I'm sorry...Troyzan's still here?  At least he knows he's out.  Kudos to him for appearing to take it well.

[Daisy]

Oh right. Troy's still here. 

[PaperTree]

If I need a lawyer, I would not hire Brad.

Good Sarah, in on every vote, constantly adapting.

Troy concedes

[mojoween]

Also, Debbie sucks.

[Haleth]

I like the discussion better than canned Q and As.

And yes, Debbie sucks.

can I like this, yet not like it?

He looked like he had tears in his eyes when it was over.

So rather than questioning Jeff made it a "final tribal counsel" where they all discussed everything.  At first I didn't like it but I'm thinking it's good for all of them to discuss the game like that.  Sometimes it helps sway someone on the vote.

[MissEwa]

Fishbach just tweeted: If the jury's not thinking what he wants them to think, he can just ask a leading question or turn it over to someone whose opinion he likes

True. This is a lot easier for Jeff to manipulate than the standard FTC format. 

[enlightenedbum]

Actually, I just thought of a good reason to vote for Troy: metagaming.

All of these people suck.  So you vote to punish the strategy of bringing a goat for future players.

Brad would be the perfect lawyer if you need to sue someone who gave you bad tattoos. He knows the pain of getting terrible tattoos!

He's probably secretly praying that the clip of him saying he could beat anyone doesn't make it to air.

So Sarah likely has Zeke, Michaela, Cirie, Hali, Tai

Brad Ozzy, Debbie, maybe Sierra.

Damn, the reunion is going to be shorter than normal this year.

I like it because i think it's open discussion and then everyone gets to know everything. 
What I don't like is - some of the jury were making the final 3 arguments for them. that's not how it should go. 

[Michichick]

Just now, Haleth said:

Agreed. Though you would probably not see an Amanda-style total final tribal failure with this format, since each player's advocates on the jury are helping them make their points.

I think Ozzy is totally wrong to support Brad, but I totally get it.  He has to vote Brad to justify his own all braun, no brains strategy that has failed over and over 

[cooksdelight]

All the compass puzzles? It's Jeep's new line, the Compass. And with the very same symbol as the logo.

Mystery solved!

It is a way for Probst to get even more air time.

I predict that within ten years, when you switch the channel to CBS, you will see Probst talking 24 hours a day.

It will be "All Probst - All the Time!"

yah. Jeff should have shut up. 

[RiverSong]

I think the format would work really well if there was a better final 3.

I was going to say "But Tony won," but I have to take that back.  As much as I dislike Tony, the man was smart.  And I don't actually remember him winning many--if any--individual challenges.

[Bryce Lynch]

I am guessing 7-3 Sarah. Maybe 8-2.  

[LadyChatts]

I agree that this is likely a way to manipulate the FTC, which is what Jeff said at the start of the season.  Well, maybe not those exact words, but he said this was in response to the Kaoh Rong finale and the influence of jurors at Ponderosa.  How this helps, I don't know.  It just seems like a way for him to meddle.

Historically, Andrea votes for the person she's mad at but outplayed her.

[Haleth]

I wonder if that was edited like normal TCs that go on for hours.  I wonder if there was more that we didn't get to see.

True. This is a lot easier for Jeff to manipulate than the standard FTC format. 

But you could make the argument that Jeff could  manipulate them at every tribal council, not just this one.  He could be influencing the outcome a lot sooner than here.  It would just mean more here.

[LadyChatts]

I love Michaela.  She said anyone not voting for her is a bitter betty.

Ozzy voted Brad.

Zeke for Sarah.

Debbie for Brad.

No more votes seen.

Edited May 25, 2017 by LadyChatts

[cooksdelight]

I love Michaela. She gets it. Vote for who played the best game, whether they voted you out or not. Don't be a Bitter Betty!

[Daisy]

Shut up ozzy. 
 

I really want Michala to play again. 

[Lantern7]

Brad is a good guy. Stockholm Syndrome much, Debbie?

[enlightenedbum]

Everyone votes to validate themselves and the story they want to tell.

[wallflower75]

Did Debbie just call Brad a "good guy"????  SHUT UP DEBBIE!!!

[cooksdelight]

@LadyChatts, you owe me a Coke! We posted almost identically at the same time! :)

[mojoween]

Debbie's parchment said Brad but she said "good guys finish first" and those two things are not AT ALL equal.

[LadyChatts]

At the start of the MvsGX, Probst gave an interview where he said that they were doing something different with the jury for this season.  During KR, there was controversy that Scot and Jason bullied people at Ponderosa to vote for Michele, and that was the cause of Aubry's demise.

[PaperTree]

No Grand Entrance?

Have to define what good gameplay is though.  By this standard Hantz should have won, but he played an awful game, twice.

[truthaboutluv]

Didn't realize live discussion was happening. Shut up Ozzy. The fact that Debbie agrees with you is all the proof that you're wrong in your stumping for Brad. I love how Troyzan saw the writing on the wall and didn't even bother with a final plea because he knew that wasn't happening. I sort of checked out of the season in the last two episodes so it would be fitting if Brad wins this. But Sarah deserves to win this season, in my opinion. 

[Bryce Lynch]

Just now, Daisy said:

I really want Michala to play again. 

I also want to see her on Amazing Race, which is what she applied for.

[vb68]

I can';t roll my eyes hard enough at Debbie calling Brad a good man. 

[mojoween]

Troyzan cleans up nice!  And Sarah looks so pretty when she can look like a normal human.

[LadyChatts]

And now we have to hear about the concept of game changers again.

Brad looks miserable.  Not digging the 'stache.  Sarah looks nervous, and Troy looks happy because he knows he ain't winning.
