S36.E14: LIVE DISCUSSION: It is Game Time Kids

[Whimsy]

Quote

Castaways try to navigate their way to immunity when facing the biggest maze in the history for the game, and a fire-making challenge could change one person's fate. After 39 days, one castaway will take home the $1 million dollar prize and the title of sole Survivor

Here is your topic to have a live discussion while the finale is discussed. 

[Whimsy]

I know it seems really stupid- but the winner is announced on the reunion show, not in this episode.  Not everyone has a chance to watch the reunion immediately after the airing.  If you discuss the results, you are in spoiler territory.  You have to take discussion of the vote tally and winner/loser there. 

[Lantern7]

Anybody want to guess the percentage of paid fans in the crowd? I’m thinking 40.

[LadyChatts]

I didn't even recognize anyone all cleaned up.  Except Seabass, who constantly has the vacant look in his eyes.

It should say something about how well Ghost Island has worked when they had to reuse an advantage already played in the game.

Lord I hope they spare us from Probst having inane conversations with shills in the crowd during the episode. Just show the show!

I’d like to see Donathan go out first because I’m sick of his truth bomb bullshit.

[PaperTree]

I hate this F6 race to the end.

[Straycat80]

They could really cut this last episode down to one hour. They waste so much time showing us what we’ve already watched.

Yeah, I'd rather get right to the show and save Probst for the reunion.  That's all the Probst I need.  Especially with a final 6, it just wastes time.

I much preferred when we had a final 4 in the finale.  Something made it more special.  However, I prefer a final 2 to a final 3.

I'd rather the only one left not trying to give game to Dom and Wendell stays 

[mojoween]

It’s Survivor!  I actually don’t even really care about these six chuckleheads (‘cept Laurel, still love you boo even with your questionable decision-making), I just love this damn show so much.

How many poles is Probst ready to huff tonight?

How about this: ten minutes of recap for anyone just tuning in, have the announcment around 10:05, and slate the Reunion from there.

I think Probst would get a chubby if Donathan wins. Then he can take credit for his victory after "urging" him on in the first episode.

[LadyChatts]

Oooh, Seabass wants to be a big boy and play the game.

And of course Dom/Wendell want to take Seabass out next.

Hi Jeff!

Remember folks, we can't talk about the winner in this thread even though the winner is announced in this episode. At least that's how CBS does it in its videos of past seasons on All Access.

I can see Sebastian's seashell necklace.

Yay Laurel!

[MostlyContent]

You all should have made this 'big move' several days ago.  It really seem too late now. 

[PaperTree]

Big Boy Sea Bass gonna make a move!!

[mojoween]

The words “make a big move” have lost all meaning.

I guess I’m just assuming there’s no way Dom and Wendell will go, so I want the people who annoy me out first. Which right now is only Donathan.

It’s pleasant to watch a finale where I don’t hate anyone. I can deal with whatever happens.

[LadyChatts]

They all should have made the move to get Dom/Wendell out when they had to chance.  I think Laurel is resigned to just losing to them now.

Many seasons ago.  Just like blindside.

The only one I don't want to see win is Laurel, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.  Unlike last season when I was grinding my teeth during the finale.

[vb68]

Donathan seems so clueless about the game.

[Lamb18]

Yes, Sebastian time to grow up. I didn't realize this season was really a coming of age narrative for Sebastian.

[Lantern7]

“Big stakes.” Oh, Probst. ?

ETA: Dang, Dream Team went all out with the maze.

Edited May 24, 2018 by Lantern7

[Lamb18]

Nice skull. This looks like a wicked challenge. I wonder if it's one of those blindfolded challenges.

I think she wants Wendell to win.

Crazy thing is if both lose IC and the rest teamed to blindside them they could do it 

[mojoween]

I hate mazes more than orange Cheetos, I get frustrated and flustered and would never make it out alive.  I would most likely bail and disappoint TJ Lavin.

[Lamb18]

A vertical jigsaw puzzle. That's cool. I wonder how easy it is to keep that thing together or if it will topple easily.

Go Laurel!

[MostlyContent]

Have to admit.....that's a very good looking maze! 

[LadyChatts]

Problem is, Dom/Wendell have idols and I'd have to think they'd be absolute idiots not to play them.  Isn't final 6 the last chance they have?  Donathan would probably be game, but Laurel wouldn't, and Angela is hard to predict.  I don't think she knows what she's doing most times.

This maze is pretty cool.

[Lamb18]

Maybe this will be tortoise and the hare and Donathan will overtake them all.

[Michichick]

You’re screwed, Don 

[Straycat80]

That maze is huge. I wonder how long it took to build. 

I don’t know how much that extra vote Sea Bass has would matter if Dom and Wendell play their Immunity Idols. 

[MissEwa]

I think F5 is the last one for idols? 

I like Wendell's strategy with the puzzle - wouldn't have thought it would work.

[LadyChatts]

I like Donathan.  I wish he had dumped Laurel when he had the chance to get Wendell/Dom out.

[vb68]

Probst giving shade to Donathan was pretty funny.

[Michichick]

Hahaha, Wendell remembered to call Jeff this time.

[Lantern7]

Still not digging how most non-endurance challenges end on a puzzle. Kinda slows things to a grind.

Hey, Wendall made sure to call Probst. He’s learning! ?

[LadyChatts]

Okay, that was pretty funny.

Donathan at his last bag of pieces: "I made it Jeff!"

Jeff: "The crowd roars with excitement"

Jeff: "Wendell has one piece left if he can keep his puzzle together."  Dom blows in his direction.

Good job Wendell is yelling out Probst's name!

[vb68]

Good job Wendell making sure you called Jeff!

[Lamb18]

Come on, Laurel! Back to back immunities!

Well, congratulations, Wendell! I like you, good job!

And he remembered to yell at Jeff to look at his puzzle.

[LadyChatts]

Laurel a tad bitter?  Does she not understand how this game works?

Should have voted them out when you had the chance!

Edited May 24, 2018 by LadyChatts

[mojoween]

JEFF PROBST!!

[Michichick]

How long before Laurel decides once again it’s too soon to make a move?

[LanceM]

Oh Laurel, I think we have this story from you before...

[Straycat80]

Wow, major eye roll from Laurel. And BTW Laurel you helped make Wendell and Dom this  powerful. So little too late.

Edited May 24, 2018 by Straycat80

[EllenB]

Laurel has enemies?  Huh, news to me.

[MissEwa]

No matter how pissed Laurel is I still don't believe she's going to make a move. 

Wendell's now certain for F4 (immunity this IC, idol for the next), right? 

[PaperTree]

Wendell wins and makes interesting choices.  Nice eye-roll by Laurel.  

Sea Bass has 2 votes.  He needs 2 more to try and blindside Dom. Or laurel? 

[LadyChatts]

Laurel will find some reason to not target Wendell and Dom and finally say 3rd place is better than nothing. 

[mojoween]

“Wendell takes MY enemies on reward.”  Umm.  You coulda won, you know.

[LadyChatts]

My guess is Dom plays his idol, and someone is idoled out.  Not sure if they'll really target Seabass but I'd guess it's between him or Donathan, unless Laurel really decides to make a move and it backfires.

Well at least Seabass gets blindsided on a steak dinner.  Smart thinking Wendell.
