S37.E13: Finale LIVE CHAT

[RandomWatcher]

Mike has this.

[PaperTree]

Kara is over blowing this.

Nah, TPTB soaked her tinder.

UGH I knew that practice scene was a fake-out.

Don't see Alec.

Alec was banned from the reunion for breaking the NDA agreement.  He posted photos with Kara the day after they got home after being told not to, and then posted a caption on a pic that said 'F*** It'.  

[Lamb18]

I wish a strong wind would suddenly blast through there and blow out Mike's fire.

We knew Alec wasn’t going to be there. 

[Straycat80]

Oh no, Kara choking on the fire making. And Mike makes F3. Please, Nick for the win! 

[LadyChatts]

This fire making challenge has led to underwhelming finales and winners.  If Mike wins he'll be one of them.

I can't wait to see Angelina get hammered at the FTC.

[Lantern7]

Congratulations to Mike White. He joins Natalie Anderson as ex-Racers making it to Day 39. Even wilder, those two (along with Nadia) competed in the same seasons.

Seriously, though, Nick has this, right?

I actually give him credit for this--he's giving them a sporting chance by letting them know who he's choosing and giving them a chance to work on their fire-making skills.

And that helps him how?  That only hurts him.  It makes zero sense to do this.  Why would he give Mike any chance to practice.  Utterly ridiculous.

I really, really hate that the Final 3 is decided by fire.  Awful.

OK good.  I thought Kara had  a chance to win it.

[Lamb18]

I read the posts about Alec, but I was still kind of hoping he would be there so I looked for him.

He better but I'm scared Mike might squeak it out.  His edit has been crappy but also very game centered this episode.  Nick might lose due to some bitterness (which, if these people are all about gameplay, kinda hypocritical of them to be bitter over that).

I hope Kara gets an invite back.  I really liked her and think she does have a solid game player in there.

OK jury.   Carl Gabby Christian Davie  who else??

Maybe more Goliaths on the jury??

[LanceM]

If they are voting gameplay than Mike has  a very good shot to win. He has a strong end game.

[RandomWatcher]

11 minutes left. This is going to carry over into the Reunion hour isn't it?

[CraftyHazel]

Nick should’ve told Mike he was taking him to the Final Three, then “changed his mind” at TC.  Why give him any chance at all??

I seriously hate this fire-making decision.  Go back to the old ways, Survivor.

Angelina and Mike are so despicable, if Nick doesn’t win this it’s going to turn this entire season to trash.

[LadyChatts]

Davie said he would vote for whoever orchestrated his blindside, and Mike is definitely bringing that up.  I think Mike will get Alison, possibly Gabby and Christian if they are bitter at Nick.  I think Carl will vote for Nick, but up in the air with the rest.  John and Dan might go for one of the Goliaths.

When was the last time it didn’t?

[Coco88]

I could see both Nick (my choice) or Mike winning.  Angelina doesn’t stand a chance I think.  Does the jury vote for the master manipulator (Mike) or the underdog fighting his way to the top (Nick).  There is a case for both but my heart wants Nick

[wallflower75]

Yep.  I don't know why they don't give us one more episode that way we can have a full hour for the reunion.  Especially this season, when the cast has actually got a lot of very interesting people in it.  Anyone want to guess how many we'll get to hear from at the reunion--and how much nonsense will go on that keeps us from getting to hear from some of them we want to hear from?

[Lantern7]

“Mike White: He Wasn’t Angelina. That’s Something, Right?”

[LadyChatts]

It has the last couple of seasons.  The actual reunion probably won't even start until around 10:20 or 10:30 if past seasons are any indication.

[Lamb18]

Gosh I hope Nick wins.

[MissEwa]

@RandomWatcher the TV guide where I am puts the reunion starting at 18 past the hour. 

The music changed for Mike's big speech. I'm worried. 

[LadyChatts]

Okay, all cleaned up and Kara still doesn't look much different than she did when she was voted off.  How did she stay so clean?

Jeff, just shut up so either I can celebrate or fly into a rage, depending on how this goes.  The jury's questioning will no doubt give it away.

Mike is just terrible.  Hated him on TAR, hate him here.

Kara looks good with her hair down.

[ProfCrash]

Caught up darn it.

The Reunion ends up happening during the show now with the in game interviews. I saw that Davie had one, but I skipped over it. Did Probst interupt more then that?

[brilliantbreakfast]

If Angelina wins this thing, the entire season will be ruined.  Smart gameplay is one thing, but taking such glee in outright cruelty should not be rewarded.

The only other time was he asked Zeke of all people, who was in the audience, what he thought of Angelina's fake idol play.

Which, really, that was much ado about nothing to begin with.

Edited December 20, 2018 by LadyChatts

[Lamb18]

Trying to think, are there more Goliaths or Davids on the jury? The vote might just go along original tribal lines. The underdog Davids might just want their tribe-mate to win.

David: Elizabeth, Carl, Gabby, Christian, Davie

Goliath: John, Alison, Kara, ...

Is that it or am I missing someone?

What did she do that was cruel?

Are we gonna take bets how many times Angelina brings up the rice?

I will feel the same way if Mike wins.  And I have this terrible feeling that that's exactly what's going to happen.  This seems like the kind of jury that both sides appreciate good game play--so it's a question of who's going to convince them that they were the better player, Mike or Nick.

Or Angelina.  (Because you never know.)

[Lamb18]

After all, why would Elizabeth, Gabby or Christian vote for Mike or Angelina over Nick?

I've got my alcoholic beverage at the ready.  Two drinks for every time she does it...

I don't know about Elizabeth, but Gabby might be bitter.  I'd like to think Christian wouldn't.

[dizzyd]

The live show doesn't start till 10:18, but this thread closes in 1 minute. Why?

I would have told them I was taking Mike so he wouldnt work on fire but then Id really take Angelina
