  Speaker 1: Previously on Making the Merge. This episode is the p
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: D and Jonathan victory lap episode.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Man, let me tell you, I was giggling on my
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: couch the whole episode. Kristin and I were watching in
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: separate rims, because that's apparently what Mary all right.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: It's devastating.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: I hate that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: I hated that. In reality, I like it. Well, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: like it for the show. Let's get that. Let's get
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: that right when when the drama hits, that means making
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: the Merge get spicy, and that means those listens go up. Baby,
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: So let's just I don't know, let's let's get into it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: I guess because our victory laps over p D.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and that's why, you know, as the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: as the Making the Merge producer, I had to open
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: by highlighting how me and Jonathan were on top of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the world last week. We were just giddy, you know, right,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and talking about giggling, saying we love Survivors so much,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: talking about how this episode saved us and now we're here.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just gonna keep talking so that we don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: let Chase talk. That's actually my plan for this episode.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, So the Jonathan usual.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Hard to get away. It's hard for anybody to get
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: a work. We could have a we could have Jeff Probe. Sorry, hey,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Jeff Probes could be on this show. And Jonathan was
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: stupid like, hey, I know you know a lot about this,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: but let me get out my thing real.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, you know, I feel like I do bring
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: a unique view to the table that Jeff maybe hasn't thought.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Of, or you were just saying you would fact check
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Jeff and tell him he's wrong about something he's clearly
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: right about.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: There's there's a lot of animosity coming from Jonathan, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I think we all know why it could be because really,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: he has no reason to be here. Look, he's not
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: in the game anymore.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: You're gonna put You're gonna punch a guy while he's down.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: This is why Jonathan is down.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I'm mad at myself.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm mad at him.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This is what you wanted if you wanted the first place.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I actually missed Bondu's voice.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Look, I mean, let's I know, we could start from
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the beginning, or we could just talk about how the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Banu tattoo has just been killed.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: It's been murdered in the street. I'm devastated Chase because
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ruin your body with a banu tattoo.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Listen, guys, this episode couldn't have gone better for me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Like literally, everything that happened in this episode was just
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: a big win for the Chase.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I don't like how you said the Chase.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: The winner.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: There's a lot I don't like.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: About what you said, but mostly the fact that it
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: was a big win for you that devastated me more
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: important than.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: A big win for me. It was a huge loss
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: for Jonathan.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Huge.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Some would say this is the biggest loss I've ever
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: experienced in my life, you know, Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Job Maybe No.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You've never had a relative die I have, But.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: This hurt a little bit more.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I think, all right, all right, let's we're getting a
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: little carried away.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Let's get kicking me while I'm down.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Let's let's get me back up a little.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It is hard for me to focus because I'm just
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: like shaking from energy this whole episode. Well, first of all,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: let's just talk about that great episode, right.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, let's talk about the fact we
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: just finished watching this episode, so we're all like, we're
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: on that Survivor buzz. It's fresh, like we just wrapped
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: it up less than an hour ago, so we're still
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: feeling it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's why Chase is super excited, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: then me and Jonathan are very bummed even though we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: can acknowledge it was a great episode of Survivor.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Chase, it that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: We have this like built up bitterness towards each other
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: where we when we don't get to release it, it
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: comes out in like a fury.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: At the top of an episode.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of sexual tension there.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Some might say it's one way sexual tensions.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, I think it's cute, so I
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: allow it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, I freaking hate you so much.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just start from the beginning of the episode.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But at the beginning, it was Jeff doing a monologue
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and he went through every individual player and I thought
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that was really cool.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: That was sick.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was my favorite intro that I've seen in
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: pretty much any of the finales that I can recall,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: because it felt like he just he gave a very
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: intense way for you to remember what each person was
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: bringing to the table. And I just I told christ
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: and I was like, why haven't I seen something like
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: this before. Because this just made me so hyped for
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the rest of this episode.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I guess what we could do because I mean, instead
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: of because this was a long episode, instead of us
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: going through each part of the episode, let's just talk
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: about the big moments that affected our survivor draft a
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: whole lot. So like, right off the bat, we get
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the backlash from last week with Operation Italy. Right, yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: we lost Caroline. That leaves us with Genevieve, Andy, Sam, Teeny,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Sue and Rachel. We have our final six and that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: how this episode begins, before we go into the first challenge.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And then Teddy immediately wants to flip that was yes,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like the first event of this episode.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Rachel just like commando style, slithering through the woods to
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: listen to them discussing the stuff right at the top,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: whereas like Rachel's just into shrubs listening as Teeny acts
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: cool with it and Rachel just collects information. I like
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: that they emphasize how dark it was, so that they're
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: just kind of addressing the elephant in the room where
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: they're like, yeah, I know there's cameras and lights, but
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: it's infrared. This is how dark it actually is, so
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: she's not gonna be seen and that made it that
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: kind of grounded it a little bit more too, to
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: make you realize how uh how smart she was. Rachel's
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: smart dude.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, Rachel was a baller.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, was that it was a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: ball or move for her to you know, to style, Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: very tony style.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That is very tony. Yeah, it was very tony.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: But basically, Rachel gets all the information she needs. She
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: learns exactly what happened last week with Operation Italy. Then
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: she she finds out about the idol that Genevieve claims
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to have. Now she still thinks it's a real idol.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: At this point, learns all about Andy flipping, and then
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: hears Teeny actively trying to flip sides. And this is
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: all of the information that Rachel needs for the rest
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: of the episode. For the next two tribals, Rachel uses
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: this information to essentially just blood up the game. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: take it. She is.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Rachel is waltzing to the finish line. Oh yeah, an
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: immaculate game at this point.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: I really I guess Rachel like really blossomed as a
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: player when she was under pressure for the last several
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: episodes where it felt like, at the beginning of the season,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: if you had been like I put Rachel on my team,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I would have been like, who's Rachel? And maybe that
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: was the best play that she could have done, is
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: be like, I don't even know who that is. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: then gradually you just see her building this game and
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: gaining advantages and just slowly taking over stuff.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: It all started. If we go back a few weeks
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: to when she was at the bottom of the y,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: they did that weird double jury thing elimination where like
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: half of the merged tribe was safe and the other
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: half had to go tribal or whatever, and Soul saved
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: her with the advantage. Ever since that moment, it was
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: like she knew. It was like she knew she was
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: given an extra life. She would have been going home,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and she was like, I'm not gonna waste it. The
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: next week she was at the bottom and she turned
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it around. That we got to that she was at
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the bottom and turned it around and next thing you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: she's at the.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Top of the tribe, but well, she's at the top,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: but this episode she's at the top, and nobody knows
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: she's at the top. That's the play that was so good,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: and we're skipping so much by talking that way.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: But the challenge, yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You just did it, and then she shut up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Stop talking so early about this stuff.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: So after Rachel learns all the information she needs by
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: sneaking in the middle of the night, we can skip
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a little bit to the first challenge of the episode.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Or we could talk about Sue and well, yeah, you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just want to skip over the last player I have.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You want to deny me of my moment with my
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: glistening contour dirt queen.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: We don't know that she's your last player at this
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: point in episode.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you're listening to a podcast about Survivor about
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the episode, you watched the episode, I think that's a given.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Or you're consuming Survivor in the strangest way possible. Yes,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: the only options.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Well, we talk about Sue a little bit, all right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So Sue was at the bottom. You know, she lost
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: her number one after losing her other number one, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: she's just digging at you know, as we found out
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: last week from Caroline that Sue just loves to dig.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So Sue is digging and then Rachel comes up and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: she's like Sue dig no longer for I have the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: idol that you searched for.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: And she knelt it worshiped dude. It was It was
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: kind of kit offul. I will say that that was
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: also very bonu energy of Sue, where it felt like
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: she was reaching that level of desperation where she's like
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: digging around the well beaten, like there's something here for me.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I know that I can find something.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: This can't be where my road ends.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You know, it was very bond I don't think it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was really bonu because she wasn't crying.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: That's true, and yelling to God.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Well, she was crying though. She cried when she found
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: out Rachel had the idol. Did you pick up on that? No?
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Probably not. So she cried when she saw Rachel had
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: the idol.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: She's very happy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the challenge.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, you don't want to talk about Andy first, I'm
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: just going to do what you did to me.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: I love that we've now had like four different situations
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: where it's like, hey, let's talk about the challenge.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: What you don't want to talk about Rachel? Well, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: was talking up. I was talking about the thing that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: happened before the challenge. But I think now that we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: talked about that we should go to the next scene,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: which would be the challenge.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I thought, you didn't even take notes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I took some notes.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, well then I'll pick my foot off
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the gas and let you lead.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: The Wady's version of no notes is still more notes
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: than me, so that's like I feel like he has them.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: My next note. The next note I had was immunity challenge.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Genevieve wins.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was big for me.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: I felt great in that moment that I was feeling scared.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Feeling because in my dreams, right is Genevieve just one immunity,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: which means she has this fake idol that if people
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: are convinced as Reel in the next vote, then the
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Chase is going to be like right on his way
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: to the parking lot of the tattoo parlor and I
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: will be seeing him there.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking, Just as a reminder for
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: everybody in case you haven't been around since the beginning.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: In our draft episode where we drafted the players, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: thought that when Jonathan drafted Genevieve, it was so laughable
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: that I made a bet saying that if she made
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: it even to the final three, that I would get
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a tattoo of their choice, and they chose a Bondu tattoo. Yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: and I will admit I was wrong, like she ended up.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't think we would remember her name. I didn't
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: think she'd make it two weeks.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I was right there with you. I said it'd be
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: impossible for her to make the final three, and then she.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she was.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: My number one pick, and in reality she ended up
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: being my actual number one.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Your last person standing.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I I feel like the accuracy of what
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I was aiming for was like it was in the
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: right zone, but it just just didn't pan out.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: It just didn't work.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: She played She played it a little too uh, a
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: little too weird, I think.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Kishan.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Literally Kishan is the reason why Chase doesn't have to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: get a bondoo tattoo.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I drafted Kishan.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another w for Chase. Gosh when everything coming off, Chase,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: uh stop all right. So the next scene is Teeny
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: gets drunk because Genevieve gets to take two people to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the secuary.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is like the third or fourth time I
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: feel like I've seen Teeny absolutely blasters.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so Genevieve's likes Sue and Teeny, which I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: referred to as a nightmare blunt rotation. Then Teeny immediately
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: gets drunk and decides to spill Genevieve's secret. But Genevieve's like, wow,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: this is working great for me because my secret is fake,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and She's like it just the further solidified that Genevieve
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: had an idol to Sue.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: That is a really good situation to find yourself in
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: where people are now spreading a rumor and a lie
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: for you that they think that you don't want them
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: to spread, because it's just it's now completely out of
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: the period.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Can we also talk about, like if it was a
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: real idol, how Teeny a media lee brought it up? Yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: like it was instant. Took once about alcohol was like, dude,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: your idol?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Dude, Yeah it was. It did seem pretty quick that
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: she just gave that up, But uh, that's because and
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: later we find out everybody has this opinion of her.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Teenie's a blabbermouth, and that was even called out in tribe.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: One of the tribals of this episode. They basically were like,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: if you want something to get out there, tell Teeny
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: and it will make it out.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: There, which was a really rude like it was a shot.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: It said that it was a shot, but like it's true.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Sue is talking about how like all of this stuff
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that Teeny and Genevieve were saying, it doesn't matter because
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I know Rachel has the idol, so like what they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: can say whatever they want. Yeah, so good on Sue.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I guess you know Sue's loyal. Sue is it's gonna
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: be my ticket to winning this game.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Can I be very frank about something. I'm glad that
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I won't have a no vote this season, because I've
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: had no votes every season of the draft. But I'm
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: just glad to know PD's gonna have the no vote this.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily not Yeah, Caroline's on that jury, we do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right. And we do not know who's gonna
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: be in the final three yet.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: If if I were playing, I would want to take
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Sue to the end because I just don't think anyway.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Let's keep moving, all right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So the next scene was Rachel, Andy, and and Sam
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the last three Goddesses on the beach. So they're on
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the beach and Rachel's really laying it up. She's crying.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, fully accepting, you know, in air quotes
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: her demise. And then Sam and Andy are just like, yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we gotta sorry, but we gotta do this.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You're such a great player.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: They really let their arrogance get to them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: And I want to explicitly talk about what Andy did,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: oh man, because and shut up. So here's the thing,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: because at this point in the episode, p D still
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: has two players left in the draft. At this point
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: in the episode, PD has two players left in the draft.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: He has Andy and he has Sue. Me and Jonathan
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: both only have one each. Kristen has two or three?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: She has two two right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she just lost Caroline, so she came into this
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: one with too.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you know, statistically p D very much has
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: the odds at this point in the episode. And so
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking Andy's making it final three. And then Andy
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: pulls Rachel aside, and Rachel's like, hey, do you want
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: to work with me? Like kind of giving him an opportunity.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: She might have even told him about the idol if
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: he wouldn't have been like this. He immediately he goes,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I mean you're gonna be on the jury. But once
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: you're on the jury, I hope that you know we
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: can still be friends, essentially blatantly being like, hey, I
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: expect your vote when I get to the final three.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It was worse than that. He was explaining. He's like,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: here's all the moves I've made, here's how I've like
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: screwed you over, and here's why I'm such a great player.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: So please like me and consider my case. And he's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: building his case to a person who has an idol.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: The thing is that, remember she kind of offered a
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: plan yeah to him, and and then he at first
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: was like I'll consider it, and he just the way
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: that he kind of communicated i'll consider it was like
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I'm in control.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was the godfather after operationally.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: Dude, just that whole his whole vibe around that was like, dude,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: you're gonna You're not playing it cool, Like.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So this is not gonna work.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Because at that point Rachel was going to use her
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: eye to eliminate Sam, but when Andy runs his mouth
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: like that, she goes, uh, maybe I'll take out Andy instead. Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: And that brings us to the tribal council.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my notes were Andy fumbles hard and then tribal.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Dude, this tribal was crazy because we all as an
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: audience know everyone's voting Rachel, and we know that Rachel
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: has an idol. No one else knows that Rachel has
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: an idol. So this tribal council is a It's very
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: similar to a lot of the tribals we've seen in
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: previous seasons, ever since the beginning of Survivor, where everyone
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: has decided who is going home, and usually those are
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: the kind of episodes where it's like, do we even
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: need to vote? And everybody goes no, and then the
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: person like gets up and leaves, like that's happened before.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Well, and they kept saying that it was that they
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: were at her funeral, like the rest of the tribe
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: was calling it her funeral all day long. Yeah, which
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: is so bad.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: It was just so air again, right, especially when I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: thought she was calling it her funeral. I don't think
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: they were going, it's your funeral, Rachel, she.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Communicated, because they were maybe not that blatantly, but they were.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: She was saying it to them some and then they
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: were like, yeah, it kind of is. And then at tribal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: They were all like, yeah, this is her funeral. Like
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: we basically were like, we're gonna lose Rachel tonight.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Like it was very Yeah, they were a very matter
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: of fact. But you've played the best game and you
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: have to go, which would have been great, wouldn't have
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: had any blowback if she didn't have a secret idol.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: An absolute ball or move from she plays the idol
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: And now everyone on that jury sat there and listened
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: to each person talk about, sorry, Rachel, it's your time
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: to go. You've had the best game, you have one challenges,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: you've played these moves, you're the best player sitting here,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: so you're going home. And then she stays and everybody
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: on the jury is losing their mind for Rachel.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Do you remember what she said because it's such a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: baller quote.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: It was the dude, the quote of the whole.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Episode was the whole season.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Jeff being like, does anybody have an advantage or hidden
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: immunity idol? And she's like, the best part about having
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: your funeral is knowing you're gonna wake up the next morning.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and then she just like plays the idol
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: And as soon as she says that, you I saw
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Sam's face like drop because he thought he was going home.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Which sure, and I was praying that he was going
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: home at that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Point he too, Dude. What I thought was so funny
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: is the second she put of the idol, Everyone's sitting
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: there teeny g Genevieve. Everyone was like, whoa, this is awesome,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: except for Sam. Sam was like, oh no.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Dude, he thought he was the one. He definitely thought
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: thought he was.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I thought I was really hoping so but nope. It
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: turns out that my Andy, who I've been on an
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: incredible journey with, he thrust it too close to the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: sun and that's it for his game. And I look,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I'm upset, I'm disappointed, but above all else, I'm so
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: proud of Andy and and how much he turned his
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: game around and the moves that he pulled off while
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: being doubted the whole time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we should take a second since PD
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: has officially lost Andy tonight, and let's talk about the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: last time that PD lost someone like this, and that
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: was with Bonu.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I think Charlie.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: No, Charlie was devastating.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Andy played a game that Bonu could only hope and
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: dream of play.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I said last week that Andy was what
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I dreamed of Banu being. I really had this vision
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of like, what if Bonu just you know, does a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: one to eighty, then it's and then he has such
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a good case to win the game. That's exactly what
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Andy did, just without cursing God for putting him on spop.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: He just didn't have the calculating part of his personality.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: That's the thing that saved Andy for So let's.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Take a moment and and just give a round of
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: applause to Andy for making it to the final six.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm oh, I'm trying to close.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to Yeah, I'm I'm Andy went from someone
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: that I thought, man, like, how is he getting drug
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: along this whole time, to then gradually being like, well,
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Andy's flipping but at the right times. And then with
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: the last episode, I was like, Andy's playing hard and
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: he's really turned it around. And that's what I think
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: really sucks about his loss is that you feel like
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: he fought so hard to get back up only to
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: then ultimately ruin it for himself because he just it
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: went to his head too quick.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: He like felt too safe, too.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Fast, And so yeah, Andy, I'm sad. To see him go,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: But you know, he played hard. He played a hard game.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was responsible for last Week being one of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the most entertaining episodes of the New era, maybe of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Survivor history, and just the the laughs that he gave
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: us during challenges too. I mean, Andy, he was. I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: think he's definitely in contention for making the Merge MVP,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: like of the TikTok Oh.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's definitely. I feel like this
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: season there has been a whole crew of people that
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: are like stand out players compared to like the most
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: recent seasons.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, Yeah, definitely, there's no ceafu. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: don't know why I just threw a straight at sea.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Would There's people pre Merge this season that are very memorable.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rome, especially like Ti pre Merge.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Somehow, Rome feels like it was a year ago. That's
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: that's the thing is. I feel like that was an
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: eternity ago, but it was only a few weeks ago.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: So after after Andy gets voted out our draft wise,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I still have Rachel Inn as my only player. Jonathan
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: has Genevieve as his only player. P D is now
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: down to just Sue.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Which I immediately texted PD and said you could still win
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: with Sue, to which Chase replied with a lot of laughter,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: as if that's not true.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Chase, like, I disliked it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you did dislike it. I really showed me, which.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Is after going on Sue's Twitter. You know, I can't
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: root for her.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: The sunami is rising, you know, mother quake brother. I mean,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: let's talk about that for a second. Do any of
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: us think that Sue has the slightest chance of winning
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: this game.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I think she has a chance of getting one vote. Yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and that would be Caroline. But Caroline's a smart person.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: If Sue and Rachel are there, I think Caroline's going
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to make the right decision and go with Rachel.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing that here's the silver lining over
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: on Team PD. Here's the one cope that I can
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: cling on to. If Sue makes it to the finals,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that will be four straight drafts of me having a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: player in the finals.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're kind of killing it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I have never had a player in the final three.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: So if, and this is still a big if, Rachel
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: might not make the final three. If Rachel makes Final three,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: this will be a huge season for me.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: All around.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and trophy, you get the jack. This
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is the first podcast version of this draft. So it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: really I'm worried. I'm worried because there's there's a huge
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: part of me that wants Rachel to win, right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: However, I don't want Rachel to win because then that
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: would mean I'm the only Jody Newell player to not
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: have a win under my belt. Yeah, and that would
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: be I don't know if I can take that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Just a quick thing. I don't think we've talked about
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Jody newall much at all. Maybe if ever, So here's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a quick summary we talked.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: About maybe at the top of the season.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But just for all the new people who have come
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: on board, I ordered a trophy for this draft. The
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: trophy they sent me was addressed to Jody Newell, so
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: we started calling it the Jody Newle Survivor for.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: A chili cookoff at a bank.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: It's a classic mix up that has now permanently named
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: our our draft league or whatever.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I could return this and get
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: my ten dollars back, or we could name the entire
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: draft after this person.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, and we made the right call.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I agree, I think so.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So Chase is in the pole position to win the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Jody Cup. But the next scene that we got was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: is Genevieve and Rachel and they're just like openly like, no,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I want to get you out, No, I want to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: get you out.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Like I hated that, dude. Yeah, oh my word, it
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: is terrible. I hated that whole scene because I was like, guys, not,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: this is going to only annoy the other players around you.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: And which it did.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: It annoyed me.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: It made them so mad. It made me upset that
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Genevieve was still there and she's my player.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome. Okay, but I mean, but
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: let's be honest though, But let's be honest. Though it
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: is it was true they are the only two like
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: big players left at that point in the game. The
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: other thing, we're sitting there like bad decisions. We're still here,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: we still are just as capable of winning. No, you're not.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I think Sam has a good underdog story though.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, but.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: He'd have the jury votes dog. The only way that
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Sam can win in the final three is if he's
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: in the final three with Sue.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And teeny teeny Yeah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but even then I kind of feel like, I
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: feel like Teeny would give.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Him a run for his money.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, because or maybe the at that point, honestly, Yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: we were left with kind of these these interesting characters
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: sprinkled in where their gameplay is not very predictable and
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: it's very open in many ways.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: So we go to the Immunity challenge, and the challenge is, uh,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you have to stand on this board that makes your
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: legs shakes. You're trying to balance, and then they're stacking
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: these balls and then this circular thing on top of
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the ball, and then you have to get like six
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: or seven of them.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: It was six.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they I mean, they all struggled, and I
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: wish they had put a clock up to show how long.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: They did this challenge.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: That's the one thing I wanted, because they didn't show
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: how long they were standing and trying this challenge.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: But they all failed numerous times.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At Genevieve was so close to yeah, kind of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: even Rachel the only two that even came for Yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And that was the way it was. In the first challenge.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: It was Genevieve has got way ahead in that puzzle,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and then Rachel was trailing her. But Genevieve did a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: lot better in that first challenge. She really crumbled during
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the stretch, and then Rachel just like with the stone face,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like taking her time at the end. It was I
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: hate how much I like Rachel. I think that's what
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I'm struggling with right now.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Not your good player. And it's one of these things
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: we don't see this often in Survivor seasons, but when
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: you do, and we've seen it several times this season
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: with Saul as well, just everyone like it was a
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: super likable person that everyone seems to lie.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I'll drop the stick now of hating Chase
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and Rachel. Rachel's awesome. Yeah, gotta admit it, and so
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is Chase. Rachel is awesome.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for this?
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I I think you've got the win in the bag.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Chase, because we were talking, we were talking earlier in
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: this podcast where how you know, Jonathan said that he
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: hopes I don't win because then he'll be the only
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: one that hasn't won. Yeah, I'm me and Pete started
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: this thing, just the two of us.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's true, just the two of us.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Nice pe d.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched pretty much every single season of survivor.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: If you, Kristen already got a win before me, If
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: you also got a win before me, I would lose
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: my mind.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I do feel like you deserve a win more than me. Yeah,
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: because this this season I had math on my side
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: where I was like, how can I look at statistics?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Just like Andy?
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: And I went the Andy route, And you know what,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: just like Andy, I got really dang close to the finale.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Just like Andy, you went out in this episode because
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of your decisions.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: That's true. It's true. I let my arrogance of last episode.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Last episode, I got too arrogant, and then now I'm
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: crashing out.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about how you know Sam is nervous and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: his only play left in the game is to flip
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: on Genevieve after flipping with Genevieve in the previous episode.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And it worked in the sense it got Teeny to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: believe that the idol was fake. But the problem was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: it was Teeny who believed it, and so nobody else
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: believed Teeny because they showed an entire montage of Teeny
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: being gullibles.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: It's a great edit, a phenomenal edit of just all
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: of her blunders in.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Weird scenarios and things that she thought.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Were going on and they weren't, and so her credibility
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: for the rest of the tribe was so low with this.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to say, leave Teeny alone first
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: of all, because Teeny is not Liz Wilcox. We have
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to find that out Therepee. A lot of people were
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: comparing Teeny to Liz and that is just ridiculous.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Well, they compared her crash out to Liz and I'm like, okay, yes,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Teeny was upset, but like, we didn't get Applebee's level
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: screaming no from Teeny by any means, not even close.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Seenie in the middle of it dropped a bangor impression
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: of Sam, which Liz Wilcox could never do. Yeah, well
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: if she did. If Liz did an impression a Q,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: it'd be problematic.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Probably she was just like, I'm the best real estate
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: agent in the war.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: She's like, big mistake.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm defending Teeny now, after you know, lightly
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: ribbing Teenye in the previous episode.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people got a little too mad.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, people being people being you, Jonathan.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: What what do you get in our group chat?
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: You were furious about TV.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Look, I'm furious at Teenie's gameplay. I'm furious about lantics. Look,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: I don't I'm fine with Teeny. If I see Teenie
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: in the streets, I've gotten no beef with her, right, Like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: we're cool. I mean, unless she listened to this podcast,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: then she might be mad at me.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know, or if.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: She looked at our TikTok comments section. But here we
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are on the podcast saying leave Teeny alone. Teenie's cool.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Teeny just you know, had a moment. Yeah, and we've
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: had like twelve of those on this podcast.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this whole episode started with Chase and
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: I basically assaulting each other verbally for five minutes.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: You know I didn't.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't do that, and I'll do my best
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to make sure it's thirty seconds instead of five minutes.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: So you're welcome.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, cool, But.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to cut down on the run time
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: where I can. But so, yeah, we get that montage
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and then Teenie tries to go tell Caroline. I mean,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Caroline's not in the game anymore. Teeny tries to go
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: tell Sue and Rachel that the idols fake and they're
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: not buying it because all Teeny has done has been
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: lied to and believed it, so why would you believe
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it from Teeny? But Genevieve has been such a great
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: liar that they didn't want to believe that either, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they're like, you know, Genevieve and Sam, this could be
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: another elaborate plot when really it was the first time
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they were telling the truth.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Operation Italy really threw through everybody, And that
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: was my one glimmer of hope of Genevieve surviving this
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: episode was that the distrust level was so severe for
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: her that they would go with Sam. But it was
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: just funny to watch Teeny really really try to convince
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: everybody and everyone be like, I don't know if you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: like correct.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: The whole time.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Was that it was that like our last scene before
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the second tribal pretty much.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: So going into the second tribal, Sue has has to
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: play her immunity idol. This is her last chance to
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: use her immunity idol. So we all knew as an
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: audience going in Sue is safe. We also know Rachel
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: is safe because she won the immunity necklace. So I'm
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: going into final tribal and I'm like, dude, no matter what,
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: like this is great for me. The only thing that
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: is up in the air for me and I was
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: stressing about, was if Genevieve makes it through this tribal,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: then she'll be going, you know, to fire if you know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: if she doesn't win. So it's like it's really up
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: to this moment here to whether I get a bond
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: new tattoo or not.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: And so I was when when the votes started getting
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: looked at, I stood up from my couch and like
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: stood next to my TV. It was like I was
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: watching a really intense sporting moment, but I was watching
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: a man read names aft cards.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: They before Jeff even started counting the votes, Like I
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: was doing the math in my head because I was like, Okay,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Genevieve is going to vote Sam to try to save herself.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Teeny is probably going to switch and vote Genevieve. Sam
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: is voting Genevieve, And then I was like, Rachel and
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Sue are both voting Sam. So I was really sure
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: that Sam was going to go home.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: See, I thought that Teeny was going to vote Sam
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: for because I thought that she was going to like
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: chicken out because at one point they.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Showed her at the.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Card and she was like, I don't know, and when
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: she said that, I thought, oh, she might flip.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Right now, Rachel, Yeah, because the plan was for her
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: originally to vote for Sam. But then remember she leaned
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: over to Rachel and was like, should we vote Genevieve.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Rachel thought the idol was real. Yeah, so they didn't
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: want to vote for Genevieve because they were like, she'll
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: play her idol and then whoever Genevieve voted for goes home. Yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: so she was The plan was for them all to
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: vote Sam, and then teeny I knew was flipping to Genevieve.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Which is devastating.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: I was so shocked when Genevieve went home.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Dude, I I felt sure that Sam was going to
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: go home. But I was again standing watching the television
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: and uh, you know, whoa this this music.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: That's just been a sound effect on there was just
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: It really did work.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: When Genevieve's name got read out and it was official
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: that Genevieve was going home, there was a lot of
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: feelings tied into all of this. Right, that's Jonathan's last player,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: So Jonathan is officially out of the draft for this season. Yeah,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: PD and Jonathan, are rooting for me to have to
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: get a bono tattoo.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Me, Jonathan, Kristen and everyone who listens to the show
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: was rooting for you to get a bonoo tattoo.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I had more than anyone at stake in this because, first.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Of all, he made the bet when we had no audience.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. We had like six people listen to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: an episode. And You're like, I'm gonna make a bet
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that I will have to have permanent ramifications for.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Hey, well yeah, and here's the thing. I was good, like,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I'm I was, We're gonna do it. And here's the thing.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: I was kind of if I could be honest, like
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to, but I was kind of looking
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: forward to it because I thought that would just be
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: so ridiculous. My wife has been furious with me since
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: I made the bet. She was like, why would you
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: do that? But she was like, she was like, why
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: would you even make that bet? And I was like,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: because I'm a showman, Yeah, I know how to entertain
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: the people. And can we just talk about for a
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: moment how in the first episode I make the wildest
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: outrageous accusation Genevieve won't make it to the final three.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: She makes it to the final five.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Literally, yeah, she was one episode, one vote away from
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: being in the finale.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Which hurts terribly.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah for me, it is I the emotions I felt
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: seeing her name pop up on that last card. I mean,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: there was the realization of oh no, my player's going home.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Then it was the wave of oh no, that was
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: my last player. Then it was a wave of oh no,
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Chase isn't getting the tattoo.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: And don't really have nothing to look forward to it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I actually Jonathan and we had decided this a few
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: days ago during the off season. Jonathan is now tasked
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: with writing a recap of Elsbeth. Yeah, we come on
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: here and recite to us.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you listened to the episodes you
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: weren't on again, Chase, I heard it, Okay, Yeah, it's
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: it's a real thing. So I am willing to do it.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: I'll watch Elsbeth and suffer through it.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Poor thing. Chase too.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: And look, I can't.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: I can't erase the memory of Elsbeth from me. So
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's kind of on par with getting
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: a tattoo. It's like a permanent thing. Watch me get hooked. Honestly,
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: watch me watch one episode and like, I gotta watch
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: Elsbeth tonight.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: I have no disdain for Elsbeth. That is a purely
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: PD bit since day one.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Here's here's the thing.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: The disdain I have for Elsbeth is that they advertise
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: it like a Disney Channel show at the bottom of
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: the screen every thirty.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: And there was that one time where she pointed at
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Jeff's crotch.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, baller, dude, you know what, You're right, I'm excited
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: to watch else.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So before we get to the end of this episode,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: I think we need to point out kind of the
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: elephant in the room, mostly because Kristin isn't here, so
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: we haven't brought her up. But she has two players
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: still lapped on her team going into the final episode,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: and that's Sam and team.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: And that's the same as it was last season. By
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: the way, she had two players going into the.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Finale, yeah, when everybody else had one, well except for me,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: I didn't make it to the finale.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm feeling very chaste like this season.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: You know, Kristin she did text us. I was trying
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: to find that. She said, y'all better mention how I've
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: got two out of five of the final players, just
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: like last season, or two out of four now, yeah,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: so two out of four. But the problem is they
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: don't matter and they're not going to win, so it's
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: nice that you have them, Kristin.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, can we can we talk about that for
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: a second?
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: What is the final three? Do you guys think is
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: the final three?
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Rachel, Sue and Teeny are the final three?
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Really? Because I mean the final three is decided by
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: the fire making child.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's true. So it's it's really unpredictable. But
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: who goes into fire then Sam, let's do it like this, Who's.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Who's most likely to win the challenge next week? I
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: think it's between Rachel and Sam to win the challenge
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: unless Sam.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: Sam needs to win the immunity if he wants a shot,
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: and he needs to put Rachel making fire if he
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: even wants to win.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: But that's the truth. They've talked several times about how
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: Rachel's really good at making fire. So if you put
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: Rachel in the fire making Challenge, I think she's making
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: it final three either way.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, which then just gives her another notch in the belt, right,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: like just another another thing.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I really do think that case.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: I've been mean to you this season, but I think
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: you have the winner. I really do. I think you're
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: gonna take the win, and I think you made a
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: great choice.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: That's all I think I've been saying for the past
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: five weeks. Rachel or Andy, it's Rachel or Andy, and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Andy's chances Well, I was about to say his chances
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: to win they did, you know, get greatly lessened in
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: this episode. But maybe maybe there's a little bit of
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: hope for me still.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're gonna all.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Be devastated if Rachel goes hold decks, because then it's
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: a it's a Sam victory.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Right, Maybe Sue could win it out over Oh my.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Gosh, dude, if I I would be so in. I
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: would hate myself if I won with If p D.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Won again for the what is this that this would
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: be your third win? Yeah? If p D won a
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: third season with Sue with an out of.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Pocket pick, yeah like it.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: I just I don't think Sue cant when unless Rachel
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: is gone.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: She's tweets here's the thing, she's won immunities. Yeah, she
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: had an immunity idol that she found.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: She was fiercely loyal.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: Fiercely loyal to people on the jury. So if Rachel
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: goes home and Sue's in the final three, then Rachel
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: might vote for Sue.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Another point to that Kyle in his exit press, Kyle
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: had no idea about the beef with Sue, so in
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Kyle's mind, they were allies. So Kyle could vote for Sue.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: Which is just weird to think about that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: That whole beef is just like, is he gonna find it?
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like he never.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I have no clue that Jonathan had so much animosity
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: against me.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know I had so much animosity.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just mad at chaste. He doesn't have to get
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the bond new tattoo.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: I'm momentary true caused.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: I learned a lesson a hard wing.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: Do you know, five seconds off my honesty ruined my game?
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: And that's all for Bonnet.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Five seconds of honesty ruined Bonu's game. Five hours of
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: honesty from Andy ruined his this episode.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: So would you guys like to wrap it up with
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the most unhinged Jeff quote of all time?
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do it.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely I hyped this up last week. This is It's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a great episode to bring this up on because it
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: was in response to Jeff was asked how would he
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: figure out if he was going to play his idol
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: or not? Like, if Jeff was on the island, what
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: would Jeff do? What would be Jeff's process for figuring
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: out if he was going to play an idol?
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, I wasn't a dog person.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: So this is Jeff when asked about how he would
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: figure out if he would play an idol.
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: So I think before the game started, I would try
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: to plug my gut into a metaphorical martial stack. It's
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: just a big guitar amp, and then I'd spinal tap
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: it up to eleven and the moment my gut started stirring,
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: it would hit a power chord so hard that it
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: would blast the speaker so loud that I'd hear my gut.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: And so if my gut said play the idol, I'd
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: be playing that idol. Because you have to survive each
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: day in order to get to the next and if
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: you want to win, you have to play to win.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: I don't think just a human, I don't think metaphor work.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: No, you don't understand he would plug his gut and
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: he played the gut power chord.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: And this just makes me wonder all of the stuff
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: that he says during challenges that gets cut because like
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: he just yaps in a good way the entire challenge,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: being like, oh, this is happening, this is going on
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: out of this and I'm like, there's sometimes out there
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: for like an hour and a half. What else is
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: this man saying?
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because here's the You're never gonna find a bigger
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Jeff Pros fan than me. Right, I love him absolutely.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: I will defend him to the day we die. Right
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: that being said, he has reached the age where everything
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: he says is pretty out there.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, I.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: Mean, what was between this and then the other thing
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: is a dog? It was like, I don't think he
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: understands how metaphors work because they're like, hey, Jeff, tell
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: us about what it takes to play this game. You know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Courage is a lot like dogs. You know, sometimes you
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: know they're out on the streets and they survive for
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: weeks on end, But sometimes a dog is a lap
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: dog and it stays in your house with you, and
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: it's not very brave.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: It's like Jeff.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: I feel like Jeff. I have like a I have
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: a mental connection with Jeff. But Jeff is like a
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: level ten version of what I aspired to be, which
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: is you start a sentence without admit, but then you
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: hope it ends up. Okay, you know, it's like he's
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: living my dream where it's like, wait a second, that
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: almost was making sense.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: P D asked me a question, as if you're asking
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Jeff a question.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, Jeff, if you had a feeling that everyone was
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: going to vote for you and you didn't know how
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: it was going to go, would you play your shot
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: in the dark?
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: You know, shot shot in the dark is a lot
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: like alligator's teeth. You know, you got a lot of teeth,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: and you know, if someone was gonna place their hand
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: in my mouth and I knew I had one shot
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: to chomp it down. You know, I don't know which
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: tooth I'm gonna choose, but I know I'm using a tooth.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: That's a that's solly, here's my attempt at it. You ready,
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: A shot in the dark is a lot like alligator's teeth. Wait, no,
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: that's that's a no. That's not what I meant.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, No, that that was pretty on par for you, Jonathan,
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: just taking my bit.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well here's my attempt. You see with
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the shot in the dark. You gotta play it like
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it's a metaphorical piano and you're really you're trying to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: figure out all the chords, and you might get some
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: of them wrong, but it's the fact that you tried
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: and that you're out there on Survivor, and that's how
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: you do it.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're gonna talk about also that that's how you
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: do it. Yes, Pete and I discussed this at the
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: top of the episode before Chase was here, when we
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: were having our moment of peace, and so we were
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: discussing the fact that we misquoted Jeff last episode by
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: saying he said that's how you do it.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, on the podcast. On the pod he said that's
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: why you do it. But then I said, that's how
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you do it, and I titled the episode That's how
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: you do it. But then he vindicated us this week.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, this week, during the first immunity challenge, he out
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: of nowhere says that's how you do it in the same.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Voice that we were talking about.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: Well, then I get really excited and so I come
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: and too, you know, talk to pet and say he said,
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: he said the thing that we were talking about. And
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: then that's when we realized he didn't actually say it.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: But then he said it.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: So we're okay, you've got to learn to stop your sitting. No,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: I can't, we do it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: We already knew that last part.
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: No, no, you don't understand. He said the thing that
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: we thought he didn't say.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: Hey, you're giving death indead right now. He said it.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: And you know, sometimes when you say things, it's like
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: a Christmas tree.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: You go to a farm.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: We try to find a big, tall one out there,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: the biggest, the nicest.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: Thing that you ever want to find.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: So you chop it down, take it home, decorate it
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: and make it look the best as possible so that
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: when you present it to your friends and family, they're
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: all really happy.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: And that's like survivor.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's going to get me out of here.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: Bye.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Oh that was it, Okay
