• 1:16
  Speaker 6: crown some new witness.
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: Let me give some backstory to that Jeff Opener. That
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: was a clip of him talking about the Emmys. Apparently,
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: whenever they did the first ever reality host category, all
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: of the hosts came up and they did did it
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: they were supposed to do some sort of bit, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: they didn't have any bit planned. So that was him
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: talking about not knowing what they were gonna do. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: I felt like that today because I realized we were recording.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Tonight and I didn't know what was going on.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that text to the group and I thought, hmm,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that's more of a me move. I think, yes, Jonathan movie.
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: I'm sure you guys talked about it and explained it
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: in detail last week when I was on vacation and
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: I was only half paying attention to the group chat.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Well we may we honestly may have not talked about
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it because I thought I mentioned the mergees. Well, we
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we talked about they were on their way here and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that they were categories.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: So I thought we were doing the merges tonight, what
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: we're doing right now, And in a sense, yes, we're
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: announcing the nominees right yes, yes, so.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: My understanding I thought we were.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: I thought it was already happened, like I thought we
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: are in the nominees.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I've been guys.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: No, I'm an old man, I'm not Jonathan and so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and so.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I appreciate no.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: But then I did realize I was like, I don't
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: feel like I've seen anything about it, and I feel
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: like I would have. And I know we're recording tonight,
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: and so that's where I was at.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: I was like, wow, Brand has no concept of what
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: the Mergi were. It's even our so.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: A long time listener, first time caller.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: How are we starting this?
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we could get into the awards, or we could
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: delay it a little bit longer and have Brand read
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: some banu.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, that's right.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: The guys, I gotta be honest with you. There's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: lot here tonight.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So I might have gone a little overboard miss last week.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: So yeah, so it's like his is double punishment for
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: missing last week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: All right, So again I'm reading this because I lost?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Is that that's right?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yes? That is correct?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Great, all right, here we go. I know I have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it in me. I can do this.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: So moving forward, how can I ensure my position is
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: strong within the tribe. I just don't understand why me
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: I'm giving my blood, sweat and tears to my tribe
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: and the results outcome is this? Just because I'm a
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: little emotion doesn't mean you guys vote me out. I'm
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: very nervous because Jess and I just started talking strategy,
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: and I don't think she's gonna stick to the plan
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: to blindside Kinzie.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, she did gotta be the worst.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm still on the island, so no, I'm stay to that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Are you sure you're allowed to say that?
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, guys,
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: but I could be the next person going home because
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Kensey Q and Tiffany are pulling all their master tricks.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They played.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: They played it in such a way that Jess plays
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: the fake hidden immunity idol rather than.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: The shot in the dark. And she writes a name.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Guess whose name she wrote.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Jess said that I'm her best friend and she wrote
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: my name down.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Survivor it is Bonnu starts crying.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: They're saying like, oh, you don't have to give honest
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: answers to Jeff prost that you can just give him
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: any kind of crap.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But I can't do that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: They said, you should know when to what is it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: when to show, when when to shot.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: I don't know what that proverb something folds, Ah, you have.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: To know when when to hold, when to fold.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not an actor.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: I can't do that. So yeah, that's where I'm at.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: It was raining all night. I didn't sleep a wink,
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: and I'm paranoid because.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: All three, all three of them, are in a Tide alliance.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: And if we don't when the next community challenge, I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: going home.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: They have so many tricks up their hats.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: I've been looking for the idol pretty much the whole
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: time I've been on the island.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Don't have any luck.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna turn all these coc nuts upside down.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This is so frustrating. Bonnie starts crying.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: I want to play the game, and I'm hitting a
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: wall all the time.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I gotta do the next.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Part too, I mean, are you getting a little bit
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: tired of it?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Brand? Is that what you're saying?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So much?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Feed? Let's save, Let's save the.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Other hands drafted better Chase. Actually, I figured this was
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: going to happen. I figured Brand was gonna get Bonu overloads,
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: so I brought in some backup. Mother Mary, please take
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: it away.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Always sweet Kenzie, how she portrays herself. She's like this
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: mermaid dragon up until here she's hiding under the rocks.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: She's like a very beautiful, sweet, kind mermaid. But when
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: you look behind the rock. It's a book Dragontail that kens.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: I said, Hey, can I work with you? And she's like, yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: i'll work with you, but you have to tell me
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: the plan. If you have a plan, let me know
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: and we can work on it. Mermaid Dragon remember that.
• 7:15

  Speaker 1: Hey, you just read bonu quotes. That'll show them.
• 7:54

• 7:58
  Speaker 2: experience only in Bonu quotes.

• 9:15
  Speaker 6: the person whose name we mispronounced for the first episode.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Say it's gotta.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Be saying, Yeah, it's a great nomination. I mean she's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: still a villain to Mary. Yeah, yeah, amen, Amen, she's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a she's a villain in my heart. Well see what
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: oh me? Oh okay, uh well see okay. I was
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: gonna say, say, I.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Think we all wrote down.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we all wrote down. So then I, Kristin and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I we sat and we walked through this list together
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and Kristin was like, if say said, first, we have
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to say Thomas because I said he was a villain.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, that's fine. So we're
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: going with Thomas because he was being sneaky. That's a
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: good it's a good nomin but he was gone, he
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: was going fast.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: I also wrote down Thomas as my second because he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: the only one who had a literally a villain.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Laugh at one yeah, and a black guy and a
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: black guy.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But I did have a third.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Okay, let's you're worth This is a little bit of
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: a tricky one. I am going to nominate Camilla for
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: this whoa and the reason being there's a twofold reason
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: one she is and I think we would all agree
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: with this. She is the mastermind of the one and
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: only move this season.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: She is the one who on a repeated basis, what
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: would you say that, yeah, you got I think that
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: was repeatedly say how much she wants to run I
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: think there are some people left on the board that
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: are much better. But she would repeatedly talk about how
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: much she wants to run people over with the bus,
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: back it up, something that a villain would do.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So I will nominate Camilla.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: That's a you know what, that's an out there nomination.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: It's a solid wood consented. The other two got taken. Guys,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: my nominee for the Villain Award.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Charity, thank you. You know, because of the because of
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the Trump video, I forget.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: About her, and I forgot that because she went after
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Eva after the moment Yeah Joe and the challenge and
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: all that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people see her as a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: hero because of that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Some people do, but they see her as a hero
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: because they hate Eva, right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy. It kind of adjusted as the season
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: went and first people were like you, Charity, and then
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: by the end everyone was like, okay, maybe we maybe
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: we want her to be right. She would have spiced
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: things up. She would have been good for the season,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but still a villain, I think.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: But there was a snub here Mitch for not making.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: An I almost said, Mitch, but I thought it was
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: gonna He's just gonna get taken. I'm sure Mitchell get
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: something later. All right, So nominees for the Villain.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Awards are say, it's Charity Camilla, and what was the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: other one?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You said it already said, said Charity Thomas, Thomas. Thomas
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: was Thomas.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's Thomas.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: All right, let's move on the next category. Let's hear
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the nominees for the MVP Award. Now I do there
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: is an asterisks on this one. This is not the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: MVP the most valuable player of the season. This is
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the MVP of our show. So which player on the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: season forty eighth survivor was our most valued player?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I forgot that stipulation. I'm recalculating everything right now. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: literally reminded you not an hour and a.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Half of it at the It's literally called making the
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: merge MVP.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: So for context, last season, I believe it went to
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Andy because you got so many views on tick talk
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: well and.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Just because people loved him.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: And then the villain Award was won by Rome and
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: he was the only person nominated we did Rome four times.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: That's understandable.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was rough. Who's going first, Chase brand Let's
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: see your nominee.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: I am nominating the person who has found their way
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: around guidelines of press. Yep, you heard from her already tonight.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I'm going with Mary. Nobody has been more supportive of
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: our program, yeah than Mother Mary. She has left us
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: a nice review on Apple Podcasts. She has sent in
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: multiple recordings. Granted the first time we had to pay
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: for it, but hey, there's nothing there's nothing against that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And so I am going with Mary. I think she,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to me is not.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Only the MVP of the season, the person who I
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: enjoyed the most just watching, but also has been the
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: most supportive of our show.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So shot Mary.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Great nomination, Great nomination. That's it's such a good nomine nation.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: It's hard to think of another. You know, I've got one.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go ahead and go next. Then I'm going
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: to nominate David.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Hear me out, hear me out.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: We had some banger clips of us making fun of
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: David throughout the season.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I mean he stood up.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you want, I mean this stood up.
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: But also we had a video absolutely pop off Skyrocket
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: right at the end of the season when Brand made
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: a song that heavily featured David in the clip.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: So in a sense, you were also part of the
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: thank for I didn't want to say it, but I
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: appreciate it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: So you Mary and David would be sharing it if
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: either of them won.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Really, it's a win win win for your boy Brand here. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: for sure, Jonathan, what's your nomination? I uh, you know,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think he brought a lot to the dynamic that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: ended up being discussed in clips that went big and
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that's Joe. I'm gonna dominate Joe. And I think maybe
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it's because I got to sing Big Bro Club and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: got to be on Rob has a Podcast because of him.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But nice, you know, I just think I'm making the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: merge podcast. Shut up, Rob. I just I thought Joe
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: brought a lot to the clip world, and uh kind
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of whether it was him directly or just something that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: he had caused that other people were involved with. You know, guys,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I gotta I've come up with a nickname for Rob
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: from Rob has a Podcast.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: We should call him the Amazonian horn Dogs.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: You all you want. I don't think I'll be participating
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: a pretty pretty iconic moment from the Amazon season.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Right, yeah, yeah, anyways, I'm making the Merge MVP Award.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Hey did I say it was your making the Merge podcast. Yes,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Now it's PD's turn.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Okay, I have an important decision to make, and that
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: is I can't believe, uh, you know, Star is still
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: left out, So I have to put Star on there,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: talk about views, Star Star updates and Star walking up
• 16:11

  Speaker 6: Chrissy is speaking.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Definitely, we should we should make a new category next time,

  Speaker 2: Up making the Merge podcast.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, Our next category the Game Changer Award.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: You were nominating a moment from this season that changed
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: the game. Yeah, and we're gonna start with.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: PD Okay, I'm gonna go with Camilla convincing Joe that
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Shaheen had an idol and that he shot it to
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: her with the beads because she wasn't really believing Kyle,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: and that was really the move that flipped the game
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: in Kyle and Camilla's favor and then ultimately Kyle's favor.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: But Camilla put it in motion, so I'm gonna give
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: the nomination to her.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Nice Jonathan, let's hear yours. I'm so torn between two
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: right now because I had two options. But I find
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that Camilla giving the nod to Kyle about their move
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: in tribal is probably the biggest thing to happen in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the season because our boy wasn't gonna say anything as
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: she looked at him, and she wingmanned him right into.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: A good That's a great one, Jonathan, So brand, what's
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: your Camilla move of the season.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing Camilla.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: I'm actually there's one that is like obvious, but that's
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: not the one that I wrote down, And uh so
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: now I'm conflicted.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, the Joe even a.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Moment, is a pretty big moment. In the game of
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: the season. Like, no, no moment got as much press
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: as that moment. Even the last episode the Winner Who Cares?
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: We had that one big moment, and it kind of
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: you know, I think a lot of us at the
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: time were like, it'll be interesting to see how this
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: kind of plays out with how the rest of the
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: Survivor crew handles Joe now.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And now this is out there that jo this alliance.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go with that one though, I'm gonna.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Go I'm gonna go with milk being at the reward
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: for David.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: That's not how this award works. It was a production choice.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It's not I don't think was a huge game.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: It wasn't best moment of the show. It's a you know,
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: just trying to explain the category. I got it, Bud,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Just go with your first thing. You said, go with
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: the first thing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: You said, I like the milk ops. I will go
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: with the first one.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: This is like definitely Brand learned about what this is
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: at seven o'clock and that's that's why he went.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: They gave milk they again, or what if it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Was Eva telling Joe because she didn't have to do that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: And then the reason he was able to comfort her
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: in that moment was because she told him, Yeah, let's
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: do that. Let's do that is no, I mean whatever,
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: just one of the milk milk on there just in.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Case like this. Did you see he worked hard for
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the milk pool, you know.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: No, I think the best move made by a player
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: on the season was what they gave to David at
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: the reward too.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it makes perfect sense. Okay, my nominee,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: My nominee for the Game Change of Award. Guys, you've
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: missed a pretty big one, one of the biggest moments
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: of the season. But I think it's kind of forgotten
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: because it was early on. Mary successfully using her shop
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: totally would have changed the game. If she had gone
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: home at that point, we could have seen say or Cedric, yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: totally in the final she.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Made it to the second to last episode because of that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: So exactly, I feel like there's one moment that I
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: almost said that I feel like I'm kind of surprised
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: not enough y'all said, which is it's kind of one person,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: but Cedric having to be a single person that decided, Yeah, that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Was an insane moment and that could come up in
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a different maybe category.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe so I also was going to do uh Mitch,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: choosing to do nothing instead of making a move was
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: kind of the biggest game changing moment. But that category
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: pretty well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, guys. Our next category the Baby
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Come Back Award. This is the season forty eight player
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: that you would like to see come This is very
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: interesting this season because we will be seeing two of
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: these people come back for season fifty.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm three, so they're disqualified.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, three?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so those are they're disqualified.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear from Jonathan. Guys. I want Star back
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in the game. I want to see her. I want
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to see her actually get to play, and I want
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to see I want to see more great moments from
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: her and we get Star updates back. That's what I'm saying.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: It's good for business brand. What is your nominee?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said it during the season. I'll stand by it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I want to see Thomas play again.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: I felt like we only got to see just a
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: little bit of his game, and what we saw was
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: really fun and it's a shame.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That he got voted out as early as he did.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see Thomas back. So I'm going with Tomas.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Nice I also put Thomas down, so I'll go with
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: my backup nomination, which was Cedric. I would love to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: watch Cedric competing challenges again. It was Christa and I
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: debated hard about in this category and she was like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: why would you put him? And I was like, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: love him, Yeah, me too, because I love him, Kristen,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you don't understand. You don't understand the connection.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: I love how angry he made me during challenges.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I need it back.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: So my pick would be I would bring the milk
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: from the Reward Challenge back.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you, PETI. I had that doubt as well. No,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I would go with Mary.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised that she was the last pick in year
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: because Mary like always great and confessionals.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense. I knew someone
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: would say it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: That's why I didn't pick her because I didn't want
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: to be having to be on my toes. But yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: all great nominations and instead we'll get to see Joe
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: and Kyle and Camilla. Yeah, which I am. I'm excited
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: I'm excited to see I'm excited to see one of
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: those three. And they can't hear us right now. They
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: don't have their phones. We can talk so much trash.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Excited to see Joe Chase talk about that thing that
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Joe possibly did in that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: You can't hear you. The Big Mistake Award, the biggest
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: mistake of the season, and we're gonna.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: Start off with p D all right, the Big Mistake Award,
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: otherwise known as the Q Award. I'm gonna go with
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Star giving Eva her idol.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: She shouldn't have done. That's a big one. That's a
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: big one.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: And Charity said, no, don't do that. Go take it back,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: or even though you gave it to her, go go
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: snatch it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Jonathan, Uh, I as my big mistake, said Chrissy opening
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: her mouth. That tribal that went terribly. She decided to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: talk for what's at tribal?
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Dude, what I kind of wish she went harder at
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: final tribal too, And.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were saying you wish she went
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: harder at her own tribe.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: I wish you did that too, you know, just NonStop
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: man brand your nominee.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I know that we said that we're not nominating people.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: I'm nominating Cedric for this award because literally everything and
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: I literally thought, well, that's a big mistake, from from
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: the votes to uh what happened in that famous tribal
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: council with Mary to him participating and trying to climb
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: up walls.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: I am gonna need you to pick one because it
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: can't be three individual mistakes, and then just Cedric.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Because he really shooting you down.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: I'm just letting brand know how this works. It's his
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: first time catching him up to speed.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: You know, all right, give me one more second, let
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: me just let me, let me land he's really waking
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: up and busting your butt.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Well while we while we're waiting, I'll give my nomination.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: But he could easily pick one of the Cedric things
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: he needed a second.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna pick one of mine.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't do that. If all three, I will pull
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: you and I will shake you up. I'm gonna shake you, dude.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: My nominee for the Big Mistake Award is Camilla telling
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Kyle that she would not take him to the final three.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I think you're wrong.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know if that I think because I think
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Kyle would have come to the same I'm just saying
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I think that was already kind of they were both
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: headed that way.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Look, can we can we just address something? I feel
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: like I started this whole episode complimenting PD on his
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: camera quality, but I do want to insult his like attitude.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Quality doesn't have anything to do with the Braves being
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: under five hundred again.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Dang hmmm. I wish I knew what that meant, but
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't even know what that means.

  Speaker 2: We're going to start with brand. Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I had to think through a lot here kind of
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: moments that stuck out to me, and I think one
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: of the most memorable moments for me of the season
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: was say chasing after Mary, specifically when she says and
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: she's running. I found that need to be so funny
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: and the delivery was great. So the quote is and
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: she's running, that's what I am nominating.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: Can when we do the graphic for that one, can
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: we have the picture of Say saying it, because I
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: feel like sure Cedric was right there next year, right,
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: I think so?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, yeah, she's talking to Cedric.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, PD your nominee.
• 31:37

  Speaker 6: When she said I need someone else's name out there,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: I'm doing it right now by throwing Charity under the
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: bus and I've been reversing that bus and running her
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: over and over and over. That was the first time
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: she said the bus thing. So that's what I'm nominating.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Jonathan, your nominee. Well, I kind of had to come
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: up with a quote that stuck out, and so I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: thought what was said the most and it's we've got
• 32:03

• 32:08
  Speaker 2: of his twenty five times in the season saying that

  Speaker 7: This, I don't really know how to put that in
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: quotation marks, but you gots.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Last last flash. I just the only other quote I
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: could even think of was when it was It was
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: more a quote that Mary put on her story because
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: she thought, say said I can smell you, but she
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: said I can see you, and that just says solidified
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: its way into my brain.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I thought of one from Mary when she said, like,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: I'm proud of myself from making the fire, but I
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: feel like nobody gives an f about that in the
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: new era.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one. I also had a merry
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: quote as my backup, which was I love you Eli,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: oh oh wow when she shouted out her boyfriend that
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: ended up not working out. I'm fully expecting Mary to
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: shake you up real quick. Hey, that's her prerogative. Brother.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: The other one I had was for real and it
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: was when Cedric it's just the sound of him going ah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: that's the quote.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: That's the quote, Oh man, guys.
• 33:40

• 35:10

• 35:12
  Speaker 1: She sent it in. I think it's a master class

  Speaker 6: That started with Brand leaving a comment in our Patreon

  Speaker 2: So the Carolina read.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Got to put Carolina Reaper and demon Cedric on there.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Was it one of y'all that sent or did I
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: see it on Reddit where someone just was like, there's
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: a podcast calling him the Carolina brand. I didn't say that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, So it's it was. It's made its way
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: into the ether of Survivor Reddit.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: That's good because I stole that from the Panthers quarterback
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Nice he called Cedric the Carolina Reaper.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: When you're a weekly chat with Bryce.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, man Survivors really crazy.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and our Slash Survivors.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Someone was like, someone called him the Carolina Reaper, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: then underneath it is making the merge reference.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: So we love all our little mergyes.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: That's right, little merges of the Patreons.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Who are what are our fans called the mergers cheap
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: because they don't join and the others, the others and
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: the listeners, oh, because they making merge. You make the
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: merge when you join the Patriots. So they're pre.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Mergers my my One of my other favorite bits is
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: just any time Chase sends this picture, it's the Mitch going.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: I think one of my favorite running bits of the
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: season was me trying to talk about something serious and
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Jonathan trying his hardest not to laugh for no reason,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: just because he wants to laugh at the wrong time.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: If it's a good thing. This is not on video
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: all of the time because you'll bring up something so
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: serious and I can't handle it. But maybe maybe the
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: best bit of the season is y'all just straight up
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: abusing me at every single episode. Real I'm the Jonathan
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: being the punching bag, you know, I want to point
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: out something. I want to peel back the curtain a
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: little bit. I don't know if p D will remember
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: this or Jonathan, but towards the beginning of the season,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: after we were bowling you for a couple episodes, I go,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: all right, p D, I'm gonna change up my gimmick
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I'm gonna try to be the punching
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: bag to get the heat off Jonathan.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: And that was the episode that Mary sent in the
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: worst Yeah, and I he crashed and I crashed out
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: and then everyone still didn't believe me.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: That's a good running big oh, no one believing me?
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Then I brand? Well, yeah, well Brand, you know yeah
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: he didn't know me well at the time. Other good
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: running bit to cut that cut that cut that you
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: can whatever.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: You can always you can always count you know when
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Pete's gonna cut something, because he goes dead quiet.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: And just like this, Yeah he's calculating.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Okay, wait, actually no, I need to delete this so
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: we can start get into the new thing this way.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: And then he.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Waits, he waits for a good cut point, and then
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: he starts talking like nothing ever happened.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh guys.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: What a fun Mergy award. Now, one last segment before
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: we start bringing this home. Uh, brand Jonathan, you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Guys didn't get to talk about the season fifty cast.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Let's hear your thoughts, but keep him pretty short.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah no, I'm I I've had obviously a lot of
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: time to think about this. I I think that most people,
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: most Survivor fans are in are are gonna state the
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: obvious when it comes to they shouldn't have done and
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: even split of all their new era like it was
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: a it was dumb. They shouldn't have done it, but
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: they have, and so with what we have, I think
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: it's a relatively good cast. If you are gonna do
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: a fifty to fifty split new era old era, I
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: think it's a pretty good cast for what that is.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: Do I understand the frustration of people being like, hey,
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: this is supposed to be a celebration of the last
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: fifty years, and for some reason we have twelve people
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: from the past four years. Yeah, the frustration is valid,
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: but five years total, not fifty. Ye, yes, sorry, fifty
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: seas he looks so good man, But yeah, I think overall,
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: with what they decided to do with the split down
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: the middle, it's a it's a pretty darn good cast
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: of what that could be. So I'm gonna choose not
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: to get super frustrated by the fact that they did
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: that and just look at what they did with that
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: decision and go, you know what, overall, pretty pretty good choices,
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: I think.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Dude, I want to I want to say something going
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: off with that, because I I just listened to Drop.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Your Buffs, which is a surrivate podcast. They were on
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Rob has a podcast and they were talking about the
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: fifty cast, and all all three of them, even Rob,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: even the you know, the the Amazonian horn Dog himself.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: It's not trying to make that thing. It's not gonna work.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a thing. It's gonna be a thing,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: and he's gonna love it. He's gonna come on the
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: show and he's gonna be like Chase. That was so funny, Dude,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I'm a really.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: Big fa Hey it's me the horn Dog. On the
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: Making the Merge podcast. Well, I think brayd just turned
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: into a cartoon.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, but they couldn't understand, They couldn't grasp like
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: what they were thinking when they picked so many New
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Era players. But I think it's pretty obvious we're gonna
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: be starting off with two tribes, a New Era tribe
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: and an old Ara tribe. It's right down the middle,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: ten and ten.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: That would mean that they don't well, it's to be
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: twelve and twelve.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, twelve to twelve, whatever, it's four, it's twenty two.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: Right, they've done three tribes forever. You really think they're
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: gonna break from that? They haven't done three tribes forever, well,
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: I mean relatively for like, how many new Eras in
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: a row have they done. You've been like eight or nine.
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: You think they're gonna go back?
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is interesting.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: It does seem obvious that they would do a split
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: down the middle. But like there's like a picture floating around.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've.
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: Seen this of one of the games that is that
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: is currently set up right off right off the island,
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: and it's three different bases that are the one of
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: the it's one of the color variants that people voted on,
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: and some people are like, that's obviously yea fifty and
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: it's three different things.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: So that would lead you to believe that how do.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: You have you split that up? Then?
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Eight eight eight Yeah, But like thematically, I don't think
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: it might.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: New era versus old era feels good because you've got
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: all the new era players that may have played together,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: and you have all the old Air players that may
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: have played together.
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: What if they start as two tribes and then after
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: the first it actually ends up getting like it starts
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: old and then somehow it's splits into three.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: And the one I just watched they did okay, they
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: started us too and one to three.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting way to do it, because I do
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: think there.
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: Is something that's really intriguing, at least for an episode
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: to see new verses old and then hey, let's let's
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: come up with three, three equal tribes from there.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's interesting to me.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: That's the whole appeal of the season is watching the
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: old era new era people interact.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, then, why were you giving me such a
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: hard time?
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: What was I giving you a hard time about? I
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: just think there will be three because they've been doing three.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, you don't. You don't trust me, you don't believe me.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Now I can't help, but notice you I work. Guys.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Do y'all want to know what I think of season fifty?
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I guess dude, do you think anything about it? It's fine, it's.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Cool you you haven't seen any of the seasons.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: No, this is the unique perspective that I have, maybe
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: for this, Okay, I have not seen every season of
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Survivor by any means, right, like, not even close. However,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I did know a lot of the people that they
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: picked for season fifty, So maybe maybe it's actually great
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: what they picked because a person who is sporadically watching
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Survivor knows the majority of the people on it. Yeah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: so you know, I'm a good base level for this. Yeah,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: casual like j Yeah, casual fans who talk about Survivor
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: every week. I'm a casual fan who accidentally became much
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: more intensive a fan. But it's I would say that
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I'm a little confused that nobody from any of the
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: twenties seasons are in it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, as somebody who was playing out of watching
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: every season before fifty and now it finds out he
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: doesn't have to watch like half, I'm pretty happy.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just because I felt like, if it was
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: supposed to be like this, it's weird, this celebration of
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: all of it, and then to skip an entire ten seasons. Yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: here's a little weird.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Here's my I guess Devil's advocate. We got a lot
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: of returning players in the twenties.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, and yeah I had to delay that.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: People like Ozzy and stuff, they did play in the twenties.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: It's just it was a returning season for them.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Well then there we go. I feel much better about
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: it now, but having three but.
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: Unforgetting it, I mean, unless it's so clear, it's so
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: clear that Jeff and co.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Are way higher on it than.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: The average Survivor viewer, like you just did what they
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: have said about that they were doing ayahuasca and and then.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: All sudden.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: About the war.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have three players come back from forty eight man,
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: hey put Carolyn on the show?
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Oh wait what what what did you Traders?
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: No, never mind?
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: So can we talk about the never mind? I'll talk
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: about that later. I also two of the returning god sorry,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: no brother, no brother, you go. Two of the returning
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: players also did Traders the same like one of the
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: same seasons as Carolyn. I don't think that was why.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: I just don't think Carolyn's as popular as everybody thinks
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: she is. I don't know.
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: I just think you're drinking the Jeff Probes Carolyn hate
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: kool Aid?
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Chase, Yeah, brother, If Jeff Probe says it, it's fact brother,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Probes, I'm drinking
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: the kool.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Aid and is.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: To play Devil's advocate.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: To what Jonathan said, though, I have talked to a
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: couple of people that were diehard survivor fans that have
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: kind of given up during the New Era that we're
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: intrigued by fifty and after seeing that it's a fifty
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: to fifty split, and a lot of people that they
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: have bringing back are people that have played multiple times.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: They're no longer interested in fifty, and so I think
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: you might lose a lot of the people that have
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: maybe given up on Survivor because for various reasons, and
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: they see that there's twelve people from the last few
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: seasons and go ah, I'm not interesting.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's be real. A lot of times people
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: say I'm not watching that, and then the curiosity happens. Yeah,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: and we got to end up watching it anyway.
• 48:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: That was my big thing.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Is like, you know, they we we had winners at
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: war five years ago, ten seasons ago, and that's kind
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: of the classic, like, hey you this is all the
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: winners that we could fit. I forgot about them, and
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: so you know, it's only been five years, it's ten
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: seasons later. I understand wanting to be a celebration of
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: every era, but we also need to create new stars.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of these Survivor legends were not
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: popular or as popular as they become until their second.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Or third time playing.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: So we got to bring people back. And that's why
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Joe Man, he's going to be the stars fifty.
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: There were a couple of snubs like Sean should have
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: been on this season.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely for sure, for sure. Although there are people that
• 49:24

• 49:29
  Speaker 2: them that I was extremely excited they brought back, and

• 49:36
  Speaker 3: and Goliath too.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I believe I was very excited to see what she
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: does in the second season. And you know who I
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: care very little about.
