  Speaker 3: And I feel like me a Survivor super fan.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: I've seen every single episode of Survivor, and I've been fighting,
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: and I've.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Been clawing, and I've been digging, and I've been trying.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: I got dirt on my face like soup because I've
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: been digging through the dirt, trying to be the making
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: the Merged Survivor Fantasy Champion, and finally, finally the trophy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Has come home to Chase Bridges.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, amazing. It's gotta give it up, you know, Chase,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it seemed like it was all over for him when
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Saul went home. He was left with one player and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: then that player ran the table.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, that I mean, what a crazy season. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I know this, So this episode correct me if I'm wrong. PD.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: This is just about kind of the recap of the finale,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and then next week we're gonna do a whole season recap.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, next week we are gonna go through pick
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: by pick of our draft and I'm gonna write down
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: every horrible that we had, and there were many, So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want to.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to talk too much about the entirety
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of the season because we could do that next week.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But I doesn't want to say that. You know, when
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Saul was my number one guy, and when Saul went home,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I really did think it was over and I gave up,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and then Rachel really just became one of the greatest
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Survivor winners of all time in my opinion.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I was telling Kristen as we were watching it, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: was like, she's got the cleanest resume I've seen in
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a long time, to the point where I was so
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: unsurprised that she won, Like and Chady Chady, Wow, Hady,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that's just couple's name. Chase, I texted you how many
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: times this said, like, you're gonna win?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Right, So did PD. Everyone was and I was so
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: scared that you guys were just gonna like jinx it
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And Chase is doing this BS where he's like, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: don't know, guys, you know, it might not be me.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Might have it, Yeah, Sue might have it. Sam might
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have it, Teeny might have it. Oh you know, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: just have little old Rachel.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't like, you know, it wasn't that
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: clean cut though, Like as we go through this episode,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like we will hear like it wasn't super clean cut.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I mean, for what it seemed like a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. But then there was so much drama in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: this episode despite that. Yeah, so let's get into it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You know. The first thing we got in this finale
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was monologue Jeff once again, but this time was different.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like last week where he was like this
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is everyone's path to win. This time, he ran through
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: all of Rachel's accolades. The gist of the speech was, man,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Rachel's awesome, but there are other people here too.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It was for sure not as detailed as the previous week.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Like I mean, it really was kind of like, Okay,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: this feels as if it is giving away who the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: main character is.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: You're all thinking it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we were all thinking that, Oh, Kristen's here. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: almost forgot. I'm not so used to her not being
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: here and her voice jump skin and the.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Baby is here.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: The baby's here.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: She doesn't have as much to say.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Member of our podcast.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, if and if we could make sure
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the baby does not removed the pop filter from the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: microphone on this episode, and it was to listen to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that isolated it was jarring.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: We aim for only the highest quality standards, which is
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: why we still don't have a theme song for this podcast.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, this episode, I kind of want to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: go real quick. I want to break this down and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: say I wasn't sure how I would enjoy this episode,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: mainly because I got a bone to pick with PD. Basically,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Chase is like I'm watching live PD is like, I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: not able to watch live tonight, and I say, Kristin
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and I are going to try to watch live.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: So I actually said I'm not gonna watch live. This
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: is true earlier in the chat.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So there was some confusion as to who was watching
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: live to which then uh, you know, we report into Chase,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: who is texting us about watching live, and I say, hey,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: we're not We're not doing it. We're not able to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: make it happen. And a few hours later we get
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a lovely text from PD to the group text that
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: says congrats Chase, which it can only mean one thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So I was nervous going in, thinking, man, I've had
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: this whole episode spoiled. Will I still have fun watching it?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And I did so it was still very enjoyable, even
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: though PD ruined it for us well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: And despite knowing the outcome, I still found myself like
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: on edge during the challenge.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: It.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the last thing I saw in that chat, you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to make me not totally the villain here, is that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it said Jonathan was like, yeah, I'm watching. That was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the last thing I saw, So in my head, everyone
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was watching because when Jonathan watches, Kristen watches about it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I think that the moment that I texted Chase, he
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: should have clarified in the group chat. That's what I'm thinking.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Well, you know so, because here's the thing too, is
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: like you started the no PD chat and you said welcome,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and then like two minutes later, you're like, we're not
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: watching live.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Why you had to stop watching was because Lizzie couldn't sleep?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Why can't you guys multitask that's my question?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, a great question.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Can't you watch the TV?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Are you guys just staring at a non sleeping baby, like, well, it's.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Kind of hard.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I will say, it's kind of difficult to put Lizzie
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to sleep when she looks and at Sue on our television.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: String like there is something counteract.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That is a valid answer to that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, Lizzie's first word the other day was dirt,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be I hate Kyle.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Oh but anyway, guys, right, I forgive you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, enough about me spoiling the episode for Jonathan because
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't updated. Let's let's get into the challenge now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And I love this clip from Jeff, this.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Is what stands between you and a million dollars four
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: big smiles.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's scared.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: They should be.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Got a little bit of villain Jeff there, they should, Yeah.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Which is kind of nice. I feel like Jeff's kind
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of been a sweetie pie for a couple of seasons,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, sometimes when that evil Jeff comes
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: back through, it's it's almost refreshing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: It is nice.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And you know what he made them do to start
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: this challenge. He made them crawl through mud. His favorite
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: thing to do.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: In the world.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He said, a lot of a net and some mud. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of steps to this challenge,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but I want to skip to the letter scramble part
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: where Rachel's struggling with it and then Sam gets through.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I think Sam was the last person to get to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that portion and he just gets it instantly. The clue
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that they had was it's what you need to do, which.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: As soon as I saw it, I was thinking unlock.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I That was one of the few moments watching Survivor
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: where I was like, yeah, I got that, I could
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, Teeny also leapt. I don't know if
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: y'all notice that, but like she she jumped in the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: air to see Rachel's puzzle. It was very it was
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: almost endearing. It was like a nice little gazelle leap.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And speaking of Teeny, after you do the scramble, you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: get a machete and you have to chop a piece
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of group, which was not a problem for the three
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: other people, but Teeny had a hard.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Time level situation.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like Andy would have been hacking at that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: thing with like fire in his eyes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He would have also been hacking at it via his waist.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He would have been thrust Yeah, yeah, he would have
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: been thrust.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we would have had another TikTok clip.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Sam hit once and got all the way through the rope,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: which was crazy killer.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a and then he bolted to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the puzzle and it seemed like, you know what, maybe
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Sam can do this because going into the episode, we
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: were all thinking this is where the drama is. The
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: drama is like does Rachel have to make fire or
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: does she just skate through? And then the answer is no,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: no fire. Sam gave it his all, but he could
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not beat the puzzle.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: God.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Mean this was like a very almost ceremonial win for Rachel. Like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: not only did it mean that she did not have
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: to make fire, she you know, guaranteed a spot in
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the final three. Essentially, you know, if you look at
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: the people with her, essentially that winning that challenge essentially
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: just meant she wont she won the.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Whole she won the show.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but also she joins, as they kept repeating several times,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: she has joined a very limited amount of people. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: think I think she's the fifth woman to win five challenges?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Is that four challenges?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Uh in a season of Surved, which I thought was crazy,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and forty seven seasons, only five women have won four challenges.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I was a little shocked by that stat too. I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: would have thought it was significantly more. Yeah, but yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I mean she was. She was so impressive because she
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: kind of came out of nowhere with those challenges.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Second half of the season, end of the season yeaeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: But we did know from the beginning of the season
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that like her and Honka were a puzzled dream team.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's true. I forgot about Honica. Sorry, when
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they get voted out, they're dead to me.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That's what I said. But so your entire team is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: dead to you.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they all they're all yeah, everybody that was just
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: too quick PD. I can't I'm still not recovering, but.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Everyone's chilling in the water post challenge, and Rachel does
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: not beat around the bush. She's like, you know, I'm
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: taking Sue, my biggest ally and Teeny and Sam you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: two have to make fire.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean she basically was like, I'm taking somebody
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: that's been nice to me the whole time that I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: know I can beat, Like, yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: That part on that was just a given. Yeah, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: mean that worked out for her. You know, she's able
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: to be admirable and also still take somebody that she's.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Going to beat.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think I think she can say that it
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: was because of the loyalty all she wants. I think
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: she just knew like Sue wasn't going to beat Sam
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: and fire making, and she really did not want Sam
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: in that final three because if she was against Teeny,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, not to jump ahead, but like
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: it was already a cake walk, but it would have
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: been really a cake walk against Sue.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Sue is around the fire the whole game, though. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: feel like, maybe so you have some fire experience.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: She even said that she thought she could beat Sam
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: because Sam didn't nobody was doing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam had never did in practice.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: That was a really funny segment.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: What do you think about Sam and TEENI in the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: water though, Like when Sam's like, you're gonna let me
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: make fire?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Dude? Oh yes, there's a lot of times where Teeny
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: crashes out about Sam, and I don't think it's completely justified.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: The way that he said, yeah, I feel was completely justified.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: You're gonna let me make fire?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was. That was like the most arrogant vibe
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: he had the whole season.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It was that sentence. Oh really, I loved it. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: was like Teeny was the one who was in the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: wrong because she didn't like bring it back harder to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Sam was in the wrong.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Wrong.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that when somebody trash talks, you should
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: respond with more trash talk. Now arrogant?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Well it it. I don't know that his came across
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: even like trash talk as much as it came across
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like oh really, like that's what you think. It wasn't
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like a playful jab. It felt very passive, but not
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: in like a It felt arrogant.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It felt like he didn't like he wasn't making a joke,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: like he didn't mean to be rude, like he truly
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: meant it his.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: How cocky, and I didn't see that as a bad thing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get to like when we get later in
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: the episode. I have a lot of feelings about Sam,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: and so I might be I might be feeling a
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: little like I might be jumping the gun a little
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: bit at this part of the episode with me.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I have some feelings about how he handled tribal but
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I've just got a lot of feelings in general. Well,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: probably feelings of victory because you just destroyed us off.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But you know, we.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Should just have an episode of all of Chase's feelings.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she could be my therapist and then like lock
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: me up.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in the facility.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, continue PD.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: To Rachel wants Teeny to win, and Rachel is actively
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: helping Teeny learn how to make fire because Sam is struggling,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: like to the point of tears, because it turns out
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: when he said he had never made a fire in
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: his life, he wasn't lying despite looking so cocky in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the water, and to quote Sue, he's not good. It's pathetic.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's gonna look like an idiot. I would have beaten Sam.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I do you think that his arrogance in the water
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: was to try to get out of fire making.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: I think that could have.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Been like where he was just like, oh, you want
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: me to make fire, just plant a.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Little bit of doubt in there about it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that he was genuinely
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: everything we're saying, because everything you say is wrong. Wow.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Wait, so when since when was I agree with Chase
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and you were the one being mean to be PD?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Like what happened?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: He's just one win and you get a loss and
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: suddenly the tables and completely turt.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I think he was being so cocky and he wanted
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this like he wanted to have something because he lost
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the Final Immunity Challenge and there's like there's no resume
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: builder left in the game. So I think he definitely
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to go into fire and then he was being
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: so cocky because he had not practiced yet and he
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: didn't know how terrible he was at it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: M Yeah, honestly, guys, I think this may be this
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: is a side note, but I think we should all
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: get a flint and steel and try to make fire
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: each try first, try to make a fire and see
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: what happens.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: And just that's a fun idea.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: That's fun. Write that down, PD, written it down.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I got it. It's already written. I wrote it as
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: soon as you said it the first time. The turning
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: point for Sam here though, was the letter from his dad.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: After he struggled so hard he went into the letters
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: from loved one's bag.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I for those listening that have not watched the episode,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: because apparently we have people that are doing that. When
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he says the turning point for him making a fire
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was the letter from his dad, that does not mean
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: he burnt. The letter from his dad means that means
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that he was encouraged by it and built a better fire.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and it would have been funny if he
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: used that for firestarter.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: He's like, thanks father, you know, lights it up? How
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: long do you think? I mean, it seemed like he
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: really tried for a long time to get a fire
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: going by himself.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Struggling for so long that eventually Rachel went over there
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: after helping Teeney, and Rachel came back and was like,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Sam sucks and is gone.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Christ is gone. You know. I guys, I don't know why,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: but she leaves me all the time on this podcast.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: If I was married to you, I'd leave you all
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the time. She comes back.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Chase, I was getting I was getting kind of concerned.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, Chase hasn't been mean to be this episode?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Like he okay, Like.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Do I need to check on him.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to say this without sounding soft,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: but this episode means so much to me. I'm trying
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to like keep it on the rails. Dude.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Oh so the rest of them meant nothing to you?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Is what you know? Dude? This is my first ever win.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Dude, this is I'm happy for you. I don't want
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to sound soft, but I cried when you won.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And to be and to be I should save this
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: for the end, but to be the the champion of
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: the first season that we did with the podcast too,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: you know, to our listeners, I'm gonna be like, in
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: their minds, I'm the first making the Merge champion.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah, you were also the first making the Merge
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: meltdown on TikTok uh. You know you you you were
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: pretty upset about Saul going home and yeah, you know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I mean you've had a lot of first for us chase.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm nothing if I'm not a showman, you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, showman, a trailblazer, somewh champion, A champion, champion,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I don't anyway.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's keep going with that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Enough about me, enough cha here. So we talked about
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Sam's turning point. He read the letter and he's like,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you know what, I can't give up, Like, I gotta
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: give it my all, can't have any doubt creep in.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So we go from there to the tribal council area
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for the fire making challenge. But before the fire making challenge,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Jeff is asking some questions and he asked Teeny if
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this was an opportunity being forced into fire making, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, that is the dumbest question Jeff Is
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: ever asked.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty bad.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Is your only path to stay in the game
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: an opportunity? Yeah, I think it is. Jeff Teeny. Teeny
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: did open up about their one sided rivalry with Sam
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and I want to play that clip here. I've had
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a bit of a one sided with Sam and open
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: up about it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Honestly, is that I look.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: At Sam and I see a handsome, smart athletic, strong guy,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and Sam.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Somebody who probably when he was younger, got a lot
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of attention from girls.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: The teachers wanted him to be the kid who was
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: like moving to desks around the.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Classroom and like, and that's kind of the thing that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to be doing.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Man, how many desks did y'all move? By the way,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: growing up, y'all were y'all desk movers in the classroom.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I so she she lost me at that one, yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: because I laughed out.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I remember. I remember the teacher being like, I need
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: some strong boys to help me move these desks. And
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I remember being like, God, I hope she doesn't pick
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: me up. I don't want to do manual labor for
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: this woman in her forties? Are you kidding me?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I know she doesn't have the money
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to pay me for it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: This is great. I understood her sentiment, which was like,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: all great, another like, you know, kind of back a
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: good looking white guy succeeding in life, you know, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: she's like, when is it going to be my turn
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to succeed? And I totally understood that sentiment. I think
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: that she picked the wrong white guy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Well, and he's also not like, from what I've gathered,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: he's not really a jock either, right.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I mean he's in shape, yeah, but like he's like
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: kind of a nerd. He's like a loser a lot.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Like most of the season, I was like, God, I
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: was that too harsh. I mean, we can clown Sue
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: all we want, but the second I call same a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: bit of a loser, Well, I.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Feel like we jumped so many levels where you're like,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: he's not really a jock. In fact, I would say
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: he's awful and.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Kind of nerdy, and it's kind of like a bit
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: of a loser. Like he's, trust me, the kind of
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: guy that got bullied a lot growing up and now
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: he's in and he's.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: He's still getting bullied on the Making the Merge podcast.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: So he deserves it. Like I get like later in
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: this episode, he upsets me to the point where I.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Don't I can't wait to hear this. That's interesting because
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like everybody else is like, go Sam, but yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. WHOA Okay, So next up we
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: have the most intense thing of the entire season. It
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was incredible. This fire making challenge was insane. So Chase
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: lead us through this portion of the show.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: So for the fire making challenge, if you I mean,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I would hope everyone listening has watched Survivor and knows
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the show. But if you don't, the way that Survivor works,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: when you get the final four, they have to earn
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: their way to the final three. There's not a big challenge.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: There's two people that get selected by the winner of
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the immunity challenge who have to make fire. So it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: kind of like this head to head fire making challenge.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: They're given flint and steel and a bunch of little
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: sticks and some like straw stuff as a starter. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: as we've already said, Teeney versus Sam, now the way
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that this went down, I have a lot of feelings
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: about this fire making challenge. I know this is the
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Chase is feelings episode, But as the champion, I'm gonna
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: get a little bit off my chest.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna let you because it's like you've earned
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: an award for.
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: This, you know.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So the fire making starts almost immediately. Teeny is
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: in the lead. Yep, Sam cannot get any like a
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: little flame in his kindling. Nothing. Teeny right off the bat,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: she's in the lead. She's got some fire going. She's
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: putting the sticks on. Rachel is like giving her advice.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I did think it was very funny. At one point,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Teenie just looks at Rachel goes, what do I doude?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: When she looked over and was like, what do I do?
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I said, that's how she's played the entire season, except
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: in fire making.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Right now is hey, what do we do? Guys? You know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: not making the decision. You look to Rachel and say
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: what do I do? And then it's like then it's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: obviously the winner is but.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, to Teeny's credit though, like you said, Chase,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: she she just took off so fast starting the fire.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: It was so impressive.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Well, and that was the thing is I thought it
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: was so funny when she asked what to do, because
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: it was like, what you're doing is fun, and just
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: keep doing it. And that's what Rachel said, and she
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: was like keep going, and so she's just she's just
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: putting more sticks. Next thing, you though, Teeny has this
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: giant fire going for a long long time.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: As Jeff likes to call an inferno.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: He always, yeah, yeah, it's an inferno. You know. Survivor
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: is a lot like.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: A dog's a lot like an inferno starts really hot,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: you're not sure where it's gonna go.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Well that's I mean, I think that is a good
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: metaphor for this fire making challenge. Started off hot and
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: then you didn't know where it was going.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: For real though.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: So this is where I this is where I have
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: This is where my feelings starts.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: This is where like I'm so hyped up. I'm like,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was on an exercise bike watching this.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I was pedaling so fast.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: The peloton.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, workout.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: They're just like Peenie Bachmann out of nowhere from the back,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: So like Teeny has this fire going so big and
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: so long that it's like any Usually at this point
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: of the fire making challenge, any second, that rope's gone
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and it's over. But for some reason, the wind is
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: going so berserk. It's not it's not even touching the rope.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It's not touching the rope, and there's and this is
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: where I oh, god, dude, like there's nothing more she
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: could do. Yeah, she had this giant fire and it
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: was staying strong, but it just wasn't burning the rope.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: And the next thing, you know, Sam has a little
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: fire going in his kindling. Next thing, you know, he's
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: got some sticks on it. Next thing, you know, it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: going big. Next thing, you know, it's as big as teenies,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: And just like that, out of nowhere, in like after
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Teenie's had this giant fire for minutes, within seconds his
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: rope burns. It's over and Sam wins the challenge. Yeah,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: and I saw, I mean, obviously super epic moment of
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: this episode, probably the epic moment of this episode.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I think one other than like Operation Italy, I mean
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the fire. Between the fire making and Operation Italy, those
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: are two massive moments for the season.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then like Rachel playing her her idol, Yeah's
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: idols number one.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But I mean the it was like the fire making.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately it ends up being inconsequential, but in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the moment, it was just so im.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And this is where I had a big problem. There
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: was no it wasn't a skill issue. There was nothing
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: more that Teeny could have done to win it. It
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: was literally just luck. And that's where I felt like
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: fire making to decide the final three. It's it was
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: made like that rule was made because it was like
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: it was supposed to eliminate all luck like this. This is
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: purely two people doing something that everyone that's cast on
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Survivor should know how to do, and which of you
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: can do it better.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: The real reason that it was put in there, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I heard this from Jeff this week, he said that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it's because the thing that they would do is vote
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: out the best player at four. So here's a hurdle
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: where like they are potentially safe as we're in every
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: other season, they would just be the conclusion to go home.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I do I have two questions for y'all about
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the fire making. One is more of like a hypothetical
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: on your feelings. I'm sure you'll like that one, Chase.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: But the first one I have is do you think
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: because I'm watching their flames and Teeny's is like sideways, yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and Sam's is fine, I would be I would be
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: really interested to know what the layout of like the
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: walls or the items or like, you know, were there
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: any barricades that were blocking Sam from her wind?
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And at that point you're like a man, I feel
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: like I feel like you should always make sure that
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: wherever the contestants are sitting is like very fair. Yeah,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: because it just something. They were right next to each
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: other and the wind was pretty much only hitting her flame. Yeah,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: and I felt I felt really bad for her, like
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I've given her like a tough time this season, you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: or like poked fun. But I watched that and I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: was like, dang, like that's kind of heartbreaking. So that
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: brings me my next question for y'all. In fire making,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: would you feel worse or better if the reason that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: you lost was because the wind caught your flame versus
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: just not being able to make a fire, which one
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: would make you feel worse.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have the wind knocking me out of it,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: because then it was like, maybe you could make a fire,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: because when somebody can't get a flame the whole time,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: those are always big letdowns.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what I was thinking, but also, like
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: you were saying, I felt so bad for Teeny in
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: this moment. Here's this is what I wrote in my
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: notes during this part.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It is diary.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Teeny losing fire was one of the most unfair and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: insane moments ever. Doesn't even feel fair. I'm not sure
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: what she could have done differently. I think I was
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: just so upset because it was like she did everything right.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: She did it first, and she had the biggest fire quickly,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: and it's like she deserved the final three spot and
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: there was like nothing that she could do about it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: And that's what really felt unfair to me. But I guess, like,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: you know, what can you do about Like I just
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: didn't feel like Sam earned that win.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, he kept trying. He could have given up, yeah,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and that's the way that he positioned his fire. It
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: looked like his was behind the rope it was and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit in front.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: M I didn't think about that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I think his his perseverance, to me, doesn't negate his win,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: right like her her flame getting blown over doesn't mean
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: that he wasn't worthy of winning fire making. I mean
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: he kept trying, even though he could have clearly given
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: up as soon as he saw an inferno over all
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: teens and he just kept trying, like he just he
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: he pulled through when it counted. I guess, but I
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I thought that when he won, you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: he stood up and he was just psyched.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, right, yeah, let's go.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: That's how I reacted after I saw it, very different
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: from how Chase reacted apparently.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But then he like very quickly shifted and when it
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: hugged Teeny and I was like, okay, good, good on
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you dude, like you you weren't like a complete jerk.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Ye know, I didn't. I didn't have a problem with
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: how he acted there. It's where what he acts later
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: in this episode where I've got a lot of hate
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: for safe.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: So what you're telling me is we're not having Sam
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: on the podcast.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: You know, we can have Sam on, but I will
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: be bringing the things up.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I mean it's for obvious reasons. It's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: because Sam was going up against Chasi's darling Rachel.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: And no, it's not even that. Let's not even talk
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: about until. It's because I will get carried away.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I can feel it in his eyes. You're scaring us.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I have one more note on fire making, and that's
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that after it was over, Rachel looked at Teeny like
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: an emperor looking down at one of their generals, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: she's like, you did well, Teeny. I thought that this
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: is an incredible moment, Emperor.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Rachel, Yeah, yeah, be well in your journey, says you leave.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like or on the battlefield dying, like
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: grabbing her hand you know.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she has such a grasp on this game, like
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: every everything once she kind of really took control of
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the game, everything that happens. It just like so like
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Rachel is so obviously the winner.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean by like I we We
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: even were texting with with Lovely Brandon, guest of the
• 31:09

• 31:13
  Speaker 2: sure how excited he was to watch the finale. He's like,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: because I've I've never been so sure that somebody is winning,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: whereas we all kind of still felt some excitement for it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: But it's just true, Like the entire episode, you're like,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: if she wins Immunity, Rachel's winning, like there's not and.

• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that Rachel wins, and then they we're like, where's the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: drama gonna come from? And that's where I am so
• 31:54

  Speaker 1: Okay, into my computer, give me a mic. Established speaking
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of being against women, we're talking about Sue and how
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Sue said I fooled them all and she genuinely believes
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: that she is a winner going into this. I there's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: a level of delusion. I feel they had their little
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: watermelon feast on the beach and the you know, the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Peace treaty time and was not a fan of the watermelon.
• 33:30

• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I don't like any fruit.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I don't look, I don't like watermelon. I've had enough
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: fruit in my life to know what I like. Watermelon
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: is not one.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Why is he literally every time they eat anything, he's like,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I've never heard this before, what are you eating? A
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: sports kind of guy. He's the kind of guy that
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: every restaurant he goes to he gets chicken tis.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, I was about saying. He's like, do you
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: have grilled cheese?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's what? Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: He's an olive garden and they were like super salad
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: and he was like, do you have chicken butter noodles?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Can I get Can I get some water with
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: some salt on it?

  Speaker 3: Yeah. He's like, I'll put lemon in it?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh okay, all right.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: He's like, wait, wait is lemon a fruit? That's what he.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Says, the same as the kind of guy where his
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: favorite fruit is lemon.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: And if he's really feeling wild and apple, you know, hey.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: He did like pineapple. Give the man some credit.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: That's because they had the word apple in it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's what it is possible. Yeah, he's like
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: that seems familiar enough. I like it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Oh man. Yeah, I'm good with shifting to tribal because
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like there wasn't much that happened between stuff,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: and honestly for a reason, because they were like, let's
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: just get to tribal. We all know who's winning, right.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. It wasn't that clean cut the
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: rible edit.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean the way we started, I thought Chase
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: is gonna keep talking. Yeah, I don't know why I realize.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I thought in my head, I was like the tribal edit,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: and then PD was just gonna pick up with.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: The that it sounded like the beginning of a sentence.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: My bad man. I don't know.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Somebody think that you were gonna continue like I.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Thought, I was like handing the batonda PD.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: But what I thought was what I thought was gonna
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: you see how weird that is, Chase when you started.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I knew it was weird. When I got
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: quiet and looked at you, guys.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, did go off about the edit and then
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: realize you're jumping ahead and you just shut down.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: That's what well, I mean yeah, I mean kind yeah, okay,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: just take it PD.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have to leave all this head
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: now we'll see yeah, yeah, you gotta leave it. The
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: power now shifts to the jury. We are at tribal counts,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and it starts with Sue's pitch and Sue's pitches Hey, guys,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: it's my birthday. I'm not actually forty five, I am
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: fifty nine. And then Gabe said wow, and Sam was

  Speaker 3: Upon the revelation of Gable. Gabe was the only one
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: nice enough to be like, whoa.

  Speaker 6: Yeah, wondering what made her think she could pass for
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: forty five.

  Speaker 3: She kept putting the dirt on her face. She was like,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: maybe they won't notice.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's my thing is she acted like it was
• 37:21

• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know when you had to lie, Susan, Susan.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Wow, Susan, where did that come from? We have not

• 37:42
  Speaker 1: on the island and it was like, I'm Sue, that
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: was that was when the lie had to happen. They
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: were like how old? She says it?

  Speaker 2: Right, that's it. It wasn't like people the rest of
• 37:54

  Speaker 2: by the way, Sue, how.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Old did you say?
• 37:57

• 38:01
  Speaker 2: all the way. The end is just like, hey, I

• 39:20
  Speaker 3: talking about, you know, like I foreluted to earlier, the
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: edit wasn't straightforward like it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: It's eluded, just like foreshadowed and alluded.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: This podcast is a nightmare I had to go through
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: like the I had to.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I had to process it for a moment.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Means it took me one business day.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I was for looted about that's not even a word.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Right, I was questioning myself. I was like, is this
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: just a word? I don't know, Well, what did the.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Way for me is looking at me and seeing his
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: eyes squint just for a moment. I was like, yeah,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I think we're on the same page.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't know. I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I just typed in for looted into Google. It said,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: did you mean preluded for laid or Ford? I think
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I think I was trying.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: To say, he prophesied. That's what you were trying to say.
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you guys knew what I meant.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it couldn't let that slide.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Good word.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly for loud.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: It feels right like it feels just it feels real like.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: If I'm going to make up a word, at least
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: that word like made sense.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, God, dude, guys, Yeah, I really, guys.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: While we were laughing, I really started crying, like legitimately,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: like emotionally crying, like not even just.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Chase, tell us your thoughts about this episode
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, how about now you actually tell us
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about what happened with Sam and Rachel's cases
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Back and forth. Hey, this is why we're the number
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: two TV and film podcast in What Philippines Philippines.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this recap was great. Until they forgot how
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to speak English and started giggling for ten minutes.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I gonna breathe.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, So tribal edit.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: The tribal edit, I think that they did a really
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: good job of really making it look like Sam has
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: a chance.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing that drove me crazy. Right, So
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: we're at the point the jury each gets to ask questions,
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: They get to to ask things of Sam and Rachel.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Not many people asked Sue much.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Nope. In fact, I'm like there were two questions, right,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: so County Chris, the two questions.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: Two or three? I feel like some people just asked
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: her questions to like throw her a bone, you.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah. They were like, Okay, it's like
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: I heard from Rachel and Sam, now Sue, would you
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: like to answer?
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: The thing that really started to upset me was even
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: like in Sam's confessionals right before Tribal and his reactions
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: to some of Rachel's answers and some of his answers,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It really upset me how he perceived his game to
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: be a lot better than it actually was. He truly,
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: it was almost pitiful, how how much he thought his
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: game was such a such a good game, and it
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: was really making me upset because he did not play
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: as good of a game as he thought he did.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: And Rachel like called herself the underdog. She was like,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I'm the underdog of the season. I was going home.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Saw saved me. Then the next week, I was going home.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I weaseled my way out of it. I used this advantage.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I did that, like she truly was the underdog this season.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: And when she said that, Sam gave a face like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about. You're not the underdog of
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: the season. I am. And I was like, Sam, you
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: started off this game at the top of your beginning tribe.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: You were bullying the other people in your tribe. You
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: were so cocky that you were like, you had the numbers.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Then the second that it flipped on you, Yeah, you
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: became an underdog because you were at the bottom of
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: the numbers because they flipped on you. You were on top,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: you got dethroned, and then you were so like you
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: you had such a bad game at that point that
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: people didn't mind dragging you along. Yeah, you were on
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the barrel for like three tribals in
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: a row, and you managed to survive, but not of
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: anything that you did. You didn't play any advantages, you
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: didn't strategically survive. No, it was literally everyone's trying to
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: get out bigger threats than Sam. So Sam thought that
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: he played this epic game where he survived, and that
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: was not the game he played. That was the game
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Rachel played.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: And so I was really upset.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: But what I think Sam did pull off some stuff
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: that helped him survive. But if we're looking at what
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: he is at right then is for a million dollars.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: So at that point you're like, you say, whatever the
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: heck you want, or lie however you want to elevate
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: your game however you want, because at the end of
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the day, the game's not over.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: You still want to.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Get those votes.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I almost sound it like Jeff there, guys, I am him,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: But that's why.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Well, no, it's not even that I take it personally.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: It just did upset me personally.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Earlier he called him a loser.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't like.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I mean it like that. I meant I didn't think
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: he was like a popular jock.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, Okay, this guy's last task in the
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: game is building a case to win a million dollars?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: How dare he embellish and let me make it very.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Much want the money I think he made. I think
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: he made a great case for himself. He was very
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: well spoken, He made a great gase for himself, and
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: I totally understand having to embellish. What made me upset
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: is I truly think that he thought that he had
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: played a better.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Game than he did, so going into tribal, I really
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: felt that Sam had no chance against Rachel. But listening
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: to his argument, I was actually kind of like, okay,
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: like this is a decent argument, and if you do
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: look at it from the out wit, outplay, out last,
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: like technically he did do he outlasted, outlasting I don't
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: know that he outplayed anybody. I do think that Sam
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: kind of got dragged to the end. I don't, but
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: I think once he got there, he made the best
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: of the situation he was in and he did have
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: a good argument.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and chases like how dare he can't say anything
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: but Rachel was the best player ever.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to come across like a big Sam hater.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I just it really frustrated me that because like there's
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: that part of tribal where he does this big thing,
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: like this was this great thing I did. We pointed
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: out Rachel as this huge threat. Yeah, we wanted everyone
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: to know that Rachel was a huge threat. And then
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Rachel goes, yeah, but then you didn't take out the threat.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but that's why her her whole game was
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: so air tight. Yeah, because of things like that. Now,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: where I think he went wrong and where I see
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: like others go wrong. Is that kind of arrogant or
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: faux arrogant look that he gave teeny in the water
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: of like you want me to build a fire? That
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: kind of started to leak into when Rachel would be answering,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: he would be giving like looks and being like, you know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: doing stuff to kind of like negate what she was saying.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: If I'm sitting on the jury and I see someone
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: who's played like a really clean game and someone else
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: is giving a really good argument, but they're constantly being
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: like what no, uh, you know, super rude or condescending
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: to the other player. That's not gonna incline me to
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: vote for them.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I was trying to say, But you
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: articulated it way better.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, But yours was emotional, which I think it's good
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: for this show. Yeah.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, so I do feel I do feel really
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: bad for going so hard on Sam when I should
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: be going so hard on how great Rachel was. Yeah.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to come across like I think
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Sam was the winner either. I was just saying, of course,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: he was like backed into a corner and was going
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: to say whatever, And I didn't fault him for that.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: But one thing that Rachel brought up, it just goes
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to show how much of a genius that she is
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: is when they were having her funeral, that she was
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: actively like playing that up and make sure that they
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: talked about how big of a threat she was so
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that they would make the case for her. So it's
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: like Rachel could have just like sat there and made
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: fart noises the whole tribal council and she could have won.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I think some might say that would have been way
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: more entertaining, But I mean, can't you imagine.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: To your point, PD, dude, Like Rachel, she really laid
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: out everything that made her a winner, and it was
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: so like she didn't so simply and I.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Just didn't have to try hard because her game had
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: already been proven and it had been proven by the
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: other players at the previous tribal. That's to the jury.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: It was a It was a solid move because she
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: basically even brought that up though, like you're saying p
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: D whereas she was like they already made it, like
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: they already made the argument for me. So yeah, she's
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: a killer player and deserved that win more than anybody
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: else on the island. Now, Sam had one vote.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: He had one vote, which sed me.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I know why came from Kyle. Yes, And
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: not only do I know why, but today I happened
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: to cross a TikTok and I'm gonna play the audio
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: for you where Kyle is now on cameo. Okay, And
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it was somebody's birthday and they got a cameo from Kyle,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: and since they were a fan, he said, I'm gonna
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: give you some extra details about why I voted for Sam,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: and he dropped those details in a one person cameo
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: and then they posted it online. So here we go, guys,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna play it for you.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: So that's a.
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: Story from a different time. Listen, Kyle Rn, I'm here
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: in LA with most of the cast.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: We just hit the finale.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: I'm taking a little time to give you some love,
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: and obviously you've seen the finale, and I'm gonna give
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: you some insider because you deserve it for being a badass.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: You want to know why I voted for Sam because
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: I knew everybody was voting for Rachel. That's his clean cut,
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: as I could put it for you. I didn't feel
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: like Sam was a third vote finalist with with Sue,
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: I didn't. I don't believe that they played the same game.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: I believe that Sam deserved a second place. And if
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: I can single handedly take money from one man's pocket
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: and put it into another man's.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Pocket, okay, okay, and have have no sweat, Yeah.
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna do it because I'm not in this just
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: for myself, right, We're in this for family, We're in
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: this for friends.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Buck twenty literally gave him a buck twenty this time.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave him fifteen thousand problems, but he would
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: make sense.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It makes sense why he did it. He basically was like,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Sue and Sam are not on the same level. Sam
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be a no vote. I'm gonna vote Sam because
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I know Rachel's gonna win.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: So I didn't even think about that. So if Sam
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: and Sue both had gotten zero votes, they would have
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: tied for second. Yes, yeah, so they would have had
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: to split the second place money. Yeah, and that would
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: mean teeny gets the third place money.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I think if you well know that everyone gets paid.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: It's a sliding scale, even if you're I think.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: It's eighty five thousand if they both get no votes.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: But because there's that distinction, now Sam gets fifteen thousand more.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, which I think is like a solid thing
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: to do just from a well, from just being a
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: kind guy, right, Like that's how he played the whole game,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the whole time. But to basically just say Sam played
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: better than Sue, he should get second place instead of tying,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hand it to him. And he did.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he lost me at first because I was like,
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: what are you talking?
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: I'm talking nice about Sam, that's what she's started.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Well No, No, I meant I was like, you want
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: to know why I voted for Sam because I knew
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: everyone was voting for Rachel, And I was just like,
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: come on, dude, well that does make sense. I didn't
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: even think about the conclusions to yeah, you know, yeah, do.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: You have a pattern of doing this in your lifetime?
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Get in his head, Christen?
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: I do. It's a problem.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Mean to like for for Fortell.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Now that's a real lude.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: I don't need to for lude, you know. Yeah, yeah, man, Really,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like Jonathan from last week. I feel like
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: I really dropped this.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Is This is great for me because last week I
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: was half asleep and got off the podcast and thought, man,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who that was theisode that podcast.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel right now. This is the biggest
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: victory of my life. And I feel like a fucking
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: moral sorry that you'll have to beat that PDA.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I might not, don't.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: He's feeling he's feeling frisky this week, you know. Oh man, Yeah, Chase,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: I'm really I'm really glad Rachel won. I think that
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Rachel deserved the win. And you know, you've been You've
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: been hustling for a win longer than than I have
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: or Kristin has. I mean, Kristen still doesn't deserve that
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: win from last season, you know, but it's just, uh,
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm happy that you took it this time.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks man. I will say it would have been more
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: entertaining if Jonathan had won this season, because then next
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: season I could really have it out for.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Him because you have a tattoo on your body.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I mean honestly, I don't know how
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: we would have topped a season like that. You get
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: a tattoo, you know. Yeah, apparently that's like top tier
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: for me. I don't know why that was say, tattoo.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: That's the craziest thing, you know.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I was about to be like, hey, I can always
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: make that same bet next season, but I think, if anything,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: I'll save it for season fifty.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'm hoping for is BONDI will be
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: back for season fifty.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: That's what I really want. Crazy. I have a few
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: more things I wanted to talk about, but please, do
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: you have anything he left on your list?
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: As far as stuff from the episode that was it?
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I actually had that Kyle clip cued up, but Jonathan
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: got to it before.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: No way, were you shocked that I did any research
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: before an episode.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I was not shocked that you jumped into play producer.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Well, well, hey, I think I'll say I think Jonathan
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: did a good job with that segment.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he got to it the moment I was
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: going to get to it all.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stopped treating me like a five year old that
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: y'all like put on this podcast. Like, good job, Jonathan,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: you really did it. You're talking so good this week.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: You know what I wanted to talk about next is
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: the first look at Survivor forty eight that we got.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: It was pretty epic. I mean, it was the same
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: as all the other ones, and I'm like, you know,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: you know nothing about any.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Of these people, but well that's what I was thinking.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know that I've stuck it
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: stuck out.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: That's not true. So some stuff stuck out to me.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: And that's what I want to bring up, and I
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: will say I do miss There was a chunk of
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: time of Survivor when the first looks for next season,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: like every season had.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Like a theme, yes and so.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it would be like next season and it
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: would be like we're bringing back all injured players.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: And it's like what, Yeah, like it's millennials versus jazz or.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, stuff like that. So there's not like a theme.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: So it's very much just like, here's some people that
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: are going to be playing, but out of the people
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: that are going to be playing, here's some early looks
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: that we might be wanting to draft next season. The
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: first there's a guy who's a single dad and he's
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: doing it for his kids, which made which made me think,
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: like if you're a single dad and you're on Fiji,
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: where are your kids?
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Dog? Yeah, with him?
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: And also like that would be crazy if his if
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: his if him being a single dad is such a
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: struggle that that's like his big struggle for the season
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: or survivor he should not have, Like like how are
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: you able to leave you? Like, if you have someone
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: to leave your kids with for a month, then I
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: think you're I think you're doing all right, like you
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: have help.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the other twist. He's a single dad, but
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: it's because his wife left him and has full custody.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, question for Kristen. I mean, you know, being
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: a single mother, would you be able to go answer?
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: You know, here's the here's the thing, guys, Kristen's not
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: here because she had to go put our baby to sleep.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: She left again.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right now I have a question, how much does
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: that baby sleep, dude, every time it's worth no matter
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: when we're recording, you're like, dude, we're trying to get
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: the baby to go to sleep.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Look, babies sleep more than you think. That's what I
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: will say is that you feel like your life is okay,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I've got a two hour window, and then that baby
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: needs to sleep again, and then it's dude, it's uh.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: It takes over your life. It really does.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: So you should just get up and go play survivor
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: you just leave?
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah I should.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: I'll be like, anyway, I got this. There's so there's
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: a guy who's a single dad and that was like
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: a big selling point for him. Then we have Chocolate
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Milk Captain America. This dude was jacked and he said
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: it was all thanks to chocolate Milk no to me. Yeah,
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: and then last so you know, you could draft the
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: single dad, you could draft Chocolate Milk Captain America or
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: our autistic queen. She was like, I am on the
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: spectrum and I'm gonna be real dude. She like, just
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: from this preview, I'm she might be my first pick.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Because the edit that she got at the end of
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: that trailer for next season, I was like, oh, this
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: is like, this is someone that yeah, talk really well,
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna push hard in the confession, like.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I just need you to hyper fixate on this game.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: That's what you're gonna hope from.
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. If there's one thing that I learned from
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: this season, it's that don't go off the marketing. Don't
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: go off the commercials, because if I would have been
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: able to, I thought I would have been able to
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: pick John love it.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, And I mean we clearly had two different
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: opinions of Genevieve this season, which I don't again, I
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: don't even want to get into that. Yeah, like there's
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: but uh well, we'll say that that was one of
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: the weaker takes of everybody on here, and I'll keep
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: reminding you of it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: So season preview, I know, but it's the bearded dude.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: He seemed pretty cool. Yeah yeah, okay, it.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: So so far we have chocolate me, Chocolate.
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: America.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, chocolate, but.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Captain America, guy with a beard, single dad, the autistic queen,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: the autistic queen, and that's what you gathered from that.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah. And I was like, hey, guys, this is like, hey,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: keep keep our eye out for them.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, dims On bearded guy.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: You know, also, you just want to pick somebody who's
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: most like you.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I like to see myself in all
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: of my players.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: You know, that's why you picked Genevieve the Lawyer. Yeah,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: totally see yourself as a Canadian female lawyer.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Canadian female lawyer. But most importantly, not a
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: winner of any seasons of spec.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: All right, So, I mean, starting from the Chase victory
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: speech all the way until the season forty eight preview,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: we have done it. We have recapped the final episode
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: of season forty seven, and what a season it was
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: for Survivor and for our podcast.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: Heck idea.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what a twist on the on the
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: podcast listenership. I mean, I mean, I know, I feel
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: appreciative of just how many people are messaging us, emailing us, listening, subscribing.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I mean, Petie, you're putting in a lot
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: of legwork with the audio edits, Chase you're editing a lot,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: and then we're all kind of like managing social stuff.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: But it's like, I don't think any of us. Uh
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: what is the word you used earlier for looted?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think any of us for looted. How successful
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: this will be, yeah, for all of us. And it's
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: just it's so fun.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: Me and people were talking earlier, and you can actually
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: tell the exact moment where we're like, oh, we need
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: to actually start trying.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was basically like three weeks in where we
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, no, there's people listening.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Literally, I was looking through the screenshots of like me
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: sending numbers to you guys, because I was able to, like,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: because I've sent so many that I was able to see,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: like where we popped off. The first two weeks of
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the show. We had twelve listeners. Yeah, crazy, not as
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: much as we were going to get. Yeah.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, I can't believe that more people than
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: us are listening.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then episode four, the rom clips propelled us.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and TikTok is going to be missed if it
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: gets banned, dude, because I've been having such a good
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: time in the TikTok comments section everybody has to say
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: about Survivor, and I just want to because I know
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do an episode next week, and I think
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: we have a few more episodes planned after that with
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: some pretty big surprises, maybe even a contestant from this season.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say anything, but I do want to
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: say we we have yes, yeah, no, we have some
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: little things planned for next season which I haven't even
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: talked to Jonathan about. I've just mentioned a PD planned
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: for next season that will help since we've gained so
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: many people so quickly, we didn't really plan for that.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: But we have some stuff in the works to help
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: connect with you guys even more for next season. If
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: we lose TikTok, make sure you guys go over to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: the Instagram and the YouTube so that way you can
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: still keep up with the clips and everything. And I
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: love getting to talk to you guys in the comments
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: about that. And then also, well you know what, I'm
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: gonna save this next little bit for next week so
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: that you guys have actually listen.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: So one thing I wanted to talk about.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: But I do want to say I we I'll speak
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: for all of us when I say that this is
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: a little inside baseball. When we talked about doing this
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: pod in the Instagram page before the season started, I
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: think we were all in a place where it was like,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: we really don't have the time to put a bunch
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: of work into something, and so I was like, well,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: let's just do an Instagram page, and we just kind
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: of like let people chop up with our draft. And
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: PD really pushed hard to do the podcast, and he
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: really took the flag. He does all the editing, he
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: puts in a lot of hours, he watches every episode twice,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: he takes detailed notes like he really is the driving
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: force behind this podcast. And so thanks to PD's hard
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: work into even making us do the podcast in the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: first place, because I was like, I don't have time
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: to do a podcast, but I'm really really glad I did.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: And I've been having a great time this season. Thank
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: you all for listening. Thank you PD for for making
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: this happen. And also, Jonathan, you suck dude so hard.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I was trying, so I was.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: I was ready for a thank you, but you know.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you for what you said about me, Chase. I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: appreciate all this stuff you said about me. I was
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: very kind.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Oh man, So well, guys, some things don't change over
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: this season.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: You know, work on it. I will give Jonathan a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: compliment because I felt like I needed to end it
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: on a bit and not with sincerity, but I will say, Jonathan,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: You've done a great job cultivating the community over on TikTok.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Look, I just, uh, what can I say? I'm really
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: good at cultivating things that never make it to the end.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: That's what. Uh, that's what you know.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: TikTok's about to be asked before it wins and is successful,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: just like all of my contestants that I draft.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and one thing about Jonathan to give Jonathan
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: some praise, he I think it was a round of
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: the podcast. Yeah, around episode three or four, Jonathan called me.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I think he facetimed me like three different times that day,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: and he was like, all right, so I got us
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, I got us on this platform. I got
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: us on this platform.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: Oh that's true.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I forgot about Jonathan just went crazy one day and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: put us up everywhere.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, give me that RSS feed and I
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: just took it, and I thought, if we're gonna be podcasting,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: it's gotta be everywhere. And I just had a what
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: can I say, I hyper fixated for a moment and
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: just started copying and pasting RSS feeds. So yeah, that's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: that's what I love. But looks since we're all saying
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: sweet and nice things. I'll keep this very short. I've
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: had so much fun doing this. I can't wait to
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: keep on doing this. I'm excited for more that we
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: have planned.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: P D.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the work you're putting in. And Chase,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know, thanks for like, I guess kind of
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: doing something. What do you what do you do?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Oh? You know all of those viral clips that we have?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: just I just blank out whenever I start watching them.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Chase makes all those clips while he's supposed to be working. Yeah,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: that's yeah.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: But actually, a huge shout out to Chase for shouting
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: us out on your YouTube channel on a massive video
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: for you, because that also boosted what what can we say, guys,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: it's a group effort and uh, we're just we're very
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: thankful for each other. And now we're gonna stop being
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: nice and hopefully we can get Kristen for more than
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: like five minutes an episode in the future. I agree
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: because she was a pivotal part of this draft. You know,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: That's what I say.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if Kristin would have won this season?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Like, oh uh, there was one more topic I wanted
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: to get to about the season as a whole. And
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: it's something that Jonathan had brought up in the previous
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: episode that I edited out because I did not want
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: to bring any attention to this. It's the Rome scandal.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, dude, the room skin. I brought this up
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: and then it was confirmed, right, yes, like he actually
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: he actually leaked.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he got one, like he got like six
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and seven mixed up. But the rest were like dead
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: on as far as who went home. Let's explain what
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: this is to anybody who hasn't heard, because like we've
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: made sure not to talk about it. I'm sure a
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: lot of other people have as well, because spoilers suck.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: But Rome went on an exit interview and he was
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: supposed to do word association and they're like, hey, so
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: we got a list and he's like, you know what,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I'll do my own list, and then he proceeds to
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: list off like the boot order. Yeah, for the last
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: half of the season.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: A crazy move, especially for somebody who says, yeah, I
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: want to co host on the Survivor podcast with Jeff
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: next season. You're like, that's a quick way to not
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: get invited to do that. Ye, Like to spoil the
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: whole season. Dude, It's crazy to me. That just shows
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: that Rome is just as rogue in real life.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: Is there a way, like where can I find this online? Like,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: where have you guys been seeing this?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I watched the actual video. Yeah, the whole interview is
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: posted on YouTube.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: Oh okay, I watched a clip of it on TikTok,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 8: I think, but I saw it pop up and immediately
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 8: saw the caption where it was like Rome spoils and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 8: I was like, no, I'm out and just ran away.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: Everyone's talking about how Room's about to get sued by CBS.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, I think he should, because I honestly signed
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: something after that happened. I would see in comment sections
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: being like Rachel wins, Rome said it like Rome spoiled it,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Rachel wins, And then I had to stop even looking
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: at comment sections. Yeah about Survivor for a little bit.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I I was very cautious after finding
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: out that I didn't get it spoiled except by PD so.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty wild. What a what a terrible decision,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: What a.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Terrible person, because like at least he was like kind
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: of entertaining as a bad guy before, but now it's
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, you're actually a piece of.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Being a jerk. Yeah, dude, it's so annoying. But you know,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: he didn't spoil our fun. We we made it happen.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: And Chase, Uh, you're you're a winner.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: I am, and uh, I guess I guess I'll be
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: getting my trophy and then I'll I'm gonna be working
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: on the the Letterman jacket. Yeah Christmas. Christmas is kind
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: of time. Yeah, but I'm gonna make the Letterman jacket,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: and uh, we'll post pictures and stuff and we're gonna
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: we got a few more weeks of episode, so we'll
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: talk more about this stuff later. But yeah, super exciting.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Chase, how did it feel, just as our last thing
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: for this episode? How did the moment that you realize
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: she was the winner? How did it feel?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: Dude? I was like I was screaming on my couch.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, let's blink and go, Like I was
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: just saying that over. I was just extremely hype. Uh,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: there was a I will say I was pretty confident
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: she was going to win the past two episodes, but
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: I got really nervous. Yeah, I got really nervous close
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: to the final tribal because I was like, what if
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: Sam wins? And then when it actually happened, I felt
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: like this giant sense of relief, a ton of excitement,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of pride because, uh, what a season to win,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just like we've talked about. It was the
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: first ever podcast last season, so we got to document
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: every step of the way your journey.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: And I mean, this is the first time I had
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: someone in the final three, let alone.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Win besides the first time because when it was just the.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: Two of us. Yeah, but even then I only had
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: one and you had the other two.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: You had Heidi and Carolyn, but Carolyn was a zero vote.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: You're right, You're right, man, that's crazy. That feels like
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: so long ago. And then I also when Saul got eliminated,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: I really at that point I wasn't sure Rachel had
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: it in or so I really thought my season was
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: over before we even got to the final six. So
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: the the changing of emotions, Wow, man, really got what
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: a craziest. I had a ton of fun doing this.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: I had a ton of fun watching and I'm really
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: glad I won.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Last note. Last note is Salt was indeed wearing another
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: vest without another shirt under it.
• 1:10:56
