  Speaker 1: What a pink substance! This is Making the Merge. We
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: can very well win this thing. I'm a dog person now.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I'm making the f * * * ing merge, baby!
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: If your dog was sick, I'd say, I'm coming over.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'd crack open a coconut and eat.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: It and cheer for you. You're either in or you're not.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Big mistake.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It's not about the million dollars.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: All I want to do is win a million hearts.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hearts, hearts, hearts, hearts, hearts, hearts, hearts. Welcome to the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: first ever three-person Making the Merge draft.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We've never done it before. That's not true. We've done two.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We've done four. We've never done three.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We've lost.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We've lost a couple people over the years.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Both of them married to each other. Jonathan and Kristen
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: both have wins.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm joined.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: They both have....
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Kristen. Jesus. Who is that?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's just some random sound.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's okay, dude. That didn't sound like
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a chorus effect. What was I saying?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Jonathan and Chris. Kristen had two wins in our draft.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Jonathan had one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Chase has one. Bran has won. Chase has been around
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: from the beginning, so he shouldn't only have won. Bran
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: has not been here very long. He got to win quickly.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not good at this. That's true. I did win,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: didn't I?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have three wins because I'm the best
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: at this.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of people say my win, it's like the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: championship in the NBA bubble. It's like, does it really count? Right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: does it really count because we knew that Savannah was
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: going to be in 15? So you're hungry to prove yourself.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm hungry to prove that that was not a fluke.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that I can win a normal, regular season of making
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the merch.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Now, if I win this year, does it not count
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: because we're down to three people? No, no, no, this counts.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: This counts more than ever. This is full-bodied.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this counts more than ever. I would say probably
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the biggest wins we've had so far... PD winning 50
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: was a big one. That's a big accolade.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: 50 is the biggest.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: That's a big accolade because we all knew all the players.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And y'all all shit on me for Aubrey for like
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: half of the season.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But then I tried to trade all my players.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You didn't come around. There was a click. There was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a switch that happened. Yeah. Whenever a player gets super depressed,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like episode two... Something to keep an eye on. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a signal. They're either going to crash out quick and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they're going to be gone next episode or they're going
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to make it all the way.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So while we're drafting today, we need to keep in
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mind who's the kind of person who would get depressed
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: around episode two and turn it all around.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: What is that? Four days into the game? Yeah. Guys,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I'm bad at this. Historically. Notorious.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: The only time I've ever won, I accidentally won. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: didn't even want Rachel. I just got stuck with Rachel.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been drafting since season 40, 44, and Chase.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Only has one win. Were you high? Was anybody high
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: on Rachel heading into that season?
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. She didn't get much screen time
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: until Merge. I know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It was very fascinating, but what I say, I'm bad
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at this.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: She was a third round pick. We didn't think Rachel
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: was going to go far.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I'm bad at this, so I've changed up my strategy
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: because I am.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: A new Chase. I'm enlightened. You're enlightened, Chase. New Chase,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: new strap.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, and so what I've done is I've actually, if
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you watched our preseason extravaganza episode, you'll know that I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: looked into the Zodiac sign.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Of every player.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chase took it very seriously. Did a lot of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: hard work.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say this now because you guys don't know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: but I did some research. I found the Zodiac sign
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: for every winner. in Survivor history, I found which Zodiac
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: has the most wins, and.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And that's how you're doing your draft.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: And there's only one person on this season that's that
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: same Zodiac sign, and that's who I'm drafting first. So
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: let's spin this wheel and find out if the universe
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is on my side.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I hope that you get the number one pick, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: then you have to draft Rob or something.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I hope they're the first boot, honestly. With a pink substance!
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Jax asked me if I was nervous about this, like
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: following up my big win at 50. And I'm like, no,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: all the pressure's off.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's true. Why?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I just won the Super Bowl. I'm going to do
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: my best to win this one. But it's kind of like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing, PD. If you win this one.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, you'll go down as the greatest of all time.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like I kind of need one
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of y'all to win it because then I'll be hungrier
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the next time around.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So you're just giving up? No, I'm not giving up.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I want to win. I'm going to try.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But I just think narrative-wise, I think I might try
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: harder for 52.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Now, there's only three of us. Right. So we get
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: seven players each. We get seven players. This is the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: first time drafting before the season because mathematically we were
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: able to.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That means one of us is drafting the first booth.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And it's historically going to be me. I did it
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: last season.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Chase, are you playing to win or are you playing
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to not lose? Will you be happy with second place?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No, I want to win. I want to win so bad.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: With four people, second place was something that you could
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: kind of hang your hat on.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: With three, not so much. Here's the thing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I just got a text that said, poor PD.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: When he walked in the house, I screamed. She does
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that a lot. She was like, what are y'all doing
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: out here? What was I saying?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, it doesn't sit right with me that out of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the three of us that are on this show, most
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of the wins aren't even.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Here anymore.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I have three of them, and y'all both have one.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: There are three wins for former hosts of the show.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that have retired.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We only have one win each.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: We need to boost our numbers.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagine PD wins this season. Anybody but PD.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: If PD wins this season, what would that be?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Four wins for you?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Four wins. We'll probably have to just hang it up.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It would take us three seasons.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: In order for us to even tie with him.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I've been good at the way we've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: done it. Right, this is different.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: 50 was a little different, but I had tape, extensive
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: amount of tape and interviews of all these people.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did talk about it a little bit in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the preview show, but this is the first time drafting
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: with literally no game tape. I've never been this blind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in a draft before. We haven't seen anybody at Tribal.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We haven't seen anybody do a challenge. We've seen a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: couple of clips of people jumping off a boat, but
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: how much is there to tell from that? Right, we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: didn't even get the Mike Bloom interview. Which sucks. Got nothing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So it's like really a toss-up this season. Except for me,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: because I know they're Zodiacs.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated at what that Zodiac sign is and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: who it is. But let's go ahead and spin that wheel.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You might think I'm checked out, but I need to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: point out before we start, I'm not nervous. I'm extremely confident,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: because I did a pink substance before I got here.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, now let's spin it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: See, here's the thing, man. Here's the thing. When a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: pink substance.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Petey has started the season off by going, oh, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: don't even care. So that way if he wins, it
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: looks effortless. And if he loses, oh, it's whatever. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: just came off of a historic 50 win.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I asked Chase if he's playing to win or to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: not lose. Are you playing to not lose? I'm always
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: playing to win.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Will you be okay with second place instead of third?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Because second place is okay if there's four people. Now
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that there's three people, second place doesn't feel as good.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's like you're almost a loser. I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it will depend on how close two and three are.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Like if third place is Chase and he loses his
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: first seven players in seven weeks, that's a different level.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's a different level of third place. And now it's super.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Embarrassing if you don't have somebody in the final three.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I've always had one player at least in the final three.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's true. I rarely do. That'll be an interesting bet
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: for the folks on Cal sheet. Will we each have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: one person represented in final three? What do you think?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You're going no? I'm going no. Yeah. I bet PD
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: has all three.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That would be amazing. That's when we end the show.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I really might quit.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I came close last season.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I really might quit if something like that happened.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see what happens.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Spin that wheel. Spin that wheel. The first drafter.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Brand.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Brand gets a draft first. That's awesome.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Every time we've done a wheel, Chase has been last.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: We did not do a wheel for 50, and Chase
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: got the first pick. So will it happen again? I.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's already been well documented that
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I am very high on jelly. I think jelly is...
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the perfect survivor player going into it. So you're, she's saying,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm picking jelly.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: She's, she says all the right things. She has a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: great energy about her. I got it. I'll write it down. Um,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but I'm going jelly with the number one overall pick
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in the making the merge season 51.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I think the sociology thing is very strong.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: And that is like reason alone to pick her in
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: that high of a spot.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That's a first. That's a really good first. She seems
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: very likable.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: It would be really frustrating if I draft last and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: someone drafts my Zodiac player.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be furious.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Well, let's find out. Spin that wheel.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Give it to me. No,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: give it to me. Yes! Fuck.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah!
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Finally, the streak is broken! All right, so you're about
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to tell us your big news.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Guys, I'm so excited to tell you about this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Who did the stars decide will win this season?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Capricorns. Your boy! Have the most winners with nothing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Nine now that's interesting nine survivor winners out of.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: 50 now i've always been like i don't know if
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: i have what it takes to win survivor but you've
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: just given me my last nudge i'm gonna sir i'm
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: gonna i'm gonna apply do.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: It there is only one capricorn On this cast.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And who is it? Well, actually, there might be two
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: because no one can find Maggie's birthday. That's crazy. So
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: if Maggie is a Capricorn, then I've messed up.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: But the one Capricorn on this season, Ori.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, wow. Ori in the first round. We usually don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: take the big physical threats that early. But the stars
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: told Chase.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He had to. Now, can I ask you this? Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: How do you honestly feel about Ori? With your first pick.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have made that pick if I did not feel.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But you are leaning all the way in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I do think that it's fun that he's the only
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Capricorn that has the most winners. But I will say,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I'm big on him for.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Basically, when he said the thing about wanting to work
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: with the women of Survivor because they traditionally win, they've
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: won like five of the last seven seasons.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, he.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Obviously knows the game. And that makes me feel, he
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: could be a more competent Q.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: And that makes me feel good because who caught on
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to that quicker than anybody in our draft?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I like Ori for that reason.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: All right, let's spin the wheel one last time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Spin that wheel.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Who's it going to be? Oh, I hope it's P.D., Oh,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I hope it is. It is me again. No, it's me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: All right, PD, who are you taking?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I get the person that I wanted in this spot.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And that is the Canadian voice.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Actress, Anna.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I'm taking Strawberry Shortcake first overall. I really like her personality,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and I think she's going to be good at this game.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Very good. We're snaking it?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. So I get the next one, too. God.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. Let me look at
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that cast list. She's also right behind you. Everything's right
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: behind you as well.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to close my eyes and point to one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: That'd be a fun way to do that. That'd be
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: so funny.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: This shows you how little thought I put into it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: He's just rubbing it in our faces, Bran.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: You know what? Linnea. Wow. That's a good pick. That's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a good pick, yes. Our sex shop owner. That's right.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to send Jax there to do an
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: investigative report.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe Jax and Justin. A woman on the street interview.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: So then does it go to me then?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: That does go to you. Okay, this is cool. This
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: is cool. I'm going to pick someone that I like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: It's a risky pick because I don't know how well
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: they'll do. But I'm going to take the risk here.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Lewis.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: He is like, he's like Christian. If he wasn't a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: nerd Christian in the, the sense that I think he's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: so likable.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It's a problem, but you don't see it as a problem.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I just, there's, it's been a while since a truly
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: chaotic player has won. And I just feel like maybe
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: it's time the open era. They've really leaned into the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: twists of this season. And I've been keeping this to myself.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I think they might do a final two instead of
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: a final three this season.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You think so? It is the open era. Anything's on
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the fucking table. Anything's on the table.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: And I think that they've really been emphasizing that for
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: this season particularly, starting off with two tribes, even though
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Jeff has made it clear he does not like starting
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: with two tribes.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Jeff is just wrong about that. Yeah, he is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Some things are a little like, okay, you can think that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Two tribes is... Absolutely better.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And this season's going to be better because of it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But the final two is a problem for a lot
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: of seasons. And if they do not, if they are
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: all planning for a final three, that's fair. And they're
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: taking chaos with them to the final three. And then
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: it's a final two and it's Lewis and someone who,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: who burned the jury. Lewis could win it all.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. So I'm just, okay. He's a wild card.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I think that they would have to, unless Lewis becomes
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a challenge beast later on in the season, he'd have
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to basically win out in my mind, like starting with like,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: six or five people left. I think at that point
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: people start voting them out. Like, yeah, I think, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: think you just have to be careful.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I said as a risk, it's a risk. All right. Um,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I get to go next. I am going with, I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: going Carter. With my number two pick.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I really wanted him, man. I almost took him instead
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: of Lewis.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I really like Carter. I think he is a great
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like every man, but is also really bright, really sharp
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and could go very far. And I get to go again,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: which I really like because I am picking Kristen with
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: my number three pick. Where's Kristen at? Where's Kristen at?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: He's on the right-hand side. Right there. Right there. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: got a couple of brainiacs over here. I got a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: couple of people that can really get into your psyche.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going, Kristen, with number three. Okay. I like it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: So then that goes to me.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Okay. You didn't see that coming.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's throwing me off with just having three of
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: us here. I feel like I've taken two guys. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: need to take a female contestant.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I really wanted Linnea. So that's a bummer. I'm going
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: to take Pat.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the Jag.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: The first woman in her family.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: The first woman in her family. The first woman in
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: my draft.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a clip. That's the clip I needed to pull.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I just like her name.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Pat Canaday.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It feels like she should be a news anchor.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that does feel like a news anchor.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I'm Pat Canaday, and here's all the people who got murdered.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: All right, PD. I'm back up. Let's see who we
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: got here. I do love that Chase finally doesn't get
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to pick last, but because there's only three of us,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it feels like you are constantly waiting the longest.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Because we're getting our snakes. Because we're sandwiched in between snakes. Okay,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: so I got another snake here.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, who am I going.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: To go with?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Some interesting choices first. I'm going to start with Tanan.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that pick.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I want the horned frog, and then I want the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: child of Joe and Devin's.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Give me Devin.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Give me gay surf week in Costa Rica.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: All right. That's back to you, Chase.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Dang.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Back to me. There's someone that's calling to me. And
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: my body is saying, don't do it. But my heart
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: is saying, you gotta stick with your roots, Chase. I'm
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: going with the pro wrestler, Brady.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Brady Brody Bodie. Off the board.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And I actually do have a bit of a strategy
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: to this. I don't think it's a coincidence that Rizzo
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: has done so well in Survivor because he's a super
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: wrestling fan. I think that Wrestling and Survivor have a
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: lot of crossover for a reason. I think that he
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: could actually go really far.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, there were two actual WWE wrestlers on Survivor,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: now a third. And maybe he'll go the farthest out
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: of all of them. Because it's... It's Ashley Massaro, rest
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: in peace, and John Morrison. And don't forget that the man,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the myth, the legend himself wrestled for TNA as a manager.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Grandma. Grandma. I don't remember.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: The guy who said his grandma was dead. Announced Jonathan's
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: News last season for us. Lives in Jonathan's hometown.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, Johnny Fairplay. Thank you. Johnny Fairplay wrestled for TNA.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, I am going... I'm a little unsure now.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Jenna... our wedding photographer with
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the claws. I think that, uh, clearly she's a fan
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of the show, but also seems like she could be
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: fun and maybe not as imposing as some of the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: other people are. And then I'm going to take a
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: flyer here. Um, Yeah, I'm going to go for it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to draft Kilby. I'm going to draft Kilby.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that. I'm not sure if the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Super Fandom, the Brainiac game developer, is going to play
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in his favor or against him, but I think it's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: worth it with a fifth player, right? Yeah. Just go
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: with Kilby. So, yeah. All right. That's back to you, Chase. Awesome. Okay.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Do you want me to give you the rundown of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: who's still on? Yeah, why don't we... Yeah, so here
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is who is still on the board. We have Alexis.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: We have Aliyah. We have Eric. Sharonda. Maggie. Rob. Christian.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: With a pink substance. Christian. And Mike. Hmm.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I need.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I need another female. What a pink substance. Remind me
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit about Alexis. Who is Alexis again? I'm having.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Wasn't she one of your players to preview?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But anyway. Shows how much.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Work Chase did.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I know her sign, her Zodiac sign. During the blind draft,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I drafted her.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Was she the photographer?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: No, no. I already drafted the photographer. That was Jenna, yeah.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I was high on Alexis in the blind draft. Oh, Atlanta.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: She's the criminal defense attorney from Atlanta. Yeah. What was
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: her fun fact that she said in the video? I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: don't know. Okay. Okay. I'm going to take Alexis. Fair enough.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Is it because you feel bad about that you were
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: supposed to research her and didn't?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I did.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: There was nothing for the people I was supposed to get.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I could have read you the same things that were
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: in the parade article, but you guys read the parade article.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let me
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: just give you a second of Alexis. Maybe this will
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: remind us of who she is. Maybe.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: No?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: In Survivor, I came here to win, and that's what
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do. Before Survivor starts, people should know
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: that I have been sober for 10 years. Back home,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: I have my husband and my daughter, who is 14
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: months old. I am in a period of my life
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: where all I care about is my family and our future. Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I feel good about this. I feel good about my pick.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: She's going to be playing. She's playing for her family. Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And their future. All right. I like that. All right, PD.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Woo.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Let me turn back to the monitor.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So as you can see. We've got two more. Yes. Aliyah, Eric.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Fuck you.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: You're on the Yankees.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Gosh.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm trying to remember. Maggie's still available? You previewed Maggie.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: You know what? She could be a Capricorn. You know what?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Since I got two left. Give me Sharonda and Aaliyah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And Aaliyah. Yep.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: That's a good pick. I almost took Aaliyah instead of Alexis.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: What was Aaliyah's deal?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Was she mine? I think she was. She's like a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: bold personality. She's a Taurus. She's a Taurus. She's a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: metal snake. No, I didn't have Aliyah. I did. Oh, great.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I just told you everything you need to know about her. Okay,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: fair enough.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chase had her, so it means we know nothing
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: about her. But I think she's a strong personality. She
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: has two A's in her name. And who else is
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a strong personality?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Arne Anderson. Double A. All right, whose turn is it?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It's yours. Okay, my turn. I'm going to be taking... Mike. Oh,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: New York Yankees.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Now, what's interesting about this is I watched a YouTube
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: video from Idled Out. He's a Survivor YouTuber. And he
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: did his season 51, like, power rankings. And he actually
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: picked Mike as his winner pick.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Now, I took a lot of stock in that because
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, this guy's obviously very intelligent. So then
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I was like, but wait. Who did he think was
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: going to win in previous seasons? I went back to 48.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: He was so off. I mean, he was so incredibly wrong.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Do you know who he picked for 48?
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Do you remember? Do you remember when I said Bran?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: We were talking about before PD got here. Oh, it was, gosh,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: what was her name? No. It was someone who was
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: gone immediately. Not first out, but within the first few weeks. Yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I can't remember her name. In 48?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: So this is a risk, but since that guy saw
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: something in Mike and he's still available to draft, maybe
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: it's a sign from Saturn that I'm supposed to pick him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Mike is off the board.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: All right. These are my last two, right? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I am drafting Eric. All right, so that means Will.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Our vampire, Will, will be locking in with you.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Will, come on over. And I think I'm
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: going for it. I think I'm doing it. Someone has
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to do it. Why the heck not me? What a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: pink substance. I'm going, Rob. I want to be able
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to cheer for him. I don't want Rob.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: There's a new Boston Rob in town, okay?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: His name is Rob. Antonson.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Antonson.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Rob A. Rob A. Rob A. I like that. Oh, man.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: All right. Two more picks left. Christian still on the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: board and Maggie still on the board. It goes to Chase.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: So Christian and Maggie?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Christian and Maggie. Christian with the laugh. Maggie with the overalls. Okay.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: So this is interesting here because Christian could be a Mitch, right?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: where he goes way farther than you think.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: He's going to go.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But remember, we're not playing for fars. We're playing for wins.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I don't want Christian. I think he's going to be
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the first boot. I'm going with Maggie.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, first boot is dependent on so many factors
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that are out of their control.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong. He could be a Mitch and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: make it super far into the game.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So you're taking Maggie?
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And that means I have Christian?
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And that's the last option?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. That means my team is Jelly, Carter, Kristen, Jenna, Kilby, Eric, Rob. Boy,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that's a strong team, fellas. I guess. I don't know
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: these people. We really don't know. I don't know these
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: people at all.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: But my team's a strong team because it's full of women.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's true. Chase has Ori, Lewis, Pats with two Ts, Brady, Alexis, Mike,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and Maggie. I feel good about my team.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Even if they don't do well, I think I'm going
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: to like them, and I'll be okay with rooting for them.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would never say something like that. That's loser speak.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: You're the one that gave up at the beginning. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: never gave up.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: He gave up.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I never gave up. And PD has Anna, our strawberry shortcake. Mm-hmm. Lenia,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: our sex shop owner. Nice. Tian, Devin, Sharonda. Tanon. Tanon.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: What did I say?
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Tian?
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So stupid. I hate myself.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: God, dude.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Sharonda. Sharonda, Aaliyah, and Christian. I'm excited about my squad.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I have no idea who ended up with the best draft.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: There's really no way for us to know.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is so crazy. Until week one or two. Now,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: let me ask you guys this. What are your thoughts on...
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I know we batted it around last season. What are
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: our thoughts on traits? I think trades are interesting now
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that there's three of us and that we're drafting ahead
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of time.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: But there has to be like a strict deadline that's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: early in the season.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's like by week two. Week two. I think.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: So after we watch the first episode, we can make
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: some trades.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Do you want to implement an official trade?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: We can make trades on episodes one and two. Okay,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: trade deadline? On the show. After episode two. On the show.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: We can't talk about it off air. Got to bring it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: You had to bring it up on air.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: On air and decide by.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: And this doesn't mean it's going to happen.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Because I don't foresee a world where someone is like, hey,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I really want your player.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: And then you're like, well, no, it's my player. I'm
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: not giving it to you.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Like when Bran tried to take... Aubrey in exchange for
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: his entire team now let's.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Add some rules to it I don't I don't think
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: we should be able to trade future draft capital I
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: think there's just too much uncertainty I think it has
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to be players for players yeah but I I am
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: personally fine with if you want to give up two
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: of your players for one of them one that's a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: risk that you can take what do you guys think
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Should we throw it out there to the patrons and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: let them decide, and then we'll give a full rundown?
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll put a vote up. So we're going to
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: put a poll up on the Patreon as this episode airs.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: If you're one of our patrons, you can vote for
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: how that works. I guess the options will be no trading,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: trading just players, individual.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: One-to-one.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: One-to-one, or trading as many players.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: As you want to.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as you want.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's actually ever going to happen.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I can't because I immediately foresee a world where I
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: lose two players in the first episode and I go, hey, PD,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: what can I give you for Aaliyah? And he'll say,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: I'll take three of your players for Aaliyah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: And I would have to go, no.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going to be easy to negotiate
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: with me.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I know. I kind of like it, though.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It throws a little bit of a curveball. Especially with
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: us not seeing any play. Yeah, for sure. I think
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: once we've watched episode one and two, it is enough to...
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: inform what we would have done. Start to read the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: tea leaves a little bit. Read the tea leaves and
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: decide where to go from there. Just leave the reading
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of the tea leaves to me. Absolutely. You're a new man.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: You're a new man. I'm enlightened. We did it. Yes,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: this is our draft. Woo! Survivor 51 premiering next Wednesday.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Whales, whales everywhere.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And we will be back the next day, basically.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Recapping this sucker. So come on back for that. Join
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the Patreon.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: And if you want to lock in with one of
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the teams, you got to join the Patreon to do that.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Lock in. Okay, bye. Bye. This is making the merch.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have the other one. This is making the merch.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Doing my best cigarette radio voice.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Good enough. There we go. Goodbye. You're about to hear
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: some ads that help keep the lights on here in
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the old studio. Thanks for listening or don't listen. It's
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: really up to you at this point. It's at the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: end of the show. I mean, you're listening to me. Hi,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but here they come. I promise they're coming.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Here they are. Happy day.
