- 0:39Speaker 1: Then Peter said, let's just do it live. Yeah, you

- 0:51Speaker 4: of Janet. Yeah, Janet was disappointed in us not having
- 0:55Speaker 4: the sanctuary, So we were bringing it back for the
- 0:58Speaker 4: last week of the season, and you know, there's a
- 1:02Speaker 4: lot we could talk about. There's a really big episode
- 1:05Speaker 4: coming up. Oh yeah, and so there's there's so much
- 1:07Speaker 4: to discuss there with season fifty and everything. But I thought,
- 1:11Speaker 4: what if instead we check in with our good friend
- 1:16Speaker 4: Big Tom.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Let's do it.
- 1:18Speaker 4: So a couple of days ago, I got on YouTube
- 1:21Speaker 4: and there was this random news report that wherever Tom lives,
- 1:25Speaker 4: the local news station. They're like, hey, you know Survivor,
- 1:28Speaker 4: it's wrapping up season fifty.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Tom's in our town.
- 1:32Speaker 4: What if we just talked to Tom and they did
- 1:35Speaker 4: about four minutes and we're going to listen to.
- 1:37Speaker 1: The whole thing.
- 1:39Speaker 6: The hit CBS show Survivor is celebrating its fiftieth season.
- 1:44Speaker 6: Casey caught up with one of the early stars of
- 1:46Speaker 6: the show, Southwest Virginia native Big Tom Buchanan.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Casey Sarah first Top. Big Tom still has that same
- 1:53Speaker 3: big personality even twenty years after his time.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Okay, before we get into the rest of it, I
- 1:58Speaker 4: just want to say, the juxtaposition between this guy speaking
- 2:01Speaker 4: the way that he does in the news reporter voice
- 2:04Speaker 4: and then him talking to Big Tom, it gets It's
- 2:07Speaker 4: very different.
- 2:08Speaker 1: It's very funny time on Survivor.
- 2:11Speaker 3: We talked about the imports of his farm and hometown
- 2:14Speaker 3: and family and some of the best memories he has
- 2:17Speaker 3: from his time on Survivor and the superstardom that came
- 2:20Speaker 3: with it. From a front porch rocking chair at a
- 2:24Speaker 3: home he grew up in Rich Valley, Virginia, Tom Buchanan,
- 2:28Speaker 3: or Big Tom, as he has known to millions, recalls
- 2:31Speaker 3: his early days.

- 2:54Speaker 4: was raining, but we were playing on the porch.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's a good porch.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Yeah, made it decision that would change Big Tom forever.
- 3:03Speaker 2: My wife was a big fan of Survivor. She she's

- 4:13Speaker 2: gonna do our thing.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Big Tom bu can and did.
- 4:17Speaker 4: He didn't acknowledge basically anything he said. It's just Big
- 4:21Speaker 4: Tom was like, I'm gonna do my thing, and I
- 4:23Speaker 4: just said do my thing. Yes, After basically everything he

- 5:17Speaker 3: He was also a Survivor All Star. Commercials for the
- 5:21Speaker 3: show earned him a cabin, which sits high on the

- 6:01Speaker 3: to Rich Valley, Virginia.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I've been to Africa. I've been to just everywhere. But

- 6:17Speaker 5: been I've been to Africa. I've been everywhere, just everywhere.
- 6:22Speaker 5: He's been to Africa, but in his mind that's everywhere.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I think he also went to New York or l
- 6:29Speaker 4: A for the hour. So he's been to New York
- 6:32Speaker 4: in Africa.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Did they do the Life in Alle season three? Yeah?
- 6:35Speaker 1: They did, but I don't.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Think Jeff was the host yet, or maybe he was
- 6:38Speaker 5: the host for starting in. One of the smart people
- 6:41Speaker 5: in the chat will let.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Us know I'm finished fourth, he says he did much
- 6:46Speaker 3: better than.
- 6:47Speaker 1: That, doing everything I've got to do.
- 6:49Speaker 4: I couldn't say.
- 6:51Speaker 3: In Rich Valley, Virginia, Casey Marler News Channel eleven, what
- 6:56Speaker 3: a report.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I love having that pop up in my algorithm. Yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 1: that was aware.
- 7:01Speaker 4: So what does Big Tom think? Well, I listened to that.
- 7:05Speaker 4: I don't know what Big Tom thinks.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Big I don't think Big Tom knows what Big Tom thinks.
- 7:10Speaker 1: No, he might not, But at least we know that
- 7:13Speaker 1: Lex is starting to do pretty good. He's doing he's
- 7:15Speaker 1: doing things, he's getting he's starting to get good at it.
- 7:18Speaker 1: He's doing to getting good. I don't know what he
- 7:20Speaker 1: was talking about with the women. Yeah, he's out that
- 7:23Speaker 1: doing them women. So good to hear from Big Time. Yeah, man, which.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Season three doesn't get talked about enough. No, or at
- 7:33Speaker 5: least not in our circles. Fellas, by the time you're
- 7:36Speaker 5: twenty six. You should be talking about Survivor Africa.
- 7:41Speaker 4: You should be Let's talk about somebody who people don't
- 7:46Speaker 4: want to hear from as much as they want to
- 7:48Speaker 4: hear from Big Tom.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Oh. We about to play another sound.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Yeah, so the cans are gonna have to come back
- 7:52Speaker 4: on because we're going to be playing a clip. This
- 7:56Speaker 4: is a clip that I grabbed from the secret scene
- 7:59Speaker 4: that was deleted from It was the scene was just
- 8:03Speaker 4: them reading tree mail and kind of just saying run
- 8:06Speaker 4: of the mill stuff before they did the challenge running
- 8:10Speaker 4: up that mill.
- 8:12Speaker 1: The challenge is at this point is the only guarantee
- 8:16Speaker 1: you have to get to the end.
- 8:17Speaker 2: There's then theory there's three more challenges incoting today.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Well, I mean think about it.
- 8:23Speaker 2: If you went out, you got a.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Set a final three.
- 8:26Speaker 7: So if you're not thinking that's a big deal, you're mistaken.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Why did this vital information get cut from the episode?
- 8:36Speaker 5: So basically what Joe just said was, man, if you
- 8:40Speaker 5: win all of the challenges, then.
- 8:43Speaker 1: You don't go home. Mm hmm. Joe he's starting to
- 8:46Speaker 1: figure out the game he is.
- 8:49Speaker 4: And if you're sitting there thinking like, oh, that's so obvious,
- 8:53Speaker 4: Like why would you even say that it's because you're
- 8:56Speaker 4: not really thinking about it. If you were really thinking
- 8:58Speaker 4: about it, about it, then you'd be saying, if you
- 9:02Speaker 4: think about it, if you went out, you're safe until
- 9:06Speaker 4: the end, you got.
- 9:07Speaker 1: A spot in the final three. If you went out
- 9:08Speaker 1: and you gotta really think about that, you got to
- 9:10Speaker 1: think about it. You're thinking about it. I'm thinking about it.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I thought there were them women, man, who were thinking
- 9:16Speaker 1: about it out there with the women. And then my
- 9:18Speaker 1: wife and you put in my obligations. She said you
- 9:20Speaker 1: can do it, and I said I can do it. Well, yeah,
- 9:22Speaker 1: I can do it. All you got news camp out.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Yeah, he went pretty far that season, if I remember correctly,
- 9:28Speaker 5: he was well.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Liked, and by the looks of it, he's slimmed down
- 9:32Speaker 4: a bit. Yeah in that in that interview, and so
- 9:35Speaker 4: what I'm thinking is should have cast him instead of Joe?
- 9:40Speaker 1: Oh Man? How old is Big Tom? Now? Did they
- 9:42Speaker 1: too old to be? I mean, you listen to that interview, right, Alex.
- 9:46Speaker 5: Wants to know why we think Joe is blocking everyone
- 9:49Speaker 5: on Instagram. Do you have a theory, because I have
- 9:51Speaker 5: a theory.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to talk about y'all. We need I
- 9:55Speaker 1: think we need to talk about it.
- 9:56Speaker 4: If this was a clickbait YouTube channel, we would have
- 9:59Speaker 4: a video titled we need to talk about the Joe's situation.
- 10:02Speaker 5: Yeah, this Joe situation is insane.
- 10:06Speaker 4: Yeah, he's blocking everybody. I think what he's going through
- 10:10Speaker 4: is pretty tough. Do you feel bad for Joe at all?
- 10:14Speaker 1: No?
- 10:14Speaker 4: Do you think you should be able to take all
- 10:15Speaker 4: the criticism in stride and not have this kind of
- 10:19Speaker 4: blocking people and making these kind of videos.
- 10:21Speaker 5: The issue is he's blocking fellow castmates. My theory is
- 10:25Speaker 5: that there is some drama going on behind the scenes
- 10:29Speaker 5: with the cast mates, with the contestants in group chats.
- 10:32Speaker 5: I think people are talking mad shit about Joe. Huh,
- 10:35Speaker 5: Like I bet Tiff because Tiff got blocked. I would
- 10:39Speaker 5: imagine maybe Tiff said something to SuRie in a group
- 10:43Speaker 5: chat that also had Stephanie in it, and then so
- 10:46Speaker 5: Stephanie ran and told Colby, and then Colby told Joe
- 10:50Speaker 5: about how Tiff said that Joe was didn't deserve to
- 10:53Speaker 5: make it.
- 10:53Speaker 1: To the finals or whatever. You know, I just think
- 10:55Speaker 1: it's contestant drama. Is this all speculation? Yeah? Speculation. I
- 11:01Speaker 1: was about to say, do you have some info into
- 11:03Speaker 1: group chat Gate, No something. Is there some smoke to this?
- 11:06Speaker 1: I don't well. I've seen some.
- 11:08Speaker 5: People talking online about how there's been some drama. Who
- 11:12Speaker 5: was it someone's post interview with Mike Bloom They said
- 11:17Speaker 5: that there's all The live reunion.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Is going to be interesting because there's a lot of
- 11:19Speaker 1: drama behind the scenes that is interesting. I do.
- 11:22Speaker 4: I hope we get some kind of blow up at
- 11:24Speaker 4: the finale because that's what made those live finales so
- 11:27Speaker 4: much fun in the past, is the animosity?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? And does anybody feel bad for Joe? Yeah?
- 11:33Speaker 1: Let us know when the check Does anybody feel bad
- 11:34Speaker 1: for Joe? I feel a little bad for him. What
- 11:38Speaker 1: is there for him to eat? I don't understand why
- 11:40Speaker 1: he's upset.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Let's start there. Why do you feel bad for him?
- 11:43Speaker 5: Why is he upset?
- 11:45Speaker 4: I think I just I sympathize a little bit with
- 11:48Speaker 4: the position that he's in. What is that position where
- 11:52Speaker 4: you're on TV and everyone hates you?
- 11:55Speaker 1: But does everyone hate him? You know what I'm saying.
- 11:57Speaker 4: He's getting piled on on our show, on every show,
- 12:00Speaker 4: in every comment section, every video.
- 12:03Speaker 5: But what are we saying? What is everybody saying about him?
- 12:05Speaker 5: That he's a bad place, that.
- 12:06Speaker 4: He's a baby and he's boring and he sucks, Which
- 12:08Speaker 4: is that's okay?
- 12:12Speaker 5: He on TV where he is a character on this
- 12:15Speaker 5: TV show. Yeah, he is being portrayed as a big baby.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Does that mean that he is a big baby in
- 12:21Speaker 5: real life? No, But it's just like you know, any
- 12:26Speaker 5: other season.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Someone gets made fun of.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Yeah, look at jan Dre Jandre's getting made fun of,
- 12:31Speaker 5: like Joe. He's taking it in strife, He's not blocking
- 12:34Speaker 5: people on Instagram.
- 12:36Speaker 4: I think it's it's just a pretty intense situation for Joe,
- 12:41Speaker 4: specifically because the last thing that everybody saw was Joe
- 12:46Speaker 4: getting humiliated in the final Tribal, him getting deceived by
- 12:50Speaker 4: Camilla and Kyle, and he's having to process this, and
- 12:55Speaker 4: then as he's processing this, he you know, goes and
- 12:58Speaker 4: plays Survivor again. And his response to I think what
- 13:03Speaker 4: Camilla and Kyle did was to double down on the
- 13:06Speaker 4: loyalty and honor and be better at sniffing out somebody
- 13:09Speaker 4: who's going to betray him. And so he thinks he's,
- 13:12Speaker 4: you know, doing the right thing, and then everybody on
- 13:14Speaker 4: the internet is killing him for it.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Yeah, But also as people are saying in our chat
- 13:21Speaker 5: right now, there's a lot of the general audience, like
- 13:23Speaker 5: people that are watched on face like that are post
- 13:25Speaker 5: on Facebook about the show. They all love Joe, Like
- 13:29Speaker 5: most people that watch the show like Joe because of
- 13:31Speaker 5: the whole EVA thing last last time he played. It's
- 13:34Speaker 5: just the diehard Survivor fans that are typically pretty toxic anyway,
- 13:39Speaker 5: but this time it's just.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Kind of like, hey, man, you're It's just like what.
- 13:42Speaker 5: Seie told him, Why are you upset at Devn's we
- 13:46Speaker 5: were going to vote him out? Why are you upset
- 13:48Speaker 5: for him for fighting back? He looked like a brat. Yeah,
- 13:51Speaker 5: you just have to own that up and be like, yeah,
- 13:53Speaker 5: I was being a bit of a brat.
- 13:54Speaker 1: It could be an added element of Joe.
- 13:56Speaker 5: Might be in the final three and he's blocking people
- 14:00Speaker 5: because there's the added stress of him being like I
- 14:02Speaker 5: don't know if I want or not, and he's watching
- 14:05Speaker 5: the show and he's watching the edit and he's freaking out,
- 14:08Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Like when blocking people think is weird? It is, especially
- 14:11Speaker 1: when it's players, you played.
- 14:12Speaker 4: With players and people doing commentary on Survivor who like,
- 14:17Speaker 4: I don't know, there's no way tag.
- 14:19Speaker 1: With deserveth to be blocked.
- 14:22Speaker 4: There's no way that she was doing like a super
- 14:24Speaker 4: mean spirited video ripping it.
- 14:26Speaker 1: That's just not.
- 14:26Speaker 5: That's not she does no and she's a very positive
- 14:29Speaker 5: Survivor fan. There's no way that she said anything that
- 14:33Speaker 5: harsh that justifies Joe blocking her.
- 14:35Speaker 4: I mean blocking Kelly Wentworth and Tiffany I get that,
- 14:39Speaker 4: but tag with you can't block tag.
- 14:41Speaker 5: I don't even understand blocking tiff. It's like, what is
- 14:45Speaker 5: Tiff posting on Instagram that's upsetting you?
- 14:48Speaker 4: She posts her art projects. Maybe she was Maybe Joe
- 14:52Speaker 4: was triggered by the art.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think that he he, he does not
- 14:59Speaker 5: understand what.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Okay, I reversed my stance. I don't feel that you've
- 15:03Speaker 4: talked me out of feeling bad for Joe.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for Joe.
- 15:05Speaker 4: He has a show with Tyler Perry, He's been on
- 15:07Speaker 4: two seasons of Survivor.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I guess I can't feel bad for Joe.
- 15:10Speaker 5: And he was in the final three the last time
- 15:12Speaker 5: he played, which means he got a nice check and
- 15:14Speaker 5: he might be in the final he might win the
- 15:16Speaker 5: goddamn game.
- 15:17Speaker 1: PD. We don't know.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Maybe that's where we should transition into next But no,
- 15:22Speaker 4: we do know he's not winning the game, or I mean,
- 15:23Speaker 4: we don't know, but we know.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Then we talked about it a lot in the main
- 15:28Speaker 5: episode of Who we Think is Gonna Win?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Well, first, are you excited for the episode? Extremely? Okay,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I think a lot.
- 15:34Speaker 4: Of people after seeing the Final five and I'm not
- 15:37Speaker 4: in this camp right, I'm really excited for the finale too,
- 15:40Speaker 4: But I think a lot of people are like, Eh,
- 15:42Speaker 4: that's not what I was expecting. That's not what I wanted.
- 15:45Speaker 4: I don't like how the game's shaken out. You know, Well,
- 15:47Speaker 4: so this season sucks now.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Will said, The fan faves get final four a lot.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Yeah, which is why they had to introduce fire Making,
- 15:53Speaker 5: because they would make it to the Final four and
- 15:54Speaker 5: then get sent home before the Final three because no.
- 15:57Speaker 1: One wanted to go up against him.
- 15:58Speaker 4: And if you people, I don't know who I'm saying
- 16:01Speaker 4: when I say you, I guess who you are to
- 16:02Speaker 4: all the Survivor fans. If you people voted to get
- 16:05Speaker 4: rid of fire Making, you do not.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Understand the game. The game. You don't understand the game.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Everyone in the chat watching let us know what you
- 16:12Speaker 5: voted for fire making, And.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I just said that you don't understand
- 16:16Speaker 1: the game.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Well, Jacob C, one of our top patrons, told me
- 16:20Speaker 5: that he did not vote for firemaking.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. There's a clear Oh god,
- 16:25Speaker 1: Elizabeth voted no fire. Oh by the way, Elizabeth in
- 16:28Speaker 1: the chat, what the hell is? What's from? I mean?
- 16:31Speaker 1: Is it because a teenage Oh? Everyone everyone said no fire?
- 16:34Speaker 2: What?
- 16:35Speaker 1: Wait? Okay, what's I don't know. I don't know. I
- 16:39Speaker 1: agree with you, PD, I agree with you.
- 16:41Speaker 4: I'm baffled by by everyone not wanting fire because you
- 16:45Speaker 4: you're basically if y'all all voted this way and it
- 16:48Speaker 4: ends up being like that and Aubrey goes out at four, Okay.
- 16:53Speaker 1: We're getting to be pissed.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Oh oh, well, so this is what they're all saying.
- 16:57Speaker 5: They're saying negotiating it for is more impressed of it's
- 17:00Speaker 5: a social game. We want to see them negotiate.
- 17:02Speaker 4: But there's no negotiating when you're the clear and obvious
- 17:05Speaker 4: best player. The other three people have to take you
- 17:07Speaker 4: out exactly.
- 17:08Speaker 1: And I guess that's a part of the game. But
- 17:10Speaker 1: I agree with Jeff that that could be fixed.
- 17:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and fire making is not a perfect system because
- 17:17Speaker 4: the elements can completely screw you.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Elizabeth in the chat said that Teeney got fucked because
- 17:23Speaker 5: of the wind.
- 17:24Speaker 4: That's just the way the wind blows. That's the way
- 17:30Speaker 4: the wind brows, the way the wind blows, that's how
- 17:33Speaker 4: it blew that day. And because of that, Sam made
- 17:36Speaker 4: it to the final And yeah, Teeny got screwed over.
- 17:39Speaker 4: But Teeny also didn't do anything that whole game.
- 17:42Speaker 5: Everyone's saying, suck it PD. Elizabeth said, suck it PT. Hey,
- 17:45Speaker 5: you suck at Elizabeth.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Hey, that's my wy.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Back to what we were saying though, what led into
- 17:51Speaker 5: the fire making conversation.
- 17:53Speaker 1: We were talking Joe.
- 17:54Speaker 5: Do you think how does how does the final three
- 17:57Speaker 5: have to end for Joe to win the season?
- 17:59Speaker 4: I've thought about all the scenarios. Yes, and in all
- 18:03Speaker 4: of them, Joe makes the final three. Get me too,
- 18:07Speaker 4: I agree, because he can't get a vote if.
- 18:11Speaker 5: Aubrey makes it to the final three. In any scenario,
- 18:14Speaker 5: I think Aubrey wins. I agree with that. Let's map
- 18:18Speaker 5: it out from like step.
- 18:19Speaker 1: By Should I get the whiteboard out? Should we sure?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Actually we have? Yeah, it would be a very visual bit. Yeah,
- 18:26Speaker 1: that's true audio media when this is going on. Okay, so.
- 18:31Speaker 5: They're saying in the chat that if Joe is the
- 18:33Speaker 5: only one not metavact, he can win.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Yeah, if the other four.
- 18:37Speaker 4: If Bonu prays really hard and gets everybody's if everyone
- 18:42Speaker 4: smote from Banu's.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Prayers, is it smoke or smited. I'm gonna go with smoke.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I like smoke. So let's talk about the beginning of
- 18:52Speaker 1: the episode. Final five immunity. Who wins? Okay, Final five immunity.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Who do we have in play? Aubrey, Tiff, Joe, Rizzo, Jonathan.
- 19:03Speaker 5: What do we think the challenges? It's probably gonna be
- 19:05Speaker 5: an obstacle course, Yeah, I think that goes to one
- 19:08Speaker 5: of the more physical players, like Tiff or Jonathan.
- 19:10Speaker 4: I think Tiff. I think the setup to this is
- 19:14Speaker 4: gonna be like in a puzzle.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Yeah, so Tiff. Maybe. I think Tiff is the final
- 19:20Speaker 1: five elimination.
- 19:22Speaker 5: I agree, unless she wins the immunity and then it's.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Then could be Aubrey. Yeah.
- 19:27Speaker 4: I think the beginning of the episode, it'll be setting
- 19:30Speaker 4: up like if Tiff doesn't win, then she's gotta go,
- 19:32Speaker 4: But then somebody else might be looking at Aubrey. Rizzo
- 19:35Speaker 4: never wins challenges. Rizzo shocks the world. He wins the challenge.
- 19:40Speaker 4: Tiffany goes home that night, okay, and then we go
- 19:43Speaker 4: into the final four Immunity. Jan dre wins. Okay, some emotion,
- 19:48Speaker 4: so I said. Rizzo wins the final five to one. Okay, Yeah,
- 19:53Speaker 4: Rizzo plays the idol and then the next challenge you
- 19:56Speaker 4: know what I'm gonna say, John Dre wins, He wins
- 19:59Speaker 4: themotion Okay. He decides to put the two biggest threats
- 20:03Speaker 4: in the game and Fire, which is Rizzo and Aubrey.
- 20:07Speaker 1: History repeats itself for Rizzio ghost home at Fire again.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Aubrey wins fire Making, so.
- 20:12Speaker 5: Then that would make the final three Joe Jonathan Aubrey.
- 20:15Speaker 4: The title of the episode, I believe is the curse
- 20:19Speaker 4: is lifted. Aubrey won fire Making and then lost in
- 20:22Speaker 4: Final Tribal. I think this time she wins fire Making
- 20:24Speaker 4: and then wins Final Tribal.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Curse is lifted?
- 20:27Speaker 5: Or is the curse lifted because Rizzo lost fire Making
- 20:30Speaker 5: last time wins it this time?
- 20:33Speaker 1: Because here's the thing.
- 20:34Speaker 5: If Aubrey gets voted out instead of tiff what's that
- 20:42Speaker 5: Final three look like, does Tiff even make it the
- 20:43Speaker 5: final three? Or is it Rizzo Joe Jonathan final three?
- 20:46Speaker 1: This is it's.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Gonna be a People are saying that it's kind of
- 20:49Speaker 5: a lame Final five.
- 20:51Speaker 1: It's interesting because anything could happen.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Yet to me, it's not and anything can happen situation.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Reading the edit like, I feel ninety I want to
- 21:01Speaker 4: say ninety five percent positive that I mostly like I
- 21:06Speaker 4: maybe I don't know how it all gets to the
- 21:08Speaker 4: point that it gets to, but I feel like reading
- 21:10Speaker 4: the edit, Jandre's second place, Aubrey Aubrey, Aubrey's first, and
- 21:15Speaker 4: Joe's a zero vote finalist again.
- 21:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the edits saying that same thing, and
- 21:19Speaker 5: I think everyone agrees with you online. Aubrey is the
- 21:22Speaker 5: clear winners edit.
- 21:24Speaker 1: However, you don't think that exists, right, well.
- 21:27Speaker 5: No, no, no, I think it's Jeff always talks about how
- 21:30Speaker 5: it doesn't exist. Yeah, so I'm always open to the
- 21:32Speaker 5: idea of Jeff messing with the edit to make the
- 21:35Speaker 5: fans shocked.
- 21:36Speaker 4: I think there's the winners edit is a thing and
- 21:40Speaker 4: you see it most times, but then occasionally there will
- 21:43Speaker 4: be a season where the winner comes out of nowhere.
- 21:45Speaker 5: Yes, I think that the edit is very clearly Aubrey wins. However,
- 21:51Speaker 5: I do think that there is a conversation that you
- 21:54Speaker 5: can say that Jonathan has gotten winner's edit if he wins.
- 21:58Speaker 1: I think it's I think the edits they are.
- 22:00Speaker 4: It also showed him being played and like Serie saying
- 22:03Speaker 4: he's so easy to manipulate, right, and then you've got
- 22:06Speaker 4: stuff like him taking credit for a move, and then
- 22:09Speaker 4: you like right after that, you get Aubrey into confessional.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Saying it's really her move.
- 22:12Speaker 4: I agree on I think the big question is does
- 22:18Speaker 4: Rizzo or Jan Dre sit in that final three with
- 22:21Speaker 4: Joe and Aubrey? And it just depends on the immunity
- 22:26Speaker 4: challenge in Firemaker, it really does.
- 22:28Speaker 5: I mean, there's a world no one is saying this,
- 22:30Speaker 5: but there is a possibility that the final three is Rizzo, Tiff, Aubrey. Yeah,
- 22:36Speaker 5: I mean, no one thinks that's gonna happen, but there
- 22:38Speaker 5: is a possibility.
- 22:39Speaker 4: I've been pretty dead set on Tiff, you know, getting
- 22:41Speaker 4: eliminated next just because of the lack of editing for her.
- 22:45Speaker 5: Yeah, but then she's won more challenges than anyone this season.
- 22:48Speaker 5: We know Rizzo's making to at least Final four because
- 22:51Speaker 5: he's got the idol. Yeah, so I think Rizzo's kind
- 22:53Speaker 5: of in everybody's Final three. Tiffany could win out the challenges,
- 22:56Speaker 5: like Joe said.
- 22:57Speaker 4: And Tiffany has a win that they're not even counting
- 22:59Speaker 4: as a didn't she team up with Joe in.
- 23:01Speaker 1: The in the double challenge? Yeah?
- 23:03Speaker 5: You know they're not counting that, right, No, they're not.
- 23:05Speaker 5: They're counting only individual immunities.
- 23:07Speaker 4: But then I feel like that should count to I agree, immunities.
- 23:14Speaker 1: We had a few questions or statements.
- 23:17Speaker 5: Aubrey is gonna claim all of Jandre's move which I
- 23:20Speaker 5: think would cut the legs out from under my final tried.
- 23:22Speaker 1: They did that in the edit.
- 23:23Speaker 5: Exactly do you think that they will choose Rizzo to
- 23:27Speaker 5: be chosen to be Final three because he was just
- 23:30Speaker 5: in forty nine?
- 23:33Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
- 23:36Speaker 4: If I was Aubrey, I'd be trying to get Rizzo
- 23:39Speaker 4: out of there, or if I'm Jan Dre or what
- 23:42Speaker 4: if Rizzo wins some motion, which is possible.
- 23:46Speaker 5: That's not a physical challenge, that's a very mental and
- 23:50Speaker 5: endurance based challenge.
- 23:52Speaker 1: So I think Joe's not making fire.
- 23:54Speaker 4: We have We're gonna have Rizzojandre Aubrey, some combination of
- 23:58Speaker 4: those making fire.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other thing.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Tiff is the wild card because you don't think Tiff
- 24:07Speaker 5: makes it because she was not in the show for
- 24:09Speaker 5: the first three weeks.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Yes, I think it's gonna be a pretty quick like
- 24:14Speaker 4: we have a little like the camp life kind of
- 24:18Speaker 4: Tiff has to go through the challenge, Tiff doesn't win,
- 24:20Speaker 4: and the Tiff goes.
- 24:21Speaker 5: Because she's made herself a physical threat in these challenges,
- 24:24Speaker 5: so I can see why they would want her to
- 24:25Speaker 5: be the next to go. My argument against you what
- 24:28Speaker 5: you're saying, which I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm
- 24:30Speaker 5: just saying Devil's advocate, which is what I call Jeff
- 24:32Speaker 5: Devin's advocate, Devin's advocate is because this is season fifty
- 24:37Speaker 5: and there were so many legends early on in the season,
- 24:41Speaker 5: I think that maybe we didn't see much of Tiffany
- 24:45Speaker 5: because we were seeing players that weren't gonna make it
- 24:47Speaker 5: very far, like Mike White. We were seeing a lot
- 24:49Speaker 5: of Mike White, a lot of Christian Ubicki, a lot.
- 24:52Speaker 4: Of Azsy, a lot of Coach, a lot and coach.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think maybe because Jeff is always preaching
- 25:01Speaker 5: about how there's no such thing as a winner's edit,
- 25:03Speaker 5: that maybe he's not worried about Tiff getting at least
- 25:06Speaker 5: one confessional, because I mean, say Aubrey wins. She barely
- 25:10Speaker 5: got any confessionals in those first few episodes.
- 25:13Speaker 4: But Aubrey's edit, I remember, you thought it was really bad,
- 25:17Speaker 4: Like you thought Aubrey was in a bad situation.
- 25:20Speaker 1: But that now tells her a better story.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Yeah, she was at the BOT back then, I was like,
- 25:24Speaker 4: she's in a negative situation. But I think it's a
- 25:27Speaker 4: positive ultimately on the edit side, because all of her
- 25:31Speaker 4: confessionals were stuff like, yeah, it is a struggle, like
- 25:34Speaker 4: I am in a bad spot, but I'm going to persevere, yes,
- 25:37Speaker 4: like I'm going to learn from like the games I
- 25:40Speaker 4: played in the past, and I'm gonna get through this.
- 25:41Speaker 5: And she won me over. I didn't like her at first.
- 25:44Speaker 5: Well I've seen her former seasons.
- 25:46Speaker 1: But I didn't like her at first this season.
- 25:48Speaker 5: I felt like she didn't want to be there and
- 25:49Speaker 5: she might have just taken a spot from someone who
- 25:51Speaker 5: really wanted to be there. But she won me over
- 25:53Speaker 5: halfway through the season and now I'm really rooting for her.
- 25:56Speaker 5: Hard for Aubrey, hashtag hard for Aubrey.
- 25:58Speaker 1: I'm rooting hard for Aubrey.
- 26:00Speaker 5: I shutake bricks for Bronco, brick for Broco. Yeah, dude,
- 26:05Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a fascinating final tribal.
- 26:09Speaker 5: I mean, nightmare, nightmare ending Joe, Jonathan Tiff. Maybe Joe
- 26:17Speaker 5: wins out of that three. I don't know what and
- 26:19Speaker 5: what combination do you think Joe can win.
- 26:23Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the same thing, which is there isn't one, okay.
- 26:27Speaker 5: Because I can see a world where the jury, which
- 26:29Speaker 5: is mostly old school players, don't want to give it
- 26:32Speaker 5: to Rizzo.
- 26:34Speaker 1: But I think that is what's going to happen.
- 26:36Speaker 4: And I disagreed or I disagree with the sentiment that
- 26:41Speaker 4: the players have towards if that's the case, Like, I
- 26:44Speaker 4: don't think that's fair.
- 26:45Speaker 5: But what if it's Rizzo, Joe Tiff? Do they give
- 26:50Speaker 5: it to Rizzo?
- 26:51Speaker 1: I think they would give it to Tiff for winning.
- 26:53Speaker 4: The challenges, for winning the challenges and overall being a
- 26:57Speaker 4: likable person.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I think.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Rizzo he poisoned the ponderosa well with Ozzy. You know,
- 27:04Speaker 4: Ozzy's going to be campaigning hard against Rizzo.
- 27:07Speaker 5: That's true, and he cost coach a season doing that. Yeah,
- 27:10Speaker 5: but you have Siri rooting hard.
- 27:15Speaker 1: But is she still I mean she as. I think
- 27:18Speaker 1: she respects Rizzo's play against her.
- 27:20Speaker 5: And if anything, I bet she could convince Ozzy to
- 27:23Speaker 5: respect Rizzo's play against him.
- 27:24Speaker 4: So you think that that Siri could take Ozzie away
- 27:29Speaker 4: from his Mopi Dingus ways, Yes, okay, I do.
- 27:33Speaker 5: I think Siria is going to be pushing hard for
- 27:35Speaker 5: Rizzo to win if Rizzo's in the final three.
- 27:38Speaker 4: And by saying that that you think he could that
- 27:41Speaker 4: Surien could move him away from his Mopi Dingas. Ways,
- 27:43Speaker 4: you are admitting that he is a Mopi Dingas.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Off the record, yeah, okay.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Do we have any random questions from Patreon? I'm going
- 27:51Speaker 4: to answer the question, is Big Tom.
- 27:52Speaker 5: Is the season fifty one win winners party.
