- 0:42Speaker 1: Sorry and sorry and Sorri and slorianor.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Welcome to making the merge. Everybody brand is on vacation,
- 0:50Speaker 3: Jonathan bailed, typical Jonathan, Me and Chase are drunk, and
- 0:54Speaker 3: Kristen is here on her first recap episode of the season.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Of course, I would like to point out I'm not drunk, dude.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I just got back from what a Catholics call church.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I think they call it mass.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I just got back from mass.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Dude, to do with Mother Mary.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Absolutely, I went to the to the cathedral. I lit
- 1:16Speaker 1: a Mother Mary candle to celebrate because spoiler alert mother.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Mary did not get eliminated. She's still in the game.
- 1:25Speaker 5: We love it for Mary.
- 1:27Speaker 3: She's just she's been fighting. She lives to see another day.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And you know who else lived to see another day?
- 1:33Speaker 3: Say in Cedric, our favorite people, the Green Tribe.
- 1:37Speaker 5: I loved that none of them had to go to
- 1:39Speaker 5: tribal this week.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Yeah, that was such a change of pace.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Yeah, they finally got some relief. The way we started
- 1:45Speaker 3: out with the Green Tribe was, you know, tribal, they
- 1:48Speaker 3: get rained on and then the next day Mary is
- 1:51Speaker 3: off doing something that was never disclosed. While she's off,
- 1:54Speaker 3: Say and Cedric decide we need to go look for
- 1:57Speaker 3: an idol, and they, for some reason, they feel like
- 2:00Speaker 3: they can't just go look. They need to leave Mary
- 2:03Speaker 3: a note and chase how did they do that?
- 2:06Speaker 1: So what Say did is she took a bunch of
- 2:09Speaker 1: sticks and she left out a giant message that said
- 2:13Speaker 1: Mary gone idle hunting.
- 2:16Speaker 3: And Ceda questioned whether she was gonna be able to
- 2:18Speaker 3: get enough sticks, and she said she had plenty.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, they're in the jungle.
- 2:23Speaker 5: I personally think she was collecting them for when they
- 2:25Speaker 5: finally earned flint.
- 2:28Speaker 3: And she's just like Yeah, this isn't gonna happen time.
- 2:30Speaker 1: One day, One day, these sticks will come in handy.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I thought it was kind of weird, but Mary seemed
- 2:37Speaker 3: to really appreciate it.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was fun.
- 2:40Speaker 5: It's a new dynamic for Say and Mary. So I
- 2:43Speaker 5: think the note was a good gesture.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Exactly. It is a new dynamic for them. And that's
- 2:48Speaker 3: why Brand gets to like, he's not here, but this
- 2:51Speaker 3: is a brand victory lap because Brand saw this coming,
- 2:55Speaker 3: them getting along. Me and Jonathan are like, no, no way,
- 2:58Speaker 3: They're gonna hate each other forever.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Oh, Cedric gave them an ultimatum. They said, if you
- 3:03Speaker 1: want to stay in this game, you guys got to
- 3:05Speaker 1: cut it out. And so they pulled out the scissors
- 3:09Speaker 1: and they got some stick messages and they have cut
- 3:12Speaker 1: it out. Now they're best friends and they're going to
- 3:14Speaker 1: go all the way together on the same tribe and
- 3:16Speaker 1: win it all.
- 3:17Speaker 5: That's exactly what's gonna happen.
- 3:20Speaker 3: This brings us to the Mother Mary quote of the week.
- 3:22Speaker 3: There actually is one, even though there weren't a ton
- 3:24Speaker 3: of Mary quotes in this episode. She said, I can
- 3:28Speaker 3: always tell when she has her game eyes on, because
- 3:31Speaker 3: it's just like lasers boring into me, but her real
- 3:33Speaker 3: life people eyes are quite soft and trusting.
- 3:36Speaker 5: I liked that quote. I thought it kind of gave
- 3:39Speaker 5: us a glimpse of Mary in a new light when
- 3:41Speaker 5: she's not just in survival mode.
- 3:43Speaker 1: You know, these episodes have been so merry heavy because
- 3:45Speaker 1: she's the most entertaining Survivor player of all time. Yeah,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but this episode we barely got any of Mary, and honestly,
- 3:52Speaker 1: a queen needs a break now.
- 3:54Speaker 3: And then that's right, she deserves a little rest for
- 3:57Speaker 3: you know, she's been carrying Survivor on her back for
- 3:59Speaker 3: four consecutive or three consecutive weeks.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So it's okay if she's not the forefront of the episode.
- 4:05Speaker 3: After the theme song, all of the tribes get together
- 4:09Speaker 3: and we get to a nice little Jeff speech and
- 4:11Speaker 3: Jeff asked Thomas what it is that you have to
- 4:14Speaker 3: do and survivor every moment of every day. And Thomas said,
- 4:18Speaker 3: you can't be complacent and you have to be ready
- 4:20Speaker 3: for any curveball that comes your way. And Jeff said,
- 4:23Speaker 3: everybody dropped your buffs, so we got a tribe switch.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Sure.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, Vula could not have been happier and everybody
- 4:30Speaker 3: else looked devastated.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Yeah, they totally were because they were like winning, winning, winning.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Neither of the other tribes had lost a single player yet,
- 4:38Speaker 1: so what a situation to be in. What I loved
- 4:41Speaker 1: about this scene is when Thomas is going on his
- 4:43Speaker 1: big uh you know, like that's how you do it
- 4:45Speaker 1: in Survivor moment, he says something along the lines of like,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know, relationships are gonna get tested. And when he
- 4:53Speaker 1: says that, the camera zoom in on Joe and Eva,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and I was like, oh no, what is this foreshadowing?
- 5:00Speaker 5: I think probably just that they got separated.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Well yeah, probably that or something tragic. Yeah, for Joe
- 5:09Speaker 3: and Eva. It could be nothing. It could just be
- 5:12Speaker 3: that they're separated right now, or there's some absolutely tragic
- 5:16Speaker 3: betrayal that happens at Final six or soh yeah, yeah, I.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Don't know if Eva could recover from that.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Maybe she's the one doing the betraying.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Hey, you know she talks a big game about only
- 5:28Speaker 1: getting along with men. What if it's all a joke.
- 5:31Speaker 1: What if it's all a trick, a ploy so that
- 5:33Speaker 1: she could backstab Joe do an all girls alliance win
- 5:36Speaker 1: the game.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Let's get to these new tribes. So the new vula
- 5:41Speaker 3: is Kyle, Camilla, Thomas, Shaheen.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And Joe.
- 5:45Speaker 3: So while off the bat, you think like, oh, that's
- 5:48Speaker 3: that's not good for Kyle and Camilla, all three California
- 5:51Speaker 3: girls together.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Jeff asks Camilla how she's feeling about that tribe, and
- 5:57Speaker 1: she could have said, you know, hey, we don't have
- 5:59Speaker 1: the numbers. We're at it this advantage. She basically says, hey,
- 6:02Speaker 1: we've got a team that has got a lot of
- 6:04Speaker 1: strength obviously, and you know, we look at like Joe
- 6:06Speaker 1: and all the big guys. And then she goes and
- 6:09Speaker 1: I think we also have brains on the tribe, and
- 6:11Speaker 1: it kind of zooms in on her and like someone
- 6:13Speaker 1: like Thomas, and she's like, I think that we're not
- 6:15Speaker 1: going to be going to tribal anytime soon. And I
- 6:17Speaker 1: was like, what a diplomatic answer from Camilla.
- 6:22Speaker 3: It was like a sports player at a press conference.
- 6:25Speaker 3: They're just gonna give the whatever answer makes them and
- 6:28Speaker 3: their teammates look the best.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And good for her for doing that.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Let's talk about the new loggie. So it's Star, Mary, Eva,
- 6:37Speaker 3: David and Charity.
- 6:39Speaker 5: That is the team I'm most worried about.
- 6:43Speaker 3: I believe in the group chat or the Patreon chat,
- 6:47Speaker 3: Chase said there's not a single brain cell on this team,
- 6:51Speaker 3: and that's a team with Charity and Mary on. It
- 6:55Speaker 3: was that just a knee jerk reaction or do you
- 6:56Speaker 3: really believe there's not a brain cell on that team?
- 6:59Speaker 1: It was it was just watching when they got back
- 7:01Speaker 1: to camp and they were just wandering around the jungle like,
- 7:04Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I I love this, and it was
- 7:07Speaker 1: just like, oh, no, we don't have a single we
- 7:10Speaker 1: don't have a single grown up on this tribe. But
- 7:14Speaker 1: they go on to surprise me. I will say I
- 7:17Speaker 1: really thought that there was no way that that team
- 7:20Speaker 1: was not going to tribal council that night.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was nervous that they were gonna
- 7:25Speaker 5: go to tribal council, just because like, of all the dynamics,
- 7:29Speaker 5: like Eva's throwing Star's name out there so fast, and
- 7:33Speaker 5: someone was saying, oh, Charity was at the bottom of
- 7:35Speaker 5: our tribe with nobody trusts her, and I was like,
- 7:37Speaker 5: this is exactly why I told Jonathan not to pick her.
- 7:40Speaker 3: And then the new Siva Mitch Chrissy Bianca Cedric and say.
- 7:46Speaker 1: This, this tribe interested me the most because it went
- 7:50Speaker 1: from like Orange was already not shown often in the
- 7:54Speaker 1: episode so far, and then now it's just like even
- 7:58Speaker 1: more like that middle. We still don't see much from Orange.
- 8:02Speaker 5: Why do you think that is?
- 8:03Speaker 1: I think those are just like the middle of the
- 8:05Speaker 1: pack players for this season, and we'll see more of
- 8:08Speaker 1: them after the merge.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Most like, they did get a little bit of spotlight
- 8:12Speaker 3: in this episode, and we'll get to that. But the
- 8:15Speaker 3: first beach that we go to is the Loggie Beach,
- 8:17Speaker 3: where Eva and David immediately hit it off. And Eva
- 8:22Speaker 3: she's literally jumping in the air. She's so excited to
- 8:24Speaker 3: talk about jet skis with David.
- 8:27Speaker 5: And everyone online was shocked that she singled out David
- 8:31Speaker 5: on her tribe of women.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the problem started for Evil. She was like,
- 8:36Speaker 1: I want to try with all women and David looks
- 8:38Speaker 1: like I'm working with David And we were all like, oh, no,
- 8:42Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's the guy you want. That's
- 8:44Speaker 1: not the horse you put the saddle on, girl.
- 8:46Speaker 3: No, But that's really all we saw right there, and
- 8:48Speaker 3: then we go to something remarkable happening. Chrissy spoke. Chrissy said, words, guys,
- 8:58Speaker 3: she said that. I mean, it was much. She's just
- 9:00Speaker 3: like they had her basically say who all was on
- 9:03Speaker 3: the tribe, And then she said she hasn't worked with Mitch,
- 9:06Speaker 3: but she wants to stay. She she wants to stay
- 9:09Speaker 3: Siva strong and like and work with Mitch, you know,
- 9:12Speaker 3: even though they haven't talked together previously.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know why y'all are laughing.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Christy's the winner of this season.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Kristin, do you honestly believe Chrissy could win the season?
- 9:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 9:22Speaker 5: I highly doubt it, but you know, I think she'll
- 9:24Speaker 5: get pretty far.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Kristin, let me ask you this question. If we would
- 9:28Speaker 1: have asked you on week three of last season, or
- 9:31Speaker 1: is this week four, Week four of last season, if
- 9:33Speaker 1: Rachel was gonna win, what would you have said, because
- 9:36Speaker 1: we hadn't seen barely any of Rachel.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's true. It's a good point.
- 9:40Speaker 3: She was on the bottom during that time. But Chrissie's
- 9:44Speaker 3: not on the bottom.
- 9:45Speaker 1: She's not on the show. Dude. When she actually got
- 9:51Speaker 1: to talk, Be and PD both at the exact same
- 9:53Speaker 1: time in the Patreon chat were like, they let Christy
- 9:55Speaker 1: on TV.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Yeah, literally, at the exactly just the supporting player, you know.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay when she's winning and you guys are
- 10:03Speaker 1: all looking real dumb for not drafting her like I Didick,
- 10:07Speaker 1: was she for you?
- 10:08Speaker 6: Uh?
- 10:09Speaker 1: Number three? So she wasn't number four pick. That goes
- 10:12Speaker 1: to Mitch.
- 10:13Speaker 5: It's hard to believe that Mitch got a number four
- 10:15Speaker 5: draft pick still, but and.
- 10:17Speaker 1: It's because he's like the face of the season and
- 10:20Speaker 1: that never goes well.
- 10:21Speaker 3: He's the face of everything that is likable. He's like
- 10:24Speaker 3: the most likable person. That's why no one wanted to
- 10:27Speaker 3: draft him until the fourth round.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Yeah, well I actually I wanted to draft him, but
- 10:32Speaker 5: it just didn't work out that way.
- 10:34Speaker 1: I guess because of your husband.
- 10:36Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we got to compromise or whatever.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Biaka, she's panicking because she's the only person from her
- 10:44Speaker 3: original tribe on the new Siva and she doesn't have
- 10:47Speaker 3: her vote. So her strategy is to find a crack
- 10:50Speaker 3: on this tribe. And you know what that means. We're
- 10:53Speaker 3: going to take a ride on the say train, yeah you.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Bianca says I really want to work with you and
- 11:06Speaker 3: Cedric and say immediately says, I don't know if you
- 11:08Speaker 3: want to work with Cedric. So it's like immediately dismisses it,
- 11:11Speaker 3: and she's like, get a vibe first, and then Bianca's
- 11:14Speaker 3: thrilled about that development.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Last episode was one of the craziest tribal councils we've
- 11:18Speaker 1: ever seen. Oh yeah, and now we're seeing the fall
- 11:22Speaker 1: out of that. He should have never picked Say over
- 11:25Speaker 1: Pizza because he had already voted for Say twice that night.
- 11:29Speaker 1: She was never gonna trust him again. He should have
- 11:31Speaker 1: sent Say home. Then Pizza would have been more dedicated
- 11:35Speaker 1: to Cedric than ever. And if Pizza would have been
- 11:38Speaker 1: just like how Say ended up on the same tribe
- 11:40Speaker 1: as Cedric and the new tribes. Now they've got a
- 11:42Speaker 1: power duo in their new trupe Cedric. If Cedric goes
- 11:46Speaker 1: home soon, which I imagine he probably will unless he
- 11:49Speaker 1: wins the game. That his game fell apart at a
- 11:53Speaker 1: single moment, and it was at the moment that he
- 11:55Speaker 1: sent Pizza pack in instead of saying m.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Hm, Cedric. He later in this episode we can talk
- 12:01Speaker 3: about it.
- 12:01Speaker 4: Now.
- 12:01Speaker 3: He has a scene with Mitch. They really bonded, you know,
- 12:05Speaker 3: about them both having a stutter, and then it seems
- 12:08Speaker 3: like they're in an alliance together, like Mitch really wants
- 12:11Speaker 3: to bring Cedric into the SIVA group, and guys, I'm
- 12:15Speaker 3: calling it. I'm gonna make it official. The said Mitch Alliance,
- 12:20Speaker 3: trying to brand it. Said, Mitch, how do you feel
- 12:22Speaker 3: about it?
- 12:23Speaker 5: I feel like there's something better out there.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Wow, you're immediately miss Midrick midric Midric midric Or said, Mitch,
- 12:33Speaker 3: you guys vote. I don't know where you're gonna I'm
- 12:36Speaker 3: not gonna do a poll or anything. I'm just gonna say, yeah,
- 12:38Speaker 3: vote on it. Just email us decided. I think, said Mitch.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Nation is going to be on my side.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I will say it's an interesting duo that could they
- 12:53Speaker 1: could go far. They're both very smart, they're both with
- 12:55Speaker 1: likable people. Cedric hasn't been the best in challenges. I
- 12:59Speaker 1: wouldn't say Mitch has necessarily been great in challenges either.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Granny shots, Hey he did mail.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Yeah, he's made some shots. I was actually thinking that
- 13:07Speaker 5: as I watched this episode, was like, you know, he
- 13:10Speaker 5: he's done better in the challenges than I would have
- 13:12Speaker 5: maybe expected him to.
- 13:13Speaker 1: He's not one of the people that everyone's keeping their
- 13:15Speaker 1: eye on because he's a challenge right Coming from Texas
- 13:26Speaker 1: Live from a different time, gentleman.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought we were starting at eight Central.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Wait what time is central?
- 13:35Speaker 4: I don't even think it is central starting. Guys are hard, Okay.
- 13:40Speaker 3: They are, we are.
- 13:42Speaker 4: This is what I want to say. I don't want
- 13:44Speaker 4: to hear anything else, but I do just want this
- 13:46Speaker 4: on the record. Uh, Chase, you're a liar. You weren't
- 13:51Speaker 4: you weren't acting.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I'm a liar.
- 13:55Speaker 4: You're such a You're such a little.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Liar, pretty little liar right now, a pretty little liar.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Brand needs to be honest with me, right now. I
- 14:05Speaker 1: need you to be so honest with me. No bits,
- 14:07Speaker 1: no bits. Do you really not believe me?
- 14:10Speaker 2: I believe that you were seventy five percent acting.
- 14:15Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. I'll give thanks seventy five.
- 14:18Speaker 5: If you don't know what's being talked about, then go
- 14:21Speaker 5: listen to our Sanctuary episode.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I'm halfway through that too. I'm halfway through a lot
- 14:25Speaker 4: of things, guys. I can only make it halfway apparently.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Right now, this is what I want to say that
- 14:29Speaker 2: I'm going to get out of here. I love the
- 14:32Speaker 2: tribal shakeups. I think they were great, and I have
- 14:37Speaker 2: no idea who loses who gets voted out. So I
- 14:43Speaker 2: don't want any I don't want any ten bits. But
- 14:45Speaker 2: this is what I will say. I feel more confident
- 14:48Speaker 2: than ever that I have the winning team.
- 14:52Speaker 4: Based off of the way things have shaken up. Just
- 14:55Speaker 4: go with it.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Because his Brand has no idea who went home? So
- 14:59Speaker 1: what if? What if and lost all three of his
- 15:01Speaker 1: last players in a metavag.
- 15:05Speaker 4: Would not be the worst.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a very real possibility that I could
- 15:09Speaker 2: be in here talking trash and you guys know that
- 15:12Speaker 2: I'm down two players.
- 15:14Speaker 3: What if a wild board specifically took out Brand's team.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Three separate tribes?
- 15:22Speaker 4: But you know what this talk about the end of
- 15:23Speaker 4: this podcast.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Even when all four of my players get out in
- 15:27Speaker 2: the next four weeks, I'll still be here.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I'll still be here a week after week.
- 15:31Speaker 5: That's wrong, We'll have to let you come on to
- 15:35Speaker 5: someone else's team.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Then, oh yeah, you can just jump on.
- 15:39Speaker 2: You can't have me now, don't You had your chance
- 15:43Speaker 2: to let me be on your team and you said no.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Well, if it doesn't work out well with Jonathan, if
- 15:48Speaker 5: I lose because of him, I'll consider it for next season.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Thank you. That's all that I asked.
- 15:51Speaker 2: That's all I asked, you've got a fight tomorrow, and
- 15:54Speaker 2: hopefully it goes up and goes down.
- 15:57Speaker 4: The way it should ring.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Hey, what if you see Charity?
- 16:03Speaker 4: Why would I say? Oh? Okay, gosh? I was like,
- 16:05Speaker 4: did she get voted out? No?
- 16:06Speaker 1: I know.
- 16:08Speaker 2: You know what, No, I'm playing illusion. I think she
- 16:11Speaker 2: does spirits. So based off of the colors, based off
- 16:15Speaker 2: the colors.
- 16:17Speaker 4: I haven't tracked her down. Okay, I haven't tracked her down.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Just saw a picture.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Brand says he's in Texas. He's actually outside Luigi's, the
- 16:27Speaker 3: pizza place that Justin has. He's stalking players.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Guys. I got my pizza shirt on. I am ready
- 16:34Speaker 4: to rock and roll. It's gonna be incredible. Okay, I'll
- 16:37Speaker 4: let you guys go.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I just want to say hi, and I love you guys,
- 16:41Speaker 2: and I can't wait to be back next week.
- 16:44Speaker 1: We can't wait for you to be back.
- 16:46Speaker 4: And now now I'm in this awkward place where I
- 16:48Speaker 4: don't know if I'm allowed to leave this call and
- 16:50Speaker 4: my audio will be uploaded or not. Just let me
- 16:54Speaker 4: know if I need to come back on afterwards. How
- 16:56Speaker 4: about that?
- 16:56Speaker 1: Okay?
- 16:57Speaker 3: Call sounds good?
- 16:57Speaker 4: Okay, by everybody?
- 16:59Speaker 3: See Brand go to.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You know what's really messed up. Brand is on vacation
- 17:08Speaker 1: in a different time zone and Jonathan's just in the
- 17:11Speaker 1: other room with CHRISTI.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Yeah, we got bombed by Brand, but I remember where
- 17:15Speaker 3: we left off, so we checked in on the other
- 17:18Speaker 3: two tribes and we're gonna finally check in on the
- 17:20Speaker 3: new Vula. They all get to camp and it's a dump.
- 17:25Speaker 5: Everybody was so appalled by the condition, and honestly, I
- 17:29Speaker 5: was appalled. I was like, wait a second, have I
- 17:31Speaker 5: never observed what was going on here? Because it was
- 17:34Speaker 5: a little shocking.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing. I was like, how
- 17:37Speaker 1: did I not realize how bad it was? But they
- 17:40Speaker 1: even pointed out They're like, they haven't won anything, so
- 17:44Speaker 1: they don't have anything at all. They weren't even shocked
- 17:46Speaker 1: that they had fire.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Their tribe was never like cohesively working together, so it
- 17:52Speaker 5: makes sense that they would have a crappy camp.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:55Speaker 3: I really like, I love everything Thomas said, but you know,
- 17:59Speaker 3: it's like a ghost of Christmas past haunting us, being
- 18:02Speaker 3: like we lose here. That was my favorite Thomas line.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Didn't you have a favorite Thomas line? Later in the episode, Chase.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did do you want me to bring
- 18:09Speaker 1: it up now or later.
- 18:11Speaker 3: I want to talk about Thomas as much as possible.
- 18:13Speaker 5: Let Thomas segment.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Yeah. My my Thomas quote of the week is when
- 18:18Speaker 1: he goes, uh, he's talking about how he has a
- 18:25Speaker 1: block a vote or a steal a vote, right, and
- 18:28Speaker 1: so he's talking about if he's going to be using
- 18:30Speaker 1: his advantage at tribal later and he says, you know,
- 18:34Speaker 1: if things get freaky deeky at tribal, I might have
- 18:36Speaker 1: to whoop it out. And at that point I was like,
- 18:40Speaker 1: how sensual.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Did he say whip it out or whip it out?
- 18:45Speaker 1: Whip it out? But you know I had to put that.
- 18:47Speaker 1: I had to put that Country.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Twain on whoop it Out?
- 18:50Speaker 1: And to whoop it out?
- 18:51Speaker 3: Well, we got our title of the episode of just
- 18:54Speaker 3: kidding when.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Tribal gets freaky deeky, whip it out?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Yeah, make a T shirt, Chase.
- 19:01Speaker 1: I didn't say it. It wasn't me, it was Olivia
- 19:04Speaker 1: Rodrigo's buddy.
- 19:05Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say Olivia Rodrigo said it. Yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 3: that's where Thomas got it.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't heard her new album Freaky Tribal Parentheses
- 19:14Speaker 1: Whip it Out?
- 19:15Speaker 3: So Kyle and Camilla are in a tough spot on
- 19:17Speaker 3: that tribe. They're outnumbered by the California Girls, but you know,
- 19:21Speaker 3: they're seemingly without talking about it, they're both on the
- 19:25Speaker 3: same page as to how to play it, And I
- 19:27Speaker 3: thought that was really interesting because like they're all sitting
- 19:29Speaker 3: around and Camilla paints herself as being on the bottom.
- 19:32Speaker 3: I was really impressed because Kyle was talking about it
- 19:35Speaker 3: in the confessional as just like something she spontaneously did
- 19:39Speaker 3: that they discussed beforehand.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I was super impressed by their dynamic when they
- 19:46Speaker 5: moved over the new Tribe, because I think we knew
- 19:48Speaker 5: from past episodes that they were close and that they
- 19:50Speaker 5: were in an alliance, but it would take so much
- 19:54Speaker 5: trust in the other person to carry it out to
- 19:58Speaker 5: the extent that they did and make it convincing enough,
- 20:01Speaker 5: because a lot of times you see these situations happen
- 20:03Speaker 5: and then people start doubting, well, like, are they actually
- 20:07Speaker 5: you know in this with me?
- 20:09Speaker 1: Yeah, to Christen's point, like the amount of trust they
- 20:12Speaker 1: had to have with each other, because the second that
- 20:15Speaker 1: you know, one of them was like talking with the
- 20:18Speaker 1: California Girls off by theirselves, I would immediately be like, Oh,
- 20:21Speaker 1: they're just gonna sell me down the river to keep
- 20:23Speaker 1: themselves alive for another day. But they stuck to their
- 20:26Speaker 1: guns and they did a phenomenal job.
- 20:28Speaker 3: Yeah, when Camilla said that, like nobody had strategy talks
- 20:32Speaker 3: with her, that's when she was there with Kyle and Shaheen,
- 20:35Speaker 3: and Shaheen was like, they definitely like have no relationship
- 20:38Speaker 3: at all. Because when yeah, Camilla said that, Kyle was like, oh, well,
- 20:42Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that's necessarily.
- 20:44Speaker 1: True, dude, And it just goes to show you how
- 20:46Speaker 1: smart both of those players are. I mean, I wouldn't
- 20:50Speaker 1: say that before this episode. I was expecting Kyle to
- 20:54Speaker 1: necessarily go super far. But now, dude, I think he
- 20:57Speaker 1: could be a winner.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Heck, yeah, that's why he's on my team.
- 21:00Speaker 3: What about my midst round pick?
- 21:01Speaker 1: Well, that was about to say, is I said before
- 21:04Speaker 1: this episode, I didn't think that of Kyle. I mean,
- 21:06Speaker 1: we all knew Camilla was going to be a great
- 21:08Speaker 1: player or at least hope. Yeah, all of them except
- 21:11Speaker 1: I think because Kristen. You even tried to draft her first, right.
- 21:14Speaker 5: Yeah, she was our number one draft pick. But that's
- 21:16Speaker 5: kind of why. Knowing that him and Camilla were working together.
- 21:20Speaker 5: I felt like that was going to be a good
- 21:22Speaker 5: dynamic and he would get further in the game because
- 21:24Speaker 5: of that.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Yeah, And for me, I loved Camilla's strategy of throw
- 21:29Speaker 3: people under the bus, and it was working with Charity
- 21:32Speaker 3: and then it was working with Thomas to an extent, Yeah,
- 21:36Speaker 3: because it did sew a lot of doubt because it
- 21:38Speaker 3: turns out Camilla and Star were talking game when they
- 21:43Speaker 3: were both sitting on the bench. Star Update Yeah, Star Update.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Star told Camilla some information that made Shaheen's radar go off. Yeah.
- 21:53Speaker 1: So basically Camilla said, Hey, I don't know what Thomas
- 21:56Speaker 1: told you guys, but I was told that they didn't
- 21:59Speaker 1: have a choice to step away. So that's so doubting Thomas.
- 22:03Speaker 1: And we all know about doubting Thomas, right, and the
- 22:05Speaker 1: youth group fans in the in the building. Yeah, so
- 22:08Speaker 1: they so then they go to Thomas and they're like, hey,
- 22:11Speaker 1: they're saying that that wasn't an option, and Thomas plays it,
- 22:16Speaker 1: to his credit amazingly, well, he doesn't even hesitate. He's
- 22:20Speaker 1: just like, oh, it sounds like Homegirl's friend is lying
- 22:22Speaker 1: to her. And I was just like, dang, he plays
- 22:24Speaker 1: it so quick that they don't even seem to really
- 22:27Speaker 1: doubt him that much.
- 22:28Speaker 3: After that, I think they still did doubt him a
- 22:29Speaker 3: little bit because a little bit Camilla knew what the
- 22:33Speaker 3: journey was and that wasn't optional.
- 22:35Speaker 1: But it obviously didn't sway they're voting later, that is true.
- 22:40Speaker 5: Yeah, I was kind of curious about that. I guess
- 22:42Speaker 5: they just thought their best bet would be to stick
- 22:44Speaker 5: with their alliance, which.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Wake it up. But then but it wasn't. But it was.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Hey, guys, read alert. Chrissy talks again. So the second
- 22:57Speaker 3: time in an episode it wasn't enough that she talked
- 22:59Speaker 3: to early here.
- 23:00Speaker 1: They call her Chrissy two times.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Chrissy too confessional. So she's with Mitch and
- 23:08Speaker 3: Cedric and she's saying Bianca is the easy vote if
- 23:11Speaker 3: they lose, and you know what that means. Chrissy is
- 23:14Speaker 3: my number one enemy.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Now.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Oh man, I don't really have many survivor ops right now,
- 23:21Speaker 3: like inside the game, but Chrissy is my number one target.
- 23:24Speaker 3: We gotta get Chrissy out of here.
- 23:25Speaker 1: After that, Wow, what a wild op. Christie's had two
- 23:29Speaker 1: confessionals total.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Hey, but she's in a power position and she wants
- 23:34Speaker 3: my girl Bianca out of the game. So don't all
- 23:37Speaker 3: I need Chrissy. No, no, not over.
- 23:40Speaker 5: I wasn't a fan because I wasn't a Thomas fan,
- 23:43Speaker 5: and I just clicked them together in my mind.
- 23:46Speaker 1: By by Bianca.
- 23:50Speaker 3: I'm I might quit the podcast over this.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Guys.
- 23:53Speaker 3: I'm I'm upset.
- 23:55Speaker 1: I think you're seventy percent.
- 23:57Speaker 3: We have we have something really important to do now,
- 24:00Speaker 3: and that is check in with David.
- 24:03Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, so it happened.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I broke my brain. We learned David grew up with
- 24:12Speaker 3: three sisters. He said he's very chivalrous. He treats his
- 24:16Speaker 3: girlfriend like a princess. But hold up, because right after
- 24:20Speaker 3: he talks about how he treats his girlfriend, he tells
- 24:23Speaker 3: all the girls that his girlfriend dumped him. And I'm like,
- 24:26Speaker 3: I my mind was blown at that point. I was like,
- 24:29Speaker 3: hold on, we spent five minutes talking about your relationship
- 24:32Speaker 3: dynamic that doesn't even exist. Is that what happened? And
- 24:34Speaker 3: then he just drops it on us.
- 24:36Speaker 1: This is what it boils down to. Last week, he
- 24:39Speaker 1: was talking about how you know, he's afraid his girlfriend
- 24:42Speaker 1: is gonna break up with him unless he wins her.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Did he get tree mail because last week he was
- 24:47Speaker 3: talking about it as if it was a real relationship.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Did she send him something to Fiji?
- 24:53Speaker 1: A classic guy move, right? We find out this week
- 24:57Speaker 1: she had already broken up with him for financial reasons,
- 25:02Speaker 1: and in his mind, he's like, I'm going to go
- 25:05Speaker 1: on Survivor. I'm gonna win the million dollars and then
- 25:08Speaker 1: it's gonna be like she never left.
- 25:09Speaker 5: Yeah, and she'll definitely take me back because no one
- 25:12Speaker 5: will think she's shallow after that.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's like, hey, I put you on blast
- 25:18Speaker 3: on national television, but now I have six hundred thousand
- 25:21Speaker 3: after taxes, so I think I.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Could turn this around.
- 25:26Speaker 4: Uh W.
- 25:27Speaker 1: When that moment happened, my wife was like, oh, he's
- 25:29Speaker 1: de Lulu.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Yeah it's true. I mean they're already broken up, and
- 25:33Speaker 5: he's like, she's my girlfriend, Like this is an active relationship.
- 25:36Speaker 1: But yeah, she's gonna break up with me if I
- 25:39Speaker 1: don't win Survivors. I don't know. We shouldn't harp on
- 25:41Speaker 1: this too much. This is someone's real personal life.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's just I got whiplash from thinking I
- 25:47Speaker 3: knew what the situation was and I thought it was
- 25:49Speaker 3: weird already too, then this week it's even weirder.
- 25:54Speaker 5: Here's our disclaimer, David, we don't really know your personal life.
- 25:58Speaker 5: This is just our take from like watching three minutes
- 26:01Speaker 5: of you talking about it, so don't take it personal exactly.
- 26:05Speaker 3: You know, David hates water again. He has his new tribe.
- 26:09Speaker 3: He hates water, and they ask him what he does
- 26:11Speaker 3: drink loves Yeah, it loves jet skis and he loves
- 26:14Speaker 3: chocolate milk. He said he drinks chocolate milk all day,
- 26:16Speaker 3: every day.
- 26:17Speaker 5: And Eva was very excited about that.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Was she excited about that too?
- 26:22Speaker 1: Yeah. He was just so hype.
- 26:26Speaker 3: That David had to do. I mean, Mary, he was
- 26:29Speaker 3: a big fan of David too. She said something like like,
- 26:32Speaker 3: you know, he grew up with sisters and he knows
- 26:33Speaker 3: how to take care of him. So I'll be your sister,
- 26:35Speaker 3: David take care of.
- 26:36Speaker 5: Me, okay, And that is something that we can highlight
- 26:39Speaker 5: about David because I was as that was happening. I
- 26:42Speaker 5: was interested in, like the contrast, you know, between him
- 26:45Speaker 5: talking about his relationship with his girlfriend slash ex girlfriend. Yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 5: I don't know, but then the other yeah, the situationship,
- 26:54Speaker 5: but you know all the other women on the tribe
- 26:56Speaker 5: are saying like how great he is and how how
- 26:59Speaker 5: well he like providing. Like Mary was like, yeah, he's
- 27:02Speaker 5: like a great provider at the camp and I was like, Okay.
- 27:05Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's just that that chocolate milk energy.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, Maybe she is the problem whoever
- 27:12Speaker 3: she yes.
- 27:13Speaker 5: Yeah, and maybe she is shallow. Yeah, Like maybe David
- 27:17Speaker 5: does make enough money as a stuntman.
- 27:19Speaker 3: We don't know, or maybe David's just stupid. But anyway,
- 27:22Speaker 3: we have a tweet from David. It could It's a
- 27:25Speaker 3: lot of different possibilities, but the tweet. I'm very excited
- 27:29Speaker 3: to read another David tweet. He said, if you are
- 27:31Speaker 3: hungry on Survivor, you are ill prepared. I spotted the
- 27:35Speaker 3: cassava plants within the first hour of hitting the Siva beach,
- 27:38Speaker 3: cassava clams, oysters, coconut, heart of palm, papaya crabs, hermit crabs,
- 27:42Speaker 3: sea cucumbers, almonds, snails, and more. Smh at the game bots.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Wow, did you find chocolate milk? Now?
- 27:51Speaker 3: Unfortunately was not in the list.
- 27:52Speaker 5: I mean, that's a lot of food. He makes it
- 27:54Speaker 5: sound like a feast out there.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Yeah, so Basically he's saying, like, I don't watch the show,
- 27:58Speaker 3: and I did all this stuff, and you nerds who
- 28:00Speaker 3: complain about being hungry on Survivor or Losers, yeah, get good.
- 28:04Speaker 3: So Charity is giving a confessional about how she sees
- 28:07Speaker 3: David as her shield and puppet, and this is a
- 28:10Speaker 3: lot of David talk, but yeah, Charity is basically throwing
- 28:13Speaker 3: David under the bus to the confessional, and then David
- 28:17Speaker 3: immediately throws Charity under the bus to Eva. So it's
- 28:20Speaker 3: like Charity has this idea of David as someone who
- 28:23Speaker 3: doesn't think of the game. But meanwhile, David is with
- 28:27Speaker 3: Eva saying I don't trust Charity at all. She's playing
- 28:29Speaker 3: too hard. So it's like the complete opposite of what
- 28:32Speaker 3: Charity's perception is.
- 28:33Speaker 5: Yeah, which means he could really be a good player
- 28:35Speaker 5: if he's able to like give one person this impression
- 28:38Speaker 5: in another you know.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Very true, I think, you know, and he could be
- 28:42Speaker 1: playing all of us. Really, he could be kind of
- 28:44Speaker 1: playing a little bit ditsier than he actually is to
- 28:47Speaker 1: not seem as big of a threat. He is a
- 28:49Speaker 1: big guy. Usually they just go very quickly into the season,
- 28:54Speaker 1: especially after the merge. But you know, maybe he's maybe
- 28:57Speaker 1: he's trying to put up, but I'm not scary vibe.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Yeah, like my relationship is a mess. I mean, this
- 29:03Speaker 3: is something we haven't discussed. It has come up. What
- 29:06Speaker 3: if the whole relationship is fake?
- 29:09Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be a fair play situation, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 1: instead of a dead grandma. It's a broken relationship.
- 29:14Speaker 3: I mean, yes, stunt man, So I feel like we
- 29:16Speaker 3: should take everything he says with a grain of salt.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, because stuntmen are notorious liar.
- 29:22Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna say.
- 29:23Speaker 3: I would imagine if it's anything like pro wrestlers who
- 29:26Speaker 3: are basically stunt men.
- 29:27Speaker 1: The Tom Cruise man, he's a scientologist.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Don't believe a word out of his mouth, but you
- 29:34Speaker 3: know you should believe. Should we believe Chase? Because it's
- 29:38Speaker 3: challenge time?
- 29:40Speaker 1: Great segue. I was waiting for it, all right. We
- 29:47Speaker 1: get another complex, almost obstacle course like challenge this week. Uh.
- 29:53Speaker 1: The first thing that they have to do is move
- 29:55Speaker 1: these giant cubes that are like frames, climb up them
- 29:59Speaker 1: to get We've seen variations of that challenge many times before,
- 30:05Speaker 1: kind of a more iconic one, but I will say
- 30:07Speaker 1: the shape seemed a little different this time. It was
- 30:10Speaker 1: like when they were flat, they were almost diamond shaped.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I don't know. Then they had to get these bean
- 30:14Speaker 1: bags that they climbed down and pulled down, throw them
- 30:18Speaker 1: through a small hoop that if you hit it would
- 30:20Speaker 1: come apart and you got to put it back together.
- 30:22Speaker 1: So it's almost like a like a throwing a football
- 30:25Speaker 1: through like one of those little arcade game things. Once
- 30:27Speaker 1: you get that and you land on them on a barrel,
- 30:30Speaker 1: then you have to dig up a bag from the sand,
- 30:33Speaker 1: which takes you to the puzzle.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Which was huge, huge. Our Canadian patron Tutter. As soon
- 30:39Speaker 3: as he saw thus digging up puzzle pieces out of
- 30:42Speaker 3: the sand thing, he said, it makes me think of him,
- 30:46Speaker 3: and I immediately knew who him was, our our King
- 30:50Speaker 3: of Andy digging up the puzzle pieces out of the sand.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I can see, I see the thrusting in my head.
- 30:59Speaker 1: So basically they have a very complicated of course, but
- 31:02Speaker 1: we have new teams, which is where things get interesting. Now.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Remember Green has usually been notoriously bad at challenges. They've
- 31:11Speaker 1: gone to tribal every single time, but no one from
- 31:14Speaker 1: the original Green is on the New Green tribe. The
- 31:17Speaker 1: New Green tribe is Thomas, Camilla, Joe, Kyle, and Shaheen.
- 31:21Speaker 1: They all come into tribal chanting and being overconfident because
- 31:25Speaker 1: they're gonna break the curse. They didn't. A little spoiler
- 31:30Speaker 1: alert for everybody at home, they lost the challenge, which
- 31:34Speaker 1: I found extremely strange. I thought that the new Purple
- 31:39Speaker 1: Tribe Mary, Eva, Star, Charity and David were actually going
- 31:43Speaker 1: to be I didn't think they were gonna figure out
- 31:44Speaker 1: that puzzle. I underestimated them. That was on me.
- 31:47Speaker 3: I was really glad that Mary got to finally win one.
- 31:51Speaker 3: And I don't think we talked about her dancing when
- 31:55Speaker 3: when she found out she was gonna be on a
- 31:56Speaker 3: different tribe, but that was probably like my favorite clip
- 31:58Speaker 3: to come out of the episode. Mary cried. I'm pretty
- 32:02Speaker 3: sure she cried when they won the challenge.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they was crying.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. From their perspective. They were
- 32:09Speaker 1: at tribal every single week, they were up net. They
- 32:11Speaker 1: were probably gonna go to tribal again. They were going
- 32:14Speaker 1: to be out of this game permanently before the merge,
- 32:17Speaker 1: before even week five, and then now they win for
- 32:21Speaker 1: the first time.
- 32:22Speaker 3: And then Vula they can't escape the curse.
- 32:25Speaker 5: I was a little worried when they're tribe lost because
- 32:28Speaker 5: that's two of our four Joe and Kyle both on
- 32:31Speaker 5: one team.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a good moment to do a quick
- 32:34Speaker 1: refresh now that they're all on different teams of our
- 32:38Speaker 1: drafted teams. So PD's team is Camilla, Eva, Bianca and Star.
- 32:46Speaker 1: The Rights, Kristen and Jonathan have Joe, Kyle, Charity and
- 32:50Speaker 1: Cedric Brand has Shaheen, Say and David. He is at
- 32:55Speaker 1: this moment the only one who has lost someone until
- 32:57Speaker 1: we get to tribal on a second and tell you
- 32:58Speaker 1: who else lost someone. He lost Justin and then my
- 33:02Speaker 1: team is Mary, Thomas, Chrissy and Mitch was I guess
- 33:08Speaker 1: I could say so.
- 33:09Speaker 3: If we're doing a vibe check, I feel fantastic, but
- 33:13Speaker 3: I'm scared of the Rights.
- 33:16Speaker 5: I'll admit that we're always your top competitors.
- 33:19Speaker 1: You guys have the strongest team in the game right now.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Joe and Kyle both strong competitors, Charity and Cedric both
- 33:27Speaker 1: strong on their new tribes.
- 33:28Speaker 3: I think I've got a good shot at this thing, Chase.
- 33:31Speaker 1: You've got Camilla, Eva, Bianca and Star, so Starr could
- 33:34Speaker 1: win it. I think I have a great shot except
- 33:36Speaker 1: for Star Star Update. Star is the winner of this season.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Her and Joe go all the way.
- 33:41Speaker 5: Were there any Star Updates after.
- 33:43Speaker 3: You want to get into because I I saw some,
- 33:48Speaker 3: but they looked pretty unhinged.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But Star Updates, I think because there's been a lot
- 33:54Speaker 1: of Survivor players that have been shouting out Star Updates.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Well, I mean you've gotten We posted about the Star
- 34:00Speaker 3: Update and Eva said Star Updates keeps me on the
- 34:03Speaker 3: edge of my seat.
- 34:04Speaker 1: In our comments on Twitter, Mary shouts out Star Updates.
- 34:09Speaker 1: A lot of other Survivor podcasts, and now've been talking
- 34:12Speaker 1: about startups. I think the popularity is going to their head. Man,
- 34:16Speaker 1: they're getting crazy. We got a evil doesn't die it
- 34:21Speaker 1: is reborn, and there's a graphic saying that Eva is evil. Uh.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Star Updates calls Eva homophobic because Star is a queer woman,
- 34:33Speaker 1: and we all know that that would be Eva's worst
- 34:35Speaker 1: nightmare because Eva hates women. I mean, dude wild. And
- 34:41Speaker 1: then we we even get a autism part four I
- 34:46Speaker 1: think dying yes, and they even she even I say
- 34:50Speaker 1: she because I'm pretty sure Star Updates is Star. She
- 34:55Speaker 1: even points out, like, is this joke dead? Who cares?
- 34:59Speaker 1: You know? Autism? Part four? Uh? Star Updates Dude, I'm
- 35:02Speaker 1: gonna be real. I think a lot of it was
- 35:05Speaker 1: very funny at first. It's starting to make me hate
- 35:08Speaker 1: Star as a player, even if Starr isn't involved with
- 35:11Speaker 1: the page.
- 35:11Speaker 3: But what if that's the goal for Star Updates to
- 35:14Speaker 3: weed out the fake Star fans like Chase and to
- 35:17Speaker 3: have a community for the real Star supporters like Team PD.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Are you for real a huge Star supporter?
- 35:23Speaker 3: I have to be. She's on my team. That's how
- 35:26Speaker 3: this works, I think.
- 35:28Speaker 5: I remember you're saying like you absolutely didn't want to
- 35:31Speaker 5: end up with Star, but then yeah you did.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Well.
- 35:34Speaker 3: I was just gonna say I was left with it
- 35:37Speaker 3: was gonna be either Cedric or Star. At that point,
- 35:39Speaker 3: I was elated to have Star. Sorry, I said in
- 35:43Speaker 3: our Hometown's Hero Cedric.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Dude, Hey, do you think when Starr was playing professional
- 35:49Speaker 1: basketball that they called her a shooting Star? Yeah?
- 35:54Speaker 3: It's good thought, Chase. We we get to the scramble,
- 35:58Speaker 3: typically my favorite part of every episode, where we know
- 36:01Speaker 3: who the targets are and Camilla plays it like she's
- 36:05Speaker 3: one hundred percent down to vote Kyle because that's the
- 36:08Speaker 3: only option that her and Kyle have is to act
- 36:11Speaker 3: like there's no chance that they would vote for the
- 36:13Speaker 3: California Girls. And if there is any possibility that the
- 36:18Speaker 3: California Girls thought that they would flip, then the advantages
- 36:22Speaker 3: might not work, or like Thomas might use his advantage.
- 36:25Speaker 3: So it was it was really it was like Operation Italy. Yeah,
- 36:28Speaker 3: I mean super excited to talk about this part because
- 36:31Speaker 3: Camilla and Kyle they're they're scheming at the top level
- 36:34Speaker 3: of intelligence. They're really playing the California Girls against themselves. Basically,
- 36:38Speaker 3: Camilla is like, hey, I will turn on Kyle, and
- 36:42Speaker 3: Kyle's like, hey, I will turn on Camilla. So the
- 36:43Speaker 3: California Girls think that they are in full control. Whoever
- 36:47Speaker 3: they vote for is going home. There are some major
- 36:51Speaker 3: elements at play though. We have a immunity idol that
- 36:55Speaker 3: Kyle has, we have a second vote that Camilla has,
- 37:00Speaker 3: and then Thomas had a stealer vote so he could
- 37:02Speaker 3: take away someone's vote.
- 37:04Speaker 1: So this is where things get a little complicated, and
- 37:07Speaker 1: I was a little confused, so I went and looked
- 37:09Speaker 1: up some information. So what happens at tribal Basically, what
- 37:13Speaker 1: happens is before they leave for tribal, Camilla gives Kyle
- 37:18Speaker 1: her extra vote. And this is the part where I
- 37:21Speaker 1: was like why, because when we get to tribal, everybody
- 37:25Speaker 1: does a great job bluffing. Because that's the thing is
- 37:28Speaker 1: if if they think that something fishy is up, if
- 37:31Speaker 1: the California girls think something fishy is up, then they
- 37:34Speaker 1: could either try to split their votes. They could throw
- 37:36Speaker 1: their votes on someone else. You know, they all vote
- 37:39Speaker 1: for Kyle, Kyle uses his immunity idol, Thomas doesn't use
- 37:44Speaker 1: the steel a vote, and just like that, Kyle stays,
- 37:49Speaker 1: Thomas goes home. And it was this really epic build
- 37:52Speaker 1: up of like what seemed like a complicated play like
- 37:55Speaker 1: Operation Italy, of like Okay, I'm giving you my extra vote,
- 37:59Speaker 1: and then we gotta make sure that they vote for
- 38:00Speaker 1: you so that you can pull that inte And really
- 38:02Speaker 1: it just kind of seemed like a basic play, right, Hey,
- 38:06Speaker 1: let's just make sure they vote for you, you use
- 38:08Speaker 1: the idol, we send them home. Why did it have
- 38:10Speaker 1: to be so complicated? So I did some research, and
- 38:13Speaker 1: this is why it was so complicated. Camilla gave her
- 38:16Speaker 1: extra vote to Kyle because in case of a tie,
- 38:20Speaker 1: so if they had split the votes on both Camilla
- 38:23Speaker 1: and Kyle, and it was a tie or if a
- 38:27Speaker 1: steal a vote happened or anything like that. Kyle, because
- 38:31Speaker 1: he was the one that used his idol, the votes
- 38:34Speaker 1: against him wouldn't count, which means that he would get
- 38:36Speaker 1: to participate in the revote. And if he got to
- 38:39Speaker 1: participate in the revote, he had the extra vote, so
- 38:44Speaker 1: it would instead of having just one vote because Camilla
- 38:48Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to vote, Kyle would still have two votes.
- 38:52Speaker 3: Wow, dude, Camilla, I could not feel better about her
- 38:57Speaker 3: being my number one pick right now of waiting for
- 39:00Speaker 3: the Camilla coming out party, and yeah, this is the
- 39:06Speaker 3: Camilla Villa grand opening. I think her and Kyle both dude.
- 39:11Speaker 3: I mean, from from the moment that they got to
- 39:14Speaker 3: that Orange Beach, they played it incredibly well, and they
- 39:19Speaker 3: kind of improved it too. I think they only got
- 39:21Speaker 3: like one moment where they could talk to each other,
- 39:24Speaker 3: at least that we saw.
- 39:26Speaker 1: I wish they would have showed a little bit more
- 39:28Speaker 1: of the complexity because it really did feel like a
- 39:30Speaker 1: complex plan, and then it was a pretty simple, just
- 39:33Speaker 1: idle play, right, But Thomas truly looked devastated, and so
- 39:38Speaker 1: did Shaheen. Dude, Shaheen was like, oh my god.
- 39:41Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Shaheen had even made a comment i think
- 39:44Speaker 5: to Camilla at one point while they were talking one
- 39:46Speaker 5: on one about oh, like you know, it's definitely what
- 39:50Speaker 5: y'all are telling us is definitely true, because there's no
- 39:52Speaker 5: way y'all could act this well or something like that.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Oh bro, and at tribal Camilla was crying.
- 39:58Speaker 5: Yeah, so good. We think that what Camilla was saying
- 40:04Speaker 5: prior to the vote was part of the plan or
- 40:07Speaker 5: do you think that was authentic?
- 40:08Speaker 3: No, it was all acting.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I think it was a lot of acting. I think
- 40:11Speaker 1: maybe because she was talking about like she was proud
- 40:14Speaker 1: of herself. I think that probably was some real emotion there.
- 40:18Speaker 3: I meant more of the like she's on the bottom
- 40:20Speaker 3: and everything. Yeah, that kind of stuff. That's what was
- 40:24Speaker 3: the acting part, because.
- 40:25Speaker 1: I mean the acting was really needed because if they
- 40:29Speaker 1: if they split those votes, it would have been a
- 40:31Speaker 1: very different tribal. But they were so confident that those
- 40:34Speaker 1: two were willing to turn on each other and they
- 40:36Speaker 1: just decided it was Kyle's time to go.
- 40:39Speaker 3: There's a lot of people saying it's better than Operation Italy.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Do you think it is knowing the complexities of the
- 40:44Speaker 1: behind the scenes with the extra vote and all that stuff.
- 40:47Speaker 1: I would say yes, but how it plays out on
- 40:49Speaker 1: the episode, it kind of just plays out like a
- 40:51Speaker 1: basic idol play of like, yeah, it was we know
- 40:54Speaker 1: that they're viting that, we know that they're voting Kyle,
- 40:57Speaker 1: let's just play Kyle's eye. Yeah.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Operation Italy was an episode long.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Arc, right, because that's the thing. If they just decided
- 41:03Speaker 1: to vote Camilla home, there's nothing that they could have done, yeah, right,
- 41:09Speaker 1: you know, other than play his idol for her.
- 41:12Speaker 3: But I did love the reaction to the domes when
- 41:14Speaker 3: they got the tribal initially because they all of these
- 41:17Speaker 3: people had never been to tribal, they hadn't seen it,
- 41:20Speaker 3: so I love how they showed them looking all around.
- 41:23Speaker 3: I think Joe and Shaheen were both looking at every
- 41:26Speaker 3: dome or that was the igodza.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Joe was like, I think there was a war.
- 41:32Speaker 3: He yeah, And.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Then Thomas Man took it like a champ. He stood
- 41:38Speaker 1: up and he was like, well, everyone was so shocked
- 41:41Speaker 1: that they just sat there, and he goes, well, are
- 41:43Speaker 1: you gonna give me a hug? And then everybody like
- 41:46Speaker 1: gets up and hugs him. He had a great attitude.
- 41:48Speaker 1: He thanks Jeff on his way out, and then even
- 41:51Speaker 1: in his like you know, final confessional at the end
- 41:53Speaker 1: of the episode, he talks about just how he's so
- 41:56Speaker 1: happy to have been a part of it. Jeff on
- 41:59Speaker 1: the on Fire podcast kind of hints that we're gonna
- 42:03Speaker 1: see Thomas again. I think everyone everyone was a really
- 42:08Speaker 1: big fan of Thomas. He was playing a really cool game.
- 42:11Speaker 1: He went home before he was supposed to, I think play.
- 42:15Speaker 3: I mean every time he was on camera, anytime he
- 42:17Speaker 3: had something to say, he shined. And it's like, this
- 42:20Speaker 3: guy's great for TV. And just his villainous attitude the
- 42:23Speaker 3: whole time too. It just it made for excellent TV.
- 42:27Speaker 5: He had a good villain persona, but like not in
- 42:30Speaker 5: the most hateable player type of way.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Thomas is great for the season, and if he had
- 42:35Speaker 3: made it longer, it would have been better for the season.
- 42:38Speaker 5: I could definitely see him being involved in a lot
- 42:40Speaker 5: of schemes.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been cool to see him.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Now this kind of brings us to the last thing
- 42:48Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about, which is Thomas is on
- 42:50Speaker 1: my team. Was on my team, which means that I
- 42:55Speaker 1: am now officially the second making the Merge host to
- 42:59Speaker 1: lose a player in the draft this season. Not feeling great,
- 43:05Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. My team is now just Mary, Chrissy,
- 43:10Speaker 1: and Mitch. And unless Chrissy really has a strong second
- 43:15Speaker 1: half of this season, Unless Mitch, you know, you know,
- 43:19Speaker 1: he's just such a likable person and he's such like
- 43:22Speaker 1: a sympathetic face of the season. No one's gonna want
- 43:25Speaker 1: to take him to the final three. So I don't
- 43:27Speaker 1: feel great about that. And Mary my number one, she's
- 43:31Speaker 1: the queen of Survivor. But I don't know if someone
- 43:35Speaker 1: with that big of a personality and that big of
- 43:37Speaker 1: a fan following, the fan favorite usually never wins the season.
- 43:40Speaker 1: So I'm not feeling good now that Thomas is gone.
- 43:44Speaker 3: No, and I wouldn't if I was you, because if
- 43:48Speaker 3: Mary doesn't go all the way, Chrissy and Mitch are
- 43:52Speaker 3: long shots.
- 43:53Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, I'm in a tough spot. I
- 43:56Speaker 1: drafted Thomas specifically because I thought he was the winner
- 43:59Speaker 1: on my heat and now he's going early, so I'm
- 44:03Speaker 1: I'm scared.
- 44:04Speaker 3: Do you know who else is probably gonna be scared?
- 44:06Speaker 3: And now they're in a tough spot. Who's that Bianca? Yeah,
- 44:11Speaker 3: because next week when she sees, it's gonna be rough.
- 44:15Speaker 3: And guys, actually, this is a little something I wrote
- 44:20Speaker 3: that is what I think Bianca's reaction is gonna be.
- 44:27Speaker 6: It was the marooning when we first man, I had
- 44:31Speaker 6: my number one, and I thought I was sad. And
- 44:34Speaker 6: on the second challenge, I you really listed start found
- 44:42Speaker 6: in Indiana? So what should we do with talks about
- 44:46Speaker 6: our future? Like we had a clue. I never thought
- 44:49Speaker 6: next tribal that I've been losing you.
- 44:54Speaker 7: In the other line, I would be on.
- 45:01Speaker 6: And we went all the chow jeez be us against
- 45:08Speaker 6: and in the vine, oh thank.
- 45:13Speaker 7: You say and Vre said you were the one, the
- 45:20Speaker 7: god away, the one then got away.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Whoam thank you for that? Pe man coming in with
- 45:32Speaker 1: the heat. So you think Bianca, now that Thomas is gone,
- 45:36Speaker 1: she's she's gonna.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Be lost, car I do I think, guys. I think
- 45:39Speaker 3: she's gonna have a meltdown next week. I hope she
- 45:41Speaker 3: bounces back, but her California girl is gone. And so
- 45:47Speaker 3: I had to do a little attribute from the same
- 45:51Speaker 3: album that was beautiful Thank you.
- 45:56Speaker 5: I loved it.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't even I mean episode peaks there.
- 46:00Speaker 1: I think, I mean, do we want to uh maybe
- 46:05Speaker 1: in the edit PD, you could just cut and paste
- 46:10Speaker 1: the song again and let's just go out listening to that.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Yeah, or I could loop this song and it just
- 46:16Speaker 3: is the whole podcast for an hour. Even better, Yeah,
- 46:19Speaker 3: we could do that. How about we do MVP of
- 46:21Speaker 3: the Week and then we wrap it up.
- 46:23Speaker 1: Let's do it all right.
- 46:24Speaker 3: I think there are two obvious choices, so I need
- 46:28Speaker 3: to go with the non obvious one. I think I'll
- 46:33Speaker 3: go with Eva because she helped Loggie win that challenge
- 46:37Speaker 3: for the first time, or she helped Mary win her
- 46:40Speaker 3: first ever challenge. I'll go with Eva.
- 46:42Speaker 1: Okay, that's solid. I'm going to lock in an obvious
- 46:45Speaker 1: answer here, and that is Camilla. What an amazing strategy player.
- 46:50Speaker 3: That's my number one pick, baby.
- 46:52Speaker 5: Yeah, Kyle's definitely an MVP of the Week. I mean,
- 46:54Speaker 5: he made an amazing play with his idol. He did
- 46:57Speaker 5: a great job with his acting and trusting in his
- 47:01Speaker 5: number one ally from day one. So I'll nominate Kyle Awesome.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean pretty pretty tight race this week between
- 47:10Speaker 1: Kyle and Camilla for that.
- 47:11Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Evil will get like two but you know,
- 47:14Speaker 3: maybe I shouldn't even Like, I mean, we're all supposed
- 47:17Speaker 3: to nominate somebody, but like we know who the MVPs are.
- 47:20Speaker 3: Should we just put up Kyle.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Up there? Because I think we we as a podcast,
- 47:27Speaker 1: need to take a stand against all those people that
- 47:29Speaker 1: are hating on Right now, all right.
- 47:31Speaker 3: We made the merge. Bye bye.
- 47:37Speaker 1: PD. That was amazing.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
- 47:41Speaker 1: You're about to hear some ads that helped keep the
- 47:44Speaker 1: lights on here in the old studio. Thanks for listening
- 47:48Speaker 1: or don't listen.
- 47:49Speaker 3: It's really up to you at this point.
- 47:51Speaker 1: It is at the end of the show. I mean,
- 47:53Speaker 1: you're listening to me Hi. But here they come. I
- 47:56Speaker 1: promised they're coming. Yep, here they are.
- 47:59Speaker 3: Happy Day.
