• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, welcome to making the merge. I've never
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in my life been more excited to make the merge
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: than I am.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This really shows and your energy right now. By the way,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, you've started this is you're
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: coming in hot in comparison to like the past two episodes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean on the last episode my intro
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was Chase sucks.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, and the one before that was all right, which.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Is fitting because I lost Gabe on that episode. But
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: this episode is the p D and Jonathan Victory lap
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: episode we get to share.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: One man. Let me tell you, I was giggling on
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: my couch the whole episode. Kristin and I were watching
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: in separate rooms because that's apparently what married couples do
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: when things have to get done around the house. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: meanwhile I was by myself on the couch, just like
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: giggling at the entire episode. But before we get too
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: far PD, I have two emails for us to read. Well,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: one email one DM. One is from Anna. Anna has
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: messaged us previously before when when we missed an episode,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: or so she thought, she said, I cannot wait in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: all caps to see what y'all have to say about
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that episode talking about this one because it was a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: good one, and so Anna, you have to the weight
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: is over. If you're hearing this, it means we're podcasting.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: And then we've got an email from Claudia. The subject
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: says I'm from Canada, and right away, you know how,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you know how happy that makes us? PD, How happy
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: are you about seeing Canada?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy about it. In our percentage of Canadian listeners,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it keeps going up. I think it's like eleven percent
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of the people who listen to us are Canadian.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's it's true, It's true. And then it's a very
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: short email, and in fact, I'm just showing you how
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: short it is. It is one line, it says I'm
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: from Canada, and then the body of the email says
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: listening to episode four team is also Canadian and that
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: was the end of the email. So we didn't know it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We had multiple Canadians circling around in the Survivor world,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so there we go.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Well, this was a great episode
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: for one Canadian and a horrible episode for the other Canadian,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: so we will get into that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Man, it really was I loved this episode. To me like,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: just at the top of this podcast episode, this is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: my favorite episode of the season, me too, believe.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, before we get into it, we're just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: going to talk about how much it made us happy
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and how much we love it. Vaguely, Yes, it's true.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: After this episode is like, I love Jeff Probst, I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: love Survivor. I love Survivor so much.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I was hype, dude. I was like, I felt like
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I was I was having like a euphoria moment after
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: watching this episode. I was like, this is Survivor. This
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: is the episode I've been waiting for all season. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we'll get into who led to that, but yeah, it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: just it was just a beautiful, great episode, great editing
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: all the way through.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Well, let's bring you down for a moment, because the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: way we begin the episode, it's in a way we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all saw coming because Sue is taking her victory lap
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: post Kyle vote out, And how did this make you feel.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Dude? Sue infuriates me and it gets worse every week,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Like I feel it feels like I'm in therapy right now,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and maybe I should be for this, but it just
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: makes me feel so angry every time I see Sue
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: on screen, and I'm sure that she's like a nice person,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but I just feel like the game is bringing out
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: something out of her that is so angry at Kyle. Yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that it's baffling to me. Meanwhile, we also get it,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we get like a look into why her face is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: so dirty because she's rooting around looking for stuff all
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Wait, so yeah, we got to talk about that how
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: she literally has an idol but she's crawling through mud
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at the chance of getting a second idol.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But apparently she's doing it so much that she's dirty
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: every day of her life out there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she's also around the fire all the time too,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: so he thinks she's like messing with the fire and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: then scratching her face and then crawling through mud, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's just this combination or she's just the dirtiest.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know it's and not only that,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: but at one point Caroline, she's like, hey, Caroline, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: have something on your face? Like she tells, yeah, something
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on her face.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm really glad you brought that up, because I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the entire world was like the Leonardo DiCaprio like pointing
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: at the no you have something on your face all
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: As soon as she said it, I was like, what,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: what are Like? Whoever the cameraman was they caught that moment.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I know he's sitting behind the lens, just like I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: should win an award for what I just catch your
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: care Yeah, but one of my players. So well, that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what we get at the top of the show though,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is like her taking a victory lap and Caroline kind
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of talking about her right and and kind of saying, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: their bond was good, and Sue is digging for idols.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like a mother daughter bond. And it wasn't just that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Like Sue said that they've been running the game, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: nobody realizes it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I mean. She makes me so angry. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: just I don't understand what makes her think that they're
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: running the game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Kyle going home, that's it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But but what about the rest of the game Sue again.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly, because I mean the whole thing was Sue is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: like letting Gabe run the game for them. Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well it's just Sue. Oh, I can't can
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: talk about anymore.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta we gotta move on from Sue.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But I'll let you have it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: This is our first episode since we posted the clip
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of us saying that Sue hates orphans and when that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: blew up, Yeah, it got like a quarter of a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: million views. And I mean, do I regret drafting her, Absolutely,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but she has provided some good entertainment value here.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Here's the truth of this, Listeners. I love calling the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: listeners listeners by name. We thoroughly did not expect any
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of our tiktoks to blow up or for us to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: have as many listeners as we do, let alone some
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of the other things that are cooking right now. It's crazy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's like we didn't anticipate this. So our draft picks
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: were purely based around what we were feeling just as
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a group of friends, not for the drama, not for
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the TikTok views. But pet that pick and her still
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: being in the game has really u. It's really rewarded
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: us as a whole over here on making the merge.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, someone was gonna be stuck with her,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I guess had to be me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yep, it did. You're kind of a glutton for punishment
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: though with some of your picks, like have we discussed this,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Like last season you picked Bonu and you were like,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Bonu's a saint. And meanwhile, Bonu broke down and blamed
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: God for even ending up on The Survivor.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I stand by my Andy and Bonu picks one hundred
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and I have. I mean, Andy, we'll get into why
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I've Yeah, I've been completely vindicated, but to talk about
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Bonu for a little bit and then to move on,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone wants to be reminded of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Bonu except for me.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: We didn't have a we didn't have a podcast when
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Bonni happened. We did.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: We did this purely for the love of the game
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: for the past three years, and then we thought, hey,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what if we made this into content? But yeah, my
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: pick of Bonu. So what was left in the draft
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was Bonu, Liz Wilcox, and Ben Katzman, and I was like, Okay,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: none of these people have a shot, so I'm gonna
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: go with the one who makes me laugh every week.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I went with Ben. And Ben has acknowledged our podcast.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: By the did so he did, and so I'm sorry
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for a discrediting you in our draft. Ben.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, I thought you were apologize to me
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: at first, but all accepted all behalf of him, like
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a reward or a ceremony.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I did grow to love Ben because he's a big
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: fan of Metallica and Oasis, which I am. Also.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was a big That was a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: big thing that pulled on your heart strings. Anyway, enough
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: about forty about.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Old seasons of Survivor and and Bonu.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And only only old old seasons.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Genevieve and her continuing identity crisis. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: she's realizing now that she has to make friends and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it might be too little, too late, but she apologized
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to Andy for discrediting his game, and she said that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: she'd be willing to make herself small and to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the dog with the tail tuck between its legs. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: even though she wants to be the big, bad wolf.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's true. I needed I needed Genevieve to learn this
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: lesson because I think it might still be too late
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: for her to be a winner this season, but it
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: could get her to the final three, which is all
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I need for Chase to end up with that tattoo
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of Bonu. To circle back to forty six for a second.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: But she was just she's been making me nervous by
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: playing so strategically and not having any friendships. That has
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: definitely been her downfall this season, like she has no true,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: like personal connections with anybody.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It feels you can't play that way anymore either. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that she would even take that route.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'm surprised knowing that that was what was
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: going on in her mind, that she even made it
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this far, Like if that was actually what her theory was,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised she wasn't gone sooner. But it might be
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: because she was just so good at being strategic at points.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: But and she was just so affected by Kishan that
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: literally her whole game changed because of a quote from
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Kishan before he left the game.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy character energy from him, where he's like,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I trusted.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, who knew that? Somebody who? Who didn't?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I Mean the only thing Kishan did was get caught
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: by Rome when Tiny was showing Kishan the idol. That's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: like all I remember from Kishan.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I remember that in him saying he trusted Genevieve, That's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: all I remember. And I remember him being Chases player,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: so that maybe it's three things I remember.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And Chase was high on him too. But who
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: knew that one little comment to Genevieve would have such
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: an effect on the rest of the Season's.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Changed the course of history for us and changed Italy's destiny.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that, and I actually I want you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to take us through the next thing because we got
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Genevieve and Teeny talking on the beach and take it
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: from there.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, dude, Okay, Teeny. This episode lost every
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: ounce of good graces I had, like in my soul
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: because they were There were moments where I was like, well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Teenie's nice enough, right Like, Teenie's kind of
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: getting drug along, doesn't doesn't have a plan, right Like,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: she does not actually do much this season to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: as far as she is. That was my opinion of her.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: This episode, we begin to see like this very uh.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I saw someone say that Sue and Teeny are giving
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: mean girl energy, and I was like, that's that's accute,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that's the energy we're getting from both of them.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I gotta cut you off real quick and say that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I actually saw Chase in person a couple of days ago,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: actually it was yesterday. I was like, you know, it
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: is funny we live like fifteen minutes away from each other,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but we exclusively meet on Zoom and UH and different
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: different like FaceTime apps.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Here's a question, I had lunch with you within the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: past year in person? Did you have lunch with Chase
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: at all in the past year.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Dang me and Chase.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: For those who don't know, I live four hours away
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: from me and Chase.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Man, I got to meet up with Chase more. I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: think that's what this is telling me. But I was
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: saying all that to say that I saw Chase yesterday.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Chase was supposed to come on today, but he felt
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: sick and he had to cancel. But here's what Chase
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: said to me. He said, y'all better not come after
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Teenie tomorrow, like I'm gonna be there to defend Teeny.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it sounds like he's too sick to defend.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: So it's the thing. Genevieve sits down on the beach,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: tries to have a normal conversation with Teeny, like trying,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: trying desperately to Now, I don't think Genevieve is playing
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it very well, so I will give Teeny that. However,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Teeny just her reception of what Genevieve is saying, it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: like there's not even an attempt to try to bury
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the hatchet, like she is just petty. It's it's very petty.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Well, what was it? It was the conversation was Genevieve
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: was saying, how big of a threat Rachel is? Yeah,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Teeny asked if Rachel's still there or like, if me
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and Rachel are at.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: The end, yeah, yeah, would you get my vote? And
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: she's like, I don't know that I would vote for
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you if Rachel's at the end. A threat me, You
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: threaten me, You say that you're not going to vote
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: for me at the end, and it's like both of
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you to assume that you're gonna be at the end. Teeny.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Now see that sound by my age poorly, So you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: might want to make a mental note of it from
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the TikTok.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: But you know what said to me, Chase said, you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know Saul loves Teeny. Him and Seni are friends, so
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you can't come after Teeny too hard, I think, Saul.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: So you've got look, we know that Saul is listening.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: We've confirmed that he listens and that he knows uh
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the information. So Saul, it's all It's all fair in
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: love and war, is what I'm gonna say.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, Saul didn't Saul never did anything wrong,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: so we didn't have anything to complain about. But if
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he did, would have held him accountable.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Saul was the glue that held us all together on
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: this podcast because he's the He's the one player that
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: all of us I think wish you would have drafted
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the entire Sies.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if Saul had won the game, everybody else
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: who didn't draft him there would be no complaints.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd be fine. We'd be totally fine with that. So, uh, Saul,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: if you're listening to this, Uh, we're shared. Teeny is
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: a very nice person, but come on, Teeny, you gotta
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: cut it out, chill out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: The scene ended with Teeny in a confessional and she
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: said that they're scared of Sam and Genevieve and they're
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: sick of Sam and Genevieve, and that one of them
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: is going home tonight.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it was. It was very bold. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: think it's weird that this this whole narrative where they're like,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: we're scared of Sam Genevieve. We're so scared of Sam
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and Genevieve. Meanwhile, they have a majority vote, and they're
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: just like, they're going home. We're scared of them, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: You're like, why are you scared? They're both at the bottom.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: If you're actually as sure of what you're saying, you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: so why is so much year? Maybe we'll find out,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: is what I'll say. But uh, yeah, they're all scared.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: They're all scared of Sam and Genevieve and Teeny's very upset.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to the immunity. And I think
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the first thing they knew was it was Italian food
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: because they withheld the love letters. I mean, not love
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the loved one letter, Jeff Probs, the survivor love letters.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: That's what this is. This is what our podcast is,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is a survivor love.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Letter, Survivor love Island.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Before they knew about the letters from loved ones.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It's funny how just a little bit of a scrambling
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: of those words will completely change the meaning.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so before before they knew about that, all they
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: knew was it was Italian food. And I want to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: talk about because we haven't talked about this all season,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the little like roll call Jeff does where he says
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: an item of food or oh my gosh, like they
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: all have their chicken. Oh my gosh, I eat fried
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: chicken every day.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Key, we on a skewer, and they're like, oh.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Just everything, every single thing. He says, they all have
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this reaction where it's like five year olds finding out
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: they get goldfish.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, they like well as curious, say, they all act
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: like they're starving, because maybe they are a little bit.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: But maybe I would do that too if I was starving.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But now if you can tell he revels in it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: He loves doing it like he does a like a.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: What would you describe your voice?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: He was about to say, like, how would you describe
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the voice that you have?
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Almost like a like a sultry, like tempting voice, where
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: he's like, we have pizza fixens, we have cheeses, red wine,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: sowd and they're all just like they're just losing their minds.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: And then he's like worth playing for. I bet it
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: is your dirty little players. That's probably what he's thinking eternally,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just like just get pretty weird.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Jeff I said earlier in the season that when he
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: did the Kyle with the Wings thing that he was
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the devil on the shoulder. I just I think he
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: enjoys like tempting people.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he he enjoys sending people to the sanctuary where
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: good things happen.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So then we get the reward challenge and it's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, it's like, yeah, wasn't that great.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's all about navigating a ball through some
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: obstacles and then you shoot the ball onto two different
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: platforms and yep, and then Sam wins.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Sam flew, dude, he flew under that net so fast,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: like he was behind and then all of a sudden,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: he was just he was out. He was done, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: you know, he threw him up and landed him. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: then we got to him picking who goes to the sanctuary.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: With him, and it's the worst position you can be
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: in in survivor, Like the person who chooses you to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: get to hear from your family and the rest of you.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Don't you don't want to be that person. He picks
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Andy because apparently at some point he told Andy he
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: would take him.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Which was Andy's great move. He was surprised.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Andy was a good move. And then
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: he takes Genevieve and he says that the reason is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just because Genevieve loves Italian.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was like, I can't do Italian without Genevieve,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and we immediately see more rage from Teeming. So buckle up,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Chase if you're listening, and.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I do have something to play from Chase. Oh man,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know before we get into Teeny's reaction.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness, I live further than you from him, you know.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So all right, let's uh, let's listen in on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: what Chase had to say.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, guys, sorry, I couldn't be there. I'm sick, sick
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and tired of you guys making fun of Teeny. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: already know that you guys are about to do this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: All I want to say is that y'all need.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: To leave Teeny alone.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Teeny was one hundred percent right this entire episode.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: She knew the shenanigans that was going on, and she
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: kept telling everybody, Hey, let's not do that, let's.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Not split the vote. But did anyone listen to Teeny?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: No, And everybody's going to talk about Teenie's meltdown and the.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Edit that she received this episode.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: If you have never been upset with a strange white man,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: then then I guess you.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I guess we can't be.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Friends because that situation.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: To me, there's a strange white man on the island
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: named Sam, and Teeny got a little frustrated with him. Hey,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: it happens to me daily, mostly with you two. The
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: only person I respect out of the making the Merged
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: podcast hosts is Kristen because she is a woman, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: you guys seem.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: To hate women.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: So I wish I could be there to defend Teeny
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: in person.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: But hopefully this will do.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That, Uh, that would have been a good joke from
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: him about two aggravating white guys if I hadn't beat
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: him to the joke. Yeah, you know, that would have
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: been really funny, Chase, if I wasn't quicker to it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: But I appreciate what Chase is saying if it's on mute,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: because he's absolutely wrong Teeny.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate Chase, you know, giving an alternative perspective.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that feels way more passive. You're like, that
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: was really something, Chase, that's what we should say. He's
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: correct that Teeny was saying things are a miss, but
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: she hasn't played hard enough where people are like, oh, yeah,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you're right. This is this is a wise decision, Teeny.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: The people who won the reward to go to the sanctuary,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: they left, and then Jeff's like, all right, they're gone.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Is there anything that you would like to say.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: About because he knew television.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Teeny puts the hand up and starts,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know that it was the beginning of the meltdown.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Starts going into it. And I think what I gathered
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: from it was I hate Sam. Why didn't Sam take
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: me to the sanction?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Even though I in the beginning of this episode talked
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: about how Sam's going home. There's a clear pecking order.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm scared of them, I'm sick of them. Why didn't
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: he pick me?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I want the sanctuary so bad because he won't let
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: me have it. Yeah, Teeny lost control, dude, I just
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Teeny lost her cool. That's what we saw. Just like, well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: let me take a second before I say something to right, regret.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I hate all quarterback type guys. You're like, that might
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: be the thing you regret.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Teeny, which I mean, let's be fair, most quarterback type
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: guys do suck. But I don't think Sam is like that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I think Chase is like that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: So we could just keep on moving forward, right, like, uh,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: it's but I do feel like there's a deep resentment
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: for Sam that came from before the island.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: That's I will agree with that. And to that, I say,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that's really sad. I hate that. We don't we don't
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: want that happening. But Teeny take it easy.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: We went to the sanctuary where they were opening the letters,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: but then they cut to camp where Teeny was continuing
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the meltdown, and yeah, that was where it was pretty funny.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's where the all American quarterback thing came from,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: And it also is where she kept saying. She kept
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: like fake clapping right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Like guy or something.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Why not stand up guy, Sam? You just you just
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: voted yourself off. Well done, Sam, well done?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Last supper? She said.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Last she did say less supper, which is a pretty
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: good joke. I feel like that's pretty funny. But the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the thing though, is that I felt like I was
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: picking up from the other people around her that they
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: also were kind of done with it, Like they agreed
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: with her, but.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: They were like they thought her they were laughing but hilarious.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: But didn't it feel a little awkward to you? Like
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it felt like there they were laughing because they were like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: this is a lot. That's what it felt like to me.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I think they were just laughing because they thought that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: her impression of him was funny, which it was the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: only thing that I'll give teeny a gold star for
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in this episode is she did a very accurate Sam impression.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: M m hm, and uh, I mean that's maybe the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: only good thing she did this episode.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: So it was, Yeah, that was one gold star and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: then a bunch of whatever the opposite of a gold
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: star is for the rest of the things you did.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Detention, I don't know, school setting.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Chase En.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Detention with the jock, the quarterback, how about that? Yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that's the ultimate punishment.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: So again, apologies to Soul and to Chase, but you know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: well not to Chase.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: No, I don't want to. I'll apologize to all day
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: long if I have to.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the different reactions to the last that's uh,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: let's move on from apologizing to Saul all day long. Okay.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So Sam and Andy kind of had the typical reaction
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of like this is gonna fuel me in the game,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you know, like I'm really glad to have this, and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: they shed a teers, but Genevieve, her father told her like,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I bet you have so many friends on the island, which.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Which is the worst thing to say.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, prompted an emotional breakdown because she's like, I have
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: no friends. She cried to the camera and she was like,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: who chooses to do that? Who doesn't have any friends?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Like why?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I like to imagine that if Sue had gotten
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a letter, it would be from her husband and he's like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I bet you have the cleanest face on the island.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: You know, it'd be like that pointed as well, but
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: it's yeah, Genevieve, I think that letter just solidified where
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: she was already heading, which was I've I've gone too far.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And that's when she kind of breaks down and starts
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: talking about Keisha on as well, and you know that
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: affecting her so much. They get they gave that a
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: little bit more time right there, if I'm not mistaken.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she is getting a lot of time
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to tell this story. And guys, we are we are
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: in the final six after this episode we were talking
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: about ended and wow, and Genevieve has a great chance
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to get a bonu tattoo on Chase's body. Yeah, it's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: closer and closer. I can feel it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I can I think A dude, I don't know. I want,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I want my faith to be strong that she's gonna
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: be in that final three. But it's just so hard
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: to stay strong because I'm not so sure she's gonna
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: make it up. But the sanctuary was used for where
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: good things happened, that's for sure. This this week, it
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: was used how it needed to be used.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about, like, now, what made this
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest episodes that I can remember.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I've seen him forever.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Andy, he wakes up after like the day
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: after they ate all the food and stuff, and he's like,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I've got a plan. I will up this morning with
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a plan, and I want this to be the defining
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: conversation like of this night and of the rest of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the game. And at that point, what were you thinking,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Like did you think this is legit?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: When he said that, I felt the glimmer of hope
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: to return back to me because I thought for sure
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Genevieve was going to go home at the end of
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: this episode. And as soon as he said I came
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: up with an idea. I thought Andy's about to flip
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: on these people that are back there because he he
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: needs to make a move. And boy did they. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: mean they used the sanctuary to just pull a complete
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Ocean's eleven style heist plan together.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: The Survivor heist of the century, dude, the Operation.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Italy beautiful beautiful name because they said they ate Italian food.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: They're gonna call it Operation Italy. They start, I mean,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the edit is great. They start doing like the split
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: screen stuff like Ocean's eleven, and I'm just eating it
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: up and I'm giggling on the couch. This is where
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I got giddy. Boy, this is where it is where
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I felt the hype. I felt it in my soul.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So Andy, he's like, I know you might be trying
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to whine and dye met, but like let's get down
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to business, Like I have an idea and like we
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: can really make a move in this game, because if
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: they don't do this, all three of them are screwed.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad Andy realized that because he would be like,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the women are all gonna be together and he's gonna
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: get his head chopped off.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's what I was hoping he would realize
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: eventually because they were not being quiet or shy about
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the fact that it was an all women's alliance and
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm like, Andy, what do you think is gonna happen? Dude, Like,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get almost to the end and then you're
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: gonna go home if something doesn't change.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And then Andy he decides he's gonna like, He's like,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I could go out swinging, but like, we've at least
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: got to try this or none of us have a chance,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad he did. So let's talk about
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: like the mechanics of Operation Italy, which yep, I don't know.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe they tried to call it Operation Olive Garden and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a producer is like, hey, we don't have the rights
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, They're like, do you want to try Operation Applebee's
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And they're like, no, no, no, we can't do that
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: this season either, not.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: After last year Operation Mushroom Burger.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So, the short version of Andy's plan is build suspicion
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that Genevieve has an idol, get them to split their
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: votes on Sam and Genevieve while the three of them
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: vote Rachel yep and yep, yeah, I thought you know
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that is genius if it all goes to plan.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And this is when my not even I never like
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: hated Andy, I was just like, what is he doing?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: You didn't take them seriously and take him seriously. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: that's where that to This episode is where it shifted
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: for me. And I even texted the group and I said,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I might be a fan of Andy now like I
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: might be a fan and uh, maybe it was because
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: he took the glasses off. You know, I don't I
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: can't remember if he had the glasses on or not
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: during this plan, but it's basically, yeah, built suspicion. Genevieve
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: needs to convince people she has an idol, make them
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: split the votes, which then means two and two, and
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: then they think Andy is going to vote, but then
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: he doesn't and votes with a majority of three against
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: someone else, and uh, pete, how many ways could this
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: have gone wrong?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: There were so many. That's why I was. I didn't
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: think this was a slam dunk at any point. I
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: was like that, now, less see the scene where somebody
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: slips up, and then yep, the plan completely changes and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Andy or Genevieve or Sam are the ones going home.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And I just kept waiting for that to happen. But
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it's like each little detail that they planned out they
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: carried out to perfection.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Well not only that, but they they were working with
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the fact that Rachel has an idol, Sue has an idol,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Rachel has an advantage where she could just take one
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of their votes.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Away and it's a minefield.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then let's talk about immunity challenge because we
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: almost skipped that. We almost went too far.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Look, we're too excited about Operation Italy. Yes, yeah, before
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the immunity challenge, I'm pretty sure Andy was already starting
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to build the suspicion of the idol.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: And that was like the only and Sam was just like,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm on the bottom, I'll do whatever, So let's get
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to the challenge.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: That was like, yeah, it was super lame and do
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: we even need to really talk about it, because, I mean,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: it's just one important thing about the immunity challenge.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Well, there was another important thing about it, and that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: was that they had few huge mallets and they had
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to move skulls into a basket with the huge mallets.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: So that was really random for it to be like,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: all right, skulls and mallets and now you've got to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: balance the thing on like a ping pong paddle, a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: giant ping pong paddles. What it looked like.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: It's a lame finished because Rachel just nails it. She
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: had the magic touch for it and takes immunity.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Something you might not have seen that. I've been told
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that Sam alluded to throwing the challenge on purpose because
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: they knew none of them could win for the operation
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to continue.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: WHOA is this something that was said in the episode?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: No?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, dude, they should it? Oh my if they if
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: they even mentioned that on camera, it is a mistake
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: that they didn't put it in the show.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe they just didn't want to advertise them throwing the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: challenge maybe or they don't. I feel like they had.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: But that's like such a that's such a good move though,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: because I feel like that would have been great to show.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Is like these three people collectively throw a challenge, but
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: convincingly enough so that their main plan works. That's like
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: that is like played Survivor right.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: There, Dude's what we're talking about with all the variables
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and how they mapped out everything and somehow navigated this
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: minefield of like all these different things that could go wrong.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and so Rachel takes immunity, which really
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: is problematic because she's because she's the target now, she
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: just by default is immune, but also has a floating
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: idol out there that she can just throw on somebody
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: else if she really wanted to. And so does Sue,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and then she can take the vote, and so Project
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Italy continues, and Genevieve fashions a very convincing idol. In
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: my opinion, I would have believed that that was an
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: actual idol having seen the other ones in the in
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: She did do a good job with that, and the
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: operation ended up settling on Caroline as the new target
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: after they got back to the beach, which is the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: smartest play, you know, out of all those people, I think,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: because I mean, Teenie's on the bottom teen he hasn't
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: really done anything.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And he's going to be straight up depressed after this.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, and Sue are both people you want to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: bring to the end with you. So the only option
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: really was Caroline.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yep. And Caroline is a sleeper, good player, like she's
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: done a good job with even like social game and stuff.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But it's a great move to try to get her
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: out because of how close her and Sue are, because
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is going to bring Sue to
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the brink of just fury and gonna make her target
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: herself if she's so angry and distant and I don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: want to be here and all this stuff could pull
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the heat off of everybody else.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Netch, she might target Andy with a machete.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Dude, I do not I can't even calculate how mad
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: she's gonna be Andy for this.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Like, I hope we get an f Andy montage the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: way we got told about Kyle Man.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I really hope so too.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You know, Teeny did not want the vote split, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Andy was so insistent, and she's like, you know what,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: your plan is probably the right plan, but I just
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I really wanted on Sam. But to everybody and every
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: conversation that Andy had, he's like, we got to split
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the votes. That idol's too dangerous, you know, gotta split it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: He he did a great job, and I don't I
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: don't think that that falls on Teeny because Teeny was very,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: very very vocal about the fact that like splitting the vote.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna go well. I think there's
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: a problem. But Andy's just so good and so convincing,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: and this is what I mean, I'm suddenly a fan
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of Andy.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is a master. After all, he.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Just sat there and he's so convincingly made them so
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: on edge. And then not only that, but Genevieve then
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: shows Teeny this fake idol.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Teeny goes over there, like Teeny, Sam and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Genevieve are talking, and then Teeny goes over and for
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: some reason, Teenie's like, hey, the votes are on you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe Teeny was trying to suss out like if Genevieve
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: would give up the idle information.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Oh she that's what it was. Yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Genevieve gives the most baller quote of the season after
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Teenie says the votes are on you or Genevieve was like,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: keep the votes on me. I'll be fine.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I'll be fine. But it's like a
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: depressing like the way that she says it is like
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: like defeat to me.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: She sounded like mischievous.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I guess maybe that was more of what
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: she was implying because she wanted her to think she
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: had an idol. And then Teeny is like, are you
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: saying what I think you're saying, and she's like, I'm
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: saying what you think I'm saying, and then flashes it
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: very quickly, and then even in a in a talking
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: head moment, is like, I want to show her, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I don't want to show her too long because then
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: she may realize that it's fake. Yeah, but I also
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to show her for too short of a
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: time because then it looks like it's not real as well.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: She was talking with Sam, but it was Andy who
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: walked up. Who just happened to walk up. It's like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: did they plan that? You know that part?
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: It would it would be a smart move, but it
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: made it to where Genevieve showed and then was like, oh,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I've got to hide it. I don't want Andy to see,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: which then just further solidifies that they're not working together
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: quote unquote. So there's just so many good, good lies
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and moves being made this episode.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It was a lot to come up with this. Yeah,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, and then it's like, if this Operation Italy
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen, me and you have our Survivor draft dreams
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: destroyed for the season.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like and then there's I mean that they
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: never once stopped working on this though, all the way
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: up until the votes are read. So I mean, we
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: we get into tribal and they're not even hinting at
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the fact that something else is gonna happen. Like you
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: know how some players get so cocky about a plan
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: that they're like, I don't know, Jeff, maybe things aren't
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: as they seem, and it like completely throws everything into
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: a tailspin. They didn't do that. They just Genevieve was like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: if I go home, I go home. You know, all
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: of them just played it, dude. And then there was
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the moment where I thought they're they're geniuses, which was
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: the votes had been written down and they're brought out
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: and then Sam looks at Genevieve and says play it,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: play it, and she says, no, I think I'll be
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: fine about the fake idol, So that everyone in that
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: tribe now it's like the heat is off of them
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: in this weird way, but now they all are gonna
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: still be convinced that Genevieve has a real idol because
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Sam is like, you should play it. Well, even with
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: that the part where he's like play it and she's
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: like I'll be fine. If she had been voted out
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: and left, then they wouldn't be accused of being in
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: like an entire plan with each other, Yeah, because it
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: would be like, oh, she just didn't play her idol.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: There would be no idea that it was a fake idol.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: People would just think she went home with an idol
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: in her pocket. So it was kind of like a
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: nice gesture of like, if this plan doesn't work, y'all
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: aren't gonna be as in as much heat as it
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: would be if they knew that we had fashioned an
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: entire espionage plan. You know.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: You know what else is crazy about the idol is
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that Sue and Caroline went through Genevieve's bag trying to
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: find it.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's such a survivor thing. I feel like,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: once per season you have somebody digging through somebody's bag,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and you know what they never find is the idol
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: because they've always got it on their person.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: It's always it's tucked in their underwear somewhere of the time.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's in a sock or in the underwear.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So so we get to the votes, How confident were
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: you when the votes were being read?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: What did you think, dude, I genuinely I had. I
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: feel like I felt fifty to fifty all the way
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: until the votes got read.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Me too, because praying and hoping that would go through.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: And here's what's great about this experience, too, is you
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: know I mentioned earlier Kristin and I were watching in
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: separate rooms as this episode started to culminate and build
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: and build. Kristin gets the baby to sleep and runs
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: in here and we like immediately throw it on the
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: TV and we're like, we've got to watch this together
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: because this is about to be the most failed plan ever,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: or it's going to be unbelievable.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: So it thankfully was unbelievable because freaking Caroline went home. Dude,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: it literally worked. I can't believe it. Jeff reads the
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: final vote and Caroline is very blind sided by this,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: all of them, but though she's smiling, but it's like
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: that angry smile.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, exactly, That's what I was about to say.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Like a like a scoff, like a very angry laugh.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: And I want to ask, did you notice what the
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: jury said after the plan worked?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? They were. Gabe was like that was Andy, Like
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Andy did insult that said it too.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and someone maybe Saul, I don't know, someone said
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Andy flipped again, and I thought this could go either
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: way for how the jury pictures it. If Andy makes
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: it to the end, I just don't see how they
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: wouldn't see it as a good move. But Andy's flipped
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a lot, and this is like the ultimate flip, but
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: it's more so for his benefit because he would have
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: gone home.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Andy has flipped because he's had to, and I
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: think he could do a great job if he makes it,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: which I think the road now after pulling off this
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: huge vote is very difficult for him to make it,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: especially when Sue has an idol and Rachel has two advantages.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be really hard for Andy to get through.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm guessing that the next tribal we're
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: going to see an idol play because it's been so
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: long now and you know, the numbers are are shrinking.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I just I think that we're gonna see them try
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: to vote Sue or Teeny out.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think everybody's gonna be like,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I can beat Sue and Teeny, so I have to
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: keep them in the game.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: That's maybe maybe so and I don't know, though.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I think the thing I'm most confused about is what
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Genevieve and Sam will do. Will they stick with Andy
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: or will they do their own thing?
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: And see that's again Andy has flipped so many times
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: that while this plan worked and is fine, I don't
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: know that a person could feel like they completely trust Andy.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, Andy could also be the target of a
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: next vote because you've got a bunch of really angry
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: people with him right now and some that just kind
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: of went with him because they were at the bottom. Then.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, It'll be interesting to see what next
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: week holds for us.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: But well, they didn't just go with them. They were
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: as giddy as we were about the plan.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true. Not just go with it. I
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: phrased that terribly. A great episode, great episode, ten out
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: of ten. Loved it. Yeah, no notes, Yeah, other than
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: my only note would be that if they really threw
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: that challenge, I would have loved to have seen it
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: at least mentioned in the episode. That would have been
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: really great to know.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been awesome. Let's talk about how
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: it affects our draft picks. So Operation Italy, although it
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: involved somebody from my team, your team, and Kristen's team.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Kristin got screwed over, but.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: That's true, she did. In fact, I wonder if I
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: can get Kristin on the podcast for a moment Edie.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I've hunted down my sweet beautiful bride to tell her
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: that she lost this week on Kristin, how do you
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: feel about the legacy of your team after such a
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: tragic loss.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I think my team is doing great. I had three
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: players left out of the seven the final seven, so
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: I'm still in the running with two players in the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: final six, and we all knew Caroline wasn't gonna be
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: my winner, so it's all right. Wow, I feel I
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: feel fine.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Well, so who are you banking on now? Because Teeny
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: had a horrible episode.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Sam is Teeny is spiraling a little bit. I don't
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: know if she's gonna if she's gonna turn it around
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: or not. I still think Sam could win. He's almost
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: like done this reverse thing where he's becoming the underdog
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: trying to like work his way back up.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like he stayed the underdog. Kristin, I feel
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: like Sam has not had a good seaton.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: He was good in like the first three episodes.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a good episode tonight.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good episode tonight. Kristen, I don't think you have
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: the winner. I don't think you have the winner of
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Survivor on your team.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: We will see.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I mean we all know it's Sue.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I think I think PD definitely has the winner. Andy.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: I will say Andy actually impressed me this week, which
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: maybe Jonathan has already said that. Yeah, I was like,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: what the heck, Andy, He's actually like pulling something off.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Andy is showing.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Careful Andy, They're gonna know your full power. If we
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: were we were texting. Okay, So another full disclosure moment
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: for the people on the podcast. We all try to
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: watch live, but sometimes we don't all get to watch live,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: so there's there's three chats. Kristin and I always end
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: up watching together. So we have a chat called the
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: no Chase Chat and the No p D Chat, and
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: that's where we just pick who's gonna watch live with
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: us and we.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: Text that person you're allowed to watch live tonight.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're like, opd's watching live and Chase isn't time
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: to go to the no Chase chat with PD. Now,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: if everybody's present, then we just go to you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: ours hips hips. Yeah, Andy's hips, and we could change
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: it at any point, but we have it. And yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: we were all texting in the no PD chat saying
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: that we were now kind of fans of Andy after
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: this move.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it took y'all long enough. I think y'all didn't
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: take him seriously because of his hip thrusting. But he
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: has thrusted his way into the final six.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: He is just relieved that he gets to pretend like this, He.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Pretending I picked Andy with conviction and.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: He picked him out of ignorance. Pet and now that
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: ignorance is showing off, it's working for you.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Andy is what I dreamed of Bonu being.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: He's won a million of hearts and Bonu didn't even
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: get there. I just it's it is frustrating that Andy
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: is as good as he is now.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: But I just don't think.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: He can hold on. I don't think he can hold
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: on much longer.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: But he seems like the type. He seems like the
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: type that would like barely grasp something. Yeah, and then
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: it just fumbles.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: That's kind of sad. Kristin, that's that's the most.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, please forgive me.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Still discredited him.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: This is only in the context of Survivor. I'm sure
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: that it's much different for you in real life.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's only when the glasses come off and Survivor
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: that we really get it to UH to see you know,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: what he's up to. But well, thank you Kristin for
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: being on the podcast as a guest this week.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: What's that? What's the water in the background?
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, you still hear water in That's a fountain that
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Kristin bought for our cats.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, owners, if.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: You've got a cat at home, get them a fountain.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: They're picky and they'll love it. And they'll also take
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: their little grimy pause and scoop it out and leave
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: a mess for you in the morning.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So thank you to Kristin, and thank you
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: to the cat fountain for making an appearance.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I'll see you guys when I went in the finale.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: All right, So I have a Jeff quote. I have
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: a Jeff quote of the week.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Is it as good as the dogs quote?
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Because I don't think that can be topped, but it
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: is an entertaining Jeff quote.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, great, I can't wait.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: All right, And you know this kind of relates to
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: UH to the feelings that Teeny had about, you know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: having some intense emotions on Survivor. So all right, the
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Jeff quote of the week.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna light to you and it might hurt your feelings,
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: and you might get injured, you might be starving, you
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: might lose your mind.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: That's why you do it. He sounds like Palpatine. Yeah,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: that's why you do it.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know that's why you do it. I do
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: love Jeff props. I feel like he has like podcasts
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Jeff and then like host Jeff. There's just two different modes.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: That's how you do it.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Though, Yep, I feel like he should have said that
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: to Teeny. But you know all this bad stuff that
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it can happen to you, But that's why you do it.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like ratings would have skyrocketed already in
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a great episode.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: And then lightning shoots from his fingers.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unlimited, beautiful. Thank you Jeff for keeping the world
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: turning with those quotes.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, just a little teaser for next week.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I have the most insane Jeff clip of all time
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that is like two years old that I went and
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: dug up because I remembered it whoa, and we're going
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: to premiere that next week on the finale.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, wait is next week the finale?
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: It's the I mean they're calling it that. It's the
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: two part finale.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Two part or two hour finale. It's like four hours
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: long or whatever. Huh Okay, have we really discussed this
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: on the podcast? By the way, I don't mean to
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: bring something else up, but like this four hour finale.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: It's been three hours, but this time they're doing to
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: two hour installments.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you think that is?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, they got to put
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: an extra episode in the season by formatting it this way.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: When they added an hour to the finale, but it's
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: in two parts. Yeah, so that's that's very interesting. Well,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not complaining. We'll get more to talk
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: about on this unintentionally highly successful Survivor podcast.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Are you sad about it ending?
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Too?
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Because when they I saw like the finales coming up next,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, it's.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Weird feeling because, like I mean, I'm always a little
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: bummed when it ends, because it's just it's so fun
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: to text about, it's so fun to talk about, to
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: be mean to each other. For you know thirteen episodes
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: or twelve episodes. Sorry, I don't know if you heard,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: but they added an episode season. But I am more
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: sad this season because of this podcast. Now, last season,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: I was a little relieved because I made like that
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: forty five minute documentary about it, and I was I
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: was exhausted from shooting video every week and editing and
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: editing and editing. So I feel like I got to
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: enjoy this way more. And yeah, it's it's been so fun.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sad when it's done for this season.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: But we've got some plans for the off season too.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. This podcast is not stopping when the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: season stops. We're gonna we're gonna do some fun stuff.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: We're turning it into an Elsbeth podcast.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, alright, last thing I want to bring up before
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the episode is over. I ventured onto Sue's Twitter for
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: the first time.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I didn't even know this was a thing.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I'm upset I hadn't done it earlier.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Oh dude, please tell me what is on there. I'm
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: begging you to tell me first, how much longer this
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: episode is.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The first thing that caught my attention was that
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Sue reposted a tweet that said, in quotes, I'm going
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: to kill you Kyle, and it was Sue and then
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: on her tribal council torch it was Kyle's head on
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: it here. Did you see that? If I put yeah, Oh.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: My goodness, dude, what is going on?
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I know, isn't that unhinged? But it wasn't. She didn't
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: post it. What I found out is she has these
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: like Sue stands that just non stop posts like hyping
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: up Sue, and she retweets them all all the time.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: It's just like really into airplane training and things like that.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, I think it's a Sue cult.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Oh no, dude, this is this is way more out
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: of hand than we anticipated.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: But it gets even weirder because Sue tweeted after the
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Kyle episode, just so everyone's aware, I never have and
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: never plan on killing someone dot dot dot Welcome to
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: the game of hashtag survivor. It's all love dot dot
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: dot unless you write my name down.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: What Okay, maybe I'm missing something. Did she say she
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: was gonna kill him? At some point?
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: She She's like, I want to kill Kyle. She said
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: that A bunch of I never took her seriously, but
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: apparently she felt like she needed to respond to that
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: on on Twitter. But you're not helping it by posting
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: his head on a torch that you're carrying with the
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: caption I'm gonna kill Kyle.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, maybe is something happening in her forty
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: five year old brain that we should maybe be concerned about. Yeah,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to look at the rest of that Twitter.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Give me one more Sue tweet.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I'll give you. I'll give you her her go to.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Hashtags, Oh oh yeah, for sure.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Hashtag tu nami with the Sioux capitalist is the first one.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I hate that so much.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Oh but wait for the second one. If you hated
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: the first one. The second Sue go to hashtag is
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: hashtag mother quake what hashtag nami? Hashtag mother? It's like
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: natural disasters. That's why. Why is she? I don't know,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: that's her brand. It's like hashtag Sue Nato needs to
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: be next, dude.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my word, what is going That's a telltale sign
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: that that's not somebody else running that account for her.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: You know, no, it's all her. Because of the retweets, especially,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I can tell do you.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Think I feel like those are probably things that people
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: called her in tweets and she was like, I'm gonna
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: take that that's nice.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Or or she's just she's like, you know what, I
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: want to brand myself out out of like out of
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: devastating events. Yeah, tsunami and uh and earthquake, but instead
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: of earth, I'm gonna switch it to mother quake.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Mother earthquake. Yeah. The mother thing is is all the
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: all the rage with the kids right now on social
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: media calling calling strong women mother you know, so maybe
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: that's uh, maybe that's where that's coming from. That's my little,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: uh observation there. But I'm gonna have to end up
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: on Twitter tonight. I don't even know that I have
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: the Twitter app installed right now.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: There's a retweet from a few days ago where somebody
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: named Sue Bass said, can y'all stop sending Sue hate
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: messages for playing the game against the most boring castaway
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: in Survivor history?
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: And so are you kidding me? The most boring if.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, look, apparently we're not ending this episode yet because
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: we're just going full dive. There are comments that I
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: want to take a look at real quick on on TikTok.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, I was just thinking I'm just going to
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: read a couple Sue things. But now we're deep in
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the Sue universe, so the Sue cinematic universe.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Chase, being the person that he is, decides to nag
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: people on a little bit. So he says, Sue Nation,
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: rise up, all right. People were not happy with him,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: saying that they were just like Island of One, No,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: you're standing alone. She stinks Sue is awful. They were
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: mad at Chase, not realizing he's being sarcastic.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: And there is someone that.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Said that Chase sounds like Lightning McQueen, which they met, Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: they met, Yeah, but they forgot. Basically, there were a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: few comments that we're all saying, like, Sue is right,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Kyle is so try hard, Kyle talks about his family
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: too much. He's the worst, And I'm like, what, it's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: crazy to me that that bandwagon has been jumped on
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's a small Sue cult. The
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: vast majority of people commenting agreed with us, and we're
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: saying hilarious stuff too, like the one person who said
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: that Sue would take the take the cards off the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Angel Trees. That was so funny. That might be the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: funniest comment we've ever gotten.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of people talking about how she's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: actually fifty nine. Oh, this is it. Johnny Fairplay's grandmother
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: being dead was more believable than Sue being forty five.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Oh man, so they're bringing it Johnny Fairplay level lies.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's true. Yeah, yeah, all right, I guess.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I guess that does it for this week of making
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: the merge. What an episode and what a detour into
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: the souiverse. That's what I'm gonna call it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the souniverse is one I don't want to spend
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: much time then, but because it's infuriating, we just spent
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: an extra fifteen minutes in the souniverse.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, maybe we officially ended with one more
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Sue tweet.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Let's do that.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Let's and then maybe we could never visit the Sue
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: universe again.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, maybe she'll get vited off it, will visit
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: one last time.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Sue posts a picture of them all around
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the fire, and she says, is my face clean enough
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: for you in this picture? Tune in tomorrow eight pm
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: to see how long the dirt stays off my face
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: at Survivor at CBSTV hashtag Survivor forty seven, hashtag tsunami,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: hashtag mother quake.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: At least she's taking that with stride right, Like, I mean,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: her face was so dirty, You're like, please let her
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: understand that that was weird. So okay, Sue it was.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: It was reposted by Sue Smee Nation and they said,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: can't wait for your win hashtag mother quake, hashtag tsunami.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, they'll be insufferable if she wins. Yeah, you know,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: it'll be us against the suniverse.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: There's no way. And I feel like, you know, the
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: tsunami might crash on us online. This might be like
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: the Nicki Minaj fans who apparently will just mobilize and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: go to war with anybody. It might happen. It might.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna wake up and have dirt on
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: my face and it'll be smeared by like someone in
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: my sleep, and I'll be like, who did this to me?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: The universe came after me? Well, pdie, We really we
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: really cooked with this one.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: We might have overcooked, but this might be our longest
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: podcast ever. I think it might end up being that way. Wow,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: it depends on everything that gets edited out. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Like this podcast is so much fun. This season of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Survivor has been so much fun, and I can't wait
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: to keep it going through the off season.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I can't wait either. And you know, people drop us
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: a rating. By the way, up have done it already,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: like we've got a perfect five stars, which is just crazy.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: But you know, drop us a review. We'll probably read
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: it on here. We read our emails making the Merged
• 1:03:56
