СПОКОЙНАЯ МУЗЫКА СПОКОЙНАЯ МУЗЫКА -What's up, everybody? We are back with the Pod has spoken record-breaking numbers last week for the pod over here on the premiere episode of season 50. I think more viewers tuned into the podcast than to the TV show, which is crazy. Like such a weird thing that people are just like, "Let's just watch the podcast." We have a very special guest, one of our favorites from last season. She just got bestowed the name "Soft", but we over here affectionately call her "Soft" "Fy". -Because you have an eye on the back of your name, Sophie. That's why we do that. Yeah, I thought it was pretty clear, but if not, I explained it for the audience. Sophie, we don't generally get someone from the last season on this podcast. There's rules, can contracts, and all of that stuff. So we're very excited that CBS gave us the thumbs up because we loved you last season. And we wanted to talk to you, because you have two very good friends on this season. -Yeah. -Thanks, you're welcome. -Yeah, thank you, CBS, for letting us promote your show. -For free. -Yeah. -For letting us promote your show for free. Sophie, are you jealous that Christian got the shit your pants at it? -Yeah. -No, I'm happy that I did not get the shit your pants at it. Honestly, that was pretty funny. I remember hearing about that story from Sab when she first got back. And it was more like, "Oh, God, I'm scared for him." But he made it more like a very self-aware moment where it was like, "We laughing with him instead of laughing at him, so I love that." -Did we need that? -I just wanted to say, if Christian finds an advantage or an idol or something this season, I don't want to see him hiding it in his underwear, okay? It's acceptable for other players. It's no longer acceptable for Christian. -Oh, that's my, I've had a question about this. How much underwear are you allowed to bring on survivor? -Just, just, I mean, maybe modern is different. -Is that still true in the new era? -So if you soil your pants like that, I think they'll give you another pair. -Yeah, they have extra underwear for you in the background that are a smaller size for when you lose weight and when it gets too stretched out from not being washed or anything. -I remember halfway through the season, they gave me a smaller bra and a smaller pair of underwear. -Yeah, matching. Of exactly matching and they rough it up a little bit. So it matches like the dirtiness of your current situation. -Wow, really, so they try to hide it. And they did that with the swimsuits, too, on winners at war, even though yeah, we got our swimsuits. And I didn't end up using the second pair that I gave them. But they roughed it all up so I was pissed because I like spent money on some cool swimsuits that are like super rad and then they came back all garbagey. But yeah, that's, you know, no other podcast is giving you that coverage. But I don't think they gave Christian new underwear. I think he went and rinsed him out and it was probably fine. -You can wash poop out of underwear, I think. I've never had to. -Yeah, I mean, it looks like he's already his pants, too. I don't think they'll give him a pair of pants. So, I don't know. I just know I wouldn't want to be around him because he probably smelled really bad. -You think like poop? -Yeah, like poop like shit. So everybody smells already. Like, imagine adding that shit's thing, but horrible. -Yeah, but a lot of people that are too afraid or are not coordinated enough to poop in the ocean end up pooping kind of close to camp anyway. So you're already getting like that open sewer smell like a week or two into the season where you're like, why don't you just go in the ocean? And they're like, I can't, it feels weird. I was like, yeah, all of it feels weird. That's the point of this entire show. Maybe they gave us, I literally, when I watched that, I was like, why are we getting this? The tone of it was so much different than what 50 has been. And maybe it's because he has a giant shit stain on the back of his pants, the whole rest of the season. It was the only way it would make sense. -Probably. I mean, I also thought the same thing about when coach was cramping in the ocean. Like, why are we seeing this? -Oh, I love that. That's that, to me, a signature coach, where he's like, I'm gonna go out and do something cool that he's like, and makes like everyone like cater to him. The fact that he got hauled in by the safety boat is hilarious. -Well, that's why I thought it was surprising that they showed it, because they showed the safety boat like kind of helping him. So I was like, I didn't know, you know. I thought that'd be something they cut out, but. -Bosteron got pulled out by the rip tide on heroes versus villains on the safety boat. Had to bring him in. And he was so embarrassed that the safety boat had to come and get him. It was just like, yeah. So I think that also, like, I think. I think that that's like part of it. It's like humanizing. Like, you see a coach out there? He's not in the best shape. And he more, he's 53. And he's just trying to keep up with these young bucks. So I actually. -I think that's why I showed it. -Yeah. I really thought that was. And I know coach personally, I've known him for 20 years. And that is like stereotypical coach, where he's like, we're gonna have a great time, Jonathan. You and I, we're bros, we're going out. We're having the time of our life. Everybody, every single person has to help me right now. And Chrissy massaging his legs. I was just gonna say, I love how washed all the old sklers are on the season. Like, it's very endearing. You know, we got Ozzy with a bad back. We got Colby Kim here out of his ear. Yeah. It's great. The ungs. This is the season of bungs. For sure. What's coach's whole thing, just the cramps or looks like he's losing the little hair. I mean. And also Dee keeps calling old every chance she gets, every confessional. But she's like, yeah, we got coach over there. He's old and like, I don't know, like, do you know what the hell? Yeah. But it's true. It's like, I think they're just trying to show that that these people are the same as they were the first time they played. Which makes it fun to watch, you know? But. Listen, I don't want to shit on Colby too much. I'm loving him. I'm loving him on this season. But he's still got it. Terry and that snake, come on, man, he was dragging the card. He was. He's still got it. He's had moments where he hasn't had it. But dragging the snake, he definitely had the muscle to bring that snake back. Why did they put Rizzo with, I know. With Colby? No, they put Rizzo. It was Genevieve. They put Rizzo with Genevieve to carry the snake. They were like, let's find the two least strong people we can and see if they can carry us. They did okay. They got through it. They did. They lost a lot of time. But that's the beauty of building that we're all kind of all over the place, but I like it. Let's go to Vatu, where Aubrey is just guarding her bag and everybody decides. Genevieve decides there's something in it because she also got a Billie Eilish boomerang in it all. Was that the right play? Was that how you go through somebody's bag? I did that on our season and I was very messy about it, but then nobody found out. So I think people think too much about it. Though I do think someone like Aubrey would notice if someone looked at her bag. But what do you guys think about that? Because she obviously, at this point in the episode, she doesn't have something in her bag, but she doesn't have getting something. Do you think that was like a weird editing thing where Genevieve got the idea she might have something once she actually did, or did she just switch it around to make it look like she was carrying her bag before she had the idol, even though that footage was from after. Yeah, because I'm like, how? Yeah. Why would you carry your bag around like that? Yeah. I kind of thought that too. And then I also thought, if someone's carrying their bag around like that weird, I'm just telling everybody they have an idol. I'm just going to be like, I saw them put an idol in there. I'm not even going through the bag. I'm just going to lie to everybody and be like, they have it. So I don't need to go through the bag. Don't carry your bag around weirdly like that, or else I'm just going to tell people that you have an idol. I've got to be honest guys, I would carry my bag around like that probably knowing myself just for comfortable. You would? Yeah. I'd be like, I found like a little rock and I put it in my bag and like, you know, stuff like that. It would be very weird and everybody would think I'd have something. So that'd be me. I also think it's kind of like crazy to hide an idol in a bag these days like people need to stop doing that, like, yeah, I hit it out of bounds. I found the out of bounds sign and then I went a few paces past that and put it under the ground until I got yelled at and they were like, you have to put the idol in bounds of play. And I was like, come on. Nobody's going to go out of bounds. It's easier to hide. And they were like, you can't do that. Я надеюсь, что это было несколько дней. Yeah, that's what I thought, right? Right by the out-of-bound sign, you just put it a little ways past it. So you know where it is because the sign is marking the territory. And everybody else is too scared to cross that threshold. But you're not, but you're not. I'm not. Yeah. Once the game started, they can't just kick you out. Unless you get a fake snake bite is maybe the only time I've ever seen that happen. Yeah, or like Achilles, you know, they Achilles was real, I think. No, it was. It was real. But yeah, there's no follow-up on the snake bite. Nothing ever came with that. So I don't know. That was just, I think they were trying to screw our tribe even more. Yeah. I, yeah, I, no, but once you start the game, like so many people are so scared of breaking all the rules and the worst thing that can happen. Because they can't just be like, we're kicking you out for breaking a rule. They just are like, okay, well, we got to keep everybody here. So management is best you can. Up until the point of the game, you do need to be careful. You don't want to get in trouble. But once you're in it, like they're, the most they can do is yell at you a lot. And that's happened to me by every single tier of production has yelled at me at some point. Um, how good is this for Aubrey? Because my thoughts are the entire tribe was down for searching her bag. And so much they did like a, a sting heist where Q was going to be on the lookout. Somebody was going to distract her with conversation. Was that staff that was doing that or three. Stephanie, Stephanie, sorry, I'm on the wrong tribe here. Yeah, Stephanie. And so, like, who does Aubrey have? I don't think anybody. She's, she's going to try about lunatics. It took her whole tribe to figure out that that coconut, you know, that tastes off is actually rotten fermented. Yeah, it's disgusting. I know. Have you had a spoiled coconut Tyson probably? Yes, it's disgusting. It's like, it's like champagne. It's weird and it's alcoholy. But it's like you can tell it's rotten. Yeah. Gross. Yeah. Who was someone was saying they liked it? Was that Aubrey? I think that was Genevieve. Oh, Genevieve. She didn't try it. She was sitting there like looking around like, oh my God. I mean, I'm like the loony house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Drinking rotten kosca nuts. But I do think it probably was ferment. It's fermented. So it's a little different than rotten. But I don't think it would kill you. Otherwise, they would have stepped in. Maybe, yeah, maybe this year, they'll just pull it. Maybe that's what Christian did. He had some spoiled coconut and shit is pants. There's a lot of things out there. Yeah. That'll make you shit your pants. I think also Ozzy's feeding them a lion coconut. If you eat a lot of it, we'll make you go to the bathroom. So yeah, you got to build your tolerance. Yeah. So I think that's what's happening. But okay, um, Chrissy, how long is she gonna last with this boss with this bossy lady at it? I don't even think it's an edit. It's real. She's a real bossy lady. They should just mash it all up into one thing. Yeah. I don't think this was a good look for Chrissy because she didn't get any professionals. It was just everybody talking about how annoyed they are with her or like what she's doing wrong on her drive. So I don't know. It's not looking good for her. Yeah. People wanted to work with her, but now that she's being bossy, I think everyone's like no more Chrissy. It's too much. Actually sad. Yeah. Yeah. It's so sad that I don't know. I find it kind of like depressing when people are playing like that and not realizing that they're being bossy or whatever. And they think they're being very helpful. Like she's just massaging coaches legs. And oh guys, she just started fire. You know what I mean? No, she's just being bossy. It's totally ruining her. But you know, anything can happen. There's a lot of a lot of fun people who will take the heat off of her in that in that tribe. Oh, Sophie, imagine you get a call to play survivor in like 15 years, 20 years. And imagine your parents right now. And you're like now the same age as them as you go back. Can you avoid being the bossy person of the younger kids? Like is that like how do you? Yeah, that's good question. I don't know. I mean, I personally was not wanted to be like working around camp all the time. So I wouldn't be like, we should start a fire. We should do, which is what they're getting annoyed about. Because the new era people aren't so much about like, let's get this fire ready because we might swap tomorrow. So she's telling D-tiff, Camilla, these things and like, it's that's what happened with us with Trashy Annie on my season. She was doing that. She was like having an old school mentality of telling people like, do this, do that. And we're like, we don't have like much time in the day. And like what? I rather just sleep on the beach than create like a bed of palm fronds that she's trying to do. So I don't know. I don't think I would be one to just because I now have the new school mentality of like every day's quick. We might swap tomorrow. But she's paying like with the old school mindset. So I think, I don't know, it's not going to work out people are getting annoyed. Yeah, it is tricky. Like we see this moment, not only with Chrissy being bossy, but we see the other end of it with Vatu with Rizzo complaining about manual labor, which is, I think there's a balance. There has to be a balance somewhere. I remember on Heroes vs. Billens before we started, because I'm kind of like the Rizzo mentality where I'm like, I'm going to do as little as possible just because like you never know. And Mark Burnett came up to me before Heroes and Billens was like, Tyson, if you even want a chance at winning this game, you have to work around camp. You have to help around camp, because I think token sheens. I think I wasn't doing as much as they thought, but it was weird because nobody ever got mad at me for not working and stuff, but Mark Burnett, that was the question. You could get away with not doing it. You could get away with it. Like I feel like I got away with it. But again, like in a new era, I was talking to someone from my season about this, like the yellow tribe won everything. They won the hammocks, the fishing supplies. They put up the hammocks. They did this grand bamboo thing where we would be able to sleep on it. And then we swapped. And those guys did not enjoy the hammocks for the rest of the season. Like I got to enjoy them. And I didn't know work. So like, and we see it in the trailer for next week, like they're swapping. So all this work that Cole BQ did in putting into the camp, you just wasted all that energy for no reason. And now what? Rizzo has it because he was lazy. So I don't know. I feel like Rizzo, both of them have a point. But I think you would have more of a point in working around camp if it was a 39 day game, not like something that is just going to change at a dime. So yeah. Well, I also think that you not only does it change on a dime, but you can do all that work and get voted out. And for me, that would feel even worse. I'm like, I'm going to help you build all this stuff. And then you're voting me out next. And I'll be so mad that I built your thing for you. Like I'm just going to like rough it. I don't give a shit. Like that's why I eat all the food because I don't know if you're voting me out tomorrow, I want your food to be gone. Yeah, I am. I let's all just suffer as much as we can because I don't know. I will make everyone suffer just in like in case I get voted out. Then at least I can leave knowing that they're miserable. So yeah, but I think these old school guys, like, you know, you've got, you've got Ozzy as a provider. You have Jonathan who's pretending to be a provider. But is he, is he more this season? He says he's playing dumb. Is he playing a different game than we got from him before? I think so. It looks, it seems the same. He's just doing like all the work and the challenges and catching a fish. I think they call it one fish. Yeah, but it's pretty good size. Yeah, it was. We're just that that tribe hasn't gone to tribal council. I guess we just haven't seen anything. Right. I didn't know where the lines are drawn on that tribe. Other than people don't like Chrissy. Yeah. And Jonathan's number one is coach. That too. Yep. So coach maintains that he would have died out in the ocean if that's crazy. And John, Jonathan saved his life. He said, he said. Yeah, man, that was crazy. Yeah. And then Mike said he was laying there like a bug in a pool. I thought that was funny. Yeah. Mike was just laughing. Mike loved it so much. That's, that's how coach is. Like, I don't know why it's so fun to watch him get hurt a little bit. But watching coach in pain is like cinema. I think that's what you get kids say. So if he's cinema is watching watching coaches pain is cinema. Like token chains. He his back hurt like in a challenge. And he just like clapsed on the ground. I was like, my man. And you're like, wow, that's a lot. That's fun. That is really fun. Just like so dramatic with it. And I love the theatrics of coach when he's in pain. It's like the fact that he's willing to like hobble in and be like, "Yeah, Chris, y'all take a full leg rub down for a few of both legs. Make sure to get the right spot." Like I would be like, "No, no, no, no, I'm good. I'm good. I've just got to drink some water and hang out for a second." And also, I never want that moment for me on TV. People keep asking me if I'm ever going to go back. I was like, "I know at some point I'm not going to have it, and I do not want that to be on survivor. I want it to be in my home where I'm like, "Ah, I can't do shit anymore." Well, I figured it out. And now I can't go on TV ever again. Like, please don't let that happen to me on survivor. That's what people are going to remember, too. Yeah, you think that's Coach's legacy now? What did you guys think about his, I don't know if I'm jumping the gun, but like his match at moment with Aussie. I loved it. Dude, oh, it was so good. It was so good. I love the coach versus Aussie like banter. It's back and forth. And I love that both of them believe that they are correct. Sophie, who side are you on? Honestly, I think I'm on coach's side because I don't think what he did was that wrong. Like taking the key. Like every man for himself, especially on the season like season 50, the only thing that I'm like not on his side about is that I think everybody dropped. Like I think Aussie understands why he did it. I think his tribe understands why he did it. And I think he thinks it's so much of a bigger deal than it is. Like nobody's holding him, holding it against him. Then he took the key. He's like doing it to himself and is making it worse. So that's where I'm not on his side about, but I understand why he took the freaking key. Like, I don't blame him at all. I'd be more on his side if he just owned it and was like, yeah, dude, like it's a game. I'm going to steal the key. That's how the challenge was set up to incentivize that exact type of move. And you know, you're kind of the fool for falling right into it, climbing all the way up the thing and knowing you were going to drop the key. But instead, coaches like, I am playing 100% honorable. How dare you say otherwise. I think over the history of the beef. I think I am very good friends with coach. I kind of think Aussie's a little more on the right side of it. Like he got some words from coach. Like coach promised him that he would take him to the end of South Pacific. And he didn't. And coach maintains that Aussie did something to betray his trust. So it gave him the license to eliminate Aussie. And then this same moment, it's like coach, if coach is owns it, it's fine. But the fact that coach is like, no, I am 100% honorable. And you are the reason that I had to step out of that honorableness because you did this thing. It's like, that's, I don't think that's how honor works. But I don't know what the full definition is. But I just love it. I love that he was like, excuse me, everyone. I have an announcement that might hurt my game. They're like having a heartfelt discussion about Kyle's departure too. And he's like, all right, hold on. We're gonna make this about me. Camilla, stop crying. I have something to say about my honor. Yeah. That's, that's what I'm like, I'm not on his side because he's the way, the way he's reacting is just like not, it doesn't make sense. But the way he's doing it, when he said, I have them on season 50, right? Yeah. 100%. When he said that, oh, I'm like, I'm the same old coach playing as I always have you like watching in the Aussie. Just like, yep, you really sure are. You sure are. It's so good. It was so good. Aussie really scorched him. Like what a roast. What's also up with coach? I wrote this down word for word. It's just this is such a coach is him. But he said, yesterday's adversary is tomorrow's enemy. Today's enemy is tomorrow's adversary. I wrote that down too. What does that mean? Shit. It means your enemy is your enemy. They're that's the same word. It's the same thing twice. Yeah. Unbelievable. Your enemy is your enemy is what he's saying. And did he made that up? Probably was just like, dude, I did it again. I've got to get another tattoo. I got to get another tattoo. It did. And I had to rewind it and be like, did I hear that right? Because maybe I'm missing something. Yeah. I did the same thing. I was like, wait, he said friend to enemy, right? Like that's that's how it should go. I was waiting for the word friend. No, I was waiting. When he was talking it, I was like, where was the word friend in there? Somewhere. Yeah. Never. I thought he was going to say tomorrow's enemy. Today's enemy is tomorrow's friend or something. I thought I thought he was going to like, I'm going to use Ozzy at some point. But instead basically what he said was, Ozzy has always been my enemy and will forever be my enemy. When I thought he was going to be like, I'm going to use my enemy to my advantage. No, no, surgery. Let's talk about somebody else with morals. Joe. This was an interesting episode. I feel like, yeah, we are. I am not on Joe's side. I think that there is boundaries to letting people have their shit. Like the fact that Joe is like just like picking up on things and then confronting those people in that moment. It does put people on the spot. And it does give you information, but it also rubs people the wrong way. For sure. I mean, I do think, though, when he confronted Devons about it, the way that Devons lied was terrible. Like he was the first lie I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. He was like, like he froze. Why didn't he just pull it? Why didn't he just pull Joe into the alliance? Like what? What they wanted? What he confronted Devons about it again. He was like, I'm in the alliance. Why did you just tell me about it? I think Devons was just, I don't know, he froze and he thought he had to lie, but he made it worse than it was, but the way that Joe reacted was I think uncalled for it. Like it was overreaction completely. That was where Joe needed to like pump the brakes and just be like, oh, the reason that Devons didn't tell me about this alliance that I'm in is obvious. It's because Devons is not in the alliance. He doesn't trust me. He doesn't want this to become a real thing. Yeah. And he probably did get the read on that. I've played with someone like this. His name is Bill. He got the read so late. It was after he asked Devons about it like six times. He's like, all right, dude, just slow down. Yeah. Yeah. It's so aggressive. And I think if you're Devons, you're like, Joe has to go. Like, how can you not like put Joe out next? Coach was like this on token chains, where he's like, I'm honorable. I'm playing honorably. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to deceive. I'm not going to tell people the thing that's not going to happen. And so it was like hard to navigate because you had to deceive coach in a way that you could justify it to coach after it happened. So you'd be like, they were actually plotting against you, which is how JT and Steven got me is afterwards. They convinced coach that I was going to turn on him. They're like, well, he was going to turn on everybody. He told it. He said he and coach's like, okay, then that's fine. As long as it's to protect me who's the honorable one, then that's okay. Right. And I think Joe is the same. Like, if you have someone like that in your alliance, like we saw so much back and forth with Devons and with Christian about like, how to navigate this person to the point where Devons like the jotations. Yes. How do you manage someone like this, Sophie? You basically have to call to him. And I was dying of laughter. There was a little scene. I don't know if you guys caught it, but who Christian was like behind the net of the hammock and Joe. I was rocking him, like a little baby. Yeah. It was the best. It was the, but that's going to be a meme in the gif today for sure because that was hilarious. But I think they're, they're handling him to the best of their ability. And I mean, I'm jumping it too. But like I personally think they should have gotten rid of him over Savannah because at least Savannah, it doesn't take as much convincing her. Like you tell her, hey, this is the plan. She'd probably go with it. I think he's going to be a lot of work to have as an ally in a season like survivor 50 movie forward. So I was surprised to see why they voted him a hurrah over him. I think it's just like at least they've seen Joe's game and they know it's like, okay, navigating around him is annoying, but at least like I know how he plays and can do that versus Savannah. Even after six days out there, you're like, I still don't know what exactly her MO is not unknown is dangerous. Yeah. And then he managed. There was just a lot of uncertainty with her. That too. Yeah. Too bad. I didn't get to see that in play. I know. If you're on this tribe looking at Joe and being annoyed with Joe, I think you're looking at him. You're like, who's he connecting with once we hit a swap or emerge? And you're like, there's so many people on this season who want to play like Joe. We got coach. We've got Jonathan. We have Colby. Stephanie probably. I'm looking at this. I'm like, I have to keep him from connecting with those people. And right now this tribe is the perfect tribe to get rid of him in this moment because he's not the top dog on this tribe because everyone is annoyed with how honest he wants to play this game. Yeah. And honestly, too, it's sad. I think I think keeping winners around is good as a shield for someone like Aussie, for someone like Suri. I think it would have been a good move for someone like Aussie to get rid of someone like Joe. But I'm wondering if they're thinking of keeping the tribes strong and not realizing they're going to swap the next day. Maybe if they knew, would it have been different? I don't know. Is Joe that much more of a asset in the challenges than SAF? I don't think so, but I don't think so either. Who knows what they're thinking? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think so either. I think, well, they haven't seen, they haven't seen like Savannah win, you know, four immunities. That's true. So they don't really know actually. Do you think that picture to help her? Like, hey, guys, heads up just so you know, I won four immunities. But they did just see Joe win a bunch of immunities. So it could have been part of it because the 48 won one show. Yeah. I don't know. I think in this moment where I'm seeing this tension between Joe and a lot of the others, I'm pushing for Joe to exit. I think I have to. Like, it really is no fun when someone's like, hey, what'd you say to that guy? And it's like, get out of my fucking face, dude. Yeah. Because you see, you see a lot of people whispering here and there. It's like the standard. You're not going to just go up and be like, what'd you say? Like, even though if you know it's about you, like, it's just, you just know. Yeah. Yeah, you do just know. And Joe just knows that it's about him. And you also like have to be fairly certain that if they don't want you to know what they said, they're going to lie to you. Right. At the end of the day, he was included in the Alliance. They weren't plotting against him. Which is such a weird lie for Rick to be like. I just tell him. Yeah. It was a blunder by Rick to not just tell Joe the truth. And Joe being so abrasively honorable is annoying. But is it good TV? Yeah. Great. Great. TV heard that it was much worse than it actually was too. So I wish we saw all of it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think it's a talk and exit press about it. Yeah. We're talking to our tomorrow. I think it was, I think it was the first time we really saw people. I mean, we got Camilla a couple seasons ago, talk about the honorable annoying stuff. And but I think they that it was really well articulated here with Rick and with Christian trying to navigate it and be like, it's annoying and you got to navigate it differently. But that survivor you have to everybody needs something different from you. Christian finds another boomerang idol. At some point is Billy Eilish going to post about this stuff or is that like, yeah, because I think if you want the hype of 50 and you're like, let's include the celebrities. The celebrities are the ones that have to be like, Hey, guys, watch survivor. Yeah, it's still on. Like, can you imagine, like show up? Like, can you imagine, we know more about it? Yeah. Yeah. She doesn't even know that that was our speculation is they spelled Billy Eilish different. It's not even the same Billy Eilish that we're thinking. It's just like some rando. They're just like, okay, there's a 90 year old woman named Billy Eilish. No, there's a man. There's a 90 year old man named Billy Eilish and he said we can use his name for 20 bucks. So maybe once it gets used to show tweet about or something. Yeah. That's the hope. Do you think that they're telling contestants like every time you talk about it, talk, say Billy Eilish in front of it? Well, I thought it was funny when Rick Devons was like, I love her. I'm like, there's no shot. He's hurt. He can name a single song by Billy Eilish. He has kids. So maybe because I only know Billy Eilish songs because I have a 10-year-old and a seven-year-old daughter. So yeah. So we listen to some Billy Eilish around our house. I do like when everybody reads it. They read, hi, it's Billy and everyone pauses and looks around just in case if she comes out of the bushes or something. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. They're always like, here she comes. She better. She better show up at some point and be like, what's up and do something cool. Yeah. Yeah. So Christian finds it and he sends it to Aubrey. Is that the right choice? I thought so, but I also, it shows a lot about where he stands with his people from David versus Goliath. Like, I'm surprised he didn't send it to Mike or Angelina. He chose to send it to someone else. Maybe it's because he already has a connection with them. And he wants to make a newer one. But I thought it was interesting because if I was playing again with Sab Rizzo, I think I would send it to one of them. But then, you know, there's also the element of if they get voted out, you get it back. So maybe he thought Aubrey was just in the worst position, which he's not technically wrong. He's she is in the worst position right now on her drive. So let's talk about that because outside of the game, or maybe it's inside the game, there seems to be some tension between Christian and Mike and Angelina. Have you heard about this? Is there an inside scoop? Are we going to see it later? Are we not going to talk about it? Um, I think you should ask Sab about that in her ex depressed. Okay. But I think there's, I mean, what I've seen, what I've seen is online, like maybe Christian's pregame press. He said stuff about Angelina being like part of the drama. You know, categorize as a drama and why she was cast on this season. Somebody part of the drama does not want to hear that they're part of the drama. Exactly. And then people online are being like, with the way she reacted to it, just justifies what Christian said. Yeah. Yeah. She like your comments at a river. She's like, I don't kind of drama like a big old whole thing. Like 15 page to me. Yeah. Okay. Let me tell you about all the reasons that don't cut a drama. Yeah. I'm not the dramatic one. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like there's maybe a little tension there. So it'll be fun to see that play out though. Yeah. Yeah. I'm wondering what was Christian's ultimate reasoning for giving it to Aubrey. In my opinion, I was thinking it's because he thinks she'll keep it quiet. That's what he seemed to say. Yeah. Yeah. That was his end. The reasoning was that somebody who is going to keep it to themselves. Yeah. And I thought that was a better strategy than giving it to someone who you think is going to be voted out. Because I think that's so much harder to figure out. I think I would have used it the same way. Like this is an opportunity to make a connection with someone on another tribe. And you know, I feel like Aubrey's now going to owe it to him for sure. When she finds out he got he gave it to her. So yeah. I think we saw correct me if I'm wrong. Christian telling Rick about it afterwards. Yeah. And that was interesting because that's when Devon comes up with a plan to to maybe put something at tribal council with a fake idol. Right. Right. That's right. That's what I saw. That was cool. I'm excited for that moment to play out. I thought that was Rick. I am sometimes Luke Warman. I'm like he's very performative. It doesn't always seem authentic to me. But he does enjoy playing and mixing things up and creating some chaos, which does make good TV. And I do love this outside the box thinking where he's like, let's use the rapper. That's the candy rapper that we like to refer to you. Yeah. How do you how do you envision this playing out, Sophie? Is somebody going to find it? Is he going to grab it himself at some point and use it to his advantage? Like what is the play? I think that's the point. And that's where I do like about Rick. It's like this is the type of gameplay you want to see in a returning season. And you only really do see in a returning season because it's only episode two. And we're seeing fake idols being planted at tribal council. Like that's so exciting to see. And I feel like the fact that they showed us that means that it's going to play a role at some point in the season, whether it's played wrong or it's played right. Like I'm excited to see it. You know. So yeah, I think that was a cool idea. And that we've never seen it. So we've seen Adam try to take it when there's a war. And it was kind of embarrassing. But like if this works, that's going to be pretty iconic. I feel like. Yeah, I think so. I'm just trying to figure out because it does say Billy Eilish Idol. So what is his play? Like he's on the chopping block. He goes in. He pulls it out. He's like, well, this is an idol. Doesn't it show anybody what the know is and pulls it? And it's like, that's crazy. Like is that? Is that his plan? Yeah. When you're a tribal council and everyone's already like, I don't want it to be me. And he pulls something out. And he's maybe the plan that night. I feel like it could, you know, turn everybody's head to somebody else. So we'll see. It could be like last minute plan. And we've never seen that. If we're going to see it, it's going to be on season 50. So I don't think people would be like, oh, this is fake. So it could work. Yeah. I think it could work too. I think in I'm, if I were in that position that Rick is right now with that thing sitting there or Christian. And I know I'm on the chopping block. I'm walking in and pretending like I see it right as I walk in and be like, oh, what did I just find and pick it up? Put my torch in and be like, holy cow. And then just throw it to Jeff and be like, dude, this is crazy. But maybe at that point, it's too obvious that it's planted. But you also as a player can't take a risk. Because if it is real, that's like the beauty of the fake idol is even though people are skeptical and think it could be fake. In the off chance that it's real, you don't want to be the one getting screwed. Right. It's true. We have the immunity challenge. And how do I say that tribe again? Sila, Sila, the Sila tribe loses again. Are they a disaster tribe? Are we going to see them going to tribal council over and over and over? I guess not because it's a swap next week. Yeah, and they won the reward. We didn't win anything like not even the rewards. So yeah, does that reward matter? No, I don't think so. But yeah, I feel like it's a swap, I guess. Yeah, swap. So there won't be a disaster tribe. I feel like that'll be boring if they let a disaster tribe happen on season 50. So they were going to switch that up. Once they saw tribe losing multiple times, I think they were going to do something to switch it up. I think that even if we didn't for season 50, you have to with pre-game alliances and stuff, you have to do tribe swaps. Because you never know like production can't be certain who's like aligned with who over the phone over the last. Like if you're going to make phone calls like a year in advance to get people on the season, then there's going to be a lot of pre-game. And so to keep that fluid and moving, you have to do a bunch of tribe swaps. That's so true. Like it doesn't fix it, but it does combat it a little bit. So yeah, we did. So we did vote. I just looked at that. We voted on tribe swaps. So I'm sure they'll explain it next episode, but that that vote must have come through as yes. When they're like, we in the hands of fans, we did that. We did that another close one, 51% to 49 and a half percent. I bet it'll be a lot more dramatic than that. I feel like the tribe swaps pretty popular, right? Yeah, I like tribe swaps. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I do like tribe swaps. No, I like tribe swaps. I do. Oh, I really feel like Tyson. No, tribe swaps are good. I think if you're in a power position on your tribe, they suck. And if you are on the bottom of your tribe, they're the greatest thing that could ever happen to you. It's so true. Just like thank God. I mean, it's just kind of like growing up in a small town and burning a bunch of bridges and then moving. Yeah. And you're just like, well, okay. Well, hard to say. And I'm going to try and make friends this time, because the last town was difficult. So true. Yeah. So that's what a tribe swap is, dude. You're like, all right. It pissed a bunch of people off in this town of 1,000 people. But the good news is I'm going to a new town of 1,000 people and I'll hopefully learn from my mistakes. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you'll become mayor. You don't know. So I do think that, yeah, it fully depends on your position in the tribe. I think if we're looking at these tribes, you're like, Aubrey, very excited for a tribe swap. Rizzo and Angelina probably neutral on a tribe swap. They're probably kind of, it's probably a little bit positive for them. Callo tribe. I mean, it's good for Chris, even though she doesn't know it. And on the seala tribe, it's, I mean, who's a good for here? Maybe Joe. Maybe, yeah, maybe Joe. Yeah, Joe. For Ozzy and Sree. It's good for Ozzy. It's good for Joe. No, it's good for Joe is what I meant to say. It's good for Joe. Okay. Because he's on the outs and maybe he can connect with somebody who has as much or even more honor than he does, which is crazy. Like there's so much honor, dude. It's just like a waterfall of honor. And yeah, I think Ozzy and Sree, like if they end up together again, that's great. But if they are separated, that's going to be rough for probably especially Ozzy. But again, Ozzy is a guy that could slink into a Jonathan alliance because they both like, you know, I think coach, though, no, but not if it includes coach, but it coaches on a different tribe. I think Ozzy will be fine with Joe in that moment. So that would be great to see Ozzy and Jonathan get on a tribe and they click and then later there's like a merge and Jonathan is being pulled between Ozzy and coach, like mom and dad are fighting over who gets custody. Who is the swap especially bad for? Looking at these tribes, I'm thinking like if you look at the Vatu tribe, you have those lost votes that they've already kind of remedied by pulling in Rizzo and trying to figure it out. But now those lost votes are, are they coming back because there's a swap or are they still gone? No, I think they stay. Oh, really? They're gone. I though would be like, they have to go to one tribal council until I mean, and then that's what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. The vote, the votes remain gone. Gone. Like not having vote. Yeah. We're angry. Yeah. Okay. So I think it's bad for everybody who doesn't have a vote because now they have to go to the new tribe. So you got Q without a vote. Got what? Colby without a vote? Are those the only two? Yeah. Those are the only two without a vote. Yeah. And then. So Serena has an extra vote. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it's especially bad for Q and Colby to have that swap after they've done a lot of work to cover their lost votes. On the seal of tribe, yeah, Ozzy and Serena, we already talked about. What about on Kalo, who's a bad for on Kalo? Hmm. Hmm. I think it could be a little bit bad for coach if he gets put with Ozzy and has to have a war with Ozzy like this early in the game that could be bad, but in the same vein, it could be bad for Ozzy. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't really know the Kalo tribe dynamics enough to understand who, who is going to be benefiting from this. Yeah. I didn't see anything from like TIFF, Camilla this episode where they stand in the tribe. So I have no idea. Right. Yeah. Um, anything from the immunity challenge that stood out particularly, anybody of are really shine. We get a swan dive from John and everybody, Colby who I feel like he's the best he's looked since like all stars. Yeah. So was the immunity challenge the snake one? Which one was the swimming one? The swimming one? That was the reward. Okay. So the snake one. Yeah. I do believe I was like, oh, Colby, let's see, he did carry it by himself and Stephanie pulled a thing where she's like, wait, Colby, wait, Colby is like, no, it's already good. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, oh, okay. Like you don't have to untie all the knots if you can just yank it loose. So well played there, Colby will give you your, your flowers back to the seal of tribe. It's Aussie as a target, Savannah as a target, and Joe as a target, sinking his own game by being too honest. Too honest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, what are you thinking here? Like who did well and who did not? I think the best player of the episode was Sury. I think Sury was the reason why Savannah went home, why Aussie was protected, and I think also Sav nailed it. Like she was spot on. She clocked what Sury was doing. She was like, she's just trying to protect Aussie. And have you guys watched Stranger Things? Or no? Yeah. The first season only. Whatever. The fans will get this, but like there's, there's Vekna who's the person who's like very bad killing everybody. But then there's the hive mind who's controlling Vekna. I feel like Christian is Vekna where everybody thinks he's in charge. And then like Sury was the hive mind, like she's a person controlling everybody on that drive. Like she's the reason why, you know, even Joe didn't go home for whatever reason. I think she thinks Joe is good for her game. And she decided to just, you know, get Savannah out. And I thought that was really cool to watch. Even though it was sad for me to watch, but it was cool to watch Sury like in her element. Yeah. Um, yeah. I love the series pitch to keep Aussie. Her number one ally is Aussie's social game sucks. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. But you have to do that because she's trying to get people to see why it's their game to get rid of Aussie. I would do that too in our season. I'd be like, why are we going to get rid of Sav? Like nobody wants to work with her or like, Rizzo, like what's he going to do with that idol? Like you have to get people to see why it's good for their game to get rid of their certain people. And it worked. Whatever she did worked. Yeah. I also think we're seeing like back to Aussie here. We're seeing a little bit different Aussie. He seems like he's more open and willing to be vulnerable and share his feelings. He's already cried both episodes. Are we going to get him crying every single up, like tearing up? But it's endearing, I think, for like you see him, you see coach, they're both kind of broken men at this point. The game does break you. Like if you play enough times without winning, it breaks you. Like it definitely does take a toll and it's humbling and it's like, okay, maybe either I'm not as good as I think or what I like to say is I'm too talented to win this game. Like it favors the less talented. And so, but then I won it. So I had to be like, no, you can only win if you have actually who is the most talented, the most talented. Yeah. Season 27's one of the only seasons where the most talented actually won. It's crazy, crazy season. Um, but you do like get these moments with Ozzy and I think he's like being open. He's also admitting he's like, I'm watching serene move and I'm realizing I can't do that. I can't. I got whatever she's got and she's doing. I can't do that. That was such a great confessional, but like I'm average at strategy. Yes. Incredible. What do you guys think about him giving her the advantage? Do you think it was like good for his game? Like that? Did he need to do that? No. I don't know why he did that. I think it's just not a good move to give an advantage to somebody else. So bizarre. Um, if anything, I mean, Syri's not going to see it this way. I don't think because she'll realize how reliable an ally Ozzy is, but there's a world where it's like, let me vote out this person who knows about my extra vote and no one else does. Yeah, I'm wondering if there were conversations earlier where she was like, oh, I've never had an advantage because she's also so ecstatic about having an advantage after playing five times. It's her first advantage. She's ever had. With reason. That's crazy. But yeah, I mean, she's leaned so heavily on her social game that she has a band completely abandoned, any of the other types of approaches to the game of survivor. And I, I think maybe a conversation like that happened and Ozzy knew how much it would possibly mean to her that he was like, let's do it. And I think in Ozzy's mind, he's like, I, she's not going to turn on me. And also if she does like, I've had my heart broken by this game so many times, like what's, like, I just have to try something a little different. I think he's, he's not playing Bizarro Ozzy, like he's not doing the opposite of what he thinks he should do, but he's definitely trying to be different knowing that whatever approach he's used in the past has not worked. So he's been so refreshing on this. I was maybe out of touch with the rest of like the audience and I was completely not excited for Ozzy at all. I just felt like we didn't get that much out of him on his last appearance and I don't know who's kind of fading returns. I'm loving it. Moan season 50. I mean, he's like a more mature, more self-aware Ozzy. And it's great. He's Oscar. He's Oscar now. He's Oscar. Yeah, that's right. He's got a bad back and like he knows he's what he's bad at. It's great. Yeah. Yeah. I also like, there's that moment, the first episode where the, it's right at the intro. And he's got like a single tear falling from his eye and it reminds me of that old TV commercial from like the 80s or 90s of the litter. And there's an Indian watching like the litter in the, on the ground. And he's like, it's kind of like take care of the camera any cries. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, that's like a poetic shot of Ozzy listening to someone else pour their heart and soul out in this moment. And it's so moving that he has a single tear drop from his eye. It's like, you can't stage that what you can't stage it. They did for the commercial. I think it was probably staged, but for this moment with Ozzy, I don't think it was. So now like Ozzy's kind of off the block and it's Joe versus Savannah. I don't see where Savannah lost this. So she not connecting with people on as personal of a level. Did she not have the advantage of knowing some people? Did she have the, the unknowing was that too scary for, for people like I don't, it didn't, I didn't see a blunder from her that would warrant like we have to get rid of her. Yeah. I don't think there's anything she could have done. I genuinely believe that the reason why she went over Joe is because Suri thought she was a bigger threat over Joe. I think Joe, even though annoying to like work with, as they've said, he's probably easier to work with and less threatening to them because ultimately, I think it was her decision. I think it was Suri that had the decision and she chose to vote out Savannah, maybe the uncertainty really just scared them out of that. Yeah. I think you do have to like, you have to look at Rizzo and Savannah and be like, I don't know their gameplay. And if they get me the same way they got people on their last season, I'm going to look and feel especially stupid. And it's just a point of pride in being like, we just have to get the unknowns out because it's, we're going to look like fools. So I mean the Russell effect, I think that has to be it. And we go to tribal, we get Savannah giving a heartfelt speech, just very moving, very touching. Everybody seemed really into it. She opened her heart, teared up and then they voted her out. She even got a pat on the back by Suri who basically caught the entire blind side. Nice try. Nice try Savannah. That's I think kind of what the hand pat was, was good try. And that's not the end. This is where Christian falls down to create a diversion. I kind of like this from Christian because and then he's like seems like he's confused about what to do and where to go. Now everybody is like, oh, he's wounded, he's something, he shit his pants earlier. And now, now he has vertigo and he's confused like, he's totally losing it. Let this guy is totally fine to keep out here. He's not threatening to me at all. Jay yes. I thought that was like, he was the perfect guy to do that because it's someone's going to fall and be clumsy and try what's going to be Christian and no one's going to think twice about it. They're going to be like, are you okay? Yeah, so that was yeah, that was funny. If I'm falling, everybody be like, no, Tyson's never done anything on coordinated in his life. That doesn't make sense. Something's out. Yeah. Exactly. They would be on to it so fast. Anything I'm missing from this episode, anything you guys want to touch on, anything that stands out specifically to you, you know, I noticed online that people have been looking in the background of these episodes so far. And there's one person that no one has really been noticing, but Angelina has been trying on everyone's jackets. And I don't think anyone's ever like people have not noticed this. And if jackets go missing, we know that Angelina is really, she's doing things behind the scenes. Yeah. Do you think that's a purpose? It's on purpose. A little Easter egg whenever there's a scene she's purposely trying on jackets in the background. Absolutely. Absolutely. I saw it from some of the, you know, reporters that were on the island for this season that she tried to do a negotiation at the first challenge from last episode. They got to see. And it made me think about something Tyson that we've talked about before, which is, you know, when you go on your second season, you know what your character is and you kind of like play into it some or avoid something coach tried to on heroes versus villains, but then couldn't, well, then like you did on this season too. At the first episode, he was like, it's coach 4.0. And now he's like, I'm the exact same coach I've always been. Yeah. And it totally is. Okay. Yeah. I do believe that Angelina knows the jacket thing is what she's famous for and the negotiations. And so she's like really like trying to bring that back. The jacket thing I think is super fun and I'm sad we didn't get to see a negotiation. Maybe it didn't go as entertaining as her last negotiations. But honestly, the throwback that is so beautiful right now is the Aussie versus coach beef that's just like never ending. They literally need CBS needs to do a spin off where they just perfect strangers, but they just put them in a house together. They're like, you're in a studio apartment together until you guys can agree. I wish we saw them on exile instead of Q and and Aussie, we all figured out that we might still get it. We might get it. Yeah. If Q would have gone the key, like we would have had cinema, like, yeah, that would have really put the premiere over the top. Right. What do we have for your reads this week? All right. All right. We've got some good time here. So let's talk about who did the most to advance their game on this episode. Sophie, what do you have? I'm going to say Rizzo because he already is now, I don't know if it's like more Kyle leaving that put him in a good position, but like he did a good job of like earning Colby and Q's trust. I feel like Rizzo is in a better position in the last week for sure. I think Rick Devon's in Christian, I feel like we're in amazing positions right now. And then on Palo, I still don't know who's like the top dog on that drive. I just know Chrissy's not. No idea. Yeah. I mean, everybody's annoyed by Chrissy. I like the Rizzo pick. I think he, that's not my pick. I have other picks, but I like that. We got to see how he was like, I was annoying to them. So I had to adjust. And he understood, like that's real self awareness there, which is. But then like five minutes later, Q is like, I hate this lazy bum. Well, can he adjust even further or his manual labor, his stopping point? And will it matter? Because now there's the tribe swap. It's not going to matter. But. And also, Rizzo knows he doesn't have a boat. So like he can use that against it now. He has some ammo there. That's true. I forgot about that. Q told him. Yeah. He has some leverage there. Yeah. That Rizzo adjusted his personality around camp to cater to the older generation. Ashley, who did the most this game to further their chances? I would say, so I was thinking Rizzo as well, because I noticed that how he was just kind of like super calm this episode and comparison to last episode, where he was really happy and excited. And people were like, hey, what's wrong with this young whip of snappa, you know? And then now he's sitting down and he's getting along with them. Even when Q was like complaining about him being lazy, he didn't seem, it seemed like more of like a older brother being upset that, you know, the siblings aren't cleaning up unless of like, I want to get this guy out because he's not doing what he's supposed to do. So I think Rizzo's in a really good spot, but honestly, Surrey is just killing it right now. She is in control. The way she was like gabbling with Emily on the hammock and just like having a good time and having fun. And I was like, when did you guys become buds? It's because Surrey is really good at this social game. It's really spooky. Spooks me, guys. Spooks me. Yeah. She is very good at it. Riley, who you got? I also have Surrey. I just think, you know, if we had said preseason that her tribe is going to go to the first to tribal councils and look pretty poor in the challenges, you just think, okay, like they've got to do some tribe strength stuff, especially with people like Joe on that tribe. And now we're at the second tribal and her name's not even coming up like no one even floats it. All she did was time. She just needs time. Yeah. Yeah, I'm convinced that you can't even when on paper, it's like she's the most obvious boot effort. Like, bad at the physical game, extremely adept at the strategic and social games. It's a massive threat that you don't want to like get to the merge. You just spend three or four days on an island with her and you can't help but be like, I'm never thrown her name out. It's too dangerous because everyone likes her. So it's hard to like, okay, who can I say her name to? That's not going to circle back and tell on me. Yeah. Everyone's just like, no, I actually, I'd rather just work with Surrey. You're like, right. Yes, we're doing that. I think, I think Christian, he was already in a good position. I think he's maintained that position. He got the boomerang idol, which he passed to Aubrey, which only Rick Devon's knows about. He did a much better job managing Joe than Rick did. And so he didn't get any of that blowback. And he, yeah, I think he's in a good position. I also think on a tribe swap, he's going to be unassuming enough that he should be able to work his way into a group. So I will say Christian, what else you got, Riley? Well, this one might be a runaway winner, but who damaged their game the most? Joe. Even though he probably won't get voted out next, I don't think he probably, like with the reputation of the people working with him, I think they've lost a little respects for him. So if he's not voted out next, I think, I don't know, I think he has damaged his game. Which is a crazy thing to say. He lost respect for being too honorable. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. Well, I feel like, you know, you can't, I do think you can play survivor with like a certain code that he has, but then you can't just be like drilling people and being like, well, why didn't you tell me this? Why? Why? Why? That's going to annoy people, dude. Yeah. All right. Let's do some predictions. Who are our winner picks after episode two? Tyson, you want to start us off? Oh. Okay. I can start us off. You never start. I know. That's because I like to listen to other people and it gives me time because I actually, when I watch the episode, I take notes. I don't even think of the winner pick until we're on the spot after all of our conversations. I am going to go with. I'm going to go with Christian. Let's keep. Well, yeah. I mean, I've said so many people. I said, Charlie, at one point, I said, Christian, last week, I said, Camilla last week, you said, yeah, last week Camilla, yeah. I think Camilla is in a great spot, but I think Christian's in a better spot. He has Aubrey. He can go to if he needs to on a swap now. And yeah, I'm going to say Christian right now, he's in a great position. We'll see once he gets there if Cere was really leading the whole thing and he was just upon. But we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. I'll have a better idea next week, but I think Christian right now, what about you, Sophie? I was going to say Christian too, but just to be different, I'll say Rick because I think they're just like hand in hand doing the same thing. They're in a really good position. And I think he might end up doing too much because I feel like he gets really excited and he likes to be the target. So I don't know, but I'm going to say I'm going to say Rick, but if not, I would say Christian. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to stick with Tiffany. I've kept Tiffany in my winter pick for since the beginning now. So she's I believe in her. She could do it. And nobody's looking at her, which is always the best. Nobody, not even the cameras. Not even the cameras. Is she there? I don't know. So I don't, did she do anything this episode? I don't remember her doing anything. We'll see her at Final Tribal. Yep. She'll be there. That's all that matters, right? Yeah. It's true. I just like I did not write down Tiffany in my notes what even one time. Yeah. That is brutal. Sorry. Tiffany. Um, I'm going to stick with Genevieve who I had last week, which is really just kind of a gut feeling. Even though the game has broken like horribly for her, you know, Aubrey now has an idol of her allies. I have no votes. Kyle went home. Um, but a swap exchange, all that. I just, I just have a good hunch about how she's playing and how she's kind of evolved her game a little bit, focusing more on those relationships and whatnot that I think it could pay off for her. Yeah. It could be good for her here where she separates from the allies that can't help her because they don't have votes. And then they get their votes back and come back together and now she's got a bigger army. Yeah. So she really could benefit from this. Okay. What else we got, Riley? All right. Last one. Who's going home next week? Ooh. We don't know how the tribes are going to break. It's been hard to pick. Yeah. We don't know the tribes. We know it feel like we saw kind of like, you know, Joe Colby and Genevieve are all on blue, collo, um, but we don't know the full breakdown. Yeah. So you just kind of kind of take a stab in the dark. I'm going to go with someone who's not on Seela because we've already seen all these people go to tribal. So I want to, I'm going to say Chrissy, it's because of that little tidbit they gave us today about everyone being annoyed of her. Maybe she doesn't say a thing on her, her swap tribe. So I'm going with you too. So if you, I'm going to go with Chrissy, I think that's the most obvious. If she's bossy here, then like how and nobody's telling her she's bossy, she's going to go to the next tribe and be just as bossy. Yeah. Yeah. You know, Chrissy's a good, a good choice. I, I think it's either going to be Chrissy or maybe like Ozzy or something because I feel like it matters where he lands in the tribes. If he's not with Sarri, I'm really worried about how coach is going to like rally the troops against Ozzy. And I feel like coach just has just a, a better pool than him right now. We're magnetism. Yeah. Yeah. He has a new magnetism that you love. You know, it might be trouble if he's not with Sarri. So is it Ozzy or Chrissy, that's your pick just to get it, I'll say, I'll say Ozzy. I'll say Ozzy. All right. Just to mix it up because I also have Chrissy. So I said Chrissy last week kind of the same reason I feel like they're building up this storyline of her getting on people's nerves and that just doesn't go well. Right. Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right. You have something else. You said okay. Like there's more. Yeah. We are good. And again, thank you all for tuning in and for listening. Sophie. Thank you so much for your time and all of your input. We loved having you tune in tomorrow for exit press with Savannah, which we will be doing each and every week until we get sick of it until then. See ya.

    FAQs

    Тайпы были пересобраны, чтобы поддерживать динамику и избежать формирования «распадающих» групп. Это особенно важно для игроков без голосов, которые получают шанс перейти на новый тайп и изменить свою стратегию.

    Те, кто был на низком уровне в своём тайпе, получили выгоду, например, Q и Колби. У них исчезли голоса, и тайп-перемена дала шанс начать новую линию игры. У Лука и Сэри также появилась возможность для нового союза.

    Ризо успешно построил доверие к Колби и Кв, проявив себя как надёжного партнёра. Его стратегия была гибкой и адаптивной, что помогло ему занять прочное положение в тайпе.

    Саванна была выброшена, потому что Сури считала её большей угрозой, чем Джо. Сури настроилась на защиту Аусси и решила, что Саванна угрожает её планам, и решила избавиться от неё.

    Джо слишком честен и прямолинеен, что вызывает раздражение у других игроков. Его честность делает его трудным для работы в союзе, и многие игроки не хотят сотрудничать с ним, что делает его слабым союзом.

    Сури продемонстрировала сильное социальное влияние и умение манипулировать другими игроками. Она смогла убедить других, что Саванна — большая угроза, и это помогло ей получить голоса на выступлении.
