Hey, all you HQdies and survivalists, I'm Mary Kwakowski, and I'm back with another episode of Fox's new reality show, Extracted. We are here. So it's six retracted and joining me, as always, is Chappelle, Chappelle, how's it going?

HQD stand up. We are here. We are. I'm very good, Mary. I'm very excited. But at the same time, diva down, what's happening? What's happening? What happened? What are we doing? Y'all? We, diva down. Are we really going to talk about this today? I'm so sad. We have so many elves. What's going on? You know, I think we both stand a blonde queen on the show, who we initially thought had no business being out there, but shout out to Summer for crushing it, did not expect the complete roller coaster ride of going from laughing at Sage and Summer's relationship to like, you know what, I almost shed a tear in this episode, not going to lie. So Yeah. Yeah. We come so far. The spirit of divina was in that woman, you know, I just felt like there was a lot. We had a lot of just potential there.

We had, like you said, such a roller coaster with Summer, but also with Sage from the start thinking, oh, yeah, this kid is just here to watch the world burn and his sister's in it too for revenge, only to see this full circle story where Summer surprises everybody and the relationship between the two of them probably surprises, even them. So yeah, this was so much fun to like, of a journey, but also so sad that it had to end like this because I don't know, I'm like them. I kind of thought Summer was in it for the long haul. I thought so too. I really did. I felt like, especially after the last couple episodes, even this episode really had a ton of positive summer content in it. We'll talk about it. We'll get into it. Have to address a couple things up top number one as always. If you are looking for other places to find us, we know that some of you watch on YouTube, some of you check out the podcast, but depending on which one you're doing, you can always check us out at Rob has a podcast on YouTube and we know reality TV dot com.

Okay. Also to that one person who said, can you retire HQT's? No, I cannot. You're going to have to continue to cringe. HQT's ride season one, we voted. We decided on HQT's and it's here to stay if you don't think of yourself as an HQT, that's fine. You can be a survivalist. Yeah, it's okay. There's HQT's and survivalist out here, you know, everybody gets a role, you know, so and hopefully, you know, hopefully there's an HQT deep down inside. Yeah. Yeah, I hope so. So the fallout from the previous episode, we didn't get as much like beefing still happening between Katie's and Paulie's teams. I kind of wish we had more. And personally, if I was if I was Emily and Carly, I would have probably Carly, is that right? Oh, my gosh. Why do I feel like that's not her name? I thought it was. Now Emily and Carly. It is. And I was like, that's not right.

You know, it is. There's a lot of name for the show. If I was them, I based on the way this episode ends up running out, I would be like pointing and saying, wow, look how the tables have turned and they didn't. So maybe next episode, maybe we'll get more fallout, but maybe I so I really thought we had the potential for there to be a moment of, okay, now the shoe is on the other foot. Now team Paulie has to take something from somebody else and they kind of do the safe thing, right? And we'll get into it, but they take something from somebody who just got something. So if they try to, you know, think, okay, this is the fairest way to do it. And so I think it does absolve them a little bit, but still, you know, seeing Bailey be like, you know, this is just a game. Yes, it is. And I think we should all understand that, you know, even if it's a cut throw game for more people, remember, it's a game and I'm not talking to it's cute survivalist as much

because, but the people in the comments too, this is a game, it's a game, you know, you might not like the move, but it's a part of the game. And we love to see the, the people make cut throw moves, but a lot of times, Mary, they're not really in a position to make a choice. You know, I think if they had their brothers, if I'm Bailey and Molly, I'm thinking, all right, first chance we get, we're going back at Katie's team, right? It's just turn around. It's fair. Like it's right there. Let's do it. But then they only get the options of RJ and Amy and Summer. And it's just kind of in this position where it has to be somebody. You have to do that. So I don't want to get mad at anybody for doing the task. I do think that they found a, the probably the best way for them to handle it. But I would love to have seen it be a little bit more dramatic. Do you think it makes a difference with the fact that Carly and Emily physically found a card and they made the decision, whereas in this episode, Polly was the one who won and then

like Bailey, Bailey and Molly had to, had to make a decision based on Polly's win. It wasn't like they were going out for it because I think if, if they knew if it was the power card thing, but you know, I don't know because, but because Bailey and Molly were looking for the power card too, it's not like they were sitting down going, we're not going to look for it. And even the end, that doesn't bring you cool points with me. Opting out of the game does not make you better than the game. So I'm happy that everybody is participating. I cannot hold you accountable, more accountable for looking for a power card than the person who has to make a decision because their, their survival is does something simply because if you don't look for a power card, you will be the victim of the power card. You could be the person this falls on and you should all be trying to keep your survival is safe. You don't know what's going to be the thing to break your survival is, you know, in this episode, the decision they make, they say, well, some are just got a bear skin. So taking her blanket shouldn't be that big of an issue.

At least she still has some coverage only to find out that no, actually, that's all it took. That was the one thing that they took that took away from summer had summer found this had summer won this challenge or not going out there and got the bear skin. First of all, summer had not got that going out there and got the bear skin. There's a good chance they don't even take the blanket from summer, right? They might say she doesn't have anything else. If summer wins this challenge, then summer gets to make the decision. But my point is that it all fell on the like the forefront of this challenge. You can't really play a game where you're afraid to make moves because if your person is is the one who is at the brunt of some of those moves, then they could be gone. And so you really have to play offensively to play defensively. Yes, but also it sounded crazy. No, no, it did, but it kind of goes both ways because also playing offensively, like with summer going out to get the bear skin for herself ends up.

It is what she said, the one step forward, two steps back. You have to, I don't know. I still think that the the best thing to do is always just try to put yourself in the best scenario possible so that, you know, I would rather have something and then get it taken away than be in a situation where I'm getting something taken away. And I didn't, you know, have some rules in first place. So anyway, I don't have a real issue with summer going out there and getting it because the same thing could have happened. Summer could have still came in last place. And then Polly's team could have still said, okay, well, summer's fine. We saw her come out there. She's strong. She got it. We'll take something for her. We don't want to take anything from Amy. You know, and it could have still been summer. So at least she had the bear skin where she could have not had that. So yeah, I think I think this is a very offensive game. Socially, I think you have to be defensive. But when it comes to getting things for your survival is everything is from on a minute to minute basis. One minute you can be fine. The next minute you can be extracted exactly. So for the survivor survival trial this time, we each team is going to pick

something almost every team picks a sleeping bag. And then Katie and Doug's team both pick the apple and tuna. And then Luke, this just shows how far ahead Luke is. Fishing, fishing line, fishing line, like, I mean, I get it. Roman is out there catching fish. And maybe they think like if he can catch, if Luke can catch fish, then that'll be more beneficial than sending him a can of tuna and an apple. Probably true. But still, I thought kind of a wild decision that he's just like, unless you think this was like the defensive move of like, we don't want to give him even more stuff to make him look like he's, like he's got two sleeping bags or something like that. I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Don't give him two sleeping bags, right? But at the same time, Mary, if you have two sleeping bags, maybe you have a little bit of a cover for when they take something from, yeah, exactly. We have to take something from him. He has two of those. Let's take it. But I think you're right. I think there's there to the point where they're far ahead and they need to start running away with this thing. And the first, the biggest obstacle for a lot of them is going to be food and warmth.

They got warmth. They got to get food and you can look over and see Roman excelling at the fishing and thinking, man, if Luke just had a few more fish, they wouldn't be able, he'd be unstoppable. So yeah, I don't have a real issue with it, but it does kind of show you where they lie in response to everybody else. There's a reason why they've been at the top of our pyramid, basically every week. Yeah. And I don't know what all the options were. Like I have to assume that a tarp was not one of the options because then I think our teams would have picked that just based on the fact that it ends up raining and that being such a big deal, nobody has one. I assume that that is not an option. So what they're going to end up doing is doing like a little wilderness scavenger hunt, where they have to find different plants and animals and things that they, they say in the like description that these things are either food or medicinal. Were you under the impression that they were going to get to keep whatever they found?

I mean, I guess like for the plants and stuff, no reason not to, but like, we'll see, there's literally like animals and but like, there's a snake involved. But that could be bait. You know, I think Roman says it when he gets the frog, I think too. Yeah. There's probably other things that, I mean, you could, you could just eat the snake yourself, I guess. So yeah, why not? Why not get to keep it? Well, you know, now I'm yelling at production. Let people eat. If they find a food, who knows, I'm sure they could keep it. But if they find food, that I mean the food, what you want to bet? You want us to put the cricket back? Really? The grasshopper? Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess. Well, it seems like so they have 30 minutes to like send them information about where to find the different items and how to identify them and they're probably their uses. So I think it also like this could be used as an opportunity of like, hey, this type of, you know, moss or whatever you can eat. So like, here's some information on it and just to know that they could eat it.

Like that might be good. We see Romans and Summers teams both include information in their note about like the beacon in the water that landed last night. And we know that those are going to be the two who are going to end up swimming out to get it. Do you think any of the other teams also sent that information? I don't know. I'm sure everybody said something. Something, right? This is your first chance you get to talk to them. Yeah, this is your first chance you get to talk to them. You should say something, even if it's don't go get in the water. You know, I think it's Luke's family that says this is a death sentence. You go in that water, you get cold, it's a rap. You know, so that's probably what I would be saying. Hey, don't you even think about getting in that water? You know, just something like that or it's further than it looks. You know, just something because I think that, yeah, the temptation is definitely there. Sage knew immediately. He said summer. If summer sees that beacon, she's going to go for it. So, you know, I think it's just knowing your person and knowing if you need to update them on something like this.

There's probably certain people that would never go out there and try to swim and get it. But then you got the people who are strong enough swimmers where you say, hey, if you're looking for something else, here you go. Now, I'm a little bit confused and maybe you cop this. Also contestants, let us know in the chat. But what are there enough beacons for everyone to go out there and swim and get this? Are they is there one and they're all going to the same one? I could have sworn they were like multiple ones, like maybe two or three from the end of last episode. Basically did summer and Roman go to different ones and are those two now like depleted? Or is the idea anyone could could swim out there and get it? My, the way I read it was that it was anybody could go get that one beacon, you know, at the begin, when you get there, it has the little tubes attached to it or whatever, where they the little flare or whatever attached or in a little bag or something. I just assumed that they were all going to the same spot. But, you know, I wouldn't be shocked if there was, you know, multiple because it just to me, the show presented like this huge thing just fell into the water.

Right. And now they all have to decide if they want to go out and get that one thing as opposed to them having multiple to, you know, to try that time to go get. Yeah, definitely let us know in the chat how that, how that all broke down, because I kind of feel like because it wasn't announced that probably everyone could go out there. Because otherwise someone could go out there and be like, well hold on, there's nothing here. Unless they like put a note on it that says, sorry, it's empty. Oh, yeah, I was definitely concerned because after summer goes and gets hers, we see Roman get ready to go outside. Roman, don't go. It's empty. Don't do that. And then I said, oh, okay, whatever. It's not. It's not. They got. He gets a chance to. Yeah. So, Shepel has put up here. Here we go. This is the grid that we've got. So Grasshopper golden rod. I guess it's a plant lily pad, wintergreen, garter snake, earthworm, reindeer moss, aster and frog. We hear right away from Holly's team that like she's a really good gardener.

And they've already noticed that she has been eating. I don't remember which thing it was golden rod golden rod. And so they're like, oh, she's going to be, she's going to be good. And she does. She crushes that she gets. I don't know. I can't remember how many things at the end, like six or seven of them. It takes a while to get three in a row because you have to like tick, tick tock toe this to win. But yeah, Holly, Holly crushes this. Yes. I loved watching a poly in this challenge. She's such a badass. She's really good gardener. So she's going to have an advantage. And she just. Just does it. She just kills it. Now there's a. Doug, Doug getting four of them in the four corners. In the corners. What's not how you played it? Tech toe duck. Look, he was like, if I could just get that snake, then I automatically win. He said, look, I can, you can't stop me. The snake is the funniest part because you know they put it in the middle because they know that's the one. The least the people are probably least likely to grab. But I loved this. I loved, first of all, I love little grab in the snake.

It just. And Katie almost did. Yeah. Katie, who is a terrified of snakes apparently. I'm going to talk a little bit that they had that we even had anyone find a snake. Like, I have seen many snake in my snakes in my life. But like, I don't know that if I was just outside in the woods and then someone said, go find a snake that I could find one quickly. See, I thought about that too because these are very specific animals, even the grasshopper part, right? You know, or cricket, whatever this is, the idea that I could just go outside and find one, I couldn't count on that, right? But if I ever was in the woods, I could probably count on one finding me. So I figured these are probably the most the animals that are the most dense in the woods. You know, maybe they surveyed the area or something and they said, okay, you can't, you know, you can't miss these damn snakes there everywhere. You know, or something like that. Maybe there's a nest. I don't know. So somewhere around. But I totally thought about that because like you said, how am I just supposed to go reach into the dirt and find a garter snake and then actually do it?

And we saw multiple people do it. And it looks like you have to, you have to have at least one live animal in order to get three in a row. And if you get the worm, which is probably the easiest one, you still need at least one more live animal. You're either going to need this snake or the grasshopper to be able to get it. So yeah, interesting. I love it. I love this. Did you like this? I did like it. I think that this was, this is the better version of the like shoot down a bird or whatever the challenge was that they were supposed to do last season. I think this is the better version of that because I like the idea that you can like forage and find some things and that you don't really know how everyone else is doing. Also, the way this works is that there's a penalty, which I like. So the person who finds three in a row fastest will win. But also, if you find the least number of items, you have to, that the winning team will get to choose one to take away. Now, like we mentioned, Roman and Summer both end up going for the.

Actually, now that I'm saying this, did Roman do it after the challenge was over? I believe so. Yeah. Summer did it during the challenge. And so she only ends up with two. Amy also only finds two. And Roman only finds two. Well, he thinks he finds three, but he misidentified something. So he only found two and then. But both summer and Roman end up picking to get a bear skin. And it's like their options were a sleeping pad of bear skin or a cheeseburger. No, it was. Was it? There were three options for sure, but I'm trying to go. I know bear skin and cheeseburger were two. Yeah. I'll tell you in two seconds. It was so many notes about this. Come back to me. And this was, this was kind of similar to the one that. Yeah. Somebody won last season where they ended up getting like a state or something. Yeah. This is such a.

There were, there were, there were multiple things like this, but like these are sort of like the big, the big prizes. It reminds me when you're playing a video game and they'll have the drop and it's like, oh, I got the gilly suit. Yeah. Yeah, this was the bear skin sleeping bag and cheeseburger. You're right. You're right. Yeah. Bear skin sounds good. It practice. I didn't, I don't think you did what I needed to do from a girl. Here's the thing. I am not a scientist. I'm only speaking from experience. But like, if you're, so let's say you're sleeping in bed and you've got, you've got your blanket of whatever type, you know, laying out on top of you. And then if you're cold, if you add another blanket on top of that, it's not as warm as if you have a blanket underneath your main one sort of wrapped around you. Yeah. The sleeping bag is obviously the best way to stay warm because you're insulating, you're wrapping around yourself. And I think this is why when summer gets her blanket taken away, it's like, it almost would have been better to get the bear skin taken away, even though the bear skin is probably heavier.

It's like, unless she can like wrap herself completely in the bear skin, I think having the sleeping or the blanket is preferable. Yeah, that's such a, that's such a good point because if you have the option between a bear skin and sleeping bag. I think it was a sleeping, I think it was a sleeping pad. I think it was like, what is a sleeping pad? Like, like, the thing that I'm not sure. It's yeah, but like, kind of, it's like a, the thing I'm picturing for camping, it's like the, these are always orange. And you sort of like, very gently blow it up, but it's only like an inch high, if that. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Sort of like, Matt, that you would sleep on to be a little more comfortable, but it's not good. Okay. But I thought they said sleeping bag. You're right. I think so because I think that they would have picked the sleeping bag. Right. Yeah. Sleeping pad makes more sense because they can bear skin sound cool, but it does not going to do the same as the blanket that you can just completely engulf yourself in. You know, Roman looked really cool wearing the bear skin.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I would have done that. They did. This is like a bear skin with a complete like face on it. So it's like, if you imagine like a bear skin rug. Like they're, they're fuzzy and they're probably somewhat warm and somewhat heavy. But I don't think it was big enough to like completely burrito yourself in. It didn't even look that heavy. You know, I just, I thought like I was really hoping that it was, you know, grizzly bear. Yeah. It felt like one of these cute little brownies they got running around. He's the bear warm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month. Each lasting four hours or more can make me feel like a spectator in my own life. Botox on a botulinum toxin A prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alerture doctor right away is difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle

weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert Eaton Syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor, visit BotoxCronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44 Botox to learn more. So, yeah, they both get that. And then, yeah, probably wettings. This is the part where I was like a little bit frustrated because, yeah, they had to make this decision. And I was like, ooh, oh, how the turntables, like they're gonna have to, you know, get a taste of their own medicine or whatever. But not really because they just basically, they don't pick Amy's team because she has like nothing. So, she has nothing to lose. And then they're basically like, okay, we could take away Roman's fire starter,

and then he's basically out. Or we could take away summers blanket because she just got the bear skin. And I don't even know if the bear skin, like because they just went out and got that. I'm not even sure that was an option to take that away. Yeah, I don't think so. No. So, she hadn't even received it yet. And then go up and explain to Stacey and Sage, like they're talking through, you know. Here's our reason why they're like, yeah, yeah. We understand, like they're upset, but they understand. And then meanwhile, like Trung and Skyler and Lindsay and Dallas are like, thank you. Thank you so much for sparing us. And I'm like, none of y'all were thanking Katie's team for sparing you last time, like from taking something away. So, I don't know. The team was not spared last time. We're not them, but like we didn't see, you know, we saw the team being mad for not being given anything. And then we saw teams like being mad for having stuff taken away. But like the teams that were spared, like Amy's team was spared from having at least we didn't take anything away from you. I don't know.

Yeah, Amy's team. Why y'all? No, Amy's team was pissed too. I think I don't know. Everybody was mad yesterday yesterday. Everyone was mad last episode at the sisters. And I told you, I thought they were being too hard on them anyway, but I thought socially. I was very impressed with how team Pauli handled this. No, they did. They did a good job. I'm just annoyed that it seems like people were not treating them as harshly as they were treating. Yeah, I think it's the approach. I think it is the approach, right? I think Emily and Carly were a lot more shifty when they did it, right? Skyler catches them and immediately she takes off. You can't tell anybody. And then while they're gone, I was telling everybody, hey, they got a thing. Then they come out. What do you do? They can't tell anybody. They're still not saying anything. Then they take from the. Pauli, who nobody is considering the number one, you know, threat out here. Luke, I guess, would be that person that people are thinking that if you're going to take anybody, take something for somebody, take it from Luke.

Take it from Pauli. So that kind of puts the peeking on them a little bit more. And then they give their number one ally an additional thing, you know, very publicly. Seriously, you couldn't gave that to any of us. You gave it to your friends. You know, so that's how they handled it versus how Pauli's family, before they even get up, they're looking around and say, hey, is there anything you want to give? Is there anybody? Anybody want to volunteer? No, I don't. You're not. You don't take anything from me. It's fine. They go in there. And they try to do the least amount of harm. They have the two. They have the fork in the roll, right? This way, you can you can eliminate Roman, which honestly, probably wouldn't be that bad if I did. Yeah. Roman seems to be picking up some momentum here. Then on this other side, you can do like almost a half measure, right? You kind of take something from her, but she just got a thing, it kind of balances out. You said, this is what we saw doing the least amount of harm. I think Mary, this was what you were talking about last episode, which is,

you can do the least amount of harm or you can do the thing that takes the people out. But you can't do. I would you. I think that last episode, you explained it better than what I'm trying to say. Whereas this is like you did this to socially stay in good graces or at least maybe because you just didn't have the heart to try to take somebody out. But it's still a competition to get your person further. I think I would have liked this a better. If they did not have the option. If no one had the option to be immune, if everybody was on the table. I think Holly should have had her pick of the litter because they. Well, I think she's definitely going to Katie's team, right? And that's fine. I just think that because then the question is, oh, it's Katie's team more threatening than Luke. You know, I think I would I would rather than be able to take a shot at somebody who is threatening to them. As opposed to having with Luke's team. Yeah, no, I'm not saying they should shoot at Luke. I'm just saying I would like the option to be there if they did want to make a move.

This time they're shooting at the people who did the worst at the challenge. Why would I need to kick Amy while she's down? You know, I want to be able to take out the people who are. Yeah, that's a flaw in the structure of the competition. I don't know. But I think also the show needs to to weadle like the cast down. And so I think are whittled the cast down. Whatever. So I think that I think that's why they did it this way because they need someone to be hurt to go home. It ends up, it ends up being interesting because I think what Holly or what Molly and Bailey decide to do. They're trying to do the least amount of damage. They end up, I mean, the result is that summer ends up going home due to this, which is interesting because I think. I think what you what you want to have happen is either you want to make a decision that takes someone out instantly. Yeah. Or make a decision that causes the least damage. They kind of do both, which ends up working out really well for them. But I think it was a little bit unintentional. I don't think that they thought by taking away summer's blanket that she would end up going home.

And I think that that's the flaw with targeting poly in the previous episode is it made poly really mad and uncomfortable. And she didn't have a she didn't go anywhere, but she didn't go anywhere. And then and now she got the sleeping bag back from winning. But she or you know, she got a new sleeping bag from winning this challenge. But they're still mad at Katie's team. So you kind of the way we had issues with the way Katie is team to handle this last week. I do not have an issue with the way this team handled it. Policy handled it. I don't know notes, you know, for me on this one, I think that's how you do it. I would love to see a world where they were more ready to be cutthroat and take out a team like Amy's. But at the same time, they don't have to. She's in on a life with the number one people on the board right now. She seems to be handling herself pretty well. They just got our sleeping bag. You don't have to punch down necessarily. No, I think and I think the issue I have because I don't have an issue with the sisters.

Like playing hardball last time. I think the thing is what you wanted to is make you want to make a hardball decision and play hardball. But be able to publicly show it differently by sort of. Avoiding Bailey and Molly, even though I know it's hard to confront someone or, you know, to apologize to someone when they're upset. But like by avoiding them by being a little shifty. And I know some of it was probably them at the time thinking, well, this card has just told me I need to keep the secret. So I can't, you know, when when Skylar caught me, I can't say, oh, yes, I found something. But I think that that's. I don't know. They needed to they needed to play it a little differently, even if they make the exact same decisions they made. I think it's more like the tone or whatever, you know, it's how they said it. Not that they said it. Paul is being marching right over and being, you know, and just being upfront about it. This is why we did it. This is why, you know, we saw Lindsey have to go to the sisters and say, now, why did you pick Dallas? It should be the other way around. We were forced into this. So I don't know how to shame that I did it, you know, but we fear hiding, you know, or you're giving off the perception that you're not proud of this move.

Then it makes it seem like you too know that you were doing something that was a little shifty. And so I've been, I'm a really big fan of both of these teams, especially now. Pauli's team, I always, I always like Pauli's team. But last episode, I was kind of looking at the crazy. They're taking it as an extremely personally, even though it's a game. But in this episode, I really enjoyed the way they handled being in that hot seat. And I'm curious to know because we haven't really got insight into this yet. Like how upset, like I know Pauli was obviously upset to get the thing taken away. But it is Pauli also feel like this kind of like the way that Bailey does of like, oh, that's dirty gameplay. It's like, it wasn't dirty gameplay to take something away. That was the task they were set. You had to take something away. It was more just like, yeah, the way they did it. But anyway, so I want to shout out Amy real quick. Yeah. Because she has nothing. She has the least amount of supplies or shelter, honestly, compared to some of the other ones, didn't look great either.

It looked like it had much bigger open, like doorway. And she's still like, I know, I know she was complaining about the rain that happens, but like. Everybody else has so much more comfort and stuff than she does. I feel like. And she's still. I tell you, I think it's going to reflect to what we kind of feel about Amy. I'm too, I'm nervous for Amy. I'm nervous. She's not winning a lot of stuff. Yeah. She not winning a lot of stuff. She doesn't have a lot of things with her. And she. Trunks said that they were hiking for three and a half hours or something looking for those bugs and stuff. Three and a half hours. Yeah. Yeah. I. Amy is a soldier. You know, I don't know what else to say. You know, that three and a half hours with barely any supplies and food and. I would be shocked if Amy is not extracted soon. Just because she has so little. Now, I would be pleasantly surprised because I've been enjoying watching her navigate this with so little, but. It's not looking great.

Yeah. It's not looking great, but I guess in comparison when you compare like Amy and summer. Like, Summer has stuff. She had bearskin at least. She had a bear skin. But she couldn't get fire. You know, I think that's the other part too, Mary is the mental toll that some of this stuff takes on her. You can tell that not getting the fire was almost more detrimental than losing the sleeping bag. I mean, the blanket because it was just the frustration of. I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm a star. I'm not a star. Is it the person outside and the wilderness is going to have that negative self-talk moment where they say, oh, I can't do this, and when they said out loud. You know, we rarely see people come back from that. Yeah. Let's go through by looking at the cast a little bit, I want to talk about some people in general. We talked about Luke and his strong team. We didn't really see a ton from any of the three brothers this episode.

I think just because they're still doing so well. Yeah, every time we cut to them, they're saying something that I am very happy to hear, you know, when these people are getting extracted, this is good for them. They know it's good for them and they're identifying it. And I like that, you know, when people are getting in trouble and things of that nature, you can often cut to Daniel and David, you know, kind of looking at each other or saying something because they, they're in it to win it. They're in it to play the game. And I appreciate them. So, you know, as much as they were kind of getting a villainous and I want to say to at the beginning, this episode wasn't as bad. Yeah, I agree. I think that this is, this is sort of what happens when you go out of the gate, really strong, play really hard, set yourself up with a lot of good supplies, have a good, you know, survival is to can survive off a little, you know, only certain items. And then they kind of just coast while everyone else goes up and down on a roller coaster. So many people wanted sleeping bags and blankets and Lucas had one since episode one because

they broke that glass. Yep. I want to also shout out when they have the really bad rain storm, I think Luke's shelter, being that more up and down like conical teepee kind of shape, I think probably does help because it's harder for the rain to get through, yeah, just going to slide down. So that's at least what they made it look like. Yeah. And Luke's good. He just reached over and grabbed that snake and I was like, I could do that, you know, it's very excited to see what you should tell. You're a snake. I love snakes. Oh, my God, it's my favorite animal. Do you have a pet snake or anything? I do not, I do not have a pet snake, but I want one. So yeah, I know a snake guy who wants to have no idea, I have a picture of the snake I want. I can't put it on the screen because it's on my phone, but I can, you know, it's all the thing. Yeah. Well, I had no idea. That was a snake guy. There you go. I am ambivalent towards snakes. I am not afraid of them, but I don't know that I think it would, it would take me a little bit of hyping up to grab a snake.

So I don't know, my guess is you were not allowed to do this, but like I would have probably tried to kill the snake first and then put it in the bag before I picked it up. I'm sure you could have killed it first. That's one thing that I would not want to, I'm sure you could have killed it. It was allowed for me to smash the snake with a rock and then pick it up because I think I would be too afraid to be like, well, what if the snake bites me, even if it's not like venomous, venomous, venomous, I think I would have had no issue killing the snake if I needed to. Okay. I love snakes, but at the same time, hey, it's me or you, you know, yeah, exactly. So Doug, I want to talk a little bit about, we didn't talk about it much last time. I think part, a huge part of Katie's team's downfall last episode has to do with Alec and Dayton getting in the sister's ears and being like, we need to take Paulie out. She's the biggest threat because I think if they had targeted Luke, everyone would have

been like, oh, that's a bummer. But like, yeah, he is the strongest. I think it's the fact that for whatever reason, Alec and Dayton think want Paulie out before Luke, which I don't, I don't understand why because I don't think that's the most beneficial thing. But I think that that was their thought process and they were able to convince the sisters to do that. And it was supposed to be the three, the three teams, I believe. I think R.J.'s family was in that conversation as well. Yeah. Yeah. In my mind, I think they thought that they could land a death blow on Paulie in the game, you know, like it take her out, you know, with just one thing. Yeah. Exactly. I think that's what they were thinking. But I think they did the wrong pick here. I mean, like, I understand that, that idea, but I actually think taking something away from like Roman would have hurt him more. Mm-hmm. Look, if you tell me Roman's fire, I mean, yeah, taking away his fire definitely, that would have been bad.

That would have been bad. What are you going to do with all these fish? He's got you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't know. I kind of was leaning toward they were trying to take Paulie out of the game by making one swift move and just hoping that it would, it would break her. And it did not. And now here we are. Now had Paulie not won this competition, I think that's the thing, you know, we, we talk about all the time, but, you know, you never know what's going to be the thing to take you out the game. If Paulie loses this competition and let's say Alec and Doug and they didn't win and they take something from Paulie. She's done. I don't think she managed to get her back. So, yeah, I've gotten rid of the X because she has a sleeping bag again. So, you know, honestly, a good episode for all three of them, Molly, Paulie and Bailey, I think they, they were able to get Paulie a sleeping bag with a small amount of blowback. So, which could have been a lot worse and they pretty much directly get somewhere out

of the game. No notes. They did it. Exactly what you want to see when someone is putting a hot seat. They handled it perfectly.

Look. Keep it down. She's doing okay, like in most of the senses, we do not see her be one of the people who is complaining about the rain as much. She has her sleeping back from last time. But okay. We need to apologize. I need to make a public apology from last episode. I said, and I have reason to say what I said, but I said that I thought it was not a good idea that Amy was cleaning her teeth with a stick. And I turned out, did not know this, that Amy is a dental hygienist. So I should have just trusted what she should have, she should have known that, or wait, hold on. Is it a dental hygienist or a dentist or did someone in the cat who is an entire genus also? I think I was told by multiple dental, multiple people from the dental hygiene, but like industry, Amy is a registered dental hygienist. Yes. We are.

We are using sticks the way that she found that were softer and cleaned is way cleaner than using your fingernails. Apparently. Now, I guess I think I, I don't know why I thought that sticks. But it's because I poked myself in the eye with the stick once, and then my mom was like, you need to go to the emergency room to fix this. And so I'm just thinking, oh my gosh, sticks are so dirty, like that's so bad, right? Poke your toe, but I, it's bad, yeah, it's bad. So don't get the part where she says, you know, don't use your finger, because that's it. Don't use your finger because they have way more bacteria. Yeah. We, listen, we are not a survival guide. Okay. We don't think. Oh, please stop publishing your articles about our podcast being bad for the dental hygiene of America. Do not put your finger in your mouth. It's nasty. We're sorry. Um, according to Amy, please do not ever use your nails extremely dirty and hold a lot of bacteria. Um, I assume that Amy is even saying don't use your nails like just at home in the real

world, which I'm sorry. I do. I do. Yeah. But, um, but yeah, dirty fingers out there, probably really bad. Um, so basically, let's, let's not do that. Now, the reason I had brought this up was because as a survivor viewer, um, I was thinking back to a famous Serita White from survivor redemption island season 22, who was complaining about her mouth hurting after spending a lot of time leaning her teeth with a stick. Now, she could have easily used the wrong kind of stick or a dirty stick or poke herself in the gums or went at it too hard or whatever, but that was, I was having flashbacks to that. She did not, she did not get medically evacuated from that, but I do think that she, the complaining and general planning, she was doing in general, contributed to her vote out. Anyway, so, um, that, look, I apologize, uh, apparently we, we, and here's what I will say. Do not clean your teeth with a stick unless you are very sure and are a dental hygienist

and know that you're doing using the right type of stick. I'm not going to just condone stick usage, a general, but we are going to condone the fingernail usage. Don't do that. No, don't do that because Amy said that Amy told us to tell y'all, don't do that. We said we said use your fingernail. We were wrong. Yes. And shout out to, um, uh, Tina, also who is another dental hygienist, the science community really just sent us a, a season to assist. And so y'all, we barely got this podcast back for season two. Let's just. I know. I'm so sorry. We're trying our best. Please don't come at us. Don't tell our boss. We made a mistake. I'm sorry. Uh, but speaking of Katie, yeah, something's going on either because she's not cleaning, but they, they seem to talk a lot about like how this is happening because she's hungry. Um, it looks bad. Her, her gums are completely white. Um, they appear to be like sort of peeling back. It's like pretty gruesome, um, like you can see a lot more of her teeth, like it's, it's

not good. Um, honestly, this is the kind of thing that would pull me from the game, like legitimately. If I was, if I did not have reassurance from someone out there, like a producer being like, don't worry, this is like fixable once the game is over. You'll be able to like get this all fixed out. Teeth are some of the few things where I am like very nervous about, like you can't think, like you don't, you're teeth don't grow back. But don't come to see us as I don't know that this is come disease, but like Mary, I'm with you 100%, I'm with you 100%. You, you're speaking my language. I am a tooth person. Okay. I don't like I vary. I, I wake up having a, uh, my tooth fell out nightmare. At least once a quarter, you know, that is one of my, that, that is proof every time it gets me every single time I am one of those crazy people. Please do not, do not yell at me in the comments, but I'm one of those crazy people who has considered getting those tick-tock veneers, uh, because it's just, don't get veneers. I said, don't yell at me. I said, I considered it.

I'm not going to do it, but I do think about it from time to time when I see people with those perfectly straight, like, you know, I, I kind of want them, I cry every time a celebrity who has such a cute, unique, like smile gets the, like generic veneer smile. I want them and I want the big one. It's so sad. I'm not forgiving. You know, like, get the one size fit all ones that, that everybody gets the big ones and you're just like, I know you know, there's a too big for your mouth. Those are, I, I just like the idea of them. Okay. And so I am a tooth person as well. This would have stressed me out. I was about to flappers. Remember flappers, like, with the little, the little girls in the, like, pageants would use when they didn't even have their teeth. And they basically were like a retainer that you put in over, over a talk. Yeah. That's like fake, like, that I can understand, but like, don't, don't rip your teeth out. And then veneers over top of them, they shave them. And then, you know, I'm just going to have people on the chat being like, no, veneers, they're actually really good for you and they're great. And as a dental hygienist, don't yell at me.

I'm just saying, don't yell at me. I know it's crazy, but I'd be thinking about it. Anyway, my point here is that this would stress me out. And I think I was told this, but I've had this fear for a very long time, maybe probably rational, but whatever. I was told that if you get to dehydrate it, your, your gums will start to peel. And so I thought that's what was happening with Katie. Because I do, like, I think, like, I've been a water, I, I've been a water. I got to drink a ton of water because of that. I've been afraid of it. It's a big fan of snakes and water and teeth, big three, the big three. This stressed me out. I thought it was infected. I am very concerned about Katie because how do you fix this? How do you stop it from happening? Thank God you have people like Molly, who's in the game, say, Oh, they're, they're in the, a queue being able to reassure them, but also say that because she's her starving, you know? So yeah, she's going to unstar herself. Unless you get some type of big meal. If that is the problem, I don't see this reversing itself. You probably need to get medical attention.

I'm nervous. I'm so frustrated because this seems to be really the only strike against her physically out there. Yeah, absolutely. And she has a wedding coming up. We didn't know that. Yeah. Now, I mean, we could, we could figure this out probably by just like finding her, making sure that her teeth are still. Right. Did she get married? Yes, you know, because she did it. She didn't get married. Well, hold on. What's her, she has social media Katie. I don't know. I can't just, I can't just catch Katie. First Katie extracting, yeah. Katie extracted no idea. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But to me, this was one of these are one of those medical. This is one of those medical moments that you don't think you would have to deal with on the show, right? You probably think I get with my ankle. I get scraped something. I can get an infection from a cut or something like that. I don't think you think my mouth is going to start betraying me. You know, that's what we should think about that famously cast away. He's got the tooth toothache.

And he has like knock his tooth out or whatever. Yeah, that's true. I mean, to read a white cast away, you got also, but also Mary, I mean, they're putting so much in their mouths that and they don't, they don't have any soap to our knowledge. There's no, there's nothing anti bacterial about this. So anytime they eat something, I'm assuming they're using their hands for a lot of things. They're probably exposing their mouth to a lot of germs. Yeah. And this, this, this is the kind of thing that would take me out because I'm a, I'm like one of those people who like opens things with my teeth and like, you know, like when you have to, like, when you have like a knot that you need to untie stuff, I'm bad, you know, I also chew ice. So like I love my teeth, but I'm very afraid for myself because of my bad habits. But anyway, okay, all right, RJ kind of a mostly neutral episode for RJ with the exception of the end of the episode where it seems like he's really struggling from the rain.

But other than that, he was doing fine. It's a great character episode for RJ, you know, RJ's arc is, he was the big football player guy. And now he's really where he was in the top of Lee talks in football puns. She wasn't wrong. She, she wasn't wrong. The game can't reset after half time. This is the second half because it can't. I said, well, she's not wrong. Turn it up. I, I won't play this one. She was not wrong. RJ is happy outside. I'm so, I'm so proud of him for being able to experience this. They really, they do talk about how being outdoorsy is not really a black sport. You know, that people do it. Don't get me wrong. But as you can see, even in the representation on this show, you get one or two of season. You know, it's not, it's not typically something that I'm familiar with. And we're, me and McKaylor wrote from Texas. So, you know, maybe it's just regional. But RJ being able to, to go out and enjoy this kind of experience is something that I'm very happy for him. Like he's clearly happy to talk. He's right up thrallicking in the meadow, literally frallicking and slow as hell.

You know, it's love, but that's because he's just soaking it in. You know, I, there's the point where you're miserable. And at the point where you get to experience how beautiful this is being around what you love. And so I can't be happier for this moment for him. Yeah, it was, it was cute. I thought this was a good character moment. I like that. It seems like Tanisha and McKaylor are getting along. I don't know. Can I just say I'm very concerned about RJ. RJ does not have anything. What is he, what, what is he living off of? Hope. Yeah, he doesn't have a blanket. Hang on. What does he have? RJ has, he doesn't have a sleeping bag. Yeah, he didn't get a sleeping bag, he didn't get a blanket. He has a large knife, matches and fishing light. Oh my gosh, he has nothing. Nothing. It's terrible. Wait, didn't they send them, they sent them to Apple the tuna today, right? So they sent them to sleep in back. So he does have no, you only get the apple and tuna or whatever if you, if you won. Oh, yeah, RJ gets nothing.

He has nothing. This man has nothing. He's just out there when they came back to the episode started. He's just sitting there just, just cold. Oh, man. Yeah, so proud of RJ for making it this far, but God, he got to get something. McKaylor and Tanisha's got to, they got to, they got to cut some boats. Yeah, yeah, he needs help. I think he has, he has like a mouse trap or something or a snare. They have nothing. Yeah, not good for RJ. I'm worried about him for next time based on the, the cliffhanger that we, we had this as a cliffhanger from last episode and it's still a cliffhanger from this episode. The whole like three people are wanting to are asking to be evicted or extracted. Yeah, that's the name of the show. The name of the show. Yep. All right. Roman got a bare skin. He had his blanket taken away last time. Um, I love Dallas hiding the like key to the, um, the extraction thing from Lindsay. Like, where is our extraction card?

He's like, you don't even know about that. That's not your business. I support this, I support this too. This is how they should all be behaving. Dallas, Dallas is not, Lindsay's going to have to grab that from him in order to extract her son. It's, it's so funny because Dallas has the moments where Lindsay says, hey, be nicer. He's trying his best. Dallas is being the harder older brother or Roman. But also that cheerleader side that I was talking about that I have for my brother. Dallas definitely has that too. Roman is out there cooking in a lot of ways. There's some moments. I mean, the catching the fish, the swimming out there to the buoy. Yes, he's got fire. He's got food. He's, uh, he's swim out there to the buoy. He got the bare skin. Um, Roman is doing really. We have seen him canonically catch three fish at least three fish. Yeah. And the one, this one was big. Oh, I will. Yeah. Sorry. Never mind. Continue. I was going to say if I was a nice Q, I'd be very concerned about how to beat Roman because he's so resilient. And I think that's probably somebody you should start looking at as a far as a big threat later on in the game.

I agree. Yeah. I think probably taking away his fire source would be the, the main thing that you do to try and take him out. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I, they, they called it out for team Polly said, we could take away his flint and steel and this is, this is probably do it. And he is one of the three who's suffering from the rain. It is Roman RJ and Amy. So if he makes through this, this night and doesn't ask to be extracted in the morning, I think he could be okay. I think it's going to be okay. I have, I have high hopes for Roman in his episode. Yeah, this is a good, this is a good story. Yeah. Who would have thought I definitely think like episode one, I was not expecting Roman to have this kind of survival grit to him, but he does. That's great. Yeah. Amy, like we mentioned, not a great episode. She's suffering. She is. She has nothing. She did get a crawfish. So she got like one little shrimp, so like 30 calories.

All I know is when it was either Skyler or Trung was like, oh, it's like a hundred count. No, not not even close. It was small and she, that three and a half hours wandering in the, in the forest. It's just crazy for your amount of calories that you burn. I think we should be very concerned about Amy as well. Like props to her resiliency, but also, she needs something. She needs something. She needs help. Her and RJ are down bad. Yeah. Yep. Um, next we have, oh, that was it. That's everybody's trial because summer's gone. Uh, now Sage does have like a bajillion great big brother points, um, little brother points, little brother points. Yeah, that's why that's why this makes so much sense. He's been bullied. Yeah. So I don't know the age difference, but it seems like they didn't really quite grow up together.

Um, which is so much in this episode about sage. Feeling like he's got a more of a relationship with summer, which is kind of funny, considering the fact that like they actually haven't talked the two of them throughout all of this. Um, Stacy is so happy with the outcome of this relationship. Like, you know, I'm, the thing I'm sad about is that that four of diamonds is never going to come back anymore, which I thought was hilarious. I love sage with the coffee mug pacing, like the, the stress father, you know, yes. Yeah, she's gonna, she's a good, that's a good kid, man, she's resilient. That's, you know, that we raised the right sage. Please, um, that was so cool, but also the extraction was brutal. Summer says, it's time for me to go. I'm just because I am, I am always strong, you know, just doesn't mean that, you know, doesn't look like I'm weak, doesn't mean I'm not having like weak moments. I think it's what she's trying to say. And we talk about that too in this, as a strategy, you know, you can be strong,

but looking strong will, will not afford you any extra things. No one's giving anything to the strong people they expect for the strong people to offend for themselves. I think summer might be used to being the strong person in her life. And so, yeah, she went out here, but she thought it out. It was very impressive. And on top of that, uh, her swimming across that, that lake is crazy, you know, she did it without the, the float, the like the floating log that Roman has. She just went out there on her own, you know what? Roman like dragging a log with him was kind of funny. Yeah, it was, it was huge. It wasn't just a, it was like a tree branch, you know, uh, summer was floating on something, but I don't know what it could have been. She had to be, I mean, she swam so far, but yeah, she killed it. She killed it, um, and when she said, I wanted to be extracted. Hey, man, shout out to Stacy. Stacy said, Hey, let's go say she's like, no, don't you want to talk? Hey, hey, hey, get out the way. Give me my card. Let me go get my daughter. She was not playing around. She said, times up. Let's go home and, uh, she went and got her quickly. Sandra would never, Sandra's in there hiding the key like Dallas and Stacy

would have broke that glass to go press that button to get summer out. Once summer said she was done, she was done. Yeah, summer was standing up the, the second, the state, or sorry, Stacy was standing up the second summer said anything. And sage, I do appreciate the sage did not press the button. You know, he was like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to pull summer from this. Um, but yeah, she was a champ. She was great. She clearly someone who is, is much tougher than most people are going to give her credit for. Um, also an interesting fact, um, she made it 14 days. Sage says he would have made it 14 hours. I believe now, now I'm second guessing myself. Didn't last season only last two weeks? No, it was a little bit more. It was a little bit more. It was, it was almost three weeks. Yeah, it was almost three weeks. Okay, so never mind. That was why I was like, hold on. We're lasting way further. But still at this point, uh, okay, I mean, I'm going to go back and check. So vamp for a second. She'll tell while I look up a stat from last season. Okay. Uh, yeah. So watching the eliminations happen so slowly this season, Mary,

have been very interested in me because we were so used to last up last season. I felt like every other episode we were losing somebody. And now I don't know if the, and I was, I've been toyed with this idea since last week, but I can't tell if it's that people were more well prepared to come in this time. Or if they're not being pushed as much. Or if they're just, you know, I can't tell why they're lasting so long. I think because I cast it. I think they are more prepared because so I looked up the stat from last season. Uh, first person was out on day two. Then we got three people leave on day six. It was in two different episodes, but we had, uh, Anthony left a two, Davina Ashley and Rose all left a six, Ryan W leaves day nine, Robin leaves day 10, Jacobin around day 14, circa then and Ryan H around day 14. So at this point, we had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight people

leave. Whereas we've only had summer is only the fourth person, fourth person. So they're dropping half as fast, um, and then after Ryan and Jacobin left on day 14 last season, the final three all made it to day 21. Yeah, yeah. So that's what happened there. So right now we still have what seven people left or something. Yeah, seven people in seven days, roughly. Yeah. So we'll see how many we get to the end, um, or what happens there. But yeah, it was definitely a very different pace last season. Mm hmm. So I like this. I like the way they're handling it. I think you're right. I think when, let me mean, you basically applied to. So you know, when you, when you see the show, you now know, okay, I think I can do that or I, I'm not going to do that. And I think the first season, they really did it, no, but we've seen that with so

many other reality TV shows, Mary, all the shows that me and you have watched the first season always get a, you know, it's always a little raggedy. Um, and I thought extractor season was fine. So it has nowhere to go. But up there might have been more rain last time, but I feel like this time it's been colder. We've seen more wildlife. Yeah. And I think also this time, I remember last time like every time we would do an exit interview, they'd be like, oh, I also had beans and this and that like I think I'll give it more food. Um, so anyway, some more things from summer, because summer has been one of our most vocal people in the chat. Summer, please continue to send us messages in the chat. If you have more insight on the season. So she said, uh, by the time they did that steak challenge last episode, summer had gone the longest without eating any food, um, over three days, which is wild. Yeah. Um, so there's that also, uh, Polly, one of the, some of the reasons that people were targeting her is because she was kind of heard it from this episode, eating a lot of plants, like and

just being very positive. Um, so that was, uh, that was something else. Also, they apparently they do not know when someone gets extracted. So that did factor into the steak challenge because they had no idea how many people were left at that point. Um, or I guess they know they, they knew who was left based on the team up challenge. They knew, um, yeah, they got a feel for who was left in the game at that point. Yeah, so they got to feel at that point, but they, they did not know about the most recent extraction at that point. Uh, so interesting. Is that really cool detail about Polly and the, and the, and the, and the plants because Dallas was the one who pointed out that she was eating the golden rod. And so it's very clear that they're all paying attention to each other and what they got going on. Yes, definitely. Um, cool. Shall we do our tear list? Yes. Let's pull that up. Um, because we sadly, we have to put one of our uh, one of our faves in the extracted column. We do. All right. So this is the list as it stands and look at summer going all the way from moderate.

I know. She's been doing so well. Hmm. Didn't we get a status change on somebody or was, was that, um, Katie is in elevated. She is in orange. Um, I, I, I think Katie also should be in orange. Um, even though she wasn't complaining about the, the, uh, rain as much, I think that she's in elevated and I, I would even put, I mean, the, the other three who were in elevated also, I think they are all, are all in elevated at this point. Um, I would put Amy in severe. I'm not quite sure why what she has going for herself aside from being resilient. I think I'm, I mean, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. Yeah. They don't have anything right now. They are most likely of, of, of my opinion to get extracted. I, I bump poly. If anybody's the way up either to polysline or moderate, like she's, I'm going baseline for poly. Yeah. I think she's doing well. And I think, I think the only reason I even have Doug, I think Doug could be in baseline,

but I'm putting him in moderate because I think, I think his mouth is getting him into trouble. He don't know how to act. Dougie's not doing as well. Dougie fresh. What are you doing? Dougie out there. Oh, man, you know what's great. This sleeping bag I got, because you're hate to be without a sleeping bag. Couldn't have had to be so broke. Yeah. I don't even care who gave it to me. Yep. Yeah. Okay. And for me, while for my, uh, Molly is like, you, you don't even care where you got it from. And that's like, I don't even care where I got it from. Yup. So, um, for the, uh, for the non-visual listeners, we've got Luke and Polly up here at the baseline, Doug and moderate, Katie and Roman and elevated. And then in severe, we've got RJ and Amy and then some are now moved down to extracted along with Eric. And could I make a case and make a case to move Roman up to moderate? He's had so much fish. I think he could. He was just complaining about the, the rain so much that he was one of the three who

was saying that they were talking about wanting to be extracted. That's true. That's true. I just, I'm so proud of him getting the fire and the fish going in the fish and the bear skin. I mean, I can go either way. I think he's close. He's, he's on the cusp to me. Okay. Let's leave him there. Let's leave him there. It's, it, look, you can easily go from severe to baseline. We just saw Polly do it. So if he makes it through this next episode unscathed, then yeah, he's moving up. Yeah. But right now, I think Amy and RJ and I was like, well, I think Amy and RJ are probably on the bubble. I think we could potentially even see, let's see, this was episode six. So we've got like three, three ish more potentially. If there's another 10 episodes, wait, that's not right. Amy, RJ and I hate to see it. Katie. I know. So those are the three. I'm most worried about at this, the gooms, the, and I don't know how the gums are going to turn around like in less, how do you turn them around? I don't know. And like a week on that and they look so much worse, even in this episode over the

course of a day or two. So this is making my sense. Okay. We got some kind of norms. Is we do that? You know, I'm getting like the Phantom Bains. Like, yeah, yeah, I can't think about it. Shoes, I can't do it. Sorry. It's not good. All right. Well, that's, that's all for this episode. We will be back next week for another episode of Extracted.
