And we are back here for a survivor 51 draft. It's a family reunion. It has been way too long since we've done the draft. And I'm so excited to be back together with everybody to draft 21 players of survivor 51. Let's say hello to the whole draft gang. Of course, taking a little bit of a break from talking about survivors on Big Brother. It's Taren Arstring. Taren, how are you? I'm doing great, Rob. Yes. How are you? Okay. Taren has his crown if you're listening to the audio version. Ready to go. Coming off of a season 50 win in the draft.

3:07We don't need to make a big deal of it. Well, we need to celebrate to some degree. I mean, we do. We should probably celebrate. We should probably. I did have a question for you guys. I just thought like, can we just make my screen a little bigger? Sure. Sure. Yeah. We go full screen. I just wanted to make sure that should I put Aubrey next to Michelle, do you think? Or I was just wondering. Maybe like that because like, you know, I've got. I don't know if we recognize the Michelle draft. It's a long time ago. I don't think any anybody on this call has a name line. I was in the draft. I was in the draft. I mean, it's got. Stop. It's embarrassing. We don't need to be talking about this so much. Okay. I don't want to. I don't want to make this a thing. Dolly noted. Okay. All right. Also here with us tonight, getting ready. It's a big. It's a big week and a big month of the

4:11traders season. It's pleasing. Kelly, how are you? I'm doing good. I did not make a pit stop to Burger King to get a crown to be here. But also excited to be here with you all for a draft number. Well, not number 51, but season 51. Okay. All right. We're so excited. We haven't. I can't even remember the last time I was on a podcast. It might have been the last draft that I got to speak to. Coming to us from science. It's Dr. Leonaboris. Leon, how are you doing? Well, I'm just waiting for my trophy for drafting Joe who finished third place. Both times I drafted him. So I'm hoping to get something for that. But regardless, very happy to be here excited for the new, new, new era. Okay. Also that we celebrate tonight. This is like two birthdays in the class. A survivor 49 win. Since lesson we drafted. It's shepal Shepal. How are you? Wow. I too want something. Oh my god. I should have stopped by Burger King.

5:15This is great. I didn't even know. I was so surprised. Oh, man. It's like I did so poorly in survivor 50, I mean, 50 draft. I think I drafted the grenade. But I think due to a conversation we had about 49, I think I'm in control today. So I just want to hear this talking out with all you. Okay. All right. Stay tuned for that. Of course, joining us personally actually got to meet one of the survivor 51 contestants way back when Asia Welch, Asia. How are you? Hello, I am so excited for us all to be back together. I also didn't get a Burger King crown, but I do have my survivor hat. Oh, so hopefully this brings me all the good luck. And I pick the winner. I pick the runner up. Maybe I even picked the zero vote finalist if there's one. I don't know. I'm just I'm trying to go big this time. I want to win. You know, I've been hanging on to my D win for a while. But it's time to win again. Okay. I feel okay. I didn't bring enough accessories

6:20to this podcast. You never do. Yeah. And my fingers complain. Here with us, of course, enjoying her maternity leave during a long survivor off season. It's Shanagas. Shanagas. How are you? I'm great. I didn't bring any headwear. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. Did you bring that fake Tierra? Are you about that time? Am I the one ushering in this? Because it's really cringe guys. I think you started it. I don't remember that. That's just one of the lines that I don't remember. I'm going to can we. We're not this whole podcast needs to be us just saying. She's held well done on that 49 win. Hey, Savannah. Savannah. Wow. What a pick. And how did you? How could you possibly use? How did you play twice? Two? I mean, look, look at me. My skill. Okay. So we have a lot to get to. We have 21 players to draft. Okay. And so we should

7:21get right into it a quick shout out that we are going to be back on the road. Got a live show coming up. Can you believe it or not? In less than one month, we're headed to Washington, DC for RHAP live tickets are on sale to we have the patron pre sale last week tickets are on sale to the public at robberswebsay.com slash events. And there we're working on a pretty good lineup here for the DC show. So you can go ahead and check out tickets. And then also we will have coming up in later on in season 51. I'm going to be in Charlotte as well tickets are not on sale yet. But when they will be they will be at robberswebsay.com slash events. Okay. First up. Okay. Sam has a bunch of things set up for me. She pal was the winner of season 49. Oh my god. I forgot. So she pal in your honor. We have a message from the winner of season 49. And then we could explain

8:28the law of why we're behind on season 49. Okay. All right. So I think that we need to change to we're going to have to all be get very tiny I think to see to see this video. First here we go. All right. Sam, let's play this message from Savannah. She pal what is up. This is Savannah winner of survivor 49 coming to you who is also in a weird way a winner of survivor 49 because you won the draft. Yes. You picked me and I hear it's because of my strong winner energy that I just exude. It has nothing to do with my season possibly being spoiled on a cruise by someone whose name comes with bam bam. Okay. I know that has nothing to do with why you chose me as the winner of survivor 49. But seriously I appreciate all the love. I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to choose the draft order. But that's okay because when I come back for my third round of survivor and I have my Tony arc and I win my third season.

9:32I know that you are going to choose me as the winner and you're going to be able to choose the draft order then. So anyways sending you so much love. Good luck in season 51. All right. There's Savannah with a very special message to Shepelle. We got some new Lord. I did not know that bam bam was on the cruise run in his mouth. That does not sound like he met all that's what's okay. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Shepelle. The very first pick in the draft and picked Savannah to win the survivor 49 draft. Now we did the survivor 49 draft and then we did the survivor 50 draft. No, I did the 50 draft. 50 and 49. Okay. Sorry. I'm sorry. So the 50 then I'm sorry. I'm like a like the space time continuum's wild. I'm on a BB time trip. Yeah. And to be fair to Shepelle to because we did the survivor 50 draft before they even played it was a little unfair for me just because I'm so good

10:34at drafting. It might have influenced the outcome of the season. I'm going to say that you didn't get bam, bam, spoilers. So we drafted survivor 50 in June of 2025. Right before I think before the game even started or maybe it was within within days. So we did that draft then we kept it recorded. We did it for the patrons and then we put it out to everybody at when survivor 50 was starting. And so then we released that draft and it turns out that the winner of the survivor 50 draft was Terran. And so in order to celebrate Terran's win we have another special message from the winner of survivor 50. Okay. Here's Aubrey with a message for Terran. Hey, what's up? I'm here to wish Terran a very happy survivor 50 one draft best of luck.

11:36Cheers to you. I believe in you Terran. You believed in me and I believe in you. Terran always has like the best taste on people's motivations like their history that drives them for their future. Those like small nuances and inner workings of people. And I think Terran believes in people whenever and else is forgotten about them. So thanks for picking me Terran. And I believe in you that you're going to pick someone for the open era. One suggestion, maybe pick a Scorpio. Got to tell you we've had a good streak lately. Stopped to you. Savannah, Kyle, Aubrey, all Scorpios, three in a row. I pick a Scorpio. I think they're suited to evolve for the open era. Best of luck, Terran. Have fun. Everyone else. Here's to survivor 51. I have no clue what Jeff's got up to sleep. Bye. Okay. There you go. Terran. Oh, nice message. Yes. Very nice message. Will astrological signs. I don't think we know their birthdays. Well, that's way into your

12:37drafting tonight. I don't know their astrological signs, but I did watch their little intros at 2x speed. And I know one of them doesn't like astrology astrology. Astrology. Okay. So I don't know. I always feel like there's there's rarely areas on these shows for some reason. You know, everyone can't be in areas like me. She's Helen Terran, but I don't know. There's something to that. It's weird. Are you guys three of you all areas? We're born to do a part. Yeah. We are all Pisces. Pisces gang. Wow. Okay. What's wrong? Libra balanced it out. Yeah. That sounds about right. Right. Okay. So now that there may be some controversy here, but what I've been told is that Terran is going to select the draft order for survivor 51. And what do I do? You got a cameo from Savannah. You got real place for first pick for a season

13:43where we knew the return ease and one of them was God. Well, fans, where's God was actually God. Hey, hey, he killed that. Okay. Look, not too much. Not too much. But okay. Because it's Terran, I'll go quietly. But if it was one of the rest of these bombs, I would fight. Even me, she fell. Especially you don't be having my back in these drafts. It's time we talk about it. It's time we talk about it. You'll be letting Shannon jump me all the time. You're always between us and you'll never say that. Are you sure? You see how big you guys speak up. Aries gang. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So here we go. Terran, we have three rounds of drafting. The audience, who really made out great in the big brother draft when they got Yash gets nobody today. That's their reward. I think they got somebody. They must have got somebody in the survivor draft. Right? Right. There was seven of us. Yeah. I think they got three people in the survivor

14:4450 draft. Yeah. They did. They did. They had coach. Did they have coach? I feel like they had coach. It's been a year. No. Coach was a hot head. Coach was a trendy. Yeah. I think they had Rizzo. They'd never seen Rizzo. Probably Jonathan. Definitely. I don't think that Jonathan. Yeah. No, Jonathan was picked. Yeah. Okay. They did have coach. Rob that coach. Really. Mm-hmm. Wow. They did not have Rizzo. That was Mike Blue's winner pick. Well, it was a whole thing. People were like what because the draft released like you. Oh, you know, like they took my phone to talk to the people and then there was like, I love coach. You didn't know. You didn't know what you mean. Yeah. Which again. I also scared the wind. The season was spoiled because everyone was like, these idiots didn't pick coach. They don't pick coach. Why didn't they pick coach? Okay. Crazy. All right. So, Teran. Rob in this draft is Rob in this? Yes. Well, that really just to make the math work. This is probably why they did the open era.

15:48It's probably why. Yeah. Just for us. And that's so nice. Yes. Okay. So, Teran, do you have a draft order to share with everyone? I'm very democratic with my draft order. I mean, first of all, democratic in the sense that I am the Supreme Leader. I go first. But then, Chappelle, you were actually so kind earlier. You know how to play this game. Chappelle, where would you like to go? I would like to go second, please. Chappelle can go second. This is not a Burger King crown. It cost me $10 on Amazon. How dare you? I have one is also. I have the same one. Because you just get all crowns and come back. Sorry. I didn't get a crown to wear it. Rob, I believe you are kind to me in the previous draft order that you chose. What would you like to go? How about fourth? Fourth it is. Shannon, how about you? I'll go third.

16:50I'll go third. Leana. Sixth. Asia? All that's left is fifth, right? We're seven. You could do it, Shannon. You know, I just want to say real quick, I started the Burger King thing then three other people sitting also. So everyone was to play. You just gave us our lines. I hold a cringe, but I was more of a self-hearing. I mean, looking at three bottom people, here on this list, I don't know, maybe they all talked about Burger King. I should go to entice you with a cat, and that didn't even work. No, it's a big hat too. I mentioned Joe Hunter, so I understand why I'm here. All right, so is this official? I think this is the list. Okay. This feels Leana. This feels right. It's a weird preseason. We are going off of, we have less information than we've ever had before

17:52in terms of we have some cast photos. We have bios. Mike Bloom asked them a question. They have about two and a half minutes of video each upon Paramount Plus. Yes, see, I heard that there was like no interviews at all. And so I was like, oh, sick. This is going to be the easiest prep. And then right before this podcast, I was like, wait, there are whole bio. Yes. Yeah, there weren't like mics interviews, but there were bios. It's a usual amount that you usually have that you usually look at. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So there are, don't worry, there are pet peeves. Yes. That is one of the questions. But I have not ranked the pet peeves. I'm just going to be reacting to them in real time this time around. What I did do was I watched those little intro videos to get a vibe. Okay. So that goes to say that really we're going off of vibes mostly.

18:58So there's not a, so this is maybe a real great exercise to determine who's the best after because there's so little information. That's probably the worst exercise. I think this is just well, probably if we knew someone was a different muscle than going through all of the interviews and analyzing what everybody said. It's kind of like forcing everyone to use my secret tactic. Okay. All right. Well, Taryn, the pick is yours. You can kick off the survivor 51 open era with pick number one. All right. My pick number one is a vibes pick. I went through those videos and there was one vibe that stood out amongst the vibes and that was Devon. Okay. That makes so much sense. Right. I thought he had the best interviewer. He seemed very, very viby. Okay. Let's see. Here is Devon Wei. Yes. His pet peeve is people who look down on others or treat people less than.

20:05So luckily he's going to love me. And I genuinely, I just thought that he seemed so charismatic. He seemed very like confident. I think that he was granted these are small videos, but he seems so personal that it could make him a target. But I think that like in a cast full of what seems to be like big personalities, at least from the little we saw, I really like how sort of downed earth he felt, how sort of easy to get along. He seemed. He cares about loyalty and honesty. He cares about playing the game well. He plays dungeons and dragons. So he's got that little bit of like, you know, nerdyness there, which I like, especially on survivor. So yeah, I just stood out. I like the vibe. I recognize him right away from Grey's Anatomy. Oh, yeah. Like to me, he's a recognizable actor.

21:09Like if I were on that island and he walked, I would be like, what the heck are you doing here? Yeah, I knew he appeared on the show. I didn't know he was a recognizable character. Yeah, he had a good season run. And it was like, you know, in Grey's, they really do hone in on like the drama. And so he had a couple of story lines, for sure. I definitely knew who he was when I saw him. And a cog, go through a diner or something. And that's what I just heard on the podcast with Mike, because with Mike said, right? I mean, I just will. Grey's, but yeah, he was definitely, he wasn't queer as folk also. That's what I knew him from. I'd say him. Yeah. And he also was on station 19. And I'm one of the 10 people that watch that. I thought he definitely had the best video. I totally agree with Tara. And like at first, I was, I felt most conflicted about him, because at first, unlike the bare bones, I didn't feel that great about him. He seemed like a newer fan. He said he was like a cross between, I think, Devon's and Joe. And all the way to the

22:09little hunter at the Joe pick. Yeah. And well, but you know, I remember like Joe was like, I rewatched it, but not the camp parts. And we wanted to have that would go. And while I do love Joe, it turns out not that well. I kind of was getting that vibe from Devon. But then when I saw the video, I was like, he is the sparklyest. Like it did stand out in those videos. And then you get to those extra details like how he's a gamer. Like he has such a positivity about him. People will really like it. Maybe, maybe too much. Like he could be a definite merge boot conventionally. But I totally get on pure sparkle. All right. The Devon pick. Yeah. He does run some type of live reality game in person. I'm not sure if it's a for charity. I don't remember. But he does the thing where I think that he gets people together to play like survivor games in person. Everything you guys are saying makes me feel better and better about him. Instagram. He did call himself a Devon's and Joe Hunter love child. So it's very interesting for that to be. I just don't know. Because is that like what

23:10he felt before going in or after he played. I think like, well, it's in his bio. So I think he at least said that before he played. But you definitely get that energy, that charisma that comes from him. There were just those few moments when I was reading his bio about like loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, jojo, jojo, jojo, little star. But I think in terms of like the charisma. And I totally agree with Shannon about the sparkliness. Like he just has that kind of energy. And I think people are hopefully naturally going to gravitate towards him. Okay. Yeah. The loyalty thing that was that was a concern. But it's like this guy. He's more of a gamer than you think. So maybe they'll beat it out again. I had him pretty high on my draft board until Mike revealed to me in his in his little video he did with you Rob that this guy is very tall. And I think the energy that he's trying to exude is supposed to be somebody like, you know, there's going to be larger than life. But also to be larger than everyone else, you know, I think it's going to make him stand out so much. What is that just thing? Well, I mean, taller than everybody else on the cast. It looks like just by

24:13the group photo I saw. And so just in general, I mean, Mike says very tall. So he's not, you know, he doesn't have to talk Mike's one giant. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Shorten. So anyway. Oh, you know, that chaotic energy is fun when you can like hide it and do chaotic things and then lay low. I don't think he can lay low. I think he's too sparkly. I think he's so sparkly. Everybody's going to be looking at him. I think he's he's like, he knows how to own the camera. That's why his video was so good. So I just I'm concerned about his target being there being after a while. The is a sparkle line where it gets too much. I call it the Caleb line. Where it's like, obviously, he's over the cable line. People feel about it. I think it's at the cable line. That is high praise. We'll have to see if you don't know how they feel about each other because they didn't get to be interviewed. But that's always a concern. Asia, how did he do on station 19? Did he win? It's a firefighter show. Oh, did he do it? I knew it was a reality show, but I thought I was fired then, right?

25:19Yeah. Terry, what was the like a post-apocalyptic show that was a that not that station 11? I think that was. Oh, yeah. No station 19 is a grazenatomy spin-off of the local fire fire station in Seattle. Oh, wait. So for all this time, we've been we've learned firefighters are good at fire making and acting because they know fire, but are actors who play firefighters as you mean he was a firefighter. Can they also make that jump to being good at fire making because they also know it's a lot. I would trust no. Wiley as my doctor. I would do you shouldn't. Yeah, he wasn't a firefighter though. What did he play in the firefighting show? What was it EMT on there if I'm not mistaken? What was his role? Yeah, I can't remember exactly. I just remember that face. Okay. I got rid of my IVV page to search his height. So Dr. Blake Sims. Dr. He was in a firefighter. Okay. Did he get by a car in a diner anyway?

26:23There's there's Devon way we'll see if he leads the way to the victory for Taran once again. Okay, let's go to Sheppell. Okay, Sheppell, pick number two is yours. Yes. And I think I'm going to go with the men in the Brandon Donlin shirt. I'm going with Daniel Kilby. Kilby. As my pick, yes. From what I can tell based on what Mike was saying and basically what the streets are saying is this man is a survivor super fan. I believe he has a podcast about survivor. And you know, sometimes when you podcast about these shows you go in and you do pretty well. I mean, we see what's going on in the brother house. People are still there. So that's positive. And sometimes when you don't, you know, it varies. Sometimes you're robbed. Sometimes you're robbed and people should have got this qualified for voting you out. But that's not the hit nor there. Daniel Kilby, this guy seems cool. He seems like a fun time. He looks like he's very energetic. He talks

27:28about chaotic energy. But I think he's he can hide a little bit better than somebody like Devon. I think he's going to understand the strategy with this open era being whatever the hell it is. Did he play sequester? Isn't that basically just an open era of life? And so yeah, as far as I'm concerned, he's got the most practice doing this kind of stuff. I think he was on season two of the in person sequester. Okay. Yeah. I think he didn't get beat by Kim, Kim Matino's. Yes. Don DeFans. So based on that alone, I have to draft this man. I have to get him before Puyade. Because you know, Puyade, I love to Kim Matino every time. Yeah. He was going to make it out of the first round. Let me see if put it that way. Yeah. I don't think he was going to make it the seventh. I'll be honest. Yeah. All right. Well, here's Kilby. Obviously he knows his stuff and is going to be somebody who I think is going to have a really good social game and also combine that with a really strong knowledge of the game. I think that the fear here could be that he goes way too hard,

28:31too fast, as way too excited to be there. But I think he's played enough of these games that I think he has a good sense of what to do. And he's from Canadia. They do well in this game often. You know, ever since they let them in, they just run the game a lot of times. You know, so I thought that was a good sign. Good omen. And I think the fact that he's 30. And like he reads younger than 30. And I think that'll actually be a good thing for him. Because like I think he could be, you know, have that life experience for a 30 year old, not that 30 is old. But I think he could blend in with the younger the early 20s. It's interesting him being involved like so much in game design and like sort of being so strategic coded. I'm just I almost feel like this could go one of two ways in the open era. Like it's either he's super prepared. He can handle any twists that's being thrown at him or it's just so stochastic that he's like, but wait. When you just kind of have this like shut down because you're like, well, nothing makes sense to me.

29:32So I'm in the the prior camp. I think that I'm more optimistic about him. I love that he's so strategic coded. I'm just very curious to see what the open era has in store and how him specifically is a game designer approaches that. I think for me, this archetype like usually tends to the ladder. Like some do well and many like have a panic attack on day one because they care so much about this and then even go on to do well. Like yeah, I was Andy. He did both things. But I think my concern is like we always draw these archetypes super, super high because most people like know them in person. Like the first. Exactly. And that's exactly my point is like from experience when you care too much about something, I appreciate that in someone. But it's hard next to someone who maybe just learned to show me no one. But does he know they're so well that he knows that also Shannon. You can't control how much you care and like you go into it and you're just so in your own head and we see it happen all the time with people. We will go on to podcast with in the future. I'm sure.

30:33You know, we will become friends with all our already friends with all who maintain that. I'm sure. But I didn't I knew he wouldn't get to me. No matter where I was in the draft order, but I also didn't really want to touch the hot stove of that much passion for this because I just seem to go that other way. I think Shepel has been the person to me who introduced this philosophy into the draft, which is pick the team you want to root for. And I think he's a great person to have on your team for that reason. I like the thing I liked about him is who he would like to be aligned with is someone who likes to have fun. And I think that that is absolutely the type of person he needs because all that passion can bounce off of someone else who's just as excited to be there and it will center him. I think if he's aligned with someone who's trying to be more low key or quieter, someone to talk as much. I think that's when someone like this can get wound up and like an energizer bunny just zoom through the game really needing someone to attach to. If he has that person early doors, I don't think we need to worry about that. You know, my first victory here on the draft was Mary Ann and you know, she isn't energizer bunny.

31:37Survivor and so she found Omar and they took it and she what and Shannon didn't draft her. So, you know, maybe this is the only one. He has that archetype there, but Omar is a good version of that archetype to be fair. He has an interesting combination of pet peeves because I usually am not fond when you say, you know, people who I like, I like when people. And he has when people say an obvious thing, but act like it's brilliant. So again, that's probably us, podcasters. When people tell you wrestling is fake, so he knows to say when people, but he then also has two kinds of people. He is very specifically then doesn't like rich people who want to act like they've had a hard life and complainers. Why can't we just make the most of it? So I mean, I got to say, we're we're we definitely we cover at least two of these, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to get out the doghouse. I had to draft them. So, you know, maybe he'll hold me in higher regard than he

32:40holds the rest of y'all because he hates y'all. We complain about obvious things a lot and act like it's brilliant. Oh, yeah. Sometimes it is. Anything else on kill be before we move on to Shannon? Nope. Okay. All right. Pick number three. Most likely to be an RHA P guest. And what about it? Very boring. Yeah.

All right, Shannon, you have the third pick. You control the board. Yeah,

34:43so hard to do my regular pre-season research given the big change in my life, lack of pre-season interviews. So I had to look for other things. Signs from the universe. There's someone on this cost whose name is Angelica and goes by jelly. That's my cat's name. That's my cat's name. And nickname. What are the odds of that? So the second I heard that, I was like, she's my winner pick. I hope she's good. And then I think she was pretty good, which didn't matter, because I already picked her. But that is my cat's name. Angelica jelly. I've met message you my immediately. I was like, that's it. Okay. Yeah. Did you like the person jelly? The one with my cat's name. Yeah, George, like she's great. I mean, she has my cat's name. And she's associated with you, professor. Yes. Shannon, I would like to correct that your cat has her name, because she is older than your cat. You don't know how my cat is.

35:50That would be amazing. And hopefully we get that. But true. I mean, I didn't name my cat for her. But if she's great, I could work it into the name. I don't know. But yeah, my cat has her name. Either way. And she honestly also seems great. Like I think just like on Statsalone, really so much of it is about the name. I'm going to try though. She seems very self-aware to me. Like she was able to point out her own flaws, which maybe seems like a bad thing. But I think someone who can say, I'm going to be like, Shannon for better or worse. Because it's someone who knows themselves, knows how people might perceive them, and then could counteract it. Obviously, if you're a professor of sociology, that's great for survivor. That's what survivor is. You must be intelligent. And she has my cat's name. Tick tick tick. That's my going to pick. I love the pick. She was definitely on my short list. I really liked her energy. I did even like that when she was in her intro video, when she was naming all the things that she's playing,

36:54that she wants to get out of survivor, like learning her weaknesses, learning all these things about herself. I'm like, yes. That like she's going to enjoy not only just chasing the wind, but enjoying the day to day, which I feel like is a lot more fulfilling. Yes, a million dollars is great. But I feel like because it's not going to be like that or bust, she couldn't end up doing really well. Yeah. I like that she described herself as curious. And I love that because I think especially when you're getting to know people, like being curious about people's lives and wanting to learn about them and learn and make those connections. Her study of people, I think that that all bodes well for her. And then just, yeah, just kind of generally her energy. We love a fellow PhD. So let's go jelly a K a Shannon's cat. So I'm I love the pick. And I'm excited for her. I'm dying to hear what she's teaching the class about survivor. What to ask. We're waiting. Yeah. Again, like a great history for survivor professors.

37:58But she could change it. My class name isn't Matt. So yeah, that are dog names. She did say that she can't stand overly boastful people, people who brag about themselves all day every day. So I feel like I'm hitting a good three for three. I think they're all going to love me this season. Dan's favorite. Dan Armstrong. Yeah. She was also the most comedic mascot at mascot camp. Yeah, we got we got we're the bear. Yeah. Yeah, we're costing over what mascot camp is hold on. I am read a J masses book. Yes. It's hot in here. And it is all about mascots in mascot camp. And I know he's somewhere just jumping for joy that one of his own got on here, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know about whether the bear though. Probably physically tie us them. Like that you would have to. Yes. It's good. That's like different, different elements, but that is the like facing the elements. You could be a master of just mascots. All mascots. I'm

39:05yeah. But in costume, it's like a furry adjacent season of survivor. Because you know, there's the big brother community got got them all locked here and I know you got the you know. Maybe Pooja, it's like a mass singer situation where then you get voted out of the you take the mask off. Yeah. Take it. Take the head off. There's like, we would get at least three people met a vac in the first challenge because they have to get first into the survivor. It's survivor all stars, but you're not limited by your reputation because you're in the mask. We're cooking. I love that. All right. Dexy Weasel. Take your mask off. Yes. Survivor. Yeah. I'm not being an email from the big brother folks, but I am okay. All right. Anything else on jelly? She seems I dope. Yeah. And I think someone that calls himself

40:07multifaceted and then has the bio she had. She like Shannon said knows who she is. And I really think that's going to be good for her. She performed very well on Isla look also. I will add. Oh. It's a little bit of a fire. I've been seeing the clips right. But Bryce was in rare form. He was on one. Yeah. All right. The survivors of our gods were like, you are so bad at drafting. Let me literally give you your cap. Okay. All right. I am up. It's pick number four. And I'm going to go with a woman who's an entrepreneur. Mike Bloom did a lot of research. So freaky into her business profile. It sounded like she is going to be somebody to watch.

41:08I'm going to go with. Give me Lenea. Rob, you're so freaky. Why are you so freaky? Why do you know so much about this? You said you don't know these people, but you're your best friend. You're a busy minute on her job and her business. You're the best friend. Mike you think I can join everything Mike does? You're talking to me like it's me. Mike did this. Not me. Rob drafting her. You got to have what? Yeah. Rob. Yeah. She the one that like sold lingerie. Is that what's going on? Yeah. Yeah. That's where it started. Yeah. The lingerie is the PG version. Yes. Yeah. I went into the store. Now I think that this is a great profile. I've said this a couple times, but you know, watching the big brother commercials. My wife said, is a man to Kimmel back this season? No. It's. Can you enlarge the bottle? Mike said he didn't see it, but I saw on a commercial. It did look like a man did a little bit. Can you make it bigger? Yeah. And hands. And hands and hands and hands. Yeah. So she's 25. She has a business franchise. I think

42:10that she's athletic. I think that she's got a good social game. I think that she also did she play rugby? She said she heard herself playing rugby. Yeah. Well, that's not good. That's that good. She's not been. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. She heard herself, but she's she's tough. I think she said it was recent. Mm-hmm. I don't think she's coming into the game with an injury. I don't think so. I'm not coming into the cast. And why mention it? She's one of those checklist things. Yeah. Every one's on the line. What do you mean? I broke my little seat and playing T-Ball on the fifth grade, but I'm not going to say that in some sort of two-minute bio. Sometimes you're about old injuries. I thought she was playing injured. No, she's not playing injured. She's not playing injured. T-Ball. Yeah. I wasn't working my first and last day. Are you concerned that she's going to laugh after she blindsides somebody? She says she's a laughing problem. She laughs at funerals. Yeah. What's the worst that would happen if you like it? The worst of you left before

43:15the blindside. She said, but I mean, what if she does? Yeah. She said uncontrollable laughing fish then lasts for minutes at a time, Rob. Yeah. Minutes. Listen. If she knows she shouldn't, it makes her laugh. Oh gosh. I think I have to wait. I think she's going to be able to control herself here on survivor. And Eileen, yeah. Her safe, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Business owners do very well on survivor. When I talked to Rob's fact checker, that's the best profession. I don't know if it's specifically this business. This film has 24 pages of products. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if she's that. Somebody, I listen. I feel like I'm going to represent the out-of-the-loop listener here. What is the business? Her and her brother on a six store. A chain of them. A chain. I think that's more of them. So here's what's about this. So here's where Linnea, I'm sure, is going to be able to work with people.

44:17They might be uncomfortable. They come to her. And she's talking them through a situation. Yes. And she has to be like a level of a bedside manner to be in her line of work. There has to be a comfort level with her. And she has to disarm people. Yeah. Shannon's always talking about the sparkly people. I think her business is called afterglow. So yeah, afterglow. I actually think I didn't mean that. And I would say, which is two is a sparkly person. I really didn't. That's a glowing person. That's not what the glow will sparkle. That's a glow to which you are. You were in something I was quite proud of. Um, we can know who you are. Speaking of afterglow, my blue, Shannon, what are you doing? He went, he did research. She asked the employees about their boss.

45:20I just want to say like usually they fly my to feed you. And then poor Mike had to pay his own money. That's the good about him. And his time on Shannon. It's in his town. Yeah. Mike's a freak by the way. But enough. Why are you? Why are the buttons hanging loose? The buttons are on button. You're the whole thing. What's the right photo? I mean, why is he so happy? So happy for you to why he is. He's like, I just found the winner. Draft this person. Are you going to, are you are going to do the, the what prices this game on the B&B? Yeah. It's an awesome product. Yeah. It's an awesome survival. That's good too. Every one of the good pet peeves. This is, she's the one that said when people ask me about my zodiac sign. So she's not fond of that. And then, and actually also when people exclude others in a conversation, like standing in a circle, they don't make everyone feel a part of the circle. She wants a really good pet peeve.

46:21Yeah. I like that. Yeah. So as mentioned, she hates your astrology stuff. Like I really respect her commitment to just like, hey, she would have hated the cameos from Aubrey earlier in this podcast. I think Kristen talked about astrology in her bio. I'm excited to see how that conversation goes. Uh-huh. She's not, she's not about it. And I'm quite respected. Okay. That was to comment on her physical ability. She also does lagre, which is super, super tough. It's like hardcore Pilates, like some learned solid core. It's like really into, it's awful. And so she's a real one for doing that. So I think she's going to be a really strong physical competitor. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I heard nothing about bad things. Okay. There is Linnea. Okay. All right. Thank you, Lue. I want to, I want to drop that foot of mine. Okay. Let's go to Asia, who has the fifth pick in this draft. Woo. All right. I was really nervous that y'all were going to take my pick,

47:22but y'all did not. So I'm very glad about it. So for my number one pick, I'm going to pick somebody who is my age. Yes. I really liked her energy and her intro video. Shoranda. I knew it, Liana. I knew it. Fine, Asia. Fine. Okay. Bring up Shoranda. All right, Asia, tell us. What do you like about Shoranda? So she's in OBGYN. She's married. She's always been doing stuff in her life for other people. She's finally doing something for her. This is for her. I do know through social media that she is a WNBA fan as well. So that, I mean, already so many points in my book. I don't know. I just feel like her energy is very like approachable and warm. And I just see her really thriving socially.

48:25And I don't know. I just, I felt nothing but good vibes. Yeah, I liked her as well. She relates to Sari. So we love that for her. I also like the fact that she mentioned her bio that adaptability is something that she truly values because I think that, again, thinking about the open era and just a lot of stuff being thrown at you, being able to be adaptable, being able to adapt to change plans on the fly, I think is going to be extra important. So I love the pic Asia. Is she super low key? I felt like like very, she was another person. And I agree. I think that like if this is kind of a boisterous cast, I think that having that kind of low key easy to get along with energy can be really useful. She does have a very generic peppy, the loud chauvers like come on, we can do better. It's a lot of that. Yeah. But we're going to connect over that, I think, because a lot of people had it was crazy. Yeah, she's a real doctor, not like a fake active doctor that's not going to be going to with your medical needs.

49:25It's not right. Must be intelligent. You're telling me, and while you showed up as your doctor, you'd be like, no thanks. Yeah, no, I wouldn't let him deliver my baby. I wouldn't. I'd go with Shoronda. She went to study for many, many years decades, I'm sure. She, um, yeah, she seems really well. No, while he played the doctor for at least 30 years. Yeah, and Shannon, I don't think that that is his specialty of what he, like, that's a different, that's a different practice. Yeah, that's the problem. Emergency doctor. Did she say he'd go with you, I end. Yeah, did she say any bio? Did she got shot? You should go to know a while. No, I wouldn't. Would it? Did she say any bios that she's going to hide her occupation? I didn't see that. I don't really hope she does it because I feel like when you do, you, that you kind of cut off that part of your life, especially if being a doctor, like, she probably spend so many hours being a doctor.

50:26It's been a minute since I have doctors hidden that they are doctors that, in survivor Nicaragua, Dr. Jill said she was a nurse, but I think it's very rare that people hide that they're doctors. Yeah, I bet. The two often. I hope she doesn't. I think it's very interesting. It makes you way too smart. Make too much money. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, and then you don't meet the ones. Yeah, that she don't need the million. She was also first chair in an orchestra. She played violin at Disney, she says. Yeah, what's that? I want to hear about that. Right. Wait, what part of what part of that is the what's that? Like the violin or the Disney Land in the orchestra? Like for what, for like the parades? I played trombone and Disney. What? I did. I have photos. For what? And right now. Damn. Okay, the photos. It is just my blue and Disney. I like her hobby.

51:27She likes fishing. And I'm hoping that she's like a secret provider. You know, when going gets tough, she goes out there and gets the fish and everybody's like, oh, she's a badass. I got to, I got to what that moment for her. Yeah, she talked about how she was doing this for other people. And then she ended up saying, no, I'm doing it for me. Doing it for Shoranda. Finally. I don't love that. I don't love that. Love that for her. No, I mean, I get it as a sentiment, but I feel like it's a bit tired as like a statement. And she felt so genuine in her intro video. Like I felt like, you know, when you, you know, we've seen the big brother, like the big brother people, they're just, she's just very calm. Take me, take me as I am. I'll add him next time. She just felt very genuine. So I feel like I'm going to really look forward to, like you brought up Puyo with Shepel. Like I'm really looking forward to rooting for her. Taren, do we know what grew and alternate for survivor 51?

52:29I don't think so. Do we know for sure we have to ask him? I think he was, he like almost made it on the Willy Wonka show. Yes, I think every single show I think he was in the mix. He'll be on 99 to beat for the end of the year for sure. I asked him like before the end of the year and the floor. But by the December, he's on 99 to beat for sure. Okay, he'll make it up to Kabytrap. I'm there. Sure. All right. The chat is indicating that a lot of people play musical instruments at Disney. It's not that hard, Jenny. Oh, I didn't have, I don't have Disneyland in my country. Breaking news. I thought like that was really cool. So, yeah, I guess it's not that cool. Okay, there's Shuranda, pick number five. Okay, Leana, you are up with pick number six. Yep. All right. I am going with someone who the reason they stood out to me was because of their profession. So, I am going with Eric. Also, we love this. Little intro photo. Do we?

53:29No. But another RHA pit. Yes. It's always my favorite in the big. Yes. Yes. All right, let's go. Okay, so I love the fact that he is 34 years old, a mental health counselor. Obviously, I got a few hesitations about him given the fact that his advice from his fiance or wife was basically like stop talking. So, I'm hoping that he's able to do that. But he does seem like a super fan. He's the only one I've seen post on social media. So that also helped. What is he posting? Like watch the season? Yeah, it was just like, hey, I'm excited. Watch me do this. All season long. But no, I think he's someone who's passionate. I think he has a lot of empathy. I think it was something that Mike brought up, like a concern about. Is he going to be able to cut people? Like, is he too empathetic? But I'm hoping that sort of the super fan in him helps him overcome that. And he just, he like thinks that survivor is, I think, celebrating the ultimate human experience

54:30or something like that. I really love that energy. So I'm hoping that he comes into the game again, similar to, you know, not necessarily needing to like, I have to have to have to win this and hold on to that from a super fan perspective. But more about, I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to go through the journey. Leana, I am so jealous of this pic. I had never seen this picture before. But the moment I saw it, this is inspiring. I'm sorry. It's the, it's the lead. It's the way. Yes. It's so good. I don't know. Yes. That's so good. That's such a good picture, man. It's just iconic. I really like Eric a lot. He's a huge survivor fan. He's a theater nerd. He loves cats. People tell him to stop talking. I have a kinship with Eric. So I really, really enjoy him. I hope he does well. I would have also taken him as a high pick. So I think this is a very good pic. Yeah, I liked Eric a lot. Also, he said he wants to play like Dom Abate. But I think that he also was going to lean on his conflict management skill.

55:31Bryce told the story about how he's resolved some conflicts in person between Bryce and when. What? I love it. Yeah. To himself. When they have conflict around me, I should let them fight. No, he's resolving it. No, okay, Eric. No, you lost some points there. Let them fight. I think he's on to something with the season 50 fun. I think I have to really take off. Yeah. That actually. What was so mean about that? Nashed me down a love. I'm with Aaron and I didn't like it. I didn't like it. I was like, no, because I was born watching him. I was like, he seems. Smart. I like his occupation. I feel like he could be really good. But does he talk too much? He seems like a big personality. I was sort of trying to figure out where along that line, I thought what I would put him. And then he said, Survivor 50 fun. And I was like, oh, no. Yeah. Oh, that was a lot of 50 fun. I don't like it. I hate when the cast like their season too much. Like 47.

56:31Asia. It was in 2030. You know what I mean? He's 30. 30. It's too much. This might be. You're getting through the live of 50 puns. Then Survivor 50 pun. I mean, Oh, that kind of right there. Yeah. Yeah, this might be the world cup in me and the amount of world collapsing. He does have a striking resemblance to Lionel Messi and I can't unsee it either. So Is that a design? I mean, I must have considered one of the best to ever do it. So I mean, like in your draft opinion, not like he's going to be clinical like that. It doesn't feel like that's going to be the case. This pose is killing me. It's so good. I'll do it. Let's talk to it. People are talking about the legs. Not enough. People are talking about the legs. It's the slide. Yeah. It's so good. It's so good. The whole thing. It's amazing. I can never have gone. All the pod jasters lined up in a road doing this.

57:33I'm him for Halloween. Yeah. We all know Halloween. That shirt has to be easy to find. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's pet peeve. People with low emotional intelligence slash maturity. Yeah. Okay. She's a little too serious for a pet peeve in my opinion, which is funny because one of his next one is people who take themselves too seriously. Okay. So so he can't be fun enough to do survive a 50 fun but then the pet peeve is too serious. He's doing it all. Tired. Well, he's got a big lane. I'm on the floor. I do think he is going to be a very fun character and I think he could be surprisingly maybe not surprising. I think he could be very effective. But I think I think, you know, I'm going to be very interested to watch him. Okay. All right. Leana has made her pick. And now it's time for Pooja. It's a pick two in a row. Yes, Rob. Thank you for that segue. And also, Asia, when you said my pick is still here, I at least had the solace of knowing that I had between

58:36fifth and seventh once it was left to the two of us and Rob took my pick. So I had the thought of knowing that I was going to be picking a new regardless. So I've been looking. I've been kind of, you know, doing a little look see here. I have two picks sorted. My first pick, I'm going to give this person the first pick distinction because what do you mean I was about to miss out on an Iranian on the cast? I was very surprised. Alexis is on team Pooja. Yes, Shannon, tell me why I'm so good at this. Yeah. I mean, you didn't, you don't know Alexis. You just find this out today. That's why I'm so excited. Sorry, no one's named after my cat on this cast. What do you want from me? I had to go a different direction. Well, if she wasn't named after, like the issue was that she wasn't named after my cat. If not for that, she probably would have been my winner pick. She's great. She's got cheese. I hear. Oh, damn it. Anyway, I come back to me. Something that sticks out to me and will for many years to come now.

59:38If you identify with Kyle Frazier a lot, I will be looking into you and kind of studying the tape there. The man said, good at not good at many things average at all of them. And honestly, I love that. So if you think you can have a little bit of Kyle, mix them with a bit of Rachel, there's no reason why I shouldn't consider you personally to winners. Pet peeve, people who are ruled by their emotions and misogyny. Yeah, knock it off. Do we don't like misogyny? Which is like misogyny, the other pet peeve, or is she saying people who are ruled by their emotions and misogyny together? Oh, they're ruled by, oh, oh, yeah. Right? Ruled by misogyny is bad. So I argue that that's the definition of misogyny. I kind of like it. I kind of like it, especially if it's combined. We got deep, we're getting deep on this part. Yeah, she is. Alexis, she has, I thought a really cool story with her sobriety journey.

1:00:38She also has a young daughter. So I identified with her, but who you didn't care about that. When it took her from me, she is a lawyer. So she's, I'm sure she seems really intelligent. And also, she is going to hide it though. I think she wants to be a secret lawyer, which I don't love, but it's just like you take it off the bingo part at this point. So yeah. I was very high on Alexis and was looking at her on my draft board. Asia, something that gave me pause is, could she get tagged as a genitive? She's, that's exactly who I thought of when I was watching her intro video. Also a secret lawyer. Yes. So I thought it was, yes, I do think so, but I think it, it's very interesting to see. I can't really assess how she's going to be socially. Like we see, you know, we see her vibe. We see how, you know, she has this self-awareness about herself.

1:01:39She's gone through things and grown from them, but I just don't know how she's, because we don't know, we don't know the tribes, right? We don't know the tribes. That was nothing. Like just don't know who, like, oh, she'd hit it off with her. She'll hit it off with him. But it's also hard to know with like the perceptions of people, because they left during survivor 50, so that they saw a different side of Geniveven survivor 50. So I don't know if necessarily it could be like they could remind her of Geniveven and it's a positive. Very, very true. Very true. What did Bryce think about the thumbs, Rob? He was very down on that. You're a fellow double thumbs though. You're a fellow double thumbs. It was a gift to the... That was barely in the picture. We caught it. He, that Bryce was very disappointed. This was like horizontal thumbs out. That you did this even in a very bad angle for thumbs. It's all thumbs.

1:02:39Yeah, all thumbs know what it fingers. Yeah. It's just like coming off that hand, the praying hand, it's just hard to follow that up. I'm sorry, it is. It's like... All hands to no hands. You know, to end this pick before I segue into the next one, it is very funny to me that Shannon didn't like that I took her pick, didn't like the puns, yet she's the one that's jelly of my pick. Did you like the pun? Not jammed. Not totally figuratively, I hope. Yeah. Nordstrom Rack is celebrating 125 years of Nordstrom with 125 with the best deals up to 65% off.

Puyah, it's the time for round two. Okay, round two, we're here, no electric boogaloo, all me. I, the next pick I'm picking, honestly, at this point, I'm about to have a team I'm very much rooting for. Okay. Having admittedly not seen the video, so I don't know how anyone translates over on the pages. I see she's probably being very worried. She probably really hope I don't make your pick. I really hope your pick stays on the board. Me too. What if your pick is Lewis Kelly, that is ending right now.

1:05:45I'm picking Lewis. I think his pick was Lewis. But I don't, it wasn't but I don't hate the pick. So yeah, do you think? Okay. Okay, once again, I just feel like the words bounced off the page. Lewis is going to be a lot of fun. I'm here for that. Lewis is excited to be in a game about lying. I'm here for that. And Lewis identifies with Venus, another Persian. This might be like my like slumdog millionaire moment where any trace of Persian gets me my third win. Who knows? I'm here for it. Only you could say that. He really? That I did. Yeah, I was telling you that Lewis also was the other big winner of Isolalok. Yeah, he really did. Obviously. Obviously. Look at this man. Did Mike go to the farm? What did Mike do? Did he, did he travel? No, but I think he looked into Lewis's content. Lewis has millions of followers and subscribers. I want to say on Instagram. Instagram is the thing that's good things about Lewis.

1:06:47Yeah, I mean, his wife have a lot of stuff going on. He says 70 million tick-tock followers. Yeah, it's something like that. Like saying, millions. That's crazy. That's like how many viewers survivor has? Why are they calling him baby Tarenema? And then what? His name is Farms Strong. You know, that's his difference. Bryce thought that Lewis's image was that of a baby Taren. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But that's the thing. I don't see the reason why I couldn't drive Lewis. It's because he didn't come here to play survivor. He came here to serve looks. He came here to eat. Look at him. Look at him. He came here with the express like, you know, when you prepping for his survivor, he was like, what am I going to wear on the jury? These are things that I would be thinking. You know what I'm saying? And so he popped out in this. Yeah, I don't trust it. What did you say? That was my M.O. as a baby serving. Yeah. Yeah. Serve me. I can do what serve, especially on age. But yeah, Lewis, I just feel like he's here for the wrong reasons.

1:07:47He's going to get these looks off. He's going to get a million more followers. But I don't know if he has the survivor takes it I was looking for. Yeah, I went a million hearts. He's going to win more than a million hearts. I think he's going to be very fun in the season. I don't see him as the winner of the season, but I think he's going to add a lot to the season. Yeah, I really liked his vibe. He was one of my top vibe picks, but he said he wasn't a fan of the show, I think. So that was like, well, we've all said things. Yeah, he came here to serve. He did not come here to play survivor. He has a lot of people who recognize him. But his favorite hobby is lying, which is fun. He just used me to, yeah. Like not just in the game, but in life. Lying as a hobby is wild. That's crazy. Yeah, I mean, he's definitely like chaotic, right? Impulsive. Yes. Lying. He wants a Alliance partner who's also really chaotic, which again, in the open era could go well for him.

1:08:50But I think my concern is that too much chaos might be too much of a good thing. So I would be concerned for him. But I agree. I think he's going to be a really, really fun character to watch. And maybe in the era of permanent uncertainty, maybe you just need to be super chaotic. Exactly. Roll with the punches. I felt like the chaos part was concerning. The lack of knowing the show possibly was concerning. The possibility that he might stand out as someone who could be like, hey, aren't you that guy on TikTok that I sometimes see? And then spread that was a little bit concerning. I didn't love that he said he would be a better cooler type than like, we have a cool. I think that's funny. Tyson at home. I guess it's something Tyson might say like for someone else. So I guess that kind of fits. But look, Lewis has millions and millions of followers. So in the interest of that, I think he's wonderful. And I think he's going to do really, really well. Okay. Jason. All right. Anything else on Lewis? Were you about to see something? I feel like Asia was about the same.

1:09:50It was the same. I was going to say like on the Tyson note, I'd love to hear what he has to say about. I don't think he's going to, I don't know if he knows this yet, but he's not going to like that. He will not appreciate that. All right. Maybe Tyson maybe. Leana. You have your second pick coming up. No more hands. Yeah. So this is, I'm a little torn here. I'm going to go with a heart pick. Someone who I'm really hoping will survive the early days of the season so that I can continue to root for her. And this would be Kristen. I knew it. We I'm a got my pick. Let's go. Christ. My next pick. Look, I'm hoping she's got plenty of experience. Now again, I think she could be a high variance pick. I think this is someone who could potentially struggle, especially, you know, comes in wanting to run things or coming up, you know, too strong, too intensive of a personality. But I think that her background is really unique.

1:10:53Growing up a queer woman in Idaho, having to navigate what that universe looks like, I think is something, especially, I think she's 49. Yeah, 49. I think that that's something very admirable. Has a lot of experience in life. So I'm, uh, it's definitely a heart pick. I'm really rooting for her. Yeah, I am pissed about this pick because that was my next pick. And that always happens with me and Leana. Why we can't be next to each other. We're right. But I love this pick. Same. I do really hope if she can get through the early days, I think she has a long run in her site. I vividly remember meeting her at the San Francisco. I give it. Yeah. Same, same, same. So cool. Then, but that was so free. 50 fun. So. Okay. Very exciting. Yeah. So. I gambled and lost. I thought that there was a chance that Kristen was going to come back to me on the second round.

1:11:54Bad gamble by me. Kristen, uh, I have spoken to on many occasions. Really knows her stuff. Really a smart player. I love the background in crisis management. I think it's going to be really interesting to watch that play out. I think also is not going to be a slouch in the challenges. And I think should be set up to do pretty well. I think that maybe the one thing you would say could be held against her. I believe it's the oldest cast member on the season. So that's always a hurdle for players to overcome. But if anybody could do it, I think it could be Kristen. Yeah, she's not giving it all this. Yeah. No, but the thing is because well, she's 49, which isn't old at all, but it's such a homogenous age cast. Like she's nine years older than the next two people. And then there's several years older than like the clump of age, which is the whole cast. So that's the concern. Obviously you get like Nate as an example. He had some funny bits about like not understanding the lingo or whatever, but like he worked well with everyone. But I'm not sure if the oldest woman on a cast is ever one US survivor.

1:12:57Did he like the little little Lisa was older? Yeah, I don't. Yeah. So I'm just like thinking from a pure stats point of view, that would give me pause. Yeah. But otherwise, she seemed really cool. And it could have happened. Maria was right there. Like it wouldn't it wouldn't be absurd. It's robbed. Yeah. They jumped her. They have to figure out she is a phenomenal pet peeve. I mean, this is this is top tier stuff. First of all, she says, I really dislike the term pet peeve. Like what even is that sounds like a poltergeist dog. Great. Turn it around on the pet peevers themselves. You know what my pet peeve is? The word pet peeve. Love it. But she's also she's covered herself. She's covered her bases. In case you need an actual one, she says crumbs on the kitchen counter. Really any surface sends me. Great pet peeve. Small little nuisance. Really annoying, though, who likes crumbs on a kitchen counter. Not her. I love it. Answer. I met her in San Francisco as well. And I really did feel like she was so inviting and easy to talk to.

1:14:00And so yeah, when she popped up on the cast, I knew who she was immediately. Like it wasn't even like, I have seen that lady before. I knew exactly who she was. And so I think that both well, because she made it impression for real. Exactly. Imagine that. How many people like we have interacted with across multiple live shows and multiple events and stuff. And to see someone be like, wait, I know who that person is. That shows like she had made an impression. Like you said. Yeah. Okay. Good pick. All right, there's Kristen. Okay. So let's go to Asia who has the 10th pick in the draft. So I'm over here panicking, sweating. I don't know what to do. My whole game plan has just been destroyed. Wanna switch? Bees more time? No, it's okay. So a lot of great picks. A lot of people that I had planned on picking, but that's the nature of the way this goes, right? So I'm gonna go ahead.

1:15:02My last pick was 34. This pick is also going to be 34. I'm gonna go with Anna. Okay. She's been a fan since she was nine. She's a voice actor. She, where is she from? Oh, she's from Canada. So yeah, exactly. Yeah, what's up with that? So she's gonna do very well as all Canadians do. And I just really like to vibe. I think she was one of those surprise, like casting choices of like, wait, she already has some like, is pretty notable, right? Between like her and Devon and Lewis. And so she says she's been a fan since she was nine years old. So she has some legs in this game. Like an understanding survivor. It's not just a random celebrity wanting to replace survivor. She's a survivor fan who happens to be a voice actor. And to separate her from Devon a little bit more,

1:16:04I feel like with me and Aga, we saw Devon and we're like, oh, we know him from Grey's Anatomy, right? For other various shows. But with her, she's on TV, but I've watched the boys. I wouldn't have just immediately pegged there. It's, oh, that's the woman from the boys. And I think you can really go under cover a little bit. It kind of, you know, keep your threat level low. But also not have people going, oh, you don't need the money. Because you're a celebrity, blah, blah, blah. So I think that might work in her favor for sure. I mean, unless other people just recognize her. And I'm just, you know, just went over my head. Mike seemed to represent that she had like a pretty decently sized arc on the show. I have not seen it. It's tight, you know, it happens. It's not like she's not there every season, every episode, you know, I'm saying, but she does have a little run. So I think honestly, similar to Devon. Yeah. Yeah. I like her a lot. I like her more than I back her though. Like in terms of my favorites, she seemed really personal. I really liked her video. I think she could be one of my favorites. But then she herself is like, I'm not athletic.

1:17:05And I like that. But I don't back it. That's my concern. I think any person who puts themselves through League of Legends can handle anything. So I absolutely think she's gone through the ringer. And I think she's going to be fine dealing with a lot of perseverance if she has that coming her way. She was one of my vibe picks. She was a high one for me. But I was kind of in a spot where I'm going back to back. So I wasn't going to back her in a back to back. But if I was in any spot there, I'm picking her. She was the other pick I was deciding between Asia because of course. I think I like that she describes herself as goofy. I just think that that's like that's going to be hopefully fun out on the island. And I do agree with what Puyah mentioned in terms of having a thick skin. Not just because of League of Legends, but also because of being a voice actor and dealing with rejection and having to deal with criticism. And hopefully that perseverance to be able to bounce back if something doesn't go your way is a trait that she has. And I think that that will be advantageous on the island. She had either a TikTok or a reel of her on a boat.

1:18:07And it was like when you're when you thought you were going to the love island, love island island, but she actually ended up going to the survivor island. She does seem goofy. Like her her her social media presence has been very funny to me. Yes. Yeah, I saw a post that was like, hey, let me have my moment. This is my moment. And you know what? Absolutely. Have it. Yeah, she's a she doesn't like transition lenses to her pet peeve. Doesn't like how they all go. Oh, she said they're weird to me aesthetically. What are those? Can someone explain that? It's just like when they become sunglasses. Yeah, like they're glasses. Then you go outside. They transition to sunglasses. And then that's it. But she's tired. I feel like that's our vibe. You know what I'm saying? I feel like that's what I'm going to be. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. Terrible pet peeve. It's not really a pet peeve. Yeah. I've put it here. It's been a thing like since we've been alive. Forever. Yeah. Wow. They happened very quickly after the end of the last day. I never heard of that.

1:19:07The worst is when they don't transition faster. Back to the savior. Yes. That's when it's the problem. That's what I'm talking about. Like you know those mugs that when you should put hot liquid in them, they can't get it. It's a concept. Yeah, you go outside. I've never seen a single person in my life with those. How vinyl. You would just get it out. You would only show out of the sunglasses. Yeah, maybe you don't realize it. We're talking 90s. Yes. Well, pull you if you would if you see them outside, they have one sunglasses. If you see them inside, they don't have them. Yeah. So you wouldn't know. Yeah. You have to be walking outside with them. You have to see the transition alongside them. And now for another transition. Let's move on to the 11th pick. We are now going to be after this halfway through the survivor 51 draft. And this is tough. This is where really we don't know a lot. I've gone back and forth a few different times. And I'm going to go with the person. Asia's got me really looking at every ages.

1:20:08I'm going to go with the person who I think is the better survivor age. And I'm going to go with Jenna. I was on a season that Jenna won. Maybe it's time for Jenna to win survivor again. She is a photographer. She has a survivor clause in the contracts for all of the weddings that she does. She's also an entrepreneur. She's a hardworking lady. And she seemed like she really wants this. And I think that they're going to have to kill her to get her off the island. It's her lifelong dream. It's her lifelong dream. And she seems like that she's going to come in. She says she's going to be empathetic, determined, and energetic. What more do you need? Rob, she couldn't even think of a pet peeve. She's too positive. She knows that. That was that. She's too positive. She's going to be like Kenzie and Charlie.

1:21:08I would know that was so. Yeah. She's a Kenzie versus Charlie debate. Be boys. I wonder how many of you I want to know how many brides like saw that in the clause and just have been laughing for years. And then summer, 2026 came. Unless you were the bride that you got the wedding canceled. We check out reviews because they might be some pretty bad ones. Like she left the subject. She was going to survive. We were getting married. We have no photos. She better win. Yeah. But she wants it so much. Like obviously like everyone in US survivor other than Lewis loves it. But man, she like really loves it. Like and I really like her. Like I hope for her sake. She does well. Yeah. But I feel like that panic attack energy could be with her as well as my family. Yeah. It could be. She's 30. I like that also. You know, not to tip my hand too much. But I was I think I was looking at some younger contestants. And so I think that I ultimately landed with Jenna.

1:22:08Somebody who I think is just going to be very excited. Very eager. I think that in the open era, I think especially I think it's going to be a lot of like twist of the week. And it's like, Hey, don't be lazy. Don't be the person. Like I think a lot of these rounds are going to be kind of like musical chairs. Like the music's going to stop. Somebody's going out. She's not going to let it be her. You know what's interesting about her. She says she's been watching survivors since she was seven. But then she said she wrote a poem before she's ever heard of survivor. Where she said I can't wait for you to live back at all these times. You believed in it. Well, one of her hobbies is lying. Okay, Joe. I think she was trying to say was before she heard back from survivor. Is my being? Some. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Maybe. I'm thinking a little five-year-old Jenna. She just said it. Yeah. She said the poem was inspired by her dream to play. The show. Okay. Okay. I stand for it. She gave that, she said I gave away 154 of those that one poem.

1:23:16And that she will be the sole survivor because she has an army of people. Those 154 people I assume that took the poem. And I'm just imagining her like handing this out on the street. She's just like, Hey, here's a poem. Now you're rooting for me on survivor. And that would be annoying to me because now it has a poem. Question. Her hate's bribes. Is this 154 different poems? Or no, the same. Okay. No, it was the same poem as the people. I think yeah. Are they all survivor themed? Maybe these are questions for all the poems. The poem is I can't wait for you to look back at all these times. You believed in it. Believe it was visible. What? Yes. You're right. My eye. At all. We have a lot of poetry writing contests. What happened? Maybe we'll help if it was like in Stanza's book because it's paragraph format. We can't get the vibe of the poem. Yeah. I'm off the chair and read it weirdly. Listen. Would you like to read it Shannon? There is it. I'll try it. I need to find it. I read it for a while. Do it, Jessica. Anyway, I think you have to adore her.

1:24:18It's in the name. Yeah, I think Rob is a great pick because I think Jenna Doer will do better than Dwight Moore. There you go. Oh, that's a great poem. I'm going to take that just a drink. More poetry. What? What the fuck was that? That's the Angela Shandefek's. That's great. I was like, you might have a stab. That's the beginning of the poem. You got to play that. Play it. This is the whole poem. I can't wait for you to look back at all these times. You believe, didn't it? Believe the point? Oh, yeah. No, Shannon. No, Shannon. Don't. No, Shannon. You can brush your ass out here to read. No, read me messing it up. No, Shannon. Is it a poem? No, Shannon. You popped out there. You're not a fortune. Shannon. It was a poem when everybody else read it. You'll turn. You're right now. You're right now. You do it. There might be punctuation missing. You're missing a poem. Yeah. I can't wait for you to look back at all these times.

1:25:22You believed in it. Believe it was visible. That's what the draft is. Believe it was visible. It was actually crazy. Possible. You think it was an auto correct? Right. It might have been one of those transcription errors. I'm not sure. Now we're editing her poem. The topic writer. Really meaning. This wasn't a chaty PT poem. Was it? No, I need to give that poem out to other people. No MDash. Yeah, let's fix it and then give it to a 157 people. Because I have the updated version. OK. So good. So good. So good.

Okay, and now let's go to our own Shannon Gus for another pick. There's a few good people left, I think. A few people you were high on my draft board. And I'm between three people in particular. I'm going to draft the mic we don't have a photo of outside of sexual. Okay.

1:28:54Very specific, Mike. Yeah, there are two mics. I'm going to put that one. All right. Mike seems great. He had a survivor proposal again. I get that. He seems like I don't know baseball, but he seems like he's important to baseball. He's an executive of baseball. He thinks that exactly. Captain of baseball. Intelligent, I'm sure. He obviously a huge fan. And I think he's whole thing was like, I'm not going to be, you know, the smartest or the most or the I'm just going to be just good enough. And that is kind of what survivors if you can manage it. So I like his attitude. And I like Mike. So that's my pick. Is it just me or does Mike look like someone? Like I don't know why he is such a familiar face. He really, really does. Who is he? Let me go. Let me enhance and enhance. You see he has to look like somebody. We Google, we can we reverse image search. Even from from survival.

1:29:55Right. Oh, you're right. You're on some terror. Okay. I don't know. Chad help us out. Who does he looks like someone? All right. Chad, we want. Who does Mike Pinsky look like? Wrong answers only. In the meantime, he has his pet peeves are misused words, overused words, and under seasoned foods. So he really likes over under and using things. Well, he's not going to like eating out there. Under is the food under seasoned. Asia. Well, the little bit of fish that was floating around on the lava beach had no seasoning. Caleb Reynolds almost died for sob and pepper. May say more about him. Okay. Do you think that if Jenna goes and reads him hope, Jeff Daniels, if you that would. Oh, that is that is that is that is that is that is that thing.

1:30:56That's what I'll talk about tearing you. No, that was the chat. I did that was. It's always Jay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's right there. It's right there. Yeah. Yeah. It's like it could be his son. Yeah. Yeah. Anyone have a take on my pick other than who do he look like? And I liked him. I thought he had good good vibes here. I mean, dangerously good vibes in the sense that like it could go really well. It could go poorly in that sense. Like I was like I feel like there's there's a world here where his executive experience means that he's going to like, you know, be that that Nate, you know, that's like, oh, you know, I'm coming in. I'm like a successful dude, but I'm also really cool or it could go the other way. But he's such a big fan of the show that I felt like, I felt like he's going to be able to fit. I felt good about my. Maybe this is emerging as one of my pet peeves. I don't know. But if you're a huge fan of the show and you are asked

1:31:58which player do you identify with the most, you can't name four people. You just can't do it. I don't think you should be able to. It's three element. Three is dog. We're pushing it at three. I feel like true maybe. Like maybe two. Because at that point, I don't know which one I would, you know, because if you give me one or two, I'm like, I could see that. Four, it just feels a little too convenient. Like I don't know. I could just fit you anywhere, which I shouldn't be the move. To be fair, it was two questions. Which do you identify with most? Which do you think you'll play most like? Which kind of invites multiple answers? In baseball, you used to talk about nine players. Foo yeah. So you're really having a list. Oh, here's the white dog today. There's like eight. And Cherleed off Boston Rob. That's a second Tony. Yeah, the people who say there's no one I'm like, and I'm going to play a totally new way. A way more annoying than the people who have multiple people to be fair. Like I'm not worried, but there's it.

1:32:59Let's agree with both. Yeah, I mean, no one's way more annoying. I just Jeff has said that someone from 50 fun, I think who could be. You think it's my host? Well, he's wearing a blue button. He's dressed in the jacket. What are you wearing like? Like, yes. Jeff Clowns. So up narrow down, I think that it could be Mike. Which means he must probably do. Did his clothes not make it out of baggage claim? And they gave him Jeff Macco. I guess that's what we were doing. I think he was just Jeff Daniels. And then Jeff Daniels could have. Oh, there we go. They got the bag name swap. Yeah. Mike is here with Mike. He's obviously a very smart guy. He's going to try to act as though he is not that, not as smart or trying to not show that off. And I'm just worried that people are going to look at him and say, this guy seems like that he's like a pretty smart corporate guy. Yeah, I can see that. He also, I think he, I think it was in his bio when he talked about, you know, it's all about like baseballs, all about numbers.

1:33:59Or maybe I'm just thinking of money ball. I don't really remember. But anyway, so it's like, if you, almost if you have this over reliance on data, you're not necessarily reading people. And like survivor is about feelings and like getting out and really like feeling the players, not necessarily just like looking at their stats. So I'm like hoping that he can kind of divorce those two and get really get to know people. But we'll see how that goes for him. Okay, anything else on Mike? All right. Let's go back to Chappelle. For the 13th pick in his raft. Sheesh. Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do because so many. There's fun. There's a lot of fun picks, but they're like some red flags that I'm really trying to avoid. You like that. I do, but I do. I do. They call my name. So I kind of want to go with the bigger red flag

1:35:00because if Terran takes this red flag, then I'm like, I'm be sad because I shouldn't just do it anyway. You know, but then I can't trust it. He's gonna let this come. Okay. All right. I'm going to go with Ori. Okay. I feel like he's a walking red flag for survivor players. He says he loves food and there's not a lot of that out there. But also, he's a big guy. I feel like he's going to draw attention to himself. But there was so many parts of his bio that I just like, there's so much me in there. You know, like I love my shoes. You know, I love my shoes. You know, and I just couldn't even, I couldn't, I couldn't let you know, I can, what are the, what are the nice shoes out there? I got a roof for this man. You know, so, uh, yeah, Ori, like I said, I have some issues. But for the most part, I think I think I'll be having fun rooting for him. Some issues and some shoes. He obviously reminds me of my dear friend TK. Yeah. And so I start to think about like, okay, is he going to be really competitive? How is he going to vibe if he, if you know, his tribe is the one, uh,

1:36:03like, not winning if they go to tribal multiple times? Because as a former athlete, he like, winning is the name of the game, right? So I think it's going to, I wonder how he's going to navigate that. But he does seem pretty likable to be like a, uh, a fitness coach. You work with people 101. You know how to have those conversations and have someone feel comfortable and vulnerable enough to you to share their fitness goals and work out with you. So he could do really well socially. I just wonder how he's going to handle, um, the, the competitive aspect. Yeah. You might know the other TK as well. But in like a concerning way, because I almost got grenadeed on TK and would have lost that one draft. I won that one time. So that was a concern for me. And not to throw a stone at that class house, but he was verbose. Like in the three words, it is right, you, he was expanding on all the words. It's not the same. You wrote a paragraph in, in the three words to describe himself. Two of the words, by the way, consistent and the other anomaly, which,

1:37:04I love that to be fair. A little little contradictory, but also one of the most sensitive. He's so consistent that it's an anomaly that he can be so consistent. I give it to boy. I think you can do boy. And his pet peeve is that he hates idiocy. He says, I hate idiocy. I have no patience for people who lack common sense. My second pet peeve is somebody that absolutely needs attention. I know it's ironic to say that on a TV show, but that look at me, people bother me. Just chill. Okay. Meanwhile, he's like, I'm going to get some of that. Two, two, four. I worry for him because he's on a cast of people who applied to be on a television show. Yeah. Yeah. Literal, literal actors are on this cast to be okay. Would we count food as a hobby? Is that a, would you say food hobby? Foodie. Yeah. I mean, to read foodie. Yeah. Yeah. He's a lot of all caps. That's why I'm yelling. I love to eat. Yeah.

1:38:05Wormongos doesn't like this. I mean, look, he's really athletic. Right? Like that. To me, that's like the first thing that I noticed. It was in his bio. So at least in the early days, I'm hoping that, you know, if assuming this cast is still prioritizing strength, although we've seen that not necessarily be the case. But I'd love to ask Shannon, her thought on this, because I feel like that we opened up doing this draft in survivor 41 in the new era. And it was three tribes of six. And there was a lot of thinking at that time of like, okay, well, the really strong guy is the most valuable person in the cast, because there's tribes of six. And for challenge strength, that's, now it didn't always work out that way. Do you have any thoughts on now if we are in two tribes of 10, at least to start? Well, firstly, I kept losing draft, so I had to change my tack. That did happen. Parabolic women, you said we're not going to do well in the new era. You let you say that. Well, I thought that I thought physical strength would be a big thing in small tribes.

1:39:08And then in 44, they did start voting. They were voting out all the women really early. Rachel is the one who won through. I thought the shorter new era format, would give better challenge competitors the chance to win out if they needed to. And then Rachel did do that to be fair. So maybe it's more on physical archetypes that aren't necessarily like the big guy. In two tribes of 10, I do feel like you would be even, even though TK went, you would be even more likely to say, they don't necessarily need strength. If we're not vibing with you, if we haven't aligned without you. So I don't think it necessarily tends towards physical strength. And maybe some of the people who aren't as physical can make it further when they've been a little doomed on disaster tribes until now. So hopefully that opens it up. And yeah, I mean, two tribes will be amazing. Hopefully they stick with it for a while. And if he's anything like TK, it's like, if he can make it through those early boots, I think they can grow to love him. I think like with TK, like once you get out of the boots. I do appreciate a boat though. Right.

1:40:09Because like with TK, you like once you get to know him, you're like, oh my gosh, he's like just the sweetest, greatest guy. Love to can't say enough good things about TK. And so like because I see similarities with Ori, I could see him being someone that is very likeable, but they got to get past those initial days. Okay. I think he, I mean, he's really tall, Chappelle. You were talking about high. Like I think he's probably the, he's going to stand out. He describes his energy a little bit more subdued than, uh, you know, when we were talking about earlier. That's what my point was. It wasn't so much that he was big. It was that it was going to be big and chaotic where he says consistent a few times. And so I'm really hoping that he could be kind of like a calming force on the tribe, kind of like that. Uh, like you mentioned Nate earlier, but you know how Nate was at the center of that alliance with Savannah and Rizzo and all of them. He was kind of just like riding the wave. I kind of, I kind of would like that for, uh, for Ori. So we'll see. Okay. Let's go back to Taryn for the first of two in a row.

1:41:10Yes. For my first pick, I'm going to, uh, actually, I recently watched, uh, Australian survivor. And there was a guy on there that I that I came to really enjoy. And he was, he was a, he was a wrestler. And, uh, and so I'm going to pick Brady, the pro wrestler here. Okay. A Brody. Yes. Sure. That's the wrestler name. Okay. Um, his pet peeves, overly judgmental, lying bad, hygiene bad manners. They're, they're bad pet peeves. Bad pet peeves already are getting a little bit. I did like his vibe. I thought that he, uh, he says he's enthusiastic, intense and fun. And I did get that vibe from him. So that's good self-awareness. Uh, he seemed like he was a fan of the show from my memory at least. Uh, and I feel, I feel like he's, you know, he's got the big guy that seems like he, uh,

1:42:13is very jovial that he, uh, will get along with people well. So what did I like? Yeah. I, listen, I need to talk about this real quick because talk about it. Fit is killing. First of all, Pooja, I love the picture. I pictured to a million people. They would never say this was survivor. Oh, no, they wouldn't. I like his pants. I like the pants. I love the pants. I love. They do not match the shirt. And then I'm not living for the new balance. Sneakers to match the pants. They are not the same energy. They're very different. To me, the, the pants and the shirt would work. But it's the, it's the head covering. It's not just not bringing it together. It's bringing me nothing. I suppose I'll give them that. I'll even, I'll even turn away from the new balances. But this up here, not a fan, not a fan. Yeah, I didn't really have that much trouble with the, the outfit. My issue was, did he say that he shot a deer at the age of seven and then covered himself in the Diaz blood? I didn't like that. I don't like that. They like when you cover yourself in blood and survivor.

1:43:14Remember, uh, hi and, uh, yes. It's one of those names. It's just, yeah. I didn't like that. So I wasn't going to. Oh, that was my scooping earlier on. Yeah. Uh, uh, if I remember correctly. Yes. I was redacting in real time. But, um, didn't love it. So that was, I was, that was going to fall as a pick for me. Oh, Jonathan posted a picture with him. Yeah, that dropped me. Yeah, well, Jonathan wants to be a road J. Full counting vision. Jonathan wants to be a wrestler. So, you know, this is kind of, I guess he's networking. Or maybe he put in the good word for, uh, Brady Brodie. Brodie, I mean, I did, I did think Jonathan for 50. So, um, and hey, not a bad pick either. Yeah, well, I mean, Brady relates to Jonathan also, right? So I think that there's a lot of consistent, uh, uh, parallels there. I think that he also, he's familiar with being outside, which I think is just super helpful. And I like outside. He loves outside. And I think that one of the things he mentioned is he's, um,

1:44:14we're comfortable with being uncomfortable. And I think that that is also something to be noted. Because you can have the best skill set. But if you get crank, I get so hangry. I would be so cranky and so miserable out there. No, he's used to, hey. So if he's, if he's used to that, I think that that's definitely a bonus for him. Am I misremembering this? He have three degrees also. Yeah, and pre-law, he does have that. Yeah. So he seems like that people are going to underestimate his intelligence, you would think. He seems like he is a smart guy. I don't know if he knows the show particularly well. He seems like that he is a more of a recent convert. He's just his family grew up watching it. But it doesn't say that he really is watching it. He don't know. He don't know how to show up. I don't remember what he said in the trailer we saw or in the preview we've seen. But he's seen like a jolly giant in that one confession we had of him. If I remember correctly. So I mean, listen, we are at that point in the draft.

1:45:17I do not think Brady's going first. Let's be honest. I don't think this man's leaving the game early. And I think while having watched Australia's survivor recently, Taren, this pick 1,000% makes sense. Just off of that. Yeah, I think that there's a decent track record for wrestling types. Look at the mayor of slam town who probably was going to go much further if he didn't have wild circumstances that led to him getting taken out of the game. So. I just have to do well on our shows. They do well on our shows. Austin, he did find on Big Brother. Has a wrestler ever won one of our shows? Well, victims aren't they all. And not that I can room things. So I can't think of one. Yeah, I'm not being shady. I'm just literally asking. No, I also can't think of one. Yeah. Yeah. Not yet. Um, okay. I think the thing that stood out to me is he said he's intense. What? He said single diggies. That's the guy.

1:46:17He said single. Diggies. Did he say? Diggy did. He did. Yeah. Yeah. What are we doing? What's going on? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he said he was intense. And I think that that's something to watch. Just point it out. I think someone who baves an animal blood if intense. I just think also I just think maybe he was a child when that hasn't shanning people. Yeah. Terran has a mention of it. Like he has bad hygiene as a pet peeve. This is the wrong show to be on if you don't like that. If you don't like the hygiene. If you don't find my way, look, everyone just smells like he's smoking campfire. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah. Animal blood. That's not what Sandra's saying. She said, Russell need to get an ocean. Why is that? I think that everybody has a very like a bad baseline of smell. But then there are a few outliers that are like particularly like. What happened here? Where have you been? I didn't know what happened. What is that?

1:47:17What's so sad? Yeah. What is that? I think I've got some eruptant heavens. All right, Terran, you have two picks on a row. Now we need to know who he's smoking though. Name names. We can guess. We know. We'll find out after the show. Are we able to like, we call that after Terran's two picks or before Terran's two picks? To say please. Left. Yeah. Okay. This is Terran's one pick. Sure. I hear it. I think Sam has a chart that's microscopic. But let me see if I can bring it up full screen. I need some of those transitional lenses. So these are the people that are picked. Asia, I don't know if this will help you in terms of who has not. Who's left? I'm not. Yes, that is not. That's not the one I can name before you. Okay. I'm a pooh. Aliyah Carter Christian. Maggie Pat Robb and Tinnon have not been picked. Yeah. Yeah. Terran, what you going? What you going to Rosman? This is the hardest one for me so far. I've been back and forth on a couple of different people.

1:48:20And I think ultimately, because usually I like to sort of spread out a little bit. But then I also like themes. I feel like I'm going to go with a bit of a, I'm going to take a note from Shannon. I'm going to go with a bit of a bro theme this season. Kind of a divergence from my normal tactic. But listen, I'm feeling broy right now. I'm going to go with Carter. Okay. Carter rules. I was going to go for that. Okay. Okay. Carter, could he be the open era JT? I hope so. Which JT? Which of the many versions of JT? We've seen. So that's very different. These are terrible because it's one and it's if you chew with your mouth open, just might as well pack your bags and head home. Life's too short for that. What are we doing here? But I did like the vibe. You know, it was like, you know, Southern good old boy kind of he's a farmer.

1:49:23And I feel like I feel like he's not going to be the grenade. I feel like he's going to be like underestimated perhaps. And I think that he can really surprise people in terms of like, I think that he's in he's well positioned to like come in as somebody that feels a little bit different from the other people because of his background. And I think that'll play well actually. Yeah. He says he wants to play like you Rob. Yeah, I'm sure that it's who's. Yeah, he meant. It's it's it's it's it's the imagination. He's a Rob. He might be about the general. He may have met all the Rob's. Yeah. Also, as far as I know, this isn't is the look. But like as far as hand poses go, I will take this over this. Yeah, he got eight up. He didn't even know he got eight up like that. They really set him up for failure.

1:50:23Yeah. In the middle of it. Like, right. This mid yet is mid hand formation. Kind of awkward. Leana, it's like on top model. Oh, I guess I should add it. It's like on top model where they take all the photos. And then they like pick the worst one. Yeah. Like, this is your best photo. Now you're going home. It's like, wait, what? I don't have to be something better than that. I'm going to throw my hand. Yeah. Yeah. It's. Oh, that's too plaid. He had to be the next Jeff. He said Rob. He said Rob. Yeah. Loan in the chat said that he reminds him of Kyle from 47, which I could see him having a very being in that similar archetype. Just like out here, good experience. Small town guy on the big island. Yeah. He opened his snow cone truck. He also has a moving truck with his friend, right? He had one truck and it's been multiple things. It seems pretty clear that the truck. The truck keep me perfect.

1:51:23He's adaptable. So he says we made this moving company from scratch. They spent most of their time in the name department. And they landed on move, move, move. How much time did you spend in the name department? Listen. It's pretty descriptive. No. What do they do? A double meaning. Hustle and moving at the same time. Yes. Okay. Anything else on the card? A really weird whistling noise with the back of his throat. Oh. My goodness. My goodness. I just got a word working. I think it's a good pick. I don't think he's going to be the grenade. I think of, I mean, there may be because there are three farmers. Maybe they don't want to keep one farmer around. Not farming a lion. Way too many farmers. So, Aja, you bring up a good point about the grenade. If you're just joining us here for the first time to see the survivor draft, we did not set up a very important rule of this draft of that you may have the winning player

1:52:26on your team. But the other stipulation is that you didn't have the first boot on your team. And so round three, you may think, okay, well, all the good picks are gone. But there's a lot of intrigue still to unfold here as it is very important to not have the first boot on your team. Because if you do, the only way you can win is to have not one but two of your other team members in the final three and impossible feet. Question. Open era. Things could change. We already know that we might not be getting three tribes, right? What if it's the final two? What happens then to our Grenade? Yes, you get the final two. Oh, but then you, okay, yeah, shoot the moon. It makes him impossible, but Shepel has done it so that has shown it is possible. It is possible. Shepel did it in our second season without rule, by the way, wild. Another thing is round heads, just the thing people call people that I've never heard also,

1:53:31like the transition lenses. I assume it's like a local thing. I assume. Okay, I've run out of questions. All right, we got to get you some. Shepel, can you avoid a grenade in round number three? Typically no. Not really my strong suit. If anybody's going to carry the grenade, twitch is definitely me. And so I want to be careful because I don't want to curse this person either, right? Whoever I choose might be the grenade just because that's how things go for me. And so I don't want to like, will this into existence for them either. But I got to pick somebody, right? Hey, a part of me wants to pick a fun pick. You know, get this point. I'm so far. Oh, yeah, we're so far into the picks right now. Like, okay, I'm going to pick somebody who calls himself fun, chaotic and loud. I was going to go with Christian in his bow tie.

1:54:31Okay. And the bow tie. Yeah, the biggest, the biggest selling point for me was that he's from Utah and they be playing survivor. They get down like the Canadians. Yeah, they like the Canadian, they're the first Canadians, the Utah. But yeah, she's like, he's going to play a fun game. And I really like what he said about if I lose, I'm going to do whatever it takes to make everybody else lose. And so I thought that was very funny. Because at least it sounds like aggressive gameplay. And I really like to see somebody go really hard in the game. I liked Christian. Christian was one of the people I was looking at as well. I also got a good vibe. I feel like he just seems very friendly. And I feel like you just kind of want to work with him. And I think that's very good. Also, he has great pet peeves being mean to animals, logical inconsistencies, people getting upset or mad at someone crying or showing emotion, which has been a pet

1:55:33peeve of mine during this big brother season. But I just thought it was a bit concerning that Asia didn't take him because when he was 47, and she really wanted sage. So I was like, here you go. I didn't even consider him because I was like, oh, you're in fact. Wow. It's a good memory. Remember when I told you, Asia didn't respect me. This one I'm talking about. She didn't give me the heads up. You know this man. Why are we bringing up the pet? Asia, you took this man. So it's been a little bit of time with Christian and Fiji in 2024. I thought that was public knowledge. Exactly. And the main thing I knew about Christian at the time, affectionately known as CC, he had on a mask with like a mustache on the mask. And I thought that was very interesting and intriguing. I just wanted to get to know so much more about him until, you know, he wasn't broadcast.

1:56:35You know, he give I get a little bit nervous about Christian. Because of the mustache. Because of the mask. No, it's concerning. He just gives me very, I mean, we've talked about it with other people that we've picked so far. He gives me very excited. Wants to be here so bad that I just, I really hope he's not like an accidental grenade. I think he could do fine if he makes it through the early stages of the game. But what concerns me are these initial days? How's that going to work? I mean, you know, it's hard to say. I couldn't bet on that, but I am excited to root for him. And Terrence, right? He is very friendly, very like a lot of energy, really sweet guy. I just don't know how that early, those early days are going to go. Are you worried that he is going to put too much pressure on himself? Are you worried that the other players are going to not see him as an asset?

1:57:42Both. Yeah. I think both could happen. I do think that he could either be targeted very early because look at him. He looks smart, you know. And he, we learned in his bio, he graduated high school at 15. And so if he tries to lie about that trajectory in his life, you know, he could be having to like, leave out a lot of his life. So therefore, people could feel like they're not really bonding with him in the early days. But then I also just wonder, yeah, how the tribes going to see him as an asset. They very, I mean, he could do maybe he does really well in the puzzle. Maybe he is really athletic and that's just something that comes across immediately. So I think it's just a huge question mark for me. Well, he identified the most with TIE. I know, sorry, Puyi, he did list four people. So you can talk about that in a second. But he identifies the most with TIE, which I thought was kind of interesting. So I don't know if there's like an element of him that may come across as disarming. And because you know, it's like, oh, TIE, TIE, so cute. So I'm wondering if that is the initial impression that he gives off.

1:58:44But I trust Asia's judgment. So sorry, you doomed him. TIE, TIE, did really good. It's over twice. But Asia has met this man. And so, yeah, I feel like the trade, but it's okay. We have personal conversations. We were all on our best behavior, not talking. Sure, Asia's the best. We have all presenting their best version of themselves in that point. Like all the other seasons, that's about, oh, uh-huh. I feel like if you're trying to potentially hide, intellect or physical attributes, physical attributes, you can potentially hide in some ways, you're not hiding the intellect with the bow tie on. Like everything else is going to work. They made him wear it. You think this was not a fashion choice that Christian made for Christian? Yeah. Was he wearing the bow tie? He's in 47. He's in 47. Good question. Was he wearing the bow tie in Ponderosa? No. Just the mess. I didn't even know what he looks like. Well, yeah. And the bow tie has musical notes on it. So now they're going to know your musical also?

1:59:44That's not a thread. Let's go. A little music playing in the evening. That's a learning. I feel like maybe that's the new, the new threatening thing. Oh, your music is the key. Do you kind of use it? You're really good at music, all and music. Get on it. The name is Christian and you see her to say, you're going to win every rap battle with Jeff. I hope the open era is closed on the wrapping. Please. Hey, jelly said there should be wrapping to herself. So I want to see a battle. I like that. To the carpet. And look, he's the head of HR. I mean, at 25, that's wild. Like I am HR adjacent and all heads of HRs are in their 40s and up. So all super messy. They're all super messy. And that's why I'm going to love watching them play because I did that. There's nobody going to tell your business. It's the people in HR. He's also 25 and married with a son. So it's like overachiever.

2:00:44Yeah, like that's not a combination. You see this. That's why for me it's such a question mark. Yeah. Yeah. Asia literally said his week is how amazing he is. And that's why I didn't pick him. Because that's so Asia. It was so harsh on him, but it was like the kind of thing you've ever heard. He got a little bad about that. But he didn't draft him. And technically he is 47 strong. And she knows him. Right. She was fighting to have Genevieve and Genevieve just, you know, you knew that was the ops and you were trying to get on your team. And you didn't, you dis-managed it. No, do nothing to you. I'm so what is happening? It's not the ops. Just so we're clear. Not the ops. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Shannon, there are five players left on the board. Can you avoid the grenade? Well, that um, this was like 20 me.

2:01:46I still have someone that was in my top group. So I feel good about that. So I'm going to take this person um, Tanon. Okay. Tanon, that's how I want it. Yes. She is really good. Like I think the thing is why she's fallen so far to me is because she won't come across as threatening, but she like kind of is. You know, she's very athletic. She's the med student. She seems intelligent. Like I think she seemed really personable. She had, she took so many boxes. She's like, you know, really cares about grammar. I care about that. Um, she thinks that she's, she seems great, but will be overlooked as we have done. Proving the point and could probably make it pretty far. So she's my pick. Yeah. I think that's a really good pick. I was looking uh, very closely at Tanon might have been my pick coming up next. The one thing that was giving me pause was I think that there is some grenade potential. I think that there is winner potential,

2:02:47but I think that the is also some grenade potential as being maybe the smallest person on the cast. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, and that, that is the issue. I have to be with 10 people in a tribe, but still not nothing. I've definitely been grenades in the past for having someone who like is really great and fun, maybe throws up in someone's face, which is unfortunate. And like on the small tribes, this has nowhere to hide. I think on a 10 person tribe and the thing is she's good, she's good, she's good at the challenges. Like she's very athletic. She was a boy scout. Boy scout. She had a runner. Yeah. She is. I think she's like a long distance runner. So, marathoner, I think. Yeah. She's got the skills. So, I don't, I think that it would be like a completely judgingable by its cover pick, which can happen obviously in these early boots, but I think she'll be helpful to the tribe. I think that she'll find friends. There is some potential, but it is shallow potential that could be that could be true. But I'm hoping that all her many actual attributes will be able to,

2:03:48to, you know, get her through that. Yeah, with her, I wasn't even avoiding the grenade. I was in between her and Anna for my second pick. Like I was going back and forth, back and forth. So, I think it's a amazing, an amazing pick. She seems like she's going to be a very well-rounded player. I don't think her size will come into play because we'll probably have like Ori and Brady on two different tribes and it's 10 people. So, I don't know, I think it'll be harder to stand out in like that aspect of your pulling your weight in different, like she's clearly athletic and she seems like she's smart. She's a Texan. So, got to support. Got to. Well, and a lot, one of the times it's body weight, also, that really matters. Like your strength to body weight ratio. And I feel like she's somebody, you know, she could help like lift her up or because she's so small. You can like lift her up, she can grab the key. She could potentially help with puzzles. She can help let, you know, pull her way through things. I don't think that it's necessarily as big of a concern.

2:04:51She's younger than kind of the age that I would necessarily be looking at at 25, but still, I think that there's a lot of upside to her. And this cost again is kind of old in that age group. So, I feel like she's not standing out in that way. She's a young doctor. She's a secret doctor like everybody else. She, her package, anything that seems unfair. And I like the seams inclusion there because I agree. If it seems unfair, it's annoying even if it is fair. And also, people who don't separate your versus your, which I enjoyed saying out loud. Yeah. Karen, if you have a medical emergency, you can go to her. Just medical student. She pointed out your and your, but not there and there. Maybe that one. Now, just, just see or you're and there's there too. They're there. That's right there. They're there. We got both.

2:05:51I also really liked her. What are you most proud of? She mentions that during COVID, she made a new friend who after a year wrote, you taught me what being happy truly means. And that was very nice. I cut wow like that. Yeah. It's incredible. That poem they were passing on. Is it 154 poems though? All right. I just want to know what happy means. You'll find out when you win the season. Yeah. All right. There is Shannon's pick with Tanon. It's back to me and I, I'm sorry. I think that was pretty good. Dead round. Yeah. So far so good. I think she was the biggest still. Oh, I think she will probably be the spill of the round. We'll see Rob, you have to do the thing now, right? Rob's thing. You have to do the thing. No, you do the thing. No, no, I can't do the thing. It's your thing. It only works. I'll do the thing. Okay. No, you only Rob can do the thing. Okay. Yeah. Wait, what's your, I think it's confused.

2:06:52What's my what? Does that think of the name? So who you want you to go in a name direction, I think, that only I think so. Yeah, but I'm not. It's not a big. Yeah. I'm not going to. Um, I love the root of the robes. Oh, I mean, yeah, I mean, there's, uh, there's two women that I'm in between, but I'm going to go with the person that I like her. Who are you going to play like much more? And I'm going to go with Pat. First of all, two, I think. Oh, look. She ate that picture. Oh, she ate that picture. Oh, no, no. Nice job here by Pat, who is, um, she is a federal prosecutor. She's a jagged. Yeah. She, um, yeah, this lady, this is a powerful lady. You can tell you can tell you have a lot going on. Yes. She was going to court real means business like a, like a young portion.

2:07:54What's their like the name? Ellen's, uh, uh, uh, Portia Durasi. Oh, Durasi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Give me that Portia Durasi energy, Pat. Yeah. She is a tough customer. Obviously she's a prosecutor. She likes to go do boxing. So I think she is going to come into the game and, uh, play really hard. I think she does not have a ton of knowledge about the show. I think that, uh, Mike had brought this up that she's only seen a season or two before she applied. Uh, she does want to play like a man to camel and Rachel Lamont, Asia. Love that shout out. Okay. Now you're loyal to 47. Yeah. The people that made it onto 47. Okay. All right. Everybody lowered the voice. Yeah. So there's Pat. I don't, this isn't the grenade. And she has winner upside. Yeah. I don't disagree with either of those statements.

2:08:57She's a personality. Well, there you go. We know a lot of you. That's too many more, but there you go. I mean, I guess the lack of fandom is maybe the only one. So anything we've seen recruits win the game though. Yeah. I don't. Yeah. I don't. We don't even know what this game is. This is the open era. I don't know what's going to happen. And she's in a recruit. She could have watched once and apply. That's kind of what happened to, uh, um, MC. Yeah. Her first episode of the survivor was episode three season 47. And then she said, I want to play. I'm not joking. That's for her first episode. And then she watched. I will avenge Asia. Yeah. So I'm not as concerned with her fandom. I just, I'm thinking, I'm looking at the other people. Like, do you all see the blend? Who's she going to vibe with? Yeah. Right. Yeah. She mentions goofy. I don't didn't necessarily get that. She's not giving it. Listen, yeah. I feel like we had this this summer, where in someone on Big Brother called themselves bubbly

2:09:58and we didn't see it in fog. So maybe we'll see it this time. Maybe it's different. She's a hailey. Boo. No. I do not. I disagree completely. Rob, I'll be honest. You snipe two of my picks this draft. I should have been in the fourth pick. Differmed. Yeah. If her and Kristen link up, they're going to feed families. Okay, that's going to be in a line. You know, that joint slay. You can't even handle it. Okay. So, uh, yeah, they got to watch out for Pat. I think she's got like all of these like interesting things in her background. She was homeschooled. She's part of a military family and like in the military herself. She, I think like was in the Navy or is the Navy lawyer. Anyway, something to do with the Navy. I think that it's like, is that in this cause? You know what I mean? But I get this cast. It does have a lot of people with like a blue collar work ethic. And that's something that what she does is a blue collar job. But I do think that a work ethic is very strong. I think with Pat, I think that one of the things that they've done this season, especially with three farmers in the cast,

2:10:58I think that they really want to get back to survivor being about like providers and people like, I don't think they liked it when they love Rizzo. But I don't think they liked it when Rizzo was like saying to Colby, hey, we don't even, why are you even building a shelter? We just sleep on the dirt because it's like in the survivor of 50 finale. Jeff couldn't wait to sing Rizzo of like, oh, you thought you were so great. But did you learn how to make a fire? And it's like, oh, that hasn't happened yet. But Jeff just wanted to say the burn so bad. If she said her dad in his own words, succeeded in his 26 year Air Force career as an officer, primarily based on his good looks. Which I didn't realize was something you could could succeed on as an Air Force officer, but I'm impressed. He must have been really good looking. Well, she's, uh, good looking. She's watching the one survivor. She said, well, my sportsman personality, my undeniable wit. And of course, my good looks. That's a, that's a selling point. Mm-hmm. Yeah. How about these pet peeves? Like, sunglasses though.

2:11:59Yeah. Yeah, that was very specific. Is it transition lenses? Yeah. Karen, I really don't like the, like, the blue sunglasses in the Big Brother house. As in the lenses or the frame? No, like the frames. They look like they're for children. What are weird ones in the Big Brother house? I think that's what she means by the white ones. Like, the white ones are usually just like, the gimme. Yeah. What am I at a sweet 16? Okay. There's Pat. All right. Kind of day win survival. We're about to find out. Okay. There are three picks left. Asia, Liana, and Pooja. There are three players left. Well, there are. I don't get to pick. I just get it bestowed upon. You just get a person. Yeah. Yeah. I'm still personally well-ovicated. So my first pick, okay, well, first of all, really wanted to non.

2:13:00So we'll move past that. I'm happy for you, Shannon. My first pick was 34. My second pick was 34. My third pick is 24. I'm going to go with Liana. Okay. Allia is a chef from Rhode Island. Oh, that's what I should have said. I should have said I'm picking someone from Rhode Island. Keep you on your toes. But yeah, she's a chef from Rhode Island. She definitely was, she was like, she wasn't in my top half of people I was considering. I thought she seemed fine. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I will enjoy rooting for her. And just I think her pants are really cute. Now that this is the draft slash, it's a look. It's a look. Part two. But yeah, her interview or her,

2:14:00not interview. Her bio was the shortest. Like they didn't even ask her all the questions. There's no pet pee here. There's no pet pee. It's like nothing. It's fresh. She doesn't exist to me. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Short order. Short order. That's concerning. I don't know. She just opted out. Maybe she's also giving alternate to me. Which is okay. Some people. Yeah, we've seen two alternates from 47 go on to play. So. And what about your draft? From the new era. Yeah, there's a new reason. Just an interactive. Okay. Yeah. What's the else's hesitation on Aliyah? I just thought she didn't get enough from her. Yeah, I couldn't decide one way or the other. Yeah, she's fine. I think she feels like a wild card pick amongst this group because we do not know a lot about her. And we already don't know a lot about any of them really. So it is kind of like taking a flyer this late in the draft. But I'm not mad at this pick from you, Aja. I genuinely think you probably did the best pick of what was left.

2:15:01Thanks. Yeah, I know why they didn't do any press. Now they hate off. Okay. Yeah, I bet the other. Well, no, I mean, again, in her very short bio, you're really kind of just like, I feel like I'm a bit picking through the scraps. But in terms of players that, that, you know, she associates with, we see Suri in there. We love that. Bam, bam. So who knows running her mouth for a half a little bit. But, you know, I mean, I think that those are two really great people. If she's able to play like them, I mean, that's absolutely wonderful. There's just not a ton to go off of. But I think at this stage in the game, I think it's a wonderful pick. A fun fact is that she's the first known contestant to be raised by same six parents. So we love that. Oh, yeah. We don't have a lot of lee. I'm gonna learn about it. Yeah, we're gonna learn more. Okay, but she's on Asia's team. Okay. All right. So it comes down to Liana and Puyah.

2:16:04Once again, it's a, it's a, it's a special episode of the PAL tonight. As Liana decides who will get Maggie and who will get wrong. Liana, there are no correct answers here. Whatever you pick, I fully support. Are you sure about that promise? I promise. Are you sure about that? I promise you. Absolutely. Okay, great. Then I'm picking Maggie. I tried as far as I wanted to do the thing. Yeah. I get a moment when I was trying to get Rob's pick Rob. It was a little bit of a giveaway. Yeah. You know what's funny, Taryn? That's the point in the draft. I realized, oh, I don't get to pick. It's just going to be someone giving it to me. So I was like, Rob, please, your name, Rob. Anyway, let's go on Maggie first. Thema the season. Got to pick a farmer. Love that she's weapon overalls. Very, very fun going full farmer here. She is, I think 40. So I like that for her.

2:17:05Again, maybe sway is older in terms of the cast, given their sort of conglomeration around the late 20s, early 30s. But I'm really hoping that her outdoor experience is going to allow her to be super comfortable out there. And she just seems very warm and bubbly, very joyful. I think that's one of the words she used to describe herself. She herself said she's a lot. Now again, I respect it. But that's definitely zero. She also wrote an all-cass in her bio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's more hot. It doesn't seem to have a pet peeve. Wow. It's so positive. Big survivor fan watching for a long time. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Her three words to describe as of our joyful, intentional, and red deck. Is it a coincidence that these pet peeveless people go to the end of the draft?

2:18:10I don't know. I don't know. We're still in your style, Terran. We got to get like you. We got to win. She is one of the farmers. She is one of the farmers. She is one of the farmers. She's here finally listening. They could definitely be like a farmer alliance that that takes it. Yeah. Me and Maggie got the same inspiration. Jesus. Because, haha. You know, I go up from a boy. So yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that, Maggie. She has a lot of hobbies. Yeah. Farming, gardening, fishing, hunting, exploring, running, lifting, pole vaulting, reading, teaching, singing, cooking, playing guitar. She really has not pole vaulting in there, huh? Yeah. Well, Asia, she reminds me of like a Texan. Do you know what I'm saying? Do you know what I mean by that? Yeah. Like you're on your way from Houston to Austin. She lives in one of those in between cities. She got three kids. She's running the PTA like it left in the Navy.

2:19:12Everybody knows her when she walks in the Walmart. You know, I hate this naggy. I hate this. I hate this. Yeah, exactly. Everyone knew she was gone for survivor. Because of the town's small, yeah. She didn't tell anybody, but they all knew. Yeah, I know this lady. Okay. There's Maggie. All right. Pooeya has the 21st pick in the drafts. Yep. In the great year of 2026, I am once again rooting for a Rob on reality TV. Rob A is here. All right. So let me, let me open up by saying Rob A said, Boston Rob is who he identifies with the most. And he said he cares himself with a swagger of not caring what others think about him, which is exactly how I am. Good Rob because you have put my entire draft on jeopardy because you decided to get off the couch. I am so nervous about this man. What's the proof to his children that he can do this and he is not an outdoors type.

2:20:14Do you know how nerve wrecking this is going to be for me premiere night? I'm going to be slated up on the podcast, shitting myself watching this. I don't know. There's a chance I've been granated. I don't know. And I'm petrified because I've been granated once season 41. We're in a new era. I find myself in the draft. I'm a little bit nervous. Now let me talk about the other stuff, right? One of us loves these shows, loves housewives, loves traders, love island, the challenge. He watches it all so I can respect that one of us in that regard. I don't know. In hobbies, he said videoing podcast is one of his hobbies. Yes. Does that mean he does podcast or he tapes them? Why is he taping them? He does do podcasts and he does a lot of social media content also. So maybe that's what you mean. Okay. Videoing podcast. Yeah. Videoing. Also, what a accomplishment. Right. What is the economy you're most proud of helping to create my three children? The phrasing is interesting. I spotted that one too. Yeah.

2:21:15He helped you really enjoyed the happening of the creation. Yeah. I think he's probably not the take over credit. You got to enjoy the process. Trust the process. Trust the process. When I think my wife gets annoyed if somebody says that a man says like I had a baby or we had a baby. We are pregnant. So he's at least being pretty honest about it. Yeah, I think he's trying to be diplomatic. I respect that. In his helping of the creation. He doesn't like the pouring of soda. Yeah. Why it's a good sound. That bothers me. That's universally beloved sound. I love that sound. Why do we? Okay. Rob, you know what? Because this I respect it. No, Tari, and I can't. It's specific. It's weird. And he doesn't know why. That's it. I do will say saying that he is an airport of someone that works with you. Airport and that's going to help him in survivor.

2:22:16I think two things, right? I feel like you get one or the other extreme in an airport. You either get the person that's not talking to anyone. We're just there to get on the flat and leave. Or you're getting like the wildest person who have ever existed at the airport who's chewing your ear off. There's no middle. And I'm concerned because I'm like survivors mostly middle folks. I'm not going to get someone who's keeping it to themselves like that. You might get a couple people who are going to be a little bit more like you would never want to be in the queue in front of behind them at the airport for sure. But again, I think I'm being harsher on Rob that I need to be. But also I didn't get to pick him. And this draft leans on grenades. So Rob, when you do not leave, I'm not enjoying this experience so far of hearing my name and people are talking to me. It's very exciting. Rob, you had. Well, you could have done the thing and then you picked them. And then we wouldn't be talking about them. And then you would be talking about him. Yeah. This man said, I'm just putting myself out of my comfort zone to make my kids proud.

2:23:20And who went on him for five full minutes? I think he's fine. We just want to make his kids proud. And I hope he does. I'm, listen, I'm one of the children now. Because I'm hoping I can be I'm proud of dad by end of premiere night. Because after that, it's all bonus. So we'll see. We'll see. Help create a kind of to him and believe in him more than you do. They will believe in him plenty. Yeah, they don't need him to go on the show. We love you no matter what dad like that's what they're saying. Oh, no, kids not like that. I would kids like that Rob. I love you no matter what you don't need to do something cool. I sure depends on the day, I think. He seems like a good time. Yeah, he's gonna be good like a. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna enjoy himself. Yeah. Yeah, great time. I like that. Oh man. Yeah, Mike, a set of him in the final preview we did that he sees the vision of what do you think of Boston Tony?

2:24:22Too much. No, you know what? You know what my pet peeve is whenever anyone says they're gonna play like Tony. You just you're not. No one, no one's. I mean, everyone on Australian survival like once per season someone actually kind of is. Yeah, I'm gonna say because we saw Tony's on the street survive. I don't want to put words on the traders. Oh, he did say he would who would play like Tony. He did. Yeah, he said it makes Tony and Joe. Tony and Joe was crazy. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. What is Joe? I mean, Tony and Joe is just Tony. Yeah, yeah. All right. We did. We said, Tony and Joe is trying to rationalize what Tony is doing in a way that would make the world explode, I think. Okay. All right. Let's take a look at our fully completed survivor 51 draft. The winner has been selected. The grenade has been selected. Taran has his bros. It's Devon, Brady and Carter.

2:25:23Sheppel has a curb, keeps like killby. Make this bigger killby, orry and Christian. But that's what all these all male teams. Then Shannon has jelly, Mike and Tanan. I have the all ladies team, Lenea, Jenna and Pat, Asia as well, Sharanda, Anna and Alia. What's up with all these all ladies teams? Yeah. Liana has Eric, Chris and Maggie, and Puyah has Alexis, Lewis and Rob A. It's just Rob. It's just Rob. It's just Rob. It's just Rob. You don't have to do this. It's a difference. It's a big deal for you again. He's now Rob. Okay. All right. What else? Anything else to go over tonight? This was fun.

2:26:24Yeah, to be back. Okay. Fun. It hasn't been way too long. The chat, yeah. Like it had fun, Mike Bloom thinks we did a good job. He loved it. You guys are really going to have to take this one because I literally ran out. I bought a whole set and I've now run out of trophies. So I'll have to buy more if I win this one. That'll be a problem for me. Okay. We're setting off some pet peeves of some of these plays. All right. Well, so much fun. We are, but eight days away from the survivor, 51 premiere, a lot of fun stuff lined up there, including we are going to have a kickoff to survivor every week.
