Club Condo is back here at the merge to talk about everything that's going on in Survivor 47. And you can say what you want, but Survivor 47 And you can Say what you want But Survivor 47 No one's gonna say Survivor 47 is boring No one's gonna say it's boring

And a guy who's never boring It's Chappelle Hey Rob I'm very excited to be here to talk to you You know why? Why? We had a great episode of Survivor This is a banger i think this is one of

the there's gonna be a standout from the season i think these last two have been a really good uh survivor 47 has seemingly found its stride because i'm in i'm all in on the ride right now yeah i don't think it ever was like out of stride i mean uh the last season that we did this for, Club Condo premiered in Survivor 46, and we were like, it got bad. Yeah, we had the Ballad of Banu, and it lasted roughly four episodes. It was more like three episodes, but it was a long three-episode stretch where it was like, hey, Banu, he's having a hard time. Then it was like, hey, maybe y'all should vote out Banu. And then by the third one, we're like, okay, he wants to go,

let him go. And then he was there for one more episode. You know, so it was really drawn out. This episode, we got the ballot of a fallen hero, Rome, here. And it was one episode.

One episode of just a rise and fall of one of the bigger characters that we've seen this season. And, yeah, a banger. I think that a lot of people felt a lot of ways about this episode. And so that is a good thing in Survivor because you will be talking about it.

It made you feel something. Yeah, very Drew Christie. Very, what is it? Chris Noble. Chris Noble. You know, we've seen this tell his oldest time. And I like it. I'm not going to lie to you.

Anytime Survivor breaks the mold and just really highlights somebody, I'm always excited. So the beginning, the end, it was a great episode. Yeah. Well, starting with the beginning, we should have known that something was up when the episode started with this. Previously on Survivor. This Rome guy is playing really aggressive. Can I have a minute alone? No, it's Survivor.

I don't have to. Really hard. You just threatened me. That's not a threat. Can I have a minute alone? No, it's Survivor. I don't have to. Really hard. You just threatened me. That's not a threat. That's an ultimatum. And you best believe Rome's causing a whole lot of ruckus. That's kind of dope. Yeah, he was.

Rob, okay. Look, look. Okay. We saw a lot of Rome in this episode. We actually didn't see. I watched it again, and I was like, we actually don't see that much Rome. We see Rome at the beginning

and then we see a lot of Rome at the end right like when the tables turn on Rome but the middle is kind of quiet so throughout the episode I wasn't convinced that just because

we got that big moment at the beginning from Rome the previously on I wasn't convinced that it was definitely Rome but all that aside Rob you were the original superfan

how would you have felt if jeff was like hey sestino today is your day you can narrate the previously on and i'm gonna use it in the episode you would have lost your mind yeah i think i would have been uh very excited um the the first time i played i i think now i would say like uh this is a trap this is yeah yeah this is a trap i don't actually want this but yeah but i also don't think that jeff would have let that happen uh back uh way back when yeah um yeah back then it was survivor takes itself seriously now but back then it was like in itself really seriously first of all i had to beat those studio allegations people were like it's made on a on a on a lot like big brother

it's not real um these people aren't really surviving he wasn't having it you were you were out there making campy jokes singing songs that survivor didn't have the rights to you were breaking all the rules and jeff was like trying to let you know i really didn't cester you know you're lucky to be here um but now well yeah it's lucy goosey it's loosey goosey. It is loosey goosey. Uh, not to say like, uh, too much back in my day, but, uh, I'll always remember I got in trouble at the first tribal council. Cause I talked about like, when I, Hey, when I watched this on home, uh, on TV at home on, and they were like, Hey, we don't talk about like, we watched it on TV. You're here.

We're not talking about that. Like, Oh, okay. I got it. I didn't know. I had nobody told me. There was no meta to talk about. It was just like, you're not talking about that. Like, oh, okay. I got it. I didn't know. Nobody told me. There was no, there was no meta to talk about. It was just like, you're not on TV. You're on Survivor. And then everybody else is looking at you through some type of like television window.

But this is not a show. These cameras, these microphones. It's not a show. This is real. This is real life. Now Survivor is like, this is a show. All the people who are on the show have seen the show. They know the show. They've been to the show. they all have a story about when they started watching the show so pretending that it's not a show doesn't do survivor any favors lean into it and honestly i just couldn't think of a cooler moment for any one single survivor player who's going to get eliminated like if you have to go out at least you get to be the face of the episode yeah beginning uh like you bookend it you know open it and then even close it by hosting tribal council okay so there was the big moment where jeff says

to rome okay hey uh rome boy that oh you don't like the advantage why don't you sit in the chair and explain it and it doesn't really take much like uh rome's like no no no i don't think so you know he's like he's like oh you sure okay i'm in uh jumps up sits in jeff's chair and takes over for jeff now some people did not like this okay so it might bloom posted on twitter uh survivor take your child to work day chrissy hofbeck said this moment was a disrespect to the game. Nothing against the person in the chair or the person standing next to it, but dot, dot, dot, no. You know, I can see the ire, right? Because it's so against everything that Survivor used to be. It's so anti-Survivor

to have someone sitting in Jeff's chair. It's almost like sacrilege, you know? So it's like, oh no, that's a specific chair. That's for one person only. Jeff is the guy who can do this. But Jeff is having a good time. Jeff is having a good time. And Rome is literally Rome the host. This is what he does. He does esports hosting. So he's dying for this opportunity. And I just thought it was really cool of Jeff to give him that. Again, Rob, in this situation, if Jeff tells you, first time you're playing Survivor, the ham that you are, you're soaking up all the TV time. You have more confessionals than any human in Survivor to that point.

You think you wouldn't have gotten that seat? Sure. I think I would have. Back in my day, I had to make a fake Jeff seat to act like Jeff. But I think that this is only done in the context of that Jeff knows he is walking out the door. That it is like a little bit of like a, it's giving like make a wish to this young man who's not going to be here for much longer. We're going to let him have a special moment. And Jeff knows this,

you know, that something bad is about to happen to him. Chappelle, it's kind of like, could you imagine this like on Game of Thrones where like somebody is like in the court and is like explaining something to like King Joffrey and Joffrey,

a different Joffrey, is like, oh, why don't you explain it to all of us Sidney please Sidney Iron Throne Sidney Iron Throne and why don't you explain it to us like okay what am I gonna do okay I'm gonna sit up here I'm gonna explain the whole thing all right advantages okay so you have these dragons dragons you know everybody knows uh there's magic in the seven kingdoms uh and you know that person is going to not make it to the end of the episode right that is true that is true but i i also i don't want to push back against that too much but i do think in this season where there's so many people who are like podcaster

adjacent that there's a non-zero chance this could happen to somebody who wasn't going home you think there's no world where rye would have been i mean or where jeff would have been like john love it do you want to talk to people? You have a podcast. You don't think John Lovett could have got that seat? I don't think that Jeff would have done it in the same way. I really, it's like, here's a moment that's like outside of the game for you, for your reel.

Let me give this to you. But I don't think he gives that to a person. That is still in the game, that's still a survivor. Gotcha. Well, yeah, you probably definitely aren't going to get all of the things. But we've seen moments like this before, kind of similar, right? Like I remember, I'm going back to the previously on part,

but you remember in Nicaragua where they're like, remember Sash? That is my favorite interest of any survivor season of all time because they're like they normally do like previously on survivor and jeff tells us everything but this particular time he goes previously on survivor have you ever met sash everything was going great for sash yeah but the world he says it was the sash sitcom andash goes all the way to the final travel council. I don't know why they just decide mid-season to just, let's spin the Sash narrative starting right now.

So I like when they highlight people like this and give them their moment. It could be a good thing for Rome. You know, this could be a big moment. I think that in the hot seat with so much pressure, the hot lights on in Jeff's seat with all his, you know, his castmates just watching on. He explained the problem with the advantage, you know. He wasn't wrong.

He wasn't wrong. He didn't lie. So, yeah, for Jeff to even be able to put himself in a situation where he says, okay, yeah, we might have screwed that up. Talk about it. Even though he knows Rome's going home, it's still a big moment for Jeff, too, because the old Jeff would not have done that.

You cannot convince me to believe Jeff would have given somebody a platform to kind of diss one of his twists. I just couldn't see that before. But it's almost like a bit where it's like, you know, Dr. Evil is like, okay, sit in the chair. And then it's like,

he's about to push the trap door button. You know, okay. You know, you sat in the chair. Yeah. The ejector seat. Yeah. I feel like that's a little bit of what it was. Yeah.

Listen, it could be both things. It was a trap. It was still fun. It was still fun. I think that if you were rooting against wrong, it's like, you know, it's the, like, you just waiting or salivating because you see it coming. You know, it's another one of those votes where we get a lot of the votes are pretty straightforward. We know exactly who they are. We've seen the Micronesia crew do that before to Eric Reichenbach where they're all just.

This is what we would call a life lesson. Exactly. This is the dumbest move that a survivor player has ever made ever. You know, those kind of moments. We had one again. It's been a while. I like it. I like when they do stuff like this. Yeah had one again. It's been a while. I like it. I like

when they do stuff like this. So I thought this was a great, a great, I mean, it could have been a potentially boring vote. I don't know how many ultimately, uh, Rome votes there were, if it was like, you know, nine to two to one or yeah, something like that. Uh, so it could have been a lopsided, boring vote and, you know, survivor did a lot to make this a fun episode of the show. If you have to go out, you either want to go out where everybody's like, that person was robbed and they were right and everybody should have listened to them. Or you want to go out in such a blaze of glory, you know, to where it's spectacular and people are always talking about it. That's why, despite Drew Christie being almost a nothing Survivor player, his name still comes up.

You know, it just, the moments, this is a television show. You want people to be remembered. You want people to go back and say, make sure you watch this episode. I think that's how you solidify yourself. You either, you know, you either win or you become a memorable survivor character.

And I think this is how you do it. Yep. Okay. So Rome was definitely feeling it going into tribal council that night. The fact there's 13 people in the game and I can corral this many people to vote my way. That must say a lot about how I'm playing the game. It does.

Uh, a lot was said. Absolutely does. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Um, but Rome was the person that said the most about how he was playing the

game. Chappelle, could you help me out with, with this reference that he talked about? He compared his game to basketball. This ain't even Magic vs. Larry. This is Michael Jordan vs. Kirk Heinrich. Well, why is Kirk Heinrich catching strays from Rome?

Of all the Bulls players to catch a stray, I don't know. Is Rome a big Chicago Bulls fan? I mean, he does wear a lot of red and black, but I don't know if that's from the casting of Survivor. Yeah. Like this. This makes sense. Yeah, I know. He was a Kobe guy. So I'm not sure. I don't get the sense that he's a Bulls fan. He might just be a basketball guy. Yeah. He might just be a basketball guy.

Listen, there are probably very few NBA fans today that are name dropping Kirk Heinrich in any situation. Of all the players who ever come across Michael Jordan's desk, I don't think this is the one that you go to if you don't know what you're talking about. So, yeah, I think that although he might be a Kobe guy, it sounds like a bit of a basketball historian. Maybe. All right. So, Chappelle, in the episode we saw that rome got into some trouble uh really trying to stir the pot uh and it was odd because he came into the merge and they had this um advantage that was hidden and there's a secret scene about how like hey i don't want to you know go too hard too fast'm not going to go out and look for the advantage and try to like, uh, get people threatened by me. Uh, but then he does a lot with Kyle, uh,

and he really like pumps Kyle for some information and then very freely distributes, uh, this information around to the rest of the tribe. Uh, he ends up going too far when he goes to Tiana and says that Kyle is saying that you're a threat. And then Tiana says that doesn't sound like Kyle, even though he may have said he did, you know, seemingly say that to Rome. And so Kyle fact checked, did not like this, really made it a mission to get Rome out. Damn, man. What a dick. What a dick. We speculated. We said, who could the dick be

in this episode? We saw the preview last episode and we said, okay, let's narrow it down. And we were like, it's Rome, right? It's Rome. Yeah. And so we assumed it could be Rome. There was some possible other options on the board, but I don't think anybody was shocked to find out that the big reveal here

was going to be Rome. Not to say that rome is a dick but throughout the season he's not if we were gonna do a dick draft a dick draft he's number one on the bullet yeah now chapelle that as a survivor historian is this the first time in Survivor history that a player has been referred to on the show as a dick. Damn, man. What a dick. What a dick. You know, it's hard to really say,

right? Because we've seen a lot of insults on Survivor. My favorites being like, who is this jackass? You know, those are my favorite moments where someone just kind of like, I won't say breaks character, but they just lose all decorum and how they're talking about somebody. I love those moments. But the insults that we get on Survivor are, you know, jackass. Hunter famously called them like they're a bunch of knuckleheads.

Like these are the words we typically hear on Survivor. a bunch of knuckleheads like these are the words we typically hear on survivor i cannot recall another time where a contestant what that they allowed it into the show that somebody was called a dick damn man what a dick it sounds like a dave ball insult like something he would have said you know like he feels like the kind of person to be just like a little crass uh and be like god where did that come from um so russell hans played three times you mean to tell me nobody called him a dick i mean it wasn't in the show that's what this is where it's the new era rewind the tape i need to i need to verify there's no way um yeah we're i wasn't shocked by this but i kind of was shocked about how it happened. Because from my point of view, I watched the scene and it felt like Rome and Kyle were talking.

They're under the stars. It's their first night at the merge or whatever, not the merge. And they're getting to know each other. And Rome is like pumping Kyle for information to potentially use it later on. And Kyle is giving him personal information that's not game related. So there's personal information and there's personal game information, Rob. And I think he was just giving him personal information, just talking, vibing. Who do you think could win on the game? Oh, I think Sam could be a good threat. Oh, how do you feel about Tiana?

Yeah, she'd obviously be a threat at some point. I mean, we're mostly threats. What about Sue and Caroline? Yeah, they have a mother-daughter relationship. And, you know, like, there we get challenges. Oh, okay, cool. And then Rome runs it back. threats what about sue and caroline yeah they have a mother sister mother daughter relationship and you know like their weekend challenges oh okay cool and then rome runs it back and kyle's like wait wait i actually wasn't strategizing in that moment like it's like kyle had stopped playing the game and rome is a gamer who never stops playing the game so i think that's why kyle

was offended he's like you weren't supposed to use that you know like that was just us vibing that was bros being bros like now all of a sudden you're running back and trying to put a target on my back and unfortunately going to tiana was not the best thing because although it could seem like kyle has turned on her mathematically it doesn't make sense for kyle to turn on her uh he has no one else on the tribe essentially you know gabe caroline and sue are the big three over there um kyle and tiana were well tiana they picked her up to get rid of TK. Kyle was the one who was left completely out of the boat. Why would he be putting a target on Tiana?

So yeah, I think for her, she was like, yeah, he's coming after me. That doesn't make sense because if anything, I should be his number one. Like where else is he going except for to me? So yeah, she had to call him on it and it started to snowball. Yeah, and I don't think that Kyle,

while he might've said those things, he's not actually targeting Tiana. Like it's just like stream of consciousness of like, you know, that he just rums asking him questions and he's just like giving his thoughts on things. But Shabelle, what'd you think of how Survivor did this? Because this was still

earn the merge according to jeff boom stop it stop it just stop it just stop it i've been seeing people on twitter facebook everybody's like it's just not the merge yeah yeah we i hear everybody jeff come on man does tyler per got to text you for you to see? Just stop it. Stop playing on our faces. You know, and look, everybody's happy with this too, Jeff. That's the other thing. Everybody's happy.

Matter of fact, Jeff, call it whatever you want. Call it whatever you want. Everybody's happy. As long as you don't bring back the hourglass and start messing up stuff again, we're fine. You don't even got to call it the merger more. Remember when they call it the merger? Bring that back if you want to spice things up. Well, I'm trying not to complain about it too much

because I feel like we got what we wanted, right? We got what we wanted. What does it matter what he's talking about? Why do we have to complain? Like, hey, Jeff, just so you know, this was not the merge. Or this was not earned the merge. If he is happy

and we're happy, he can call it whatever. He can call it whatever he wants. Although I said, boo, Jeff, we know what you're doing, but also, don't change. Never change. This is good. This is good. Because if he had brought out that hourglass, everybody would have been like, oh my god!

People would have started to cry. There would have been people like... It would have been pandemonium. All right. You know, so this is fine. They're earning the merge. Yeah. Kind of.

Yeah. Chappelle, did you have any thoughts on, you know, we had the big competition and then we got down to individual immunity. Kyle, after all this wins individual immunity. Did you have any thoughts on this season's new immunity necklace yeah um people were saying spirit halloween party party party city type of vibes yeah look at it i mean yeah hot topic i could see you rocking this necklace you could not see me rocking that necklace you could not see me that necklace is actually it's amazing like it's it's a really cool necklace it's also terrifying um it's interesting cause that he has a bat tattoo on his back yeah um he didn't explain he didn't say

exactly what that is um but he does look like very at home with this uh this this immunity this is this is a memorable immunity necklace i'm trying not to say that it's ugly because i don't think it is do they sell replicas of these this is a replica of something like this is definitely plastic and i could see it on somebody's front lawn uh in about a you know a few days on halloween you know this would be a great sketch of like just let's just send people out into the wild wearing various survivor immunity necklaces. Like, uh,

just put Kyle on the subway wearing this. Like, uh, how many second looks would he get? It depends on, it depends on what city he's on the subway in New York. No, one's going to flinch.

Uh, like this is not going to move the needle. I've, I've been in New York roughly four times and I've seen way worse than this this i think i might have actually seen that actual bat on the subway um yeah but if you crop this and sent it to 100 people they couldn't tell you what show it was yeah you know like um are you watching some type of uh ritualistic you know whatever like no it's survivor it's just so interesting like what happened to the bat okay so i understand like to the bat? I understand the bat has a skeleton from the little bit of biology that I know.

But why has the main meat of the bat, the body of the bat, has decomposed to a skeleton? Wings have remained incredibly intact. Why did the wings get taxidermied

and the body did not? it's clearly a zombie right this is a dead bat like it's obviously dead but like it still has wings um it's like a pokemon or something you know this is definitely something we should be paying attention to also it might be cursed spooky scary right right you know omer invented spooky scary you know he doesn't want to he's trying to trademark that he's being survivor taking it and run with it he's gonna he's gonna hit you with a cease and desist for your spooky scary before genevieve he said he invented it he said he's the first human to say those those two words back to back. And I just but not just maybe Genevieve overheard him in Canada saying that. Maybe, you know, it's a small place, small town that Canada.

But he claims he claims that's his. I wouldn't be shocked if this immunity necklace is cursed. Let's track it. You know, let's see what happens to Kyle after this, because he didn't have a vote. Well, he gets he gets the he gets the immunity necklace at the time where he needed it. And this is good because now he can put the, you know, the target on Rome like he likes to. I just thought it was very interesting, though, the whole situation, because he does go back and he tells everybody, I'm what? I'm the most honest idiot out here or something like that. Right. Did he say he's called a dumbass? Yeah, I'm the I'm the I'm the most honest dumbass out here or something like that right did he say he's called a dumbass yeah yeah i'm the i'm the uh the most honest dumbass out here and now in that moment i thought no i mean not

necessarily you know i think you want people to think that you know i think that was a very uh astute thing for him to do is like i'm too dumb to come up with something like that are you crazy kyle is trying to play the game as well he's throwing rome under the bus but it's not like he's not in game mode once he activates from hearing Rome telling his personal game business to other people. Yeah. Okay. So let's talk a little bit about then

where Kyle was headed after all of this, that he got to go and visit the merge feast. Okay. The winner's feast in this case. And everybody got to go eat and then have a big meal. And Chappelle, it was all about. This is the year of charcuterie on CBS reality TV.

It's having a big year. It's having a big year. Like somewhere, Angela from Big Brother just like fist pumped because she's the biggest fan of charcuterie that there ever was.

I should be out there. She did say she would play Survivor, Rob. Like this is their last little... Are you freaking kidding me? Yeah, this is their last little... They're eating my charcuterie stuff? They're dangling the carrot, Rob.

They need Angela to help fly. They said, okay, eating my charcuterie stuff? They're dangling the carrot, Rob. They need Angela to help plow. They said, okay, sprinkle some charcuterie on this season and see what happens. See if she'll come back from the Big Brother streets. But, Chappelle, this secretly could be BB26 coded. Because not only do we conjure the spirit of Angela and the charcuterie stuff, but we found out earlier this season, something about Sam. Sam has not had many different fruits and vegetables.

And he was able to try one of the fruits that was on the table. Sam, for the first time, tried a pineapple. Breaking news. Sam's a pineapple guy. Okay. All right. pineapple breaking news sam's a pineapple guy okay hey all right get get sweet kenny k on the line this is live on youtube rob how far do you want to go down this wormhole this isn't about this

isn't the payoff can we go halfway we can put the tip in okay um i think that this is a very interesting turn of events, you know, because we will see that in this season, we have two people who are seemingly in a relationship outside of the game being accused of being a relationship inside the game. But real pineapple enthusiasts know that you could have a clause where maybe those two things can mix and match. You can swap, you can, you know, these things don't have to be separate. You can interchange these things, especially with the spirit of the pineapple in mind. The spirit of the pineapple is involved. And again, Sam, he's never had a pineapple before. Maybe he doesn't know the connotations of saying on national television, hey, breaking news, everybody. Turns out I am a pineapple guy. We might need another one of... This is ridiculous.

I am engaged. Hannah, babe, if you're watching this... Hey, babe, if you're watching this, when I said I was a pineapple guy, I didn't mean it like that. Just so everybody knows. Yeah, unless you're down, in which case we can talk about it.

You know what I'm saying? Hey, I just want to let everybody know when I said I was a pineapple guy, that was... Yeah. Unless you're down, in which case we can talk about it. I just want to let everybody know when I said I was a pineapple guy, that was... Yeah. When I was at the grocery store with my groceries, right? And I was stopping by and I stopped by and I grabbed my pineapple and I put it right there in the little front seat of the buggy. And then I grabbed the bottle of squirt and then i grabbed the the hot dogs and the bananas and like all this it was definitely just me shopping it was definitely nothing else yeah okay breaking news i'm a pineapple guy don't tweet that i might tweet that it feels like it feels like right you know like i'm not saying that i'm a pineapple guy but i

could be convinced breaking news news. Breaking news. I love it because he says it like his mouth is still full of pineapple. He bit it. Wow. Oh, my God. This is delicious. What have I been missing? This changes everything.

Wow. Honey, I swear, I'm a pineapple guy now. We're making some changes at home. This is good for him. I like this. We got to give him a pineapple guy now. We're making some changes at home. This is good for him. I like this. We got to give him a try more foods. Okay, something else about the Merge Feast that we got to see. A lot of people were wondering about this. Ciara answered this question on Twitter because, look, the Survivors, other than Genevieve, look like that, boy, still very dirty at the merge feast.

And so this question was asked to Sierra that she was asked by somebody. Do they tell you you can't dip in the ocean or wash the mud off before the feast? Everybody's so hungry you don't care. She said, we literally begged to rinse off before eating because of how gross we felt, dot, dot, dot. But that was a hard no. Which is crazy, right? Lucy, Lucy, Jeff.

Who's this for? Yeah, Lucy, Lucy, Jeff is doing whatever he wants. You can sit in my chair. You can narrate the episode. You can do this. You can do that. What do you want?

He's passing out. Last season, wasn't he passing out snacks at Tribal Council? Here's a popcorn. Here's this. Here's's that these people are like can please sir can we please wash the dirt from our from our lord no yeah no yeah no yeah could we get can i get a wet nap please please for the love of god can i just please touch the water no water for you you eat the charcuterie and you're going to like it.

Have an assorted meat, peasant. You're like, oh my God, but it tastes like mud. Do you want the food or not? You weren't complaining about that when you were stealing rice, were you? You want to eat? Now eat. I'll take it. Please, Jeffrey. For the love of God.

Also, Rob, I don't like that people are calling this the merge feast. This is not the merge feast. A reward? He owes these people a meal. He owes these people a meal because he said they had to earn the merge. They had not earned the merge yet. You cannot give some people charcuterie and say this is the merge feast. Feed those people.

You've been snatching rice out of people's hands and stuff like that all season. Give those people some real food. And let them get get in the water they can get in the water and rinse off stop being stop being a jerk yeah i don't know like uh the visual's not that exciting uh too much it's not just going through he's not like uh like he's having a conflict right now i think we're gonna look back we're gonna look back at these new era, and we're really going to find Jeff kind of in limbo, trying to decide, who am I? Am I like, you know, Jeff, who takes no nonsense, takes no guff, no, you can't negotiate, no, you can't do this. Yeah, spicy Jeff. Or am I, you know, Jeff that wants to give these new people a chance, you know, really welcoming to the Surviv community you know you know make make the

show a little bit more fun i think he's gonna have to choose and i think survivor 50 might be where he plants his flag well i think it's hard for uh jeff to because because jeff wears multiple hats you know uh there's jeff the producer and there's jeff the host and i i think that like uh jeff the host wants to be spicy Jeff. I think that he wants to like, Hey, I'm not taking any guff from you guys or, or you. And I am going to be like laying down the law, spicy Jeff. Nobody's getting one over on me. But I also think the producer, Jeff, he's working in casting like that.

I think he's very excited. Jeff, he's working in casting like that. I think he's very excited. He is like a proud dad about these people that they find. And then he meets these people and is very involved with the casting and every step of the way of interviewing all these people. And he wants to shine, like give them a spotlight in the best possible light. So I think that to a person i think that he is very much like wanting to like uh you know do right by these people that they have ripped out of their lives to bring to fiji to put on television but i do think that uh he does not want anybody like taking advantage of him and wants the audience to feel like he's laying down the law it, it is like a little bit of a tight rope that he has to walk. Yeah. But I want him to figure out who he is. You know, like I want Jeff to, to, to be Jeff, you know, I want Jeff at survivor 50 to be a character that we know,

you know, this unpredictable Jeff where today he could do this today. We could do that. Even that could be a personality, right? Where we're like, Oh, you know, Jeff expect the unexpected, you know, he might get, he might get that cnd from uh julie chin but the thing is you got uh jeff who we thought was okay no nonsense he said it like i'm not playing that anymore and we've seen some really big moments don't make me get my knife but now it's like all right you can sit in my seat you know it's all good you know like i i have to be hard on you because i love you you know it depends on the day you feeling lucky punk yeah see that's what I would like

I want Jeff to start saying try me so whenever they ask for something they show it can we please jump in the water try me you're lucky I'm in a good mood today see what happens flip a coin he's like two faced flip his coin no you can't get in the water

they already have Batman they do we can do this don do we can we can do this don't don't do this we can do this jeff could be two-faced okay chapelle also at the merge reward somebody was having a lot of fun for one player it was chapelle o'lock at the Merge Reward. Hey, Teenie. Teenie? Teenie was having the best time. Teenie, I can't have you getting too drunk here. You got to get all of it together through tribal for me. Okay.

Chappelle, how closely did you monitor Teenie's sobriety the rest of the day? I was looking for moments, right? And I don't think I really got them. I love, I've talked about this before. I love anytime a player gets drunk on Survivor because it makes no sense. It's definitely the last thing you should be doing. You have not eaten, you don't have your faculties already. We see that people are just like, it's really hard to think out here just from lack of food, lack lack of sleep and the alcohol or wine or whatever is going to really take its toll on you and so we've seen that manifest itself in plenty of different ways across seasons you yourself as well famously uh and so for this when teeny like is down in the bottle like just taking it to the head i was like

yeah teeny go go go go go and then i'll say okay now we're going to have a moment where Teenie is stumbling over the words or whatever. And I'm just like, I don't think we got it. I don't think I got enough. You know, I want to see Teenie doing the Davey, like pouring the drink on the head. Or like Uncle Carl just like getting drunk with power and walking around like, no, I'll vote you out, damn it. You know, that's the kind of stuff I like to see

from my drunk survivor. Yeah, definitely a lot of great drunk moments uh big tom that was somebody else though who uh drank a lot like they gave us in survivor all stars just like a bottle of like i don't know what it was uh it was like scotch. They just sent us a bottle of scotch at a reward. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And he just drank it all one day. As he should have. Or even, was it Bob Dog

getting drunk and then passing out in Casa de Charmin? That's the kind of stuff that I like. So I was like, no, Teeny, if you're going to get drunk, make it a show. I thought it was a very fun moment. Give the survivors more alcohol. The alcohol causes as many problems

as the chickens. If we brought the chickens back, bring back giving the survivors alcohol. Yeah. I totally agree. I totally agree. Like I said, it was a fun moment. It's too tempting for them. It was a cool character moment for Teenie. I thought it was, but we didn't get like a follow-up.

We don't get Teenie even just being like, oh, I'm hungover or nothing like that. You know what I'm saying? So I like it. And some seasons, you get survivors getting drunk multiple times. I actually think there was multiple times in David vs. Goliath where Carl and Davey were indulging. And so, yeah, I would like to see more of that.

But yeah, this is a good episode for Teenie for sure. So it's a new year. You know what that means, setting big goals. Maybe you promised yourself you're gonna hit the gym every day, or maybe you said you're gonna learn to make fire with a flint for once, or the classic, save more money.

View Shepel, I want to go back to Andy. And he's somebody who came into the episode really feeling like very high at the or on a high on higher high uh coming in to the start of the episode and uh he was talking about the anika tribal council he said this tribal council sucks not not are we bringing it back chapelle oh baby andy it's like remember 96 yeah psych i love it i'm so excited uh and andy move x-flex yeah he's feeling so good uh he says like uh like oh it was as fun as hell blindsiding annika but by the end of the episode he realizes that oh wait i was the backup plan yeah a little bit of a blindside for andy too right um not as big if you're gonna get blindsided that's a small way to be blindside where you're like hey

something's a fishy something's a little off it's way better than getting blindsided and just out of the game yeah so you know being blindsided is is okay, look. Okay, so here's the thing. I've been thinking about Baby Andy's position in the game for a while now because I'm like, okay, does Baby Andy have what it takes to go ahead and run this thing? Can he do it? And I was like, Baby Andy, and I think he's talked about this in interviews and stuff like that, that his superpower is his self-awareness.

He knows where he stands in the tribe. But I think it's because he keeps screwing up. It's really easy to know where you stand when you're putting yourself at the bottom. In the original iteration of the tribe with the John Lovett blow up, he's immediately at the bottom with John Lovett because he has his big meltdown and stuff like that. There's really no way he can get out of that. So for episodes, Annika and Rachel are just snowed because they think that he's at the bottom. He knows he's at the bottom. So he's clawing his way out of the bottom the entire time.

So when he's out of the bottom, he knows now definitively I'm not in the bottom. He even goes into this fake merge knowing people probably think I'm at the bottom because of my meltdown. And then I'm not great at challenges and stuff like that. meltdown and then I'm not great at challenges and stuff like that. We find out that he gets picked last in the schoolyard pick, which will also confirm that he's maybe not the highest on people's list that they want to be on the team with and stuff like that. So in these moments, baby Andy, it's confirmed like, okay, I need to work. There are people who I need to be working with. Whereas a lot of people, they don't like, you know, I think survivors have been saying like lately, you need to go to tribal council because you need to see who is voting with you for real, because you don't want them to be.

They've already flipped by the time you need them. Maybe Andy knows who's not working with him at all times until this moment. Maybe Andy does not get let in on the plan. I think it's a very curious choice for them to really allow baby Andy to be the backup decision anyway. to be the backup decision anyway. Like, ask some questions for Sam. But at the same time, when he realizes it, at that moment, he's like,

Sam, did you, like, I'm the backup. Sam's like, I don't know. He's like, okay, now, baby Andy, what do you do with that? You saw, we saw the same thing you saw.

Now, what do you do? Are you saying that I'm in a good spot where, like, I don't really feel threatened even though I was the backup plan? Or, I was the backup plan, thus they think I'm expendable. If Ron plays a shot in the dark

or some type of idol, I go home. That's not okay. Do I start to make another move? I think that this could be a turning point for baby Andy. Yeah, I've said like it's hard to come up with a different name there for Sam that Rachel is there.

So I'm not sure necessarily who else you throw out of the people that weren't there. I mean, um, I think you also risk alienating like the Tuku people, uh, by throwing out one of their names. And so you had also, uh, Genevieve, uh, Genevieve was there with, with Saul back at the camp. I'm not sure. Uh, yeah, Saul was on the try. So I guess you could throw out Saul, but I don't know. i think that maybe sam was just feeling like because we see him talking to saul he actually says to saul like hey i'd rather keep you around than andy but he might have been just saying that to saul to keep him from feeling good i just think the mistake was not giving andy the heads up that you know that you're gonna get some votes tonight yeah and and it wasn't like sam brought up baby andy's name

i think that again i think it was sue i think sue brought up yeah but that's the thing most of the people think that baby andy's on the bottom so they're like sue is like so it's andy right like we get with andy y'all clearly don't have any issue losing andy right he's a loose cannon he you can't saw you know um what are you doing he got picked last i'm here and so he can't be me so how about the other person's big last and like you said if rachel's there he can't be like actually we kind of hate rachel yeah and go you know also in 46 we saw that when you push back too hard on a name and it's like oh we have to get this person out now because you're you know oh you don't want to give up mariah okay let me write that down we saw that in this season you know they claimed that uh because asia wouldn't turn on saw you know

even though they could have voted out saw without asia they're like still you weren't willing to you weren't willing to cut his throat so you gotta go it's like okay why don't you just cut his throat you know um so i think that there's something to that uh but yeah you're right i think you fix that by going and telling and, look, maybe if you do, what is there anything we can do to make you feel more comfortable? Cause they're going to vote for you. Maybe we, maybe we split the vote at that point. You know what I'm saying?

Like baby Andy is the backup option, but they didn't necessarily have to be, you know, Sierra, baby Andy and Sam could all vote for somebody else. Now there's three votes on somebody else. Rome gets the rest of the votes. And then those two votes land on baby Andy, or it would only be one voted. No, it would be, it there's three votes on somebody else. Rome gets the rest of the votes. And then those two votes land on baby Andy. Or it would only be one voted. No, it would be,

it would be two votes on baby Andy. So yeah, they could have flipped this. They could have done something. They just didn't want to. And so I was like, all right, now what?

And so I'm very interested to see what happens next. So Chappelle, everybody was looking for the advantage this week. We saw that it was Genevieve. Well, some people, a lot of people were looking for the advantage this week. It was Genevieve.

That was, that was the person that found it. But meanwhile, in the midst of the advantage hunt, there was a lot of evidence that was found regarding Sue's previous advantage that she found where the red paint fell out of the tree. All of a sudden, everybody was hot on the trail of the red paint yeah this is this is the gift that keeps on giving yeah because when it first happened and she was like i bit my tongue and okay yeah something's weird something's off but then for

it to come back around what happenstance right that they just happen to merge on this exact beach they could emerge anywhere else they're like no y'all the producers knew they knew what they were doing here where the red paint is and we're not going to give you any clues about where this advantage is we're gonna say just search the entire forest for something that looks out of place so they're like oh okay i guess i'll do that it was kind of brilliant yeah god i mean a stroke of genius said all right where should we hide the advantage advantage just put it in the ocean they'll look in the wood they'll look in the woods we'll get a lot more from that what advantage we might even knew something was coming chapelle

because uh that which they said oh they're coming to our camp they'll they're gonna search my bag like what why what the hell is she talking about i I was so confused by this. So, let's say, okay, we have merch. Yay! Alright. Blue Tribe, empty your bags. What? What do you mean? Empty your bags. Why? We're here. We gotta make sure nobody has eyes.

I'm like, well, empty ours. Everybody don't say stuff out. Your turn. It's like, oh god. She empties it out. Okay. So it looks like you have Idol in there, but it's not covered in paint. You're you're good it's like she was like i need to wash it in case they in case it was why why does it need to be clean i i still don't understand the i don't understand the solution here for like oh okay she's got an idol but at least it's not covered in paint yeah i don't know if she was just sort of like thinking it through in her head of like oh that there's the red paint that i i have the thing with red paint so they're gonna end up going

through my bag i don't know if she like had made like a mental leap that just that we were not clued in on like sue what is this like um that's that's just something i found on the on the island oh really because it's red. Like, ah! It's like, all right, Sue, come on, man. Why should you get, how about you just go hide it? You know they're coming. If they're going to check your bag, I have an idea. Put it somewhere else.

Yeah. Yeah, how about that? How about you go bury it somewhere that's not covered in red paint? You know, you've been here longer than everybody else. You just put it wherever you want it to be you know what i'm saying um so yeah we end up on this um this like um who done it or like mystery thing where they're all like looking around like jinkies we found this this this pottery it's covered in paint oh my god there's paint over there and the whole time caroline and uh tiana looking at each other like okay all right this is starting to make sense now. I see what this is.

But how long do you think it takes to get a bunch of Survivor players to get off the scent of that? Because you find broken pottery covered in red paint in a forest and someone's telling you there's an advantage out here. And the people are just like, nah, I'm tired of looking at it. That would be the biggest clue that you could get. Well, I think that the good news it. Like that would be like the biggest clue that you could get. Well, I think that the good news for Sue is that a lot,

this is a time in the game when a lot of stuff is going to start happening. So they end up, they have that like one random day of like doing nothing, just looking about the advantage. So sure. Big topic of conversation, but then they had the reward challenge and the,

and the immunity challenge. And then they went to tribal council. And then I think that these, this next episode, it seems like from some of the promos that it's going to be the split tribe twist where we're going to do six and six, and that's going to be like a whole, like one day.

So a lot of stuff is going to have happened and maybe there's a chance for Sue. They kind of forget about this stuff. Yeah. And Caroline does know that Sue has this thing. So maybe she can run interference a little bit. I loved Caroline telling Sue that she had it first. Caroline's like, I'm so proud of Sue. She's doing it. She's out here playing survivor. Look at her. Let me go tell, let me go tell my girl that I'm in on the joke.

Hey, you good with me you good with me sue and sue's like why say sue come on say what sue the red paint yeah your bag you were cleaning a random item earlier i know what's going on so it's like i don't know what you're talking about girl yeah okay cool because i trust you completely it's like all right thank you why didn't you tell me do they need to tell tiana tiana is definitely suspicious about it and but we've also seen tiana like just like spilling the beans like oh gabe he's out there looking for idols you can't trust him sue has no reason to trust Tiana None She watched her throw She watched her throw Gabe under the bus Like and right in front of her

Like Hey I'm right here Like I'm working with Gabe We We're aligned And Tiana's like I don't care

I want him out So yeah If Sue is aligned with Gabe She has no reason to tell Tiana anything If anything They should be probably targeting Tiana As the person who Has Sue's secret

You know Tiana could be on the chopping block now because if i'm sue and i don't want to get caught red-handed for lack of a better word you want to get rid of one of the the key witnesses here and uh tiana knows where the bodies were buried literally yeah all right well then is tiana the patsy that they should vote out because then if she knows too much that's when you pull the people to the side and you say hey didn't want to say anything but i did see tiana with red paint on her hands the other day you know because you have the entire look you have the majority here everybody on the blue tribe could just gaslight everybody like you y'all remember that day we saw tiana with that red paint yeah that's crazy t crazy. Tiana had red paint on her. Tiana's like, I didn't have red paint.

Sure, girl, sure. Who you going to believe, us or you? You know, they could really make her the fall person for this and then get away with it scot-free. Yeah. Okay, we'll see what happens there. One other thing about Sue from this episode. Let me share that Sue and Saul are later days cast members currently in the season.

Okay. Yeah. Look, they might be the oldest, but hey, Chappelle, they're looking good. Okay. Yeah, I'm 42. You're 45. I'm 42. We look good.

45 and 42. We do. Right? I don't want to put a target on my back Yeah Saw ass Saw is Lying through those big old pearly white teeth

He says, she said, I'm 45 He said, I'm 42, oh you're 45 And I'm 42, and I'm 40 You're 45 and I'm 42 Got it You can see though, the wheels turning in his head. There's an advantage out there. What the hell, guys?

What the hell, guys? I love it. I'm 45. I'm 42. You're 45. I'm 42. We're 45 and 42. The two of us.

You're 45 and I'm 42. Like your age, you're 45 years old. We look good for 45 and 42. I think that this is a scenario that we are not really prepared for in life. And maybe you have a different lived experience, but like, I feel like in real life, we don't meet a lot of people that are just blatantly lying about their age. Have you come across that? No, not really. No mean bryce but like you don't really meet a person that's like uh you know a certain age

you know and it's like yeah i'm uh i'm i'm 22 scally scally swears he's 25 yeah scally scally stop it yeah stop it yeah i don't think we ever were trained on how to deal with that no no one is trained and it's just it's such a uh like it's it's like the lie is not a good lie because like sue she she she looks very good for her age but also she's like i'm a grandma and stuff like that. Like, so it's kind of like, it's like the, like you can be a grandma at 45 for sure. But if you're walking around, like being like the grandma,

people are not going to give the grandma title to 40, like to a 45 year old. It's like, well, Laura Moret was a grandma at 45, you know, but she wasn't like, I'm a grandma.

She was like, I'm Laura Moret. I'm the, I'm the hot mom, you know? And so Sue was giving like, I'm the granny. And so when people come to her um and her reaction is like no we're about the same age people like

but i've talked to other people and they definitely tell her that you have like you know your other your lived experience doesn't line up with a 42 year old tell people, hey, I'm 45. Yeah. Like, I'm not 45. I'm a carpenter. I do tile. You know? Just start blatantly lying and then just, like, switching up. And they're like, no, no, I'm joking. I'm totally 45.

Chappelle, this happens a lot on reality TV where people just, like, say that they're a different age. Like, Bowie Jane last season on Big Brother 25. say that they're a different age like uh bowie jane last season on big brother 25 bowie jane lied about her age and then had two people who two women who were older than her laughing at her completely about her age bro jane's like what'd she say i was 38 or something like that i forgot what something like that yeah and and uh felicia and sari who are both in their 50s, are like, okay, ma'am. And Boyd J is like, no, really? I'm in my 30s. They're like, okay, sure.

And to the point where finally Felicia's like, I think she older than me. Hell. I said, no. Okay, ma'am. Stop it. She ain't older than you. But it is something that you don't want to put a target on your back. You don't want people to say, well, you're older.

Thus, you are weaker or you're older. Thus, we can't let you get to the end because you are going to have a cool story or you got grandkids. You got more need for this. You want to put yourself in the same. You want to be as like relatable as possible. Right. There's nothing that can separate you from everybody else. So Sue's doing the right thing. What is it buying her that she's uh 58 and telling people she's 45 no i'm not saying the lie is the right thing why is the wrong thing

but i think that trying to make herself fit in a little bit more is the right idea why do you have to lie about the age i think maybe she's down there that it's just like it wouldn't be a good thing to be uh that much older than everybody else but i feel like honestly sue the pre-merge is where you have to worry about that right like the pre-merge is where we're like we want to vote out the weak people because we need to keep the tribe strong we need to vote out the older people we see that time and time again now you've made the merge like hey i'm older i lied everybody i'm not 45 i'm 65 yeah and everybody's like what it's like 65 you're like yeah i'm 65 and honestly i'm not 45 i'm 65 yeah and everybody's like what it's like 65 you're like yeah i'm 65 and honestly not really good at these challenges you know i'm a you know frank i might

be 70 right i look i'm very old uh i'm just here to play the game i'm just here for the experience you know you can lean into the other side of the good things that are about being older when you get further and survivor i also found her interesting that she was so offended that Kyle said that she was bad at challenges. It's like, what? I'm not, I'm not. I'm like, so yes, you are. I'm really bad at, I'm really bad at challenges. I lack core strength, balance, all kinds of things necessary. And I can't make a fire. I totally can't make a fire.

Like this is your jam. This is, he's giving you the perfect cover. The bad spot is the thing he told the truth about which is you and caroline have a mother and daughter relationship that's what you should be stomping out but i don't even know her what are you talking about i don't even talk to my daughter okay what she's not mother daughter relationship i'm only 45 yeah you think i'm old i said that we have a mother and daughter relationship yeah not shut that down you don't want people being like well caroline and sue I said that we have a mother and daughter relationship. Yeah. Not. Shut that down. You don't want people being like, well, Caroline and Sue are obvious parents. They're like mother and daughter.

How is that possible? She's only 45. Rob, that's like you and me and my father. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. I mean, unless you're secretly you know a grandpa i don't know do you have a kid do you want to be a grandpa

that can be arranged yeah okay so but sue in fairness to sue that sue was a second to kyle in the challenge right see she proved that she She proved that she's not bad in challenges. But also, you're proving that you're not bad in challenges. That's the thing about Survivor. Yeah, sure, you want to win. But also, if you go that far, you have to win. You have to win at that point because if we can't get Kyle, who's our next biggest threat to win immunity?

It might be Sue. Okay. Chappelle, I want to get your take on a uh old school uh survivor feud okay all right okay so let me start this off let's go to the social media and uh oh it's an internet feud okay all right so randy bailey okay of course uh you know great randy bailey uh that he tweeted out if selected for survivor 50 uh i promise my loyal fans that every time jeff probst yells come on in i will follow with yelling guys at the top of my lungs randy's about 45 bro yeah yeah i could see it okay so all right.

So Randy also said, like, if you're on Survivor and they're, you know, asking you to do a confessional about how you're running the game, you're going home tonight. So Randy's tapped into these episodes. And so then Randy's tweet was responded to by Russell Hance, who said, Why do these people follow each other? You would think that Russell Hance and Randy would be far away from each other at any given point. He said, oh, you basically quit for season 20.

So relax, old man. Oof. That's not how we saw it. Yeah. Right? oof that's not how we saw it yeah right he was like um uh if you know good luck to you if you win the game i'll meet you at a club condo with a beer or something like that right uh randy bailey randy bailey gave it his best shot who's what y'all was about to work with randy bailey russell really stop it stop it randy knew he was out of luck. Yeah, why is Randy piling on? Why is Russell piling on Randy?

I feel like that in the Rob versus Russell feud, I feel like that Randy had always historically been more anti-Rob. Why is Russell piling on? And it's funny, too. When they have that kind of friendship, they can, like, neg each other. Like, you know, you basically quit. It's like, you know me. I basically quit.

You got to go vote. I don't think so i don't think russell was like not yeah not yeah um yeah it's very interesting because it also has nothing to do with what randy's talking about he's just like like don't do any confessionals about such and such uh you know i mean if anything randy's making a joke about like uh you know survivor and the new era and uh being too woke and uh russell this is like russell's wheelhouse why why are you picking on randy in this spot there can only be one um and that's my lane yeah shut up old man russell's about your own material Yeah It is a weird spot for them to be fan I don't even like that little joke

Yeah Nah, just kidding, I loved it Look, baby, Andy's bringing it back I'm excited It's a very interesting feud, for sure But it doesn't, like I said, it's coming out of nowhere Who wants to see the Randy Russell fight? I was was like okay grandpa sit this one out yeah all right uh the survivor alumni beef uh is building all right if you got to pick two it two other like

survivor players to just randomly be from the old era who would you pick classics legends that we you can't bring back the old beef. Or more new, because Randy and Russell, this is new beef. We need new beef, Rob. A new title card. Yeah. For our pay-per-view called Survivor,

new beef, Survivor series. They got to be people that are on social media, right? Yes. Or we can bring them to social media. It doesn't necessarily have to be. Just give me like a, there's a random fight you would like to see. Okay. I mean, I feel like that Eliza is always one to mix it them to social media. It doesn't necessarily have to be. Just give me like a, there's a random fight you would like to see. Okay.

I mean, I feel like that Eliza is always one to mix it up on social media. Yeah. But I feel like that's too easy. You know, anybody, I can, I can get in a few with Eliza and I love her.

She seems great. But like, you know, I can get in a few with Eliza right now if I wanted to. The problem is that there's only so many people from the old era, like that are on social media and active okay so we got scout yeah who do we want scout beefing with right now and they can't realize it is scout on social media are you kidding me yeah i don't follow very closely

listen scout being a woman of you know a little bit above 45 she's not really on twitter but she's taking facebook by storm this lady is out of control sure the face i mean facebook could be a whole different uh ball yeah that's a whole that's a whole different thing yeah you're like scout versus kobe uh kobe yeah just like uh yeah just something who's very active on facebook Kobe yeah just like uh yeah just something just randomly who's very active on Facebook yeah that'll work that'll work for sure okay yeah all right

Chappelle anything else on your mind around uh Survivor heading into the individual portion of the game I like the individual portion I always like this part because uh as they told us in this episode this is where they graduate from Survivor High School yeah what did you think of that oh yeah that uh speaking of as they told us in this episode, this is where they graduate from survivor to survivor high school. Yeah.

What did you think of that? Oh yeah. And that, uh, speaking of Gabe, okay. Uh, let me just,

I guess if we're talking about a little bit of the, the social media beef, um, Gabe had a little bit of a spicy, uh, post, uh, towards Rome that people were talking about.

Uh, what do you think of this post that was from Gabe who posted to Instagram Hope Jeff's seat was comfy, followed by a screenshot of all the Rome votes. Is this like a Randy and Russell

beef where they're like, ah, you know, I was like messing with you. You feel like this is just like a real jab at Rome. I don't know. you feel like this is just like a real jab at rome i don't know and i feel like gabe and rome had seemingly no um you know interpersonal conflict in the entire show yeah i don't know i don't know i've been listening to rome's exit press and this is a little spicy it's a little spicy maybe is gabe uh a kyle defender like uh perhaps well he obviously Is Gabe a Kyle defender? I could do that. Perhaps. Well, he obviously spent much more time with Kyle than he did with Rome. He says that.

Gabe said Kyle could be his limo driver. He said he could be his limo driver. They are going to work with each other. Get my limo driver's name out of your damn mouth. Right. Assuming Kyle makes the jury and Gabe makes the jury, then they're going to spend way more time together than Rome would have as well. So there's a bigger bond here.

So maybe he's just protecting his guy. But that was very shady. We saw all the votes. And there were a ton of Rome votes, including the votes that obviously we knew were for baby Andy in case of a vote split. I mean, in case of a split the vote in case of a shot in the dark or something like that.

I also thought it was very interesting that Rome was talking about the ability to know, like, it could be me tonight. And this is my favorite type of survivor player. The one who says, who do you believe? Me or your lying eyes? Because we see Rome.

Saw, saw, saw. Baby, it's going to be you. And I know it's going to be you specifically because I set this all up. So as I write your name with no fear that it's gonna be you and i know it's gonna be you specifically because i set this all up so as i write your name with no fear that it's me you know i'm actually gonna write down sam because i don't need it to be you yeah like listen i i knew that it was gonna potentially uh be me but i i don't know. When we're saying... This ain't even Magic vs. Larry. This is

Michael Jordan vs. Kirk Heinrich. Or it could also be Michael Jordan vs. LeBron, and it could go either way. It could be Mike vs. Kobe, depending on your preference. Yeah, no, this was definitely like...

I know it's going to be you, dog, but I'm so comfortable. I'm going to be feasting on Saul's bones tonight. Right. Or I could go home. Yeah, I could go home. But you know what? You know what wouldn't be a smart move? Instead of just burning my vote to make some chaos for a round that I might

not even be in, I'm not going to my shine in the dark because if i was going to go home this time i'll just go home next time like what are you talking about that's not how the game is played you win you win immunity you find an idol you do not necessarily have to go home the next time chappelle in fairness to rome that you know that uh his confessionals could have been edited differently he could be like, hey, I am running the game. Everybody's eating out of the palm of my hands. Not. Right, not. And they cut off

the not where he said that. He missed the not. It is the most damning voting confessional that we've had in a very long time because no one asked you for this. No one asked you for this extra information. When you go in and vote, you say something like, I'll be the same.

You know, you get in, you get here and you say your goodbyes to the person you're voting for. You do not outline your master villainous plan and tell us that there's no world where you're going home

and then tell us afterwards, that was like a 25% chance. Yeah. Like, stop it. Chappelle, people were saying Survivor 47 was getting too boring. No one's going to say Survivor 47's boring.

And it wasn't boring. It wasn't boring. I think that it's just giving us a lot to think about. And I'm very interested to hearing some of the new exit press

as these new players are going to be getting eliminated throughout until we get to our finale to see, you know, if anybody asks, so what did you think about those moments? You know, from, you know, if anybody asks, so what did you think about those moments?

You know, from, you know, from Rome or from either the previously, you know, voted out players. Like, I would love to hear Rachel's point of view of the Annika blindside because Andy's like bragging about it in front of her at the damn Tribal Council. If I was Rachel, I'd be like, come on! I'm right here!

Oh yeah, Tribal Council's not fun. Tribal Council's not fun. Andy goes, that was great. I loved my side of the honor council. It was fun as hell. Andy, I thought our thing was that we're at the bottom and we know it. Stop acting like you're at the top. These people need to think you're at the bottom, too. You're like, I was in on it.

Poor Rachel. She's the one who sucks. Nah. Reel it in. Reel it in. So, yeah, a lot to think about as we exit this episode. But I liked it. I liked the episode a lot. to think about as we exit this episode but i liked it i like the episode a lot yeah i think we're in a good spot it's been a great season so far no

duds uh in terms of like the episodes and so yeah and i feel like that uh in the new era i feel like sometimes in the pre-merge uh we sort of like uh get like stall out a little bit like right towards the end of the pre-merge get a couple of uh maybe not so exciting votes but we didn't even get that so far through six weeks so i think we're in a really good spot we haven't got any quits we haven't got any medivacs we haven't got any uh we haven't had any just like straightforward votes and if that if they keep this up yeah this could be one of the better seasons of the new era i will say that i it could be the best season of the new era i just feel like that we are are on a trajectory where i feel like that a lot of the places where you ding these new era seasons i mean ding in a bad way that they're that they're like okay well there was a couple of boring episodes pre-merge was

boring and then it gets good so So we like by our like map, we shouldn't even be at the good part yet. Right. Exactly. We normally, you either get one or the other, you know, you get a strong pre-merge or a strong post-merge or whatever the case may be.

But this has been such a strong pre-merge. And without the way the characters are acting right now, the casting was great. It doesn't seem like it's going to slow down any you know so although we can nitpick oh this twist isn't this twist and this i think we're getting some good survivor every episode's been good yeah so i'll take it okay all right chapelle what else is coming up for you i'm gonna recap kickback i'm talking about the walking dead as we wrap up the most recent season of the
