RHAP: We Know Survivor - Exit Interview: Fifth Juror on Survivor 49
Episode Date: December 4, 2025Exit Interview: Fifth Juror on Survivor 49 Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) interviews the latest castaway voted off the Survivor 49 island, followed by This Week In Survivor History with Jordan Kalis...h (@JordanKalish) where Rob plays against an RHAP patron. Survivor 49’s final seven exit interview takes center stage as Rob Cesternino sits down with Sophie Segretti to unravel one of the most dramatic blindsides of the season. Rob explores Sophie’s perspective being off the radar early on to suddenly becoming the unifying target for two rival alliances. Rob opens the interview by spotlighting Sophie’s unique journey through Survivor 49: after flying under the radar, she emerged as a key strategic player whose moves drew the attention of both warring factions at Tribal Council. Sophie describes her genuine shock at being unanimously voted out, connecting the blindside to her close bond and fallout with Sage. She explains the critical decision to vote out Jawan, believing her relationship with Sage was her biggest asset, yet recognizing, too late, that her choice may have sparked Sage’s determination for revenge. Listen in for these standout moments and Survivor insights: – Sophie’s reaction to becoming the rare player taken out by two opposing groups working together – The emotional and strategic ripple effect from voting out Jawan instead of Sage – Why Sophie chose to stick with Savannah and Rizzo, balancing the numbers in alliances – How lack of information-sharing from one group contrasted with Savannah’s open gameplay – Steven’s pivotal immunity win sealing Sophie’s fate as the only viable target As Rob and Sophie break the episode down, they consider: Did trusting Sage cost Sophie her game? How much do alliances depend on sharing secrets and advantages at crunch time? And what does this vote signal for future blindsides as Survivor 49 hurtles toward the finale?

Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Sesternino back for an exit interview today.
the final seven it was yellow sophie who ends up going out of the game and we didn't get to hear a lot
from her in the first part of the season but we're going to get to hear a lot from her today as she'll
join me for our exit interview last night i had a really fun breakdown of everything with stephen we
went through everybody's decisions player by player on the know it all definitely think you should check
that out come on what are you even doing if you're not checking out the survivor no at all's and then
later on today.
I'm very excited that I have
Drew Baciel and
Austin Lee Coon from Survivor
45 joining me for
a double dip
2-1-1 action as we're going to
break it down with
two great friends from
Survivor 45 as we will talk about
everything from Survivor 49.
And of course, everything else going
on on Friday with our
patron Q&A.
But I have Sophie here on
the line. Let's go ahead and patch her in. All right, Rob Sesternino here with the woman of many
names that some people call her Sophie S. They call her yellow Sophie. Sophie, Sophie, Sofi, is here.
And Sophie, I've been looking forward to talking to you all day today because I really,
I feel like that what happened to you was interesting. I was thinking about it this morning.
I feel like that you are a rare survivor player
that you went to that tribal council
and I feel like that there were two different groups of people
that betrayed you on that vote.
Yes, I don't know if you saw it on my face,
but that was like an old school blind side.
I had no idea it was coming.
And yeah, at seven to be a unanimous vote out
was a little crazy that I united these two warring factions against me.
So I guess I'll take it
a compliment that I could bring together
you know old Uli and old
Hina
but yeah that was an
interesting interesting gameplay from
from those sides
because you had the plan that you were
really working on to try to get
Savannah out of the game but you also were
stringing along you know Savannah
and Rizzo and thought that they
were going to be going along with
your plan
which which ultimately
didn't and they both said okay we're all just
going to vote with the house and take out, Sophie.
So I guess let's talk about your relationship with Sage, because I feel like that it was a
big part of the story.
And maybe not until last night's episode, did we really start to explore how close you
and Sage were?
Yeah, definitely.
I think, like, if we, like, the reason for the, like, the reason that I wanted Joanne
to go when we were picking between the flippers and Sophie and Savannah kind of left.
left it up to me to choose was because Sage and I had built such a strong relationship.
It started after the first tribe, I guess maybe second tribe swap where we were just like
friends.
Like I just, I think Sage is great.
And then she, yeah, like prove that she wanted to work with me in the MC vote by sharing
that like MC had told Juan and now Joanne had flipped.
And we had kind of continued to build, yeah, just trust and in sharing information.
throughout the game. And the other thing that's not talked about is Sage was also an alternate. And so
she and I both bonded over that a little bit. And that can be a tough position to be in. And so to
see another, like, amazing alternate out there with you, yeah, we just had, we had a bond going on.
And so in voting out Joanne, I think I underestimated how much that would hurt Sage because we were so
close. Like, it's interesting that the reason I chose to save her was because of our relationship,
but that ended up being my downfall because I had hurt her so badly. She wanted revenge. Whereas
I think had I voted out Sage, I don't know if Joanne would have taken it as personally since he
and I weren't as close. And so I don't know if he would have been like, you know, guns blazing,
let's get out Sophie next. So when you look back at the final eight vote, which was really you
dictated what happened on that vote in so many ways.
you were the person that told Savannah and Rizzo about what was going on.
You had the final say in whether it was going to be Sage or Jawan.
Do you look back at one of those decisions and feel like that that one particular of those decisions was not the right one?
Not for the final eight vote, actually.
It's funny because I feel like a lot of, I feel like a lot of people are like, why would you have not gotten out Savannah?
And I'll tell you, it's honestly just simple math at that point because had I gone with,
Sage, Joanne, Christina, and Stephen, I'm the bottom of five.
Whereas if I stick with Sof, Rizzo, and Savannah, I'm the bottom of four.
So maybe to a layman, it doesn't seem like that big of a difference.
But in Survivor, that actually-
We don't have-Layman that listen to this podcast.
You know, you know what you're top four, you're making fire,
you've been in this rotation for trying to get on the show for years.
You know how to make a fire.
Yes, yes.
I mean, I, and not only that, but I knew that those were, like, being at the bottom of five,
you are the odd man out.
Those are two duos.
Whereas, so, like, I know how tight Rizzo and Savannah were, I was kind of hoping, and you see me try a little bit at this most recent episode,
trying to think if, like, could I work soap, could I get, could we be Sophie squared and, like,
make something happen here?
And I think the other thing that really makes me feel sure in my decision of that final eight vote
is that Savannah showed me her advantage, her extra vote.
I had a feeling that Christina had an idol.
Sofa and I check her bag.
And I kind of gave her and Stephen and Joanne kind of every chance to like clue me into it.
Sage kind of alludes that Christina might have something.
But none of them would bite.
And so I just, in Survivor, the way.
you show that you trust somebody or view them as like an actual allies to share those pieces
of information. And so the fact that Christina, Stephen Joanne, Sage even wouldn't just come
forth and be like, yo, Christina has an idol. And Savannah was willing to, you know, risk sharing
this information. Did she tell you she's a newscaster? No, she did not. That one she kept for me.
But the other side, they just weren't that into you. You got that.
They weren't that into me.
Yeah.
Okay.
So how badly did you end up getting screwed by not so much Stephen getting the advantage or going out there?
But how much did you get screwed by Stephen winning immunity?
Extremely screwed.
I think if I were to look at my game, like, I had become the player where if I don't win,
I am going to be on the chopping block.
And I was a little bit too confident, honestly.
in last night's episode
thinking that I wasn't a threat
but I think Stephen winning
was the worst thing that could happen
because not only did I not win
but he really made sense
as another threat
like he was another credible threat
to vote out of this game
like I think he Savannah and myself
were kind of all up there
and so the problem was
because he was safe
the decoy vote
that I was telling to like Rizzo
and Savannah was
Christina who
like all love
and respect to Christina is not
really a smart move to get out at this stage in the game
like she's she's not a challenge threat
she has been on her own a couple of times
like it would not be a smart move
for Rizzo or Savannah
it doesn't make sense for them to get Christina out
and so the only
natural option
is me
even Sage like I think the fact
that we didn't have Stephen
as like a really credible alternative to voting me out
would like really played a big part in my downfall.
What did you learn about your vote out last night
from watching the episode that you didn't know before?
How quickly Sof, Savannah flipped with sage.
Like I think I'm a stone throw away.
You got up.
In the ocean.
Yeah.
Washing coconut for them to eat.
And they're like, yeah, okay, wait, actually, let's go Sof.
Or let's go Sophie.
Let's go Yellow Sophie.
And that I didn't, I guess I thought it took, like it was, I don't know, maybe this is
hubris, that it was like a much harder decision that people were brewing over it, that
Sof was actually, I don't know, can we do it?
We love her too much.
We can't.
We can't do it to Sophie.
No, keep her in.
And so, yeah, that was that surprised me.
I was like, oh, wow.
this was blatant.
I didn't pick up on any of it.
Yeah.
How about with Stevens' advantage in terms of, did Rizzo's theory of that he has the
vote steal had that sort of circulated to everybody there?
Is that what you thought to?
Yeah.
That's what I thought too.
We were like, and Rizzo is a survivor savant.
He knows all aspects of the game.
And so I think he, he like cited a couple other seasons.
But we were like, it's a steal of vote.
Not Survivor 47.
No, you know, not Survivor 47 or a block of vote.
Yeah.
And so that's what we were kind of anticipating Stephen to have.
And because I thought I had Stephen on my side for the Savannah vote, I wasn't that concerned about that.
But I did have a set, like, I think, you know, had I made it to six, that's when that really gets to be problematic.
Yeah.
Did any alarm bells go off for you that Stephen took Rizzo out on the reward?
Honestly, no, just because Rizzo was, I think, he had the merge feast and then he hadn't
eaten since then.
And Rizzo doesn't eat coconut.
And so I think he legitimately went seven days without food.
And I mean, it, like, that was a.
that was understandable to me why he did that.
I should have given Stephen a little bit more strategic credit in that,
yeah, like that's a great play because nobody would begrudge him taking Rizzo,
but it's also a really smart strategic play to start to build a bridge with somebody
who you haven't had a chance to talk with in like that kind of safe setting.
Mm-hmm. Okay. So in the first part of the game,
we didn't hear a lot from you
and it was a thing for sure
but then we got to hear plenty from you
in the second half of the game
but was there anything from the first half
of your game that you wish they would have shown us?
Honestly, I wish they would have shown
a little bit more of like
me
attempting to build alliances
and form relationships because I think
while yes, I did not have a number one
I did not have a ride or die
I was kind of like third to a lot of people
like it was Stephen and MC and then Sophie or like Christina and Alex and then Sophie.
So like I was kind of third, but I think because you don't see any of that, it really gives
the impression that I'm just on an island kind of fighting for myself and that, yeah, like I haven't
built relationships.
And that at least doesn't quite feel true to my survivor experience for sure was not anybody's
number one.
But I did have relationships.
And like at times you see like MC, you know, tell.
me that Christina and Crewe are forming a alliance against me or, you know, so on and so forth.
And so that I wish had been shown a little bit more just so I come off a little bit more
well-rounded of a player and not just kind of the challenge jock.
But, Sylvia, you had such an interesting story in the game because that you were very much
like gung-ho of like, hey, you idiots, what are we doing here?
We got a, we got to, why aren't we taking out Rizzo and his idol?
And then you end up like, well, if you can't beat him, join him.
And then you end up flipping.
Did you see yourself potentially going all the way with those guys?
Or did you feel like that it was always just going to be you were going to flip back and get them?
I, with Rizzo and Savannah, I kind of kept a healthy distance and was like, I will always flip back and try to get them.
Savannah, because she's a challenge threat and also played a similar game to me.
Like it would be hard to argue against her in a final tribal.
And Rizzo because of his idol.
I did think that there was a potential.
for Sof Square to work out.
Like I did think that Sof would see that Rizzo and Savannah are a little bit close.
Like I perceived who knows what's actually true that Rizzo and Savannah were a little bit closer than she was like she was kind of the third in that trio.
And I did think that she would flip both because Savannah is such a threat, but also as like a resume building move.
Like until then, you know, Sov's game has been like a little bit more quiet, a lot that happened on Kelle.
And so my thought was like, she doesn't want to appear like she's riding coattails.
I feel like there is a case to be made here for her to work with me and flip on a Savannah or a Rizzo.
Did you know about Rizzo's fake idol move before it happened at the last travel council?
No. No, I didn't.
And I couldn't believe it because I knew that like we had schemes such that he shouldn't need to play his idol for Savannah.
And so when he got up, no, I didn't know.
But that, yeah, that made for a fun tribal council.
Okay.
Did you happen to notice that when you were getting voted out that Jawan was cheering from the bench?
Did that catch your attention?
It did not.
It did not catch my attention.
I also, it didn't catch my attention.
I was mainly just so, like, legitimately blindsided.
But it honestly doesn't surprise me.
I mean, I think Joanne knew that I was the kind of calling the shots on him going home.
And we love, we kind of love a spicy jury.
So that was fun to watch back.
Although, Joanne, you don't need to flex when I'm going home.
Save that.
Yeah, I haven't seen that from the jury too much.
Okay.
And then, Sophie, what else do you want to let people know about your time on Survivor that we didn't get to see?
I think, honestly, I, like, it's.
funny because I know in today's day and age
challenges are like winning challenges
winning comps not as important
to the game and so I hope that
people can see the
yeah just the deep strategy that like
I flipping on
voting MC instead of Rizzo
I actually think that was the best move for my game like
I think even had we had the opportunity
to get Rizzo out then I would have been
the bottom of a seven person alliance
who all didn't like me and all didn't want me
there and I wouldn't know
about it. In voting out MC, getting back to tribal, seeing everyone, or getting back to camp
and seeing everyone be like, oh my God, Sophie's here? Like, that was the best dose of clarity that
my game needed. Had I not had that, I would have not adjusted my game and probably would have been
blindsided way earlier in a much less thrilling fashion. So I just, yeah, I think I want people to know
that I don't regret getting out MC at all, and I think if I could do it again, I mean, it would
have been great to maybe a flushed Rizzo's idol, but I'm glad that I flipped to, I don't want to say
the dark side, the red side, uh, in that trial.
Listen, I thought you were really fun to watch, especially once we got to see your game
blossom in the second half the game.
I thought you're also really great in the confessionals.
I thought that your analogies were really on point.
And I thought you brought a lot of personality to it.
So I thought that you were just a really great addition to the season.
Thank you.
Yeah, that means a lot, especially because we all know the Survivor analogy bar is high.
It's high.
It's high.
All right.
Sophie, take care and all the best.
Okay.
Yeah, good talking to you.
All right, everybody, there you have it.
Sophie Sogretti.
I mean it.
I thought that she was really, really fun to watch.
And I thought that she was a no pun intended, colorful character to have in the season.
And I thought she had a couple of really good observations.
She was really good at tribal.
She wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
And I think that we need more of that here in the new era.
Although tough break for Sophie that I think she is now the survivor Sophie that sucks.
And she came in seventh place and she had a shot to win.
But between Sophie Clark and Soph, I think that she is, unless I am missing somebody,
I think that is there, I think that that might be, is she the worst Sophie?
Okay.
I mean, still pretty good.
Better than being the rob that sucks.
I'll tell you that.
Anyway, so there you have it.
All right, we're going to do this week in Survivor History
when we come back with Jordan Kalish right after this.

When New Year's comes around,
there's a lot of pressure to do the whole new year, new you thing,
but sometimes you don't need a new you.
You just need a less burdened you.
And therapy can really help you sort out what's weighing.
you down. For me, letting go of things like perfectionism or the pressure to have everything
figured out is always a big one. So sometimes just having somebody to talk to, to give you an

is that they handle the matching process for you. You fill out a short questionnaire about what you're
looking for and their experience and match rate usually gets it right the first time. And if not,
you can switch to a different therapist from their recommendations any time.

Yeah.
Jake,
how are you?
I'm doing well.
How about you?
Yeah, I'm doing very well.
Excited to hopefully keep my winning ways going after last week on Twitch.
And Jake, what can you tell us about yourself?
I am from New York.
I am a fellow Jets sufferer.
Oh, okay.
Like you guys.
Yes.
You know, 15 years going now and can't abandon it at this point.
I lived in Buffalo for six years and I still stuck with the Jets.
Good for you.
Now, at what point were you in Buffalo and Buffalo was good?
Yeah, when Josh was drafted, it was my first year in Buffalo.
Okay.
And you were like, hey, we've got Sam Darnold.
I still was a Sam Darnold believer and I stand by,
we should have taken Devante Smith over Zach Wilson, number two.
overall in 2020.
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, we, we should have taken Zach
Werdenberger over Zach Wilson.
Not a hot take.
Okay.
Well, actually, while I was in Buffalo, I competed in Survivor Buffalo.
Oh.
I was able to.
No spoilers, but how did it go?
Season two went really well for me.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Sounds like a winner.
We have someone with some potential winning experience on their hands, Rob.
All right.
Jordan, what are the categories we're going to learn about today?
All right.
We have Survivor Cook Islands 1.
We have token jeans, worlds apart, 44.
We have the old era mystery box and the new era mystery box.
Okay, that was a little fast.
13.
I'll go slow again.
Cook Islands, Tokens, Worlds apart.
Yes, 44.
44.
The old era mystery box and the new era
mystery. O-E-M-B and N-E-M-B. Are you feeling N-E-M-A-O-M-B? Where are you going to go, Jake?
All right, I think I'm going to start with token genes. All right, Survivor token genes.
Who won the touchy subjects reward challenge, correctly guessing in the final round that the tribe
voted Sierra, the person they'd least like to see win the game?
Let's see.
trying to think of because obviously with like touchy subjects on who is the most liked or at least targeted so i'm gonna guess complete shot in the dark i'm gonna guess
so you're playing your shot in the dark and if i had a piece of parchment i would hold it up and i would say that jake is correct
stephen fishback is the right answer to this question it came down to stephen and tage at the end it was
right for you to think about who was in power at that point in the game.
So Jake, you start with a two-point lead.
Very good job.
No-it-alls love touchy subjects.
Yes, we love the Survivor.
It's always fun when Steven is the answer to the question.
Rob, where are you taking us next?
Okay, so I'm going to go with 44.
44.
Carolyn voted in the majority for Danny at the tribal in which he was voted out.
but which player's name did she write and then cross out on her parchment?
Okay.
Um,
I don't know the answer to this,
but I'm not going to ask for the multiple choice because,
um,
there's only so many choices that it could be.
I will say that she crossed out Heidi.
Heidi is incorrect.
So Jake, you have a chance to take a 3-0 lead here if you get the right answer.
Whose name did Carolyn cross out on the vote in which she voted for Danny?
Okay.
Well, Rob, you just locked in the verse.
Rebus today.
That is true.
Unless you win 9 to 0 and then we don't have to do it.
Well, it's guess it's guess choice.
If the guest, if the guest gets a perfect game, then the guest gets a perfect game
where you're going to want to do the verbal rebus?
Oh, yeah, I'm doing it.
I love that Jordan kind of torches you with this.
So actually, Jake, when Jake got the first answer right, we ensured that we would have a verbal
rebus.
Yeah.
That's very good.
So I'm between Jamie and Lauren.
I'm going to guess Lauren.
So you're going with Lauren Harp.
So this is the tribal council where first of all, Carolyn took a very long time to vote.
Jeff seems like he was getting a little bit concerned.
She also played an idol on Carson, which negated two of her votes.
And she did cross out Lauren Harp's name.
So Jake, you steal the point.
You have a three to zero lead and command of the board.
those both of these guesses have been completely out of the dark so let's get lucky again um let's go with uh let's do the
new era mystery box all right staying in the new era here who is the only player in the new era
to play an idol in the post merge slash mergatory portion of the game which negated every single vote except for
their own. So this person played an idol and all of the votes were negated except for the
vote of the person who played the idol. All right. So I got to think about who had idols in the
new era. I feel like not talking it out would help Rob, but not talking it out is just creating
dead air.
um i feel like there even haven't been that many good it wouldn't quite be dead air because
we would still get the ambiance of jake's work environment that's true it sounds like you're
filming an episode of the office right now oh yeah no i'm i'm making great podcast for everyone
on their commute just listening uh all right uh
I can't even think about who's played an idol correctly in the new era.
You could always go to the multiple choice.
What do you like?
Or pass.
I'll do the multiple choice.
All right.
So we're going to the multiple choice.
Was it A.
Brandon Cottom.
B.
Julie Alley.
C.
Caleb Geverwald or D.
Rachel Lamont.
And you said this was.
the post merge post merge slash mergatory portion of the game so everybody was living on the same
island at that point uh they played an idol that negated every single vote except for their own
okay um and then sorry just say the names one more time yeah was it a brandon cadum b julie
ali c Caleb geberwald or d rachel lamont i'm pretty sure it was julie
Julie Alley at the tribal in which Emily Flippin was voted at with one vote.
Yes, she did play her idol and her vote was the only one that counted.
Everyone else voted for Julie.
So Jake, you get another point there, just one point.
You have a total of four.
You have a four to zero lead over Rob.
Rob could get back into the game here if he gets this answer right.
And where are we going to go next?
Okay.
I'm going to go with worlds apart.
Survivor Worlds Apart, the Dirty 30.
at the final eight
Mike Holloway and
Shereen were on the outs
but Mike won immunity
at try
sorry let me take that over again
at the final eight
Mike Holloway and Shereen were on the outs
but Mike won immunity
and at tribal bluff that he would play
the idol for Shereen
okay Shireen was still voted out
by the majority alliance
but Tyler and Will Sims
flipped to vote against one of their own
in order to protect themselves
in case an idol was played
who did they vote for
who did Tyler and Wilson
vote for at the tribal. I believe Mike Holloway said Dan got two votes.
Dan did get two votes and it was the votes from Tyler and Will Simpson. Rob, you were back in
it is four to two. Dan Foley gets two votes there. They were freaked out by Mike potentially
playing the idol for Shereen. So good job. It is four to two. Jake, you can take command to the game
here. If you get two points here, where are we going next? We could go to either Cook Islands or the old
era mystery box. I will go with Cook Islands. All right, going to Cook Islands. At the first
tribal after the merge, who was the only player to vote against a member of their original
starting tribe? Okay. You said after the merge vote? So yeah, this is the this is the
merge tribal council. All right. So, so
I'm sorry, do you mind reviewing the question?
Yep, at the first tribal after the merge, who was the only player to vote against a member of their original starting tribe.
I, oh man, is it not Penner?
I guess
I guess I'll go with
Penner
Penner is incorrect
so Rob you have a chance to steal here
okay I'm going to go with
how about Sundra
Sundra Oakley so this vote
was between Yule and Nate
Nate is the person who gets voted out here
Sundra was a member of the I-24
and they all voted for Nate so Sundra is the correct answer
Rob, you steal one point.
It is four to three.
Rob, there is one question left.
You could win it here with a two pointer.
Oh, my God.
Give me the old era mystery box.
Yes, the old era mystery box.
At the very least, you need to get this question right
in order to take this to a tiebreaker.
What is the first season in Survivor history
in which the players' loved ones competed in both the reward
and immunity challenges?
So they had to compete in the challenge,
meaning they were they took part in the challenge they were in the reward challenge and also the
immunity challenge yes so it wasn't just to win the loved one they the loved one had to participate
in both challenges this has happened more than once and it's this is the first time
Okay, see if I could win it or lose it, I could win it or lose it on this question.
That does not happen very, very often on the final cluster of Twitch.
Very exciting.
Or you could try and play it safe and just send it to overtime.
Yeah.
So the reward.
challenge and
then the
immunity challenge
I have like three different
answers it was going to be and I feel like
that it's all going to be part of
it's all going to be part
of
I'm going to go with
I'm going to say
Thailand
Survivor Thailand
If you are right
Since you did not
Is the multiple choice
You will win by a score of five to four
If you were wrong
Whether Jake steals the point or not
It doesn't matter
Because he has a four to three lead
That's fair
I can tell you Jake
That you will not get a chance to answer
That is correct
Rob Thailand is the first season
In Survivor history in which
That's tough because I really
I was
I don't like remember
I remember the reward part more
Of certainly about eating the bugs
but then
then they brought them back out, right?
They stuck around.
So Helen won that.
Really, her husband really won that.
He was the one.
He didn't have a choice.
Yeah.
So she made him do it and he won the challenge.
And then immunity was won by Ted and his brother.
Ted's his brother.
So that was the second less memorable part of this.
But that is the first time.
I came very close to saying Vanuatu.
Vanuatu is, I believe, the second time that this occurred.
and I think maybe the only other time
and it was one of the multiple choice options
and that was very memorably
Chris's wife thought he had gotten voted out
because she was there.
And then he didn't tell her the whole time.
Jake, did you know the answer to this?
Absolutely not.
I also completely misunderstood the Cook Islands question.
Okay.
All right.
Listen, Jake, it happens.
Of course, I talked to Jake from Survivor Thailand
last summer.
Right?
There you go.
Billingsley, Jake the snake.
Jake the snake.
The original Jake the snake.
Okay.
Jake, you didn't win.
So we still need to do the verbal rebus though.
So we're going, yeah, we're going to the verbal rebus.
I think you'll like this one.
Okay.
You sometimes like sometimes afterwards.
You're like, oh, those were good clues.
That was a tight.
That was a tight rebus.
Yeah.
Let's see if you like this one.
Often called the she devil.
She blank wang caused.
caused some chaos for some stupid people.
Okay.
She blank.
Plus, along with High and Lindsay,
this player received an amulet advantage
after smearing fake blood on herself in the 42 premiere.
Plus, this recent RHAP guest
would go on to play the amazing race
with his ally, Chris Hammond,
and we're looking for the last name of this player.
Minas, the Blank Mina tribe
has often been considered
the boring tribe of exile islands.
Plus, players who wanted to get the birdcage idol on 44 needed to find this first.
All right.
So we have, Jake, she blank wing.
What is the second part of she's name?
Anne.
Anne.
So we have Anne.
Plus, along with High and Lindsay, this player got the amulet advantage.
Dreia.
Drea.
This recent RHAP guest played the Amazing Race with Chris Hammond.
Last name.
I'm going to, I think I have like the actual full answer, so I'm going to guess Bell.
Yep.
So, LeBelle, La Belle.
No Chee, Jay.
Yeah, I think, I think you know where this is, where this is going.
But the, the blank Mina tribe.
I see.
Yes, okay.
La Mina tribe.
Yeah, so we're subtracting La from La Belle.
And then players who wanted to get the bird cage idol needed to find this first.
Key.
The key.
Who do we have?
Andrea Belke.
Yes.
Andrea Belke.
Yes.
You mentioned being a survivor buffalo contestant.
I'm a former survivor Brooklyn South contestant.
I got to play with Andrea Belke.
So I don't think I've ever, she's been an answer a lot on Twitch.
I don't think she's ever been the verbal rebus.
Rob, what do you think of that one?
That was a good one, right?
It was fine.
Yeah.
I think it was no big stretches.
Yeah.
Okay.
Jake, well, it was a hard fought Twitch, went down to the wire.
usually does not get that close.
So good job by you.
Yeah,
feel like letting down the patrons.
But it's all right.
The patrons are really for me.
Yeah,
they don't care if you win.
Well,
no,
because I'm representing the patrons.
Yeah,
but they don't know you from anything.
They're invested in if I win or not.
Rob just called you a nobody on live TV.
What do you think about this?
I'm the hero of Twitch.
Yeah,
he is not wrong.
This isn't Jay.
Jake has a podcast.
It's like when I used to watch, like on superstars of wrestling,
like Hulk Hogan would come out and just beat nobody's on like a, like,
and people would root for the good guy.
So am I the heel?
Does that make me the heel?
You're like the referee that tries to like, like, you know, sometimes if I,
if I lose, it's from, you know, extraordinary circumstances.
But, but yeah, Jake, don't feel like you're letting them down.
No.
Well, I mean, maybe because, you know, just like being a Jets fan for so long, I'm just used to rooting for the underdog.
Well, I would say, Jake, you were more like the New York Giants today, because I feel like they've had big, big leads so many times this season and they've squandered at the end.
And then I just, I just,
I just, young ho cooed my,
uh, my, uh, my deal bill.
Yeah.
All right. Jake, great job.
And thank you for playing Twitch.
And you didn't let anybody down.
I appreciate. Thank you.
Except for me when you opted in for the verbal rebus.
It doesn't, nobody had a perfect game.
So we would have done it anyway.
All right.
All right. Jordan, what's coming up for you?
Uh, we got, we got our Twitch finale next week.
Uh, so that is going to be.
exciting last one of the season it's going to cover all not just the episode 12s but we also might
