What's going on? Rob Sestradino back with an exit interview this morning. And we are going to be talking with a woman who was on the business end of the 3-2-2 split during last night's Operation Italy, and that's Caroline. Very much looking forward to talking with Caroline about everything that we saw going on there last night in the episode and all through Survivor 47. I am on the road. I am
Starting point is 00:02:37 recording from a hotel room in Houston as we had a great live show that's going to be up and posted for you later on today on Thursday. So definitely a little bit of an unusual schedule while I'm traveling. Last night, Shannon Guss and Dr. Evi Jagoda went almost two hours talking about this huge moment in Survivor 47. So you can check that podcast out. Then I will have the Survivor Know-It-Alls dropping for you on Friday with Stephen Fishback. And then our patron Q&A is going to be on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. Eastern Time, 8 a.m. Pacific. If you want to join me to talk about everything from this episode,
Starting point is 00:03:17 and we'll take your calls. But I see that we have Caroline standing by. We'll have Jordan Kalish in this week in Survivor history right after that. Let's go ahead and bring in Caroline. Hey, Caroline, what's going on? Rob Sestradino. And I am really shocked to be talking to you today, because if you would have asked me on Wednesday morning who's winning the season, I would have said I'm like 95 percent. Caroline is going to win the season. And so what what a surprise. But first off, kudos to you, because I felt like that you were right there. Thank you. Thank you so much, Rob. And like, honestly, I was feeling really good about my game, too. At that point, I was so proud of like the way that I was able to help push votes in like a direction each time that was beneficial for my game, but like taking none of the heat for
Starting point is 00:04:02 it. So I love my positioning. I love the game that I played. And while I feel like taking none of the heat for it so I love my positioning I love the game that I played and while I feel like did not have the win in the bag by any means I felt good about my path so I was shocked too Rob makes two of us the whole thing you were setting up Rachel to go be the next person in front of the bus at some point can you just tell us about like your plan for what you were imagining for the end of the game and ultimately how you got to the win? Absolutely. So I would say at this point, I was still trying to be flexible. I love the idea of going to the end with the four women we talked about the reward.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But again, in the name of Survivor, it's got to be adaptable. So in terms of endgame, I was really big on, you know, what suing me to the end sounds great to me. I was really big on, you know, what suing me to the end sounds great to me. I was also comfortable sitting at the end with Teenie, comfortable sitting at the end with Andy, comfortable sitting at the end with Sam. So it was really Genevieve and Rachel were the ones where, OK, I did not want to sit at the end with Genevieve. She's a scary Canadian. Not about it.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Rachel, I was wary of because, again, I thought she was a threat the entire game pretty much. But I felt like there was quite a few different avenues I could go about it and I did not have a specific plan I wanted to do for Sue's idol but I really wanted us in the next vote after me to use her idol to really truly dictate who we wanted to have go home and so Genevieve was up there Rachel was considered yeah all right so tell me about this vote last night and what was your suspicion level going into the vote? Was it, was it zero or were you thinking that there could be something fishy happening at camp? I was really feeling confident. The way I was viewing this is I really did feel like Andy wanted to make a big move at this time, but I really believed,
Starting point is 00:05:43 you know, what, like have like him coming and wanting Genevieve to be the one to go home. Great big move. Biggest threat of the season. Great job, Andy. And I was really, the reason why we didn't play the idol, play the block of vote or change up the split votes is I wanted Andy to feel like he had full agency
Starting point is 00:06:00 over this big move. But also since I was behind the scenes ensuring it happened the way he wanted to happen, there was, it was a calculated risk. And that one that I felt comfortable explaining at final tribal. So I was so confident. I advocated against Sue playing her idol for me, all of these things. Um, turns out not a great read, but at tribal council, I started getting just a bad feeling at my gut, especially going to tribal council. And that's when I started thinking, you know what, something fishy could
Starting point is 00:06:32 be happening. As I was walking into tribal council, I looked around, sat around me and I was like, take this in because this could be the last one. And so I would say I was, the way I was there, And so I would say I was the way I was there. If I had an idol, I would have played it. I did not feel comfortable enough, though, stirring up chaos, standing up, crossing the into everyone to get to Sue and start whispering to her, because especially if she didn't end up playing it on me, looks so suspicious, makes Andy upset, makes just rattles the game as a plan. So I was nervous, but it still counts as a
Starting point is 00:07:06 total blindside. OK, Caroline, this is a tricky question. So I want to ask you this question. If you put yourself in back on the beach, back at the tribal council at the point that you went out of the game, could you just tell us about your perceptions and other people's perceptions of Andy up until this point in the game? Absolutely. So really speaking from my perception first, our my first impression of Andy was that day three Matt experience. And I would say after meeting him during the journey and eating, meeting him early on in the merge, he was really big on just talking about how he felt so alone that he was on the bottom. And he really led with all of the emotions that he felt from feeling so excluded and disrespected. And as he, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:51 started becoming more in our Alliance and we've developed a closer relationship, he was really leading with his emotions of how I feel safe with you guys. I feel hurt. I feel seen. And so I personally thought that he was relatively driven by his emotions and would make more emotional moves. Like I thought flipping on God God it had to do more with feeling disrespected um and so I thought my read on him was the way to support him and persuade him was to be have like more emotional arguments and really be there for him emotionally I now like now see that there's more strategy
Starting point is 00:08:22 intact to it but I think I viewed him more as someone to take care of out there. And I think a lot of people potentially had that same perspective, too. And that's how we talked about it behind the scenes. You talked about Genevieve as being, you know, a scary player, a scary Canadian. But it seemed like last week you were much more in the camp of we need to get out Kyle over Genevieve in that debate that do you still feel like that that's the right decision to take out Kyle instead of Genevieve? Absolutely. And I'm excited to touch on why. So I would say personally, I was not worried about Kyle winning every single immunity challenge and winning to the end. That was not the reason why I
Starting point is 00:08:59 wanted to take him out and kind of why that statistical argument like it was just point to 5 percent. The math is right. Disagree with the assumptions. But again, that was not even the argument of why I wanted him gone. I wanted him gone primarily because one, he was not a number that was working with me just game wise. I, we did not want to target the same people. We didn't approach quite the game the same way. Like game wise, we just weren't clicking. and so I really struggled working with him with some votes and with Genevieve I thought Genevieve was a fantastic shield for like me and for Rachel like when you want to go over like when you want to go after like a savvy woman I feel like we were the people who were more frequently thought of
Starting point is 00:09:39 like Kyle is you know a challenge beast but I felt like typically I kind of feel like with Survivor, you're trying to target certain types of players at tribals. And Kyle is not the same type of player as me. So I felt like I honestly wanted to keep Genevieve a little bit longer for a shield. And I felt like it was easier potentially to work with her if I wanted to do something wild. So many of the fans have commented on you had such a great attitude during this season that you were so positive. You were so encouraging. Is that just a natural part of your personality or did Survivor bring that out in you? Yeah, no, it's something that I do think is just naturally who I am. It's interesting because I would say I'm a very competitive person, but I'm competitive with myself.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I set very high expectations for myself. There's things that I'm really tough on myself for. So I'm kind of like my own harshest critic, but when it comes to other people, like seeing them succeed and do well, like I'm very rarely jealous. I'm typically like good for you. And like, that's, I love seeing other people succeed. Cause I never feel like I'm trying to compare myself to them. So I genuinely, and I feel feel like I think this is weird to say, but I feel like I do care about people quite a bit. So I'm able to separate emotions and gameplay, but I did genuinely love seeing people do well out there. You had a big job last week to try to go back to Sue and get her back feeling good about you after the game vote out. Did was that as easy as it seemed on television of you had that one conversation with her and that Sue was back 100 percent with you?
Starting point is 00:11:11 So I would say what was wonderful about my relationship with Sue is that we had a really strong base to work with. I felt like we were very close throughout the game. We're working great together. And I felt like with Sue, she was looking for an emotional rock out there. And I felt like a lot of ways I was able to be that for her. And I felt pretty confident going into that conversation. I felt like I knew how to speak Sue. I felt like if I wore my heart on my sleeve and I talked about my emotions and how this vote really meant so much to me,
Starting point is 00:11:39 that she'd understand where I was coming from and we would be able to reconnect. So that was it was that one conversation and I'm so grateful it worked out the way that it did, but I'll be honest. I felt pretty confident going into that conversation. It would work out. Caroline. All right. This is a very important question I have for you about Sue and maybe you can help us understand what's going on. Yeah. What is going on? Why is she so dirty? And people say, Oh, she's weird. This is makeup. What is going on? Why is she so dirty?
Starting point is 00:12:03 And people say, oh, she's weird. This is makeup. But she said to you, hey, Caroline, you have dirt on your face. No. And guess what? I told her right back after that. She has it, too. And I helped her out.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So I want to clarify. I really like a lot of what's on her face is not dirt. It's soot. So Sue is wonderful. And she was so active at tending to the fire, especially at night. And the way that she would tend to it is moving around a lot of the logs and stuff in the fire in a way where she get a lot of soot on her hands and she touched her face quite a bit. So we would work hard to try to help her get it off her face.
Starting point is 00:12:36 But because it was soot, it was a lot of scrubbing and it was tough. And we would try to do it. But at some point, Sue would tell us, it's fine, guys. Like, it's good. i'll make it work um so efforts were made daily it was still tough and but i need to clarify that is why sue is a little bit messier but also okay you have to admit the contour line in that one photo honestly pretty stunning it looks pretty good i feel like other contestants should like contour with duke moving forward not bad she's a game changer uh caroline coming into the merge uh that you really clocked rachel you talked about rachel as being
Starting point is 00:13:14 the most dangerous player in the game did rachel ingratiate herself uh with you or was she always still in the back of your mind as a very dangerous player? Both. So I would say after the Sierra vote, they don't show it, but we have a wonderful conversation at night where basically we're like, we have not been working together for the past two votes, but like really down to work with each other. Like that's kind of how Rachel was pitching it. And the reason I clocked her as being such a threat is because how much I found her like had a great mind for the game. So strategic, so charismatic. You just want to work with Rachel. And so at that point, I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:13:53 I think she's a threat, but I'd love to have this threat working with me. So after the Sierra vote, we were working together. And especially as the game evolved, she became my strategic number one. And so I loved working with her in the game. And, but again, at the back of my head, I was always like, I felt like she didn't, at this point had not realized some of that threat potential. So I was comfortable still working with her. And as her threats increasing, I'm like, Ooh, okay, let's build up a shield here. I also, I have, I love the idea in the game where you don't just let threats emerge and happen. You can help build them yourselves. You can help someone craft strategies and make moves. So you're
Starting point is 00:14:31 you're proactively building a shield. So that's also how I loved kind of working with Rachel as well. But did I want to sit in the final three with her? I was never confident in that. Yeah. OK, going back to this last vote. So Andy is saying he's very worried about the idol, wants to split the votes, and he ends up on the side of the votes where he's able to flip and make a difference. Did anybody sort of like clock that concern of like, should we be letting Andy, who went to the sanctuary, be in the position to flip? Did anybody raise that concern? Yes, a lot of concerns were raised. Okay, a few things to mention here.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I've not talked about this yet. Before Andy and all of them came back from the reward, we were already guessing that Genevieve had an idol. So Genevieve made a comment to Teenie saying, you know, when I'm the one going home, just Teenie, let me know and we'll enjoy the rest of the day together. Teenie tells us this and my thought is, oh, Genevieve has an idol. She's trying to get you to tell her.
Starting point is 00:15:28 So when Andy also comes back saying, hey, guys, Genevieve has an idol. Our response to him is, oh, yeah, we know. And he was shocked, which should have been more of a red flag. But, you know, it is what it is. So we were already planning a split vote against Sam. Andy's only change was let's change that split vote to Genevieve. So and when he was the one to propose who voted for what, I was actually a big advocate for let's just do what Andy says, because I wanted him to feel like he could take full credit for this Genevieve move. I could tell that with Andy's game, he really wanted to make a big move and do something to leave his mark.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I wanted him to feel like that was exactly what he did with this move. He was in control with the Genevieve vote. It was fully his idea. And that's why when we had all these advantages to make it certain, I did not want to play it because I didn't want to steal Andy's thunder. I wanted him to be proud. And I wanted him to also then feel like he could be content just having that be on his resume till final tribal. And I go to the end with him and I felt confident in that. So was there any discussion about Rachel's block of vote being used in this round? Yes. And I was the one to say no. I was the one to say, save it. We're good. It's Andy's idea to vote out Genevieve. Why would Andy flip in such a good move to get out Genevieve?
Starting point is 00:16:44 Biggest threat in the game. So what's funny is with the block vote out Genevieve. Why would Andy flip? It's such a good move to get out Genevieve. Biggest threat in the game. So what's funny is with the block vote, with Sue's idol, I'm the biggest advocate saying to not use it. So it was a calculated risk. It didn't work out. But I genuinely at the time thought it was the best move for Andy's game to get out Genevieve. Well, Caroline, I want to give you back some of the positivity because I think you played a really great game.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I think that you were really just right there laying in the weeds. And I was I was overconfident to Caroline. So I'm sorry about that. Is there anything else you want to let people know about your game that we didn't get a chance to see? I think what I'm most proud of is that I played the game the way that I really wanted it to. My I really love the position I was in where I was on the right side of the votes the entire time. I played a very active role in persuading people to vote for the people we voted for more than what was shown. But the brilliance, like what I was so happy to execute is I never wanted the credit.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Consistently throughout the game was trying to have it feel like I had shields in front of me who were very big on make it seem like they were the ones really being active. And I thought I was so proud that I could explain my game at final tribal council in a way that would surprise people, but make sense. So I'm so grateful I had that experience. It didn't work out the way I wanted to, but I have, I'm really proud of the game that I did play. Yeah. Uh, very fun to watch Caroline. So thank you so much for coming on and hope we can chat more in the future. OK, would love to. All right. Take care, Caroline.
Starting point is 00:18:09 All the best. Bye. Bye. All right, everybody. There you have it, Caroline. And I meant it. You know, I thought really thought that Caroline was the most likely winner by far. I really imagine that, OK, she was going to push Rachel out at five.
Starting point is 00:18:22 That was going to be her big move. Or maybe Rachel was going to get pushed into the fire making and then she was going to push Rachel out at five. That was going to be her big move. Or maybe Rachel was going to get pushed into the fire making. And then she was going to knock out Rachel and take credit for that. And then we were headed towards a Caroline win. But now I'm starting to think it's Rachel. So we'll see where we go from there. But we've been surprised before. And so Caroline really did a great job, really was had I thought everything just set up
Starting point is 00:18:45 going her way. Interesting. She said she felt like she would have been comfortable to go with the four women. And so Andy probably was looking at a fifth place finish. So I think that if Andy finishes higher than fifth place, I think we have to say that Operation Italy, certainly a success from Andy's perspective. All right. let's go ahead and take a break. When we come back, Jordan Kalish and This Week in Survivor History recorded earlier this week. We come back right after this.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So it's a new year. You know what that means, setting big goals.

It's Jordan Kalish. Jordan, how are you? I'm doing great. And I can tell you that the headspace I'm in right now, I have in the last week or so, watched the first season of Lost for the first time. So I have all these numbers going through my head.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I feel like going down a hatch. So I'm all in the Lost. And I'm really, really loving it. It definitely reminds me of Survivor. And I see why people have been telling me I should watch this show for the last 20 years. Yeah, only 20 years late to the party. I finally listened, and they were right. It's a great show so far. I can't wait to see what happens.
Starting point is 00:22:16 All right, well, let's bring in our patron who is going to take me on here. It's Brooks. Brooks, how are you? I'm good. Hello. Super excited to on here. It's Brooks. Brooks, how are you? I'm good. Hello. Super excited to be here. Brooks, I'm licking my wounds coming off of a lost Erica last week. So I'm fired up.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Okay. Brooks, how are you? Yeah, I'm doing well. Happy to be here instead of working. So, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, Brooks, much like a contestant from this season, Andy, you two have appeared on
Starting point is 00:22:48 Rob and Akiva Need a Podcast. I have. I was on Siblings or Dating. Rob thought I was dating my brother. I was not. Yeah. Just to tell you an example of like, wait, what is Rob and Akiva Need a Podcast? We did one episode.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It was called, what, Siblings or Dating? And then we had people we met two people and are these people dating or are they siblings not every episode is like that um but uh we do have some fun games from time to time much like twish and yeah i thought uh brooks and his brother were uh people in a relationship and just in a family relationship that's right okay you should have had uh you should have had shannon and boone from lost yes that was that that's a good dating or uh siblings yes because it's uh it could sort of you know you're kind of right on either account yeah sort of okay and brooks where in the world are you uh ont, Canada. Okay. All right. Did you see Taylor Swift recently?
Starting point is 00:23:46 I did not. Okay. All right. You might be the only one. Yeah. All right. Jordan, what categories do we have in store for us today? All right.
Starting point is 00:23:56 So the seasons that we have today, we have Exile Islands. We have Gabon. We have One World. 44. 45. And it's back baby the mystery box oh boy here we go all right mystery box is back and better than ever baby yes okay brooks do you know about the mystery box i don't okay you want to explain the mystery box, Jordan? So the mystery box could involve any season. Lost is kind of a mystery box, if you think about it. It is, actually. I was kind of thinking that.
Starting point is 00:24:32 For the mystery box, I don't tell you the season because the answer is going to be the season or seasons that I'm asking about. So it would give it away if I told you the season. Brooks, it's kind of the new era of Twitch, okaying the way the game is played all right so so where are we going brooks oh i start cool uh let's go 45 okay so survivor 45 and let me scroll down to the question who was the third wheel, aka the other player who went on the helicopter reward with Dee and Austin? Okay, I think I know this. I'll just run through the other players in case I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Rob can steal if I get this wrong, right? Yes, and you can ask for the multiple choice, and in that case, you would get one point for a correct correct answer but rob could also steal if you take the multiple choice and am i allowed to know how many people are left at this point no okay only if it's written in the question all right i'm pretty sure it was katara katara is correct brooks you start with two points uh yeah nailed it katara crash crash awkward third wheel not a date not a date they weren't dating but but it was uh awkward yeah awkward third wheel uh it was like a date it was a date yeah it was kind of a date yeah first date did not uh go much further they didn't stay dating but it was like yeah exactly yeah so katara was
Starting point is 00:26:02 the third wheel and brooks you start with two points and 45 is off the board. Rob, where are we going next? I'll go to 44. All right. 44 staying in the new era. Who played an idol at the final six tribal council? um believe kind of a controversial move at the time i believe heidi played the idol at the final six tribal council so heidi i can tell you at the final six tribal council did not receive any votes uh jamie was voted out and carolyn got two votes but heidi was the one who played an idol i did not negate votes but that is the correct answer we are tied two to two and brooks there's a little bit of hubbub of like why did heidi play the idol heidi's like look yeah i just gotta get through they they should have seen fire better than anybody else in the history of the show okay i just need to make sure i get there yeah and
Starting point is 00:27:01 people would uh come to come to realize a season later once you have the idol how fast they make the fire there'll be no stopping me exactly and then you'll get you'll get one vote but but but then you know one one year later after 44 we see what happens when you don't play your idol and that's a lot worse so I kind of see what Heidi was going for uh so we're tied 2-2 and uh Brooks you get to choose the next one. Alright. I've been watching Survivor from the start but I became a super fan around season 24. So I'll go with
Starting point is 00:27:31 24. Okay so Survivor What was it about Survivor 24 that made you be a super fan Brooks? I think I just found some other friends who liked Survivor and I just got more into it around that time. He was all in on Colton. He loved Colton. And Ken Stratton is my favorite player of all time.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Let's see what the question is going to be about. Kat won the family reward with her cousin Robbie after getting on all fours and acting like a dog. She was later sent to the dog pound after being voted out unanimously. Who did Kat vote for at this tribal council? Sent to the
Starting point is 00:28:04 dog pound? The dog pound. She went to this tribal council sent to the dog pound the dog pound she went to Cleveland she went to the house okay this is what I was worried about the questions I've never in 24 years ever heard a player being voted out described as being sent to the dog pound well again we're reinventing things on twitch this is the new era of twitch okay i don't know this for sure i i have to think she was voting for tarzan tarzan is incorrect oh no rob you get to steal a point here if you get the right answer. Tough question. This is tough. I'm trying to think. I guess, did she outlast?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Because she outlasted Troys. Can I hear the question one more time? Sure. Kat won the family reward with her cousin Robbie after getting all fours and acting like a dog. She was later sent to the dog pound after being voted out unanimously. Who did cat vote for at this travel council hmm it's not tarzan um i'm trying to think of like i feel like that she might have gotten sold a bill of goods um this is a tough question i'm gonna say i'm gonna say that she
Starting point is 00:29:33 is voting for i'm really i'm torn between uh christina or sabrina about uh who she could have been voting for i i'm on the one hand i want to say christina but then i kind of feel like that christina was probably in the people that got duped on this vote um and then i'll say i'll say it was uh sabrina sabrina for the lead so christina was not duped on this vote this was a unanimous vote uh so the only person duped was uh was cat it is sabrina though so rob you take the lead with one point you have three. You have a three to two lead and you get to choose the next question. I will go with... Give me the mystery box.
Starting point is 00:30:31 The mystery box. The secret mystery box. This is going to be a special old era survivor mystery box. Of the seven single digit survivor seasons that Rob Sesternino did not play on. So we're taking Amazon and All-Stars out of the equation for fairness sake, only two included final six votes that had unanimous five-to-one vote-outs. The six-place boots on these seasons were Colleen, Amber, Kim Powers, The general, Jake Billingsley,
Starting point is 00:31:06 Krista and scout, which two seasons included the unanimous votes. Um, okay. So if I had to, uh, sorry, did you say scout for, for Dan,
Starting point is 00:31:24 a watcher final sixu final six final six boot Jordan uh why not scout wait why did I say scout shouldn't be scout thank you Brooks hold on do you want to host Twitch next season I surely cannot no it's it's it's not it's gonna
Starting point is 00:31:40 be Amy it's gonna be Amy I haven't yeah it's a it's Amy but the question still stands. Okay. All right. Well. And you're answering with the seasons, not with the contestants. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Right. All right. A five to one vote, not including when I was there. All right. I'm not going to spend a ton of time trying to figure this out but I'll say it was Borneo and I'm gonna say um I'm torn between two other seasons um Borneo I feel very good about I'm torn between two seasons um I'm gonna say Borneo and I'm going to say Australia that is
Starting point is 00:32:51 incorrect so Brooks you can steal a point here and tie up the game so again these are the seven single digit seasons that Rob did not play two of these seasons had a unanimous five to one vote at the final six.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Name the seasons and I could give you the players again if you need me to, but name the seasons that had the unanimous votes five to one at the final six.
Starting point is 00:33:14 So Rob was confident about Borneo, but I did not think Borneo was unanimous. I did think Australia, so I'll go Australia. And I will say Marquesas. Marquesas is correct.
Starting point is 00:33:37 The other one was Jake Billingsley in Thailand. So you were both incorrect. I was between Thailand and Australia. You know, it's interesting. If we had gotten to the multiple choice, the other seasons I had involved were, I had Africa, Outback. I didn't actually have Borneo involved. Kelly did not vote with the majority on that vote.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And then Colby didn't vote for Amber. He voted for Roger. So it was Thailand and Marquesas, Rob, the general, and Jake. So tough was Thailand and Marquesas, Rob the General and Jake. So tough question. Nobody gets points on that one. It is still 3-2. Brooks, who chose the
Starting point is 00:34:13 question? I did. So Brooks, you get to choose the next question. Alright. Exile Island or Gabon? Yeah. I'll go Exile Island. Okay. Of any player who had ever been on the Kasaya tribe pre-merge, who was the first to be voted out in the post-merge portion of the game?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Okay. This is this week in Survivor. So Kasaya tribe pre-merge. Okay. Rob probably knows this whole tribe tribe so I'll talk it through it's not going to be Aris it's not going to be Danielle it's not going to be Seri Bruce was not voted out
Starting point is 00:34:54 Shane was after that Courtney was after that okay so they were all who was voted post-merge so it could be Courtney but I'm not walking that in yet who was on the original Kasaya tribe? Was that the older women? Vivaros, Bayonetta, Lamina. Yeah, I think that was, and they all got voted out. So yeah, I'm going to say Courtney. Courtney is correct. You didn't fall for the, uh, the Bruce trick because he was medevaced. Uh, and yet the, uh, the Kasaya tribe was the older women's tribe. So, uh, and it was
Starting point is 00:35:28 obviously not Suri. So Courtney, this is the famous, uh, three to one vote. I feel like I've asked a lot of trivia questions about this specific boat because it's so, so historic, uh, Brooks, you get, uh, two more points. So you're at four Rob is at three. So here are a lot of scenarios here. Yeah, we can, uh, you can take the multiple here. So a lot of scenarios here. Yeah. You can take the multiple choice and get it right and force a tiebreaker. You can get a two-pointer for the win. Or if you get it wrong, you lose the game no matter what Brooks does. So, Rob, we are going to Survivor Gabon. At the final six, who did Bob promise to give the immunity necklace to if he won the challenge,
Starting point is 00:36:04 yet ultimately reneged on this deal at Tribal Council? Okay. I'm going to go for the win. For the win. For the win. Okay, for two points. Much like I thought, well, I was going to reference a football game from last week, but I've remembered, like, who's going to even remember that by then?
Starting point is 00:36:32 I'm going to say that he said he was going to give it to Kenny. So, Kenny. Kenny did. Rob, you will get two points if you are correct, and I'm not reneging on this deal because that is correct. It was Kenny, Rob, you will get two points if you are correct. And I'm not reneging on this deal because that is correct. It was Kenny. You win by a score of five to four. Tough week.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I think I think there were some tough questions in this one, but that is a great answer. Yep. Bob, clearly Bob would have made one of the dumbest moves in Survivor history if he did. He was bad. He wouldn't have been. But Kenny was. Exactly. Bob had a good point.
Starting point is 00:37:05 I'm on Bob's side here. So before we get to the verbal rebus, there's a little wrinkle in this. The scores are where they are. We're not changing the scores here. This is not for points. What is this? One of the six questions that I asked you today
Starting point is 00:37:16 was written by the great Omer Zahir. I want you guys to guess which of the six questions was written by Omer. Hmm. So we had, I'm not going to ask all the questions six questions was written by Omer. Hmm. So we had, uh, I'm not going to ask all the questions again, but we had exile Island,
Starting point is 00:37:30 Gabon, one world, 44, 45, and mystery box. Mystery box. Hmm. What did Omer write?
Starting point is 00:37:38 This was going in my head. I wasn't going to actually use this as a tiebreaker. I did say to Omer that I might, but I realized it's probably not that fair. I'm locked in. Okay. Rob's locked in. So Rob, you're not going to actually use this as a tiebreaker. I did say to Omer that I might, but I realized it's probably not that fair. I'm locked in. Okay, Rob's locked in. So Rob, you promised not to change your answer. Brooks, what do you think was the Omer question?
Starting point is 00:37:53 None of them are particularly outlandish, which is what I would expect from Omer, but I'll go with one that's kind of a cool stat, which is the Panama one. The Panama one. Okay, it is is the Panama one. The Panama one. Okay, it is not the Panama one. Rob, what do you think it is? You think it's the dog pound?
Starting point is 00:38:11 Well, I didn't think he wrote the wording of the question, but I wrote it down. I think I feel better about that. I think I feel better about that. It is one world. So if you didn't realize it was the word, I feel like the dog pound was the clue. It was the clue there, but Omer being of that um what was it about the one world question
Starting point is 00:38:28 that was not kaylishy i just thought that it was a like what kind of information like i didn't think that either of the new era questions would have been particularly interesting to him i didn't think he did the mystery box and uh you know it could have been um it could have been one of the old school questions. But I kind of thought that that was I think he's not a basic trivia kind of guy. Now, he he he he says that one world under underrated season. So, OK, now we are going to go to the verbal rebus.
