You're just a sugar-coated sassy with a cinnamon smile. You got me dancing in the kitchen with a lifestyle mode. Every person serves a purpose at the Club Condo.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Club Condo. So did I full tilt boogie at the sanctuary? You could full tilt boogie at the sanctuary. I don't know if you did. Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Cestronino back here for Monday night. Club Condo. And we are back here with a very special episode.
Starting point is 00:01:40 First, my co-host for Club Condo. It's Chappelle. Chappelle, how are you? Rob, I'm great great i'm very excited uh we had a crazy episode of survivor to talk about and i think we have one of the best guests we've ever had for club condo so let's get it so we haven't had any guests on club condo yet this season uh but here to kick it off okay Okay. We are seven episodes in. Episode several of Club Condo. Here he is.
Starting point is 00:02:10 The guy who set social media on fire with the reveal that he was Ghostface in the Spooky Scary Brands deal. It was Jelinski. Yeah. What's going on, guys? Thank you so much for having me.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Last time you guys saw me, I was in character in the Ghostface mask, and now I'm a little happy. I'm happy that I could break that down a little bit and be a little bit more Jelinski-like this episode. Right. You're in your street clothes here today, and that was
Starting point is 00:02:41 one week ago. This has been like the longest week, and maybe it gets longer, but that was only one week ago this has been like the longest week uh and maybe it gets longer uh but that was only one week ago tonight yes several days ago uh you had a birthday this week i did i turned 23 on saturday and i'm entering my lebron year because you know lebron's the goat and too many people say jordan year so entering my LeBron year, and I am looking forward to what that brings. Okay. All right. How's everything going? How are you doing? I'm doing good, Rob. And I feel like being on RHAP, speaking as a guest today, I feel like I really made it. I feel like I made my mark.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And even Chappelle was talking a couple episodes ago about Rome. You kind of want to be not even necessarily remembered as a character, but, you know, it's better to be remembered as a character than go out quietly. And I feel like being here today, especially y'all's first guest this season, I feel like I really made that happen. Yep. OK, well, we are thrilled to have you here to talk about what's been going on here as we're halfway through this season. Shepel, how are you doing tonight? I'm great. I'm telling you, I'm feeling even better now that I know Jelinski is going to be here. He's like an RHAP celebrity, and he doesn't do enough appearances here.
Starting point is 00:03:54 You know, everybody was very excited to see him on our brand still. Check it out if you didn't catch that. You know, not to spoil it, but I mean, it's been spoiled. We had a big celebrity guest with us. But also, Jelinski's name comes up on other RGP podcasts. I think, is he in the Zaddy calendar this year? We got to see a whole lot of Jelinski. Yeah. I mean, I heard on an RGP episode,
Starting point is 00:04:15 you guys were talking about my little monster. Is that true? It was your big monster, Jelinski, okay? Don't be disrespectful to the monster. Yeah, on the match game. Yeah, back during the Summer of Survivor. Just a quick plug for
Starting point is 00:04:29 another slasher that shows up in a movie. Chappelle and I earlier tonight recorded about the movie Time Cut on Nothing But Netflix. Very fun. I said Time Cut is Back to the Future meets Scream. It's the number one movie on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:04:46 And you could hear Chappelle and I talk about Time Cut on the latest Nothing But Netflix earlier tonight. All right. So why don't we jump right in? And this is a great week to have you here, Jelinski, on Club Condo. Because we've got a lot to break down here at this hour and including... The girls are fighting. They're fighting.
Starting point is 00:05:10 The kids are out here at each other's throats. Breaking news are happening now. Okay, breaking news. Okay, I mean, not so much breaking news, but... Not exactly today. Not today, but we've got a lot going on here in the Survivor sphere because Jelinski, for the first time since
Starting point is 00:05:27 Survivor 46, we have Survivor beef on social media. We're not talking about Jelinski in that Zaddy calendar. Yeah, Jelinski is very classy in the Zaddy calendar. Have you seen it, Chappelle? I went for a different look.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah, I tried to look directly at it. Put together in a suit, and if you haven't seen it yet, you gotta go buy it. BryceIsaiah.com Yes. I got the old one over here. Not last year. No, it's out of date. It's technically this year, I think, but
Starting point is 00:06:00 I don't have it within arm's length. Okay. Jelinski. But I don't have it within arm's length. Okay. But okay. All right. Jelinski. All right. Now your cast famously fought all the time on Survivor Twitter.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yeah, that's true. I feel like even a lot of the pre-mergers were in there. You know, me and myself and Jess, I know for sure, were up in there. So I'm no stranger to it okay all right so let's pick things up and we have a slideshow of what's going on let's see if we could follow along okay and we'll start things off here all right this was uh tiana most recently voted out of uh the tribe okay uh so gabe started things off uh that he said are they awake in Hawaii yet hashtag aloha hashtag survivor hashtag survivor 47 and then Tiana replied there's sportsmanship
Starting point is 00:06:59 and then there's this keep Hawaii out your mouth. Okay. Chappelle, do we have a rating of like, uh, from a scale of one to several of how spicy this is? Um, I don't know. So Gabe's, uh,
Starting point is 00:07:16 initial tweet, uh, it's bringing me flashbacks of Rome a couple of weeks ago, you know, good morning, RHAP community. And I remember how I felt when I saw that. And I was not happy.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I was like, what the hell, man? Like we haven't done nothing to you and you just voted out Asia. What the hell is wrong with you? know good morning rhap community and i remember how i felt when i saw that and i was not happy i was like what the hell man like we haven't done nothing to you and you just voted out asia what the hell is wrong with you why are you coming for us so i try to put myself in that same headspace and look at this tweet and say yeah if i'm tiana i'm probably thinking i'm a little spicy about this one especially because that was asia who got voted out that wouldn't even mean this is tiana who literally just watched herself get voted out. A million dollar snatch from her grasp. Yeah, this is pretty spicy. I give it like, not a several,
Starting point is 00:07:50 but like a five point several. Five point several. Alright, Jelinski, what's your reaction to this? Man, this, okay, so watching the episode I was heartbroken because I could obviously relate to being voted out in a horrific fashion. So seeing how crushed Tiana was i i could feel
Starting point is 00:08:06 that through the screen and this tweet really sent it over the edge and you know we haven't seen a lot of the survivor 47 cast beefing like this yeah so when i saw this it i would say this is a six on the six wow okay i thought that the g tweet, I didn't think it was, uh, that unsportsmanlike. Um, but this is almost like, uh,
Starting point is 00:08:30 you know, uh, Chris rock, Will Smith, where, you know, Gabe is making a joke and Tiana's like, Hey,
Starting point is 00:08:36 keep my state's damn name out of your mouth. Slap. You know, uh, that, yeah, but look at that. It's sometimes a joke is not a joke depending on how you receive it
Starting point is 00:08:46 And I think that if you're Tiana And like you said, are they awake yet in Hawaii? This is the first thing she's going to see when she wakes up in the morning Is this man talking trash about her? She didn't ask for that Maybe they have that type of relationship outside the game Maybe he felt like, you know, it's a little fun here and there But having a million dollars snatched away from you
Starting point is 00:09:03 Is going to leave a bad taste in your mouth And could have you saying some wild things online probably okay all right let's let's go and go to our next slide okay all right then another back and forth okay so Rome had been the recipient of a spicy gay post on Instagram recently. Did you see that, Jelinski? I did. I did see that. Okay. And Rome says the same way
Starting point is 00:09:34 you're only comfy talking like this is in tweets and confessionals. With a clown emoji. From Rome to Gabe to which Gabe replies maybe if you were only comfy
Starting point is 00:09:50 talking like that in confessionals you'd have a purple buff yikes I think it's fun back and forth when you're like oh yeah you didn't be you know it's in the game this and other I think some of this stuff steps outside the game
Starting point is 00:10:04 and maybe that's where Tiana felt offended about the Hawaii comment. But this, this is probably common sense. You know, if you're talking crazy to people on the island saying things you shouldn't say, not tempering yourself, just talking without thinking and saying things in front of people you shouldn't say it, you're going to get voted out. You know, it's pretty much Survivor 101. You don't say everything that comes to your mind or you might fall victim. And so Gabe's pointing that out. Also, Rome started this beef too. I believe Rome was the one who initially had said something about Gabe's challenge performance
Starting point is 00:10:34 in his exit press, leading Gabe to then do his spicy post. And now we got some back and forth here too. So they're all mixing it up. Yeah. They're mixing it up for sure. I don't know if I saw that, Chappelle, but it all depends on your perspective because if I were Rome,
Starting point is 00:10:49 I'm feeling good about myself, but this guy, he loves the game. So he left and obviously he's got so much more to say. I mean, I feel like he thinks he's still out in Fiji right now in this moment. You know, Rome, his heart is in the game. So if I saw something like this from Gabe, I'd be crushed and I'd be ready to go in.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But Chappelle, how is Rome be like grabbing his pearls of like, oh, how could you, Gabe? Why are you talking like this? Hey, he said, you can call him Twitter fingers. He said, you only talking like this in tweets and confessional. But when, you know, when it's time to come around, you don't want to post up, you know, what's up. Maybe,
Starting point is 00:11:26 maybe Rome said, you're not really about that life kid. You know, it really feels like Rome is offended, not by the words that he's saying, just that Gabe was able to turn it off and turn it on. You know, some people can't fake it.
Starting point is 00:11:36 And Rome feels like some of the people, like a person who cannot fake it. Hmm. Should, should Gabe should be saying these things to people's faces in this survivor game is that what he's saying not if he wants a purple buff but yeah I guess so
Starting point is 00:11:49 okay all right what's next then we have this is is this out of order okay so then Gabe all right Sam I don't know if we got I don't know if we nailed the timeline here.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Okay, now I get a tweet that's from before what we're talking about already. And so Gabe said, I hope the Jeff seat was comfy. And then Rome wrote the tweet that we already just talked about and then right gabe says uh had you worked for a second uh you weren't standing on business glad to see you woke up happy word for a second you wasn't standing on business yeah so he like look i i saw Rome talking mess. I talked mess back. You know, I clapped back.
Starting point is 00:12:49 And here Rome is responding. And so I think for Gabe, he's like, it's a little late, but I'm glad that you showed up to the party. Because I think the time step on that, what, is 11-1? So that just happened. You know, so I think he's kind of like, you showed up eventually. But for a second, I didn't think he was about that late. Had me worried for a second you wasn't standing think he was about to have me worry for a second.
Starting point is 00:13:06 You wasn't standing on business. Glad to see you woke up. You got to stand on this. Oh, is that Jelinski? Is that because is Rome in Hawaii? And then he was awake now, six hours later. That must have been what happened. Rome must have taken down the tweet and he forgot to send it back out again.
Starting point is 00:13:24 And he wanted to make sure Gabe knew that he was about that life. And I think this is hilarious to see because, I mean, when Q and I were beefing on Twitter, we would never delete anything. So I don't know what happened there, but it's certainly funny to see. Did you stand on business, Jelinski? I would like to think so, you know, and it's hard for a pre-merger because, know the people who make the make the jury I shouldn't say pre-merge I should say post-jury people who make the jury post-jury post or jury you know what I mean yeah yeah those who make the jury will have their voices heard a little bit more you know we just see a little bit more of them so Rome I think he's definitely making his voice heard here. He doesn't want to be left out.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And I just think it's funny that he revised the tweet. That's that's hilarious. Yeah. The tweet and delete is wild, right? Because if you delete it, people are going to be like, well, why you didn't say why you didn't stand on it? You know, why are you why are you scared? What are you running from? Jalinski, how did the Q and Jalinski beef start? Was it was it you? Did you pop it off? Oh, man. I mean, i don't know how that exactly started
Starting point is 00:14:26 i think it involved like an hourglass being thrown or something i feel like that it was you talked in your exit interviews and i feel like q was responding to you in your exit interview i feel like that that might be the case you know and whether that's the case or not uh q and i love beefing with each other i love that dude and uh we both agree to disagree so uh actually you know and whether that's the case or not uh q and i love beefing with each other i love that dude and uh we both agree to disagree so uh actually you know what speaking of i took some screenshots of some proof of the last uh time that you and i spoke rob and i gotta bring this up now before we stop talking about it but uh some people in your comment section and i got names too so so guys listen mikey29283 says he definitely thought you won rob rob i know you didn't win survivor all-stars i know you came in
Starting point is 00:15:17 second yes the bear thank you amber then you proposed And people just think I'm delirious about what happened. So I got to take it. Thank you for setting the record straight. I had to set the record straight on that. It's been bugging me for several months now. I got another comment here. I'm 99% sure Cholinski thought Rob won all-stars. And I know he got second, guys.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So when it comes to the hourglass thing, you can trust me on that. Okay. Yeah. All right. And then we have one final one. Okay. And again, it goes back to Rome.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Who's not even in this episode. I don't know how he has so much beef here that he says, it was beefing well into the season. I guess so. I guess so. Julie, I'm sorry. Rome says,
Starting point is 00:16:00 no matter how dirty things get in the game, you should always respect your fellow castmates post game this is rich this is rich this is wow good morning our hap family asia's fan base you know like it does feel a little bit like, you know, please, everybody got the good, you know, listen, every gay, let, let Rome be the shining example of good sportsmanship. Everybody, Rome would never, Rome would never say or imply anything negative about his fellow castmates. Anything negative about his fellow castmates. Okay? Not Rome.
Starting point is 00:16:53 He would never strongly imply anything inappropriate about any of his fellow castmates. Okay? Keep it classy. Let Rome show the way. Not since Judd on Survivor Guatemala have we seen such good sportsmanship, Rob. You think he's a bad sportsmanship? He could never be a bad sportsmanship. This is Rome, okay?
Starting point is 00:17:09 Rome is setting an example here. Now, is it rich? A little bit. A little bit. But we saw a lot of Rome's trash talk going on in the game. Since the game, he said, look, we're out. I'm in the pre-merge. You're in the post-merge or the jury or whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Leave us alone. You ain't got to pick on nobody. It's tough to swallow these kind of pills. I haven't seen any of Gabe's posts be out of bounds in terms of what he has been saying to the other players. I haven't seen anything
Starting point is 00:17:39 personal. Even are they awake in Hawaii yet? It was like, I think that's like a two out of seven. It's not that bad. I think for Tiana, it is bad. You know, first of all, Hawaiians take Hawaii very seriously. I can't talk because I'm from Texas.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Okay, we don't F around. If you hit me with a good morning, Texas, Kobe might pull up. You know what I'm saying? Like, so you got to really work on what state you're invoking. Well, I didn't see Kimo get mad one time this whole summer. Yeah, well, I don't know if Kimo knew what was going on outside you know Kimo was just in there singing along just having a good old time okay
Starting point is 00:18:11 yeah look exactly all the good times they had in the big brother house but on the survivor island Tiana she's competitive she said like hey the TK thing really didn't sit right with her because she's an athlete she She's used to competing. And most athletes, we understand. Good sportsmanship? Shake your hand. All right, good game, good game. You might not mean it, but you say it, and you go on about your day.
Starting point is 00:18:33 You start talking trash, we got to get out there. We got to stand on business. We got to say what we got to say. And then, you know, let the chips lie where they fall. And I think that's where we are now. You know, Gabe has said what he said, and now results may vary. People might not like it, but that's the type of player he is.
Starting point is 00:18:46 He said he wanted to be hands like Rob. Is this not the first step in the rest of the hands playbook? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's the most like benign hands that you can be. That's the best kind of hands. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Benign hands is my favorite hands. I don't like Willie or Brandon, but benign, the other cousin, he's dope. Be benign. And I'm wrong with this yeah julinski how do you feel about is gabe just uh wilding out on twitter gabe's wilding out and honestly i remember seeing his cast introduction video and him saying you know i didn't know any of these people before
Starting point is 00:19:26 i came out here i don't care to know them afterwards and he's certainly proving that point true um i think it's very on brand for him he's just having fun and i definitely understand tiana's perspective a little bit more because you know that's salt in the wound that he she just saw the episode and she's probably still healing from that so i don't know i would be curious to see all these people in a room together because i had no idea the beef was like this i thought people were skipping holding hands and loving each other i didn't think we'd see any shades of survivor 46 in this cast but i'm loving it so on it jelinski do you feel like that the seal is broken and you feel like that we're going to see more and more of this?
Starting point is 00:20:06 Once the seal is broken, it's not going to stop. I think that's for sure. It takes very, not that they're not big people, but it takes a big person to shut up. If you feel like your side is not being shown, you're going to talk about it until people understand you. So I think there there might be a little bit more that we get to see here okay let me just bring up one more piece of twitter
Starting point is 00:20:30 beef and drama okay david bloomberg okay at the center always of a lot of twitter drama uh that he says he tweeted rachel lamont rachel aont said on Survivor 47 that her rock draw was the worst case scenario. But I know for sure, at least at Jessica Lewis 89 had a worse one. First tick tock of the day. David Bloomberg typically is he's like a four tick tock a day guy. This was the first tick tock of the day. And then Rachel clapped back and said, I mean, sure. However, Jessica chose to risk her life in the game by going to rocks.
Starting point is 00:21:09 While I had no choice in the matter, signed your first boot prediction. David, get up, get up, David. Get up, David. That's crazy. Get up, David. Down goes David. Bloomberg, you've been in the game too long to be getting pieced up by a random new era player. David, do something. Fight back.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Pitch us. You can't do nothing. Wow. David, you better cue that TikTok up and get the recording. You better do a reel, do a dance or something. What's the renegade? You better do something, David. Get them TikToks on the go. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I would pay to see it. I would pay to see it. Personally, yes, as well. Me too. I'm the plus one on that one. Yeah, Rachel said, yeah, I didn't ask for this. You know, Jessica definitely had the right to not go to rocks. She could have flipped. She
Starting point is 00:22:03 chose not to flip and she went home. Rachel drew a rock i put did a rock draw that ended her up with an whole entire tribe like it's like you know we keep calling this a merge it wasn't a merge i don't care what nobody says this is not a merge but it was basically like a tribe swap and the only swap was that rachel had to go play with the blue tribe for for one episode and um yeah i think this is awful but she she does end up coming out pretty well with that advantage thing you know you couldn't count on that yeah okay well let's uh talk about it a little bit uh joneski do you have any thoughts about uh this episode because this was like some controversy about uh was survivor doing too much here in terms of that they split
Starting point is 00:22:40 up the tribes then they had the advantage here. What did you think about all this? Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm the biggest Survivor fan you'll ever find. I love Jeff. I love the whole team. I love Matt. And I'm always a big person to, let's try this, let's try that. However, I do think that there is a little bit too much going on. I mean, and we usually see the crack show, especially in little groupings like that.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So, I mean, I do, I'm not sure how the vote was going to go before. I do think Rachel might have left. I think so. Yeah, I think that people's hands are, production's hands is just a little too much in it. Like that was a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Yeah. What did you think, Jaliski, about the idea that she's getting an advantage but she gets to choose which advantage she gets just all just has to make sure it goes to the right person is it i think the the parchment said something to the effect of the receiver gets to choose between a block of vote or a safety without power it's kind of like they felt like okay no matter what situation's in we need to be able to say rachel you should just get over the week off if you were going to do this right yeah and i'm not sure so it okay if they happen to have one
Starting point is 00:23:49 immunity i'm not sure if that advantage would have been out there you know i mean and if it was sure whatever but it's just way too much power it's just a crazy thing and it really messes up the dynamics especially going into a vote like that like Like that was nuts to see. And I definitely felt bad. It made me feel even worse for Tiana. That was nuts. My feeling on it though was, I didn't mind it. You know, we had in Survivor 44,
Starting point is 00:24:15 Heidi got an advantage and she got to affect the tribal council. And, you know, I don't think that they set it up just because it was Rachel that was in the group of five. And I just felt like that there was like some, the survivor gods like had a chance to like,
Starting point is 00:24:31 Tiana was going to get voted out of that tribe if they went to another tribal council. And then she got to the next part of the game and the survivor gods were like, not so fast. Yeah. But by God, you mean Jeff and him, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:42 Like that's the thing, you know, when they saw how the tribe swap went, they didn't have to give that advantage yeah but they're like it was final destination for tiana she thought she got off the plane yeah but the whole time death i mean jeff is right behind her like nope here you go oh you know um that it's it's cool though because like jelinski said it's a perfect scenario for this type of advantage to come out. You know, it's like, OK, we have one person with five people who have no incentive to really break. I mean, they're talking about it. Maybe we don't want to come in with such a big majority X, Y, Z.
Starting point is 00:25:14 But what's the one way we can ensure that Rachel is the one who makes it? We give somebody else off the tribe, you know, the opportunity to affect this. Anybody would have done the same thing, would have saved Rachel. But you also give her two options which one of these works best for you you think blockable can you make that work okay no safety without power use that one because then that's your way she could just leave and now we're getting the tribal council that everybody really wanted is to see which one of you blues is going home right and so i you know it's a little cute that it ended up in the hands of rachel like this like you could have just gave her the week off you could have just been like all right rachel uh just for just for the hell of Rachel like this. You could have just gave her the week off. You could have just been like, alright, Rachel,
Starting point is 00:25:47 just for the hell of it, there's an hourglass. You're good. Everybody else go to the travel council. Because that's basically what they did. I saw someone say that it was a delayed reaction for me throwing the hourglass. And I would like to take credit for that. I feel like that is exactly what happened. You don't get enough credit for breaking the hourglass twist. That is going
Starting point is 00:26:03 down in history with you. They'll do that in your intro package when you come back to play Survivor 50. Oh, man. We'll see. We'll see. All right. Jelinski, tell us. I was always wondering to get your opinion about Andy and his ride this season. Because going back to the first episode, he has the meltdown on the mat. I was like, boy, this,
Starting point is 00:26:27 if you thought Jelinski had a lot going on back on episode one of survivor 46, well, and he took it to the next level. Somehow he came out of it. Yeah. I was jealous, Rob. I was like, no way. This guy made it through tribal and I was sent packing, but you know, it really depends on who is around you. And I think this got a tribe definitely had, I don't want to be like, I don't want to say a lot savvier players, but I do think that there were some people who were thinking outside of the box, you know, like I know Jess and Bonu weren't thinking, huh, maybe it might be wise to keep Jelinski. However, we saw it from Sam,
Starting point is 00:27:06 we saw it from Annika, and I was really impressed to see that. And I was honestly shocked watching it because I remember before the season started, I was like, oh, John's the first boot. Like, I can just tell. But then watching the episode, I was like, damn, John's actually playing a really great game. And then I was shocked even more when I saw Andy leave and I was jealous. I was like, damn, John's actually playing a really great game. And then I was shocked even plan and we saw him uh talk to Saul about what was going on he called Saul out Chappelle did you like how Andy was handling uh talking to Saul yeah I think he had to do this but this is probably a conversation that happens on every season every time someone's left out of a vote or every time someone votes for the wrong you know votes for the wrong person or whatever you you always come to them and say,
Starting point is 00:28:06 so I was the backup plan, right? Why me? And that person probably doesn't have a good answer. It's probably like, because I don't want to work with you that much, you know, but they can't tell you that because then now the target is on them. So Saul's kind of waffling like, yeah, I mean, I had to save myself
Starting point is 00:28:18 and your name was thrown out. Well, who threw your name out? Oh, you know, it was here and there, Sam. It's like, oh, Sam did it? You know? Yeah. Okay. Andy got the information he needed.
Starting point is 00:28:28 He got the information that he needed. And Chappelle, I just wanted to play this clip. This is from Andy talking to Saul about why, Saul,
Starting point is 00:28:36 but why me? Okay. So you're very confident that he has an idol and he's going to play it. Right. That means you're very confident that you're sending me home.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Well, of everyone on God's green earth. Well, is Andy a Deep Cut Suits of Yourself podcast fan? Is that an Anita Gibbs shout out? Duh. You think Andy don't listen? Listen, Andy is one of us. Okay, he listens. So he knew.
Starting point is 00:29:04 But it's a great question. So all you had, you could have put the vote on anybody. You chose me. That means you're okay with me leaving. That means we're not working together that closely. What can we do to either fix that or should I be coming after you next? You know? And so Saul does exactly what he needs to do. He throws Sam under the bus and that gets the wheel spinning for Andy. Jelinski, what are you thinking about Survivor now with these new,
Starting point is 00:29:24 these new montages they play where you can see people's thought processes, flashbacks and stuff like that in their minds? I feel like this is the Banu effect. You know, I feel like this is kind of the kind of game we were getting from Banu. Oh, man. Yeah, I think, well, Banu is certainly one of a kind. You know, that guy has a gem,
Starting point is 00:29:41 and I think about him feeding me coconut every single day. Whenever I get hungry, I say, gosh, I wish Banu was here to feed me. But I'm a huge Survivor Montage fan. I love watching it from a viewer's perspective, and especially for someone like Andy, who he started so poorly that it's almost better to have a start like that because it really lets you maneuver however you want to maneuver. And you're playing balls to the wall 100 percent from the get go.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So it's really, really interesting seeing that from a player like Andy's perspective. Yeah, Jalisco, I totally agree. I've been saying all season that Andy's at the bottom and he knows it. You know, like a lot of people like Rachel, she didn't know she was at the bottom until it was too late. You know what I'm saying? Like same thing with Tiana. She thought she had a crew. And then she's, like, going out blindsided. It's better to know where you stand in the tribe. And Andy has always known that, except for the moments when he doesn't. But very quickly after, he figures it out.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Because next thing you know, we see Andy scribbling in the sand. Rob, he's got this whole plan where he's, like, writing people's name down. He's doing calculus again. Yeah. Well, I think that the brilliant thing about what Andy is able to do is, you know, and I think, I don't think that this is like a completely intentional where he's like
Starting point is 00:30:53 trying to do bad at things. But I think that he is very keenly aware of how he is perceived in the truck. And maybe almost like has like a superpower that's maybe a little like too heightened where back in the first episode where he's like oh okay they're not cheering for me when i open the coconut that's bad people are happy but but i think and and maybe so it's a little overly sensitive but he's very tapped into how he's uh perceived by the people and so i think that he's able to like take advantage of the fact that people just
Starting point is 00:31:25 think he's a goof. Yeah. I mean, it works until it doesn't work. Right. So had there been an idol, right. Or a shot in the dark and it landed, then Andy would be gone. But because he's here, he's like, no, I saw what just happened. And my, my little radar is going off. Like you said, it's sensitive, but it's going off. It's off the, it's off the scales at this point right i gotta vote so now i gotta figure out what to do with that information um funny enough sue voted for andy too right is that just like an unknown vote no one's gonna talk about yeah and maybe they blame it on rome yeah maybe who voted for sam like what are they getting it what are we doing here we're not gonna talk about it yeah they're not gonna talk about it i guess we're not gonna discuss it so uh you know good on saul for flipping this back on sam but also good on
Starting point is 00:32:09 andy for being able to pivot he's like all right sam and sierra now i'm looking back i'm recalibrating i'm looking at all the all the things that happened this season i actually don't think i could trust them that well i need to find other people you know who can play a game with me other people who don't have number ones uh and so Saul is that it's not an awful choice you know he doesn't really have a number one and then uh Genevieve comes and pick up all the pieces too with Andy she's uh decided she wants to be his number one yeah okay Jelinski what do you think about a Genevieve and Andy pairing oh my gosh I love it I mean Genevieve was also someone I was not high on at all before the season started I thought Genevieve might have
Starting point is 00:32:44 been the first what What did you see? There were a few things. I mean, the one thing being she was private on social media, which might be me reading a little too much into it. You just don't really see that. Explain that. Okay, so she's made her social media private. You felt like, okay, first boot.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah. Your Jelinski-dar was going up. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was going crazy. I know a first boot when I see jelinski dar was going up oh my god yeah it was going crazy i know a first boot when i see one because i'll tell you that you could but you're the opposite uh because i i met you back a year ago uh you came to brea and you were so friendly and you were so outgoing that there was no i said this guy is probably going all the way. You know, I actually got that from a lot of people that I was just meeting and it's just funny how that happens. I don't know. It, it all depends on who you are as a person, I guess. And me being such a big fan. I mean, I remember before I got the call that I was going to be on the show,
Starting point is 00:33:40 I was already thinking about how my RHAP interviews were going to go. Yeah, deep dive. Yeah, exactly. I was ready to do a deep dive. I mean, I thought I was already thinking about how my RHAP interviews were going to go. So I was ready to do a deep dive. I mean, I thought I was going to win the whole damn thing, actually. So when it comes to Genevieve and having her social media is private, I guess you just don't really see that. And there was a part of me, trust me, it's just not who I am. But part of me was like, man, I just want to delete social media. I don't want to ever show my face. I don't want to have a watch party. So that made me really think that, wow, Genevieve is going to be one of, if not the first out.
Starting point is 00:34:10 And especially not seeing her in the first few episodes. I was like, there's no way she ever gets her footing in the game. Yeah, I was wrong. Look at her now. I met Jelinski the same day you met Jelinski, and I had different thoughts. But I was very happy that he did not yeah, he knows. I was very happy
Starting point is 00:34:27 though that Jelinski made a good showing on the show. As he knows, I'm also one of his biggest fans. I got his t-shirt and everything. I'm down. I'm in for a reason. Well, listen, I wore it yesterday. That's why I couldn't wear it today. But you met Jelinski and you felt like he's not going to do well? I felt like he was too
Starting point is 00:34:43 nice. I was like, he's nice. He's young. I think he just turned, what, 21, 22 at the time? I can live with that. I can live with that perspective. He's a little too nice. I was like, he's nice. He's young.
Starting point is 00:34:55 He's a baby. You know, I was like, this is going to be like, hey, this man, he's going to get out here. And he's going to be playing with some sharks. Now, we did not know that the sharks would be, you know, Q and Tiffany and Banu. But these are big old fish, big old sharks that were coming for my boy. But Now, we did not know that the sharks would be Q and Tiffany and Banu, but these are big old fish. Big old sharks that were coming for my boy. But again, he did the right thing. He didn't shut down his social media and go on private.
Starting point is 00:35:12 He definitely was a good sport about it. Had the watch party and everything. Was in the tweets. Getting to the Twitter beef. Did the interviews. He was a fun time. And that's why he's legendary, y'all. They kept talking about him throughout the season. Exactly. And so, I think he's right. I think a first boot, probably the natural inclination is to just shut it down and be like, I'm not in it. But you know, baby Andy isn't on social media either. And he has been having a
Starting point is 00:35:32 hell of a run. So, you know, can't look too far into that stuff. So it's a new year. You know what that means? Setting big goals. Maybe you promised yourself you're going to hit the gym every day. Or maybe you said you're going to learn to make fire with a flint for once, or the classic save more money.

Starting point is 00:37:59 47 than 46 because i feel like this is i know it's the new era and I know that, okay, Hey, we're not giving them anything, but just, just to give you the last couple of episodes here, uh, we've gotten,
Starting point is 00:38:13 okay. We had the, we had the survivor social, uh, and then we had after that, then there was the, the mergatory half the people got to eat. Then,
Starting point is 00:38:23 then this episode we had then okay then we're going to split you into two tribes one tribe is going to eat next week is the auction coming up you know yeah the only person that hasn't gotten to eat anything is gabe and maybe that's why he's a little cranky maybe i mean and it's apparent you know they're definitely getting fed a little bit more and i feel like it's just something survivor wants to apparent you know they're definitely getting fed a little bit more and i feel like it's just something survivor wants to try you know they're trying it out some some more rewards some more food and i'll show you this no one ate more than me i was out there eating what did you eat oh my gosh well i mean considering i wasn't on the island for very long i was having
Starting point is 00:38:59 garlic prawns garlic prawns i didn't even know that was an option. What garlic prawn? It was that or seafood pizza. And that you don't really ever want to even see. Oh, you're talking about Ponderosa? Yeah, obviously. He was only on the island for three seconds. He's not dead. I thought he made it sound like he was eating a bunch on the island.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That's why they voted him out. He's out there eating garlic prawns. They're like, he's got to go. I was a was a minute seeing my mind was on the game so much i didn't realize how hungry i was till i was on the boat and that's just three days then i was having milkshakes every day i had like three milkshakes a day to replace my venti iced white chocolate mocha from starbucks which i have today but anyways i'm getting on a tangent um survivors definitely providing some food to these people and i don't think a lot i mean i don't care whatever yeah um you should suffer jelinski i have questions though you so it's been a while i'm pretty sure you are you off from underneath cbs's thumb a
Starting point is 00:39:58 little bit how much can you tell us about ponderosa what is it like when you are at ponderosa the first boot and then you're like the mayor of Ponderosa? People are coming in and you get to the point where, I mean, even Mergatory, people are still coming into Ponderosa, right? What is it the atmosphere like as new people are coming? Oh, my God. I mean, I loved it specifically because I wanted to hear everything that was going on in the game. And, you know, I genuinely felt like I was still playing as people were coming through. So I think Jess being the second person to come through really helped me settle down because it gave me answers immediately. And she told me that she hated everybody, which made me like it even more. It was amazing. I love seeing people come through.
Starting point is 00:40:38 However, you know, sometimes you did see someone come through who was super, super hurt. I don't think to the levels that Tiana was, and I'm sure Rome took it well, but I'd say the person who was definitely hurt the most was probably Jem or Tim. They were both, you know, they just felt cut by the Sega tribe and they were so, so happy, go lucky that tribe specifically. It's also painful seeing people come through with their dreams shattered. You know, that sucks. You know, John Lovett talked a lot about how he got to talk to everybody as they came through.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Have, have you connected with John Lovett Jelinski as a fellow first boot? I haven't had the honor. Um, I hope that John Lovett knows who I am. I hope Billy Eilish knows who I am. But hopefully eventually John and I will be able to connect because I would love to connect to my first boots or some of my favorite people I've met. Like I got to meet Reem. I got to meet Darnell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And they're all so great. Like, so the first boots are usually the coolest people. Is there a group text? Not yet. We're working on it. Some people are hard to get a hold of. They're famous, like John. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:49 John Levin had all those great conversations with those people at Ponderosa and then never talked to them again, I'm sure. Good luck. Alright, so there was quite a spread at this reward challenge. Here's Jeff hyping it up.
Starting point is 00:42:05 The winning six will go back to camp and enjoy an afternoon of baby back ribs. Okay. Potato salad. Chappelle, these people loved potato salad. Which is crazy because potato salad is fine. You know what I'm saying? And I've had some really good potato salad, but I would never go up for potato salad. Nobody had a better episode. Give the fishy because potato salad is fine. You know what I'm saying? I've had some really good potato salad, but I would never go up for potato salad. Nobody had a better episode.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Give the fishy to potato salad. Oh my God, not since Applebee's have we just seen so much of inflated excitement for food, you know? Potato salad? And ribs first, you know? Corn on the cob. Beer and soft drinks.
Starting point is 00:42:49 You know, Bruce and Kendra and mom and Jay had to eat a chicken with no utensils. Like, how do they decide what these rewards are and what they aren't? I don't know. Give them a rotisserie chicken, no forks. Right. No napkins, nothing. chicken, no forks. Right. No napkins, nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Potato salad, you know, beer, soft drinks. And this is not, again, this is not technically the merge feast, right? This is something else. Something else. Half of these people didn't even do good at the challenge. I mean, some of these people fell out after five seconds. They get to eat. They just happened to have picked the same color
Starting point is 00:43:26 rock as Kyle. I think it depends on who Jeff likes more. I'm sorry, as Heaney and Genevieve. Yeah, but be honest. Do you like this, Rob? I don't care. The tribal council
Starting point is 00:43:41 or the reward? The way they even split the tribal council rob it's i picked these random teams right it's it's a rock draw you can get in this challenge if you lose the challenge nothing happens if you win the challenge you you don't even have to win the challenge you just have to outlast the other side and then one of them will get immunity but you won't get anything like teeny and genevieve right there were the last two standing on a period nothing happened like they don't get anything special they, Taney and Genevieve, right, they were the last two standing, period. Nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Like, they don't get anything special. They go on the same reward as the person who went and dropped first. You know, to me, it's kind of weird. I think you've got to incentivize people to want to do well in a challenge. I mean, don't get me wrong. Getting the feast is some incentive, but don't I get anything for being like,
Starting point is 00:44:19 I don't want to say the sole survivor, but there was two of us left. It really, it doesn't bother me. This is a tough spot in the game in terms of what they want to say the sole survivor, but there was two of us left. It really, it doesn't bother me. This is a tough spot in the game in terms of what they want to do. Like I really, I have said that I think that the solve for this is to go from three tribes to two tribes and have a couple of tribal councils. If you want to split people up so bad,
Starting point is 00:44:37 go to two tribes. We can have that for an episode or two. The problem is they have like, you know, it's, it's tough to make the show about like a 13 person tribal council, a 12 person tribal council. Usually you don't get that much exciting stuff. So I think that they try to say, okay, well, let's like split the baby in half
Starting point is 00:44:56 and then we'll get at least a exciting vote out of the smaller group. But I just don't think that you need to try to work it so hard when there's a easier way to do that why did kyle get the immunity idol why he didn't deserve he didn't win he came in third yeah he came in third and he got the immunity it was literally like that meme of the guy on the podium that's like it gives the champagne and then pull away and there's genevieve and teeny in first and second yeah nothing they didn't get anything saul got an advantage like bro why didn't they get an advantage you know what i'm saying like kyle didn't even win the challenge and and then you send the blue tribe essentially with kyle with the event with the immunity but he didn't need it
Starting point is 00:45:39 like you you could have just sent him without it like kyle sorry y'all are all going because you lost you know i don't know i feel like it's too cute jelinski how do you feel well honestly i hadn't i put much thought into it but what you just said i agree with that you know he did not win the challenge whatever like i would have been much more interested to see everybody up for grabs that tribal council and who know i don't know how the season's gonna shake out so. So Genevieve and Tini, that could have been on their personal accolade list. Everyone has a survivor bucket list and just may, they might not win a individual immunity this season. And that could have been it right there.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Yeah. You know, Jeff seemed very excited though, about the, the random draw that ultimately resulted in this. And he was really hyping up after we got the schoolyard pick the week before but we came back this week to the random draw and jeff uh seemed so excited about it that after we saw rachel get in a very bad position jeff comes back uh and uh tells us this is why
Starting point is 00:46:41 we need to apply for survivor random draws are unpredictable that's why they're so much fun apply to be on survivor chappelle who's like oh you know what that random draw that is pretty fun all right get the get the phone i'm making my tape now you know what i would really like to be in a very good position due to my stellar gameplay and all the time practicing for this and in a random draw i could be in a random draw i could be in a random draw against five people from another tribe with almost no chance of living except for i don't know uh the survivor god stepping in and being like here's all give this to them you know no no jeff this is the wrong thing you should be saying whoa don't let that that that random draw stop you from applying for Survivor. Check out our website here.
Starting point is 00:47:25 He took the wrong approach as far as I'm concerned. Oh, you know what could get people to apply? This swing set. Jelinski, would it even have occurred to you while you were on Survivor to make a swing? Because every time you look up, Gabe's on the swing. I think Deanna's on the swing.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Yeah, Rachel was on the swing. Rachel's on the swing. Why is this a thing? Who doesn't love being on a swing. I think Deanna's on the swing. I think Rachel's on the swing. Why is this a thing? Who doesn't love being on a swing, right? I mean, if I saw that... Sweet Kenny K from Big Brother loves it. We love swingers.
Starting point is 00:47:55 We love pineapples. I didn't get what he was looking for. I was like, oh shit, yeah, you're totally right. Breaking news. Breaking news. Sam's a pineapple guy. Yeah. And Gabe's a swinger.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Listen, we're learning so much about these people. You know. I love it. I also have a quick, I don't know. I still try to figure out how I feel too about them
Starting point is 00:48:17 having the split tribal council as well as the split, like the tribes going to different islands. I think it'd been cool had they gone to the same beach. You know, despite having to, you know, only half of them yeah having to you know vote i think that it's coming it's just like they're making you wait uh like they're like trying to stretch it out
Starting point is 00:48:35 like again there's still 12 people in the show in this in this week next week you're gonna have 11 they shouldn't emerge then they shouldn't have been lying to us about this merch survivor 50 for me one world this thing put them all on the same beach from day one and just say go every every episode you're on a different tribe we're just gonna random draw this thing until we get down and see what happens because that's what we're running out of time you can't merge at 16 random draw random draws are unpredictable that's why they're so much fun apply to be a survivor that's so much fun that's why why yeah that's not gonna keep anybody from applying yeah okay all right so everybody uh is split up and we see it's the tuku tribe plus r, you know, this is a tough spot for Rachel to be in.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Jelinski, did you see hope for Rachel prior to her getting the advantage? Oh, absolutely. In fact, I remember looking back thinking, oh, yeah, they don't like Tiana anyway. Like they already have beef. I thought she was going to be out immediately. And that actually surprised me with Dave, how easily he went along with just voting out Rachel. That didn't seem very Dave-like to me. I agree.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I thought he would have tried a gun for Tiana. He mentioned it a few episodes ago already. Sue and Caroline are tight with them. So I was very surprised by that. And I thought Rachel had a really good chance of breaking some cracks right there. Yeah I was very surprised by that. And I thought Rachel had a really good chance of breaking some cracks right there. Yeah, that's a good point because Chappelle, Caroline seemed like very
Starting point is 00:50:09 much aware of like, hey, okay, even if we go back with the five of us, they're going to vote out Gabe. Gabe did not seem to be super tapped into that line of thinking. No. I mean, for Gabe, he knows at least one person in this tribe
Starting point is 00:50:26 has actively tried to get him voted out. And that's Tiana. You know, Sue has run back and said, no, we had our little charcuterie meet and greet. Your name when it came up. So for him, it's like, sure, I might get voted out if we come back and we're five strong. But this lady's okay with me going right now.
Starting point is 00:50:42 And I'm not okay with that. You know, and then who is the decoy plan? He to float caroline as the the the other option like yeah caroline she don't even believe him yeah but uh he was gonna vote out rachel he was not gonna vote out tiana if they just had uh had saul not played the advantage on rachel you do you think he was gonna stick to that though i think so because that he and I wish I Sam could we get the picture of the like the Jim Halpert face that he makes when he hugs Rachel
Starting point is 00:51:11 like he's deaf. So he's making a face to the camera breaking the fourth wall. So he's definitely lying to Rachel. So I think he was just trying to get Rachel not to play her shot in the dark so he could vote her out which is wild which is very wild you know like you think like he said you would think uh Tiana would just be
Starting point is 00:51:29 right there like a sitting duck but that's what I thought too and I really thought that uh what was going to happen was Rachel was going to go back and tell Gabe hey Tiana was saying vote you out what that's it yeah I'm done with Tiana uh her dream her dreams are over i'm taking her out and it didn't seem like that that's what he was what he was trying to do like uh here's the picture of gabe hugging rachel this is not the face of a man who's about to keep his word to rachel and vote out tiana that's real Yeah. Good point. It's wild that you make this face and then Rachel's still there, though. You know, that kind of sucks. He's like, this is your big moment.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Yeah, but this is your big moment, right? In the edit, this is supposed to be your math and stroke. Like, look at Gabe. He's always got to figure out the most. When they come back, he's got to be like, oh, Rachel, why'd you leave? We were voting out Tiana. And Tiana's like, I thought you told me we were voting out Carolineiana and Tiana's like I thought you told me we were voting out Caroline
Starting point is 00:52:26 like oh but we needed your vote for that then we had to vote out Tiana because you weren't there does Rachel really have to leave couldn't she have gone and just sat on the bench with everybody else I think that would have been more fair it is a little weird she had to go home by herself I would have really enjoyed that
Starting point is 00:52:42 watching Rachel watch the tribal council you know I didn't miss her presence there and yeah I don't know what Gabe I would have really enjoyed that, watching Rachel watch the Tribal Council. You know, I didn't miss her presence there. And yeah, I don't know what Gabe was doing there. I was confused about that. Yeah. All right. So this Tuku tribe, they have to go to the Tribal Council and they have to talk about what is going on here.
Starting point is 00:53:02 A couple of interesting quotes. We spent a lot of time at Tribal Council. Okay. First, Kyle is asked about Rachel's situation here in the tribe. She did her job trying to find cracks and may have found some, and she did her little wiggle. Okay. She did her wiggle in the crack. Yeah. Who doesn't love a little wiggle in the crack? that's where saul put his advantage when he found it just lifted wiggled it right down
Starting point is 00:53:30 you don't think that they took the paper that was in saul's crack and then gave that to rachel right do you think they had two pieces of paper yeah someone was typing furiously away at the typewriter you know while this was happening like he just put it in his crack. Oh God, I got to get another way to print it off. We just typed this when we saw the tribe swap. We just typed this up. What are you doing putting that in your ass? Yeah. Jeff asked Tiana about what's going on here
Starting point is 00:53:58 with this tribe. Tiana, I find it fascinating that you have five TuKu members all maybe independently thinking, how could I use Rachel? You really just put our pickle on blast. You really just put our pickle on blast. That's what our JP did to Jelinski. Did you ever get your pickle put on blast?
Starting point is 00:54:22 Yeah. By a RHAP. Next thing I know they were, I was just getting rhap next thing i know they were i was just getting lunch and next thing i know my monster is trending on twitter i said let me check this out you really just put our pickle on blast jeff i was so i was so proud of my boy i said look at jelinski get the spotlight he deserves that was the name of the episode you put our pickle on blast that was not the name of the episode stop lying that's the name of the episode for real i think it was that you just made that up stop playing with me i'm not joking
Starting point is 00:54:56 you put the pickle on blast that is not no stop it yeah our pickle on blast. That is not a... No, stop it. Yeah, our pickle on blast was the name of the episode. What made her think of that, too? I've never heard a saying like that. And I'm all for making sayings. Yeah. That was outrageous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:20 I wasn't going to put my pickle on blast. That sounds like a good time. You really just put our pickle on blast, Jeff. Yeah. Okay. Full-time boogie. Full-time boogie. You just put our pickle on blast.
Starting point is 00:55:35 And then earlier in the episode, they tried to put Sue's pickle on blast. Wait, so they told me, I can't believe you don't play pickleball. I'm like being a Tennessee Reds fan. I have played it, but it's not. I play racquetball every day. Jelinski, you play pickleball?
Starting point is 00:55:51 You know, I've never played pickleball before. But I'm sure I'd be amazing at it. Yeah. Chappelle, was Sierra trying to low-key aid shame Sue by saying, Sue, you must play pickleball? Well, Sue's the one who leaned into it because she said, no, girl, I play racquetball. I said, whew, that's a different bracket.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Okay. Pickleball is for a person of a certain age. Racquetball is right above that. You know, one of my mentors plays racquetball to this day, and he's about 81, and he's been doing it for a long time. You know, I think it's an evolution to this. You know, Jalitzki's too young for pickleball. I think
Starting point is 00:56:23 Sierra was getting, she was like, okay, so you 45 pickleball. She said, nah, racket ball. I was like, Ooh, Hey, that's one of them. That's like, that's like a shuffleboard, you know, that's right up there. Jeff asked Rachel about her situation. All right. So Rachel three this afternoon, the subject line is easy. Vote, vote, vote vote i'ma vote this is like my gmail inbox right now text messages all kinds of stuff yeah leave me alone
Starting point is 00:56:53 i already voted damn come on yeah yeah hey it's me rachel again just want to remind you vote vote i'll be texting back leave me alone I'm about to take my vote back. Leave me alone. The drive is spoken, Rachel. Yeah. Right, God. Hey, it's Tiana. Help put our pickle on blast.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Real. Yeah. Okay. So, Rachel. I'm sorry, Rob. So, I got to, while this is on my mind, I'm just thinking about Kyle now and Sue's age, Kyle, when he asked Sue about how old she was, she goes, Oh, I'm 45. He goes, wow. That's really incredible. Like it's the craziest thing he's ever heard.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Like he is shocked that Sue is 45 years old out on the Island. Yeah. He didn't even believe that. And I thought that was hilarious. ever heard. Like, he is shocked that Sue is 45 years old out on the island. He genuinely believed that. And I thought that was hilarious. One of the funniest moments of the season for sure. Well, it's just that his math wasn't adding up. Because in his head, he went into the conversation to be like, you Sue have lived such a long life. You know,
Starting point is 00:57:58 I'm sure you have stories and grandchildren you could tell us about. And she's like, I'm 45. He's like, whoo, and that's amazing because I really thought, really had he said well hopefully you got a few more years in you live what do you say rob god willing you know you got plenty of life uh that don't get me wrong tomorrow is not promised but it was the energy just came from a different place, Jalinski. Oh, man. I thought that was so funny. Yeah. Rachel gets the advantage,
Starting point is 00:58:30 and she is reminded of some words that were given to her by her husband. My husband gave me a couple words of wisdom before I came out here, and one of them was, do not go home with something in your pocket. Do not go home with something in your pocket. But then why she's trying to stick all the rice in your pocket. Do not go home with something in your pocket, but then why she's trying to stick all the rice in her pocket. She wasn't going home with it, Rob. She's trying to eat that today.
Starting point is 00:58:52 It wasn't a souvenir, Rob. That lady was hungry. I have a real issue with this as well. I guess I'm just going to complain on this episode of Club Condo. Bear with me. You know, they watched your season, Jalitzky, and they said these people are just not using these advantages we're going to make it impossible to not use our advantage
Starting point is 00:59:09 so not only are we going to put you in a situation where you have to use it we're going to give you two options of which advantage you can use and we're going to say you got to use it tonight do not screw this up yes i don't want to go home with something in my pocket. Like, yeah, because you have, you can only play this tonight. What reason would you have for not using this? Like, what could you possibly gain from being like, I think I'm going to sell this. Rachel was an alternate on Survivor 46. So maybe she just wanted the homage.
Starting point is 00:59:39 What were the vibes like, Jelinski, for Rachel? I loved Rachel. I thought she was amazing. I remember this one moment in particular. For some reason, all of us were in Ponderosa and it just started downpouring rain and she was outside. So she had to run through the rain
Starting point is 00:59:56 while all of us were just watching her. We were watching her for about five minutes until she ran into the shelter. It was just absolutely the funniest thing ever. She's on the freaking alternate. I'm getting rained on. Exactly. Maybe she just has bad luck.
Starting point is 01:00:10 She's like, I get rock-drawed to the team of all other people. I guess Saul sends her advantage, but then David Bloomberg is picking on her. Yeah. I mean, hey, maybe her bad luck happened in 46 and 47's turning around. My friend gets blindsided. It's not the worst luck.
Starting point is 01:00:30 You know, she could have been on Survivor 46 and then she'd hate her entire cast. Okay. All right. So Sue ends up going, I'm sorry, not Sue. Rachel ends up leaving the tribal council and then they have to decide on what to do.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Jelinski, what were you thinking about Tiana as she's talking to Jeff and then everybody else is just talking behind her back? It was a hard watch. And I was actually surprised at how cool Tiana was keeping her head during that moment because if I heard people talking behind me, I would have immediately shot up and try to do something.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Yeah. Is it rude to do that? You know, Jeff, I got, I got to stop, right. I got to pay attention to what's going on here with all due respect. Oh no, not rude to Jeff at all. In fact, it's rude of, I hate to say it's rude of the other players, but if I, if someone started talking behind me, I would have been like, Oh hell no. Like that's not good. Yeah. No matter who it was. Cause Chappelle, I think you're in a tough spot there where it's like, Jeff just asked her a question and she's like, okay, I gotta try to answer this question. I gotta give Jeff a good answer, but there's a lot of stuff happening in my peripheral vision. I was like, uh, you know, Jeff, can I take a time out here?
Starting point is 01:01:50 I can't, I can't concentrate on answering this question. I commend anybody who goes on this show because I say all the time that I don't have the capacity to play this game. And here's one of the reasons why I wish somebody would tell me I'm being rude for not listening and talking to Jeff while people are whispering behind my back. I wish Jeff would say it to me. Chappelle, I asked you a question and you're worried about what's going on behind you. Yeah, Jeff, you just gave my enemy a damn advantage. What? Yeah, you're rude. How about you get out of my face while I go talk to... What are you talking about? This lady just left the tribal council. You don't
Starting point is 01:02:13 call me rude. You did this to me. I was fine. It's crazy to say, but Jeff is the least important person to talk to at that tribal council. I literally wouldn't even look in his direction. He'd be like, Rachel, Jeff, leave me alone. I don't have time for this. I got a lot of other stuff going on right now, Jeff.
Starting point is 01:02:31 The person you should be talking to is Sue because she is working her ass off to make sure you go home. She goes to Gabe, just so you know, Tiana's throwing your name out. Just so you know. She's a thousand percent, a billion effing percent. Sue was going hard.
Starting point is 01:02:45 You think I'm going to talk to Jeff? Jeff, if you wanted to save me, you would have gave me that advantage. Okay. You did it. Leave me alone. We'll talk afterwards. We'll talk when somebody else goes home right now. No.
Starting point is 01:02:55 So now I don't play the shot. Did she play her shot in the dark? No. I'm saying, listen, she wasn't tapped in. She should have thought it's not going her way, man. Jeff is a distraction, if nothing else. Yeah. Jelinski, what'd you make of Saul's acting performance?
Starting point is 01:03:10 A lot of people were very impressed with Saul and his ability to sell what, that he did not know who had the advantage. A lot of people were impressed by Saul's acting. You know, Saul's a poker player. He's very familiar with Las Vegas, where I'm born and raised. I thought he oversold it. And, you know, I'm just a viewer.
Starting point is 01:03:32 When he goes, the what? The what without power? Right there. And we see Genevieve kind of clock him, I feel like. She's sitting right next to him, and she's like, okay. Who doesn't know the safety without power advantage you knew what you were signing up for you know the what i thought that was hilarious dude like come on don't overdo it yeah you're not wrong i saw a screenshot of genevieve as well it
Starting point is 01:03:57 looked like everybody else was tapped in i gotta go back and look at that i gotta go see i'm gonna try let me try to find it while we're while we're still talking because it's good but yeah for a minute I was definitely like Genevieve sees straight through this now whether she does or not it's hard to tell but it definitely looked like it for sure I rewatched the episode this morning I was a little impressed by Saul's like that he's just like
Starting point is 01:04:18 his like reactions just like because he was they put him in the middle of the whole group and so he's just like back because he was they put him in the middle of the whole group and so he's just like back and forth like i feel like it's almost better to not say anything and just give those facial expressions yeah juliski what should saul do after this tribal council does he can he tell anybody what he did that's a great question honestly, I feel like some of these things are better to just keep to your chest, you know, and reveal it at final tribal if you can make it there. And Saul, I feel like he's just one of those people out on the island that he I feel like he is an honest guy.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Like, I feel he has a really good stand up reputation, almost like Kyle. So whatever he decides to say, I feel like can be taken as the truth. Mm hmm. OK. kyle so whatever he decides to say i feel like can be taken as the truth okay anything else from uh this uh episode that was uh on your mind jelinski yes seeing tiana leave was hard um i i wish i mean obviously in retrospect there are some things that i had wish i said when leaving um like what what do you wish you said well um rob this is about to be big i've been waiting to say this for maybe a year and it's been on my mind ever since i got voted out granted i didn't know how how much of um a phenomenon or not a phenomenon, like a presence I would be even when I got voted out.
Starting point is 01:05:46 I wish that I said, Jeff, wait, now I'm forgetting it. All the pressure's on me. Oh my god. I wanted to say something along the lines of, Jeff, not all legends win their first time around,
Starting point is 01:06:00 or something like that. So seeing Tiana leave and But you were stunned right you didn't know you were gonna go on that's kind of what i'm getting at i was stunned i was so pissed at these people and i'd rather not say yeah it's i love you guys it's hard because i think you like a lot of times especially if you get blindsided um you want to have like an authentic reaction and i don't think like the fans would even like it if you just had like like canned material ready to go. And so I think that these last couple of tribal council boots have been very raw. And I think that that like emotion like comes out like Jeff takes it very seriously. And so like I think that the audience likes it when people take it seriously yeah i mean that's the thing that you guys were talking about last episode is how jeff kind of
Starting point is 01:06:50 knew that rome was gonna go home so he kind of granted his his wish of sitting on his stool and but once he got voted out you know there is such a somber tone to it and rome took it very well but jeff understands that this is soul-crushing. And you can... Tiana and Annika weeping as they're walking off. Oh, that hurt. That hurt. Yeah. Big blindside this season, for sure. I think
Starting point is 01:07:15 you can always tell how jarring a blindside is because they're so disoriented. It's like you literally got punched, you know? I think Tiana leaves her, you know, she leaves her stuff. She's like, oh, hold on. Let me go back and grab a thing. And then, you know, we've seen people forget their torch, you know uh see i think tiana leaves her you know she leaves her stuff she's like oh hold on let me go back and grab a thing and then go you know we see people forget their torch you know um anika she just stops and has to just take it in because she's like literally trying to figure out where it all went wrong asia is looking menacing as well like i mean everybody is just getting like the roughest blind sides i think this might be one of the seasons where they
Starting point is 01:07:41 don't really get along that well i think 45 is such an outlier because so many people in the pre-merge that went home weren't even trying that hard to be in the game and so they didn't take it as hard you know but now that people are playing as hard uh yeah all this stuff stings and now you know i'm starting to see a little where the beef is coming from but jelinski do you think that there's been like a shift because i feel like that in the beginning of the new era like there were players that got voted out and then they said like, oh, you got me. You got me. Good job. You got me. And Jeff like, wow, that's really what we like to see. That's good sportsmanship. I really like that.
Starting point is 01:08:18 And now that was more common. And now people are like really in their feelings. Do you feel like that that is a coincidence or it's that's where the show wants it to go? Now that was more common and now people are like really in their feelings. Do you feel like that that is it a coincidence or it's that that's where the show wants it to go? Well, I mean, that's how you do it on Survivor. Yeah, I do feel like that is where the show wants it to go. And I think it starts with casting. I think a lot more fans are being on the show these days.
Starting point is 01:08:49 And now, you know, I do think New Era, there's a lot more fans, but now specifically you can see everyone's playing with their hearts in it. And I feel like the viewers are really eating it up. I mean, I know I am, I love seeing people invested in the game and then seeing them seeing their dreams get crushed. I mean, that's what happened to me. And, uh, well, I hated watching it, but I love watching it for everybody else. And I hate to say it. You know, it's interesting, though, that after these blindsides, I used to talk about this on the Evolution of Strategy. Like sometimes like it used to be on Survivor. You have a big blindside and Jeff would kind of like chastise the contestants a little bit of like, well, that's a funny way of showing that you have loyalty to this group. Looks like it's going to be a long night for you all back at camp.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Like he would come back and like, say something like, um, that would sort of be like, well, that's, that's, uh, you guys have a lot of issues to work out in this tribe. Um, but, and so he doesn't like editorialize it, but he also doesn't ever, like after a big blindside, give them like a, now that's how you do it on survivors like he doesn't like applaud a blindside either either like i used to say like on uh like moral combat where you'd be like uh like excellent like uh you know flawless victory uh
Starting point is 01:10:00 he doesn't he doesn't give that either it's just interesting that he doesn't like editorialize at all. Like, okay. Well struck. Yeah, that is interesting. And I do feel like that's kind of where the direction of the show has gone. Blindside speak for themselves. He likes it. Say it again.
Starting point is 01:10:17 He likes it. Oh, I'm sure he loves it. Oh yeah. I feel like there's almost something more of not saying anything at all. If I were Jeff, like it's so something more of not saying anything at all if i were jeff like it's so loud a blind side afterwards but i do kind of miss a a nice little salty comment every now and then and honestly that's something that i haven't even realized until you just brought it up yeah he doesn't do that anymore yeah okay yeah uh i think we have a picture
Starting point is 01:10:42 yes it's not the best one but i think we have one if of Genevieve's reaction. It's not the best one, but I think we have one. If you check the private chat on the, Sam, share, share me the picture, the screen share or whatever of the photo. Did Genevieve know what was going on here? Let's see. Well, just look at her face. Look at Saul. Come on, Saul. Stop it. Notching, notching, notching, notching. She definitely like, please You know like
Starting point is 01:11:05 Saul is looking so straight ahead He looks so suspicious Yeah He looks so suspicious Are you leaning towards it being Saul Genevieve? And The scales be tipping Still tipping
Starting point is 01:11:22 Even You know Yeah It does That screenshot Again These screenshots could be taken in whatever order blah blah blah blah his moments could have been seconds later or whatever but it's still a good look for genevieve as somebody we know is a shrewd player uh and yeah she's looking at him like i don't know about all of that so um yeah maybe he's not doing the best acting job
Starting point is 01:11:42 it also looks like he's the only person still acting like he's confused. Look at the rest of Drive. Andy looks fine. Sam's fine. Teeny kind of looks amazed. But Saul looks legitimately like, huh? Yeah. He's doing like when Danny did,
Starting point is 01:11:56 Jeff, can I do De Niro face? Oh, no. Yeah. At least try to act engaged in the moment. It's like, so safety without power. What is that? You're going to safety me without power? Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:17 It was Halloween this week, Jelinski. I know you were ghost face, but another member of Survivor 47 posted their costume on the app formerly known as Twitter. Here's Anika. Anika says featured in these photos, two things Sam never originally gave a chance. Anika and Pineapple. Here she is.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Well done. Pineapple onesie is dope. I'll take it. There you go. I don't know. Sam maybe didn't want to give Anika a try, but officially breaking news. Sam's a pineapple guy.
Starting point is 01:13:11 Who knows? Yeah, maybe. I don't know how Sam does, but Survivor's second chances. Maybe Anika will be given a second try by Sam. We'll see what happens. OK. All right. And then some other survivors uh were out here survivors impersonating survivors jelinski okay uh here's a little flavor of survivor 46 here is your friend in mind mariah gainer says hello it is i applebee's loving rumored billionaire Liz Wilcox. I can't spot a difference. I really can't. She dressed like Mariah for Halloween. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:52 To a T. She did so good. I saw this and I didn't even realize it was a Halloween costume. I was just like, oh, there's Liz. Yeah, there's Liz. Packing her Survivor garb. Phoning it in. Knowing Mariah, she's had this in her upper sleeve for a while
Starting point is 01:14:07 she's a planner Liz what do you think about this? what the heck you hoebags iconic she didn't like it tomato oh my god the sound bites are real
Starting point is 01:14:26 Has Sam tried a tomato yet? No Breaking news Not a tomato guy Not a tomato guy Alright So this is one Abby Maria
Starting point is 01:14:42 Has been following The Major League Baseball Playoffs And she um, Abby Maria has been following the major league baseball playoffs. And she, she had something to say about, uh, the outcome of the world series. Okay. The Dodgers,
Starting point is 01:14:57 uh, just defeated the New York Yankees in the world series. Uh, and, uh, she said, uh, after watching the Dodgers win last night and seeing how the city was so
Starting point is 01:15:08 extremely happy, it just dawned on me that I played survivor with legendary Jeff Kent. I was telling Dodgers fans last night and how I had the pleasure of actually wearing Jeff Kent's World Series ring for a few seconds at our finale for the Philippine season. Jeff Kent is actually super humble and totally down to earth. A true player. Hashtag survivor.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Hashtag Dodgers. That is cool. That is cool. I totally would. If I were Abby Maria, I totally would have forgot as well. But Jeff Kent is no joke. He's kind of the real deal.
Starting point is 01:15:41 I think he might be the only. He's going to be a Hall of Fame baseball player. And listen, I just saw a TikTok about this the other day. I kid you not. Because I'm not a big baseball fan, but I think he is going to be the only Hall of Famer where his percentage of hits were negative and he ended up getting a bunch of home runs.
Starting point is 01:16:01 A bunch of his hits were negative? What do you mean? I'm not doing justice i would anyways all the fans all the survivor fans go on tiktok and watch the video for yourself but basically jeff kent is such a good baseball player that he will be making the hall of fame even though one of his statistics and his career yeah does not align with a hall of fame player yeah uh jeff kent's world series ring. I will say, uh,
Starting point is 01:16:27 do you know what, what, what team he won a world series ring? Absolutely not. It wasn't the Dodgers. It was not the Dodgers. Uh, Jeff Kent was traded to the Mets on August 27th,
Starting point is 01:16:39 1992 for David Cohn. And then the, the Toronto blue Jays won the world series without him, but he got the ring. He got the world series ring. Cause he was on the team. That's good to hear. I mean,
Starting point is 01:16:54 Rob, how do you feel about that? I know that's, it doesn't bother me that he won, you know, he, he was a great player. He was not a all time player for the Mets.
Starting point is 01:17:05 His best baseball came after he was on the Mets. It's a tough place, a place to play in New York. Like he's more of a he's not a big city guy. Jeff Kent. He didn't love the media. What if we could get Jeff Jeff Kent out on Survivor like tonight? You know, I don on Survivor tonight? What are we going to do?
Starting point is 01:17:27 If we could just get him out of the country until maybe Wednesday. So famously he was voting. I don't know if Jordan Kalish is ready for this week in Survivor history but it was what 2012? So
Starting point is 01:17:43 what 12 years ago this week, Jeff Kent, uh, got, got voted out and then, uh, was upset with, uh, Obama potentially taking taxes out of the million dollars he didn't win. Yeah. I just, if we could just get them out just to like Fiji or to the trader's castle, just tonight. What state does he live in? I don't care. I just need him far away from the ballot. You know?
Starting point is 01:18:08 For no reason in particular, just sit this one out. How do we suppress his vote? Yeah. That's what I would like to do. Jelinski, when is Jeff Kent eligible for the Hall of Fame? Has he been retired for five years? I mean, he was on Survivor 12 years ago, so I think he's got to...
Starting point is 01:18:25 He's got to have been at least several years. Yeah, so I don't think he's going to make the Hall of Fame. He retired in 2008. If he was going to make it, I think it would have happened already. Listen, I believe everything I see on TikTok, so... So it might happen still. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:41 Maybe the Survivor Hall of Fame. Yeah, maybe. I mean, he did better than me, so shoot. Okay. still i don't know maybe the veteran maybe the survivor hall of fame yeah uh yeah maybe okay i mean he did better than me so shoot okay i'm surprised that jeff can't you know i'm not that surprised that he let abby maria wear his world series ring he didn't really you know uh giving dei you know like it's just uh he didn't really win the ring. He just kind of was, you know. Yeah. Nevermind. Nevermind. None of my business.
Starting point is 01:19:08 All right. A very happy birthday to the host of a survivor, Jeff Probst. Happy birthday to, it's as Ben Katman said, Scorpio Energy for Spicy Jeff. It pains me that I was not born just two days later because I would be the only contestant ever to share a birthday with Jeff Probst. Is that true? No, that's crazy. After all these years, I think he's doing it on purpose.
Starting point is 01:19:42 I don't think you'd get on the show if you have the same birthday. years, I think he's doing it on purpose. I don't think you get on the show if you have the same birthday. Should we read some of the cast away birthday messages to Jeff Probst from Instagram? Yeah. Okay. Gavin Whitson says, I would say my favorite
Starting point is 01:19:56 is when he announced the winner of season 38. A great moment for me that I will never forget. Okay. Heidi says, happy birthday, Jeff Probst legend. Troy Zan with a long message. Happy B-Day, Jeff Probst old man. Oh, by far.
Starting point is 01:20:12 My favorite... Did they ask? Oh, share your favorite moment. Okay. My favorite moment has to be after filming the final Tribal Council on Game Changers. Jeff pulled me aside and said, Troy Zan, wow. I've done 34 Tribal Councils pulled me aside and said, Troy's hand. Wow. I've done 34 tribal councils until now. And man,
Starting point is 01:20:27 oh man, I have to tell you that might've been the absolute best final speech I've ever heard. Really? It was truly heartfelt. Now, how do we know if these people are actually telling the truth? Well,
Starting point is 01:20:37 we know Troy's end is not Julie Berry, heart emoji. Kobe, happy birthday. Rainbow Queen, Mariah. Happy snuff the candles on your cake day, Jeff. See, some of these people, I wouldn't even talk to Jeff. Davey pours a beer on his own head.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Q, happy birthday, Jeff Probst. Laura Moret. Says, HPD. Yeah, she don't need to vote either. Happy birthday Jeff Probst Laura Moret Says HBD Yeah she don't need to vote either That means happy birthday Oh I was thinking of something else
Starting point is 01:21:17 What do you think of me? What do you think? Nah I'm just playing Charlie Davis Says HBD King. Mm-hmm. Wow. Sierra Wright, happy birthday, jefe.

Starting point is 01:24:41 My guy's a unicorn. Okay. We don't have to know. Chappelle, we might have to recap Sifu games coming up in a couple of days. Don't think I won't. Jalinski, you going to come? We can recap Sifu. You going to be there? Don't put my pickle on blast.
Starting point is 01:24:53 Yeah, he's coming, baby. Right out that pickle. Bring the pickle. You really just put our pickle on blast, Jeff. Hey, just trying to give something back to the couples, okay? Right. A regular unicorn. He's probably a swinger, too.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Shout out to Kenny. My good news. Sam's a pineapple guy. Sifu's not a pineapple guy, right? He might be. You don't know. Hey, I just need some couples. We're having a competition looking
Starting point is 01:25:21 for couples to compete in a very special... I'm giving something back to the couples. I'm bringing my cameras. There's $500 involved. Who's interested? He leaked my DMs apparently. I took that unicorn out of my bio right when it's time for me to apply for RHAP. I said, let me go ahead and take this down. So Rob don't think I'm a weirdo. Don't need people knowing.
Starting point is 01:25:49 Oh my God. The free plan is blowing up, Rob. I don't know what to tell you. Okay. This is an interesting one. This is also from Instagram. Okay. Jelinski, your friend and mine, Quintavious had a post recently.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Now this year, Rob, I find this so unbelievable. Yeah. Okay. So Q says, first time alert. I tried wine for the first time tonight. Those that know me know I never drank, so this is new, and let me say this. Shout out to all you wine-drinking MFers.
Starting point is 01:26:31 This crap is rough, tough, and I don't know whatever else to say. Why are my insides hot all the way down to my stomach? The taste made me frown like no other. Chardonnay was the first choice, and that's where I'll stop. I tried it and obviously don't like it. The room is moving slow now.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Big mistake. You shouldn't have done that. And look at the first comment. 20-year-old Sammy Laide is like, I'm dead, bro. Yeah, I hope Sammy has no clue what this man is talking about. Yeah. Sammy's hilarious. I see him tomorrow. We're hanging out. I love that dude. Jelinski, did you know this? Does Q not drink or he doesn't drink wine?
Starting point is 01:27:14 Yeah, he does not drink at all. That's so interesting. So he's never had a sip of soda, a sip of coffee. He's never had soda or coffee like that? No, no. I remember trying to have some conversation with him during the sweat task. He said, no, I don't do none of that. So I said, okay, no doubt.
Starting point is 01:27:30 And then we go out to eat together. He was in Vegas for a conference recently. He was a speaker. And he's a very picky eater. He's got a very great diet. I mean, that's why his body looks like that. He's a temple. His body's a temple.
Starting point is 01:27:44 That's exactly what he told me. You know what? I actually have some more survivor news for my birthday. I tweeted for all I want for my birthday is for Q Burdette to follow me on Instagram. Yes, he did. Okay. Okay. Made a mistake.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Yeah. Jelinski, you a big wine drinker? No. And they're a little bit scary. Jel's get you a big wine drinker you know so Jelinski didn't drink a lot of alcohol even after he turned 21 okay I'm not a big uh you know I'm not a big uh wine alcohol guy but I've recently dipped my toes in the alcohol world. I found some drinks. I don't like espresso martinis. I think they're not awful nasty. Um, but you know, I'll drink a glass of wine every now and then anything LeBron does I follow.
Starting point is 01:28:37 So red wine. Okay. Okay. Not an espresso martini guy. Absolutely not. It's like the pickleball thing. You're just a little too young for it. But once you get to a certain age, right when you're about Sue's age, the espresso martini is going to start hitting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Her fake age, not her real age. All right. I'll have to figure it out for sure. And then one more piece of news from the social media. Okay. And it looks like, okay, the sepia is returning to CBS, baby. Don't play with me.
Starting point is 01:29:09 Do not play with me. What is she doing? Vesepia is returning to TV February 13th to be in the audience for The Price is Right. That's incredible. That's incredible. Wow. Show will air February 13th, 2025.
Starting point is 01:29:25 Yeah. Wow. I'm shocked. I love Vesepia. wow February 13th 2025 yeah wow I'm shocked I love I love Vesepia if this is how she has to get back on CBS then damn it do your thing you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:29:31 because they played for too long that's a Survivor 50 pick I would love to see okay maybe maybe this is them like flagging
Starting point is 01:29:41 that they might pick her you know we've seen CBS in the past use the Price is Right Rob to talk about their all-stars. Was it Big Brother we've seen? Maybe Survivor all-stars have gone on CBS other shows like The Price is Right, too?
Starting point is 01:29:52 Yeah. My mom's on The Price is Right. Whoa. Did she win? Did she get called down? She made it to the final showcase. Or no, just before. She spun the wheel. And I've got footage of this. Maybe I'll post it on my Twitter. Nice. Let's say there's some rumors Maybe I'll post it on my Twitter. There's some rumors that Bob Barker is actually
Starting point is 01:30:09 my father. Not to put my mom's pickle on blast, but Jelinski is a legend. Okay. JaPel, this is how Angela got on Big Brother, I think. Oh,
Starting point is 01:30:26 with Bob Barker? No, no. First you hit Price is Right. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't know where you were going with that. I was like, first you hit. I was like, yeah. And then you quit.
Starting point is 01:30:39 But no, I got you. I got you. She went on Price is Right and then 17 other shows. And then she ended up on Big Brother. So, yeah, maybe Vesepia will will be back on uh survivor i'd love to see it okay all right chappelle anything else on your mind about survivor no we covered everything i think uh i'm very interested to see what happens next obviously uh we got a lot of players left in the game that i'm really invested in uh we might actually get a merge that would be cool uh we have the auction coming up yeah but are they gonna merge for it right or are they gonna keep playing my face you know that's what i would like to see also they've uh they they they they saw the auction happen last time right they saw the 40 the 45 auction um so yeah i mean i want
Starting point is 01:31:20 to see how that plays out now that they have the new auction rules i don't know rob uh the auction rules that we used to have, they kind of got kind of stale. We started playing for the advantage. Everybody wants to hold their money. But these new rules are like, no, you don't want to be the last person with any money. No.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Because that could be a problem for you, as we saw that it was for Bruce. And so hopefully we get something a little spicier than that this time. Yeah. Jelinski, what would cause you to go all in at the auction? Oh, that's a great question uh maybe a venti iced white chocolate mocha I'm a very simple man I've already had two today yeah uh a venti iced white chocolate mocha with no whip with no whip yeah With no whip. Yeah. Wow. That's my drink
Starting point is 01:32:08 right there. Venti iced white chocolate mocha. Have you guys ever had one? I've had the white chocolate mocha before, but I don't like iced drinks. I drink coffee hot.
Starting point is 01:32:21 You drink two Venti's? Every day. Here's a fun fact. So since I I'm not coughing hot. Would you drink two Vintys? Every day. Every day. Here's a fun fact. So since I got back from Survivor, y'all saw I'm a very skinny guy. Out on the island, my resting weight was like 160 pounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:40 I weigh 220 pounds at this moment. Well, I was going to say, Chappelle, do you know how many calories are in a uh venti iced white chocolate mocha he's drinking 40 ounces of chocolate every day like very clear 600 calories on one in one oh my god it's got to be more maybe several how how big are you that you're getting swole on me boy boy. Man, I... Also, the brewskis don't help. Now that I've dipped my toes. Yeah, you dipped your toes in red wine.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Now, all of a sudden, the beer... You're trying to sell us a dream, Jelinski. You've been out here on the brews. That'll do it to you every time. Survivor 50, I might look like Big Tom. I don't know. At the rate we're going. You need overalls. Yeah, I mean..., I can sell that to the old school fans. Like everybody, big Tom is back. I found the fountain of youth. It's called the Starbucks
Starting point is 01:33:37 venti ice chocolate, white Mocha. Oh my God. I've heard good things about big Tom. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to start calling you big Jalinski soon. They might. My big mom. They call you big D. Yeah. The new big D. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Your new nickname might be venti iced white chocolate mocha. I can live with that. With some flavor in there i love it you might have to hit one of those strip clubs on the vegas strip to uh you know to
Starting point is 01:34:12 really utilize that new name i right next door to me where i work not to get away where i work or nothing but it's a strip club i kid you not vegas born and raised right there. Okay. Yeah. You at this point. Yeah. I smoke. I might have to hit the pole. Yeah. I love it. Who knows? Hey, anyway, I can scavenge some money. I mean, I was voted out first. How's your cameo
Starting point is 01:34:38 business doing? Okay. So, I mean, I'm glad you asked Rob because I love making cameos for my Survivor fans. However, I did up my price recently. Just, you know, I was getting a lot of work, and I felt bad not being able to finish some of them. So I raised my price to several hundred dollars,
Starting point is 01:34:59 meaning seven. $700? $700. $700. Have you sold any seven hundred dollar cameos what the hell guys no one has no one told me am i not worth that i mean i i'd do it if i had it i just ain't got it like that you know thanks obama that's what i'm thinking it is dude that's what i'm thinking i think if people's what I'm thinking. I think if people had it, they would do it. It's a tough economy.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Yeah, it's tough for you, man. You know, when people complain about the inflation and they see the Jelinski $700 cameos, they're like, see? We all got to make money somehow, y'all. Come on. What's Sam showing us here? Yeah, Jelinski $700 cameos.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Hey, all you need is one you just need one one fish to bite right that's all it takes man i need one fish to bite and then i'll be on top of the survivor leaderboard maybe try a different website maybe try something where you could put your pickle on blast that's another possibility that i that i've thought of i'll say that inflation that I've thought of. I'll say that. But, you know, I got to stay in the good graces with CBS. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:10 We'll see what happens. Maybe when I'm several years old. Okay. How has the... Okay, this is just me and you talking. You know the call. I know your phone been blowing up. People thinking you're going about 50. Has the pre-gaming started yet?
Starting point is 01:36:26 Ooh, there it is. That's deafening. Silence is deafening. People are interested in what's going on in Jelinski's life. That's what I'll say. But I mean, to answer that question, I'm just selling slot machine parts. People are like, hey, Jelinski, can I treat you to a
Starting point is 01:36:41 venti white chocolate iced mocha? A lime. You know he easy. Yeah, it didn't take nothing. I'm easy, man. Exactly. I wish I was out on Andy's stride because people need to keep me around, man.
Starting point is 01:36:56 I'm an easy guy to please. Yeah. All right. Not holding up with my pickle on blast. All right. So we will be back on Wednesday night for the live show. Christian Ubicki is going to join me after the episode to talk about everything that's going on at the auction. What new wrinkles they might have in store for the auction and everything else that happens this week on Survivor.
Starting point is 01:37:18 Jelinski, what's coming up for you? Not much. I've been thinking about making some TikTok. So keep an eye out for that what will you tiktok about that's a great question i kind of just make videos of whatever comes to my mind how to beat the slot machines that is something i do want to do that is something i do want to do um i can provide a little bit of advantage play who doesn't like watching a little bit of slot bonuses you know who doesn who doesn't love that? Hey, if there's anything Survivor fans love seeing, it's advantage play.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Exactly. Well said. And if you want a Survivor slot machine, hit me up in my DMs. I've got them. Right now, my list is Johnny Fairplay and then anybody else. He's number one in Longo. Rob, I feel like it would make sense for you to have a Survivor slot machine in your house. You know, I just feel like that makes sense.

Jelinski, a survivor slot machine, not a bad price. Okay. They're normally 1250. We've got them on sale right now for eight 50. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 01:38:15 The savings are out of this world. That's damn. Look, I could buy a cameo from Jelinski or I could get the survivor slot machine. I'm just saying, you know, a hundred dollars or so. I don't know. But Johnny Fairplay's already got all just saying $100 or so I don't know
Starting point is 01:38:25 But Johnny Fairplay's already got all like the pinball Machines I don't know if I feel like a slot Just a slot machine in my room might be weird Hit me up man No no everyone needs a slot machine Rob Everyone needs a slot machine Okay yeah sure Make some money at the live shows wheel it out on stage
Starting point is 01:38:41 Exactly How heavy is a slot machine, Jelinski? That one's pretty heavy. And that's an older cabinet. It depends. The older ones are like, and I'm talking ones that are this tall. Those are like 250 pounds.
