So first and foremost, ladies and gentlemen, let me welcome back. The man the myth of legend from, the floor is lava

from the circle, the alternate on Survivor 47, 48, and 49. And he who just participated in a Survivor LRG over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen,

but Jack Atkins is in the building. Hey, I hosted it, Wendell. Even better. You're missing an accolade. I saw something being posted on the Instagram with Jack, Devon, Sandra. Well, I saw a lot of people in there. Yeah, it was a star-studded cast.

I had a little bit of imposter syndrome. And that's why that got to. eliminated early. Oh, when did you, let me? Oh, wait a second. Bryce, I was the third boot. Wow. Surprise, surprise.

All by design. I wanted to be close to the baby boy. But it's going to be back. The summers always feel so slow without the baby boys, without Survivor. And I just moved to New York temporarily. but I'm excited for all of the premiere stuff. I'm going to be able to come to all the premiere.

Bryson Went presents. I don't know if there's still tickets, but get them while they're hot and see the baby boys next week and start podcasts again. I'm very excited to be here. What does move to New York mean? You know, again, super temporary. Maybe moves not the right term,

but I did like an apartment swap, so I do have like a place that I am living at, which I think is more of a move than like, Oh, I'm just staying at a hotel. What realtor company did you go through? Well, I've never gone through a realtor because I don't have a house either way. No, I did an apartment swap with a friend. He was looking to come to L.A.

I said, I'm working remote. I can use a little change of scenery, go see some New York friends, pull up to the Survivor 51 Brace and What Presents Premier. And so we made it have. What application does it? did you put it? How, where did you see this at? Just on Instagram stories. That's how the younger generation is doing things, Bryce.

We're cutting out the middleman. So wait, somebody posted and said swapsies? Yeah, exactly. Anyone want to do with swapsies? I'm interested. Did you guys like FaceTime and give a tour, an apartment? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, we sent pictures and stuff.

and he got to LA a little bit early because he had other stuff to do so he stayed up on the night before I left so I kind of gave him the lay of the land showed him the pool you know all that good stuff

oh okay come on pool yeah okay so you showed him the pool oh yeah but enough about me how are you guys doing well

let me let me go ahead and introduce the man of the hour are the boss man himself the leader are our fearless leader my best friend the third boot from Cagian

Says Young Purple. The rapping is a little janky. It's all I had, okay? It's like a bow, but their crosses on it, okay? Oh, I thought those were underwear. I was cool. They look a little big. But I'm open this for you, Bryce.

This is my card for you. And it says, PURP, congrats on another season of Survivor News and BWP with Love, When. So this is from UVU. Thank you so much. Well, it's exciting to be back.

And, of course, we can. I'm not finished. I'm not finished. Perp, I forgot to give you this. part of the gift, but there's another part of your gift waiting on your back porch for you.

At the bottom of the stairs, under the bottom step. If you would like to run quickly and get it, you may, or you can get it a little later. Go get it, Bryce. Oh, get it, Bryce. We'll time you, Bryce.

You, Jay. Ain't nothing out there. Oh. Damn, what? It's like, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I left him a little something. Oh, cool, okay.

Okay. What do we have, Bryce? Bryce, 37 seconds. Nice job. Oh. It's a trash bag? Yeah, how are you going to open it? You could have reused the trash bag.

Okay. I told you the rapping ain't the best. It's all I have. Okay. I'm so confused as to when you put this, here. Because I've been walking. It was last night?

No. Oh. Don't worry about it. I'm speedy. Because I've been walking around my house naked all day. This is some good, I don't know if I can even open the tape. All I'm saying,

that wrapping, this stuff. stuff is weird. It's like... It's like tape. Okay. Get it? I'm so confused. What you got, Bryce? I'm opening it. Okay. Oh, sticky.

Okay, first layer done. This is another layer. Okay. Shoots. Uh, oh. Oh, there looks like lamellos. Okay, y'all know I love a lo mellow. Okay, what's happening here?

Ooh. Some new purple lamellos, Wendy's. You know, I do what I can for my buddy. Let me go check outside my door. Jack, we say something wrong else. That's okay. We'll be there when I get back. Those are awesome.

I've been a Timberwolf for the longest time. So I'm excited to have Mello on the Timberwolves. I feel like I feel like this is. a team we can actually build with. He's got some season players and I'm excited. Not as excited for Bryson Wynn and

Survivor 51. But yes, thank you, Wendyzie. That's such a pleasant surprise. Well, let's also get right back to it. Let's welcome to the podcast, the first merge boot of winners at war.

Yes. They just not at your house, but you know, I always, I stay ordering stuff for the baby, so I have a little, we could have done a swapsy. That's a swapsy. I'm not swapping Wennie to you for any. You actually do a house swap. No. we're not doing that either. No. As much as I love

the House of Purp I have to be out here. I got to take care of my plants. Bryce doesn't know how to take care of plants. Not true. Okay, my plants are simply decant. But listen, we, I don't want no trouble from the Survivor Newsers this season.

Bryce Isaiah is on his best behavior. So, let's slide. So hand me that microphone, Bryce, Isaiah. I got it from here. Don't you worry. Let's talk Survivor 51, ladies and gentlemen. Shall we? Well, I mean, before we talk Survivor 51,

Zent Instagram or Twitter bio. And yeah, and then we have some other tour stops that we haven't announced yet that we're working on. So please stay tuned. But listen, the baby boys are back. We back, baby. We back. And is it now time to get into this cast, Bryce Isaiah?

Listen, go ahead, Jack, what you think? I'm super down And honestly This is the most Blind I think that I've gone into a season Especially a first impressions podcast So I'm excited to And that's just me being honest

But I'm excited to see who we got Because it's like some of these people I might not even really see yet So it makes it all that more excited Glad to you got Jack did his homework Yeah Well it's a first impressions podcast It wouldn't be a good first impression

If I've already had an impression Well, I hate the break and see you, Jack, but I think you might be in store. There are a lot of white men, so I think you're going to have the pick of the litter. Jack's going to be like, can I get three winner picks? Let's get into it. This cast looks great. It's a great-looking cast. They look fun.

They look like they are here to play some Survivor. So shall we jump right in? I do. I mean, how spicy y'all want to get real quick? Spice it up, Bryce. Well, I mean, we've been on hiatus for the summer and we're back. And you know, one thing about Survivor News is we don't ever shy away from the tough conversations. And this summer, Brooke and I were doing a summer rewatch of Amazing Race Season 29.

And throughout the season, I can't. getting comments like, love the amazing race, but would love to take, would love the baby boys take on what we think of the diversity initiative that we see in this cast. Because it, the cast looks amazing, but it does

look like they have straight away from the commitment that they gave to us. So I'm just, I'm curious to know what y'all think. It does, optically from, from this cast photo, it it doesn't look like

survivors doing their diversity initiative anymore but maybe if we get into it they might be able to say that such and such is a 17th of such and such and they might have some kind of plausible deniability but I don't know

it looks a little it doesn't look too diverse it doesn't look too diverse that's what I will say okay I mean, yeah, I mean, I'm excited for the season. The cast looks great, but it does, does it look like? I'll say I'm hoping the diverse options we do have.

I hope they get a nice highlight in the episodes, and we can still get that representation on screen. Well, seriously, we're not afraid to talk to CBS. So, you know, sometimes things are a matter, it's a matter of how you approach it. and when you approach things. So like, you know, in 2020, we went there at the right time and things changed. And in this case, we're going to look at what's going on and do some research and maybe get

with our people. And then maybe we'll talk to them. And that's how it goes. There are ways of going about things and an approach that we take or our people have taken towards CBS has been one that worked in the past. And if we feel the need to have that conversation again, we can absolutely have that conversation again. I just wanted to know your thoughts

because the posse was asking and so you know we aren't scared to share our thoughts but overall it does look like a great cast and even just looking quickly at the cast there is a bit of precipitation in the britchers

just from the quick scan so I mean on that front we're happy. We're one for two. So, you know, just say it. I mean, I definitely think we should just look at all of the people,

give our first impressions, and then maybe at the end, we should do our honorary, give our takes on the third boot, the first merge boots, and our winner pick. I do feel like

the one stipulation I've, will say we can figure out the order when we get there, but no one can have the same pick in the category. Oh. So it's like a draft is what you're saying. Interesting. That's just what my opinion is. All right.

I'm ready to take some notes. I got my notebook. I'm not going to show you guys because you're going to make fun of me, but. I feel like it's fine. I mean, I don't have any notes yet. Why will we make fun of the guy that's staying in your apartment's notebook? No, I brought this one from home. B-Y-O-N.

Okay. Let's get into it. So. I'm still getting my rhythm back a little bit. Can we get into it? Let's start with the first castaway that I, I'd like to start with is a liar or Alea Puglia? What's her name?

It's either a liar or a Leah? I believe it is, I want you to rock the, rock the boat, rock the boat. Work the middle, work the middle. Change positions on me. New position, new position, new position. Stroke it for me. Stroke it for me. Oh, my God.

What's the name of this contestant? I mean, I've already had to narrow down quite a good bit. Aaliyah, I would guess. Okay. And, okay, it could be, it's probably Aaliyah. And her last name. Listen, I'm going to be reading the names. I might be butchering the names.

And I'm just going to preemptively apologize. Puglia? Oh, okay. She's from, Gloucester City, New Jersey, or Gloucester, Gloucester City, I don't know. Gloucester, I think. Gloucester.

If it's one of those white names. You can defer. Jaddy, not know. Gloucester City, New Jersey. Now she's in Providence, Rhode Island. Ooh. She is a chef. A little tidbit.

She describes herself as a bold, independent woman, raised by bold independent women. She says she's adaptable and wants to build loyalty and lead with kindness early in the game. She's 24 years old. Alia. Okay.

I like that. I like kind and friendly. She's a chef, so I feel like she works well under pressure. And, yeah, I like Alia. Maybe she'll cook up some good cuisine out there, too. Maybe she'll be able to find some things and mix up something delicious for them.

I like her and he takes Jack. I'm just trying to get this light working again. It's the dark over here. We also, she also, she described herself as a bold, independent women, women raised by bold independent women. So I don't know. Do we see an all-woman's alliance coming from Aaliyah? Like, I don't know.

You know? I'd like that. I like the Destiny's Child reference question. Tell me what you think about me. I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings. Yeah, Alia looks strong. And she's from New Jersey, and we know a lot of strong players come out of New Jersey. So there's that, although she's living in Providence right now.

Yeah. No, I think, I mean, I recently watched the film Tony, which is about Anthony Bourdain. Oh. And how he started, you know, it's about the first summer that he was. worked in a kitchen in Provincetown, which I believe is Rhode Island. And, but I just

it kind of, it sounds like there's some similarities there and just kind of like the, like what Bryce said, working in a kitchen, there's a lot, you're working under pressure, you know what I mean? And it's also, that's sort of a team game in and of itself is in collaborating with kind of all different sorts of characters. So I would,

I would reckon Alia is, is in a pretty good spot to start. things out here. Yeah. I think so, too. Any strong female players you could think of from New Jersey, Jay? Yeah, I mean, Michelle Fitzgerald.

Comes to Bonn. Come on. Yeah, Natalie. But especially her wearing the yellow, I was like, that kind of gives Michelle a little bit. Natalie Anderson. Tony Blackos. He's not a woman.

He's not a woman. Was your favorite? favorite female player last season from New Jersey or lived to New Jersey? Who was my favorite female player last season? She was cut from a different club. Who, Chrissy?

Oh, Stephanie. Yeah. Stephanie's like, I don't mind that they dropped the death for a CD. Jack. She lived here, bro. She lived like 30 minutes from us. Okay.

All right. Well, we got Alia. Okay. The next up, we have Alexis Levine. She's 34 years old. Lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Her occupation, a criminal defense attorney. Tidbit.

She plans to hide the fact that she's an attorney and tell the cast that she's a care coordinator at a treatment center. Oh. Which is actually a job she previously held. She's a mother of one and describes herself as a social butterfly who can also be a chameleon. Okay, those are a lot of Bryce Isaiah references. I feel like the social work background, the social butterfly aspect, defense attorney, I feel like Alexis isn't going to take no ish. I feel like she's going to get right down to business. Why do you think people hide?

I see a lot of times on Survivor, like, They don't want people to know that they're a lawyer. Is it because they can litigate well? Like, do that? I think there's a lot of skills that come with a law degree or even or being an attorney. There's a lot of like you can negotiate people. You know how to like maneuver. You can go in different spaces.

Sometimes you're known to be smart, especially depending on where you went to school. There's a lot there. You've had a few winners. Yeah, that's the most, the biggest stigma that there is in survivors around. like at least occupationally is around being a lawyer like people usually it was like she said fun fact that she like plans to lie about it's like that's almost a given at this point um and i think also brice especially maybe being a criminal defense attorney could that could have a negative association um yeah but yeah i think it'll be i think it'll be interesting she got a lot of

interesting um elements working for also being i think she what a single mother too? Or is she a mother? Is she married still too? I don't know if she's single mother or not. Sorry. There's a lot of information. I feel like I saw her pop up on my TikTok too about like some like her being on this season. We like that. So my one question though is you have a law degree correct, Wendell? Yeah. You weren't a threat on winners at war. Bryce, I didn't say anything about that degree My first season, which I won. I just talked about being a builder,

a furniture builder and designer. And I think that holding that information might have helped me out a little bit. My question is, this is, I don't know, this is the open era, right? And so, like, I, why I'm even more excited about watching 51, again, because 41, I had such high hopes. And so I'm just curious to see whether or not,

I know that's what she's going in with, but I'm just curious to see the dynamic of this season and whether or not those type of, I don't want to say stereotypes, but those type of stigmas carry over into the new game. Because I think if I were out there and somebody said they were a lawyer, I would like, okay, like I would want to work with them.

Yeah. Speaking of which, so yeah, it's the open era now. Still don't really know exactly what that means, but this cast is 21, right? And it's two tribes. That's been... 21. Yes, and it's two tribes.

So that's another exciting reason why I'm really interested in getting into the open era because there are two tribes. And for the longest time, I was over to two tribes because that's all we got. And then we got the three tribes situation and they ain't really pan out to well for me. And then we just saw it constantly. And so it wasn't really a way for people to maneuver if they just were in an unlucky spot. So again, I'm excited in this new era to see the dichotomy of these tribes and whether the social construct of the old two tribes will play into this or will it just be a burst of new things. Yeah. And obviously with an odd number of cast,

I wonder what they'll do at the start to balance the number, maybe exile island, who knows. Oh. What I do know. If you pull her up again, will remind me of her name? Alexis. Elect.

Oh, is Jack taking a note? No, I see two thumbs. Well, we don't even want to get into that, because, mind you, I like Alexis, but them thumbs that aren't even parallel, they concern me, and especially with her already, coming in saying she's going to lie about being a lawyer, that concerns me.

But I like Alexis. I like everything that she brings. So I'm excited to watch her. That doesn't concern me, man. She's got a good alias. She has an actual job that she used to do. So it's like, you got all the answers for this previous job of yours. Just stay in that bag.

Although her outfit is kind of giving lawyer to that. Right. He's shoot out the courtroom in that outfit. I'd be like, why do they have the care coordinator coming through in a blazer. Excuse me. Not to say that the care coordinator. Excuse, Jack.

But, well, okay, don't, don't, you know, the way they do that out-costuming on Survivor is like very much to match the vibe of the job. A care coordinator is someone that you would think is like very calm and pleasant. Like, I don't think they would put them in a, in a business-y outfit. So that's, first of all, Jack, that's business casual. Hey, we have to- Care coordinator, aren't you, aren't you, like, it's not really, it's not necessarily, it's more you're relating to people. It's a social sort of job now, like.

So we just come in there like, yo, yo, yo, what's up? In my mind, if I'm costuming, I'd imagine, my care coordinator, probably wearing like a nice sweater, you know, maybe a sweater given a real calm, friendly vibe. If my care coordinator came through in a blazer, I'd be like, I don't want my care coordinator to give a business vibe, you know? I wanted to feel like, hey, they're coming over to my house. We're going to have a nice cup of tea. Well, why not I don't normally take food or drink other people's homes? But sometimes we have to go to court. And, you know, we got to look professional, Jack.

I didn't see you in a blaster on your season. They put him in purple pants. Also, yeah, apologies to us. I'm now in the dark. I will get this figured out by the next episode. I got in late last night. I didn't think the lightning situation. Don't be this dire.

All right. Who we got next, Wendy Z? Let's see. And next up, we have. We have Ann, B and Ann Nguyen. She's 24 years old from Fort Worth, Texas. She's a medical student. And her tidbit, one of the youngest castaways.

she's entering with a YOLO mentality she says she can be a little weird, hates losing, and wants to play an authentic but cutthroat game. Oh. I'm scared for her.

I'm scared for her. From that tidbit, I'm a little scared. That's all I'm saying. I think we might have the potential of a dark horse. Oh. Okay. Yolo?

okay. She's saying she's not scared to be in cutthroat. I'm not sure her size but she looks like she could be, but like her and I look like we have a similar frame. So I'm assuming she's petite, slim waist. And so I'm thinking people might not think of her as a physical threat. So I'm thinking with her saying

like anybody that say, Yolo, I'm scared of them. I think we might have the potential of a dark course here. Right. But if if you're saying that you're a little weird. I love that. Okay, but, you know, I don't know how that rubs everyone on first impressions.

And then you say that you hate losing, which... Competitive. That's competitive, but you got to know how to respond to a loss. Like, if you hate losing and you, you know, you flips out a little bit. Yeah, and then it's like, whoa, you know, I don't...

What in that tidbit said that? I hate losing and I flip out when I lose. It didn't say that, but I just don't know how she's going to respond to a loss. And I hope she doesn't flip out for her sake. I'm just saying I'm scared if you're talking about yolo. I'm a little weird. The yolo kind of threw me too. I'm going in.

Guns blaze it. Like, yo, I'm just saying, I'm scared for her. I hope she does really well. She's a med student. Obviously, obviously she's very smart. But I hope that I, I hope her weirdness doesn't run people the wrong way. And I hope that her response is to losing because she hates losing.

Yeah, I kind of agree. I think she'll be really fun. I mean, she looks super fun. And like you said, like a little bit weird, but also going to play with like a yolo mentality. I mean, it sounds like she's going to play hard and be outspoken. And even the cardigan is like such a fun piece, not to get into is a look territory, but that's kind of like, if you're rocking that cardigan with stars all over, it's like, okay, I'm not afraid to stand out and be the star.

But within that same vein, I think the things that she said also worried me a little bit. I'm also surprised someone younger than I throwing out the term Yolo in the big 1026. That to me is a little bit like confusing. That's more millennial. Jack, what and what place did you first meet Wendell at? At, um, hearts of reality. No, that you really, like, got to know, like, your first, like, interaction with Wendell. What, what room were you at in?

The bathroom? Okay. So you met Wendell in a bathroom and he was, you met Wendell in a bathroom and he was, taking a wet dump. That's not weird. And y'all are still cool, right? Well, to be fair, I had first talked, well, okay, I had first been about hearts of reality

and we talked because we both growing in South Africa. And then we did meet before that situation. We met stateside at the airport, I think when we went to the, we were both kind of going to get water and go to the bathroom. And we chatted. So by the time that whole, your guy's a situation unfolded.

I felt like we were old friends. Bryce, you were in the stall right next to me and you're a lot more weird than I am. So can we start there? I'm as normal as it gets. And you on the other hand, you're an answer. That's not true.

Everyone's a little weird and I love when people embrace their weirdness. I think that it brings people together and it's their superpower. So I love this queen. I think she has the potential to be a dark horse. I think with weirdness though, it's one of those things where,

because I think I'm a little weird, but, you know, not so quick with that. Like some people are going to really gravitate to that authentic, authentic weirdness. And then some people,

if you don't know how to, you know, control it and present a certain way around certain people, if you're just being weird kind of indiscriminately, some people are going to be like, oh, that's weird.

You know what I mean? And that if, so if you throw a few, even if you get a few, few people in your corner, if you throw a few people off out there, it can work against you. You sparking up a conversation with a man coming out of a bathroom that just had a loose stool. That's not how it went at all. The way that you're describing it is the weirdest thing that's happened on this call.

You're talking about yourself now. You were over there shooting the whole thing. Awesome. We're traveling like 24 hours all as a group. What am I? I saw someone just came out of the bathroom. I can't talk to him. He went to the rest of the rest of it.

Jack, you were in the bathroom. It was only two stalls. We were sitting there. I didn't. That's the situation you're talking about it was you two. A huge line form involved with you guys were there to do it and giggling. And you guys walked out and we didn't, I didn't spark up a conversation.

we just kind of had a line because you saw there was like seven more I think it's the same seven white guys that got cast on 51 I think they were the ones in line Jack tried to make an alliance with us as we were leaving our respective stalls like hey guys

let me wash my ears the funny thing about that was we were in the South Africa airport when DC and I got off that plane and our stomachs was rumba dump bump bop bot dot But, and we're running to the bathroom trying to get there first. And the stalls are right next to each other.

And we were laughing because I'm a lady, okay? I did not want for him to hear that. And so. That's what I was hearing, Bryce? And I think Woodrow let the first go. And then. We're losing all of our listeners now. Okay.

All right. Let's go to the next person. My word. Okay. Now we have Anna Sannie, 34, from Toronto, Canada. Oh. Acreation, voice actress. You may have actually heard her before.

She's voiced characters in My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake Project. Oh. And has also appeared on the boys. She wants to use her cute, innocent, parents to hide the fact that she's willing to play devious. I like it. I feel like I'm also wondering, is she going to be our, is she going to be our 10 of the season? Is she going to be our narrator? Ooh.

Good call. So I'm excited. I definitely feel like she's playing into that look in her like dress and tights and sneakers. And so I feel like she, I, like, I, like, I, like, like her. They dress her, Rachel. My little pony had me. Curious to see the rest of the people

to kind of maybe see how she'll fit in, but I have very high hopes. I wonder if she'll change voices depending on who she's talking to. I wonder if she's got a little code switching in her. That's what I'm saying. She won't have to do much

to see. Okay. She wants to use her cute, innocent appearance to hide the fact that she's willing to play devious. 34 years old, that's a good age for the game. Yeah. All right. And she's from Canada, you know.

Some players come out of the Great White North, okay? So she's going to feel right at all. Is this going to be a theme long season? No, no, no, no. I'm not cutting up this season, so I'm just... But no, I like her. Anna, yeah. Okay, Anna.

Well, who do we have next? This is Angelica Jelly, Low Black. She's 29 from Bloomington, Indiana. What are you talking about? What's our last name? Low Black. Okay

Is she Calender Diversity on 51? No, I'm just saying it is What's the season given? What's her last name? That's what I'm saying. Low black. We need high black, okay?

We need Mo Black, okay? Okay, jelly, can you handle this? Wendell, can you handle this? Bryce. Can you handle this? I don't think take your hands of this Woo!

Bally move on my hips I don't think you ready for this jelly I don't think you ready for this jelly I don't think you ready for this because my body too boodilicious for you Move your body up and down When the booty touch the ground I don't want but wonder why

My vibe's too violacious for you I shake my jelly in every chance When I whip to my hips I whip into a chance Good one's your head to do Jack Artist's song. I got no idea. It's one of your favorite go-tobs.

They're a group. O Destiny's Child. What's the song? Jelly. My body's too boonilicious for you, babe. Bootylicious? Oh, really? Yes.

Give that a list. Give that a listen. Okay, jelly, low black, 29 from Bloomington, Indiana. She's a sociology professor. A professor. Oh. Yes, this lady is smart.

You mean a aura. A sociology professor playing the ultimate social experiment. She admits she's not outdoorsy, but describes herself as curious, talkative, spontaneous, and fun. She sees Survivor, as an opportunity to confront her weaknesses and grow. Come on, come on, sit.

Wait, time out. What is sociology, is that when you study the rocks? Back this whole podcast. Oh, wait, no, wait. Is that when you like study the-geologist? No, that's geology. Sociology is like the study of people. Yeah.

Oh, okay, okay. Okay. Okay. So the, like, the, is she going to, is she going to lie about that? Do we know? Do you think, I don't know. I don't know. But why, she can just say she's a professor. What do you, what do you teach? Geology. Well, I can.

Man, there's, there's some rocks over there. Well, I like jelly. I think a sociology major being willing to confront your professor. Professor. Professor. Shit, I'm a being able to confront your own self. I think that that for me

says a lot of self-awareness. And so I like Jelly and this is a strong pose, nice outfit, nice braids, nice nickname. Yeah, I expect a strong performance from Jelly. Like she says

she's not outdoorsy, but she's curious, talkative, spontaneous and fun. This is a social game. I'm not outdoorsy and I went out there like, hey, with those kinds of attributes as well. So I'm like, she can get out there, mix and mingle with the people, talk to everybody and figure this game out. You don't have to be the most outdoorsy to win Survivor. And she says Survivor's an opportunity to confront her weaknesses and grow. Maybe, I mean, we know that the lack of outdoorsiness, but I don't know what other weaknesses she has, but we're rooting for you, Jellie.

Yes. All right. This gentleman, Bryce, take a deep breath, okay? Deep breath, okay. I'm going to take a deep breath in this throat. twice enough. This is the one and only Brady Booker. He's 27.

He is a professional wrestler. Kid bit. He's a big outdoorsman who grew up hunting, fishing, and hiking. He wants everyone to assume he's the big, dumb jock. But there's a catch. This man has not one, not two, but three college degrees. Wow. Oh, baby,

put me in the figure four now. Okay. Leave Brady alone. He's not going to put you in any position, Bryce. He's out there to win Survivor. So he was a former professional wrestler. I took a glance at the social media profile. The forecast is calling for rain and the britches.

We like boys. Brody, okay. Brady. Oh, you like to hunt, you said. Okay. Well, there is this rare, rare. And where is he from? He's from Tennessee.

I don't know. It doesn't say. I think Tennessee. Well, it's so interesting. Did you guys hear the news recently about the hunting laws in Tennessee? Go ahead, Bryce. What are the hunting laws in Tennessee? I'm saying they saying now it is open season to hunt Bochie Cat.

It's a rare delicacy. And so I'm just saying, what? Look, Google in Tennessee. I've seen enough. I mean, listen, the pants tell me enough. The stance tells me enough. You smart. You like wrestling.

You can hunt. You can fish. You can cuddle. You can hug. You can. Babeay. Brody. He didn't say anything about cuddling or hug you.

That's what you just read his tidbits. No. No. Bryce. And if you want to get into it, Bryce, tell me about this outfit on Brody. Brady. Brady. Brady.

I like it. It's, first of all. I like it because they're like sweatpants, but they lose. Why they lose, Brady? Bryce. He looks strong. That's a winner pose. That's Jeremy Collins photo that he won.

Tony Vlocos, when he won, those are strong winter poses. That's my pose. Wendell did it too. What about Jack? I like it. Jack, he needed behind your list, Jack.

Yeah, I remember seeing him briefly in the trailer and he looked like he was really high energy and fun, so I'm excited to watch him. I do think my initial concern is he's a big dude.

He's a wrestler. He looks pretty tall. And it seems like he has a pretty big personality. And with all those being said, I'm confused. Then this outfit is like patterns on patterns on patterns. It's very like, it's got a lot of pop.

It's kind of like a look at me type outfit. And I feel like Brady is the type of person naturally that people do look at. And so in the game of Survivor, you wouldn't necessarily want to wear something that's going to draw more attention to you. And so for that reason, I feel like Brady's going to play very fast. and play hard. And maybe, and I think almost to his own detriment a little bit.

So that's why I'm a little bit. I'm really excited to watch him, but I'm a little bit worried game-wise. But obviously he's going to be an asset and challenges. So I don't see him necessarily being an early boot, but I don't know if he'd even necessarily be a winner. I wonder if Brody ever did the pole driver. That's not even a move, Bryce.

Yes, it is. Not a move. It's the classic up. upside down drop. Okay. Pile driver? Called Bryce? Huh?

What is it called? Exactly. Okay. Suplex. Okay. What about you, Wendell? Have I ever done a pile driver? No, no.

What do you think of Brady? I think Brady's, if I'm not mistaken, I feel like Brady is, and I feel like Brady is friends with Jonathan. I think I've seen on some social media where the two of them were actually wrestling against other people. It's like, you don't want to go up against that combo. Jonathan is a solid survivor player.

He makes it far in the game. If he coached Brady up, then Brady will be a force to reckon with. Bryce, anything? Bryce? Huh? Do you still love Brady? We'll have to see.

Okay. The verdict is out. Next, we have Carter Crowe, 24 from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Occupation, livestock farmer and entrepreneur. Tidbit. Loves working with his hands and getting dirty, which could certainly come in handy at camp outside of farming. He's also passionate about photography and videography.

I'm getting JT vibes. Yeah. Livestock, cattle, looks like a simple man, but looks like not, like, but you know what I mean? I know. I know what you mean. I mean like just he looks like a good, he looks like low profile, hard worker. smart, loyal. Like, I feel like he's somebody to watch.

Yeah. He looks really friendly and kind of like he said, like, I think he'd be out there with him. You'd be like, all right, he's just an honest and steady presence. Like, I don't have to worry about him. He's going to do good around camp. Yeah, so I feel like he can do all right. Two for two for Jack.

What's up? Nothing. No, no, that's not. not. Okay. Yeah, JT vibes. And if you're playing like that. Kind of giving me like a Gavin Whitson a little bit.

Oh. Another one of your favorites. You will too. You don't know it at all. They're saying that there's a big reemergence of this, um, Edge of Extinction Survivor season, what? 30, what?

38. 38. The Aubrey's, just won 50. Devons is on Big Brother cooking. Now we got Gavin back. Underwood is on

cooking. We just need Gavin back. And Victoria. And Lauren. Oh my God. Victoria would be great for the challenge. See? Okay.

Who we got next? Next, we have Christian Chavez 26 from Salt Lake City, Utah. Head of HR. Oh. Describes himself as bubbly and eccentric with little brother energy. And get this, he started college at 15 years old. He also says if he's not winning, he'll make sure somebody else loses.

Oh. He ain't winning. Somebody else is losing also. Okay, Christian. There goes your sweater, Jack. It's a good sweater. I like Christian. I like his energy.

Yeah. I'm excited. I get nervous about the bubbly energy because that's kind of like the things that I was saying. And it looks like Christian is likable. Looks like he's loyal. Looks like, you know, it looks like he'll get along with people. And that makes me nervous for him in the sense that

people use anything, especially in the early, start of the season, they love to label people a threat. And so I get a little worried for Christian, but very high hopes. Yeah.

And I think, or go ahead, Wanda, I saw you're about a... I was just going to say, the man's clearly brilliant. He started college at 15th. Okay? Little Brother Energy sounds like he's good at

getting close with you. But this whole whole, if I ain't winning, I'm about to sabotage is scary. Like, that's some scary energy right there. I don't know, you know, if his team's losing, what's he about to do? What's he about to do? And how will that rub off on other people? I don't know.

I kind of interpreted that. That might be the right. I kind of interpreted if he gets voted out and he's on the jury, he's going to be the type to make sure that the person he doesn't want to win does not win. But I think you're also right. And I think maybe it goes both at the same time, possibly. How old is he again? 26.

Okay. Because I was going to say, like with the little brother energy, you know, as also a 26-year-old now, Christian and I are men of a certain age now where if you're around a Carter and a Brady, they're like younger than we are. So you can't go and be the little brother necessarily. But obviously there will be some other older possibly man that that could work with. But it's like, okay, if you're like 21 trying to be the little brother, that works. But it's like if you're a full grown man trying to be the little brother, that could be a little tougher.

And also Christian, I think he just looks so intelligent. And like even the outfit is leaning into that with a bow tie and things like that. Where, you know, a lot of people get nervous when they see someone that's like obviously really smart on Survivor. And so that concerns me a little bit. But if his energy is right and he is truly like a social butterfly, I can see him doing really well too. Well, to downplay his smartness, he could say that he is a care coordinator.

Well, he's wearing a sweater. Well, that's what I'm saying. But I said he's wearing a sweater like a care coordinator right and that he looks really smart. So, you know, don't twist my words. I'm not. But I also, as someone that actually, is the little brother, right?

I interpret little brother energy to say like, you're the parents' favorite. You know how to get under people's skin, but you also are like the glue to the family, where it's like, you know, normally the younger child can maneuver in the family the way that other people can't. And so I take that as like a huge,

like for him to be able to immerse himself into the tribe. So as someone that is the youngest, smartest, cutest, and attractive, and happens to be my parents' favorite, I think that that's something that he could use to their advantage. Cutest? Yes. I know Brendan. Okay. He got you smoked.

He definitely does not. Okay. Well, I also know Lauren and Gillian, and you don't. hold a candle. I didn't say I was the cutest by any means. We know. But I'm the cutest boy. And Jack, we've seen...

Yeah, I'm the cutest. Yeah. Christine and Ben was just experiment. All right. Who we got next? Next, you have Danny Kilby. Kilby. 30 years old.

From London, Ontario, Canada. Oh. He's a game designer. He says he's working his dream job and is a self-described survivor dork who attended fan conventions. His philosophy is basically that you have to stand out or you're cooked.

I'm getting a little bit of Brandon Donnellan energy here. Really? I can see that. You know who I'm... You've got to squint your eyes. Yeah, it does. got to give Brandon a little bit. I'm almost giving Nate energy. Who's Nate?

Nate from... Nate Moore? Yes. The Black Panther director? Yes. What? What? He's a game designer.

He's desperate for some diversity. If you squint hard enough, he looks like Nate. No, I didn't say he looks like him. From what he just described. as his job. He's a survivor fan. Like, Nate was very smart. Nate was a director.

Like, I feel like, I feel like he, this, I like this person. The only thing that makes me worried is like, you know, standing out. That is very important. But sometimes, you don't want to stand out true. Yeah, his, his quote is,

if you don't stand out, you're cooked. When, if you ask, me the opposite yeah you want to just you know blend in dip and dodge maneuver stay low and then strike yeah i've got i'm a little i'm got some familiarity with uh dan i think he might be going by kilby kilby's last name but he played um sequester live back in the day and he was a very like tactical but like kind of like played aggressively like like you said he kind of stood out and he was a little bit like neurotic um and i could see him maybe even sort of in the realm of like a jacob durwin to to hark back to wendell's season where he's going to be

worried that like if he's worried that he doesn't stand out he's going to like yeah by sort of trying too hard to stand out you're kind of putting yourselves in spots that might not be the best for your game and he's got i know he's going to play hard so it's either going to be like it's one of those things that I can sort of see it going to like an Andy Rueira as well where maybe it's the Andy Rueira that never happened and he goes home like episode one because he was going too hard or maybe he finds his footing and then his strategy like is able to grab hold and then he does really well so but either way I'm excited to see what happens because he's yeah standing out whether it's for good or for bad is he going to make for interesting television I'm with you I think he's

going to have a tough time in the beginning getting his footing. I think he has a game plan going in. And I think it's always good to have a game plan going in, but sometimes you just can't predict. And so you've got to be adaptable. And so I think that once he gets his feet leveled, I think he'll be a force to be reckoned with. Oh.

Don't jump right to. Okay. You know what? We're going to just go ahead and jump right to. Now, Jack, this might not be your favorite, but I know that this is about to be a Bryce Isaiah favorite. Wait, what? We have... What?

What? I didn't even catch that. We have the one and only Devin Way. He's 33. Originally from Lufkin, Texas. He's an actor. Another person, viewers may already recognize. Come on, Gray's Anatomy.

May I Would you like to read his No go ahead Sorry sorry sorry Devin has appeared on Gray's Anatomy Queer as Folk Station 19 Based on a true story

And the comeback He plans to hide that he's an actor He admits he's not outdoorsy Has never really built anything So he's banking on being Charming and Charismatic Take it away Bryce Are you currently

Have you soiled yourself Bryce? The britches are Soaked We like Devin I like Devin style I like first of all he from He gives me Caleb

Charismatic attractive tall fashionable can act And I think he has said on his interviews that like He is the parents

of Joe Hunter and Rick Devins. The child. The child of them. So I like that. I mean, I like Devin a lot. I like his style. I like his smile.

I like his charisma. I like his IDMB page. I like his credits. So I'm excited to see what Mr. Devin's gives. How do you know all this about him already? He's done his research. And then, I'm a little offended that you said I would, like, you know, for all the jokes, some of my favorite players are. Your best friend?

Yes, some of my best friends are my favorite players. And I was, Devin is another one I've got some familiarity with. I think we had DM'd previously. And I also have interviewed him for a show or two. And I thought he was really fun and charismatic and in a cool guy. So I was really excited when I saw the cast to see that Devin had made the cut. And he's definitely one of my early favorites here. So, you know, take that back, Wendell.

I stand down. I stand corrected. I think I was more so trying to highlight how much I know Bryce will need many new pairs of britches. Fair. Yeah, my britches are dry, but respectfully. Yeah. We like Devin. Devin approved.

Okay. Oh. Next we have Eric Maxow from, he's 34 from Windsor Locks, Connecticut, mental health counselor. Looks rather familiar. He wants to use his counseling background to his advantage while playing a mostly honest game. However, he basically warns that if someone crosses him, the fangs are coming out. Oh. Well, we know Eric has a great set.

of mental health skills. He has been a mediator to Wendell and I before in Boston when when Dizzy and I were having a TIF, a TIF. And so, yeah, I love this. And I love Eric. So he's a friend of the podcast. He is a friend of the podcast. And so we are rooting for Eric.

I think that he's fun. He's charismatic. I don't think that he'll be looked at as a threat. and he knows the game and so I'm excited to see Eric little Freddie Cougar vibes with the shirt interesting pose we haven't seen that before

so overall I'm excited for Eric yeah I feel like I mean I think mental health counselor with the Brexon one stamp of approval is a big plus in the game and again it's hard not to slip into isa look vibes but the shirt to me,

it's given like a poison dart frog where it's colorful and then you see it and you're like, oh, that could hurt me. Isn't there like a snake too? That's literally like red and black spirals. And I know the contestants don't necessarily pick their specific wardrobe, so it's hard to fault Eric for that.

I'd love to see him maybe in a sweater, you know what I mean? Yeah, the shirt given me a lot of question marks, but everything else about him, I think, is green flags. I'm excited to watch them. I have high hopes for Eric. Yeah, we've seen them in real life.

We've seen them at the BWPs, and Eric's legit, and we're rooting for him. Let's go, Eric. Next up is Jenna Doar 30. She's a wedding photographer. Survivor is her lifelong dream, and she actually describes being on the show

as her destiny. She thinks people may underestimate her as the cute, artistic girl while she's been seriously preparing to play. She had me at wedding photographer. I don't know if people know, like, Jack, you just recently got a suit for your uncle's wedding. When Deasy, you went to multiple weddings this summer. You know the serious job of a wedding photographer, like getting the right photo,

maneuvering around people, carrying all the equipment. It is like you're built for tough. And so I think that she's somebody to watch. I think she has got her energy just from this photo is very bright. Almost get a little Kellyn vibe from Ghost Island. But I like her a lot. Funny enough, I actually had a friend like a month ago text me. I'm at a wedding and the photographer was on 51.

And I was like, what's her name? And they were like, Jenna. Jack is connected to everybody. Okay, because now, okay, I'm, I said, well, I'm not, I'm not claiming to know her, but I just, hey, yeah, we started this podcast off and what did Jack say, Wendell? Jack said, I didn't, I didn't do a lot of research. I mean, this is my first time seeing or, to be fair, I had no idea what Jenna.

I had no idea what Jenna looked like. All I know is that a friend of mine said that the wedding photographer was on 51. I was like, I guess that's her. We started this podcast and you said, this is the furthest away. I don't judge my notebook. I got to take notes. Bitch, everybody that has come up on this screen,

you have told us a fact that we did not know about it. Well, I mean, you know, you said you know how busy wedding photographers get. I was like, someone said that they were their wedding photographer. I don't know anything else about her. Okay. I didn't know what she looked at. like, you know, all I knew is that someone had met the photographer that's on the scene.

Jack is trying to enter this season when DZ, like a casual fan, like he has not DMs, have of these people. I have it. I don't know. I don't. Go after you. My name is Jack. You might not, you might know me as baby boy. I swear.

I swear I have a DM. Other than like Devin and Daniel, who I already know. Who I already know. He knows them all. You have been DMing? My Traders cast. Oh. Premier tomorrow night.

What's it called? Traders the what? New blood. Much more diverse, if I can say. Bad. Is that on NBC Peacock? Yep. airing live on NBC Peacock on Thursday's next day on Peacock.

The NBC is looking good nowadays, Jack. They got some great other shows. like Love Island. What's the one where they're like on the bus? Destination. Destination sex? Come on. Destination of mine.

I would never do that show, Jack. I would do Destination X out. He said something different. What did he say? He said Destination S-E-X. That does not sound like a show for me. I mean. Plastic

Wendell. It's really on-aird, but Jack is Wendell in your DM? Not mine, but I'm not pack this pod up.

I'm sure Wendell's DM-150s than I have. I'm not DMing nobody. Oh, Jack, me and Woodrow just, Jack, never mind,

I'm not. I can see, I could literally see a few of them from the screen we're on right now. I literally, nobody. I literally said. My friend Jack said you shot someone's wedding that he knew. No, I'm playing. I'm playing, I'm playing.

I will say that. So wait, but time out, though. Have you messaged anybody from this season? No, but some of them have. Oh, you're saying no. No, no, I got, I got. Like the people that we know. Who do we know?

You just started this, you just started this podcast off like Jack. It's that you're the least connected and don't know anything about it. Nope, I'm not in no, I'm not in no DM. Some of them might have reached out to Wendell because it's not the same. Yeah, exactly.

And some 50 tours might have also. We know, well, never mind. That being said, we have a job to do, Bryce, we are not on schedule. This is a big cast. Okay. This is Kristen Flickinger, 49 years old from Idaho, now is in Santa Barbara, California. Crisis Management. She is the oldest member of the cast, a longtime survivor fan who considers playing the game her

calling. Her friends apparently described her as both agitating and lovely, which already sounds promising for television. Okay. I'm getting ream vibes. I hope at some point this season we get

a mental health alliance or a care coordinator alliance because there are a lot of like social worker, mental health, crisis management things that a lot in this background. So Kristen looks interesting. I could see where she says, I'm agitating, right?

I feel like Kristen don't hold back. I feel like Kristen speaks her mind. I feel like this photo says a lot, the blazer, and that bright, shiny shirt. I think Kristen has a really good shot. I think she might have to find her footing, but I feel like once she finds her footing, things will be good. Do you like this Topin jacket, Jack, for a crisis management

where it's like a blazer let you know you're serious, a fun shirt? Well, actual, I mean, sort of, yeah, but crisis management, is that in the realm, genuine question, is that in the realm of like mental health? Or is that kind of like, hey, I'm working at like a hedge fund and if there's a crisis, like financial crisis, that's real.

Oh, so that, okay. So I took it as, because I've worked in crisis management before, so I took it as like mental health. Because a lot of crisis ease that could be out. You're right. It could be like an Olivia Polk type situation. Oh. And that were making even more enapped to Survivor.

I mean, they both would. Or crisis, it could be like, hey, there was like a hurricane and now we're, but now that's in the realm of social work. obviously, but that's more like overall strategy too, where maybe you're at like some headquarters and you're like, okay, here's how we're going to respond to this crisis. It might not be boots on the ground. It might be like, this is the strategy. But I think Kristen, right, she looks really, she looks like a, like your fun aunt.

Like she looks like that that's the vibe. But the fact that she described herself as like a little bit agitating but fun love. I see her being really entertaining and so many, even like the fact that she looks at the in Santa Barbara now. That's sort of like a notoriously chill place. But it's one of those things where it's crisis management. I feel like it could be a certain type of job where I've seen like I see a lot on survivor.

There's certain occupations that people think will be like perfect for survivor. And I think that almost gives them a sense of like overconfidence as to their skill set. And obviously crisis management, you would think that maybe that skill set translates to, hey, we're getting ready for tribal. This is a crisis situation. Here's how I can get like my ducks in a row. But I'm worried that if she comes on too strong and too confident about how that skill set might translate, because ultimately I don't think it's going to as much as maybe potentially she thinks.

Then if you're coming in too overconfident about your skills going into like a tribal, that's a great way for people to be like, Kristen's doing too much. like let's maybe just cut Kristen. And I also think it's always tough to be the oldest cast member too. Whatever age that might, like, you know, if you're 30 and you're a group of 20-year-olds, like that might be, that's still, that works against you a little bit. So I think it's an uphill battle, but I think Kristen's got a good vibe that I'm hopeful she'll be able to, like Rice said, find her foot in.

She looks tough. Yeah. And self-well-women. where, right? Like, if you're saying, like, people call me agitating, like, you know that. So I like Kristen. Yeah, it gives a little Denise, too. Yeah.

I feel like we've had a couple people now that say that survivors, they're calling, or their destiny, or they were made for it. Maybe there's a destiny alliance. Oh, I like that. We're going to sing. How does it make you, how do you navigate, Wendell being the oldest podcaster with us? Do you feel like you're odd because Jack and I are so much younger,

or do you feel like you mix in well? You know, that's a great question. I'm glad you asked that, Bryce. And I think you guys really take good care of me, you know, and you allow me my time off when I need it, and you allow me to do what I need to do. And so, yeah, you guys made it very easy for a winner to come on board and join them.

And someone with extensive. TV experience and all that to come on board to join you all. So thank you guys so much. And I'm glad they gave you a chance to be on Destination Generation Act. Now,

is with you being middle-aged, have you hit your middle-aged crisis yet? Because seeing that shirt that you have on that you obviously cut yourself, like that screams.

maybe Kristen does midlife crisis crisis and she's like man you don't have to buy that sports car you don't have to you know I think we know

you don't have to move to Bali I would do that you got to talk to Kristen yes you got to get a consultation all right I'm going to DM Kristen after we get off this pot. Chris.

Less. Okay. Lewis Kelly, 28. Puerto Rico, farmer. An Irish farmer who moved to Puerto Rico to live with his wife in a school bus. Describes himself as chaotic,

mischievous, and someone who likes pushing buttons and getting involved in drama. Baby boy, keep an eye on this one. Listen, I feel like I've seen his TikToks in that school bus in Puerto Rico. Because that's one of my favorite, like, pastimes. First of all, this is, if y'all didn't watch, it's a look.

This was my quintessential is a look. Look, this baby boy, like, I've never seen a photo like this. Lives in Puerto Rico. From Ireland, probably going to have a little accent. I feel like I don't get winner per se, but I, I get the center, the nucleus of what's going on. So I really like Lewis. Yeah. I mean, back to back, we're getting Ream vibes.

But no, I think I saw it like his little intro video. And yeah, you call him Ream? Yeah. I said Ream vibes. But no, I saw his little, his little like intro. video, I think. And yeah, he's got an Irish accent. He's got all the Irish lingo, really high energy.

I love that. He moved to Puerto Rico and, you know, has a as a Puerto Rican wife. How do you note it? Didn't he move to Puerto Rico for his wife? Or did they move there from somewhere else together? But I assume if he's, because he has to be also, well, I could be wrong, right? I thought you guys said that it was for his Puerto Rican wife. But, well, I'm sorry.

No, I'm only left because I don't think to be fair. Well, actually, I guess I don't know how long he's lived there, but he's also must be a citizen because he's on survivor. And so maybe, I mean, theoretically, maybe his wife is Puerto Rican, they got married and he has citizenship through that. He got his citizenship. Got it. I said he moved to Puerto Rico to live with his wife on a bus. I didn't, I don't know. My bad.

I sort of interpreted that as his wife is already living in Puerto Rico. Yeah. And of course, he's on Survivor. You got to be a U.S. or Canadian citizens. But maybe he's been there. I don't know how long he's living. If he's been there a long enough time, he can just be a naturalized citizen.

But yeah, he just looks like he has great energy, really fun. So, again, Bryce, like, yeah, it might be tough to see him as the winner, but I could definitely see him going far. Yeah. I could just see him as a survivor legend, like a survivor personality. Yeah. You know, we always say each season has a winner, but sometimes the winner also sometimes isn't synonymous with the season.

There are other people, and I feel like Lewis potentially has the chops. I agree. I'm just chaotic, mischievous, likes pushing buttons, getting involved in drama. that those descriptors scare me a little bit. If he jumps out, if he jumps out of the bus too early and if he's trying to do all of that stuff, that scares me, okay? But there are some really good players that were into all of that and they kept it low and they won the game.

There are also our players that enter like that and people keep around because they're always a target, right? And this is the open era. So let's open this up. This could be a new strategy. And he might be able to flip it. So I have very high hopes for Lewis. Okay.

Next up we have. This is Lanier Capo Bianco, 25 years old, New Jersey roots, occupation, lingerie and adult store. owner. Tidbits. I need some new britches, sis. Okay. She comes from a family of scientists, so despite presenting as

outgoing social and goofy, she says she's extremely logical. She has a personal philosophy of saying yes to things that scare her or make her uncomfortable. That's pretty cool. I like her. She gives me Victoria Ballmade vibes. And I,

like Victoria was smart. She ain't take no games. Like she's a business owner. She comes from scientists. I love the attitude that she's giving in this. Yeah, what's her? Who? Who are we talking about?

Are you? Victoria Bombade. From. From Chris Underwood season. Bombade. What? What about? CVS?

Y'all know. Oh, what's her name? Hold on to say, open my lips real quick, okay? I'm not moisturized. I need my barmaid. What's her name? Bombonday, I think.

Ah, okay, my bad victory. No, I genuinely at first was like, I didn't know if you were talking about someone completely different. And he said Baumade was so much confident. That's why I was like, that sounds like a high fashion model. We got Victoria Balmade.

Probably Bombade. Well. Yes. Let me know. What's her name again? Lanaya. Linnea. Yes.

Linnea. I like her. Maybe we can collab on the lingerie store. 20% off. Use cold britchers. I'm just saying. They could maybe sponsor the Zaddy calendar. I'm just saying.

And listen, Linnea, the posse supports. So let us know in the comment. if you would use promo code britchers for 20% off at Linnea store. I think she might be a friend of a friend too. So I think there are a couple people on this cast that might be popping out to some of our tour stops. Is she going to be in New York? I don't think so, but I don't know. We might do something in New York with somebody.

I don't know. Oh. Listen. Lanaya. Halang Bryce. Use cold britches. Let me see what you got. I like the support.

All right. So, yeah, I like her. I think she's strong. I think, again, to me, that's the right package. Yeah. And she comes from a family of scientists. So she says that she can be very logical. So she might present as this, but she might lock in, like, yeah, I can see her.

I feel like she's got, yeah, she's smart. She looks social. And I think she's got those different. sides to her personality that I think she's self-aware enough to channel in the right moments to really advance her game. And she's an entrepreneur. Yeah. So, you know, entrepreneurs go through a lot and they deal with a lot.

They have to overcome a lot. And so good for her. And I think that can only help her out there. Next up we have Maggie Nestor, 40 years old from Charlestown, West Virginia. Maggie is a farmer, a mother and a lifelong hunter and fisher who calls herself a jack of all trades. She's athletic, has a therapy degree, and also is a teacher. So there are quite a few different skill sets here. I'm getting tsunami 3.0.

I get like, I wouldn't say older because she's Wendell's age. So, but a mother, hunter, farmer, there's a lot of people that we've already listed that are in the agriculture realm. I feel like Maggie looks strong. Maggie looks fun. I feel like I can see Maggie going to the end. Is she the first survivor player from West Virginia? I feel like there's, I remember there not being one for a long time. Really?

Shout out to West Virginia. My dad's from. She's got a lot of things to her. Jack of all trades, that's a great skill to have going into Survivor. Therapy degree, athlete, and a teacher.

So, yeah, she's got a lot. I think she's probably got a lot of, like, life experience, too, that she's going to bring to the

Red Cross Island. Yeah. She could be long for the game. All right. We like Maggie. Maggie is, Maggie is the first cast away in the history of Survivor

to be from West Virginia. Shout out to West Virginia. Jack was right. Take me home. Country roads. Yeah, that's a... West Virginia. All right.

All right. Who we got? Next we have Mike Finsky. 32, New York City, baseball exec. Oh. Says his career requires him

to make major decisions every day. He's extremely competitive and says he doesn't do anything for second place. Oh, specifically to win. And yes, we might have DM'd each other a couple times. Mike looked like he didn't come to play.

Yeah. So I, him and that other young lady that we did, that didn't like to lose, hope they're on the same tribe together. Yeah, Mike looks like a serious player. And so I get a little nervous for somebody like that because it gives either it's going to go as planned or it's not. It reminds me a lot of David Sampson from my season with the baseball energy, with the leader energy, with the like, you know, David came to play.

David came to win and it didn't necessarily work out for David. but with Mike being from New York I think there is something about people from New York they say you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere so yeah I'm very interested

no David's a great poll because David I felt like came in and you know he got elected the leader in that initial on the mats but I felt like David had this air about him of judging others performances because that's his career in baseball

it felt like he was assessing everybody's value, but it's like, hey, out on the island, everyone's equal. You can't be the one judging other people's value if you're not bringing value yourself. And so I hope that Mike, right, I hope that he can come and, but I feel like he looks like he'll hopefully be, like you said, Bryce with the New York thing.

Like I think that helps with overall social adeptness. And he gives a little bit of like a Tyler Fredrickson, where Tyler kind came from a sports background. I think if he can channel more Tyler Fredrickson than David Samson, he can do all right. For some reason, I was getting Joaquin vibes. Oh, oh. I mean, definitely a white collar vibe for sure.

What about John Crocker? Wait, who? He's the second ever player from West Virginia. What do you say, Bryce? John Crocker. Can you tell me this last name one last time? I'm sorry. He played on Winners at War.

He got into it with Natalie. John Crockett. The baseball pitcher. Yes. John Rocker? Oh. Rocker. Rocker, John Rocker.

Yeah. Not Crocker. I hope he's not given John Rocker, Bob. Let's hope. Okay. Yeah, well, yeah. Okay. Bryce, control yourself.

Are you wearing a diaper right now? Yes or no? Okay. Depends. Okay. Ori John Charles, 27, personal trainer. Former pro football player. Oh.

He knows people are going to notice that he's big and athletic. May I continue? I didn't say anything. But he thinks that that will cause people to underestimate his intelligence. He's both book smart and street smart and believes his athletic background makes him built for survivor. Bryce, take it away. I mean, I, the cast might not be.

as diverse as it once was. But in the moisture of the Britchers department is fairly diverse, in my opinion. It's hitting the quota. It's hitting some. But yeah, I like Ori, strong. We love a strong, black, smart, books and street smart. intelligent, used to play football, can run plays.

So I like it. I like the way he's dressed. I think this is like a very cool outfit. So I'm excited to see what Ori gives. Yeah. I've been, yeah, no, he looks like a triple threat. It looks charismatic and smart and obviously a physical threat. I think that can make it hard for him to ultimately win

just because he's going to stand out. But I also think it's going to be difficult. for him to go out early because I just think he's going to do a great job in every department. Fit is great too, cool pants. I've also noticed a lot of these photos, good shoe game from this cast. He looks like he's wearing a pair of Air Forces, but they got some pink and some blue on the bottom too. They're not just like the regular white forces.

So, yeah, Wendell, what do you think? I think it would be interesting to see him and Brady compete against D.T. other with each other or whatever that is, two giants. Paul Brawl this season, Open Era. Yeah, that'll be good to watch. Yeah, I'm excited. And they're both smart and they're both, you know, physically imposing people. I also am curious where we have a lot of people in their bios that are saying that they are smart.

And I'm curious to see like, because you could be. from a small town of a population of like 13. And I'm the smartest one here. You know, so that could work. So again, I'm interested to see how a level of smartness. And like Ori said, there is a difference between like street smarts and book smarts. And I'm curious to see how that all plays. out in the new era with all of these people.

So I'm excited to see ORI. What about you, Jack? No, yes, same thing I said. I think he's going to be a, he just immediately looks like a standout, like personality. Right. Amongst this cast. So, yeah, interested to see.

Yeah, so let's see who we got. Next up on here, it looks like we have this is Patty Can Day. She's 33. She is from Florida, now in Washington, D.C. She is a federal prosecutor in the military.

So that another very super strong background. She says she's used to being underestimated in the courtroom and describes herself as pretty nerdy despite being an ace in court. She wants her. alliances to feel genuine closeness with her but says she's

also prepared to go to war with anyone. I, she's saying all the right stuff. Yeah. Okay. And I love... Go ahead, sorry.

I just, I love the outfit. I generally have not, like, seen her at all before. So this is like, feels like I'm, because a lot of them I'd like seen in the commercials or whatever, haven't seen Patty. Initially, I was like, she just looks really cool. Like the, the flumming.

Joey dress, the crop like kind of blazer vest vibe. And then for you to say she's like a federal prosecutor for the military, I'm like, she's got a lot of like interesting different things going on. So yeah, all good things I feel like. And so I definitely can see her doing quite well. Absolutely. Oh, do we know if she's going to say that she's a federal prosecutor? We haven't watched the episode.

So we don't know where anybody's going to say yet. Right. No, because sometimes they say that they're not going to reveal their job. No, she didn't say that. He says she's nerdy. And if she can use her nerdy or quirkiness as a smokescreen, I think that that could be good for her and just keep this cunning, like, sharpness about her or ready to go to war with anyone about her.

Like, I think she's a good sleeper. I get Cassidy vibes from her, right? And I think the thing that stands out the most to me is her saying she's used to being underestimated in a male dominant courtroom. And so like we all know sometimes Survivor, it's not male dominated, but you know how the first couple of days are. You know, the big guys are always doing stuff. And so like I think that she's coming in with the right mindset. Patty, I'm looking out from a girl, Patty. I like her.

All right, who we got next one, DZ? Next up, we have, what's so funny? This is Rob Ann Thompson. He's 40 years old. He's from Cumberland, Rhode Island. He's an airline agent, father of three who says he's actually glad survivor didn't happen for him until age 40. He's self-described, his self-described secret weapon is his gift of gab, as good as an airline attendant.

He wants lifelong friendships, but also... An agent, not an attendant. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And also he says he's there for the chaos. So he wants lifelong friends, but he's also there for the chaos.

So... So let me just tell you all this. I did this look, I ain't really know much about Rob. All I heard was flight that, and I was like, okay, that agent. And I was like, Agents have to be good with diffusing and dealing with a lot of chaos.

Since then, me and Rob been in the DMs, and I've been looking at his social media. Rob gives me Enzo vibes. Oh. Yes. And so it adds a whole other layer to Rob that makes me, now I'm not predicting how far you're going to go

but when I tell you on Wednesday I'm tuning in for Brody Devin and who the other one? I'm tuning in for a lot Orie Orie

But Bebe The way I am going to be watching For Rob Because I feel like Rob is going to put on A show for us I would never guess that by this photo right here.

I can see it. I can see it for sure. Because he's also Rhode Island. Like, you can tell you probably has an accent. Rice, it's interesting. You only named men when you said you were, for your two days. Listen,

we've had a lot of women winners. But mind you, from this photo, Rob, I would have, uh-oh. Go ahead, Rice.

An evangelical youth pastor. Oh. But I am worried for Rob, though, right? Just again, doing a quick peruse on his Instagram. Don't get me wrong, I love Rob already. But I'm a little worried for Rob, but I am so excited to see him. Based on what you're saying. Wait, time out.

Wait, time out. You just click that pin. What did you just write down, Jack? I just put Rob in one of my categories. Dang. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy.

Why are you guys assuming it wasn't the winner category? You know what it is. We know that that's the category you put in. We'll see. I might have to switch some things around. I'm excited to watch Rob now. Yes. Very fun.

Shout out to Rob. And his kids are so cute. Amazing. Next up, we have the one and only next up is the one and only Sharonda Cox she is an OBGYN resident 34 years old

says she has spent much of her life helping other people and blending in and Survivor is something she's finally doing for herself she thinks her biggest challenge may be being too empathetic but believes her tenacity and street smarts can carry her through the game

Okay, Sharonda. First of all, Dr. Cox. Okay. First of all, OBGYN. Love that. Okay. She's out. And my job,

I might need to hear her up because I'm a little late for my pap smear. And so I might be, okay, get your preventative health. She gives me, first of all, with the last name,

Cox, she almost gives me Crystal Cox from the legendary season of Gabon, which I love. Also wearing red. Also wearing red, but also I get a little Vasepeia vibes from her. So I'm interested to see like, is this Vespeia and Crystal Cox?

Now, the only thing that makes me a little nervous is that how she describes herself, very like me, empathetic. I'm caring. I'm an empath. Like, I feel other people's emotions. And so I just already know I love Dr. Cox. But I'm just nervous because. I don't like, and actually it's like I almost don't want Dr. Cox on Survivor.

I want Charonda. Like I need for her to step up out of that. And I know she has it in her being an OB, OBGYN resident, delivering babies, dealing with all of the hospital bureaucrats. So I just know. So I have very high hopes for my girl, Sharonda. Yeah. You know what vibes I'm getting?

Desi mixed with Dreia. Oh. So are you, like, what are the quality they give her? Are you just listening? I'm just looking at her. She looks straight. She kind of almost looks like Drea a little bit. But, but like, I don't know why I'm getting Desi and Dreia vibes from her.

Okay. I like the Bicepia pull Bryce. And I think Bryce, you hit the nail on the head. I think she'll do great. She's going to be social. And like, yeah, the biggest thing that stuck out to me was I don't, I hope she's not too empathetic. I hope when the time comes that she's able to twist the knife and make some moves and be cutthroat.

And then I think she has a really great shot. Yeah. I'm excited for Dr. Cox. Now, that does conclude everyone. And so now the baby boys are here. to give our takes, we have to provide a first, a third boot.

And I don't even want to go with, well, Ashley, you know what? I will. And the group chat, Wendell proposed us to do a number of different things. A first boot,

third boot. I didn't propose any of that. And Jack being Jack going right in a group chat. I don't think we should do a first boot. We should just do a third boot because they give the same vibes. Explain to me

in that dark room what you meant by that. Well, I mean, it's sort of like the criteria one would use to guess who might be a first boot versus a third boot

is fairly similar because a lot of it can just boil down to like, which tribe goes to tribal first, you know? So to me, it's sort of like, if I, if I were to ask you, well, it's considering it's two tribes this season. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, this is no shade to any first boots, no shade to any third boots. But when I'm guessing who the, like, first, second, third boot is. That could very well be the first boot from their tribe. So I'm trying to think of what's the criteria that could get somebody out early. So to say, like, if you were to say, let's guess the merge boot and let's guess two spots after the merge boot, I'd be like that's basically the same. Yeah, except, but yeah, I don't know what that first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth boot.

I don't know what that's like. So, Bryce, can you tell us what it's like to be a third boot, please? When you are projected to win the game and you have all the attributes of a winner, but you get snite. That is what a third boot is like. So I think what Jack is saying was, had y'all even gone to tribal, I mean, it might have been first episode for you.

Was it the first? No, actually, it was the third. The second episode, that's right. No, it was the third. Had y'all gone to tribal in the first episode? It was the third. Wendell, you filmed Survivor twice. You know when you out there,

however they edit or chop it up after a tribal they say that is an episode nah uh jack your premiere was a double boot though that's neither that's semantics but and jack this isn't spotlight yeah we got it right in your defense

in this argument the episodes shouldn't matter it is it is the boot that you know you could you could say it's 10 episodes but if the third boot's the third boot it's the third boot, I was out there for 11 dates. But so in other words, what you're saying is your time on the island

was actually longer than your time on TV. You just had the first week and the second week. And in the new and open era, I'm down near the merge. Anyway, I'm

just jerking your chicken, Jack. I'm not really mad. So what's the order? How are we going to figure this out? You're the mathematician. Well, I think we should, if we can't pick the same person, if we can't pick the same person,

so only you can't pick the same person twice for the specific spot, right? Correct. Then, I mean, Bryce, I think as the third boot, you should kick off that round. And then we'll go Bryce and Wendell and me. And then as the murder, boot, Wendell, you could kick off the merge boot, and then we'll go Wendell, then me, then Bryce.

And then winner as the one who's done none of these things, I'll kick off the winner and then Bryce and then Wendell. So we all get like equal sort of opportunity with our picks. Okay. Sure. Well, I'm locked and loaded. Okay. So for my third boot, and again, this is a badge of honor.

The way that I look at it, it's not negative or anything. But I am going to pick, I could see potentially Rob being a third boot. Only because his personality is so amazing and I don't know how it will fare, but I'm going to just go with my guy, Rob. You stole it from Jack. Look how prepared me. That was it. Hey, that was even my pick.

That was even my pick. Jack was looking, Jack was stupid. Rami took my... Okay. I think that's a solid, strong, third boot. I am going to go with, and again, it's a badge of honor because, you know, the...

I'm going with... Was Brandon Donnell in the third boot? He was. He was the second boot, I think. No, he was. Yeah, you know, he was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you're a second?

Okay. Well, I upgraded him. So I'm going with Kelby, who gives me that Donlin energy. And again, it's a badge of honor. And I hope he does more than this third boot, but that's who I have as my third boot. Sure. And then you guys have people that were in my range.

But I am going to go with Kristen. I think she could do well. I think she could do well, but I also see a world where she tries to really leverage those crisis management skills and just gets in a little too deep and gets her hand in the cookie jar, and gets caught and just becomes kind of an easy out. And then Wendell, do you want to kick off the merge boot? I might as well kick off the merge boot, seeing as how, you know,

that's due is a badge of honor. And a lot of times what these tribes do, they all come to one beach and they look for the biggest, strongest, smartest, most handsome, beautiful smile player. there is. And that's kind of how they did me on winners at war. And so... So they couldn't find that person? Right. And so I stayed. He voted me off. I think they're going to aim for another very strong, handsome, tall, dark brother by the name of Ori. Sassette. Sadly, I think Ori is going to be the merge boot. I want him to go to the end.

I want him to win. But I think that that's going to be my merge brother. Oh. Okay. I didn't see that. Okay. I am going to go with someone who I think will start the game off very strong, you know, be playing it really effectively.

Granted, it's two tribes, but maybe there's a swap to three. and they're kind of running the show. And I think they're going to play with so much energy and a little bit of chaos that come to merge, when people start to compare stories, it might get them in a little bit of trouble. And they just have such a kind of a naturally big aura and stand out,

especially given their accent. I'm going to go with Lewis as the urge food. Oh, not my time. I hope he goes farther than that. Okay. Well, thinking along similar lines to both of you guys, I think I am going to go with someone that is easy on the eyes, that is charismatic, talented, and beautiful.

And I'm going to go with Devin. I could potentially see him getting to the merge, getting along with everyone, and kind of sort of similar to Caleb a little bit where like people identify him very easily as like the face of this season and I could see them wanting to get him out very at that point in time.

I would hope not. But that's what I think. Okay. And then for winner we'll go me then Bryce and Wendell. I'm pretty torn between two people. don't take my person I think I might be taking one of your guys' people

I'm going to go with jelly Oh Okay Okay I like that Jack The swag is immediately off the charts I was talking about the shoe game on this cast Shoe Game Strong

I forget Exactly all the things she said but it sounded like she had had some serious self-awareness, but also has a lot of great skills socially, intellectually. I feel like brings everything to the table. And also, like I said, seems to know her weaknesses, which I think is even more important than knowing your strengths sometimes.

So she looks like she's got a magnetic presence and I just see her doing a while. I like that pick, Jack. She wasn't going to be my pick this time. I did pick her. It's a look. But I actually, this first impressions

really made an impression on me talking it with you guys. I think I'm going to go with Pat as my winner. That was my other one. That was my other one. That federal prosecutor that like

wanting her alliance to feel genuine, her used to being underestimated. I think. And just, She looked fly. She looked cool.

Yeah, I think Patty is somebody that could take it home. That was my other top pick, Brett. That's a good pick. Thievery. Back to the drawing board we go. You should have won a season so that you could have went first in this category. That's funny what you say that. You see how Jack rigged it down?

I guess we're going to just put the only winner out here last. And that's fine. You know what? You want to make it more difficult for me and that's fine. So I'm going to pick somebody that is going to go out there and play hard, a proven leader that makes decisions every day. He's extremely competitive. I'm going with Mike Penske from New York City.

Wow. That's my winner pick. Trying to get those Yankees tickets. Oh, okay. We're going for it. No, I can see it. I can see it. I can see it too.

Yeah, I'm excited to see what Mike gives. This is an interesting pose, which also is a classic winner pose. Also, the pose that window gave on winners at war. So no foreshadowing, but. He's looking strong. New York, you know, They're the city of champions, and Mike is going to bring home another one. You heard it first.

Well, hold us accountable. You have our draft that we think for the third boot, first merge, boot and winner. Pick here from your Survivor News crew. The baby boys have emerged from our hiatus, and we are back. We'll be delivering you your real, authentic. and moist content all season long. Tune in every week to catch your baby boys with some of our friends and Wendell and I

and Jett are going to be in New York City next week. So if you haven't got your tickets already, what are you waiting for? I could do a little voice acting too. Super glad to be back with everyone. Yeah, excited for this season. And yeah, let us know. Curious in the comments,

who you guys think had the best draft? Who would you guys have picked as the winner, the third boo to the merge boo? I'm just, I always love reading through the comments and seeing what people are saying. And, you know, like I said,

going in, I hadn't done a lot of research on 51, but now that I've seen the cast, I'm excited, I'm excited to see the baby boys next week for the premiere. Also tune into the Traders New Blood. Coming out,
