The survivor 48 preseason podcast that you have been waiting for. And here we are back with the man of the hour and of the day, the birthday baby boy, Bryce Isaiah. Robert, what's happy birthday, Robert? Happy birthday to you. Oh, yes. Well, thank you. It's it's the baby boy's birthday.

And there is no better gift that I could think of than being able to podcast. And not only podcasts, it's a look. It's a look. OK, is the cherry on the top of the day. The survivor gods smiled on us today because they gave us a season that's starting right after your birthday. So we could do it's a look on a very special day as part of a very special week. It's Bryce's birthday bash. We're celebrating Bryce and the Purple Pants podcast

all week long. And this is maybe the cherry on the cake of the week. What's the candle? The thumb. The thumb. The thumb on top of the cake as we celebrate Purple Pants podcasts all week long and Bryce. And so for Bryce's birthday that you can send your presence to Bryce, but if you didn't

get a present, uh-oh, how embarrassing for you, what you could do in lieu of a gift, go to purple pants, podcast.com and make sure you subscribe before the new start of the season. Yes. Hit that subscribe button, baby. Join the Bryce birthday bash. It's been such a fun week. I've been enjoying recording these podcasts and putting them out into the universe. And I appreciate everyone for all of the birthday love. It really feels good.

I think I need to start celebrating birthday weeks more often and then move to months and then move to quarters. I think a birthday quarter. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, Bryce, here we are back again. I believe that the first time we ever did this was for survivor 38. And now here we are back for survivor 48, as we are going to get your predictions about the new survivor cast based only on their survivor cast photo. Yes. I feel like I say this every time, but it's the look is a proven science. And if this is your first, it's the look where you been at. Welcome.

You know, I happen to play, I use that term loosely. But you're not playing today. I'm not playing today, but I happened to be on the island when they were filming Survivor season 28. And I was right there in front of that camera. Yeah, 28 to 38 to 48. right there in front of that camera. And I know what it's like. Yeah, 28 to 38 to 48.

Oh, okay. Play them numbers. And I got to see Tony take his photos. I got to see Tasha. I got to see Spencer. I got to see Kaz. I took my own photo. And I really felt like you,

that energy that you've given in front of the camera is like similar to the energy that you are going to give to us this season. And so Insta Look is a proven science. I have predicted winners before, and I'm excited to be here and give it Insta Look. I feel like I've also single-handedly changed the way players pose. You changed the game.

For sure. Game changer, okay. Okay, but some of these people have not seen a lot of Survivor. Some of these folks have not seen a lot of podcasts and maybe are not even familiar with Issa Look. So let's see maybe if we have some people who maybe aren't coming in like the super fans knowing exactly the right photo to take.

But again, Robert, yeah, it's good to know the knowledge. However, the photo is going to speak for itself. If you are confident, if you are out there to play, if you are out there to be a serious gamer, it's going to read through. If you are out there and you are feeling like a fish out of water, it's going to read through in the photo and it more than's gonna read through in the photo, and it more than likely might come through in the game. So that's what Issa Look is here for.

And it's just love, and I'm excited to meet all of the 47... I can't... 48! 48! Okay. 48 cast, and yeah. All right. Issa Look.

Well, for all things Survivor 48, we have interviews with all the cast. Mike Bloom went to Fiji, got to interview everybody. Mike Bloom and I have talked about the three different tribes and previews. All those podcasts are up. We know Survivor.com. We have one more preseason podcast to go after this.

The big podcaster draft that's gonna be on Monday night. And then we get ready for Survivor coming up on Wednesday. And we'll have some announcements about some of the things we're going to be doing with the content here on RHAP, which I'm looking forward to. But let's get to it's a look. And why don't we bring up our first person here? And we have first up is Bianca. So let's talk a little bit about Bianca and Bianca. OK, so let's see.

Let me just make my screen larger and I can tell a little bit about what Bianca is. Her wonderful cast photo. And so here's Bianca and she has sort of like a ruffle. I'm not sure exactly what to call this top. Bryce, this is a blouse, a blouse. Yeah, a blouse. But you're definitely low, not polka dots, but like multicolored dots.

Yeah, maybe floral. You know, hard to tell without enhance, enhance. Yeah, it's like a floral pattern dots. Yeah, maybe floral or you know hard to tell without enhance enhance Yeah, it's like a floral pattern there. Yeah, okay. All right. Be careful with the zoom in All right, then She has a tucked in shirt into some shorts They high waisted. Yeah hand on a hip Hand on the side and that is a very classic. It's a look pose Bianca is signaling to the people out there hand on the hip means I'm here to play

I'm here to play Survivor hand down on the side is letting us know that like I work with you you work with me So it's kind of like the yin and the yang and we love that Bianca's smiling. She's kind of got that like I work with you, you work with me. So it's kind of like the yin and the yang. And we love that. Bianca's smiling. She's kind of got that like business, like old school. The ladies used to wear like a little puff with the hair down. I love it.

She's given me retro. She's given me vibes, good energy. I feel like Bianca's gonna be someone we wanna work with, we like. However, I see a thumb, Bianca. And that for me, you know, I get nervous when I see thumbs, because I feel like when you are posing, you don't really want to see your hands. I want to see the essence of a hand, but I don't want to see your hand.

And the fact that I can see Bianca's thumb makes me nervous that in the game she might reveal her card. She might slip up. She might do something, but she is giving us a very strong pose. I like the way her feet are planted. If somebody's coming at her from the left or the right, she's going to be able to maneuver. And I like Bianca's energy.

I think Bianca, if I didn't know her last name was a rose, I say she is a rose. And a rose has thorns to protect it. Everyone does. Yes. So, you know, you got to be careful. But I really like Bianca and I love her energy. And, you know, it's definitely a look. So we like Bianca. Okay.

All right. So Bianca, are you feeling like is maybe? Well, I don't, first one, you know, she definitely makes the merge, I will say that. But I'll keep Bianca in my mind. But as of now, that thumb girl, that thumb on the first, it's a. I got I got to be strict here. Yeah. OK. All right.

So Bryce will tell us a ultimate pick for it's a look. But I don't know. We'll see. Probably not going to have a thumb. All right. Let's talk about Cedric. OK, so here comes Cedric and Cedric is a doctor. He's a physician. He is from the South Carolina. Oh, here's Cedric.

Oh, OK. Come on, Dr. Cedric. Dr. Cedric. He is giving a quint. First of all, another floral shirt. Yeah, Cedric is a older man, not older, but an older player because, you know, they cast six and seven year olds now. So, you know, anybody, anybody over 14 is considered old. But Cedric has on some khaki shorts. They are above the knee. Yep. So good length. Good length. Nice floral shirt. He's got it buttoned up a little bit. He's got the noodles, good length, nice floral shirt. He's got it buttoned up a little bit. He's got the glasses on.

He's smiling. He's got hands on both of his hips. Very, that's another, that's a classic winter pose. So Cedric is signaling to us, Cedric is coming in hard. And him being a doctor, that tells me he's not here to play, right? I feel like doctors give orders, right. Doctors they do a surgery.

Doctors orders, that's what they say. Right. Okay. When the doctor is giving surgery, he's saying to the nurse, scalpel. Okay. He's not saying scalpel, handing it to someone else. So that worries me with somebody like a Cedric. He's like, may I please have the scalpel? Right. He's saving lives. And so again, with this being a younger, somewhat younger season, Cedric being a doctor, this classic pose, what I love, again, he's giving friendly. He's getting like, like very, I feel like he's with it. He got the shorts above the knee, but him giving such a strong pose, right?

That makes me nervous that if he can get through building the shelter and not giving orders, I say Cedric's in a good position. Okay. And he is, do you know what type of doctor he is? Anesthesiologist. No, he works with, is it colorectal? Is that what his... He does the colonoscopies. I believe so. I just had one not that long ago, Robert. I was, I was so excited.

Yeah. So yeah, he's doing good work. Okay. Keeping the two, keeping the tutor check. So listen, we like that. That's good to know. Yeah. I don't know. Is that saying that Cedric might be a pain in the, I don't think so. I think he's making sure that we don't have one. Okay. Okay. All right. But yeah, like Cedric, good, I mean, good energy, strong, love Dr. Cedric.

Okay. Dr. Cedric, okay. First or second with a floral pattern, all right. Well, let's go to charity. Okay. Here comes charity and charity is a flight attendant who also is a fitness coach. I don't wanna say influencer. Okay, here's charity and she's got,

can I call this a jumper? Romper. Romper, okay. Would you say that this is like a, I don't know about a mint green, pretty light green. I see a light denim, but maybe. Denim? Sam, can we enhance?

We have a spinning pinwheel situation. Okay. Yes. Okay. Is that a, okay. I think that's. Yes. Okay. Yes. and further review.

Yes, we have some denim, we have a zipper. Hair pulled back. Hair pulled back. Hand in, again, similar pose, hand in pocket, thumb very projected out there. Other hand down to the side. For me, that one arm in the pocket is giving very strong. So again, it's like Charity wants to say,

hey, I'm out here to play. I'm out here to win a million dollars. However, I read vibes, I read body languages. It's her other hand that is the more, I don't want to say passive, but that's the hand that's like, hey, you work with me, I work with you. In this photo.

That hand is giving more dominant. Right. So I feel like charity is going to want to come out here and play. But I feel like charity has a heart. I feel like charity is a lover and I feel like she is going to her emotions, her. When you go out to survivor, you feel like you want to play. You want to win a million dollars. You've seen a million seasons. But then you always never expect to make friends.

You always I'm like, do I want to stab Rob in the back? I actually like Rob. So I feel like Charity might have an issue with that. I also feel like the way she's standing, right, like it is both of her feet are facing the same direction. So that makes me nervous because if someone. Comes at charity from the front or the back, she's not gonna be prepared and she's going to be, she might be a little frazzled.

So I'm worried for Charity, but I love her tattoos. I feel like she has lived experience. I almost get like Kendra vibes from season 45 and I love Kendra. So I feel like I'm going to love Charity. I love this outfit. I love her look. I feel like she's going to be great, but I am nervous about the pose, the thumb and the way her feet are positioned.

She has a hand in the pocket, but she has all the fingers you want to see in the pocket, but only the thumb sticking out of the pocket. Yeah. And it's like there. So I just get nervous. She might not be ready for when the people lie. When they lie, you know, they lie, Charity. They be right to your face. Okay. All right.

That's Charity. Next up, we're going to go to Chrissy. Interested to hear what you have to say about Chrissy the firefighter. Oh. Okay. Here's Chrissy. Now Chrissy is on a tank top.

It's like a little knot in the front. Okay. It's a little big. So, not. Chrissy! And then. I like it. Give me a thousand of them, immediately. And then we've got and give me a thousand of them immediately Some shorts, okay little tan shorts arms folded across

winner, okay Listen Let's be clear here We in the presence of something. I don't know Okay, wait, why am I screaming? Sorry. It's just, hey, you got me. You got me screaming, Chrissy. I don't know.

It's something about Chrissy here. First of all, this is a quintessential winner pose. Jeremy Collins, Tony Wendell have all used this pose. She means business, but I like what Chrissy is doing here. It's not her hands folded. It's not straight on. She tilts. I mean, is she... Tear a squat and lean back.

Lean back, like, you know, Chrissy is leaning back. The way her feet are positioned, one is facing forward, the other one is facing to the side. Chrissy is like, if I have to fight a fire, if I have to put somebody down... The way her feet are positioned, one is facing forward, the other one is facing to the side. Chrissy is like, if I have to fight a fire, if I have to put somebody down. Does the lean concern you? No, because, sorry, don't scream.

Because it's like, when you, I don't know if you've ever argued with somebody, Robert, and it gets to the point where you put your arms here or fold in your arms. When you just have them like this, it's like, oh, okay. But when you put that, when you put the tilt on that, Oh, Chrissy is making a statement. Oh, okay. Miss Chrissy, then Chrissy got out there. And again, I said, when you get in front of this camera,

it really does matter. The fact that Chrissy took the time to say, you know what? This outfit might be a little plain. Let me take my shirt and roll it up and give it a little boom. Oh, I am getting their main character energy. I'm liking the hair. Listen, and my job, I don't want to say older woman, but again, they cast six and seven year olds.

So like Chrissy is probably older than on this tribe. She looks great. The older women arc in the new era has been amazing. And this, again, we see a little bit of Chrissy's hands, right? Like, you know, she let you know like, hey, but you don't see no thumb. You don't see a thumb.

Oh, Chrissy. It's the bang and the little layered haircut Chrissy gives me. She's a mom. And this is instinctual, Bryce, that this is not a matter of, like, she didn't like listen to a podcast, memorize what to do.

This is organic. When you got it, you got it. into a podcast, memorize what to do. This is organic. When you got it, you got it. No, I'm so serious, Robert. Listen, put Chrissy to the side, okay? Okay. Chrissy. Chrissy.

Put her onto the side. All right, first person that is going to maybe the pick. I, it's the details for me. They, they matter. The fact that she rolled her little shirt up and the fact that it eats, okay? Chrissy, I see you. It gave you a little, almost a little, uh, crop top.

I saw a little, uh, waistline. Yeah, like, okay. I see you, Chrissy. Are you crushing your bills? Navel. Waistline. Yeah. Yeah, like, okay. I see you, Chrissy. your good financial habits on points for paying your credit card bill in full and on time every month level up from bill payer to reward slayer terms and conditions apply. Bryce, we got to talk about this next person. He made a lot of waves way back when, when he said a lot of waves way back when, when he said that he got everything in life from chocolate milk. Here he is. David. Oh, David. Now, wait a minute. You said he got everything in life from chocolate milk. That's what he said. Have you ever had a caramel macchiato thing?

Okay. David. Is it a lot of protein in a caramel macchiato? It is. Okay. Two shots. Straight down. Okay, David. I mean, two shots. Straight down. Okay, David. I mean, two shots. Okay.

Gonk. Ooh. Ooh. All right, here's David. He has on a black tank top. Okay, I mean, does he have on a black tank top or does the tank top have him on it? Oh, good question.

I never thought of it that way. He has some shorts. They're a little long a little long and a belt I I'm a given you know I am very strict with my short rules however, because David's torso is Extremely long. I'm not sure why his torso is so long, but it, whew, I'm a little hypnotized. By David.

Should I be Goliath? I don't know. David, he is, I mean, this is like a Jonathan Wright. This is given a cousin from the north of Jonathan Wright. Interesting, again, David is giving us the quintessential pose, we don't see any thumbs. The only thing that scares me is that his presence, right? He just got such a big presence.

And he's so muscle-y. And it's like, literally, like, he's got like top cleavage at the top of his like, you know, like, just take it off, David. And he's smirking, right? Like, I feel like, David, that smirk for me, first of all, David loves himself. I just know it.

He does, yes. Oh, okay, that smirk says it all. But that smirk scares me because I feel like when David walks into a room, I feel like David thinks that he's like the smartest and the most good looking and probably right. But, you know, I can't do a podcast without quoting my neighbor, James Jones. James Jones was safe threat level, right? He has a huge.

Threat level just from his size alone. Right? And so when people see him, they're automatically going to think big guy, good at challenges, all of these different things. And so that could work against David or for him. Cause David could actually be bad at challenges. But then because they have that expectation

that he's a threat, I feel like David's going to definitely for sure make the merge. Yeah. But I don't know. But I feel like. There is a spot somewhere. Yeah. The twenty twenty six Zaddy calendar. OK, David, we didn't talk about Sam.

Could we get a go zoom in on the thumb here? That it's a little subtle. He does. He does have a thumb poking out here on the. The hand. So he had a chance to that, like, I think that's an easy one to fix. And he missed it. That's going to cost you, Dave. Right. That might have been a million dollar thumb, but I will give, but it's also perfectly resting on his, I don't even, what is that, a tricep, bicep? I think that's still bicep.

Oh, perfect place to put it, David. Okay, it's resting on his bicep, but it blends in. So you can't necessarily see it. Uh, it's resting on his bicep, but it blends in. So you can't necessarily see it. However, a thumb is a thumb. Well, okay. A thumb is a thumb. Thumb is a thumb. Okay, everybody got them.

But it is so camouflage that I think David might be okay with it, but it also just lets us know that smirk that David is giving us, like it's giving confidence, it's giving, I feel like what will be the downfall of David is that I think he might get into a comfortable position. And let his guard down. But I mean, David is a work of art. Love to see him, love to meet him.

Okay. Like Michelangelo once put the other. Okay. Okay. All right. Call me Basquiat. All right. Next up, let's talk about Eva. Okay.

Here comes Eva. And Eva is here comes Eva and Eva Is here? Okay. She's got a green top if I'd say a sports bra I Think like a or like a sports shirt. Is that a thing? Yeah little camisole little Like a sports shirt is that a thing? Yeah, a little camisole, a little, you know,

a little athletic leisure. Yeah, a leisure and then like some soccer shorts, gray shorts. Absolutely. She looks solid. She looks very athletic, giving us a quintessential winner pose as well. Hands on the hips. Hands on the hips. Very one knee kind of bent, the other like very strong pose.

Eva's going to be solid in this game. Yeah. And hands on her hips and she's not facing the camera directly. Yeah. So I always say with something like that, when you face the camera directly and put your hands on the hip,

it's like you're saying like, what's up, come get it. But when you slightly turn to the side a little bit, it's still giving that same demeanor, but like the camera doesn't shoot it, right? So it doesn't look as threatening. And so I feel like Eva is, she's forward thinking. She's lowering her threat level, but she looks athletic, looks like an athlete,

and she's smiling beautifully, right? And so it's like, we like Eva, this is a very strong pose. Can we zoom in on those hands because I was so magnetized by David. Okay, we don't. I see a little thumb there in the back, yeah. We see a remnants of a thumb. But not a thumb, her, and another thing I always talk about strings.

Right. David had a leather belt. OK. What is it? SMNDM. Something like that. Yeah. OK. OK. Yeah. Leather belt. Strong choice. Eva here has strings. And sometimes people always because I listen, I'll be in the comments. I'll read the comments. People always like the strings don't really make sense. Eva is

giving us a perfect example of neatly tied strings. It matters things through. Is she a super fan? No. Oh, okay. Well, she's disciplined. She's giving me like, not military background, but like, Eva is giving me, she makes her bed every day. Yeah. Well, she's very smart.

She's a PhD candidate, I believe, and is a athlete. I could see it. Eva. This is. Okay, we add Eva to my column because this is a strong, this is a very like disarming strong pose. And in the new era, like that's. Yeah, I got to I have to also adapt my is the look to the new era and remember that like the new era, things are different and, you know, but this is a very strong pose, Eva. OK. All right. Next up, we we're gonna talk about Joe Okay

Joe another firefighter Let's talk about Joe and Joe it's got like a white linen shirt Got a couple of buttons open looks like no collar also for a blue collar guy and then also has some shorts, maybe a little long. They're a little long, but I'm a give Joe some grace because

look like Joe, Joe use some lotion or some oil. Joe's Joe's skin is glistening. I see those thighs. I see that arm. You're like the Natalie Napalm. Your skin is gorgeous, darling. I forgot Natalie said that. And also shout out to Natalie and Uncle Carl on the White Lotus.

He looks like he's ready to go to the white lotus, Joe. He does. He... If he didn't have hair, he would be... Like, I would almost name him another thing. But, like, no. Joe... I didn't think that through. If he didn't have hair, he would be, like, another thing. Okay, here you go.

What are they called? The losers that didn't make it at home? Oh, the losers back home? Yeah Yeah, but no, Joe looks great. This is another strong winter pose, hand on your hips. Similarly to Eva, he's not facing the camera forward. He's turning a little to the side. So he's trying to disarm us. But I know I see a Dominic Abbate when I see one, right? Like he gives me dad vibes. First of all, he gives me like young, cool dad vibes. I also could see him like with a

hashtag in his profile that says like girl dad, right? Like I could see him with like four girls. He clearly cares about what he looks like. We appreciate it. But I see the dog in him. I got that dog in him. He got that dog. Gotta eat. Okay. And it's dinner time. He's a firefighter.

We see the tattoo on his arm. He's got a little arm candy like arm. Joe's eat arm candy little bracelet. Oh, Joe is a Joe's eating right now. I didn't even see the other tattoo. What's the bracelet say? Can we enhance any further? That might be, I know he talked a lot about his sister. So it might be, it might be about her. I love it. And it's purple and be Joanna's week or something. But yeah, also bringing out the memory of his sister. Yeah. Joe won't be a Joe might be a problem. Yeah. Because

I feel like he's like, I'm not a killer, but don't test me. Right? Like, I feel like if you test him, he's going to push back. But also his white linen shirt that if he's married, I just know his wife picked this outfit out. And I just I I don't want to put everybody to the side, but put Joe to the side, too, because mentally the third person. Yeah, I like Joe. Okay.

Little questionable on the shorts, but a very strong pose. Look at how his feet are planted in the ground. He's not going to be blindsided. He has his feet to the ears. He's a firefighter, like you said. He gets along with people, but I also feel like he's a leader, but he's not a lot. I'm since I don't, hard to say what type of leader he'll be,

because again, I get Dominic Abate from him. This is like Dominic Abate's little brother. Okay. All right. Next up, we've got Justin. Justin, of course, that he works at the family business. Luigi's Pizza, here's Justin the Pizza Man. What in the Balinski is going on?

Balinski? Yeah. This is Ben Katzman and Jalinski's cousin. Oh, Balinski, yeah, I like that. Okay, so he's got on a blue linen shirt and then long pants. We don't see a lot of men in slacks on survivor in their cast photo, but here he is. I'm gonna give you a little pushback. I want to say that those are linen pants, linen pants. Okay. Either way, I think it's rare. We see men in long pants in their survivor cast photo.

I would agree. Or they look like jeans a little bit hard to tell. Yeah. But either way, I can't remember the last man we saw who wasn't wearing shorts. Very true. Okay. Did Joe, did Joe Dell Tempo, did he? Joe Del Campo.

Do he have on shorts? Wait, that was long before we even did this podcast. I just love Joe. Yeah. Shout out to Joe. Okay. And all his dogs. Yeah.

I love up, yeah, my, just random joke, random Joe story. The other day, I didn't realize I wasn't following Joe back. I thought like, I'm like, how could I not be following Joe back? Like I like he likes something. I was like, oh, this Joe click on it. Pop pop. Pop pop. I about 32 messages for pop pop. Yeah. What was he saying? He was he was liking like when I post my mom's dogs or my mom's dog.

He was like, like, like, she's adorable. How old is she? What's her name? And I was like, so many of them. I was like, pop, pop, Joe, I promise I didn't see it. I promise. But listen, back to Balinski, I like him very chill. Very like, you know, very unassuming, right? In this, we talk about a threat level. Yeah.

Very unassuming, right? Like he looks smart, he works at the family business, but he went to Yale. He like pressed his hair back. Like, I mean, like he's like, I really- You get all this from the picture? That's, I mean, like, he's, like, I really... You get all this from the picture? That's, I mean, you know, normally, Yale people have seven white buttons on a blue shirt.

Yeah. That's the uniform. Yes. But he's very chill, right? But also, like, not a cocky chill, but, like, he's very chill, like, what's up? But, like, I know what's going on, guys. And so I like this. However, the thing that makes me nervous is this is such a chill pose.

He's got both of his thumbs out. That's a little nerve wracking for me because it's like, Justin, I feel like you could potentially win this game, but you might get caught up on a lie, an idol trying to like outsmart somebody. But Justin for sure is very chill. I love his energy. I love the pants.

He's, you know, not a threatening pose at all. I am nervous about his foot positioning. They are faced the same way. He is, like, his legs are open wide. So he would be able to protect himself if someone were to come directly at him. But if they came from the side or the back, he'd be off his balance a little bit.

And so I'm a little nervous. Like Justin is really high on my book, but if I'm rating like the Issa look, it's a very chill, very like low rated. But I do see these thumbs and two thumbs just. Two thumbs up for Luigi's pizza, but not for the picture. Yes, we got to get a stromboli. Is that what you like? Stromboli? I do. Yeah. Have you?

It's just I always thought it was like a delicacy when we used to like order pizzas on Fridays and my mom would get a stromboli, like I would like love it. But as an adult, I am like, what really is a stromboli? Is it like really just it's like a pizza turned upside down? Not if you just turn to half of a pizza. Yeah. You know, honestly, if I had to tell you like the difference between a stromboli and a calzone, like I think it's just is there

just less cheese in a stromboli? Stromboli got cheese. It's got a little bit. It doesn't have a ton of like like ricotta. Oh Wait ricotta cheese. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's like the kind like the Like the yogurt kind of ricotta I guess it's sort of similar consistency What's what are the size of a calzone? I think calzone is like like a half moon like a calzone Like a little bit more long and thin

And does it have like the circle in it you know how like this sometimes the strombolis will have I don't know okay I've never had a calzone. Okay, yeah. All right, we'll get a calzone. Okay. Okay, all right. Next up, we're going to talk about Camilla. Okay, okay, here is Camilla. And Camilla, she's got on overalls, okay?

Can I call this a jumper? Is this jumper? Camilla, she's got on overalls, okay? Can I call this a jumper? Is this jumper? So I mean, it's kinda in the rumper territory. Rumper, jumper. But yes, jumper. Okay, and then she's got like the yellow jumper and then a maroon t-shirt, hands on her hips. Hands on her hips.

She posed, we are seeing a lot, hands on her hips hands on her hips. She posed. We are seeing a lot hands on her hips, which means she like Camilla is saying she ready for war. She's out here to play tilted to the side. So not straight on. But again, here's I got to get into the details. Right. It is the unevenness of the hands on the hip. One is up, one is down. So that for me is like telling me Camilla might be a little chaotic. Camilla like might be a little like I'm not sure. But I feel like Camilla is going to

stand on business. Like she's going to be very strong and what she believed. I'm just not sure what she's standing on is what you should be standing on. Like I had to learn the hard way that like when you're on the Viber is anybody but you. And I feel like Camilla is giving me like we, she got her hair to the side. She's got a purple shirt. She's like in position, like I'm coming to play, but that lopsided in the hand does, it tells me that in your preparation of like, I'm here to play, you might fumble a little bit.

You might be Jason Mahomes and get sacked six times in the Super Bowl. Like, you know, you're prepared, but, you might be standing on the wrong thing, but I mean, I love her. I like, I'm so,'s got the hair to the side. She's ready. Yeah. Now, when you say the hands are uneven, they're just not at the same height.

Is that right? And it's not even so much that they're not at the same height. It's the fact that, like, I can pick up on it, right? Even if they off a little bit. But the fact that I can pick up on it is telling me that, like. Whatever you are going to put down, it might not land how you're thinking it's landing, and you might think that you're coming off genuine and everyone's thinking you're out looking for idols, you know, something like that.

But I definitely feel like she's going to be able to speak up. She's going to speak up. And I think that she's for sure going to be a character, not a character, but a person we love because she's going to speak her mind. Like I get like a Hannah Shapiro. I feel like a Hannah meets a Venus. Ooh, okay.

I saw that, that's, you know, I'm here for it. Okay, all right. That's Camilla, okay? Next up, Bryce, we're gonna talk about Kevin. I'm here for it. Okay, all right. That's Camilla, okay? Next up, Bryce, we're gonna talk about Kevin is up next. Okay, and Kevin, he's a smiley guy. Here he is. Here's Kevin.

And he has his arms crossed very tightly as he also has a linen shirt, but like vertical stripes, and also some white khaki shorts. Okay. The length of the shorts are great. Good. Okay, I like the combination of one color of the stripes

matching the shorts. Kevin is looking into the camera. He's smiling. Kevin's attractive. He's tall. He's giving us the quintessential. Winter pose, but normally. With this quintessential hands crossed, you don't really get a smile smile like that. Right. So that concerns me. Why? Because it just like I've seen it where hands

across, which means, listen, like I'm I'm here to play survivor. And so he's smiling at us, letting us know, like trying to lower his threat level. But I feel like with a smile like that, it almost lends to, I think Kevin is like a really nice guy. I think that, like, I feel like you might be out here to play and get dirty, but when it's time, when Thanksgiving comes, everybody wants to catch the turkey, but what it's where when it's when it's time to

The turkey everybody everybody not bill for it right everybody wants to eat Thanksgiving dinner But nobody wants to kill the turkey right I'm just saying I don't know if I actually see a killer in Kevin, which I love because Kevin is extremely attractive. He looks friendly. He looks like people are going to like him. Also looks like a Zaddy if I see one. But I think I want to go back to what you're saying about the different the different parts of Kevin that might be a little bit of a, you know, fighting each other where Kevin is very happy up top. Yes. And is very closed off in business like is that a mixed signal internally? in business like, is that a mixed signal internally? I think so. And again, if we want to dissect this even more

with the quintessential hands across your, hands folded across your chest, right? You don't want to be looking like you're strangling somebody, right? Like you don't want to look like, you know, it wants to be like, they supposed to be here cause I'm a winner, right? Like, and again, you know, it wants to be like, they supposed to be here because I'm a winner. Right. Like, again, it's I feel like Kevin listens to the podcast

because we don't see no thought. I don't even know if I don't even know one with a crowbar. I don't know if like Kevin just has a wrist. Right. Like, so he's he's locked down. And then we can even dissect it a little bit more because his feet are planted really well. The one foot is like directly planted, strong down. The other one is a little lexed in the back. And so that again makes me nervous

that he looks like he's in good position. But if somebody were to come at you, I think that his balance would be off. So I think that Kevin might have an internal struggle here where it's like, he knows the game, he's out here to play, but he is this attractive, fun, and friendly guy. And again, everybody wants to go to Thanksgiving and eat, but when it's time to come outside and rrrah,

everybody can't kill a turkey. So I don't know, but I love, I feel like Kevin's energy is great. I feel like he's, I mean, he's going to be great to look at. And yeah, but it's, it's hard to explain the science of it's a look, right? Because this is a winter pose, but I don't know if I believe it.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I do, because you're saying the face doesn't match the, like, there's a winner facial look. And, but you could be a smiley winner, right? Right. But it's like, I don't know. I feel like if Kevin would have just dropped his hands or put his hands on his hips and gave us like that with this smile, I feel like it would have been a marriage that I'm like, Oh,

Kevin's got Kevin's going to win. It's that it's that like, I'm here to play. No, I'm with you 100% because there's multiple we've seen every different type of person win the game. And sometimes you win by sort of, you know, forcing it. And sometimes you win by being having a good social game and sort of being under the radar and being a very like inviting person. But in this picture, we're seeing two different aspects of Kevin and they have to line up in the game.

You could be either one, it's hard to be both at the same time. It's hard to be intimidating and inviting at the same time. Right. And it's like, no doubt that he's prepared. No doubt that he knows what he's out here for. But sometimes when you hit that beach, Robert, it hits a little different.

Can I say for Kevin that I'm wondering, could it be nerves at all? Where, you know, he's very excited, but I'm wondering if maybe the arms being a little too tight is a little bit of a sign of that he's a little nervous. Yes, could be. I mean, I want to give Kevin all the benefits and all the doubts that I could give him. But I also feel like in the game, you're going to be nervous.

In the game where you're about to lie to somebody, in the game where you're like finding an idol, you're going to lie to somebody, in the game where you're like finding an idol, you're going to be nervous. And so like, again, that's why I feel like It's a Look is a proven science where I want Kevin to win. We can add Kevin to my Yes, Pop, because that's how much I like to look at Kevin. But I am, I'm a little nervous, I will be honest. But this is the new era,

and the new era puts they own little stank on it. So again, maybe he is maybe he's throwing us off. I don't know you never know Okay. All right. Next up we're talking about Kyle Okay. All right. Here comes Survivor Kyle Red shirt. And we've got some, you know, dark gray shorts. Yeah.

Is it just me? I feel like that the clothes the survivors are wearing a little or a little bit more plain than was something what we've seen in the past in the cast photos Is that just in my head? No, it's not a lot of solid colors Plane a few patterns, but I don't feel like that. We're seeing any like really wild super memorable clothes from the survivors I Agree, I mean I'm people I'm thinking about is charity. But I, uh, Kyle

looks very distinguished. Yeah. He looks very, I almost get similar from Kevin and Kyle, right? They both look young professionals, young professionals, like nice, friendly. Like I get like a Caleb Wendell vibe from him. I get that he is like I get that in my own world in a TV show. His dad is the president and he's like the president's son. Yeah. And he'd be drinking on a weekend with his friends and stuff. Yeah. But like, you know, good morning, sir. Like, he's very proper. He's very like he speaks to everybody.

He acknowledges everybody. He's like, you know, here for a good time and very chill. I think that he's going to be welcoming. But again, thumbs, right. And so I see very similarities in a Kevin and a Kyle. Right. But the difference is what I can tell about their a Kevin and a Kyle, right? But the difference is what I can tell about their game is that like, I feel like things, Kevin isn't going to be,

Kyle isn't going to be as neat with his game. He's going to like drop some Easter eggs around the camp. Kevin, on the other hand, he gonna be locked up. And then that's also going to be a red flag a little bit, but I really like Kyle He's very chill. I like the tattoos on his legs. They tell us a story He what's the story Sam? Can we see? enhance enhance

Okay, hmm Okay. Hmm. Well, is that little boat at the bottom? A boat. A boat or a bridge. There's two lines. Hmm. Yeah, but the two lines is an interesting story. Yeah. I don't know what that means.

It looks like a town. It looks like maybe a, a homeland, uh, from his, where, as parents. I don't know if that's a flag to the right. The two lines. I feel like some type of armed forces, military, some type of, you know, something. Mm-hmm. Two lines.

Parallel. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. But we like Kyle. He's, his feet are planted in a great direction. Again, he just looks so friendly and so perfect. And I did read a little bit of some of the people.

And I think that what makes me so nervous about him is that I think like he said he wanted to play a game of Caleb. Not not Caleb. Obama. Why not Caleb? Because Caleb was too perfect. Yeah, Caleb was literally. I mean, yes, but ultimately, like he was too perfect.

Like people saw him as like the nicest person ever. And that didn't work. Yeah. And so, yeah, I get a little nervous about Kyle, but I definitely get like relaxed, chill. Kyle's arms are flexed a little bit, even though he has them in his pocket. Very chill. So it's like Kyle's here to play. He's he's athletic. He got a little fight. There's a dog in there. But.

Them thumbs, Kyle's going to slip up on know. There's a dog in there, but them thumbs. Kyle's gonna slip up on something. I can't put my finger on it, but. Or thumb. Or thumb. Or thumb. Okay. But we like a Kyle.

All right. Is he going through to the list, short list? I mean, I think we're gonna keep Kyle here. Okay. Okay. The two thumbs, I could, like, I could. Yeah, it's a lot of thumbs. Okay. Okay. It's the two thumbs. I can't like, I could. Yeah, it's a lot of thumbs. Okay. All right. Next up, we're gonna talk about Mary. Okay. All right. And you tell us what we

have here for Mary. Oh, Mary with her crocheted dress. I believe she made it herself. You just said, where are the memorable outfits? Yes, where are the memorable? This is memorable. Miss Mary, okay. Miss Mary, Mac, Mac, Mac. All dressed in black. Black, okay. Got bangs. Are those, do I see, does Mary have little hoop earrings? Yes. Okay, Mary. Yeah.

Hoop is, we like hoops, but hoops also like to come off with some, with somebody. Okay. Somebody says the wrong thing. Yeah. Okay. She's giving us the Beyonce from the Me, Myself, and I era bang.

Love it. Love the crocheted. I love the colors. It's telling me a story. I feel like Mary is a layered person. She has a story to tell. Hands on the colors. It's telling me a story. I feel like Mary is a layered person. She has a story to tell. Hands on the hips. We don't see a thumb. She's tilted to the side. Very strong player. Mary, what you see is what you get

is what I'm getting from someone like a Mary. And I love it. Love, love, love Mary. All right. Yeah. good pose, right? Good leg, like she knows what she's doing with her leg, planted. Kinda. This is where it's a little tricky is because her feet are pointed,

it looks like the same direction. And so that isn't good for withstanding a blow or preparing yourself. So that makes me nervous. Below the knee down, Mary, that makes me nervous. It's the below the knee down. Mary, that makes me a little nervous. But below the knee up like Mary, that's like 75 percent like from the knee up.

Yeah. But I mean, is it a hundred? No. But is Mary going through? Is Mary on the list? Because yes, we're going to put Mary on the list? Wait because yes, we're gonna put Mary on the list Okay, come on Mary I put her through I Don't get a vote, but I would yeah, okay. Yeah Bryce next up we're talking about Mitch. Okay, Mitch from Waco Gym teacher Mitch. Okay. Mitch from Waco. The gym teacher. Oh, come on, P.E.

Here he is. Mitch with a floral shirt. He's got the shorts. I think a good length. Fingers in pocket, but an exposed thumb. An exposed thumb. But I'm loving this shirt. Probably the my favorite floral shirt I've seen've seen hoochie daddy shorts approved.

OK, because they're like the khaki hoochie daddy shorts. Mitch looks super fit. He looks fun. He has the right type of pose in his legs where one foot to the left, one foot kind of like planted in under the sand. Mitch is giving us a very strong pose. I like Mitch. I have had the opportunity of meeting Mitch before as a survivor fan.

And so I feel like I've known Mitch for a number of years online. And so I one am a little biased because I'm excited for Mitch to do. But that thumb, Mitch, is what's scaring me because, again, it's kind of like Mitch is giving us everything. He's giving us a nice little smile. And if we could, can we see his smile again? You see the difference in like Mitch's smile as opposed to like a Kevin smile where it's like Mitch isn't like,

he not giving us a lot, but it's like a, like you know, like there's, so for me, however Mitch is gonna play this game, because in my mind, I want Mitch to be a chaotic mess. In the sense, I want him to get out there and I want him to like kind of be running this game and I want people like not to expect it for Mitch and I feel like this smile kind of gives the perfect thing of what I'm looking for. But me hoping that Mitch is like a chaotic out there cause and like you know like the star of the show that Thumb Robert scares me with me wanting Mitch to be so chaotic. It's like, and we're gonna be chaotic and do all this stuff.

We got to make sure they don't see any of our hands. Yep. Gotta watch it. We gotta watch it. All right. Anything with Mitch? Feet? Feet are good. I love Mitch.

I've like read and heard his story and I'm really excited for Mitch to go out here and Again, I really want Mitch to like You on the island like be my say I just like I just I hope Mitch gives me what I want in this season But I'm so excited for Mitch. Okay, let's talk next About another contestant. We're gonna talk about Say coming up next, okay? Here she is. Here is Say, what do you say?

Hey, hey Say, okay, listen. She got some denim shorts. She got denim shorts. Tucked in shirt. Tucked in shirt, She got, okay, say, that's not lotion. That's giving like baby oil, okay? Because Say's legs is glistening and shining.

I love it. We love the details. You know I love a brown skinned queen. I feel like she's got her straight backs going on. She's smiling. It's an interesting hand pose, right? Because... I don't think we've seen that too much. We haven't.

A lot on Survivor. And... I feel like we see people do this in the wild, right? Like, I feel like when you're on the boardwalk and you are, like, waiting for somebody to come out with their funnel cake or something, you kind of, like, do this thing where it's kind of like. Anxious, bored, like it's kind of like I got to like utilize my pockets, like, you know,

so I get like and we see both of her thumbs and so I get nervous for Si seeing this hand motion where I feel like Si has what it takes to kill it. But I am nervous with this pose because it's like, will you get nervous out there? Will like I don't know if it's like fidgety. Well, then they people think like, oh, it's got to be Psy because she's doing. I don't know. But this is a very interesting type of pose where it's like she's trying to give chill, relax arms, still a little flex.

So it's like Psy Sy, she comes to play, but it's in this like weird phase. And so I'm nervous that Sy might be nervous out there and that matters. It really does. So I'm scared, but I'm gonna be rooting for, and I believe she might be from Philly. So I have to root for my Philly queen.

So I am rooting for her. But I like two thumbs side. Come on. Mm hmm. Yeah. All right. What about lower body feet planted? Kind of kind of going in one direction. Yeah, kind of going in one direction. So again, like I just

sometimes I don't like this giftIF because it's making me nervous because I feel like a feet placed in one direction. So that's telling me she's loyal. She's going, okay, loyal to the soil. She's going the direction of where the tribe is going. But if somebody were to come up behind her or on the side where her hands and this, but like she be falling to the ground.

And then all the sand will be stuck to her, her beautifully shiny legs. Like, you know, like, so I'm nervous for my, I'm nervous for her. But I'm rooting for her. All right. Bryce, let's talk about a guy who made a big impression so far.

Let's talk about Shaheen is next. Okay, here he is. Here is Shaheen. Okay, and he's got on vertical stripes and a little bit of a collar here. He's also got the shorts, blue shorts. Necklace. And of course, the famous beard. The beard. We like him, okay?

First of all, very attractive. You know what? I'll be honest. You know what this outfit gives me? I can't imagine. It reminds me of Jam Jam. Oh. Just the the the stripes.

So he didn't have vertical stripes he had on one of his husband's like oversized shirt, right? And that's kind of like what this material of this shirt is. But it's like the the color palettes. It's his beard. I first of all, he gives first of all, I feel like he's looking directly at me. I feel like he is like flirting with me from this photo. We're trying to do a podcast with Bryce. OK, he can we can we please have a little professional courtesy? Can we have a room, please, sir?

Do you mind? He's right. How does I have her? Because I'm shy. He's making me a little nervous. Take his face off the screen. OK, all right. Is that better, Bryce? But listen.

He has the rich jewelry finger, like he's got jewelry on necklaces. We appreciate that. Hands on the hip. Very this is a bit OK. First of all, Shaheen is going to the next. He understood the assignment. He understood the assignment. Now, maybe he this isn't his first cast photo. He was an alternate.

Really? Yeah. He was an alternate for, I said, Sam, take the face off. Let's say, but it is, looking at how he has his hands on his hips, right? Very assertive, but not assertive. And also I could see that he has one of his hips pushed out. Right?

But the shirt is, yeah, I mean, cause he, he ready to go. Like he can, this is, this is, he's a work of art. Wow. I don't think you've ever used that term before. Yeah, he like, the shorts, it's the color combo. Only David was the work of art. Well, yes. No, well, David was a masterpiece.

Mm-hmm. Shaheen, and I don't want to mess his name up. Shaheen. Shaheen. Shaheen. It's just his body language here. It's telling a lot, but it also is like very minimal. And it's like he's not doing a lot, but I can see a lot in this movement and it's very

strong. Love the colors. Yeah. Leg placement. Leg placement? Leg placement is great. He can maneuver any way he wants to go. He's flirting with me. So I feel like he's going to be a flirt.

I feel like he's going to have a big personality. Again, if I am getting jam jam vibes from this, we know how it ultimately worked out for a jam jam. And so I am, again, I'm loving him. I do know that he is Persian and I had talked about this before. I grew up watching Shires of Sunset. And I like, I just, I feel like I connect with him

and he's, this probably is. Yeah, this is a really good is to look pose. I'm just saying, like, if I can't even look at his face, can we bring his face back yet or no? OK, and it's like when we look at it from far away, it doesn't really look like he's doing much in the face. But then when you zoom in on the face, it's like really look like he's doing much in the face, but then when you zoom in on the face, it's like he is, like, he is addressing me

with his eyes, and he's smiling that beard. Bryce. Hey, what's going on, buddy? It's me, Shaheen. Listen, you see those eyes? And the fact that we can get in close so we can see that thing, like, honey brown. Oh This man is dangerous price

This is also another sad camera Is he married do we know We have to look that up I Don't think so and this don't know if this is Shaheen Mm-hmm. Okay Mr. Another mr. Shaheen. So yeah, this is great. I mean it is it's the effortless That he's giving us and I'm not trying to harp on him too much because I just again I

But it's the effortless him too much because I just again, I, but it's the effortless when we get into like the hip action, like his hands are placed. And here's another thing I would just want to point out. So I can see that his hands aren't evenly aligned, right? They're a little off, but you see how we can't really tell. So it's not a huge thing. It's like, doesn't bother you like with Camilla doesn't bother me as much and it's like He's giving that he's hands on the hips to the side But is really hands on the hips straight at us

Yeah, he It's almost too perfect for me. Oh, it's it. Yeah. Well, he's making it to the next level, but it's almost too perfect for me. Okay, we'll put him through. All right, next up, after Shaheen, it's gonna be a little bit of a surprise. Okay. When we see Star. We'll be seeing Stars when we see her.

Okay, here she is. Star. Oh, yeah. Okay, and star as a big season of vertical stripes, maybe a vertical pattern, and then also some black shorts. Not sure what that material is. It's giving a little like the,

I don't wanna say the shh't want to say the shh. Right. Arms folded, strong posture. Mm-hmm. They have their locks up, giving us a little style back. First of all, I get, like, I get very much main character energy from Star. Star is a star? She is very much a star. You can't be named Star and not be main character and not be a star. I feel

like otherwise her name would be coast star. That's not like, well, right. But it's like, what's another like, what would you name your kid? Extra? Extra. Yeah. Especially if they're not that extra. I don't think you would name a first born extra, though, because like they're going to have extra. But OK, but back to the star. Yeah. I like star again.

Quintessential hands across the arms. However, it's given me Kevin vibes up top a little bit. Like I'm not believing this pose that Star has. Like Star is a star, but I'm not believing it. Like it almost feels, I don't, it's hard to explain. explain and I like we will have to watch as this goes on and there's no doubt that star is a big energy, but I feel like this whole hands can we get zoom in like a Can we just go closer? Okay. Well, let me just see what is the like zoom in on that hand. Enhance. Enhance.

Yeah. So we do see a little remnants of a thumb. We see like the thumb muscle. Okay. We see a cross. Okay. So we know Star is religious, but again, it's like, it's almost like nervousness. Yeah. Like she's like holding her breath. And so that makes me nervous because you got to breathe. Yeah. But I also feel like she's trying to like signal to us like that pinky. I feel like that pinky is saying like, Hey, Bryce, pick me. You see the pinky? I like the pinky.

I also love the patterns. But it's a strong pose, but I'm just nervous because I feel like with Star's big energy and persona. I don't know what Star has. How's the legs? The legs are pretty good. She's like tilted to the side, so I'd like a little more versatility. But if someone were coming for her behind or on the side, she'd have enough time to maneuver.

She's planted. Yeah. She's planted. So she's good. I mean, I like Star. It's just like I'm getting like that same vibe with Kevin, where it's like in the photo, this is a quintessential winner photo. But it's something isn't selling it to me. I don't know what it is.

I'm like nervous for Star because it's like, I love so much and so much I can't wait to see, but I'm just a little nervous. I don't know. Do you pick it up on that energy that I'm saying or I don't know. I don't know. I feel like that she was pretty loose

in the conversation I saw her have with Mike Bloom. So I do see what you're saying about. I don't think that she has like the Kevin, you know, tightness as much, but I do see it a little bit here. Right. And again, you could be different on the interviews, but what I'm telling you is this,

when you take this photo this photo It seals the deal. Okay. All right, but Love star though. All right. Next up is Stephanie. Stephanie is a big personality Okay, looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Stephanie and here she is with a blue dress Okay Blue dress like the patterns Stephanie, and here she is with a blue dress. Okay. Blue dress, like the patterns, hands on the hips, very strong pose, right?

But she's not giving it to us strongly, right? And so it's like lowering her threat level. I love the dress pattern, love the hair to the front. Stephanie, Stephanie seems like a vibe. I feel like, you know, gets along with people. She's cool. But again, Stephanie is telling us she's come to play and it seems natural.

It seems like she gets it. Almost she's giving me, I'm getting Cassidy vibes. Yeah, I could see that a little bit. Yeah, but this is, I mean, I like, do we see, I don't see any thumbs from this angle. No thumbs, yeah, strong pose. Strong pose, no thumbs. I could see Cassidy, Kenzie type of vibes. Mm-hmm

Yeah, I mean I can I see our feet again like Paper okay, oh, is that a heel off the ground? That's the heel up. That's it That is a heel up, but a heel up means a toe down. Mm-hmm And so sometimes ten toes down. She's okay Mm-hmm. And so sometimes... Ten toes down. She's... Okay. She's ten toes down. So I just don't know if that ten toes down... Because sometimes when you ten toes down, it's 50% chance you're right or you're wrong.

So I don't know, but this is a really strong pose. I wonder if Stephanie was like a dancer or something. To have that her toe up or heel up toe down. Okay. Anything else about Stephanie? I like her. Strong pose. Do you put anything into like the background that they put them against in their pictures? I don't think that they get to pick it. Does that say anything to you? No, because I feel like also it's like,

you don't get to pick your background. Like you gotta make it pop. You gotta make it work. And so, yeah, this almost looks photoshopped in how great it looks. But yeah, I like Stephanie. This is a good pose. Okay, we can add Stephanie to the list, okay putting Stephanie through okay

She is number seven on the list. Okay, and then finally one more person. Let's talk about Thomas okay Thomas got another pattern shirt got some dark brown khaki shorts probably a decent length, hands in pockets, but thumbs are out. Thumbs are out. Love the shirt, though. Sure. Yeah. Love that. He's like directly looking at us smiling.

Again, very unassuming. Yeah. Thomas gives me very like unassuming, but like I don't, that doesn't sway me. Interesting hands in the pockets. But again, it's a he is signaling with his shoulders, right? His shoulders are, in my opinion, what are saying, this is the strong part. My hands in the pocket. Hey, I'm cool. What's up, guys? What's going on? opinion what I'm saying. This is the strong part. My hands in the pocket. Hey, I'm cool.

What's up guys? What's going on? But them shoulders are like, you know, ready to go. And so you wouldn't think from having his hands in his pocket that this is an action pose. But really it's like it's hiding the fact that he's in action mode. So I like this. I think that Thomas's threat level will be low. I think shorts are a great level above the knee. I like how it matches so well with the green and brown shirt. It's kind of similar to a lot of other people's shorts. However, Thomas has made the decision to pair it with this shirt and

it makes it just pop even more. So I feel like Thomas, given what given with what he is working with on the island, I feel like Thomas is going to be able to pop. I really like Thomas and I want to move him to the next level because there's something interesting about him. But I am nervous with them two thumbs, them two thumbs out and like his shoulders ready to go. It's like, I Thomas, I can't move you forward with the thumbs, but I really liked Thomas. And I feel like when we're moving forward or not because it's like in this new new era respect to Thomas. I feel like that You know, he could be honorable mention. Okay. Okay. All right. We'll give him an honorable mention honorable mention

Okay. All right. So let me just talk through because you got seven people already then you're talking about. Here's the thing I I know the two people that I've had the most reaction to yes Okay, so I have that I know one of them, okay, all right, so let me go back to okay So let's just let's talk about the guys first. Okay. Okay. All right, Sam. Can you first of was Joe? Dominic mm-hmm. Okay With, Kevin and Shaheen were the three people you talked about the three guys that you put through. Okay. Here was Joe one more time. Okay. Like Joe. Okay. Joe, you said the like a young Dama Bahti younger, younger dama ba tae. Then Kevin. Remember Kevin, who, you know,

yes, had a very friendly smile, but. Was he a little too closed off? A little, a little bit. And of course, who can forget the impression that Shaheen made on Bryce? Well, if it's out of those three, those were the three men Okay, most impressed with. Okay. So we're gonna take Shaheen to the next level.

Sam, can we just get a zoom in on Shaheen for a second? This is a great photo. Enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance. Bryce, thank you so much. This is such a great honor. It was my dream to be on Survivor, but now to be crowned the winner of the men for It's a Look, this is truly the greatest day of my life. Why am I really nervous though? Thank you so much, Bryce.

Okay. Well, I feel like it was last season. It was solid. You were the first on the salt train. You were, thank Robert! Thank you! You got it popping. So, it's a look, it's a science, it's not a formulated science, but it knows! And so, although I didn't get the winner right, we got Saul right, and that's all that matters. Okay.

Because... He was a rock star. And then who do I have as, who did I- Okay, first up. Okay. Chrissy was number one. Oh, okay, yeah. It's my girl.

Okay. All right, Chrissy. Remember she had the blue shirt that she tied off. Okay. Who can forget Chrissy? Love Chrissy. Okay. Chrissy wants to give fun aunt.

Wait, did she write that? She did. Okay. Alright, Eva. She doesn't want to be the mom. She wants to be auntie. Okay. Drop them kids.

Alright. And then here's Eva. Okay. Oh, forgot about Eva. Okay. Not forgot about it, but like, oh okay, Eva's a strong one. Alright, then Mary. Mary had the crochet. The crochet. Mm-hmm. Okay, here comes all right. Here's Mary. Okay, and Stephanie was number four Okay, Stephanie was the blue. Okay, I Finally is it's the for the the lady Stephanie Is gotta be the cool aunt. Okay, let's bring up, let's bring Chrissy back, okay? So, it would have to be, if it's a look,

chooses a man and a woman, it would have to be Stephanie. The king and the queen of it's a look. Okay, and what is it, is it just, is it the pose, is it the shirt, is it the vibe? It's just the vibe, right? Like, I feel like. If I was 15 and Chrissy's in the summer down the shore. If I wanted to have a little glass of Moscato,

I don't think Chrissy would tell Barb. I just there's just like, you know, but also it's like Chrissy means business, though. And I feel like there's just some there's something about her. And I keep saying it's like, Chrissy means business though. And I feel like there's just some, there's something about her. And I keep saying it's the older women, they, we haven't had, and again, aunt Chrissy is not older, but I'm just saying in the scheme of things, like, you know, we've had, what was her name?

Not Helen. What was the name with the girl from Canada who won Erica? What was Erica's runner up? Oh Didn't know there was gonna be quiz What's her name? So it's an S right? How Heather? We had Heather we had mama Tina. Mm-hmm. Then last season we had Sue Mm-hmm

So I'm just saying. Chrissy could take him home. Chrissy could take it home. Yep. So those are my men and women pick. But my overall Issa look has to go to Shasha because... Y'all got to him a nickname, quick. Because he like...

This is similar lead to how Jam Jam stole my heart with his Issa look pose. Like, Shaheen's pose is like, it's flawless. And it has so much attitude. Flawless victory. It has... It just has a lot. But it like, by the eye, you wouldn't say see much, but yeah, for Issa Look, it's gotta be him. Yeah.

Okay. Here he is Shaheen. All right. Crowned the winner overall of Issa Look, Survivor 48. Wow. We're right. I just can't believe like it's whenever Survivor 48 is the look like, oh, we've done a lot of these and they just get better and better each year. You're getting better at it.

I am. The players are making it hard. They're making me work for my birthday. OK, I guess birthday yet to show up and work and podcast. I do it again and again and again. But this is so much fun. But now it's like whenever we do is to look is always like I need to see how things are going to pan out. And one of my favorite past times are during the off seasons or when the season ends. I always love to go back and listen to it's a look again. Yes. And after we have seen like the complete arcs of people seeing if what I was picking up on was right or if, and I will say that I cannot even remember a time where like, okay, that they're not always going to win, but

I cannot remember a time where you picked somebody and they were just like total, you know, bombed out for, you know, uh, you know, first couple episodes. What a disaster. I don't think that that person has ever been, and it's a look-pick, and maybe somebody in the comments was, well actually, but you have a tremendous track record. I appreciate that, and I, uh, I remember one season people were trying to say that I was spoiled. Bae Bae, I don't play about spoilers. I love Survivor.

It is like, the one joy that I have is what, like, yeah, I don't play that. Bryce is gonna go look up the spoilers so he can nail the Issa Look pick. Yeah, that's not that deep. But I am excited though to see who will be joining the illustrious third boot this season. Because I think it's important to celebrate our third boots because, you know, I helped pave the way for third boots. And even if you go out early, it doesn't matter.

It's what you... What you said with it. That's right. What you do with it. Survival don't make you... You got an amazing community. And I just think I always just love to reinforce that because as a former pre-merger, I know what those feelings are like,

and it can consume you. But you also just have to realize that, like, it's a part of the game, and it's like there's an amazing community that you can tap into. And because of people like you, Robert, who have built communities like RHAP, there's just so much going on. And so I just want to say, keep everyone's head up. I remember this time during Survivor Kageon five years ago,

and the preseason was my favorite time because nobody knew nothing about, like we all were on the same level, which is why I love to do It's a Look because it's silly and it's fun, but I hope that they feel celebrated and it's all love. And to the future early boots, that there really is room for everybody in this community

when you love Surviv survivor and you love to be a part of it. And you know, I think that, you know, forget about what you've done and everything you've done, but you know, I think about, you know, recent seasons, people like Brandon Donlin and Zach and Jalinsky and people that are just, you know, beloved people in this community who have taken, you know, lemons and made lemonade. Absolutely. Yeah. So whoever. Yeah. Enjoy the ride. Yep. Okay. All right. So Bryce, it's the Bryce birthday bash.
