Episode Date: October 14, 2025

Survivor 49 Ep 3 B&B Recap w/ Pooya With a new Survivor season upon us, it’s time for Mike Bloom and Liana Boraas to re-open the RHAP B&B! On the B&B, Mike and Liana are inspired by the lighter side of Survivor, featuring a series of segments and games based on what’s happening on Survivor […]

Mike and the Anna gather playing some games You better pray to your mama that they're not super lame And if that all sounds cool I can tell you the name It's the R-H-A-P-B-M-B-M-B- Mike and the honor gotta play in some games You'll pray to your mama that they're not super lane And if that all sounds cool I can tell you the name It's the R.H.A.

You can stay for free. Hi, everybody, and welcome to the RHAP B&B for week three of Survivor 49. My name is Mike Bloom here a little bit later than usual. But as we'll talk about with my two fantastic guests, we've done a lot of celebrating this past week, both, you know, celebrating love as well as having our hearts broken as someone goes home to celebrate love in a very different way as we are talking about two boots here on Survivor 49 unlike the two boots that someone maybe could have worn in the water to prevent a certain outcome from happening. But we're going to get into everything going on with seemingly the final stages

of the first part of this season as Kella officially gets decimated here. Of course, I'm joined every week by the one, the only Leanna Boris. Liana, how are you? I'm doing fantastic. That's actually a good point It does feel like the end of the first era. Like, normally it takes the full pre-jury with the complete decimation. I think this is episode three of fitting end to the first chapter of Survivor 49. Yeah, we're going to put this all behind us. And I'm very excited to be bringing on a guy who is sitting behind me during the live RHAP event this past week. Somebody who, you know, I'm going to imagine you could certainly talk about how loyal he is to Liana,

much like Sophie did with apparently every single person in her life. it is Puyazia Keeley. Mike, I am one of the people who did catch you laughing at things that you should not have been laughing at. Me? I'm not the only one here, people, okay? There was an entire room of hundreds of people

that were laughing at this. Yeah, but I'm not going to switch on myself. I was also there. Yeah, no, I'm very excited to be here. This was a fun a fun week for me to be on given that we got to watch it together, you know?

Yeah. it was a really interesting episode to watch in a room full of people because obviously this is the most eventful episode, bar none but that also contains a man in a different world possibly dying from a venomous snake bite

and so there was a vote on top of that though there is some stuff to get into there but Leanna I'm very curious from your perspective because I do feel like no matter what the quality of the episode might be there is this rising tide with hopefully no secrets in it that is getting to be in a room

with hundreds of people, hundreds of devoted fans celebrating this show. You got to watch it solo, Dolo. So what was sort of your take in this isolated environment? Not only did I get to watch it solo Dolo. I watched it on a plane on my phone. So like you watched literally on the big screen. So for me, you know, watching it alone, look, I watched the previews every week. I knew, I saw someone on a stretcher, okay?

Omer had tweeted how dangerous this kind of snake was. Like, I knew that this was happening. So for me, it was just kind of one of those things where you know the ultimate outcome. So you're just sort of going, they're just watching it unfold, right? Like, I know how the story ends. So, like, we just watched that whole piece of it. And then, of course, you do have the Jeremiah boot, which I guess that was maybe the biggest surprise to me was the fact that they did go ahead with a vote out for this episode. So that was really what I was kind of waiting to see.

And I do feel like every single moment, I was like, when is Jeff going to be like, okay, you can just go back to camp? Like I believe that there might not have been a vote like right up until he said it's time to vote. Poyah, what did you think? Did you like getting to sort of cram these two very different events? And I am wearing my Canadian tuxedo as well in honor of the fact that we did bid a due to both Canadians this season in one fell swoop. Yes, yeah, I would wear a red flannel, but we're still too close to Big Brother 27

that people might think I'm dressing like Vince. I'm not going to do that. I'm doing the Vince. Yeah, Leanna is wearing a beanie for those that are just listening along. This is true. Well, okay, sorry. What was the question? Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay. Oh, great, okay, here's the heat. No, no, no, no, no. I'm back. I'm starving. I'm back. Here's the thing. Okay, so I, part of me felt bad.

First of all, Leanna, this is not Australian survivors. So Jonathan La Paglia would usually be like, all right, go home. Nothing's going to happen here. I know. But here, when you get there nine times out of ten, someone's going to go. But honestly, and I feel. and it feels mean or bad to say this but it just kind of felt like

all right let's just move this along to the next chapter like if we had no elimination here and then next week we see they go back right back to tribal only for this to happen that would be three hours we're dragging along this blue tribe being tragic so at least we cannot move into the next chapter see what's going to come of the new dynamics

and get a little switch up here yeah I would agree with that again it's tough because to your point it does come at the expense of losing people who the new era is proving almost increasingly the idea of just the luck of the draw sometimes being determined from the very first day even beforehand where sometimes the people that you happen to share a beach with in many ways will determine where you go if jeremiah and joan switch places for example where does he go necessarily in this game i do agree with you puya i mean i think the closest example you can think of is survivor 46 where listen i think we at the bnb loved

the Banu of it all that we got an episode of it, but I know a lot of people, especially in the moment, were like, we got Randon's active god, Deosex Machina, you know, numb arm medevac, just to get an hour and a half more of an obvious Banu boot. And so, yeah,

I guess to that point, Leanna, the secret might have sped run Kella along a little bit. Yeah, the secret was actually a paid actor. Exactly. Yeah, they actually extracted the venom ahead of time. to make sure that it would be a dry bite,

that he wouldn't get sick. Yeah, I mean, it definitely did. Like, when we had been talking about this already for two episodes about, oh, what a disaster with Marianne last week. We went on like a long rant about how we're sick of the disaster tribes. Give them food. Give them Flint. Stop taking it away.

So it almost does feel like the show heard that rant. It was like, oh, okay, you'd want to be done with this now? All right, let's like fast forward this process. I think also knowing the fact that the, then going to do a swap also is pretty exciting. Like, it's unfortunate that it had to come at the hands, obviously, of Jake getting medevacked and, you know, them getting decimated. But it's just exciting to see a swap in the new era.

Very true. Very true. So I guess we really do need to get into the most climactic part of this episode. If not the first three in general, in the form of, again, this is wild. Like, this is wild. And I guess one of the. I wouldn't say bigger talking points but I was intrigued to see that

our Daryl friend Sam Phelan and Omer to a certain extent, you know, had been talking about the fact that like on paper this is one of the most dangerous things to happen in survivor history. And I think people have pushed back you know, they bring up he who must not be names of the firefaller

himself. They talk about Beasmo Cowboy. They talk about Russell Swan. I don't know, Pua, where does this stand for you? Do you think the lack of Dramatics means it's inherently not as dangerous as those instances. Well, I do feel like Jeff really went out of his way to highlight that, hey, so this was a dry bite. There was no venom. However, the psychological factor here of you having gone through this and also we're about to send you back into the conditions you had means were.

And you have a child on the way. We want to take the necessary precautions here. I felt like this is obviously, this wasn't Caleb on the verge of, you know, No, yeah, this wasn't other people like passing out unconscious in the middle of a challenge. This wasn't someone ripping their head open in the middle of a challenge. This was something that should have been scary, but also it's the way Jake delivered the line of like, hey, so the snake just latched on to me. And then nothing else happened. Like, and then it was just like a little panic and that was it.

So I'm not trying to minimize it any means. Y'all, the people know snakes are my worst fear. And I don't, if it could have been, it could have been a bite drier than this Ruben's. sandwich Leanna had yesterday, I would 100% be like, get me home. Like, I don't care. I'm not doing this. So, yeah, I feel like ultimately not as big of a deal as some of these other boots, but that's not to say that it wasn't a big deal because, again, I feel like Jake's story

is a very, very huge one in that this, he mentions this is the last time my dad's going to get to watch Survivor. And this is how his story ends, which sucks. I guess there is solace in that, hey, dad, look, I had good control of this tribe. if I if that snake didn't bite me and then he got to see his choppy born like that's a huge W as well so it's hard to feel bad for someone who has love you know like yeah I mean like obviously it worked out uh I guess you could say that right in the sense that he was able to be home for the birth of his child so you know despite the fact that he gets pulled from the game medically like he can still you know see see the birth of his child which is great I would say for me the whole thing was kind of weirdly edited and I don't know if this is because it was a dry bite, but Puya, what you had mentioned about Jeff being like very emphatic

and saying multiple times, like so even though it's just a dry bite, you still would pull him from the game and then having a genetic guy like saying that and then saying it's he said that sentence like Jeff did three times. He's had the conversation with the medical guy. He

had the conversation with Jake and then when he told the rest of the survivors at the immunity challenge, he was like explaining why it was necessary for him to be pulled. And I got to chat with a bunch of people this weekend about this. I brought this up a lot because I was just like, what did you think about this? Because to me, it felt like propaganda.

Also clarify, we were at a wedding this weekend. We were at a celebration of love. And Leanna's walking around making small talk by being like, so dry bite. Am I right? Wet day, dry bite. I know, right? Exactly. It's my normal small talk I always go to at weddings.

So yeah, I don't know. there was just something kind of weird about like how emphatic Jeff was that it was like you can just say that he needs to be pulled from the game like nobody's going to question your authority although and yeah it did feel just like haphazard when it first happened but I get because this is so incredibly rare that you know that they didn't necessarily prepare for it or like you know be set up for it but it just it just did feel like very haphazard the way that it ultimately all went down yeah there was It was sort of an interesting tonal shift to it. And part of it, I think, did come from just the way that people were approaching in the moment where you have, like, the producer being like, oh, hey, can I take a look at that? And again, to your point, it's very casual. But also maybe, as what Alex mentions, it was more so a more form of bedside manner of like, I'm just going to keep my voice nice and calm.

Yeah. I'm going to keep things low stakes because I don't want to spike any sort of cortisone in your blood by saying that you may be dying right now. and then smash cut. Easy breathing. Get the paddles. Like, freaking, you know, Baywatch meets the pit.

Match matches, you know, Dr. House in the form of Dr. Barry diagnosis coming in. And then even that decelerates where it's like, oh, he's fine. He's got the oxygen. Like, he's totally cool. Don't worry about it.

I mean, it is tonal whiplash. And maybe that's meant to represent, again, sort of where production was in that moment of like, oh, uh, uh, uh, but it does lead to, I agree. an unintentionally odd outcome in the pit of your stomach of being like, and this happens with really every Metaback that, again, does not have a visual component to it.

This is so bad to say, but like, I honestly wonder if Jake started like frothing at the mouth, people might be like, oh my God, this was so serious. Instead, it was like, oh, yeah, you're totally fine. And then, of course, comes the umpteenth amount of questions that come in of like, well, why couldn't you go back in the game then? Why couldn't you put him in air conditioning for two days? which at this point would have been like a 10th of the season proper. So it was a no-go.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. So it was just kind of weird the whole thing. And it was like such a big chunk of the episode as well. I mean, understandably, it's not like they had a ton to show from after the immunity challenge anyway. So like I get why it ended up being so much of it. But yeah, from a, I think that's what it is. Like from a tonal perspective, I was just like, how am I supposed to feel about this?

Like what is happening here? But it's just, it's, it is sad to lose the shoe bandit this way. Like I never want to see anybody medically evacuated. But especially someone who is in such a good position within their tribe. I mean, well, who knows that tribe gets decimated. But the point is, is it like I would have loved to have seen what Jake would have done with the rest of the game. And it's always sad to lose someone from MediBak. But I will say the shoe karma is real.

Like the fact that the bite was where a shoe would be is. kind of funny, you have to admit. Yeah. Yeah. I think what was, what's interesting is, again, watching this episode on live audience and Mike, I already alluded to you laughing, this was a very laughy auditorium watching this way out. And I think that should tell you what tone we were getting. Because if this was a life for death, like Tombert, no one's going to laugh. It don't matter who the contestant, no one's laughing. But it just kind of did feel like a roller coaster of now we're very serious. Now Jeff has repositioned in front. of the room telling us like it is a nature show what is happening back there now he's in there

now he's saying i'm here for you now like it was just a little bit all over the place so it is what it is um that being said i genuinely mean this when i say the minute we have a new era returny season jake's going to be on that ballot like there's no way they're going to cut his story short like this yeah i mean again i agree that it's just and one of the other reasons why i think again, maybe the room was a little more titillated is because of this idea that like this was so wild, right? And you kind of have to like laugh sometimes in disbelief

at this idea that like it's been 25 years and it took this long, especially filming for 10 years in Fiji. And Jeff outlines how incredibly rare this is to get this man bit by this snake that would have killed

somebody in an instant. Like this is, they mentioned lightning striking twice. I really do feel like this is going to especially now after this season like a once in a lifetime thing that we have seen on the show and there kind of is just this moment where and also granted obviously

all of us who follows social media know that Jake was alive and well so this wasn't even a situation where it's like are we going to watch a man die on live television in front of hundreds of other people what gladiatorial BS is this but I think that

it was this interesting balance of bringing in this incredibly real element into the game Well, also, we should also mention pulling back the curtain in a wild way on the show. Like, we saw base camp. We saw the medical facility. You could argue we spent more time in that medical facility than tribal council in this episode. No, that was actually going to be the next thing I was going to bring up was how we felt about that.

Like, because obviously we've had this happen previously, but never to this degree, right? Like, I remember that shot so clearly, Puya, you mentioned Kayla, but like when, we saw all the like things descending in the helicopter and like all that like I remember that being so jarring of like wow we're really breaking the fourth wall here but for this I mean we we went through several walls to get into the medical building so like we really were breaking down a lot of barriers there so I kind of like we needed it maybe from a storytelling perspective um and also what else were they going to show in the episode so like maybe that was why they chose to show so much I mean we saw like Like this episode definitely was starving for content because we also saw the other two tribes find their bewares. Like I feel like there was a lot of work put in when and like I'm pretty sure one of them was after Blue had lost and was going to try. Like we got that segment after. Which is also pretty wild when you like sandwich like we have Jake getting his game cut out from under him for no reason of his own going home to see the birth of his child. The abject devastation that Keller experience, not really learning this news, but losing another.

challenge with nobody celebrating. Risgot finds an idol. These three people are devastated as they must turn on one another. Like what? Again, it's odd, disparate tones going on on the island right now. Mm-hmm. And yeah, and the fact that the Oolie one was after, like you

said as well. So it was like, oh, okay, like what is happening? Because I was, you're obviously devastated for them. Like the shot of Jeremiah, Alex, and Sophie on the platform or whatever, one, when they find out that they're losing Jake. And then also obviously

after they know they're going to lose because they're not going to get the puzzle done was just like, God, you're just so devastated for them. And then yeah, you have a man named Risgod going out and getting an idol. So, you know, like you said, very tonally different. Yeah. Now that I think about it, the more we're talking this through,

this was a really weird episode of Survivor in a lot of ways. Yeah. I guess to answer your question, I mean, I'm obviously in from a very different perspective, right? Because I look behind the curtain at so much stuff In fact, I can reveal I visited that notable room of the medical facility. That will be a story for next season, not this season, but I still visited medical. And it was interesting, actually, because I believe before this season, when I went out for 49, you know, that was my fourth time out on set.

I had never seen medical before. I had heard of it. Obviously, it's all housed on base camp. And I happened to walk in there, you know, some other people needed some stuff to get treated. And I was like, oh, this is a nice place. I had no idea how prominent it would become in my life, not only a month later, but several months down the line

when it turns into a makeshift ER. And so it was a weird sort of like Leo pointing at the finger type of, pointing at the finger, pointing at the screen with a finger type of moment. I'm saying, oh, I know these people. Oh, I know this place. And so again, I personally, I don't even say enjoyed it. I'm always intrigued by it because of someone who knows so much. about what happens behind the scenes.

It is cool to sometimes acknowledge the fact that Survivor is an iceberg. You know, it's an iceberg out in the middle of aging where you only really see Jeff, but there are hundreds of people making this all work behind the scenes. And unfortunately, it takes a life-threatening situation like this to reveal that. But Puyah, what did you think about it? Was it too much of, as Leon says, not breaking the fourth wall, but more so removing yourself from the wall and going into another house? well a little bit right

I feel like I don't know I just this yeah I don't know if I'm being honest I know that's not the answer you're looking for yeah yeah I mean I think like I think it's always

it's always nice to be able to appreciate and understand like all the support that goes on out there right and I think like knowing the fact that the contestants are taking care of. There's support systems, like, in place that they're ready to handle. Maybe now they have a better protocol if there were to be a secret bite. But didn't they, like, ask a bunch of people on the island?

Like, no one was like, no one's gotten bid. It's not happened before. Not only that. One of the many reasons why Jake couldn't come back into the game is that they still did have to monitor him. Like, the vital showed at this point. There wasn't any venom in his system, but they still had to, like, basically monitor him for a 48-hour period to make sure there wasn't just like a little

tidbit, a little scotch that was going to enact itself in its system. And so they took him to a local hospital after formally removing him from the game. And they also, this train medical staff based in Fiji, had never met or experienced anyone who had been

by a secret before. They had to airlift him out to Australia, which is very ironic, considering that he lived there for quite some time. And while he stripped there back in the day, this time I guess he was stripped of the possible title of Soul Survivor through this Jake bite. But yeah, I mean, it like, again, it cannot be spoken about how freak of, it's weird to say freak accident, because again, this was like an animal's natural bite. And also the weird thing is we don't know the circumstances behind it. You know, I got the chance to talk with Jake and I asked him, like, what do you think happened? And he, all he figures is like, I didn't provoke it. Maybe I was near a nest and this was the mama snake and this was like the getaway bite. Considering that like, this little, this little shit head, when Jake is say like, hey guys, come on.

over and everyone is slowly freaking out this asshole is just watching his handiwork by the sidelines be like uh huh yeah I did that today I'm gonna go yeah exactly I loved it

I loved it so much no because we didn't get like a good shot of him actually getting bit right so and it looks like he's just sitting in the water like it didn't look like he went out and he was like poking something or trying to you know

like mess with something. I mean, maybe if he was, I don't remember if he was maybe like digging in the sand. So yeah, the nest thing could make sense. But I will say it was nice of the snake to stay long enough to get its picture taken. So then that way they could identify it.

That's true. Is there going to be now like wanted posters up around the survivor production? I'd be like, if you see this snake, please report it to the authorities. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like a wanted posters and everything. There's a bounty for turning in the snakes.

But I mean, of all the, like, oh, the other thing that was very cool was Alex pulling out the book. Yeah. That was kind of neat to see, too. Again, if we're talking about pulling back the curtain, his binder of things, items, creatures, plants, I guess is what it was. Like, it was like what's dangerous out there? Is that the whole purpose of the entire book? Yeah. So basically, before the season starts, everyone is sort of trained through survivors.

school where they're basically taught of the Fiji and flora and fauna around them like what is edible what is not and what creatures they should or should not stay away from and so that is available at every base camp so the players can refer to it especially early on if they're like

oh I found this leaf you know we see this episode right like they dig into what looks to be like some unripe breadfruit that who would have thought we'd have one third of this tribe gagging in the course of three episodes but here we go Alex joining the club alongside Nicole so Alex just went back to that and yeah

I never thought in my life you know if you told me hey there's a version of Survivor that has a three ring binder show up as a prominent prop I'd be like great tell me more about Survivor Michigan what's going on this season yeah and and it's in the survivor font also by the way like not just sometimes yeah is it really oh that's amazing you have to be on brand like they could sell those I would buy one of those

I would just be very curious to see what's in the book I mean, yeah, do you think like it would just be like a field guide in general? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, like a, so, yeah, field guide to Fiji. Yeah, yeah, but why would you need the field guide to Fiji? To learn. I love to learn.

Well, that's the thing is that I feel like, Leanna, you're more so saying if something's written in the survivor font, it feels cool. It feels official. It does. It does. It feels legit. I, uh, yeah, the survivor font makes everything better. So I would take the sorry for you font as well because I feel like that's slightly different.

I mean, what I would say then is like you're some sort of like legal counsel or some sort of government body at this point. Like this is how you serve warrants, right? Like type it on the survivor font like put it in treemail. Right. Someone will be like, ooh, this is exciting. What do they have for me today? Oh no, I've been served. Great.

I have to show up in court. Sorry for you. That's what I was literally thinking of. It's like, this is how someone gets served divorce papers. Sorry for you. One of the hardest parts of getting older is feeling like something's off in your body, but not knowing exactly what. It's not just aging.

when he was like, hold on, wait, I wrote it down. He said something that was like, oh, I'd like to remain optimistic, but that'd be foolish. That's so mean, Jeff. They just lost Jake. They're about to lose again.

A man almost died. Yeah, exactly. They're so sad. Did you see like Sophie? Sophie his face was just like, just like gone. She was just not having it. And Jeff's roasting them because he can.

Yeah, that was, it was interesting that Jeff's like, nope, we've all got a job to do, including me. I will not go easy on you. like the game hasn't, which. Exactly. Again, you know, now as we sort of segue into maybe talking about the Jeremiah of it all, I mean, again, listen, do I like the fact that we had to do with three-person tribal council because the circumstances and maybe formation of this group led to these abject circumstances? Absolutely. As Sophie said, this was not fun to watch. Period. I will dispute the one part of the remark that she said. That all being said, this wasn't

interesting dynamic. You know, we never get three-person tribal councils. You know, I can really count outside of like, you know, the final three vote in the end game. I can think of like, Oolong did it. You know, Matt Singh did it. We had O'A do it in season 41. There's not a lot of other opportunities.

And so there was this kind of exciting moment where you're like, oh, this could theoretically be a one-one, which is maybe what Sophie was trying to do with the vote that she threw. So there was some interesting action going on. Again, maybe it speaks to the just wildly varying tones we had in this episode that, again, here is a guy who we tended to and tried to make sure that he did not, you know, shake off this mortal coil in this very episode, only to shake that off and be like, okay, but here's Sophie hiding in the bushes, snooping on what's going on. She's going to turn on her number one ally. Yeah, I go ahead, Puyah. yeah i so i feel like the intrigue for me was that jeremiah and sophy seemed to be working together and this jake leaving kind of did open the door for a very interesting two to go into the to the further

game but then alex has the idol and i think that is what further made it interesting to me because i as you know a big member of team sophy was bricking it was very nervous at the prospect of a final three where Alex has also vocalized not wanting to work with Sophie like that only to also have an idol and probably the decision here of what to do. So getting to see someone navigate from the direction of, okay,

my number one ally here doesn't have an idol. The one I want to leave does have an idol. I have no idol. How do I get out of this? And I think this person might come from me. How do I get out of this? So that way made it intriguing for me. But I mean, I think the number one most intriguing thing would have been if there were no idols, how that would have panned out.

But I do think it would have been a lot more 2-1 than 1-1-1, which, you know, we don't get, we don't have a lot of results out there that we don't know what would happen in the event of those. Because I really thought, are we going to have like a three-way fire making? Is that what's going to happen here? Yeah, I was thinking about that too, because I was trying to think. So to me, I think having the idol actually made it more interesting because I think if, if you don't have the idol, Alex just goes, right? Or plays a shot in the dark potentially if he feels like he's on the aisle. between those two. So I think that that is a more foregone outcome, whereas here it was like, okay, is he going to play the idol? Yes or no? If he does play the idol, then you sort of have

this prisoner's dilemma where, you know, if you're Sophie and Jeremiah, although we saw it more from Sophie's perspective, like are you, do you take the risk? Do you take the risk or do you play conservatively to try to keep yourself safe? Meanwhile, I'm on the plane trying to be like, okay, how do you do a one-one vote in order to do a tie? So then that way, because I would guess if, so if Alex voted for Sophie, Sophie voted for Jeremiah and Jeremiah

voted for Alex, right? So that's one-one-one. If Alex plays his idol, then he is the sole vote to evict. Yes, I think that it turns into, you know, a typical final three scenario from the final two season where it's like, okay, he's the only one safe.

Jeremiah and Sophie would have to vote for each other, so you're the tiebreaker. Exactly. Okay. So then that's that case. But if he doesn't, if he doesn't play the idol and you've got a one-one-one, what happens? I would imagine that there would be a re-vote, I think.

Like, I think if we had a revote at that episode three and Survivor 48, right, where there was a tie there. Like, I think there would be one. And if it's still one-one, then it would be like a, okay, you have one last opportunity to talk about it. And if you can't, if one person doesn't, doesn't swap their vote over, then it's a three-way rock draw. I think that would probably be Occam's Ranger.

Three-way firemaking would be very fun just because then, like, does the first place finisher then, like, go over and help the second place person, you know, to be like, all right, you got to beat this person. Let's box them out. Yeah. And then people get mad about it because you can't help in challenges. But I was thinking I was like, well, if you could do, if you could orchestrate a tied vote, like part of me was like, Sophie, maybe you should play your shot in the dark and you have a

one-one. tie? Because that way Jeremiah goes or Alex doesn't play his idol and then you can vote him out. I don't know. We were trying to do scenarios. So I just, I was thinking

of this just scenario in my head of Sophie uses the shot in the dark. Alex uses his idol. Sophie doesn't vote. Alex votes Sophie and then Jeremiah votes Alex. Then we have no votes. Then what happens? Wait, because Sophie

So if he can't vote, she gave up her vote for shot in the dark, right? Yeah, that's right. And the two people who voted for each other, those votes got nullified because they, neither votes counted. But then by that logic, is it just Alex gets to vote? Yeah, because he still has a vote at that point. Because remember, like, again, we go back to that tie scenario in season 48. Mary couldn't vote because in using her shot in the dark, she basically gave up her right to

vote at any point in that tribal council. bro that tribal council was crazy i'm just remembering that now cedric lives rent free in my head that man bring that man on every season i want him back in the returning season with jake just imagine them as like the captain of tribes like oh my god we either get the mad doctor or the shoe bandit who do we pick exactly um but i did i the the fact that it was i i'm happy that you mention that point that he was the shoe banded and he got bit on the foot that's pretty funny. I'm sorry, that's, that's pretty funny. I do wonder, like, is there something in the editor's

minds that felt like they had to keep that in for that reason, right? Because otherwise, like, this is something that would ordinarily maybe be relegated to a secret scene. Maybe one of the reasons why this came so far out of nowhere, except for, as you mentioned, Leon of the preview is like, Jake probably, I don't know if I'm in checking professional charts, Jake probably has been getting the most

air time out of anyone on Kella up to that point. So, on paper, it is pretty wild that dude got I would say Ned Stark, but maybe it's more appropriate to say red vipered out of the game here oh my gosh yeah I'm trying to find the confessional chart for this season

I mean I'm sure he got a lot but I feel like Sophie and Alex Alex has had more oh yeah because Alex also Alex found the idol Alex had Alex has a lot of the the exposition stuff right like he did the face off against Rizzo so maybe just through pure narration

Alex thought the most maybe we got the most personal content from Jake just because again he had two pretty big secrets that he pretty much revealed right off the bat. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, he really did.

It was like what in Matt chat when he did about, oh no, he did the other one on the island. He did his- one was the one that about his dad, right? Maybe. Did Jake have a premonition that he knew he'd only last like

two and a half episodes. He's like, got to get in my storyline out now. He was like, you're welcome producers. I'm, he's the producer. He knew what to do.

I love that. Yeah, I'm looking. Okay, I pulled up the confessional chart now. And so in terms of like total confessional time, it is Alex that that is leading. Then actually it's Sophie now after episode three. Obviously, Jake didn't get a ton in his own boot episode,

considering he was, you know, Medivac. Oh, the other funny thing about the Medivac that was when Jeff was like, you know, your tribe mates, Alex, Sophie, and Jeremiah. And I was like, why are you, he knows who's on his tribe. I'm trying to really approach things with a soft hand because I don't think he knows how mentally adult this man is at this point. Like obviously I don't think he was hopped up

on any sort of like tranquilizers at that point. But like for all he knows, he's up on the goof juice being like, Jake, my name is Jeff Probst. You're on a show called Survivor right now. Let me tell you what happened. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, he's, I mean, you know, obviously.

And I think the other thing too that that I'm happy that was mentioned in the episode was the fact that they have been starving and not sleeping. Right. So you have all of this undue stress already on the body. So to then go through something really traumatic, obviously is going to have a big impact. But yeah. Oh, and then from the immunity challenge.

So I'm looking through my notes of the weird things I noticed. Yes. So Alex's slow-mo jump into the water. Was that a big hit in the theater? Because it was a big hit on the plane because it's like so slow. And he's just like, as he like jumps into the water. He makes the weirdest face. It was just, it was hilarious.

I don't know why they did it, but it was perfect. Again, I mean, they need to pad the episode out. But yeah, I do love that as well that nobody looks good in slow-mo. Very few do, I should say, to, I don't want to put everyone necessarily in a bucket. And, yeah, poor Alex fighting for his life here. And if he got voted out with an idol in his pocket, maybe even the more even embarrassing thing was that the Gip he would remember him by is him slowly jutting his jaw around as he jumped off a 10-foot high platform.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And it was hilarious, though, for so many members of the other tribes to sit out. Like, yeah, it was wild to watch. The people who sat out could have formed their own tribe. Six people sat out of that challenge. Yeah, yeah. So obviously they were forced to do a swap, right? Like, they would not have wanted to do this, I would imagine.

Or do you think that this was something that they were going to planning on doing anyway? And it just so happened that maybe they moved it up. I'm... We lost four? Do we know? I'm... Yeah. I'm going to hold my tongue until we find out if we're swapping to two tribes or not, because that might move things one way or the other. Maybe they thought they were going to do a swap, but maybe we're going to swap to three tribes instead of two, but because it's 14 instead of 15, now it's like, okay, we can't do five, five, five.

So now we go to two tribes of seven. I'm not entirely sure. I mean, I would hope so. I hope they are starting to shake it up more and not just have it be. we've talked before about how we felt like between 45 and 48 like okay this is the break glass in case of emergency thing Jeff I think still insists like no I have a whiteboard in my you know in our office of how we map everything out

but this listen if it was unprompted it certainly was prompted now to say okay we have to swap things up considering that we cannot have a two person tribe want to challenge in episode four mathematically how do we how does this not two tribes of I mean, I guess you could do like a 5-5-4 and then just have one person sit out from, I don't know, red and blue as an example. Yeah. I don't know. I think it would be silly because, again, I don't know why we would need to keep that three tribe vibe.

And I think two tribes of seven is interesting. I think also the fact that if this happens, the other two-thirds of the cast that have not been to tribal council in the first week will actually get to vote. And that is really interesting. why deprive us that opportunity by giving like another six or seven people hey you don't need to vote until the merge at this point you can keep living your relaxing vacation watch out for a secret so I really hope

it's two tribes of seven if anything even just to say hey we're doing something different it is unbelievable to say that something different is two tribes but hey this is a show where people are jonesing for Applebee's talk about any port in a storm just to highlight some of the other players because obviously we spent so much time

with blue but I'm looking at the confessional chart and I noted this because all of a sudden Jason started getting confessions which does make me a little bit nervous for him going into the swap because it was like Jason didn't exist and now all of a sudden he's got a bunch of confessions we're told how good he is at puzzles

regardless so Christina Sophie not Sophie but Sophie and Matt all had zero confessional time in this episode. So that's half. That's half. That's crazy.

And I mean, I guess technically Stephen got 16 seconds of confessional time. So it's not like we're talking a lot. But at the same time, MC only got the confessionals probably because of the Beware advantage, which, oh yeah, what it's going to happen with that? Like, if they go to merge and their tribe hasn't lost yet,

like let's say whatever, whomever MC swaps to, what happens? Will she get her vote back? This happened in 46, remember, with 100. Yes. Where basically he was told, like, that morning, like, okay, you have to, like, we unlock the thing for you. Now you just have to get this task done before.

So it still has a little bit of a timeline to it where you had to get it done before they left or everyone came to the merge beach. So I'm assuming that would happen. I mean, I did love MC. Listen, talk about it anymore to store. I'm like, well, got to hide it somewhere. Might as well stick this mysteriously wet burlap piece of safety in my unmentionables. When she was like, I don't know what liquid this is.

I got confused for a brief moment about whether or not it was already wet or there was another. Because I didn't, I didn't 100% understand exactly what was happening. But, you know, I've always, I mean, you got a pocket to hide things you might as well just do your best so but it was funny that that was the regret in retrospect

it's like if you could go back and change one thing about your survivor experience or should be like I would wear pants when looking for the beware advantage yeah though I guess does that make things more suspicious right like the bag of your clothes you wear the more people are like

oh you're really if you find something you're not going to let us know about it right like arguably you want to be as open as you can he'd be like, listen, I got nothing to hide. Though I do think it's ironic, would Matt the airport worker have gone full TSA on MC if he was with her and be like, all right, ma'am, if you could step through right here. We're going to pat you down. He's going to get to put him on one of those things or you put your arms up and it does the

spinning thing at the airport. Yeah, that would have been very funny. The, I think though, I mean, obviously it was interesting seeing them search for it. But I preferred Oolie's search mainly because Nate was just like, we are. are very bad at this. Like when we like we, he was like I'm bad and my tribe is equally terrible. Nate is becoming one of my favorite confessional givers and I'm actually really sad that we haven't had more air time because it's, it all started with vibes last week.

It all started with those last week confessions and then this one also. I mean, it makes sense. He's a guy in entertainment. Of course he's going to be entertaining. He knows what makes good cinema. Um, but, uh, it's very enjoyable to watch as a viewer. I agree because he's also a. again, like so down to earth, this is not necessarily like the big over-the-top

confessuals you might get like, look, I'm bad to look at it and my tribe is even worse. Like he just has such like a nice, very genteel way of saying things that almost makes it even funnier. Like, it's not exactly dry, but it's not as wet as MC's idol. Yeah, exactly. What's the deal with searching for idols? Well, let's ask what the deal was with our thoughts. on these two Canadian gentlemen

in the preseason, Leanna. It's time for a double edition of our preseason predictions. Let's start with Jake himself. I was going to say Jake the snake that feels very inappropriate now. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Well, listen, you have worked miracles

with these things. I would not be, I'd be like 97% shock, Leona. If you said Jake got medevac from getting bit by a snake, because you are that good, especially in comparison to myself. But let us open it up and see how dry the bite you take out of Jake is. I'll tell you,

there's one, there's like, now knowing what happens to him, there's an alliance I would have named differently, but here we are. So I had Jake making the jury. Surprise, surprise.

I said, Jake took on a natural leadership role at Keeley, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, you tell me every week. Keller. Okay, creating a tight duo with Sophie, the sibling alliance. Things were as smooth as it could be for Jake on the disaster tribe in pre-jury,

but come merge, Jake's leadership style did not mesh with the members of the other two tribes. They humor him and let him think he's running the show, but he's only a strip dancing puppet masking the real axis of power in Sav, Sage, and Sophie, which now I want to call them the Snake Alliance. So I will pose Prediction refer to them that way Eventually their patience runs thin And they send Jake to the jury in a near

unanimous vote Jake wins zero individual immunities And complains about the challenges each week I said that his ally was Sophie Little Sis and his enemy was the S-axis is what I called them Of Sab's What you said X? Why did you not do Axis?

Yeah, exactly S-axis, but we'll call them the snake alliance. So his enemy was the snake ladies. Okay. Well, I will say, and I'll admit I surprised myself because I did not remember writing this. I needed Jeff to maybe guide me out being like, Mike, it's me, Jeff. You said that Jake was going to be voted out in the pre-jury on Survivor 49. So let's see what I had to say.

Jake starts off strong, both physically and emotional. He clocks him with Sophie B from the jump to form a final two And when he saw that smile, that damn smile on Alex He knew there were 13 reasons why he wanted him You've predicted the bromance He wanted him as an alliance as well Yeah maybe not dude why did you make the 13 reasons why right That makes sense

I have several headed sighted to ask me Mike Bloom As the early days go on Jake begins to struggle Feeling the weight of what's going on back home he chooses to open up to his tribe about his wife's pregnancy prompting simultaneous reactions of What a man and what a man

I did write the way to deliver this in the parentheses so I tried the best of my ability here It worked Thank you true to his love of Sam Phelan Jake is the glue guy between Sophie and Alex being the arbiter of the fates of many Akella as they keep

going back to tribal council When the merge hits Jake is rallying the flag for him of Sophie and Alex to get into enemy territory and set up a power play. But he unfortunately comes up against the assumptions made about him preseason. With his self-proclaimed douchebag look, Jake is perceived as the one

who led the charge on his old tribe. Between this perception, his strength and challenges and at least one heartwarming story that was made public, it was enough to strip him of any chance of the title of Soul Survivor. His ally was Sophie and Alex and his enemy was the preseason.

Oh, okay, so merge but pre-jury. Yeah, specifically, I think I wrote that he was like the mergatory boot that like he gets left on safe and they're all like, there's no one to vouch for you, Jake, and you have too many good things going for you, I suppose, to keep you in the game any longer. Okay, that makes sense. Well, that was weird. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was going to say, I like you saying that makes sense when I'm the one that gets to sign a point here.

The thing is the S axis was very fun. But, like, Mike nailed it. Yeah. So despite that wild 13 reasons, why reference in there, Mike gets the first point of the evening. All right. Well, Leanna, you get some redemption here before we put it in the deep freeze. As we talk about Jeremiah, the Taurus.

Let's see if we're able to. The Everest climber. The Everest climber himself. He did say, actually. then now he is going to Nepal and he's like now that I tried that line the first time I actually have to like send my friends my itinerary to show that it's

not a cover for going on a reality show to like Proofy is actually going to Nepal. That's so funny. I mean that's the problem is that I feel like if you do this no one is going to trust you in your life ever again. Concerning that he told except for his father every single person this line

how could you ever trust him? No, that's so funny. I love that for him. So I had Jeremiah going pre-merge, pre-jury. I said with his bubbly personality and infectious laugh, Jeremy, Jeremiah, who's Jeremy, tries to be Kella Tribe's mascot, but it's tougher to keep that flame lit when, fittingly, they have no fire. Jeremiah calls his shot from the pregame.

He's feeling far from blue when he sees Sophie B's blue fingernails on his beach and immediately locks in with her. As Jeremiah prepared himself mentally for being on a disaster tribe, he's shown as the one most likely to shake things up as the first couple of routine votes play out. Specifically, after seeing how close Sophie is with Jake, he debates trying to make a move to cut him so he can get closer to her.

When Kelly gets down to four, Jeremiah sees the writing on the wall. He goes on a journey where he loses his vote, but chooses to lie that he has an advantage. Unfortunately, his father's advice to talk to the trees so he wouldn't talk to people prove prophetic. Jeremiah reveals he has no vote to Jake so that he can make a move and take out Alex. Not happy with his deception, the fellow Canadian is so turned off that he turns on him.

When it came to Survivor's School, the legally blonde fan graduated without honors, without a girlfriend, and without any job offers. Oh my God. Is this a roast? His closest ally was Sophie and his enemy was Jake. Between the legally blonde reference. of the 13 reasons why. At least a legally blonde one makes sense. Okay, all right. Very interesting.

So I too had Jeremiah going pre-jury. I said that Jeremiah became our go-to confessionalist for his quick wit and memorable laugh. While he connected with the audience, Jeremiah failed to connect with Jake who dictated the majority of the votes

pre-jury. After the jaw, Jeremy or Jeremiah Alex Now I'm saying Jeremy Who's Jeremy? Jeremiah Alex and Annie Alliance ate one of their own. Jake pulled Alex into the sibling alliance

New Brother alert leaving Jeremiah as an only child at I get the same thing and that's how I was supposed to say it. At tribal Jeremiah takes the long hike back to Ponderosa with no Sherpa in sight.

His ally was Jha and his enemy was Jake. Lehanna. What? You let Mike get two points on you tonight. How dare you?

This is like getting a secret bite. This never happens. I know. This never happens. You don't like the Jaw Alliance? I asked all the podcasters around me. Have you ever experienced Mike getting two points? And they said they never did.

It is literally never happened. They had to, we're going to have to ask Australia. all right fine fine mike can have it whatever he saw what a disaster they were that's true yeah but this deep no not this deep yeah i know you know he talks to them yeah and a handicap i need a handicap if i if you gave me a handicap would you give me a point if i get what if giving your head implies that you need to be nerfed you mean mike needs to be nerfed. Yeah, whatever, how that works.

I don't know how that works. I don't know how that works. Like, handicap in golf, right, means like you are giving you are giving yourself. Oh, true. But I do feel like sometimes when you say you're handicapping someone, it means like, oh, you're giving them additional sort of things to work against. Like, I want to, I need you to give me like

five points to start with. And that is ridiculous. Okay. Fine. Maybe, just maybe, there is a week where, let's say, for example, now we don't know the rest of your seasons, results, right? So let's say

the sage boot happens and you're like, I nailed this. You can, before the both of you read your predictions, you can say you're putting down a double point for yours. Oh, I like that. I love this advantage. Yeah. Yes, this is my

advantage. Do I have to risk a vote in order to get it? No, I feel like the risk is just you raw dogging it next week. And then I'm going to steal, I get to steal a I'm going to steal one of Mike's. Oh, I love this idea. Yeah, where it's like, okay, now you get to read both predictions.

You can block, yeah, you can block one of Mike's predictions one week. Oh, okay. Can we do a power of Vita where we each get the power for one week to be like, you can't, you can't do anything. You can't read a prediction anymore. Yeah, I love that. You know what? Yeah, this era, we've done this for nearly 10 years.

It's finally time we shake things up. We need to see ourselves at our toes. It's time to new era of the predictions. Yeah, exactly. I look, I, I, I'd go on a journey. I'd go on a journey, okay? So I'm down. I'm down to risk my prediction.

All right. Well, I have a very interesting game, an experimental game, perhaps on the note of the new era to get in with the two of you today. Now, I really, in these past few days, but the extra time I had was really oscillating between two separate ideas based on,

specifically the incredibly traumatic event from this episode. which I will continue to say. I was really going back and forth between a game called Whose Toes Are Those Where I show you a picture of someone's foot From Survivor

and you have to guess who it is And then I went But then I also was thinking about a game called Name That Snake Where I would find a weird snake And you have to figure out What the title of the species is Okay

I want to look at feet Well, I figured we had a double boot. How about double the games? Oh my God. Why not both? We're doing both. We're going to go back and forth here.

Oh my God. That's funny. Either a foot or a snake, which could have been a third game, snake or foot. Snake or a foot. My favorite kind of game. It's, you know, people are always talking about cake or not, right?

But no, snake or foot, way better. All right. So how do you want to do this, the two of you? Do you want to work against each other or would you prefer to talk it out together? Well, I think since they're going to alternate, I think we should do it together. Okay. Because I would say the other answer, the alternative or it would be that you both write down your answer separately for each question. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

Okay. Because I was like, am I always going to do feet? Because that would be weird. Well, what do you want to do? Well, in order for you not to taste defeat a third time, I feel like I'm okay to do. it as a team if you want what if you would do it as a team because if we do it as a team if but if we do it as a team just know you're going to have to hard carry on the snakes maybe okay sure but can you hard carry on the feet well I don't know we'll find out I guess it's a nipple king we don't know

yeah if Chappelle was here he would but I'm not Chappelle so who knows okay gotcha got and I will listen uh I guess you know warnings in advance for anyone who is afraid of snakes or anyone who again oh my god it might not be that thing I actually just got a DM from Johnny Bananas. He was listening to the podcast and now wants to come on next week when he heard about this game. So we'll pencil that in for a later date. It's a joke. It's a joke.

Okay, so let's get into this game and see if you will be defeated in the end. Let's start with this first foot. Now, I'm not going to leave you completely in the dark here.

I pick pictures that are going to provide some context clues, and I am going to provide you with three options. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Because, yeah.

So here is your first set of feet. Oh, that's Sierra Don Thomas. I mean, I'll just give it to you. I mean, that was, yeah, right off the bat. Tell me what gave it away. The presence of Trojan and then the jeans. Oh, see, I thought maybe you would have recognized she, like, remember that she had that little heart tattoo on her foot.

Because that would have been like a very recognizable thing. Tattoo? Yeah, no. It's all about the genes. Yeah, I wanted to, again, show the full scope of the challenge to be like, okay, it's crazy. It's game changers. But no, Puyah, listen, you talk down your foot identifying efforts,

but so far you have a clean record. Maybe I should have thrown a little bit. Yeah, maybe I should have waited like five seconds. No, no, it was an immediate blurt. You were like, immediately blurted out. In my defense, I could see, like, you know how we're in the stream yard? I could see the little preview in the bottom. So I could identify Trojan.

They gave me a couple extra seconds in that regard. All right. Well, so far, one for one. Let's see if this continues as we move into our first snake. Now, I'd be incredibly intrigued if you know this. Oh, my God. We'll have the two of you work together here. This is your first snake.

And I'll throw these all up online. want to view them if you're listening to the audio version go to bit.ly slash why the hell not foot or snake let's make this game happen but dot l y slash foot or snake uh so this is a snake i'm going to give you three possible names of this snake wait is this name going to be like the type of snake or is this like someone's pet snake they've named i'm not going to give you the name of the person this is charlie yeah giving it's giving percy all right so this snake percy is either a sea lion snake okay an elephant trunk snake or a sleeping bag snake okay what do you think look at it okay it's not a sea lion snake to me it has elephant trunk

like energy ish yeah but then I could also see it like could it be B, am I stupid? Does it not look like it's sitting on a tent? It could be a sleeping bag snake. I think the elephant one makes it. That's what I was gravitating towards. I'm fine with that if it means I don't got to look at the snake no more. Okay.

We would rather look at feet. So we're going to go with B elephant. Elephant trunk snake. I will take away the image. And congratulations because that was correct. It was an elephant trunk snake named because skin is very ring. and gray much like an elephant trunk and I'm sure much like an elephant proper

that is an image that you will never forget any time soon all right let's move in to foot number two we this time wait a little bit before you yell out I'm not looking at the preview so I'm going to like not have extra time all right

whose feet are these are these the feet of Andrea Belke Ashley Underwood or Natalie Tenorelli Mike technical question for you

please were these on like a website preloaded that you took on or did you go through footage to find feet great question no I really like to thank the hardworking people on the website WikiFeed

who put in the yeoman's work to again this game is not to yuck anyone's yum but they have gone through and collated some rather invigorating shots of people's tutsies. And granted, I don't know if they knew they'd be used for this game proper, but hey, waste not one knot.

I feel like they'd be okay with it. Can you read what that says on the side, Puya? I tried. I really can't. There's the letter, I want to say it's the letter P in between the two poles there. But I can't be sure. And then there's an A at the end. See, okay, my gut, when you read the options was Nat 10,

but I don't know if that like that was just a gut reading. I don't know if that's actually accurate. Remind me which season is Ashley Underwood from. Wait, what do you mean? Oh, like 30 something, right? What season was she on?

I don't remember. Leona didn't expect to be tested on her survivor knowledge in a feat competition. Yeah, exactly. Redemption Island. Okay. Redemption Island. she's from redemption island yeah okay so then they're all from redemption island so yeah yeah okay that's interesting you know i feel like i think i'm gonna i'm gonna go with nat 10 also

okay natalie tennarelli yeah is your final answer and unfortunately the amount of points you got from this question of the same amount of votes she got at final tribal council which is zero. That is incorrect. It is Andrea Belke. Maybe standing alongside Sarah Don Thomas in that first image, but these are her feet on Survivor Redemption Island. I didn't think that that was her bathing suit.

That's what I was trying to go off of because no offense to their feet. That's exactly what broke it for me as well. Yeah. Okay. All right. That's fine. That's fine. You know what?

You win some, you lose some. Okay. We're not fazed, right, Pua. Yes. We are not. Well,

this image might phase, because we have a snake coming up. up. Here is snake number two. Oh, look at him. All right. Are those antenna or teeth? What a great question, because this is something that is referenced in this snake's name. Is this the two-prong snake, the catfish snake, or the tentacle snake?

I think it's one of the first two. it's yeah i think it's the i think it's the second one what was the second one it is the two-pronged snake the catfish snake or the tentacle snake i think it's the catfish snake um the two-pronged snake just sounds like something i'll never google first of all but then secondly could be fraudulent i think okay sure sure we'll go with the catfish snake you got catfish by the catfish snake that is incorrect how foolish you were to dismiss

the tentacle snake right off the bat that's the name of the snake it's the tentacle snake no way no way yeah because I think there are maybe this sort of appendages coming out from it are meant to be tentacles it's like alien

I thought it's because that snake is funny tentacles I cannot wait for the people who will take out their AirPods during that five second pause to be like the podcast stop, is it broken? Did I pause accidentally? So thank you for that.

Again, very incredible once in a lifetime moment. All right. Yes. Okay. Foot number three. And I will, you don't need to go to Survivor Wikipedia for this one. And I will start revealing who the season is from because they all sort of have a them

them to them for each one of these questions. So these are the feet of a contestant from Survivor Borneo. 50 million people watch this feat over the course of the summer of 2000. But whose toes are those? Is it Colleen Haskells? Is it Jenna Lewis or is it Kelly Wigglesworth? I'm happy you specified. I was going to think Marquesis at first because of all the bites.

No nose. No nose. Arpuya, what do you think? Who would wear an anklet of those three? What were the actually? Jenna was one of them? Jenna, Colleen, and Kelly. Doesn't Jenna give inklet vibes?

Yes, but so does Kelly. Yeah, okay. That's fair. I'm also trying to pay attention to the fingees. The fingees. Oh, like the up top, not the. yeah okay hmm I'm not gonna lie that ain't gonna do much for me like I'm not gonna be able to solve the puzzle that way so if you have any insight I'll take it my gut was Jenna but just because of inklet vibes and you know what your gut is right half of the time so let's go with Jenna all right you have locked in Jenna Lewis and while we were we'll see her on Survivor 50 we will not be seeing her feet in this picture.

This was the feat of Kelly Wigglesworth. Sorry. You should have listened to you. These are 39 day feet at this point. These 26-8 contests, they don't know what 39-day feet look like. Imagine what Dee's toe would have looked like if she had gone the full 39 days.

I was thinking about D's foot, but I think it was tough to come up with not D answers, right? To be like, is it D? And you're just, like, you're going to stop me right there and say, no, it's D. Like, you would have been to D what Puyah was to Sierra Don Thomas. Yeah, exactly. That big toe is going to not go fool anybody.

All right. Well, let's see if I can fool you. You hit a little bit of a cold streak right now. But hey, listen, so I got time to make it up with this next snake. Oh, look how cute. So is this little cutie called a dragon snake? a stegosaurus snake or a hydra snake all right

I'd hate to have us have a tentacle issue again but I don't think it's the stegosaurus snake it has scaly dragon-esque skin and I say this as someone who's watched the Game of Thrones properties it does have that kind of skin but hydra also could match that energy and this looks like the location

looks like there would be a hydra there and that might just be the lost in me speaking so that's kind of where I'm at with these two options but what do you think okay my gut was dragon but I think we trusted my gut last time and that went poorly so let's do hydra we are going to go with dragon

we're locking in dragon hydra no dragon okay I need an answer dragon whichever one's right is our answer the only Ultimate Hedge that I will give to you because, again, we'll warm up the cold streak a little bit.

It was Dragon. It was the Dragon Snake. Yay! We did it. And this is like going full toothless right now. I did it. You wanted to go with Hydra. Because I was trying to support you. No, but I supported me.

I believe in you. Yes. Okay. Great. We're back on the board, baby. All right. Well, for the second half of this game, we will go back to back with the snakes here. Oh.

As we get into our next one. Oh, it looks like a leaf. Oh, that's scary. That can hide in plain sight. All right. Well, is this Mike Gabler of snake? A needle nose snake, a leaf nose snake, or a Pinocchio snake. Was the second one a leaf nose?

Leaf-nosed snake. Okay. What's your gut telling you? Because my gut's saying it's A only. what was a the needle nose needle nose yeah see i said it looked like a leaf which means that if mike could come up with a fake name it would be leaf because that's what it looks like but also that's what it looks like so that's what they could have damed it but you know what snakes famously don't have is

noses do snakes have noses no noes no no no no no no no Okay, what did you say, Puyah? I said the needle no, no, I said the, uh, what was the first one? It was needle nose, leaf-nosed Pinocchio. Oh, so they both have noses anyway. My argument collapses on itself when I'm picking one that has nose in it also. So first of all, I would like to air how terrifying it is to find out that snakes can look like this and hide.

So that's not going to help. Why is it hiding? No one said it's hiding. It looks like a tree branch. It looks fraudulent. Oh, that should have been a name I came up with branch snake. Yeah. If not for the eye that is so clearly HD in this, I would not have been able to tell.

Okay. So you want to go needle nose. If you would allow me to. Sure. I allow you. Well, you were sniffing around the right answer, but it was the wrong. wrong answer, it was the leaf nose snake. God damn it.

Gotta back your gut sometimes, Leanna. I know. When you said it looks like a leaf when I tell you the sweat I sweat. It does. It looks like a leaf. That's the whole point that the head looks like a leaf and Tupuya's fright. It does

mask itself for that reason. Wild. Also, you never said this, but I'm assuming these are not all available in Fiji. No, these are all around the world, so good luck traveling folks. Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right. I'm hiding in plain sight.

Luckily, we're getting back to the safe haven of foot. Oh, thank God. The Shangri-La of arches and heels. Okay. Here is your next foot. Whose toes are those? Are these Danielle DeLorenzo's?

Are these Amanda Kimmel's? Or are these Harbitty shallows? this is the parvety emote um of standing while not while only having one half of your foot on the thing this is her oral farming or not she's good off to the side because that's her left foot on the thing yeah it's when she doesn't she do the thing where she like steps on the side and holds on like yeah she's just hugging it like a little sidebase hug yeah but like i don't think this is her also look at the toe the the big thumb toe it has a little like red on it that's toenail polish

yeah but only the toe has it does that give us any clue yeah what's survivor player is notorious for only painting their big toe so like having the one earring yeah okay who are our options parve daniel de lorenzo and Amanda yeah anybody else do that during the challenge? I feel like you at least tried it. And then we're like, nah, this is just for stretching. I'm going back

into formation. Because look at the specific, because here's my argument that it's not part. If it was part, wouldn't there be a better version of it than this elapsed time screenshot? Right? Like, because there was more of that moment.

But also arguably Yeah, same. But arguably then. Do you remember she was on the green one? Oh my God, I have no memory of my head. And this might be wild. I feel like she was on like a purple one. Okay.

So if it's not part, then who do you think it is? I don't know why. I think Amanda would have been on a green, the green one. But of the three, this is not Amanda's foot the most, I think. So I'm because, okay, let's lock in Amanda. Let's lock in Amanda. Okay. I don't know.

I'm trying to like really think about this. Okay. You know, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. All right. We're locking in Amanda. Do you? Because you called me a weirdo.

Yes. And I stand by that. But I also appreciate it. You knew that was a leaf-nose snake. Who's the weirdo in this house now? All I said was it looks like a leaf. I am so happy about this because y'all were doing the mental calculus for one plus one. The answer is parveny.

We had it. Yeah. She was the only one who stood like that. Yes, it was. She was the only one that took the... It looked like a cutscene. Like, someone could have stretched in a cutscene. Like, that wasn't like parallel anyway. I love it.

Oh, I love it. I'm going to get roasted in the comments over that one. Okay. Let's bring in our next snake here. Give me just one second. I got to just judge it up a little bit. There we go. We're judging.

Uh-huh. Oh, well, this is actually very, this might be my favorite snake. This is a very pretty snake. Aw. Here is your next snake. I hope it's a secret. I know what that looks like. Oh, he is pointy.

Pointy boy. A hedge snake. A very pointy snake. So is this snake the fuzzy tree viper, the feathered sea viper, or the hairy bush viper? Nope. Is that the name? of a snake it's

I you know I sometimes you forget you're on a pod and that laugh was very much I'm not on a pot laugh okay I like the viper one they're all viper one was one I thought of too

but then I think the the feathered sea snake was a sea was it feathered water sea what was it? No it is they're all vipers just to clarify it's fuzzy tree viper feathered sea viper

hairy bush viper so I like feathered sea Eliana, because it looks wet. But it doesn't look like a snake that goes in the ocean. So I don't think it would be called a sea. It looks like it's in a tree. I think the first one makes the most sense. In the event, this is the hairy bush snake, viper.

We will have conversations to have after this. Right after this, I mean, right after Mike reveals, not like off the pod. Because I'm never talking about snakes again. Well, I guess we're going with A. I guess I'm going to have to book some time on the pod for you talk it out. Harry Bush. It's the Harry Bush Viper.

I blame Omar for this somehow. How was he never brought this up? It's so cute though. Look at its little head. I'm not going to lie. This is the cutest of the snakes we see. Did I not?

I wasn't in Whistling Dixie here when I say HBV was my favorite. Let's go HV. Yeah, they need to They need more of these snakes On those B rolls of Survivor Although I guess if this isn't an infiG Then maybe they don't have any

But it's very cute All right Well unfortunately we have to say goodbye to HBV Which you should do as well To get your vaccines people All right Let's go to our final Set of Feet

Okay Folks Whose toes are those What is this from? Are these Jerry Manty's feet? Are these Amber Berkich Mariano's feet? Are these Elizabeth Hasselback's feet? Is this the view?

It's on ABC. It's the view on ABC? I'm pretty sure it's the view. We'll find out shortly. Okay, so all the names are you right now, yes. Yeah, they're from season two, right? And this lines up with, you know, Survivor was at its peak popularity, so they were doing talk shows and stuff.

And what are they admiring? Do you think it's like, look what happened on my foot on the island? Or is it a, check out the nail polish I did. Either way, you shouldn't be putting your feet on the table like that at a talk show. I think it's, it's not, okay, so wait, there was Jerry, Amber, who was the third? Elizabeth. I think it's Elizabeth. Is it?

It is. Elizabeth Hasselbeck This is her feet and yes You cracks my code Mr. Policeman This is on the view You could see Joy Behar Yes

That's Starr Jones In the Lakers jersey And for some Godforsaken reason on the show Elizabeth Hasselbeck pulled out her feet And honked them on the table For everyone to admire Okay

But it's interesting because they're not even paying attention to her feet They're reading that piece of paper Or least that's what it looks like Oh that's what you would do if you were in that situation. I think that's why you're mistaking that. Reading, staring at.

You're like data points? All right, never mind this foot here. Let me just lock in for a second. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Okay, I'm glad we ended on a high note. I mean, I am really intrigued by the circumstances of this though, right? Like, because is it like, is this post-survivor pre her hosting where it's like, let me show you how effed up my feet were from the experience?

Was it like, oh, I got a new mannequin and Behar is like, put him on. let's see it. Throw them up there. But it's also, it's not like she's showing her toes to the audience, right? Like,

they're still facing towards her. So yeah, this is an odd choice. But thank you, Wiki feet for having this. Those feet are way too close to that coffee cup. That's a great point.

I mean, I don't know if there's actually coffee in there, but if so, yeah, I'm, again, not to yuck anyone's yum.

I would be saying yuck to the, you know, dark roast. that was probably lying next to Elizabeth's feet during this particular shot. I do have one more snake for you. Let's close it out here.

But you did get all. All the feet have been expended. So we must end on a snake. And it is the most dangerous. Yeah, unfortunately. No, we started with Troy Zand. It would have been nice to close out with that. I would say bookend, but Eiffel Tower might be more appropriate.

But let's get into our final snake here. It is the most dangerous one. This is a venomous snake Not unlike the sea crate Ew The puffer snake Is this snake The spider-tailed viper

The pine-tailed viper Or The mace-tailed viper It does look like a pine cone What came first The mace or the mace-tailed viper You know what I mean? Is this the setup for a joke?

No, I just don't think it's like the Mace-tale. Yeah, exactly. I just want to make sure I get it this time. He looks like a pine cone. The tail looks more pine-cony than it does spidery. But even his scales look like a pine cone. Mike, can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer if it's part of the game.

Are you making fake names in the middle of these or are they all authentics? snake names. Nope. They are all made up names, except for the real one. Oh. I know. I've got made it up. See, they put this issue with the leaf snake, because I was like, it looks like a leaf and then it was like, does it look like a leaf? Yeah, but do you get

but does Mike let you get it like that twice? Where you're like, oh, that's clearly a pine cone. Well, it looks like a pine cone to me is what I'm saying. I feel like pine cone is right because I don't. I think maces were probably not

invented before the snake happened. And then the first one was what spider, that feels like a mic created one. So I'm fine to back you on this. All right, let's just go pine cone. We are going pine cone. Tis the season, right? Holidays are just around the corner. Now, I guess to showcase the answer of this, let me show you what this tale looks like in a very different setting.

Hold for tension. It's going to look like a spider. Judge this up as well. I don't even know what you're talking about. No, it looks like a pine cone. It will look like a pine cone, absolutely for sure. And it definitely will not look like a spider. Yep.

Okay. You know what, but doesn't he look like a pine cone? I did have to pick the least spider tail looking photo of the spider-tailed viper to be fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's a thing where like snakes will have their tail be the bait, right? And then like, so that that should have been our giveaway. That why would like, what goes? after pine cones that like the snake would want to emulate you know what i mean children looking to

make bird feeders yeah exactly he's like and he puts his own peanut butter on there just goes for it beware small children the bird feeder tails vipers come in for all your third grade craft project yeah it's gonna say yeah your first grade arts and crafts um uh it yeah looks like a spider fine, it's fine. Well, listen, regardless, you two made the grade here. This was a very difficult game, let alone one to play in two different areas. I would say you succeeded with a plumb here. Definitely no defeat today. So congratulations to the two of you. Puyah. I promise you at least firsthand. You will not need to see or think about another snake again for at least the next three months. And I do appreciate that. I will say those. Some of those snakes were easier to look at than other snakes as far as the hairy bush one. well what about the snakes though all right well to finish things off then we will keep we will keep the spotlight on the jokester himself because of course the end of the B&B we always want to give our guests

the opportunity to highlight a charity or cause that is important to them obviously this episode showed that there can be a very dire circumstances out there while we goof it up talking about the silly show so is there something that you would like to highlight for the listeners out there yeah i ended up um picking a charity that is a lot more overarching in one specific area and that is the american cancer society um you know what it being a breast cancer awareness month but also cancer holistically fuck cancer so yeah um i feel like this was a simple yet important decision for me

absolutely well thank you as always puya for coming on especially after it was a long weekend for us all i think we were all feeling as drained as kella by the end of it but such a fun time special shout out to anyone who you know came to the live show that got to talk with us they're always such incredible experiences to puya's point even when we're sitting through a very intriguing episode of Survivor it's it's you all that make this stuff so intriguing to talk about in the first place as you listen to our jibber jabberings but of course we want to listen to more jibber jabbings from the man himself puya there's plenty going on in your neck of the woods so what would you like to plug oh yeah well i feel like

let's go socials, then go podcast. So at Puyahism on all socials, Twitch.tv.com for when I'm not podcasting. With podcast right now, I just kicked off my celebrity Traders UK coverage with Annabelle. It was a very fun first two episodes. We talked all about that.

So make sure you check that out. Traders Canada is coming next week. So two seasons, UK and Canada combined back-to-back same month. I'll be there for both. So that's going to be fun as well. Be on the lookout for that. talking 90-day fiance

this week. We're catching up with the first six episodes of the other way since I decided to make the switch over from happily ever after because it turns out I was not happy in that place. So we're going to find happiness in the other way and see how that goes. And of course, myself and Leanna

every week talking and saying things on the... Wait, you know what? Yes, check out the point in Leona lunch. Mike, let me ask you this question. Okay. Could Leanna be... And Leana don't give anything away. do you think Leanna could make a good criminal? Okay.

Like, the answer would be to an extent. Like, I think Leanna would be very good at planning out the schematics of a crime. I don't know why my mind's automatically going to crime like a heist, right? Like, if there were things to play now, logistics, getaway cars, itineraries, synchronize your watches. I feel like that's Leanna. I think where things fall apart a bit. is if you were to get caught and you were to be put in some sort of interrogation

room, whether it be a good cop or a bad cop, you would cop to what you did. Just inevitably. Yep, I agree. Leanna should stay in the scheming and far away from the heist itself. But check out what Leanna thought about that answer

over on the lounge this past week. All right, Leanna, I'll give you the opportunity to speak on it. Anything you want to plug from the pal or otherwise? I just want to say that I believe in myself wholeheartedly and I support me. Okay. But no, definitely check out the pal. It was very, very fun.

We did, I tease it last week, but we did do our lie detector test, which was very amusing. So 10 out of 10 would recommend. All right. Absolutely check that out. And definitely more of the pal because I imagine you all are going to recap all the stories that came from this past week as well. Of course, follow everything I'm doing. I have the chance to talk with both Jake and Jeremiah, obviously. brought a lot of great stuff.

Jake, we got into his head for everything that was going down. During that time, a bit more of looking behind the current nest of the stuff that we didn't see from this wild incident. And Jeremiah, I got to ask why he asked Nicole to spit in his face in the middle of a challenge. So really, answering questions all around. That's what I do as an intrepid survival journalist. So check that out.

And of course, talk in The Amazing Race 38 with Jessica Lease. And then also did a very special podcast this past weekend where I got together with Melissa Denny to get her thoughts as a devout Big Brother Cornerstone about her thoughts on this Big Brother themed season and her thoughts on it as we sort of pass our own milestone as well, getting past the first quarter of that. But the milestone we're much more looking forward to right now is the inevitable swap. But if you have any thoughts or games you want us to play around this switch, around what might be coming down the pike, know what to do R-H-A-P-B-N-B at gmail.com or use the hashtag R-JP-B-N-B on social media. If this week is any indication, we are open for business when it comes to game ideas. I did some sort of odd Anna Kendrick mashup of a foot identification game and a snake identification game.

The bar is in hell, people, much like Luya was having to look at those snakes half of the time. So let us know your thoughts in the comments about this episode. What are you looking forward to about the swap most? Which snake did you like the most? Which one would you want to have as a pet? Otherwise, thanks to everybody behind the scenes at RHAP for bringing this podcast to your eyes and your ears

for your listening and viewing pleasure. Leanna, Puya, thank you both so much, as always. The most preeminent power couple at RHAP. I'm so excited to get the opportunity to talk with the two of you and to have you get to figure things out. This is like a depraved version of the newly. wet game as you all tried to get on the same page about feet and snakes and I

don't know how to feel about it. But I do know that I'll be feeling extra excited about our guest next week. Just a bit of a heads up. We are going to be recording a little bit later in the week again. I'm going to be recording probably on Monday. I will say the guest is worth it. They all are. But hopefully you will enjoy it and it will be

worth the wait. So until then, everybody, thank you again so much for listening. We'll check you out at your next day. games. Let a pray to your mama that they're not super lane. And if that all sounds cool, I can tell you the name. It's the R-H-A-P-B-M-B-M-B-M-B.

Mike and the Yon, I gotta play in some games. You let a pray to your mama, that's there not superlain. And if that all sounds cool, I can tell you the name. It's the R-H-A. You can stay for free. Three.
