Starting point is 00:00:00 We all love Survivor, and in my first ever book, The Tribe and I have spoken, I'll tell you how this little show evolved from that juggernaut first season on the beaches of Borneo all the way into its landmark 50th season. I'm like a storyteller, that's what I do. What role did the greatest players, the unforgettable moments, and Jeff Probst himself have in shaping what Survivor has become today? And what contribution did we play in building this worldwide tribe of Survivor fans? Love you, Bay.
Starting point is 00:00:28 For you future players, I've also included my ultimate survivor playbook to help you win the million dollars, unlike me. It's fine. You know what, dude, it's fun. This hardcover edition is filled with beautiful survivor illustrations in every chapter and is an amazing addition for every survivor collector. I'm a meat collector. Pre-orders are everything for a book launch, so to say thank you to everyone who pre-orders, you'll receive an exclusive digital bonus chapter called the Ultimate Rights. of passage, my personal tribute to all the players who have ever competed on the show, all 751. This is huge.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I needed this. Free order wherever books are sold in hardcover and as an audio book at rob hasabook.com. That's rob hasabook.com. Nicely done, Rob. I am so happy to finally be back at one of Rob's shows. There's so many people here. This is absolutely incredible. It's been about eight years since I've been in New York, I think.
Starting point is 00:01:46 And today I get to introduce to you the man that we've been waiting to hear from, the guy that has been incredibly busy this year. He has been to Scotland. He has had an epic murder on the traitors. He was just on Watch What Happens Live Last Night. And you guys have probably seen him more than I have. So it is my pleasure tonight to introduce my man, the myth and the legends. R-O-B.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Sorry, Rizzo. Unofficially. I'm Rob Cisternino. Thank you to the First Lady of Podcasting. Wow. This is incredible. What a night. Too bad we're coming in kind of a sad note.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Kind of a down note on the whole Ozzy thing. But we're going to talk about all that. We've got a really, really fun show at a sold-out town hall. 1,500 Survivor fans in the house tonight. And by my count, unofficially, everything I do is unofficial. Unofficially, this is the biggest gathering of fans that, outside of, of Survivor proper to ever get together to watch an episode of Survivor. And it's been a big week.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I don't know if you heard. I had a book come out this week. The tribe and I have spoken and it's so nice to be here with the tribe. And I see all the books here. And please don't be throwing them if the show doesn't go well. Okay. But the show's going to go great because we, listen, we had 1,500 people here. We had to bring out some heavy hitters.
Starting point is 00:04:12 for you. So, it is my great pleasure to welcome some co-hosts for this show tonight.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Please welcome. They were with me in Los Angeles. We're going to take the show on the road. Please welcome. Parvety Shallow.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And Danielle DeLorenzo Nath. Wow. We're trying not to be too happy because... Welcome. We're wearing.
Starting point is 00:04:49 We didn't plan this. I swear to. Yes, so in all black appropriately for Ozzie's funeral tonight. Yes. How are you? So good to see you. Thank you so much for having us. Yeah, come on in.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Okay, we've got so much to talk about here from this episode. First of all, can I ask a question? Does this chain make me look like a lesbian? What do you think? Yes. So what? I've been talking. I just recently kind of got it.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah, and people said, hey, do you know? It's a bit lesbian. And is that what you're going for or no? I'm going for it. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:37 How are you, Danielle? I am so good. I'm in New York City right now. Like, what? In front of all you amazing people. I'm a mama bear now. I have a three and a five-year-old, and she wears glasses. And I wear, okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:05:59 And I'm old and all the things that come along with it, the grays, the eyesight, I can't hear anymore. But my husband says, I'm an oldie, but goody. Yeah, that's right. So, haughty. Listen, that's a Survivor classic, okay? Yeah, well, okay, sadly, you guys, because of the. the sad way the show ended, you missed out on something really special. Danielle has been practicing a TikTok dance, and we were going to come out dancing like Rick Devin.
Starting point is 00:06:32 But I felt like the tone was inappropriate because it was Ozzy's funeral. So should she do it? Okay. Do you want us to introduce you again so you can come out to the TikTok dance? Well, guys, I was practicing it last night. I don't have it all down. I think we need to do it. But I save it.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Do I need to do the TikTok dance? Yeah, I don't know what it is. I haven't rehearsed it, though. Okay, she's going to have to show us what I'm going to show you guys. Oh, you have a chain too on your phone. Well, okay, listen. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:07 That's why I was like, you know what? It's okay. And glasses. We all like chains. Even if lesbians like chains, I can be a lesbian. This is impromptu. I didn't know. Everyone on this stage is a lesbian.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yes. All right, hold on. Okay. Own it. Hold on. So yeah. She's looking up the dance. Okay, okay, guys, ready?
Starting point is 00:07:28 So listen, I'm not even joking. Like, I... So wait, is there a music cue that's coming with this? Well, yeah, it's to a song and it's supposed to be like really popular right now. I don't do the TikTok stuff, but... All right. Okay, hold on. There's a seven count.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes, okay. This is so not going how I thought it was going to go. It feels one, two, three, four, five. four, five. This is like dance mom from half. This is killing for the people listening to the podcast. You are, you are just missing out because on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Frank the Tink. They move their hips and their hands. Amazing. This is how she dances when she finds an idol. This is how I get down on show. Okay, we love it. Wow. All right, give it up for Danielle's TikTok dance.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So listen, this is what happens when I leave my husband and my kids for a night. It's still going. It's still going. I do dances by myself in my hotel room. Yes. Yeah, I know. I'm a weird. I'm really glad we did that.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, I'm too. Yeah. So, yeah, I didn't know that was going to happen. Well, this is kind of what it's like. This is what Russell felt like when it was like, you two came up with something. And I'm like, wait, what's going on? What's happened? Why didn't you tell me the plan before? He was so terrified of us.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, we were going to bring you a fedora. Yes. Yeah, and some socks, but we forgot. Yeah. Sorry. Yes. Okay. I'd love to start to talk about this episode of Survivor, if that's okay.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I took notes. Yes, okay. Wait, I want to, just let's address the Aussie situation. Yes. You know what? I was literally just thinking. thinking how of a lovely, like he's, Ozzie's played such a great game, I think, up until this point. He's still regulated and like he's so much, so self-aware.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And he's not reactionary like he was before. And he's not playing, he's not letting his ego get in the way up until this episode. It's all like Oz turned back into Ozzy. Like all the things that he worked on just went right out the door. Yeah. Right? Well, I don't know, was it his ego? What do you think, Parvety?
Starting point is 00:09:55 I think, oh, I think sometimes people get stuck on Survivor. And Ozzy needed Surrey, and he made that very clear throughout the whole season that Surrey was really telling him what to do. Yeah. And that was very helpful for him. So the one time he cannot talk to Surrey, he voted out, is also very telling. about Ozzy's strategy. They were a...
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah. Like, he's just, he's been known to, he just feels very safe and goes out with idols in his pocket. Like he just talked about having the dream. Yes. He had the dream. He had a dream that he went home with an idol in his pocket. His father from beyond the grave came to tell him.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yes. Play your idol son. Yeah. What did you think about that? Well, you know, for Ozzy, It just seemed like that he kind of was getting ahead of himself. It felt like that he was feeling it. I think he thought, hey, I'm actually, I'm going to win this season.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And I think that he was just getting too far out ahead of him. I mean, I thought that Ozzy was so fun in this season. Can we give it up for Ozzy? I thought he played a great game, too. I never thought, though, that Ozzy was winning this season in my time, watching this season. Did either of you start to feel like that? Oh, maybe Ozzie has it. this.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Never. No, but I do think his gameplay was so much more improved than the last times that he has played. I mean, he he's a, I mean,
Starting point is 00:11:35 the fact that he just talked to Aubrey and told her all of the, all his game plans for the higher rest of the game. In that moment, just therapist.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Like, yes. She's like, I know. Aubrey, That was so good. Absolutely. So good. He just keeps pouring his little heart out. But I got to say, I have had prophetic dreams on Survivor.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Like, when you're playing Survivor, if you have a dream that you remember, it matters. Yeah. Have you guys ever had that? I had dream about, like, donuts and peanut butter. Yeah. Not joking. No, I had one on Australian Survivor. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:12:17 What happened? Yeah. Yeah, and I knew that Kirby had voted out David, because David and I played dealer-no-deal together, so people knew. Yes, remember that? Give it up for Dondy. Bring back Dondy. They love it.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, and my dream, I was like, oh, it's so clear to me that this is what went down. And then later I addressed it with her, and she was like, yep, that's what happened. because sometimes if you have those dreams that stick in your head, you better listen to them. Do not go out with an idol in your pocket. If your ghost of your ancestor comes to you and tells you to play it, make sure you do that and listen to your dreams because I'm telling you, listen to your instinct.
Starting point is 00:13:06 The spirits are speaking. They're speaking right now in this very moment. Also, one more thing. Rizzo is, he dresses like Boston Rob. Has anyone else noticed that? I was gonna be him. He's like a little brother. He's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Yeah, I was gonna be him for my drag show tomorrow night, but he's too close to Boston Rob, and I've already done that look. Yeah. You already have the outfit, though. I, well, no, I borrowed it. Give it rid of the hat. Yeah, I borrowed it from a queen. I can dress up as Boston Rob tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:13:39 No, you be Rizzo. Oh, Rizzo. Okay. That's right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Rob, who will you be?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Um, I'm just, I'm just gonna be me. Boring. Boring. So boring. Did you think that Ozzy is done now? Do you think this is it? This was the final time for Survivor for Ozzy.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yes? This was it. Oh, I heard some nose. Bring him back. Bring him back. Ozzie or Joe? Which one? Okay. Poor Ozzy.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You guys make it too easy. RBC Training Ground has discovered potential in over 20,000 Canadian athletes and counting. Your story could be next.

So we've got some people here to help us break down this tribal council.
Starting point is 00:15:22 So let's bring them out. We're going to slide down. Let's start with Dr. Evie Jagoda, Andy Ruita, Kelly Nalbandian, and Lauren O'Connell. How are you? Yes. What's happening? Rob is looking great, right? Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:45 All right. Lauren, good to see you. Hey, Kelly. How are you? Not getting kicked off this time. Yeah, we're going to stick or stay. co-hosts, yes. I've learned his lesson, thank you, whoever sent those
Starting point is 00:16:01 emails here. Thank you all so much for being here. Evie, split tribal council. What's your reaction? Do you bring me here to torture me? Every live show in New York is a freaking split tribal. It's torture. Fuck the split tribal. You know, it just sucks. You can be in a good position. But at the end of the day, if you, you, I do,
Starting point is 00:16:26 Even as someone who feels quite screwed by it, I could have gotten out of that situation, but because of mistakes I'd made previously and at the time, I couldn't. And Surrey could, and that's the difference. She could. You know, it was the great war dog, or maybe it was Aubrey Brocko, who said, the theme is not on trial, but did we like this twist? Audience? No.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Are we being results-oriented? Yes. Okay. The results could have been worse though. Yeah. Fair. Yes. Kelly, was this a fair twist in the show?
Starting point is 00:17:05 No. Yeah. I mean, this was like Jonathan basically got to become the middle player without doing any of the work. How many twists on Survivor? I will just ask. If Tiffany won the challenge, do we like the twist? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Yes. Okay. That would have been way more fun to watch. I got to say, also, what are his, like, medals that he's won, didn't he say, like, he's won a bunch of... Is he's an Olympian? World records? Yeah, so, it's a push-up record.
Starting point is 00:17:32 A world record for push-ups. Is that true? Is that accurate? Pull-ups, pull-ups. More than one world record for that, or? We're enough to look that up. He, of all of... We're on stage with a record tire.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I mean, two Survivor wins. There you go. That's a record. Higher. That's a record. Yes. Of all of Jonathan's records, that Survivor is the thing, which is not really a record.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I guess he's the two-time winner of this challenge. This is the thing he's the most proud of. All right. Okay. You know, Lauren, it's so nice to see you. It's so nice to see you. I don't think I've seen you since our season finale. Yes, Lauren, what have you been up? You're in New York now?
Starting point is 00:18:13 I am in New York now, yes, moved like three weeks ago. Yeah, what are you doing? I am just in some marketing, event planning, and hanging out in New York, getting used to New York from the L.A. vibe. Very different. Yeah. Okay, well, this is such, it's a perfect time for you to be here,
Starting point is 00:18:27 because this is such a heavy edge of extinction season. I'm here for Team Aubrey. Oh, Team Aubrey. Any question. Yes. And what a big night again for Aubrey, as that Ozzy had loose lips and gave her the embers, much like Chris Underwood had when he came back from the edge of extinction,
Starting point is 00:18:49 to get the fire going, to get out Ozzy. Absolutely. I think it's so indicative of how. how easily Aubrey can integrate herself into social situations. I think that Aubrey's superpower is her intuition, and I think people can feel that, and so they feel comfortable telling them things, like, I would love for you to sit on the jury and vote for me.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yes. Like, that's an insane thing to say, but Ozzy feels comfortable telling her that because she's made him feel comfortable. And I think she also has the read on Rizzo, and everybody else in the tribe, to be like, so this is what Ozzie said, let me tell you all about it, and she read it correctly.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Now, Andy, I have to say, I was thinking of you during the episode. Because this reminded me, remember that time when you told Rachel, when she was going to get voted out that you told her everything that you did and like to try to get her ready to go to the jury? I did do, did that. You remember that? I did that. No, to be fair, at the end game, I went up to Rachel.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I said, Rachel, maybe, maybe I'm not so bad. And she eliminated me. So I think it's very clear this very likely strategy to backfire for sure. What was going through your head to do that? So here. I do think if I'm going to be Ozzy's lawyer here and my own lawyer as well, I will say that there are so many survivor players who decide to wait until final tribal counsel to state their case.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Appropriate. So often you see that it's not enough. So often you see that it's not enough. Because there's a zero vote finalist at every final travel council, right? So, I mean, it's two different. If I get ahead of the game, I'll get at least one vote. Okay, in my situation, I felt like I was in the end game, right,
Starting point is 00:20:40 with room to grow in terms of jury equity, right? So I was swinging for the fences. In my opinion, it was a gamble that didn't pay off. With Ozzy, the thing is, he was at the final nine, right? He's playing a great game, and I don't think he would have trouble at a final trouble counsel unless he was sitting next to Surrey. So I think that was a big part of his strategy was to try to get ahead of the game sitting next to Surrey. I would just not sit next to Surrey. I think that would be the better strategy.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I feel like you guys would know better. Has telling someone you're going to vote them out ever been good jury management? I would say. Don't do that. Absolutely not. I wouldn't advise it. Survivor 101. Although Russell did say
Starting point is 00:21:26 to Sandra and Courtney, he said, you'd be surprised how much it works. Remember, he did say that. Yeah, Russell, that three. You're either with me or you're against. Russell is his own animal. But we're, I mean, he's crazy. And I think
Starting point is 00:21:42 there's some crazy guys this season too. Yeah. Very, a lot of emotion. Yes. And deep feeling men. Think with their heart and not necessarily their mind. Why is Joe so sad for winning $2 million?
Starting point is 00:22:00 He has to keep looking at Devin's face and it makes him hurt inside. It makes him upset. Disgusting. Lauren, Joe said that Rick Devin's game is inappropriate. Disgusting, he said. Yes. But he used the word, I think it's inappropriate what he's doing. It's filthy.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah. What do you? you think? It sucks to be on the losing end of a Rick Devon's play. I can attest to that one. Yeah, I think it's so interesting to watch the ways in which Rick entertains the jury and the audience in his efforts to get out of whatever situation he has already caused. And I am sure that is extremely frustrating for Joe to watch, who has used to be like, like, so this is what we're doing, and everyone says, yes, Joe. That is what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:22:57 So, inappropriate? No. Frustrating? Yes. Controlling. Heavy? Yeah, I was just going back to Ozzy for one sec. No, you're not going to.
Starting point is 00:23:08 You think that Rick is controlling? No, no, no, I wouldn't say that about Rick. Right, you think Joe is controlling. I would say that. I think that Joe probably. Trying to be. He wishes. I don't get that from him at all.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Well, he's so rigid. He's like, I can't think that way. He's just, no, he's. I think that. I also want to think Joe's worst nightmare. Yeah. Like he's like, that's not what we're doing. That was not the plan.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And Rick is like, so I'm going to blow up every single tribal council. Open to other options. Often. In flexibility, also a tragic flaw on Survivor. You have to be able to adapt. That has been such a great dynamic this season, though, going back to day one with Rick Devons versus Joe. I think it's kind of, we've hit the upside of what could happen when you put two people
Starting point is 00:23:48 playing diametrically opposite games. And the fact that they both lasted this long playing so differently has been really, really cool. Yeah. And Rick is on the bottom and having the best time. Yeah, he's just, his playfulness is so, it's incredible. Like, to be able to go out there and just play the way that he's playing. But I honestly, I really think that you can see that he has such a beautiful relationship with his wife, right? Because he tells us in his confessionals that he told his wife that he was going to play this playful game this time around and have fun. And then when he got those love letters, it ignited this fire in him.
Starting point is 00:24:29 And he went Beast Mode. And then when he- Remember when he walked into the tribal council? He had the conversation with Aubrey and he was like, I'm going to blow up this tribal. And Aubrey was like, so my. And then she sat quiet, like an assassin and let him do all the dirty work. It was brilliant, Aubrey. But he is just, you know, he's just having so much fun with this game.
Starting point is 00:24:51 and watching it from a player's point of view, I'm like, oh my gosh, that would be so freeing to be able to play that way. But playing from a fan's point of view, it can be frustrating as a player point of you too because you're like, if I was on the island with him, I think I want to just, you know, put it back, flashy guys.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Normalize men crying on TV. It's nice. He's a crier. He's letting out. Men would literally do anything but go to therapy. Yeah, but crying for the right reasons. Thank you. He's there for the right reasons.
Starting point is 00:25:23 He loves his wife and he misses her so much. That's good. Yeah. Cry about that. He is so full of a little. No, but he's, yeah. I love his dancing too. I love the whole dancing segment. He did the teeth.
Starting point is 00:25:33 That was so cute. Rick Devons, get on TikTok. What are you waiting for? I know exactly what producer probably took him to do that segment. Yeah. You know, Kelly, this was also not to bury the lead
Starting point is 00:25:47 Emily's boot episode. I know. And Emily talked a lot of lot about the parallels between her getting voted out in season 45 and then her vote out tonight. What did you think of Emily's vote out here tonight? I feel like Emily
Starting point is 00:26:00 was playing like 4D chess because she's traumatized from her last one. She kind of was, to me, it was sort of like an almost Eric immunity necklace five and she was doing it to three. I was like, I don't know. That's not going to work. This is pretty bold. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:17 I feel for Emily, I think she's a great player. She's always a chaos agent. But You know, she has to do something to try to save herself here. It's unfortunate that she's in a small group with Sri, who, as I just watched three episodes in a row, I'm kind of just like the whole time. I don't know how she's doing it. That's also probably the optimal way to use it, an extra vote,
Starting point is 00:26:38 which doesn't always move the needle. Yeah, I was going to say how many times... You were talking... Yeah, how many times does it actually matter, the extra vote? Like, this was a really... True. I would go to the fans for that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And also to do a re-boat and use your extra vote again. Has that ever happened? So in season 41, Evie, the extra vote did play a factor, right? That's right. In the split tribal. Yeah. I wasn't there. But I do remember that happening that Chan and Ricard did that.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I'm so proud of my girl for using her advantage properly. Yeah. Yes. That's how you do it on Survivor. That's how you do it on Survivor. Is there ever a world that you think? that Rick doesn't play the idol for himself in that scenario? Absolutely not. No way. I'm so glad for him that he did. Like that just you have,
Starting point is 00:27:28 if you're in the split tribal you have to play, you have to play. I was nervous for like one. Guys, can we talk about the coin flip with with would you ever be like, yeah, I'm gonna do it. I think if I was gonna go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah on the bottom. If you're on the bottom coin. Yeah. Like it's that positive mindset that he constantly talks about and it's the truth. You have a positive mindset think good things happen. Create your own luck. I've said it every day. Right? Every day? Fail up. You know, you guys, I have something to talk about that's not about this episode. What is it? Okay. But it is sort of breaking news. Breaking news, okay. Oh, I know what you're going to say. This is breaking news. Danielle and I talked about it in the car when I was on the way
Starting point is 00:28:11 to New York City. And it's about Stephanie LaGrosa. Uh-oh. Okay. Oh, I thought. Good night everybody. Thank you. We love you. We love New York. Yes. The clock stopped. It's time for me to go. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Okay, so we know she had to hold her arm up for an hour. Yes. What's that? Parvite's like, give me two days. Please. She was like crying about it because her shoulder hurt because it got dislocated. And like I dislocated, that is inaccurate. I saw the clip and I'm like, that was me.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Yeah, it was. And that is ingrained. my mind. That's why I love Survivor. That clip right there. That entire... I did not dislocate her shoulder. I know. That's what I'm saying. Why do they keep showing it? Like, I raped her. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Parvety, you're rent-free. Come on. They're all thinking about it. So you were not the person that injured Stephanie. That was Danielle. It was me. It was me. I'm not proud of it, but I was, you know. She's proud of it. I'm intense. I mean... Watch out anybody, okay?
Starting point is 00:29:18 All right. For our panel, anything else? I just want to say I did wear my lesbian carabiner. Yes. I love it. I mean, like, as a lifelong lesbian, I've never had a chain part. You guys have none of the same belt going on. We're wearing the same belt.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Welcome to the crew now. The chain is a little bit of a lesbian. Lauren, where's your chain? Yeah. Andy, will you get a chain? Really wrong. The LGBT. All right.

Starting point is 00:30:38 We are really going to be having fun in a moment because we have a great panel coming out. First, let's bring out Survivor's new hottest it couple, Teeny and Stephanie Berger. So sweet. Welcome. So good to see you. Hi, Tini. Hey, Steph. What's up, everyone?
Starting point is 00:31:12 And that's not all. We also have with us the great... Jonathan Penner. The best lesbian here. How are you, buddy? So good to see you. What an entrance. Oh, can we borrow that?
Starting point is 00:31:52 Can we borrow that? I don't know. I'd like my hat back, please. Where's our lesbian family photo? Come on, us three. How are you? Wait, you need the microphone. Thank you so much for that
Starting point is 00:32:11 extraordinarily warm welcome. Thank you. Wait, do we know why you're not on 50? No. We don't fucking know. Who knows? They lose your number? Who's responsible? No, you know what I think happened?
Starting point is 00:32:27 Mike, you know, they asked Mike White, rightly so. Mike White said yes, rightly so. And that, you know, then Ozzy became the next obvious guy and coach. And once those three guys were in the mix, I think that. I think you're more of the Jonathan archetype. No. I could see you as a Jonathan. With the dancing Phoenix, that was a little grotesque, I think.
Starting point is 00:32:51 There's only room for one You can do that peck dance? Yeah, I don't know. Dancing. I don't know. Anyway. Yeah. Do you want to make the Phoenix dance now?
Starting point is 00:33:03 How about that they're not fat, they're girthy? What? Remember that? The grubs that are you? That was an Emily quote. That was an Emily quote. Sorry. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:17 What is you? What is you? What is you? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. Stephanie, teeny, how's it going? It's going great. It's great.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Did you guys just get off a cruise? Kind of. We look like we just broke out of jail. But like a French prison. Yeah, no. Actually, kind of. With fashion. Or like clown.
Starting point is 00:33:43 The White Lotus season four. Yeah. Is that a spoiler? Yeah. What? Is it the White Lotus season four? Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Oh, my. I am so pissed. You're on the White Lotus? Yeah, Teeny is... No, no, tell them about your character. No, no, no, no, no. Stream our podcast, you'll find out. Penner, this was such a big Ozzy night,
Starting point is 00:34:07 and this is really, maybe the culmination of Ozzy's journey. You were there watching it from the start. What did you make of as a storyteller? The maybe end the climax of the Ozzy story? Well, I'm not sure that's true. I bet they'd have him back at some point, right? To see, I mean, here's the question. Can a tiger, you know, leopard change their spots?
Starting point is 00:34:30 This is the fucking heartbreaking, sorry, heartbreaking part of the story to me. It's like you go out, we all go out. And can you help but shoot yourself in the foot? He played the same, ultimately the same game. And as he was talking, we were all like, no, shut up, shut up, hell up. And he couldn't shut up. He couldn't do it. It's Shakespeare.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Literally, I was happy. It is. Character is story. That is the truth. And we all watched him hoping, fingers crossed, we were so happy all season long as he seemed to be playing a different game. And he ended the game on his own terms. So we left for five minutes. It was five minutes.
Starting point is 00:35:16 God damn. I really identify with Ozzy. And it's not just because he looks like he was plucked off a sidewalk in Bushwick. just like I do. But because I feel like if you gave me five goes at this, five tries, I would come out the fifth time and be like, okay, I'm going to try the strategy now.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I'm ready. And then the strategy would be like, guys, I really want to win, please. Please let me win. And then I wouldn't play my idol. And then that would be that. So I love Ozzy. I love everything he's given.
Starting point is 00:35:43 He was really going with the groveling strategy. Yeah. I've never heard someone walk up to another player and say, you know how bad I want to win. Like, that's incredible. That's incredible. Guys, I think it just goes to show, like, you can't even, no matter how much work you do on yourself, like, it was clear that he, like, evolved as a human and did a lot of work on himself.
Starting point is 00:36:04 The circumstances from the game, like that fight or flight mode, you just can't sustain it. It's just going to bring you back to the core things that you have once experienced. And that's exactly what happened to him. Like, he was on such a good, right? Like, he got such a good past. Yes, yes, this is very important. and this is Surrey 101. The reason why Surrey is so effective at Survivor
Starting point is 00:36:28 is because her nervous system is so regular. She is the most regulated person you will ever be around and it's cozy. And it feels so nice. And you're like, everybody just wants to be around that because everyone's losing their minds and panicking and melting down. And then on top of that, she has a blanket.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It's true. Okay. You know who else I think is incredibly regulated and played that way? And it was beautiful to watch. Aubrey. I think you. Stand up, Aubrey. Aubrey, stand up.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Because girl, a round of applause. I got to stand up for this. I know you talked about doing work on yourself, right? And you, it showed. Like, no, just like, I'm not saying that in a bad way. Like, we all want to do work. When you experience Survivor, you want to do work on yourself. Go back to us.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Go back. Is this a live tribal now? We're not doing a live tribal. I want to talk. And you'll tell her. Bring it back. I'm really proud of her. She's doing great.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Wear her emotions on her sleeve. Like she was able to compartmentalize her emotions. And that is so hard, especially being a mom. Like she was able to play such a strategic game without bringing any emotion into it. And I think it's beautiful. And she stayed regulated. And it was incredible to work. watch. So hats off to you, Aubrey.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I think you've been an incredible player. Yeah. No one controls Danielle, okay? Yeah. Especially not you, Rob. He yelled at me. That wasn't yelling. But Parvety, I think that also part of this was Ozzy had an
Starting point is 00:38:11 idol, too. Like, this was not a situation where okay, you know, Emily is sort of in a really tough spot, really nothing that she can do here. Ozzy just has to play the idol and that this is also part of his history because in Micronesia
Starting point is 00:38:29 he's also voted out with the idol. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember that. Isn't that like, that's kind of how he gets the idol in this game in the first place, right? Like, someone gave him that idol hoping they might get it back. Yeah, it's almost like
Starting point is 00:38:49 Genevieve knew something. Like, you think it's going to happen. That's a really... Wait, Genevieve was right. If only. Like, literally. It was right. What was I going to say?
Starting point is 00:39:01 Sorry. Oh, yes. Just a fucking stick. Remember that? Not even the idol. Wait, it's come and gone multiple times. It'll come back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Was it Ozzy in the... Yeah, it was. It was. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but, Penner, do you feel like... I like that the fact, because there's been such a big part of this season has been like, well, I'm not going to let that happen to me again from all of these players who come back
Starting point is 00:39:29 with these wounds from Survivor. Was it, was it hard for Ozzy to, and obviously it was, to not be like. Oh, I remembered it. Yes. Awesome. That was a beautiful stall. This is why Rob invites me to come on its podcast. Okay, now I've forgotten it again.
Starting point is 00:39:49 We actually remember. Mombrates. No, actually, I'm not concussed this time. I promise. Okay, I always say this. When you have an advantage or an idol, you cannot sit on it. You have to play it because it gives people this false sense of comfort or security. And as we know, this is Ozzy's tragic flaw.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Like, he already has a false sense of comfort. So now the idol has added another layer of false security. that it's like, no, you would be better off without that. Much better off. So just get rid of it. Flush it out. First thing. Yeah, he, but he said it.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I trusted you guys. That was his whole thing. He was going to play a social game this time, and he did, and he, and it bit him in the ass. But he trusted me, too. Well, he's a fool. I don't know. I mean, he, you know, he gave his trust to the wrong people. Every time.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Many such cases. Every time, you know. It's fascinating to watch him not play the, I don't know, the fast-paced turning and twisting game that Rizzo seems to have mastered. You know, I mean, I don't know how you guys feel about it. I couldn't, I'm not sure I could do that. You know, I want my comfort too. I just want to, who am I voting for? Is it okay?
Starting point is 00:41:15 Can I sleep now? You would never get that blanket from three. I don't have the energy. And this is 26 days. It's every effing night is a tribal. And, you know, it's really stressful, which is why having Surrey, not only for herself, that kind of calm,
Starting point is 00:41:31 but to have that with you. Mama Bear. You feel like, oh, my God, yes, I'm at home. I can feel calm, you know. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. As she's sitting there, you watch her face, and she's like, ah, that's the best.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I love, like, her, the way that she, you know, when she's interacting with other people, like on the hammock or whatever, she does this thing where she just keeps her face facing forward, and she side talks out of her mouth. And I'm like, we know. They know you're gaming. Like, what is that? It's the best.
Starting point is 00:42:04 It's hilarious. Also, I'm so curious if Rizzo was ever able to share the blanket at all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was very hoardery with that blanket in Australia. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Penner, we saw a couple weeks ago, Jeff did the challenge, and that they showed the montage of everybody getting trash talked by Jeff. You know, I was just curious. I think, you know, we talked about whether you could have been there for season 50, but what a great moment it would have been if you were there in that, challenge to trash talk back to Jeff. I certainly would have. Did you give any thought to what
Starting point is 00:42:54 you would have said to Jeff? What the fuck, Jeff? Dude, seriously, we're trying to win a million dollars and you're jackassing around? Right? And you're going to tell the world, oh, I had no idea it was so hard. After 25
Starting point is 00:43:10 years and every challenge that you witnessed, you had no idea. Oh, my arms hurt so bad. I would have given them a month. A ton of shit. I enjoyed that scene so much. Do any of the other people here, did you have FOMO to get the chance to tell Jeff off in the challenge?
Starting point is 00:43:34 100%. I probably would have used it as an opportunity to tell him off about things unrelated entirely to the challenge. I would have been like, wait, why is Billy Eilish a part of this? She clearly doesn't seem to want to be also if we're going caught up. She hasn't even ever watched a... One season, one episode.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Yep. I would have been shocked to be there. Absolutely shocked. Okay. All right. Anything else that you all want to say about this episode or Survivor 50 while we have you? Yes? Anything.
Starting point is 00:44:18 A personal favor. Because I, honestly, I haven't been in front of 1,500 people. No, and this is serious. I'm going to bring it down for one second, honestly. is ALS Awareness Month. On the count of three, is this being recorded? Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:43 On the count of three, would you all join me in saying fuck ALS? May I? One, two, three. Fuck ALA. You know, I'm going to... Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:00 You know what? I'm going to throw off the whole rundown of the show. Penner, I'm so happy that you're here. Will you stay for another segment? Okay. All right. Stephanie Tini, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Thank you, right. Thank you guys. I think you're going to get some happy email. You guys rule. You love you. Three lesbians right here. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:29 All right. All right. You know, we have talked so much about the second tribal council, and we've hardly talked about the first tribal councils. Let's get in some more talk about it. Let's bring in Our Survivor 43 friends, it's Lindsay, James Jones, and Eric Stein. Oh, I didn't know that Eric Stein was going to be here.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I complained my way onto the panel. Yes. Yes, okay. All right. Lindsay, how are you doing? I mean, I would be doing better if the Sixers won tonight. I was kind of hoping you'd ask me up on stage before the end. You're brave.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Oh, I know. Oh, I know. But it takes a lot of nerve to like come up on stage and wear this tonight. But enough about me. Robert, congratulations. Thank you so much. James, how are you? I mean, what?
Starting point is 00:46:24 I wanted the Sixers to win, of course. But I'm happy to celebrate you, Robin. I'm on the stage with legends that I'm kind of like starstruck. So I'm happy to be here. Thanks for an opportunity. And yeah, let's talk about some survivor. Yeah. And we're, you know, they have this.
Starting point is 00:46:42 list of reality masterminds, but they, we have the real mastermind, Eric Stein. It's true, I did go on a murderous rampage last summer and fall through the Big Brother House, but I have since resolved that. But I'm going to say what these guys are too humble to say themselves. It is a complete disgrace that Jonathan and Rob were not on Survivor 50. Both of them belong there. They are core to the Survivor's story, and they had more and new stories to tell. And they're some of the best.
Starting point is 00:47:23 And the show is worse off for the fact that they were not on it. So they're not going to say it. Thank you very much, Eric. Thank you. Also, Danielle and I are fine that you didn't say that about us. It's okay. Don't worry about it. We're tough.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Yeah, we can take it. Okay, well, let's talk about this first vote, which ends up sending Emily home in the episode. And Serie is going to play her extra vote. Was this just a vote split all along?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Was there ever any doubt that Surrey was going to play her votes here? Her extra vote? Seri's too smart. She's going to play it. She knows. You don't sit on an advantage like that. She listens to her intuition.
Starting point is 00:48:02 She follows it. Yeah. Unlike somebody else we know. James, it seemed like in the story that we got that nobody really knew Surrey had the extra vote, but it was almost like that Surrey, Jonathan, Tiffany, and
Starting point is 00:48:20 Ceree's extra vote. Like, it's like they were on the same page to split the vote to 2-2. I mean, Ceree's a great player. Like, looking at the board, she's trying to keep control. At the same time, she's working with Jonathan. Jonathan's very comfortable. Jonathan went to Ceree for permission to walk to the other beach.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Like, like, let's just say, he was immune, and he's asking permission to take out someone on the other beach. Like, that's crazy. So, with that being said, it shows how locked in that she is. But also, it shows how flexible everybody is in the game. And everybody sees the pass forward, and everybody here is playing. And everybody in her head has a four that they're moving forward with at 7 now. So I'm excited to see what's happening.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I don't love Ozzie being out of the game, forcery. Agreed. I think she's lost a soldier. She lost her only soldier, I think. Ozzy would take Ceree to the end. I think that was like, I think he's the one person that would take her to the end. Other than that, she's probably going to make fire. We've seen that play out.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Guess who beat her. This one. So who, what does Ceree do without Ozzie? I mean, that's the question, right? She's going to have to convince someone to take her to final three, and that's an uphill battle for her. Riz God. Yeah, Rizzo.
Starting point is 00:49:43 It might be her only shot. Well, the other person that's really come on here after the merge has been Tiffany, where that Tiffany... Honestly, Tiffany might take her to the end. Yeah? I could see Tiffany take her, sorry. They have a nice relationship. They do have a good relationship.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And Tiffany was somebody who... She was my winner pick for the season because I thought that people would not think about her. And I thought that... But she was in such big trouble. And she's come back so nicely where she was not even immune. and nobody was even trying to get the vote on Tiffany. So is Tiffany now replacing Ozzy and the Rizzo-Seri? Tiffany trifecta?
Starting point is 00:50:19 Rizzo? Correct. Yeah. Rizzo? Just blink twice. When soldiers go home and soldiers get the elevated, it's like Sopranos, Ceri is sitting there, she's the godmother. She has soldiers ready, you know, to step up.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Actually. And that's kind of how it rolls. I feel like it didn't upset the hierarchy too much. it made everybody feel like they had agency and it's kind of a shot of Surrey but not really so that makes them kind of feel happy because when someone is dominating the game people really start wanting to make moves
Starting point is 00:50:51 when they feel like they can't so they feel like they got one on her so this probably makes everybody go underground a little bit hopefully she can pull it through her yeah this was the first night you started to hear Ceri's name as now we're getting into the final nine and now we jump ahead
Starting point is 00:51:04 to the final seven where Rick and Emily were trying to take a big shot I just wonder now that the name is out there. Is this a problem for Surrey? It's coming. Her demise. I can feel it.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Danielle. I don't want her to leave. I don't know for sure. I'm just saying, guys, I love her. I don't want her to leave. Oh my God. Get off the stage. And seven people left?
Starting point is 00:51:30 Yes. So there's another double, I mean, unless it's a final. I think, yeah, I think next week will probably be a double boot episode again. And then we'll have five for the. the finale. But like which celeb is going to come do it? We don't know. Maybe Billy
Starting point is 00:51:46 Alex. Like Beyonce. Hermit the frog. Hey guys. It's me. He just comes out of the water. Yeah. Lindsay, did anybody even care what Rick and Emily were doing with the idol?
Starting point is 00:52:04 Was the was the goose cooked no matter what? And they just like were just doing lip service to Rick and Emily. Yes. Yeah. I mean, they're smart enough to know the numbers, and everyone knew what was going on behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:52:19 What I want to talk about is why are people just now bringing up Surrey's name now? I mean. No, she knows that. We know that. We know she's great. My question is... Terri has a force field around her, unless she's with me, and then the votes go to her.
Starting point is 00:52:34 She's the master manipulator. She makes everybody feel... And I get it. Super comfortable. It's insane that she gets underestimated. Why? I think when people, like, Ceree is the type of player socially where she's going to present a solution to you that helps you out.
Starting point is 00:52:56 But you also. You have a microphone. But you also know that, you know you can beat her, like she's not going to be an immunity threat. So you always can have that vote. So when someone forms a plan against her, you always have her vote against that plan, which makes it easy for you to play. So when someone makes it move against Ceree, it kind of just like, as those people, go down, that's good, and you can still probably beat her at the end because everybody
Starting point is 00:53:17 knows you don't want to sit next to her. So it's kind of like, why take that person out? Yeah, but you've got the best of the best in every reality survivor game, saying she's the best to never win. Like, why do we continue to give her the opportunity to get so close? So that's the thing with Cere's difficulty, her challenge points are the beginning of the game, she has to survive the first vote, and then she's good. As soon as she survives the first vote. She's solid all the way to the point where people are like, I'm picking who's going to sit next to me. And that's
Starting point is 00:53:49 her second pain point that we need to see her overcome, Danielle. Wait, I love how you talk. Her challenge point and her pain point. From whence did this language come?
Starting point is 00:54:07 This is directly from my book. It's called Nice Girls Don't Win. Check it out. It's a great read. In bookstores, every everywhere. Yeah. I have a couple of bones to pick with you about that, but we'll talk about that later.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Okay. All right. Anything else from our panel talking about this first tribal council? Eric. I have two really minor points. I think a big part of why no one says Ceres name is because you want to win yourself, but if it's not going to be you, then let it be Ceree. That's palatable to everybody there, right?
Starting point is 00:54:40 You don't want to be on a bad season. You don't want someone you don't like or who you think is less. or who you think is less than the season to win the show. And if it's not going to be you, you look around and say, I could live with that. No, that's spoken like a new school player. Yeah. Well, I was on in 2007.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Well, what's gone with your brain? So I actually have a point to that. When I was going through casting in the new school era, the idea was like no villains because at the end of the game, we want everyone to want whoever's sitting there to win. And what I've going to realize watching season 50 is... Wait, that's how they casted your cast? I maybe shouldn't have said that.
Starting point is 00:55:19 They said we only want nice people? Oh, well, that makes a lot of sense now. I mean, it's not a coincidence. There's not a ton of villains in the new season. I tried. They didn't show it. I tried. I really did.
Starting point is 00:55:34 There's a whole chapter about this in the tribe and I have spoken. But my point is, is what I've come to notice in season 50. is that I'm really enjoying watching old school bring in the nastiness of Survivor, and it's really fun to watch, right? I mean, we all said we wanted, like, niceness, and now we're kind of like, the villains are great again. Who said that?
Starting point is 00:55:59 Penner, in a couple of weeks, we're going to be back together right here in New York City at the Tribeca Film Festival. Can you give a quick plug for what we're doing next month? Folks, come to, it's not going to be quite like this, $40. It's going to be, unfortunately, a little bit more. Come to the Tribeca Festival, Rob and Tini and I, and Kyle, and Camilla, and somebody that we've been talking a lot about, Surrey,
Starting point is 00:56:30 will be together. We have an extraordinary group of non-playing guests as well. That's all I can say. please go to Tribecafestival.com, buy some tickets. It's going to be fucking fantastic. Okay. June 6, June 6, 6, 6, 26. Jeff is going to send a thing in CBS.
Starting point is 00:56:52 All right, everybody, give it up for Panor and Lizzie and James and Eric. Thank you so much. All right. This is a big, big coup for us. Because, you know, Survivor has had lots of special guest stars. in this season, and we are so lucky to have one of them joining us right here tonight. Let's give it up for Billy Eilish is here. Billy Eilish!
Starting point is 00:57:29 Billy's here, Billy, why don't... I don't really... Get in the middle. This is kind of awkward. Right in the middle. I'll sit literally wherever. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Billy, I'll sit right here next to... I'm going to sit over here. Whatever. Wow, this is so fun. Wow, you look great. Isleish is here. Billy Elish, we know you are
Starting point is 00:57:50 such a big fan of Survivor. What's it like for you to be here with all the Survivor fans? Is that this? Is that what this? My Uber got here seven or eight minutes. That's what this is? Is this a
Starting point is 00:58:05 Survivor event? Yes, yes. We just watched the big Survivor episode and saw one of the players voted out with your Billy Elish Boomerang Idol. You heard about that? I know about that. You heard about that? Yes. You do know about it.
Starting point is 00:58:22 You know about it. When did you learn about it? We've been hearing about it since day one. It's been a big part of the whole thing.

They named the idol after you called the Billy Elish B.

Starting point is 00:58:59 We never went to Australia. I don't like a boomerang. Are you afraid of them because they come back towards your face? I've never, I've never liked anything that comes back at me. I'd like to just put out in the world. I'm Billy. Whoa. Oh, Billy.

Starting point is 01:00:38 My name is Surrey, yeah. I'm at risk of, I don't want to demonetize this YouTube situation, so I don't know if I sing. Is it okay if I sing? I think if you sing, I don't think we're going to get demonetized on YouTube. But that was really thoughtful. I don't think that they're going to flag it as like, is this the real song? So considerate.
Starting point is 01:01:00 You can use the real song in your podcast? Phineas will be so fucking mad if I get us in trouble. Finiis is my brother. He's my muse. I thought it was your dog. No, Phineas is my, Danielle, he's my muse, Phineas. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:02:06 Billy Ilish, who's going to win Survivor 50? Surrey. I think Surrey. She won, she won twice. already. I learned that from that nice version. And then tell us real quick about your new project. Hit them hard and soft. Hit them hard and soft is my movie. It's coming out, I think this week. If you go see The Devil Wars Prada 2, you can go in while you go to the bathroom and pop in and you will see me singing my song.
Starting point is 01:02:38 I love Survivor. I love it. I love and Phineas is my muse. Yes. All right, Billy Elish, stick around, okay? All right. We got one more panel that's going to come out and join us to talk. Okay, here we go. Here comes. We've got Bianca and Thomas and Cedric. Boo.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Boo. No hugs anymore. Yes. How are you? Come closer. Okay. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yes. Bianca. Okay. Thomas, have you ever worked with Billy Elish? No comment. Yeah. We were in an Uber pool. Remember the Uber pool we were in?
Starting point is 01:03:32 What did you just say? We were in an Uber pool. We got in the same Uber. Thomas doesn't take Uber pools. Yeah, if you know me, I don't take an Uber pool. Yes. That may have been someone else. Cedric, how are you doing?
Starting point is 01:03:44 I'm great. I'm great. It's great to be here. Wow. My first event. Yes. Well, Cedric, thank you. You look great.
Starting point is 01:03:53 I love your shoes. Thank you. Those are nice. These survivors really dressed up. Hey, guys, was Chrissy wearing a prom dress at the jury? From like the 80s? Saul really elevated the final tribal council or the tribal council fashion. It was taffeta.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah. I'm curious. How much did you prepare your jury look? Well, only one person on here got to reveal them. Yes. Sad. I didn't prepare. I didn't.
Starting point is 01:04:28 I didn't think extravagant. I didn't think anything other than whatever I had, and it wasn't much. Clothes? Yeah, because I don't have a lot of beach wear. Do you regret that? No. I have a question. Do they do your hair and makeup now?
Starting point is 01:04:47 No. Okay. Dear God, no. Everybody looks so dolled up. Like Stephanie. At Ponderosa? Thomas? No, literally.
Starting point is 01:04:53 I knew you were going to do this. Okay, so Thomas and I got ready in the same room before the game started. This man, I had to wait on the porch for literally an hour. I was the last person to show up to like when the game was about to begin because I was waiting for this man to do his hair. It was the last time I was going to be able to put vitamin C serum on my face. I was going to take the time and get it done. Also, I was so excited because I opened the little wardrobe
Starting point is 01:05:23 and I saw we both had purple clothes. I was like, fuck yes. Like, BR is on my tribe, so I walk out. Boston Rob? If only. But I walk out and I see Bianca and I'm like, I'm like, gay. And she is so pissed.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I was so mad. I was staring at me like, fuck you and wherever you came from. I was like, fuck this guy. What were you doing to your hair? honest, my hair was short back then. So like a... I did blow dry it. With a dice and air wrap.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Yeah, I mean, yeah. Well, I shaved. I wanted the mustache to look really tight, you know. So you guys are talking before the game even started. Correctly, yeah, before the marooning. Okay, but knowing you're going to have to jump off a boat into the water. Well, they don't do that anymore. Yeah, we didn't have to.
Starting point is 01:06:07 They do that still. They don't do that. God, it was so much harder in my death. I haven't done it lately. Billy, you seem very, it seemed like you're very on top of that. Don't worry about it. I'm Phineas. He's my muse. You know, Vinnie? You know, so we have three people here from Survivor 48,
Starting point is 01:06:22 and of course we have somebody who's now in the final seven here, and it's Joe, and he's been playing such an interesting game. It's been such a fun subplot of that all season long, Joe keeps going to tribal councils and keeps having to vote for people he doesn't want to vote for. He never gets to vote for I've been there Yeah
Starting point is 01:06:47 He never gets to vote for who he wants to anymore And he gets really upset about it Well he's learning about Survivor every week You know what I mean It's like it's a lot of new information every single time It's a lot to process Yeah He is going with the flow I guess
Starting point is 01:07:04 You could give him that Sure You know Yeah what can we say about Joe Some people are more strategic than others I think what we can say about Joe is that he is sincere who he is. Yeah. Whether you like it or not, he is authentically himself.
Starting point is 01:07:24 And that's all we can ask for. You know, we don't ask for a monolithic interpretation of ourselves. We're not going to be the same. And he is authentically himself. Yeah, I just can't get behind people who are like, Survivor is an ethical game. And I am honorable. Like, I love it when it comes from coach.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Like give me coach saying how honorable he is every day But like not someone who's actually really Does try to tell the truth Listen we love Joe Joe's great But you know it's just it's it's hard to watch him in certain situations lately With like you know when he's getting in talking to the other contestants And they're just trying to persuade him and he doesn't he's not open He's not open for anything that he doesn't want for, you know, for the way to go.
Starting point is 01:08:18 It's crazy. He's the, I always lovingly called. Thomas called this very early on, like day one on the island. Yeah, I was like, so Joe is the Titanic. And like, if you see the iceberg, I don't know if we have enough time to move out of the way. Yeah. Not the Titanic. Yeah, the Titanic's dream.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Because that would be fun. Correct. Although Joe is an ally. I will go on the record. Joe is an ally. Well, I think that came up recently. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Yeah. And you're going to make a point about Joe. Just that was it. Okay. That he's the Titanic. I mean, yeah, we're all making a point about Joe and it's all kind of blunt, you know. Like what else can you say? He's not giving us much to work with.
Starting point is 01:09:10 He is really funny to watch Try to Lie, where he's like, yes. Yeah. He did kind of lie to Ozzy. Yeah, he's like twitching and. Yeah. Like, I remember when he would try to get me to vote, like, when we were, like, in the beginning, really, like, really trying to play. But had no reason to play hard because we weren't going to try ball. He was just trying to get me to vote out Bianca over Eva for no reason.
Starting point is 01:09:36 None. Yeah. We weren't going to try. I will say that, you know, our final tribal, I was the one vote for Joe. And I've heard several things about that. And I will say Camilla that we all had, we discussed, you know, if Camilla was in the final three, she was going to win. Yeah! All said, if Camilla gets to the end, Camilla's going to win this game.
Starting point is 01:10:02 I will sold on it. And so when she didn't get to the end, there was a little bit of a conundrum because I didn't see you. I didn't see all the things that Kyle was doing. And so we were left with making that decision. And so I think that the reality of Joe making statements at Tribal that showed his sincerity that kind of connected with me. You like an honorable guy. I think one of the things he says, he says, you know, I'm not a doctor.
Starting point is 01:10:27 I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a firefighter trying to work for my kids. And for whatever reason, I mean, I got a kid. I mean, I get what that's like. And I connect it with it. Yeah, that's a good line, I guess. So in the episode tonight, Surrey talked about how that there was a code word
Starting point is 01:10:45 that she could give to Ozzy at any point. And then if Si said that code word to Ozzy, he would play his idol. But I don't believe we got to hear in the episode what the code word was. So I thought it might be fun. If we went down the line and then decided to,
Starting point is 01:11:07 guess what the code word was, okay? And let me start with you. I'm going to go down the line. Does Parvety know? Like, who knows what the answer is? I just texted her for it. Okay, okay, okay, right. Yeah, and we're just having fun. Okay, let's start. Billy Eilish. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:11:25 Fun up here, okay. What do you think the code word was? They don't want to lose. I'm like, who's going to win? I think of a word, it's fiery, it's hot, that's passionate, it begins with F. Finius.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I'm doing a little pener as Billy. I don't know how peners, my voice is transition to penur, but he's my muse. Yeah. Farberty, you know them both so well. Do you have a guess what the code word was? Eric. What if it's like Coco Popes?
Starting point is 01:12:05 What if it's something completely random? Coco Puffs. Is somebody writing these down? I'd like to have these later. Maybe it was just Brigade, you know, thinking about her past game. If she talked about her experiences and... Oh, I don't think it would be. Definitely not obvious, not an obvious one.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Brigade? Why would you say that? I thought, Rob, you said there were no losers in the game. We're going really hard at Baguese. Sorry, there's no... Billy, I'm just impressed you know my name. I'm so excited. It was on the paragraph I was sent by my publicist.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Bianca, what do you think Ceres' code word is to get Ozzie to play his up? idol. Idle. Idol. It's gotta be simple. It's got to be simple and trait power. Yeah. She's playing. She's saying it out of the side of her mouth. Oidal. Oidel. Just play your idol.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Idol. Yeah. Thomas, what would be a good code word? Well, what did you talk about in Australia about she was not open to, like, open marriages or open relationships? Polyamory. Yeah, polyamory. Because everything's changed. Polyamory.
Starting point is 01:13:12 But isn't that what her alliance is? This season? Yeah. He's into it. Yeah. And Ozzy's like, that's why they're so tight this season. Correct. You don't know which way.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think it's a food. A food. What food? Maybe like peanut butter. Peanut butter.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Yeah. It has to come up at tribal council. Then they could cover it up and they could just be talking about food. That's an easy way for it to come up. Just to be like, oh, I really want some pancakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody's going to say that at tribal council. I really want some pancakes?
Starting point is 01:13:45 Is that what you say? Sophie Ballardy keeps messaging me about pancakes. At eye-hop. Yes. Have you seen the eye-hup? She's doing something. It's a collaboration. She's my muse.
Starting point is 01:13:59 She's my muse. By the way, did either of you ever have Cerise Rice? Is it as good as they say on Survivor? Yeah. I mean, it's just rice. Fine. It's fine. I don't recall.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Yeah. All right. Panelists, is there anything else? else that we want to say about tonight's episode. They did pay me for the sponsor, and I've decided to donate all the money to charity, who you spent some time with on the island, the person. She seems lovely from the clips you showed me backstage,
Starting point is 01:14:34 and I want to give her all that money. She deserves every dollar the money, and you showed me so many clips of her backstage. Bless her heart. I wish he won. I love, I wish that he loved. Yeah, you're a big Cedric fan. Yes.
