Hey, everybody, what's going on?
Rob Setsruna, and we are here on the red carpet for the arrivals for the Survivor 50 live finale.
We are so back in just a couple of hours.
We are going to be watching the season 50 finale play out,
and I'm going to be talking to as many people as I can in this next little bit
until we start to watch the show.
So let's get started.
We're here on the Survivor 50 Red Carblin.
What a way to start things off with my first?
fellow journalist, Savannah Lou,
Savannah, how are you?
I'm so happy to see you.
I love talking with you.
It's like a treat out here.
You're always so kind and generous
with what I'm doing, so I appreciate that.
Game respects game.
Well, you know why?
I hear there's these mean girl allegations.
I need you to be the loudest megaphone in the room
to tell everybody I'm actually very nice.
Okay.
Well, my experience in Savannah has only been very nice.
Okay, I'll be you later.
I appreciate that.
So how are you feeling going into this big get-together?
with the Survivor 50 cast.
Dude, I am chilling.
This is amazing because at my last finale, I went to,
like, it was so crazy.
I was so nervous.
I couldn't eat all day.
Now I'm pre-jury.
I'm third boot.
We are kicking it.
Like, it is just going to be fun and celebration.
I'm going to get a little drink and done.
Like, we're going to have fun.
Yeah, what's the vibe with the pre-jury people?
Because it feels like it's like a fun club.
Yeah, okay, dude, I'm not going to lie.
Our pre-jury, like, I don't think we could have gotten any better
than what we have on our pre-jury.
Everybody's just so genuinely cool.
I'm happy to hang out with any of these people, like, one-on-one in any situation.
It's truly been a pleasure.
Was there anything that you watched play out over the rest of the season that you were really surprised about?
Not necessarily surprised.
I'll be very honest with you.
So I was pre-jury.
I went home separately from the jury.
First thing I do when I get my phone back, I text Rizzo, because I'm like, I need to know everything that happened during the season.
And when Rizzo got his phone back, he puts me in soap on a group text, tells us everything.
So I kind of knew everything that was going to happen, but it was just wild seeing everything in person,
especially over, over the airwaves.
I'm so sorry, Rick Devons is so loud right now.
Yeah, he's in your head.
He's in your head.
He's in my head.
No, you just go block it out.
I know.
I feel like I'm being haunted by Rick.
Yeah.
No, listen, Rick Devons, that is, that's how he gets in your head.
I know, seriously.
I'm like, thank God I didn't have to spend him those 26 days with him.
I wanted to play with him, but maybe it's good it didn't.
If Rizzo takes it home tonight, are you heading to IHOP to celebrate?
No, that man's going to take me to a steakhouse.
Yeah, I'm not doing IHop.
Well, no, yeah, I'm not going to do IHop.
They didn't even give me a sponsorship deal, so no, I don't even have to say I'm going to I'm going to HOP.
Do you feel like that Rizzo picked up anything from you from going from season 49 and now going back to back?
You know, I don't think so.
Yes, but, like, dude, if anything, I feel like I got stuff from Rizzo.
He's the one who was so encouraging for me to come back and play 50.
Like I thought, you know, there's no way I'm going to win.
I'm going to do terribly.
Like, why would I go back?
And he was really encouraging and just saying,
Saab, just do it for the house money, do it for the experience.
And that's how I did it, yeah.
Is there any alumni that you haven't met yet that you're really excited to see tonight?
Oh, my God.
I mean, it's wild because I've met so many of the alumni so far.
I would say any of the winners, the former winners,
I hear Michelle from 32's here, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing her.
What other winners are here, allegedly?
We'll see who turns up.
I know.
I'm excited.
Either way, I'm going to be on my best behavior.
Who's the funniest winner in the winner group chat?
Oh, shoot.
I'm not in that group chat.
Do you what?
Tyson, hey.
I didn't even see you.
I outshine your star.
Dude, I believe it.
The funniest winner in the group chat,
besides myself.
Let's go with Jeremy.
Jeremy.
Wow.
So Jeremy.
That's ridiculous.
That's absurd.
I love Jeremy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's very nice.
All right, Savannah, I'll let you get around to everybody.
Great to see you and talk to you soon, okay?
All right.
We're here with Rick Dev's.
You want to do the intro to yourself?
Dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
This just onto the survivor red carpet.
The man, the myth, the legend, R.O.B.C. Rob C. Baby.
Wow, what an intro.
Do you get tired of that?
Not as tired as the people that hear it get upset.
Yeah.
Because you're not still a news.
But you still are like, is a stolen valor that you still do it?
You know, as long as I'm Survivor's favorite newscaster, apologies to Savannah, I'll keep done, done, done my way. I'll never be done, done, done with it.
You know, your ride here this season has been so celebrated. What's been the wildest part of all this for you?
Honestly, the wildest part is that it's been so celebrated. I feel like, and you might know better, you're the historian, then I'm the exact same guy I was on season 38.
And so I figured I'd get the exact same reception, like polarizing.
Some love him, some hate him.
And it's been so much more positive.
And I don't know why.
Maybe I got less air time.
You know, maybe that's it.
But like, it's been super touching, honestly.
We recently interviewed Brennan Lee Mulligan on the podcast, who gave such a testimonial to you.
It was beautiful.
I would want him to speak at my funeral if I were you.
Absolutely what Brennan.
utilizing me. And I wish I had a two-minute monologue ready to just go off on how amazing
Brennan is. But I truthfully told him before I went out, like I'm going to try to channel my
inner Brennan because he goes big and he has these great ideas and he has such a way with
words. And so to feel like I made him proud makes me really proud. And I, dude, absolutely was
crying, listening to the nice things he had to say about me. Bugs Bunny, I mean, what up?
Doc, I'm into it.
Who played the most underrated game on Survivor 50?
The most underrated game is Emily Flipping.
Like, people are like, oh, she spilled all the secrets, she did all that.
But it didn't hurt her, and then it didn't really hurt Christian and I that much.
Like, we got out wounds.
We did it to ourselves.
So I think Emily played an amazing game.
I think she would have done really well if she'd gotten to the end of the game.
I don't think anyone felt burned by her.
and she's a chaos agent beyond belief.
So, like, amazing TV on top of all of it.
What player is going to win Survivor's next All-Star season?
I thought you were about to gale me.
I'm like, I can't tell you who's going to win.
The next All-Star season is going to be won by a player who is going to come in under the radar,
but blow everybody away, play much bigger than they played the first time,
be hilarious.
His name is Gavin Whitson, and he's in Irman, Tennessee.
In all your Survivor group chats, who's the funniest person?
All right, Fishback and Witson.
It's obviously down to the two of them, and I'm going to go with Gavin,
because he's a little less angry than Stephen and I are.
He comes in with just those Witsen Witticisms, whereas Stephen and I come in with a little bit of an anger humor.
You know what I mean?
I mean, you do know what I mean.
I get a lot of texts from Fishback, yeah.
Honestly, Rob, I've appreciated all.
The love all season.
I think you do such a good job of keeping it down the line.
Like, I know everyone's always heaping face on you, but it's all deserved.
And I just like, thank you for what you do, bringing the community together with all your shows.
And just keep up the awesome work, man.
Rick, thank you so much.
And I heard there's a new T-shirt that's coming out.
Absolutely.
Limited run only till the 28th.
Someone reached out, the same one who did Stephen's shirt for Escape.
Another bestseller, a lot.
The tribe and I have spoken.
and so it's a really fun shirt.
They did an amazing job,
and it's available now at the Devons.com or something along those lines.
Good luck tonight with Sia.
Dude, see ya.
See ya. Come on.
I think we all know that Ceres the Strong...
You're underdog.
You're underdog.
It's nice just to be nominated along with 23 other castaways.
All right, Rick, thank you so much.
Thanks, dude.
I appreciate it.
We are here with the great rocket scientist,
we're back here with...
Of course, the great doctor of robotics.
Here he is.
Dr. Christian Vicki.
Christian, how are you?
Doing wonderfully.
This is the first time I feel like I've had this introduction with you.
It's strange.
I don't know.
Yeah.
But yeah, but it's more good to be here.
How does it feel to be here at the finale of season 50?
Oh, my goodness.
It has been a rollercoaster.
It's kind of nice to see the roller coaster coach to the stop at some point
because it has been a ride.
But, boy, but what a finish.
What a finish it will be.
Yeah.
So how does this finale compare to the finale of David versus Goliath for you?
Well, I mean, this finale just has so...
I mean, being here more so than the episode.
Oh, okay.
Like, just being here?
I mean, this just feels like such a culmination.
Like, honestly, and I don't think this gives anything away
in terms of spoilers of the show,
but like sometimes it just feels good to feel a part
like the Survivor's Big Birthday Party, you know?
Like, you're invited.
I mean, yes, it's about the contestants,
but it's also like, you see the cruise joy.
And he's really sort of a part of it.
I remember, like, after Final Travel Council,
after everything wraps, I like started, like, crying.
at this after party and a guy comes over
and gives me a back rub to call me down.
It was Jeff.
And it just, and it was, it's just,
but it just felt, it just feels momentage
to be here for such an important
milestone in the franchise. I'm God I could be part of that.
You had a big transformation this season.
You went from Christian to Hubecky.
Was that your choice?
That was not my choice.
Jeff just started doing it.
And I take it as some kind of subliminal compliment,
some kind of nod to Cochran
with whom I share no similarities.
You know, I, too, really, have become Cester Nino to Jeff.
I really, he rarely refers to me as Rob.
So, I mean, in a way, I kind of love it because he kind of mixes the two,
so now people don't forget my first name or my last name.
So that's good for the name ID, as I'm sure you can think.
Did you have a moment in this season that you wish they would have shown that we didn't get to see?
Oh, my goodness.
There was a time, when Rick and I were planning to hide that fake idol at tribal council,
we had this elaborate plan
with the movie's scheme
but Rick wanted to make the fake auto look really good
so I'd give it in the parchment for the fake idol
but I could not find the twine for the fake idol
I swore I put it in my shoe where is it
and sure enough
I must have dropped it somewhere
so we looked around the two of us for it
and eventually we find it
and I'm like okay great we go back to camp
it's like Christian where's the twine
I'm having the twine I dropped it again
and so Rick very patiently
clearly's angry but it's very nice to me
I was so upset with myself
I somehow dropped this twine again
and at the point we're like,
we talked about it for months afterwards.
I can't believe this is the bumbling
I did around that island.
That would have been fun to show.
What player, in your opinion,
had the most under-the-radar
good game to you?
Oh, under-the-radar good game?
I mean, honestly,
I'm not sure she's under the radar,
but Emily Flippin,
she is so sharp.
I think she doesn't get enough credit
for all the stuff,
and I think the amount of respect also
she had from so much of the cast.
Like, one, she identified
that Ozzy had an idol on, like,
day five. She figured that out, and I didn't, like, believe her.
Like, what do you mean she has an idol?
I was like, oh, he did this weird thing in the bushes.
I'm like, I don't want to hear,
don't tell me any more about what's doing in the bushes.
I don't want to know.
But it turns out it was hiding an idol, and she was right.
And also, she just had the pulse on everything.
She could instantly slap together a plan.
She almost pulled together a minority vote split,
like, blindside on the first tribal council.
Which came out to me, like,
at the last minute, I'm like, I'm not sure I'm good with this, but if we could do it,
and she could have pulled her off. So Emily did a fantastic job.
Can you predict what player is going to win Survivor's next All-Star season?
Next All-Star season?
I'm going to go with Andy.
Wow. Okay.
Andy. I think Andy is a person who's like, he's got this way.
I never met him in person, this guy, but he's got this way of, like, of maneuvering where people,
seem to underestimate him, but he's got an incredible skill.
And I think that that's a great combination for any Survivor season, All-Star or not.
Who's the funniest person in all your Survivor group chats?
Oh, God.
I mean, just Q.
I mean, Q is just, any time he interacts with me, I'm just like, I need to study you.
I wish you could harness your powers of just pure improvisational chaos and humor.
He just does it.
And I don't know how.
Like, I watched him do, like, one of these, like, social media hits, like, and he just stands up,
doesn't think of like, that was brilliant.
How did you do that, Q?
Put you on every, in front of every camera.
It's incredible how funny he is.
I know you had issues with Jimmy Fallon this season, but who would be your perfect celebrity
to come in and make some twists on Survivor?
Well, I believe, first off, Jimmy and Fallon and I have found an understanding.
We can move forward from where we're at.
But ideal celebrity, I mean, just get a bit.
give me like a Neil deGrasse Tyson because then he'd come out at night,
talk about the stars, something very interesting and new.
And while he's talking about the stars,
people would distract him.
I'd go out and try to find a title or something.
I mean, yeah, after Rick is hyping up the stars,
maybe that'll get Neil deGrasse Tyson's attention.
For the exact same reasons, absolutely.
Yeah.
All right.
Christian, all the best.
Talk to you soon.
And yeah, can't wait to get out to Barnes and Nobles tomorrow.
Indeed.
Be there.
Barnes & Noble, Singular, perhaps, as well.
Take care.
Take care.
We are here with the incredible financial analyst, Emily Flippin.
I'm tired, exhausted.
I'm reminded about why live finales in L.A. are terrible and why we should just be doing them in Fiji on site.
Wow. Okay. Emily with the company line, and again, he's going to push back on the idea that we need the live finale to be back.
What's the issue with it?
I've been here since 9 a.m. I had about 15 different people touching my dress today.
everybody trying to fix the hair.
The hair is never what it looks like.
And I prefer that.
Yeah.
Do you want people to just let Emily be Emily?
Yes, yes.
Let Emily be Emily, which apparently is dirty and unkept.
Emily, I had asked a couple of people who is playing the most underrated game in Survivor 50.
And I heard from Rick and Christian that they said you.
You heard from the Emily be?
I'm shocked.
Who do you think played the most underrated game in season 50?
Oh, man.
I actually feel like both Christian and Rick,
Got a lot of credit, which was well due for the great games that they played.
Right now, I actually wish that I'd seen more of Tiffany's game based off the screen, obviously.
I hopefully would see more in the finale tonight.
But it does feel a bit, like, based off what I'm seeing so far, that, you know, maybe the edit hasn't shown how great her game was.
You were so close with Rick and Christian all through the season.
If they were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would you save?
I would just drown myself.
Thank you.
You wouldn't want to go on in a world where one of them has passed.
Yeah.
Are you shocked?
I literally said to Rick on my way out.
I was like, I'm the person going right now because the idea of having to go back to camp
without you there, especially after Christians vote off, just kill me now.
I feel the same way.
Just drown me.
Who's the funniest person in your Survivor group chats?
Oh, God.
I mean, Devons.
It has to be Devons, of course.
It's hard to compete with him.
I'm not witty though, so my bar's very low.
Who's going to win the next all-star season of Survivor?
Ooh, and not me, I guess.
No, let me think about that.
You know what?
And I think you could take it.
Yeah, he needs to have, this was like his Tony Game Changers game.
And then he needs to come back and then next time he's not a threat and he's going to be set up great.
Yes.
If they invite Kyle back, I think he's a very good.
Kyle is like way too normal to be cast on Survivor.
That's the problem.
And that's why he does so well because the rest of us are just a little off.
What's next for you after Survivor 50?
Bed.
My cat.
Yeah, not leaving my house for a good year.
Quite literally nothing.
All right, Emily, thank you for making some time.
Always great to see you.
And we look forward to more Blood on the Clock Tower.
Yeah, thanks.
Good luck getting content out of that.
Thank you.
This is Adam Klein.
How am I here?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Your audience knows that this is crazy.
I'm not blacklisted from.
Here he is.
A celebrated winner of millennials versus Gen X.
And he's back and he's here at the Survivor 50 finale.
I saw on Reddit that I would.
was confirmed not to be here.
Somebody said, no, I can confirm
Adam is not going to be here.
And they're wrong again.
Look at us now.
Look at us now.
What do you think of the season?
I've loved this season.
I love Survivor.
I always have.
I think it's been so much fun.
We've gotten to see the cast.
I mean, the cast really shone.
They all came to play and did a really good job.
And I think we have, look, like,
it's not going to be the flashiest winner.
It can't be anymore, right?
But there's still really, really, really good gameplay happening.
Did you have a favorite moment from the season?
My favorite...
Somebody else asked me this before, and I was like, damn, I should have come prepared a little bit.
I mean, obviously the Mr. Beast moment with Rick Devons was obviously super, super fun.
I think if the coin had flipped the other way, I think my...
Harry's whole game.
I don't know if that's getting to see every week,
Surrey work her magic.
Yeah.
Is a sight to behold,
and the fact that we get to do that in 2026
is such a privilege and honor for every survivor fan.
Who do you think had the most
in season 50?
I think that Aubrey has been underrated.
I think that she had a difficult start.
and was in danger if things went differently early on.
But the name of the game is, find people that you can beat, that think that they can beat you.
And it appears like she is doing that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How does season 50 compare to season 40 for you?
Wow.
I mean, that's a big question.
In what way?
Can we try to, can we make that a little more specific?
I guess what I want to know is that
did they improve on what they did in season 40
with what they did in this big All-Star season?
I don't know if it's improved.
I would say, let me, now that I've had a chance
to think about it, I would say like the gameplay
on season 40 surprised me
in that I thought that what has happened in season 50
with all of the big threats going out
back to back to back,
would be more likely to happen in season 40.
And the fact that Tony and Sarah were able to lead
whatever they were able to do
and get out the quote-unquote hyenas,
I still don't fully understand how they made that happen.
So the fact that this is, like,
the underdogs coming up tends to be more often the case
in these returning player seasons.
In all your Survivor group chats, who's the funniest person?
Who's the fun?
I think I'm not in enough group chats anymore.
Yeah, that's how I feel.
Yeah, I think I'm, like I said, I'm very surprised to be here.
I didn't know where everyone, what hotel, everyone was staying at.
I'm at the, like, well, I probably shouldn't say, I guess.
It'll be over.
You'll be checked out by the time.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm at the roadway in.
Just like, I walked here.
I just walk to the red carpet, so I don't know what's going on.
Okay.
It's got to be Tyson, though, right?
He's right here, so it's got to be.
He's right here.
He doesn't add me to the group chat, so I don't know.
Okay.
Adam, thank you so much.
Okay, great to see you.
Have a great night.
Thank you so much for talking to me.
I can't believe I'm here.
Yeah, have fun.
We're here with Genevieve.
Genevieve, how are you?
I'm doing well.
I'm nervous.
I'm excited to be here.
What are you nervous about?
People.
Like so many people.
many people in this room, so many lights,
tripping on stage, sweating
through my pants, saying the wrong thing.
What am I not nervous about?
Billy Eilish
since we last got
to speak. Has she
made any overtures to you yet?
No, but I feel in my heart that I'm probably going to have
a song written about me. It's going to
be a top 40 hit, so keep your eyes
out for, you know,
Genevieve, the Idol Wonder.
What's the pre-
jury group doing tonight?
Oh, we're going to the after
party. They're so kind,
graciously, letting us go to the same party
as the jury and the final five.
So, yeah, it's
pretty special, pretty big night for us.
We're going to get to go to the same after party as all the other
players. Maybe you two.
I have not heard that yet.
Oh, wow. Okay, so there's a hierarchy.
There's a hierarchy. Jury, non-jury.
Rob. Rob at the bottom.
And then Billy below Rob.
No, I'm kidding.
Yeah. So tell me from now watching the rest of the season.
Was there anything that played out post-re really surprised you?
Honestly, I did not foresee the coin flip.
That doesn't mean I wasn't here for it because I do love to gamble.
I'm very irresponsible in that way.
But I did not ever foresee the Mr. Beast of it all.
Would you flip the coin?
Yeah, because I do love to.
Well, no, okay, okay.
My heart says yes because I'm drawn to any type of gamble, but then when I'm in Fiji, I'm just scared of everything and never would put my hand up unless I knew I was going home because 50-50 is better than 1 in 6.
So, yeah, if there was a coin flip on the blood moon night, I would have flipped it.
Who do you think played the most underrated game from what you saw?
Yeah, shout out to Joe.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Shout out to Joe.
Yeah.
Apology not accepted Joe.
Just kidding.
This season of survival.
Yeah, from your from you interrupted us.
Maybe he was saying.
Oh, yeah, product placement.
So I would say Colby.
Two ideas.
He was very on board when I wanted to throw things.
Like he was willing to trust.
some of the crazy ideas that I had
and so yeah
I mean it's occurred to me
as I'm stream of consciousness speaking
that that's an incredibly self-serving answer
but I'm biased and so I'm going to say Colby
who's going to win the next all-star season
of Survivor?
Who's on the next all-star season?
We don't know yet.
That's why it's a tough question.
Yeah this is an impossible question to answer
but if you called it
happens you owe me man
who am I going to go with?
47.
All right.
You don't see him coming.
Yeah.
Well, Genevieve, all right.
Thank you so much.
Always great to catch up.
Have fun tonight.
You have fun tonight.
I will.
I will.
We'll see.
We'll see.
I have to be there.
So do you, man.
We're here with the Dragon Slayer.
Here he is.
Coach, wait, coach.
How are you?
Rob, what's happening in my man?
You doing good?
I'm doing great.
How could I not be?
I'm here.
I'm on the red carpet.
I'm talking to do.
I mean, I'm here.
A legend.
Man, let's go.
All right.
Well, Coach, what's the vibe tonight?
I think the vibe is, let's choose the right winner.
Let's end on a big bang of joy and hope.
Right?
And as you know, as this process goes, and like sometimes there's camps that are divided and bifurcated in the journey,
it's time to heal that, celebrate.
What about your journey?
because you know when we got to see you back in Heroes versus the jury yet
and the birth of the drag did you have any big worry of Survivor 50 you know for me
it was I hate to say this because I'm an epic answer for you but I don't okay I have no
epic answer because I was counting down the days I get to see my wife in 10 days I get to see my
kids in nine days so it was really just one big countdown I was I tried to just be
amicable and fun, but I just was really trying to get home at that point.
I thought, as an observer, you really elevated the juror look this season.
I saw, like, this is like, you were wearing suits on the jury, and we've never, you could have, like,
20 seasons ago, nobody would have ever worn a suit on the jury.
I mean, it was a little bit of a John Johnson style.
It's a revival time anyway now, and as far as what's getting popular,
Five years ago, my kids were like, we don't want to listen to this 80s crap.
Now everybody wants kind of that vibe and everything.
So it's a full circle moment to go Don Johnson on everybody.
I have more suits that are coming up in tonight's episode.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I had five suits out there, and wardrobe was just tickled pink.
I was putting feathers, his pocket squares.
And, you know, for me, fashion has always been really important.
My father never gave me money, but he would always buy me a new suit.
His father, professional heavyweight fighter, always had a new tailored suit.
So, like, that's just something like, we wore suits to church.
I remember the first time my father said, you don't have to wear a tie to church.
It was a full suit and tie every single Sunday until I was like 17.
He said, okay, today only, you can wear a sport coat, but wear a tie.
The next Sunday he was like, you can wear no tie, but only this time.
Yeah, so it's just something that's always been kind of like in that culture growing up.
From your perspective, who played the most underrated game that you saw in season 50?
Hmm, the most underrated game of Final 5 or just...
No, the whole cast.
I hate to say it.
I hate to say it, man.
Is it you?
No, it's not me. Hell no, it's not me.
I'm sucked. Listen, I'm going to give you one thing and that's the entertainment value.
Yeah, right?
He's not getting a shot, you tell me.
He's not getting the shot.
So, look, I mean, a dragon slayer sucks at survival.
Sliar sucks at Survivor, but he's great for TV.
You know, I'm here to bring entertainment.
That's it.
I'd say that the most underrated would be Rizzo.
Oh.
Yes, even though, like, and it was funny because I actually called Rizzo after the big tribal
council where he was just back there smiling.
He's like, there's no stress.
I'm actually able to witness all this stuff firsthand.
I called him and I said, I finally get it.
I get the bravado.
I get everything.
I said it's awesome that you can keep your cool in these moments.
He navigated the season really well.
We didn't know him, and that would have made a difference for sure,
but I think that he's the most underrated player of the season.
Okay.
Who's going to win the next Survivor All-Star season?
Next Survivor All-Star season?
You mean you're talking about like season?
A future one.
55?
60.
Yeah, sure as hell won't be me.
I'll tell you that.
You.
Me?
Okay.
Rob C. Bushmaster.
That's who I'm voting to come back.
Better be three million.
Okay?
Let's go, man.
All right.
Coach, what else do you want to let people know?
Dude, you know, I'm dropping a new Dragon Slayer single barrel bourbon today.
Whoa.
Yeah, it's coming out from New Louisville Barrel House,
playing the national anthem all over the place.
I'm just living my happy life, man.
I gave the 200 nicknames on my website.
They sold out in a week and a half.
Nice.
I'm going to probably do some one-on-one coaching.
You know, with the Dragon Slayer, why not?
Actually, was there a nickname you gave out this season we didn't get to see on the show?
You know, I did have a few, right?
Like the smiling fang was D.
She's like always smiling, but ready to strike.
Okay, that was one.
I gave one to Devons.
I had them planned.
The Gilded Moth was Q.
The person that's like a natural showboat that's flying around,
but then gets sucked into the flame like a moth
and completely consumes themselves in a big burst of fireball.
I was going to give them that as soon as I played.
The Bugsapper.
The one zapper.
The Gilded Moth.
There you go.
Yeah.
All right, Coach, thank you so much, okay?
Everybody, we're back here with Michelle Carr.
And Michelle, how are you?
I'm so happy to be here.
I know that the retention is dropping in this video right now
because everyone wants to skip to the actual people on this cast.
So let me just say, proud and excited to be here.
I have no idea how I've been angled my way into attending this.
And it's an honor to meet you in person, Rob.
Honored to meet you too.
Michelle, do you want to make a winner prediction?
A winner prediction.
I think it might be all.
Aubrey. If Aubrey can get through the next situation, but who do you think? What did you even
saying? Well, Tiffany was my preseason winner pick. I think Aubrey's got a good shot, though.
You predicted Tiffany. I did predict Tiffany. Okay. But yeah, that's my prediction, but how exciting
do we get to see it unfold live in front of us? We're going to be in the same room as everybody else
tonight. And with such legends like yourself, who made the show, and I see that it is.
All right. Michelle, thank you so much.
business to discuss.
What were we discussing?
Where were you yesterday?
I was on a plane
and I came to Los Angeles.
Okay.
Because I was looking for you.
Yeah.
I had some things
that I needed to give you
that I only brought yesterday.
Oh, man.
Custom made
Q skirt
that has
Q has a podcast on it.
And what happened to them?
What happened to them?
You gave them away?
No, I have them.
Oh.
But I'm not going to give them to you anymore because I could only give it to you in person
at that event.
All right.
We'll have to have another event.
I think so.
How are you being?
I'm doing great.
How are you doing?
Can I complain?
Having fun and enjoying the moment.
And it's one of those things that's like, we're finally at the end.
Yeah.
You know, something new can start now.
So, you know, I think if there was another reality, another universe, okay,
I think that you and your tribe, you guys had this game.
What the hell?
Listen, the tribe that I started on, had we not switched,
probably six of us would have probably made the merge.
On Earth 2, you guys are dominating.
Yes, yes.
And not only dominating in the challenges, just a vibe, the tribe,
The tribe, and just everything that we bring to the game was all there.
You got the two legends, Stephanie and Colby on that thing.
And we're straight running it.
Yeah.
You had the worst luck.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I lost the boat, got swapped with the worst crowd that I could have gotten swapped with,
and then I went home.
Yeah.
I didn't even cast a vote for 50.
Hansel on 50, but on 46, I won't.
canceled. You know what I mean?
It's one of those things. It happens
are the best of us. What do you
thought about Tiffany's game in season
15? They haven't shown much of it.
You know, so it seems like
every ideal that she's
thrown out there hasn't
happened. Like they're not taking her serious.
She mean business. She's
winning challenges. She's in the final five.
Her voice deserves to be heard.
And I don't think they listen.
Hopefully, tonight,
She can make them listen.
We'll see.
I don't know what happens, but Tiffany's game is drastically different.
And I like to say, I overshadowed Tiffany a lot in 46.
A lot of things that she wanted to do could have done was overshadowed by me.
So me not being there for her doing 50, it's probably been a blessing just because now you guys can see how awesome of a player and person she is without kill on her side.
So, yeah, it's been dope.
To, from your perspective, who was a generated player in this season?
I mean, I think Tiffany.
Yeah.
Even if you go all the way back to when Jeff was introducing all the players,
what did he say about Tiffany?
I don't remember.
What exactly?
Let me remind you.
He came, blah, blah.
He got to Tiffany.
Tiffany played alongside Todd was cute.
Tiffany's her own player.
Yeah.
So now you associate Tiffany, and you automatically think's cute.
And so Tiffany gets to slide in the background a little bit.
So she's underrated in that aspect.
And it's like she's playing with me and Charlie.
But she's not that player that folks are just going to jump out and say, you know what?
She has to go.
Like, Sarie.
And I don't know how Sarri does it all the time.
Everybody go in thinking she has to go, she don't go.
That's what makes her a legend.
So I think Underdogs would have been, for me, Tiffany.
Also, somebody like Jonathan.
I thought Jonathan coming in was Underdog.
Yes, he's a big challenge beast.
But the first time you started on play, he didn't have that strategic mind that you would say,
okay, he's dangerous enough to get rid of now.
The next all-star season of Survivor.
If I'm there, which, let me just say.
it would be a big mistake
if I wouldn't be there
and we're going to have to cancel
Christmas but if I'm there
I think
to get to the end and get a victory.
Do you think you need to make any adjustment
for the third?
But as great as I thought I was
playing now if I go back and look
what happens if I don't
go after Angelina?
If I just come, I'm chill,
I go want to work with Angelina
and her and Stephanie
and Angelina Brainsie and Mike White.
Do those three voting with me one time
in order for me to restore my vote?
I don't know, maybe.
Because Angelina did not flip.
Really, really,
until Emily Sher would tell that I was kind of targeting.
So maybe I could have done a better job of preserving,
but I was so ready to send somebody home that...
Hey, what happened to the Q Award
where you were going to get...
...to your favorite player.
Yeah.
Come in and
your thunder.
So what happened was this.
For every dollar I spend,
it has to make sense.
Get the,
the advertisement of Q is giving the 20.
I'm now spending one token.
You see what I'm saying?
Ciel left.
She came back.
Now she's back again.
Right.
Make up your mind, Cia.
I could have been there.
I'll stay, but I'm glad she's back for this season.
That's she should.
And it's one of those things.
there's still some lucky player like there that might win my 20K.
Yeah.
But it just might not be today.
Okay, not today.
All right.
Oh, it's great to see.
All right.
Thank you, buddy.
We're here with the amazing Surrey.
Surrey, how are you doing tonight?
I'm fabulous.
I feel awesome.
I look great.
You do look great.
I feel like that you have become like a movie star now.
No, I'm not a movie star, but I feel awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah, I love this.
I saw on social media you had a Survivor Panama reunion.
How was that?
We did, but Tina wasn't there.
Yes, yes.
I thought you were Tina from my sister.
There was a Timber Tina impersonator.
She looked like her.
Yeah, here, Phil.
Flashbacks.
Because I wanted to hug her, haven't seen her since X-O-A-A-A.
How far you've come since then.
Yeah, I mean, the blue.
Lessons have not stopped. The opportunities have not stopped from something you expected nothing from.
I just wonder, what's next for you? Because you could do anything.
I mean, there's a few things cooking in the crock pot.
Okay. Okay. Yeah. Tell me, how big of a deal was the rice this season?
Speaking of the crock pot.
To me, the rice wasn't a big deal, but apparently to Emily, it was.
I saw Tiffany made a video, and she said that when Emily made the rice, it really was not good.
I mean, obviously, I asked Emily, she who cooks the least amount of rice should be quiet when it comes to the rice.
You've been to so many of these live finalities.
What's the vibe of this one like compared to all the other ones?
This one has an energy, a life of its own.
You feel it.
You know you feel it.
It's so charged.
I don't know if it's because of season 50, or it's very.
Because so many alumni have in attendance tonight.
Usually a finale, you have one or two, but all the big names came out.
You're here, everybody.
All the big names came out for this one, and you can fill it.
Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you tonight, okay?
Thank you for making time, and congrats on all the success.
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
All right.
What is guys doing here?
Listen, I don't win, but I just have to come here and talk to people.
How are you doing?
Oh, Blender.
I'm so happy to see you here.
Here, I grabbed Tina.
I'll talk to Ozzy in a minute.
Yeah, but how are you doing?
Oh my gosh, I'm having the best time, aren't you?
I mean, this is so exciting.
I know.
I mean, so what's it been like to reunite with Colby here?
Oh, my gosh, I about cried.
I almost cried.
It's just so emotional, you know, that 26 years ago that he and I first did this crazy red carpet adventure together.
and to be here 26 years later.
It's a dream.
Let me ask you a question.
Did you run into Christian?
I have not ran into Christian yet,
but I'm looking for him.
My baby daddy?
I'm looking for my baby.
I saw a post that you were also,
you're very impressed with Jam Jam.
He's so impressive.
I know.
What is this?
I'm a good.
Cougar?
I don't know.
I might be.
Do you have a winner pick for the five?
people that are left.
I do.
Who is it?
Tiffany.
Okay.
I think she might have a chance.
All right.
Well, Tina, it's always so great to see you.
Thank you.
You're like, really so much energy tonight.
Oh, always.
This is me, right?
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you so much, Tina.
Have fun.
Have fun.
Take this quick.
All right, we'll make them.
Let's make you.
No, we're not going to make this quick.
We're here with the Great Survivor, Africa.
Here is Ethan's on.
I'm happy to be here.
I feel like this is, for those out there that don't know.
this is this is what it used to be like every season, every finale, right?
Yeah, you've seen it all, you've done all these red carpets, what's the vibe tonight?
The vibe tonight is there's a lot of energy, excitement, there's a lot of nostalgia going on,
people haven't seen each other for ages.
I saw Kobe and Tina hug live and in person.
Unbelievable, unbelievable.
It's like way back when?
Like way back when?
Yeah.
So, all right.
Now, season 50, they had a lot of big ideas.
A lot of famous people that they brought in.
What famous person?
How famous person would you have brought in?
Oh, that is a really interesting question that I'm trying to come up with an answer right now.
I would probably bring someone in like a bear grills.
Is that fair?
If he's a fan of the show, what would he be like a reward?
He would be a reward and a mentor.
Like let's deconstruct the Boston Rob and Sandra things and put up bare grills.
I feel he'd be like a better mentor in that.
the survival aspect of the show.
However, you don't really need to survive that much anymore.
What do you think of the chances that we get a Survivor All-Stars reunion pick tonight?
Survivor All-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-H-I-I-Roy.
I think in the hands of the survival all, I think it's feeling good.
Yeah.
I check Cal Shea and is looking good.
Yeah, me, you.
Because I was there.
Tina, Colby, Rob, Amber, Jenna Lewis.
Wow.
We got seven, right?
Seven.
We almost have a tribe.
Almost. Yeah, that would be more than a tribe.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's see if we're here with Charlie and Angelina.
It's going great.
There's a lot happening on this red car.
There's a lot happening.
A lot going on.
Is this okay?
This is great.
This is so exciting.
We've got people from, like, it's like the season 50 cast,
and then here's random people from the past.
There's some winners.
You know, like, the CPIA tower is here.
I'm like, every time I look around,
I'm like, whoa.
It's very cool.
Congratulations on the book, by the way.
Oh, thank you, Angela.
It's been going great, but it's not about me right now, okay?
The book is about us.
Yes, that's true.
Included me.
So, thank you.
I did write a book about everybody here.
Yes.
But, okay, so, I guess,
what question you have for Angelina?
Oh.
What did you say?
Angelina, tell people your first impression of me
and if it was accurate.
The reason that I misjudged the most, okay?
We are held at Ponderosso before the game starts, and we are not allowed to communicate with each other at all.
And Charlie was the most stoic, non-giving.
He was literally like this, resting bitch, the entire.
He's not giving him.
Anyways, I never met him.
I never talked to him, so I was like, bad taste in my mouth.
And then during the game, he was like really kind of like, on the mat.
He was, like, really dodgy too.
And I was like, ooh, he's suss.
So then the first time we met was the night.
got voted out and I see his
blues clue shirt in the distance on the
boat and I'm like oh it's Charlie
I'm like okay all right we're gonna meet
we're gonna meet Charlie
absolutely adore him
you're my favorite from the season
don't tell anyone
and just so grateful for you
my boot bro
yeah I feel like that you've been adopted
into David versus Goliath now
it's true it's true
am I on the Goliath tribe though
what tribe am I on
we transcend the Goliath tribe now
okay
We are on...
We are on the HBO tribe now.
The Transcendence.
Transcendence tribe.
Okay.
There we go.
We're dodging Tina Wesson, who's in front of the shot.
I mean, Tina's queen.
Yeah.
We're doing it.
Everybody gets it.
Yeah.
Yeah, we love Tina.
So, no, yeah, we're on table seven.
Okay.
Table seven.
What question do you have for Charlie?
Charlie.
Any regrets?
Never.
Only a couple hundred.
At least one or two.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, but, you know, it's, I think the sort of, you know, live life with no regrets is a little bit of a cliche.
I think it's okay to have regrets.
You just have to learn from them, right?
So that's how I sort of live there.
Would you play again?
Absolutely.
I'll always answer the call.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Angelina, I just want to ask you from your starting.
tribe is so interesting because there were all these people that they wanted to get rid of you.
All those people had like very untimely endings in the game.
Some of like the wildest luck.
Then there was Aubrey who was there with you.
And then her and Rizzo end up being the only people left from that starting tribe.
It's so weird how it all worked out.
Is it weird or is it an Etsy witch?
I did have to, I had, I did have some.
some fans say they got me an Etsy witch before I went out there so I don't know I don't know I mean I'm
I'm religious so but you never know it was weird it was weird it was weird I think it's
you know karma exists right right we were we were channeling energy at headponderance all that
bondie okay this was so fun I'll let you guys go have fun and I'll see you later tonight
always a pleasure all right we're here with the great winner of Survivor
Kareemohen, John Cochran, Cochran, how are you?
I'm a little bit under the weather, so my voice is a little messed up, but I'm overwhelmingly
excited to be here.
It's the first live finale, and who knows how many years, and what a historic occasion for it.
Yeah.
How do you put this night into perspective as a student of the game?
Oh gosh.
I mean, it's historic in the sense that, I was just saying to someone that, like, this
spans players from season one, Jenna Lewis, all the way to Rizzo and Savannah, and it's all
a little bit emotional to be realized that
contextualized in this group of
this lineage that I'm part of.
I feel like it's the end of
some sort of era. We don't know what's coming
in season 51, but this felt like the culmination
of these first 50 years and all the
game evolutions, all the twists, whether you like them or not,
all the interpersonal dynamics we never could have dreamed
of, ancient feuds being resurrected
in Kochanazi and new feuds being born
with other players. I don't know, there's been
so much to latch on to this season that it's just
been a fun ride. It's an emotional one
weirdly. This feels
like a very emotional night,
because I don't know when we're going to do this again.
It's true. I think that the live finale,
even though the immediate after show is nice,
and I see Jeff's preferences about it,
I think there is a certain sense of closure
you get when all the contestants come together
after they've gotten a chance to watch, and you see them with
their loved ones, and it humanizes everyone
so that we can finally put a bow on this
experience, and a lot of the ill will
kind of fades away when you're getting to celebrate
the season all these years, all these months later.
Are you enjoying this?
I'm not like being out in public
so the fact that I'm surrounded by a bunch of people
so I was slight a turn
but no, I mean the fact that I just spent
Todd for the
Ozzy came up to me
and had these very kind things
about how his biggest regret
was not treating me nicely
the first time that he played.
I'm like, oh, and you were a part
of season 15.
I was a little fleeting flashback
of Christian and I both
equally traumatizing Ozzy,
so yeah, even having my little,
my little impact on the season was fun.
South Pacific how more relevant this season
than it has.
You created Jay.
generational trauma for Ozzie.
And he worked through it.
That is true. Actually, that night, when that episode aired, I think it was episode five,
Christian texted me that he was sorry for dragging me into the whole mess.
So, Christian was a good guy about it, too.
But I think it's all water under the bridge now.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
It's a party now.
We've got Joe and Camilla and Jenna.
Here, let me turn this over.
Jenna Lewis, you do this interview.
Okay.
Yes.
I would like to ask, Camilla, you were on 48 with Joe.
Yes.
Finalist, finalist, final four.
I want to hear why Joe should win Survivor 50.
I think it is crazy to play basically back to back and make the finale twice.
Yeah.
Like, you have to be doing something good.
There is a reason people aren't voting for Joe.
All right?
So he's doing something good out there.
Under that logic, you could vote for me.
Rizzo too.
Both, both of them.
Yep, both of them.
But hold on, hold on.
Who's one individual immunity?
Oh, yes, that's true.
Okay, question for these two, wonderful ladies.
Okay.
What was the most impactful moment of your survivor experience for you first year?
The most impactful moment out of all the time's playing, yep, for both.
Who would like to go first?
Okay.
Losing Final Four fire making?
No, no.
know, like, oh, no, I lost.
But also it was like, in that moment, I had realized all the shit I had accomplished on Survivor,
and it was a huge, like, oh, my God, I thought I was going to be voted out first.
And I did all this.
So that was huge, big confidence boost.
Now some people would say I might be too confident.
No way.
But I'll rather be too confident than not confident enough.
That's true.
Mine would be my foot moving on All-Stars.
I would have won.
I don't care what they say now.
I know that I would have won.
If I had not moved my foot and I'd been final three, I would have won.
Because I would have voted out Rupert or Amber at the time if it was those final three.
And I would have gone against Robin Amber and I would have taken it.
That was really good, Joe.
You're natural.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, we have the best example here.
What's it like to be back together with the cast for the first time?
I guess actually, it's not simple.
You were there before the season.
But I bet the vibes are different now after the first time.
the season. I would say
specifically with these
two is there is a friendship
that has developed outside of the game and gone
through some hard times and these two
specifically have been super kind like
it hasn't always been easy and they've actually
been wonderful people so seeing them
again is like it's
it's refreshing because it's not in the game where
all these things happen. It's like real
people as crazy as it sounds. So see my friends.
Just friends actually. I just want to hang out with these people
and that's not true for everyone I'm 50.
True. I don't talk to everyone.
No, neither.
I mean, like, I try to talk to everyone,
but it's not like, not everyone wants to talk to me.
That's a good point.
Not everyone wants to talk to me.
I don't have any problem with anyone,
but I don't think everyone wants to talk to me.
Can I also just give Jenna some credit
because she said back on episode one
that, hey, you got to get out, Surrey.
And nobody listened to her.
She came very close to winning the game.
She did, and I told them from the beginning
that she can definitely.
take an inch and go a mile and then you watched her outlast everyone on my tribe at least she literally helped get them off like a pangong like it went in a row of all of Cila in a row she swept it but in our defense if I could go back I would do 10 million things different okay one of the I mean there's a million things I would do differently so there it is yeah she is definitely right but how about Joe is the last person left from Cila right yes yeah
I miss my friends.
I miss my friends.
I miss my friends.
But you know what?
Hey, honestly,
I couldn't be more proud of the group
because when you look back at everybody here,
what is cool for my kids to see is they're all in their own way.
So it is pretty cool to sit here.
And they're going to like trip out.
My daughter loves this one and this one.
Oh, my gosh.
And she's a whole torpedo.
Yes.
Camilla, is there anybody you're looking forward to meeting for the first time tonight?
For the first time?
Who haven't I met?
I feel like I just met everyone.
Oh my God, I haven't met Zeke.
It is Zeke.
Zeke is right there, and I have not met Zeke.
Oh, my God.
I mean, I got to see each and after like 10 years.
I haven't seen him in forever.
All right, well, let me let you guys meet everybody,
but it's so cool to talk to all three of you
and have fun tonight.
Go by, the tribe is spoken.
Yes, thank you.
It's so good.
Thank you.
I need $100,000 for my legma
and for Kyle's hair transplant, so please vote.
Help Kyle's hair, okay?
All right, I'm here with the man the mid the legend, R-I-Z, G-O-D, here he is.
How you doing, buddy?
Rob, I feel great.
I feel like potentially a $2 million person, one in five shot at winning.
Second straight finale ever.
Only two other people have said that.
Amanda Kimmel and Russell Hans, and I'm part of that a luxurious group.
If you win tonight, are you headed to celebrate at IHOP?
I don't know if I would get the Translacious Pancakes.
IHop didn't give me the call, so I think that's more.
Sophie's deal.
Yeah.
You know,
I thought I said,
did you just have a new endorsement
that rolled out today?
I did, I did.
Listen,
mosquitoes are really bothersome
in this climate.
So what better way
to kill those mosquitoes
than getting a thermosel?
Wow, okay.
Yeah, tell me.
So, yeah.
I'm moving up in the world.
Survivor's giving me
great opportunities
to kill those mosquitoes.
Yeah, that's incredible.
Yeah.
Big plans for after Survivor.
What's next for you?
It's a great question.
I don't know, Rob.
Listen, I've talked about wanting to be one of the greatest players in Survivor history,
and we'll have to see if that comes into fruition tonight,
but I would love nothing more to continue that legacy in playing Survivor
or see what opportunities.
Who knows? Maybe I'll be in the castle like you did.
Maybe.
We'll have to see you.
From your perspective, who played the most underrated game in season 50?
That's a good question.
I would say myself, honestly, I think I've gotten a lot of bad rap, a lot of bad press.
I can't say why they gave me bad press.
They hate me because they ain't me.
Honestly, humbly.
Like, I think I did a really good job.
I came in Survivor 50 with honestly
a pretty much 0% chance of winning.
And I feel like I did pretty good.
And what's it been like for you
that I feel like that in the last couple of weeks,
I feel like that people have really started
to justify you online.
And this is like a...
I think the six-pack is a great look.
Liz God loved it.
But it's very...
I'm very polarizing, Rob.
I was polarizing in the beginning.
I'm going to be polarizing at the end.
Some people think I'm in...
idiot for not going to the end and being a zero finalist with Ozzy and Seri.
Some people think I'm a genius, but that's the luxury of Survivor.
Yeah, and so many questions for you about the game.
We'll have to wait until we'll see how it all played out.
But looking forward to it.
Thank you, R.O.B.
Thank you, Rob.
Stick here, buddy.
Thank you, buddy.
All right, we are so excited to be here with two of the great winners here of the new era.
It's Mary Ann and Rachel.
Hello.
How you doing?
Listen, I'm so excited to be back here at a live finale for the first time in seven years.
Yes, I feel so good.
I feel so good that I've got to be pretty dumb.
And everyone can see how beautiful I can be when I'm not starving on an island.
I mean, you're always beautiful.
And now I'm like an 11, you know, before we were 10s.
I do like the ability to come.
You know, you always watch the finale.
Yes.
All the people you've just watched Starved to death are now in these beautiful gowns.
Yes.
Oh, beautiful.
So wonderful.
So this is the first live finale for both of you.
And so I guess my question, freeze, do you have any questions you want to ask me about anything of, like,
Are you, are you, you understand everything that's going to happen tonight?
Do you even like me?
Is what I want to ask you.
That's the, everyone has to ask that to you on a finale now.
Sure, sure.
Or even the premiere.
Yeah.
I want to guess who the random child is who's going to vote for who they think is going to win.
Oh.
A few survivors I saw brought their kids.
Yes, yes.
Okay, should we take a bet?
Is it going to be a survivor family member or is it going to be a random kid from the audience?
I vote for, I think it will be a survivor family member.
We love family.
It can't be a person that's, um,
on the jury or something, right?
It feels like,
that feels too,
too connected.
Yeah, a little...
Dad loves, blah,ble.
No, I'm going for, like,
the, I know Ars is here with this child,
so I'm going for Aris' kid
if they allow him to be mic'd up.
That's who I want to do the vote.
Although, it's going to be a random kid from the audience.
Oh, or maybe...
Or maybe...
Or I didn't see Rob and Amber if they had their kids here,
but that'd be fun, one of the Amberlings.
I think they were flying without kids,
but I don't know for sure.
I don't know for sure.
What about, in terms of,
of as season 50 has played out.
Have you had any things that really stood out to you?
Oh my gosh.
I think the Mr. Beast coin flip was,
and I know I'm so bad saying it,
but that was such a big standout,
seeing Devin's just, you know, almost dying,
flipping it, getting it right,
and then Stephanie just being ceremonial
and serenomency booted out.
That was such like an edge of the seat moment.
I can't help and go back to the people.
Like I love, I love.
specifically Rizzo getting to know
all of these different people from Survivor
we had the Colby stuff in the
pre-merge, we have the Surrey stuff
stuff like it just, it's wild
that, you know, someone like Rizzo
is just... Or when Ozzy and Rick
talked about their dads or being a father.
That one, I was crying a little.
It was a great moment.
There's a lot of good interplay
between these different, like,
eras that really don't have as much,
like, they have more in common
than you would feel like
when we do.
talk about old school survivor and new school survivor.
Marian, also Jonathan, here he is, heading into a finale.
Have you noticed any big changes from the 42 game?
You know, I've always been saying Jonathan had always had the seeds of the game that we're
seeing in 50 in 42, but I feel as if it's been refined a little bit more.
Like I remember a moment when he wanted to talk to someone about a move and then he said it,
then he went back and said, wait, no, no, no, what do you think?
So I think that it's like he had the acumen in 42 and now he's really refined it.
And, you know, me being selfish, I'm like, yes, let a 42 representative win.
And then, Rachel, is there anything in particular you're hoping to see tonight at the live finale?
Oh, um, fair making maybe.
Try it out.
We'll see what the audience votes for.
I think the audience voted for.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
All right, well, we'll let you get inside.
Thank you so much.
So great to see you both.
