Ontario. Hello, everybody's coverage of Australian Survivor V-World. I'm your host, Shannon Gass here for another pre-season podcast. I feel like I've been saying that for a very long time. This is our final pre-season podcast before we get into the actual season. And it is a tradition that we couldn't miss, especially for this season where we have so many legends who, honestly, I will say, I'm not the expert, we're about to find out,

but I think look pretty good in their cast photos. So we have Issa Look today with the wonderful Bryce Isaiah. Bryce, thank you for being here. It is an honor. It's a tradition. We can't break the tradition. And yes, I mean, this is like my playfield. We have survivors all around the pond, the world,

and they're all together for once. So we got to see what they bring in with Issa look. The stakes are ever so high. The stakes couldn't be higher. Look. They're about to compete to be like, You know, the Olympics of Survivor, which country is the best of Survivor representing. We're about to find out which country looks the best in their cast photos, which is so much more

important. Like I say that as a strategy nerd, but genuinely today we will find out where people look the best in the world as represented by these players. And Bryce will decide for us. And also, yeah, I don't know what could be better than that. I feel like we're going to have like an international calendar right here, Bryce. Yes, I feel like it looks. looks are subject, you know, looks are subjectional.

I think that's the word I'm trying to say. But it's not necessarily about subjectional. Right? No, right. Subjective. Yes, subjective. Yes, subjective, right? But it's more about the pose.

It's more about the allure. So it's not about like what you look in like. It's about how confident, how strong that pose is. Because, you know, the eyes are in. But beauty is in the. eyes of the beholder and today my eyes are the beholder and i can't wait to see what everyone is about to bring because this is such an exciting season yeah it's the pose but also i will say in this it's the fashion people are bringing the look in this in this season like are they like you know leaning

well against the tree i've looked at these cast photos a lot but i haven't like really really looked to be like i'll be back at that same tree in samoa that they go back to every time we're like that's that one tree So we shall see. I'm very excited about it. I'll bring up the PowerPoint presentation. So as you can see, I've made... We've come a long way. Thank you.

I'm very proud of my PowerPoint presentation. For the people who are just listening to this is going to be a tough podcast. I guess if you know the cast photos well enough, which honestly we've had them for a long time, you should be fine. But if you're just listening, I have a PowerPoint presentation.

Australian Survivor Australia v. World is a look, a presentation by Shad and Gus. Now, I went through a lot of efforts. to find high-res photos to your standard, Bryce. And I can only hope, yeah, I can only hope that they live up to the expectations. But this is this pure cast photo. 14 players, what stands out to about the full cast from the get-go? For some reason, it just seems like a small cast, right?

Like, I don't know why sometimes, yeah, like, I normally when I'm thinking like Australian Survivor, it's such a huge cast, or even just in US Survivor with the two tribes, sometimes it just, or three tribes, it makes you seem like it's a lot of people, but it really is not. It doesn't look like a lot, but it's definitely an eclectic look. I see pajama pants. I see leather pants. I see a lot.

There's a lot going on in this look. I don't know who is standing dab straight in the middle with his leather jacket on hands on the hip. He is center attention or what they, main character. giving me very much main character energy. But yeah, this definitely does not look like a Survivor cast photo. This looks a lot. A seventh grade, you were at recess and your teacher was like, come everybody together.

Let me just take a photo. And this is the photo. You were so right about so many things. Firstly, that's David. We'll talk about it. I have described him already as the main character of this season. So you're completely right. He is kind of in the middle standing.

He looks so large. And I think that that's the other thing I want to talk about. about this season, well, this photo, I did look at this a bit and I thought, are they, they're edited in, right? Like, I think, I don't think they're all together because, like, look how big George is, like, no offense, like, George, I know if you know about the dad but, like, he's quite, he's very tall on the right there. But if you go to the Australian cars, now he's very tiny. He might be standing on a downward slope, but I kind of think both of these photos are just, like, edited in. And I don't think these people are standing

next to each other. And I think the sizing is, um, being a little while. Right. Yeah. Or George could be leaning in. It could be a little bit of a hill. And he's like leaning back to a long gate the King George to make him bigger because he is definitely larger in life. His name precedes himself. But yeah, now that you say that, like, yeah, George is not that tall. Yeah. I mean, you can see the other photo. I just, I think that. But you're right. There are eclectic looks. As you said, kind of, Surrey, kind of with the almost yoga pajama pants. I, if I was playing Survivor, I would 100%. be wearing pajamas. I never want to be out of my pajamas ever. I'm pretty much never am. Like I will take it far. The extent to which I will wear pajamas to places during COVID,

I wore pajamas everywhere. I went to the supermarket. I mean, we weren't allowed to go anywhere, but like to the supermarket. And I always remember the day that lockdown ended. And I went out of my pajamas and I thought, I don't think this is socially acceptable anymore.

But even now today, I wear pajamas to the airport. Yeah. I don't ever want to get out of my pajamas. Yeah. For me, it's like workout shorts and like compression, in like a workout like pants that you can wear over your shorts. That's like an iconic look

and something that I will wear on Survivor because you have the long legs or that cover your legs, but you still have the shorts so you can break up the combo in at night. But yeah, I can definitely see Tony

with his cargo pants, classic Tony. But yeah, it's just so interesting. Like they're just, it just looks so random. Like the lady standing to the left of Surrey, like is,

I'm sure. Is that an Halloween costume? Is that like, I'm just confused as to, there's just so much going on here. Is it winter? Is it cold? Is it warm? Like, I completely agree with you. This is an eclectic mix of fashion and weather. You're completely right. Let's move it on. So, yeah, the Australian cast, who I also think are edited in. Who here do you know? You mentioned King George. Are there any other faces that are recognizable to you? is that is that kirby standing next to yeah that is Kirby yeah okay I know Kirby uh hold on wait let me get in closer it's not that small okay it's it's this is high res this is so it's like it's crisp like it's satisfying how crisp these photos I did not it is very clear who is the the gentleman to the left of John with the tank top white tank top

there's no John but that's a Oh, the one other guy who's not David or George is Luke. Luke. Okay, hold on. Let's just take a close look. Okay. We, I don't know. I want to play with Luke.

Uh, yeah, this is, again, just all over the place. You got leather pants. You got Kirby, like, they're ready to play kickball. King George just got off the beach. There is a seance going on at some place in time. and the lady next to Georgia is going to give a seance that we can have Luke who just looks delicious. The woman standing that's the Luke,

she's going on a hike. And then we have a Sunday school teacher at the end. Like, it's just a lot going on in Australia over here. But I love it. Because I feel like it speaks to their each individual style of games. So I think that it will be fun. But yeah, just all over the place. And I'm assuming that's what they was going for with the global survivor.

But I mean, yeah, well, can we get a theme? Can we get a color? Can we get a season? Yeah. Well, Sean, I don't think anyone's ever described Shawnee as a Sunday school teacher, but that is wonderful. I will get into this fashion because you are right. It's, it's the theme was be yourself and themselves are very different.

I think, I think what we're seeing is this could be quite an interesting season of maybe clashing big personalities. I think that that's what, because let's get into it. Okay, so here's the Sunday school teacher. This is Shawnee. You might have heard the name. She's something of a, I don't want to, I don't want to like, you know, color your analysis of her, but she's something of an icon. These people are all icons.

What do you think of Shawnee here, the pose, the red dress? What do you think of Shawnee? So the dress looks way different in her solo image than in the group image. But again, she's starting off of a very strong pose, hand on the hip, which signifies to us that she's coming to play. She's a killer. But then on the other hand, her hand is down to the side. She's here with this global survivor or like the world survivor.

And so she's ready to play. The dress is cute, flirty. It's a fun print. She's got some accessories. Her hair is kind of like she's got it clipped up. She's giving us a smirk. Looks like we could see a little bit of like her sports bra underneath. It's very flirty.

Like this is a very strong pose. I don't know how it's going to cut it. when it is the world survivor, but she's given, she's ready to play. I can see why she's an icon. Yeah. This looks like this could be a magazine cover,

the framing of the leaves with the background. It looks great. I do love a cute little dress. Like for me, I've got two sweets, pajamas, which is like, that's 90%. But then if not, if I have to wear something, a cute little dress every time, Shoney invented, I think I have this right.

Shawnee invented the cute little dress. The whole concept of cute little dresses, I think that she was behind that. So Shawnee, on every season she's been on, this is her fourth season. She's always wearing a cute little dress. She's got the big clip. Like, Shawnee is there to serve looks

as much as she's there to serve blind size. And I think that this picture really does show that. I love it. It's the chunky hand accessories, multiple, like, I'm here for. It's all about the accessories. And again, for me, it's her pose. It's a very strong pose.

She's looking directly at the camera. So she is making direct eye contact with whoever she's working with, whoever she's going to blind side. She is looking right in her face. And I feel like Shawnee might be willing to play an honest game here. Like, swing hard if she needs to, but I feel like she's going to be wanting to work on her social connections. I mean, okay, the more we're talking about her,

the more I feel like I can see the waves in the background moving. And I can see Shawnee doing what she needs to do here. but I mean this is just the first one so it's it's hard to see what we're up against strong start this is a great very very strong very good of very very strong on honestly almost no notes I'm like this is very good yeah now this is this is Sarah okay so interesting with Sarah to describe it she's got the buff on as a top and then she does have like gym shorts and then what is hanging from her is that like a sarong like hanging from her gym's shorts Is that the, it could be her shirt.

Like, I don't know. But it looked like she just got out of yoga class, got out of Pilates, and it's here on the island. But listen, I don't even care about the look. I do not like the stance. She's smiling, which I love very beautiful. But Bebe off the bat, I see two thumbs. Like, her hands are open, not even closed hands.

I am worried for her in this season. I feel like, how many times have she played? she's only played once and she played in 2017 so I think she she's done reality TV the longest time ago and I think she's even played yeah even played survivor and just a real last play about about 2017 so yeah but she's played but serri's done big brother done the traders like Sarah's had the longest layoff of actually playing these games of anyone on the cast the pose gives it it gives like I'm worried I feel like this might be a goldfish swimming with sharks only just because of the pose. Like her hands kind of signify like she's in motion, but they're open. We can see the thumbs. I'm worried she might be a little messy.

I don't know. I'm just worried. You know, I'm really big on the thumbs and how you are posing. And this gives me like kind of she's in motion. And so I don't know if that is going to show us on the island that she's trying to make things happen, but she is not having the numbers. Like, I don't know. I'm just, I'm very worried for her because she's a big.

beautiful girl very athletic fit i'm loving a little buff on top of the shirt like but it's the pose shannon the pose it's an ingredient chop yeah i think sarah was done a little dirty here because sarah's actually a professional model obviously she's beautiful yeah she's beautiful but the thing is she knows how to pose she knows how to pose and this photo as you said it looks like she's almost in motion it looks like she was going to her eventual pose and they snapped it right before she posed and then used that is the final picture. And I feel like, yeah, I don't feel like that was the shot she intended. She is a bit of a messy player, so that is a good read.

And yeah, the outfit is just confusing to me. Like, what is hanging out of her shorts? I must know. I think maybe I'll know on the season if it's some sort of like so wrong, which would be a very intelligent choice because that's kind of like it could be anything. Like you could make that a little pillow. You could make that a blanket. Like that's versatile.

But then she's not wearing a shirt. And that's, you need a shirt. So even for a shorter season. And so, yeah, I mean, I think questions are bound here. Because it may they... Yeah, well, but we get a really good look at the buff. And I want that buff so badly. Who do I have to kill to get that buff?

But I will say, I feel like it's not the strongest shot, but it's not her fault. It's the photographer. It's styling. Like, I don't know that it's on Sarah. I mean, I don't think, listen, the pose is opposed. Like, if this were like a workout magazine, this pose will be chef's kiss but baby this is survivor

and so those type of poses don't always translate and over here it's not translating for me because specifically with the is a look it is a proven science me as a former player I've been in front of that camera and I know what that feeling

and it's like you need to serve and look at that camera and let that camera know what you are going to be giving no matter if they're taking it before you're ready you got to some thumbs should be away them thumbs is out ready to play don't show me thumb yeah how dedicated are you to this

just tuck your thumbs in from the second you get on set like yeah so I'm just saying so it's giving like we're going to know her cards from the get-go I don't know if she's not going to be able to get in with an alliance or people are going to know she's coming something but I mean hopefully the Issa look gods could be wrong

because she could kill it but beautiful girl love workout outfit but listen a stronger pose, but just tuck your hands, put them behind your back, or something. Yeah, hide those thumbs. No, look,

the read is very good because what we do say about Sarah is she's a very like intuitive player. She makes connections really easily, but the thing they got her last time was it wasn't subtle and people were onto her so quickly. So I think that you see,

you've seen that here in her pose. Here's Luke. Well, he crossed his arms. That's exactly what you just asked for. Thank you, Luke. Luke. Have I like, what's Luke's name? I feel like, you know what?

I just want to make sure I'm supporting these Australian survivors, Luke. Luke Toki. Okay, Toki. Let's just, okay, here we go. Okay. It's going to be a lot of stuff about his sick kid, though. Oh, well, listen. Yeah, poor.

But listen, Luke is giving me hunkerama, okay, with curly hair, the buff around his neck, a quintessential winter pose, but I even like about this, is that Luke isn't giving us the arms crossed straightforward. It's to a little tilt to the side. It's almost like his elbows are out first. And that for me is like if your elbows are out first,

you're using that as a weapon, right? Like, I feel like Luke is not about to play with us this season. It's a very strong pose. he's looking directly at us. Luke is mature. I just, you know, just look, I feel like he's looking into my soul. I like the shorts that he has on

with the green top, very survivor-esque. Okay, this is again, Luke ain't come to play. Luke recognizes that he is in Survivor, a you versus the world, and he is ready to verse the world. this is this is strong this is very strong i feel as you said like the arms crossed a little bit to the side but then he's looking at you straight on straight on i love the way they

frame these pictures with the leaves and everything and then the background not a tree to be seen yes yeah the backdrop is great that's the credit to the photographer it's a very strong pose i think the layering in the outfit is good i think the white is ill-advised i will say that because it's going to get so dirty that's your battle scars that's how you can tell people you was you was playing I love it I love the color blocking on the shorts lets me know Luke's a little hip

okay we can tell he got a body he's got the buff around his neck Luke ain't coming to play okay but I can't even wear white because I will inevitably spill something on my white I mean but it's not like he's going to dinner, like he's going to play Survivor. So I like the little white tech guy.

I wanted to be dirty. So in every scene that you're in, no matter if it's the first day or you make it to the end, it'll look like you were on Survivor for a long time. So listen, smart. Listen, Luke's a genius. I see it. Do you know how long this season is? I know it's short.

How short is it? I don't actually know that. I think we've heard like 16 days, we're like 100% sure, but around. Yeah. So this actually might be smart because it'll look like he's played 50 days. yeah people can't say that yeah so it doesn't matter if he goes home first or he stays to the end by day one that shirt will be disgusting

and I like to bid on it yes he is doing an auction for charity so is that a red cap hanging from the shorts so when we went back go back to the yeah I thought that was the print of the shorts yeah I think it's like color blocking yeah like that's what I'm saying like it's on the shorts yeah Luke got a little style.

I like, I'm liking what Lucas is putting down. That's cute. That's okay. Is that a real cap or is that the print of the shorts? I think, oh darn it, it might be a cap. Because I thought it was the print of the shorts.

I was like, that's a strange print of the show. Like, why just a cap? But now on this, look, you can see it's clearly protruding. Like, that's a cap. Yeah. Okay.

That's a hat. Now, okay. We're going to have to deduct a couple of points from Luke. Now, mind you, Luke, I do like the look of the hat, but, Babeay, for your survivor, for your survivor, it's a look photo. Just unsnap the hat, okay? Because it's given like it's a part of the outfit. So now I'm a little, now, okay, now I said all of those nice things.

Thank you, Shannon, for pointing that out because this matter, right? Because for me, now, my dream, everything that I said stands. but this gives me that like Luke looked in the mirror Luke was prepared right like this is the outfit this is the like Luke came prepared but that that is what is going to throw Luke off in this game is that like Luke is prepared

he's ready to play a winning game but if something does not go how it should go if there is a tribe swap if he is placed off I feel like it is going to throw Luke off and that's what that hat signifies for me because the fact that he had to have that hat in his solo photo as the accessory now don't get me wrong it eats down it's cute but baby we don't need it for that and so that is letting me know that like you in your mind know how you want to play and know

how you want to get how you want to execute in this game but in the game of survivor you can't play like that because they're constantly throwing twist and turns at us luke yeah i'm going to make a bold statement now two three photos in two people have had had things hanging from their shorts. Nothing hanging from the shorts ever. Don't do that. What are we doing? We're doing that.

Like, you don't need it in the photo. Like, if you want to accessorize on the island, like you have your little bag of accessories, not your bag of tricks, sure. But why is it hanging from your shorts? Like, you have to get it all into the photo. God forbid they don't see that. I have a hat.

Like, just leave the hat out of the photo. Put it on. Yeah. Well, that might kind of cover his face in a way. Trust me, we're going to see Luke's face. Okay. Yeah. We're going to see it.

space. But again, I like the accessory, again, like if this were a model shoot that we need to see the hat, it would work. If it was a hat ad, yeah, if it was a hat ad, sure. But I guess also we did spend like a long time being like, is that a hat? So it actually would be a pretty bad hat ad. If you have to be like, is that a hat? I mean, but it's a conversational piece, right? Yeah. Then once we figure it out, it was like we need to go get the hat. So actually it's genius. Yeah. We spend a lot of time talking about whether it was a hat. So that's pretty smart marketing campaign. Put it right in people's face.

They just look right past it. Make people look for it. They really think about it. So we're on to something. Marketing people, you can have that for free. Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm sure Luke thought of it. So listen, we got to give it to Luke.

No, no. No, we thought of it. That's ours. Please. We will take commission. Okay. Here's Kirby. You know Kirby.

Okay. Yeah. You know what me? I love. Kirby is my girl. I love Kirby again. now this is an interesting pose right because again it's not the quintessential arms cross it's kind of like fist over fist but kirby knows no thumbs right and also i don't you feel

like kirby is giving us fist to fist so i really feel like kirby is giving us like the fighting stance like nuck if you buck you could get some but kirby's like i'm classy so i'm going to put it down like this so these people can't tell kirby is giving us a beautiful smile. Kirby has nothing hanging from her shorts. She put her hair up. Kirby's ready to play. But I really feel like Kirby is really saying to us like

I don't know if you've seen like movies or fight videos. People are like, what's up? What's up? What you like? You know kind of antagonizing you. That's what Kirby is doing right in front of our face with their hands like that. Because that really she like, pop all. Like

I feel like Kirby she practically almost won her season I was rooting for Kirby this is a very strong pose Kirby's giving us very smiling friendly hair up Kirby like I don't got to do too much I don't need to put a sarong on my hip I don't need to clip a hat I'm just giving you my fist and a smile and that's all so I like this

this is this is a very interesting and new pose that we have not seen before and only like Kirby could bring it to us I feel like she's coming in with good energy just like refreshed friendly like you know I feel like Kirby going to catch people off guard because obviously anybody that has seen Kirby season you're going to love her right off the bat

but which you're not ready for is her having them fists ready you're not even going to know so when you about to do some Kirby about to bop uppercut you you're not even going to see it coming she's going to throw other people's games off so I am excited to see what Kirby is going to do this is a very interesting pose I like it

Kirby a thumb to be seen. I'll say as well her shirt that says ballet. I try to Google this. I think that it's an indigenous, in an indigenous language. That was so hard to say. I say that 10 times fast. I think it said it maybe means underneath in an indigenous language. I don't know if it's like an indigenous brand. I know she champions a lot of that, obviously, as the indigenous representation on the season where representation is so severely lacking. When they even had like the flags of the countries, hers was the indigenous flag. So that's an incredible thing to have here on the season, even though, of course, we want more of it generally, but for her

repping that, in her first season, she had the indigenous flag swimsuit, which became, I think, very iconic. And now she kind of has that represented on the shirt. So I think that's really great. I will say, we're getting dangerously close to seeing the tree. Like, we're getting more and more of the leaves until we're going to see the trunk really soon. It was blurry in the other photos. And now it's like, we're in the tree. We know this photographer clearly. He has a thing for trees because it's interesting but the back

it does help the background does look a little different. It's like same same different different but interesting and then like that's the buff okay because the buff almost blends in with Kirby's sleeve and I love that because I feel like Kirby is saying to us

like I'm survival I'm survival I'm survivor I'm like I'm in it yeah she talked about in it Okay, yeah, I love Kirby. This is very high for me. Okay. You don't have to do so much.

Yeah, that's, it's true. It was simple. Just, these are very, honestly, right. All of these could be different magazine covers. We've got a hat ad. We've got a workout cover. Shawnee could be in a campaign for almost anything.

Like, Kirby looks wonderful. Like this, this is all about a calendar. They're all like cover stars, I think, really. I, I agree. No quantity. Is Janine? Oh. You had a lot of comments about Janine in the group, in the cast photos, in the tribe photos.

You said it's maybe a little bit of a Halloween outfit. Janine, thank you for taking heat and getting rid of that hat. Luke, take notice. Okay, you wear the hat for the group photo and not in here. Okay, now I was being a little hard on Janine. Now, this is an interesting photo here. Again, quintessential winner post. hands across, but we see some of her hands at the top, which is not a bad thing,

which means that, like, she's not, she's social. She's going to be here to play. You work with me. I work with you. But it is just Janine's lore that I'm, it's, it's dark, right? But not in a bad way. Like, it's just, it's dark the way her dark hair, the patterns of her cover-ups. You know, we used to call them sweepers back in the day.

her necklaces, right? Like I feel like there's a dark energy and I don't mean that like dark dark. I mean like Janine might be out here playing. Janine going to be out here like not really for the he he ha ha. Yeah, she's got her hands out. She's going to make friends. But I feel like Janine might be stabbing people in the back.

Janine might be getting in the alliance and mowing over people. Janine like very, very ominous. Like not really. She's smiling, but is she smiling? I almost feel like if you squint your eyes and turn your head, you're like, is that God? Like, I don't know. Jania, she's giving me something here. It's like she's got like this energy that is very interesting.

And it's almost like trusting. It's almost like it's alluring. But I feel like you don't just make it to A.U. versus the world without having a little to you. So I, she is, I mean, this look is fabulous. I mean, I was not expecting for the close up to give this. The necklaces, the buff, her hair presentation.

Again, she's doing what Luke did a little bit like with her hands crossed, but she's like stepping back a little bit. So it's not right in front of you, which again is saying like she absolutely is saying like, bitch, I ain't here to play around. I'm here to win. However, I'll make inroads. I'll make connections. I'll work with who I have to work with.

There's something very interesting. Like, tell me more about Janine. Is she like spiritual? Is she like into yoga? There's something like I'm picking up something on her spirit. Well, I was thinking that the outfit kind of looks like he's kind of coming from yoga, but also kind of coming from a psychic rating. So I get why you think that.

Bryce, how do you feel like juice? Like a juicer? Like, is she like? What do you mean? Is she what? I don't want to know where that question goes. Wait, so you're asking me what I think about juice? Like as in juice from the sons of anarchy character juice or like making my own juice

from fresh water like, I mean, fresh fruits is not making your own. She owns a multinational juice business. She's a massive business mogul. She has a book. She has multiple businesses. She's insanely successful. She's a shark on shark tank. She's an advisor on what she was on Celebrity Apprentice when I think that's done.

But like in general, I don't think we have that show anymore. That's the thing. It's the money. It's the wealth. That's the allure that I'm picking up on. Janine's like, I don't need this. I'm out here because I want that. That, that, when I tell you my is to look skills, be like,

it's crazy. Maybe in the ballpark. Because it's like, that's literally what she's giving. Like, play with me if you want peasants. I don't need this money. I'm out here doing it for the love, the respect. Like, oh, okay, I like Janine. Okay.

But, okay, I think this looks really comfortable. Like, this is an outfit I feel like I might wear. But, we're just in terms of, like, the comfort on the island. I think that's important. My question is the necklaces, like these long dangly necklaces. Like, isn't that a hazard? Like, why? I mean, listen.

We've had us a sarong. and a hat. I'm not going to be opposed to a necklace. Okay. And Carr is low. Might be made for a fishing rod. Okay. You might be able to use it. Make a fake idol. Okay. Okay. When you got the money, you got the, like I'm just joking. No. But like, listen, I'm mad. The more accessories, the better at times. So I'm loving this. Okay. I like Janine. Obsessed with the necklace fishing rod idea. You have so many good ideas, brides. I'm saying.

Make a fake idol. You might be able to tie something. You can hang something to the tree. It's like you can break that and make a million things. So that's actually good to have out there because be resourceful. So we know and we know she is. Ah. Here's George.

Mr. George. King George. Yeah. George. Give me a thought on George. I have the thoughts on this picture. How do you think of George?

Now, I love George. now he always loves patterns like pattern on patterns Look at that, flashing pattern. Yes, that's his thing. Hands like, again, this is like, it's so weird because it's like I know George and so it's like interesting to read this photo

but I feel like you ever like there's this saying where people like people are like they're exactly who people think they are right? George is giving us exactly who we think George is. That's literally what I say about George. People ask about being friends with George. I'm like, he's exactly what you think.

Like, it's not an act. No, it's not an act. But like he is who he thinks he is. Like George is a legend. He like, mind you, again, hands on his hips. Like so essentially he is basically saying like, I'm out here, bitches. Like I'm here to play. And that smile, like that mischievous.

smile is one not to be trusted he like listen what can you say about King George the patterns the color the hair slicked down but listen he got his chin down and he is

giving us a mischievous grin that is telling it all and his hands are at his hit and he he brig it and so that just makes me nervous because at this Junction, I feel like he's the most famous or one of the most famous and iconic Australian

survivors. And so it just, and that's why I kind of am not even mad at George, right? Because it's like, you already know people are going to have an opinion of you whether they know you or not. And so I really feel like in this photo, George is saying like, I am who y'all think I am. Like, I'm not even going to play with y'all. So let's go. And so I feel like that is what he is conveying to us in this photo.

It makes me nervous because when people just reveal themselves like that, it's like, oh, which way is it going to go? They're either going to target you early or you're going to make it deep in the game. But the one thing that I have known from watching George on my TV screen is you can never count George out. Like, you can never count him out. So it almost makes me exciting that from the. the photo I am interpreting that he is going into this game like let's go

you know what's coming yeah well my first thought looking to this photo is I was like I think I've seen this shirt before and then I went to my photos of George and this is talking trial I don't know if you can see this was episode three the exact same shirt and look that's good

you know I don't want to shame him for outfit repeating like it's good not to do you know over consumption like he was like I don't need a new shirt for the season I play so often if I buy a new outfit every time I play Survivor. Like, I'll be out of all the money of one from Survivor. So I think that, um, let's talk about that, Shannon. Let's normalizing, re-wearing our effing clothes.

I agree. Well, I'm always re-wearing my pajamas. I will say, I will say that. But I used to get into that. Like, I have so many clothes that. I'm like, oh, I can't wear this because I've wore that. No. We, come on.

See, Georgia's a king. Because do you know with all of these, not to get off topic, but since this is Australia versus the world, what a better platform to talk about these fast fashion brands online that create these clothes that we buy, that we discard, that end up in the ocean, that end up polluting our world. So come on with the conscious king. Rewear your clothes. Sustainability, George.

When you outfit repeat, what you don't want is to then have someone go on a podcast and then pull up a photo of you also in that. outfit from last year to be fair you know from a long time ago like no who else was remembering that but I'm really good this is actually painful I'm very good at remembering what people wear so like but but I don't judge you I wear myself all the time I haven't bought clothes

in years I'm genuinely so like I'm not judging George I'm just saying it's all about first of us a popping shirt and you got to make it brand new you got on with the short it's working okay yeah so I'm mad at save the planet George and win. Yeah, we did have a wardroom meeting before talking tribal

and George was like I just want, just give me like a whole rack full of Samoan shirts and then he's wearing one so we clearly like this one which is great. The clashing board shorts, like sure like there's a lot going on but that is trademark George like he has an agenda

in this photo where he's like you will see both of my idol tattoos right, the one on the chest, he's got the shirt open he's got the he has to have the hand there where you can see his tattoo he wants you to see the there's a lot going on um but it's george you know it's either going to go very badly or as you said never count george out and that's what this photo is giving i think it's accurate i think it's accurate he's like i feel like it's almost a level of vulnerability there right like there's so much first of all king george is just such a complex person and i think that this photo captures it very well uh at a Again, a strong pose. He is letting us know he's coming out there to play, which we expect nothing less than that. So I'm excited.

I am worried for him. But George got a couple of tricks up his sleeve. And idols. Yeah. And idols. Literally right there. So he ain't playing. And I love the shirt.

And the shirt is cute. So listen. 10 points for George. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And your conscious king, as you said, yes. There's a lesson here that I'm not walking all over by shaming him for.

No. I love it. For our TV as much as George, you can't be buying you outfits every time. That's basically what he's saying. This is just like another day for him. I think that's kind of, that's what we're looking at. That's a day in the office. Oh.

Another exposed chest is here in the form of David. David's wearing black pants, a black leather jacket. Nothing else. What do you think, Brian? Are we, like, is this a model shoe? Like, what is a first of me? he's a model as well. This copy is ridiculous.

David is eating this pose down. Okay, let me just be clear. This is not hate. But it's like, it's just the fall spring collection for Australia because what the hell? Like, this is a, you are talking about a magazine? This is a magazine photo.

He got his leg up. The way that he has his hands sitting on his inner side. I love it. It's making me. quiver. The jacket is open. He's looking directly at us. The jacket is covering his

his nipples. The jacket opens like an hourglass. The bucket is perfectly placed. Yeah. Just delicious. And these are like the ath leisure pants. You can tell by how he is

standing and the stretch in them. They're not just cackies. So it's like clearly this athleisure brand gave these hands to him because he said, oh, I got y'all in this photo because this photo is diabolically amazing because what the hell is going on

here? Yes. David, this could be, like, this could be on the cover of like a biker magazine, but the Samoan background would be kind of out of place, but I agree with you. Like, he is a model by trade. That was his original job. He actually knew Sarah from before from modeling before he even played

Survivor. Um, He looks good. Okay, let's just say it. He looks good. He has a necklace for fishing. Okay, so I think that that's helpful. We know now. Oh, my quick.

The necklace is all the way down the middle of his chest. Yeah. It's like halfway between his belly button and his neck. Yeah, it's a long neck with. How he got the jacket to fall like that is a work of God. Honestly. I can tell you how it, like, first of all about contorting your body to make the photo accentuate the parts of your body.

If you look at David's shoulders and his arms, like he is like almost squeezing the jacket in. That's why his arms, like, he's giving us a model pose. Like he is like, he's holding it in place. Now, mind you, eating it down, looking at us directly. He's the tallest person out here. But again, I'm going to go back to the same thing to Luke. Photo, immaculate.

But it is all of the things in the photos that I can get into that I can tell that he is conscious of of like getting the jacket here, putting your hand there, putting your leg up, making sure I look. And I feel like that might carry over into the game, right? Like I feel like he has to realize that he is the biggest person out there. So it's like he might have to be like, I have to go out there and kill these challenges. I have to do all this things. And by doing that, he might miss out on some other asses. of the game because he's trying to get the one aspect

of the game perfect, right? Because you nailed this, this photo shoot great other than the two thumbs that I can see blatantly. He does have thumb. You weren't thinking about the thumbs because you were putting your shoulders down, your chest out, so the jacket falls and your hand is right on your thing

so that we can get this amazing image that I could just celebrate all day. But you're forgetting the basics. No thumbs. Like we can't let the people know what your left and right hand is doing. So David looks amazing. I just, I'm worried.

What do we think about the blonde highlights? I love it. We love it. Why not? It's the summertime. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like when Peter was in high school,

he had like blonde tips. Don't you know everything comes back? Everything comes back, Shannon. You're getting to that. getting to the age, girl, is coming back. No, I don't, like, burn it with fire then. I don't, I don't think, I don't, I don't know that it's, but like, I don't, I'm meant to be a hair expert.

I don't, I don't know that it's David's best look, but like, do you, too, a couple things you might have heard about David, he won Dondy, spoiler alone, you know, he won six million dollars on Dondy, did you hear that? Well, what's Dondy? What's Dondy? I still on O'Dill Island. Oh! And he won six million dollars.

You might have seen it on the news. It was on the news. Oh, my God. Shout off. I thought she was going to say he was at Sister Hong's house. Have you heard of this? You haven't heard about Sister Hong? No.

Okay, we'll talk about it later now. What? No. God, he was $6 million. Yeah, right before this, like a week before this. So do people know that? Do you think that people? People knew that that.

Well, poverty was on the season. Oh. Yeah. But they were really, really, really close. They were like number one allies, like really close. Babe, that's why David looked like this. Because David, no, like, yeah, there's. Got money.

I love David, but there's no way he's winning this season. And do you know that the rumor? Did you hear the JLP, the host, is, is he was fired? And that the rumor is David is the new host? Yeah. Again, that's what, listen, that's what. this photo looked like this how he looked he knows what he's doing that

not with the T oh my God and first of all you want you went $6 million on deal or no deal island yeah that's that's Jesus well you don't you don't know you don't what no no okay I'll explain it on deal on no deal island you're competing

to play a high stakes game of deal or no deal at the very end so the winner will play a high six game of deal and the highest case will be all of the kind of money that you've, like, you know, won as a team as whatever through such a, I can't, this is so hard to explain. Anyway, the highest case was $12 million. And he played deal or no deal. And he was like 12 million versus all the little amounts. And he kept saying, no deal, no deal. He could have lost it all. He could have had nothing. And he kept going

until the second last case. And then he took the deal, which was like about 5-8, 6 million-ish US dollars. And it was crazy. Bress. You should go watch that episode. It's actually kind of phenomenal. Oh my God. Six million. He could have won nothing. Yeah. Shit. He ain't winning this season and I love him but like there should, yeah, no. There's only so much you can win in like the

space of a month. Right. He's won a lot. More than pretty much anyone on TV ever, I think. It's kind of what they said on television. All right. Well, that's David. I think that might be that's a tribe. Here is the world tribe. We're moving to the world tribe. What stands out to you, Bryce? In this. I think edited photo, yeah.

We look a mess, okay? Well, it's a whole world. I mean, right, but we, I, like, I don't even know, like, and you know, Sabrina, my girl, like, but Tony just looked like he just got off of work. Pop looks good. Rob looks like, I understand he's probably in, I don't even want to. Zulu. Yeah.

Then we got, what was that teen movie where it was like the wolf and the vampires, Twilight? Twilight, yeah. Now we got a Twilight shirt on here. Like, it's a lot going on over here. Yeah. This is the world? This is the world. This is the whole world.

Chum. Chum. We've got a lot of sweaters, as you might say, tied around a lot of weights. Yes, we are lacking a lot of diversity here. Okay. Yes. There's more diversity in this time than Australia. So it's very bad.

It's very, very bad. From whose world? From whose lens is this world? But okay. From Australia's lens, there's a lot of things that we don't agree with. But, yeah. So, okay, as a group, They look a mess.

However, I said that about Australia, and then we got into the solo photos, and I was able to break it down. But again, who stands out for me and this photo is Surrey and Poverty. Like, they are the two that stand out for me. And maybe I'm a little biased because maybe they're my Survivor Queens and have been my Survivor Queens as a gay little black boy

watching Survivor. like watching them too. I'm like, like, how can you not idolize them? I don't, like, Tony looks like he can't even see. Tony looks like he's like,

he looks at the suns in his eyes. Right. Yeah. All right. Can we get the close-ups? Because it's true. These tribe photos aren't doing people justice. And a lot of people, like,

they did a lot better in the solo photos. So we'll get to the cast photos. Um, the three. Oh, okay. Yeah. See? And it's a lot of. one thing about me

that's one I just want to let you know Shannon we have no negative critiques over here about Queen Mother so let's just that's one but also when Surrey Dana Monique Lanethea Fields

has in pig tails micro braids and pig tails watch out okay so that's number one Surrey got in pig tail braids And she's even braided the pigtails, babe, babe, diabolical. That means Surrey ain't coming to play, which you holds, okay?

Surrey also, right? In that group photo, I wasn't sure what the outfit was giving. Now, in this solo photo, this is cute. The pants accentuate the shirt. The shirt's a little crop top. She is, again, giving us a very unique pose. Surrey is doing the thing that I normally be hating, Australian Survivor. holding on to the tree, but the queen

makes it look effortlessly. She's holding on to the tree, essentially saying, help me. Right? But then she got her hand on her hit because we already know Ceree, Monique, Lanifia, Dana

Fields, don't clack. It's real. It's real to me. And so that hand on that hip, let me know Sarie ain't playing. She got a heart on her shirt. Okay. A hot with the world.

With the world. Okay. With the world needs love and love. Love the color blocking shirt. I just already know her son Jared probably like picked out this outfit for her because it is very in the Jared-esque lane. I love it. It's like very like bohemian hippie-ass, but like it looks great. Again, standing off to the side.

So Surrey understands she's a threat. She understands people are going to be coming at her. And so it's like holding on to the tree, help me, help. They're coming to get me. But standing off to the side with her hands and a hip, no thumbs in sight. Let's just be clear. The queen is the queen. She's doing all this new stuff, but no thumbs in sight.

Let's be clear. Ceri, Monique, Lanethea, Dana, Fields, ain't coming to play. Love, love it, love it. Nothing else to be said. Ed, you're talking about we're getting close to the tree. So he's in the tree. Okay. We have to comment on that.

I have to say, like, we can, in the very top corner that you can see a bit of the trunk of the tree. We've got into the point where they, like, but it's not her fault. This damn photographer, every season, it's like, go close to the tree. Like, I don't want to be on the tree. He's like, get to the tree. Is the tree paying him? Like, well, I assume the photographer's male, firstly. How sex is am I?

Secondly, who is this photographer who's obsessed with this tree? Why is the trees? Like, get away, get away from the tree. Like, what's happening? But it is a different type of tree. Normally it's this tree, at least we're getting like the leaves. It's the baby or of the tree.

So, yeah, Sarri's got the buff around her neck. Surrey ain't to be played with. This is a great interesting pose. I love it. Tens. It's unique. It's cute.

I mean, Surrey playing a strength five is the best thing that ever happened to me. Bryce, you know Surrey well. You helped me meet Surrey. I'm almost going to help me meet Surrey. No one else me meets. We have a lot of mutual friends. What's happening here?

Like, no one comes through. Surrey is a legend. I love her. I've never forget the first day. I got to meet Surrey in real life. This is really rubbing this in my face. I hate you. Like, that is my girl.

It stays in my podcast room. I nearly fainted. I want a fan. Had to catch me. She said, boy, get up off the ground. And ever since then, me and Ceree been locked in. And that's the thing about Ceri is also very much like King George, Ceree knows who she is.

And Ceree, what we think of Ceree is Ceree. Like, she is just, she's beautiful. She's loving. She's just, she herself, but also she's street smart. She ain't dumb. Like, it's just, and I think sometimes her name precedes her. But when you get to know her, you get to talk to her, it just, she like, that's TV. Like, she is just very disarming.

And, come on, mother. Take it home, mother. Bryce, will you message Surrey and just say there's a woman in Australia who's covering this season that you're going to be on and she loves you so much and like she's been waiting for this a whole life? You've never met her, Bryce! I've never met her ever!

No one will help me need, Surrey. But I'm hoping to interview her in this season. I'm hoping that when she wins, hopefully, that I'll get an interview. But I'm scared, like, I don't trust the network. Like, I'm scared they'll be like, oh, we don't have an interview today. Like, I need, I need to talk to Surrey.

I need someone to tell her that this desperate person in Australia has spent years trying to get through to her. This is a true story. Okay. Surrey delayed my proposal, my engagement. Really? And I'll tell you why, because Peter proposed to me, this was before Cameo, this was 2018. So Peter proposed to me with, it was a survivor theme proposal, there was a fire, there was an urn, there were porches, it was. the whole thing, cut up logs to be the stools at tribal council.

It was a whole tribal council. And he had a video from people in the survivor world, people who were important to me. He had Rob, he had Nick, he had Mike and my brother. He tried to get Surrey four months. And like for months, as I understand it, he couldn't, he couldn't contact her. And she never got back to him about sending a video because he knew I would have wanted. I would have been like, who cares about your proposal? Sure, I'll marry you.

But like, Surrey. And this was before cameo, so he could. I have had a cameo from her. But yeah, he couldn't. at the video. So that's why the proposal was a little later than I'd lie for getting engaged at the age of 25. But yeah. So

and that is a true story. Had it been delayed even further, I might have pushed my wedding straight into COVID. So luckily he just kind of gave up on it. But that's a true story. That's how desperately I want to get through to Surrey, but no one will help me, Brad. This is my question. I got you. We'll have to, we will make this

happen. We will figure something out, Shannon. I got it. We'll have so. We're going to get Sarita renew your vows. I'll marry Surrey. I know, but I would never break up her in HB. I'd never do that. Me and Peter, whatever, but like she, yeah. Yeah, so that's Surrey.

I have to ask about the person I love most in this world. What's what the vest? Is it a vest? Is it a vest? Let's go back to this photo. I think it's a little vest? What's going on? I think it's the shirt.

I think it's like a color block shirt. You think it's part of the shirt? Oh, I think you're right. But then look at this. This thing looks like there's a little bit of red. I think that's just the back of the shirt because it's cropped. Do you see how it was like flaring out? I think the back of it might be.

That's what I'm saying. Like that's how I was like, I think that's done. Jerry got this for her because this is very like, I love this shirt. Okay. I was going to say this could be a vest ad where we're like, is that a vest? And we're talking about the vest. But you're right. I think it might be, I don't know.

Actually, genuinely, I'm excited to see the season for many reasons, but mostly to see if that is part of the shirt or a vest. And we'll find out together very soon. That's exciting. I love Surrey. I'm so excited. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me. That she's on my,

my franchise, you know, that I've portrayed. Yeah. This is I, this is me. Here's Cass. Another, another shirt tied around a waist. What is going on in this drive? Is this so many shirts? Where is Cass from?

Quebec. Oh, Quebec. You know that I watched Survivor Quebec? Do you know how many episodes? It was guess how many episodes. 11. No, it was 11. Why would I make you guess?

It was 67 episodes brides. How many seasons of Survivor Quebec? Because I met, like, I met the winner of, I met the most recent winner. Okay, no spoilers. That's not her season. There's three seasons and she was on season two. Okay. Yeah.

Shout out to that Quebec. Okay. Yeah. The Survivor Quebec, they are, their franchise is underrated. They are very knowledgeable players. Yeah. She is serving hands on the hip. I mean, hands folded.

Again, this like not straight on look. She's tilted a little bit. We see the hands that are telling us she's willing to work with it. But it's the attitude and photo for me. Like, it's giving like, I'm cute, but don't play with me. I like the little, what's the pattern? The Rob has a. podcast.

The Robin vented that pattern. Yeah. The blue on blue, the hair to want to decide. I felt like

she's going to be a sleeper. First of all, this is a, this, this is a strong post. And unlike the

Australian models, right? This gives model, but like, it don't give model in the way that the other two were like giving

model, right? Like, you know, there's like some subtleness. There's like the girl next store. There's like this attitude that I get like

I don't know. I feel like she could have been on the hill. She could have been friends with Lauren Conrad. I like this. Very strong play. I feel like she's going to be underrated. I feel like she's going to be able to make connections. I like her. Yeah. Well, look this is, this cast is insanely good looking. I know

it's objective, but it's also like objectively true. This is strong. This is like, you know, face on, looking right at you. The hair so effortlessly kind of swept to the side and that is not effortless like that's a difficult thing to achieve how does she make it look so effortless you see a bit of the like midriff peeking through she's fit she's great at endurance i actually i don't love generally the things tied around the waist but it kind of works when it looks like a skirt yeah like yeah it's cute yeah the tree's not even

in the photo yeah i was thinking thank god for that damn tree yeah this is a strong fold and she's giving us like it's almost a similar face to the rich juice woman, right? Like, it's that same kind of a lure of like this ominous smile but it's not really a smile. Like,

yeah. You know, if I don't know it's a knowing look. It's like, I know a secret that I can tell me. Do you know what time it is and that's the look she's given? Like, I'll be like, yeah. okay it's 11 o'clock like I would I would answer the question myself like girl we got about we're about to go wait what's her name cast cast girl we're about to go out you like this outfit like that that phase it just is like yeah you have the you have the answer yourself like it says it says a thousand words I think as well the shirt around the waist is important because if you look at her in the group photo in the tribe photo like just the workout outfit it don't do it with Like, I think that's not really hitting.

That's kind of like, obviously, like, you're just fully in a workout out. Like, it's not even like you're coming from the gym. Like, that's a workout out. But, with the shirt. But you see the difference? And Luke, like, don't have a hat. And both of the, like, you know, this is more sometimes.

Retracted a little bit. But, like, you know, this is good. Almost a whole different look. She's a chameleon. I like it. She's flexible. She's going to be able to go with the flow. She might work with you this tribal.

She might work with you a nut life. I feel like these are, okay, Cass. I like this. Strong shot. This is strong shot. Honestly, this photographer, other than the tree thing, was like really kind of eating. Let's be honest. So he's nailing it.

I'm not mad. Why do we think it's a man? It could have been a woman. Well, I'm just saying, given the diversity of this. It's a white man. It's definitely a white man. 100%. I just look, if it cracks, it cracks, girl.

Yeah, look, can't argue with that. Can't argue with a lot of men being. Well, actually, there's more women on the season, to be honest, but there's a lot of men out there. Lisa. Here's Lisa. Okay, Lisa. Okay, this is very interesting because, first of all,

I love this pose. This is like one of my quintessentials, this is how I take photos pose. This is like, this is a quintessential Bryce Isaiah pose. So I love this, right? Very like giving camp, giving you play tennis,

like very innocent, very like meek, but I know it's not true, right? So it's like, this photo is like almost iconic, right? Like these are shorts, but it almost looks like it could be a sport. I love the blue shirt,

the just the bagginess of it, hair pulled back, not doing too much. And sometimes it's like, gangsters pose like this sometimes. Sometimes when you put your squad, you take photos, it's like, what up? So there's a lot going on here. There is this innocence that exudes from the photo. And I think that she is going to use that to her benefit. The one thing that does concern me is, again, strong pose. Like I think this is almost one of the newer poses that we get to see a survivor where just hands, almost kind of sort of like Kirby's, but Kirby's was fighting hands just down.

This one is just hands down to the side, but ready to go. What makes me nervous is the thumb that I do see. And so I feel like that might be some issues for her in connecting with people or when you're connecting with people, you're telling me. them everything and not realize it that they can use it against you, but there is this like Emily flipping type of art that I see. And I love the fact that it's like, little me here. Just here to take us a photo for Survivor. Don't mind me. Excuse me while I go win this $6 million. Like I see beyond it. So I love it. It's very disarming. But I see beyond it. I see beyond it. I see the smile.

I see how she's looking at us. This is a good, again, another good photo. This is a great, like, I'm loving the newer looks that we are getting because it's like so interesting. Very disarming. Very disarming. Well, I think that you are, you see through what an entire cast of Survivor New Zealand did not see through because that was Lisa's whole thing.

She looked so sweet in this photo. She's a nice little super fan librarian, so kind. And she really lent into that. I'm just here for the experience. She's so passionate about the show. but she was a stone cold killer underneath made one of the best moves of all time took out her number one ally with an idol

and a three to one as inspired by Surrey with his childhood best friend and then won the game but people don't see that people don't know that because they see the sweetness but you're right there's something behind it you see it but you have a gift not everyone sees it exactly

it's yeah no for sure that is wait she won wait what franchise is she New Zealand oh New Zealand I, baby And I love it Like I love this Like first of all I love the like

Those are I feel like Those are like the wide leg Linen shorts And Zara had them And I wanted them They had them in like white and black And I tried to get them so bad And I couldn't get them

Because they were out of them But like I just love this look Of just It's like a simple look But also it's like It could be a uniform You could dress it up You could play tennis in it

You could like It just you could you could put up the fiction books in it you could do a lot and so I just it's maybe for me it is how her hair is pulled back and it's her smile like I just see through it that she ain't really to be played with but play with me if you once I'm here to help what what are you looking for romance okay oh you want horror you've come to the right place I love it But I will say So no more Jumper slash sweater Around her waist

Which is good But where my mind goes to Is like Where is it now? Like did she throw it on the ground In the sand Is someone holding it? Like I hope she didn't get her like jumper or sandy

That's where my mind goes But I don't Maybe everyone doesn't Duh Put it where? She put it in the tree Oh in the tree Right

This tree's good for something And then she was like, oh, we can't photograph the tree because my jumper is just like in the brown. That's smart. That's smart. That's what I'm saying. She is innovative. Y'all going to put a little respect. Damn, if that tree is in my photo.

And literally, it's only the branches of the other tree. I'm trying to say. She's on to something. Yeah. That's smart. That's great. All right, here's poverty. Here's Parvety.

Now, Papi, so the people are just listening. Poverty has got the buffer. he's got the buff top on, which I think is like a real poverty classic. I think she invented that. And then she's got like high-wasted, almost like business pants. They're like the same type of pants that the other

guy had on. There's like athleisure pants, high-wasted athlete pants. They are, listen, they are the, I got to pay it right over here. I just what I work in. I love them. They're stretchy. They look, they can look like tights. They can look like whatever, yes. But

this is a great post. Now, listen, poverty is mother right and so I like it's hard for me to critique because this is an interesting pose because we see poverty's thumbs but again I feel like when you know the lure and the arc of poverty

what really do thumbs matter with someone like a poverty It's true she's above thumbs takes a lot of me to say that I'm just trying to say and this is a great pose again similar to motorcycle was it Dave

it's very similar to I was like oh my god Bryce I was just thinking that because so Dondi Dillandodale Island is so important and aired and filmed right before this season filmed and she and David was so close and I think that that's the key to the whole season her relationship with David is like

to me is like the center of the whole season and then I see her and David's poses are so similar she also has a hand there she also has a leg out and I'm like they're channeling each other did they coordinate this pose or are they just that in sync that they knew to do this because their relationship is the key

to the whole season. I really believe them. And I believe it too. And if their friendship is the key to the friend, if their relationship is going to be the key to the season, she takes it because in David Pan was like placed on the inner thigh. Like it was like he was holding the jacket in and it was placed in, right? You see what part of these hand is? It's on her leg. She had has her grip on it.

And it ain't really enough much to be saying here. This is a classic mother pose. Again, she is an icon for the gays. When I started watching Survivor, I said, oh, this woman eats. When I got voted out of Survivor, I had the pleasure of flying to L.A. Because that's when she had the after show. Oh, yeah. And when I tell you, she and I key, key, keyed, keyed.

And there's like maybe three or four seasons after my season. And I'm just, this is a random, random, random, random art. Because then it was like, she had took some time away from like social media. So she wasn't like posting as consistently. And then I never forget she started posting again. And then some of her old post, she used to use the hat. Like she would have like seven hashtags. And she used to use the hashtag bring Bryce back.

Okay. Like this was just randomly. Oh, she's the best. Well, that's a great. So. we just love her and like she's just literally a gay icon there's just so many gay men that I have met in the survival realm and we all talk about like our experiences and the things that we have in common are like just surrey and this beautiful human and she's just a beast

and for whatever whatever reason she just serves it and like in just this photo right like I could pick it apart like I don't really like the thumbs because I feel like like but I just feel like with someone like her it's intentional with someone like her it's just like just the way she just makes it look so easy so breezy like I just feel like you're going to have to watch

off her mother. Mother one and mother two. She looks good. I mean this is a great ad for the world buff which I also want. I also want the buffs. Both of them look great both the Australia and the world buffs and she like

she just looks she looks great but I also I also think she and David, there's such a synergy there. And it's also like David, the bare chest. How about just the chest covered. She could use the jacket. You know what I mean? Like there's like also, they fill in the gaps of each other because they're going to be this like, I think very important duo.

It would be funny if like they never even get to meet in the game because they're not in the same tribe. Like one gets voted out before they even meet. But I really think that relationship is so key to the season. And I think that these poses prove it. We're close to the tree, but we don't see the tree. it's well-framed it's a great photo it's a very good photo very athlete your pants

hands on the thigh and your head she knows what she's doing yeah she's been on TV enough she knows that to do a car photo she's a legend yeah hey it's gonna be happy to choose a winnipeg I'm like I don't know if I can you're gonna have to because that's you're gonna have to choose one that's what we're gonna do here's Rob now Robb yeah

What, what, what, what are you doing, Rob? Okay, first of all, South African Survivor has a very special place in my heart. You know, I went to South Africa. I played in a mini org for a little bit. We got to travel the world. I've met so many of the South African players and they're just beautiful. And I love South Africa. And Rob has a beautiful body.

Rob is like, but what? are you doing like this like what like rob it's a lot going on it's like first of all you're like he's touching his own face yeah like and like you're making a muscle like it's like it's give like now mind you rob's a big man like just rob's not as tall as david but rob is like big in size and i feel like what he is i love rob but i okay i'm just i'm just i'm just going by the Issa look photos, right? And this is the only photo. I love Rob.

I think Rob is great. But Rob is a early merge boot. This photo says it all. Like, it almost is like you're doing a little too much. Like, what are you doing? And I love Rob. But it's like the, I don't know what poses is, but it almost is like you're trying to assert your dominance.

And I feel like, babe, bang. this ain't the season to do that. Like I just, that, that making a muscle is like just triggering for me for a survivor pose. It's like you are, you're wanting to show us your dominance. And like, you're trying to put a smile on it,

but it's like you're flexing. And don't get me wrong, you look great. You got an amazing body. But again, for the if a look, me reading into this photo, it is screaming to me that like, you are going to want to flex your muscles. And I feel like maybe on a normal season, you'd be able to do that,

but you're not going to be able to do that with players like King George, Surrey, Tony, like, like, baby, like, just makes me nervous. That is, that is, I think that that is a good point because, well, I will say about Rob, he's one of the most dominant winners of all time, but he wasn't playing with the Surreys and the poverty's

not saying. Yeah. But I will say, I'm going to defend the muscle. I will defend the muscle. Because I can just imagine the white male photographer was like, yo, you're meant to be the strong guy from South Africa. Like, show us the muscle and get closer to that tree. And Rob was like, I will not get clues to the tree. And the photographer was like, no, we need to show the tree. Please. I owe the tree money. And then that was the, but then Rob was like, I won't get closer to the tree, but I will show my muscle. So I feel like that's more like he was giving what they were asking of him because I feel like a Strength Survivor has these clear archetypes

where it's like you have to be the strong guy and they really are trying to show that. I don't believe it. Two reasons why I don't believe it. One, the fact that Rob is practically touching his face is telling me that Robb has been doing that since he's been 11. Okay. This is a

signature Rob Pol. You can't like the photographer can't tell you the flaps and you grab your chin. Like that is like that is in innate reaction, okay? So that's why I'm just saying it's like, no, that's Rob doing it.

And then can we see the group photo again because this is my exhibit number two. Now, mind you, I love you, Rob. I'm just saying it. What's going on? Okay, here we go. No, the main, main photo. Oh, my God.

Well, okay, we'll have to go all the way back. I'm doing it, though. Sorry. Why is this? Okay, here. This presentation is, look at it. Look, look. He's side on just with his arm.

Yep. Look. He's side on. He's completely profile. We can only see any just to see his arm. Now, you can't miss. it. You cannot miss it. How do you spot that and you remember that? That's brilliant.

Because mind you, and this and why I say that, look who he's standing next to. David and see the position that David is taking, right? David is almost like commanding the room. It's almost like Rob is like, I'm stuck in this pose. And so like,

mind you, he's puffing up his chest. Now again, Rob's the second biggest guy out there. I'm just saying you don't need to do all. of that to get like, we see it. Like maybe you don't need to do any of that. You could see it from space.

And we would see it. Yeah. And so for me, okay, I was going to let it slide in this photo. But then to see it in your solo one, it makes me feel like you might get out there and be like, rah! And although it might work, it might also get, like, in a season like this, you're You got a King George, you've got David, you've got Lisa, you got Kirby. In a season like this, all you need is a r for them to be like, let's get him out. Right?

Like, I don't know, but I just feel like he is for sure giving, I'm going to run this. And that just makes me nervous on a season like this because I feel, yeah, yeah, not on a season like this. It's just you got to come. in a little more tamer and I am nervous because you might go after somebody and then that's somebody like you know like it's just like I just I feel like I don't know that's just what the photo is giving me but listen he looks great I had no issues with Rob I'm just I have the is a look that's just what it tells me and I just that's my first really knee jerk reaction to a photo yeah

I mean, I agree with you. I think that, look, Rob's win is incredible. Like, he was so dominant, but it was almost too easy for him. And there might be a bit of a rude awakening. Not that his, that his win, you know, wasn't so valid. And not that he honestly didn't have a cast of pretty good gabers, but they were newbies, you know? And I think, like, if you look at like a Kim, whose cast was probably worse than Robb.

But, like, Kim comes into winners at war. And it's like, not that she's not an amazing player, but it was just like, that speed got a little faster than she intended. And she was like, oh, okay. and it was actually quite a shock. And I think that Rob could have that. He's coming from not just playing and winning on a newbie season, but dominating so hard and being so far ahead

that I feel like, oh, now I'm playing with people who are at my level, you know, or maybe even higher, like the legends of the world. And I feel like he might rev it up. Yeah, well, you might not even, you might not know you have to so quickly. Right. Is this Rob's second season? Is this the second time playing? Oh, my God.

So he played once and he like really dominated and he won. and that is his So that is what makes me even more nervous because I feel like the Tony the Tony second time playing

effect is real yeah I hope him and Tony get along okay because that that could be a strong duo but okay but I just wanted to bring

this point back that I knew that in this first photo I saw him flexing I will say and also I do think these people are edited in but if this is real

he and Kirby just being like front to front like why are they like an amazing race cast photo like they don't know each other but they just like crammed together just like facing it's a very it's very like awkwardly close if it's happening in real time which we doubt

but yeah it's kind of funny I also just realize I can just click straight back to the slide I'm learning so after I'm learning a lot yeah I don't love that he's touching his face I don't love the haphazard I feel like he does you know like to represent his Lulu heritage, which is amazing.

And I love that. The necklace, yeah. And I love that. And I wish, like, we'll just let the shirt do the talk in, like, because I just feel like, this, this pose is, it just says a lot. Like, look at me. And mind you, we can look at your rock, because you are nice to look at, okay? That's not the problem here.

But I'm still rooting for you. But if the post. is ring true. I'm a little worry, but we will see. Yeah, I'm still lost in his eyes, okay? I'm still like, it's working. I'm hypnotized. I mean, I'm lost in the bicep.

Okay, it worked on me, but I'm not out there, okay? You would work, yeah, exactly. You know yourself. And it worked on me. I did a deep dive with him. Like, it worked, but we're, but he's, but this is the whole point. Yes, he's going to play with,

with better people than us. Yes. It works on us. It works on his first car. That's, but does it work on, you know, poverty? Parvety has been through this, you know, she's done the rodeo. So, yeah, that's Rob. Yes, Tommy.

Okay. This is Twilight Tommy. Twilight Tommy. Okay, like, there's something in the cheerfulness and, like, his face and his smile and the tilt of his head. He also is a very interesting pose of just hands to the side. Like, one hand is almost balled up. The other hand is open.

We can see his thumb, but I feel like, this point, I feel like Tommy is just, I feel like he is burying himself to us as well. Like I'm this happy go lucky cheery guy. I want to, I'm a hard worker. I feel like Tommy is like I play the game. Um, but I feel like for you to wear that shirt is a huge, it is saying something. And I feel like he, we can see the different sides of the wolf. And I feel like with this happy, go cheery, lucky, like, friendly guy, I feel like there's that the inner.

But I feel like more likely than not, he is this happy, smart, cheery, like, works hard type of person. But there's a wolf inside of him. Tell me his lore. He's from Finland. He's from Survivor Finland, which I also watched. It was 15 episodes. How many seasons did they get? He was in the seventh season, which was actually a fans v favorites,

where he was a fan and the fans dominated, which is very rare, I find, on fans be favorite. I don't think I've ever seen that. Like, we've had, Australian's Viper, they did the hybrid on heroes villains and Liz won, but the favorites still dominated. Like, it was weird to see the favorites get kind of steamrolled, and they have the experience. And Tommy was doing that.

Tommy is a huge fan of the show. That's why I think you see the joy. He's so happy to be here randomly from Finland. He's like, who would have thought this was possible? Just so fun. The wolf shirt he wore on his first season. And I'm kind of like, like, I'm not looking at the pose of the wolf. Like the wolf is drawing me in.

As you said, it's kind of that like other element to his like cheery superfan side. Were you team Edward or team Jacob in Twilight? That's the question. I was team. Edward, wait, no, I was seen Jacob, I was seen Jacob. Yeah, I was seen Jacob. I was seen Jacob because Taylor Lawtonner, like, obviously Robert Patterford as well, but like, I was 15 when Twilight was big.

I was sick. Jacob, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, um, yeah, I've seen like the wolf, like the werewolf, right? Like, we just, yeah, so kind of agree with that. A gamer, like, I see that he plays like on sit like yeah he's a gamer i i can get that i'm interested to see how he will do this is an interesting pose um there are no fans here okay they're just favorites so it will be interesting but i do genuinely enjoy his joy that he is bringing it just yeah it makes excited to watch him i do think because he even had this in his season where he had like so much reverence for the returnees as he was also voting them out but he was like

It's hard for me, okay, I love him. And I think that he might bring a lot of that to the season. Like there is, yes, there's the wolf. We get it. But, like, I think that I think he might represent, like, the cheeriness and, like, and Lisa will have this too, but, like, I can't believe I'm here with these legends. I think he might bring that. And I think he seems really open in his pose.

And I think we'll kind of get that, that sense of him. It's, like, so happy to be there. You know what I mean? And I feel, like, also, like, not for nothing, but, like, it's Finland, right? Yeah. And so, like, maybe it's not. a larger known franchise. And so he might have the benefit of almost being like a fan on this season.

And so it really could work to his favor. And I feel like he has the right type of attitude to execute that. So I am just, I really am excited. I would love, in my mind, I just feel like I would love for him and Kirby to like link up. I feel like them together. I feel like that could really work. The wolf and the rebel That sounds like a book

That Lisa is a librarian for Giving you that book Yeah David can love it All right Last but certainly not least Many years ago We were introduced

To two legends One is on the score With me right now And the other Still has the sweater Around his waist Tony, what is happening And he's in the tree

He's fully in the tree This is Tony You know him well Played with him technically And also You reminded me, yeah. And Pave was doing the after shows. She would have interviewed him and she played with him on Winners at War, technically.

But this is Tony. What do you think about Team TV here? How's he looking? Now, I have never, well, first of all, let's be clear. Tony asked to be in the tree or Tony moved to the tree. That's just something Tony has done. Over the years, I've always been very critical of Tony's attire that he wears on these shows. and my criticism of his attire

has never affected his gameplay, right? So, in very warm and true fashion, I'm going to, like, interesting pose for Tony because Tony normally is a hands-on, hands-folded type of guy. So Tony is entering in his new era of life, and so he's going straight, arms open. And I'm, was this filmed?

I want to say this was filmed before Traders, right? It was filmed before Traders' Ed. And I guess slightly after Traders filmed. Okay. So at us knowing that fact, right, of knowing how Tony did in Traders, him coming with a more open arms seems on track, right? Because in Traders, Tony really wanted to work. Tony was like really trying to, and he was unable to do that.

it's almost, we know that his name preceded him, especially with a Boston Rob. So I really do feel like Tony not folding his arms is a conscious decision here where I feel like we might see a different Tony this season, right? Which is interesting because it's either going to work or it's not going to work. And we can't see whether or not,

if we can see thumbs or not, but I am gauging from how that one hand looks, we probably would be able to see it. I never really like Tony's cargo pants. I don't really be liking Tony's oversized shirts and with the Tampa. What I will say... Great shirts and the beige cargo pants

with a gray jumper. Like, it would be... It's a lot going on, but as much as I'm a critique, I at least like the fact that the colors are in the same family, right? Like, it's like, I see the palette that he was going for. Uh, so that's my thoughts. And interesting pose, uh, not one that we're used to seeing from Tony. So it'll be interesting to see how he does out here.

But this definitely isn't giving me a winner's pose. But you never know with, but Tony. Like, you really never know. Exactly. He's a unicorn. He defies these kind of formulas. He really does. But so it'll be very interesting to see how he coming off of the traders into this.

he'll do. And especially like I am curious just how him and Rob will connect because if I don't know how the tribes are broken up if they will really just be the U.S. versus Australia starting off to see like the two

bigger guys. Yeah, that's what it is. I'm so curious to see. I can definitely see and I watch a little bit of Rob season. So I definitely see him and Tony immediately linking up. Like I like that for that is a no-brainer.

What I am curious is to see where that goes, right? Because Tony has natural alliances and allegiance with other people. And so I'm curious to see in what way will that, because it's just inevitable. Tony and Rob, they're going to connect. Like, I just know it.

And so I'm just curious to see, like, what that will be like and where and how it will go. But Tony is Tony, and Tony is still a legend. And again, all things considered, a strong and interesting pose from the legend who in my opinion of the isa look has helped shape me to what it's the look is because when I was on the Cagian island I got to watch people take their photos from ponderosa and so I watched Tony take his initial photos with that winter pose and I remember because I took my photos first I remember things of myself like I should have crossed my arms. And so, like, a lot of my art kind of comes from watching people like a Tony, a Wu, a Trisha, LJ, take their photos.

And so it is interesting to see the evolution of Tony. Yeah. I think with Tony, the thing is always like, it shouldn't work, but it does. You know what I mean? And, like, that, and look, he's in the tree. Like, the leaf is, it's right there. Like, it's on his shoulder. Like, he's fully in the tree.

It's a very close crop. As we say, we can't see his hands, which is kind of different from the other photos. Unless this is from the website, the 10 website. And does the outfit really work? Like, does the pose in the tree? Does it work? No, but that's the thing with Tony. Like, it's like, for everyone else doesn't work.

But for Tony, it works. Like, still a great photo. You know, it's a great ad for the tree. Yeah. Fave the trees. Yeah. Bryce, you help me meet Tony as well. I've never met Tony

You've never met Tony I'm just here in Australia I'm just you know what I mean Like Tony doesn't come out that often though So like that is a rare thing Yeah One of Window and I's first Bryce and one events he came to

One of our pro quo events And so if you ever came And he came to the thing But yeah Tony doesn't pop out like that But yeah I did love the traitor suit You know you looked great Like

It was great It was like really seeing him out of his natural environment, but it was, it was like, it was so weird, but it was great. Like, I wish I'd had more of it. I loved it, though. Yeah, see, the traitors pissed me off because I could tell him that, that essence, like, he really wanted to, like, be around and be like, I could just sense he wanted to play a different type of game.

And Boston Rob said, no. Yes. Yeah, it was annoying. It was very annoying. But he's here now, so their losses are games. That's it, Bryce. This was so fun. I feel like we learned so much.

The crafts were ridiculous. That could be just a series of covers. Like what actually someone should do is edit that as a cover of different magazines. Like Tony, Tree Magazine, Team TreeV. No, that has to be a Hunton magazine. You all, no, no. We don't know, no. That's not.

Tony would never put his name. We're not going to defame him as such. But I think, like, what, you know, like Lisa, like books monthly, you can have, you know, Scholastic scholars. Yeah, Cass, like, pretty and plaid. Like, please make me these, these covers. Because they could all be magazine covers. I say that as a magazine editor.

Bryce, you must give us one winner pick. You must do, we must give us only one. Not a man and a woman. Not from a woman's trying. Okay, okay. I won't give you a man and a woman, but I will just say you this. I am, this is the first time it's a look because it is hard for me. I'm extremely biased.

Yes. And my two, when I have two, take it away. No. My two. No. Winner picks. Choose one. Well, let me both and we'll decide one.

Okay. It's surreal poverty, period. Like, I mean, period. Are you going to choose three? You have, like, sorry. Those two, period. No, right. Well, I can't fenced in a 14-person season.

Like, one winner pick. I'm betting on my mother, Ceree, Monique, Lanetia, Dana, Fields. It's fair. It's great. I picked two. But I just, there's just no way that I do it. It's a look and that I had the opportunity to do. It's a look with the women that I idolized and I can't choose them as my winner picks.

Like that's just like, blast me. Let's get one. So it's one. And when a pick, you know, it's like it's a singular. No, you said. It's not there. No, it wasn't there. Say it again, win or what?

Winner pick. No. No. That's not right. That was Bryce with the people listening. That wasn't me. Okay. He edited that in by saying it himself.

Bryce, this was so much fun. I hope you keep up with the season. Well, are you going to keep up with it? It's going to be very short. It's, I am. If the links come my way, because we always say this, and you always say you're going to send me the links, and you never send me the links,

and then I had to go to my Twitter to get the links. But no, actually, you know what, Sam took care of me last time. I know I'm lying. Sam to care of me. I'm the one telling people, like, it's all me. I'm doing that in the background. Okay. I'm telling people to help you out.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm working in the shadows, like twilight, I guess. Okay. Oh, like the wolf. Well, like a vampire, I can't go in the sun, I thought. But anyway, it's fine. That's why you need the tree. That's why you need the tree in the back of the library with the juice in the hat fairyland of the athleisure store.

Yeah. And this is where we've gotten to after this podcast. Bryce, this has been so much fun. Tell the people where to find the immense amount of stuff that you were doing. You are the busiest person, I think I know, but you still made time for us for this great podcast today, which I highly appreciate. Tell people what they can find that you're doing. Yes, yes, yes. Well, the Purple Pants podcast, we are ending our summer rewatch of Amazing Race Season 15, me and the winner, Brook, Cam High. We've got two episodes left, which is really sad because I've really been enjoying this.

Wendell and I are hard at work. We are getting ready to announce our tour 49 for the new season of Survivor coming in September. And I have just finished the 2026 Zaddy calendar. And so it should be coming out within the next week. And I believe there is some Australia survivor. I mean, you know, we try to make it all around the world. So I'm super, super. Super excited for that. So yeah, you know, the Purple Pants podcast, Survivor News will be coming back.

We'll be covering the new season of Amazing Race. So, yeah, you know, the Purple Pants podcast is here. And I am so grateful. Thank you so much, Shannon, for being so flexible with my schedule. I do apologize. You know, that is unlike me. But I always love it here. And it's a look is become my favorite thing to do for you and with you. And I just want to say, We weren't keeping points this episode, but I do just want to humbly say that this episode, Shannon was up 50 points in whoever is keeping track. Shannon is in the lead.

Bryce has to give me points for scheduling, which is the worst way to win points. I will say, like, no, I mean, I win because I get to cover this season of Australian Survivor with Surrey. Like, I win.

I feel like that's so many points. Like, I'm so lucky. But we were, yeah, so lucky to have you on this podcast. I will be in San Francisco for the RHAP event in November and I'm just so upset

that there's no, I'm not getting to a Bryson Wend. No, I know. We'll be in San Francisco this season though, so hopefully our past will cross at some point in time. In my, I'm San Francisco, it's an amazing city. I love it. Yeah, I'm very excited, but that's in a long time after

this season. So this is our final preseason podcast. So what you've missed, if you haven't checked it out, is we covered every single player on the AU World Tour, where we talk through them all. If you don't want to watch Quebec in Finland, we did it for you. If you want to know about any of these players, we talked about it. We had why we're excited for the, for the season kind of like almost half kickoff a year later with Rob this week as well on, yeah, it was just with Rob. And then we had a draft with

Chappelle Pua and Mike and then we've had this. So that's been a lot of preseason podcast. I think if we count the ones we did it in like a few months ago and then a year ago, that's what like 19 pre-season podcast so it's more than the plays and it's more than the day so that's um that's been the pre-season and then the season will start sunday august 17th if you want to watch it then uh be an r chp patron and the global community will help you out but we yeah we'll have daily recats with um shepel hooya and mike three times a week i think sunday monday tuesday they're going to have weekly shows with rob as many ex interviews as they will give me Hopefully, Saree, Tony, and Poverty will be three people I speak to in the next three weeks.

If not, that's the end of me. And if so, that's the end of me. Like, there's been in different ways. You know what I mean? Like, I can't wait. I'm so excited for this season. But Bryce said, what a joy. It wouldn't be the season without getting to do this with you.
