0:01 Foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] welcome back to the nullify Tech channel here on YouTube back for the very first time in a very long time it's myself Chris Kahuna and Mucky the normal hosts that you have here on the channel for Australian Survivor it has been a minute since the three of us have been together on a podcast even though we do talk quite consistently off air I thought let's bring one of our off-air discussions on air
1:21 And get a whole bunch of Survivor fans really angry at us kuna because whenever you go out there and you claim that you have got the secret sauce to the top five players to ever play Australian Survivor you know it's going to come with some heat dried Kona always Survivor is such a opinion based sort of game and it was just really interesting and such a to get my headspace back into Survivor because me and Mucky been talking about people on an island it's just a different type of Island the last couple of weeks or months a million dollar type of Island I'm like oh and I'm like giving my headspace around how that game's played versus let's give into who's gonna be the top five Australian survivors of all time and what a massive topic to discuss I was like I'm happy to transition from Mandel Island back to Survivor with a topic like this that gets your head going again absolutely I'm so excited I am really excited for the madman of Australian Survivor Mr muxter himself to be back on a podcast with me Mucky are you about to blow things up tonight mate I'm ready to muck things up you know I can't wait to you know explain everyone on why rogus the fifth fourth third second and best all right that's it enough from him we're
2:41 Putting him into spy Shack for the rest of the night if he's going to start with a rogue top five nomination yeah it did not I feel like there was a record two minutes and 40 seconds and we already had to put him off your vote him out of the island this early on foreign I don't know why I do this to myself kuna you know I've been getting a lot more gray like this extra gray is popping out you know during this podcast with Mucky and I don't know where like I'm actually anxious I didn't sleep well last night because I didn't know who he was going to nominate in his top five players and that's right top five players not your favorite players but the players that you think you know have got the biggest Legacy in Australian survival the ones that had probably you know pound for pound is the best place to ever play the game but before we get into it the channel is growing and it's really exciting and I just wanted to thank everybody because normally I do this by the end of the live I normally go into thank you for everybody that sort of stayed with us but for those that are sort of in the beginning you know if you're new to the channel we're hoping that today we earn your subscription and at some point you'll subscribe we're getting very close to 2 000 subscribers and when we do get to 2 000 subscribers there will be a special life that we'll do around that time and it's really fitting that we have both Kahuna
4:01 And Maki on the channel because your support have been a has actually made it possible for us to upgrade both of their mics tonight so you're actually hearing all three of us with decent likes tonight so the quality of the show you know that's what we're doing for people that are subscribing people that are watching we're putting it straight back into the channel to try and work on the quality here of the show but let's say hello to a few people in the live Tom McPherson saying Dez from season one is the goat while Des already responded to me on Twitter when I when I said we were going to do this you know and he already yeah he was all amped to see who our top five is going to be I know he's very active on Twitter did you know he was that actor from Twitter Mikey I'm not on Twitter you know I think you're still my only follower I mean that's why it's X now yeah he responded to your ex yeah it's called X now you know Gabe is saying the gang is back together again does this mean Mucky really was first put an Australian Survivor lucky anything you need to confess no comment I feel like yeah no comment let's move on not again Mucky to be kicked out and then I did is saying obviously Stevie will be
5:21 In mucky's top five players of all time The Mastermind that have never ever gotten to emerge so far but before we get into the top five here serious question serious question Kona have you ever done a top five before like how did you go about deciding who your top five is going to be like what elements do you look for in a top five player it's tough I don't think for me it was it was hard because in my head there's always been I don't know if you've muted yourself maybe no am I am I still needed yeah I can heat up yeah for me it's always been especially after the most recent season George like I don't want to get into names and stuff but for me there's always been the top three and then outside of that there's a gap there's a big drop off to Fourth and then fifth for me like I did come up with four solid choices three that are locks the fourth I think deserves to be in fourth for me personally and then the fifth I think could be any one of a number of people I think the three at the top is a clear separation for me and which is why I found it hard to fit in that fifth person because who would be that fifth what I'm looking for is the
6:42 Game they played the type of game they play is it successful I also do a thing where like in my head I like to imagine if the game was played a hundred times a thousand times ten thousand times if you could simulate it over and over again how successful would their run be out of the that many simulations like even though this if we're going to start controversial if we can get people offside early Chris Andrew Diaz considered you know the queen of Survivor stuff I was never a fan of her game and in my head I kept thinking if she if we did this game 100 times those are the two only times she would win it like the game that she played I thought she won it and she won it for a square and the first person to do it great but the type of player that she was and the type of game that she played in my head she maxed out if not went over the odds so to me she performed better than she is a player and sometimes we see people that are better players than their track record or their results would suggest as well so that's always an interesting thing for me yeah I mean I've got a lot of thoughts on Sandra Diaz twine like when she won the first two times I was very low on her winning games we've got a crossover of YouTubers
8:02 That are doing survival winner rankings and myself and Jake from the nullify take channel will also be on two of the lives or one of the lives will probably be on the same one together I would assume but we've all had to submit our winner rankings so more on that to follow in the near future in regards to where I would rank the winning games of Sandra but for me one of the things I think that's really important when we look at a top five rankings is not to penalize people for games that have not been played yet that's just my personal way I'm looking at it I normally like to think about like if the game was played 100 times who would win it the most but I've also seen some arguments being made for certain players and maybe we'll talk about that when the top five comes out because I do have someone in my top five that I saw a fan of the show say if that person played more often they would not go as deep as they did and the reason that they went that deep was because of the two games they've played so that person is taking stabs at in my opinion a top five player I think both of you will have that person in your top five I could be wrong so maybe we'll go into that but I don't think it's fair to penalize people for games they haven't played yet in my mind this is purely based on the games they've played based on the track record that we have of them whether they ranking that's how I did it but I didn't ask you guys and I didn't put a criteria around how you should do your top five players at all for
9:22 Me Makia top 5 player could be different from a top five winner or a great winner like for me a winning game and a top five player is two separate things do you see it that way as well or do you think that you know you're either a great winner and a player and or you're just not a great one or a player like does that make sense oh no it makes perfect sense and someone took you know how I like to look at things as if this player I played like a hundred times or a thousand times how often would they do well because you know gohinda you've talked about Sandra kind of being a bit of a mid sort of winner or like you know like she maxed out on times that she won but for me what made me be more of a fan of Sandra is how she played after the two times she's won how she's dealt with her threat management how deep she's made it on all of her Seasons where she should have been the first one out but she manages to dodge and weave her way through which that made me like give her so much more respect for being the first two-time winner than her actual two first like winning games but yeah overall I like to thank if a playlist by 100 times how often would they do well but also like entertainment wise as well like because obviously you have some players who just who will always just Coast right they're always as close their way to the end and
10:42 Maybe they make one move at the end and win or so won't make any moves on the internet they'll still win for example so I like to think of would I also want to watch this player 100 times as well now it's not necessarily meaning that they're always entertainment and they'll only do things for the entertainment but who is someone fun to watch who will also do really well those sort of my personal criterias for so cheeky little rankings we've gotten stored for everyone else for user tonight you know I'm pumped yeah I'm excited we get I promise we're not going to hold off from getting into it because you know there is a bit to talk through I do want to ask the question though Koda how many people do you think we're gonna agree on out of our top five so if you had to take a stab in the dark do you think we'll have an overlap and how many people do you think will overlap I think Mucky is a wild card you never like as far as the overlap like who knows it's so unpredictable like I definitely don't have direct Rogue on all five on my spots like Mucky will I had a long chat with Mucky I had a long chat with Mucky beforehand and I said to him please don't sabotage the top five like do a proper top five so I've got faith that he's gonna have a good top five for us so bearing that in mind how many people do you think will overlap well I said that for me I think there's
12:02 A clear-cut top three and then the rest the kind of fillers and I think those three we should at least agree on I hope anyway yeah overall under maybe even four out of five Market overall under I think under I actually kind of believe that they're you're right kuna I think there is a clear-cut three people like if those three people are not in our top fives I kind of would question like how we came up with our top fives but we'll get into that pretty soon the other question that I had for our community was I said to I did a bit of a draw or I'd say a poll this week and I said how many Australian winners would make your personal top five players there was 105 votes 42 said two winners would make the top five 31 said one winner would make it and then the rest they were pretty low on like three or more was it 11 and none was at 15 so quite interesting bearing that in mind I wonder how many winners we've got here tonight in our top five and we'll find out very soon we're going to start off Mucky with you the Wild Child we're going to start off with you we're going to rip the Band-Aid off let us know
13:23 Who is the first player that you're gonna nominate as a top five player and why so I was starting with fifth place with first place I think for how I'm personally going to do it's I'm gonna go to the more obvious ones personally first and I would say start off with who's your overall number one let's do the obvious ones because I think I think I think that if you go down to the bottom you know maybe that's where we'll have differences so let's start off with who's your who's your number one who's the goat of Australian Survivor in your mind well I was actually hoping to say this towards the end but there's only one true number one especially here in the podcast of the nullified take it is your Mad Dog sneaky Steve baby that's your voice Mickey Steve all the time every day sneaky Steve Winston Steve has made his way to the nullify take top five players of all time now I was waiting to take this to the very end but not you know let's just get it right out of the bat so here's the thing about sneaky Steve all right you know you look at his two seasons right he was pre-merge both times
14:44 He was sort of undermined with the story what place did he come in sorry it was pretty merged pre-merge both times both times both okay but let's really have a look at it right so and the first time you play a Champions versus contenders right he started off right down at the very bottom right you know everyone was going to go after him but then someone else blew up his own game and he was able to stay but in those very crucial few early days he was able to forge an alliance with some really key players Benji and Robbie Heath has said an interview that of this one player that he wished he didn't vote out it was actually Stevie because Stevie's such a loyal but also a bit of a cunning Ally as well and we saw him and he was versus Villains as well how Stevie is able to adapt to different alliances so at first he was with you know the Simon the geordies and Michaels but then obviously I mean you can always argue that he got saved by George and that's why he's got an argument yeah really like you really could argue that but I feel like he's strategic he strategically made its way you know with George and stuff he lucked out of the swap he was the Swing Vote at a really crucial time
16:04 But we look at his vote out specifically right and the heroes for spins because for transfers contenders it was mostly about keeping the tribe strong right but for Heroes versus Villains he was put in an impossible situation where George either had to burn his relationship with Liz and Shawnee or he had to burn his relationship with Matt which he did make the right call on Matt because Matt did you know work with George pretty much to the very end until you know he voted George out but I think if Stevie makes it through that round because Liz and Shawnee actually listened to George and take out flick Steve is making it to the very end and with the type of person that Stevie is like just his personality you know he's a bit of a kooky character he's a bit cowardoke he's also got like a really good story as well behind him you know he's just someone so unexpected he's naturally so funny like I've personally had chats with him he always cracks me up so I think like you know you spoke earlier about Sandra with her maxing out on the two times playing I feel like Steve Lee it's just been in puddin two really bad spots which I feel like if he was to play again is like more likely to actually make a to the merge does that kind of make sense no you lost me right from
17:24 The start on this one man if he makes it to the merge or makes it far in the game it's because he's a goat and no one respected his game in that in that scene in the last year is those villains no one respected his game at all he was just dragged along pushed wherever tried to use as a pawn he didn't have any sway or influence or anything on the game as a whole yeah listen I think that Stevie's best chance to get to emerge would have been the season that just passed because they were playing with a lot of people there that just they were they were looking for leaders they were looking for returning players to gravitate to go deep into the game and that's why a lot of the returning players who did do well like your George Edison your shawnee's and those players they ended up you know jumping on the backs of these new players that took them to the end game so I think that's the you know we all know not a true top five player but you know bless your soul Mucky you tried you tried and I will give you I will give you 10 out of 10 for the enthusiasm in your pitch but let's bring some sanity to this thing okay now let's bring some settings right give us give us because you know monkeys said that's his number one player of all time in his top five I don't know where we go from here kuna who do you have who do you have in the top five and I don't think I don't even know if I don't even
18:44 Know if we should go according to number one two three or four or five but just these are top five players they're in their own League but bring some sanity to this like give us a nomination that we can work off and actually take seriously here because Mucky so I'll go for who I assume is a lock that I mean like I said Mucky Hoover Hill knows but Chris I'm assuming you definitely have this person on there my first pick for top five whether we're at ranking number one overall but at least that lock for sure would be Haley I think Haley is I like to look at people and we've discussed this Chris we've challenge people and stuff before as well where if you think of them as video game characters where they're different metrics are like you have you have a certain amount of points to play out I think Haley is high across all of the points she's incredibly social Keen strategic mind a challenge Beast maybe one of the best challenge beasts ever especially for a female player completely adaptable plays from different positions can change the way she approaches the game I think maybe one knock on Haley would be that she doesn't necessarily play a controlling game or a dominating game she's had this so far at least with the games presented
20:04 To her and where you play the hand that you dealt is playing from the bottom sometimes playing from the mid position and really being that adaptable flexible player when I mentioned before about running multiple simulations if we don't if we're not punishing people with games they haven't played for me Haley would be one that would be would have a collateral plurality I got it out would have more wins than maybe other players considering her overall like game makeup I think she's a incredibly well-rounded player maxed out in a lot of her stats and can adapt to any situation yeah listen we're gonna go two from two here I've got Haley in my top five as well and one of the selfish reasons I'm happy to do a top five is because I've always bagged Haley's win because I look at her when as something that stands on its own you know you get back in the game you win the game that's not the Survivor I love but I understand that is Australian Survivor so I always Mark her down as a winner where a lot of people were willing after her when to say that she was the best to ever play and I just didn't see it that way due to the fact that she was voted out by someone else in the game that sniffed out she was coming for them and you know ended up going home and she was lucky to go out on
21:25 A vote where she had the opportunity to get back into the game but when I look at her as a player separate from her winning game we had that comment made earlier I Believe by Odette where he said that you know Haley is similar to Sandra basically where Sandra potentially is a better player than a winner and I think Haley in my opinion is exactly the same she's a better player than her winning game which suggests now in a lot of ways you know you could look at her coming back in the season that she came back in brains versus sorry brains versus Braun Harris versus Village you could say while she didn't do her Legacy any justice because she didn't have as dominant a performance but I would argue that she came back with the biggest Target on her back even bigger than George That season she was in a tribe where people didn't want to play so she showed adaptability where in her first season she was the person who was setting the pace at all times strategically and pushing the moves she realized that she had to adapt to the people that were around her and that Hero's tribe didn't have the same types of characters there that she could and they weren't going to let her get away with it because they were so hyper focused on her so I feel like she adapted extremely well like you kind of sit here she's got the social skills she's got the Strategic presence of mind to be able to make big moves she was the only one I thought that could go toe-to-toe with George That season she just didn't have
22:45 The soldiers to do it she badly didn't want to play the game with him she just did it she was looking around and there was no one that she could take with her and physically we all know what she's capable of when it comes to the endurance side of things so a hundred percent you know Haley is a top five player of my mind and when I spoke about the fact that someone gave a very hot take when I did the vote here for how many winners were going to make it not to call this person out because everybody is entitled to their opinion that's what I love about Survivor is that we all have our own opinions but Lions legard said I voted zero the two closest for them would have been David and Haley but they said that Haley overall didn't think that Haley is a top five player and I sort of asked interesting take appreciated why not Haley and they came back and said I think she was highly benefited by being in a rather weak field of players in her winning season just like Kim s of Australian Survivor being a top five player of all time is insanely high standard she's abs absolutely amazing but I do not think a top five ever Mucky do you agree with that do you have Haley in your top five or did you not include her at all well you know one thing similar to Haley's Nikki Steve is that they've both been voted out twice you know what I mean so
24:12 And it's similar to what that person had commented which is I feel like in France versus Braun like strategically it was a very weak cast I feel like it was really just her and George literally just running circles around everyone throughout their entire season I feel like she needed George to stay in the game in order for her to thrive and do well similar to how George needed her to stay in the game and Thrive into very well but I guess similar to you Chris even though I'm a fan of non eliminations like that is a hard take that I do personally have I do see how like hurricane photo does sort of impact people's viewership of her winning but how I sort of see it say after she got voted out she took a message backseat and she lit George really carry and drive the strategy pretty much up until the end game I'd say final four is when Haley really stepped in with strategy to create the famous two one and then obviously she was able to decide who to go to the end of a third George or flick but it's been confirmed by like the jury and stuff as well that no one was ever going to vote for George in that scenario so Haley was going to win against George or Urban Cara as well if he's actually different would have won over Cara
25:33 As well so I felt from the game that she played getting to the end after she got found out it was very like laid back virtual which like I mean I guess long story short our growth usually is a great player but not necessarily a great winner that is just how I see things so that's personally why I've done it yeah am I tough well you're out voted with two out of three of us having Haley she makes the official list of top five players even in the top five I think that speaks to your credibility or lack there already listen it might just be it might just be by the end of this it might just be Chris aguna's top five list because maybe we're going to see eye to eye on a lot more of the votes compared to Mucky because I don't know where he's going next but I will say that there are a few people here that have thrown different points out there Atomic fierce in the saying Hayley would have been voted our pre-mich by Nina last season been saved twice Gabe is on our side Kahuna saying that I would say look at Heroes versus Villains Haley held her own against good players obviously there was a lot of good returnee players and then obviously we've also had a mention of Sean will Sean make the list for someone here well we'll you'll have to wait and see you'll have to wait to see if she does end up getting in there I will say one thing I had a look at
26:53 Survivor fact checker on YouTube because it's a it's a really good one to keep an eye on and I can say that according to Survivor fact Checker Sean has played the second most days of all time she's sitting at a hundred days so let me just see if I can bring that up so we actually get that on our screen and it'll be interesting to see how many people from this list and if you haven't followed Survivor fact Checker shout out to Survivor fact Checker go and follow them on Instagram this is the list of players who've played the most days on Australian Survivor Shawnee is at first at 124 she has played three times Sean's got a hundred George at 94 Luke toky at 93 Brook at 92 lead 88 Haley at 87 David at 84 Sam at 82 and then Harry at 81.
27:46 That's the list there so it'll be interesting to see how many people from that list does make its way into our top five but I don't Grace I'm going to be the next person here to bring someone up and my first nomination is going to be one that I think is an obvious one as well I would hope that this person does make the list at least of kahuna I'm looking at you kuna as an ally on this one but I'm going to bring in the golden God himself David Gannett you know when we talk about the goats of the game a lot of people see him as the best to ever play the game I've never really had that ranking in my mind of who's number one two or three but I like to say that definitely David is in my top five now obviously he played two seasons the first season he came out there played a very bombastic game had the charm wanted to do all these moves we still haven't seen the type of moves that he's brought into the game I think since he's left in regards to taking a fake Idol and planting it and giving it to Sean and the other side so that he can obtain a real Idol you know the sheer Brilliance of that and the you know the lack of any care in regards to getting found out was amazing and obviously him being on that swap tribe where he was at the minority when all of
29:06 The contenders came over surviving from a very dire situation surviving very early from being outside of the Champions Alliance because he wasn't really seen as a key Champion even it was all the sports stars that were gravitating together I just think when it comes to his strategic ability when it comes to his social ability and also his physical ability he really is the male version of Haley but I would say strategically he is even ahead of her because he has gotten himself out of some really sticky situations in the two seasons he's played plus a lot of people would say that All-Stars you know he went up against some of the best to play the game and beat a fully stacked All-Stars cast which wasn't the same like Heroes versus Villains where we had a half cast come back it was the full cast of proven players that have played this game before and he Head and Shoulders stood above them and it wasn't even close so the way he adapted from his first season to his second season I was so impressed by that do you have David in your top five players I do David is an absolute lock considered yeah like you said one of the best players ever regardless of franchise globally some people would put him in that top five around the world not just Australian survivors I think the golden god is like a perfect descriptor I love that he can do the play the Smiling
30:27 Social game while causing havoc in the background and everything like just being so sneaky and you would hear like sometimes people would say like David thought he was so I can't remember who I heard this interview with but someone was saying it might have been like I don't know but someone's saying that David like he's confessionals where he's going maniacal and laughing and playing up the character and there were times that you could actually hear him giving his confessions so like some people say he wasn't fooling people because they knew what he was doing to the camera off the side but obviously it pulled a lot of people because he his success is immense like you said if we're if you stuck up winners against their season someone said Hayley's game is brought down because they feel like the competition level wasn't as high on her season David's got the best resume as far as competition goes winning an All-Star season like you said there was no it was all returnees all strong players all considered All-Stars or what we had of All Stars let's just talk about a couple of the bombastic moves that he made in all stars because I mentioned a few from the
31:47 The Champions versus contenders season but he comes back in All Stars he gets revenge on the person who turned her back against him and Daisy by working with you know the opposite with Matt Rogers from the opposite Alliance and they come up with this again just outrageous plan to Bluff you know an idol play or potentially him getting voted out you know so he steals an idol in the process you know or you know gets it flushed out of the game because he knows where the idol is he's got all the information and at the same time he gets revenge on Daisy because the vote does end up going against her and he gets her voted out and then goes one step further and stealing Phoebe's Idol you know if you're a Phoebe fan you wouldn't have liked that but you know brilliant move by getting the information of where the idol is finding it and then getting Phoebe voted out while he's the first person in the history of the show to have two Idols so I mean the guy has had so many big moments and I feel like sometimes fans can have short-term memory because we've had other players come since then that have now been you know by some fans they're saying that those players have Steve a plan will maybe talk about one of those players definitely up for consideration for top five but in my mind you know like I said I've never really had a number one but I would say David goodnight would probably have to be the goat of Australian Survivor and I don't see him being displaced anytime soon Mucky tell me tell
33:07 Me at least we can agree on this one yes we can he's definitely he is my top five these are my top five I think David is one of the best winners globally hands down I think the staff here because let's not forget he didn't have time to pre-game or form strong friendships with really anyone else before going out there right all he had was his reputation everyone saw what he was able to do in some of the big moves the Madden champions for his contenders and he was still in the majority for the entire throughout the season and I think just what he's able to do with the idols as well like he accurately read that like at the tribal with that almost Drew rocks but then everyone wussed out like he actually read that by playing an idol on Tarzan just to like lower their chances like cucumber means so then it'll just be Sean drawing rocks right so therefore putting Sean at like a really difficult position but I feel like I mean Mega need to re-watch those episodes I'm not sure but I feel like there's kind of intentional as well to kind of like foreshan in a position where it's like she's going to have to let down the minority or
34:28 End up portraying someone just to like try to harm her relationships with the jury or something I'm not sure maybe that's intentional but maybe there's not I don't know but yeah I feel like David he really is one of the best players like in the global history yeah and gay brings up a very valid point here in saying that David got a zombie Alliance like Boston Rob he had players loyal to a fold on his side and one of the things I want to bring up is that David actually pivoted mid game because his Alliance the one that he started with the Lockheed and Brooks all this world and that he realized that was a tougher road to the end so he had the opportunity to go back to that Alliance when they got to the merge but he chose the easier route he chose the zombie Alliance because he knew having Moana and Tarzan and that in his group going towards the end game that was an easier win for him so again he read that situation extremely well Jonathan here says so the person who got him out has also got to make or has to make the top five well maybe that person does make the top five he'll have to wait and see if one of us nominates that person but I know you're a big fan Jonathan because I saw the comment that you had I think it was on the vote and that you said that you a big supporter of that person so let's see if that happens I did saying David is number one for him Danica welcome to the wife saying I thought this was Friday my Friday morning I have to go into
35:48 Work this morning I'll have to tune back in during the replay please do and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below when you do get an opportunity to listen to this we'd love to know what your thoughts are on our top five here Gabe is saying David to me is the best winner of Australian Survivor the best winners can make an entire season predictable boring look at Kim and Boston Rob and I would also add to that Rob bentelli from Survivor South Africa same thing you know when you're that dominant and you're running an alliance sometimes you know it can be boring to watch but it is impressive still in hindsight when you look at that Grant you're saying if you were on the island which one of these three players would you most fear Tony Blackhorse Boston Rob or David Gennady that's a bloody good question actually they're all very intimidating I feel like Boston Rob for me has shown that he can't adapt to the new age of the game like he's still playing the same game over and over so I wouldn't be as like and it's all like I would underestimate them because they're all three Legend legendary players but I feel like Boston Rob has shown in winners of War he can't adapt his game to the new age and that he is loyal to a fault with Tony and David I feel like there is an unpredictable element to those two so those would be the two players I would fear the most because both of them have shown that they
37:08 Can change their game probably David because I feel like Tony would be on everybody's radar yeah same thing as well yeah what we agree well Bucky it's time to disagree on something I guess we're gonna come back over to you who you're going to nominate after your shocking first nomination of Stevie Cal as your number one goat of all time who do you have on your list because you disagreed with us on Haley but Haley did make the top list because both myself and Kahuna voted for her and then David gennad all three of us agreed on so who are you nominating into your top five well all I gotta say is that I do have an idol in the container next to me so can I like block your guys votes on Stevie so then he definitely does make it all right let's move on with this top five takes without monkey I see he's got it on there it's right here baby it's Tony's one yeah Tony so your guys votes on Stevie do not bloody count he's in the top five deal with it no but this one Gabe you don't even
38:28 You don't even have to ask you don't even have to ask I'd be afraid he'd blow my game up that's what I'd be afraid of oh but this one I definitely feel like you guys will not have in your top five but I'm really excited that you're it would be broke but I've been specifically taught by Chris I cannot put Rogue on yeah we're voting him off the panel for the next time he's not and even that Idol is not going to save him we're replacing them with someone else we'll get one of the live audience to jump on with us but it's Mad Dog Henry the Zen hen all right tell us where do you see zinhin as one of your top five players of all time all right so I feel like in season two he played almost near a perfect game right he got in control of a Sangha obviously when he left with the idol things to kind of turn sideways but he was able to adapt make a new really powerful alliances summer towel which did eventually take over him and lock in Ziggy were pretty much controlling that whole tribe for the rest of the pre-merge and then while there are at merge he was able to adapt go back to the older singers which he was still running things
39:48 He led the Jared vote he led the Anneliese vote you know he Him Luke and Jericho stole the jam and everyone just blamed annalize and he you know he lived that hard against annalize voted her out but just like the way he got vote on season two as well like very specific things needed to happen you know it was raining in the shelter everyone was huddled together it was only just one quick word from Luke to Jericho and Sarah and that's how they're able to flip otherwise like he would not have been voted out and I feel like if he doesn't get voted out then he makes it to the end because he's a chance Beast it's got an idol I feel I could receive votes coming up for him but doesn't get eliminated he's more like aware and who potentially flip-flops around and in all Stars you can definitely make a case for like oh he flocked because he was out pre-merge but I just think sorry there's not police sirens outside for him yeah they're coming to get you because you committed a criminal offense putting somebody on fire so that they're not going to have it but Howard look at this All-Stars game is that I think he was screwed from the start I think he is a very similar player to David almost but the biggest difference between Henry and David is that
41:08 David had players who were wanting to play with them as I feel like with Henry he was stuck on the tribe where the Strategic players we're the Strategic players were after him the Harry's the next lechonis they weren't really that Keen on working with them and so it's either working with them or working with the boring athlete Alliance which Henry he is a big fan of the game he wants to make big moves you can't make big moves when you're playing with like bricks yeah I feel like I feel like there's a reason that you nominated him and I feel like your ideal is to get out there and play like the Zen hen you see a little bit of yourself in him and the way that you would like to approach the game and Gabe sort of brings it up here he says Zen hen is His Own Worst Enemy enjoys us doing crazy moves just call Just Cause no reasoning Zen hen most season high risk High reward player so you know I feel like if we look at zenhin as a player to come back a hundred times like Kahuna said his strike rate is going to be low now will he be entertaining every single time he comes back in place 100 I want zenhin to be back on third chances or whatever next All-Star season they come up with because I did feel robbed with seeing him go as early as he did in all stars but I just haven't seen from him enough to sort of feel comfortable that
42:28 There is a certain element of composure like you brought up David goodnight as a player that you know he could be like a David knut David guett has got that crazy side but everything that he does is calculated and the reason that he caught was caught the first time was because he was caught by two phenomenal players that he went up against That season one that may still make this list who knows Jonathan but you know I think that zenhen just doesn't have that composure about him and again like Gabe said here he makes big moves sometimes for the sake of making big moves like when he was in control of his Alliance in his first season and he volunteered to Mutiny or go over to the other tribe or go for a swap no one volunteers to go for a swap and his mind was like oh I'll go over there and I'll dominate that side as well and have two alliances getting to the merch and he's lucky he got to the merge to be honest That season you know so he went there and things didn't go his way he wasn't at the top I think it's one of those things where it's like if it works out he's the greatest player of all time but if it doesn't work out which like what happened it's like oh you're an idiot you're an idiot and stuff but I feel like when you look at where he was like you know every single time Luke try to go against Henry pre-merge it failed right you know I'm a big Luke fan I definitely am but when Luke tried to flip the vote under Kent instead of Joan Jones still went home
43:48 When he tried to save Mark's the wind Tome Henry had such a great you know grip on in the game there and even when you're making my case so you're making a case it was a perfect position and then when he left his Ally and Jackie went home because of a direct move that he made which weakened his position in the game you say that there weren't players that wanted to play with him there were he left those allies behind he didn't even give them a heads up that he would be doing something as crazy as he did so he actively weakened his position in the game I was winning All-Stars like in terms of places but I feel like you know in season two like they've had so much like room to move and all that sort of stuff and also specifically I feel like there was no chance the biggest question emerged like I think if you even swap Henry with David has a very similar fate as well where I feel like Dover goes pre-merge of this unoriginal makuto it's just that thing of you know David had more players he had more active players like players are lucky like AKA Brook flick Phoebe Etc their game players Matt Rogers he's a game player whereas Henry head Lee John Abby Lydia Zach and that was the majority of the tribe and the players who were strategists were gunning after him so
45:10 Yeah your thoughts on Henry you've been very quiet does he feature in your top five he does not feature in my top five he doesn't he did not even enter consideration yeah I have I have positive vibes positive things as a player I know I know he's a good player but I also have this thing where like monkey you're 21. I'm 43 and I have many years of like shoved memories of taking up the very limited resource of my brain and knowing the intricacies of what moves he took which solidify him in your top five I don't have that recall anymore I've just got too many seasons of crap just taking up space in my head too much yeah who was the number one draft pick in the NBA in 1995 like I can name that but I can't name what Henry is like this listen he's lying it's all Bachelor it's love Island it's all that stuff all the things that's rotting his brain there's a lot of stuff that runs my brain and trust me three of those things are sleeping very soundly right now that rock my brain and remembering all that sort of stuff but why I say that is because unfortunately for someone of my vintage and
46:30 Lacking memory resources sometimes I go especially the older Seasons I do suffer from recency bias a lot of the times and when I feel like okay sorry to interrupt I feel like Mucky has completely gotten the assignment wrong one of the one of the questions I asked her on the channel was what next topic should we pick up on the nullify take Channel and the topic that got overwhelmingly the most votes about 50 of the votes and there was four options was that we should do a most underrated player list top five most underrated players and I feel like maybe some of these players that Mucky is bringing up will come into question when we start talking about underrated players but we're talking about the best like it doesn't matter if your memory code isn't 100 there I hear you I'm similar to you I'm not quite your age but I'm also a bit older I've also got a lot more things going on my head but you know he doesn't feature for me very close to the top five like I don't think he's a top 10 player so even though you don't remember it and again my kids it's not the lids bag or Mucky thing here I'm sure you're gonna have your moment in the sun when we start talking about the most underrated players and you're probably gonna have the best and the hottest Stakes when it comes to that but I don't know about top five here
47:50 He doesn't break through the memory fog for me at all like there are certain players like from certain Seasons especially when you talk about like the US survival where there's 45 44 Seasons you go oh what happened on season 16 you're like I don't remember anything except that this one person won or that this person was a big character or this person had big moments and the thing that sticks out the most for Henry to me is that he did that one thing on Survivor which is like a massive pet peeve of mine is why do they about their profession like oh I'm not going to tell people like doing the freaking yoga instructor thing is so cringe and lame and he did a lot of good things I do have very positive memories of him but when the next impression for me I'm like go away dude don't do the fake yoga thing like that shut up just say you're in construction or a carpenter or whatever and play the game don't do yoga instructor like I hate that yeah go for it I do just want to say you know as much as you guys love to bag on me you know one day one day you'll feel sorry for it but that's it right from the start how I personally see it right is I think of Henry plays a hundred times he makes merge majority of those times because I feel like this and all-stars
49:11 There's one time in North Stars he was literally just stuck in an impossible situation I feel like majority like 98 97 of the times he finds players he can play with it goes big and doesn't necessarily win you know 100 of those hundred no like probably not 100 over 100. top five how could he be a top five best player in the franchise's history if you don't think that he is going to win the majority of the times like because we're looking at Players here Haley and David being on that list right now if they played a hundred times I would put money on it that they would win a high percentage of those games so how can you compare against players like David and Haley well I personally don't think David wins a lot of the times either but I do think David and Haley as well does go really far every time they play and that's why I think of Stevie this I think of Henry as well I feel like they both go very far in both times he's played yeah well just say it's not about the games that they've played you know like there hasn't been a single player that's played 100 times when I said before Sandra probably maximized like if she can win twice
50:31 Out of 100 we saw those two times they're the two possible best games come out to win both times do you think Stevie then being a much better player than his results would dictate these are potentially his worst performances if you were to simulate it multiple times a hundred times he's played the worst he probably possibly would yes okay you see this is the thing Jonathan this is the thing that for me the great players of this game do they adapt their game they get better every time they come back they become a better player and even though Sandra hasn't won since the two games that you know Kahuna has said the only two games she would have won she's become a better and better player every single time she's come back even though she hasn't won the results haven't shown but that's the that's the makings of a legend that's why I do give Sandra now I give her flowers she is the queen she does deserve all the respect because I can see that she has got it in her David is another example we saw him go from his first season and get better we did not see that worth Henry we didn't see him get better we saw him go backwards but again I don't want to make this about Henry the whole time here I do respect that we all have different opinions but I want to come back to Kahuna you've got to bring it home for us here with this next one who do you have as the next
51:51 Nomination for a top five player I think again I think we'll be on the same page Chris never know with Mucky but I have to put an unlock for me it instantly has to be King George arguably the best mind for the game that we may have ever seen just so clever so strategic he sees all the angles he makes good reads he's resourceful I think he's that run he had on Heroes versus Villains as far as individual performances at a tribal council goes the way he's just like got the entire television production and the audience us watching just on strings just like manipulating us the whole way and enjoying the ride I think when I talk about how I look at a player where their stats are and stuff strategic he's maxed out entertainment wise and what he brings to a television production maxed out I think where his weakness would be his physicality and challenges and things like that and that's his biggest knock is because unfortunately for George there are times where like we've seen with Haley we've seen with David we've seen with other winners where you've got the strategy you've got the social but when
53:11 That fails there's sometimes needing to get that win or getting be even before merge and getting your team a win so you don't go into tribal avoiding that risk is part of playing the game right and he can't add that element to his game he can't save himself by winning an individual immunity he can't get his team to avoid elimination like tribal councils by helping his team or contributing to the win as much as he as other players that I consider great but strategically mind wise brain power all that he brings to the game that way I think he's one of the best ever we've seen strategically he just I don't think he can win a jury because of that threat people know how amazing he is and I think that his own reputation and his own skill set potentially works against him and he doesn't have the physical side to back it up all right before I say if he's in my top five Mucky we're going to go over to you what do you think of George is he and your top five have you finally agreed on a play here in the top five or I haven't even yeah that's right don't try to bring it unnecessary you know hate towards me Mr Chris and this is gonna blow people's marbles but no it's
54:32 Not a Montana fire and I'll tell you why because you've got Stevie and in me there Georgia's only time to win was Heroes versus Villains I don't think he wins any other season I think the first time he played he like you know I guess similar to Henry in All Stars he was making you know big moods for the sake of it he had the wrong reads and everything and he they basically got saved by Haley like let's be if it wasn't for Haley he was saved and kind of you know throughout France versus Braun we saw make all these really poor social decisions that kept pissing people off like we need photo image he was you know shouting from the booth you know if I had to stand there and look pretty I'd be bitter as well you know and but I feel like he plays up for the entertainment but that damages his social game a lot and the biggest knock you know you talk about the players of David and Halle leading the physicality George is never going to win that final challenge George like you can like I think what Matt and Liz
55:52 Did with George was really good because they know for certain that they could beat George at the final chance right all they got to do is just stick it out there claim the creator of taking out you know the king of banks down and then that's the game winning move because essentially that was Liz got the credit for taking out George right and that was a game breaking like quote unquote biggest move you can say the difficult a lot of the Jew to vote for her so I think George's big knock says he's never going to win a challenge so he's never going to be able to provide himself towards the end he always needs someone to take him to the end and I personally feel like the best players don't need to rely on other people the best players can make it through themselves can make their own decisions and Pathways to get to the end whereas I feel like George every time he needs like a like pretty much has five or three with Brands versus Braun is essentially perfect because it gets to the end no matter what but you know he also doesn't win in either case but thank you I did I love you I love you okay but they're very scarce but yeah that's my overall thoughts opinions on George I feel like I've been considering the quirkiness
57:13 The lack of physical challenge capabilities with George is he not actually maybe you know like if you look at archetypes and molds is he not in a similar mold or an archetype to Stevie but just way better strategically well how can you have time that's a very good they're very like if you were picking your players they would be in the same like type of player that you would choose from right like a Simon and a SAM would be the similar kind of player or maybe not actually strategically but like you have the physical Beast you have the challenge the social player the I think George and Stevie would be similar especially considering George's George is the Lamborghini and Stevie is the mini you know yes I can't stand his haters guys no but I think I think as well listen though I do think I do think Bucky just to bring it up I think you brought up a really good point with the end game because we've spoken about that for quite a while when we covered Heroes vs villains where we said he's not gonna get to the end because he's not going to win at the end which is a very big flaw in his game and the physical part of it is something that I think as long as he plays
58:33 The format of Australian Survivor is always going to be a problem for him and he and he hasn't really shown himself to be that great the mental side of it either like I haven't seen him dominate a puzzle or anything like that when he's played there so those are definitely some good knocks on his game but I just think that the positives outweigh the limits that he has so much you know we're gonna agree on the third person here he's definitely in my top five you know I'm not blind to the weaknesses of the man and the things that he don't do well but the things that he does right he does so well like strategically there is no one that thinks faster than him and I think that no matter how many times he goes out there and plays the game he will always get close to the end game now will he get into the final again I don't know because the problem again when I'm looking at players that I think are great those are the players that adapt their game and he had a very good game the first time he went out there and played the game but the second time he did add to his social game we kept getting told while everybody loved him if he was to make the final he would have won people would have voted for him his social game got so much better so the fact that he could pivot and work on his weaknesses that he had which was clearly his social game the first time he played the game that makes some extremely dangerous there's nothing you
59:54 Know who's to say he couldn't go back and get better at the physical game who's to say he couldn't go and work on other aspects of his game and come back an even better player so for me personally I don't think like there was a lot of talk about George being the goat and immediately I was like how can you put him above some that have won the game before especially like a David goodnight who in my mind is the goat off Australian Survivor I was very shocked by that but does he deserve a spot in the top five I don't think there is a bigger name an Australian Survivor outside of David gennard George and maybe one more name we haven't mentioned right now I think those are like the biggest Titans you know of the game who knows maybe we see them in Titans actually I want to put that out there we've had too many people coming back but you know George definitely has to make the list of top five so I do have him in there and he is going to be added onto it I have seen that there is a few people here that have commented so let's just read a few of the comments that have come in Gaba said George is probably Australian survivor's based strategic player that man can prepare a thousand plans for multiple outcomes we saw it even in that season where Hayley and Shawnee and everybody I mean Shawnee is not a bad player but she couldn't keep up with his mind and how quickly he was thinking and preparing for blindsides you did mention one thing that confused me Mucky you said that Haley
1:01:14 Saved him refresh my memory on where she saved them the Joey vote right because it's wrong so Kara had already gone to Brawn and Brands had just lost Haley he just grabbed the challenge I do as well he was done and out of the water I think yeah so I actually give credit to her for convincing Haley that he was an option I don't think it knocks his game I think it shows that she wanted someone she could play with strategically That season and he gave her an option so clearly he appealed to her so I don't know if I would knock his game necessarily on that as badly but I will say you know the fact that he twice voted Haley out of the game and got the better off her strategically and we have Hayley in our top five automatically means that he's got to be a top five Contender if myself and Kahuna like that's our top five lists if we rate Haley a top five player how can you not have the person who voted her out twice in the top five list as well so I feel justified by having him in this list Jonathan's saying George is a great talker but I think he come off as almost apathetic at times towards other people he did come off a bit cold sometimes I will say that and that's what was so confusing to me that's that a whole season kuna is because people kept talking about how
1:02:35 Good a social Gamers but sometimes he seemed a little bit like the George we knew from brains versus broad right yeah I mean I think he just it's also just in his affectation and the way he talks can be very polarizing like my wife sits here and goes oh he's so creepy and weird the way he talks I'm like he's just talking like but it I think it hits people the wrong way and especially the audience but I think if you're there in person with him I think that goes away completely and he seems to have made genuine connections and very real friends and like you said the testimonies from people that spent actual time with him was that he did improve his social game a lot they love them etc so I think the proof of this in the pudding that it shows how social he was and that he did improve the way he interacts with people because they said so rather than just what we see on TV yeah odessa's jaw doesn't survive the early game of blood versus Rob brains versus Braun without Haley advantages also might have been voted first out of Heroes versus Villains if he wasn't injured in the first challenge that is a possibility but I do think that Shawnee would have kept him safe she really wanted to work with him in that early stages of the game and that is the part of the game I think that is George's at his weakest when it comes
1:03:55 To those early stages and the fact that he's been able to survive every single time that's pretty amazing because he doesn't really bring back bring much from a challenge perspective like I said he's not physically going to dominate and he's not necessarily going to be the Mastermind and the puzzle parts of it but you've got to look at the results the proofs in the pudding man this guy has dominated two seasons that he's been on I would say out of all the players that have come back twice he's been the most consistent over both of his Seasons because I already made the claim that he was the best strategic player not to win after his first season I feel even more Vindicated after the second season that he played but enough on George here we do have denica in the car saying she just realized that the top five Australian players are listening in the car as I drive to work George Luke David Harry and Shawnee are my five out of the top of my head well we already have George and we have David so far in there so let's see if we have more of your list coming in so to refresh everybody's on who the top five is so far myself and Kahuna have gone pound for pound we've had three in a row that we both Hayley David gennard and George those are our first three that we've agreed on Mucky has nominated David gennett he agreed on nap on with us but then he also had zenhen and
1:05:15 Stevie Cal Andy both of them said he did not make it but I'm gonna be nominating the next one here for our top five and the next nomination and this is where maybe we still have some common ground here kuna or maybe we have started veering off and we've only hit those three players but this person is my personal favorite player of all time of Australian Survivor and as someone that I think people might disagree with but I feel like this person is the sarif fields who I saw the comment earlier by the way from I think it was Andrew or somebody that said that sir refills is now playing Big Brother 25. I'm aware of that I actually watched it I even watched a little bit of the live feeds which is unheard of for me but it's I'm such a big story fan I needed to see what was going on in the house she's playing with her son and big brother over in the US which is pretty exciting for us Survivor fans but this person is the Surrey fields in my mind of Australian Survivor and the reason I say this is because they're a social game if we're gonna give George all the credit for being the Mastermind strategist of Australian Survivor I don't think there's anybody who has a better social game maybe Shawnee would challenge this person but it's Luke Toki the people's Champion his first season was a bit chaotic like Mucky said there
1:06:35 Was times he went after Henry didn't fully work but eventually he got control of his Alliance eventually got control of his tribe that season he went into the merge after having galvanized Sarah tiliki and Jericho together in an alliance and he was the biggest threat that was voted out early but where was really impressed with him was his second season coming back and learning from his mistakes being in the Champions versus contenders season coming back as the only returning player being dubbed the people's Champion so everybody there knew he was very popular everybody knew he knew what the game was about he was outside of the numbers on their Champions tribe how he went about his business and getting Ross over to the dark side you know going out at night and being willingness with him while they were eating bananas from Camp I believe it was that they were stealing together so they could were complicit how he managed to just you know get the likes of a David Gunner to work with him a very powerful player in this game someone that he had a strong bond with Janine and Pierre who was close to him in that First Alliance both also very solid players and how he then got swapped into a very bad situation being on the outs and still managing to work his way through to the merge and then very agonistically getting to the end you know he could he could taste the money and
1:07:55 Then just falling short after winning four individual amenities he's got the physical game he's got the strategic game I think he's got the best social game in Australian Survivor how could I not nominate the people's Champion 93 out of 105 total days that's a pretty darn good strike rate I'm gonna go over to Mucky first before we go to the Kona because he's the one that normally disagrees with me but he loves the big characters so I've got my fingers crossed that he likes this big character do you have Luke tokien your top five yes I do haha yeah I mean yeah right you know he is people called David the god of Australian Survivor I actually probably think Lucas would go of Australian Survivor just he brings so much entertainment and to everything he does not just in Survivor but just everything he does like you know with big brother you know he's gonna be on the traitors as well and we'll and so many new fans just follow him everywhere because he's got such a heartwarming story you can tell it's just a ripper of a bloke but he also brings such great strategy it's sometimes it's very chaotic strategy but it somehow always works just like how he blindsided Abby and the final five of Champions vs contenders my all-time favorite
1:09:15 Move in Survivor history right my number one favorite move is the three to two to two to two vote he pulled on Tessa like how the hell in the final nine can three be a majority with no Idols or advantages being played there's no twists either but you know he mucked things up you know what I mean he you know he no but Luke he's just great and for those who haven't watched big brother I highly recommend going to watch the season of Big Brother because even then here's some catalog strategy and he was able to deposit off significantly because of his intense social game he's definitely the best social player strategically he's great physically he's great as well I forgot do we say he's an improved he's an improved version of Surrey Fields could we say that because he's got the physical ability as well that Siri doesn't have it doesn't sound like you guys want to want to piss off the fan off I really do but yeah I think for three yeah like Luke social player very similar to Siri but because he has that physical
1:10:36 Side as well it makes him more of a threat than Siri like I don't think Siri was ever really I was Mucky who said it I didn't say it yeah I don't think Siri was ever painted as much of a physical threat so had that going for her whether social can carry a little bit more because she doesn't have to worry about being voted out for being physical whereas Luke always had that dangerous element there as well so yeah not 100 I mean I love I love Luke you know kingmaker Luke Toki obviously everybody here at lines with they do end up going on and winning the game sadly he has never won Survivor but you know he did go and play Big Brother I don't necessarily want to spoil that for you but go and have a look at big brother because he has a pretty good darn run on there as well and we know that he's going to be on Traders Australia which will be covered on the nullified Tech Channel that's right I will be back here hosting it with none other than Tom McPherson I don't know if he's still in the live chat here Tom's gonna make an appearance a number one soon yeah it's gonna be It's Gonna be Me Tom and Mucky with no Kahuna as an ally to keep them in check so you know the Traders coverage might be a little bit wild coming into the season so I'm looking forward to that in any case
1:11:56 But yeah you know Luke definitely such a such a fun player to watch is there anything else you wanted to add to Luke being in this list here kuna fun fact both Luke and David goodnut was inducted into the nullified take Hall of Fame at the end of last year as the two first players to be inducted from Australian Survivor so it would have been pretty shocking if they weren't on the whole at least in the top five after being inducted into the Hall of Fame and that is a fan-led poll we will do another one towards the end of this year so keep an eye out for that I had Luke in my top five he was as I said the top three little bit of sky and then Luke for me sneaks into the not maybe he's not sneak scene but it for me is a lock in the top five in that fourth position for me again carried by his social game so strong socially he's just so effortlessly charming and gets everyone on side like that Aussie Bogan larican thing which people just kind of love he has it in Spades it's just oozing out of him to the point where he gets people on side no matter what as far as physical goes he's always got he's always competent and he's at the top but never necessarily dominant he can definitely pull out a win he can help contribute to your team's success if not be one of the main contributors
1:13:16 To that he's a bit of a beast but he doesn't compete with like I mean who does with a Lockheed or a Sean or something like this he's not a horse he's not like one of those big beasts on the squad but certainly able to contribute and able to be that challenge not necessarily base but competitor that he needs to be because I think the knock-on he's got that he's got that minor strength what are you talking about he's not a horse you know he does he doesn't yeah absolutely I think the problem with Luke is because he is so strong socially people won't want to go to the end with him and we've seen that already the only way for him to really get there is to I think he hits a certain point and he has to win out because he is so well loved the people's Champion literally I think he got more than the winner from his from the GoFundMe after losing like after getting voted out he was such a so popular with the fans they did a GoFundMe for his family in the difficult situation they were in but I think he ended up getting more money than the actual winner of the show he did he does but yeah but he gave back anything that he earned above 500 000 so anything above that he refunded people back and said don't keep giving me more money you know just yeah thank you for helping and I think that's goat status as well because you
1:14:36 Know outside of Rupert no one else have ever been giving the same prize money as the winner of a season just by being the fan favorite so that was pretty impressive pretty impressive to see lachlan's land saying yeah I feel like the top five is easy you should do a top 10 there's more contention clearly you haven't been here since the start there's been contingent through this whole bloody thing because Mucky on Lucky's had some wildflucks here in the top five so you know accurate it's always accurate but we will be doing we will be doing top five most underrated players at some stage as well my fear is that if we did a top 10 it would have probably gone off for quite a bit longer because we've already done this for like an hour and 15 minutes but it's been a lot of fun to go back and forth on all of our picks let's move on to the sorry before that I also just wanted to answer this for Andre asking if I will do bb25 reviews sadly not because the problem for me is I can't keep up with the live feeds and I know that if I was to do it on the show there would be so many people coming onto the channel That would be like no this is what's happening on the live feeds you're completely wrong because the edit is not accurate and that's just too much drama for me to deal with right so I mean if I could do it on the show alone if it wasn't live feeds I would have definitely considered it but I'm not I'm not keeping up with the live feeds I don't have that kind of time
1:15:57 All right let's go into the last pick here for everyone I believe that it's at the last pick Mucky who do you have as your final top five pick let us know it was a really hard one this last one it was really difficult it really goes it keeps on going back and forth between these two players like I keep like writing it out but then it'll be half one day half another name and then like I feel like these players if there's ever an honorable mention it is hard luckily in his heart it counts but so far he's been outvoted because you know myself and so to give you a quick recap here myself and Kahuna have actually agreed on four out of our five top five picks so far which is pretty impressive and if two people agree then that person is in the people we have not agreed on have been Stevie he didn't make the list sadly it's very tight I was considering it for a second did not make the list and who else did you have that you nominated in this and David and Luke David look so yeah David and Luke we were all in agreement so those two votes did not make it sadly but you know Mucky can redeem himself here on this last one
1:17:17 Who does he have as his last and final top five pick oh you see I want to call some mukham again but I actually want to try to if I can actually slide on in okay I'm gonna try to see if I can cheekily slide my way in but my fifth player is Benji Beach on the contenders and he's always been a player they've wanted to come back and I know it's not just me production's been wanting them to come back I believe he's been asked for All Stars for blood vs water maybe he was asked for Heroes versus Villains I'm not sure if I know that he has been asked for me to come back but he's always at all stars he almost was on but then he had to turn it down for blood vess water I'm not sure what happened there who is his villains I'm not sure if he was asked or not but I reckon Benji on a return would be such a dangerous mad player I feel like you know Binger he's one of those players where he's got a strategic mind of George I really do think that and I think if he was able to play again he would be able to really show that because he went from being absolutely purpled for the first two weeks of the show to been a top Contender to
1:18:37 Win by the merge you know and I feel like in terms of Power Players he pulled off the one of the biggest Power Players I reckon if we were to do a top five you're going to power plays The Strand Survivor his move against Matt Rogers and getting sh and calling out Sean's auto play stopping her from playing on Matt in the middle traveler council is legendary you know and so yeah so yeah I think Benji is a legendary player he's definitely someone who I would love to see come back and yeah no all right so I like I like a ditz idea here he's saying you should nominate your last picks and discuss the three nominees as a whole I don't have Benji on my list I don't know if Kahuna kuna do you have Benji on your list do we do we I did not have Benji on my list yeah I don't I don't think Benji is a bad nomination I think there is a case to be made in the top 10.
1:19:42 I think there's a case for him to be somewhere close I haven't actually thought out if he is even in the top 10 but he could get close to the top ten like he's not a bad player but maybe just outside maybe 11 foot 12 he might just not sneak into a top ten for me yeah but this next player that I'm going to nominate I'm not confident that Kevin and I'm are going to agree on the on the last one so I will nominate this person and then we can I'll do a quick talk about it and then let's see if Kahuna disagree then we're five from five which would be amazing and when I did my top five I realized that I was leaning heavily towards the latter parts of Australian Survivor it wasn't really the early Seasons that impressed me as much but it was mentioned here earlier by Jonathan that the person who took out David goodnight should be in the top five if David could notice the best player of all time I have that belief myself as well I've always been a very big PR fan and PR is in my top five Pierre Miranda and I know that is someone that some people have loved her some people have not loved her one because she took out Luke Toki but in my mind in her season she outplayed two of the greatest to ever play Australian Survivor and if you've outplayed two of them even if you've played one season that is pretty darn
1:21:03 Impressive and I think that Pierre doesn't play the type of game that I normally find entertaining when it comes to Survivor I like the players that are out there in the front making the bombastic moves but I think that there is no one else that have played Australian Survivor that have managed their Threat Level better than Pierre Miranda she went into that season she was a Target very early on the Champions tribe the sporty Alliance they were cut they were gunning for her she did not get others to save her she went to work to get the numbers to save herself to convince those that were on the fringes to move with her and Janine and create this extra Alliance that could work on the sides which became the core of the whole season she ultimately ended up playing with godmother allowing the Godmother to take the hits using the shield that the Godmother provided for her and Abby as the challenge Beast sitting behind that as a Silent Assassin just to come out of you know the Shadows at the right time to climb the win at the end and I feel like if she comes back she could be the Sandra Dias twine of Australian Survivor where people could underestimate her because she wasn't the biggest character of her season but I feel people will Overlook her and
1:22:23 She could become the first two-time winner that we see on Australian Survivor I would not be surprised the only problem is I've spoken to PR a few times who knows we might still get her because she's quite Keen to come and talk about Survivor us she's always said she'd love to talk about Survivor us on the show so maybe we get her as a guest at some point to come and talk to us about Survivor us but I don't know if she'll go back to play Australian Survivor because her experience with Australian Survivor and the fan reception when she won really put her off with the fact that Luke was so popular and another little bit of insight but around Pia is that when I did an interview with her as well about her time playing Champions versus contenders she let me in a little bit of information that David was on a phone call with her quite a few times to strategize on how he should adapt his game going into All-Stars and I'm not saying that she If he if I'm not saying that she should be credited with his win he won but clearly he adapted the things that didn't work so well so he wanted to know you know the girls were on to him very early on in her season and he wanted to know how could I be different if I had to work with girls and things out there how could I approach them differently and how could I include them better and what should I adapt to my game and she did give a lot of advice both her and the Godmother gave him a lot of advice so I personally have always
1:23:43 Rated PS game very highly I'm very interested I haven't read any of the comments I don't know where people are sitting I know Jonathan is a big fan of Pia as well [Music] or does she need allies like godmother and Abby similar to JT needs Steven yeah it's a it's a great question I think that the stop one of the things that's unproven right with Pierre is that worked for her that season because she had someone capable of making moves while she was still very involved because remember throughout that whole season Janine kept telling us she's not making these strategic decisions on her own PR's just as involved she called Pierre the Sicilian sitting behind her still making the moves with her so I do think that there was a combination of them working together so you could also say maybe she wouldn't have been able to make those moves Janine wouldn't have been able to make those moves without the likes of appear as well so it could have been either or it could be a JT Steven Fishback kind of situation but I do think that she is the kind of person that just manages her Threat Level extremely well where she can sit behind players you're not going to go through a whole season without there being players like zenhin who wants to make the moves like
1:25:03 A David gennett who wants to make the moves like a Luke toky who wants to make moves I think her social game is good enough that she could get in with them and sit behind them until it's time to cut them loose so that's why that's literally her stream I feel like if we're looking at highly great all-round player David great all-round player George strategic Mastermind Luke socially the best Threat Level different way of playing this game managing that Threat Level and I think that is where she excels that's why I'm nominating her personally Jonathan pointed out that she was of course the second unanimous female winner ever by the way and people Overlook that people overlooked that a lot of the times so anyways so Kahuna I'm interested to know do we go for your nomination next or do you have a do we have an agreement there do you have someone else I don't agree with Pierre I don't agree with Pia I love Pia Miranda I was so stoked to see her on the season I was I was actually in year 12 doing my HSC on the my HSC book was looking for Ella Brandy and that movie came out at the time when I'm 17 years old and have its crush on this main character that I'm studying so I have a very soft spot in my heart for Peter Miranda for in 20 plus years now
1:26:23 But just before you nominate yeah just before you nominate audience this is where you're gonna get involved so get ready this is going to come down to a vote very soon between the last three because we need a tiebreaker okay I just want to say yeah I don't put as a top winner for me so mucky's got Benji you've got the European Miranda Kahuna who is the third person that we're going to put out there to a vote and then I will bring a poll up in the live so you can vote for your favorite player or the player you want to make the top five Listia kuna let us know who I actually put forward my person that I think or do I try to think who would the audience vote for me to get the win on that you know I would say stay true stay true to what you were going to do yeah well I mean as I said I had a clear top three I had Luke as a solid four and that fifth spot for me was really wide open to think of someone who dominated who did all the thing it was a lot harder to find that fifth person for me and I was kind of oscillating between a few I had Shawnee in my mind for her social game I had Mark as a potential because he's a winner I think he played a strong game but much of it was tied to Sam I
1:27:44 Loved Matt Rogers when he played but I think I'm gonna have to go to and this might be a Mucky choice for me this might be one that I think is a solid choice but it's more personal and emotional bass than maybe factual and based in reality wow but I do think I will get some love for this and I think Chris you would rate my person very highly as well but I'm going for Brook as Brooke is a top five player for me I loved her on the season I think she was so showed so many strengths so many like physically socially strategically she seems to be again one of those total package players that ran into you know ultimate betrayal by her bestie in the game you know that sort of thing where she kind of seemed to be on a good track and then ultimate betrayal again with Lockheed I don't even talk about that guy throwing away the biggest mistakes in the history of anything ever by the way having Brooke and then letting that but yeah I think she's a very solid player and for my fifth pick I maybe chose more with heart than results but I think she's strong smart friendly social and seems
1:29:04 To have a total package and when I said before there's some players outperform what their capabilities are I think she's the opposite I think she could probably do a lot better than we've already seen her do successfully so far but I think her skill set and her package is probably more or should have yielded better results than what she's gotten so far I feel very similar to Jonathan here that all three probably features in the top 10 or very close to the top ten in any case I'm a big Brook fan as well so I feel very good about the fact that the last one is going to come down to the audience to decide there's actually one that none of us agree on and I've put it to the audience to vote for who they think should be added to the top five so now is your opportunity to add who you think should be added to this top five as well so go and vote in the live let us know if it should be Pia brook or Benji that's going to be added and I saw some people wanting to sabotage here saying we should vote for vote for the person that Mucky put out there to sabotage myself from because you know because we've been getting a lot of food going our way so far here on this live this is all your Fanboys Mucky that's coming here and trying to mess up your vote exactly I do have my fans out there you guys aren't my fans but
1:30:24 I do have some fans to have some fans out there Brooke by the way people are saying luckily and say no locking Arena are a cute couple yeah but listen I still think I don't even know this other girl but Brooke is stunning so you know and she's a challenge Beast yeah so you know six individual immunity wins yeah so she's the she's the ultimate Challenge Beast of Survivor but let's have a look at the votes where's the votes going at the moment at the moment we've got eight votes so far in there Pierre is leading the vote by 50 and Benji at 38 and then Brooke at 12 off the vote come on so yeah no you know what it's like to be on the bottom bro you know I've been stuck it's because I just I mentioned it last so that's why she's getting oh okay ironically the other person who I was topping up was flick yeah flick yeah flick flickers season one yeah she's a decent plan and also while I like you the fact that you brought Brooke up is because I did say we didn't have many people from those early Seasons even though she was probably even more impressive coming back in all-stars dominating against a
1:31:45 Very stacked you know group of players when it comes to the physical challenges and she ended up still winning as many amenities as four I believe that season which is pretty impressive to see if you look at who she went up against in the likes of David gennard for instance and was it Zack the bodybuilder there were some physical specimens on that season that she went up again so that was pretty impressive to see but I will say as we're closing the vote off here that Pierre Miranda does officially get inducted into the top five at 56 percent of the vote Benji are sitting at 33 of the vote coming in second with Brooke at 11 off the vote so yeah what a what a good top five I feel pretty happy with that I actually got a hundred percent of the top five all make our top five I'm glad to see Pierre get a little bit of love as well when it comes to the top five because like I said her experience with the fandom having had conversations with her with her and I think it's the not the fandom like ourselves the ones that listen to all these podcasts that get involved online I think we understand why PR had to cut you know Luke at the end to win the money because she was out there to win the bag and she's a you know she's the
1:33:05 Biggest Survivor fan like she's watched it since the first season she was a massive fan of the US franchise as well so imagine going out there and then you have this bad experience with the Casual fandom in Australia that's kind of what she had to go through a lot of that bullying part of it afterwards so at least there's a bit of love being given out here on the nullify take Channel I feel very happy with the top five that we have got here the next topic is going to be even more interesting that's going to be the one where we talk about who's the most underrated or undervalued players of Australian Survivor so I think Mucky that's going to be your opportunity to shine because you know you're probably going to come out with some left field picks on that point yes now I'm excited I'm excited I wonder if any of my picks will make the bloody top five this time or if any of you will even agree with me but I guess we'll see how all that goes yeah I'm excited I'm super excited evely isn't on that list yeah well there's a possibility Lee could be on that list lead to me was the Colby Donaldson of Australian Survivor season one you know not that he took necessarily you know Christy to the end but just he did almost every yeah well Christy won so
1:34:25 She took him to the end but you know she won the final immunity but I feel like just in the way that he was such a physical specimen That season but you know and strategically he didn't do he was probably even strategically better than Colby so I don't even know if it's a fair comparison to be honest but yeah we'll have to go and think about that will be one of our next topics but before we do that topic next week here on the channel have a look at the live coming up with myself and Survivor Bandit from YouTube as well he's from the UK so guess what I had to get the only UK YouTube content creator that I could think of on the channel so we can talk about the upcoming season of Survivor UK you know will it flop or will it succeed that will be the topic of discussion when we get together next week with some other Bandit to talk about Survivor UK coming up and then after that we've got quite a lot of shows that are starting to Premiere now we've got the challenge coming up we've got Traders starting very soon so of that will be covered here on the channel and we will have some more Survivor Australian Survivor content before the Survivor us season start as well so if you like this type of content once again consider subscribing we're getting close to 2 000 subscribers all of your supporters much appreciated everybody that is in the live tonight you were brilliant thank you for taking part in the vote and getting my vote Pierre over the line I
1:35:45 Appreciate it very much code any final thoughts there from you before we finish this live off now a great live great top five except for Mucky yeah I'm happy with that the fact that we relined on four out of the five and then to have Pia as the fifth I'm not I'm not hating on that at all I think it's a really good session didn't bring Jericho up I thought the Filipino connection yeah I mean he's always a special place in my heart I love the man to no end but I mean he's probably top 10 maybe I don't know I don't know like I haven't he was being he was being set up to fail in all-stars in my mind so I wouldn't even consider his All-Star game I would only look at his first season that he played and I enjoyed him as a winner in fact that's one that we should do in the future is rank the winners as well I know that'll be very controversial when we do that but yeah for now that is it here I am congratulations to Survivor for the logi win we didn't even bring it out Australian Survivor winning the Loki that's that was phenomenal and obviously having the Aeros versus villain season it was so impressive very well done to everybody that took part in the heroes versus villain season but for now that is everything that we have here for
1:37:05 This if you just jump in at the end this was a very spicy live there's a reason it took us an hour and 37 minutes Mucky kept myself in Kahuna on our toes with his nominations throughout this whole hour and 37 minutes so make sure to go back and listen to it from the start to take part in all of the shocking react actions from the live audience and myself for Kahuna as Mucky gave us a Zinger after Zinger nomination every single time but for now thank you everybody for watching and we'll catch you guys next week bye
