Million Dollar Island: Episodes 8-9

0:03 Foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] Tech Channel on YouTube where we've got all the TNT text for you on million dollar Island Australia for the very first time this season I'm your host Chris and with me is our regular co-host Mucky how you doing buddy I'm doing so good Brothers I'm doing so good it's been a while Chris since we've done a chicken little podcast together so yeah I think the last time we were on the podcast together was probably the finale week

1:23 Of Australian Survivor obviously million dollar Island picked our interest because it looked like there was going to be so much similarities to Survivor what's your thoughts on that Mucky do you feel like there are similarities between the shows or do you feel like it's pretty much two completely different shows they're just both on an island I think they're both completely different shows while there's like Survivor elements like I feel like a lot of challenges are Survivor related but made team times harder like in the first week there was a fire making challenge but instead of like trying to burn through a rope it's keep the fire overnight and then try to burn through a rope by transferring into another fire so I feel like a Survivor but way harder yeah it's I think the thing for me that makes the game hard is that there are very large elements of luck in the beginning of the game I didn't really like the roulette spin all that much to get power because I feel like it's you know you don't technically and I put that in quotation marks you know deserve to win by a lucky roulette but as the game continues now there are some strategy coming into it because you know as Jonathan here saying hello Jonathan welcome to the live you know not a great week for life because they lost half their bracelets is becoming such an important thing in the game right now because you know certain camps like Vine camp for instance they have

2:43 No bracelets yes they've got they've got nothing but food you know the lower numbers they've got to embrace those but they've got a crap tons of food but hey you know log's got you know a lot of braces a lot of people but no food so what really matters something you know yeah food medicine [Laughter] it's I'm so excited to be back on a life this is the first life I've done in quite a while but obviously I've been talking about the season and the top five takes the whole time but that's just Snippets so I don't get too fully you know go back and forth with someone on some of my ideas so I'm sure you'll keep me on check on a few of them but let's say hello to a few of the people who are in the live Danny Carr Welcome Back to Life saying I'm just dropping off my husband to work and heading back in to tune in or we'll be listening in the car well welcome to the live really good to have you here Andre welcome to the live I noticed that you started watching this week as well and commenting on some of the top five takes Kahuna recovering in pain but I can miss but I can't miss these two Hey listen we're very happy that you're taking time or recovering to listen to us today Kahuna you sit back kick your feet up we've got this don't worry about it you've been doing a really good job this season I've been very impressed with both of you and Mucky on the recoverage here Andre's saying floaters grab your live vest yeah there was

4:03 A bit of that last week right with D-Day and where we start off this week is try right after D-Day where you know my strategy early on Mucky was that you just don't take the risk why go and put yourself in there get more bracelets you know just wait until the end game and win a couple of challenges maybe one or two in the end and take all the money home but clearly Ann had a plan for that because you couldn't sit back in this game because if you've only got one bracelet you're still in danger yeah exactly it's a key strategy that started with my boy Mike Chapman on day one by putting yourself up against you know some of the strongest competitors it's a key strategy I think it worked out great for Chelsea so yeah it did Joy welcome to the live the player's so nice to name her twice welcome back Joy Jo Joy welcome back and Jonathan saying million dollar island is way more like big brother in a game sense honestly yeah I can see some similarities but again in Big Brother you've got HOH where you can fight to get power in the game like that's the element that's kind of missing for me a little bit but you know I'm also getting used to the game still Mucky because we've never seen this play out we've never seen a full season of million dollar Island before so it's hard to judge early on in the game if people are making the right decision by throwing themselves in when they get power or not Chelsea does get the power here this week and

5:23 She does end up throwing herself in you know I was very surprised by that move the confidence that she had but I'd you know in hindsight it was the right move but no one so far has been able to do it successfully until Chelsea yeah no it's a very strange like I guess what's it called ratio of people who put themselves in and lose the people who put themselves in and win because you'd think if you can put yourself in you'd strategically do it so you're up against like you know quote-unquote weaker players but sometimes people put other competitors up like for example the last episode Jaden I think he went up against Corey who's you know probably one of the best challenge beasts on the season and he was really banking on winning and as I talked about my boy Mike he thought he had a chance against this other really strong dudes and so yeah like what would you do Chris if you had to put yourself up in there would you go for who's got more number of bracelets or would you go for who are the more like weaker players I think you can definitely you see this is gonna sound so funny but you almost don't want to be the person who's like second or third because it seems like that person when it comes to the amount of bracelets they have they're always first in the firing line when someone gets into Power I think Corey this week it

6:43 Showed he had a tremendous social game because even though he's been the second most powerful person in the game Chelsea doesn't put him in because Chelsea's got a friendship with Corey like how strong is that friendship that you're not going to go after the person with the most bracelets so I almost feel like you take on some people with one bracelets that you think you can beat and then sit on 50 or 60k not fully challenging in the early stages of the game but then again Chelsea ends up taking those people in so what do I know she ends up putting people down there with four bracelets five bracelets because she's trying to get some money but she's not going after the big dog Quarry himself which I was impressed by like Corey has been a phenomenal player this season yeah he's been great he's been great I originally I thought that like oh he's probably not going to be that like strategic coming in but he showed like a lot of like strategic ability in the whole Camp versus Camp the dynamic and definitely seeing this like very strong social bonds he really did Unite log together ascent yeah JoJo here says Chelsea is an absolute Legend and his next level at the challenges she needs to go on to the challenge I agree George like that was exactly like I am Chelsea's number one stand after this week I'm such a big supporter of hers and this whole week the funny like normally I watch the show and I had this Epiphany when I was doing my top

8:03 Five Tags I'm always Team Villain like in any show that I watch I always like the bad boy or the bad girl the one that you know gets the viewers angry but I'm finding it hard to shout for Brett this week and in this season because you know Brett's just sitting on the sideline saying ah this person's mucking up the game oh this person's doing terrible decisions while there's no risk to him and he's having a go at Chelsea early on he's you know and I think why I like Chelsea so much is because he's had she's had brick with egg on his face this whole week yeah she really has like twice as well like I was really watching the episodes earlier and he's like honestly mate I would kind of prefer Chelsea drops you know she kind of deserves it and then she tops it out and then just the look of Brit's face as well it's like oh I have to eat my words up now but yeah I think she's like my favorite part my favorite part was break like when the whole team celebrates Chelsea's winning this first episode breaks you see to see him sitting in the back not celebrating you just like fakes it and goes in and I'm like bro it's so sour right now that was amazing oh that's so good yeah I did feel you know I did feel for jaunty a little bit you know he just came off a win and he was quite likable in the previous week and then he had to go straight

9:24 Back in but you know he kind of sulked a little bit about it where Chelsea had the opposite approach when she was chosen to go back in there back to back she was like amping and rearing to go yeah no I could saw about like mentality thing right yeah you can look at something and kind of treat her but then that sort of negativity is going to affect how you're gonna perform whereas if you had that sort of positive like motivational energy about you then you're definitely going to give it your 110 best shot yeah I feel like it's definitely more Mind of a matter of some of these yeah challenges joy coming up here for her fellow player Britt's a great guy he's just got a motor mouth on him and listen I'm definitely don't dislike break the guy I think he's probably a really good bloke outside of the game I think it's just he's doing a good job at being that annoying armchair critic sitting on the sideline like he's been in there twice I know he deserves to have the bracelets that he has but me getting annoyed with him isn't because of him the person outside of the game it just means he's doing a bloody like the show would not be the same without bread like if Brett wasn't there I think it would be a yawn Fest right Mucky oh yeah probably he's brought so much entertainment right from day one like in that first challenge he was meant to be like the easy win

10:44 But he's the one who like demolished everyone you know from such a come from behind victory yeah it was fantastic and then he gets put in a challenge where you have to like say who you're adding is your weight onto and nobody added any weight to Brett so like he's definitely improved okay [Laughter] I also Jonathan you're saying and then you don't lose as much when someone wins survival two yeah I think that's in regards to the format of the game and then also Georgia here saying Corey won Mr Congeniality on the whole island and I can I listen I can just see it he looks like a great guy and I do hope because obviously the way that he goes out this week is such a sad way to see him go without fighting in a survival challenge who knows if he would have been able to win and compete with Lisa who was phenomenal in that survival challenge but you know you don't want to see a competitor go out in the way that he did injuring himself at my time you know injuring his ACL which has been a recurring injury for him I just hope that we do see Corey back on our TV screens at some point be it million dollar island or you know Australian reality TV I think is really starting to get just

12:04 Better and better because I even started watching Rush this week as well and that looks like another great show that David could not is the host of but Australian TV's got so much reality now you could go the challenge you could go rush you could go Amazing Race Survivor Corey will fit into something I'm sure even big brother I could see him do really well oh yeah absolutely you know Heroes versus Villains million dollar Island Corey's definitely guaranteed on as a villain that he's a great hero yeah Andre Lee recruiting Dreadful Survivor yeah I mean can you imagine break in Survivor he's kind of giving me like he's kind of giving me like that George Vibes in some ways like I'm not saying he would be that big of a strategic player as George but he's got that presence about him that can carry a show that can carry a season he's good at confessionals he's good at invoking a certain emotion or feeling out of the audience which I think is important when you cast for reality TV Jonathan's saying seven midi backs in three weeks I've not watched alone yet that's a survival show as well right I believe so yeah I haven't watched that one unless it's unless it's the one that was on Netflix because I watched one that was on Netflix not that long ago that was pretty decent as well but let's

13:24 Talk a little bit about it because you know this week it's been an ongoing storyline for the season and I kind of spoke about this in the top five takes who would have thought when we started watching million dollar Island the most controversial thing about the show would be the food situation and who's got food who doesn't have food I found myself getting and again I've got to remind myself like I've watched reality TV for a very long time 20 plus years now I'm all into the strategy I'm all into the competitive side of the show so I'm looking at it from that lens and maybe you know I'm missing some things here but I was team Jack this whole week not team Kylie I felt like you know her calling him out as a bully her going like really hard on him trying to play that emotional game like we said this earlier on Vine's got nothing but food and they're trying to get to the end of this game as well that is the only leverage they've got but there was a big battle between the two camps here oh yeah absolutely so humongous battle and even went into last week as well and I think it's going to keep on continuing for the rest of the weeks as well but it is such an interesting like original storyline because I don't think we've had like a drama like this even on Survivor before as well because it's just can you do that voice over guide from Australian

14:44 Million dollar Island where they're like would you do this to another human being and they show and they show Jordan going out there trying to get food and jackets like Stone Cold no I was like this is a game show what do you mean would you do this to another human being yeah exactly but I think that it's such like a real thing you know this food stuff it's not like you know you betrayed this person but oh it's a game it's like I guess it is a true survivor elements and from what you know players have said as well like get this old starvation and like the whole island life itself was already like extremely like quite difficult so difficult time no food must be really tough but yeah you guys are a bunch of bullies maybe we just raised differently though listen I think and I do I don't want to just like brush over it because we weren't out there we weren't starving for food but going out there like even if I was starving like I would know that this is not a human being denying another human being of food in real life this is a game and a part of the game is that you can quit so if the food situation gets too hard like if they couldn't quit if it was you had to be eliminated to

16:05 Get to leave the game or Medevac maybe I would have felt a little bit like it would still struggle because it's the competitive side to it that makes me really struggle but I would understand it a little bit more that there is no Escape but there is an escape if it's getting too hard you know you can quit this game and you can move out of it so the same thing with this next on where Jordan's gone there and asking for food because he's you know started to black out and struggling I feel for him as a human being like listen it can't be easy to be out there and not have food on a lighter note yeah what would be the thing that you would what's the most if you were out there and you couldn't have it on a daily basis chocolate milk brother like chocolate exactly bro you knew the answer to that man but I love chocolate milk you know it's not an addiction it's love yeah all right it's a very big difference so yeah it's every chocolate milk for me how about you see I don't know how I would do without coffee like I don't know like because I'm a three four cups a day kind of guy like so for me that's my biggest thing but I do think that it would probably be some sort of protein like I love my meat you know like it would have to be like a good old steak or you know just food because every time I watch One of These reality TV shows where they do the reward challenges on other shows and they

17:25 Have like ice cream or cookies I'm like why like this is no nutritional value to it like I don't crave sugar I would crate crave actual meat while I'm out there but yeah I do think that it would be hard let's have a look here Joy is saying and Georgia obviously knowing what the situation was out there saying Kylie apologized after for using the word bully she said it was wrong choice of words just didn't see it an hour before that she had nearly passed out she was a leader of a camp in our cook and listen that's the one thing when I put myself on in Kylie's shoes again I do think that Jack is right I'm not backtracking on the fact that this is a competitive reality TV show but you know if I had to put myself in Carly's shoes she is a mother figure she's used to caring for people she's nurturing so I feel like she took that responsibility on her of not being able to provide food to the camp and that put the pressure on her to feel a certain kind of way so I can understand that I can understand that when you're out there when you're struggling for food and when the emotions are running High you may say things or things may come out in a way that you don't want it to come out I don't think Kylie is a bad person either the way I look at reality TV is that these people are people that are put under severe pressure that is hard for us as viewers sometimes to understand and sometimes viewers can pick sides a little bit too easily on this thing and just write the other person off Mucky when

18:45 It comes to it yeah definitely I mean almost like every like reality show forms your own like high school like group clerks if you know what I mean and you go to that for those groups you know it's kind of like you're only alliances almost so if someone in your loans like hates something you all hide something and especially for law Camp as well all of them are like you know starving you know Jordan's blacking out everyone must be so fatigued so of course must be very frustrating for them the vine Camp is all this food but not a lot of members so they won't share which is why I have a question if I'm Georgia can maybe answer it Can you steal food yeah I want to know that as well Georgia Can you steal food from the other Camp can you sabotage the camp because those are things that I've thought we would see by now but it could also be because from what I'm seeing it looks like log Camp is the camp that wants to do everything by the book and they have a certain moral standard that they're putting out there that I feel like wouldn't allow for them to do it and I could be wrong maybe you know I'm we can only talk about the people that we've seen in the edited show obviously the Camp's a lot bigger than that maybe there were certain individuals within that camp that haven't had screen time that would do things differently because you know one thing I will give Lock and when it comes to them having to choose Mucky if they were going to let

20:05 Jaden back in Camp after he betrayed them they do take the moral High ground and they allow for them to come back to Camp eat some bugs with them and go to his bed you know which some you know lesser players like myself and you Mucky we may maybe would have kicked them out yeah well I actually think the greatest thing to do would be like Jaden if you want to sleep in our camp you've got to steal the vine camps food and bring it over but no yeah I would have I would have kicked Jayden out yeah he said you could definitely try but it was against our morals that's kind of how I see log camp and I will say this and really saying boring morals status and listen I get it like I mean if I was out there I think I you don't want it like this is why I can never go play reality TV now Mucky because people will know this about me this would be a game to me I would treat it as a game so people would be like Chris would sabotage we need to get rid of him first get him out of the game because I would involve myself to those standards but that's what makes the game interesting though is because every person that is out there do have to decide for themselves where do they draw the line within the game what are they how much are they willing to do in the game and what sometimes becomes boring when it comes to shows like Survivor or big brother or some of these games

21:25 That have been on for a very long time they're choosing more and more game-body people now that have played so many or seen so many reality TV shows that I like you and I they're all willing to backstab and do whatever they can to get to the end therefore there is no will they do it won't they do it the food conversation doesn't come up you know so I think this brings another element of freshness back to the show and it gives me throwback Vibes off when Survivor first started in the first 10 seasons when people still did hold people to a higher moral standard playing the game yeah exactly and you know you bring up that point because that's a complaint I've been sharing with you for quite a while now with American Survivor so everyone is a massive going back to everyone knows XYZ were the quick movers to do it every single photo of the game that sometimes gets a wee bit boring you know I like barely scrape through maths and high school so I can't keep up with the with the numbers sometimes but yeah with Mandela Island it's like it's just such a fresh unique perspective because you do have your more strategic players like your Jacks your Brits you know and your jadens who are willing to take really massive risks but you also have your very honorable Heroes and something that goes right back to Borneo was hatch was like the first you know Survivor villain and he beat out against The Honorable you know Kelly who

22:46 Won all the challenges right and I was like yeah the very big thing that Drew everyone to Survivor so it's great to have heroes and villains and not just robots yeah and then on the very next season you had Tino winning who was a hero you know so and it kind of showed you that there was no specific way to get to the end and win the game but it is fresh and it's something I'm enjoying I do want to read a few more comments here Georgia saying Jack keeps saying that we weren't foraging we had people out there every day and that's good to know joy because that is the perception I had of your camp that you because obviously we're watching a reality TV show and we can only see what they're giving us in the edit and the edit it looked like they weren't going out there and doing some of that and it looked like the vine Camp were with the likes of Jack and Tony going out there looking like they provided for their camper bit let's have a look here at a few more of the comments be before Danica or Danica I should say it's old habits says I'm back home on the computer heal up quickly Kahuna glad everyone everything went well for you today yes I hope you're still in the life and you got that Romance it was a lot of crying it sounds like you know the Vault lucky tell me about it he actually played a

24:06 Million Dollars all right yeah right yeah no he had no screen time but on the island but he had maximum screen time on our podcast so that's you know we're just wondering yes yeah exactly it's more important to be active here with the fans I think but yeah who were they were they in the love romance yeah I mean how you know again they got really tight to the point where Jack almost considered giving up his game for Tony at the end and clearly there was a bit cut out with Tony telling Jack to not do it because the guy and I don't remember who was sitting next to Jack was talking to him and saying hey Tony said it's okay don't do it so we missed some conversation there I was quite surprised that Jack was willing to give up his spot in the game because no matter how close we are Mucky I'm never giving my spot up for you in the game I hope you know that oh ouch bro I thought we're much closer than this man no yeah it was very shocking to see Jack be like so upset with Tony that he was almost quitting like the whole time I was thinking oh gosh Jack please don't please don't we actually know you we don't know Tony I mean I feel I feel bad for saying that for Tony but yeah I was really hoping Jack would stay but it was definitely a great drama moment though something I do love about million dollar island is it's like all different like dramatic

25:26 Drama moments that do hook you in like I was on the edge of my seat going oh my gosh is Jack actually going to quit you know and yeah like I really had no idea but thank you stay or will he go yeah that's the that's the big one how have you felt about the whole you know aspect of the game where after the survival challenge people can go around and ask to be saved in the game how do you as a viewer feel seeing that for me it's a little bit uncomfortable sometimes seeing them go out there almost begging for their spot in the game and then when people quit they just ignore them and give it to their friends any case yeah it's a city a bit hard to watch people like looking big for their lives in the game for a chance a million dollars but I mean it's all part of the game yeah we've seen on Survivor plenty of times like it reminds me of Luke at the end of Champions verse contenders like he knew he was going but he was putting in like he was like begging Pier he was going around debate and you know and just you know pitching his life and it's really hard to watch but it's all part of the game and I should really like that aspect as well I wasn't sure how it was going to work originally but yeah something was like it only works at the start of the game whereas I think the more deeper you get in the game it's not gonna work the one thing I

26:47 Wish they did but I know why they didn't do it because the game would have gone on for way too long especially with a hundred people but I kind of wish that if you had more bracelets in the game you could buy it with it like you could give one or two away for bargaining power because I kind of said that you know for those that don't watch Survivor this might go over your heads but you know Survivor had the fire tokens and this almost seemed like it could replace the fire tokens with having the money on your hand and being able to barter or bargain for certain things with that in the game or choosing to save an ally with one of your two your 20 bracelets that you've got you know what I mean so yeah what would be more important ten thousand dollars or an ally in the game you know so I wish that was a little bit different but I also get that a certain amount of people have to go every week maybe in that case you just would have had none like a student elimination rounds where you couldn't do it's like a purge where you know kind of like what happened with D-Day 10 people will go this week no matter what and you can't save them yeah now at some is there something that Kahuna and I would definitely talked about before because I thought you could always do that so I was always like why isn't Corey saving people why isn't brick saving people it turns out if you give up even just one bracelet you're giving up all your bracelets yeah and I do really like that aspect because in other words yeah like if you just get Corey winning every time he's gonna save everyone so

28:07 Just be a an endless situation of just none of Limbs over and over again and so yeah I do quite like that aspect of that yeah let's read a few more of the live comments coming in here Danica saying this game is so different your camps aren't really safe Corey kept this Camp safe but Brett has no problem throwing his own Camp under the bus to get more braces from his fellow campus that to me like listen we spoke about it earlier Brett I don't halt this against them and someone else also commented earlier that when we criticize characters it's based on what they're doing in the game like I don't I'm not a whole fan of going and you know doing all these things that some fans do by chasing people and after the game is over and in their real life but that has been the big difference between the likes of a Corey and a bread or now a Chelsea and a brick with Chelsea she has kept Corey safe because he's a friend and she's had like she's been willing to be cut Cutthroat but she's also got a moral line of what she will and won't do at this stage in the game and she wants to work with top camp but Brett on the other hand he is not a team game player at all he is playing for Numero Uno now yeah can I say I wouldn't play the game the same as him no I would probably be people would hate me as much as Brett if I was out there because I would probably play exactly like him

29:29 I'm sure you've been the noble hero of Corey Chris you know you've got all those attributes I'm sure you can grow long beautiful blonde hair you know I've seen your biceps you know they're just as big so ah here we go here we go again I say this tongue-in-cheek that I would play like Brett I think I could play like bread but I also think that when you play these games you've got to be adaptable to the people you're around so if you were a joy Joyce camp where everybody has got this moral standard that they're putting out there you can't be the only Jaden in the camp we saw how good that worked out for him like it's not gonna fly so you've got to adapt to the people that you're in the camp Worth right Mucky yeah absolutely and like at a certain point it does get down to an individual game but I guess when there's still like other like I think what Jaden did I think overall it was fine but he did but he did it too soon if that makes sense like you still have what 12 people and top Camp I think I'm not sure about the accurate numbers but I'm pretty sure there's like 12 or 10 people in top camp like at least get some of them out first and then maybe when you've got like you know maybe three people with top four people Vine then you can start trying to make those moves but I think what he did was really good it was just at the wrong time

30:49 Yeah alternator is saying it's quite a pretty cool how they changed the log cab to Carla Camp Cool Change crying laughing emoji yeah it's kind of weird to be honest I Carla's been this big voice and this consistent person that's been edited from the start of the show until now so it makes you wonder does she go all the way somehow and when like why is she getting so much air time compared to other people in that camp and then also there was that I didn't get to talk about it when that week happened but I'd be interested to know your thoughts on that whole conversation between her and Adrian and Adrian being this bad guy going up against her and then all we see is color talking bad about Adrian but we never see Adrian talking bad about Carla and she's like oh he's playing 4D chess by being kind like that was a big thank you yeah now I record that yeah like everyone else watching I was like huh the whole time yeah he's just building a shelter but now but I like every week I try to like read like Power Rankings based on the edit I know that the show is very different to most other Australian shows where they're mostly show the players that matter per episode but

32:10 Carla and Brett are actually my top two contenders to win at the moment originally it was Yasmin but she's gone now but when I've really narrowed it down it's just Britain color I think with the screen time they've got him we always hear their perspectives start and end of the episode so I think maybe the between Carlos Carla's high for me Brett I think that they had no choice because Brett was in power from the start and he's been in power the whole time so how can you not check in with the richest man on the island so that one I can still see go either way I could still see someone taking them out I've got my fingers crossed that our girl Chelsea comes in and does you know do the finishing blow on him and get him out of the game but I can also see Chelsea just but I mean Chelsea is pretty solid let's talk about her performance like she had two completely different challenges that she had to win here in this week she had a word puzzle that she needed to solve so showing she's got the brains obviously being you know a teacher it's granted being a PE teacher but she's showing that she's got that skills and then she's got the physical Side by doing really well in the endurance challenge as well like yeah does Chelsea have a weakness would her weakness be going into a survival challenge because that's the only thing she's not been tested at it may be you know everyone's got their strengths and their weaknesses but so far Chelsea has been except for me right yeah

33:30 Yeah except for yeah you're in everything no weaknesses but yeah I think my weakness has been oh my God I'm yeah I think yeah I think Chelsea's got this because she seems to be the Jack of all trades you know she's got the brain she's got the brawn but I do have a complaint though about the word puzzle can I dive into that real quick go for it so basically it's an ant was like okay how many like words came back out of that and they each had to give a number it's like I think I can get nine oh I can get Tim I can get living Tony should have just one-upped it like ah I think I could do 12 because like you know essentially got 11 she then bid out Tony but what if Tony just kept on being like no I reckon I could get 13.

34:29 Oh Chelsea like yeah you do it you try to get 13. because I mean I don't know maybe what they've gotten Tony to try to do it himself I'm not sure but I feel like just one up again yeah well the problem is as soon as the other person says I can't do more than you then the person who's got the highest number they have to go out there and prove it right so yeah if Tony said I could do 13 and Chelsea's like no I can't then Tony's got to do it that was the rule in the game right so I did like it because there was a element of bluffing we've seen this before in another reality TV show called The Challenge where they normally do it with weight or they've done it in the past with weight before where two people would be down there and they would have all these plates that they would put on something and say I could do five plates I could live five and then the other person might say oh I'll do eight and then whoever has the highest amount automatically has to prove it what I liked about this one that's better than the challenges is that they had the ability to up from the other person so for instance if the one says six and the other one says eight they can say well actually I'll take you on I'll do nine you know so they couldn't up the ante by continuing up to a certain point where they just didn't feel comfortable but what really impressed me with Chelsea now this is the Chelsea number one stand podcast this week because what really impressed me about her was how she floundered

35:49 In the middle of this thing she had sex by a minute and then by 30 seconds left she still had about four to go and she found a way to get herself composed again and get those words on there even though she was still like spelling certain words that weren't words like rad for instance and saying that's not a word you know I really was impressed by her ability to bounce back and keep a cool head and still get the win there because when she stalled I could have seen myself that would have been the place where I would have probably freaked out and not have been able to get myself back to doing it so really impressed by that really impressed by Tony as well this week with the word puzzle doing extremely well and then they had a very interesting survival challenge which we haven't spoken about yet which is to build a raft and then go out and collect crabs I'm a big fan of the survival challenges I think I like the survival challenges almost more than the actual challenges in the show because it proves to me that these people deserve to be out there they can live on the land yeah and I think they should bring something like this into Survivor bring a survival element back into the game where old school survival players like an Aussie can do well when he goes out and plays in the next All-Stars yeah exactly yeah now you absolutely right this survival time just for me a more interesting than the actual challenges because as an

37:09 Audience member you also learn something as well like okay if you were you know going up fishing for like crabs or anything what would be a good rough type to use and we saw a completely different ones you know we saw a large one that Tony had used but we also saw if you just Chuck a couple sticks together wrapped up a sub road you can use it like a surfboard and that also worked too and also like you know like as I mentioned the fire making challenge there's also like a shelter building one yeah like as an audience member you're learning like ways you could survive out on the out in the island as well it's very interesting yeah let me catch up on a few more of the live comments here because we have fallen behind by quite a bit of apologies we probably won't be able to read every single person's comments every single time but I'm going to do my best to catch up Dolores welcome to the live saying Chris I cannot see you in such a villain role not saying you would not be strategic and ruthless but you would do it with style yeah I mean listen I don't I say a lot of things with tongue-in-cheek I don't know how I would react when I'm out there but I do think that I would adapt to the situation so if the situation requires for me to be a villain I could play that role if the situation requires for me to be a hero I could play that role as well I think you know when you go out there and play these games a lot of people have like this perceived thoughts in

38:29 There or they've got this preconceived ideas of what they want to do when they get out there and that is when you get caught out when you're trying to play a character that doesn't fit into the tribe and you know knowing what volcanada is saying here that becomes even more relevant because he says no Andrea you cannot change tribes you're locked in once you are there which I think they should look at changing that because that to me doesn't allow a certain fluency well fluent sighted again why if they're in the beginning they could choose their own camps choose where they wanted to set up camp they can't change camps later on it makes no sense to me Mucky yeah no definitely because I mean it does an interesting element because like at the start of the game everyone chooses their own Camp I think like that's why you had such like random mixed numbers like you know top with like you know 12 and log with like 24 or something like that almost a whole entire strange Survivor cast you know but so I didn't think it adds a lot of interesting elements it's like based on First Impressions that say Camp your stuck worth but yeah because I guess if you're allowed to keep changing characters like okay well one whole friendship group is one camp and then you don't have any clashes or anything kind of like what Jade well I found it I found it interesting how Corey said that Chelsea was his best friend

39:49 Out there and Chelsea's best friend was Corey but they weren't in the same can for instance that was quite ironic you know and obviously there's other friendships that's probably developed in the same way I do want to read through more of these live questions or you know I guess conversations that's going on here Joy is saying it was a real shock when Jaden did that because we were such a family and he shook on it with Corey it felt at the time like such a backstabbing move but we understand why it did that after we got calm obviously emotions was high we could see that with him all I can say is it's always in the eyes you know Jayden's got Shifty eyes Mucky I wouldn't have trusted him yeah he looked like he wanted to backstab someone it was just itching like oh I can't wait to get some power so then I can brush it down to someone George is color is a Powerhouse and I would follow her into the end of the Earth she's the reason we all survived clearly a natural leader one of the reasons they're giving her a lot of air time and also someone who actually what has some survival skills you know when you're out there you want someone that can teach you how to forage and do things to keep yourself sustained while you're out there Jonathan's saying it's similar finale style to the challenge I think the final three player for the share of the million on their wrist wow that would be interesting because I've wondered if it's going to be three winners at the end when they say only three Will Survive till the end so it's not clear yet if there's going to be one winner or three winners monkey yeah no that'd be quite interesting because

41:10 We don't know how the show works you know like this is a brand new A Whole New World I guess I can say for everyone watching this show because what other house is going to end like what the final challenges would look like is it just gonna be one big survival challenge Maybe yeah Danica is saying I feel bad for some of the contestants who have had absolutely no airtime an entire Camp disappears and all those with one bracelet are gone just like that no story no airtime I think that when you've got a hundred people playing the game sadly that is gonna happen I mean we find it hard enough to get to know everybody when there are 24 players or 22 players playing survivors so this was always going to happen it doesn't take away from I'm sure the feeling of the contestant who went out there and told all their family and friends I'm going to be on the show you're going to see me it's going to be so great and then none of this story is being told which is obviously sad but I kind of understand it more with this show with 100 people than sometimes when we get a 16 or 18 person Survivor season you feel a little bit more sad for them because like there should have been at least on the day that you got booted you should get some airtime you know and some people don't even get that George I say Chelsea has no weaknesses and then volcanada I don't know if you're talking about Chelsea or Carla there I'm not too sure you're gonna have to clarify why

42:30 Georgia Saint denica I'm a proud consist but you'll never know I'm on the show and one thousand percent fine with it I wasn't a part of the drama but I know I made an impact on the island and just proud to be OG and obviously you've got your own like memories and experiences like of having been out there that you could take with you because we often hear Mucky about when we watch Survivor they talk about the game we didn't see the game that they played while they were out there and that's something that people you can't no one can take that away from you know that you've been out exactly it's really is just such a life-changing experience as well like there's no real test other than Staffing yourself on an island and having to do all these different kind of challenges you know not just the challenges but like the emotional challenges you know being away from your comfort your family your friends you know your whanau just yeah away from everything you know and so it's definitely something no one can ever take away from you whether the audience is or not but yeah I'm sure it'll be like really great memories yeah alternator just clearing the air they're saying no he doesn't like Carla that much but Chelsea he does love because Chelsea looks like just a bundle of energy and joy and yeah I'm very interested to see how things are going to turn out with her for the rest of the game Salim says I watched the Arabic version that ended 10 days ago it wasn't that good actually

43:51 Oh okay well Salim welcome to the show and that's very interesting that you think that so are you enjoying the Australian version is that something that you feel like is playing better on TV compared to the Arabic version because I do know that they were thinking about NBC and America were thinking about having a US version of malindola Island it was supposed to also release this year but it got canceled before it even aired so I don't know why if the concept itself somebody might have said we're not willing to I'm sure they're regretting it now though Mucky with the writers strike over in America they would have loved to have some more reality TV to put on NBC when they don't have the regular shows showing anymore because that's what CBS and Paramount and all those places are doing right now MTV they're stocking up on reality TV because they know that we'll fill in for the spots when the writer strikes going on yeah exactly you know it's a real shoot in the league you know I'm missing out on a million dollar Island but I'd love to know what maybe the ratings are at the moment in Australia because I know that for the premiere it started off really well and I know they've dropped down a bit so I've been keeping it I think it because I always find numbers very interesting to see if a show is going to be successful or not so the first week it started off with about 400 440 000 people watching it which was

45:11 Really high for a new show and it has fallen to the mid 200 thousands the last time I checked and yep alternator is confirming that ratings are currently between 250 to 270k which is still slightly higher than traitors Australia because Traders Australia had about 200 220 and we thought that Traders Australia was going to get canceled but then it got renewed for another season so it's two different channels from memory that are showing this so I don't know if ratings if there's a different criteria for what ratings is acceptable or not but I'm hoping that million dollar Island does get a second season because I'm really interested to see how people will form camps next time knowing that having more people in the camp will mean there's more elves to feed in the beginning and you know there's certain things you could learn from watching this now that players can bring if they've watched the first season that will I think evolve the strategy of the game so I'm hoping that the show gets at least two or three seasons plus we haven't spoken about him at all I'm a big ant supporter I've always loved and from his SAS days those two days win so I've watched that from the UK version to the Australian version so I'm really happy for him getting his own show and I think he's doing a really good job well I do have a problem and you know bloody Kahuna made me aware of this you know I had no idea about it Kahuna pointed out to me but ever since he pointed out to me I can't miss her but every time

46:31 He says a word with ah I think it is yeah no cue but it may sound like a like a w or like an r or something I don't know and it drives me bunkers like every time he says quick it's like Wick pointed out to me like every time ah it tries to Bonkers it's like waikahuna why jokes but yeah he's a really good host I'm really enjoying him on the season yeah she's like voiceovers of everything I think he's good and also I like the fact that you know when it comes to a show such as melindale Island where it is about surviving out in the elements this is a person who actually knows what he's talking about it's not like a host that comes from you know being an actor or something like that it's actually someone who has lived and walked the walk so when they had the survival challenge with them having to bolt the camps this week and he had to go there and judge them it's funny how he picked up on something I picked up immediately as well when Lisa bought her one with a very steep incline immediately I was thinking well that's not going to be good when shelter or sun shelter but he picked that up very quickly but it was interesting to see him go out there and sort of test it and everything because you know he would have had to put his own shelters up in the past when he's been out on active duty and things like that so I just respect the fact that he's got that but

47:51 He's also got the TV personality to go with it as well and again his way that he is sort of handling the contestants again what I like about the Australian hosts and this is not just and alone but a lot of reality TV in Australia is that the host to me always seemed like they're a part of the crew they don't seem themselves is above the crew and he again has that kind of bottom it'd be interesting to know what those people who have been out there think of and as a host that are in the live and how he was sort of perceived out on the island but he seems like a likable guy yeah it seems like an absolutely top like but he did say one comment which did make me laugh a lot it was when like after you know Jack was being called a bully and like a bit of like a bad person and whatnot he said yeah well it appears that food continues to be an emotional issue this is the you don't understand like I find it quite funny that he has to stand there and ask people to quit the show and then when they put there he's got to be supportive because you know in his insight and deep inside of him when you've watched SAS he does not want people to quit like he's like you keep going if your leg falls off you keep going so you know that's something that for him would be very difficult and he would have to fight that in

49:11 A turmoil within himself to say no you know this is okay you can quit this is a part of the game and the emotional thing I fully get it Georgia here says and a sensational host he is supportive and actually really funny I can see that I've seen a little bit of their personality already Salim saying I'm gonna tell you why I hated watching the Arabic one the Challenger sucker always throwing balls or stupid trivia challenges boring to watch and 100 person too much yeah I get it the challenges that make or break I think in this so far I've liked the challenges of million dollar either because they've been familiar to some of the things we've seen in survival but it's always been like a Twist to it even this second challenge that we haven't spoken about where they have to go out and hug this pole there was an order in which they got flipped over and again Corey's social game standing out here because he's the last person to get flipped over when he's a legitimate threat to win the show or win this specific challenge but again it's the it's the twist in this and Jaden was never in it like even when he was talking to the confessionals like oh I'm gonna take this one home I'm like your core's not engaged you're not hugging close to the ball you've got bad posture being on it I knew he was out immediately and Chelsea was Rock Solid like I reckon she could have been up there for another 30 minutes yeah no absolutely like when I saw that how far his body away was from the poles like oh my

50:32 Your dad but yeah not like hats off to you know both Corey and Chelsea for lasting in that challenge for quite a while it was really nobody I didn't know who was going to win like normally the sun these challenges you're like oh okay yeah I open Corey's film on this one or I think Chinese Pro got this one in the bag but this one I really had no idea six out of ten I would be better love you Kona so he's saying Kahuna you should go out there and host the next season Construction yeah I can kind of should yeah I would watch that you know whatever show coconut hosts I would watch it Corey welcome to the live we've you know your ears must have been burning because we've spoken a lot about you already up until this point firstly just want to say great run very impressed with you this season I think that you can tell a lot by how other people perceived you by the fact that you weren't targeted early on Chelsea didn't throw you down when she had power you being flipped over last you know clearly you come across as a great bloke and you know it sucked to see you go out in the way that you went out in this game I never want to see anybody get midi back but especially someone like yourself that was a big part of making the show great so far it was gutting to see it and I hope you get another shot to either go back to the island or

51:52 To go do something else because there's so many great reality TV shows now on the Australian networks that I'm sure they'll be reaching out to you in the in the near future so stay close to your phone it's my advice to you hey Mucky yeah exactly you know right from the preseason Retriever and that definitely shows throughout the whole show you know Korea is just lovable full of energy really sad to see you go Corey but hopefully we see you back on our screens soon and hope that knee is like it's gotten a lot better yeah of course they're all good mate I've had my fan for my fair knee injuries and I am good to go that's good that's good there's a lot of good shows going on at the moment I would love to see you back on and get another crack at it I hate medivax and we spoke about this the show probably has the record for medevax at this stage in the game Kahuna calls him the golden retriever yeah exactly yeah and then I'm saying again the Australian version is way better it's fresh to watch especially if it was filmed in an island the Arabic one was in the Sahara Desert wow that would have been different yeah like how do you forage for food in the Sahara Desert like that would not be easy at all no that wouldn't yeah that's the one thing that's the

53:12 One thing I think they could add into a show such as this is maybe like a reward challenge where the camps could compete against each other for some sort of food I know that sometimes within the survival challenge the person gets to be like Jordan was the last episode or yeah when he won he got to take the crabs back to log Camp right like so you get to be a bit of a hero and bring some food back but that's maybe something if we were to tweak it like I'd love to talk to you and Kahuna maybe when the season is done about how do we like vision board a few different outcomes or scenarios that could improve the game you know like what do we think we could adjust or remain on the game to make it a little bit more entertaining and but then again we wouldn't have the food drama we've got right now and I'm actually quite in the beginning I didn't enjoy it but now I'm enjoying it because Jack's being stubborn as hell yeah actually like I said this on our last podcast as well but the one moment I loved so much is when Jack like you know unconfessional is fine to be villainous and say oh let them starve let them starve and when Jack was telling them to their faces now we're gonna let you starve yeah we want you to starve and quit and then who was it did Corey win for D-Day like my power pick thing and just look on Jack's face when someone from Vlog can't won it I was like

54:32 Oh yeah bro you should just shut up hey yeah he's definitely it's definitely going to be a bit of a Target moving forward Because by the end of this week we do see that you know one of the two players who were considering leaving the game Tess or at least the edit made us think that she was considering leaving because she was saying about how it's too hard for her to hang in there and all those things and then Jonathan is the one who actually quits which was sad to see someone that's had power twice in the game leaving the way that he did I'm sure that the lack of food would have played into his thought you know thoughts when he had to make that decision but you know Tess does end up winning the power going into next week so that's not good for Jack at all especially if he is still playing that hard line about not sharing the food which again I understand where he's coming from I do think Tess is going to take a shot at him I think so too I think so too I think at this point you could probably put up everyone in Vine camp just knock them all out I think because it's something I'm like six people left yeah they've got I think they've got six people left and Vine so you could potentially knock the whole Vine camp out which yeah then the

55:52 Food's up for grabs right I guess it'll be the similar case to it'll be a similar case to Tess when her Camp got decimated where she was there on her own and people just came and helped themselves to the food while she was yeah exactly and then she had to go choose the camp so whoever's the one remaining player of Vine if there is one potentially would be able to choose which Camp they would want to go to yeah absolutely so do you think that you know Tess obviously being in law camp and that's the camp with the higher moral standards that's Susan top you're right sorry it's hard to keep on top of it being a top Camp who knows she might she might actually throw a monkey wrench in the plan and take on some of the bigger players like I'd be shocked if Brett doesn't go in like yeah you want to take him on like even though he's won twice the only reason he won the second one is because strategically players were giving it to him they were just making so many mistakes and that second challenge if you wanted to Target him they did everything possibly wrong to do that yeah exactly I got the Luck of the Irish it does it does yeah but I can say away with makes it through though because I think you know he's still got quite a few people in log you've got still quite a few people in Vine because I think tests may have learned from Jaden's

57:13 Mistakes but he made that move against his own camp and then he was immediately turned on right so I think Tess would have seen that and being like you know what I'm not gonna put Britain just yeah but let me try and knock out as many Vineland log for right now so that's why I think it's going to happen for next week yeah dedicures asking a question here which I don't remember I don't know if you remember this Mucky but maybe one of the players would be able to answer that question saying was Jack one of the ones that invaded Tessa's camp and took her Camp's food I don't I don't remember exactly who went and there was a lot of people yeah exactly now I definitely see a scenario different it was and yeah I'll have to rewatch it but something as well Chris and I would love to know if you picked up on this but Jack is wearing the exact same outfit George was wearing in Brands vs Braun oh is he on the original brain stripe yeah it's almost like identical hat identical like white shirt white top white in the first few episodes of Brands vs brawn it's like almost exactly the same I mean I don't know George is

58:33 A very honorable man and I can see him like about to quit for someone else because that's just the joke let's have a look at a few more of the comments coming in Baltimore saying the moral standards with the food is the biggest you are fighting for a million dollars and you set the president you aren't sharing don't cry because now you're hungry and used all your food hey you know you said it I can't disagree with that comment I can't again like I said I mean it's easy sitting on the sidelines and being such a big fan of competitive reality TV shows being you know keyword being competitive this is the strategy if people like it or not you can starve the other camp out and like Jordan going over asking for food if he does quit because Jack doesn't give him that food that's one spot closer to the end for someone like Jack you know so it makes sense to me and they've got no they've got absolutely no other power in the game I saw a post that showed who had the highest percentage chances of actually getting a wheel spin and Vine's got like six percent or something chance off the wheel falling on them log now lost with Corey over 20 so they're somewhere in the mid-20s and then by far top Camp's got all the power when it comes to the spins right now because they've got both Chelsea and Brett so that's another reason

59:53 Why at some point you want to take either Chelsea or Brett out because you need to shift that power over to the other side like if you're Vine and you buy yeah the grace of God get that relaxed land on you've got to take a shot at the big dogs now yeah absolutely I mean you've got nothing to lose you know you're low on numbers so you're not it's gonna be very rare to get a wheel spoon so if you get it I can just Chuck in everyone with the highest number of bracelets 100 let's try that yeah I just want to see if there's anybody we haven't spoken about or any other things I just wanted to briefly touch on Lisa as well she impressed me this week because you know Jaden looked at her as a weakling when I don't know if he actually knew who she was or what she's achieved in life before getting like five world records at Salem championships stuff like that's not the sign of a weak competitor like that takes either a certain level of mental fortitude or stamina or you know winners win and losers lose like if she's one and she's achieved that in life like I don't think he knew who she was I would be surprised if he knew that about her when he took her in there and I was impressed by her fighting Spirit especially when she did end up winning the survival challenge yeah not really happy for Lisa and I could definitely you know touch on the sailing

1:01:13 Skills because once upon a time Chris I did sailing back when I was you know check it with a kid but I just had one problem since I'm you know quite tall the bloody like bar on the master keep hitting me so every time you go like turn or like make up those you keep hitting me in the head and I quit because I just had enough so yeah great job but yeah great job on this although Corey with the big question here Chris here's a question you know your staff would you ever go on a reality TV show I would yeah that's the short answer I'm a massive Survivor Fan Day One Survivor fan so that would be the most likely show I would want to end up on and I am moving to Australia I actually live in Auckland New Zealand I'm currently traveling in South Africa where I'm from originally but I am moving to Melbourne in the coming months so who knows like there's so much good reality TV now on Australian TV that there's plenty of shows I could apply for like Survivor would be my first choice then Amazing Race probably and I quite like the idea of Rush as well which I just watched the first two episodes It looks interesting I don't personally know if I would want to play a million dollar Island because I feel like there's too much things that are out of your hands when it comes to power and when you can choose to put people down there like the one opportunity you get off

1:02:33 For power is a very risky opportunity when you potentially could go home because you've got to put yourself into a channel Challenge and then potentially go home so I don't know I wouldn't say no to it but I think that yeah probably in that order I'd say Survivor Amazing Race would probably be the two that I would want to play the most I don't know how I would do a big brother Mucky because I find it very hard to be indoors yeah bring them does all the day would suck but how can you do quite well is survive on The Amazing Race hey don't put a Target on my back no don't do that bro the entire time doing Heroes vs villains you're like oh Mucky if you're out there you would be a social teacher you know this is my two to three under the bus geez all right we'll have to after the Live's done we'll just edit that part out I never answered that question the magic of editing goodness is but relationships are the most important part of the game be a dick okay but come on will come back to you and that's the case with a lot of reality TV shows but it's really coming into play now with the end game here for millindola Island underneath I would have attempted to burn down one of the camps by now due to frustration of moral standards who they entrusted not to for forage for seaweed due to the health risk only problem you have this there's so many people out there Andre you'd have to pick your time because I feel like with 100

1:03:54 People someone's always bound to be in the camp like if you burn it down you might burn someone down inside of the camp as well so you've got to be careful of that stuff Jonathan's saying top eight right now by money and alphabetically not including immune is Chelsea Brett Carla Jordan and Jordan is hanging on by a threat like he could be out this week I would be surprised to see him quit Georgie John alpha that's a name I forgotten like he kind of okay he was prominent in the beginning of the game and then just left and then Alison Kylie so yeah so there's a few people I didn't know Kylie was in it as well I don't know how many colors three all right I think so yeah I think so I could be wrong thanks Corey I appreciate that I really appreciate that what about the challenge fresh me three I feel like Danica or Danny what you have to do is you first have to be on a different reality TV show because the challenge now only sort of recruits people from other reality TV shows but I'd love to do the challenge as well because I love obstacle course races and stuff like that so that kind of sort of fits into the stuff that I love doing in any case and now having watched quite a lot of the challenge obviously I'm a big fan of it as well so I'd love to be on the challenge it's just the reason I didn't mention it because I think the likelihood of them doing a fresh meets three where they

1:05:14 Just get people that are like random everyday Australians or every day get your mind out of the gutter but yeah it's I think that the challenge would be another one I'd love to do as well all right what have we not spoken about I feel like we've gone through most of the big points is there anything you wanted to bring up from this week that you wanted to discuss what do you think about Jaden's move here I'm trying to go against lockham we sit there Chelsea did a good thing by doing that and getting all the power right so she ended up with power in the game which now allowed for her to become the richest person in the game so if Jayden won I think we all would have said here what a great game move and he took his feelings out of the game he backstabbed his own Camp which is not great but his Camp still allowed for him to come back and be there in any case so they still lived up to their moral standard of not kicking him out or allowing for him to sleep in the camp so you would have been like great move the problem with Jaden is that he overestimated his own ability to do well in the challenge and yeah granted you don't get a very you don't get much of a clue from Anthony you just said you have to hang on for dear life or

1:06:34 Something was the clue so in my mind if I got that clue I would have thought it would be something with grip strength or something with endurance immediately so either Jaden didn't know himself well enough I feel like he did it because his form was so bad from the start that you just knew wasn't going to win it so you have to say just based on the clue alone he took too big of a gamble but it also comes down to the fact that I think there's a certain amount of frustration from the players because they're just sitting on their hands for so long and they don't know when the will is going to land on them again so they only have this one shot at sort of taking some bracelets so you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't so I know that's kind of like a no answer I think I lean towards Jed and having made a bad mistake based on not knowing his own capabilities at this point but I understand why he made the move how about you yeah I think that's a good move I think was just that the wrong time you know because no matter what like campus like mostly going to be in power so he's going to be safe for a while longer I just think that yeah you should have tried to go for a top camper but more and then start making those moves against like when it was more smaller numbers because then that way if he does lose but it went to survival he can is it justify up I've been like oh well I had to put some people up and log whereas like in this case like

1:07:54 If it didn't win survival and then someone from long had one then he was going to be going straight back out yeah the last thing I wanted to talk about is this exactly this Jonathan only one week left I don't know if it's he said that we're going into finale week but I don't know if next week is officially the last week or if it's going to be split over two weeks because they do two episodes per week so it could potentially be one week left in game but two weeks left of us watching the show but I had mentioned that the game is going to change and that Chelsea is safe for now so I do have a feeling as we get into the end game here the richest person in the game is no longer going to be safe and they're going to be up for grabs quite consistently within the next round or two so I'm excited to see what they're going to do to the format and how they're going to ramp it up because we still have I think about 20 players left in the game we're 21 days into the game right now so they're going to end up with this game not being that much longer than current Survivor us you know your Survivor years is about 26 days so they might end up with about 28 days in this game so yeah a lot of sort of question marks out there on how this game is going to in but I'm all here for it I'm glad we picked up the show it's the first time we've done a show outside of our normal Staples shows and it's been enjoyable to cover it so far I've really enjoyed

1:09:15 Talking to you about it here today as well is there anything you wanted to add from your own anything that you feel like we should have mentioned I can't think of anything on the top of my head no but yeah I'm really loving the shirt I'm really enjoying it like getting to know the cast through our podcasts as well you know there's some of the players like the Vault for example who didn't get any screen time but we clearly got to see his personality through our podcast I've definitely loved that aspect as well and yeah it's been a really great fun and new show Corey here does have a great observation saying took his shot that's good but our camp strategy was to wipe out the other Camp then play the individual game use our bracelets bracelet power and that does make sense from a camp perspective because they played a team game taking a shot at Corey and then putting other people like it's one thing if you said we're just going to take I'm gonna take all of the highest earners within my camp and I'm gonna try and get as much money as I can from our camp at least that way you control where the bracelets would be the bracelets would remain within log camp but he didn't do that he went for strong players from opposing camps which weakened his tribe so I get from a team perspective you know that thinking about it now I not only did you know overestimate his own abilities but he definitely screwed his Camp

1:10:35 You know so I kind of get that because how many times does he have to win at the end like he only has to win one or two once or twice to get all the bracelets in any case so just hang on that Big Move and maybe yeah think about it from a camp perspective that's a really good point there Corey second there Georgia sexy beats Georgie I must might have missed something here somewhere I would like to congratulate Jaden on wiping out a third of the log yep yeah great strategy could we praise the gods she came to log Danica saying that is how I would want to play it like a family protect your own until the end then individual competition from there yeah it's weird because in Survivor that's kind of how it works right you're forced to play with your camps until you get to a merge and then it's everyone for themselves but Jen was thinking individual and similar to how Brett's thinking individual like I feel like Brett would have made a similar move even if he wasn't in power to Jaden because he's very single-mindedly individually focused right now in the game yeah thank you Jaden on behalf of Rock camp we would have recruited you coverage of million dollar Island thank you so much for everybody that has tuned in and taken part of the conversation you've been Lively crowd

1:11:55 Here tonight it's been really good to be back on alive for the first time this season I'm sure Mucky at some point I'll be jumping back on to talk to yourself and Kona about the season as we wrap it up here and any final thoughts there from your end yes I just want to say rip shirtless John T where was your shirt at this moment this episode John T where was it at no but yeah thanks so much for coming on Chris always love doing live podcasts with you so yeah 100 yeah please consider subscribing if you've never done so before and this is your first time on the channel we are considering adding more and more shows to the channel I'm very excited I've spoken to a few more people that want to join the nullify Tech channel so there might be some announcements for that in the coming weeks as we continue to add more shows at this stage Traders Australia season two we're definitely covering that on the channel when that comes around so we're adding another new show I'm 50 on if I do some coverage on Rush as well Jonathan is saying rush next week I'm considering it Jonathan I'm considering it I've really I've only watched the first episode but I really enjoyed it so we want to continue to add the more people who subscribe the more people who like and comment on that we can make this one of the bigger reality TV networks
