0:00 Foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] hello everyone welcome to the nullify Tech Channel where we've got the TNT tags for you on Australian Survivor Heroes versus Villains that's right it's bonus content time everybody I thought about it this week you know a lot of people have been asking me to do a power ranking to give my thoughts in regards to the tier ranking I've been getting comments on some of those all the videos that I did so I thought why not do a live why not get some people in on
1:20 It and get your opinions and takes as well now obviously doing this live is quite new for me because normally I have Mucky or I have a Kahuna or any of the other people that I normally do these types of things with but I think this is going to be a little bit more intimate it's going to be just talking to you guys directly and giving you my thoughts I can see we've got a few people here in the live already rcrc welcome Christina good morning for you as well and Paul saying that it's evening over where he's at and Gabe welcome always good to have you in the live as well and harukawa trash welcome as well welcome back so yeah I'm gonna go into some of their tier rankings with everybody tonight it's evening on my side if you couldn't tell on the back you could probably see it's quite dark so I'm gonna go into the power rankings I'm going to go into the tier rankings I'm not too sure how many of you have actually seen some of that content that I did earlier in the season but I'll definitely bring it up and we'll talk through it so oh Charlotte that's a blast from a past I haven't seen you on the lives for quite a long time welcome back really I always loved seeing people come back to these lives so let me have a quick look and put up here the tier rankings for those that can remember so the tier rankings that
2:40 I did pre the season started will be previous season starting we had lower tier mid-tier top tier and legends coming back based on my opinion of them and their gameplay so what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to look at it now that the game has sort of halfway through and I'm gonna do a tier ranking here as well Gabe I see you buddy so Mucky is crying that Stevie's gone yes I have had to do a lot of counseling with Mucky this week he's been on my phone non-stop it doesn't matter if I tell him listen I don't need you to be calling me out before we talk about this in the live recap and review I want to know your thoughts before then because otherwise I have to fake being surprised but he has been struggling this week so I've been that older brother and I've been that shoulder for him to cry on this week but you're right Gabe it has not been an easy week for him but maybe there's some silver lining to this bad week that Stevie's had because you know we're going to be doing the review of the tier rankings and let's see if we can move Stevie away from where he's currently at because I had him as a lower tier attorney when he came back Charlotte I'll let him know I'll let him know okay Paul
4:01 Same so still the same like I wasn't ready for Stevie to be gone when he left I really thought that Stevie was gonna make the merge this time so it was sad to see him go harakawa is saying was really hoping for Stevie when the season even though I knew it had never happened I don't listen well I think Stevie plays this game a thousand times he doesn't win once I Love Stevie as a character don't get me wrong I just don't think he's got the game to win Tom I think monkey knows that he knows you guys have got a bromance going on you're kind of like the Sam and David you know from this season you guys have got that Bromance going on he knows Christina yet loves Stevie as well all right let's have a look at the tears here so when I started doing the tears in the beginning of the season I had Jackie at the bottom I felt like she was one of those players that had everything to prove coming into the season and I've got to admit you know I was really gutted to see her leave due to an injury and we spoke about that earlier in the season you know production for Australian Survivor they've been doing a lot of things right but when it comes to players safety and when it comes to those challenges I feel like there's more that needs to be done because we've had so many injuries from Australian Survivor
5:21 In recent times and we don't want to see that you know we don't want to see you know we had Ross who was a great character that season they'll probably never come back and play this show again because of the injury because of some of the legal stuff that is going on outside of the show and then we had last season Nina when she was having a great season she was in a great position she ended up getting injured and we don't want to see players go out that way so I was really you know annoyed to see another player go down that way we nearly lost George nearly broke his neck in that I mean how boring would this season have been without George if we lost him due to a challenge in the beginning of the season so they really need to look at that but sadly I don't think I can move Jackie from the bottom of this tier list where she's currently sitting at I do think she stays there but I do hope that she comes back and plays again what do you guys think Simon and Nina made the merge this time happy for them 100 percent that's being said well yeah Tom you'd still be in the game if you're same Christina I feel like Nina Sam Sean are in trouble we'll be talking about that power inking very soon Gabe being medically evacuated sucks yep 100 now Stevie I had Stevie as a lower tier player as well I
6:41 Think that's Stevie this season has come back and was a big character I knew he could be a big character I had a lot of fun with him sadly had a lot of plans and none of it worked out and he was always at the mercy of either Simon and jordy's game and that Alliance all at the mercy of George's game and then obviously he got voted off without necessarily being a big threat in this game but I do think you know and maybe Stevie has won me over a little bit because I do think he improved on his previous game I do think that he showed some promise so I probably would move Stevie up to the bottom of mid-tier based on the entertainment value that he gave me this season I really enjoyed it and maybe Mucky is rubbing off on me a little bit but I feel pretty confident we can move him up and I think that there won't be too many complaints here from any of the audience and the listeners in regards to Stevie moving up next we're going to talk about Simon I'm going to run through the this specifically the Legacy things pretty quickly because after that we'll do the Power Rankings Simon to me and Nina because I'm going to talk about both of them at the same time at this stage in the game they were both seen as material players by me when I did this ranking but I think I'm gonna get a lot of flack for this one from people I think Simon has actually
8:01 Leapfrock Nina right now for me and mittier hold on everyone I know I'm getting a lot of hate coming my way for this because Nina is loved online and obviously she comes with a great legacy so people would like to have Nina be Untouchable but if you look at Nina's game this season there hasn't been and again it's maybe not her game it's maybe the editors but I can only judge on what I see a game hasn't shown much for me she's definitely gotten alliances she's been in alliances she's probably a better player than Simon but when you look at it from an entertainment standpoint this being an entertainment you know a show that you want to get behind and that you want to have longevity where people tune in week in and week out I do think Simon has delivered every single episode this season in fact I think Simon could still go and prove people wrong and sneak his way into like a top six top seven type of situation and we may even start talking about him potentially being closer to top tier just based on the fact that he is a character I love the characters first you know I love Nina but I don't think that Nina has delivered this season for me yet I think last season she had a better season but she ended up getting Medevac which is a shame let's have a look at some of the comments here also happening Happy that Simon's still
9:21 Here Stevie was fun character you can't deny 100 percent now I reckon Stevie's a legend just for the challenge win Christina no hate here not Nina's fault she was on the she was the boring Heroes tribe yeah she didn't try something but was the truth and it's interesting Gabe you mentioned that she was on the boring tribe because there was a hidden scene between Haley and George where they talked about working together if the king and the queen comes together they can run this game and in that hidden scene I don't know how many people have seen it yet and Hayley actually says that she was bored out of her mind being in that Heroes tribe because I feel like the strategy just wasn't there and even Haley's game I've been critical of the game this season not because she's not capable in fact she's doing the best that she can with everybody targeting her right but it was interesting to hear comments that it was a boring tribe because obviously that means that Nina probably didn't have much runway to play either yeah I Paul I hear you on that point I don't know how long Nina's Gonna Last Marcus completely agree Simon is entertaining this season and the season wouldn't have been the same without Simon George robbery now Frenemies exactly I think I think we talk about the George Simon rivalry for a very long time in the future it's going to be memorable for many seasons to come in fact I had a conversation with Simon just in DM
10:42 And Simon was like I hope at least I'm memorable in some way this season and I said to him I think you are mate I think people you know for good or bad people are going to remember you and it's good I would if I was to play Survivor I would much rather be remembered than forgotten so I think that is good love Nina but she's a potato or is it a potato LOL only time will tell the fact Simon is still even in this game impressive even if that was the shaky game that got him there plus he had a huge edit from Cade agreed that hidden scene was good really wish they didn't cut it out arakawa you've got to ask yourself why did they cut that scene out I feel like they would have shown it if Haley and George was going to work deep in the game I feel like that's gonna be someone's gonna snipe either one of them velvet Nina just seemed like a reserved person so even if her gameplay was amazing she doesn't seem to really make good TV resulting in less screen time unless she is needed for the story like in her first season she was there with Sandra right so obviously she was going to be a big part of the story because Sandra was there Christina I think Simon will be dragged as a goat like Owen in 43 I can see that Simon is an Australian Survivor own so there's a few people that are seeing it that way okay moving on to Jordy I actually got a bit of flack from people
12:02 When I did this tier ranking when I put Jordy in top tier a few people said he should have been mid-tier and I'm kind of conflicted because I almost feel like he played in some ways a better game this season because he was trying to play Within himself he was trying to be a unifier and then he got swap screwed to a certain degree but then obviously with the way he played he ended up overplaying his hand he wanted to be the showman the guy that does the moves for TV which is what George does but he doesn't have the same skill set so I am kind of between the two top tier with him I still think he's in a pretty solid spot there let me know in the chat where you guys would put him would you put Jordy just in the top tier or do you guys reckon he should be met here after this season now as a person I really like Jordy I think he's a top bloke where does he rank as a player that's what I want to know Christina is saying that the joke is hard wasn't truly in it yeah listen I think he came back too soon I've spoken to players I've interviewed Survivor players on this channel and they have told me that it can take up to a year for them to just decompress and not think about the game I think he came back too soon I think he had a lot of things going on at home and that made it really hard on him playing this game we'll sing top tier Tom saying mid
13:23 Cades murdered Judy what's the voice of reason so at the moment we've got two mid one top so at this stage it's looking like he's mid unless somebody else is going to go in and tie it up a top within the next couple of seconds because I'm going to move on to Sean but I'll keep an eye on the chat now Sean coming into the season I was bullish and putting him as a top tier player even though he went early in a season I saw potential in him as a player and I thought if he was to come back this season get the numbers learn from his mistakes he went up against two pound-for-pound legends of the game in Luke Toki and David gennard and obviously didn't survive that they played him that season but I was impressed by Sean this season I think of Sean's Alliance got the numbers which is what he tried to play he tried to play The Mark Wales game he tried to play Let's get the numbers let's make it a boring and predictable game and if there wasn't someone like George with that capability in the season I think Sean could very well be the winner of the season so I find it very difficult at this stage not to put Sean right at the top of top tier I think he's increased and I think he's definitely leapfrogged the two people I've got ahead of him that I will be talking to next so let's have a look and see what people say here Jordy was the voice of reasoning absolutely okay I've seen that one Kahuna welcome to the
14:43 Live Kahuna will be back tomorrow night when we do a full recap and review of the week and he said liking him gives a few more points but based on performance he's mid so there's another mid odetta's top tier his game plan was good before George went on top of him mid I'm seeing more mid so I feel like my instinct to put him admit but top of mid is probably correct so I'm gonna I'm gonna put him there harukawa say Jordy is the top for me now since this game is improved it's funny how I almost think his game is improved this season but I find that I'm leaning towards mid and there's a few people that are telling me mid at this point potato welcome what is a potato supremacist that is a great name Gabe Sean coming in was a lot of people's Winnipeg I didn't know that but I'm not surprised especially after seeing David ganut win recently seeing Mark win last season the meta of Australian survivors slowly but surely changing and Alpha men are starting to win the show which previously for a long period of time you know I think Jericho was like the only winner and he wasn't necessarily like an alpha male and it was pretty much woman dominated Australian Survivor until pretty recently I'd put Jordy above Sean for sure shown us every because of the edit his decision making
16:03 Was horrible I think one thing I would criticize Sean on I don't agree with you Odette but I mean that's the great thing about this right is that fans not everybody's going to see it the same way and I'm sure when I do the Power Rankings people are going to disagree with me even more one thing I will definitely criticize Sean honest I think he hasn't played the relationship with Simon correctly like Simon just wants to be acknowledged by Sean and he's not giving him that acknowledgment and would have been so easy for Sean to do it I mean giving someone acknowledgment out on the island to win the game should be easy to do it should be like you know natural for you to just do that Stevie did it Stevie did it with George I don't think Stevie thought George was all that I think he was jealous of George this certain degree and wanted to vote him out but he was like you're the best player ever I love you George everything you do turns to Gold you know how difficult is it to do that modern biking says he only eats potatoes Tom McPherson says if Flix stays top tier by the end of this we're going to need to beat Stevie as a legend to make up for it for Jordy from my side Sean is not highlighted did you see the sneak peek for next week that shows Sean telling Nina Sam and Simon he has an idol and wants to take George do you think Simon and Haley might jump on board to vote George interesting well I think if
17:23 He brings up the fact that he's got an idol this is going to be the opportunity for Simon and Haley to make a move if he lets them know but it's a risky Gameplay at this stage I feel like Sean I don't think he's winning this season but I feel like he's got one big move in him and if he plays his Idol correctly he could take out a George or a Shawnee like one of the top tier players in this game so I think there's something that's going to happen he kept highly safe even though everyone should have known they'd hook up at the merge yep apparently Haley was trash talking George the whole time pre-merge but people should have known these two did a TV show together they did talking tribal together like how did people think that George and Haley did a show together spend so much time together I mean they were on each other's Instagram feed all the time how did they not know that how did they not think hmm maybe a real life relationship and a friendship outside of the game is going to Trump whatever happens in the game Sean screwed up treating someone like nothing instead of comforting him I'll be cheering I'm not a fan of George Sean to tell them I saw it in the clip all right so I'm going to move on I do still think Sean is top tier for me and he is top of the top tier now Sam
18:43 When we do the Power Rankings I think he's in a bad spot and we'll talk about that pretty soon but I think Sam for me I came into the season and I thought listen the guy made it pretty deep the first time he was pretty good socially he was you know obviously mateship and all that stuff that annoys a lot of people that watch Survivor but I've actually still been impressed by saying this season because there was a few times that people were gunning for him and he did read the room he did realize that people were coming for him you know he did try and flip it flip the script and by putting a bit of pressure on Tribal Council you had Sean coming up with a different plan not to vote Sam out so I kind of feel like Sam at this stage does still deserve to be in top tier I don't think that Sam necessarily deserves to be above flick but salmon flicker in some ways almost the same I just think flicker's got a bitter social game and I know some people said that I should put flick down from Top tier and we have to put Stevie had a legend here to make up for it I still think flick is a very good Survivor player yes she got caught with her hands you know in the cookie jar this week but his social game to save herself when George was coming after her remember Georgia is like one of the best and most persuasive players we've ever seen in any
20:04 Version of Survivor now if he had his mindset or anybody else to vote them out I don't think that they saved themself in that situation but I think due to the fact that she saved herself I would still put her as a top tier player she's not legendary and I don't think she's the best strategist out there but I think a social game definitely puts her up pretty high George bad yep just really want Sam to get out of the major mentality I get you listen I get you but I do still think somewhere inside of sand is a decent player I don't think he's mittier I think he's bottom of the top tier for me here if George leaves the show will become very boring I agree like who's gonna be I mean if George and Simon leaps that'd be very boring George is going to give Sean the flick offer put the idol in the fire sure no you're a dead duck that was one of the funniest moments of Survivor by the way and I know some people said she should have done it I think it's results focused and people focused on the fact that she didn't have a legitimate Idol me personally I don't think I would have thrown it in the fire I don't think I would have had the guts to I would have been like no I'm keeping this maybe you Bluff it hope you've got it for another round or something
21:25 All right yeah I heard Haley's bad mouth George but here's but it's such an obvious lie us fans know that there are BFFs outside of the game yep they should have known better damn I love George Chris likes Sam a lot I'll say sam at least realized he's on the bottom and didn't just do mate chip still yep I mean I like the fact that Sam woke up a little bit and he was like I'm gonna flip the script I'm gonna vote out Haley Sean's been protecting her for too long he wanted to make a move with David and Nina and I in some ways I'm actually kind of sad we're not going to see Sam betray people this season because I feel like he would have but he's got no agency in the game he's got no numbers now I feel like it's a great social game but next to no strategic mind to back it up should have known turning on Liz and Shawnee immediately would blow up in a face no matter what and harukawa saying if George and Simon both leave it'll just be shantine Central which I'm all in for yeah she would have to carry the show and she could she definitely could all right so now looking at these Legends currently I feel very good about each one of them and I feel very good about each one of them exactly where they are Shawnee has been great she saved George a couple of times this season but I don't think that without George she would have been as effective in some ways because he's the tool the brand
22:45 Tool that just gets it done like he's like a freak of nature a force of nature that just bulldozes his way through this game and he definitely strategically I think is carrying that Alliance massively but Shawnee has definitely been a big part of that game she's twice let him know when people were coming for him and she's twice saved him she's twice to help them to forget our when his reads been off and I do think as a package they're working very well together but for me Haley at this stage you can't move her away from being top of the legend tier she's already won a season she is playing with house money this season so that top three I will just keep it the same at this stage let's have a look and see what people are saying well Sam's first season in with his numbers flipping on his head Sandy P had just joined Samus top deer yeah to me certainly I get it a lot of people are not happy with that I don't think he's a great player but I think he's got some great instincts that makes sense when people were coming for him at least they knew they were coming for them right and he was actively trying to change the script trying to get Nina and David and then also Liz in and making that move against Haley because Sean wouldn't budge so I don't feel like he's a horrible player I know some people would like me to just trash him but I'm
24:05 Not talking about the power rankers we'll talk about the power rankings next the fact that the Mt Alliance wasn't able to bring Haley and Simon on board speaks a lot about their gameplay 100 percent wool Sam's in trouble velvet year but George most likely would have been a pre-mudge boot without Shawnee so I think she could do better with Adam than the other way around she need he needed her in the game and he needed her to get that momentum in the beginning I do think Shawnee could do well with Adam in the game but I do think Shawnee was smart enough to realize she needed him in the game as that shield now has she taken him too far I don't think so I think she's probably taken him as far as he should be going at this stage because people are still going to go for Haley and George before they go for Shawnee I think so great gameplay by her and I mean by the end of this we might do another review she might topple both of them especially if she wins this season but I think do at the moment I think they're still above explain yourself Chris I think I did a good explanation in the beginning Sandy you might have to go back and listen to that first bit Tom McPherson I agree with Chris Sam at least makes it fun almost any season he plays in consistent player exactly I don't think he like if we had more players here and maybe we do a top tier ranking for all of the Australian Survivor players when it's off season I
25:26 Think he's going to be lower topped here always but I do think he sneaks into top tier because of the fact that he will get deep in most seasons I very I don't think he'll ever be in a season where you don't make the merch at least King George will rule this season let's hope so RC a great time at a good raids and the swap but the move against highly I think is accredited to Nina and Dave not Sam I needed George's strategic mind as well remember her wrong read on flick 100 percent Gemini welcome and comment from twitch it says have you applied for Australian Survivor yet if not you should fun fact I've never applied for Australian Survivor because I don't live in Australia I live in New Zealand I have applied for Survivor New Zealand the first season and I got pretty far in the casting for the first season and somewhere so I'm happy I didn't get on to that season because I've kind of felt like a Survivor New Zealand wasn't really ready now I've heard good things about Survivor New Zealand season two I never watched that I have also got pretty good context with Survivor South Africa because I'm South African born so I'm from Cape Town originally and I've met Lulu buta not about getting on the show just spoke to him about Survivor in general and I know a lot of Survivor players in South Africa so I do think if there is ever and
26:46 I'm not saying I will be there's nothing's been promised but I think if there is a chance for me to get on Survivor the most likely show I'll get on to Survivor South Africa I would love to play Survivor one day I think it would be a blast but I don't know how I'll do because so many people now know like not a lot of people but the fans know so if there's like a super fan season people might be like this guy you know he talks about the show even though I don't think my takes are that odd RC final three George Shawnee and Sean Sam's consistently trash it's all good Gemini would you rather play Au or Survivor South Africa I feel like I would want to play Australia for the challenges because I love Australian Survivor Challengers I think it would be so cool but I think I would like to play Survivor South Africa because of the edit I think survivors of Africa gives a more fair edit to everybody so if I wasn't a part of the main story on Australia I probably would be purple or there's a good chance of me being purple I think on survivors of Africa there's a better chance that my strategy will be shown even if I'm not winning the game if that makes sense all right harukawa nice kiota I should say it's welcome or hello in Maori honestly I said bro
28:06 I reckon you will kick butt if you're able to play Australian so well I hope so RC I appreciate you're saying that Tom what if Stevie disguised himself as George this season and has actually been making all the moves that would make Stevia Legend very sneaky you're bringing that Mucky energy tonight Tom ICICI you will be so liable likable okay I hope so I hope so that could also be a threat right so if you're a likeable person and you know a little bit about the game people might just be like we'll cut this person very quickly lachlan's land welcome if you go on Aussie Survivor no one will know you no one and Aussie Survivor even watches the show in general yeah hopefully like I hope so maybe that's the case because I feel like the Survivor South Africa community is a lot more tight and like all the super fans know who's around like everybody almost knows each other you know all right let's move on to the power rankings because I think I've sort of held off long enough and doing the tier rankings and let's talk about the players that are still left in the game now for me currently the player that I'm very confident has zero chance at winning this game and is at the bottom at number 10 is Sam I think that you know Sam
29:26 Coming into this end game now has been targeted a few times already and how many times can you survive before the ax comes swinging his way there is a fear from George that Sam could potentially pull Simon back as well so I don't think he should be fearful of Sam I think he should be more fearful of Sean but for some other reason I see Sam as the next person out at this point in the game and sadly he's just run out of Runway and he's run out of numbers also seeing George make those faces in the last episode being super annoyed at Sam he tells me that George really doesn't like him and maybe he's also got that whole makeshift thing against Sam at this point and he was defending Maddie really hard after that vote against David because obviously Sam would have been Furious because that was his ride or die it was his right-hand person that got voted out so I think that Sam is at the bottom here what do you guys reckon Gemini which Australian Survivor and some African Survivor cast would you like to see on future challenge Seasons which Australian Survivor okay I'm assuming you're meaning which Castaways would I like to see on the challenge if it was Australian Survivor I would have said Brooke but she's already been on the challenge Australia so I'd like to see Luke Toki on the challenge I reckon yeah he won about four
30:46 Immunities in this second season so I think he'd be decent but he'd be a lot of fun I also would like to see Jordan from blood vs water on it I think he would be good it'd be good a good representation as well on the show you know I don't think we've ever had a Polynesian ethnicity on the main show challenge so if we're talking about main show Challenge and I think also another one man I forgot a name now that got into the finals there was a challenge Beast last season I'd love to see her on me as well and for South Africa it'd have to be chappies and Rob bintilli those are the two I'd like to see unfortunately I do have to agree with you boss I'm assuming it's about Sam I think final three prediction all right this one I agree are you daddy said that's not very loyal or mate should be of you hey just because I think it's a top tier player you'll get to the merch every time I think he's run out of Runway Sam looks like he's clear next vote Liz looking very good this season Lydia on the challenge yeah 100 Lydia would do good and Abby both of them would do good the thing is what really annoyed be about the challenge Australia and why I think it failed when it comes to the viewership is they didn't take legitimate stars from Survivor Australia and
32:06 Put them on the challenge Australia it just makes sense it's a reality TV competitive reality TV show and you chose to take all these love show people and put them on there and people just weren't interested what kind of show is the challenge I've never really looked into it the challenge is a competitive reality TV show so if you like Survivor I think you may like it as well so there's some previous Survivor players that have been playing in it recently we've had Natalie Anderson on it we've had Jay Starrett on it and we've had Michelle Fitzgerald on it and there's been yeah there's been a lot of shows that if you go down that deep dive believe me there's a lot of content for you to watch it's nearly 40 seasons in fact if you take all the off the offshoot Seasons it's way over 40 seasons George should be more scared of Sean but I guess I believe Sam would wiggle his way in while be easy target next time Shea that's the one Shay I'd love to see Shay's obese by the way if you check out her Instagram and if you check out her training routine I can see why she beasted her season she's an absolute Legend Hayley would also be great at the challenge I don't think Haley I don't know if Haley would want to do it's my it's my thinking with Haley might not yeah I feel like she's going to move on with her life now and I don't think
33:26 Haley got into Survivor to become a reality TV star if that makes sense I think she's gonna just move on and have a normal life and my call is we don't see Haley back probably unless it's a global crossover season or like a winners and War for Australian Survivor David on the challenge yeah definitely David would be awesome I'd enjoy him obviously David's getting a little bit older now I think he's like in his 40s already so I don't know how he would compete but sometimes the challenge have some older competitors that do extremely well too many battery Stars luckily you know what I mean hey like yeah but there's another batchy star that ended up anyways I don't spoil anything go and watch it they need the viewership rcsc and you're honest opinion do you think Liz will somehow double cross both George and Shawnee we'll get to that when we talk about Liz and my power rankings Sam needs eight immunity wins in a row yeah he's not gonna do that Brooke's saying the challenge makes Survivor look easy I yeah I don't know I don't know I think that she was egged on maybe by the production team to do it one of the things a lot of people may not know is that it was a U.S production team that do the main show that recorded and were the behind the scenes crew for the challenge so I'm sure their eggs are on and they were like come on just say this because you know then maybe you'll have a better chance of getting on the main show or something I don't believe it I don't think it's harder
34:47 What about Johnny he could Johnny was on it my gut feeling tells me Liz is the biggest outsider because there's a coincidence that you're both wearing blue shirt and Red Cap like Sam in this photo I wish I could say I planned it I don't have that type of attention to detail Shawnee said she's up for more reality TV in a recent interview on a TV website this week yeah I mean Shawnee would be a great character I just don't think Shawnee could win the challenge I don't like she could strategically get to the end there's some good strategic players in the challenge the problem is at the end game you have to do a final the last challenge final took a hundred hours for them to complete like you need legitimate athletes to do this stuff you know unless we destroy the 100 percent same really lucky is on a really dominating tribe in both the season so he can skate to the merge yeah all right let's get on to the next one here I do know that we've got a few people still to get through and I have only spoken about the person that I think is right at the bottom at the moment the next person that is on this list is gonna be someone that I think maybe you guys won't agree with this but I'm doing my power rankings based on who I think is going to get to the final more than anything else not necessarily who's gonna
36:07 Win but I do think this person Simon is right at the bottom for me still now I know that some people will say hey what do you mean he's just gotten into this Alliance but I feel like he's no one's First Choice he's at the bottom I don't think Simon has got the ability to play that middle game effectively and jump back and forth and I'm very fearful that George still does not trust him so when George gets the numbers in the game he might look somewhere else and because Sean has got an idol Sean only has to play that Idol correctly once so Sean kind of still Pips Simon for me and my power rankings and I'm putting Simon as number nine at this stage he's gonna have to play the underdog game and he's going to have to worm his way up from the bottom because I don't think there is anybody in this game right now that will put their neck on the line for Simon which is a shame I like the guy as a character and someone that brings entertainment to the show but I think that at the moment it's just the ceasefire between him and George I do think George is going to swing for him what do you guys think about Simon being number nine here too low or too high Simon Aid winning might go farther yeah could go far I just I'm basing my power rankings purely on who I think is making the end and I don't think he's getting the end velvet I mean Simon didn't really
37:27 Do anything active to get into the majority he was just approached because he was an easy number at the bottom 100. Chris I think Haley is going to use Simon for her game in the past episode Simon has been trusting Haley gives you a little bit of an idea of how high I think Haley will be in this power ranking because yeah I don't want to talk about Hayley before we get into it but I don't yeah it's hard not to talk about ali because she brought up but we'll talk about it in a second Gabe Simon has to flip with Haley before they get to seven 100 the problem is I don't know if Simon and Haley's gonna flip I'm hey Mucky welcome I think it's too low but Stevie is at the top so yeah always Mucky we've been telling everybody you've had a hard week everybody put some hearts in the chat for Mucky is that a pretty hard week this week with his heart being broken and Stevie no longer being in the game Paul Newman good call on Simon yeah so Simon either reaches the final or goes home next week now if I was in the game I would be dragging Simon's ass to the end because I don't think Simon if I feel like he's got my back in the game and if I had agency I don't think Simon could win the game at this stage because I feel like he's made too many fatal flaws and people won't take his game seriously when he gets there unless he plays like an
38:48 Excellent game from here on out I just don't see him winning go now only chance to get to the end is as a goat yeah final three Simon George and Shawnee or mad Jerry Shawnee winf wins both times if Simon do manage to somehow to do an idol then he might have some chance yeah he needs an idol and we know that there is an idol out there so it could be interesting to see who's actually going to get that Idol that could be really interesting because that could change the game up big time as well and by the way I think I said it in the top five takes I'll say it again I love the fact that Australian Survivor is still playing the game on hard mode they're not making it Easy by giving the idol in a parchment or a satchel that's like colored like the tribe colors someone I think will be a consensus vote and might be voted out by his Idol Sean wow that would be pretty poetic if that happens wool Simon goes out third and crushes my soul Odette I think next week based on the previews either they successfully take out George or Nina turns to save him interesting Simon Haley and Matt needs to take Nina and Sean to at least cut one of the OG spy schools Tom you'll get through this Mucky you're just strong as Stevie maybe someone will find a coconut and play it as an idol agree with that if Simon reaches final tribal counseling a zero
40:08 Chance unless he's super dominant from here on out yep all right let's get into the number eight person here on my rankings and I'm pretty sure if you guys put it in the chat you'll know who it is because there's kind of like a theme and I'm not trying for it to be a theme but number eight Sean now if you ask me maybe three episodes ago four episodes ago would Sean rank this load my power rankings I would have said hell no he's one of the few players out there that's actually had an edit around him and talks about wanting to win the show he's got an idol he hasn't told anyone about he may tell them about it now but Sean has lost power in this game and I don't see anybody wanting to see like sort of drag Sean in this game and take him head on at challenges as they continue on because we know that Australian Survivor in general is physical it is endurance based and I do think Sean has got a lot in the tank so I think he's out pretty quickly so I don't feel very good for these midi boys at the moment or the alpha boys in the game Michael my heart is so badly broken it's more crushed than tomatoes in a can that's been dropped off the Empire State Building by someone who forgot to tie their shoelaces maybe Simon saves Georgie or George next episode
41:30 That could be interesting I'd love to see that lost this edit too yep Mucky you can still win the game dedicated to Steve's Legacy I reckon Sean is higher rank than Nina I'll tell you in a second why I have Sean rank bolognina when I talk to talk about Nina I'll tell you why Sean I'm winning he's got to pull Mike Holloway can see him make a major move getting a big player out though yep I think Sean JT played the idol 2 greedy on the flick vote okay yeah so you think he should have he should have saved flick in that round I don't know I feel like if he did that they would have just they probably would have still stuck to we need to get another one of the OG Heroes out and maybe because he popped his head out and played the game they might be like now we need to chop him because you know he's got doesn't have an idol so if he doesn't want immunity we vote him out so it could have make him an even bigger threat maybe he would have jumped ahead of Sam in the picking order but at this stage I feel like he's not ahead of Sam so I don't know it is stuff he does need numbers in the game though I agree on your take with Sean that OG Heroes had been crashing in the first half of the season so they aren't able to explore the stream for their alliances anymore is downwards
42:50 Trajectory you know as an upwards one hundred percent oh dude you're on to it and we're going to get on to the next one here I want to keep it moving here so we've got the seventh person on the power ranking her ears are burning because we've been talking about her and it's gonna be Miss Nina twine she's gonna be the seventh person here in my rankings and I still feel low on Nina in regards to where she's sitting in the game right now for her to get to the end she's got it infiltrate an alliance that's never played with her and she's got to try and work with them and I don't know if she can do that but I saw a scene where she was talking to George in this last episode I think it was this last episode and George was saying to her I don't have a problem with you and me we're good you've never done anything to me so to me that is George remember his thing his thing is his superpower in this game is he likes to work with his enemies even though she's not an enemy she's kind of like in the outside he likes to have options and I think Nina might become one of George's options in this game and he's reaching out giving her the Olive Branch so what I did said in regards to her edit being in an upward trajectory I agree I think she's on
44:10 The app because George likes her don't think so flick and Simon these players around to make a move and Sean wants to be one of those numbers yet was last episode on the hammy yep I remember that so I think Nina's got some longevity in the game maybe she is the person who ends up saving George like someone said earlier that could be a possibility but I also think that you know even though I moved Nina downwards on my legacy tier that I had and maybe I'm a bit low on her from what I've seen so far I do think there's a great player within her and she's now also shown us when she went up against the Lifeguard Maddie and the hold your breath challenge that she's got a lot of heart and that she could potentially be a threat in those endurance challenges or the things that where it's mind over matter so she's got a very strong mental focus about her so I wouldn't completely count Nina out Nina feels like the Dark Horse of the season to be if her relationship with Liz isn't burned I think she has potential to come back that's right they've never really explained to us what happened between her and Liz because when Liz went over to the other tribe after she mutinied there was you know Nina whispered to her put in a good word for us like
45:31 Maybe that's one of the reasons why George doesn't dislike Nina because he knows Nina was one of the few people that were willing to work with Liz when she was on the other side so the big problem that Nina has in this game right now is that Haley is still closer to George than what Nina is and if Haley wants Nina out because of the fact that Nina was coming for her and she knows about it she could put a lot of pressure on George potentially and even make George choose which at this stage I think he would lean more towards Haley our CRC my predictions is she might end up working with George at the same time Nina will play two sides and she also has a relationship of Swords with Liz yep the Spice Girls should just have pick Nina as part of the girls Alliance yeah they should have I don't know why they haven't that's an interesting one I don't think they've played with her for long enough or Shawnee hasn't but I am surprised that they're not looking at her as that option at this point because I still firmly believe that the reason that Shawnee and Liz wanted to get flick and all that girl's Alliance is because they wanted to have some power of their own because at the moment George is sitting in the middle of two factions within that Alliance and I think Shawnee and Liz also wanted their own option like George has currently got
46:51 An option let's have a look what other comments are coming in David said and there's exit press the relationship with Liz was burned due to telling George about the highly Blind Side ah right that makes a lot of sense actually because we didn't see that explained to us in the game but yeah I mean obviously shared loose lips about that what did they expect she was always going to go back to her core Alliance I think George should be more to blame for going and I'm surprised Liz didn't go back to George and that she wasn't upset about George just telling Hayley about it who knows final three might be Georgina and Liz Nina can throw Haley under the bus to take Haley's spot it's also the show pre-swap Nina was always working both sides she always gave info to Ben and Shani all right let's get into the next one here and this person is gonna rank number six I believe swivel F2 and this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone some people might still think that she can go a lot deeper than what she can I don't think she's getting to the end again it's going to be Haley I think that you know Haley
48:11 Is a lot higher for me than Simon obviously Simon was my second lowest on the power rankings at the stage because I don't think Simon's got the capability to play that mid game very well I think Haley does but Haley being a winner at some point it's going to catch up to her if Haley wins this game she's gonna have to win out until the end and how FC Hayley being taken out of this game the most likely way is by Shawnee and Liz sniping Haley because they notice that she is close to George and that they want to weaken George because George has got all the options in the game it seems so I think it's dangerous to keep Haley and George in this game for too long and I just don't think that Haley has that person outside of George that is going to go to bat for her personally so that's why she's ranked at six for me Italian someone wants to flip Nina can leak that and George targets Haley could happen hey Zach welcome Jerry is flying under the radar 100 so like I said in the beginning of this my power rankings is based on who I think is going to get to the end not necessarily who's playing the best game but who do I think is going to get into the final three and if they do get there do they have a chance of winning I guess is also a part of it but to win the game you
49:31 Have to get to the end like Haley if she gets to the end in my opinion she wins she should win a previous winner should never win their return get back to the end of the game when they do they should win like Sandra did or they should win like Tony did well I guess in Tony's case there was only winners so a winner was always going to win Michael I know this is a podcast about Survivor but I just realized there's never been a commercial for microwaves all right Paul Haley Aid winning I agree imagine winning a million dollars because of Survivor yeah I mean she didn't win a million dollars she won she won a half a million dollars but my understanding is that there's no tax on winnings in Australia so they probably not their file from what a winner would win in America Jacinda welcome to the live why did Haley leave her Alliance I thought she was close to Sean she was close to Sean but I think she realized that the numbers weren't necessarily there and I also think that whole conversation about George giving that little bits of information to her throughout the game proved George's loyalty to her and she knows that Nina was coming for her so that Alliance always was going to gun for her at some point so I think she made the right choice but she's not in a great position
50:51 I think Haley has a lot more competition when it comes to the challenges she's good at this season like Liz and Shawnee 100 all right let's get on to the next one here as we go into the final five now these next two I've Got a Feeling is going to be the most contentious and you guys might not agree with me on this and I'm okay with that we all have our own opinions about who we think is going to make it to the end and I'm ready to hear your thoughts on this one but biggest shock of my power ink is probably so far number five Miss Shawnee and hear me out on this one I know Shawnee has been a big player this whole season and we spoke about how George needed her in the game and vice versa I just think her editors on a downward trajectory in some ways because like she's not necessarily driving the strategy and I think that George is going to come to a point if the game isn't a predictable way and they get to the final five of the five players that are left currently George would be a fool to take Shawnee and Liz to the end versus Jerry and Matt who I think he has a better shot at beating at the end so this prediction of power ranking is again based on who I think is going to get to the end and I don't think Shawnee is getting to the end if she sticks and stays loyal to George she
52:12 Needs to snipe George and I don't know if she's going to do it because she does take this game quite personally like we saw with flick you know she wants to hang out with George after the game so can she make that move I don't know so that's why I've got her as my fifth Choice here I did yeah Haley isn't winning I don't see her reaching the final isn't going to be George this time they both make it to the end I feel like I ever took Shawnee out they will win if they're returning trouble Council yeah that Johnny is clearly getting frustrated by how controlling George is with the vote and I think that's spraying on that relationship will either be the downfall of her or George I agree I'm just bidding on George not Shawnee because I've learned that in Survivor you never bet against George like the first season that he played I thought he was gone so many times he's come back this season even better so I'm not going to vote I'm not going to bet against George in this thing I think George wins out over the two of them Gemini Spice Girls Shawnee got in and inducted to the Australian survival Hall of Fame do you think it can be a hat-trick for the Spice Girls Alliance George Liz and or just George I could see it I don't know if Liz will get in there this early on I mean if Liz wins the season maybe if
53:33 She wins in a great fashion because I've said it many times Earth and newbie wins this season from this point onwards it's going to be one of the most impressive wins because at this point a returnee should win this show I can see George sniping Shawnee before Shawnee Snipes George also she and Liz won't be ever turned on each other exactly I think George is a pragmatic person and he's like he does the numbers and he will lead his logical side of his mind take over and he will snipe Shawnee I think and hope that he can mean you know build Bridges afterwards welcome the moment someone's name is written down they're just as great risk in the future episode Sean he's being a Target recently does that make me have concern for her yeah I think she's taking the game too personally and I think it's going to be her downfall Gabe only way Shawnee out is George or is the big Target Harris minority gets out I don't know I don't know if it could be either or it could be either or I feel like people will want to take George out before shiny if it's the OG Heroes so in my mind I feel like George would be a I think George would be a part of the plan to take out Shawnee Sabri welcome to the live that's a an awesome comment I do these words because I love the show and I love interacting with the fans and you know a little bit
54:53 Off topic but this last month has been so amazing because you guys really motivate me to keep doing this content because the growth of the channel has just been insane like Australian Survivor fans are the best you guys have supported this channel like no one else's business I think I've had nearly 300 Subs in a month and the views the comments I love reading all of them I love coming back to them so honestly thank you so much for following it because without you I'm just the guy talking into a mic so thank you so much for the support my prediction is the whoever gets King George out will be the winner could be yeah I kind of hope George wins it at this point but we'll talk about where I rank them and we'll talk about why I think the game is going to play out this way and I could be completely wrong but we'll love speculating right jacinta Tate I thought this being her third time playing she's had the biggest social game and Branch out to the heroes ball she should be branching out she should be looking at other connections she's not Liz wins rookie season versus all these absolute monsters she's the greatest winner yeah Liz Jerry or Matt all three of them could still win but I think Shawnee would be way more aware of George trying to sniper I don't know if George would see Shawnee coming I don't know I don't know I don't know if she would be because the problem I have with shortly she could be she's got a great read on the game
56:13 But for some other reason no one ever really can pick up when George is lying to them and he's really good at it and I feel like I said I feel like she really likes George now and she wants to go and you know drink some margaritas with him afterwards be friends I would love to be proven wrong I just saw this week that she really takes this game personally and I love Shawnee and I hope she proves me wrong but I'm worried for her CD XX keep guy man always go to your channel every morning after every episode thank you so much really appreciate the support it's all Stevie's content that boosted the channel for sure yep 100 but also awesome work man thanks I don't know if Shawnee even knows Matt is close to George yeah I don't know if she does but I feel like I think she does I think it's why she wanted to flick because she was like that's just another number I'm not close to and George is close to so what Shawnee and Liz should be doing right now if they're going to win this game they should get Nina and like someone said earlier and they should have that extra option within the girls Alliance and I just don't see them proactively going to Nina I saw George going to Nina so that tells me that George is doing this extra work he's hustling like no one else's business so I'm thinking George has got a higher likelihood of going
57:33 That way Sammy I want the king to win Jerry can't win your stock is crashing yep I said buy jury stock very early on in the season it's going down it's going down at the moment kind of like what stock is really struggling well all stock is currently struggling velvet I think George has the same problem as Serene when it comes to even if he makes the late game he won't ever win the final challenge a week could be taken out yes I do think that's a problem George is the best liar in Survivor history I think flick knew kind of when he was coming for her but it was like a common denominator that she probably saw that he was working with Matt or got along with Matt really well Sean should definitely worry about Matt considering the fact that George was willing to cut sneaky for Matt who has surprised you the most this season surprised me the most I'm trying to think who did surprise me the most this season that's an interesting one and other people put your comments in here as well because it's a really good question I feel like a lot of the players have played predictably to me Nina surprised me for not being as proactive as I thought she would be in the game but I do think it's because of the tribe that she
58:53 Was in so that was a bad surprise I'm hoping that Nina comes back in this latter half of the game probably Geordie yeah Marcus Jordy is a good one Jordy is a good one because I came in with Jordy I had like low expectations of him I think I thought he was a showman and he overplayed his hand quite a lot in his first season and I wasn't as like I was hiding him as an Entertainer but I wasn't as high on him as a game player and he changed his game up a lot coming back this season I feel like if he didn't get into the wrong tribe and didn't get the power going to his head like he did again Jordy there's a good player in Jordy so I'd love to see Geordie for a third time at some point when he's ready Matt yeah Matt's doing a good job Stevie I thought Stevie was predictable to be honest I know I know Mucky doesn't want to hear that but I do think he improved Matt for sure Simon becoming Charlie Brown surprised yeah Simon looked like a legitimate player the first season and he just got sniped and outplayed by Danny and the girls but this season he his whole edit is like a complete flip they're making him the Charlie Brown Australian Survivor TV rankers will drop if there's no King George I agree he makes the show Julian welcome saying pleasantly surprised by Haley I thought a Tugger would be too big to yep that's another good one I mean I'm not surprised by Haley doing really good in
1:00:13 The game and being a great player we all know she's a phenomenal player but I am surprised that she's still in the game that she's gotten to this point it's an absolute shock to me says Stevie surprised me with his ability to forgive Shawnee and come to work with her yeah definitely and Simon surprised me as well by wanting to work with George and George for wanting to work with Simon I guess there's a certain degree all right let's look into the next one and this is going to be number four on the rankings and this is a person again that is a very hot favorite but again like I said I'm putting my rankings based on who I think is going to get to the end and at this point I think George is going to betray the girls so I'm gonna put Liz as number four at this stage which I know is going to be a shock to people because a lot of people are pretty high on Liz and Shawnee but if Shawnee Falls at this stage in the game I think Liz will find it difficult the one thing Liz has in her power though an ability is she is a legitimate athlete possibly one of the best we've seen I mean she went up against Haley this week and beat Haley at an endurance challenge where we know that Haley's the endurance Queen we know Haley isn't an exceptional Survivor she's got I don't know what a record is in individual
1:01:33 Immunities but I'm pretty sure she won like three or four in a season so that was impressive to see it was kind of like a change of the Old Guard to the new Kurt coming around and beating the veteran at the game so she could very easily if she gets to like a final four scenario win her way to a final three if she gets there so but if she doesn't win I think she's in trouble let's see what people are saying here poor Steve be waiting for four years for his revenge and never getting it yeah he just didn't have the numbers you know he was a captain without a ship like George and them were talking about velvet Lizzy kind of gives me Ziggy Vibes to be honest I can see that Ziggy is a blast from the past I'd love to see ziggyback but I love Liz's facial expressions it is it is golden like that episode where she played the idol and David looked at her and he's like are you sure you're gonna play trying to do like a Benji on her and she just had like no expression on her face and she's just like yep it seen me it's seen me when I saw that it was so good I feel like a lot of people forget that Liz is an Olympian I haven't I mean she's got a tattoo with the Olympian rings on her body so
1:02:54 How do people forget that Gabe if Shawnee leaves before Liz then she'd have to start winning Challengers I'd like Liz over shawnee's first a Target list overshani first I agree they Pro that probably should because you never know when Liz can go on a run but I think people are going to look at Shawnee as the three-time player great social player and they're going to be like if Shawnee sits at the end she's most likely beating I think Shawnee could probably at this stage beat anyone at the end except for Hattie but then again I don't know she took it very personally against flick hopefully Flick's not too burned by her and because of the conversation she had flick does seem like a good sport so I don't think she'll hold it against the Zach thank you for approving I thought people were going to give me a bit of flack for this one to be honest true she's an Olympic pole vaulter she's going to smash challenges I also love her facial expression she looks unimpressed at child counselor it's hilarious I agree it's so good do you think George will go next episode no I do not think George is going to go anytime soon now whenever they do next on Survivor and they show you oh this person is going it's always a misdirect they won't spoil it before it happens and also George has not been mentioned yet so he's somewhere in my top three power rankings and I'm power ranking based on who
1:04:14 I think is going to get to the end so I don't think George is going next same with your comment on Shawnee Liz also takes the game personally but she's also good at physical challenges yep if Shawnee were to go out could Liz do a Natalie Anderson and take revenge for Shawnee and win the spot win for the Spice Girls she could I think she could but I haven't seen enough of Liz's social strategic game to give me confidence that she's gonna run the game at this stage she's learning from two of the best I've been saying it this whole season every time I do my top five takes I'm like I like her to potentially win because she's learning from George and from Shawnee you couldn't get to this season in hindsight should have been called the true survivor island of the idols because she's got two of her Idols or two Survivor Idols I don't know if it's her Idols teaching her the game throughout the season and I think she's going to be a better player for it thou the Johnny gives the line Liz gives the face perfect Dio yep this is epigration face like Shawnee said it's hot it's so cool I think wasn't it wasn't it the comment that was made by Shawnee in the beginning I loved it I knew she was going to be my BFF from the first moment I saw a resting face or something like that still got it that there was no Simon and Stevie reunion at
1:05:34 The merge I agree operation Destiny it's never going to happen Jerry is definitely flying under the radar I agree that's why he's not been mentioned yet I don't know if he could I don't think in fact I don't think he can win but I think he's gonna get to the end two dollars thank you so much I appreciate that great verts keep it up I mate honestly appreciate it so much any donations that anyone gives it's never necessary but if you ever feel like you want to do it you know be free all of this goes straight to the channel I promise you like anything I'm going to be doing this is something I want to do long term and I want to continue to improve the quality of the Channel I want to as we grow and I know it's probably annoying for those people that watch my show all the time when I say can you please subscribe can you please like the content but it does help with the growth of the channel that's the biggest reason I do it and it's free it's a free way of supporting the channel anything we do with growing this Channel or any money that comes in I'm putting straight back into the channel and I'm going to continue to try and make the content better and better as we continue to do this thank you so much I appreciate you Tom shawnee's the social Queen Liz is the physical Queen and George is the Strategic Queen yep I agree all right let's get into the top three we're down to the meat and potatoes now of my rankings and coming in at this point
1:06:54 And I think this is going to be a shock to you this is not who I think might not win it but this is basically who I think ah guys do you think before I do my top three actually do you think it is a final three or a final two this season because if it is a final three it may change my top three power rankings if it is the final two it will change it as well so let me know in the comments and I'll go on what you guys are telling me if you think it is a final two I'll change my rankings but if it's a final three I'm Gonna Keep it the same as it is currently because I'm gonna try and see who most likely is going to get to the end final two yeah luckily I think it's a I wonder if it's a final two as well two because of the medivac final two final two weeks better the third person gets no votes praying for a final three okay I'm gonna do my power and kicks for anybody listening to this definitely a final three okay how many do we have so we've got one two three four five six people saying final two and then we've got three people one two three four five
1:08:14 People saying final three now we're up to Yeah final two Nigerians I think so as well Gemini I actually think we're just pipping on the final two so bear in mind guys this power ranking is based on a final two and it would look different if it's not a final two but based on a final two my power ranking for this next person the third in the power ranking is going to be the biggest shock I think it's George I think and this breaks my heart to say this because honestly I was so much a George fan last time he played I mean I did a reaction video on this channel about him coming back to play the game hey George I love you have you ever watched this which you're probably not going to be watching it an hour and eight minutes into the show but I love you man you're a great player I'd love to have you on the show one day me and George have spoken via DMS a few times we've never been able to make it happen for him to be on the channel but it's definitely a bucket list up there with Luke Toki who I've already interviewed Dirty Harry who I've spoken to before and a bunch of the other great players of Survivor I'd love to speak to George but I think George if it's a final two get sniped just before the end he might make some of these big moves but I feel like he could be the Omar or the
1:09:34 Jesse of the season at a much bigger scale and get sniper he might be the person that's that these other two players might have to get over to win but in saying that it kind of makes me confused about the final two a little bit because we haven't seen a great winners edit from the two people ahead of him so I might think that Matt or loses interchangeable Liz could be either number four or number one because Jerry is my number two and Matters by is my number one based on this so it's going to be very difficult like I'm actually finding this very difficult I'd love a final two final two because Matt and Jerry made mention of the final two deal exactly that's the thing that threw me because I'm like these two are gonna take a shot at George at some point they know they have to and Matt is the most likely person to win a final three in that situation and if Matt goes up against Jerry I think Matt wins didn't they do a final three because last season was blood vs water which was a format in the US final three hopefully if it's a final three then George could potentially win I think if George Goes Up Against Matt and Jerry that's his best way to get to the end and win but I think again Shawnee he loses and I don't know how he does against Liz either because I feel like Liz have had some time to bond and spend with the other
1:10:55 Side so she might be really good at a final Tribal Council production going to fight for final three to happen they might just change it I feel like they might just change it and do like a little sneaky bendry Bergen move on us and you know just change the format of the game at the end I don't actually think production did that but you know it's a final three they need to get rid of the jury member twist yeah now by the way I've always said if they do need to get rid of a jury member I don't like it when they removed you remember and when I spoke to lerubota the producer for Survivor South Africa I said so if you ever needed to do that again in the future can you just bring in like a nullifier a jury nullifier so that the person at least gets to spend the whole Ponderosa there they need to they get to go to the final Tribal Council but then they don't know who's going to be nullified until the end and then you can just say there's a Advantage for whoever to win in a challenge and they nullify a jury members vote but they still get to vote if that makes sense I think that's the fairest way to do it Scary Spice has improved this game so much this season but he won't win the challenge however he could convince someone to take him to the finale because he lost previously yeah I mean that's his best move but I feel as much as I love George I think George loves himself more than I love him and
1:12:15 I feel like he would find it very difficult to say to someone I've got no shot at winning the end game because of my social game I just don't think he could humble himself we saw it play out when he went up against Haley he just couldn't eat Humble Pie which is a big flaw for him which is one of the reasons I kind of think like he's the Russell Hans of Survivor Australia and I know a lot of people don't like Russell I mean it in a good way because I think Russell Hans as a player was entertaining and strategically he was very good I don't necessarily think you know recent sort of things that he do on his life and what he says I'm not always all for that so I'm not I think George and him is probably very different outside of the game that's what I'm trying to say as a player in the game I kind of see the similarities final two bring back Jackie and Rogue but I feel George's dream management is not great so far I agree I love George but I don't think he's gonna to and either just don't think he's gonna win over the jury terms yeah I think listen if you're a George fan it's better to go into the season thinking he's not going to win than thinking he's going to go all the way and win because I think the chances is much higher that somebody's going to snipe in before the end Matt Goodwin yeah I think so if Matt goes up against Jerry in the end he could win but the one scene we have not seen yet full Matt and if we see that scene it is a lock I will be as confident
1:13:35 About him winning as I was about Mark winning last season and Haley winning the season before and that scene is him talking about his family talking about the kid that's on the way and I'm saying I need the money to start my family you know to get that security for us because I feel like we're not emotionally connected to him yet if that makes sense what's the final three it's nothing to do with the format I want a final turn I'm thinking final two do you believe when George said his goal was not to win the game what do you think is his goal then I think his goal is to go and play Survivor us I think he said that not that long ago as well he was on Twitter or Instagram saying my dream is to go and play Survivor us and you know have Jeff I don't think he said snuff by George but have Jeff there so I feel like George is playing to be an Entertainer I really think for him to be an Entertainer is first he's won some money already he's got 60 Grand right so he's got some money out of this thing and I do think he's playing to be a legend I think he's playing for legacy and I do think he's doing a good job at it plot twist it's a final four doubted not really they probably won't even number twist because they like ghost Island final three can still happen with age room members and in case of a tie it'll revert to the
1:14:55 Rules we saw in ghost Island yep so that's what Gabe means as well Zack says I think George is better player than Russell yeah could be I mean let's give Russell credit for his first two games he made it to the end twice George could make it to the end twice how would George do if he comes back for a third time because Russell had one of the biggest Targets on his back when he came in for their third season the most disappointing game of Russell is the one that he doesn't acknowledge and that's his Australian Survivor game because he came back for a fourth time and he didn't learn anything he played the exact same game I feel like George would definitely I think you're right I think George would amend his game but I do think his third game would be so difficult like he would come back with the biggest Target on his back Luke Toki David gennard all these Legends they want George to play and a future season that they're on because he would be massive when it comes to being a Target I think George would win a final three I think so against those two I think he would met us a shot against Jerry and George I don't know if Matt beats George but I think he will be Jerry George wants a TV career after this yeah well I mean he's a politic I don't think he's a politician anymore he did do after tribal or talking tribal
1:16:16 So maybe that's something that he'll go back to I've not been watching talking tribal because I struggle to watch other people's content and then to have my own thoughts so that sucks because there's some podcasters I really enjoy listening to and normally I go back after the season to listen to a bit of their takes so I don't know how good talking tribal is doing this season if Brooke and Khan has done a good job or not gilo welcome to the live saying I think Liz or Shawnee will win based on edit I've had Liz and Shawnee rank Chinese Fifth and Liz's fourth at this point George Stone lower your standards and play American version Marcus shots fired there will Marcus I think if George is up against Jerry and Simon and a final three the jury would probably respect him since the jury would consist of returning plays I agree hot take I think Simon and George are the exact same person only difference is sexuality physicality and raised by different people so basically nothing's the same Tom McPherson imagine how perfect it would be for us Survivor nerds if Matt the only newbie fan won I would love it and how funny Would it be it would be such a if you to production basically for choosing all these recruits to come and play the game and they should be choosing the atomic fear sins the Marcus Evans the lachlan's lands the gilos
1:17:36 The chadus of this world I should be choosing you guys to go and play the game instead of these celebrity Superstars that have never seen the show all right let's get on to the final two I don't even know if I'd need to do the final two because you guys kind of know who I think the final two is of my power rankers because we spoke about it but at this point the second person of my power rankings there's none other and my power rank is for those that are dropping into this very late this bicycle who I think is going to get to the end and I think Jerry is a lock like this guy's unlocked you should be a lock to get to the end because I don't think he's winning I think he is the goat not the greatest of all time but the goat being led to the slaughter here this season and if Jerry ever listens to this is Jerry I think you're a great guy but I don't know gameplay wise at least you've got the awareness that you should get rid of George and you came up with the plan talking to Matt so I will give you credit for that but I think the fact that you have written off the whole OG hero stripe and you're so against them you don't even want to have conversations it's great for you as a person to let people know who you like and who you don't like so everybody knows where you're standing with them but I think in the game of Survivor you need to suck it up a little bit and I don't think people are going to respect Jerry at the end and I don't think they're going to want to vote for him to win the game another respect of George losing due
1:18:57 To lack of physical confidence yep that blood versus oh sorry brains vs broad final immunity challenge was brutal yep he has improved I will give him that he has improved let's you know at least he's competing now he's not quitting challenges Zach Gary Matt lachlan's land if we had to pick six of the best people for U.S versus Au versus sa Seasons I'd say George David Luke Brooks Shawnee and Nina George David Luke Brook Shawnee and Nina I would replace Nina with Haley I don't think Nina is Haley's level to me I like her she's just not if it's top six Zach jury is obvious the third place or one you take to the end no one sees jury as a threat yep Old Spice I like Jerry for telling it how it is and I love that he's gunning for the big boys the old Heroes do not like jury after he called him out I agree Jerry is a sleeper like he is literally going to be sleeping on the beach when George wakes him up to go to the final travel this comment so far cdxx do you think the final tribal would be interesting if it's Matt and Jerry there
1:20:17 I feel like at this point it would be a little bit of a letdown to be honest if they got to the end in one but I've been LED down by in games of Survivor before I think the beauty that we should all appreciate about Survivor is that very rarely does our favorite win the game that's what makes it so great when my favorite player of all time Tony black Was Won twice I thought he had no chance to go on to Winners and Ward win that season but you know you don't get these things happening very often and I can't believe I've seen it happen twice so I do think it'll be a little bit disappointing if they're at the end Chris would love your videos I live in remote Scottish island called Shetland keep up the good content Chris Wood I appreciate you so much man like it means a lot I mentioned it to a few people earlier you may not have been in the Life earlier today that you know you guys have really motivated me to continue to do this I love talking to you the fans I love the interaction that I'm getting from the videos I'm putting out the lives I'm putting out and by seeing you guys support the channel by subscribing and liking and just being active it really motivates me to keep going so I really appreciate that lachlan's land I just think that pick Nina over Haley for the Sandra connection good point I can see that all right so lastly but a lot not least right now
1:21:37 And I think if you ask me a couple of episodes ago would this person be my number one in the power rankings I would have been shocked but I'm very happy to have a fan to have one of us ranked as number one on the power rankings so Matt at the moment for me is in the optimal position in this game George wants to keep him in the game he wants to work with Matt he looks at him as a loyal person in the game I think George has placed himself strategically in the middle of two alliances he knows that Matt and Jerry are tied to he knows that Liz and Shawnee is tight and he can choose where to go and I think George is going to look at Matt and Jerry and say that is the easier option that is the easier route to the end for me and it's the easier route to win at the end because if he does get to sit next to Shawnee he is going to get murdered in the final Tribal Council he's not going to get the votes and he's going to have PTSD from when he lost to another blonde girl and he's not going to make that mistake twice he's too much of a pragmatic guy he's too logical and he is going to think this thing through and due to that I could see Matt slipping by getting to the end and winning this show so I do think he's my number one I can see a scenario where him and Liz are interchangeable as
1:22:57 Well but things need to turn out differently from how I'm seeing it at the moment but any of the top five at this stage a legitimate potential winners in this game you've got Matt in fact any of four to five you've got Matt you've got George you've got Shawnee and Liz those are the people that I think are the most likely to win the show I think Jerry is not going to win I think he will get to the end but won't have a chance that is my top takes and Power Rankings here for the season as we go into the final 10 stage of the game and maybe we'll do another one just prior to the end like final six or we'll review this at the end and see how wrong I was about everything luckilies let's say yeah boy Gabe's saying Matt is that is that rare Survivor fan that actually gets cast on Australian you know what Matt reminds me of and that seems when you mentioned this he's a rare Survivor fan that gets cast on the show he reminds me of Jericho because we forget that Jericho was a massive fan of Australian Survivor before he played and I remember when his brother I think it was his brother came to on the family visit and he was reunited with him they both freaked out about the fact that they were on Survivor and obviously Jericho's got the
1:24:18 Filipino background I've got some Filipino friends myself as well they're all really into Survivor over in the Philippines because the show was filmed there a few years ago there was full name more than once and I find that there's a lot of Filipino fans that watch even this channel when I look at the statistics of where people watch this so but yeah it was great to see Matt get this far and he reminds me of Jericho in some ways cdxx Matt's villain phase last episode was fun to watch him taking Nina's name and calling it vigilante that was so pity but I still loved it jacinta match you take Simon and Jerry to the finale he could be both I think so yeah I think you're right harukawa says off topic but I think it'd be funny to have a season like the US Russell versus Boston Rob with George versus Simon or maybe even Stevie versus Shawnee I think George was a Simon would be unfair to the team that has Simon I would love to see it but I mean listen so I've been actually what probably would happen in that season decide that would be the season that Simon wins because people everybody would be like oh you know Simon you're so lovable we just wanted to play the game with you and you know in your season when everything was going wrong we were all you know hoping you would do really well and then George should
1:25:38 Have this massive Target on his back where people are just like we're not going to work with him they vote him out early and then Simon goes on and does a Boston Rob and wins the show I think that's how it would play out Lachlan said yeah he has Jericho Vibes definitely even the same kind of bull day Gabe Matt Too Short a wind needs to take jury and Simon not just taking George to the final three ah CDX Filipino there you go I'd listen I know you guys love Survivor lachlan's land that was too funny all right well there we have it that is the total power ranking here it went a lot longer than what I thought it would but it's because you guys have been so active in the chat and I wanted to make sure that I got to all of your comments as well I appreciate everybody for being here as I did this one it was a bit of a trial run of doing a live on my own if you like this type of content and you're like this one-on-one lives like this maybe we'll do some more topics in the future as well because I really enjoyed it because when I have other people on the show like Mucky and Kahuna we always bring the comments on and we talk about it but a lot of the times you're also giving a lot of your attention to the people you're talking to in those podcasts so you can't read every single comment and I think I read every single comment tonight so we did a pretty good job here Channel mud welcome
