Simon & Social Media abuse: Survivor AU

0:00 Before I say hello to the people here in the life I can see there's a few people already talking to us there I do also want to go into a little bit of the abuse that has been coming Simon's way now I don't know if you guys can see this I might have to make it a little bit bigger Simon came up and Twitter and said Twitter hasn't exactly been Disneyland for me this week but geez let's put a smile on my face this morning appreciate a bit of positivity and then just shared a tweet of Philly chilly Philly from his first season that sort of mentioned that he was one of the first people to reach out to him after the show so clearly Simon having a very tough go at it so far this season Mucky warranted or unwarranted at this stage like it's really hard because social media in general is a platform where people can hide behind and just say whatever they want you know and it's hard because especially Simon you know he's going to like Toe to Toe against one of like the biggest band favorites since Luke in my personal opinion and George so I do think there's some Die Hard fans up there who really just don't care and don't say whatever they want to Simon I don't think it's okay you know like I actually even bridged up to Simon going mate I probably know you're probably going to be getting some Flack at the moment but just one second sorry for my co-host Chris ripping into you every top five take I've got okay

1:22 Chris sucks but I'm really here for you yeah he's going to be team monkey for life now you chose him as well in your team so you have you don't have a choice you have to bake them see Mucky is loyal Mucky is about mateship he picked him at the start he's backing him all the way Sam would have loved Mucky out there he would have had Mucky and his Metroid boy Alliance exactly you know the good on mince and cheese pie right here you know like yeah it's really like quite bad the amount of abuse Australian survival players here I think it's like the only franchise of Survivor that you know to this level I would agree or like just the greatest abuse it's really horrible like I mean I'll never forget the abuse Sam got last season it that nearly broke me from covering That season I just I just couldn't understand why people took that move that personally that she did that season but you know Simon I don't know if you still listen to this Channel or not because maybe he's a bit peed off with some of the things I don't think I've been too hard on it I've been criticizing his game not the person behind it I will say this and Anthony here welcome to the live says oh hey I'm on the screen as well Anthony commented saying back in Brisbane I briefly worked with a nurse who did a bodybuilding comp with you she only had great things to say about you forever stand off you King now I think the thing is I wanted

2:42 To point out as well Simon has reached out to me twice didn't have to you know always been very friendly to me he's a great supporter of fans and things like that so Simon if you do ever hear this I hope you understand that when I'm criticizing or commenting you know it is just based on the game that we've seen and obviously we don't know everything we're not out there we can't see everything but I mean we wouldn't have a show if we didn't kind of criticize the moves we did see you know so we do need to go into that so it's nothing personal and having that out of the way we can now freely rip into Simon for the rest of this podcast look from all accounts every everything I've heard is that he is an absolutely top bloke in real life anyone that's been on the cast with him in this first season they swear by him being a really nice genuine dude I think the edit is having a lot of fun with him this season making maybe look worse than he is and also making him look like a [ __ ] like stupid sometimes it's just funny the way they're doing it I don't necessarily know if it's him but yeah he I'm the same as you by all accounts are top bloke I can call out his gameplay though and what it looks like to us as the home viewer as well I do think that some fans out there forget that there's people and at

4:02 The end of this they're not just characters you know written for scripts on TV that they're genuine actual people it's which why I mostly stay like I don't go on Twitter much at all and I kind of avoid it I see what comes through on Facebook in a bit of Reddit and stuff like that but Twitter's the scary part I think so it isn't that so it is the muck pit sorry listen I'm out there I'm out there in the trenches for you guys I'm doing it for you guys that's why I'm in the Twitter world you know because I know Mucky is not too active there either but listen on Twitter Mucky do you want more followers for Twitter do we need to start like I feel like we need to start putting out your Twitter so people can start adding you for please go start adding Mucky for his horrible fix this season what he did his fantasy team now listen it's not it's not as bad I think you get kind of what you what you give and sometimes you just got to ignore the bet you know you get the good and the bad on there but
