Survivor 44: Who's Winning It All? Power Rankings

0:01 Foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] welcome back to the nullify Tech channel here on YouTube where I've got the TNT takes for you on Survivor 44.

0:59 That's right we're back for one more time before the finale to talk about all of the players that are currently left in the game and I'm going to be doing my final power ranking here of the season I don't know how many people we're gonna get into the live here tonight because it is at a different time slot from when we normally do it at 6 p.m I had to move it a little bit but yeah this one's not as funky Chris I know so Chris here in the life Welcome to the live saying this hotel isn't as good on the backdrops a little bit more mundane but as I'm moving around over the next couple of months you're going to see my backdrop change all the time sometimes it'll be interesting sometimes it won't be I sadly don't have as much control over it Kristen says hello Christian how are you doing I hope everything's going well on your end so yeah so yesterday I traveled from Orlando to Tampa and my train was about two and a half hours late getting on the train coming to Tampa and I didn't really plan the day out as well as I could have so I got a bit dehydrated I think by the end of the day I was just having a massive headache so I couldn't jump on so we had to move the live from the time that we would normally do it and I think this is a little bit early for Kahuna still but you know everything's going well on this side Georgette welcome back to

2:20 The live as well so I thought I'd better jump on and do this before the episode dropped tomorrow so that we can get our thoughts out there I'm gonna have you the live audience help me with the power rankings here tonight it's going to be between us to decide where we want to put everybody I did also do I think a bit of a poll today on the channel and I asked who do you think is going to win the season and so far we've had within three hours 109 of you have responded with a vote which is really cool we'll check that at the end of this live as well just in case somebody does go in there and place their vote a little bit late like Chris who's been at work the whole day I'm not too sure Chris if you saw that poll but I asked who do we think is going to win and we had options between Carol and yam Carson and then sadly YouTube only allows me to put four different options and so I can't do five so I had to put Lauren and Heidi as a combined option because in my opinion Lauren and Heidi is the lowest chance and in the votes they've got six percent Carson is only sitting at 12 and then yam sitting at 36 percent more Carolyn it's nearly got half of the votes at this point at 46 everybody is very high on Carolyn's game at this stage so which is really cool to see Krista says life finally party for

3:40 You at yours sadly not sadly not I didn't my trip to come here to the U.S wasn't actually based on Survival alone so I was actually traveling and I'm meeting up with a friend of mine who is also flying into Tempo and we're going to go on a cruise pretty soon so it was a pre-planned trip for different reasons not for Survivor but I do want to make sure Christian that when Survivor 46 hits I'd love to go to a win like a Bryson win presents live event so if everybody you know let's try and plan this as far ahead of time as we can so if anybody that can afford to go there wants to go there maybe we a few of us go and go to like a live Wendell and Bryce Azalea presents party because I think 46 could be a good season it may be an All-Star season so one of the off-season topics I actually want to do on this channel with kuna and whoever else is cast who we think should be on that season so we're probably gonna have to do that live very soon like because I've Got a Feeling within the next couple of weeks we're going to find out who the cast is if it's an All-Stars cast I don't think it's going to stay secret for very long Chris says I saw it but you know who I voted for yeah I know you voted for you and I both I also had my one vote in on Carrollton Scott

5:00 Welcome Back to Life said Supreme surprisingly I'm here live again I'm still new to your show but I really appreciate your takes on the game I appreciate it Scott I really appreciate you coming back you know at the end of the day we're just you know I'm just a Fed like one of you and one of the things for me is that I don't think I know at all but with the life audience we kind of figure it out together we figure out what's going on in the show we talk about it's it's one of the things about me Scott you wouldn't know that there's probably quite a few people who won't know that who might be quite new to the channel is that for years and years I was this big Survivor fan Amazing Race fan and more so recently I got into the challenge Seasons as well within the last three years but I used to be like the closet Survivor fan that never spoke about it I didn't have friends who really watched the show I couldn't like engage or talk to them about why Tony blockers is the goat you know I couldn't have that conversation because they're like who's Tony blockles you know and I created this channel because I wanted to interact and talk to other fans and now I've you know met so many fans online I've met the likes of Drew Chantal so many other great like Russell muscle Flynn Masters so many great you know other YouTubers that I can talk to as well that I feel like I'm a part of the clan now so yeah I'm so happy I did it you know a couple years ago when the pandemic and everything happened I had more time so that's when I sort of got into it Gabe

6:21 Says we know Lauren and Heidi aren't ain't winning all right Richard all the way from South Africa Richard welcome to the live I didn't think you were going to be awake still at this time you know if you want to you can jump in and do the Power Rankings with me if you want to do it you just let me know and I'll send you the link we'll definitely have Richard on the live in the future if you can't do this because it's a bit unplanned and in the middle of the night over there but Richard is my co-host for Survivor South Africa at this stage no new news on survivors of Africa so I don't know when that's coming back Chris is saying the Survivor specialist and a TNT team up I'll try and make it happen I'll reach out to the Survivor specialist I've never actually spoken to them directly but I love doing collaborations with other YouTube content creators that's why we're going to have the Survivor Scholars on with us to talk about the finale episode this week I'm afraid of us All-Star season because Jeff wanted to have edge of Extinction yeah I'm not a fan of age of Extinction but hopefully we do get an All-Star season though yeah if that is the only way we get an All-Star season I'll probably stomach it you know he's kind of he's gotten me to that point now where we really need to see an All-Star season I'm really missing All-Star season Seasons it's what been Five Seasons after 45.

7:37 It's a long it's a long stint and there's so many great players especially from that mid-30s onwards that we haven't seen come back yet but I want to see play the game hey cash wash welcome back to the live stream but just in time we haven't actually even got it into any of the power rankings but we're going to be doing that now and I'm going to be bringing up the power rankings as it stood coming into this week we had our three different categories like always we had Soul Survivor for those who we think have got the best shot at winning we had our spy Shack which could go either way could be a winning game could maybe not be a winning game and then on the edge and I'm very happy to say that at least we got on the edge right again on this one because we were we were completely wrong with Franny was the only one that was in spy Shack when she was eliminated from the game because I really thought that she had a chance and she was kind of sniped out of the game when she was voted out but Jamie does end up getting voted out this week she is now no longer a part of the power rankings kind of interested to know what do all of you here in the live think of Everybody in the spot like of Jamie of Jamie's game did you like Jamie's game this season would you like to see more of Jamie's game in the future for me personally

8:58 I feel like Jamie was a fun character but she may be forgotten which is sad to say but I really did enjoy her bubbly positive personality I think she was a bigger threat than what we as an audience realized because of the fact like I spoke about it on the Survivor Buffs I was a guest on there with coach Drew and M on the weekend and I spoke about the fact that you know I think she really was good socially with her tribe so I really enjoyed it I wouldn't be angry to see her come back but I can also see her being a forgotten character of this new era of Survivor it just depends on who she's gonna go up against when they start and this is what we're gonna have to think about with myself and Kahuna or Jake or whoever is going to be a part of that if we do a casting of returnees for All-Stars we're gonna have to think about it a little bit let's have a look who else is commenting here we've got Russell muscle TV and the live Russell welcome to the live stream I just saw your video on Russell Hans so for everybody after this live if you haven't seen Russell muscles newest video on why Russell hans's stocks plummeted the quick rise and fall of them Russell just did a mini documentary on it so go check that out I thought it was really good Chris is agreeing yes Chris is a

10:18 Big Russell a big Carolyn fan Jared welcome back to the live as well happy to see the best Russell out there Chris is saying that Jamie was cute and fun but I wouldn't say she was a major player no she wasn't she wasn't a major player especially not in accordance to the edit in any case I'd be interested to know from people after the season would they have voted for her if she did get to the end because it did look like she had some relationships we didn't get to see on the show like her and Kane were really close apparently Russell muscles saying I felt bad for the aided to receive fun character though could tell the players loved her strong social game that's exactly what I'm thinking Russell I think his social game was a lot better and the way I sort of saw it was when they did that yoga Pilates out on the beach like you wouldn't do that with people that you don't like everybody was engaged no one was making fun of her like they would have made fun of coach back in the day when he was doing his Dragon Qi out there so I really feel like they liked her and respected her Jared's saying I liked how Jamie was kind of trolled by the show but she was a lovely person very happy and sincere yeah Richard's saying Jamie seemed a bit out of touch with things and I think that's an important skill to have awareness yeah well the idle thing you can forgive her for right I'm not too harsh on her on the idol

11:38 You know bad on Matthew but I also really enjoyed it good play by him it's got to say my heart wants Carol into him but my head says she'll be up before the final three yep yeah I'm a little bit worried I'm a little bit worried Scott and we'll talk about that Gap saying Jamie was hilariously fun like I said her upside was Simon yeah definitely that Simon type of character for those who don't know Simon me from this latest season of Australian survivorous vs villains was a fun character as well I don't want to give too much away but you know hopefully some of you do graduate over to the international show because it's got some fun characters everyone is a fool if they don't find to see find to see me as a valuable resource player yeah true that was her comment she was yeah a little bit yeah a little bit full of her own ability but you know don't you just want to bottle that self-confidence that Jamie has in life because you know like most of the times where our own worst critics of life like we are the ones that prevent ourselves from you know trying out for a job win or qualified for or you know moving from one country to another country or just taking risks in life and she seems like such a go-getter because she's got so much self-belief so I do respect that about Jamie actually all right let's move into the bottom person here on the power rankings and it

12:58 Is going to be Lauren from the last couple of weeks she's kind of been sitting at the bottom and I'm really interested to know from the live audience here do you believe that there is enough in Lauren's game at this point to put her above Heidi or would you keep her below Heidi in this ranking if we had to look at her you know for me Lauren's interesting player because we keep forgetting that she's gotten to this point in the game without having received a single vote in the game which is pretty impressive right like she's going into the end game she could potentially go into a final three and have the case where she could say listen no one ever voted for me I got through the game with my social skills people always felt like I was an option A number that they could work with and that was because of my social game getting me there plus I've won two individual immunities and who knows she may want another one or two in the end game so she's proven herself in some ways I feel like we forget about the fact that she hasn't had that vote just from an edit standpoint I don't see Lauren having a better chance than Heidi yet like it's so it's this conundrum that I struggle with when I think about Lauren's game and I compare it to Heidi but I am very happy that someone with her game have gotten herself into the final five at this stage which is pretty impressive Chris

14:19 Is saying I think Lord stays below Heidi Lauren has done well in challenges but hasn't shown enough social awareness of how votes are going yes so the one thing that we can falter on is the fact that she's continued to believe and Carson and that Carson was and yeah because I see gaming as Carson's lieutenant in the game and wherever Carson goes yam has followed in the game so far but you know she's always believed that Carson would vote with her and he's portrayed her many a times now and he's his letter astray and she still has kind of blindly stayed loyal to that which is you know something that I think that they like both Carson and yam can have over her by the end of this game if they go up against each other in the final three Russell says I think Lawrence above Heidi in terms of power ranking stocks but if I was guessing Buddha or I'm thinking Heidi makes it further interesting yeah Gabe says sorry Lauren not enough at all we have is a personal backstory we've got another for gameplay even Erica has that yeah Kristen says the final five for minute challenge is the same one from game changers and wolves apart Final Four I can't remember that far back Christian you're gonna have to you're gonna have to let me know I've watched too many reality TV shows in the last couple of years I can't remember the exact challenge but you have to let me know what it's

15:39 Going to be like what is it favor does it favor stamina does it favor endurance you know there's a favor puzzles what like who do you think Christian is going to be the standout person for the final five amenity in that case but I think there's enough of us here that are sort of in agreement Russell muscly might be upvoted here because I'm leaning towards keeping her below Heidi as well I do feel like edit wise Heidi's had we've seen more of Heidi's strategic thinking even though she hasn't always been right and she hasn't always gotten it right in the game we've kind of seen that a little bit the one thing that could count against Heidi though is the fact that she's played an idol and if the jury's very results focused they would say ah she played an idol when no votes were coming her way Joe is saying if Heidi Lauren and want to go in the final three unless Tikka completely botches the final tribal I don't see Heidi or Laura money I agree so there are definitely number five and number four at this stage in the game for me and just by virtue of that alone the way that we've been doing the power rankings this whole season is that spyshack means you could either win or you could still lose on the edge means you've got no shot so do we want to be brave and put Heidi with Lauren on the edge I

16:59 Think so I don't I'm going to make a very bold call here and I'd be happy to be wrong because let's be honest it's happened very frequently in the new era of Survivor where we've gotten it wrong but I don't think Heidi or Lawrence winning the season I really feel like this has been the Tikka threes season and unless it's the final two which we know it isn't I do think one of our winners is sitting at the Tikka 3 at this stage I'm pretty confident about it Christian's saying it's a puzzle Tower bold interesting Heidi gameplay we know more of yeah exactly that's what I'm that's what I'm thinking I still think she's above Lauren at this stage just from a storytelling edit perspective at least Richard's saying Heidi stays in spy Shack all right what do you guys think should I keep her in spice check or do I do I put her down on the edge with Lauren like she's got almost no shot in this at this at the moment like let me know in the in the comments where do you guys want to see Heidi do you think we should leave her in spy Shack Like Richard we've got one for spy Shack I've gone and I've been brutal and put on the edge with Lauren saying they've got no chance cash wants to saying I'm conflicted but last episode made me want to put Heidi further down on the ranks to On The Edge yeah so

18:19 We've got two sorry Richard you're getting I voted here mate Jared's with me cash watch with me saying be bold let's put on the edge very critical I know Chris says I would be shocked if Heidi and Lauren went over atika yeah exactly I just can't see it like just storytelling wise this has burntica season from beginning to end we've been on their Journey with them that I'd be shocked I really feel like it's between the three and this is where it's going to get tough because we need to talk about the tika 3 next we need to look at who in the tika 3 deserves to have that top spot okay georgette's coming in showing kindness Georgette saying hotties in the Spy Shack a little bit of a little bit of kindness there which is always good to see so we've got Richard and Georgette saying that definitely there and then I feel like the rest of us have all been very brutal I'm sorry Richard and Georgette but we've been brutal here and have put on the edge but the one thing I will say though that both Richard and Georgette you guys have got bragging rights if one of those two win you've got bragging rights because we would have gotten it completely wrong here on the parakeets but I do want to get into the top three I do want to start looking at them and we're going to start with the person that we had in third place last week which was Carolyn and I've got this

19:39 Belief and I don't know how you feel and the life here about this I've got this belief that this last week could have been the week to take out Carolyn you know we had we were told this whole story by yam in regards to why he was going to take Carolyn out it says hate gun versus his heart as he knows that he needs to get rid of Carolyn because she could win against them at the end but his heart struggles to do that to a friend out there someone that he's bonded with and he spoke about the fact that you know 26 days in it's so much harder than going out there in the beginning and not knowing these people but I really felt like this could have been the moment for Yan yam to do it and for them to take out Carolyn So based on that alone I feel like Carolyn's got a very good shot at winning this game and it applies I feel very disappointed in yam's game for not taking that shot so I kind of feel like I want to put Carolyn at number two and drop yam for a spot and we'll talk about Carson's game versus Carolyn's game in a second but at this stage we're looking at Carolyn and yamyam where do you guys feel do you feel like Carolyn has jumped ahead of yam now because he's shown kindness out there a game where you should be lying cheating backstabbing and stealing to get to the end you've got to

20:59 Take out your competition or do you think that just showed us that he's willing to do it and he's probably gonna do it this episode because we know it can go either way but I really feel fearful for yamyam's game at this stage because he didn't take that move let's have a look at what people are saying let's say age because Heidi needed to pull a move at six now she's gotten a shot agree with you 100 there Gabe Jared saying only way Lauren or Heidi Wentz is all ticker medically evacuated yeah it's a little bit too far so you're saying that they have to play extra dirty start taking out the competition play the player you know not the game Christian Dell saying 100 Scott's saying Heidi's got a shot but just barely yeah it's going to be tough for her against those three at the end I really do think that rich is saying I think Carson only wants her out at five because if Carolyn goes at six the three outside of his Tika three could team up to get him and jam out so I think he sees it easier to do that than the final five Carson's strategic mind has been hidden from us a lot in the edit I believe I do think Carson is playing a top tier game out there and I've been saying it this whole season because he's been riding the middle he was the biggest reason why rutu wanted to work with Tikka because he had that relationship plus out of nowhere he suddenly became

22:21 Brochachos with Danny and Danny wanted to work with him in the game so clearly Carson has played a very top tier game and that's from an edit perspective it makes me wonder if Carson gets to the end because we haven't seen it we haven't seen him verbalize all of this the only thing we see in this previous episode is Carson and yammy I'm talking about potentially taking out Carolyn and yamya really wants to do it and then Carson's like no we probably shouldn't right now so you but we didn't really get to see us thinking behind why he doesn't want to do it we didn't see who he thinks is a threat we only saw yam saying that Carolyn is his biggest threat and then Carolyn saying that Carson is a big threat but we never really saw him willing to turn his back on either of them and I think it's because he feels comfortable that he could beat both of them at the end I really do think that Jared saying yummy I'm taking out Carolyn was his biggest move for Carson it's not Carolyn wins over yam Carson right now wins yeah it's kind of how I see it you're in my mind Jared it's freaky I don't know how we're thinking the same Chris is like saying Carolyn F1 but fine put her at second the people love an underdog Carolyn over yamyam it's kind of where I'm leaning to as well with I'm kind of an agreement here with you in the live Georgia's saying if they voted out Carolyn it would be curtains for yamati Yamamoto and Carson

23:41 Gadget doesn't keep Carolyn guarantee a ticket final three now they can eat each other at the last one standing wins yep it could happen a good move for her I would have cried myself to sleep yeah well Heidi would have probably done the Marianne taking out Omar right it would have been a game-winning move potentially gave saying taking out Carolyn at six the other two gets targeted by the three nanticus and then Christian says I'm wondering who in the jury are going to vote for the right winner yeah it's always a interesting one and we'll talk about potential jury votes in a second I think we can we could sort of go through that a little bit as well but yeah looking at it for me at this point I'm in agreement with everybody here in the life I do think that Carolyn's surviving and yam not taking the shot against the bumps him down in the rankings for me to third at this point and this thing about yamyam's edit from the beginning of the season I've said it like they always give us his perspective you know when yamyam gets betrayed we need to feel bad for him because Carolyn voted out Sarah you know or he's on the outside of the numbers he's the underdog the story's always been about him being the underdog and we always get his perspective

25:02 When he feels wronged so I do think he still has a very big shot at winning so I'll keep him in Seoul Survivor I do think one of these three wins at the end but I don't think yamyam can beat Carolyn or Carson at this stage in the game and I've kind of seen a few people who are in the live talk about Carson's game and let's talk about Carson's game let's compare Carson's game to Carolyn's game at this point but I'm going to read a few more the comments here because I can see you guys starting to come in here with the comments let's have a look crocheting this season reminds me of cook Island the small outnumbered Alliance makes it all the way to the end together yeah cook Island Samoa same thing with the follow4 it happens from time to time right wasn't David versus Goliath almost the same was like an underdog type of situation with the Davids being outnumbered so you can never be guaranteed that the big Alliance is gonna win the game out right in fact if you're ever playing Survivor and you're out there and you've got numbers going into the merch you should feel fearful because I feel like those big alliances they don't get to take out the people sometimes that they don't get along with prior to the merge and they try and make up for lost time and

26:22 Then they start gutting for each other like Josh was a great example I think it was such a dumb move by Soca to vote Josh out at the merge just didn't make any sense he wanted to play with Soca I just couldn't get it I still think it was a really bad move on everybody that was involved in it and it's probably where the momentum started shifting away from them they worked so hard to have the numbers going into the merge and they voted this guy out just because they thought he was shady but he never did anything shady to them Scott's saying yes for Helen's game should have taken Carolyn out but I hope after his game yum should have taken Carolyn out but I hope his heart can do it if so she wins I hope yeah I agree gab says that it wants us to like Eminem 100 and you've got to ask yourself that question Gabe why does the edit once us to why do they want us because I mean yamya would have been a likable character without the edit pushing him on us as much as it is you know but you're gonna ask why are they pushing him so much on us as an audience like that's why my Spidey senses have been going off around yam this whole season and I just want to point it out there that you know in the draft I picked the am as the very first pick in the draft from the start and if he does win the season it's going to be absolutely crazy because

27:42 The conspiracy theorists will come in be like oh Chris must have known something but I knew nothing and it would be the first time since we've done the draft I think in eight seasons now for survivors of Africa Australian Survivor and us that we potentially could have a first pick win and we've got Kahuna with Carson as this first pick so if Carson wins it could be the same it could be a first pick win which would be crazy Cody welcome to life says hi Chris finally made it to a live love your takes thanks so much Cody I really appreciate that I just said earlier you know one of the things I really love doing here on the channel is talking to the live audience and tonight I'm on my own no Kahuna he's still sleeping over in Australia it's still pretty early over there but it gives us more time to just talk one-on-one as we do this final rankings here for the season Jared saying Carson wins because he has built trust with everyone Jamie and Lauren voted with Tika against Dany because they trusted him he had more impact on the most of the jury than yamim or Carolyn I agree and I'm happy Jared that you're seeing this because I feel like talking to other people even some other content creators I really feel like they're missing the whole point around Carson and they're they're only following what the editor showing us

29:03 About Carson which is they're kind of masking some of his strategic gameplay I feel like from us like we never really got to see how he forged that relationship with Dany how he suddenly had Brendan so close to him after Matthew left and you know why he didn't want to go ahead with Kane there was a lot of us thinking we didn't get to see him we know he's good at articulating his thoughts because they do give us some good casts and confessionals but why don't we see that and I feel like it's my personal belief I'll put Carson at the top because I think he's the person to beat but my personal belief is that he's going to get sniped and if yam is smart he Snipes out both Carolyn and Carson before he gets to the end we could be completely wrong all of us could be completely wrong he goes with both Carson and Carolyn to the end still wins or he beats Carolyn because no one respects Carolyn's game which to me would be the worst like if Carolyn gets to the end and she does doesn't get the respect she deserves because people see it as this emotional player as someone that didn't always make a lot of sense out there and they can't see behind the gameplay that she's had this season I would be begotted for her if it goes down that way Richard says social or physical cast and wins Carolyn looks better strategically because of the shock Factor given her personality but overall I say Carson I agree I do think Carson Remains the person to take out here in the

30:23 End game before we get into the end game now I want to know from you as a live audience because we've pretty much done we're done and dusted here with the rankings we've got the rankings in lock we've got Lauren in fifth place Heidi and fourth place they're both on the edge we don't believe they've got a shot at possibly winning this game which I know is Rich of us to say because players have gotten to the end and have proven us wrong and have won this game from nowhere certainly if we look at Erica's edit the way that they showed her game in the first season of this new era I do think that you know both Heidi and Lauren could still win and it shouldn't be a shock but the tika 3 is it's been their story this season right it's just really been their story I do want to know from you in the live audience for this season to end well who should like I've obviously got my bias opinions and I'm sure all of you are going to probably think down the same line as I am but who do you think makes this season the best possible season at the end like if we had a certain person win this season I asked this question and well I didn't ask who would be the best one but I said finale week who do you have winning and 46 let me just refresh that to see if anybody else went to go vote while the live is on yeah there's actually been quite a few we've got 123 votes

31:43 Now so we've gone up quite a bit Carolyn's sitting at 44 yammy I'm sitting at 35 Carson is sitting at 15 and then Lauren and Heidi are sitting at seven percent who do you think wins at the end and makes this a top tier season for you and does the winner of a season dictate for you as an audience member if the season is good or not like if we had an underwhelming winner this season you know we got and no disrespect to Heidi or Lauren but we get someone winning this season we didn't expect to win it does it change in your mind where the season sits let's have a look here at some of the comments that are coming in Cody is saying I believe all three makes it to the final tribal or Carson takes out the other two I hope it does I really do hope Carson is awake enough because he seems to be the most loyal out of the three of them and he seems to think that if he goes to the end and sits next to them he could still win the game he backs his game that much so I'm a little bit worried for him because we've not seen his thoughts on who is his biggest threat we've seen Carolyn say she can't sit next to Carson we've seen yum so he can't sit next to Carolyn so that makes me fearful of him that he's not he doesn't seem to be aware of that or he feels very comfortable in that Alliance

33:03 Gab is saying I think Carson is doomed at fire all those fire references got to make it right he loses at fire and that firecont 3D printer fire yeah true card three print the fire oh man he should have practiced in his backyard like surely you can do that Chris is saying I'm so biased but I think Carolyn has the best story that underestimated her thought she was too goofy to be a serious threat but she had excellent reads and work for this and Chris you know we may not always agree on the challenge we have our different favorites and takes on that but you know we've been you know seeing things the same way this season here look at us so Survivor 44 we've been shouting for the same people which is great you know and I do agree I think Carolyn wins this season and for me this becomes a top tier season it automatically becomes my favorite season of the new era because of the story of Carolyn and also she stands out to me because of the fact that I misjudged her just like I misjudged Mike Turner as well and some other players when they came on I like being the person that's wrong about people like they stand out to me the most those are the characters that stand out to me when they come on and they remind me don't judge a book by its cover Cody's saying Fire's Not a Bad Thing fire represents

34:24 Life well in this case it could represent the end of Carson's game let's hope not Cody Richardson Carson should win by a Carolyn winning just so fun and refreshing 100 it'd be great to have like a character winner you know come out we get very few of them Jared thank you so much for the five dollars I really appreciate that like I've always said any donations that anybody feels like they want to give I really appreciate it's never needed but it goes straight back into the channel as we want to continue to grow this channel with you the live audience as well and I'm really excited about some of the things that are going to come up in the next couple of months because we've got new shows coming out that we're going to be covering on the show so you know we've got million dollar Island Australia which Kahuna is going to be doing traitors season two for Australia it's probably going to be the first season I'll cover but I'll also look at Traders in the US and I'm also thinking about doing the mole when that comes out so we want to continue to add more shows here and obviously this goes towards that so I really appreciate that from you there Jared sorry I didn't even read your question some other Survivor content creators are shocking me with their basic lack of what was shown I'm glad here at TNT we're willing to think critically listen I'm I take that as a massive compliment because I not

35:44 That long ago two years ago I was just a fan listening to other content creators right so obviously you try and come on to this onto the scene you try and create your own channel you try and do something different you try and think differently about the show I think one of the things that's helped me a lot Jared I don't think I can take all the credit for it I do think that my thinking of Survivor has evolved a lot over the last probably two years since I've started doing this because of the fact that I've been fortunate enough to talk to many Survivor players I've had many Survivor South Africans on the show I've had Australian survivors that I've spoken to I've now also gotten the opportunity to speak to some Survivor us player so if you go back to some of the earlier Recaps I did this season you would see Omar Mike Turner who am I forget forgetting there's been a few players that came on earlier this season which was great it was great to get their perspective and I think when you get previous players on the show and you get to talk to them you start realizing that you only know so much you only know a little bit but there's so much the show doesn't show you and sometimes you've got to read like The subtleties like the body language or things that is shown in a scene that potentially could give you like a different vibe so I try my best and I take that as a massive compliment that you think that way Gabe

37:04 Says any Tikka winning would be satisfying the other two I'd be scratching my head and confused I agree Scott's saying my hope is there Carson's edit shows them for a return but Carolyn wins and Carolyn winning would be like Bittersweet to me because I've always been the person that believes that if you win you shouldn't be coming back on a season that doesn't have at least the tribe of winners so I don't really want to see like America like I love Marianne she's a great character as well but Marianne coming back would feel like a waste to me when she comes back with non-winners because I feel like people will just take it out early maybe she does get to the merch I don't know but I just always feel like bringing a winner back in a non-winner versus runner-up type of season or winners at ball type of season is such a waste you know and I want to keep them high in my mind so if Carolyn does win I'd be very happy but that means we won't see her back so I don't know maybe I don't want her to win so I can see her come back Chris saying I'm so proud of us finally finding one person we can root for together yeah it's I don't know how many shows has it been Chris it's been must be like six or seven shows but we finally found that one person that we can now agree on Christian is saying I'm curious who wins the final four immunity challenge because usually it's the dexterity challenge it's a good question and there's this whole thinking out there right now that people have that Carson could win that final immunity

38:26 And then make fire against someone because he feels like he needs to take them out to win and then potentially lose the fire challenge against that person who then ultimately wins so I don't know Carson probably does have a chance but I feel like if I was them if we had to put ourselves in the issues right now out there we're all in agreement Carson's the biggest target he's ranked number one they should be taking Carson out next and I feel like yemien will do it if the opportunity is there because he's guaranteed making fire in the next spot so the risk is really low if you're there right now you've got to think not a lion's wise you've got to think who do I have the best shot at winning against at the end and Carson's not the guy it's not the guy you want to sit next to in the final so I feel like Carson in my opinion even though we've ranked them number one it's because they should take him out right I think that he does get taken out and I think that you probably end up with the likes of a Carolyn a yam a Heidi and a Lauren in the final four and in that case Lawrence the person who's proven herself so far as someone that can win immunity so my money would have to be a Lauren to win final immunity at least if she

39:46 Gets there I think she can she can win it and I do think she's got a little bit of a case Scott says regardless of who wins this is the best season of the new era yeah I've really Scott I've really enjoyed this season I think it's been a really good season strong characters good alliances they also kind of backed away a little bit with the twists towards the end of the season I'd like for them to have more of the season with less twists and especially I feel like the balances off right now in survive I've said it a few times where they do all these twists in the beginning which means it takes away from us getting to know the place which hopefully next season being 90 minutes we will still get to know the players even with twists in the game and hopefully the extra time that they've got they don't just put it into more twists right so we can actually get to know the players and see them play in the beginning so when they get to the merch we already have our people you know getting into the merch there were a lot of people from ratu and Soca I didn't feel like I knew which is again why heavily for me my focus is on Tikka towards the end as a potential having one of the potential winners I would also love a Carolyn Wynn yes join the train Cody join the join the clan the Carolyn Clan gabrasing I believe it's between Carolyn or yam either would be fun winner for the season I agree if Carson wins immunity puts himself on

41:06 Fire loses will be the dumbest blunder of all time yeah I don't know if he's that dumb that's the thing that's why that's why I'm finding that theory hard to believe I just don't see it because I don't feel like he needs to put himself on fire I feel like he's played the kind of game where he could sit next to anyone Jared's saying yes this is the best season of the new era yeah I love it jiu jitsu's could Carolyn pull out a final immunity one it's I mean anyone could pull it out right it's just we haven't seen carrot like that if there's one weakness to Carolyn's game right now let's be honest it is the fact that she has not one immunity yet that is that is the one weakness to her game we had a very great player play Australian Survivor you know recently that strategically was really good socially was really good but they couldn't do well at immunity challenges or challenges as a whole and because of that they're not the complete package yet because I know some people don't value you know different challenge wins as much as they do strategic play but I always value a balanced player I like a player that can do a little bit of everything for you to be great Jared says I really don't like how meta fire making has become apparently anyone who wanted to win had to be Jesse last season that's kind of what everyone expected not a fan of that honestly

42:27 Yeah I agree with you I'm not a I'm not a fan of the fire making as a whole I've never been a fan of it Jeff's explanation about bringing it in so that bigger players can make it deeper into the game or have a shot at winning I don't think it holds true because similar to how they figured out similar to how they figured out when they needed to bring all their gear to the tribal council because they were going to go to a new beach people have figured out after the first couple of Seasons they just need to take the threats out a couple of rounds earlier so I don't think the fire making challenge for me is needed I've never been a fan of it we don't have fire making in international we don't have it in Australian Survivor we don't have it in Survivor South Africa and to be honest I don't miss it I prefer what the international franchises are doing with the show much more and I've always said I thought gabler deserved his win last season and I stand by that I still feel like gabler was a good winner last season I feel like he did more than Cassidy and I know there's a lot of Cassidy fans out there that may disagree with me and that's fine like I mean we can all have different opinions we don't have to hate on each other for thinking differently because we're all individuals we're all love and respect different things in the game my personal opinion is Gable played a better game but I didn't feel like it was fair that the final jury

43:48 Was hard on Cassidy for not doing that to me that was unfair and I don't feel like you said her game should have been judged based on that Soul move in the game because she could have gotten 99 things wrong and then just this one last move she didn't do the optimal thing in the jury's eyes which to me is just bollocks I don't believe in that Andrew saying let's do this do what we've already done the power rankings I'll bring it back up Andrew if you're late to it so if you want to see what the power rankings look like let me know Scott says listening to most of other podcasts than I have at any previous season this is the most unpredictable finale I can recall yeah so it's interesting because I've also jumped on a few other podcasters guests and stuff like that and everybody's got like their own opinion like the one I jumped on the weekend people were thinking Heidi's gonna win and I'm like how like you know so we all have our own takes and our own things that we're seeing in the game and that's what I love and that's why going into next season I want to continue to bring more podcasters onto the channel so we can continue to have that diversity and thinking out there which I think is important in the podcasting Community I love hearing other people's perspective Cody's saying do you believe Carson was telling yamyam the truth

45:08 When he said he was as number one I actually believe Carolyn is his number one I think so is well it's hard right because I do feel like he's close with both of them but the edit has always shown us whenever Carson has had to make a very difficult decision in the game he pulls yam aside and he talks to yamyam about it and a few times they've actually gone against Carolyn's wishes like for instance the for anyone comes to mind immediately so I've kind of always seen yam personally as Carson's Lieutenant I feel like he's playing a lieutenant game he's playing the Steven fish back to JT game almost but I think that Jamie m is going to take JT out in this one if that makes sense understanding question and final trouble Council will Tika 3 perhaps have the game rating discounted because they're ganked up together I say that all get a third credit for any success I think personally I think it's a difficult one but I think that in survival when you get to a final Tribal Council the differences between if people have played a very similar game in your mind and they've made a lot of the same moves in the game I think it comes down to who do you like more I really do if you're like man I could feel good about yam winning or I could feel good about Carson winning because they've made the same moves in the game and they dominated but I

46:29 Had a really close bond with Carson and the reason I bring that up is because Carson seemed to be good with both Lauren and Jamie throughout the game they wanted to work with them throughout the game he had Brandon in his pocket when Matthew left and Brandon wanted to play with him in the game Kane thought that you know there was this geek Alliance thing going on he was close to him and he had Danny in his pocket so to me I feel like Carson probably wins in that case based on the fact that I think he had the most bonds with different people we've been told that the mem's got a great social game but we've never seen have you ever seen yam have those one-on-one conversations like Carson did on the show like Carson had those conversations with Brandon he had those conversations with Lauren and Jamie he had that conversation with Danny that I can remember I don't see yam working that way we just get told by the edit he's great socially but I haven't seen it and it could be that he does have that but I do think that the social game when three people are that close at the end it's going to come down to that and I do think that I still feel like Carolyn may be underestimated which I'm sad if that doesn't it'll sadden me a little bit especially because she was out of the Franny vote people might halt that against her at the end Scott says as unlikely as it is I would love to see Carolyn win an immunity

47:49 Challenge 100 percent gab saying fire making was introduced for TVs big Jeff wants to get more liked winners I think Jeff needs to learn that you know I've learned this about Survivor personally is that your favorite does not win every season and that's okay like I mean that's what makes it so special when your favorite does win a season like for me I never in a million years thought Tony would win twice when Tony won Kagan I was like this guy is crazy he's the mad scientist of Survivor super Innovative fun character he had everything for me and he went out first and Game Changers I was heartbroken but I was like it's to be expected the guy's just a massive Target and then he came back for winners it was like this it's going to be game changers all over again they're not going to let him get close to the end so after 21 twice I was like now I can live with winners I like and don't like for me now it's more about the journey but if someone wins that is satisfying like a Carolyn winning the season it probably does push the Survivor season up in my mind like if the Survivor season has a good winner and a good conclusion I always love the season more that's why I've always liked ghost Island more than a lot of other people because I'm big on Wendell and Dom's game and I love the whole aspect that they were tired at the end and that Wendell ended up taking it out it was a good season for me Jersey and Gable played an underrated game and

49:09 Earned his win but you're right Jesse and the jury were overly hard on Cassidy for winning immunity and then decided not to give up immunity yeah it's sad Sarah welcome sorry I'm late didn't get the notification I'm here now I know Sarah sorry man I'm to blame because I changed the time from yesterday to the day so it's fine happy to have you here now I'll bring up the power rankings for you really quickly just so you can see what we've done here I had the wonderful live audience helped me in doing this power ranking but we've got Lauren and fifth Heidi and fourth they're both on the edge because we don't think that they're going to win against the Tikka 3 and because it's a final three we most likely think that one of the three winners are sitting in Soul Survivor we've got yamyam in the third Carolyn in second and Carson currently on first going into the end so that's our power rankings and I've just been talking a little bit here to the live audience we're just having a bit of a chat Scott said yes final four is utter beers yep 100 agree Gabe's saying it's not fun when the game changed to get a specific type of winner yeah why force it why force it Sarah saying also I watched Jeff Probst podcast and it sounds like he was really hyping up Lauren how do you feel about Lauren's chances of winning if that happens well I think we just spoiled it we've got it at the bottom at fifth I don't think Lauren's winning and I think that Jeff is doing it on purpose to create hype if she does what

50:29 I'm gonna be so confused like if Lauren wins I'm gonna question like even more than what I'm questioning Jeff's sanity right now I'll question his sanity and how to put a product out there that the audience will actually enjoy and I did a collaboration with Once Upon an island not that long ago where we spoke about unpopular opinions and I put mine in as an unpopular opinion even though I know a lot of people are tired of Jeff I don't think anybody wants Jeff to quit I think people probably want Jeff to pull his head in and just be the host and maybe not be as involved creatively in the show as he is currently but I kind of said like maybe it's time for him to move on because I feel like he's lost touch with the audience a lot in recent times and it hurts me to say that I do like Jeff there's still this part of me it's like you know Jeff's just someone that I used to know you know like but he's different now he's different he's not the same Jeff from back in the day I think his power's gone to his head and he's doing his own thing out there Chris saying I think the jury definitely loves Carson the most I think Franny and Matt vote for Carolyn the race could vote for Carson unless there is a great tribal performance for someone yeah I agree Ty I don't know what TY means you're gonna have to explain to me winning forever change Jeff's view on a Survivor winner and that's so damn it's so dumb like listen I wasn't I'm not gonna lie

51:50 I like Michelle I think she's a really cool Survivor character obviously she's come into the challenge world now as well and she does bring something to the challenge as well that I that I do like but I've never been higher Michelle's win either like I don't think she's like one of the best winners we've ever had I know she got to the end twice so that puts her up in a lot of people's minds and should be respected but I do think to a certain degree it's because people didn't see her as a threat to win That season because she wasn't in charge I was a big Aubry fan That season but just because of the fact that Michelle won like who cares like it's gonna happen from time to time like I hope it's not true that Michelle was the one that changed Jeff's mind on how they should force people to win the game like come on Sandy's saying Jeff seems so out of touch with the fan base his podcast proves that yeah Michelle truly a game changer for the wrong reasons say Sandy Jared welcome to the live says Jamie is likable and funny but he would not Pitch as well as Carson or Carolyn he's been very selfish mean and pity the whole season he just makes up for it with Yuma not the winner in my opinion I hope you're right because I really hope that I don't I don't personally hate on yum I think yamyam is a really fun character as well but we said this earlier in the life here Jared I don't know if you were here for it but I feel like yam's been pushed on us as someone that we should like the

53:10 Edit is constantly telling us why we should like him and I pointed it out a little bit earlier in the life you know that every time he was wronged we were always we would always see his side of why he feels wronged and why people are being mean to him so that we could get behind him as the underdog and I kind of see as someone that have watched a lot of survive over the years and a lot of reality TV competitive reality TV specifically I kind of see these little tricks that they do from an editing perspective which gets the alarm Bells going for me it's like why should we care if he's not winning you know what I mean so they need to make us feel okay with him potentially winning so I still think he's got a good shot but I really hope that you're right in that castle or Carolyn wins specifically Carolyn I've been a very big fan of Carolyn this season Chris saying Michelle is Queen for that I mean it's probably for the game changer stuff right if it comes down to a social game I think yam bitter relationships on the jury Carolyn has frankly mainly Frankie mainly I feel and Freddy sorry yeah Freddie Fannie I feel and Danny and Brandon didn't really care about her socially yeah I don't think Denny and Brennan would ever be a vote for Carolyn I think we can count that against the so it's going to come down to if the ladies the mothers that all bonded together if they would stand with Carolyn I think would be a

54:30 Big part of her potentially winning the season truly a winning really enraged Jeff if Lauren winning is true just another case of female winners disastrous edit yes Danica says sorry I'm late you change rooms yep I'm a temper it is bucketing down outside I can say that yes so I got here so we're going to be here for about a week before I head down to the Bahamas which I'm really looking forward to as well so this week we're doing a bit like you can see we this is the final Power Rankings live stream for the season and then we've got our end of the season review after the finale with the Survivor Scholars who I'm very excited to introduce to you if you if you guys haven't heard of them before they're going to be doing the finale recap of myself and Jake and then Kahuna and I will be back on Saturday evening I believe 9 p.m we're going to be doing our final challenge World Championship player review and ranking for the season which I'm really excited about and then for the next week when I'm down in the Bahamas I'm not going to be doing any content for at least that week there's going to be nothing but the week following that I'm looking at potentially doing a draft

55:50 For the Challenge USA 2 with Drew and Chantel but we still have to lock in a time for that and I do want to do some Survivor off-season content so one of those pieces that I'd like to get in maybe the week so not next week but the week after I'd love to do Survivor 46 All-Stars draft wish list like who would we like to see so stay tuned to the channel even though we're getting into even though we're getting into the off season we're going to be doing a lot of content still we're going to be doing some Survivor off-season content which I'm excited about and we're going to be doing some challenge off season content because it actually looks like we're going to have some off season for the challenge which is kind of strange we haven't had an off season in almost like a year and a half or two years now it's not saying if the tika 3 make the final three it'll be the best final travel Council ever and will come down to who makes the best presentation I think Carolyn could do it but yeah will be awesome too yep agree thank you oh yeah thank you bro okay I get it I get it I'm getting old this is the Grays are coming out of my beard you see that's why I don't get the different abbreviations here on the internet so we're saying how do you feel about the Carson fired do you think he's going to final four fire making if so do you think Heidi or Carolyn ghost games I think he goes against Heidi I personally don't believe like I actually feel like I

57:10 Personally feel like Carson should be taken out next I feel like they should vote him out next don't let him get to the final immunity challenge so I don't know it could be a red herring because we also know that yam has been shown to make fire we know Heidi has been shown to make fire so who knows I feel like the editors are playing with us but if it does play out that way it would be pretty satisfying that we all caught on to it very early on budget saying Jeff should only host not produce greed services and sadly loses a fight so I don't know I don't think he's going to go into fire but let's see if it goes down that way it would be sad to see his game go down in flames and would be another reason why we should all then be angry at the fire because the Fire cost Jesse a win it cost Devin Owen you know who else it would cost would have cost carcinogen so it's instead of creating great winners it's making great potential winners lose the game it's doing the opposite Jeff Scott says unless Lauren wins Community she's gone at five then again says I don't think yamim is the underdog at this point it's Lauren I do I do agree with you there are definitely out of the numbers now Jared's saying Jeff gets upset for Michelle winning then don't put an advantage and again that eliminates one jury member from voting yeah I hate that so Jerry I've got a real pet peeve with that I've had the opportunity to meet lerubota

58:31 Who's the producer for Survivor South Africa and I had lunch with him when I was in South Africa last time and I'm going to be going to South Africa pretty soon actually and hopefully I get to catch up with him again and get some updates on what's happening with Survivor South Africa but I actually sent it to him because they also brought that twist into Survivor South Africa and I said to him in the future can you please not eliminate a jury member because where's fans really believe that if you got that deep in the game you deserve your spot on the jury Beach you've worked for that spot on the jury Beach so I asked them listen can you just bring the nullify back bring a jury vote nullifier so how would workers you sit there the jury gets to ask all the questions get ready to vote and then Jeff says hey this person found an advantage in the gab or earned an advantage in the game by a challenge so they can now nullify one of the jury votes so it gives someone in their final Tribal Council the ability to again showcase that they understand the social dynamics in the game and who's potentially not going to vote for them so I feel like that's a more fair way of doing it if that makes sense like more like more by the jury over Carolyn I think remember Danny and Brandon moment they didn't care about Carolyn only look like Carolyn as Franny greed Jared say yep same hoping point of view is there because he takes out Carolyn or Carson but loses to the one he doesn't take out that would be cool that

59:51 Would be super cool actually Jared says the advantages are out of control just let the players outward instead of giving overpowered advantages out or everything in moderation right Jared everything in moderation instead of putting 10 things in the game I feel like Jeff looks at us fans and he's like the fans don't get it we need advantages in the game because if we didn't have it the game would be boring and I do agree with him I think people want a classic Survivor season but if they got it and there was no advantages in the game and the cast didn't deliver potentially could be a very Boris boring season so my thinking with that is that instead of completely taking advantage of that of the game just bring one or two in per season don't do like everything and especially so beginning of the season Heavy I just don't like that because it takes away from us getting to know the players then again saying I could see Carolyn getting Brandon Denny if she talks about their Bros Alliance how she's spearheaded getting them out maybe if they if they are happy to take eat Humble Pie and I don't know if they are that's the only problem Christian says survival 45 season pre-picks in late summer yeah we will definitely do the 45 draft pick but a bit closer to when the show is going to Premiere probably within a month from the show premiering we'll probably do that draft picks I think there's some cool off season topics we can we can jump into with you as the audience and maybe

1:01:11 I'll even put a couple of ideas out there on the Community page here on the nullified Tech Channel and let all of you vote for the topics you would us would like for us to talk about the most if that makes sense and I'm also open to suggestions right so if there is a topic that you would like for us to talk about in the off season that you feel like other podcasters have not done Justice or they just haven't done it at all email me at the nullified take all one word gmail.com the nullified taker gmail.com and just say hey I'm a listener off the show I love the show and we'd love for you guys to talk about XYZ you know and that way I can put it on the Whiteboard and we can talk about it because we haven't had an off season in such a long time I'm actually excited about it gab says All-Stars draft be fun but it's only 40s players I think that we probably like I probably think we what we would want to do like I'd rather do what I would hope the show does and I'd rather have it be from mid-30s till 40s because I feel like there's some players that deserve a call back from David versus Goliath and some of those Seasons around that time that haven't come back yet as the social threat and was voted at almost every vote Lauren was one of the majority of the majority and had Easter vote yeah I think she's only now I think what

1:02:31 Danica means is she's only now become the underdog Gabe's juicy would have lost four no matter what I believe at four yeah they probably would have voted him out sentences yeah jewelry removal is Harsh cerseus have you seen the subredded post making fun of the fire edit and making a joke saying the editor is really casting stating he would set the camper blaze it was called arson Carson I was laughing no I've not seen it I only go most of the time on Reddit I don't have too much time to engage too much there I post and ghost a lot of the time but I try and go back and read every now and again I'm just not on that too often Sarah saying way harder than should I have daddy guess says I'm just talking about yeah from five after yep I get you to any car I got you game says that was excellent scene coming twice Scott says if you ever get to Chicago hit me up and we'll meet up for a bill through my beard is already gray yeah mine is starting to it's just it's just getting there it might slowly but surely but I'll definitely I'll let you know if I'm ever in Chicago I do plan on a Pro won't be in Chicago this time around but I do plan on coming back to the States for Survivor 46 I want to go to one of those Bryson win presents events and like I said earlier if there's anybody else that is also really interested in one of those events then maybe that's also a place where a lot of us can meet up in the future

1:03:52 Sarah arson Carson is hilarious 100 all right I think that is it here for the live talking about the Power Rangers we did a little bit more than Power Rankings and I always love engaging with you the life audience and talking about the show I'm really excited to see what's going to happen here by the end of the week who's going to be the new champion of Survivor and like there's some content that's going to come up in the next couple of weeks so please keep an eye on the channel even if it is off season we're going to do some more stuff and for me personally I love having the audience involved I love talking to you guys I love having you guys give me the energy the ideas to creativity we're really a team here on the nullify Tech channel so make sure to check out for when we go live next so we can talk about some of these off-season topics but for now you know everybody out there stay safe stay dry if you're in any of these wet areas like I am currently consider subscribing to the channel if you're new here hitting the like putting the notification Bell on so you can be informed next time we go live but for now grab your torches head back to Camp I'll catch you guys next time bye
