0:10 [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Music] welcome back to the nullified Tech channel on here on YouTube where we've got the TNT text for you for season 45 of Survivor episode 4 we're doing the recap it's Kahuna it's Jake how you feeling today Jake welcome I'm doing good thanks for having me teacher's Gone Chris is gone the kids can party now I am I'm stepping into the big seat for Chris today he asked me if I could help him out he's got a lot on his plate I said I'm more than happy to hang out with Jake and talk about a show that we love before we get into the episode let's send a shout out to the chat people that
1:30 Are always there for us and make the whole thing a lot more fun before Dan could be hi guys so far I'm man on this season not loving it's just okay on another note I'm irritated that accidentally found out who was last on The Amazing Race Au and I'm frustrated since I haven't seen it yet oh we're going to be doing The Amazing Race Australia to later on tonight in about 11 hours from now I think is when that next one comes on so I'm a busy boy today too Erin said hi Chris andona my theory is that the result from last tribal impacted the tribal result the result from last tribal impacted the tribal world this one okay we'll get into all the results and break down exactly what happened why I never understood why did we miss the Flint one yeah I think they I think Asher up there was complaining about you know taking the supplies Messing with how much food they get and stuff before Dan says Kahuna and Jake where were you last week There's the question everyone wants to know man you abandoned us and now it's Chris this week yeah I did I had to pick up my parents from the airport we'll allow it we'll allow it
2:51 As soon as anyone says airport you have to like drop everything I know yeah airport rules the schedule exactly Georgette welcome hi guys of course Dolores one of my favorite people is on I was watching the devil's plan and stopped just for you guys looking forward to this because this is going to be good I hope so thank you so much Dolores as always Aon shout out to Jake hi Jake also agree we saw the Lost of Flint Story play out in 41 of UA tribe oh yeah it's played its course yeah and just so you know you've got dank as okay as long as Dan could be approved and I'm okay welcome everyone but episode 4 season 45 o of Survivor the show that brought us all together that the show that we know and love so much episode begins with a recap of the previous episode where we saw Lulu finally won their first reward challenge but lost immunity again making it three for three they're just really good at that particular skill losing immunity challenges we saw saaya voted out after you know Emily sort of went to Caleb and then we start the episode with them kind of discussing what went down sha with Caleb
4:11 And Emily and in a really awkward sort of setting how did you feel about the Fallout from saaya being such a prominent member of the tribe leading the tribe getting the boot and then sea having to deal with what happened afterwards I swear it's so funny because you know Emily is doing a lot better we'll talk about you know she's doing really well now but she's still showing flashes of her of her mishaps from the first episode when Sean brings up you know oh Caleb was never my idea to vote for you she immediately has to bring up oh so then it was me and it's like yes Emily you're right that is what that means but you don't need to say it you don't need to say it's just yeah it's pretty funny watching Sean squirm because he's just been so comfortable this entire time there's just never been in danger and just that zero or I guess 100 to zero not zero to 100 going happening so quickly really interesting episode from Shan just a weird sort of way that it ended up which we will definitely talk about but based on what we saw at the start and as awkward as it was being blindsided by two people and you're
5:31 The only one left with them it really felt to me like he was trying like he started turning on the charm a little bit more saying the cable it was never about you Emily throwing in her bit then that it was me but he it felt like he didn't resign himself to it he was sucking up he was like schmoozing and trying to get back in somehow even though there was only three of them and they weren't sure what was coming up but what we do sort of see next after that and the only that can save him he hopes and I think all of Lulu is actually hoping for some sort of tribe Swap and we get it this episode they land on the mats and Jeff screams to our 15 remaining players to drop your Buffs the famous saying did you expect it at this point what were you thinking was going to happen here because I believe this is the first time in the New Era we've had this is you know obviously we all saw the preview from last week so in a shock while we were watching it but in the preview when I saw in the preview from last week that there was going to be a tri stop I was shocked but I was freaking excited something is changing finally I mean because yeah we that's the whole thing we were is the change we've all been complaining from
6:51 Like I don't know probably like 35 to 40 is that there's too many trib swaps there's a tribe swap every season they need to switch it up and it seems like that they don't really get that memo that it's not it's not the twist that's bad The Twist of not swapping or swapping it's the repetition it's the doing it every single time so they know exactly what to expect and I could tell on their faces they were not expecting this and so that made me happy weird question do you think production was expecting it I wonder if Lulu was doing so bad and they were like we're going to lose the entire tribe before we get to any kind of swap or mid game or merge and any like they're gone I wonder if they called an audible and just like we got to save Lulu somehow like we're gonna lose all these people let's do a swap we haven't done it you know we're not we weren't planning on it we don't want to do it in modern era but Lulu is forcing our hand here that is a really good question that I want to say that you know oh they've got everything mapped out beforehand that they don't deviate from but there I think there's a non-zero chance
8:11 That is what happened maybe slightly just like you know 1% if that exactly because yeah like obviously you got ex actually may would it change that much like camera Crews they're just swapping their buff and the really a swap wouldn't change much it's not changing challenges it's not changing anything no because they have to yeah with the challenges they have to prepare for whatever amount of people yeah exactly so no it really doesn't require much of anything maybe we get to see Lulu though spread to the winds and potentially benefiting from this change potentially not Emily seems to be in a pretty good position and backing up what you said before I think a lot of people are falling in love with Emily as grows on in this game still got those tingers like you said it comes out every now and then but that's good that is good but the Improvement is there Gabe saying that Emily is so much fun to watch Danica agreeing I think Emily might be okay now especially keeps her mouth shut which is probably her biggest challenge and then Delora saying oh gosh Emily the Survivor I saw in episode one is definitely not the same one I'm glad and happy to see where she's going from here Gabe did like the swap as well saying finally a real tribe
9:32 Swap not some of the pseudo last season they just sent like one person from each tribe to a different tribe that was kind of weird yeah Cass kwash joins us what's up cass welcome and she said she agrees with G Gabe I wasn't fun with her at first talking about Emily of course but no matter what she's entertaining character seems like a pretty common theme with pretty much everybody didn't like her now she's kind of cool yeah [Laughter] yeah okay so yeah we end up with the tribe swap kind of a weird kind of layout definitely solidifying the fact that choosing those buff is completely random because the way the tribe sort of landed was a bit funny on Lulu Caleb stayed solo with four Bellow joining him Rea had four Rea plus sha and then Bellow maybe the most interesting they had two plus two plus Emily so two Bellow two Reba and then Emily joining them one of the things that we've liked about this 90minut format sorry Jake is that we get to see a little bit more Camp life and I think with the tribe swaps integrating new tribe members all that sort of thing and getting to know them a bit more we got to spend a little bit of time on the
10:52 Island with on the islands with each of the tribes so who of the new tribes do you find Most Fascinating that you're most interested to look at oh man that's a good question I still think that the coutura Bruce one-sided rivalry is really funny that especially that sequence where like the editors you know made it seem like she was going on and on and on and just wouldn't shut up and it's like it's like that one meme from Avengers it's like you took everything from me and it's like I don't even know who you are that's how that's how it feels with silently seething and he has no idea like yeah okay that yeah I do like that they kept Bruce and coutura together completely accidentally but they joined Lulu so Caleb's the original Lulu member in the new Lulu tribe he's at the bottom and he's just got a like Charisma all over the place to try to you know just turn Caleb up that little bit not more that Notch One More Level because he's got to ingratiate himself into a new tribe which is for strong with just him and just like the other tribes
12:12 With the other Lulu members spreading out I think they're just looking for cracks and I think fortunately because of what you said coutura and Bruce there's potentially some cracks there like we saw it was funny that whole thing happened right after like they landed at Lulu Bruce sees that it's also the tika tribe Camp from last season and he gets really teary he gets emotional like just seeing it there and I think like even when he does that the cura we just get a shot of her like silently rolling eyes she doesn't even need to criticize just no words just the ey roll and it's so perect yeah I know and it's like it's like okay coutur think about it what does that gain him really like okay sympathy but like if anything that makes him more of a threat because sympathy is bad in the game it makes you know it gives you a story you know at the end I guess to say you know oh yeah you know last time was so hard but you know I it conquered my you know fear of that happening again coming back out here so I mean I guess she's just like okay just shut up about it but it's like that was real
13:32 You know like he really like felt like he had been he had been like transported back to that moment and that's can't imagine how hard that is so I still enjoy I'm hoping there's got to be some people on the internet already that has changed that Couture ey roll into a gift that you can put on people's comments and things like that when they say something just use that's all but we did see a little bit here where Caleb was talking to Bruce about the summit and what actually went down coutura again vying for Uncle Brucey here very smartly I think kind of says puts a hand out maybe not smartly the way she did it but wanted to hear Caleb's side of the story before Bruce can kind of influence what actually happened there and maybe Caleb just plays along she wants his take on it what did you think of that sort of interaction there because I think this is where we see a we see a confessional or yeah from Bruce basically saying I think coutur doesn't like me yeah I know it's funny it's like his he's like I have a weird feeling that perhaps there's a chance and it's like it's just so funny just knowing that like they can't see each other's confessionals just know literally her entire
14:53 Story thus far has been that she hates Bruce but as you know as for her asking smart but you got to be more subtle you know too obvious especially because we saw Bruce be like she thought I was lying you know and it's like yeah Bruce everyone's lying you know of course they thought you of course of course they're you know skeptical but yeah maybe it would have been smarter go one-on-one with Caleb ask him you know don't do it right then and there get with him privately ask him what Brandon said and compare contrast I guess yeah I don't know the yeah the way she did where she like cut him off and was like hold up before you can save yourve your ass as well yeah maybe be a bit more subtle it's doing it oneon-one might have been a good idea because Jake takes that approach and we see a bit of one-on-one with Jake and Caleb potentially making something happen there as well then we see Caleb one-on-one with Couture anyway like so Caleb's kind of like I said he's turning on the Charisma he's just like trying to get in there and he's making
16:13 Friends with the group as a hole he makes friends with Jake and Jake says he's kind of open to it and then Caleb tries to turn him against Uncle Brucey as well it's like the chronological order here we go back and forth a bit for the tribes and stuff but we do see that these sort of play out not back to back to back but these are the interactions that happened at the Lulu tribe Caleb trying to ingratiate himself gets in with Jake gets in with coutura what do you think the right move here is for Caleb so you know as of right now he probably doesn't understand the full story that it's Cura it's not so much that Bruce is running things it's just she doesn't like them and she doesn't like that he annoying he's annoying and I get I mean I guess actually that you know he's got he's got sort of that charm you know seems like everybody but her really likes him and so she doesn't like that but so Caleb I think has a false impression that you know there's it's more than just Cura that might have that impression so I think he'll need to talk with Jake you know I don't know I hope you know I hope he doesn't blow everything up by you know telling him Cura said and Jake confronts her or something you
17:33 Know I don't want to get you know I don't want really throw some like throw a spanner in the works here for Bell and kind of see what happens or does he play it a little bit smoother and join that like does he want the chaos and then maybe sneak through or does he try to actually wedge those cracks open with Bruce and stuff between him and coutura and I think he to I think he tries to wedge open the cracks because I think he's smart enough to know that you know if he makes too much chaos they could all just band together and it's like okay our cracks have been exposed but you know should we all just band together and just take this guy out because he's clearly you know an agent of chaos just you know likes to blow things up so I think he'll I but I have faith that he'll play it a bit smoother than that Gabe said that Couture's whole story of just hating Bruce hating Bruce and hating lawyers is hilarious yeah herself coutura messed up and made it too obvious like what you said Jake Gabe really backing you up there Bruce said Aaron points out the Bruce coutur disbelief of his story was a nail in the coffin for them working together I mean I think coutura
18:54 Slammed shut that coffin episodes ago nailed it put dirt on it and she's jumping up and down on top of the yeah freshly packed ground she is of course as C for the hate Bruce Brigade literally yeah Emily her and yeah her and Emily would get along yeah from the episode one and gab says Kayla needs to find cracks got really lucky swapped with coutura and Bruce so yeah that's what we're saying that potentially is what could get Caleb through here Bell tribe is made up of 22 one two Bellow two Reba and one Emily we see so Emily becoming the swing and Emily like seemingly taking the advice from Lulu that maybe she came on a little bit too strong we see a different Emily here integrating herself with the with her new tribe and she does it by building trust and being transparent and maybe throwing saaya under the bus a little bit who wasn't there to you know she's gone why not that's the perfect Survivor move right there's no consequences no potentially no I don't know how people are going to see that what do you think of Emily's integration
20:14 Into this new mixed tribe where she does potentially sit in a powerful position as a swing between two merge tribes here she is in the spot right now because there's no way I think she mentioned you know as I just said before it's like oh maybe if Caleb comes off you know too much chaos they'll they might band together and just take them out that's not going to happen even though Emily brought that possibility up of like maybe the two Will just join together and take me out that's not gonna happen Okay Emily you're safe yeah for this next vote at least you know and I just don't see a there's just no world where she's in danger if they go to tribal for at least yeah like at least two more she's got that third seat swing and she is she's sitting in the seat where she gets to choose between Austin and Drew and then it was Kendra and Brando so it was interesting as well that the two combinate or the two pairs that ended up in Bellow Austin Drew super tight right very close they're each other's numbers number ones we saw last week them getting to Shenanigans and hij
21:34 Jinks trying to hide from D and Mama J with the idol they found and all that sort of thing and we got reminded this week I completely forgot Austin points out that they literally have an idol the Goodwill advantage and safety without power between this very tight Joo who are also the strongest people in their new tribe makeup as well so if you're Emily you're looking at Kendra and Brando which we didn't see any kind of wooing of Emily as a swing boat there was no kind of you know throw and Riz at her to try to get her on side or anything but Austin and Drew with all these you know advantages in their pocket they come a call in who are you picking who have I picking yeah like if you're Emily you're looking at this tribe I've got Austin and Drew on one side happy to work with me and seemingly like we even get the a few confessionals from Drew saying Oh I thought she was going to be super mean based onod she's totally cool I like her though it's not even like it could potentially the way he's talking we don't know how it's going to play out but it potentially it could be a Jew a true genuine Alliance based on their personality so far as opposed
22:54 To one for convenience cuz you need her as a swing yeah I mean yeah Drew yeah Drew was even mentioning like hey when we get to the merge hopefully Emily joins up with all the other rebot too and it's like whoa already you're already like talking like that you know because most people like try to play it cool for the confessionals to be like yeah we'll just use her for this vot and then just toss her toss her aside but he I feel like legit she's made like a really good impression on them and makes her like seemed like a really good Ally I mean if I were her I don't believe they told her about any sort of advantages but probably my one complaint of this episode is that they like you mentioned they didn't show any sort of conversations with Brando or Kendra with Emily which we know there were conversations there's no way there weren't that those didn't happen and they just couldn't show it you know there were and I'm just yeah I'm not really sure why they didn't it kind of makes it a obvious of who she's going to choose you know it's like yeah you know if they lose you know Brando's on my team so pray praying that you know because it seems like probably him because he's on the weaker
24:14 Yeah you know on the weaker side of that group you know we didn't really see much from Brando and Kindra at all not just with yeah so I'm wondering if you know maybe it's not obviously it wasn't necessarily storyline this episode that there may be that danger but I'm wondering if they like the tribe as far as immunity challenges might be okayish so that could be a thing because Reba looks Reba looks weak yeah like even the makeup of the team like before this before the like the tribal I was looking at a going that is not a good team for Challengers you know what I mean you know it's funny cuz I didn't know notic that and then after they lost I was like wait yeah why didn't I go like one by one and realize like this is not a strong tribe at all and I'm surprised like none of them you know mentioned it and confessionals either are like we look bad and you know I think they did get a bit screwed because you know sefue usually it seems like he's not the best basketball player based on his form he's got Tai ch he's got TI yeah he doesn't do basketball but he's playing with Bulls
25:35 Of pure energy and harnessing the universe and stuff yeah roll the balls of rock and roll of course yeah the machete I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna lie his whole like grabbing the machete and like rocking out that would get on my nerves after like the second time he did it probably look Chris isn't here this week so I get to say because Chris every episode he's like I love sefue I did martial arts all that sort of thing I'm like I hate seu bed like he would piss me off so much I'd be like dude yeah I know just stop sit down it's a lot man like just chill for one second I hate to say this you know but like I think he's putting on an act for the camera and it's like I'm sure you're pretty eccentric guy in your in your real life but not this much you know and obviously especially since Shawn was coming over for the first time he wanted to make some Grand first impression and so he went all out once again yeah but you no you can tell like especially J maatu is just like stop and yeah I think me and my
26:55 And my girlfriend are on the same page of like K seu it's a bit much yeah much Chris actually agree finally Kahuna with the right take about sefue yeah who voted for go to this bottom comment this killed me when he said who voted for seu like he's talk talking about himself in the third person it's like do actually he didn't even put the four there which became one of my instant classic lines which yeah we'll talk about at the end of the travel but I love he's like who voted sefue like I want to get that tattooed on me somewhere or something who voted SE voted sefue oh my gosh so sha is at Reaver by the way Shawn again trying very hard it seems like maybe that's just his normal person but he is turning on the charm he's turning on the he's trying to get in with this tribe and it does not look like he wants to leave anytime soon he's trying hard and he drops one of the best lines when you're talking about sefue with the machine shed guitar do you remember what Sean said after that little display I don't I don't he said and it made everyone crack up D laughed her ass off everything and Sean just looks at him goes you're a [Laughter] Lyricist CU he's just
28:15 Going he's got he's got away with words he really does what's his real name isn't it like a ni or something I forget now I forget all the preseason stuff had his real name and that's how I had him when we were leading up to the draft and all that sort of thing and I was calling him by that in my head and then yeah as soon as we see I was like okay you call yourself SE and I what's his real name what's his what's his birth name it wasn't sefue I guarantee you as well just knowing sefue the way I do from whatever they've shown us I bet you he gave himself that nickname like he's one of those guys that no he absolutely did I'm sure and I'm sure you know Jeff just has a you know has a thing for that so I bet during like the casting process he brought that up and they were like Jeff immediately was on board like yes you gotta do it you know and honestly good move by Jeff you know it's fun when people just you know do that so I get it there yeah there you go it is Nicholas according to so I get it I get it you wanna i' Chang my name too i' Chang my name too that's
29:36 Hey listen I'm going by Kahuna so I'm not I'm not blaming sefue at all because my real name is worse than Nicholas so if people ever find that out actually I will I'll unload I know what it is I know what it is knows what it is but you don't know context Jake which is what makes it important it's such an Australian name too my name is Nigel actually my full name I don't know if I should dock myself on the internet but it makes me sound so much more Posh and fancy my full name is Nigel Edward Brown so it almost sounds like oh my I should have like a third Esquire at the end Nigel Edward Brown the third Esquire sir you honestly I'm not going to lie that sounds like he like a Serial killer's name you know how three name thing yeah cuz they always give the middle they always give the middle name middle name that's ass so and so yeah absolutely why I don't go by Nigel online as much in Australia there's a slang thing it's probably not it's a bit outdated now but it's when I was a teenager it became a thing and it almost feels like I inspired it but I really hope it's not the case in Australia Nigel is a derogatory term for a loner someone with no F it's literally Nigel no friends
30:56 That's the phrase interesting never heard that never heard oh you Nigel come over here and hang out with us you're being a Nigel over there with by yourself kind of thing so it's not a great name for young people growing up in Australia but kahun it is we'll go with that sha being a Nigel himself having no friends on Reber at the moment he's trying real hard what did you think of the new challenge that we saw Jake brand new challenge that we've never seen before I like to call it not so fast it's where they look at bags and to replicate a knot precisely in order to try to I did not know I had no idea what you were referring to at first I was so confused that was that was a great challenge Jeff yeah it was a good challenge from Jeff wasn't it you gota you gotta replicate this knot on a bag try to open it without getting I was I was surprised I was surprised not going to lie I was surprised by them giving that much attention detail being like we got to put this exactly how it was you know so he has doesn't know they were even saying like oh the shoe was on the bottom it was oriented this way facing downwards with a slight slant to the left you know and I was like oh wow okay what does that say to you I got Good
32:16 Vibes and it's probably because I'm biased at D's on my team but I'm like G the is smart like she's good she's thinking like remember last episode we're were talking about how they busted Drew wasn't here last episode oh okay and obviously what you just admitted there is that you didn't watch it back so you know that but I do remember I remember yeah Drew and Austin got busted by D she chooses to not sort of call them out for the for it but give like play along with it she's showing a few things here and there which I'm hoping is a good sign for D that she's smart and also she's got that giant toe so that's going to help her at some point right it's got it as we mentioned it's the one challenge the one challenge It's Gonna Save her ass I know it yeah the post merg toe grab thing exactly before danab said Nigel isn't bad sounds very British when Jake said you had an Australian name I immediately thought Bruce that's a very Aussie name it's so funny Nigel I've never ever heard of an American named Nigel ever probably not he I've never either now that I think of that it's a very British name I think very British or Australian yeah
33:36 Gabe says Kahuna what if Nigel what if a Nigel play Survivor and wins would you of course I would just like Jake is for Jake now Jake on Survivor Jake on TNT just gets right to his heart he's a good swimmer yeah what that joke as well did he laugh for about 45 seconds he said I'm gonna jump sh lucky I'm a good swimmer and then just laughed ridiculously long a little ominous little AR I'm wondering I'm wondering if that laugh that he had is maybe what causes him to pass out next episode I was literally just about to say to long I just about to say that yeah but also people are saying like maybe he's like experiencing like delirium and he's like he's like Delirious that he thinks his jokes are funnier than they really are because let's be honest it wasn't that funny it was not a good joke it was all right J it was all right it got a little chuckle out of me it he laughed a lot he laughed so much at his own joke and hey I would do this I'd probably do the same thing if I were on Survivor because I'm I make myself laugh too but that was a bit concerning
34:57 And especially because we see in the preview that he's fainting again and yeah I swear hyperventilated he just lost oxygen from laughing too hard exactly what it is yeah it's because I swear to you if Jake gets medically evacuated that's two seasons in a row that my first pick gets medically evacuated oh hopefully we'll see him I don't want that happen like as much as I want you at the bottom of our draft I don't want Jake to go home I'm coming back I'm coming back we'll get to that everyone as well we got we got the points coming up but we do get to the immunity challenge in this episode swim to a cage climb up climb in carry the whole cage to the beach a rebounder digs themselves out from underneath it and then they basically just shoot hoops this is a cool challenge I thought I like this what did you think of it this is a challenge that was made for me because I love basketball and you know because it just seems like oh it's just a stupid spoil never help you anywhere well it would have helped me here and we saw with sefue if he would have not help sefue if he would have picked up a basketball more often growing up instead of taichi ball of energy maybe it would have
36:17 Well I guess he still survived but he almost didn't and it would have so this would have been good for me I liked it I liked it was it good it was I think it was like slightly new I think the whole like picking up the cage out of the water that's not new but I don't remember really them this like combination of like that plus the digging plus the shooting the hoop I think that's somewhat new but yeah overall it was it was pretty good I'd say it was above average because as for somebody like me that doesn't really care too much about the challenges as opposed to like the strategy I was more engaged than I normally was during this so we did see Lulu with their I put air quotes Lulu with their first win because just it's Caleb right more accurately Caleb wins his first immunity and he was he was Steph Curry out there when you're talking about that you're a basketball fan Caleb like his form you could tell he plays right like he definitely shs which is great cuz later he said you don't have to put me on the war I'm Kawai Raptors being from Canada and stuff he go that's basically saying give me any team and I'm bringing home a championship and I like that from give me something better than Brandon
37:38 And Hannah please yeah and I'll get there Kawai and the Raptors he's just shooting threes and I don't know if you notice Jake as someone who does play basketball you could you I knew he played basketball from his form but then when he shot that last one he goes that's the one from Deep like he called his own shot from far away I'm like he play like he's a basketball player for sure like I know I know that's the case sure last week last week Caleb dominated in the reward challenge like Lulu doesn't win immunity challenges but when they won the reward challenge Caleb really kind of dominated and Austin carried for his tribe to Second and we saw that actually replicated this week is that Caleb was so far out in front shooting those threes Austin then got his team over the line and there and in second place and both of them respectively kind of leading from the front and carrying the physical side and the challenges for the team I kind of dig this like even though they haven't interacted they're not like going at each other or anything but at least in the challenges in like kind of a sports Vibe as opposed to on the beach Survivor tribe there's a little battle going on like between the two of them and so far Caleb's kind of got the advantage over Austin which I kind of dig you know yeah now that he's got some health around him he can actually
38:58 Make something happen now he's on the Warriors not the you know well I was going to say like you know as far as looking at that the Bellow tribe that he had around him that were undefeated you basically take out Brando and Kendra is decent but you take out Brando and Kendra and swap them for Caleb and I was like he talks about the Warriors I'm like that's like putting Bradley Beal on the Suns man like my sons baby exactly there's a reference J you don't have Durant and Booker and then add Bradley Beal that's not fair that's Caleb his vill exactly yeah because I mean even yeah pretty much all of them coutura Bruce Jake Kelly they're all good they're all really good yeah so yeah adding Caleb's not fair it's like adding DeMarcus Cousins on the Warriors except that didn't really work out that it didn't really work out never mind that didn't really it was when KD joined the war but I tell you what because I was the biggest KD fan growing up I had even though I live in Arizona always had Thunder stuff he just was my favorite when he left and went to the Warriors I about burned his jersey I didn't I didn't actually go through with it but I almost did because I was like how old was
40:19 I like 14 I was like I don't want to start a fire you know I don't want to like spread a fire around the neighborhood to do I'm annoyed at this thing I'm going to light my own property that I paid money for on fine so I was I was upset when that happened but I remember being even more upset hearing that DeMarcus Cousins had signed with the Warriors I remember thinking like one through five they've got like freaking allars everywhere sorry this is probably like not there's probably not a lot of over starting a new NBA podcast NBA starts next week I'm excited I'm excited and it's funny because now I've forgiven KD cuz he's on my son's now of course you have of course much like you know Lulu sorry you know Bellow reaching out to Emily welcom them in all these new tribes Reba however first time that they have sha first time they lose so maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't Brandon that was the problem maybe it was Sean so Shan goes to tribal four from four episodes in a row four tribals in a row he's 100% he's he hasn't missed he's impressive yeah so Sean in the vulnerable position he new
41:39 Reer tribe and they kind of consider whether they're going to get rid of him or whatever obviously I said on Lulu Caleb looking for cracks and there is potentially cracks on Reba because we've said before I'm not a fan of Seuss's little Antics it seems that maybe his tribe aren't either because jmah pushes for a Blindside against seu here whereas Mama J I like that sort of JM and Mama J M yeah Mama J Julie emphasizes the re the importance of keeping strength she saw what happened at that at that challenge she even said if it wasn't for sefue we'd still be sitting in that water we the even the other even the other tribe struggled for moments at a time and it's like who heavy a big ass cage man yeah so what do you think of what's going on at Reber here leading up to tribal we obviously know the results but sha thinks or potentially may have a weigh in with jmia the three women who are saying that they're going to be a strong alliance with d Mama J and JM they say we want to keep at women D saying and J saying we got to get
42:59 Rid of sefue Mama J saying we got to keep sefue did they make the right decision going to tribal well I mean kind of seems like it wasn't up to them to a certain extent but I think it's a it's a how good of a move it was depends on each person personally it's funny because I believe for Jah probably smartest to you know sort of for her to realize I'm on the bottom with sefue like she doesn't I don't think she really knows you know well especially with the Austin Drew thing right she's in this conversation right now simply because Austin and Drew aren't they're on another tribe right so the only reason why she's even talking with d and Mama Jay's because they're forced to right I mean yeah th those four are tight Mama J D Austin and Drew and I mean yeah if only you know if I'm just looking out for her I'd say G with suu realized that you know those guys are those guys are on top you know I mean Julie isn't really
44:19 Adding much physically so if you want to if that's your concern maybe take her out you're taking out a number from those top four and you're making your tribe stronger while still keeping sefue and but J Maya just seems to have a fixation on you know he could have an idol could have an idol you know the funny thing is though is that d knows he doesn't have an idol right but she can't say that yeah like but this is what guess we get we get to tribal they start out everyone's sort of saying Sean's actually really cool like we like Shan he's a good guy he seems to be turning on but we're Reber strong so and I mean he was I think actually maybe I'll kind of retract my back statement my last statement about ji being fixated on sefue it's not it wasn't so much that she was just really like sea she just really like Sean she keeps saying like he's bringing Good Vibes which I get because if you're around seafu you want some different Sean is let's just yeah he's different than sefue for sure so I get it this is how different seus is because when he got a question from Jeff he's sort of saying yeah Sean's great we love him but that's not the burger
45:39 I want like that was what he said right and Sean's like well what do you want I can be pizza so what is that the burger you want like what food would you be if you're out there Jack man I mean I mean I'd like to think I'd be like a juicy steak you know people would just look at me and their just mouths will start watering they're like whoa I you got a prime rib written across your forehead right now Jake I can see it on the camera yeah did I mean I just be like I need to work with that guy right there so but no what was SE what was he waffling about Burger that's all he does man and I don't know if you know this but he's been doing taichi since he was six years old oh really actually didn't know that did you know that se got but did you know his name's not really sefue it actually it's just like master teacher master trainer did you know that master trainer that's right so what this Tribal Council for me Jay was really weird like itd super weird tribal counsel it was long like I remember getting towards the end and there was still minutes on the run time when I was like oh
46:59 Something's going to happen here see he maybe does have an idol I don't know like what's going to happen that there's 15 minutes for this last tribal but the reason why we ended up with 15 minutes is because like I said at the start sha I got the vibe that he was trying hard like he said he turned to C wanted to stay yeah he really wanted to stay and then all of a sudden he flips the switch and gets super emotional and delivers this very dramatic speech about how he just really just loves his husband and wants to go home turns to everyone and says vote for me we have another quit and Jeff's face he was the steel look yeah like did you see that coming I don't think like even in the Ed they left it that way I'm wondering if they had any idea because there was no lead up confessionals there was no anxiety there was no like you know we saw Hannah talking about jonesing for cigarettes and all that sort of thing we got nothing from we saw him trying like in his way like he's turning on the charm he's like super friendly he's trying to get in there and then boom like just pulls a rug on all of us yeah you could tell that Not only was Jeff
48:20 Pissed he was just confused he was like yeah okay is this some sort of like 40 chess strategy that I'm not aware of or is this real do you think it could have been because we did see leading up to it in the conversation with Mama J she basically said obviously when we're at tribal we're g to we're going to vote for sefue but we have to tell sefue that it's you and we may lay it on a bit thick that we're rebber strong but it's okay first of all I just want to point out that was very smart from Mama J right like even that was very CL that could that would spook people if they weren't really thinking it through hey they got to keep up some impression here you know they're just lying but you know she went the extra mile and was like really laid it out like okay there's going to be things said as tribal but that's not what's really happening yeah this was re this was just so weird like I just can't get over how weird it was like because I mean I know it's hard because it's in the moment for Sean so he probably wasn't thinking this through but okay I get you miss your husband like that's hard it's hard to be away from your family it doesn't matter if it's a day a week or 26 days it's hard but
49:40 You're gonna be in Ponderosa anyways you don't go see tomorrow yeah and also I mean Jeff it's kind of funny so Jeff kind of came out and gave his thoughts I don't know if you read it or not I've not I've not so he basically laid out he's pretty mad he's not happy he's not happy about it because he feels like that Shawn was romanticizing a quit and he tried to make it seem like it wasn't but it was and you know he says you know it's funny because on one hand Jeff is like this is the hardest Survivor has ever been but then in the same vein he says in that statement he's like it's only 26 days bro it's only 26 days exactly he's like and they're what nine days in or something like it's not even it's not even 20 like he's at 17 left or something like that and Sean has given no indication whatsoever that like you know he's really been missing his husband like extra you know yeah these days has been a laid up at all and you know I think you know he set his piece you know about you know his upbringing and you know being in the in the Mormon church you know I was I was also raised in that church so I get it
51:00 I won't go too much into that but I get it especially you know him being him being gay I get yeah but also at the same time I hate to say this it's gonna come off as kind of being a dick but like what does that have to do with this what does that have to do with quitting or I guess you know whatever going to I don't know I actually I got a maybe I'm too cynical and I'm a bit of an and I don't think naturally that people have the best intentions all the time I don't know about Sean he seems like a genuinely nice dude but I felt like that speech was really like rehearsed and like he wanted his dramatic moment and he also probably because he probably said that during casting you know was probably a big part of his story you know to the casting team so that's probably why the husband stuff I was like yeah I agree because yeah I agree I agree with that but all yeah also what just really kind of I hate that I hate feeling like we're just piling on Sean right now but I will just say one more thing in his exit interviews he's I just I don't
52:20 Like his Vibe the way he's talking he says you know he could have gone far if he wanted to what about the fact that with that combined with the fact that he's an elementary principal he's a for Australians he's a primary school principal not an elementary school principal so he's got little kids that he's example to them too hard now profession and stuff but like I felt weird like for a principal to show the kids that yeah I'm just going to quit and go home cuz you know I miss my I miss my husband so I'm out like the resilience or the that he's trying to instill in his students I'm sure that's what every principal wants for their students to be able to go through the challenges that school presents and come out a better side of it but to go it felt a little bit childlike to go I miss my husband I want my family I'm out like not that I would ever compare missing your husband to cigarettes but it felt similar like I don't have my cigarette I'm quitting I want my husband I'm quitting you know what I mean like I wasn't a fan of that H I know I just yeah like I said I kind of hate
53:41 I think there's some stuff going some stuff going on in the back someone get voted out that's for sure but yeah you know like I said I kind of hate feeling like I'm piling on but you know kind of just don't really fully get it and I feel like Jeff said I think I feel like you know some people have said this and I think maybe it's a bit harsh but it also could be true you know is that you know he got blindsided at the last tribal and now he's just he's in this really tough spot and I don't think maybe he was maybe he maybe not so much that but like he saw that there could have been a possibility tonight and so he just wanted to like not even deal with it even if it were and maybe he knew I'm going anyway I'm gonna do it on my terms I get to give my speech I get you know I don't know if he was I don't know if he was thinking this far ahead but he maybe saw like okay maybe they vote out sefue but sefue is our best challenge performer after this we're definitely gonna lose again and they're going to vote me out yeah 100% so I don't know that's probably a bit of extrapolation by me but all I could think when I was watching him give that speech
55:01 Is that if it was genuine and if it was real like really meant a lot to him and came from the heart I thought it was so funny and I'm mean here cuz I'm piling on Sean as well I thought it was so funny that he had to give that heartfelt deep emotional speech about coming out in the Mormon church and all the challenges he put up with and he had to do it with people that he's known for about 12 hours and was like holding their hands going we a family like this tribe and like he's going so Earnest and so serious that's the sort of that's the sort of speech you make after 26 days you know you're voted out like you know you're the fir making loser or something that's what it felt like but he was doing it you know fourth person Ved out but yeah if any of you and you Kahuna if you're interested go see what Jeff said about Sean I he goes pretty hard he goes pretty hard in on him I mean because he's looking down the barrel now of a season where we've had four episodes and 50% quit 50% like yeah two out of the four although I will say one of them was Brandon so yeah you I will say I think well I can't say this because we had no idea that Shawn would potentially quit I don't think it's going to
56:21 Happen again I think I think this is it I think they've they' weeded out the weaklings yeah hopefully Danica said that she thought it was a ploy I thought it was a play but then he really went over the top so like is he trying to throw sefue off so he doesn't play an idol but just played it so hard that the other the rest of the tribe believed him and wanted to send him home but it's like okay you don't ask them to vote you out so no he was definitely asking to be voted out because if he really was just doing a play he would have you know gave his whole Spiel but then not asked to be voted out he would have just said I don't think you do husband stuff I don't think well not the husband stuff not the husband stuff all that stuff you don't need to do all that if it's a play right like I think that just say you know like oh H I don't want to go home I've had such a good time here this has been my dream you know yeah exactly you can play the I know I'm going it's inevitable you're clearly not on my side wink but yeah like it's but yeah like had a different take on it Chris had a different take on Shan's move here Shan made a split second decision and didn't think it through sham had one moment of so he had
57:42 Every like just in the moment he was like ah I'm going and then decided there and then and then the second he got to P Roa he's like what have I done and now he just has to like completely backtrack and made it make it seem like that he that really was what he wanted to do I don't know man I don't think there's really much else we can say about it's just weird just weird yeah it was a yeah like Danica said fact he voted for D why else would he do that yeah which also weird why did he do that what also was weird was the last minute thing from d like saying to Mama Jay vote for sefue and then she ends up being the sole vote for sefue in a really weird spot like I don't understand what's going on here even more weird but given the fact that it was J Maya that was the one that was like it has to be sefue has to be sefue you think that if anyone that would be like okay cool story Sean but I don't give a you know it would be her I want you here you know but it was D weird weirdly enough that's what D actually said was it C said here D basically was like
59:02 Yeah dead it's so good I know so yeah and then I didn't get that because again as I said D knew that Seafood doesn't have an idol right she does unless like remember so why are you trying to like you don't need to Blindside him so he doesn't use it you know what I mean like yeah you could tell he's got an idol he might use it next week he might use it next week he might use so let's get him now when he's very confident not to use it right that's the thing with the idol play you vote them out when they won't play it you have to surprise them and that but she knows he doesn't have it so why did she still go down that path so hard and then one thing that upsets me as well is that this potentially means that D doesn't have the influence over Mama J and Jah that maybe she thought she had Will D end up in a bad position because we see coming out of this a bit of tension THU in next week's previews saying that his Dynamite is going to explode he's like all over the place I don't know what consequences will come from that he doesn't have the numbers at all like you can't do anything if JM and Mama Jay stick true but I am interested to see what his chaotic energy being nice and contained and normal
1:00:22 What it would be like when he's like ah I know this is this is going to be like rert with Johnny Fairplay who the voted for me yeah he's yeah he's gonna forget all that crap about Tai Chi you know inner peace he's gonna he's gonna be walking around the tribe going yeah who voted sefue who voted sefue did you vote for sefue who voted seu then after everyone after everyone says no he's going to start looking at him self did sefue vote for sefue he's this is going to be very interesting times ahead that's for sure yeah I will say you know I'm I have high hopes for the rest of the season I think that you know as long as this is the end of this you know nonsense that of people you know quitting soft quitting whatever you want to call it because I'm enjoying the season I think the episodes are very good it just gets tainted right at the end yeah and I think we have to try a really good episode this was a really good episode but that's what happened in episode one as well with Hannah people were like oh this is the worst episode I was like it was only right at the end when it got sucky yeah I'm
1:01:43 Like we have to try to remember that and I'm hoping that it does pick up because I don't want like I said it's 50% so far as quitters and then one of them who wasn't a quitter was Brandon who didn't equ equi himself well in the game at all so I'm like the people that have gone out have clearly been the right people to go out because they you know but I'm hoping that we don't get a lot more of that and we want to see a bit more action at tribals and not just the rest of the episode but I thought it was a good episode overall weird at the end got very strange at the end wasn't necessarily happy about that but it's still a fascinating watch which does bring us to the end of episode four I'm going to throw this out there I get I'm going to bet here Jake that I know your answer is no but I'm going to put it to the chat should we go through points for the draft even with Chris does Jake want to see the points update I'll do it I'll do it because I'm gotta see it gotta deal with it somehow you gotta deal with it you gotta push through is you're not going to say I miss home I want to go home now I qu I want to go to I want to go back to my 43 spreadsheet when I so after four episodes of season
1:03:03 45 in our TNT draft team Jake third place with 92.5 points total your top scorer is Emily no surprise and then you've got J meire and Jake on 20 points each so Emily on 30 how the heck did they both May on 20 then you've got you've got Hannah and Brando Brandon and Brandon who is gone now Brando's got another episode or two episodes on him Brando has 10 points total Brandon had 11 they're shafting brand for sure yeah Brando I wonder if he was like see you made me be Brando you made him be Brandon and he left and now I'm Brando for the rest of the season when I could have been Brandon from the start like he's pissed picked the wrong Brandon he's pissed yeah and then second place me team Kahuna 139 points my big scorers Austin on 34 D 29 and then Kelly and sha 20 21 Shawn goes out with 21
1:04:23 Kend you have total 139 wow so I'm about 30 40 48e yeah 40 47 points and Chris still out in front I'm hoping he comes back to the pack a little bit here but he's on 169 points nice so I don't I think that's a pretty similar Gap all three of us did he have Shawn no I had Shawn I had sha he L my first l he Hada so his points he's being carried by Caleb on 35 interesting and Drew on he got that Advantage so that mix Drew on 44 he's got two advantages and a bunch of confessionals right yeah and a bunch of challenge wins and stuff too so he's he's sitting pretty Drew and really carrying him I still can't believe I managed to pick both Hannah and Brandon that's got to be one of the most ridiculous yeah like of any combination of players look the good thing for you is that after that first episode Hannah Brandon and Emily was looking really tough but Emily much better position for
1:05:43 You now really good yeah I won't get in I won't I won't go into too much about like you know the editing or whatever but guys Emily could win I'll just put it there she could she could definitely could she has she has some I don't think she will but she could sure she a lot of people you know who follow edic and stuff say you know she's got she's got the winners at it who knows there you go I'm maybe I'm pumping myself full a copia right now but yeah that's where we stand and about like 40 between each of so 40 from you to me 40 from me to Chris we got to close that g we GNA catch Chris hopefully is he in trouble he's got sefue might be in trouble he's got Bruce with coutura maybe there's something there but he looks pretty set with I have the Julie Caleb I have the impression that Bruce is Gonna Go Far this season yeah I just connects though he's not in with anyone but like H got people aiming at him he's only got one person aiming at
1:07:03 It's enough she's very angry yeah I don't know I don't think well okay all right fair enough I don't know I don't know either who's your saving Hope here I think Jake I think Jake and Emily no I'm worried about him oh yeah he's gonna die next week why going to die she's going to die he laugh too hard but like seriously why else would they be showing those scenes if he wasn't evacuated he has to be he has to be like I'm pretty convinced last week he fell in the fire he Mike scooping it but it's like it's showing each like it's progressively getting worse and worse convergence of evidence yeah you know like I remember you know it's like they kept showing like scenes with Matthew last season you know him just like oh my arm my arm oh and it's like yeah you know H why else would they be showing that so much if it wasn't gonna come back later you know it's true Gabe says that Emily looking great story-wise yeah and that Bruce has both Jakes on his side me he didn't have yeah I said he didn't have any connects I was wrong he's got you wrong no but it does seem like you know
1:08:24 That Jake Boston Jake I mean he did kind of say you know like hey Bruce isn't off the table but also like hey if we can keep him let's do it Georgette backing you up calling Emily as a winner pick that's what I'm saying guys there you go what I'm saying so yeah we end up with our points we end up with sea going home very weird end and what potentially looks like an exciting next week we'll see Fu go full Super Saiyan will Jake go home will Jake wipe some tears so there's a lot potentially going on next week but that does bring us into the to the end of this episode I want to thank everyone in the chat Danica Gabe Georgette eron we love you all the time Dolores Chris obviously the people that's supporting TNT from the get-go cash everyone along the for the ride thank you so much I hope it was a good time Chris will be back next week I hope and if you're haven't switched over I think he's actually podcasting right now simultaneously live he's doing the challenge draft with Drew from Angel's Cake and Chan Chanel from reality everybody that everybody that chose this over that one
1:09:44 You're sa I'm not going to throw Chris on the bus but everyone knows he has said I don't know if he said it on the Survivor one but he's definitely said it on the challenge one he thinks that the Challen may have overtaken the Survivor in his shut up about it he won't shut up about what he's made his Allegiance clear after we stop here everyone go head on over to the other nullified Take podcast because Chris Chantel and Drew are drafting challenge 39 right now but we're going to cover episode five next week Jake thank you sir I hope that the Suns fail miserably this week in the in the new season but I'm happy to talk to you about Survivor at least come next week everyone you're a Lakers fan aren't you I'm a Lakers fan so that's probably that's bad as well I know I recognize that's not great to be a Lakers fan but I am unfortunately so are you like a well we'll talk off air about that but until then everyone grab your torches head back to Camp we'll see you next time bye
