The Traitors Canada: Episode 2 Review

0:00 Hello everyone and welcome back to the NFI Tech channel here on YouTube where we've got the TNT text for you on Traders Canada except heish there's a slight twist you know this isn't any ordinary Traders Canada recap it is the maky takes recap that's right it's your host mcky and today I'm joined by a very special guest you all know him as one of my best mates noodle muncher sexy Viking what more titles can we add to this BL it is a great heish how are you I'm doing good I'm doing good it feels good to be you know getting back properly into this season once again I'm in a new location I'm actually not I'm just in the lounge that I'm usually in not my laundry this time except it's way too back lit at the moment because of the where the sun is so we've just rotated yeah but it looks like I'm in a new room not GNA lie I know you're a window person like myself I've been very disappointed with how hot has been recently in the sun what's your what's your thoughts yeah I was talking to my band mates last night at rehearsal and I was saying like I'm just mad like it's I hate I hate summer and stuff and then and then so two of the guys the drummer cuz like you know playing drums is quite like it's quite

1:20 A hot thing and then also the basis like sometimes I actually quite often they take off their shirts while we're rehearsing and then the two guitarists and I never do and then for the first time ever with these guys I was last night I was like screw it like had to get a little had to get a little funky there it's getting so hot bro it's getting so hot because you're there you know you're creating the atmosphere and everything it's radiation yeah that's why they take their shirts off exactly but you know just before we do actually get into trade as Canada I think everyone is want wondering how is Sammy the slug how is Sammy the slug so right after we ended the episode I went up to the slug and I basically like I wrote like the alphabet and some numbers almost like in a Ouija board style that out on a piece of paper and I left it there and I came back the next morning and you could see he like slithered over and you could see the track marks and so basically it was like a tracking detail so I typed that into the internet and you can see live like what Sammy this SL is up to bro he's reached the Vatican and so anyway to my understanding Sammy

2:41 The slug is going to meet the pope and then after that he's going to continue up North but Sammy the slug seems to be doing great he's on some kind of Conquest I don't know why but yeah Sammy the slug bro is meeting the pope you know something that there's been happening in a lot of fictional shows I've been seeing is that a great power comes out of nowhere you and I was sort of in the Ahsoka Series where a imperial officer which if you want to hear more about that watch our Ahsoka podcast which should be dropped pretty soon and like some other shows been watching it's like there's a great power there was an exile there now come back is Sammy the slug got to reach that power Sammy the slug is that power sem the slug is going to outdo the king of England right semi the slug is going to find like if anyone's watched the last Kingdom and if you haven't Michael I suggest you do because it's just such a good show but basically throughout the all the seasons the king up until he passes away and then his sons take over he's trying to unite all

4:01 Of the Saxons to make one England and there's actually a really good like song as a part of the soundtrack called my England but anyway and he's trying to do that and he's trying to make what we now know today as England but Sami the slug's basically doing that with the world where it's like it's not like you know New Zealand and Australia and Canada Etc it's just the world and so he's the king of the world he's going to us and then we together will expand to basically he's doing what Elon Musk is doing with Mars just better yeah no I'm I mean I'm having to pledge my allegiance to send me the slug yeah me too yeah he's a real like people's leader you know yeah but let's actually talk about some Traders for I know we why would we do that bro I know we're could easy took whole hour about sing thislike but anyways let's talk about Traders Canada episode 2 we start off with episode with the breckfast and you know obviously we're both massive fans of Traders New Zealand but I will admit the breakfast in Traders Canada looked 10 times better than

5:21 What the breakfast was in tra Traders New Zealand what's your thoughts on the brick first I like because like when we're watching it all the I don't make the jokes out loud because I don't you know a lot of the jokes aren't actually that funny but I'm always joking like in my head with myself about the host being French Canadian like at the beginning when we were watching it before when it's like when she's like last time on Traders Canada and on my head I was like last time on Traders Canada I was French anyway so when I think it was Mel when she was just like oh like this breakfast is so good and then you see shots of the food and the first thing is croissance I saw that I was just like yeah bro mean yeah I saw that too that m i almost had a cracking up laughed there were quite a few times I did bust out laughing during this episode but yeah unfortunately everyone's coming in you know one by one and we see Melissa the traitor Melissa there's actually two melissas on the cast tamish but the tra is Melissa yeah so Melissa B she comes in and she knows that she's got bit of a Target on her back and people really bit you know weary

6:41 Of her so she's staring to like just talk a lot more and just try to be very active and oh who's here who's not here who's here who's not here trying to figure out like who's going to get potentially eliminated but I think it was the other Melissa had pointed out that like she's very clearly like let me are you this episode yeah this yeah it was crystal sorry my B I got them both mixed up yes it was crystal what the heck are you doing I'm sorry man I'm sorry I've got I've just got names everywhere I'm a terrible host but yeah Crystal you know pointed out that Melissa is acting even more suspicious CU she's so active in trying to find who's been eliminated what's your thoughts on Melissa's strategy I think she's just really stressed and so she just overdoes it's like you know how when we were when we were watching the New Zealand Traders and we were covering that and we were talking about in the in the voting banish when the banishment whatever when Matt was

8:01 Voted off and when we were talking about how he tried to explain like I come here like I'm stressed I got a workload blah and I was saying like you know how he like overexplained it which is very typical of somebody lying I feel like that's exactly what Mel's doing like she's over everything she's trying to do to seem faithful she's doing it so much to the point that it's like unnatural it's like if you did it a little bit like very subtly it's like that's just what a faithful would be doing but when you're like trying so hard it's just like bro like you don't look like you're a faithful you look like you're trying to act like a faithful yeah you know there such a good point you know like how far can you go trying to prove something right because we see often that even some of the like the faithful they're trying so hard to prove they're are faithful you know something that happened in Tres Australia for example is Luke you know he's one of the greatest survivor players of all time he was a faithful and he was heavily defending someone and one of the greatest points he had was why would I go so far out of my way to protect this one person when you know because if I was a traitor why would I bring all that heat and attention to me and I think that's actually like a

9:21 Great point to make which something we'll talk about you know for the banishment is why would someone who brings so much heat and like guess self-destruct to the game or so much attention but that's such a ly you could you could be a Traer and accidentally mess up like for example Mel right like she's overdoing it and so she looks like a Trader right and then she could be like well if I was a traiter like why would I make it look like I'm a tra you know what I mean like you could always use that as a line like yeah why would I say that I think it's this person when it's going to mess up my game if I was a traiter and like I feel like as soon as you use the reverse like iology then no bro like yeah anyone can say that like it makes sense but it also like any it can make sense for anyone to say it true and to be fair one of the Traders I know you haven't seen it yet hush but I definitely want to show the season because it is wild one of the Traders was kind of playing like a similar strategy like everyone's saying it's me everyone saying it's me and that's why it's not me because this is what the Traders want and so yeah but anyways it was quite funny because when Fierce walked in I'm not sure about you heish but I didn't recognize them without their long blond ha I was thinking

10:41 Wait is there another person on this cast but no it was be was they hair blonde I thought it was like silver I'm so color blind silver blonde even I don't know now oh my gosh no but like I recognized it was fierce straight away cuz like it's the only person I didn't recognize you know what I mean but then it s but then also like their voice is just kind of like distinguishable but yeah they definitely look different without the makeup and the hair yeah and I mean I don't know about you but I was kind of convinced I was convinced that F was eliminated I don't know why I just thought F eliminated cuz Kevin who's got you know a master Target on his back you've got Erica the Survivor winner you know and plus they kind of formed a three with Koozie in the first episode so I thought okay Koo is gonna try and protect those two but then it comes down to Kevin and Erica when F walked in I was like oh Kevin's gone yeah W youning on the podcast heish how could you sorry I'm just I actually can't think of anything funny

12:02 To say but yeah what going say what is your thoughts on Erica being eliminated I think that you know the show will move on and she will move on because she's just going to go home and you know take comfort in her 1 million Traders Survivor dollars yeah I obviously you haven't seen you know American Survivor so I was I was a bit sad to ER could go because I feel like with the season she was on a lot of people looked down on that season mostly because of how things were edited specifically and she herself while she was the winner of that season she was kind of like you know massively under edited especially during the Prem merge and so I think with ER so like with Eric being on the show I was quite excited to see what she could not necessarily prove she doesn't have to prove her anything she's got a million dollars from Survivor right but I think as a fan I would have loved to see more for you know strategy in her social game con to Michael this is exactly why you don't watch American Survivor because now I wasn't L down by it

13:22 Because there was a player her name was Michelle she won season 32 Kong but everyone believes well not everyone it's one of the biggest Survivor debates that Aubrey who was the runner up deserve to win over Michelle so when she came back and win us at War she was like you know I have to prove that I deserve my win and I'm a great player and yeah she played a great game she was a massive Underdog pretty much the whole way through and I was hoping for a similar story to Erica where maybe you know she could have been like you know what people look down on my win but I deserve to win and here's why same goes with Chris Underwood on the challenge at the moment he's a guy I think I told you about him where he got fed out very early but then he came back and only played like six to eight days of Survivor and one out of 39 and a lot of people looked down on his wind but he but he's back in the challenge now and yeah he's doing really well so yeah really disappointed for Erica but I'm glad we got to see her again on another reality show and I hope we get to see her come back what was your thought on Erica overall I told you earlier that when we were watching it like I probably wouldn't actually have made the joke because like you know I can think before I speak but like I

14:42 Would have had the desire when we found out that Erica was the one who was eliminated to be like shame bro but that would be like such like people would think you're a traitor yeah I don't know bro like I haven't really got attached to any of the contestants yet so I don't really you know doesn't really sway me if I if anyone was eliminated or even banished for that matter at this point I'm just kind of like okay you know would definitely getting to the point that it's starting to heat up a little bit more but like at the beginning of this episode before a lot of the dramas happened with Colin and Donna Don like I was thinking that Rick seemed kind of cool but then by the end of the episode I was just like Rick is such he's so dumb bro like I yeah so no he's not dumb that's not fair but like he's like he's very like in on the drama you know and I'm like that's just not very me yeah so yeah I don't know I think I haven't found my Dan SL Julia yet fair enough fair enough well you may not found your dance s Julia yet but we do get some pretty chaotic gameplay

16:02 From a lot of a lot of the contestants and we'll start off with Colin obviously Colin was banished at the end of the episode and it starts off with Colin saying if you I think he said it in a car actually if you feel like voting for me well vote for me you'll just find out that I'm a faithful and you know obviously say it don't say it obviously we're going to talk about you know smartest move of the week but it just happened to be ironic that in the second episode or the second week of Traders New Zealand your girl Julia said something here's the thing though here's the thing when Julia did it was it was smart because you know she didn't get voted off when Colin did it he tried to pull a Julia and he failed yeah well not just a Julia he tried to pull an Anna as well by saying I swear on my kids life and he well he said I swear on my children but yeah but he failed that as well so yeah it's kind of a desperate move to make when you think about it like so early on in the game like at least when Anna it said it I'm pretty sure was near like thean boot or something like that something that was already getting pretty late into the game where she's

17:22 Already built a reputation for herself like you know everyone obviously sees as a faithful so her that sort of makes you even more faithful what would you swear on oh to be fair like if it's a game I always see things as a game right so what happens in the game stays in the game like you outside of life you know who really cares but I don't know because I've got so many things I can definitely swear on that Mak sense to me and like you know the Bros like you and some of my close friends but everyone would just be like what like I'd be like I swe it doesn't matter what other people think like what are you swearing on all right okay so if I was to prove my innocence right as a faithful I would swear on my belief of Bigfoot which to those that don't know you know hey a Traders Canada there could be a Sasquatch out there I strongly believe in Bigfoot I would swear on pohoy valleys which for those who may not know but I am a massive chalky milk addict people are addicted to gambling smoking alcohol so many things PG-13 podcast it's a PG-13 podcast and make even

18:42 More PG-13 I love chocolate milk I love chocolate milk so much and my favorite I guess brand is poy Valley chocolate I did an estimate actually on Monday on how much money I spend on poho valleys each week and it came to about $45 to $50 Bro think not a s save but not a single scent was wasted all right not a single scent was wasted I drank and enjoyed every single drop fair enough is so those are the two things you'd swear on I feel like those are probably the only things that really matter to that really matter to me personally so if you hear me swearing on that it's like okay this guy's being serious but like you know if I was to swear on anything else yeah okay well I've got I got three things I would swear right so the first one is family blackberries in particular eating them out of a can sponsor me please we're both just doing like sponsorships for our favorite products what second thing I would swear on is the existence of the lydian

20:03 Mode I [ __ ] it mess it up I love it I just the sharp four it just makes me happy every time and the last the third thirdd thing the most important thing I would swear on is personal ultimate no you stop that right now okay so all right you know I'm I know we mean to be talking about trailers but we've got to address this all right so while because H we watch episodes together right and while we're watching it I can't say how we're watching it but basically there was this one ad that kept popping up it was personal ultimate it sometimes there'll be like three ads in a row and it was the exact same ad that keept playing over and over again I'm pretty sure like there only two different ads that played the whole time I watching the episode and one of them was pil and I don't even know the other one simply just because p played so many I'm pretty sure today it was for this episode it was just p and just p and yeah we had two different ads last time and then and then so at the beginning you would just be like oh this again and I wouldn't say anything I was just thinking like I'm just internalizing the while

21:23 That's a lot of ads and after a while when we when we both got vocal we went in the opposite dire itions you were like I'm so done with this ad and I got like yes personal ultimate normally I always see the joking things and I love it but oh my gosh I was so sick of this ad I was so sick of it I don't know on personal ultimate well look at us we're literally giving so many sponsorships and no one's even paying us to give the can everyone who's ever used the lydian mode in a song please give me a sponsorship okay moving on let's move on before any sort of random sponsorship things does start happening so we do see a bit of strategy here from is his name Rich Rick for some reason I thought was rich yeah from Rick where he pointed out that Colin said in the previous episode that he doesn't want any of the reality dos to win so that'll be your big brother players your Survivor players you know Mickey he's from The Amazing Race and simply just because he wants someone who's I guess bit more normal

22:43 To take out the wi to get the money because the money would have like a huge impact on them and this is an argument that I actually haven't seen like I've seen it talked about in the fan base but I've never actually seen it make it onto the show the whole idea of who really deserves the money right because there's always a mixture of people from different economic statuses in life what's your what's your thoughts on this argument that the colum was trying to make bra's got an opinion I don't not want people with money to win it but I think that it's nice if people who don't have the money to begin with get it like it's maybe more heartwarming but if somebody who doesn't really need it got it I wouldn't be like oh man like they didn't deserve it I'm so angry I'm GNA go type up a Blog about why this person didn't deserve the money like bro just yeah you have an opinion good for you bro yeah I felt the same way because when it comes to these games I personally like you know the money is great right it really is and it can be lifechanging but I always see it as not about that or it's not about that it's all about like who

24:03 Yeah it's about the game who played genuinely like the best game who got there right because if you bring stuff from you know out of life and everything like that you know so many like the game will be impacted in so many different ways and we've seen American Survivor even be impacted that way as well for good and for bad and so I think that what was I going with this yeah I think like just only have yourself F like focus on the game and like who generally does deserve the title like you know the winner or something because it's like you deserve the money because like you're not somebody with heaps of money but like I would vote for you at every banishment you know so it's like what should you win just because you deserve it heck no I'm banishing you Michael i' I'd B you too you know no but I would get people against you can write my name on the Slate but like you're I'm banishing you no I don't know man I don't know we'll have to put it to the test Traders blood versus water put H and ey on so we can just blood versus water is like a family season by the way yeah but that we not family though we could pass off as family if I just grow

25:23 A beard out I would just tell people we're not I feel like sorry like don't put me on the same as this guy I'm not but be there should be a trador podcast this season yeah definitely what goingon to say and with Colin saying this it put a lot more suspicion on him the fact that he says you know he doesn't want the reality stars to get the money in the end and the person who was first eliminated was Erica a Survivor winner which I feel like bro people are so dumb like obviously he wouldn't do that if he were a traitor like people like people are so thick people don't understand how to strategize it's like they see like the most straightforward obvious thing it's just like oh that this is no way shape or form like a bait this is definitely not like a ruse to like divert our attention it's like bro he obviously he wouldn't vote for her after saying that as a like he wouldn't eliminate her as a traitor after saying that like no like you'd have to be like a Robbie to do that you know like he and to be honest when Robbie was a traitor she wasn't even that bad like yeah she was pretty decent people are just so

26:43 Dumb do we think now you know there something that I just thought of so we've mentioned before that colum was trying to pull a Julia he tried to pull an Anna but do we think all along he was trying to play the intentional Robbie [Laughter] where it just causes so much chaos around him that people just like bro he's not he's not a Julia or an Anna or Robbie he's a Colin he cined the whole way he is his own he is his own fish yeah but we quickly move on to the challenge it was quite challeng similar to what we had here in New Zealand where they get you know a few people you know to be sent away and they have to communicate through Clues and walkie-talkies with the groups trying to find them but there was a Twist Hamish where the people who are I guess you know like kidnapped or taken away were buried alive in a coffin would you like what would you prefer to do being the person who you know was running around finding the clues to find their grave or the person being buried alive absolutely

28:04 Every time to be the person that was buried alive Jay really yes dude because then you can just lie there in the darkness be alone not have to worry about anything every now and then you hear hey we need a clue and then I could just go oh Adam and Eve something about an apple tree and then just yeah and then you just there you can just think you're in peace you know you don't have to worry about [ __ ] flipping socializing and saying things you can just be away from people bro Oh What A Dream yeah I if I was buried alive with a Chucky milk I'll would be perfectly fine with it like I'd be like yep I don't care how long I'm in there for that's all good if you were buried alive without the walkie-talkie for like 20 minutes you'd go insane if you were buried alive with a phone you would be spam calling me and everyone yeah I'll be sending CR like you know several different voice messages few different voice messages actually that would be pretty funny I'd just be on the walkie-talkie the whole time just talking about everything I would turn it off if I'm finding these Clues myself that's it's like the scene in Brooklyn 99 where Jake and HT

29:24 You know the undercover and the this guy who's in this fan he's on walkie-talkie with them he just doesn't stop talking and he just like talks about everything he sees and everything and but they're trying to be undercover with like this crime Lord but in the end they're like CJ shut up just give away Theos because the guy just won't stop talking they'll defin be made if you were buried alive and I was on the other end of your walkie-talkie I'd be like Michael you have the walkie-talkie to give us the clues like I'm not going to pretend to want to talk to you right now kid but was it was quite a fun challenge but we do see though some people start to panic as well you know with the claustrophobia have you ever potentially been in a situation like this where you've been in like you know really tight space and had to be there for a long time so last time that I was being buried alive no I think that I think that like in primary school you know there's like yellow tubes in the playground like I found that if you were in one but your arms were by your side rather than in front of you like that would feel pretty

30:44 Like uncomfortable but in general no like I'm pretty like I like Open Spaces I definitely like I dislike clutter but I wouldn't say that like I am a claustrophobic person yeah the only thing I've got really to compare to this is you know as H can tell everyone the elevators my power building aren't the best and one point the elevator stopped working and I was in it and I mean it was all right it was fine it wasn't that bad but definitely like after like I'd say probably like you know 15 minutes I was starting to keep but like okay I'm annoyed that I'm stuck here so yeah I know somebody that was in an elevator that like dropped the floor or something while they were in it oh really like I think they were like at ground level and they went in and they like clicked to go up or something and then it dropped to the basement oh wow I mean this happed to meet once before as well but it didn't drop like all the way to the basement I think it just dropped like two floors or something and then I stopped two floors yeah damn well that's more than grounded basement so you went up then I

32:05 Do just saying W that was that was such a cool that was such a cool segment of this podcast it was you're welcome you Ron you're welcome right but let's move on the blue team however could not find their friend sadly and yeah even I dig them up for them how sad they missed out on 3K what would how would you feel if you missed out on 3K heish I would probably go to the workplaces of each of the people in The Blue Team and I would just start leaving like Post-it notes around just saying like I want my 3K dud I don't know like here's the thing right it likely hood is if you if you're a faithful and you get to the end and you vote out all the Traders successfully maybe there are like three of you and let's say you're splitting $100,000 so what you've got like 33,000 each like that's a lot of money still

33:26 And the difference with that like 97 so what you're getting like $32,000 instead like at that point like I don't actually care to be honest so if it happened all the time then the prize thing at the end was like 50,000 as opposed to 100 like that's but the three I mean I don't really care and like we said before like it's more about the experience than the money yeah not that the money isn't great yeah and we do get a great quote actually from F where they said you know we come in and once again there's dirt and rocks everywhere I'm so sick of all this manual labor Fier did say that you're not lying to our audience yeah that was a great quote I really laughed but we get back to the Mana and you know I especially after last week I was set up for this whole Melissa B against Kevin right like is either of them going to surv CU there was a lot of heat on them but just magically there was no heat on them whatsoever CU it all became about Colin and Donna so Fierce was told that Colin told Donna and Dom we get introduced a guy named Dom

34:46 That so that Colin told Donna and Dom that everyone was throwing up their names and they need to go to the group and basically save themselves but when Colin denies these accusations from Fier F goes and grabs Fier goes and grabs Donna right and then you know they're talking with Donna they're talking with dom and turns out Donna got it wrong she like misunderstood yeah she misunderstood what Dom had said yeah flipping Dorothy from Wizard of Oz looking getting it wrong it was so funny and like I love I loved F's episode at first was like I just wanted to bring this argument you know to a head but AO just accidentally just caused so much drama and chaos and I loved it I loved how much chaos and drama came from this one incident yeah you're like the opposite of me bro I'm like I just go stay away from that and you was like yes conflict yeah conflict and yeah there was so much drama about all this about Donna and be so easy to vote out bro yeah I will forward toing you

36:06 I will I will blow up my own game straight up but yeah so who whose side were you on really in this whole argument between Colin and Donna so Donna had heat on her because she was a part of the drama but not necessarily because there was like a whole lot of like heat directed at her at least not with in this particular episode right like it was more directed at Colin and so she was just kind of like suspicious as like an extension of him and so there was all this suspicion going his way and because he you know a lot of that not all but a lot of that suspicion came from something he said which was completely misconstrued and because he's a faithful I did feel pretty bad for him so I wasn't really taking aside because like they're both all goods and they're both faithfuls but like you know I felt pretty bad for him like I didn't want him to get I was hoping that they would at the round table be like hm like this seems like some big drama you know where was this coming from and maybe start throwing some votes fierce's away and I know Fierce is also a faithful

37:26 But like it just it just seemed so like it just reminded me of the Julia and King's thing where it was like this big distraction you know yeah you're absolutely right it was a ginormous distraction but it was a distraction that kind of had to be sorted out right then and there right and so we get to the round table and it basically was just colist Donna the whole time and Koozie we haven't talked enough about her but she has a great quote which is I don't think Colin is a traitor because he's too careless of what he says and you know intentional Robbie right you know she's you make you make too many mistakes people think you're a genuine that you're just a bad a bad faithful and not a bad traitor I see where you're going with this yeah any the thing is I'm not call it the smartest move of the week because he got banished I'm not I'm not jumping on board that train all right so we get to the Bo and it pretty much is a slam dunk on colum with just Crystal Melissa B oh no hang on it's just

38:46 Crystal Colin and Koozie I believe who voted for Donna but not voted for Colin and yeah Colin gets banished yeah what did you think of Colin overall I think the I think he was an outspoken person but I don't think he was like a bad person or anything he seemed like an all Goods guy I think that he was just kind of like a very direct person and like you know quite a you know maybe like certain people see him as intense you know I think he was fine to be honest he just he just said a few of the wrong things yeah I think so too he was he was a fun character what he last did as you know I love people destroying their own games I find it very entertaining and so I loved that he went in there he tried to play like at times he was coming off bit aggressive where he was like I am a faithful I swear on my kids's life that I'm a faithful I don't think that he I don't think that he did anything that stupid though like yeah sure he like blew up his own game but like honestly I'm like literally bro like a lot of the

40:07 People being like yeah it's definitely Colin because of this reason I don't think that was as much Colin playing poorly as much as it was the RIS being so dumb like I'm sorry like I get that we can see as the audience that he's a faithful so it's easier for us to be like oh obviously he's not a faithful and like so perhaps that's a bit nitpicky you know it's not always obvious for the people playing the game but like I think that this should be an exception like he I'm pretty sure that was obvious he wasn't a traitor like he was playing kind of how almost how like a slightly more aggressive and less put together where as how Brody was playing and Brody was so obviously a faithful you know he's just passionate and he's in there and it's like that's not how Traders play you know generally and like I just and it was so obvious that particularly by the end of that when there was the misunderstanding as well and I'm not saying that means Donna is a Trader and that was intentionally done because obviously it wasn't intentionally done but it just looks like a big distraction that the that the Traders have probably fit into or at least you know kind of profited over you know like they've been like well fine let it happen you know and that is what happened

41:27 So like in moments like that like that's the perfect time to be like what are the others doing who else is saying or not saying things like where did others stand in this like for example like Fierce is somebody I would be looking at not that I think Fierce I mean if I was playing the game not that I think Fierce necessarily is the traitor I not that I would think f is the traitor because that's also pretty bold FS had a big role in kind of orchestrating that drama and that would be pretty bold for a Trader to do but like fce would be somebody on my list or you know the people who were kind of involved but not really you know people who are kind of like standing around and observing and maybe having a bit of input or being a part of it but not saying a lot like those would be the people I'd be eyeing up but like people like Colin like he played dumb in a way but like honestly I think you're Dumber to vote for him yeah I think vote for Donna as well I think you know because obviously you know the episode is like you edited and stuff so we only see you know very specific things but I actually Wonder Maybe when they found doubt there was all big misunderstanding how much time they had left before they went to the banishment right because lot yeah because then it's kind of like okay where

42:47 To from here then right because you know Donna's name has been thrown around so much Colin's name has been thrown around so much there's you know little mumbles of you know Melissa and Kevin from the previous episode but you've got two names have just been out there the whole entire day well I'm not sure you know how many days on per episode I know with New Zealand was literally like only 10 days the entire show for all 10 episodes and so it's kind of like an episode per day kind of thing so I'm not sure what the time frame is like for Traders Canada but I actually wonder how much time they have before the banishment because there's not a lot of time it's like well we can't do anything about it if that makes sense yeah I would have been at the round table and I would have prompted other people to point out somebody else and not mention somebody myself because that's risky but I would have been like guys like you know clearly there was a misunderstanding like maybe they are Traders maybe they're not who really knows obviously the Traders do but like this honestly seems to me like a distraction which the Traders are benefiting from like I've not got somebody in particular but I really don't think it's them like does somebody else has anybody else noticed somebody or something that they think is worth mentioning and

44:07 I probably would word it slightly differently than that because I think even that can look a little bit sus because it almost looks like you're standing up for two Traders yeah you'd have to it the right way but like you just you'd have to it I guess you'd go off in the context of the conversation so it wouldn't look sus but like if you're sure in your heart that they're not don't I don't know I'm just mad at the faithfuls I just think that I want to watch more of this and I want to see which of the faithfuls are actually on to it because I think that a lot of them are probably not yeah some of them might be it's a hard thing because you can definitely do the speech like you know what you just said but then it's kind of like okay who do we vote then like you know who are we going to vote out then if we're not voting out either these two who are gonna you can do a lot of little things like that though like when you're saying like you know does anybody else have somebody like who you look at and like whether you make eye contact with people during certain parts of what you say for example if you aren't making eye contact and you resume eye contact when you're making a point like that often hits people a lot so

45:27 Yeah at this point you should have analyzed enough to know the people who are likely to be throwing names out there who are those sorts of people and so as you're saying things like you know does anybody have like another like name that they want to suggest look at the person that you think is probably going to throw out another name like there and there are so many little ways you can prompt people like kind of with like little psychological things like it's like as somebody who is maybe relatively outspoken on the podcast but like a massive introvert really in as somebody who's a massive introvert in general it's like you learn how to make people speak you know how to make people just talk and be like I'm just going to sit and do the listening like it's there yeah it's easy enough to just make other people talk at you yeah and that's why I send you like you know 20 minute voice messages because you're just so good at making me talk you don't have to do that I will I always will cuz I know how much you appreciate them so but we get a segment at the very end where I was a little bit shocked by this because I no idea where it's going but we get Magic Mike say guys I'm not really a magician I was likeing I was so confused what

46:48 What is he doing what is this game here it's like it's like doubling down on like a lie like some people lie about their profession but then just you know guys I was long about my about my profession it's all good like what comes to mind is Tony from season 20 Kagan he was a police officer he doesn't want people to know he's a police officer so he said that you know he's a construction worker but then you know during the tribes up he's like okay guys I trust you I'm not a construction worker I'm a police officer it's fine that's fine but when like even other people on the other tribe sort of figured it out he wasn't really a construction worker he like doubled down on the construction work at Li and he just kept going with it and one of my favorite moments actually from That season is when Jeff is talking to Tony and Jeff is like so Tony how is like you the gam of Survivor like you know with your work it's like well in construction there's you know a lot of strategy and a lot of trust he like huh how so and he's like oh you know cuz one day you might have a tour there but the next day it's gone so it's like who took who took the toour and yeah so anyways I thought Mike was potentially going to go down a similar route but no he doubles down by being like here's some fun magic woohoo

48:08 He says I'm not a magician and then he's like no I'm just kidding I obviously I'm a magician do you want to see some magic tricks yeah and I was having you know think about it is actually so smart he doing all these different magic tricks in front of all these people and getting them entertained and you know people to love him cu no one will think he's a faith not a faithful no one will think he's a traitor you say that and look it's the fact that he is a magician for a career doesn't necessarily make him a traiter but the fact that he's able to deceive in that way like I you know that makes him a good candidate which isn't a reason to think somebody's a traitor if anybody's watching this and then goes on to play Traders at any point just because somebody is a good candidate it doesn't make them a traiter but yeah I mean I feel like that would not put him on my radar as an I think he's probably a Trader but like that I'd be alert to that I'd be like okay this guy is able to deceive people when he says things to me I should probably be really reading into it he may be a faithful but it's worth reading into you know what I mean and so because he's a traitor that doesn't matter really I mean he's I guess if his game works it works but oh it actually does work because the faithfuls are stupid that's fine and what I was going

49:28 To say cuz I know something about Survivor especially as well is that if you're insanely like Luke you're pretty much guaranteed to survive the early days of any season because no one wants to vote out the super likable person it's like with mad do TR would eliminate you though true but I mean if you are a Trader and you're insanely likable then that's a really good thing true cuz he's a Trader yeah it's a really good thing but let's move along towards the end of the episode so we've got our elimination suspects in the traitor Tower so we've got traven because oh first of all you know they brought up how they want to eliminate someone who bring a lot of shock to everyone you like eliminate someone who definitely is a faithful and I love how they brought up Trevon because last week we were talking about how Trevon right now is probably the faithful of all faithfuls because he almost got medically evacuated during the mission with his asthma so it's like why would a traitor why would a traitor do that only if faithful would do that and so yeah but unfortunately we might lose Trevon we might lose Mickey

50:48 He's from the Amazing Race or I'm so sorry I've no idea how to pronounce his name but nalia I think that's how you say let me have a look on the website again yeah nalia so what's your thoughts on those three suspects H I think that Nikki was in The Blue Team right yes he's the guy with like the sort of man bun oh no not Nikki then was it nalia then she was in The Blue Team right yes yeah so bro isn't gonna get suspected as a Trader probably and was picked by the tra like the traders in the little in the conclave they said that the Bro seemed like somebody who is going to continue to you know not be very contributing to making money for the team so I think that you're basically killing two birs with one stone one is that you're getting rid of somebody that is not going to make as much money that's not like the only that's not really the reason I think you should be eliminating people as a traitor but because they also seem like somebody who won't

52:08 Get banished it's a good call right yeah like unless somebody who's actually like a serious threat and you need to eliminate right then and there and I don't think there is at the moment like get rid of like you know do both things I think that seems like the best elimination not that I think that's what's going to happen I don't know to be honest we were pretty wrong last time so we'll just see but swag elicious but you know we can't have this be mkey Tech podcast without the smartest move of the week H do you want to do the singing or the beat I'll do the beat oh you got your guitar this is say live performance so I'll just play some chords and then you can just sing over it okay you ready yeah sounds good one two three [Music] four it's the smartest move of the week so don't feel too B here on the nullified take we're ready to bake it's the smartest move of the week the smartest move of the week we are excited to give you the smartest move of the

53:32 Week those oh you hear how we go to the relative e oh my goodness that's so crazy bro so crazy man so crazy learn modes all right I want to hear from you what your smartest move of the week is because obvious of the week was this is just simple for me like so I wouldn't I wouldn't personally if they were like I need a volunteer in the heaven City I wouldn't be like take me like I'm just sorry I like to think things through but that's why I'm not as smart as the Bro who was just like because the Bro without even needing to know she got to be buried alive and as I said earlier that would have been the most relaxing chill like you could just be like by yourself thing and like from like a like a I would like to do that standpoint like that just sounds like the go but also from a strategic standpoint she didn't have to risk you know potentially messing up the challenges are not performing right because you know as we've just kind of mentioned right beforehand that could be the reason for the next elimination by the Traders you know

54:52 Underperformance in the challenge and so yeah I think that my smartest move of the week is the take me is that from Donna N it was I actually can't think of her name now go back and watch the episode all right I've yeah hang on I'll quickly send you to the cast but isn't like a photo of everyone it is Canada c i no that's not how that's how you spell cats I just sent the link on Facebook oh wow amazing that's so cool that's really cool while I'm searching this you should tell me what your thing is okay my smartest move of the week right now I want you to hear me out on this right I want you to hear me out so D Donna's drama and confusion right well I've we got two smartest moves of the week one's actually bit more genuine the other one is just you know a intentional Robbie but I found with Donna she obviously accidentally put the tiget on Colin right because she was while there was already a small tiget bre I feel like her telling everyone oh yeah like he told

56:12 Me that you know my name's been thrown out there I see myself and say with dom like you know she was spreading all that around and stuff spreading all that around just to find out that Dom was never actually like H Dom never said that like there was just a misunderstanding and I feel like in that moment All Eyes could have just been like on Donna right because it's like wow you lit you made up a lie and all that sort of stuff and maybe taking her out instead of column but now she was able to you know escaped by that and I think that sort of proves that she's a faithful in a weird way and I think another smart move of the Colin got voted out as a faithful now so now she's a Target well I don't think she's a Target because similar to Vander right when Mike when Mike Padu got banished right where you know where you know the New Zealand Colin was going hard after Vander about her being you know train and stuff like that and she stuck up for Mike and everyone's kind of like oh I think you're more of a faithful now he's stuck wait no sorry I just realized they completely two different scenar yeah the same thing it was Melissa a by the way she was the one who was like so I'm pretty sure so yeah that's a

57:32 Thing those I have one more though like a good one okay and it's by Fierce I think Fierce really driving this narrative in sure that because you know first mentioned that you know they were in the sort of we like alliance with you know Erica and given right I think that there could be some kind of reality stars alliancing going on where kind of like you know we've kind of got each other's backs for now right until you know proven otherwise so I think with this whole drama and Chaos that first brought a heavily diverted the attention away from Kevin which I think we can both agree after the first episode if they had to banished right then and there K would have most likely been banished I mean it would have been close between K and Melissa but I think K definitely would have been sent out from just how hard he was playing so I think there causing all this drama and chaos especially around Donna Colin and Dom specifically those three names just over and over again even after was kind of shown that like oh it's it was just a misunderstanding they still drove that narrative and so yeah those are my two choices all right my second choice then just to throw like a spanner into the works

58:52 Cuz this is going to take the cake bro take the cake right I'm excited well I'm Michael but the people who made the breakfast buffet they put croissants onto the table and people looked at them and they were like ah French cuisine and they thought back to the fact that host is a French Canadian and then they thought as they were eating breakfast about the atmosphere and the environment she creates and she creates this she's trying you can see that she's trying so hard to make the players paranoid with everything she says and how she says it right and so I've got no idea where you're going with this man shut up I'm trying to trying to keep my composure you're not helping Li him cook him by putting croissant on the table they it was a subconscious thing that by putting croissant on the table they made the players paranoid so that this drama would happen today and so the people which

1:00:14 Created the break buff they saved Kim gosh I'm not I'm not sure what you put in your croissant this morning it's definitely not you understand what I'm saying right yeah I understand what you're saying but I think it's Kevin wasn't voted off because of croissant oh my gosh [Laughter] no changing my vot I think no we can't head we got this just like your one to mission for that one Trader New Zealand but it's like we should thank like what Julie's parents or Julie's grandparents the riddle like pretty Whatever Whenever they made it yeah no I'm sorry BR I don't I don't think we can no okay what were your two again mine was the Donna one and

1:01:34 The fierce drama I'm pretty sld on the Don the F on Fierce I'm actually kind of s on Fierce did Fierce eat any of the croissants I mean probably it's aant it's the first one then the first one all right but when we come back to the end of the season and we say the smartest move of each week to so as to pick the smartest move of the game we need to include while we're explaining the fierce one that Fierce eight the croissant of paranoia you I'm happy to change that Fierce e crance which gave them so much power and so much mation to no the cause drama of because they were paranoid it's the it's the croissant of paranoia Michael SP another hour just arguing over the name of the CR but that is the smartest Mo of the week the croissant paranoia the fierce a CA drama of yeah no we're changing the name for next week I'm sorry but
