SPEAKER_04 0:42

I wasn't that one where she supported the Pussycat dolls at like a Rod Labour.

SPEAKER_04 1:18

Yeah. But tell me about Mayhem. I need all your thoughts. Have you listened to her? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Of course. I loved it way more than I was expecting. I didn't realise that post-Joker 2 she would come out and be her best original self.

SPEAKER_04 1:35

Do you think Joker 2 was like planned as a little like to give contrast?

SPEAKER_01 1:40

Yeah, to be like at the output.

SPEAKER_04 1:41

To be like, look, I'm gonna do like this absolute like train wreck.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

Yeah, that would be covers, right? I did not engage in the Joker sort of thing at all. You don't even know. I love it. I actually didn't, I didn't, I know nothing except I saw the horrible outfits and I just couldn't engage with that. Did you watch it?

SPEAKER_04 2:00

Um yeah, I watched the movie. Didn't love it. She was like one of the better parts of that film, but I just feel it's one of those things that's like, let's just pretend that didn't happen.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Is that she's already making those jokes?

SPEAKER_04 2:14

Yeah, good. But that's because she's a fucking like real bitch.

SPEAKER_01 2:19

Yeah, that's why we love her. Facts. She's an Italiano, waggolina, um diva. Diva, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

No, but mayhem, yes. Um, I had low expectations for some reason. I've I've been a bit disengaged, like many little monsters, but came into it. Abricadabra turned me the fuck out.

SPEAKER_04 2:41

Abricadabra is radical. Like radical, yes. It's literally like they've taken all of her best bits and put them in one track.

SPEAKER_01 2:52

I'm just, is it the husband that the fiance that has gotten her back into her group?

SPEAKER_04 2:57

People are saying, I think she's getting dicked down.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

She's getting fucking dicked down, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:02

Yeah. And then the creative juices just started. I'm not gonna lie. The juices and the creative juices. All of the juices. I am not gonna lie, it's like still working its way with me. Like I'm here for disease and abricadabra, because they are like the dance bangies. Rest of it, I'm getting like rock musical. I'm getting Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_01 3:30

Oh, you mean killer? Yeah, yes, yes, killer. Wait, the third song is my favourite, I think. Which one's that? It's like all about temptation. Garden of Eden.

SPEAKER_04 3:41

Oh, yeah, no, Garden of Eden's good.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

Oh, and then celebrate celebrity.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

Yeah, that one's good.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

She's getting vulnerable.

SPEAKER_04 3:47

She is. It's just it's much more like the piano than I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be more are they like hard, like gay dance bangers, but there's enough of them on there to keep me satiated.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

You think it's a bit too theatre, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:03

And I'm not a I'm not a theatre gay. You're a weekend gay. Yeah, yeah. I'm stuck in like the 2010s when RB was cool. That's fine. But that's just me. And I just I think Chromatica is her masterpiece. That's yeah, I'm a yeah, big into that.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Oh, okay. I feel like I got really into alt experimental music in that time of my life when those kind when art pop chromatica came out. Um, so I I only know the periphery, you know. Yeah, but the fame, she you see her walk out on her first performance as Lady Gaga, and she's the exact same as she is now. The confidence, the image, the talent.

SPEAKER_04 4:48

No notes. No. I'm glad she's is she gonna come here with mayhem?

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Is she gonna bring a mayhem to I think it's been teased because she's doing the four days in Singapore.

SPEAKER_04 5:00

Well, it's not far if you wanted to. Well, I've been looking at flash. Oh, good. I was gonna say how much of a little monster are you?

SPEAKER_01 5:07

220 dollars scoot um direct.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Um worth it. No, but I think I I didn't see the interview, but my friend who is also a little uh monster um said that on the project she teased that she would come.

SPEAKER_04 5:24

She would come, yeah. They always they either guinea pig their tours with us like the weekend, or they hack us on at the end as like an afterthought. But never we're never like in the middle of a world tour.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

I mean Trixie and Katia, I feel like they their prime of their tour is Australia, and it's like yeah, they're always here. All the drag queens. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

Yeah, but who's gone to those to us now? Like it's yeah, not me. I'm a fan though, but I would yeah, I don't know. I just I just think the bubble has burst with the drag race tour circuit.

SPEAKER_01 6:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:01

Like big time.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

It's like hyper oversaturated.

SPEAKER_04 6:06

It's the blue hair girlies that go now.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Yeah. Bless the blue hair allies.

SPEAKER_04 6:11

I just need yeah, I need it inside of a gay club. That's where drag needs to be.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

I saw Alyssa Edwards at this like South Yara Gay Club was a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 6:21

Oh, stun. Yeah, when they do chases and shit, I'm cool. Yeah, it's when they do the exhibition center or whatever, and I'm like, way to kill the vibe. Like, sure, you're making millions, but like yeah. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

Anyway, we stand

Sawasdika

SPEAKER_01 6:40

nonetheless.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

Um, how are you feeling about White Lotus?

SPEAKER_01 6:44

Um, okay, I have a lot of thoughts. A lot of intersection with Survivor 2, we love.

SPEAKER_04 6:49

Yeah, well that's yeah, it's totally relevant.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

Um Swatikar. Swadika. Swatika. Kopgunka. Kapgunka. When they say that, I'm sure they say in Bridesmays and then like Kapgunka.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

Did that intentional bit? I'm pretty sure it was, because my quite a genius writer. But in the most recent episode, did Patrick Schwarzenegger's character say soastica instead? Yeah, he did. I knew it. He was like soastica, and I just I died because I'm like, that's definitely happened before.

SPEAKER_05 7:24

I actually said that today.

SPEAKER_01 7:26

Walked into a room and said swastika. No, I Adam was like, I'm going to Parada at yoga, a Thai yoga teacher. We love her.

SPEAKER_04 7:35

Yoga instructor. She's incredible.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

She is number one. But I because I type, I'm a really bad typer, and I was like, no, even with that, I'm just like a lazy kind of like typer. Yeah, you're a voice note girl. I'm a voice. Which I like. Yeah, well, gets you ready for the podcast, darling. Ding ding dong, darling. Just bringing out every pop culture reverence that I know for this podcast.

SPEAKER_04 8:03

But you walked in, Adam was like, I'm going to yoga, and you were like, ah, soastica.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

He was like, I'm at yoga, and I was like, soastica. And I was like, oh no. It's very easy to, it's just one letter. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

Swap it. Oops. It's good. I've come around because I don't know, I've every now and then I'll touch on this season of White Lotus on the pod, and I've been a little bit like not that into it, which isn't a hot take. A lot of people, you know, because it's of course you're gonna compare it to that last season, which was just like the best thing ever. But it's growing on me in this way that I wasn't expecting it to, where I actually think I'm the problem. Like I I wasn't paying enough attention before. Excuse you, little miss. Now I'm paying attention, I'm in, I'm enjoying it.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

I think that's how I also feel. It's all of the White Lotus seasons. I feel like people forget that at the beginning of the White Lotus seasons, there's so much incredible character build up that the first few episodes seem slow, even though you're gaining all this like rich knowledge of the characters.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

And that's what I feel like is happening in this season.

SPEAKER_04 9:19

Yeah, I think it's gonna make it. I think the end is gonna be like the best one yet, and we're all gonna be like fucking gagged.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

It's gonna be like we're gonna have a phobia of monkeys for the rest of our life, maybe.

SPEAKER_04 9:31

I mean, I already I hate monkeys. Like, have you ever been to one, you know, one of those monkey parks where they're just running around and it's like don't have any food in your bag. I'm like, no shit, but also like you don't even need to have like food on your person, they will just grab you anyway. It's disgusting. Did you do that in Thailand?

SPEAKER_03 9:51

Um I can't remember wherever. Bali?

SPEAKER_04 9:53

I feel like I've been to a few monkey parks, maybe Bali. Swatty car.

Australian Survivor Brains Vs Brawn II Week 4 Recap

SPEAKER_04 10:01

Alright, should we get into bloody Aussie Survivor, mate? Yeah. Yeah. How are you feeling about this season?

SPEAKER_01 10:08

Um okay. I I'm really enjoying this season. Yeah, good. Um I came into Survivor later in life. Okay. So I I I think I started watching it maybe two years ago, but I did a lot of Hello Friday. I did a lot of um past watching. Yeah. So now that I I'm coming into like new seasons, watching them in full is kind of anyway, that's boring. I'm really liking the season.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

And I think there's some really um annoying, funny, intriguing characters, you know.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

AJ comes to mind.

SPEAKER_01 10:50

Like what is he from Melbourne?

SPEAKER_04 10:52

I don't know. I hope not. Because I don't know. I gotta say, she's giving good TV, like, but it's not like it's kind of like almost at a George where like, but George is camp.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_04 11:08

It's like non-camp George, and he's just causing chaos for no reason, which like love that.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

Usually, but my problem he has like zero, he has zero sense of humor. Oh, zero or self-awareness, yeah. And he's just kind of I hate to bring it up, but he's like a classico straight white mouth fucking poker player. Yeah, the poker the cringe is real.

SPEAKER_04 11:32

The poker player of it all was never gonna land with me. But like, so is George. He's a poker player, so that's why that's and that's the similar vibe I'm getting. But then yeah, George also knows how to lull. And I think George was thinking further ahead in the game. Whereas AJ said she's like, what can I do this week to like rile everyone up and get screen time? It's like the fucking screen time wars, which is great.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

Yeah, it's interesting.

SPEAKER_04 11:57

DJ Kate also emerged this week. Finally, we finally got DJ Kate's clip package.

SPEAKER_01 12:03

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_04 12:04

DJ Kate.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

I don't know this.

SPEAKER_04 12:08

Please explain. Did you watch the show?

SPEAKER_01 12:10

Wait, DJ Kate, DJ Kate.

SPEAKER_04 12:12

Den double denim outfit.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

Oh my god, chaos.

SPEAKER_04 12:16

Oh my god, sorry. DJ Chaos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stunning D bar.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Gorgial interest. Like a success with her. She's from Melbourne. Is she? Yeah. Where were those super clubs mentioned?

SPEAKER_04 12:28

In that clip. I was like, that's not Melbourne. That's the JC, baby. There was like smoke machines and shit.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

It couldn't be Melbourne. Sydney?

SPEAKER_04 12:36

I don't know. Maybe, I mean, it just had like a beach club vibe.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Yeah. Yeah. I love the ridiculous outfit that she wore and has continued to wear throughout the entire season, is like a character in itself.

SPEAKER_04 12:51

It is. And because I'm assuming they only really get to have the one outfit.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

I don't think they get many options.

SPEAKER_04 12:57

They don't get many options, so she just went with that. She was like, Do you know what? Jeans is a top, it is. Woo!

SPEAKER_01 13:04

I love when people self-brand too. Yeah. Like, um, what's the girly pop from last season? The blonde one who won um and dated that Frio boy who has that skater label.

SPEAKER_04 13:16

That was the season before last. You're thinking of Liz. Liz. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:21

And she was just wearing like the branding of the shop the whole time.

SPEAKER_04 13:26

And I thought that guy was really hot, and then I like watched five seconds of his like content. I was like, oh no.

SPEAKER_01 13:32

It's like a known shop in Perth. In Northbridge, I think it is. Yeah. And it was I remember in high school it being like cool. It's aggressively Perth. It's aggressively Perth. Yeah. That's a that's the only way to that's all I have to say about it.

SPEAKER_04 13:48

Yeah, wow, you really stretched my like character knowledge then like two seasons ago normally, or like I guess she won. Yeah, I do forget, like, as soon as this season finishes, like I forget everyone.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

It's like you're in the grocery shop and you're looking at someone and you're like, where do I know you from? And it's just some random survivor player from five seasons ago.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

Yeah. Alright, let's start with Sunday night. Um Miles is stoked to be still with us in the game. How are you feeling about the jungle rat?

SPEAKER_01 14:23

Um okay, in preparation for this episode, I delved on Reddit a bit.

SPEAKER_04 14:28

Oh, tell me. Because I do not know.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

The people on Reddit are I think they watch too much Survivor is scary. What are they saying about they were talking about the jungle rat um terms? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:42

I saw a bit of this actually. Yeah. Some people were saying it might be a little bit racist. Yeah. And then that yeah, and last week and Max got a lot of online flack for that. And then Channel 10 had to intervene and put up a little sign being like, leave Max alone. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, no, I didn't say that. It's just said play nice, everyone. Gaggy. But I I heard that Miles said it was fine. He consented to the nickname Loves. He consented to James. Look at him. He's obsessed with Survivor. He loves having a nickname.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

I'm I like the little nerdy, like it pushes his um glasses on his up his nose every five seconds.

SPEAKER_04 15:19

He's biracial, he's bisexual, he's bi tribal.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

Oh. We love respect. Yeah, I'm I'm really liking the Miles arc. He's getting a lot of airtime. I feel probably he'll go kind of.

SPEAKER_04 15:32

Because he slipped through the cracks a few times. Because he's been. I mean, the edit anyway is at least telling us that people are always like going for him. But then I'm always like, are they though? Or do they have any support? So yeah, the edit suite are into miles. We're getting like a bit of a like scrappy unsung hero from him. Um unsung hero. Asking for him. Over at Braun. AJ is still being crazy. He um talks some crazy shit to Noonan and he's like, let's do merge. Love noons.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

She was Do we know, like, okay, sorry to interrupt. Yeah. But like, there's all these references to the Noonan family, the Noonan family. Who the fuck is the Noonan family?

SPEAKER_04 16:20

I believe they're from the Mornington Peninsula, which is why I don't know them. Because I don't fuck with the the peninsula.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

But are we meant to know who they are? Apparently. Are they footy players or something?

SPEAKER_04 16:31

I think so. I refuse to look it up because I enjoy the fact that Noonan, as in Noon's, will forever be the only one that I know and care about.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

No, she I'm really enjoying watching her go and thrive. She she feels like a natural player.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

Yeah, yeah. She's good. Um, alright, we get a reward challenge and I loved this. It was um the classic like knock the idol off the little platform one, which is cute. And it was for a trip to the Survivor Pub.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

Palmas, I don't fuck with. You don't fuck with Palmas? No.

SPEAKER_04 17:08

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

I I'm like, it's just chicken with some sauce. The fuck? What what's the appeal?

SPEAKER_04 17:15

Not even a Mexican Palmer? Like what was it? Is that with nachos? No, Mexican Palmer just has like a bit of guacan sour cream on top of it.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

See, like just give me just give me Mexican food. Yeah, totally. Without like a slab of dry chicken.

SPEAKER_04 17:31

It's really style. No, because you do you remember John from Australian Survivor, who the guy with the mullet, and his whole thing was a Mexican Palma, and then JLP put up a Mexican Palmer, like in the auction or something, and there was like a whole Mexican Palmer storyline.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

Um, I need to do more research about that, but I like that.

SPEAKER_04 17:52

It's canon.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

It's canon. I hope an auction comes up soon, actually.

SPEAKER_04 17:57

They always they always do an auction on Australian Survivor. There will definitely be one. Um, we did get the part you saw the pasta thing though, right? Yes, I saw the pasta. That's heaven, like where they do like one at a time and like everyone's touching the same fucking shit.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

Poor chaos DJ. She didn't even get a single meatball. The girl wasn't she did not deserve all those disgusting fingers. Imagine like how dirty their hands would be.

SPEAKER_04 18:24

Yeah, it's fucked. Oh but how good, like just the little set dressing of like the pasta bar.

SPEAKER_01 18:33

What would you go for if you were in that situation?

SPEAKER_04 18:35

Oh, look, to be honest, it depends on what number in the lineup I was. If I was like number one, I probably wouldn't even look for shit and I would actually just eat because I'm a hungry bitch. But if I was near the end, yeah, I would just like knock everything over.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

Like Miles did. Yeah, I mean it is a game for a lot of money. But yeah, I wonder how much you forget about your general self-image when you're on a show like that for so long. Do you just not I think you just give up? You just don't, you just give up, you don't care.

SPEAKER_04 19:09

Yeah. Um, Zara this week really showed us that she's the vice president of the PTA because she really turned into a fucking like principal, didn't she? Like her like yeah, parent teacher, yeah. That's what she and like if you forgot, now you you remember. Um she's like telling off Miles all the time cut for being chatty Kathy, because you know how Miles loves talking strat with everyone, and then everyone's always like, see what the game is, like calm down. I know, but he does sometimes like get a bit excited and he tells the wrong person something, and that's when they have to tell him off. But the way she does it, I'm like she's got an aggression. She does.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

She's a real estate agent, right? Is she or like a property mana property manager? Yeah, mate.

SPEAKER_04 19:54

She's got a very reality TV profession like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

She's scary. I wouldn't want to fuck with her.

SPEAKER_04 20:02

Yeah. Um, cut to later that night, Zara telling Miles off in front of Laura. Um, she's like, stop giving away all the info for free. Blah blah blah. Um Laura's like, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 20:15

Okay, let's talk about Laura.

SPEAKER_04 20:17

Yeah, go on. Laura's aura.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Laura's aura is my aura. That bitch.

SPEAKER_04 20:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:22

Obsessed.

SPEAKER_04 20:23

Um at the start, I was like, I'm gonna hate this because I hate witchy woo stuff, but what really? Yeah, it's not not for me. But I am digging her.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

A woman with a strong sense of intuition and power and confidence. Oh, we love. Especially when they've got witchy powers. She, I think she's a great.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

Do you think she could win?

SPEAKER_01 20:48

I think she could win. I think she'll witch her way to the end. But you would be so silly not to recognize that sh you would have you have to vote her out. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:00

So then we get to this immunity challenge and the throwing. Like everyone's everyone's throwing now. And it's like dung, darling. I kind of love this because it doesn't happen that much, especially in Australian Svive, because everyone's so obsessed with winning and like sports, and they always cast all these footy people, and everyone's like, Yeah, we're gonna win. So I kind of love that we've progressed to a place of no, let's like throw the challenges for fun. Um, JLP was not having it though, when he's like, Alright, kids, I'm gonna turn this car around and maybe we'll both go to tribal council. Did you catch that bitch? No.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

But I love the retelling.

SPEAKER_04 21:36

He lost it. He was like, Well, maybe we'll all go to tribal then if no one wants to win.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

I love the power of JLP. He's a great host. He's stunning. He do you know him? I'm British. Oh no. Um it's a shame because it kind of does kind of it it wrecks the arc of the strategy because if you're destroying the

SPEAKER_04 22:00

Challenges like AJ hasn't you you're you're whole you're withholding too much power within the group, which seems unfair, but I guess the hostage thing, like yeah, it like it's happened before, it's not original, and it's like yeah, kind of annoying. And I wish AJ would just give it up, but he's flogging it like a dead horse. Everyone's annoyed at him at the end of the challenge, Jesse or someone's like, send him home, like to the other side, and I was screaming that as well. I really thought that they would um get sick of his antics and send him home.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

This narrative has confused me. Um I guess they're not seeing everything that we're seeing. Yeah, the other people.

SPEAKER_04 22:41

Noons was so pissed, she's like, I was busting my balls out there, literally, because the challenge was throwing balls.

SPEAKER_02 22:47

Bless Honey.

SPEAKER_04 22:49

Oh my god. And she rolled her ankle as well.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

She was not doing well on that last season, on that last episode.

SPEAKER_04 22:56

Honey was hobbling around. Honey was not slipping. No, she was not slipping. AJ continues to be a terrorist. Um, Noons is so over it, she's like, fuck this. And she just starts going back at him. And I was like, I was like snapping yeah, yeah, yeah. Like D.Va.

SPEAKER_01 23:13

Yeah. Oh, she was saying everything that everyone else was thinking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:17

Cause it gets to a point where you're like, we get it, mate. Oh. You like love this, but calm down.

SPEAKER_01 23:24

It was just the most male thing.

SPEAKER_04 23:29

I just can't watching it, I'm like, how has everyone not just mobilized and just gotten in out? I know he played an idol, but like I anyway.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

I'm not sure. I think I don't know, maybe they're keeping him around because he's an easy vote off later.

SPEAKER_04 23:47

I think that's what they're thinking. Because look, mate, he's not gonna win. Like, if he's in the top three or whatever, no one's gonna vote. No one is gonna vote to give him half a million dollars. They're gonna be like that fucking annoying as fuck guy. Like, you still have to be likable.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

He's not charming at all, and that's what George has. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 24:06

Um Kaelin, he says, I fucking love Kaelin so much. Not only is he gorgeous, but this week he really like he really put his foot in it. I love he's like the golden retriever face over, and now it's time to be a sheep, a little sheepdog.

SPEAKER_02 24:24

And I was like, You are a little sheepdog, yeah. I've warmed to him.

SPEAKER_04 24:30

He's cute. I mean, he's kind of in the BG, just looking cute when he's not drip flying drones over Antarctica, but he's he's kind of yeah, it's gonna get to a point with him where it's like you're gonna have to make moves and you're gonna have to piss someone off. And I don't think he's ready for that.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

I I don't know if he has the capacity.

SPEAKER_04 24:51

No, he's too nice guy.

SPEAKER_01 24:53

He's too nice, he's too Aussie, Larrican, lovely boy, raised well.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

This is where it gets awkward because Paulie is standing right there, and they're like, Okay, oh, so we're gonna like split it this way and this way, and Paulie's like, um, okay, I'm right here.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

That was that was a hard watch.

SPEAKER_04 25:11

When Caitlin's like, you mean it's actually the other way around? Yeah. And then they were all like, dude, like don't sheepdog that hard. But anyway, I think AJ benefited from this chaos.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Yes. I guess if that's your role always, then chaos agent AJ.

SPEAKER_04 25:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

Um, Kaylin's going home soon, I think. Yeah, oh for sure. This was going on there.

SPEAKER_04 25:40

Yeah. This was when Paulie and Noons knew that like it's over for one of them. It was actually sad. So sad. Because I was like, they were my faves. And they had to have a tough conversation with each other where it was like, well, you know, if it's not you, it's me. So Sozgirl.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

Did you know if that was really I was like, come on, this there's a creative solution.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

That's what I thought. I was like, are they rolling over too soon? I guess they just like understand that they're in such a minority that there's no turning around.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

Yeah, it's uh I was, yeah, I'm really rooting for Paulie. Fuck yeah. Polly is a friend of the podi. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_04 26:22

Yeah, he's hot. He's so hot.

SPEAKER_01 26:25

Is he Greek?

SPEAKER_04 26:27

It's gotta be right, all Maltese or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

He's so hot.

SPEAKER_04 26:30

Who cares?

SPEAKER_01 26:31

And he's so gay. He's like coming out of the island.

SPEAKER_04 26:34

I love it. I love how fucking gay he is. It's the best. Yeah, he's not even trying to be mask. I live. No, oh he's mask is dead, baby girl.

SPEAKER_01 26:47

Yeah, obviously. Yeah, no, Paulie, and he's very intelligent, he's very charismatic. I really see him winning, also.

SPEAKER_04 26:58

He could win. And if he did, like that edit, are you kidding me? Like best arc ever, like on the bottom, like oh, that would don't get me too excited. And we are merging next week, so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

Wait, how are we are you friends?

SPEAKER_04 27:14

No, he's just we've been chatting. He's around, he's around. He's just engaging with the fandom love. Which is what you should be doing. We're working on it. Um, this is where Noonan tells us that being a Noonan means that you don't give up.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 27:30

Which again I say, Again, I don't know who your family is.

SPEAKER_05 27:33

It's confusing.

SPEAKER_04 27:35

Should we just look it up? It's like me being on TV and being like, being a Crimean. Oh no, someone told me they're like sports people, which is like my ears just close over.

SPEAKER_01 27:44

Yeah, I was that's probably why we don't remember because we just don't care.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

It's boring. But I did love her fight to the end, and I love that she was not afraid to just like give it to AJ. Loved it.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

She is a classical character. I feel like she would be back for an all-star. I think she's definitely back.

SPEAKER_04 28:01

I would love to see her come back for an all-stars.

SPEAKER_01 28:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 28:04

Well, Noonan is so good. Um, she tries to the last minute to turn it around, but unfortunately, it's not meant to be. Um she was dead. But this tribal was crazy. So firstly, um Hawley plays his idol, which I was like, oh my god, what's gonna happen? Plays it for himself, which I was like, yes, Queen, good choice. And then AJ, how good was this bit when like AJ like almost gets the idol out?

SPEAKER_01 28:32

She nearly, she nearly did it.

SPEAKER_04 28:33

She I when she was like she goes, Babes, babes, put it away. Oh that's no good, no good here. You don't great strategist. So good. How good, but also it could have worked out. Like I was screaming, like, yes, bitch, if this is how we lose AJ, like she's forever immortalized as like a qua. She is a qua. I mean, she's still qua. She's a qua. Yeah. Uh but no, it's the he plays the fucking idol, fucking AJ, plays his idol, um, and yeah, noons unfortunately gets uh sent out. But she leaves us with a like Ripples Drag Race level like exit line. She's like, I got rid of Nash the Rash. She planned that. Yeah, she she's like Miss Vanji at this point. She's like, itch the reach the itch, and no one's gonna forget Noons from the Ninch. I was like, stop trying to make the ninch happen, but also fucking love you, bitch.

SPEAKER_01 29:35

Say less than I've said it so myself.

SPEAKER_04 29:39

And then we got the best line of this week from Paulie, which was see you at Revs.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

Oh, I know. That was a niche comment that I I felt really sane with that.

SPEAKER_04 29:48

The way they left that in the edit, I was like, the Australian solver producers know what is happening.

SPEAKER_01 29:54

Yeah, so good.

SPEAKER_05 29:56

Jador.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Jador, darling. Seeing um all of them at Mardi Gras, the ones that I like together, yeah, says a lot.

SPEAKER_04 30:05

Yeah, it was like Kirby, George, Pauline, Paulie, yeah. That I fuck with that crew. One other gay.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

Yeah, all the gays. Yeah, and the alas. We love the allies.

SPEAKER_04 30:19

Alright, episode 11. Yes. We start an episode.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Okay, gaggy episode.

SPEAKER_04 30:25

Very gaggy this time. Gagatundra. Gagatundra. Post-tribal, there's chaos at camp. And this is when AJ is like talking to Karen and he's like, um, have you ever even seen Survivor?

SPEAKER_01 30:38

Girl.

SPEAKER_04 30:40

She's a doctor. She is a doc tar of medicine. She's a stunning Queen D. I wanted to jump through the screen and strangle that man.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

I think someone needs, like, someone just needs to belittle him a bit. He needs a little bit. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 30:58

He needs to be Queen Karen like that. Who do you think you are?

SPEAKER_01 31:03

I'm upset that she's not getting heaps of airtime either.

SPEAKER_04 31:06

But when she does, it's good quality. I love her facial expressions. She's like me. She can't, she has no poker face. She has no poker face. She just like it says it all. Yeah. So I like that about Karen. And she's hot.

SPEAKER_01 31:21

Yeah. I yeah. I'm here for her narrative. Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 31:27

But yeah, do you even watch Survivor? Is like, wow, dude. And he knows he's getting a rise from us.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

It's like, um, since what season five or something. You can't be on Survivor if you haven't watched Survivor. It doesn't work. It doesn't I wish they still did that, but it doesn't work like that.

SPEAKER_04 31:45

No, he was just being a troll. Um Paulie pretty much just like pleads his case to the tribe at this point. He's like, look, guys, work with me. Um, and he tries to appeal to their sense of like integrity. He's like, you know, like I want like a good guy to win at the end, and like we're all good guys. And and then he's like, Do you want like this chaotic bitch, AJ, to like win over me? Me? So I thought it was a good move because like what else have you got at this point? You're like on your own.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Yeah. I think he did everything that he could do. Yeah. He drew every card.

SPEAKER_04 32:23

This and this is when they all start referring to Paulie as a snake oil salesman.

SPEAKER_01 32:28

What? Can we just I had to Google that?

SPEAKER_04 32:30

I had to I please explain it to me. I I'm like, Is it like saying that you're at the bottom of the car salesman?

SPEAKER_01 32:37

Yeah, it's like you're selling something that isn't authentic. Yeah, it's like snake oil that's venom, right? I don't get that because he's giving genuine to me.

SPEAKER_04 32:51

He's giving genuine, and it's like feeding these people these bad analogies. I'm like, what is going on here?

SPEAKER_01 32:58

Is that like a 1960s turn?

SPEAKER_04 33:00

Hey, you're a real sneak oil salesman, kid. Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, but it wasn't the first because Karen says it first, which I'm like, okay, queen, but then later on, like, AJ says it, and I'm like, are you guys all just sitting around on the beach like cooking up lines? Do they have a little typewriter and they just like write the show?

SPEAKER_01 33:18

I I think a lot about um how much time these contestants spend with the camera people and the producers. Do you think they masturbate? You'd have to do it.

SPEAKER_03 33:32

But where? In the bush. Couldn't do it in the shelter.

SPEAKER_01 33:37

Girl. In the in the water? A bit dry. Yeah. I don't know. Yes. Like someone. No wonder everyone's so grumpy.

SPEAKER_02 33:48

Seriously wanking underwater.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

What happens? I hate to say it, but like obviously you have to poo.

SPEAKER_04 33:53

I think they definitely shit in the ocean. I would put shit in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

No. Yeah. What?

SPEAKER_04 33:59

I mean, maybe. Would that be hard to do?

SPEAKER_01 34:01

I've never shit in the ocean.

SPEAKER_04 34:03

No, I reckon they've got a little loo. No, not I can recall. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:09

But I don't think there'd be a toilet though. Would that?

SPEAKER_04 34:13

No, I reckon they're digging a hole.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

Yeah, there's a hole. Would you go on Survivor?

SPEAKER_04 34:17

Yeah, I would do it.

SPEAKER_01 34:18

Have you auditions?

SPEAKER_04 34:20

No, never. I want someone to be asked. I want someone to tap me on the shoulder, darling. We're doing a fans versus favourite season. And we need a sexy podcaster. That's the only way it's gonna happen, Ten, if you're listening.

SPEAKER_01 34:32

Yeah, babe. I see that in your card. You'd be like a Paulie, but a bit more like a bit more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:45

Uh over at Brains, Jesse is like, why can't we all just unite now and come together as a mega alliance with eight people? And they're all like that's not too many people.

SPEAKER_01 34:59

That's a ridiculous statement I've heard in Survivor in a while.

SPEAKER_04 35:02

So I've been referring to the Beyond the Snake or Salesman. I've been referring to him and the other dads as the hot dads this whole time. And today it's like I want to rescind it because Jesse, you're no longer hot to me after this week because you're being an boring. They're being boring. I ate the meatballs. You're trying to like get people into this like a mega alliance. Like he really, like, I'm not into Jesse this week.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Yeah, boring. Yeah. It's giving me nothing.

SPEAKER_04 35:29

Um, this is when we get welcome to the stage, DJ Chaos Kate. We get this whole amazing clip package of her bottle service, and she calls Jesse an absolute goose. And I was like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:45

I love a really beautifully belittling term for like um an adult man. A goose. Something that will really hit like a goose.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

Perfect. And then the best alliance name ever of all time is born. Girls Gone Wild. Sorry, that edit was so funny.

SPEAKER_01 36:03

They're like, I was really enjoying that.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

Girls Gone Wild was what we needed. So good. So it's um DJ Kate, Zara, Laura, the Aura, and Morgan. So it's Hot Girls Only. Cool Alliance. I'm into it. Um at the immunity challenge on like the Matt chat bit at the start, AJ signals to Zara like that he played the idol. So he's like still trying to work both sides over there slash eat up all the camera time. Um, and then they do this like endurance challenge with the water trough and the poles.

SPEAKER_01 36:40

Confusing.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

So yeah, I was like, Do you have a take on that? Does it I just didn't like this one? I was like, does it stay up with one pole or like what? Does it all the water need to come? I didn't get it.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

I think they they must have missed something about someone must have thrown it.

SPEAKER_04 36:58

Well, they might as well just the challenges now because everyone's throwing them.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

It's boring. Even though the challenges of Survivor Josh always talks about this, he's like I always skip through the challenges because I find them really boring.

SPEAKER_04 37:11

Yeah, but but sometimes they are exciting. Like last week I thought that one with the idols in it was exciting. Every now and then there's a gun, but yeah, I usually like whip out the phone during the challenges.

SPEAKER_01 37:21

Yeah, but that one was over in about two minutes.

SPEAKER_04 37:24

Exactly. And I'm and to that I say thank you to those throwing them.

SPEAKER_01 37:28

Thank you because I'm here for the explanation for the drama.

SPEAKER_04 37:32

Drama. Um some weird shit goes down, and yeah, it's the girl's gone wild, reckon that the dad's through it. So yeah. But Zara's like, I'm fine, dolls.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

Don't worry about me. I'm all I kind of love Zara.

SPEAKER_04 37:47

Yeah, like what do you reckon about Zara? Yeah, I'm enjoying her as a character on the show. She's a lot like Carolyn from last season. She's just kind of like a like verging on Karen, but like still a bit slay.

SPEAKER_01 38:03

Yeah, I think because she's so selfish and aggressive in her strategy that it's kind of iconic. Yeah. She will stab any bitch in the back.

SPEAKER_04 38:16

She will, and she has she just fucking threw Laura right under the bus. Oh, which is yeah, we'll get there, but it's hard to watch. Um, so like an idol hunt kind of breaks out back at Brains. Jessie tells the ex-brawns to do Laura and split on Miles, and then Laura and Miles are just like all over it, and their plan is to flip on Jesse. And I got so excited, I was like, yes, they're gonna get rid of Jesse. Um, so they tell Miles to like act like it's him, which I was like a little bit worried about because I'm like, I don't think Miles can do that. He would get too excited. It's a big ask. Um, and then Ben and Jesse kind of like intimidate Miles in this we weird way where they're like, we're gonna throw you a bone mate, um, and uh we're actually gonna flip and vote Laura. So save your ass. And I was like, okay, like men's rights. Yeah, and then they come up with their tribe name, which the hunks. No, sorry, not not interested.

SPEAKER_01 39:23

I did love the fact that the edit was focused on Miles just kind of like going along with it, being like, uh Miles. There's a word on your body, hunks, yeah, yeah, yeah. So good.

SPEAKER_04 39:36

Uh but they were in in doing so, they kind of were giving Miles a cover story, so I was kind of like, I was excited for this to be an actual tribal, and we were gonna blindside Jesse. Yeah, I was disappointed. I was fucking fuming because then Laura finds a little fucking scroll. Which what was this edit where they were like, oh, what I have just read on this scroll is gonna change the game and change my life?

SPEAKER_05 40:08

That scroll was fucking dumb. It was so dumb. Why?

SPEAKER_04 40:12

Yeah, because the twists on this show sometimes they like fucking slay and everyone's like dead. But this was one of those twists where it was such an afterthought. They were just like, oh, why don't we um no how afterthought was it?

SPEAKER_01 40:26

Do you think they come up with these um twists on the fly or sugar pre-plan?

SPEAKER_04 40:33

I can they've got a few up their sleeve. Because people like get medi packed. These challenges, especially this year, are hardcore. People are breaking biceps left, right, and centre.

SPEAKER_01 40:45

Mm-hmm. It's something to really talk about because I've got some thoughts about that.

SPEAKER_04 40:52

So call it divine intervention, call it Laura the Aura, but the scroll is scrolling, and we as viewers at this point we have no idea what it fucking says. And I was like, it's just gonna say you're sending someone to the other tribe, which it was. So 10 souls, but you fucked that one up. We all knew predictable because what else was it gonna say on there? I don't know. It's you just take yourself to the pasta bar and get involved with the meeples, like no, or you just don't have a vote, or it yeah, I thought it might have been like a disadvantage.

SPEAKER_01 41:26

Yeah, I kind of like it when it's a disadvantage.

SPEAKER_04 41:29

Same that's very US survivor. They love they love like people losing their vote, which the fans hate, but I'm coming in for it. Like make them suffer. Yeah. Anyway, she trusts Zara. Bad move, girl.

SPEAKER_01 41:44

The aura was not um working for her.

SPEAKER_04 41:47

She misread that one. Miss Miss PTA. She PTA'd the shit out of that uh information, didn't she? Girl.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

We need to find out her actual occupation because real estate agent really makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 42:00

Yeah, I'm I'm auraing that.

SPEAKER_01 42:03

Oh, I if someone did that to me on Survivor, yeah, you'd be done.

SPEAKER_04 42:08

Well, so again, so she shows she shows Zara.

SPEAKER_02 42:11

And Zara's like, oh my god, I can't fucking catch a barrack. And I was like, what are you talking about? Kind of loved that though. It was yeah, it was drama. I was like, what are you even talking about?

SPEAKER_04 42:25

Like, have you I actually felt like AJ, have you seen this? Have you seen Survivor before? It's like you don't get a break. That's the whole point. It's tough. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 42:37

But yeah, no sympathy. No sympathy. But did kind of love. I I love a character who she seems kind of out of um context for the usual survivor contestant. She's a bit more on the outskirts, a bit less like survivor stand knowledge strategy. She's just kind of like a rogue, you know, like she is thinking about the strat a lot though. Yeah, no, she's a good, she's a good player, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:06

But she's getting real pissed off that it's not all going her way. And I'm like, honey, like so funny. Anyway, so at this tribal, as soon as they sit down, Zara's just like to Laura, I can't do it. No, Soz, can't do it. I tried to keep my mouth shut, I just can't do it. And she just like spills to everyone what it is. Even JLP was a bit like, thanks for ruining the twist, Zara. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

I think that was very calculated and manipulative. Because she could have done that before. Because do you Laura? She could have said something.

SPEAKER_04 43:39

Do you think they wouldn't have told like because JLP tells everything like he confirms it before they vote? But do you think they were planning on doing it like they vote thinking that they're getting rid of someone and then surprise, surprise, surprise, that person actually, surprise, surprise, surprise. You're actually going to the other camp because. That would have been fucking awesome.

SPEAKER_01 44:02

I think that was the whole point.

SPEAKER_04 44:03

Yeah, I think there's a point, but Zara fucking ruined it by being like, guys, I read on Little Johnny's Report card that you know. She's a gossiping mum.

SPEAKER_01 44:15

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 44:16

She can't keep that shit locked out.

SPEAKER_01 44:18

It could have worked for her. She she made it work for her, but in a way that is very unlike mine.

SPEAKER_04 44:23

Yeah. So then Chappie's like, yeah, you're right. You've got the correct information. You're actually setting someone across. And then she's like, Well, it's gonna be me. Me, me, me, me, me. And I was like, Laura found it. Like, I think that's only fair. Laura found it. If she wants to go, she should go. No.

SPEAKER_01 44:42

Yeah, no, fully. Where's the integrity? Um, but also kind of love it because I feel like that doesn't happen heaps on Survivor where you just hijack. And that's a rolling theme. You're like hijacking someone's advantage, or you're hijacking the system of how challenges work to make work for you. And maybe that's a new survivor. What do they call it? It's like the new the new survivor thing.

SPEAKER_04 45:13

The new era.

SPEAKER_01 45:14

The new era.

SPEAKER_04 45:15

The new era. That new era is all the shit American seasons that are boring now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:21

I grow up for more of a vibes-based um commentary, less of a um facts and knowledge.

SPEAKER_04 45:27

I'm appreciating it a lot. Okay, good. So glad. And then I'm like, why would you cross a witch? So Zara gets her way. I'm like, girl, you're literally gonna get cursed. Hexed. Abricadabra.

SPEAKER_00 45:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 45:46

Alright, episode 12. This is so this week started normal, a little bit chaos with the twist, and then this episode was pure chaos. Like what? Big question mark. So many question marks. So, like, let's just jump to it. What did Ben do to piss off the producers? Because you only need to Google for two seconds to read that like he was like gonna die. Allegedly. Like he was not well, he was not doing well out there. But they were just like Gerl P being like he decided to leave.

SPEAKER_01 46:19

I'm like, uh that was the most random ending. Yeah. With so it the least possible exclamation explanation was given.

SPEAKER_04 46:30

And like PD was like a red herring, because you're like, oh sh you're like hot dad PD's gonna get taken out of the game. But no, she's still in, but with like one arm now. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 46:42

So what's your running theory about this situation?

SPEAKER_04 46:46

Oh, I mean, I haven't got my tinfoil hat on or anything, but it was just confusing. Tell me. What do you do? Do you break the rules?

SPEAKER_01 46:55

Okay. Um, I think. Do we watch Drag Race? Was it season 12 with Sherry Pie? Yeah, girl.

SPEAKER_04 47:03

Oh. Do you think he did some Me Too shit? Possibly. That was my first time.

SPEAKER_01 47:08

That was my first thought. Because you think about his edit, not that much. He didn't get that much airtime.

SPEAKER_04 47:15

Um Do you think there was a little late night handsy?

SPEAKER_01 47:20

I shouldn't know. No, that was my first thought, which is so concerning.

SPEAKER_04 47:23

But in the shelter.

SPEAKER_01 47:25

Possibly.

SPEAKER_04 47:26

A little rapey shelter moment.

SPEAKER_01 47:28

I don't know. I don't want to say anything because it's all alleged and none of anything I say is based on that. Not I don't think it's all rumours.

SPEAKER_04 47:35

I don't think hot dad Ben is capable of that. I think he literally was just sick. But then, yeah, weird that they were like he decided to leave.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

I I don't know. I reckon my f my feelings are it's a combination of him probably being feeling so shit, probably having some sort of injury, sleeping in a in a really shit spot.

SPEAKER_04 47:56

They literally sleep in like the dirt. Yeah, it's disgusting.

SPEAKER_01 47:59

I couldn't do it. Well, you want to go on survivor, babe. Gonna have to sort that out.

SPEAKER_04 48:04

Yeah, but again, I'm there as a special VIP guest, darling, and I want and I'll be in the lounge.

SPEAKER_01 48:12

When is that ever happening? If Shantan is listening, just don't listen to that. Because you're willing to sleep on the grass.

SPEAKER_04 48:20

It's a new concept where it's like haves versus have nots, and there's like a tribe with like a mansion.

SPEAKER_01 48:28

And I'm on that tribe. Okay, love that for you.

SPEAKER_04 48:30

It's the only way it's gonna work.

SPEAKER_01 48:33

No, I think it's a combination of him probably feeling shit, being injured, maybe not, maybe it not being talked about. Yeah. And then something else has happened where maybe it wasn't a full on incident that I don't know is like would be like a an actual offense. Like maybe he didn't actually do something intense, but maybe it was enough that it was gray area. So that he was like, fuck it, I wanna leave. And the producer was like, Well, that's not like sure. Maybe it was like racism or something.

SPEAKER_04 49:12

They did show that he um hurt himself a little bit. They I remember in that challenge, I think it was the first episode of this week, like they zoomed on the ring challenge. We had to slide the ring over the pole, and his arm got things like not as bad as P D gets hurt, but I don't know. I feel like he did hurt himself, and they kind of like zoom in a bit.

SPEAKER_01 49:37

But wouldn't you if that did just happen? That would be like a full arc of the story.

SPEAKER_04 49:42

And they always tell us there's always a shot of the medic and JLP pretending to care.

SPEAKER_01 49:47

There's cameras on the whole time for the entire thing. It has to be some sort of uh producers are purposely avoiding a situation. It's the sherry fucking pie. Like maybe he catfished someone also.

SPEAKER_04 50:03

We should go on maps then, because that's prerequisite. Oh you don't get on that show unless you're the biggest catfish.

SPEAKER_01 50:10

Really? I've I don't I don't watch maths yet. Not because I don't care, but yeah, I'm just preoccupied, but I I respect that.

SPEAKER_04 50:20

It's wild. So um Zara rocks up at Braun and she's like, hey, the graduates are like uh together, yeah. And they're all like, girl, the graduates broke up like ages ago.

SPEAKER_01 50:35

They were kind of going along with it though.

SPEAKER_04 50:38

They were, but yeah, I I'm happy for her. Yeah, of course. But she was excited. Um, at Brains, Laura lets her frustrations out. She's like rightfully pretty mad at Zara. Um, and they're all like, oop. Uh and then Miles finds an idol out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 50:57

Yeah, gaggy. Yeah, we love that. Love that he just fully misread that thing that obviously said shelter and thought of shelf shelf.

SPEAKER_04 51:10

It says shelf. Oh, I've got to put the meatballs up my ass. And that's where the idol is. It was very that.

SPEAKER_01 51:17

I wish he did that.

SPEAKER_04 51:20

He's so adorable. I want to cuddle Miles.

SPEAKER_01 51:24

Maybe at the next Survivor Watch party you can cuddle him. Yeah, I reckon he's down. Isn't it at the Peacock?

SPEAKER_04 51:29

Is there another one happening?

SPEAKER_01 51:31

Yeah, with um what's that American guy? Johnny Fairplay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 51:36

Yeah, he was in the last one. He was weird.

SPEAKER_01 51:38

Funny vibe. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 51:40

But he's friends with George. Yeah, of course. They're like the same person.

SPEAKER_01 51:44

He's a bit more like carnie or something. Yeah, true. Scary carnie. He's a bit carny.

SPEAKER_04 51:51

Um anyway, so Zara's like to AJ, so are we graduating or what? And they just like, yeah, cool. Um, let's just step away from Karen over here and I'll tell you a little story. Um they both want Logan or Polly out. AJ calls Pauly a snake and says no one likes him. And I was like a lot, unverified. I was like, show me the receipts of this, because all I'm seeing is the most likable, lovely person ever, and you're just threatened. He's like, no one likes Polly. I'm like, no, AJ, no one likes you. Show me the receipts. The receipts. Excuse me, sir. Um, pasta bar. I feel like we've discussed it. But during the challenge, Daddy PD goes down.

SPEAKER_05 52:44

Yeah, he does that sound effect they put on that.

SPEAKER_01 52:46

It was like I think it was a sound effect.

SPEAKER_05 52:50

Yeah, fuck yeah, it was. They don't have mics that are that good. That's so true.

SPEAKER_04 52:56

It was like that's so true. I was like gagged, it was so gross.

SPEAKER_05 53:01

You could hear the clickety clack.

SPEAKER_04 53:03

Yeah, wasn't into that. And poor Kalen, the little sheepdog. He was like, oh my god. He was like, I've just put my dream daddy in hospital, baby.

SPEAKER_01 53:14

Baby, what's his background? Like, what does he do?

SPEAKER_04 53:17

Uh Kalen. Yeah. He flies drones over Antarctica. He's a little nerd baby. He's so fucking hot. It like breaks me out my brain.

SPEAKER_01 53:26

He's very like Ozzy bloke. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 53:30

Yeah, he's kidding. Um then, of course, surprise, surprise, Laura and Zara get paired up together. Love what you're doing here, production. And they're like, gay mummels. During the standoff, JLP's like, Oh, is this about the pasta? Or last night's tribal. And I was like, Stunning, no notes.

SPEAKER_01 53:56

Gaggy. Yeah, it's always about the pasta. No put.

SPEAKER_04 54:02

And then Laura takes it. I was so so thrilled for our girl.

SPEAKER_01 54:07

She was locked the fuck in.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

She was like, I'm grabbing the fuck out of this ring.

SPEAKER_01 54:14

Incredible. Women are powerful. Yeah. Women are very powerful.

SPEAKER_04 54:19

Um, but PD rejoins the group after the challenge in a little sling, and I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_01 54:25

I was surprised they let him back in, actually.

SPEAKER_04 54:27

Well, I think they've got pretty lenient rules. Like, I remember George like spent a night in hospital once. Remember when he like fucked his face? Oh, yeah. And then they were like, sure, you can go back. I think they're allowed 24 hours out of the game in hospital. Yeah. Yeah. So they do need to assess him again later. And I'm like, if you need further assessment of Daddy Petey, I'm available. I'm like, oh, you've only got one good arm. Do you need some help? I swear my mind.

SPEAKER_01 54:56

That's probably everything Polly is thinking this whole time.

SPEAKER_04 54:59

Yeah. Hot PD's? Hot. There's a lot of hot people on this season, actually. They're all dads.

SPEAKER_01 55:06

Yeah, it's giving daddy.

SPEAKER_04 55:08

It is giving daddy. Because normally it's like hunkarama. Yeah. But this time they were like, no, no, no. Yeah. There was like a Zen and then by girl. She was out first round.

SPEAKER_01 55:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 55:21

Yeah. Anyway, pasta thing happens. Chef's kissed to the set design department on this. Um, they're just I love watching them just throw shit everywhere. Miles on the shelf. The shelfing happens.

SPEAKER_01 55:35

I'm sorry, I have to say that pasta looked disgusting even when it was fresh. So disgusting. What's up with Australians doing pasta raw? No, raw pasta and then sauce on top. Who the fuck's ever had pasta over there before?

SPEAKER_04 55:48

Or like not mix, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just a pile of it's like why do you do the sauce?

SPEAKER_01 55:52

Who has ever do people do that?

SPEAKER_04 55:54

No.

SPEAKER_01 55:55

Am I an ignorant um second generation Italian person?

SPEAKER_04 55:58

People must do that.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

That's it's like cartoon pasta.

SPEAKER_04 56:02

Yeah, like the pasta emoji.

SPEAKER_01 56:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 56:04

Like the sauce is just on the top. No, no, no. Where's the olive oil? And then you know exactly no, not olive oil inside. You know it's all stuck together. You know they cooked it for way too long, and it was like mush.

SPEAKER_01 56:16

I do always wonder about the food on Survivor. That shit must be so cold. It's just been sitting there for like two hours. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 56:23

Yeah, but it'd be warmers? It'd be hot and humid in summer. They'd be like, whatever. I don't know. Yeah. I feel bad for them in that capacity. Um, I love this. Logan and Kyron have the ick for AJ. Love that storyline. It was a good storyline. It's the perfect way to put it. Yeah. Um, and then Logan is like, it's time for him to go home. And she finds an ugly little idol. Did you love this bit where she's like, she grabs the little idol and she's like, I mean, it's hideous, but it's mine. She's speaking the truth.

SPEAKER_01 57:01

The idols this season are fugly.

SPEAKER_04 57:04

Fuggly. I'm glad King George isn't on the season because then he'd need to get one tattooed on his body, and they are not cute this year. So Karen and Logan still want Paulia next. Um, but Karen is like getting a little bit spicy and creative. She's like, let's put the fear of God into AJ.

SPEAKER_01 57:23

Which I was like, I was into this.

SPEAKER_04 57:25

Yeah. But again, it was something that we were into, and then it didn't happen because we get to tribal and no bueno ba pao.

SPEAKER_01 57:37

I know not happening. I don't really see her actually executing that though. Yeah. Maybe we only see what they added, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 57:44

I mean, I thought it was kind of happening. And Paulie was scrambling really hard. Um, I'm just so glad Paulie's still through. Like it's actually a win. So yeah. Yeah. Anyway, no tribal. It was really weird. They like sat down and JLP's like, get like what he should have just like come to camp or something. Do they need to go all that way?

SPEAKER_01 58:05

So random. You know what it reminded me of, and I didn't think about this until now. Did you ever watch the ending of The Sopranos?

SPEAKER_04 58:12

No. Oh. I never got into The Sopranos. I've heard it's an icon. Bitch, I'm too busy watching Maths.

SPEAKER_01 58:19

Yeah, fuck, get your produce straight up. It's like the best TV show ever made. The ending of Sopranos reminded me of this ending.

SPEAKER_04 58:28

Oh, really? The shock. You sit down at tribal and then JLP goes, no tribal for you.

SPEAKER_01 58:33

Go, what? Okay. Yeah, you've got like an you've got a cadence, you've got an energy. Okay, and then it's just and you're like, Okay. The effect was not felt as strongly in Survivor as it was in Sopranos after six seasons.

SPEAKER_04 58:49

But nonetheless. Mon, what are your hopes and predictions for the rest of the season?

SPEAKER_01 58:54

Oh what episode are we up to next? 12. 12. And there's what, 20?

SPEAKER_04 58:59

I think there's 24. I think we're halfway through. Because there's a massive song.

SPEAKER_01 59:04

Yeah, but it's good. Yeah, it's good. They ask a lot of us. They do. Um, no, my predictions. Okay, my hopes. Um, Paulie. Paulie and Laura. Paul, like I hate to be a basic bitch and just recommend the likable ones. Or the girls and the gays, yeah. The girls and the gays.

SPEAKER_04 59:25

That's what this part is. Like we literally just go like, yeah, girls and the gays rule, like boys draw.

SPEAKER_01 59:31

Yeah, for real. Um, wait, okay, Paulie, Laura. Karen kind of living forward too because she's yeah, Karen and Zara, because they're just like ram.

SPEAKER_04 59:40

Yeah. I'm glad we've got DJ Kate in the mix now.

SPEAKER_01 59:43

DJ Kate is in it, she's finally getting some airtime.

SPEAKER_04 59:46

Yeah, like she deserves.

SPEAKER_01 59:47

I see I do really see Paulie winning. Yeah. The story art kind of works. Well, he's back.

SPEAKER_04 59:55

He's a paramedic, darling. Exactly, and he's in the merge now, so I'm excited.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:00

Yes, what are your predictions? You probably said this every episode.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:03

No, I I mean, well, it changes because it's an unpredictable show. But yeah, I think Logan is kind of getting a bit of a winner editing. Yeah, yeah. Um, I feel like she is going far.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:17

Similar to the edit of um the girly that was friends with the the Perth girly whose boyfriend owns the shop.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Her. Anyway, well, Mun, thanks for joining me for this week. Remember, you can follow the cringes real on Instagram, TikTok, and Blue Sky.
