Transcript

Intro

SPEAKER_01 0:00

This podcast was produced on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

SPEAKER_02 0:07

Welcome to Australia, Australia. Someone who is such a connoisseur of reality television. The content is hideous.

SPEAKER_00 0:17

Sorry about this. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

It's my favourite activated homosexual from Brains Viever on 2. Polly. Hello, hello. Hello, welcome to the pod. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 0:28

I'm doing good. I'm doing

"Fisty Paulie"

SPEAKER_03 0:30

good. I'm really excited to be here. Ever since you started calling me Fisty Polly. Uh during the cast bias. I have there's the lie.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

There is no lie.

SPEAKER_03 0:39

There is no lie. She's talented.

SPEAKER_01 0:43

That promo shot like that dropped of you. I was like, oh, we're in for a good season, girls. Oh yeah. Oh and then we were. Literally.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

I'm so glad you guys were happy with it. All the drama and the scandal.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Honestly, like I need to formally thank you for your service. Um, particularly for uh creating the best jury villa season of all time. I mean the queen of Jury Villa. Had you planned to do that, or were you just like no?

SPEAKER_03 1:12

You know what? Because I'm like ethnique, right? I'm passionate. So like sometimes when I like question people, it just comes across as aggressive. And there was no animosity, no nothing. I just wanted answers. But because you know, this is the way I was brought up, we're like passionate speakers, we're emotional, and I just wanted the deets, and apparently that's too much for White Australia. Oh, I was living the messages and things that I was getting from people in my DMs laughing me, and I'm like, what are they talking about? I'm like, you're doing the exact same thing you're accusing me of doing, but you didn't cost me $500,000. You know?

SPEAKER_01 1:51

I did think it was crazy that, like, yeah, when you were being snakey, everyone was like, Oh, what a snake. I'm like, have you guys seen the show before? Like, do you know what this show is? Yeah, you're all being snakes, so I did think that was quite funny.

SPEAKER_03 2:07

And I think it was because they like my show, my edit during my time like on the island before Drew Villa was very like squeaky clean, which is what's how I played because I didn't have any other choices. I couldn't be super snakey, I couldn't do anything because all my options were taken away from me very early on. And so when the contrast of me being squeaky clean and cute compared to emotional and like I want answers, everyone was like, Oh my god, it's two different people, and they couldn't swallow it. So that's why they attacked me, I think.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Were you a big fangirl before going on?

SPEAKER_03 2:39

I would say I was like an average fangirl. Yeah, too. So I I had watched it when I was a kid, like the American version stuff, and the Australian version is too in there, but it's such a big commitment. And so I do, and so then I like was in my 20s and living my life. I didn't want to sit in front of the TV three nights a week, you know. But I've always loved it, I've always liked it, and now I'm like a part of it, so I love it. So like I've been dying for Osvist, the world has been so good.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Oh my god, and isn't it

Gay Ski Week

SPEAKER_01 3:05

delivering and you've caught up? So you you've been traveling a lot, you've been to gay ski week.

SPEAKER_03 3:09

I went to gay ski week. So I had that wholesome family holiday uh for 10 days in Queenstown first, which is beautiful. And then I came back for five days, I did some work, and then I went back over for gay ski week. And here I am in my head, I'm thinking, oh cute, I'll just take all my shit out of my suitcase, I'll wash it and put it back in and just take all that same stuff like it between stuff for Gay Spee Week, right? But then I'm like, oh no, I'm gonna have to take out my chill next, put in my harness, put in the dude, get those drop straps ready.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

I just went on a trip um to Greece and there was a gay cruise involved. Oh yeah, and we had it was at the start of the trip, so we had like a separate suitcase for like drug straps, outfits, blah blah blah, that we then just like left on the boat. And it was like, bye!

SPEAKER_03 4:04

Well, gay ski, we had like multiple themed parties, right? So there was like a cowboy themed party, there was a heaven and hell themed party, undies, all the things. So you have to like pack appropriately.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

So like my do you ski? I do now. Oh, great, because I was gonna say I want to go one year, but like I don't fuck with skiing.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

But I guess I could just Yeah, we need faces three days of ski score.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

That's it.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

I'll take it.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Sure, I'll come. Do they put on like hot gay ski instructors for the week? Sure. Sure.

SPEAKER_03 4:37

Yeah, I mean faces, so everybody looks like the ski gear, especially if you've got and those big goggles, and you're just like stunned, mesmerized by these like beautiful beards, these international accents, and they're like going, use your poles, use your poles, and I'm like, babe. I can't use my poles.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

I'm there, I'm booking my flights, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or

Mitch Brown is Our New Bi King!

SPEAKER_01 5:02

next year. Um the other big news this week was uh Mitch Brown, this ex AFL player, comes out of the woodwork and comes out of the closet. How do you think?

SPEAKER_03 5:13

It's about time. It's about time. I mean, I would have loved it if he had done it while he was still playing, but better late than never. I mean, it's the bravery because it's such a homophobic industry, and so I think, and especially because he's he's like got two kids and stuff as well, so there's like a lot going on. So my wife just died. Hang on, give me two seconds.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

That's all right. We've got a gay lighting emergency, everyone.

SPEAKER_03 5:36

I know, and I can't do a podcast with no lighting.

unknown 5:39

Hold the phone.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

You've got a better setup than I do, I swear. Right? Uh I don't know. We're gonna have to do it lightless, I think. That's okay. That's right. Looking good, yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's great that he's done it, but it's also a little bit like do I hate that I'm a little bit like, why now? Is she putting out a book? Is there uh like what is she planning?

SPEAKER_03 6:02

Well, I hope something because I want the tea. I want the AFL T. That's what I want.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

I want them all to come out.

SPEAKER_03 6:09

Yeah, literally, because if there's one, there's got to be plenty more. And I've got my like I've only recently gotten into the AFL because you know, in News in New South Wales, we're NRL. Um but the AFL boys, I'm like, oh they're very pretty.

SPEAKER_01 6:25

Then the NRL boys are are thick, which I find really hot, but the AFL boys are pretty. Yes, pretty lean, lean, they can run, yeah, and they're very, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

They've got those gazelle legs and they just stride. It's absolutely stunning to watch. I love. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Garrels. Um, so you've caught up on Australia versus the world of the side. So I got back on Monday.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

Yeah, I got back on Monday morning and I binged the first four episodes straight away while I was like on my couch recovery. I ate two feet of Subway sandwich in one go. Yeah. And I just smashed through the first four episodes, and then I've been on night shifts last two nights, and so I've sort of been watching the movie between my job and stuff like that. Right. I had I literally delivered a baby the other night, and I had no way for real on the back of the ambulance, and I'm like, there's center and blood and stuff everywhere. And I'm like, okay, you clean the car, I'm doing my paperwork, and then like some um survivors on the side on my phone.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Baby in one hand, survivor in the other. Lot of

Australian Survivor Australia V The World Week 2 Recap

SPEAKER_01 7:24

oh my god. Um, what are your high-level thoughts on this season so far?

SPEAKER_03 7:29

So look, I'm post-merge, loving, loving. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:33

Oh, it took you a while to warm up. It took me a while to warm up.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

I kind of felt like it it doesn't feel like the game that I'm used to. Obviously, it's shorter, so everybody's playing different and they're playing harder and faster. And I feel like the element of surviving has been taken away from it because it's so short, right? So, like people make decisions based on their hunger and their fatigue and things like that, which is what makes the show so interesting. And I think that because that element has been taken away, people are analytically making decisions in a better way. So it's just it's just different, but I'm enjoying it, I'm definitely enjoying it.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

It is different. I think that it's so good, and I'm shocked that they've gone with this like three episodes a week for three weeks, kind of thing. I'm like, girl, like they could be giving us one of these a week, and I would be satisfied. It's so good.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

Literally, and because there's so many big players in there, there's so much to dissect, so we would be fed week by week, and we'd be we'd be full. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 8:35

We're being fed with Shantan, firstly. She is feeding the children, Miss Shotting.

SPEAKER_03 8:45

And in her maternity glory as well, like glowing. Like, how long has she given birth? And then I think it was only like a couple of months. So she's still in that maternal glow for sure.

SPEAKER_01 8:57

Yeah, she looks incredible. I'm like, how are you doing? Like, like, I don't know how any of you guys do it to begin with, but popping out a kid and being like, see, yeah, yeah, inflation's a bitch, so you can literally and Sean's the only one from the Australian team that I had seen like all her seasons.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

Like, I I'd never seen Luke play, um, I've never seen Janine play because it's so obsessed.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

They're from another time, they're from the before times before people knew how to play properly. That's my hot take. I mean, like, you guys started when people were so cutthroat and understood that it's a game, but I think the first few seasons of Australian Survivor, it was very like I call it the mateship era, because people would be like, Oh, what are you talking about? You're gonna lie to me. I thought we were I thought we were mates, and it's like, girl, the show is lying.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

Well, I think it's the Australian thing too, right? Australians are like naturally loyal and they're all like for the I don't know, for the man, blah blah blah. So I think when uh the new era and the new Australian era sort of came along and the contemporary players came into it, everybody started to be like more gaggy for it.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

But Luke and Janine did the right thing, though. They did mateship, they stuck together from the start, and it fucking worked.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

So literally hats off to them. I agree, I agree. And I've been messaging Luke um on Instagram a bit because I I really I'm really enjoying him. I think he's chilling and he's doing such a good job. I might try and message Janine and see if she can give me a job assist as well.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Oh my god. Yeah, Janine. I was like so excited about her being on the season, and then the first few episodes I was a bit like, what is she doing? And then now, like, mother has arrived and I'm ready.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Yeah, I could sort of tell with the edit that she was gonna last a little bit longer than some of the other big players. And you just know going into like a super season like this, that the big players are if they're not if they don't tone it down a little bit, then they're gone straight away. And that's exactly what happened.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

Well, let's um segue straight into episode four from this week because we start with Janine, she's like groveling to Shawnee, she's like, I'm so sorry, babe, because her and Luke, of course, put votes on Sean. Literally.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

She's like, sorry, that was me. That was my bad Shawnee. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Uh Shoddy gives us this iconic line where she's like, I'm really sorry, George. I know you were one day away from a hundred days, but I'm a bitch, so I'm gonna cut you off. I don't want you in the hundred club.

SPEAKER_03 11:31

I was like, good on her. Like, if she is gonna uh go hard, that's that's the time you want to go hard. So I'm so glad she kept him when she did, just to kick him off before the hundred club. Like that's that's the iconic moment.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

It's ironic. But my question is when did Shawnee become such a like statician? Because out of nowhere, she's like counting days, she's counting mergers and stuff, making claims about being the first person to ever merge four times. I'm like, we need a fact checker on set. Oh, there is.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

There are. There's those little little uh birds up there, and they're like Twitter. Yeah, so like there's information being said to you about like things, especially in your like interviews and things like that. Because so someone's like you know, helping her out. Shawnee ain't counting her tribal her tribal. I'll tell you that now.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

She's not counting the I wouldn't be. I'd be like, how how many times have I done this? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

Yeah, I have I've been on one season and I have no idea how many tribal counts I love it. No idea.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Sure, ask Shawnee, she'll be able to tell you. Uh then we get another uh confessional word that made me go, Oh, which was Luke Toki looking down the barrel and just saying, kiss my ass, King George. Right. I was like, I was actually a little bit like kind of turned on but scared. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 12:55

Yeah, I was kind of aroused by it, especially because of the conversation that they had about being the power bottoms and things. And I'm like, oh, maybe maybe Luke is coming around to this now. Maybe it wasn't such a little ha, maybe like kiss his actual ass, George.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

Get it. Well, we are living in a post-um Mitch Brown era, so everyone's bisexual now.

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Literally, we expect all people.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Um, all right, back at the world tribe, Pavity is running from the Micronesia playbook of Keep the Women Strong, and you can just hear gay Twitter going yes in the background.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

Yeah, I'm all for the keep the women together, right? But I don't think they had a choice because the men were outnumbered from the get-go.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

They were yeah, which like I'm totally fine with that. Some people seem to be a little bit upset by that, and to those people I say, get over it.

SPEAKER_03 13:50

Yeah, literally, let the women have their moments. Do you know what? Well, the men's reign. We've had gods, we've had kings. Yeah, give us the women, give us the queens, give us the princesses. We deserve it, we deserve it.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

And I think they knew what they were doing when they cast this season. They were like, let's make it i shonic. Yeah, give us the shant.

SPEAKER_03 14:06

Yeah, and like the the fan base love the women. He doesn't love all these big characters like Sabree, Parvity. Like, I've never seen Parvity play before, but I've known of her. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

No, you I'm almost jealous because you get to experience it for the first time.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

And I am I am enthralled by this woman. Everything about her just kind of like turns me on a little bit, and I'm like, I'm bisexual now. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

We're all bisexual now, yeah. But she's just killing it. I love it. I love it. She's so good. Um, she says that the mystery box idol that they found is like gonna be shared amongst the girlenas, so yeah, not looking good for Tony and Tommy. Yeah, no, which I really kind of I love Tommy.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

I don't know whether it's hot, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

And it kind of looks like you a little bit the same. Well, he's got the he's got the mullet going, which I instantly I'm just like great. I love it, I love a ginge. Yeah, he's like he's a tall, sexy man. I'm into it. It's it's the howling on the motorcycle for me.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

I was like, oh my, right? He gets that, and George gets smacked in the flag in the face of the flag. Right?

SPEAKER_01 15:20

Yeah, so good. Uh so it's Tony or Tommy at this point, and Parv and Sari are kind of like arming and ring about who would be better for them. Obviously, Parv wants to keep Tony in as a shield because he's got a bigger threat level than she does at this point. Um, but the world girlies want to keep Tommy because they're like we're the the outcasts from that are neither Australian nor American. Yeah, so it's kind of this like I love they get together and they're like, hmm, yeah. So which one are the boys? And they all kind of like subtly pitched their case. Yeah, and then Cerie's like, let's circle back to this later.

SPEAKER_03 16:05

Totally, we'll talk about it later. But then the Americans are like, Tommy's gotta go. 100%. But they're so like patriotic, you know, they're so loyal to the Americans and they just love their people. So I was just I was hoping that they would make a different decision because let's do something crazy. Do you know what I mean? Like, let's stack it up a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Totally. No, I was shook, I was like, surely not, surely they're not um like it's Tommy's gone, right? So yeah, yeah, exciting to see where this ended up. Um back at Aussie. Janine's getting paranoid now. She knows she kind of stuffed up a bit, but not as paranoid as our girl Sarah is. Oh my god, did you want to just jump through the screen and give her a hug?

SPEAKER_03 16:50

Oh, so much so. Because I've met her a few times, right? And so she's so cool, and she's just one of those girls that like swans into an area and people just like gawk and she just owns the space. So as I've been watching on the season, and she's all paranoid and she's all sketchy and stuff. I'm like, chill, babe, just chill. You're in a good space. So it would be killing me to see her like all pedantic.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

She needs to chill. I don't know what happened out there, um, but she was, yeah, really stressing. Do you think like playing with David through her or something at the start?

SPEAKER_03 17:25

Yeah, I think maybe because they've had that relationship for a long time, and so I think she was a bit cautious initially. And I think instantly when she paired up with K with Kirby, she was like a bit regretful. I think she was like, oh fuck, I think I've done the wrong thing here, but it was too late to turn back, so she had to sort of run with it.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

There's also like on the drop your buffs after show, she talked about having hearing aids, which I was like, that should have probably been in the show. Yeah. Because it was kind of an important detail. Because apparently, like you can't use them in the rain, um and or at night when you can't really like lip read properly or whatever. So they talked a lot about that. Um, her and Ricard, who were both uh hard of hearing, have a little moment where they talk about this, and I'm like, This is important context.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

Oh, yeah, I agree. I had no idea.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

So apparently she wasn't quite getting every conversation.

SPEAKER_02 18:18

Yeah, that wouldn't make sense of sense.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

Yeah. Uh so Sarah says to Janine, look, I'm not quite sure about Kirby. She sort of it was this one throwaway comment of like Kirby's being a bit weird, huh? Yeah. And then that is fucking game over for our girl because it goes straight back to Kirby, who is like you just she's fuming at this point.

SPEAKER_03 18:43

And I just I'm so impressed at how Kirby has managed to climb to the top of the food chain, you know. And I don't know whether it's just the edit and Kirby's putting in a lot more work than's being shown to us, but she has just gone from here to stardom in like two seconds on the season, and everybody is just eating out of her hands. Wild, wild to me.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

She does have like a presence.

SPEAKER_00 19:08

Like every time I've met Kirby, I'm always like, oh hey, I get kind of shy around her.

SPEAKER_03 19:15

Yeah, she's got dumb dumb type energy. Enough said, enough said. Bow to me, pez.

SPEAKER_01 19:21

She's got BDE.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

Delightful, which we love. I've only spoken to like her on the phone and on FaceTime and stuff a few times when I've done a little survivor parties, but I never actually met her. So shout out to Kirby, invite me over. I want to see that BDE in real mind.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

And then Sarah says, the iconic line, I'm overthinking it. And I'm like, Yes, honey. Yeah. You are um nice work by Janine here though. I was like, go Janine, like kind of spilling that to Kirby was pretty smart.

SPEAKER_03 19:55

I think so, too.

SPEAKER_01 19:56

Yeah, and your hands are pretty clean. They were? I didn't like it. I don't know. I mean, like it hasn't come back to bite yet, and Kirby ends up literally on the way out.

SPEAKER_03 20:06

But I think, yeah, Janine, any sort of information is power, and when you've got a ride or die who's actually said somebody's like their ride or die's name, you can spin that in any way you want, you know, especially out there because the paranoia is real.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

I couldn't do it that level paranoia. I would just be constantly like, all of these bitches are after me.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

And that's why you just literally keep your mouth shut. You cannot say a name without it coming back to bite you in the architect. Easier said than done, though. I know, I know, but you like when poverty was in the water and Rob was like, give me a name, give me a name, give me a name, and she was like, No, no, no. That's that's what you have to do.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

Just say clean. You have to actually be like, nope, nope, yeah. I would absolutely crash and burn on this show. Uh all right, we get the immunity uh challenge, but there's a twist, it's not a um tribal immunity, it's two individual immunity necklaces, which I was like, oh god, what are they what complicated shit are they throwing at us this time? But it kind of ended up being all right. So it was like an endurance thing. This was the the legs up core strength um high rocks challenge. Yeah, the Pilates ladies challenge the Pilates mums were like ready, oh yeah, ready, ready, ready.

SPEAKER_03 21:26

Yeah, those pelvic requires come in handy for this sort of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Yeah, the men drop out like instantly, as does Lisa. Uh I thought Sari fucking did so well on this. I was really very impressed.

SPEAKER_03 21:42

And like more so than like Luke's a fit guy, like Luke's done some work and things like that. And he's yelling and he's carrying wild.

SPEAKER_01 21:53

I think or is it another one? This one where JLP's like, Oh Luke, it's uh never pretty with you. Because he's always like literally, oh my god. So they all fucking drop out, except we have Parv and Cass, who are our ultimate Pilates girlies at this point. Yeah. Um Parv strikes up this deal. This was so cunt. She's like, so we're gonna be the endurance girlies. So I'll drop out now and then you drop out next time. And Cass goes, no.

SPEAKER_03 22:29

No, I loved it with the sexy, like Quebec and French accent.

SPEAKER_02 22:34

She's so hot. Isn't she hot? I am so she might be my favorite of the season.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

Honestly, she's like this week, she's coming up to yeah, like I want to, I almost want to see her take out Parv. Like, so do I. I know just because it'll be so unexpected.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

I want the ultimate showdown between the American and the Canadian.

SPEAKER_01 22:56

Like, come on. I would my ultimate final three at this point is Parv, Sean, and Cass. Like, can you imagine that?

SPEAKER_03 23:03

Oh, the ultimate lady final. Perfect. Yeah, well, we can have, we can dream.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

We can dream. Oh my god. Uh, then they make it spicier. It's like one foot. Um, they do all that. I don't know. And then yeah, it's like, Joe, give them a break. Uh, then Cass is like, all right, how's that deal looking? I think I'm done so. So we have a deal on our hands, and um she takes it, drops out, and gives it to Parv.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

Yeah, which I was surprised with because I reckon she had a little bit more to go. And I didn't want I didn't want her to be in a position where Parv would have to pay her back and she wouldn't. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 23:47

Which yeah, absolutely fucking happens. I'm like I'm so impressed by Parv because I feel like just offering the deal is what ended up psyching Cass out.

SPEAKER_03 23:57

Because I guess if you know there's like options, all of a sudden your brain's like thinking differently rather than just focusing on winning, on yeah, on pushing through because it yeah, you're right, one thought in and it just snowballs and becomes so big, and you're like, okay, this is the only way I'm gonna get out of this. Yeah. And do you think do you think that poverty is like playing a character? Because I don't really know much about her outside of Survivor. So do you think this sultry and this like cool and suave in the real world as well?

SPEAKER_01 24:27

No, so she famously plays it up for the show, which I think she is in real life awesome and cool and sexy. But she definitely plays up her like she plays kind of like Ditzy, yeah, which back in her first season or her like sort of iconic season she was in, uh, that ended up getting her the win. Because she sort of people underestimated her. She flirted with men and they would just do whatever she wanted, and then she won. So that's how she gets that Black Widow um title from, yeah. Which is pretty iconic. But I don't know if that works when people know that's your strategy. Apparently, it does.

SPEAKER_03 25:07

Apparently, it's still working. Years on she must be that good at it that you just eat out of her hand, you know, even if you know what's happening.

SPEAKER_01 25:16

So at this point, they're trying to do some strat chats, but they also don't quite know. Because I think did JLP drop them a little hint, he was like, You both come in a tribal, but one person's going. So I think they were all like, the fuck? So there were different theories floating around.

SPEAKER_03 25:32

That's right. And Shawnee was like, Oh, in my season, um people got voted R, and then uh we have to make a fire. And I was like, Yeah. But the world tribe didn't even recognise that fire could be a thing. They had no idea.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

No, because they haven't fucked with these insane producers before. Literally, literally. That are like ready to do an extra challenge. They love a challenge at tribal, like just chuck another one in.

SPEAKER_03 25:59

Oh, for sure. Yeah, it's part of the Australian culture of survivors to do that as well.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

Surprise challenge. Um Kirby's torn about what she wants to do. She like doesn't want to vote Shawnee, but she's like hap wants to keep her alliances happy. Janine and Lucas are tied, but then we get world and it's the Tony V. Tommy of it all. Yeah, and the girls don't open the box at this point, haven't they? Yeah, yeah. They've got the box.

SPEAKER_03 26:33

Um, but not the idol.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

No, oh no, Parv. Oh no, Parv gets it in this episode. In this episode, okay. Yep, yep, yep. Uh yeah, they've got the clue. They know that it's at tribal under JLP's feet. Yes. Tony wants to keep USA strong, which I'm like, sure. Think that Sari does two, but then she's like, what's stronger? America or the girlies?

SPEAKER_03 27:04

Women. Always women.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

Yeah. At tribal JLP explains the rules. It's rocks and fire. So it's rocks to find one person, which I thought the rocks bit was dumb. I think they should have picked someone because that would have been great drama.

SPEAKER_03 27:23

It would have been uh way more dramatic and it would have been way more intense had the tribes chosen their fire starter because it would have been a lot more pressure for the people for sure than picking one.

SPEAKER_01 27:35

Or the two the two with their um necklaces, maybe. So it would have been Sarah V. Yeah, that would have been insane. Because Sarah ends up pulling a rock, so she's already got immunity, but she's now got to make fire to like rescue the Aussies, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:53

Which is so stressful, right? Because I've been there, I've been in that position when I was hanging onto that pole for my entire tribe. So I know how much how much weight you've got on your shoulders when you're representing half of the tribe, it's intense.

SPEAKER_01 28:09

Crazy. And then we get um uh Sari making the fire for the world tribe. So good. This was really good, and we get like Tony doing some smack talk, and Sarah's telling him to shut up, and this was such good TV.

SPEAKER_03 28:24

I was like, but although like Sari's been on how many seasons of Survivor, and she's never made fire before.

SPEAKER_01 28:30

Yeah, like come on. Oh no. Um Sarah finally gets the win. So the Aussies leave. I also thought here the Aussies should have been able to stay and witness. I think that would have been a good prize for that to watch the like what's going on at the World Tribe, but whatever, they go, they go back to camp. Um, and then we get if this episode wasn't iconic enough, then we get the fucking shoe.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

The shoe idol.

SPEAKER_03 29:04

The shoe, but not only the shoe, it's layered, it's layered with a sock inside the shoe with uh an idol that turns out to be a rock. And I'm like, it was masterful, it was it was beautiful, it was definitely an iconic moment for him. Down the point where I was impressed with him bringing up the box, saying that he knows that poverty's got the key and that she's opened it. And I was like, if you just chose your words a little bit better, you could have got away with this. Like you could have almost really got under the other guy's skin thinking that you knew about look that poverty told you that she got in there. It was close, it was close, though. It was like it was a Kamikaze Cad style.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

It was a bit, but like going down out guns blazing is like how you want to do it, right? Especially it's like a two-time winner. So I thought it was a great kind of a good try. As JLP says when he's snuffing his torch, it goes nice try.

SPEAKER_03 30:00

Yeah, yeah. I mean, well, that's what you can do, right? And then what was Par's um piece to came on? What did she say? She's like, don't talk to me like that, or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 30:09

Oh fuck, what did she say? It was really good.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

Yeah, it was so cunky. It was great.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

Oh, she's had just every single thing she said on camera this season has been like yeah, memeable, put it on a t-shirt. Like, yeah, she knows how to make television.

SPEAKER_03 30:28

Oh, for sure. Like, she this is her job. Reality TV, she's turning it to her career.

SPEAKER_01 30:33

He also he tries to pull Parv down with him. He's like, You've got the key. I saw you get the key, and she's like, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, I have no idea. I'd like to know who told you that.

SPEAKER_03 30:44

Yeah, no, she played it so cool, and he just said digging himself a big grave for training.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

I know. He also said that George can get a shoe tattooed on his chest if he wants, which I'm like, don't give that boy any ideas because he will fucking do it.

SPEAKER_03 31:00

Literally, I bet he'll get like a cute little shoe on his thigh or something like that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:07

Epic, so good. At the end, again, if it couldn't get any more iconic, then Parvity runs back to Tribal, tells JLP to hold her torch while she forages for the idol, which amazing. I'm assuming the girls know about that one, right?

SPEAKER_03 31:24

Yeah, I would assume so because Cass definitely looked back and saw that part of it there. So she would have to put two and two together. So I'm assuming that everybody would know that she's got the idol. But does that mean like it's a public idol for everyone to use?

SPEAKER_01 31:36

I think it's a girly idol. I think that's what they said. We'll see though.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

Because Cass has got her sneaker on, she's got her sneaky little idol, which I love.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

So it's five five going into merge, which is awesome. Um, episode five. Yep. Five for five. Five for five. Sari starts by telling us that she doesn't even like stuff that's from Australia. From Australia, I know. How dare you? How dare you mean? I was like, what are you like is she aware that's a good one?

SPEAKER_03 32:08

Do you not like Aesop Samoa at the moment? Everything she's utilizing right now is from Samoa.

SPEAKER_01 32:15

I just thought it was like, yeah, strange thing to say, but I kind of loved it. I guess she was trying to be like, guys, we're merging, don't worry about it. I'm at I'm at no risk of um falling in love with these people because I don't even know who they are. I don't even care.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

Yeah, she's starting to get hungry. It's like day eight or whatever, the hunger's setting in. Yeah. So this is when the author of the authentic self comes out, and you start saying all the wild county shit that just goes through your brain.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Exactly. Uh, we get this epic merge auction situation, which was amazing. Did you have an auction on your season? Yeah, uh, the pickle. Hello. Oh fuck. Oh my god, hello. Just the most topic. I've never been able to live it down. That was great. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:02

Everyone's like, too, and I'm like, absolutely not. Absolutely not. No, no. Um, but this auction I really enjoyed because it was like back to the OG, and they found out they had merged beforehand, right? Which I love. I love that. They all knew that they were gonna go back to camp. So I think that they were all thinking about okay, how am I am I gonna bid on this? Am I gonna do this? Am I gonna go for a clue? I don't know. So I really enjoyed that JLP time first.

SPEAKER_01 33:27

And the way this episode, I think this was my favorite episode yet. The way they edited it was just like bang, we're into it. No fucking filler shit. It's like here we are at the auction. Straight up, it's a loggerhead rock off for a scroll between Tommy and Luke. I was like, what is going on? Luke gets it, and then it's you gotta send someone home, which is like uh he pigs parv and parv turns into literal mother, and she starts counting him down like a child, and it works. He's he was quaking in his boots.

SPEAKER_03 34:02

I know his eyeballs were about to pop out of his head. I was scared of him.

SPEAKER_02 34:06

Oh no, the countdown by stand here.

SPEAKER_01 34:14

Three. Are you sure, Elliot? He's like, Oh, it's too late. Uh, but hey, ends up being so sweet for Pav. So she sachets away. Um, then we get some cakes and some popcorn and some ribs. I thought this popcorn was gonna be a thing, but it was like a bit of a misdirection.

SPEAKER_03 34:34

It was nothing, yeah. There was nothing in there, right? Because I saw Nick put on his story that Kirby had like tipped half of it out. Although, did you see that shot of like Kirby fingering the popcorn? Oh, yeah. Like, is there a shot in his head there, and then Kirby's just like and I'm like, oh wait, is this not the most lesbianic season you have ever seen? The season is lesbian culture.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

Like, I am now a lesbian watching like this whole season has just radicalized me. Yeah, oh absolutely, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:03

This is the most lesbian forward season I have ever seen, and I'm eating it up. I love it. Yep, and even Lisa, like when she was on there um at the start of the auction, they murged and she starts crying, and she does the little squeal, and she's like, and I was like, Yes, yes, Lisa, yes, no way.

SPEAKER_01 35:24

So good. Oh my god, Lisa, we forgot to say Lisa's bit in the auction where she's like she's crying. She's like, I just really, really like Survivor. And I was like, You are amazing. Yeah, she's giving that cheek from Mean Girls. I just want to make a bake of things, I'll just make a cake of rainbows and smiles. I was like, She doesn't even go here. That girl Lisa is iconic for the right reason. Like, this is what you want to come on as a fan and just like wear your heart on your sleeve and just be like, Yeah, I'm a big fan, and everyone's just gonna eat it up. So she did the right thing.

SPEAKER_03 35:58

She's serving Reggie from Big Brother.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

Oh, that's like she is relatable, exactly the same. Love it. So we find out the real sweet treats were back at camp with Parv. Of course. Uh, this cookie scene, I've never gay squealed so much at the screen as this scene. I was like, Oh, so the cookies are flying everywhere, and the jar smashes, and yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03 36:25

Did you see her face when the jar broke? She went bright red as she was furious.

SPEAKER_01 36:33

Oof. It was great. But then she was correct, right? And what was the clue? Was that it was an advantage? No, it's yeah, is that the one where you can steal an idol if you know where it is? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She's got that one, which is beautiful, incredible.

SPEAKER_03 36:49

But does she know anybody has an idol?

SPEAKER_01 36:51

I don't think she does. I don't I think Luke and Cass's idols are pretty marked. Yeah. But that will change as we get closer to the end. Uh we learned the tribe is called Mordic, which means deadly. Right?

SPEAKER_03 37:10

And like to go on with the lesbian culture, I was getting my food ready for work, right? And so I was like, I'm just listening at this point. And I heard go Kirby go, Oh, can you say mut? And I'm like, and so I had to run around. I put it back up, rewound it a little bit, and then she's like, Can you say mutic? And I was like, Oh my god, teaching everyone about Aussie slang.

SPEAKER_01 37:35

I'm just gonna call it the Mut Tribe from now on. I thought it was good, but like there was a bit of chat about this online, like great, but I felt like they cut, I think just there was so much going on this episode, they cut out like any further explanation. And I would have loved Sarita uh sorry, um Kirby to say to the rest of the tribe a little bit more about yeah, what that is. Yeah, it was a missed opportunity.

SPEAKER_03 38:02

100%. And especially like in Indigenous culture, their language, the use of the word deadly is such a prominent word, and it means so much, and it's so used. So, like I would have loved that more explanation for sure.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

Yeah, even just knowing which language um that is because there are hundreds of Indigenous Australian languages, a lot of people don't know that, so that could have been even just a small teachable moment. But look, I get it, it's not her responsibility to fucking educate the world. Yeah, if you are international and you're listening to this, fucking Google it because it's really fascinating. Um, all right. Some Aussies ask about the box because they're all back at tribe to now. They're like, hang on, what's the box? And the girls are like, Oh, no one's been able to open it yet. Yeah. Absolute bitches. Good. So good. Uh Kirby's still trying to downplay her game to everyone. She's like, Oh me, I'm just a princess among queens. I don't know how to do this.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

I've never played before. Yeah, but in the meantime, the whole time she's making googly eyes at Parvity. I've never seen Kirby's face be so animated and so hyperactive, and she's just like gagged for her.

SPEAKER_01 39:11

It's the birth of curvy. Um, it's a whirlwind lesbian romance that lasts not very long.

SPEAKER_03 39:19

Which is actually what did she say in the in the shelter? I think, are we wise now or something? Am I wise?

SPEAKER_01 39:25

And I was like, girl. She's like, Well, it's actually like nothing. Yeah, yeah, it's so good. Um, yeah, Harvey's not buying that Kirby's so green. She's like, I I know that you're dangerous. Um, she gets the nickname the Black Mamba. The Black Mamba delightful.

SPEAKER_03 39:46

But I'm getting the vibe that they're like, they know how deadly each other are, but they like it.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

They like dancing on this line. It's an aphrodisiac, Parv says. Yes, it is. Two strong independent women, women aligning. It's it's truly deadly.

SPEAKER_03 40:04

Yeah, and they're both like, oh, we're both in committed relationships. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 40:08

Well, that's the thing. So Sari comes into the mix because Kirby's also like, obviously, you guys are a bit of a package deal. I'm totally down to work with Sari as well. Suri's less excited about working with Kirby, you know?

SPEAKER_03 40:19

Yeah, well, I think so because Sari can see Kirby's threat level, and I think Sari is threatened by Kirby. She could like take her number two spot, you know.

SPEAKER_01 40:29

And she doesn't like things from Australia, so sorry, Kevs, you're out. Oh my god. Uh Shawnee's just here for the Shantan. This is when the girls. This is like motherquake moment, like where Sean, it's like Sean, Kirby, Parvity, and Surreal sitting together under the shelter, and I'm just like gay Twitter is just yeah, blowing up. Blowing up. Yeah. Fuck me.

SPEAKER_03 41:00

Uh and that's when Shawnee was like, Oh, I have no allegiance to the Australians anymore. Yeah, I didn't know they were gonna vote me out. And I was like, Well, fuck yeah, literally jump ship, babe, because if you don't, somebody else will.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

Yeah, this gets passed back to Cree, who's now like, oh okay, maybe they do have some cracks. I don't know. Yeah, then we get yeah, cracks galore. Then we get this crazy immunity challenge, the last gasp torrential rain edition.

SPEAKER_03 41:30

Oh, yeah. Low key, it was so triggering watching that. Like, that's such an intense. Did you do this challenge? I did this challenge. Oh my god. And it's like it's scary as fuck, right? So to add the element of having the rain, the thunder, and the lightning on top of that, terrifying. And like I Luke was drowning in the water, you could see it was just so it was like no, I couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

And we finally learned that they the Australian survivor producers do have a safe word, and it's lightning. Lightning never I don't think this has happened before, has it? Where they've been like, actually, we're calling it for safety. Normally they're like, suck it up, buttercup.

SPEAKER_03 42:12

Thank god, because it's yeah, it's not easy. And I think when it storms like that, the water becomes so aggressive and so violent. And if someone because it's it's like metal grapes, like the frame is like timber, but the actual bars I'm pretty sure were like metal, so it's hard. So if you're like being thrashed around and stuff, because I was smacking my head on it, that's why I came out fast because I could feel my scarf kind of open again. So if you smack your head hard on it and you're all dazed and confused and you're nearly out of oxygen, you're not gonna know which way's up. Scary.

SPEAKER_01 42:44

When they had to take the four, so it was Luke, Cass, Janine, and Tommy, who are like the final four when they had to cut it, and Tommy thinking he'd won.

SPEAKER_02 42:52

I was like, honey, no. Oh no, bless you.

SPEAKER_01 42:56

Oh, poor thing. Uh, but then we go to rocks, which I'm glad they kind of explained a bit why they're like, Look, the the set is underwater.

SPEAKER_03 43:06

Yep, this is the only option. We can't do a redo.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

We're doing rocks.

SPEAKER_03 43:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:13

I wonder what they were gonna do.

SPEAKER_03 43:14

Oh no, that's right. He said if no, if you couldn't agree on doing rocks, then you wouldn't.

SPEAKER_01 43:18

No one would get it.

SPEAKER_03 43:20

Yeah, then you're all up for elimination.

SPEAKER_01 43:22

That would have been kind of good. But Cass didn't seem convinced.

SPEAKER_03 43:26

No, no, definitely not. But I think it would have been foolish of them to allow it to happen. So I'm glad that they picked that they all decided to go to rocks. Um, and I'm glad that Tommy got it. Because he's cute and he deserves it.

SPEAKER_01 43:40

He's so cute. And it I think it was karma for losing the last rock at the auction. So his turn to go to rock. 100%. Back at camp, everyone's wet and miserable, and it makes it hard to do strat chat because it's like bucking down.

SPEAKER_03 43:56

You can't do anything in the rain. It's butting down, you're cold. And you want to avoid getting all your shit wet because it'll never dry. Right. So yeah, they're all scrambling, running around, but trying to stay under the shelter, having their conversation. It was, yeah, it was it was fun to watch though. Everyone having these really sly conversations.

SPEAKER_01 44:14

Yeah, it sure was. Um the Aussies come up with this plan to do a fake plan for Lisa, but then really go for a bigger fish who is Cass. Cass.

SPEAKER_03 44:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:27

Um, and then hopefully the world would split and then they would still achieve what they needed to. Love it. Love the plan.

unknown 44:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

But don't come for my girl Cass. Sorry. Yeah, they I mean, wise to go for her though, because she is a huge threat. After watching the ab crunch 5000, actually, was it after that challenge or another one where Kirby's like, so what are you? S A S?

SPEAKER_03 44:54

Yeah, yeah, what's going on? Tell us now. And she's like, Oh, you'll just have to hear it in my winner's speech.

SPEAKER_02 45:01

In my final trimal speech. Oh, that was that was such a good line.

SPEAKER_01 45:06

Yes, oh my god. Um, Sarah and Sean pitch to Lisa. Uh oh, sorry, pitch the Lisa vote to Parv and Sari, who were like, Sean, yeah, yeah, we'll take that on board.

SPEAKER_03 45:22

Great.

SPEAKER_01 45:23

Um, then Sean is like, look, I couldn't care less about the Aussies. It's one tribe, my dream. The more tribe. The more tribe is for my taking. Uh Kirby's also ready to defect, and they all agree on Sarah. Yeah. Because Kirby loves a revenge moment.

SPEAKER_03 45:44

Literally. And I think Kirby wants poverty as her number one. She wants yeah, she wants that back widow for sure. So Sarah's gotta go. She's ready to move in. How do you feel about them booting an Aussie at this point, though? What are your thoughts?

SPEAKER_01 46:02

So I think they I think they put Sarah out of her misery because she was not having fun. She was spiralling. She just didn't look like like her exit interview with Drop You Buffs. I was like, oh, you're like it was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

SPEAKER_00 46:17

Oh, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 46:18

I don't know. I think it was I thought it was the right vote.

SPEAKER_03 46:21

Yeah, I look if it was me and I was in there, I would have made her suffer for at least one or two more votes just to hold on to the numbers. True. But yeah, but like there's so much that's going on that you don't see. So if Sarah was really spiraling more than what we were seeing, then alright, fair.

SPEAKER_01 46:36

Put alose. Yeah. Also, Kirby thought that Sarah was like gunning for her, but she wasn't really. She literally just one time was like, Oh, maybe Kirby's being a bit strange, which she was like, she is. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:51

All right, but uh, yeah, and then they're just I think that they've just handed uh the spot to the international.

SPEAKER_01 46:57

I think you're right. I think I am struggling to see an Aussie win now.

SPEAKER_03 47:02

Maybe sure, but like it breaks my heart because I'm rooting for them so much, but I just think it was this decision that really made it a thousand times harder for an Aussie to win the spot.

SPEAKER_01 47:16

Oh, but see, I hate a season where it's just like merge happens and then it's just like a one big alliance and they just cannibalize. That is the most boring season of survival you could hope for. And this is the Olympics of drag, right? So of course we're getting bizarre. Yeah, we're getting all shit. Uh Sari uh like flags this Sarah vote idea to the world girlies who do not trust it one bit. They're like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 47:43

Lisa was like, absolutely not. We are not they're telling us to vote for.

SPEAKER_01 47:48

But I was like, guys, I I would have felt the same, but I'm like, little do they know this is legit. I'm like, trust me.

SPEAKER_03 47:56

But that's how crazy is being in such a big like Olympic of drag because you just will just not believe anything that's being told to you, even if it's true. Crazy.

SPEAKER_01 48:06

Uh tribal Cass is like either the Aussies have cracks or we are being lied to. Yeah. Which sums it up perfectly. Nail the brief. Suri brings up toxic relationships, and Pav is like, girl, welcome to survivor. Like, all these relationships are toxic, which I thought was like it almost highlighted that Sari and Parv's gameplay styles are like actually incompatible. I don't think that like they're not going to the end together. I don't think.

SPEAKER_03 48:35

I don't think they will get past five together. Uh I think that that's when they're gonna start gunning for each other. So they have no choice.

SPEAKER_01 48:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:44

Because you've got to at that point you've got to start thinking about the goat that you're taking with you. Is that someone? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:49

And Sari is just so likable. Like, if Sari gets to that end, like I would vote her name probably. Oh, for sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:57

Yeah, but then if it comes down to like say parv and Suri, are you voting based on resume or are you voting based on personality?

SPEAKER_01 49:05

Well, totally personality. Yeah. For me. I don't know. I'd like to think I would be objective, but I don't think I would.

SPEAKER_03 49:14

Yeah, that's true. It's true. It's tough. It's tough.

SPEAKER_01 49:17

It's tough. Uh we get some whispering between Sari and the world girlies and Kirby's face. She's like, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 49:26

Yeah. She's, I think she's starting to recognize that she's losing control. And yeah, that being as a dom daddy, she ain't like that.

SPEAKER_01 49:33

Yeah. You couldn't ask, though, from production perspective, for a better merge first vote, because it's like three Janine, three Cass, three Sarah, one vote left. Like chef's kiss to this. And the last vote was for Sarah. And we say, see you later to Sarah.

SPEAKER_03 49:53

Ta-ta. And the way that she was gooped, loved it. Loved it. Totally surprised. That's what you want out of a blind slide, right? Exactly. You want that gag face.

SPEAKER_01 50:04

Alright, Ep6. Luke and Janine are pissed at Kirby. This is when we do like Janine being like, Kirby's just gone and fucked it up for us, hasn't she?

SPEAKER_03 50:14

She fucked it up for all of Australia.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

Thanks for still up, Kirby. Kirby's a fucking fucking bitch.

SPEAKER_03 50:24

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

So good. But Luke's like, I'm just gonna have to go on a world around the world trip.

SPEAKER_03 50:36

He's packed his passport and he's ready to go. Yeah, he's doing the round.

SPEAKER_01 50:40

Ready to go, which I think is the correct response. Oh, you'd have to. Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 50:44

You'd have to. You'd recognize that there was no legioncy within Australia, so you've just got to find out somebody else for sure.

SPEAKER_01 50:51

Exactly. Janine says to Parv, look, Cass is a viper ready to strike, which is correct. Yeah. Um, and then in a very roundabout way, tells Parv that Cass is going for her, which she just made that up straight up. Like, yeah, we just pulled that out of her ass. She was like, I fucking love Janine at this point. Because she's like, she's like, oh, I mean, Cass did tell me at one point that she was after the big threat, and you know, and then Pav is like, Did she say me? She's like, Yeah, well, maybe not no.

SPEAKER_03 51:27

Yeah, I'm not saying no, but maybe, yeah, because I think what I loved um in Janine's confessional, she was like, If I tell you that it's in your best interest, you better believe that it's in my best interest.

SPEAKER_01 51:40

And I was like, Oh, and that's why you are rich. Yeah. Uh Parvey's on the fence, though. She's like, she gets a little razzed up by that, and then she's like, hang on, Janine could be pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.

SPEAKER_03 51:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:57

Uh, but she does say another iconic line. She says, big mistake, huge.

SPEAKER_02 52:03

Big mistake, huge.

SPEAKER_01 52:06

It's Julia Roberts in this moment. It's from Pretty Woman. Pretty woman. Yes, brilliant. Brilliant. She got it's like drag race at this point. Like, has she got riders out there that are like the gay riders next to her that are giving her these?

SPEAKER_03 52:20

And then you've got because I reckon Sari's starting to come out of her little closet at this point as well, because she's giving us some brilliant one-liners in this. It's time to piss off the pot or get up.

SPEAKER_01 52:31

Get up, that's which is like my favorite expression of that. Also, Sari with the hat, like whatever hat that that looks like study, study. Oh god. The meme factory have been in overdrive this week.

SPEAKER_03 52:43

Oh, for sure. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 52:45

The immunity challenge is this weights from the Hyrux playbook of um endurance things. Looked really cooked.

SPEAKER_03 52:55

Um, and everybody's dropping within a minute. All the time. It's like two minutes. Lisa, Shawnee, and they're all just struggling to get up there.

SPEAKER_01 53:03

So Reed, Janine, Lisa all drop before two minutes, and then Sean drops after two minutes. Then we get, oh, this is Luke being shaded by JLP. It's never pretty, is it, Luke?

SPEAKER_03 53:15

But he had composed for a while. I was impressed. Yeah. And then towards the end, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:21

Then the two boys drop. Then it's Kirby, Cass, and Parv left. And of course, Kirby's out after 12 minutes, leaving yet another Cass and Pav showdown, which we love. But and even JLP's like, hey, Parv, what about this deal? What about your deal? And she's like, she just like shut the fuck up, JLP. You beautiful man.

SPEAKER_03 53:46

Shut.

SPEAKER_01 53:47

Shut the fuck up. And Kaz, like, should have if I was Cash, I would have cashed that in.

SPEAKER_03 53:53

Oh, a hundred percent. And that would have shown and if Parvity didn't drop after Cass brought it up, it would have showed everybody else that Parv's not a little a lady of her word.

SPEAKER_01 54:03

I was sure. Did she Kaz didn't seem bothered? Do you think she just wanted? Do you think she's pocketing it? She wants to use it in another one.

SPEAKER_03 54:10

Maybe. And I think that she felt she could see Parv struggling a little bit. So I think she was like, Oh, I've got this. I've got this.

SPEAKER_01 54:17

She's the SAS. Yeah, that's right. Big army.

SPEAKER_03 54:20

Cas has got muscles. Like she's built. Whereas Pav's wild. Do you know what I mean? So once those muscles run out, um Cassiata, like, hold on. So I think she knew that. It was delicious to watch. She's looking at her shoe. She's all like, I've got this. This is cake to me. Voila. Brilliant.

SPEAKER_01 54:43

Oh my god. Um, back at the Mut camp. It's all it's uh Pav tells Cass, hey, I've heard that you're coming for me. And she's like, What? I am absolutely not coming for you. It was like full denied deny.

SPEAKER_03 55:04

I did not say your name.

SPEAKER_01 55:06

Felt sincere, and it like was sincere. It was, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 55:10

I was gobbling it up for sure.

SPEAKER_01 55:13

Parv bought it. She's like, look, great, let's stick together then. Um, but she's also glad she's got an idol because there's a lot of different stories flying around this tribal.

SPEAKER_03 55:25

Totally. And then was it Janine who went up to Suri, right? To go for Kirby?

unknown 55:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:33

Was it the Janine goes to Sari? Yeah, that's right. And she's like, hey, yeah. Kirby's a bit of her.

SPEAKER_03 55:41

That's the smartest move she could have done because then she knows that that's gonna go straight into Pavia.

SPEAKER_01 55:47

Yeah, but Kirby's trying things, she circles back to the Aussies, she tries to get like a Lisa or a Tommy out, and I'm like, babes, that ship has fucking sailed. Unfortunately. Uh, and then Kirby acts like a crazy possessive girlfriend with Parv, and I was dying.

SPEAKER_03 56:05

I know. I'm like, what are you doing? How are you making these decisions? It's because she was putting badly, badly. Yeah, and she could see the cracks, and she could see that Parv was like half buying it. She was confused, the paranoia was brilliant to watch. I loved it. I loved it.

SPEAKER_01 56:23

So so good. Parv is torn. It's like she's either burning curbs or sorry tonight, pretty much.

SPEAKER_03 56:30

And what about Kirby's sneaky little um line? I was really mad at Ferris for not playing his idol for me.

SPEAKER_01 56:38

Yeah, I would hate it if someone did that to me again. Yeah, yeah. Because does Kirby know Kirby must know about that idol?

SPEAKER_03 56:49

She must, yeah. They must be older.

SPEAKER_01 56:51

Yeah. Uh she's spiraling a bit. It's Sarah's style spiraling at this point. She tells the Ferris story. Parv says that like she knows that Kirby would like take a bullet for her, and she's like, I've pretty much got a dragon, and I'm Khaleesi.

SPEAKER_03 57:07

I'm Khesi, and I've got the exact little fire dragon.

SPEAKER_01 57:10

Perfect. From pretty woman to gametron. She understood the assignment because Australian Survivor love a like pop culture reference.

SPEAKER_03 57:17

Oh, for sure. They love it. They got bought up. Yeah, she definitely did a research, I think. Poverty. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:23

Alright, a tribal Kirby gets outed straight away for being a little bit messy and a little bit of a huge threat.

SPEAKER_03 57:31

Which I kind of feel bad for her because she's got such a good track record, and we're all allowed to like slip up every now and then. So I was kind of like, oh, I didn't want her to be called out so obnoxiously.

SPEAKER_01 57:43

I was devastated because like I fucking love Kirby. Yeah. And I was reading for her. But at the same time, she definitely made this happen, and we we saw that in the edit. So for me, it like felt correct.

SPEAKER_03 57:59

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I think it was definitely time. And like, and the fact that she had fucked over so many people and it all came to light, and she was trying to deflect it, but it kept coming back. I was just like, oh, sinking into my ambulance chair, delivering a baby.

SPEAKER_01 58:20

Literally, not now. This shant happening. Yeah. Oh my god. And then, yeah, JLP asks, anyone want to play an idol? And Kirby does them the look. Look, and Parvity's like nails. Sari gets a few votes with her name incorrectly spelt, which I love. She's like, Lisa got my name correctly.

SPEAKER_03 58:49

But you know what the best it was? Um, on Kirby's vote, where Cass spelt it French. Kirbet. She spelt it with an E at the end. Kirbet. I was like, yes.

SPEAKER_01 59:01

Way to let everyone know who you voted for, Cass. Like there's like accents on all the E's. Oh my god. It's one vote, Lisa, which we saw was Kirby's. And then the Kirby votes rolling, and it's game over for our girl. The torchless stars. Luke's like, oh, Kirb's got toasted. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 59:26

Shit. I know. And then I felt so bad for her in her interview. She was just like shattered.

SPEAKER_01 59:33

She had no words. She goes, I've got nothing for you except shattered. I was like, oh I was like, give her a minute.

SPEAKER_03 59:39

Yeah. And that's when you know that someone's hurting when they're actually speechless. They have zero words. They're in pain.

SPEAKER_01 59:46

Oh, I haven't watched her exit interview yet, so I'll have to. The drop your bus one? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 59:52

I haven't watched it either.

SPEAKER_01 59:53

I'll have to watch it. They're very good. I think that was a great choice to fly Sean and Ricard out there with Nick Ardanza. It's that they're like really having fun.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:03

Yeah, perfect. I'll have to do a catch-up on boat because I want to stay.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:07

What are you who are you rooting for now coming into the final week?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:11

So look, I'm going because I'm such a loyal Australian. Uh my oldies, I'm going for in order of preference, it would be Luke, Shawnee, Janine. Then my internationals, I want Cass, Parv, Sorey, and then Tommy, and then Lisa. I love Lisa. I love all these two. So all of them. You want everyone. But I want Cass.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:34

I would love for Cass to take out the I'm so here for Cass, but I'm also here for the Shon Tent. I feel like the Shantent is playing Parvity's game better than Parvity. Because she's like doesn't seem like a threat at all, but she fucking is.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:50

Oh, absolutely. If she gets to a certain point in the game, there's gonna be no stopping her. I think they've all underestimated her.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:57

A Parv Sean final two would just set the world on fire.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:03

Gobble, gobble, gobble. Give it to me.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:07

Darling, uh, we did it. Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:10

That's okay. I want more from the challenges. I want some of the boys' challenges. I'm kind of sick of these slow endurance challenges. I want some athletic running, jumping. I want puzzle, maybe? A puzzle could do.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:23

Has there been any puzzles? No, no. American viewers are like, what is this show? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:32

How much have we got four episodes left, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:01:35

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:35

Yeah, brilliant. And so, and how much longer do they have to play their idols? Because we're running out of time.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:40

True. Is it always before five?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:44

Yeah, I think you can't use them after five.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:46

That's pretty fucking soon.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:48

Yeah. There's three out there, so tick tock people.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:51

Well, next week's obviously gonna be idle week because we haven't had any played yet, so yeah, it's gonna be back. I reckon we're gonna see multiple played in one tribal.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:03

Yeah, very funny. Yeah, because they previewed that um Parv's gonna have to make a tough choice in the next episode, so we'll see. Yeah, girl. I'm kidding. Everyone wants to play with Parv. Yeah, I would want to play with Parv. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:17

All right, doll. Well, what a fun ride recapping with you this week. Um, delightful. Thank you so much for having me finally.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:26

And next time to Melbourne, I want to come with your apartment because I want to hold that microphone to my channel.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:32

Yeah, we'll do it today.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:34

Perfect. See you then, babe. Bye, babe.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:37

Bye.
