Feel like we're in for an absolutely wild ride this season! So many big personalities
Should get really crazy when the other tribes start losing.
I cackled out loud when Soda went to grab the idol again this episode and Venus was pissed
I love that the producers highlighted it! That feud is coming to a head soon!
Anyone else picture the Spiderman meme when the 2 women on the sit out bench were talking to each other?
Yes, it was incredible!
Yes! hahaha
7:53 great topic of discussion, the person who "should have gone" almost always goes the next time and the team loses twice.
Some examples of this mistake: Cagayan, 46, which others?
@@BigShowGunnoeIn the New Era, I would say both Nneka and Geo in 43 fall under this
Great to see Phil and Will but also loveeee Alexa and hope she’s doing well!
Alexa is doing great!
Sorry im resubing!!! I thought your thumbnails had spoilers!😂
Nope! We hate spoilers! All of our thumbnails are made on Sunday or Monday of that week!
“Villians have more fun” - Abi Maria. I swear every season of survivor the causal watchers of the show don’t realize the point of the game is the backstab and do whatever it takes to win. No matter who the person is, if they don’t serve a purpose to your game, get rid of them.
Abi-Maria is the voice of reason!
Venus and Randen getting strong Odd Couple energy. Alliance of necessity for sure. Venus is closer allined to Randen’s idol rather than Randen himself
Yup! And that may end being how she's able to get further than him.
12:19 I feel like if I had watched this between episodes 2 & 3 (I only found your podcast like a week ago) I would agree a bit more, but I’m curious if your opinion has changed at all about the two hour episode, or the way it was edited, after we got another three hours of getting to know even more about Yanu-especially Bhanu.
The reason they couldn’t put the puzzle together from one side was that the two end pieces were actually slightly inset into the base of the arch in a little hole with plastic walls. These walls would prevent the final piece from sliding in if everything else was lined up. You can see this in the challenge when the survivors are setting the side pieces
@ Will!
You could still build it all from one side, except for the last 2 pieces. Then put in the side piece, then the final piece is the second piece in from one of the sides. Would be much easier than trying to end in the middle.
@23:16 I agree with Phil and Will. Planting a fake idol isn't bullying when shot in the dark exists.
Reminds me of high school picking on the nice Asian kid.
nah it was unnecessary because Jess wasn't even gonna use the shot in the dark :P she was so clearly out of it and not invested :P they did too much.
Will has obviously never built a block arch at an science museum or elsewhere. You can’t apply the force to keep the middle top block in place, the angle is wrong. The middle top must always be put in last. Hunter the science teacher understood that.
Additionally, someone in the comments said there was a lip that made it impossible for them to insert the last piece.
Even if there wasn't a lip, physics is just not on your side if you don't build towards the middle. @survivorspecialists
I've done it before with other puzzle pieces. If the pieces are all exactly the same, which they appear to be here, then you can certainly build from one side. You just need to have pressure coming from multiple points along the arch. Maybe that wasn't clear enough, but if you have people along the way applying outward pressure at the proper angles, it can definitely be done.
20:49 My issue with the idol play is that to me it felt like they were just doing it to make “big move,” because Jess could’ve easily still played her sitd and then the idol. Especially when they made it so obvious it was a fake idol. She had 3 of her 4 tribe mates telling her she needed an idol because she wasn’t safe, and it’s like, if you’re concerned enough to help me get an idol why don’t you just not vote for me?
Plus, the people who were in on the plan still had the majority of the votes, so if Jess had played her sitd and it hit, they could’ve just voted out Bhanu. If anything I would’ve saved the fake idol play until we were down to 4, because then your 3 person alliance would really be in trouble (they didn’t know Bhanu was gonna lose his vote).
My issue with Kenzie and Tiff this episode was just that it felt like they were punching down when it came to Jess, because she wasn’t fighting back. But I also recognize that I’m biased towards Jess as a fellow neurodivergent person who has most likely been made fun of behind my back because of my disability.
I’m glad y’all are enjoying the season because all of the negative discourse surrounding the show no matter what happens is becoming tiresome. Sure, I have many gripes myself, but this is still quality tv and we should appreciate the fact it’s still kicking at this point. My current favorites are Venus, Tiffany, Q, Kenzie, Hunter, and Tevin. I need more time with the green tribe. Also really liked Jess despite her struggles, I’m drawn to her personality and calming voice lol.
I've always said that us Survivor fans will complain no matter what. Thought last night's episode was very entertaining!
@@survivorspecialiststhe editing was fantastic. Especially the scene when the building blocks were falling down and the slow losing violin music after the tribe lost.
this season has been great so far. I love how randen and Venus teamed up, and ben is SUCH a vibe guy. Charlie and Ben could definitely be a funny duo
Charlie and Ben going far could be a very fun pair. Hoping they stick around. So excited to see how Randen and Venus work out.
no they would have still possibly lost the challenge with Jelinski
charlie doesn't have great wingspan and is 5'10 not that tall and they still won,
the comp was about team work
and they were too focused on condemning jess instead of working together,
they didn't even put jess on the right spot for the challenge she couldn't even reach.
I had the same idea as Will about the challenge .. Going on one side. I thought that was the way to go.
Say it with me, we like villiains 👏
We LOVE villains
I had the same idea as will about the blocks. Starting on one side. I think that would've been smarter to do...
Venus is the GOAT protect her at all costs
Need her to stay badly.
I wish we got 2 hours later in the season instead of early in the season. Until a tribe votes, they aren't even really playing. That is why there were so many silly scenes going on instead of people talking game. An alliance isn't real until they vote.
Yeah, Survivor definitely had their backs against the wall with this episode since it was a predictable boot from the tribe that already went.
I didn’t see it as bullying but as trying to embarrass someone, the same as Angelina did to Alison. I don’t mind “villain” strategy such as alliance flipping, bluffing, etc. but when it gets personal, it’s kind of gross.
I agree with that. I think Jess took it well which was good to see so I’m not upset about it.
I hear what you're saying, but I do think that they had to do this so that she wouldn't play the shot in the dark, so there was a strategic purpose behind their actions.
Loving this season. Everyone is a mutant. Its giving Gabon
one of the secret scenes made Tevin look way worse he was really disrespectful to Venus
Which may be better for Tevin that they left it out.
i'm vibing with Venus as well, also like Kenzie, Tiffany and Q. also seeing Q's name in the intro was funny, just one letter.
First time ever! So strange to see!
Q has an old school male vibe feel.
@@survivorspecialists can't go shorter than 1 letter, unless they just show the picture without the name
The arch puzzle issue has to be answered by ppl w practical irl experience with it.
Hot take-Kenzie and Tiffany are the reason Jeff said no more villains! To me they are villains!
i liked jess and kind of felt bad for her towards the end of this episode but for the sake of the strategic gameplay for the rest of the season, Kenzie needed to stay.
There was no way to justify booting an energized Kenzie over Jess at that point.
I enjoyed this episode and am enjoying this season. Glad I don’t look online cause it seems the response is negative.
I’d agree some of the segments were drawn out like the Taylor Swift Metallica thing, but I’ll take that if it means I know wtf is going on, who people are and why people make the moves they do
Stay away from the rest of the internet. People were not happy!
Oh I disagree so much. The idol stuff, sure, I also think is just gameplay and sort of necessary with the shot in the dark out there. But getting personal on the confessionals felt very icky and unnecessary, saying she can't even spell perspective, is too dumb to spot the idol, yelling at the challenge, blaming it all on her.... that was pretty mean bullying to me. I don't need 'villains' like that. Gameplay villains, yes, steal, lie, manipulate, use people's own idols against themselves, that's all so fun. But calling names, getting personal ugh... hated the episode =/
No arguments about the confessional stuff. That didn't personally bother me, but if it bothered you it's totally understandable. A lot of the complaints that were being made were at the gameplay feeling mean-spirited and that just doesn't seem fair.
@@survivorspecialists Yeah I agree, I think maybe what caused the sentiment was that the idol stuff was being intercut with the confessionals and that might have soured 'the move' to people (it certainly did to me). But generally I love a good ol' fake idol play :)
bhandu needs to seek help
💯
Help at holding up puzzle pieces.
20:00 God Phil, thank you for speaking the truth on this. Let people play the fucking game.
Glad you enjoyed it! I was heated over it.
The purple tribe yanu is a hot mess. I'm still rooting for my man Q, although the fake idol thing was unnecessary and I don't like how easy it was for him to do that, but he came to play! That challenge was ridiculous, I wonder if they'll ever do it again lol. I like Bhani even though he's dramatic. At this point my favorites are Q, Ben, Randen, Venus, Maria, and Bhani. Stacked cast. I continue to love the 90 minute episodes!
ACDC for the songs competition.
Great episode but man am I rooting for Bhanu to GO
Does ACDC have 108 songs? Don't know enough about them! But I'll trust you on this.
@survivorspecialists 18 studio albums, about 10 songs each.
WOW
9:32 exactly right, I still don't fully get Q's reasoning for voting out Jelinsky.
43:49 i would choose The beatles or Justin Bieber lol
The Beatles definitely have enough songs! Does Justin Bieber?
@@survivorspecialists probably not but I know all of them hahah
Well that counts for something!
They needed Kenzie out and wasted the chance here. She is dangerous and this will come back to hunt them.
I think Tiffany feels incredibly close to her. Really it just seems bad for Bhanu and Q (if they lose two more times before the merge)
genuine question: is will phil's brother and vice versa?
We are not related. Thank goodness.
This is what I think will happen:
Winner: Jem
Runner-up: Venus
Second Runner up: Charlie
Fallen Angel: Ben
5th place: Tiffany
6th place: Tevin
7th place: Randen
8th place: Q
9th place: Kenzie
10th place: Hunter
11th place: Maria
12th place: Tim
13th place: Mo
14th: place: Liz
15th place: Soda
16th place: Bhanu
Based on what we've seen thus far this really wouldn't surprise me at all.
Jess is too nice and naive to play Survivor. Not sure why she even applied.
💯
She is Canadian, they are nice.
@@CUDDLES55 Venice is Canadian and she is not nice
I don't think it's the nice part. It's the ADHD. She can't stay at the required level of focus in this kind of environment. The lack of regularly scheduled meals and rest is gonna send her into a spiral real quick. Terrible casting yet again. Stop trying to check boxes. This game is stressful, stop casting people with anxiety issues (Brandon) and Jess
I wouldn’t say that was her issue. She just didn’t have good game awareness and wasn’t good in challenges.
Hey guys. Long time listener, first time commenting...
Could you do something about the thumbnails? It's very spoilery on the youtube's main page even without opening the video - you see main characters of the episode...
Thanks for the comment! Thumbnail was made days ago, and we did it based off of our power rankings. These were the three people we had ranked the lowest in our power rankings. That's how we're going to continue to do it moving forward. It really just worked out that these three were the main characters of the episode. That won't always be the case unless we're really good at predicting! Thanks for listening and supporting us!
@@survivorspecialistsMight your thumbnails get a little same-samey if the same couple of people are on the bottom for a large part of the season?
We have plans for that as well! We won't use the same people on a thumbnail back-to-back weeks! So even if Randen and Venus are at the bottom for us this week, they won't be there this time!
I think Q flips on Kenzie if Bhanu wasn’t such an emotional wreck
Agreed. But Q can't go through this game and win with Bhanu and Jess as his closest allies.
@@survivorspecialists true even though I don’t think (based on Q and Tifanny’s conversation) Tiffany wouldn’t be too upset with Q if he did do this where she wouldn’t align with him anymore
Yeah, but Tiffany is so close with Kenzie, it would have definitely shocked her. She just wouldn't have any other options.
If I was Jess I think I would’ve still played my shot in the dark bc if you think everyone is voting bhanu then your vote won’t matter. And when your shot most likely doesn’t work then you can play the fake idol. I guess what I’m saying is there was no reason for her not to play her shot just bc she had the idol. She still would have left regardless if her shot didn’t work but I think she can play both right? Or am I missing something?
She can play both. Based on her exit press, I just don't think her brain was functioning at full capacity!
I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel like Kenzie is playing the game wayy harder than she should be. I feel like she’s lucky her tribe mates were bhanu and Jess in that moment when she tried to be strategic because that could’ve completely turned on her if bhanu and Jess were a little more savvy. If her other teammates are already realizing this early how hard she is already playing than I see that as scary for her game later on.
Last week, I said she was playing the best game, but now I totally agree she's going way too hard. But I love to see that on Survivor! Play like it's your second time!
She is giving the Elie Scott vibes from season 43 after the last episode in terms of hard gameplay early on. We will see if she will be able to reign it in and pull a bit of a Gabler.
IMO it would be bulling if the shot in the dark wasn't there. If they did just to be mean that would be bad, however they had a legit reason to make a fake idol.
Yeah, there was a legitimate reason for doing this. Some people are saying it's cause they were making fun of her in the shelter. I can almost guarantee every single player has done this to another player, but we don't see it cause episodes aren't long enough.
I just don't think Jess was ever thinking of going for the shot in the dark she didn't even wanna be there,
she even said in her exit interview,
they didn't have to go all out to get me out ,
they could just voted me out. :P
I don't think Jess was "bullied". She wasn't even that upset about it. She seemed relieved to be voted out. I think the screaming at the challenge was a lot, but they might have been doing that for an hour. It was a really hard challenge, so i get that they were very frustrated.
I do think that the show casts some people that are not nice people right now. I think they just don't show it on screen. There is a reason certain people are in the no chance of winning camp and it is because they go out there and are rude to people the entire time and the show tries to hide it; it is hard to for the show to hide it. The person might even get taken to the end, but they aren't getting votes.
Yeah, Jess also responded to a tweet from Carolyn about "screaming men" by saying she loves Bhanu and will always defend him or something like that. I don't think Jess felt bullied. And even if she did, I don't understand why this has become viewed as a criminal and unforgivable act by Survivor players.
Eventually these people will call for Survivor to be canceled because voting people off an island is too mean 😑
HAHA!
Since Tiffany and Randen lost their vote with the beware advantage, they officially lost their vote. It doesn't matter if they got it back before they had to vote. They should be counted as losing their vote.
this podcast gives me MAGA vibes so hard lol
Sorry you feel that way. This is an entirely baseless accusation. Thanks for listening.
Very weird take
I’ve watched this channel since when Will was on initially, a decade ago, and I’ve never got that sense.
Also got these vibes. They don’t even listen to eachother when one of them has facts
