This is How You Repay Him?! (Survivor 50 Recap)

Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge recap Survivor 50 episodes 11-12, discussing Devon's coin flip for $1M, Ozzy's fatal idol mistake, and Suri's blindside elimination. They analyze gameplay strategy, challenge performance, and jury management as the season approaches its finale with five players remaining.
Insights
- Positive energy and manifest behavior correlates with idol-finding success; Devon's proactive early-morning searches yield consistent results despite social friction
- Emotional storytelling at tribal council may serve dual purposes: genuine vulnerability and strategic jury-building, making authenticity difficult to assess
- Suri's manipulation power stems from emotional intelligence and loyalty signaling rather than flashy moves, allowing her to control votes while staying under the radar
- Rizzo's success comes from calculated risk-taking (not playing idol twice) combined with Suri's protection, but luck-based strategy is unsustainable long-term
- Challenge performance is overweighted by players but underweights actual winning outcomes; Suri's poor challenge record didn't prevent her deep run
Trends

I missed you so much. I missed you. And you know, it's not the same without you. I think we're a great team, but I was forced to really get into this and learn more and yeah and learn like how to interview when they told me I had to interview someone for the first time in my life. I basically shit my pants. But yeah, I learned. I feel like, you know, I'm better at it now. I'm no Wells, but thank you for being a great mentor. I'm amazed you haven't had to interview some for all the years you've been in show business. They've never made you do interviews on red carpets and stuff. No. Really? Yeah. I don't think housewives usually get that. You know, who's been great at that, though? Your girlfriend. Yeah, I am Chanel. I am. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She she called me before it was maybe the Emmys or something. I don't know what it was. And she was like, what do I do? And I was like, oh, I got you. And I gave her all these suggestions to do. And then she killed. So you know, it gave them to me. But well, you weren't maybe you thought I didn't need them. I don't know. But I listen. I listen to the episodes. I don't think you need them. I think you did an amazing job. And thank you. So grateful that you were able to kind of carry the weight while I was off in Austin filming a new reality show. Well, congratulations to you and they were lucky to have you. So we're lucky to have you back and I'm not going to say I'm sharing you anymore. So they're going to have to get over it. I'm so bummed that I miss the show when I miss the show because I feel like I go during the best season. Well, Mr. Beast came on. Jimmy, which by the way, I didn't know that was his name. Jimmy, but I didn't know that. I don't think it matters what his name is anymore. Did you know who Mr. Beast was before Survivor? Yes, of course. Who doesn't? Because my nephew, little Louie, is into him and a lot of the kids. I'm a kid person, so I'm always talking to them about their stuff. And like they would wait on a line of thousands of people to see this guy. He seems like a really decent human being. Yeah, I don't know everything about what he does, but he seems brilliant. I mean, effectively, he gives away a lot of money. Like that's the the idea of what he gets the money from. From like YouTube money, I guess. I want to meet him. I do, too. I want just some of his money. I'd like a loan. But anyways, he gave a million of his dollars to Survivor, which was very cool. And then the way that they did it, I mean, I know you got you already talked about it, but like how cool was that moment where Devon was like, I absolutely want to flip this coin for a million dollars. And like no qualms about it knew he was in trouble anyways. And then flips it. The coin rolls around for a while and then the last editing here is amazing. So freaking good. But also, it would have been electric television if he lost it, too. You know? And you know, he won the million dollar pot for everybody. Now it's two million and they still don't. He still got on everybody's nerves. Did you want to cut him some slack guys? He just did pull that off. I was thinking the same thing. I was like, this guy just doubled the pot for everyone involved. And you're still going after him because he did like a fake idol. They're just mad. They didn't think of it. Yeah. I tell you what, though, the other thing that I that I really liked with Devon's, I think is my favorite character in this show. I really really well, Christian was just so funny and like quirky and ever since he pooped his pants. Yeah. Yeah, he grabbed himself. But Devon's I mean, he's got one he's got like this like lust for life. He's wearing a suit and tie to these things. Like he really looks like you got to love him. He's a quirky guy. I think you got to be a little on the quirky side to even want to do this. Yeah. Yeah, I love that he wears the suit and tie to tribal because it's like he does look like he did get into a filthy, dirty. I know it smells. But I love the play with Emily like it was like this fun. I almost thought it was going to work. I knew I knew it wouldn't because it was getting so much screen time where like it's going to be a misdirect. But like, you know, trying to get Suri out by Emily, trying to convince everyone that Devon's was going to give her his immunity or his idol. And then they can flip the votes because everyone will have gone for Devon's. But really, Devon's is going to use his idol to save himself. And then the last two votes, which will be Emily and Devon's will be to Suri. And it almost it was so close to working. It was it was but close. It doesn't count here. Yeah. Yeah. Horseshoes and hand grenades, right? I did like the idea of it and I thought it was fun. And I understand just in terms of the players wanting to get Devon's out because he has played such a fun, interesting, compelling game that if he gets to the end, I think the jury is going to be there. That he will have one of everyone over. But he didn't like the people that are he's with don't like him. Hey, I don't really understand why they don't. He gets on their nerves. And and how does he always find the idols? Yeah. What is it about him that even though like people dislike him, they have respect for his game? Yeah, which is fine. But nobody finds idols like this guy. What is it about? What is the inspector gadget? Like what's he he goes? He wakes up early, goes to look for stuff, you know, always finds it. What's that all about? Is that locker skill? Yeah, I don't I mean, I don't know. I think that. You know, he I think he gives himself the opportunity to be successful in that venture. And I almost think that he he seems like one of those guys like manifests what he wants. You know, he seems like a very positive guy. And I could see him be positive. I'm going to go out and I'm going to find this thing. And then he does, I think for the most part, it's his positive energy. Yeah. And he's got such a soft heart. Like, you know, he's like, I'm laying in bed and I'm looking at the sky. And I know that somebody's watching me every time I see a falling star. And, you know, he's got he's you. It's hard to dislike him. Yeah, which makes me confuse as to why the rest of the cast kind of like is irked by him or like it grinds they he grinds their gears. Because the what I'm seeing on TV, it just seems like a really lovable, affable, gregarious person that I think I would want to be around. Like, I don't think there's a huge difference between Rizzo and Devans. And that's a good point. And, you know, Tiff feels the same way that you do, although Tiff's got a right on Rizzo because the huge difference between Devans and Rizzo is Rizzo is much more calculated than we're giving him credit for. In a sneaky way, when it comes time to turn on someone, he does not care. He does it. And I feel like Devans has more of a emotional attachment to things. Then Rizzo does. Yeah. Speaking of like Rizzo turning on people, the thing, the other thing that I that I missed out on when I was gone, that I just thought was just like such compelling television was the Aussie of it all going out and kind of spilling his guts to Aubrey, you know, telling her basically, you know, it was an interesting play because I think that he just he was counting his chickens before they hatched, right? He assumed he was going to be there at the end. Then he was playing this game to to kind of coerce future jury members to vote for him. And then Aubrey did I think a really smart move, which might have completely flipped the entire script around where she goes and tells everyone about it. What did he think she was going to do? Yeah, I think that he thought he was so convinced that Aubrey was going to be going home that he wanted to befriend her. She was on the chopping block. 100 percent. But that anybody I knew to all of this, even I know that changes on a dime. Yeah, nobody's out until they're on the other until their torch till he hits that torch and puts it out. Nobody is out. Totally. And here's the thing. Ozzie had so unpredictable. Ozzie had an opportunity to not have his torch quenched because he had the freaking idol. And this isn't even the first time that he had a dream, he said. And that's how we went home last time. I know. Then he has a dream that he goes home without using his idol. And then he doesn't use his idol again that night. How do you live with that? Like, how do you live with that? Listen, in this episode, though, he this is last episode, he comes to this huge revelation about his dad, right? Yeah. And I feel like if I had to be spiritual about this, because I would have to say that maybe his reason for being in this game and being on this island was accomplished. And it was time for him to go home after he came to this revelation. Like, if I was him, that's the only way I'd make it home without wanting to. Yeah. I don't I don't know if I believe this, but I just want to get your thoughts on it. You know, everyone kind of, especially at tribal, you know, Jeff will ask them some some sort of question that's a leading question to get emotional, right? So Ozzy does it about his dad, you know, Rick does it about, you know, the all the stars in in Fiji. And there's a part of me that wonders if this is a lot of posturing to garner goodwill with the jury down the line of like, remember, he gave that wonderful speech about the thing, you know, I think maybe we should vote for him. And I don't know if I'm I don't know if I believe that, like it's not authentic, but I do think that there's all arterial motives with those stories that are really pulling our heart strings. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there could be. There's there's a motive behind everything in this game. Yeah. And Jeff, by the way, is amazing host. He is so good. Yeah. He is not. He doesn't have a earpiece in. He speaks from the hip. He I mean, he's been doing it. I mean, we're at 50 seasons now, like, but he's really good. Shaheem is telling us. Yeah, he is. I'm very, very impressed with. Well, you being a host, you should know, like the host, like his hosts go. Absolutely. And he has to get through a lot of dialogue to kind of like set the stage, especially a tribal. He has to be like, all right, this, this, this and happen and this, happen and this, happen. And then like, Sarri, what did you think about this? And like, and it seems like it's all top on the top of his head. And I imagine he he scripts it out. But what makes him so good is that it sounds so natural. You can tell there aren't very many cuts like he's just explained. Oh, always first take. Yeah. Always. And then and then explaining the games, explaining the challenges off the top of his head. And he does not. He never screws up. And then he also has to be like the, you know, the color man. And in the games being like, oh, Sarri's fallen, fallen behind and Joe's, you know, moving. Yeah, he's a commentator. Yeah, that's not easy, too. There's he's doing play by play and he's doing commentating. Anyways, yeah, Jeff is I'm very impressed with him. And I felt bad, though, he has to hug people when they leave and they smell. And, you know, he doesn't like it. I don't care what anybody says. Yeah. But that show has made him a lot of money. I'm sure. I'll go away. I'll go away. You know, he could shower. They can't. Yeah. What you didn't know you could get club card prices on Tesco travel insurance. Get away.

Let's get into this episode, Episode 12. Back a camp after the two tribal councils. Cere here is Ozzie spilling his entire game plan. She calls him a fucking idiot. Um. Yeah, I just can't believe what do you think about him getting voted out? Was it wanted? He made very fatal mistakes. Yeah, I would want him out if I if I'm being honest. He's a player that would scare me. He's a player that I think the jury would vote for. And so I think it was a smart move by everybody. I just feel bad for him because he truly felt so. Um. Blindsided. When when Rizzo didn't protect him. Yeah. I felt that I saw a different side of Rizzo. Mm hmm. That I would now know that he actually may have a chance of winning this game. Yeah, and Rizzo says something interesting. He's like, I have my reasons. I'll tell you later or something. And I'm sure Ozzie's like, whatever, that's that's BS. Oh, yeah, he didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear it. And you know what? Ozzie in so many words dug his own grave. Absolutely. He did. Listen, he had an opportunity. He just didn't see it coming. What made him think that he wasn't up for this? What made him think? Yeah, I think that he's not as. Observant as like, say, Rizzo is like, Rizzo has his idol and he doesn't. He will not use it, but he's right about where the votes are going. Every night where Ozzie wasn't in. So that's why I think that Rizzo is playing a smarter game than Ozzie did because I was unable to pick up on it. You could tell now they're so immersed in the game. It's getting harder. Towards the end, it gets very hard. You know, you're the paranoia hits. You get if you had somebody who was by your side this whole time, they're starting to look at you. You're starting to look at them almost like you're so hungry physically and mentally and wanting this game so bad that like, see the old cartoons where the where the like animal in the cartoon so hungry, it starts to look at their friend like a piece of meat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm old. Those are the cartoons when I grew up, but I think, yeah. But that's that's what I feel like now after this tribal and after this banishment, this is everybody now looking at each other like that. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they can they can smell the finish line at this point. Very hard, very hard place in the game. Devon's, you know, I think throws a Hail Mary here, except before the sun rises, searching for an idol finds nothing. I would be annoyed. Jonathan gets as Jonathan's like, well, we got to go with him. And then he Jonathan kind of follows him around. If I was Rick, I'd be like, go away. I'm doing this is my thing. I'm trying to find a not go look over. He didn't. Rick was really nice about it. He goes, what do you want? He goes, I'm looking for my contact, you know, he's like, he made a joke about it because Rick isn't a nasty guy. Like you would have yelled at John. You would have said to John, they get out of here. And, you know, Rick is likeable. Like you said, I agree with you. He's unpredictable. And I think that's what scares the other players. But he is me at this point in the game likeable. Yeah. I mean, there's a part of me that was really hoping that producers would hide another idol for Rick because I want him to stay in the game. But it being a game with money involved, that would have been two million dollars. No less. Like, yeah, that would have been against standard and practices. If they're like, you know, playing favoritism. Oh, right. Right. OK, got it. Yeah. But I was I was hoping I was hoping upon hope that he was fine. Something out there. And I wonder, like, I'd love to, you know, have Jeff on one time to be like, are there a bunch of idols out there that like never get found, you know, like, is there more out there that just are hidden too well? Or is everything usually found or something's not found? Do they move it so it will be found? You know, I don't know. All right. So for the challenge for this episode, the players at the balance a wobbly table while stacking blocks that spell immunity. There's also a reward, a barbecue back at camp. Ribs. Ribs is. Yeah, God, can you imagine how good those ribs must be and those beers, by the way? But so Joe seems to be moving in slow motion, but it totally works. What would you have done? Would you have tried to do it faster or would you have done that? I don't I honestly would not be a challenge beast here. I don't know. See, I even know the lingo now since you've been gone. So these are really hard to do. And you really have to think and you have to have patience for these games, which I don't have at all. Siris, horrible at challenges, by the way, in case you haven't noticed. She's like, horrible, terrible. Yeah. These things are so hard. They're almost not even humans can do. I don't even know who could do this. But yeah, I wouldn't have done it. It's interesting, like, you know, these challenges are important for people who are good at challenges. And then for people who are, it doesn't really matter. Like case in point, Suri is terrible at these things, but she is still around, right? And then you have Tiffany, who's great at these things. And that has helped her stay around. You know, it seems it's interesting, it's it's not as important to winning the game as like other things. Like, let's say the challenge, you know, right? Are even traders, right? Like traders doesn't really matter about them. The no, the challenge is whatever you call them in traders. It doesn't matter because it's not individual. It goes into a pot. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you can't get immunity or whatever. You know, you won't you can't be killed by if you get a shield. Yeah, right. And I never really fought for the shields. Yeah. Made Tom in sand of all this whole face. Think that I was a trader because I never fought for a shield. Meanwhile, it's just that I don't like to take things from other people. So yeah, but but that's the case there. I don't know if it was more of a it's just it would be a different game. Traders would be a different game if it didn't all go into a pot. Yeah, I agree. Back at Camp Jonathan and Suri actually break a hammock. Then Jonathan tells her that they want to vote out Rizzo tonight. Obviously, Suri does not want to vote another ally out. So she tells Jonathan and Tiff that it should be Devon's tonight. You know, I understand why Suri doesn't want to get Rizzo out because he is such a big ally to her. So she thinks. Very true. But I also think that this was a golden opportunity to get the Rizgat out. And I don't understand why everyone's following Suri so blindly. Because Suri, for some reason, has a very calming effect on people. She never loses her cool. She's very loyal to the people who are close to her. I also think that Jonathan's easily manipulated. And for some reason, Jonathan really doesn't like Rick Devon's. And I think it's an easy sell for Suri to be like Jonathan. I want you to help me get Rick out. We don't need to get Rizzo out yet. But the thing is, is that Devon's is a sitting duck. He has no idol where Rizzo does. So he's a he's a truly a threat in comparison to Devon's. The only thing that Devon has is if he gets to the end, it's a good chance. He's going to win because everyone's going to love the way he's played this game. The only reason Rizzo is still there is because of Suri. The only reason I agree and Tiff is much smarter at saying. If Rizzo gets to the end, he's going to win the vote. He's going to win it. We got to get him out with his idol. We have to somehow get him out, right? Yeah, I don't know why no one's listening to her. I I listen. I hear her talk and I'm like, I agree with Tiffany. I always agree with Tiffany. Yeah. At Tribal Council, Devon's gets emotional talking about the stars and the sky and the shooting stars and starts crying and everyone else starts crying, which is which is kind of nice. If you went back to Scotland again for traders, what's something that you'd look forward to seeing a second time around? Oh, God, all of it. Yeah. But what's all of it? I think the most thing that I loved so much was looking out the window in the breakfast room at any given time of the day. I mean, the sun didn't go down till three o'clock, but I loved to watch the rolling hills and the cows were always out. Yeah. It was the most beautiful serene scenery, almost like looking out the window at a painted picture. Yeah, that breakfast nook. You never see what we're all looking at, but you're right. That there's, you know, if you're if you're if you're Alan, on the left of Alan, there's a huge window that overlooks basically the entire grounds of the estate and there's these beautiful green lush rolling hills. You're right. There was cows there. There are people like hiking through and camping through. So beautiful. You know what? You know what I would miss? What I loved about Scotland was the peacocks. So when you pull into the grounds, there's a huge, I don't know how many feet, 20 foot wooden cross. Yeah. So the day I'm leaving, they still don't give us our phone. Right. If there was a picture that I wanted so badly, I'm going back to do my last bit of press there before I go home. And the peacock is standing in front of the cross with its feathers out. And it was a picture that just stays in my mind. And I asked the kid that I was with, I said to him, can you please take a picture of that to me and send it to me? And he never did. He's afraid of losing his job. Yeah, you can't do that. But it was I think that now that I'm saying this, I may even have it painted one day. Yeah, that's how beautiful of a memory it was for me. And I couldn't take a picture. Don't get my phone. Yeah, I love I love the peacocks and I love that they're kind of like a starring like character on that show. Sad to see Devons goes, you know, he tries to use his shot in the dark. Well, unfortunately for Devons, his shot in the dark did not work. He's out of nothing. Yeah. It was a bummer. I am kind of going back to what we talked about at the top of the show is like the dude got you guys a whole another million dollars, put his life on the line. And this is how you repay him one episode later. Kind of messed up, but it is what it is. Tiff is aggravated because Rizzo isn't playing as idle. I totally agree. She tries to recruit people to vote him out at the next tribal. And then, of course, Rizzo finds out about the plan from Jonathan, because Jonathan's an idiot. He tells him not to mention it to Sarri, but Rizzo doesn't listen to her. Calls himself a Riz rat. From the Riz God to the Riz rat. Listen, I got to say, though, he's young. He's new to this game, but he is smart. Like he plays such a good game. I'm going to tell you something. This was the underestimation of my life. Yeah. Underestimate in this kid. Not to mention he's a Mesh-eated. He's he hasn't even made it home from the last game he was playing. I want so bad for him to eat. I don't think he cares about food because he threw away his chicken, pissed everybody off. He just wanted the cookies and milk. He wanted the cookies and milk and they're like, you threw away a chicken wing. Are you out of your freaking mind? But like looking back, Tiff obviously has the right idea. Why do you think Rizzo is able to stay under everyone's radar, even with an idol in his pocket? Because Sarri, Sarri is saving him in every front. And Sarri has more power over manipulating people than Tiff does. And I feel like there's a small part of everybody who's a little jealous of what a challenge B's Tiff is. So they don't want to give her that too. Oh, yeah, she's and she's she she wins the challenges. And she's right about this. Yeah, I feel like there's a little bit of an ego getting involved. Yeah. I could be wrong. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I'm also surprised that more people aren't scared of Tiffany's game because she has played a very good game. She's sat under the radar. She hasn't made big moves, so maybe the jury wouldn't like kind of go for her. But she's played such a strong challenge game for sure. Speaking of challenges, we're back to an obstacle course. Got to create a puzzle with a bunch of letters. No one knows exactly what it what it spells, but it spells inconceivable. All the players are helping each other, but they're not helping Tiff, right? See what I mean? See what I mean? I just said it. Yeah, to prevent Tiff from winning. Tiff still, which, by the way, I was very I'm also a proud ADHD person. And I get that she had to block out the noise. Yeah, you've got to be like, I got to put the blinders on. Shut up. Don't talk to me. It's very hard to block out noise when you have that. Yeah. And she she does it all by herself with outlacing to anyone. And I was I was very impressed with Tiff's performance. My only complaint is, is that no one wanted to quote the Princess Bride in this moment. Well, what do you well, you can do it now. This is your chance. Inconceivable. They need to put that in there. I was like, you it's right there. It's right. You keep using this weather. I don't think it means what you think it means. I love that. Well, maybe they don't know it. They're survivors. It's the Princess Bride. It's like one of the greatest movies of all time. I know. Well, I'm not thinking that survivor fans are watching Princess Bride. Well, they should. They absolutely should. Yeah. Back at camp. Aubrey knows it's time to send Suri home. And Suri knows there's after. But Suri is not going down with the fight. She tells Jonathan that Aubrey was the one who told her about the Tiff boat. Jonathan so very easily manipulated. What are you thinking when you see Suri's mind at work? Do you think that she was going to be able to pull this off or was it too? Yeah, no, I mean, it was. It was really good. And I think she would have pulled it off if Rizzo didn't stab her in the back because Rizzo can't say he's the one that did it. Right. Yeah. But, you know, he's going around being like. Didn't he tell people like what makes you think she said that Aubrey said it and that kind of thing? I don't know. Yeah, he kind of sandbagged Suri on this. It was a brilliant thing she did. She almost had everybody going. Yeah. So Rizzo saved Aubrey. He's done it twice, though. He basically he got Ozzie out and now Suri. Why did Rizzo turn on? Oh, he said why? He because he said because if she makes it to the end, she could really win over me. Absolutely. Which is I guess that's fair. And I agree with with that. But yeah, anyways, I. I was sad. So at Tribal, Aubrey and Suri share their experiences as players who always make it far in the game, but never win kind of like a bride's meeting. That's right. And says it haunts them. Everyone votes. Rizzo does not play as freakin Idol and he's able to skate away once again. Gary. I agree. This guy has a clear path now to get the final four. I am amazed that no one was like, we got to get rid of this kid before it gets too late, which it almost seems like. But unfortunately, Suri is voted out four to two against Aubrey. What's more surprising that Aubrey is still in this game or that Suri is out before the end? I feel Suri should have been gone a long time ago because she's such a amazing player. Yeah. Right. So I was surprised that she lasted this long, although I'm a fan of hers. And because I only would expect to see her leave because I think so highly of her. But Aubrey for me. Play so hard. And I don't know why people would get rid of Rick before her. If Rick was going to go, I'm surprised that Aubrey is still there. Let's not underestimate Rizzo at the last tribal when he saw things going down when he was trying when they were trying to trick him, when Tiff was trying to trick him to use his idol. And he was like, no, no, I'm not going to do it. Yeah. That I mean, that was impressive to me. It's also a lot on real. He copped on to that really, really quick. And it wasn't so obvious, but OK. I mean, it's also impressive that he doesn't use his idol on the heels of Ozzy, not using his idol and it not working. You know, like, I think that the paranoia in me would be at an all time high if I was him in that situation, but he's playing a good game and he is now guaranteed himself in the final four. Now, do I do I think that the jury will vote for him? I don't know. But he has played a really good game. But unfortunately, he rolled the dice. He rolled the dice on each time now. Twice he's rolled the dice and he's won. Yeah. But luck runs out. I just think he's been lucky. And I think like like luck runs out. So Suri voted out for two. Are you surprised? Like. I guess that like watching this season, every episode, I kept on being like, how is she still in this game? Like she has the Aubrey or Suri? Suri, she has the wool pulled over everyone's eyes. She's able to, you know, marionette every when she's pulling all the strings. I so I guess like there's a part of me that's like amazed that she got this far because I because if I was playing that game, I'd want her out before I'll tell you what. I'm not amazed at now. How easily she won traders after watching her play here. Coming on to traders, especially, I think it was first season she won. Yeah. It was a walk in the park for her. Nobody really knew the game. It was first season, but she knew the manipulative part of it. And that's how you win. You win by two ways, which is two things. She's great at strategy and gaining the trust of the players. And that was her win to traders. Absolutely. Sad she's gone, but really enjoyed watching her. Like I enjoyed watching her on traders, but this has been more educational for me in terms of how good of a game player she is. And I thought it was really cool. I don't know if it I don't know if Jeff had this planned. But I think it was really cool that he gave her the opportunity to say the line, which is, you know, the tribe has spoken to me. That's that's I imagine not a lot of people have gotten to do that. That's very cool to get to do that. And I'm glad it was her. He likes her. Yeah. Because she earned it. She didn't earn that. Good. But to be so close and to live in the conditions, the subhuman conditions that they live in. Yeah. There's so many things that you go through on that island. Yeah. Right. And pushing yourself to limits, living the way that you do, thinking you could never live without the common. Necessities that we have every day, right? I think there's so much more to just winning this game. I agree. And that comes out of this. That's the way I'm looking at it. I'd have to look at it that way, because only one, you know, one person is going to win here. My manager and agent keep trying to get me to go on these. Come on, Wells, I need to see you on here. And I have said absolutely they and I've been asked to do. Special forces, special forces, I said no way, no way. Why? Because I don't want to get dropped in like the Arctic water. Like that sounds like that sucks. But I tell you what, I did. I did have a conversation with my team and I said, if I got to do I would do survivor. This would be very fun for me. I'm also like I'm good at camping. I'm good. I'm very crafty, you know, I feel like. And then also these challenges aren't super crazy. They're just like, you know, you just got to have like a little bit of athleticism, which I've got. So anyways, this is my plea to the good folks at CBS. I think that I would like to be on if there was a survivor for like reality TV idiots, I would like to go do it. Oh, well, I would love it. I would not. So don't put me on. But well, that's amazing. I could I would love love to see you. Last thing. So I mean, we are down to the nitty gritty. I believe there's only one episode left. You have Aubrey. You have Jonathan. You've got Joe. You've got the Riz God and you've got Tiffany. Who's winning and who's out next? Well, it's usually if the person's on the chopping block, right, they should be the next to go, typically, Aubrey would be next, right? Well, disagree with that. So out of the three left. Joe, Jonathan, Rizzo, Tiffany. I think Joe. Really? I feel like Joe could win. I for some reason. You know, I thought it was Stephanie for a long time and she went out a couple episodes ago, which is a bummer for me. But I think my money's on Tiffany winning this thing. Well, she should. And that's what I wanted to say. But I said Joe because he's not on anyone's radar. I yeah, I think it's a good pick. There's no right answer, obviously. We don't know. No, no. Dying, dying to know. All right. Well, Dolores, I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for coming back. I missed you. I'm so sorry. Cute face and a and that voice. Amazing. So and thank you for teaching me how to do all this.
