Summary

The hosts discuss the Summer House scandal involving Amanda, West, and Sierra's betrayal, analyzing the deceptive joint statement and fallout. They also recap Survivor 46's Blood Moon episode, featuring a triple elimination and Serene's dominant strategic gameplay.

Insights
  • Reality TV stars' crisis communications often backfire when they prioritize damage control over genuine accountability, as evidenced by the joint statement that acknowledged being on TV rather than apologizing to wronged parties.
  • Deception sustained over long periods (potentially since last summer) generates exponentially more backlash than a single mistake acknowledged immediately, suggesting transparency windows close quickly in social circles.
  • Female friendships carry higher social accountability standards than male behavior in reality TV discourse, with women facing disproportionate criticism for betraying friends versus men for similar transgressions.
  • Strategic gameplay in Survivor increasingly rewards under-the-radar players (Serene, Riz God) over visible threats, as newer players lack the alliance loyalty of legacy players and vote opportunistically.
  • Influencer attention and follower counts don't correlate with likability or trustworthiness; West gained 50K followers post-scandal while Amanda lost followers, suggesting parasocial curiosity outweighs moral judgment.

This episode is presented by Colgate. Let's talk it factor. You see it on the red carpet. A smile that lights up a room that, wow. You know, there's actually some chemistry behind the charisma. Colgate Optic White Pro series toothpaste removes 15 years of statements when you brush twice daily for two weeks. How? The clinically proven formula is powered by Colgate's hydrogen peroxide complex. It works at the molecular level to gently dissolve stains deep within the enamel where your brush can't reach. And it's proved that daily routine can be remarkable. Colgate Optic White, the science of wow. Colgate Optic White. Did Survivor do that? Yeah. He seemed to still think that he had a chance. I guess because you always think you have a chance, but that was like, I haven't ever heard that kind of like emotional music in the background of Survivor. So everyone was crying. I know, series, like I love you and it's just like, I don't know, if I'm given the choice between coach and Colby, I'm obviously voting coach 100% of the time. So that was very disappointing. Well, me too, but for like different reasons. They made the right move. We'll dig into it more. I'm very excited. I will say against all odds, I got to watch because my YouTube TV didn't record it. Against all odds. I woke up at five. I was like, is this on demand yet? Before we get there, I want to check in with you, how you're holding up in this tumultuous time in the summer house universe. I have never watched summer house, but I listened to you and Rachel Lindsay on Morley Corrupt break it down and I now feel educated. So first of all, thank you. Second of all, great podcast. Check it out. Morley Corrupt is a really good episode. There's also a lot of comments already when I was looking, except people have noted it. Rachel, I don't ever on one. Where do you look at? I don't even know where you look at. Spotify. Probably best. I don't. I care. People really loved, loved your survivor song last week. So that's what you call it. Maybe I'll go Rizzo Rizzo for the whole episode. So I just want, so how are you doing today? I think we're like day, day three, three confirmation from Amanda and West. And the absolutely embarrassing joint statement. What an unbelievable, even for me, it was nothing. I'm like, oh, we, we're getting a we from you too. I don't think so. I just don't really understand. Like they both have PR teams. Sure. Like that's not, she's been on TV for like, oh, many years at this point, way longer than him. At least, at least eight. But I mean, he's also like, he works for complex. He like has other jobs where does he actually have a job? Like, do you think he actually works? What does he do for them? I think he like writes and stuff. Also, he definitely like has to do content for them. He does content all the time. Okay. Like on his social media. Like sports content. No, I think it's on their page too. Like he does interviews. Okay. So he's much like us. He's a content creator. E sure. How many eyes did this see before they posted? Like it's perplexing. It's been the whole situation bends my brain. I don't understand this joint, the joint statement is awful. Nowhere in this statement does it apologize to Sierra or Kyle, the guy who's married to Amanda, which like, I don't feel that bad about Kyle, but still, Kyle's capitalizing. So he's fine. I saw he did a long TikTok video yesterday. So. But still it's like no apology. Like it's almost like they are in their own world. And I can't understand why separately. I can't understand why West would allow a joint statement knowing he's fucking so many other people. That's been pretty wild to watch all these other women being like over here, here in Chicago, here in New York, like I was with West. Here in Montana. Yeah. Like, did you think they weren't going to come out? He probably thinks so little of them that he's like, even if they do, who cares? Like that's probably what he thinks. I think the only thing I could possibly put together is that he thought he could get to them first and be like, it's all for publicity. It's all for the show. It's all for, you know what I mean? The fact that you guys shared on the pod I wasn't aware of that one of the women said that she made him a tie that he wore on Watch What Happens Live. Like, that is galling. That's like, that's crazy. He said her name. Oh my God. He shouted her out on Watch What Happens Live for the tie. Oh my God. The other women pissed or more like be mused? The woman with the tie apparently has been off and on with West for two years. Oh my God. And more recently she told him like, I don't want to do this anymore. Like we need to be exclusive. And apparently he supposedly was like, okay. So he's a yes man. That's the tie girl. That's what he's doing. That's the tie girl. And she's pissed. Her last post on social media is like, she's at a No Kings protest. And it's like, raging against all men with small hands. Horrible, mere moral compasses and loser tendencies. That's awesome. Thanks to say she's not happy. Sierra liked that post yesterday. Oh my God. That's amazing. I saw that Sierra blocked Amanda and West. But can we go back to the statement for a second? I don't think that's an appropriate form in which to apologize. So I don't really have like a problem with that. I think like acting like they're going through some kind of loss or they're like suffering. Like we're processing this in real time, like whatever they said is so lame. And just like, I don't know. But I think that what they should have done is just confirmed it to like people. I'm just like, yep, give people a statement. Don't use your Instagram. Like you've done enough damage there. I don't know. I guess it's a note to all reality TV stars. No more statements on your Instagram story. Well, what's even crazier is she just put out a joint statement with Kyle like two months ago. Right. She's a joint statement queen. So embarrassing. The joint statement, it being joint horrible, they both were wrong for different reasons. So I feel like these could be two separate statements. If you're going to put a statement out on Instagram, I think the overall tone of the message of the statement or joint statement, whatever the fuck you're putting out, should be one of like, we are sorry. Contrition. So many people. Yes. Instead of being like, we understand that because we're on reality TV, people care about our lives. That's not the problem here. No. It's definitely not. Like people care about your life because you're on reality TV. People are upset because of your choices. So it has nothing to do with you being on reality TV. And it sounds like everyone liked her until this basically. Yeah. I feel like everyone was kind of like okay with her. And then this season, everyone was like championing her because Kyle has been such an asshole. The problem is, is now it's like, maybe Kyle was right. Maybe Kyle should have been worse. Well, I heard what Olivia said in the group chat on your podcast. Same. Maybe she is a dumb bitch. That is an indictment. Very tough stuff. Very tough. Very tough. By the way, she said that before any of this came out. I will never cross Olivia. I hope Olivia never says about me. Maybe she is a dumb bitch. That's a tough. She was like, how do we know Kyle's wrong? It seems like Kyle's right. I think Olivia, which now I'm like, yeah, she was right. Olivia was very annoyed with every season. It's Amanda being like, poor me. Kyle treats me so badly. And Olivia is like, he's always been this way. Like, since the beginning, he has talked you terribly, treated you terribly, stayed out till 5 AM, cheated on you multiple times on this show. You chose to marry him. So at what point is it your fault? Yeah. I can't have a pity party for you every fucking season. Everyone, you knew what you were signing up for is Olivia's message. Yes. Do you think Summer House survives this? Like, first of all, will you continue watching this season? I will continue watching this season, but I have to say, it sucked to watch Tuesday. And people who listen to me podcast know how much I love Summer House. I felt like the entire episode, I was just like, at one point, Sierra talked about how she bought her dad's parents' house, her grandparents' house. And I don't think she has a very close relationship with her dad's family now. She did with her grandparents, and she bought it from his siblings. And I think it was like in North Carolina. I don't know where though, I should find out where. And I think it was like a hard process for her because like, she's buying something from family, they want more money, you know how that works. Like, you're trying to low ball us, whatever. She finally gets the house. She's talking about it on the show very happily. And then Mia, her friend who, thank fuck, is there, is like, wait, this is a huge deal. Like, we don't need to just brush over this. This was very hard for Sierra. This was a goal of hers, and she was able to do it. She bought her first house, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And Sierra like starts crying, like just talking about her family. While she's crying, Amanda's like, I know it was so hard for Sierra. Oh my gosh, I am so proud of you. And I just wanted to be like, shut the fuck up. Like, you're not her friend, and you weren't going to say anything until Mia said something. It's crazy. You know what I mean? It's crazy. Yeah, you guys said this on the pod. It's one thing, I think you said this in particular. It's one thing if you are like, fuck, I think I like this guy, like we accidentally made out, maybe there's more there and like you come clean, but it sounded like they were just like really deceitful for like a long period of time. They just kept lying. It's bizarre. Kept lying. By the way, the only reason why I think they even ever said anything was because they got caught. Oh yeah. Here are my two questions for you. Number one, like everyone was into Morley Kraft. Number one, how did they get caught? Like what was the, what was the smoking gun? There's like a bunch of stories online and I will say, boosts on the ground or in my DMs. I've gotten voice notes. I've gotten recordings. Wow. People say them in New York. Just of people recounting stories of things that have happened. Got it. The timeline is very shaky. No one knows when this started. People are starting to think it started last summer, which was really, really suck. I'm not sure if I want to jump that far. I, I, I, I'm trying to give them any benefit of the doubt that they can. And I, I'm just like, even Kyle and his 10 minute sidewalk talk with his dog and about a time like attacked two people and shit on him. It was pretty, pretty funny. Even said like he's kind of confused about stuff from last summer. So that's not great. But, um, supposedly. Sierra saw Amanda's location at West's apartment very early in the morning. One, one morning. This was like a few weeks ago. I think like probably a right, right after Super Bowl-ish around that high period beginning of March. And I know Dave Portnay. No one asked to hear from you on this. Just keep it moving. Keep going. I'm not a fan, but his beach, um, TikToks were funny to me. I just, I just saw the like no idea what's going on. I just saw him being like chicken fried. Told me that this is Super Bowl. I'm like, okay, we got it. Yes. After he said that, he like went live and was like, I didn't know what I was posting was a big deal. Now chicken fry is on me. She also told me that Tom Brady's fully dating Alex Earl. So there's that. And then like the next post is Briana chicken fry being like, if anyone is around Dave Portnoy, please take his phone. I just thought the whole back and forth. I do enjoy the Portnoy chicken fry dynamic in general, but yeah, Dave Portnoy didn't need you involved. Okay. Okay. So keep going. No. Sierra saw that's one piece of smoking gun. Supposedly this is how it happened. She saw the location. She texted Amanda and asked like what's going on. Supposedly Amanda took 15 hours to respond and said we're just, uh, we are just friends. And, and Sierra was like friends hook up. And Amanda was like, West and I are only friends. Sierra, then supposedly someone got a picture through West's window, which is, Oh yeah, we talked about this. And say earlier. Yeah. Yeah. But apparently it's true of Amanda in his apartment, either naked or in her underwear. Also, why are you taking that picture? Side note. That's like really sick. Okay. So whoever took the picture has not distributed it. So at the very least they know like I'm not sending this around. Thank God. The only reason why it's even anything is because Sierra asked for this person to send it to them, send it to her. And she said, no, she was like, I can't send this. I'm not sending this. And so Sierra met up with this person and saw the picture herself. Okay. Well, I'm grateful that West's neighbor is not distributing porn of Amanda. Yes. So at least there's that. Unknowingly. Unknowingly. Yeah. Still at this point, West and Sierra had, or West and Amanda had not told Sierra. Once they had found out that people had, like there's so many accounts of people seeing them in LA together, seeing them at a restaurant, seeing them kiss, seeing them hold hands. LA or New York or boss? LA. Yeah. They were in LA. Saw Jesse Solomon, saw them, or Jesse Solomon told somebody like a few days ago, like there was just so many things like amounting. I know the rumors were out there. Portland, I wasn't the only one who's known since the Super Bowl, but like, do you think the whole cast has known for a while? I think that the cast found out in the past like six days. I see. Okay. And, and Sierra probably had more evidence earlier to think it, but she saw the picture in the past week. So like, that's what like really confirmed it. I see. Okay. And apparently multiple cast members have come out and said, when the rumors were like swirling, they asked Amanda and Wes and they were told it is not true multiple times. All right. These people are just, they're out. They're out of the frying group. We can't trust them. They're lying. It stinks. Yeah. Multiple people have unfollowed them. Sierra blocked them. People are upset about it. Kyle's worried about Amanda's mental health. Here's my thing, guys. There's no reason to go on her pictures and comment things that are like death threats, all of that. I'm, I just, I'm, I'm like completely against that. Of course. Unless you're like someone killings, babies, you know what I mean? Like go on Trump's Instagram, feel free, say whatever you want to him. I don't care. Don't interrupt survivor again. That's my message. Yeah. But like a reality starts cheating with her friend, or not even cheating, hooking up with her friends, acts, whatever, not caring about the whole race element of it all. Like all that's fucked up. I don't think she needs to die. Like everyone needs to relax. But to be clear, I don't think so either. I laughed. It's a different person. Yeah. It's ridiculous. But Amanda was not worried about Sierra's mental health when she continued to lie to her. Amanda was not worried about her own mental health when she continues to make horrible decisions. Yeah. Life decisions. At some point you have to grow up. And if you want to make a grown up decisions, then you're going to have to deal with grown up consequences and accountability. Is this how you talk to your children? I love it. Yeah. My four year old sometimes. And I, like, you know, again, I don't want her to have dark quote unquote dark thoughts like Kyle said, but I do want her to reevaluate her decision making because it's horrific. It's straight ahead. And earlier we talked, and by the way, West too. West is just gross. I'm just thinking about all the women he's having sex with right now because like obviously he's not just like hanging out with like Ty girl and whoever else. And it's just gross. Men are so, so gross. Yeah. The problem is the expectation for men is so low. And I do feel that. Especially from women. I mean, this is really getting like hammered. I could she portray her friend. But West like West deserves equal energy, I would say. I just think, I just think I don't know if it's equal energy because I do have higher expectations for women. And as you and I talk about all the time on this show, women friendships are so fucking important. Yeah. They get you through the world. So to betray that and at this age, like this isn't a 20 year old, like a 20 years old. So glad you're bringing this up. I love when you have these like arbitrary age cutoffs that in your head, you're like perfect logic like under 27, cheating doesn't matter over 27. I think it's 25. I've really narrowed down to 25 being like a big change. I just think at 18, you're young, dumb and selfish. You're a friend of love. So point. Not that. Yeah. Yeah. You got to grow up. Yeah. I mean, I'm with you. They're these two people, they really stink. So back to my question. Can summer house survive this? Like Banner Pomp and Rose. I think summer house couldn't survive it. Couldn't survive. I just stand a ball. Don't think it's going to look the same. I don't know if West and Amanda can come back to the summer house. Is it I asked you this on Monday but I forget the answer. Is Amanda on In the city? She is. Right. She's the only one. Well her and Kyle. Right. Sierra is not West. I would love for Sierra to completely skyrocket from this. But I think that takes some time. like Ariana was on the next season of Ander Pump. I think that she should be on the next season to Summer House. I think Wes and Sierra should not be on. I, I just can't, Amanda, all of this for this guy is just crazy to me. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I don't know him, but he sounds like just kind of like a regular guy. Doesn't sound that special. He doesn't. Yeah. It's no wrong. It's not like throwing your life away for that. It's not Rob. Also like, Also Rob wouldn't do that is what I think. Yeah. I just, I, it's really, really disappointing from Amanda and from Wes it's more expected. So I feel like that's why the heat is so much lower for him. I don't understand how he's gaining followers. Like who's following him? I don't get it. Well, that's what I was going to say is like the way to punish someone like Amanda, if you feel you need to punish her, it's to unfollow her. It's to take away like what she can monetize. Like that's the only way that people like really feel pain. She has lost followers and people are going ham in her comments. Wes has gained like 50,000. Probably cause people are like, who is this guy? Like who is this new magic dick that we got to talk about? Like it's so weird. It's so weird. As, as I believe I said on Monday, he's not even that cute. You guys explained that he's very charming and charismatic. So I, I, I didn't doubt that. Which is how he got into this pickle. Like he is very charming and charismatic. That's another part of dating in your 30s, right? Like a lot of great guys are married cause women have sussed that out. The sort of like great guy pool is much smaller. And you just sort of like, you get tricked. You just say that maybe you could change them. Maybe you are the one like, you know, there's just a lot of, I, you know, that there's just not a lot of great options. So that's probably, and then I think for him, and Rachel made this point really clearly, like he's never had this kind of attention before like working at like, being like a complex content creator. And he's not the same as like also being on summer house. No shots. No, no, no. He's gotten so much more attention in the past two years than he ever has in his life. I just like the, the, the race element of all of it, like as a human, I'm a man to have a crush, have a crush on West, never act on it. It's not that hard. And the big thing to me is like, you're in New York. There's so many men, like there's so, and so many men. So many men like West. Like there's so many people of that mold. Better. Yeah. But I'm just like, it's like, he's a New York type, right? Like you could find so many interchangeable. Kyle. He is Kyle. 10 years earlier. I don't, I, the, it's the amount of access that Amanda has to men. I wouldn't be mad at her if, again, she made out with him, made a mistake, told Sierra and was like, oh my God, I'm so dumb. I'm done hanging out with him. Like, I think I have a dumb crush on him. He's funny, whatever, whatever. I'm not saying her and Sierra would still be like as close as they were. You can get through that and she could recognize she's stupid and like make better choices. Sure. I just can't imagine being like, yeah, I'm going to double down on this. Also, she must get a thrill out of the sneaking around, honestly, it's one of the only things I can, I can also add to this from the information I have is like, if she's like, you know, lying about her location and shit, like there must be some level of like, or you know, lying. She's like, yes, that's my location, but like here's what I was doing. There must be some element where she's like enjoying the deceit. So. Totally. I would just be like, sneak around with another married man. Not your best friends, ex, blah, blah, blah. Although, you know, that's not great either. I shouldn't be saying that. There just, there has to be another way to get a thrill. It has to, you know. I agree. I don't know, just do drugs for a week, just and then stop. Don't have a drug addict, but you know, there's plenty of plays to be a thrill seeker. It's not pretty. Yeah. My last question for you. You guys referenced Paige quite a bit and her weighing in. Where has Paige been weighing in and when? Is it like from when she was on the show still, or is this like she talking about on Giggly Squad? Like how was Paige? When she was on the show, after the whole West Sierra fallout, she was very anti-West. I see. Like she was like, West used you, he sucks, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And she was right. Got it. Noted. Paige hasn't really weighed in that much. She had an episode of Giggly Squad drop yesterday, but they, they didn't, She's really distanced herself from the show. Yeah. They didn't head on address it. She has like made comments here and there, like Sierra did the carpet for friends and neighbors. And she was like gorgeous, stunning, perfection. That was after all this came out. She was clearly supportive of Sierra. I do think in general, Sierra is much closer to Paige than Amanda. Got it. Okay. And I think a big part of that is just because nobody really likes Kyle. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Certainly not Hannah Burner. So. Right. Okay. We talked about this at the end of December last year. Who do you think is the most appealing man on Bravo? We said that we thought Craig had the most like star power and the most like influence. Given all of this, and after this season of Southern Charm, the breakup of Paige, now where we are with Summer House, who do you think a lot, a lot, a lot has happened to, yeah. To, so two questions here. Who's the most appealing man on Bravo and who is the most powerful man on Bravo? I think I'll just say, let's take Wittner out of this. Cause he's like probably the most appealing, but like does he even count? He's like barely on the network. I don't know if Wittner is appealing or as appealing as he was a month ago. Sure. It's hard. That's tough. Is it KJ? I don't, I'm not familiar, but he sounds like a good guy. KJ like could not be better. Okay. So he's the most. I don't want him to disappoint me. So I'm trying to tread lightly, but I find him very attractive. Everything he says, like he just has a ton of emotional depth. He also only had sisters and has spent a lot of time around women, which sorry, someone DM'd me and made a really good point about West. Rachel and I have talked a lot about how he surrounds himself with black people, black men, not a lot of black women. And I was like, that's a really good point. I saw that your conversation about how he basically exploits black culture and black people was really important and really interesting. Yeah. So anyways, back to KJ on a brighter note. Yeah, he's so attractive. He has a girlfriend that he is so in love with and how he talks about her is like so cute. Really, really like KJ, but I just don't think he's been on Bravo long enough. He definitely doesn't have like any power. So, but he is appealing. Okay. But so he's the most appealing. Who do you think? I think he's most appealing. Power. I mean, I still crack. Is he still crack? Probably. Yeah. It's definitely not Austin. I don't want to say his star is rising. No. I feel like he's just retreated. Treated, yeah. I think he's chip out a lot hard last season. I think he wanted to take a backseat this season. But even this season with everyone against Craig, like the show moves with Craig. I know. Like it is what it is. That raspy voice moves the needle. I think even Austin knows. And that's part of his annoyance. Like Austin's like, I'm the one that's friends with all these people. I'm the one that's nice to all these people. Why is it Craig? Like, I don't know what to tell you, boss, but it's Craig. Unfortunately, Craig also has these successful businesses. Like Trap Pop has done nothing, but Craig has got like, you know, sewing down south and all the other shit he does. Like he's doing stuff. I'm trying to think of back any other shows. Like The Valley doesn't have anybody. Vanne-Rubber-Rolls, I don't know. Oh, you know what? People find what's his name from The Valley really attractive to. Janet's husband, Jason. Jason. Okay. Yeah. So he's appealing. All right. Yeah. Okay. We'll keep coming back to this question. We'll be tracking it. Let's switch gears. Let's talk about survivor. Okay. Let's, ah, a happier topic. Blood moon. I have to say, I was delighted to hear from Tiff. After not getting to hear from her at all last week, thank you for showing her. And one of the main- It's not enough. No, not enough at all. But one of the main things I wanted to note, Tiff and Genevieve. I don't speak French. I know it'll like, I'll understand it a little bit, but whenever I say the name, Genevieve, I think of it in French, I don't know if you have. Anyway, anyway, Tiff and Genevieve. I loved how they wore their buffs as like mini mouse bows on top of their heads. Did you notice that? I just loved it. I needed to note it. It was my favorite thing from the episode. Favorite thing from the episode? Yes, it was. I took note and I really appreciated it. I was like laughing. I mentioned this at the top of the pod. Colby got the send off as if he's like going out to sea and we will never hear from him again. I assume Colby will not be on the show again. Well, who knows? Maybe incorrect assumption, but it was sort of like, it was like this like decades long reflection. And like, I don't know. I'm sure they talked about many other things, but the edit made it seem like it was just like Colby opining on his past. And it was absurd considering like how little we've heard from some of the people on the show so far. I was fine with it because of the group. Because Serene and the coach were there? Yeah, like them having to send him off, I feel like. I mean, it's a pretty star stud group. There's a reason why they got more attention than some of the other groups. Sure. Do you think it was the right move? No. I think the right move is not even being discussed. Serene is running the game. Serene is running. Oh, obviously. Like, obviously, but I would have jumped through this screen and cut someone's throat. So that's not what I want. But you're correct. That would have been the right move. Serene has two different alliances right now. Like Serene and Dee and someone else, so I can't remember. Riz God. And Riz God. Well, there's like, Dee thinks she's in with Serene. But then there's the real trio that I think could go to the end of Serene, Ozzie, and Riz God. They have two idols among the three of them. Serene. Extra vote. The extra vote. Serene made an excellent suggestion to Ozzie of like, take Riz God because she loves him. But the idea that you could just shoehorn them with like, I'm taking the one guy we don't know anything about is so genius. Like, Serene must have also realized that we just haven't gotten to see it. She must have realized that not only does she really like Riz God, but the fact that he's an unknown, she can really use to her advantage. Her benefit, yeah. And I just, I obviously love it. I just cannot believe this is happening. I cannot believe these talented players have allowed Serene to like run this game so far. Like, the edits trying to make us think it's Christian, but it's really Serene. I mean, no, no, no. Right now it's Serene. And what's even more impressive is that the target on Christian is so much bigger than on Serene. I've not heard a single person be like, oh, we should get it out Serene since Dee said it like, in episode two. But yeah, and now she loves Serene, so she starts off the table for her. Um, what a fucking place for Riz God. He's like, I have Serene and Ozzie looking at me. And I know Riz God's very high on himself. I can't why. I would be too. Yeah. If I had Serene and Ozzie eating out of my fucking hand, I, I, send me home today. I have one. Honestly, Ozzie's success so far this season is like so confusing to me. I'm just like, he's not even playing that good of a game, but I guess people just like really revere him. And like, he's so earnest. Well, one, he gives them a lot of food. And I do think that that, and they've, they're not showing it, but I think that's honestly helping him a lot. Yeah. That's why I chose Jonathan too. He hasn't dominated too crazily in these challenges. And minus is blow up with Christian. He's been kind of chill. So like, he's easy to have around and he's feeding me. And I can beat him in a challenge. What am I worried about? He does, he can't even strategize. Right. You know what I mean? Like, he's not that big of a threat. Like Christian's a way bigger threat than Ozzie. Yes, I definitely agree with that. But the fact that they think Christian is such a huge threat that Genevieve is such a huge threat, but like they're just like, three. I got her on my side. I'm good. Let's keep moving. Like, it's wild. You guys wanted coach and Ciri was like, all right, I'll go with whatever. But like, obviously that's not the right route. At that tribal council, I was like, Colby's going home. Yeah. Ciri said Colby, Colby's going home. Totally. Yeah. I mean, I knew it from the edit more than anything, but I loved what she said too. And she was like, you can't tell these kids anything. It's just like at home. Like she's just so relaxed and like has such a good pulse on everything. But even when they gave her the, in the interview, she was like, the difference between the new kids and the old kids is the old people will ride their alliance to the fucking end. They're not going to go behind each other's backs for one vote. New kids will vote with their enemy just to get through one vote. Right. And she's like, that's probably the way to go. She's. And I'm like, she's figured it out. She's playing it perfectly. So she has to have both sides. I mean, it's such a good alliance. Like Ozzie, Ciri. I know, but last time we were really high on someone, they went home the next week. So I don't want that to happen with Ciri, but... These people are dumb if they don't send her home sooner than later. I think that Christian and Emily and Devon's, that trio will get more heat than Ozzie, Ciri and Rizgad. They're just so much louder. Yeah. Yeah. Big time. I really like Devon's. No one is going to think that Rizgad and Ciri are working together. Definitely not. That's the other thing. Like it's such a perfect alliance because who would think that that would work? And when... And it's crazy that she likes him as much as she does. I know. He must be like very sweet. The other thing is with everyone knowing who has all the idols, the extra vote is actually really meaningful. And that is powerful because the idols are like all out there. No. Genevieve didn't tell anyone about Rizgad's idol and she just went home. So like it's even better for them. It's really exciting. I hope though that someone thinks they find the fake idol at tribal. Like I'm just waiting for that moment to pay off. Oh yeah. Why would you want one of that? I don't know, but I really want it. Not everyone had been to tribal until last night. So now they all have. So maybe it'll come back this way. Yeah. Also like I feel like would they have left that in if it doesn't come back? No. Probably not. Well, I don't know. Also Devon's, I noted that Devon's mentioned it last night. So that's like, it's like back up my radar as a result. It'll come back. Devon's is a really fun guy. I hope he makes it a long time. They're pretty deep into it. You know what? I haven't liked D, but I'm starting to like her a little bit. She's okay. She's like, first of all, I forget how young she is. In fact, she's 28, it's crazy. I guess she's 29 now. She's, I thought young. She's a good strategist. I'm 40, so it seems really young to me. I'm in... How old is Riz God? He's like 23. By the way, did you see that video of, wait, separately someone DM me and was like, you say, by the way a lot and I do. I don't know what to tell you. By the way, whatever. I say, let me just say, can I tell you whatever? We all have verbal tics. You're in for a penny and for a pound. You're listening to this. What were we saying? What was I saying? The Rizler video. Rizler. Oh my God, I'm blanking on her name. Survivor legend. Jerry. Woman. Woman. Parvati. No. Tina. She was on the Traders, I think. Wasn't she on the Traders? Carolyn. No. Sandra. Legend. Sandra. Thank you. I just found out something crazy about Sandra. Her daughter has been on Survivor Australia several times. I did not know that. Me either. Why Australia? I don't know. It's like a very revered survivor. And apparently survivors America won't cast her for whatever reason. I don't know. I wonder why. I don't know, but isn't that wild? You'd think that you'd want her, right? Yeah. Of course. Sandra did a live with Carolyn and another survivor player that I can't even think of right now. And Sandra was like, sorry, guys. I'm on the train. I'll call him Riz God for the rest of his life. Riz God, Rizzy Man, Rizzler. Riz God, like she was just like, I love him. And yeah, I'm fully supportive. He's Riz God to me now. From now on, he is only Riz God. And I was like, I exclusively call him Riz God too. So. I was like, Sandra, we agree. Yeah. We didn't want to like him. Now I'm working on board. Yeah, I'm like, I hope you make it to the final three, man, with your great alliance. So. That would make me so happy. There's no way that happens because he's just too kooky. But I would love that. Seems so unlikely. And I don't want to get my hopes up. But I feel myself like welling up at the idea of Suri winning. I just wanted to win so badly. There's no way, Julia. They're not that dumb. I would love it. There's a lot of people on the island. I would love it. OK, so Colby was probably the right decision. Coach is kind of like, I feel like the new kids aren't going to really fall for his shit long term. So who cares? They already aren't. Yeah, they're just sort of like. When coach was like, last week. Last night. Yeah. And he was like, so why didn't you tell me? Oh, yeah. He was like, uh. He was like, that's going to be a big mistake. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. The other tribe, Camilla going home. So sad. I can't stand Jonathan. I really can't stand him. He's like, it was very emblematic to me that like the two heroes of the episode were Colby and Jonathan. I was just like, I do really like Colby in my first. You thought Jonathan was a hero? Yeah, he got like a lot of time and he was positioned as a swing vote. Well, he was a swing vote. That's why, yeah. I wouldn't give him a hero. He was just like, he was the decision maker. Tiff and Camilla weren't turning against each other. And Chrissy and Stephanie weren't because they're both old. Ouch. I don't know. We could have heard from Chrissy a little bit more. It's just, I don't know. I feel like the show loves Jonathan is my point. And I can't stand him. By the way. Yeah. Oh my God, I can't stop saying it. I'm going to notice it every time now. Chrissy really working some white woman tears. I know. I know. It worked. It really worked. It did. She kind of got me though. When she like took a beat in her confessional and she was like, it's tonight's the last night. I just want to go out with joy. But I don't think it is. I was like, OK, Chrissy, welcome to the show. She's playing. Yeah, she is playing. It was good. I feel like also Stephanie is really easy to manipulate. So like if you can use Stephanie, like so far, she's been like, gone. She's like made no move on herself. And she's just like, yeah, OK, good idea. I'm on board. Yeah, she's she's no alliances. Whoever talks to her, she's happy to have a conversation. I think she was tight with Colby. Do people not like you? I think she was like tight with Colby and whatnot. She just has to keep winning. That's how she stays. I haven't been sure if I should like Colby or not. I do my heart of hearts like him in part because I loved his season, which was season two. That was like my I didn't watch. She's in one in real time because I was at summer camp. But season two, I did watch like Colby is like very important to like my TV memory. So I and then like her, like, her beer enthusiasm, it was so funny when he's fighting with a Holocaust survivor and he's like, I'm a survivor. No, you're a survivor. It's like so funny. But when Suri was like, yeah, she loves Colby, I was like, OK, so I can love Colby too. Got it. I follow what Suri says. So fine. I would love to meet Suri. She's just must be magical. I can't even imagine. Yeah, she she's great. Even when they when when Jeff asked her at tribal and like the tears just like welled up in her eyes and what she said. And she was like, but it's a game. I was just like, she's just so fucking good. Yeah, she's just so passionate. I feel like. Dee, when she's like Dee is like that is also like always on and she's really good at survivor. But her game is so much more transparent. Like she doesn't like Dee. I mean, Suri has this warmth that like really nobody else has. And yeah, so when Dee is like makes you put your guard down. Why didn't you tell me that last night? Like the exact moment was just sort of like, OK, Dee, like back up a little bit. I feel like that's an indication that Dee does not win. Because I I've started reading. Have you heard of survivor, EJEC, E-D-G-I-C? No, I think it's a. It's supposed to be like editing magic. There's a lot of online conversation, particularly on Reddit, about like like the throwaway moments that they include in the episodes, like how you can tell like what like what that's contributing to. Uh, who goes far? Yeah. Last week, people were like, why did they include that moment of Colby saying that he hurt his leg and then like the assumption was that he would be out. This week. Yeah. And that was like correct. And I'm like, oh, maybe she's just like people are going to catch on to her playing too hard. Plus, I think she is the last remaining winner. It was her, Savannah and Kyle. And now she's the only one like I. Are they going to give someone already one at second second? The way. Oh, yeah, especially. Oh, when they're so close. Yeah, like they just want. Yeah. They saw they saw the million dollars in their bank account. I hope so. Hopefully. Big response. Um. That challenge looked really painful, like my feet would would be in shambles. I have like a bump on that side of my foot. And last night, I was like really wondering, would that bump hurt or help? I both like would it? Yeah, I'm like, would it give me extra? Yeah, give you like more of like a shelf, but it would like hurt. Yeah. Or it would hurt. Yeah. Yeah. That's one of my least favorite though. Me too. It looks like it hurts. He also they like all collapse and like can't walk normal for a solid like 10 minutes afterwards. How much do you think Applebee's has to pay to be a part of the show? I mean, they got a they got a full endorsement. I had to fast forward the bacon into the cheese. But I was like, oh my God, Jeff's description of the Applebee's was so long that I had to keep. I had to fast forward through it. I was like, I like, I don't need three minutes of Jeff reading me the Applebee's menu. It was so absurd. It's not just the menu. He's reading ingredients. He's like, Al was made. They just it with some lemon zest. I'm like, I don't need to know every spice on this burger. Of course, it did allow me to think of my favorite survivor and new era moment, though, so it was fine. I'm pissed. Also, I was just as crazy. I thought this, but while watching it last night, he goes to the whole menu and then he's like, and don't forget dessert. I was like, is he about to unveil a whole other fucking platter of desserts? And he did it. He described it instead. And I was like, why didn't the dessert get a feature? That's a great question. Maybe Applebee's could provide the apple caramel strudel, whatever, plus their rum drink that they have. Oh my God. I can't imagine not much as Applebee's paying us for this. Not enough, OK, zero dollars. I can't imagine barely eating for I think they said it was 12 days. And then like eating your body's weight in Applebee's, like you have to feel so sick after that. Like how do you function? Not me. That sounds like right at my alley. I do that all the time. You would throw up. I'm surprised they don't barf, especially with the alcohol. I'm like, you guys are dehydrated. I would throw up, but I probably would have that area. Yeah, then you'd Christian yourself. So yeah. And have to take it to the ocean. It would happen. But hopefully I'm just on Aussies tribe, but I've been eating the whole time. Right. Yeah. Keep Aussie around for that reason. So yeah, we didn't just to be clear, we lost Genevieve, Camilla and Colby. It seemed like the right time basically for all of them to go. I don't know. None of them work. I kind of want to Camilla to stay a little bit longer, but she's got a great attitude. Camilla's got a great spirit, great exit. It's kind of fun to play. It was fun to be played is what she said. No, but she said drag him through the mud. Yes. She was like, yeah, agreed. Agreed. And then Genevieve gave her coat to Aubrey. I know that was sweet. Devans was like really impressed. He's like, that's a really classy move. Aubrey was like, really? I know. I think that Aubrey doesn't know it's a game. Like she thought like Genevieve going for her was like, going for her was like so personal. Yeah. I think she takes things personal in general. She must. Yeah. She's a real zero. I'm a big Genevieve fan. So I'm bummed that she didn't get to stay for longer, but she's still in an impact on the game. Yeah, she did. She's a great talker. Yeah. She's great. I'm going to, I'll be honest, this episode was hyped up so much by CBS that I was a little let down. Like I understand a triple elimination has never happened before, but like everyone knew that there would be some like a lot of like double or like multiple elimination. So this didn't really serve. There's so many people. They didn't, this didn't serve it the way that they were hyping it up, especially after I was like, fuck, I need to watch immediately. Fuck my DVR. I can't believe this. And then it was good. Ever episode is good, but it wasn't like, oh, holy shit. I'll always remember this episode. I think I've been so deep in the summer house mess that I didn't even know it was hyped up. Like yesterday in my group chat, I texted and I was like, guys. We're too deep into summer house that we have not even talked about. Christy Nomes has been having tits. Like that's kind of crazy. I think what's actually crazier is not that he has tits. That would be OK. It's that he puts on a tits costume. They won't. Yes. That's what actually a much more noteworthy thing, in my opinion. We, we didn't even talk about the tits at all. Like we didn't talk about Christy Nomes has been saying that he wanted to be a bimbo with big tits. That's. Any other, any other week, any other week, it would have been a topic of conversation. Your group chat crosses a lot of topics, huh? Well, that would have been one of them, for sure. I saw a funny tweet or thread post, which is I think it was like, and turns out Christy didn't really know him. And. I can't take credit. I saw that online. I thought Instagram was so it being like, you're telling me that this bitch was on top of buildings, searching for for people and couldn't didn't know what her husband was up to. Like she says. Yeah. I mean, she was also doing her own thing. Listen, let's let's not yuck his yum. If that's his fattest, go for it, man. But yeah, it's a funny. It's a it's a shock. A shocking. No issue with it. As long as long as your wife is not shaming for people or doing anything for living close to what you're doing, she's shaming people for living periods. So exactly. Yeah. So yeah. Who do you think is the one survivor? Who's your pick right now? Who did I pick in the beginning? I know Tiff was one of them and my other one was. I wrote it down somewhere. Tiff and you picked Suri and. I can't remember who else I picked. I think Riz God is going to win. I'm just going to say it right now. I would be very happy. I would be happy. The only thing is, I don't know if they want like this guy that nobody knows to win, but I think he's going to the to the end. Would they vote for him? Is the. Yeah, I don't know. The jury's going to vote for him. Who's he going to be up against? That's going to be his biggest battle. Yeah. Although a lot of people, which to your whatever the edgick. Yeah. Edgick. There have been, they have, they keep leaving in little things like, I think it was Devons or Jonathan being like, I did not want to like this guy. Yeah. And yeah. So they keep leaving those little things in. Yeah. He has somehow rubbed a lot of people the right way. That's included. We didn't expect it. And here we are. Great show. Survivors are happy. Very happy that Ozzie took him. Very happy that him and Ozzie. Like, I think it'd be really hard not to form a bond over there. If there's no like beef, like you're just sitting there for hours. Definitely. Gray and like, it's funny how Ozzie was like, I'm in my happy place. Like this is perfect for me. I was thinking about it for Ozzie, who does seem like he gets really stressed out by the game and takes things really personally, even though he loves playing. Getting a break like that is probably so amazing. And like, especially when you share Ciri, like, you know, you have like this kind of you're already bonded by the person you've both, you know, made an alliance with. Like that probably is an amazing break because he can like get fish or himself go swimming is the happiest. Ozzie on exiles the happiest I've seen him all game. Yeah. I mean, he's not social. I just think he's fragile. I keep saying that and I stand by it. All right, Callie, I'll be thinking of you and texting you as I have questions about this summer house situation. Thanks for going to check out more like corrupt for more. They'll obviously ringing is being filmed in 10 days. So shit. That's awesome. Cool. Andy, get ready. Thank you to our producer, Olivia Query. We'll be back on Monday.
