Hello and welcome to Americans Talk Australian survivor.

00;00;03;21 - 00;00;06;10
I'm Rachel. I'm Leah. And I'm Matt.

00;00;06;10 - 00;00;07;17
Thanks for joining us.

00;00;07;17 - 00;00;11;21
We just watched episode 23 of Australian Survivor brains versus brawn two.

00;00;11;21 - 00;00;13;45
And there will be spoilers ahead.

00;00;13;45 - 00;00;15;53
We open up on the final four.

00;00;15;53 - 00;00;18;45
The postgraduates have made it.

00;00;18;45 - 00;00;20;06
And I.

00;00;20;06 - 00;00;23;51
As soon as the TV turned on and I saw the dark light

00;00;23;51 - 00;00;27;36
and I remembered that Miles had just taken a swing at AJ and it didn't take.

00;00;27;54 - 00;00;31;26
I felt like, a rock in the pit of my stomach.

00;00;31;26 - 00;00;32;40
I was so nervous for him.

00;00;32;40 - 00;00;36;14
I thought, oh, Miles, this is such a bad position to be in.

00;00;36;51 - 00;00;39;33
Right? But it didn't seem to phase in much.

00;00;39;33 - 00;00;41;33
Yeah, Miles was not as nervous as I was.

00;00;41;33 - 00;00;44;23
Though, because I thought it was going to be a bad situation, too.

00;00;44;23 - 00;00;45;49
Like, how could you do that to me?

00;00;45;49 - 00;00;47;10
But what you guys are worrying about?

00;00;47;10 - 00;00;50;53
Miles, I was so excited for Zara because she was talking

00;00;50;53 - 00;00;53;58
how she had the power to send someone home.

00;00;53;58 - 00;00;58;46
It was her decision and I just loved it that she is the final female.

00;00;59;11 - 00;01;02;08
She has been very strong

00;01;02;08 - 00;01;05;00
and there she was making the decision.

00;01;05;00 - 00;01;06;45
Was it the right decision?

00;01;06;45 - 00;01;09;03
I don't know, but she was so excited.

00;01;09;03 - 00;01;12;05
So she starts off saying how that everyone voted

00;01;12;05 - 00;01;15;24
for everyone else and then she got to make the decision

00;01;16;22 - 00;01;16;40
right?

00;01;16;40 - 00;01;18;06
So through her detective work,

00;01;18;06 - 00;01;19;56
she figured that everybody was getting one vote

00;01;19;56 - 00;01;22;32
and so she would be able to make the one decision

00;01;22;32 - 00;01;25;03
as who goes home a very unique situation.

00;01;25;03 - 00;01;28;39
Yeah, but she went to AJ said, listen, I told you the whole time

00;01;28;39 - 00;01;32;06
Miles is going after you and you didn't listen to me.

00;01;32;18 - 00;01;32;49
She did.

00;01;32;49 - 00;01;34;33
She told him and he didn't.

00;01;34;33 - 00;01;36;46
And she said,

00;01;36;46 - 00;01;39;41
And she said that Miles threw everything off of her,

00;01;39;41 - 00;01;43;20
decision because he threw in that immunity idol.

00;01;43;26 - 00;01;44;41
She was kind of upset by that.

00;01;44;41 - 00;01;47;18
Yeah.

00;01;47;18 - 00;01;49;59
Well, Zar is very proud of herself as she should be.

00;01;49;59 - 00;01;51;28
Yeah. That's a great move AJ.

00;01;51;28 - 00;01;54;28
Cause one of the top three moves of the game right.

00;01;55;12 - 00;01;57;16
But AJ says what was Miles thinking.

00;01;57;16 - 00;01;59;28
He's cooked. Yeah. Yeah.

00;01;59;28 - 00;01;59;51
Right.

00;01;59;51 - 00;02;01;39
Yeah a good.

00;02;01;39 - 00;02;04;28
And evil response even tells Miles that.

00;02;04;28 - 00;02;06;50
And he said listen they would not take you.

00;02;06;50 - 00;02;09;59
But I was going to take you the whole entire time and what you just

00;02;09;59 - 00;02;14;11
did, you put Zara up three, three pegs.

00;02;14;43 - 00;02;16;15
So you just messed up your game.

00;02;17;13 - 00;02;17;25
Yeah.

00;02;17;25 - 00;02;18;25
And AJ feels that

00;02;18;25 - 00;02;21;29
Kaitlyn will take him to the end and Zara will take him to the exit.

00;02;21;30 - 00;02;25;16
He's saying, Miles, you really messed up because this is it.

00;02;25;16 - 00;02;29;10
You know, AJ basically sees his path to the half million dollars.

00;02;29;39 - 00;02;34;27
But he was able to say that he would have loved to be taken out in that way.

00;02;34;27 - 00;02;37;57
So at least he can recognize it as a good move when he sees it.

00;02;38;06 - 00;02;39;39
He would have thought it was a great move.

00;02;39;39 - 00;02;42;27
Yeah, that's that's nice of him to say that.

00;02;42;27 - 00;02;45;00
Like you tried, but it didn't work.

00;02;45;00 - 00;02;48;55
Yeah, but I would have been proud if he did it.

00;02;49;09 - 00;02;52;11
And AJ and Kaitlyn are like, were sticking together, right?

00;02;52;11 - 00;02;54;03
They're not doing anything different.

00;02;54;03 - 00;02;55;34
They say they're going to the final two.

00;02;55;34 - 00;02;57;44
Each one will take the other one.

00;02;57;44 - 00;02;59;55
They called it the the perfect triangle.

00;03;01;02 - 00;03;05;48
So but now it's time to cannibalize.

00;03;05;48 - 00;03;06;06
Right.

00;03;06;06 - 00;03;09;56
We made it to the final four and now the post-grad two have to turn on each other.

00;03;10;12 - 00;03;12;00
Right. It's day 45.

00;03;12;00 - 00;03;13;39
I mean, how are these guys doing?

00;03;13;39 - 00;03;15;20
This is unbelievable.

00;03;15;20 - 00;03;18;03
A month and a half of eating rice and beans. Yeah.

00;03;18;03 - 00;03;21;03
It's crazy.

00;03;21;03 - 00;03;22;53
So Zara and AJ talk

00;03;22;53 - 00;03;25;53
and Zara says she's still taking AJ to the end.

00;03;26;02 - 00;03;28;47
But she says you know if Myles were to win today

00;03;28;47 - 00;03;31;43
we're going to have to think about getting out Kaitlyn and ages.

00;03;31;43 - 00;03;34;22
It's like, oh, I can't even think about, you know, like he's just not going to win.

00;03;34;22 - 00;03;38;15
You guys won't even acknowledge the fact that it's a possibility.

00;03;38;30 - 00;03;40;50
Which is a crazy thing to say. Just say it.

00;03;40;50 - 00;03;41;58
Right? Right. Yeah.

00;03;41;58 - 00;03;43;05
Because if you're not going to do.

00;03;43;05 - 00;03;45;00
It in the game of survivor, right.

00;03;45;00 - 00;03;45;45
Just say it.

00;03;45;45 - 00;03;50;04
But, you know, she was so taken aback by that, like, oh sure.

00;03;50;04 - 00;03;51;30
Yeah. And it just saved him.

00;03;51;30 - 00;03;53;43
Now he can't even say he's going to hell for I.

00;03;53;43 - 00;03;53;57
Right.

00;03;53;57 - 00;03;56;57
That is very, very scary. Yeah.

00;03;57;32 - 00;04;01;22
I will say Sara was talking a lot about, you know, if Myles wins,

00;04;01;22 - 00;04;04;22
if Myles wins and I'm thinking has he ever won immunity?

00;04;04;24 - 00;04;06;07
We read that word like yeah.

00;04;06;07 - 00;04;06;44
Yep we.

00;04;06;44 - 00;04;07;31
Have Sara.

00;04;07;31 - 00;04;09;29
He's been so close right.

00;04;09;29 - 00;04;11;21
He's very very close many times.

00;04;11;21 - 00;04;14;21
So I think that's why she was so concerned.

00;04;14;21 - 00;04;16;39
Yeah I think it was funny because then they go to Myles

00;04;16;39 - 00;04;19;05
and he calls ice Queen with Zara.

00;04;19;05 - 00;04;20;58
Is that ice queen I love it.

00;04;20;58 - 00;04;23;56
I was thinking that if if Myles if the producers

00;04;23;56 - 00;04;27;01
wanted Myles to win they would come up with some sort of puzzle or something.

00;04;27;01 - 00;04;29;25
That's what I was thinking at that point. Right.

00;04;29;25 - 00;04;31;47
If there's a puzzle Myles could win a puzzle.

00;04;31;47 - 00;04;32;14
Yeah.

00;04;32;14 - 00;04;35;14
Well I'm I'm still sticking with Myles speaking about.

00;04;35;14 - 00;04;38;16
And he said Zara you messed up my plan.

00;04;38;16 - 00;04;39;59
He doesn't trust her.

00;04;39;59 - 00;04;42;59
And he feels that

00;04;43;02 - 00;04;46;30
you know maybe AJ isn't feeling so well about him.

00;04;46;54 - 00;04;49;05
So now he has to go for Kaitlyn.

00;04;49;05 - 00;04;52;59
He's got to talk to Kaitlyn and make him see that I'm the only path to

00;04;52;59 - 00;04;53;51
the final two.

00;04;55;14 - 00;04;55;31
Yeah.

00;04;55;31 - 00;04;59;54
So Myles goal, for day 45 was to convince Kaitlyn

00;05;00;14 - 00;05;03;55
that he cannot go to the end with AJ, which we've seen.

00;05;03;55 - 00;05;05;22
Kaitlyn is a very loyal player.

00;05;05;22 - 00;05;09;32
He doesn't like to lie, so I don't think this is going to go over well for Myles.

00;05;10;26 - 00;05;10;49
Right.

00;05;10;49 - 00;05;12;22
And Kaitlyn says I'm with you.

00;05;12;22 - 00;05;15;08
But I don't really believe he means that.

00;05;15;08 - 00;05;19;34
Yeah, it does seem like Myles best choice taking Kaitlyn to the end.

00;05;19;34 - 00;05;21;45
Oh I agree yeah right right.

00;05;21;45 - 00;05;24;42
I think Myles can definitely be Kaitlyn.

00;05;24;42 - 00;05;26;11
Right.

00;05;26;11 - 00;05;29;38
Well now it's time for the immunity challenge of the Final Four.

00;05;29;38 - 00;05;31;14
It's a big one.

00;05;31;14 - 00;05;31;35
Yeah.

00;05;31;35 - 00;05;35;20
So the players today have to unwind the rope

00;05;35;20 - 00;05;37;29
with their bodies around these obstacle course.

00;05;37;29 - 00;05;40;27
Then they have to decide how much rope they need to get to their key.

00;05;40;27 - 00;05;43;25
Once they get to their key, they throw the beanbags

00;05;43;25 - 00;05;46;31
to spin that thing off, and then they climb over.

00;05;47;32 - 00;05;48;26
A. Ramp.

00;05;48;26 - 00;05;53;19
A ramp, and then finally they do a balance thing with the balls on a paddle.

00;05;53;19 - 00;05;56;19
So it's wow, we're hitting all the big points of Australians.

00;05;58;12 - 00;05;59;38
There is a. Lot it was.

00;05;59;38 - 00;06;03;36
But I liked how Kaitlyn was wrapping the rope around his arm and then climbing

00;06;04;01 - 00;06;04;55
instead of everyone.

00;06;04;55 - 00;06;08;02
It seemed like everyone else just had like a big, you know, pile of spaghetti.

00;06;08;02 - 00;06;08;36
Sort of.

00;06;08;36 - 00;06;12;03
Yes, but Kaitlyn went out and it wasn't enough, right?

00;06;12;05 - 00;06;13;33
Well, like, no.

00;06;13;33 - 00;06;15;59
Apparently Miles can estimate better than Kaitlyn.

00;06;15;59 - 00;06;18;26
I guess Sally was. First off and running.

00;06;18;26 - 00;06;21;31
Yeah. Yeah, I was getting worried for Miles.

00;06;21;31 - 00;06;23;55
I thought that his rope was going to get tangled, but. Right.

00;06;23;55 - 00;06;25;32
It's so fast.

00;06;25;32 - 00;06;28;18
Yeah. I'm like, oh, he's going to be 15ft short.

00;06;28;18 - 00;06;29;57
And then he did it.

00;06;29;57 - 00;06;34;53
Yeah, you could tell looking in Miles eyes on this challenge that he wanted to win.

00;06;34;53 - 00;06;37;14
He was just like frantic the entire time.

00;06;37;14 - 00;06;38;16
It felt like. Right.

00;06;38;16 - 00;06;40;19
Talking to him so that we.

00;06;40;19 - 00;06;40;36
Yeah.

00;06;40;36 - 00;06;43;20
I don't feel like we've seen that side of him during challenges before.

00;06;43;20 - 00;06;45;07
I think this time he really locked in

00;06;45;07 - 00;06;48;37
and really was passionate about winning because he knew he had to for his game.

00;06;48;37 - 00;06;51;28
He really messed up last night. You need to. Win, right?

00;06;51;28 - 00;06;53;53
But you think, oh my gosh, what's going to happen?

00;06;53;53 - 00;06;55;04
What's what is going to happen?

00;06;55;04 - 00;06;56;55
Is, is Myles going to be able to pull this off.

00;06;58;00 - 00;06;58;21
Yeah.

00;06;58;21 - 00;07;00;55
So Myles is off to a good start.

00;07;00;55 - 00;07;03;00
He gets to a huge lead.

00;07;03;00 - 00;07;03;20
Yeah.

00;07;03;20 - 00;07;05;53
He's hit those beanbags spinning that thing off.

00;07;05;53 - 00;07;07;18
He gets it off first.

00;07;07;18 - 00;07;09;14
He gets to the puzzle first.

00;07;09;14 - 00;07;12;50
And we see Kaitlyn and AJ are trying to catch up to him.

00;07;13;08 - 00;07;16;37
Zara unfortunately is dead last right.

00;07;16;37 - 00;07;16;49
Yeah.

00;07;16;49 - 00;07;19;49
She was pretty far behind. Unfortunately.

00;07;19;51 - 00;07;23;48
And then we see Myles dealing with the learning curve of this little ramp thing.

00;07;23;48 - 00;07;27;28
So this is really tough because if you knock one off

00;07;27;28 - 00;07;30;19
or one of them you know somehow you lose one.

00;07;30;19 - 00;07;32;50
You can't pick it up while keeping your other one's on.

00;07;32;50 - 00;07;34;07
So it's all or nothing, right?

00;07;34;07 - 00;07;35;32
It's start over bad.

00;07;35;32 - 00;07;38;31
It's you either have them all or you don't.

00;07;38;31 - 00;07;39;59
You don't. There's no in between.

00;07;39;59 - 00;07;40;48
And like, wow.

00;07;40;48 - 00;07;43;46
Like as soon as you let go they are all off.

00;07;43;46 - 00;07;45;21
Oh that was a tough a tough one.

00;07;46;49 - 00;07;48;41
But Myles is talking himself through it.

00;07;48;41 - 00;07;50;11
He's telling himself to breathe.

00;07;50;11 - 00;07;53;05
He says there is a new challenge enthusiasm. Right.

00;07;53;05 - 00;07;55;51
And then he's a jungle rat. He said something about the jungle rat.

00;07;55;51 - 00;07;58;09
But at one point he had two and dropped them.

00;07;58;09 - 00;07;58;58
Yeah.

00;07;58;58 - 00;08;01;02
Like oh geez.

00;08;01;02 - 00;08;02;57
While some of us said that.

00;08;02;57 - 00;08;04;22
I hear it from Myles.

00;08;04;22 - 00;08;07;14
Well yeah.

00;08;07;14 - 00;08;09;27
The underdog of underdogs right.

00;08;09;27 - 00;08;12;20
Oh yeah.

00;08;12;20 - 00;08;14;46
Well you could tell that Myles really wanted it.

00;08;14;46 - 00;08;17;08
And I was worried he was just going to get so nervous

00;08;17;08 - 00;08;19;26
and overthink it that he was going to drop them. All right.

00;08;19;26 - 00;08;22;07
And then once Kaitlyn got to the puzzle I thought oh game over.

00;08;22;07 - 00;08;25;56
Yes, the challenge is going to be sweep and, you know.

00;08;26;13 - 00;08;28;26
Roll those things down there and just get them in a second.

00;08;29;45 - 00;08;32;11
But lo and behold Myles pulls it off.

00;08;32;11 - 00;08;34;25
He gets his very first immunity challenge.

00;08;34;25 - 00;08;36;26
What he really needed at most.

00;08;36;26 - 00;08;38;37
Bucket list. Check. And yeah.

00;08;38;37 - 00;08;40;16
And Zara's on the other side of the ramp.

00;08;40;16 - 00;08;41;15
Oh no. Yeah yeah.

00;08;41;15 - 00;08;44;15
So you know she.

00;08;44;31 - 00;08;48;45
Like congratulations to Myles that he seemed very emotional getting it.

00;08;48;45 - 00;08;50;53
It seemed to have meant a lot to him.

00;08;50;53 - 00;08;53;53
Both personally of course in the game he really needed it.

00;08;54;55 - 00;08;55;21
Yeah.

00;08;55;21 - 00;08;59;54
Well then they go back and Zara says worst case scenario,

00;08;59;59 - 00;09;03;37
AJ, Kaitlyn and Zara have to turn on each other.

00;09;04;01 - 00;09;07;02
And then she goes and asks Myles, well, what do you want out?

00;09;08;21 - 00;09;08;38
Yeah.

00;09;08;38 - 00;09;11;12
So Zara and Myles have worked together for quite a long time.

00;09;11;12 - 00;09;14;43
They didn't vote together on the last vote and that obviously caused some tension.

00;09;15;04 - 00;09;17;06
But you know they have been allies for a while.

00;09;17;06 - 00;09;20;44
So yes I was like well this is my best chance right.

00;09;21;16 - 00;09;23;33
Myles thought they were going to vote together on the last vote.

00;09;24;34 - 00;09;25;01
Yeah.

00;09;25;01 - 00;09;27;00
And obviously Myles has the power here.

00;09;27;00 - 00;09;29;38
So it makes sense that Zara is targeting him first

00;09;29;38 - 00;09;31;51
because she knows that AJ and Kaitlyn are really tight.

00;09;31;51 - 00;09;34;55
So her best option is to vote with Myles.

00;09;36;06 - 00;09;38;34
But she's their idea. Also I got.

00;09;38;34 - 00;09;42;35
Their idea is that they need either AJ or Kaitlyn to flip

00;09;42;35 - 00;09;45;35
so that they have the majority three votes to send the other one home.

00;09;45;38 - 00;09;47;24
So they said, I think so.

00;09;47;24 - 00;09;49;02
I was like, I really don't have a preference.

00;09;49;02 - 00;09;51;52
Just whoever's willing to flip, they will target.

00;09;51;52 - 00;09;52;19
Right?

00;09;52;19 - 00;09;56;13
And they think AJ is more likely to flip on Kaitlyn than that.

00;09;56;13 - 00;09;59;00
Kaitlyn flip on AJ. So they're like, all right, this is our plan.

00;09;59;00 - 00;10;00;14
We're going to get AJ to flip.

00;10;00;14 - 00;10;03;28
We're going to send Kaitlyn home and let's see how that works.

00;10;04;22 - 00;10;06;42
Well it doesn't work out well because then AJ comes up

00;10;06;42 - 00;10;08;16
and he makes this announcement.

00;10;08;16 - 00;10;10;43
He says you know Kaitlyn and I are not flipping on each other.

00;10;10;43 - 00;10;12;03
We are voting together.

00;10;13;13 - 00;10;16;30
So now we get into a tricky situation.

00;10;16;30 - 00;10;20;59
So if Zara and Myles vote together and then AJ and Kaitlyn vote together, right.

00;10;21;02 - 00;10;25;01
We're in a tie and a final four tie goes to fire.

00;10;25;10 - 00;10;25;45
Right.

00;10;25;45 - 00;10;28;53
And then they say oh, and neither of them are very good at fire.

00;10;29;20 - 00;10;32;20
What, 45 days?

00;10;32;36 - 00;10;35;36
And you never thought that maybe you should practice fire.

00;10;35;41 - 00;10;37;13
It's like that last night.

00;10;37;13 - 00;10;40;13
Right now we need to look for an idol or practice fire.

00;10;40;49 - 00;10;41;25
Yeah.

00;10;41;25 - 00;10;44;48
Very even said, you know, I'm really not to be an addict.

00;10;45;51 - 00;10;47;50
I was hoping I'd be able to talk myself

00;10;47;50 - 00;10;50;49
out of ever making fire.

00;10;51;20 - 00;10;52;26
Why do we always say

00;10;52;26 - 00;10;55;55
if you're going on survivor, you have to know how to make fire, right?

00;10;56;20 - 00;10;57;34
We have a lot of rules.

00;10;57;34 - 00;11;01;48
If you go on survivor, you got to know how to make fire.

00;11;02;08 - 00;11;05;20
You have to be able to tie a long stick together to get a key off.

00;11;05;20 - 00;11;06;21
You know, we have a lot of

00;11;07;33 - 00;11;07;48
different.

00;11;07;48 - 00;11;09;41
Things that throw a sandbag.

00;11;09;41 - 00;11;10;19
Accurately.

00;11;10;19 - 00;11;13;30
Anyone gets cast on the next season, reach out to us.

00;11;13;31 - 00;11;16;22
We've got a list of things we want you to do.

00;11;16;22 - 00;11;19;02
Stand. Stand on a little stick.

00;11;19;02 - 00;11;20;52
Yeah, for an hour.

00;11;20;52 - 00;11;23;51
We'll give you a list of what to practice.

00;11;24;45 - 00;11;26;55
Well, AJ comes up with a good point.

00;11;26;55 - 00;11;28;39
So he says that.

00;11;28;39 - 00;11;31;30
So as far as saying you know let's not even worry about fire.

00;11;31;30 - 00;11;34;03
Let's just be reasonable. Let's be adults.

00;11;34;03 - 00;11;35;47
How about you flip with us?

00;11;35;47 - 00;11;38;36
We all vote okay. When done deal.

00;11;38;36 - 00;11;39;52
AJ brings up a good point.

00;11;39;52 - 00;11;43;12
If AJ were to vote Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn were two votes Sara

00;11;43;27 - 00;11;46;16
and then Zara and Myles target AJ.

00;11;46;16 - 00;11;47;05
AJ goes home.

00;11;47;05 - 00;11;49;40
No fire, no chance of staying in the game.

00;11;49;40 - 00;11;53;12
And so I mean once you said that I'm like yeah that does actually sound like

00;11;53;12 - 00;11;55;48
some things are in the house would do right right.

00;11;55;48 - 00;11;58;27
They know Myles wanted him out last time.

00;11;58;27 - 00;12;01;27
I would not put it past Myles to get them out this way to kind of trick

00;12;01;27 - 00;12;02;49
him like sure. Right.

00;12;03;54 - 00;12;05;22
So AJ has no trust in them.

00;12;05;22 - 00;12;06;31
He said he's not doing that.

00;12;06;31 - 00;12;10;06
He said we're going to go deadlock and we're going to do fire and that's that.

00;12;10;06 - 00;12;13;55
So it is exciting that there's only four people left in the game,

00;12;13;55 - 00;12;15;05
but there's so many options.

00;12;15;05 - 00;12;15;52
We're really thinking

00;12;15;52 - 00;12;19;04
through every possible scenario and there's a lot of them right.

00;12;19;04 - 00;12;22;04
And it seems like Zara is really

00;12;22;08 - 00;12;23;41
playing the game the most.

00;12;23;41 - 00;12;26;19
Oh she is, she's really thinking, what can I do?

00;12;26;19 - 00;12;29;12
I'm like trying every angle

00;12;29;12 - 00;12;31;14
so that I can stay. She wants to stay alive.

00;12;31;14 - 00;12;32;55
She's gotten so far.

00;12;32;55 - 00;12;35;49
It's just a shame if she has to leave.

00;12;35;49 - 00;12;38;49
Yeah, she is fighting for her life.

00;12;38;58 - 00;12;41;06
So then Zara approaches Kaitlyn.

00;12;41;06 - 00;12;42;51
He says, no, I'm not going to death.

00;12;44;13 - 00;12;45;01
And that's kind of it.

00;12;45;01 - 00;12;47;14
That he even mentioned Izzat.

00;12;47;14 - 00;12;50;05
He said that he was very bizarre. And he's like, well, you understand?

00;12;50;05 - 00;12;51;48
And she says, well, not really.

00;12;51;48 - 00;12;54;40
I don't know. Yeah.

00;12;54;40 - 00;12;56;01
Sara brings up a great point.

00;12;56;01 - 00;12;57;29
She saved Kaitlyn last night.

00;12;57;29 - 00;13;00;08
He was vulnerable without the the necklace.

00;13;00;08 - 00;13;02;27
It would have been so easy for her to send him home.

00;13;02;27 - 00;13;03;53
And she did it.

00;13;03;53 - 00;13;06;30
And he's not really repaying the favor.

00;13;06;30 - 00;13;06;55
Right.

00;13;06;55 - 00;13;10;00
It doesn't necessarily seem like he's nicely targeting her.

00;13;10;00 - 00;13;12;03
He's just not going to help her.

00;13;12;03 - 00;13;14;43
Yeah, which is too bad. Right?

00;13;14;43 - 00;13;17;42
So it's looking like Zara is going to make fire

00;13;18;49 - 00;13;21;51
and she's practicing, which is what we always tell people to do.

00;13;22;12 - 00;13;22;36
Yeah.

00;13;22;36 - 00;13;25;25
So I'm happy that she's finally practicing.

00;13;25;25 - 00;13;25;41
Yeah.

00;13;25;41 - 00;13;28;41
Well it's funny because she's saying, well, I'm not very good at fire, but

00;13;29;09 - 00;13;31;57
did anyone practice before going on survivor?

00;13;31;57 - 00;13;34;10
You have to practice.

00;13;34;10 - 00;13;35;43
I don't know, Kaitlyn certainly did.

00;13;35;43 - 00;13;39;31
He knows he seems to have been the fire guy for their tribe for a while.

00;13;39;42 - 00;13;40;02
Right?

00;13;40;02 - 00;13;43;18
And Kaitlyn said that he will help Sara, right?

00;13;43;18 - 00;13;47;48
He can't help with the vote, but he said he will help her with the fire.

00;13;47;48 - 00;13;50;22
He's very upset about his position right now.

00;13;51;27 - 00;13;51;52
It is

00;13;51;52 - 00;13;55;50
interesting seeing this top four because they've been friends for 45 days.

00;13;55;50 - 00;13;57;36
They found each other and they've worked together.

00;13;57;36 - 00;13;59;25
And so it's this weird little thing

00;13;59;25 - 00;14;02;29
where everyone's being supportive of watching Zara make fire,

00;14;02;29 - 00;14;04;21
and they're being nice to her and they're trying to be helpful.

00;14;04;21 - 00;14;06;25
And she's like, AJ, do you want to try?

00;14;06;25 - 00;14;09;25
And it's this weird dynamic.

00;14;09;59 - 00;14;10;47
So I don't know.

00;14;10;47 - 00;14;15;05
It's it's nice to see a Final Four that likes each other

00;14;15;05 - 00;14;18;04
and has been working together because so many times in the game,

00;14;18;13 - 00;14;21;59
you hear people say, were the final four, were the final five, it never happens.

00;14;22;02 - 00;14;22;36
All right.

00;14;22;36 - 00;14;24;15
So she's sitting right there.

00;14;24;15 - 00;14;26;37
These four players that have been doing a really great job

00;14;26;37 - 00;14;28;30
all game were able to make it to this point.

00;14;28;30 - 00;14;33;32
But now when they turn on each other it's it's always sad to see it is.

00;14;33;32 - 00;14;36;32
But it is interesting that, you know, we're going to be the final four.

00;14;36;37 - 00;14;37;28
And their brains.

00;14;37;28 - 00;14;40;49
And you would have thought miles of all people would still be there.

00;14;40;49 - 00;14;43;49
I'm thinking that them people on the Braun team,

00;14;44;16 - 00;14;48;22
they're probably like, oh my gosh, when they're rewatching this on TV,

00;14;48;24 - 00;14;50;05
how did this happen?

00;14;50;05 - 00;14;53;01
How especially, the school teacher.

00;14;53;01 - 00;14;57;51
Oh, I can't remember his name right now who wanted him out a long time ago.

00;14;57;51 - 00;14;59;40
And he's probably like, how is he there?

00;14;59;40 - 00;15;02;36
And I'm not, you know, and a mad Max, right?

00;15;02;36 - 00;15;03;11
You know.

00;15;03;11 - 00;15;03;36
Yeah.

00;15;03;36 - 00;15;06;25
They must be like, how is this happening?

00;15;06;25 - 00;15;08;10
Was that guy still in? Right.

00;15;08;10 - 00;15;08;35
Oh, he.

00;15;08;35 - 00;15;09;50
Really is the jungle rat.

00;15;09;50 - 00;15;12;50
He just can't stamp out yet.

00;15;12;54 - 00;15;13;15
And then.

00;15;13;15 - 00;15;17;34
But Kaitlyn and Myles talk, and Myles wants to know if,

00;15;18;04 - 00;15;19;51
Kaitlyn will vote out AJ.

00;15;19;51 - 00;15;24;31
And he says, no, no, I won't vote for AJ, but I will take you to the final two.

00;15;24;31 - 00;15;26;23
And I'm thinking, well, why would Myles buy that

00;15;26;23 - 00;15;29;03
if you can't hold up AJ why would you think I'm going to you?

00;15;29;03 - 00;15;32;58
I would take you over AJ to the final two.

00;15;33;34 - 00;15;35;15
But I guess he think he maybe.

00;15;35;15 - 00;15;38;13
Myles says while Kaitlyn will know he can't beat AJ.

00;15;39;21 - 00;15;40;30
Yeah well

00;15;40;30 - 00;15;44;33
it didn't seem like Kaitlyn and AJ had been talking about it before

00;15;44;33 - 00;15;47;41
saying why don't you just tell Myles that you'll take him to the final two

00;15;47;41 - 00;15;49;20
so that he'll you're right about getting up.

00;15;49;20 - 00;15;52;02
All right. Yeah. And Kaitlyn did a good job.

00;15;52;02 - 00;15;54;57
I you know, I believed when he was saying that.

00;15;54;57 - 00;15;57;35
Yeah, but this is like the first time Kaitlyn's lied all game.

00;15;57;35 - 00;15;58;34
Yeah. Okay, good.

00;15;58;34 - 00;16;02;09
So I'm happy that he's finally getting into the spirit of survivor.

00;16;02;10 - 00;16;03;37
Right.

00;16;03;37 - 00;16;06;20
But yeah, I think that Myles is smart enough to know

00;16;06;20 - 00;16;09;54
why would he take Myles over AJ

00;16;10;01 - 00;16;13;21
if you won't even vote out AJ now you know it doesn't make any sense right.

00;16;13;59 - 00;16;18;02
And then Myles speaks a little bit about how everyone's coming to him.

00;16;18;02 - 00;16;21;23
And he says hey Jason Master Shark and

00;16;21;23 - 00;16;24;23
then AJ pitches Zara to Myles.

00;16;25;01 - 00;16;26;07
Yeah.

00;16;26;07 - 00;16;29;48
And so it's it's interesting

00;16;29;48 - 00;16;33;37
Kaitlyn and AJ are worried that Myles will go to fire.

00;16;33;56 - 00;16;37;16
Not for a logical reason, but just for the drama of the game.

00;16;37;16 - 00;16;40;39
And I'm the lover that I really like us.

00;16;40;39 - 00;16;42;27
Yeah, I'm sitting there thinking the same thing.

00;16;42;27 - 00;16;44;51
This is going to happen Myles loves this.

00;16;44;51 - 00;16;46;01
And it makes for good TV.

00;16;46;01 - 00;16;47;40
I want to see the fire too right.

00;16;47;40 - 00;16;50;40
Oh my right knows how to play to the TVs right.

00;16;50;42 - 00;16;54;21
Show me the tension of building the fire and who's going to do it.

00;16;54;32 - 00;16;54;50
Well.

00;16;54;50 - 00;16;56;52
And then Zara going at it going out.

00;16;56;52 - 00;16;58;04
Keep trying. Trying.

00;16;58;04 - 00;17;00;55
And then she makes fire right before tribal.

00;17;02;00 - 00;17;02;29
Right.

00;17;02;29 - 00;17;05;29
Yeah. That was wonderful. Not AJ.

00;17;05;36 - 00;17;07;27
No I know how they did to him.

00;17;07;27 - 00;17;09;26
But Zara is not stopping.

00;17;09;26 - 00;17;12;26
She's fighting every inch. Yeah.

00;17;13;09 - 00;17;14;53
So then we get to tribal

00;17;14;53 - 00;17;19;09
and we hear Zara say that maybe she made a mistake last night.

00;17;19;09 - 00;17;23;22
Maybe she should have listened to Miles because now she's being targeted.

00;17;24;07 - 00;17;25;41
Right.

00;17;25;41 - 00;17;28;22
But she says that she has no doubt

00;17;28;22 - 00;17;30;17
in her mind that she will be making fire tonight.

00;17;30;17 - 00;17;33;32
And the jury's faces were so excited.

00;17;34;13 - 00;17;37;34
They were excited to see a possible fire, just like I was.

00;17;37;56 - 00;17;41;34
I think everyone on that jury dislikes all four of them.

00;17;42;06 - 00;17;46;16
Well, I guess Zara they don't dislike, but everyone else they dislike, right?

00;17;47;24 - 00;17;50;24
Yeah, I think it's been a pretty chaotic four

00;17;50;29 - 00;17;53;31
that has wreaked havoc on the tribes

00;17;54;09 - 00;17;58;03
from day one to day 45, so they've burnt a lot of people in their way.

00;17;58;03 - 00;17;58;28
Right.

00;17;58;28 - 00;18;02;13
So Ali looks like I'm not interested in any of that.

00;18;02;13 - 00;18;04;44
Sure. That he have was very nice.

00;18;04;44 - 00;18;07;06
Yeah. The sparkles are. Yeah, yeah.

00;18;07;06 - 00;18;10;13
So you're so maybe you're thinking that Kaitlyn can win

00;18;10;13 - 00;18;13;16
because the others who he would go against are so hated.

00;18;13;49 - 00;18;14;28
Could be.

00;18;14;28 - 00;18;18;08
That the jury might just say, I can't stand those other people.

00;18;18;13 - 00;18;19;36
Except for Zara.

00;18;19;36 - 00;18;24;07
Zara has, her buddies over there, so maybe Zara, but they're mad at Zara, too.

00;18;24;07 - 00;18;26;49
I don't know, it's very interesting and.

00;18;26;49 - 00;18;28;39
Well, this is the great part about survivor.

00;18;28;39 - 00;18;32;40
The people that you vote out have to pick you right to be the winner.

00;18;32;40 - 00;18;34;04
That's what makes it so exciting.

00;18;35;42 - 00;18;38;05
Well, there's a lot of talk about what

00;18;38;05 - 00;18;41;36
Zara did wrong last night and how it's going to affect her today.

00;18;42;05 - 00;18;47;03
And they sort of end tribal by AJ saying that he's basing his vote

00;18;47;03 - 00;18;50;37
tonight or something like that, because he can spells out his name.

00;18;52;23 - 00;18;54;49
And then they come, you know, back, gosh, come.

00;18;54;49 - 00;18;57;59
Back from the commercial and, you know, they play it again like, ouch.

00;18;58;08 - 00;18;59;40
Yeah. Wow.

00;18;59;40 - 00;19;01;00
That's gotta hurt.

00;19;01;00 - 00;19;01;48
Yeah.

00;19;01;48 - 00;19;05;19
And he's been friends with her for maybe not on the best terms,

00;19;05;19 - 00;19;08;18
but they've lived together for 45 days.

00;19;08;22 - 00;19;10;53
He should have said it differently.

00;19;10;53 - 00;19;14;13
But I guess AJ too knows how to play to the show.

00;19;14;13 - 00;19;17;12
Sure, sure. How to make a presentation.

00;19;17;48 - 00;19;20;25
So then they go to the voting booths and I'm thinking,

00;19;20;25 - 00;19;22;06
all right, we're getting ready for fire.

00;19;22;06 - 00;19;25;55
They've got to be, you know, prepping the flint in the back, ready to wheel out.

00;19;26;28 - 00;19;29;28
All right here we go AJ versus Zara.

00;19;29;53 - 00;19;34;23
And we read you know one vote Zara one vote AJ one vote Zara.

00;19;34;23 - 00;19;37;15
And I'm like all right here we go. Next vote AJ right.

00;19;37;15 - 00;19;40;27
And JLP says the file or you know whatever number the next person.

00;19;40;27 - 00;19;42;41
That yeah. Is Zara.

00;19;42;41 - 00;19;45;41
Oh that oh that's so sad.

00;19;46;11 - 00;19;48;26
But I really thought she was going to fire.

00;19;48;26 - 00;19;49;56
Yeah right.

00;19;49;56 - 00;19;52;16
Well I thought it was very well spoken

00;19;52;16 - 00;19;55;43
when she left, she said it is a privilege to be part of the graduate crew.

00;19;56;12 - 00;19;58;03
I mean you got to give her kudos.

00;19;58;03 - 00;19;59;53
She did an excellent job, right?

00;19;59;53 - 00;20;01;59
She a final female there.

00;20;01;59 - 00;20;04;52
And boy, did she stick to our guns.

00;20;04;52 - 00;20;07;03
And she fought every inch to get there.

00;20;07;03 - 00;20;07;52
And good job.

00;20;07;52 - 00;20;10;39
I can't say anything negative.

00;20;10;39 - 00;20;12;23
Well in the beginning I thought you

00;20;13;26 - 00;20;15;32
said in the beginning I said some negative things.

00;20;15;32 - 00;20;18;44
But at the end, she did such a great job.

00;20;19;17 - 00;20;21;13
She grew on us a lot. Yeah, yeah.

00;20;21;13 - 00;20;22;20
See you then.

00;20;22;20 - 00;20;25;55
Well, I like in Zara's testimonial at the end, her confessional,

00;20;25;55 - 00;20;26;20
she said, you.

00;20;26;20 - 00;20;29;01
But you boys better have a good story to tell

00;20;29;01 - 00;20;30;57
when it comes down to the final two.

00;20;30;57 - 00;20;34;26
So she's really bummed that she got voted out this close to the end.

00;20;34;40 - 00;20;35;29
And I don't blame her.

00;20;35;29 - 00;20;37;40
Yeah, it has to be devastating, right?

00;20;37;40 - 00;20;41;23
I don't understand why the females could not stick together like the males yet.

00;20;42;05 - 00;20;44;48
Nope. They just couldn't do it.

00;20;44;48 - 00;20;46;54
There's always it always seems that in the games

00;20;46;54 - 00;20;50;14
of survivor survival, they're saying, let's stick together.

00;20;50;30 - 00;20;53;33
All the guys, all the women, but they never do in the end.

00;20;54;11 - 00;20;57;11
Well, these did these, these three brains did.

00;20;57;18 - 00;20;57;43
Right?

00;20;58;48 - 00;20;59;08
Yeah.

00;20;59;08 - 00;21;01;03
So it's interesting to see that Miles

00;21;01;03 - 00;21;03;32
and AJ really did make it very close to the end together.

00;21;03;32 - 00;21;05;08
And they brought their buddy Kayla.

00;21;05;08 - 00;21;06;00
Yeah. It's yes.

00;21;06;00 - 00;21;09;00
I a. So should we make some predictions.

00;21;09;41 - 00;21;12;32
But what's going to happen in the next episode.

00;21;12;32 - 00;21;14;50
Yeah. So oh let's see.

00;21;14;50 - 00;21;16;01
What do you think.

00;21;16;01 - 00;21;19;47
Well I'm still voting for Myles my first choice.

00;21;20;00 - 00;21;22;22
And I would love to see him win.

00;21;22;22 - 00;21;25;11
So it comes down to if Kaitlyn can, you know,

00;21;25;11 - 00;21;28;11
stand on those little pieces of wood longer than anybody else.

00;21;28;18 - 00;21;30;42
And he takes Myles.

00;21;30;42 - 00;21;31;00
Right.

00;21;31;00 - 00;21;34;14
Is that wood or does it automatically go to fire.

00;21;35;29 - 00;21;39;03
No I think for a final two situation

00;21;39;03 - 00;21;42;21
I think whoever wins immunity

00;21;42;21 - 00;21;46;31
tomorrow will be able just to choose who they take to final two.

00;21;46;33 - 00;21;48;01
Right. That's my understanding. Right.

00;21;48;01 - 00;21;52;52
And so he I think that Kaitlyn is going to take AJ out and Myles will be out.

00;21;53;14 - 00;21;55;27
And then I think that AJ will win

00;21;56;24 - 00;21;57;31
based on

00;21;57;31 - 00;22;00;49
playing a better strategic game than physical game.

00;22;02;46 - 00;22;03;33
I agree.

00;22;03;33 - 00;22;06;58
I think that Kaitlyn will most likely win and take AJ, but

00;22;07;18 - 00;22;10;59
I would hope that Myles can somehow sneak into the final two and win.

00;22;10;59 - 00;22;14;08
I don't know if he'll be able to do it, but that would be my hope.

00;22;14;15 - 00;22;15;07
It'd be exciting.

00;22;15;07 - 00;22;19;49
So I think Myles, based on his size, might be able to win this immunity,

00;22;20;41 - 00;22;22;33
but can he stand the pain?

00;22;22;33 - 00;22;26;46
And I guess it does seem like Kaitlyn can endure more pain than anyone else.

00;22;27;26 - 00;22;29;41
I have to say I'm I'm voting for AJ.

00;22;29;41 - 00;22;31;16
Either way, I don't care what happens.

00;22;31;16 - 00;22;33;50
I just want AJ to win at this point.

00;22;33;50 - 00;22;36;09
But I think AJ will be in the final two for sure.

00;22;36;09 - 00;22;39;45
I don't see him winning this challenge tomorrow, but I see him in the final two.

00;22;39;47 - 00;22;42;05
How is he not won any challenges?

00;22;42;05 - 00;22;46;17
But I also have to say it seemed like this challenge, his last challenge,

00;22;46;40 - 00;22;52;06
it was built once again to Myles height and AJ and Kaitlyn were taller.

00;22;52;06 - 00;22;54;59
You saw Kaitlyn had to spread his legs out.

00;22;54;59 - 00;22;58;20
Far. To squat and AJ was just too tall.

00;22;58;31 - 00;23;02;38
And I don't understand why this season they're not making it towards everyone's

00;23;02;38 - 00;23;03;33
body type.

00;23;04;33 - 00;23;05;32
I think that's just part of

00;23;05;32 - 00;23;08;41
the challenge of being on survivor is, you know, can you

00;23;09;47 - 00;23;11;44
can you handle it? I don't know, yeah.

00;23;11;44 - 00;23;15;58
Because even Zar was having trouble lifting herself up over the tall rails

00;23;15;58 - 00;23;18;02
and everything. Right?

00;23;18;02 - 00;23;19;12
I don't know, it's very interesting.

00;23;19;12 - 00;23;22;12
But anyway, Zara, very sad to see you go.

00;23;23;18 - 00;23;23;52
Thank you very much.

00;23;23;52 - 00;23;25;37
Interesting. Boys are. Men.

00;23;25;37 - 00;23;25;50
Yeah.

00;23;25;50 - 00;23;28;55
It was interesting that in, Myles, as he was

00;23;28;55 - 00;23;31;58
announcing his vote at the,  confessional booth.

00;23;32;03 - 00;23;32;23
Oh, yeah.

00;23;32;23 - 00;23;36;22
He said that it was basically like payback for not sticking with him last,

00;23;36;32 - 00;23;38;08
last vote.

00;23;38;08 - 00;23;42;20
So unfortunately, I think Zara's vote last night taking out

00;23;42;20 - 00;23;45;42
Kate while it was it looked like it would have been good for a game.

00;23;45;42 - 00;23;50;26
I think it really,  sort of led to her downfall this episode.

00;23;50;26 - 00;23;53;08
Which is too bad, right? Payback.

00;23;53;08 - 00;23;57;14
Unfortunately, because she did, Kaitlyn and AJ weren't going to break.

00;23;57;25 - 00;23;59;32
And then Myles yeah said this is it.

00;23;59;32 - 00;24;04;20
But if she would have voted out one of the others and left Kate I don't know.

00;24;04;20 - 00;24;08;25
She might have been voted out again today because Myles might have thought,

00;24;08;25 - 00;24;11;34
well, I can probably win over Kate better than I can Zara.

00;24;12;12 - 00;24;13;07
Yeah. Right.

00;24;13;07 - 00;24;16;04
So it's hard to say how it all would have turned out.

00;24;16;04 - 00;24;19;18
But it is too bad that you know

00;24;19;20 - 00;24;22;19
Zara's big vote is kind of what led to her downfall this episode.

00;24;23;04 - 00;24;23;58
Yeah right.

00;24;23;58 - 00;24;27;57
But she did a great job and we are so excited for the finale tomorrow.

00;24;27;57 - 00;24;29;58
I can't believe it's already here.

00;24;29;58 - 00;24;34;33
We are so excited to see how the Jungle Rat and what does AJ call himself?

00;24;34;33 - 00;24;37;49
The Emperor and then challenge enthusiast

00;24;37;49 - 00;24;40;52
Kaitlyn has come together for the final three.

00;24;40;54 - 00;24;42;35
Record holder Kaitlyn.

00;24;42;35 - 00;24;45;08
Yeah, well, congratulations to all three of them.

00;24;45;08 - 00;24;48;45
Think of all the people that have been here and have been eliminated.

00;24;48;56 - 00;24;52;14
Some I know absolutely no thought.

00;24;52;14 - 00;24;55;19
Just and bad luck they were voted out.

00;24;55;19 - 00;24;58;42
You feel so badly for everyone who is just like no one got to know them.

00;24;58;42 - 00;25;01;46
No one even you know, I just got voted out.

00;25;02;06 - 00;25;04;42
So congratulations to these top three.

00;25;05;54 - 00;25;07;17
They did an excellent job

00;25;07;17 - 00;25;10;17
and we're excited to see how it all works tomorrow.

00;25;10;30 - 00;25;13;20

Thanks for joining us. We just watched episode 22 of Australian Survivor brains versus brawn two. And there will be spoilers ahead. We open up on the final five. Woo hoo! Wow. It's been a long journey for these players, but they are proud of themselves and they have made it to a huge accomplishment on any season of survivor to make it to the final.

00;00;25;34 - 00;00;29;09
Leah
544 days. It's unbelievable.

00;00;29;14 - 00;00;31;49
Matt
You start to get nervous now right?

00;00;31;54 - 00;00;45;36
Rachel
Yeah, and they should be, because we see Miles and Zahra talking on the beach. And Miles and Miles really wants to sit next to Zahra at the end. He thinks he can beat her and he thinks it's time to target age. It's number one.

00;00;45;41 - 00;00;47;57
Leah
I don't want AJ to go boo.

00;00;48;02 - 00;01;05;54
Rachel
Well, you know, I mean, I think we talked last episode about Kate and Morgan turning on each other and how how they didn't turn on each other because they have such a close alliance and how it's tough to watch that on survivor because you say, oh, it's a game, you've got to vote out your friends. And now here we go.

00;01;05;54 - 00;01;11;48
Rachel
We see Miles being a survivor player, saying, I'm going to vote for my friend because I want to win this game, right?

00;01;11;51 - 00;01;15;11
Leah
You did. He kept saying that I'm going to win the game.

00;01;15;22 - 00;01;32;04
Matt
And with all the seasons of survivor we've watched, there's always people saying we're going to be friends for the rest of our lives. On the outside, we're going to stay in touch. So I mean, they become very good friends with when you eat, sleep and drink with somebody all day for weeks.

00;01;32;08 - 00;01;37;50
Rachel
Yeah. And I think that Myles and AJ both have enough respect for the game that they'll be friends outside of this for sure.

00;01;37;52 - 00;01;41;37
Leah
Well, Miles even said that that he thinks that data will respect them.

00;01;41;37 - 00;01;42;02
Leah
Exactly.

00;01;42;10 - 00;01;43;30
Rachel
So he's thinking that yeah.

00;01;43;37 - 00;01;45;42
Matt
Yeah. When I vote you out, you'll respect me.

00;01;45;43 - 00;01;46;00
Leah
Yeah.

00;01;46;00 - 00;01;59;27
Rachel
One thing that Myles did say to Zara is when I take out AJ, the jury's going to be wowed. So Myles is already taking credit for this move. That hasn't happened yet that he needs Zara to help with.

00;01;59;31 - 00;02;00;15
Matt
It's funny all.

00;02;00;15 - 00;02;01;01
Leah
These all these.

00;02;01;09 - 00;02;04;27
Matt
Plans it seems like a battle of the brains is really coming. Coming true.

00;02;04;31 - 00;02;16;13
Rachel
Yeah. We've barely heard about Kate by the beginning part of the episode. She was almost gone last night and now she seems to have skated on by because the post grads are turning on each other, right?

00;02;16;20 - 00;02;22;25
Leah
Yes. Well, I think it's interesting that there are four brains left. And last season, Hayley won

00;02;22;25 - 00;02;27;24
Leah
the last brawn versus brains. So it's interesting. The brains. Here they go again.

00;02;27;28 - 00;02;31;36
Rachel
It certainly looks like the brains are victorious against the brawn.

00;02;31;45 - 00;02;34;51
Matt
If you could just get through those first couple of ones that you lose

00;02;34;51 - 00;02;35;33
Matt
the brawn

00;02;35;33 - 00;02;42;18
Matt
finishes all the, the tribal, the challenges and wins them all. If you can just get through those, you have a better chance, right?

00;02;42;27 - 00;02;44;49
Rachel
Being a brain if you can make it to the merge. Right.

00;02;45;26 - 00;02;59;34
Rachel
Well we see the brains all talking to each other. The postgraduates and Myles is expressing that Kate is next. And AJ being the great poker player that he is. Says that's ridiculous. He's definitely got something else up his sleeve.

00;02;59;37 - 00;03;00;56
Leah
Yeah.

00;03;01;00 - 00;03;06;23
Rachel
So he knows him well. Yeah. He doesn't know that he's the target, but he certainly knows him well.

00;03;06;28 - 00;03;11;15
Matt
Right? He thinks it's Kaitlyn. Yeah, AJ thinks my Myles is going to vote Kaitlyn.

00;03;11;15 - 00;03;13;00
Leah
Right? And he tells Kaitlyn that.

00;03;13;00 - 00;03;16;49
Rachel
And he also tells Art, which is interesting that Zar is getting all A's.

00;03;16;54 - 00;03;17;27
Leah
Yeah right.

00;03;17;39 - 00;03;31;03
Matt
And I thought for sure at this point that AJ was going to say and Myles has a now an idol but he didn't. He kept it like a good poker player. Kept it close to his chest. Didn't let other people see what he knows.

00;03;31;03 - 00;03;49;22
Rachel
Well now it's time to get into the immunity challenge. So. Right at the beginning, we talked about, you know, how Kaitlyn's won so many. And AJ announces to the group that he wants Kaitlyn to win every single one in hopes that he doesn't stop. Which is an interesting thing to say about your competitor.

00;03;49;27 - 00;04;04;53
Leah
I think AJ is such a good friend to Kaitlyn. He really sincerely wants him to keep winning and maybe he knows since he is good friends with Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn will protect him with that with immunity. I guess it's better to have your friend win it than someone else.

00;04;04;58 - 00;04;09;19
Rachel
Yeah, and I guess AJ probably could beat Kaitlyn at the end. I think that's what he's thinking.

00;04;09;24 - 00;04;10;34
Leah
I think so.

00;04;10;39 - 00;04;15;06
Matt
I guess so. So if Kaitlyn wins everyone, that's okay because he'll take me with him.

00;04;15;11 - 00;04;16;20
Leah
Yeah.

00;04;16;25 - 00;04;19;24
Rachel
Yeah I don't know if AJ has told us who his top

00;04;19;24 - 00;04;20;33
Rachel
person said Kaitlyn.

00;04;20;33 - 00;04;22;44
Leah
I thought he so did. Yeah I think he said both and.

00;04;22;44 - 00;04;26;34
Rachel
It makes me. Yeah yeah makes sense that he wants Kaitlyn to keep winning immunities.

00;04;26;34 - 00;04;29;27
Matt
But did he ever tell Myles that he was that they were.

00;04;29;34 - 00;04;32;28
Leah
I think Myles and AJ know that they can't take each other.

00;04;32;30 - 00;04;34;04
Matt
Okay. They're smart enough.

00;04;34;05 - 00;04;34;27
Leah
Yeah.

00;04;34;29 - 00;04;38;49
Rachel
Yeah. Yeah. They know they can't sit next to each other. But what what how would that be. That would be.

00;04;38;49 - 00;04;44;55
Leah
Awesome. I would be the best. The absolutely best. And who would win? Yeah. All right, so off to the immunity challenge,

00;04;44;55 - 00;05;05;23
Rachel
Yeah. So they have to take these blocks over a little obstacle where you can, you know, trip it and wobble your stack, and you have to stack up 12 blocks. So it feels kind of similar to last night's, challenge at tribal council where, you know, you're stacking things and it's balance and it's precision. Right? So I, I was a little frustrated that it was quite similar.

00;05;05;24 - 00;05;08;42
Rachel
I would have wanted something a little bit different. Right. Back to back.

00;05;08;43 - 00;05;09;07
Leah
Challenges.

00;05;09;11 - 00;05;12;41
Matt
Similar to immunity challenge number two from from the previous.

00;05;12;41 - 00;05;34;13
Leah
Episode. Well, what I didn't like is that they didn't base it on height. Like AJ had an extremely difficult time getting under the, gate. And, Jonathan even said something about being like, I don't know, something about tall. Yeah, it was a challenge, so that just doesn't seem fair. Why not make it so everyone has an equal, distance?

00;05;34;18 - 00;05;36;08
Matt
Okay. Should be based on your body, right?

00;05;36;09 - 00;05;36;42
Leah
Correct.

00;05;36;54 - 00;05;43;59
Rachel
Because, yeah, for the strength ones, they do it by percentage of your body weight. So it should be the same thing. It should be based on your height.

00;05;44;00 - 00;05;44;31
Leah
Yes.

00;05;44;42 - 00;05;49;42
Matt
And someone with shorter legs has a harder time because they have to lift their feet up higher. So maybe they're just saying it's,

00;05;49;42 - 00;05;58;10
Matt
both, you know, taller people have to duck down lower. Shorter people have to lift their feet higher. But I think you got to lift your feet higher a lot more. I don't know. It should be.

00;05;58;21 - 00;06;01;03
Matt
I feel like it should be the same for everybody. Based on your height.

00;06;01;03 - 00;06;01;38
Leah
I agree.

00;06;01;48 - 00;06;03;18
Rachel
They never take our advice. What

00;06;03;18 - 00;06;05;25
Rachel
changes are they working on?

00;06;05;30 - 00;06;10;25
Leah
Yes I know. Yeah. All right, so Caitlin's in the lead, right?

00;06;10;30 - 00;06;14;01
Rachel
Yeah. To no one's surprise, Kate and Caitlin are both doing well.

00;06;14;06 - 00;06;15;27
Leah
Right? Very well.

00;06;15;27 - 00;06;18;19
Rachel
it looks like Caitlin's about to pull through, but he drops.

00;06;18;25 - 00;06;23;34
Leah
Oh. All right, number 11. How upsetting. Oh, down. Wow. Had to be hard.

00;06;23;38 - 00;06;29;11
Rachel
And he was, you know, preparing himself, taking a deep breath before he went in. So that was really too bad.

00;06;29;16 - 00;06;30;56
Leah
Now okay. So that's the lead, right?

00;06;30;56 - 00;06;47;33
Rachel
Yeah. So it's everyone's anyone's game really at this point. And this is one of those this is kind of fun about these sort of challenges is that you see people build up their stack and then they fall, and then someone else is in the lead and then someone else builds up. So it's kind of like a revolving door of who is leading the challenge.

00;06;47;33 - 00;06;49;31
Rachel
So that's always a little exciting.

00;06;49;31 - 00;06;59;14
Rachel
We see a lot of people drop. We see Myles drop on his absolute 12th block, yet the last one I need to set to take away the oh I couldn't get it.

00;06;59;14 - 00;07;01;27
Rachel
So he looked really upset about that.

00;07;01;32 - 00;07;05;14
Leah
And Zara wins. Yeah for Zara.

00;07;05;19 - 00;07;10;04
Rachel
I don't think she dropped at all. She finally hurt as J. Upset. Finally. Yeah.

00;07;10;04 - 00;07;11;46
Leah
Yeah, right. I honestly.

00;07;11;51 - 00;07;17;34
Matt
I think that was an odd thing to say. Well yeah somebody is winning them all. And then you win one fight.

00;07;17;35 - 00;07;26;50
Leah
Right right right. Well maybe but she did a great job. Like she's slow and steady. And congratulations to Zara. That was really incredible. And it.

00;07;26;54 - 00;07;30;20
Matt
Was great at the end even as they were leaving the stack was still standing.

00;07;30;25 - 00;07;34;27
Leah
Right in the background and she was doing a little dance. Yeah, right.

00;07;34;32 - 00;07;35;13
Rachel
She seemed very.

00;07;35;13 - 00;07;38;30
Leah
Proud. Yeah. For sure. Yeah, it was great.

00;07;38;35 - 00;07;39;42
Rachel
I don't think we.

00;07;39;45 - 00;07;46;11
Leah
Could do that. Yeah. No. Yeah. It was fun to see her so happy. Yeah, right. She's a very serious player, so that was nice.

00;07;46;11 - 00;08;03;20
Rachel
So let me get back to camp. And Myles and Zara are still gunning for, AJ and they're really thinking ahead. They say we're going to tell Kate to vote for Kaitlyn. And then on the next vote at the Final Four, we're going to say, hey, Kaitlyn, remember when Kate voted for you? We've got to get her out.

00;08;03;20 - 00;08;11;17
Rachel
So they're thinking, you know, multiple steps ahead of how to get people mad at each other. So you have to appreciate the good gameplay.

00;08;11;22 - 00;08;20;21
Leah
I do, but Zara made a good point. She said. If we fail this, it's not going to be good, right? So they have to make sure they do not fail at this vote.

00;08;20;21 - 00;08;27;29
Rachel
Yeah, so they're planning to do two votes on, Kate, two votes on AJ and then one vote somewhere else.

00;08;27;29 - 00;08;29;00
Matt
On Kaitlyn, I think.

00;08;29;05 - 00;08;34;12
Rachel
On Kaitlyn. And then they're going to revote and then it's going to be two. So they've got a.

00;08;34;12 - 00;08;35;37
Leah
Lot of right.

00;08;35;47 - 00;08;40;42
Matt
Then there's only the two of them who can vote. And then they can both vote off whoever they want to vote.

00;08;40;42 - 00;08;46;53
Rachel
AJ dizzying to think about all these different strategies that everyone has going on with only five votes.

00;08;46;59 - 00;08;53;56
Leah
I don't know how they do this. They're so tired. And now, you know, I haven't had anything to eat. But here, they're very good.

00;08;54;01 - 00;08;54;44
Rachel
They're good.

00;08;54;44 - 00;09;01;16
Matt
But it's interesting that they could, that Myles comes up with a 2 to 1 vote. And then AJ comes up with two one.

00;09;01;18 - 00;09;04;15
Leah
Yes. Well that's why they're friends.

00;09;04;20 - 00;09;05;33
Rachel
Yeah. They think alike.

00;09;05;35 - 00;09;06;15
Leah
Really.

00;09;06;20 - 00;09;21;29
Rachel
Well Kaitlyn had a great plan to set a rat trap. So he thinks that he's pretty worried about Myles idol. So I guess Kaitlyn knows about the idol. It's hard to keep track of who knows about the idol and who doesn't, but I guess Kaitlyn knows.

00;09;21;29 - 00;09;23;52
Rachel
He thinks that's going to come down to Myles versus Kate.

00;09;23;52 - 00;09;30;44
Rachel
So he's like, if Myles plays his idol, then K goes home. If Myles plays his idol for Kate trying to send Kaitlyn home. Yeah. And Myles goes home.

00;09;30;44 - 00;09;31;02
Leah
So

00;09;31;02 - 00;09;35;13
Leah
yeah he's thinking. He was thinking I like Kaitlyn's plan. I thought it was a good plan.

00;09;35;17 - 00;09;50;43
Rachel
Yeah. And then AJ says you know we're gonna have two votes on Myles. Gonna have two votes on Kate. Then we're going to revote on Kate. And it's just a lot of a lot of re votes allotted two on two splits. But it's interesting that AJ is gunning for Kate who he tried so hard to save last night.

00;09;50;54 - 00;09;54;43
Leah
Well I think he's a postgraduate graduate. Must be loyal to them.

00;09;54;43 - 00;09;55;53
Matt
Sticking to the four.

00;09;55;56 - 00;10;02;51
Leah
Yeah, yeah. So I think them working together they said since the beginning right. So yeah.

00;10;02;51 - 00;10;05;48
Matt
He spent every day with two days with Sara.

00;10;05;53 - 00;10;06;46
Leah
Yeah. Yeah.

00;10;06;50 - 00;10;11;01
Rachel
Do they really known each other. Yeah. Yeah. Like a month and a half together. That's crazy.

00;10;11;02 - 00;10;11;58
Matt
Gosh.

00;10;12;03 - 00;10;14;16
Rachel
No breaks to go to work and come back.

00;10;14;19 - 00;10;15;00
Leah
Okay. Go to.

00;10;15;01 - 00;10;15;55
Matt
Sleep. You can't.

00;10;16;06 - 00;10;17;11
Rachel
Drive all the time and drive.

00;10;17;11 - 00;10;18;44
Matt
In your car and listen to a podcast.

00;10;18;49 - 00;10;25;31
Rachel
Well, it is nice to see that AJ has sort of finally left. Kate's a spell. You seem to really be,

00;10;25;31 - 00;10;35;00
Rachel
you know, siding with her quite a bit on a lot of these votes. But it seems like for whatever reason, he has flipped a switch and he's no longer, trying to save Kate. He's actually looking to get her out.

00;10;35;00 - 00;10;50;33
Rachel
then we see Zara say that she is, you know, obviously she's thinking about AJ, but she also doesn't want Kate to make it to the final three because as we know, Kate and Zara are both good at endurance. Right? And Zara needs to set herself up to win for that situation.

00;10;50;38 - 00;11;00;19
Leah
And so you see Kate and Zara talking, right? Yeah. And Kate tells Zara that Miles told her to vote for Kaitlyn and Zara seems quite surprised.

00;11;00;19 - 00;11;08;11
Rachel
Yeah, because Kate is following Myles and not AJ, which is not what you would have expected from Kate. So this really flips things around for Zara.

00;11;08;23 - 00;11;11;41
Matt
Well, Myles also did give her kind of an ultimatum. You have no choice.

00;11;11;41 - 00;11;14;39
Leah
Yeah he's not very nice and for sure you know.

00;11;14;44 - 00;11;18;42
Rachel
That does seem to be his go to strategy to say well you've got to do my way. You have no choice.

00;11;18;49 - 00;11;20;54
Leah
Well, I think it's funny that Zara became.

00;11;20;55 - 00;11;22;12
Matt
Really vote for whoever she wants.

00;11;22;12 - 00;11;33;56
Leah
Yeah, but Zara ends up being the swing vote. It looks like. Right. If Kate's going to go with Myles, then it looks like she Zara will figure out.

00;11;34;01 - 00;11;35;14
Rachel
But yeah. So deciding.

00;11;35;14 - 00;11;36;36
Leah
Oh sorry. Go ahead.

00;11;36;41 - 00;11;53;22
Rachel
Susanna has figured out that all four players on the beach are voting for each other, so Kate's voting for Caitlin. Myles is voting for AJ, Kaitlyn's voting for Miles and is voting for Kate. So there's four people eligible to receive votes and they all have one accounted for. And Zara gets to be the deciding.

00;11;53;22 - 00;11;55;07
Leah
Vote, right? I know right?

00;11;55;12 - 00;11;59;15
Matt
A huge move for her that all just kind of like fell in line.

00;11;59;20 - 00;12;05;04
Leah
Well I think the big thing also is that Kate is finally looking for an idol.

00;12;05;04 - 00;12;06;21
Rachel
Next time.

00;12;06;25 - 00;12;09;22
Leah
But Myles is filing her and, you know.

00;12;09;29 - 00;12;10;48
Matt
Half heartedly it seems like.

00;12;10;48 - 00;12;14;10
Leah
Yeah, but still we still. Oh, are you looking for an idol? Yeah. Yeah,

00;12;14;10 - 00;12;17;28
Rachel
It is nice to see Kate finally taking our advice and writing.

00;12;17;28 - 00;12;18;26
Leah
For the night.

00;12;18;31 - 00;12;21;47
Matt
We're 48 hours and the end of the game. You gonna look for an idol now, right?

00;12;21;56 - 00;12;22;23
Leah
Right.

00;12;22;25 - 00;12;23;36
Rachel
Well, better late than never,

00;12;23;36 - 00;12;39;29
Rachel
Well, it is interesting to kind of think about Zara's plan here, so I'm thinking, well, she knows that she needs a big move because she played a really good game pre merge directly after the merge. I think she did a really nice job, but lately she hasn't really been doing quite as much.

00;12;39;29 - 00;12;49;30
Rachel
So if she were to get out AJ yeah that's huge for her resume. But what if she ends up sitting next to Max? That's really Miles's move. More so than Zara's move, right?

00;12;49;30 - 00;12;53;33
Matt
Right. And she could end up sitting next to Kate and she doesn't want to do that.

00;12;53;38 - 00;13;01;07
Rachel
Well, yeah. So Kate's a big competition, but it's the easy vote. It doesn't have a huge mark on her resume.

00;13;01;12 - 00;13;04;57
Leah
Yes, but the brains are thinking, right. Yeah, yeah.

00;13;05;02 - 00;13;10;53
Rachel
But I'm thinking if I were Zara, I think the best move is to target Myles at this point because

00;13;10;53 - 00;13;22;14
Rachel
AJ is not her original move Myles you know Kaitlyn's already voting for him, but it doesn't seem like anyone else thinks he's going home. And he really wouldn't suspect it at this point. So I think that would have been a big move.

00;13;22;24 - 00;13;23;26
Leah
But yeah, the idol.

00;13;23;40 - 00;13;32;00
Rachel
He does have the idol, so she's got a lot of choices, but it's hard to pick out like an exact good choice for Zara at this point in the game.

00;13;32;05 - 00;13;40;22
Matt
Right? I don't feel like we got that from Kate. From Zara that she should vote for Myles she didn't even, like, considered. It didn't seem like.

00;13;40;22 - 00;13;41;31
Leah
No.

00;13;41;35 - 00;13;47;19
Matt
And we don't know that she knows he has an idol. So it seems odd that that part was missing.

00;13;47;24 - 00;13;51;43
Leah
Well, I thought it was interesting because then you see Myles and AJ sitting on the beach

00;13;51;43 - 00;13;56;40
Leah
AJ says I don't trust you for a moment to Myles.

00;13;56;45 - 00;14;18;57
Rachel
So this is kind of sad. It's like their final goodbye almost their final chat on the beach. And Myles is tearing up and yes National. And it was it was kind of bittersweet to think about all the times that those two have sat on the beach together scheming away. And now there's like this underlying current where it's like, well, you can't tell me your plan, but I hope you don't vote for me, right?

00;14;19;00 - 00;14;30;23
Rachel
Oh, it is, and it's I don't know, I think it's every, duo seems to get to this point in the game, but it's always I mean, it's just interesting to see. It's kind of emotional to watch.

00;14;30;27 - 00;14;38;23
Leah
Yeah. Right. Well, I think also AJ said, Kaitlyn will take me to the end. No one else will. So that's interesting.

00;14;38;23 - 00;14;44;52
Leah
Yeah, he he thinks Kaitlyn is the only one who's going to take him to the end. And I think he must believe that he'll beat Kaitlyn.

00;14;44;57 - 00;14;45;52
Rachel
No, I think he can.

00;14;45;52 - 00;14;47;11
Leah
Yeah, I can.

00;14;47;11 - 00;14;54;27
Matt
Yeah, but that's that's a good point because he's probably right. Everyone else knows he's a good player. So why would you take him?

00;14;54;32 - 00;14;55;01
Leah
Yeah.

00;14;55;06 - 00;14;59;16
Matt
Right. Don't you think everybody is going to take Kaitlyn?

00;14;59;21 - 00;15;01;40
Rachel
Yeah, I guess it's hard to say.

00;15;01;45 - 00;15;03;58
Leah
But there's more surprises at tribal.

00;15;03;58 - 00;15;05;48
Leah
What about the jury? Oh, I just.

00;15;05;48 - 00;15;11;55
Rachel
We saw that Morgan has left the game. She's opted not to sit on the jury, but actually to go home instead.

00;15;11;55 - 00;15;19;10
Leah
I mean, she took someone's place. She did not play this game, and now she leaves. Yeah, I think that's a really bad.

00;15;19;16 - 00;15;20;15
Matt
So disappointing.

00;15;20;15 - 00;15;20;44
Leah
Yeah.

00;15;20;49 - 00;15;34;36
Rachel
Yeah. I was thinking about, Do you guys remember Noonan from the beginning of the season? She loved. Yeah, the game of survivor. So much. It's palpable on the screen. And I was just thinking, you know, she would love to sit on the jury. She would I sure. You know, it's an honor.

00;15;34;36 - 00;15;39;17
Matt
And I would have been so excited to be there and hearing their stories, seeing what's happening. Yeah.

00;15;39;22 - 00;16;01;16
Rachel
Yeah, she was a good player on the jury. Yeah. Well, it's, you know, a huge honor to be on the jury because you get to stay in the final, sole survivor of your season. You get to decide who wins the game. And it's such a huge part of the game. It's the jury. And to leave, it's like at that point, you may as well just quit the game because you already are not seeing it through to the end.

00;16;01;20 - 00;16;03;48
Rachel
And I was yeah, it's very disappointing to see this.

00;16;03;59 - 00;16;05;40
Leah
It's very upsetting actually.

00;16;05;45 - 00;16;11;24
Rachel
You know, a morgan's an Olympian. So we know that she's been dedicated to things in the past and you just don't,

00;16;11;24 - 00;16;16;38
Rachel
you know, expect someone as an Olympian to be, you know, quitting a game in the middle of it. Really.

00;16;16;43 - 00;16;17;53
Leah
And she doesn't seem.

00;16;17;53 - 00;16;24;58
Matt
That upset that she was leaving. Right? It's not like, you know, I've worked so hard for this, and this is my dream, and now I'm going to get voted off.

00;16;24;59 - 00;16;31;52
Leah
And maybe someone told her, hey, why don't you go on survivor? And she just did it, but really doesn't care about it. I mean, she just didn't seem to care.

00;16;31;52 - 00;16;38;07
Matt
I have read that in American Survivor they do go after certain people. They approach people.

00;16;38;12 - 00;16;38;42
Leah
Who don't even.

00;16;38;42 - 00;16;40;43
Matt
Apply and say, hey, you would be good on.

00;16;40;43 - 00;16;42;51
Leah
Survivor. Oh, really? Yeah.

00;16;42;56 - 00;16;48;11
Rachel
So maybe she didn't. She may have never even watch the game. Maybe she doesn't even know how important the jury is.

00;16;48;25 - 00;16;52;48
Leah
Well, I'm sorry, you just made a good point about Noonan. I wish she would have made it farther.

00;16;52;48 - 00;17;10;09
Rachel
I know she was fine. You know, she was terrified. The game was passionate about it. Who understands the role of the jury, the responsibility. And, you know, this is altering the game to not have your vote at the end, playing, you know, giving a say into how the game ends. It alters the game.

00;17;10;13 - 00;17;14;12
Leah
Right. And Kate probably was pretty disappointed to not see her.

00;17;14;12 - 00;17;14;40
Rachel
Yeah.

00;17;14;40 - 00;17;17;11
Matt
Yeah. Especially if she was hoping for a vote from her.

00;17;17;11 - 00;17;17;59
Leah
Yeah. So yeah.

00;17;17;59 - 00;17;19;48
Leah
So that was crazy.

00;17;19;53 - 00;17;23;01
Rachel
Yeah. So very disappointing. Interesting that,

00;17;23;01 - 00;17;31;52
Rachel
think it was Ben at the beginning of the season, quit kind of unexpectedly from the brains, from tribe and, Morgan from the brawn tribe. Right. So it's.

00;17;31;52 - 00;17;32;59
Matt
Season.

00;17;33;04 - 00;17;42;39
Rachel
And it's not looking good for brains versus brawn. It looks like the bronze are quitting. They're not making it as far in the game. It's right. Looking like the brains are victorious overall.

00;17;42;41 - 00;17;50;40
Matt
And I wonder if the four brains. I wonder what the reaction was when they heard that Morgan wasn't there. Probably like good.

00;17;50;45 - 00;17;53;26
Leah
Yeah, because Morgan didn't like any of them. Right.

00;17;53;31 - 00;18;08;52
Rachel
Yeah. I wonder if it even changed Zara's. I mean, I don't think it did, but I wonder if it made Zara reconsider her vote, knowing that if she were to sit next to Kate, she would not have that guaranteed vote for Morgan.

00;18;08;57 - 00;18;11;11
Leah
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

00;18;11;16 - 00;18;16;05
Rachel
Well, probably not, because, the tribal they're discussing,

00;18;16;05 - 00;18;21;52
Rachel
you know, when to make a big move is it time to turn on the core four? It's going to be so awkward for.

00;18;21;53 - 00;18;22;57
Matt
Bell to get awkward.

00;18;22;57 - 00;18;28;02
Rachel
And when is it time to make your last big move, or, you know, one of your last big moves?

00;18;28;11 - 00;18;50;32
Leah
Well, I like it that they showed us everyone but Sara. Their votes. So AJ voted for Kate, Kaitlyn voted for Myles. So that was weird because AJ was supposed to vote for Myles mapper, but I guess he just couldn't do it. Kate voted for Kaitlyn as Myles told her to do and Myles voted for AJ. So now all of them have a vote so we don't know if she's great, who Zara's going to pick.

00;18;50;32 - 00;18;52;40
Leah
And that was very, very interesting.

00;18;52;45 - 00;19;00;12
Matt
So it worked out perfectly for the producers. Yes, let's do it this way. I was like, yes, we knew what was going to happen up until the last vote.

00;19;00;17 - 00;19;01;56
Leah
Yeah, that was really good.

00;19;02;01 - 00;19;05;13
Rachel
But before they could read the votes, we had another twist.

00;19;05;13 - 00;19;10;01
Rachel
Number four Myles plays idol number four for himself.

00;19;10;05 - 00;19;11;59
Matt
And the jury is just like,

00;19;12;04 - 00;19;14;10
Leah
Yeah. Thank you. Nothing like it was.

00;19;14;19 - 00;19;22;48
Rachel
Yeah. Four idols. That's wild. And, you know, I mean Myles would be the one to ask, but there's got to be close to a record to play for.

00;19;22;48 - 00;19;26;03
Leah
I was right, I went Indian. Oh yeah. That was awesome.

00;19;26;03 - 00;19;28;38
Matt
That would have been funny if he would have said that. I believe this is a record.

00;19;28;53 - 00;19;35;58
Leah
If anybody knows what the record is for how many idols a player? Yeah, yeah. Please let us know. Yeah.

00;19;36;03 - 00;19;46;37
Rachel
All right. Yeah. So he played three correctly so far. This last one was incorrect. But that's okay. It's the last chance to play it. May as well and save himself just to be sure.

00;19;46;39 - 00;19;50;22
Matt
Right. Well that would have been pretty bad to play it for Kate. And then he goes home, right?

00;19;50;22 - 00;19;50;47
Leah
Yeah.

00;19;50;47 - 00;19;57;38
Rachel
So we get down to it. And the very first vote out of the urn is for Myles. Does not count. Then the jury was shocked.

00;19;57;42 - 00;19;59;04
Leah
Yeah. They were.

00;19;59;04 - 00;20;09;01
Rachel
And then as we knew it was going to happen everyone got a vote. And there's one more vote. And at this point I'm thinking oh it's got to be AJ you know. Oh this is so sad. Here it goes H.

00;20;09;03 - 00;20;10;04
Leah
Yes I'm thinking.

00;20;10;04 - 00;20;12;15
Matt
It's going to be Myles and there's going to be a revote.

00;20;12;21 - 00;20;15;40
Leah
Oh I doubt it's going to be AJ I was so scared because I don't want AJ that.

00;20;15;55 - 00;20;21;44
Matt
People couldn't vote. So Myles would have been able to vote. Yeah Zoro would have been able to vote.

00;20;22;33 - 00;20;23;52
Rachel
That would've been interesting to see.

00;20;23;52 - 00;20;24;53
Leah
The exciting to see.

00;20;24;53 - 00;20;26;10
Rachel
Oh, that would've been good, right?

00;20;26;10 - 00;20;26;19
Leah
Yeah.

00;20;26;19 - 00;20;29;11
Matt
And then if they couldn't agree on it.

00;20;29;16 - 00;20;29;41
Leah
Yeah.

00;20;29;41 - 00;20;35;41
Rachel
Well, it came down to Kate, I was shocked. I really was not expecting Kate to go home tonight.

00;20;35;54 - 00;20;55;21
Leah
I know that, Zara has not wanted Kate the game because for it since the beginning, it seems like they do it since they were together. But, I was surprised. But did you see the big surprise from The Graduate? They were just like, whoa, AJ, I mean, it looked like none of them could believe that Kate was going home.

00;20;55;21 - 00;20;57;25
Leah
So they were very, very surprised.

00;20;57;27 - 00;21;02;42
Matt
AJ was quite surprised to get a vote. Yeah. He asked Myles, would you vote for.

00;21;02;47 - 00;21;03;37
Leah
Yeah, yeah.

00;21;03;38 - 00;21;05;28
Matt
File says you.

00;21;05;33 - 00;21;31;23
Leah
Me yeah. So as I predicted, if this fails, there's going to be a lot of trouble. So and I think that's what's going to happen. But the interesting thing is the postgraduates and the brains are still here. So now the no bronze, they're all gone. So, just like Haley and King George. Two brains. Yeah. They're, you know, who knows who these four will end up being the two, but they're going to be brains.

00;21;31;23 - 00;21;32;47
Leah
So. Yeah.

00;21;32;55 - 00;21;36;23
Matt
Interesting. I think it looks in the previews. It looks awkward for me.

00;21;36;23 - 00;21;37;08
Leah
It does.

00;21;37;13 - 00;21;39;25
Rachel
Oh yeah. He's in a bad spot.

00;21;39;30 - 00;21;51;06
Leah
But it's always funny going back to the beginning. You look at the players who like the Bryan have to win. I mean there's no way the brains are going to win. But here the muscles, right?

00;21;51;11 - 00;21;53;13
Matt
Everybody's got a great body right.

00;21;53;18 - 00;22;00;12
Rachel
Well thinking back to our initial predictions. So Matt you chose Myles. So it's looking like he's doing pretty well.

00;22;00;12 - 00;22;01;06
Leah
Yeah.

00;22;01;11 - 00;22;02;32
Matt
He's final four.

00;22;02;37 - 00;22;03;08
Leah
Yeah.

00;22;03;20 - 00;22;05;08
Matt
Hopefully further than that Morgan.

00;22;05;08 - 00;22;18;16
Rachel
Yeah you chose Morgan. But I just point out yeah yeah. So that wasn't what you expected now. And I chose Karen. Of course. The only one of the graduates to be sitting on the jury and not in the Final Four.

00;22;18;20 - 00;22;19;32
Matt
She's in the jury.

00;22;19;37 - 00;22;20;11
Leah
Yeah, she's.

00;22;20;11 - 00;22;20;42
Rachel
In the jury.

00;22;20;42 - 00;22;41;44
Leah
But she was a very good player. She should be right there. Actually, when I think about it, I know Zara has done quite well, but I think Karen was more active in her gameplay. She was more like Myles in AJ. I think that's right. So I, I though Zara deserves to be where she is. I think it would be or AJ or Myles or Kaitlyn.

00;22;41;58 - 00;22;50;20
Leah
I think it would be nice if Karen was up there also. I don't know who who she would replace. I'm just saying I think she should be up there because she was a good player.

00;22;50;20 - 00;22;50;58
Leah
Yeah.

00;22;50;58 - 00;22;58;19
Rachel
Well, it's been an interesting season and it's not over yet. I cannot wait for Sunday to see what's going to happen.

00;22;58;19 - 00;22;58;51
Leah
Oh, boy.

00;22;58;51 - 00;22;59;21
Rachel
Hey, Jim.

00;22;59;33 - 00;23;01;13
Leah
I I'm sorry.

00;23;01;17 - 00;23;17;05
Rachel
I think I'll go ahead. You know, if AJ would have gone home tonight, I think after the game they could have repaired things and said, you know, oh it's part of the game. Not a big deal. But now that he didn't go home this is really going to blow up. They're going to be are you are they going to be able to recover?

00;23;17;05 - 00;23;20;37
Rachel
I don't think AJ is going to see it as just game play anymore.

00;23;20;48 - 00;23;28;23
Matt
Right. And hopefully they come back at night. I mean, hopefully they show us more of what happens as soon as they get back to camp instead of when the sun comes up.

00;23;28;23 - 00;23;30;46
Leah
I yeah, I think they will. I hope they, I think they will.

00;23;30;50 - 00;23;34;06
Matt
But anyway, I hope you guys continue to help me support Myles.

00;23;34;06 - 00;23;34;42
Leah
Sorry,

00;23;34;42 - 00;23;37;32
Leah
I'm not supporting Myles. Sorry. Oh, jeez.

00;23;37;32 - 00;23;50;47
Rachel
I think I would say Miles deserves to win out of all five of these. I think I'm rooting for Myles to win at this point or at all for players left because he I mean he played for idols. He has a crazy story.

00;23;50;47 - 00;23;51;30
Leah
What you guys have.

00;23;51;32 - 00;23;59;02
Rachel
Really doing very well. And I think he deserves the title of Sole Survivor. If he can get himself to the final two, which is going to be tough.

00;23;59;04 - 00;24;02;27
Leah
But what about AJ? I guess AJ didn't play as much as Myles.

00;24;02;29 - 00;24;05;29
Matt
What about Kaitlyn winning all the immunity. Yeah you know.

00;24;05;34 - 00;24;06;41
Leah
And Zara still.

00;24;06;46 - 00;24;20;15
Rachel
Saying yeah. The great thing about this Final Four is that everyone has a chance of winning and everyone deserves their spot here. We've seen a lot of seasons where someone's dragged along and it's not that fun, but I think this is a great final four.

00;24;20;15 - 00;24;22;33
Leah
Yes, I agree is a separate car.

00;24;22;37 - 00;24;25;31
Matt
I can't wait till Sunday to see what happens.

00;24;25;35 - 00;24;46;20
Rachel
Yeah. So let us know what you think about this Final Four. Do you feel that everyone deserves to be there? And who do you think will be the sole survivor out of the postgraduates? Let us know on Instagram at survivor, TikTok at survivor and send us an email at eight. Australian Survivor at gmail.com. Thanks and we'll see you next week.

00;24;46;20 - 00;24;46;50
Leah
Bye bye.

00;24;46;50 - 00;24;47;23
Matt
Bye.
