[00:00:28] Split The Vote! Alright, welcome back to another episode of Split The Vote. I am super excited, we are a podcast that does not care at all whatsoever about coconut etiquette I am Tim, a Gen Z Survivor fan And this episode is very special because I am joined by a immunity winning, idol-finding, Survivor 43 mother

[00:00:57] Cause you know it's Mother's Day weekend None other than Carla Cruz-Gadori Carla, how you doing? I'm doing well, thank you for having me, what an honor Thank you for being here I want to start off, how are you liking the season so far? If you're liking it at all, I know it's a little controversial But just checking in, what's the Carla temperature on 48? Listen, I'm a fan of any season

[00:01:24] I think that it's really hard to, I think have played the game and kind of know just like Also like the back end of things and really critique a season Having been a player myself, you know? So I give props to anyone who's ever played the game And it's, it's, I like it I mean I don't know, like I like every season I have no judgment on people and the way they play Period, you know? I don't know, I don't know the politics of what's happening on the island

[00:01:52] I only see what's edited and put out there So if we're critiquing anyone, it's the producers That's who we're going to critique And that's fair and that's real Especially like as somebody who's been out there And because you're somebody who's been out there I do have a question Is coconut etiquette real? Did y'all have that on y'all season? I forget which original beach you were on I know there's some beaches with like fruit But um, coconut etiquette Is that something that's real?

[00:02:21] Well, I'd say that like Okay, so on Cocoa Beach We had a surplus of food Like we had so much food that I stopped eating voluntarily Because I was like, especially cassava I was like, I'm done eating this I'd rather starve than continue to eat cassava Um, but I think You know what? I don't blame Mary Because I would have done the same thing Um And I don't I think when we were at the Baca Beach I forget what we were called Gaia at Merge Um

[00:02:50] I don't know if we If there was an etiquette Per se I think we just split food evenly But if I Was Well, when I was at the bottom On my final days And I knew I was gonna go home I mean, I did whatever I could to try to stay Even if it meant like I At least I mean, I didn't eat the food But I was like at this point I'm not just gonna sit around and wait for people to like Vote my ass out I'm gonna do what I can If it means upsetting people If it means making people cry If it means, you know, like

[00:03:19] I gotta scrap Yeah I essentially just like Put my fists up And I was like, let's go And Mary's way of doing that Was eating coconuts So I don't blame her though If you're at the bottom No one's looking at you Do what you gotta do It reminds me of Mikayla It reminds me of people Who are just like I'm just gonna do what I can Get these people mad Because my ass is going home regardless Yeah, and I feel like I would do the same in the same boat as Mary Like, y'all are going on rewards And I'm over here like I'm so hungry I could eat a

[00:03:49] Ellie Del Fiero You know, like I'm feeling You know, that kind of Hungry in the game I wanna play the game I wanna win And I also wanna You know Find an opportunity to Make it further In the game And I'm not sure if you've seen that trend Before Yeah, yeah, yeah But also like Who Here's a question Who is creating this etiquette? Right? Like, it's kind of like Who creates laws Or who creates rules And for whose advantage

[00:04:18] And if there is an etiquette Like Why is it certain people That are talking about this etiquette? Yeah I'm always like What are the semantics Around like How we should behave? I don't think anyone should behave Anyway When you're starved on an island And kind of like Forced to betray people Or at least, you know The whole premise of the game Is like Dehumanize people For entertainment Do what you gotta do You have to burn people's clothes And steal their shit Why not? Um There are no rules On an island, you know

[00:04:47] When you're playing for a million dollars Yeah That's a fair point Again, it's a game It's a production It's a You know Creative environment And I think that's an important reminder For people to be able to hear And understand Because I think sometimes People Look at it only from a Viewing perspective Of Their couch Or whatever It is that they're watching it And they're not thinking Critically about it And I think especially In

[00:05:16] Our society nowadays It's so important to Keep bringing Critical thinking Back to the forefront Like let's Let's use our brains Here, folks Um In terms of What we Did see In the game Carla You know, last night I was sick Right? Like I Had A dry nose Like sinuses Irritated And I'm not Somebody that's normally Someone who gets sick

[00:05:45] I feel like I was sick Because Eva Pulled the purple rock And got a chance to get Yet another advantage Um Advantage Happened to be An advantage that you're Familiar with The Knowledge is power Advantage That Was On your season That you Um Made a move to Shut down The possibility for this Like advantage Changing Your game So I guess around that Like What did you think about Eva

[00:06:13] Getting this chance to go on the journey And Potentially Bring knowledge's power back into the game? Good question I think that Well, a lot of things are by luck Right? So Um I think as a viewer Um I was like It's kind of Okay It's I think a good metaphor is like When the rich get richer Right? And it's just kind of like Again And this girl And more advantages And like At her disposal Um

[00:06:43] And I think knowledge is power It's just failed so many times And I'm like Y'all still trying to bring it back? Like You know Like why? Um So I had I had Different reactions for You know Different components of it Um I'm glad it Didn't come I mean I'm glad it didn't come Like it's just We've never seen it work successfully Have we? I don't I think only in the first In 41 When

[00:07:13] No Actually no Yeah Yeah It didn't work out Yeah Because yes Yeah It was never successful I think that the advantages Kind of count It's super broken If you look at it from like A strategy standpoint But like It's so camp to me Just because it's like Okay It's never worked And here it is again We're still trying Yeah Being given to the person that Would have to steal it from themselves At this point So it's pretty funny I know if you would be like

[00:07:42] Carla give me your shot in the dark Like I don't even know if they're transferable At that point Yeah And I think the hard part Um That viewers Um I'd say casual viewers Or just viewers in general Anyone who hasn't been out there People don't understand the level of paranoia That comes with Having multiple advantages in a game You don't know what's out there It's not like you have a menu Of possible advantages That could be out there or not You are assuming the worst So like When um We voted Gio's

[00:08:12] Knowledge is power out That left And then when I think James found it in the well again Right Like And then it's just kind of like You don't know when things are gone for good So let's say it's fully washed And You as a viewer know that it's fully washed But us as players We don't know that advantages are Not back in the game But you have the assumption that they are So You're operating in a Very cautious mindset Which Oftentimes I think limits Risky gameplay

[00:08:41] Because when you throw so many Random advantages into the Into the game It prevents you It limits you from kind of Playing wild Uh Very risky And entertaining games Um And so I think that like I'm kind of losing my train of thought here But when I When you add something like this in And Granted No one else really has advantages in the game So it doesn't really make sense Um at this point so But if it was someone else I'd I'd be clapping I'd be like yes

[00:09:10] Finally maybe we could make a move And like Well I mean Talk about making moves And trying to make moves Uh very Uh I don't want Here's the part with making moves I don't want to say it's disappointing Because I don't know the game mechanics That were out there But as a viewer You see it as disappointing If that makes sense Yeah But anyway Going back to advantages It's a mess You just don't know what's out there ever And so you don't know how to operate And so you're just constantly paranoid about Things that are imaginary When they might not be real But only the viewers know that Us as players

[00:09:40] We have no idea If there's an idol still out there Or not Um Yeah It's a It's all my dreams Yeah That's a good point That I feel like even I didn't really Consider it at the forefront of my mind That like Players don't know All the advantages that's out there They don't know if somebody has a Vula idol Still in the game They don't know You know If people Unless they told them Like if people play shots in the dark Yeah Even the very You know

[00:10:10] Floor level of Something that we all know That someone has At least one of in the game It's like Unless you're communicating You don't even know that Those have been played yet At this point So it does create that Aura of Paranoia And That aura of like Okay I'm gonna be a little more reserved Because again At the end of the day As a player You're playing for A million dollars That's life changing Amount of money And Yeah You wanna

[00:10:39] Get to that point So you might have to Play in a way that We're seeing this season That might not be To some people The most Quote unquote Entertaining Around that And I'd say With advantages too I think that's why You always see I mean I don't wanna say always But at least in my case You'll see random people Throw the most random votes To like Someone who was never In contention To like be voted out And you're like Why did this person vote I think one time I voted Owen

[00:11:09] And people were like Why did she vote Owen Early in the merge It's because I was thinking Strategically That if this split vote You know If people came out With different advantages Maybe one of them You know like Yeah But there's no explanation Of it in the episode So some people are like Why did she vote this way? And it's like you don't know The little mechanics That go around When thinking about like The possibilities of Maybe my alliance Isn't thinking about A knowledge is power Or a shot in the dark Or an idol Or XYZ So let me just throw a stray

[00:11:39] That won't mess up The majority vote But in the event That shit does go down At least you have a stray That can get someone else out And then people just judge Right? Like why did they vote? Why did they vote for this person? It's like you You don't know Listen Call me David Because I was standing with you The whole time I was saying Division I was like yeah Because you know If this goes wrong Or that happens So it definitely is something That a lot of people Don't get the chance

[00:12:08] To really think about And speaking of Being In a place where You might not see everything I'm really thinking a lot about Joe's jury management From what we are seeing Right? I know On the island itself If you get to the very end That's 26 days But People are always like Oh it's not 39 days But 26 days times 24 hours That you're with people That's a lot of time

[00:12:38] For conversations That's a lot of time For bonding And so From what we're seeing Of the conversations That Joe is having To me it seems like I don't think Joe Is doing the best At jury management Right now With his relationship With Mary And other players It seems Yes Yes Yes Yes I'd say jury Jury management Is interesting And I'll say It's interesting In the sense that

[00:13:07] What we see Once again This is edited Right? So There is Sometimes I feel like We as viewers And even as players Who now view the game But aren't out there So like Alum But Let's just speak About viewers We see An edited Version Of a show That While we weren't Out there Filming it Production Production Wants us to feel A certain way And so

[00:13:36] With Joe As a viewer Because I'm a casual Viewer for this season I see the narrative Right? He is kind of like I don't want to say The godfather That sounds so James He is running the game Right? Like he is the biggest Threat to win He has this hero As a casual viewer A hero image A hero edit That you're like Oh my god He's gonna freaking Take it But what we don't See is Right?

[00:14:05] The The The intricacies Yeah So you saw Some people Starting to question His paranoia His I don't know Yeah His jury management Ish So I'd say that We are seeing More Of an edit Of a hero edit Than a Breaking down Like Are people Really gonna Right now Everyone's saying He's running the game But let's say He does get to the end

[00:14:35] Is everyone Going to vote with him Because we have yet To see How people feel about him If that makes sense We see people's Strategic Like ideas Of where he stands In the game And so I'm so curious About how He makes people Feel And I think This episode Is gonna start To I hope Paint more of a picture Of Does this Loyalty Honesty Game Really work Because once

[00:15:05] You start Bulldozing A game I think that Like Especially if you're Being voted out You're like Fuck that shit You know Go for it We're growing I did not like You know Like I knew I was at the end And y'all didn't Want to do anything And then you let This man run it Who knows So And it's also Once again They don't Not everyone Is Not everyone's Feelings are edited So you don't know How everyone feels About everyone At all times And so sometimes When you're left

[00:15:34] At the When you're left With the jury You don't know You don't know How they feel Unless you know You stand up And you kind of Show people I stand with Mary Then you kind of Get a glimpse Of like How people's Reactions are But for the Most part too Though I'm trying to Remember I think there Was like one Moment When I was In the jury Which was Like one day I think I Had a reaction I don't remember Actually psyched No I think I was Speaking to the Jury And they were Like you can't Speak to the Jury

[00:16:03] And never mind I was trying to Say that maybe I did something And they were Like tone it down You don't want To give too much I don't remember Actually Maybe they did Say something Along those lines I think there Was some Kind of like You don't want To show your Cards as a Jury member So kind of Like trying to Be blank face If that makes Sense Yeah Was this like A pause Like from other Jury members Or more so Like a Production Kind of thing Of like Hey Carla More production You think The other players Can care

[00:16:33] They don't care Yeah Yeah Yeah So that's That's super Interesting Because like Right now For example Like you know I'm teaching Digital writing Content creation And so We look at All these Little intricate Things And people Who study Educ And look At confessional Counts Historically Even though This kind of Changed Nowadays But even Simple things Like music Can tell a lot About how We as viewers Are supposed To feel About certain

[00:17:03] Players And that Leads to And this Is something That I wish More fans Would not be So parasocial About but Some players Who are Real people Because of How they're Being a Character on The show Or being Portrayed as A character On the show Receive Either a lot Of praise Or some People might Receive Backlash And again All of that Varies So often On Groups Of people Depending on You know Stay on Twitter

[00:17:33] We have Our mothers And Facebook Lord forbid Because I Will never Step Willingly Into Facebook But Facebook May have Their own Kind of Like Favorite And attack Or Praise Certain People So It's Super Important To Think About How all Of these Factors Go into Something And Because Survivor Is a show I love That's Makes it Even more Important For us As viewers To

[00:18:02] Look into Like you Can still Appreciate Something While still Understanding Something And I Think some People think That because You understand Something you Can't appreciate It when it Should actually Be the other Way around And I Think and At the end Of the Day I hate To say This but It doesn't Matter What these Different Micro Communities Honestly Think Right I think Ultimately The People who Benefit

[00:18:32] From the Edit Are honestly Never the Players It's CBS and Paramount If you Think about Right The whole Capitalist Aspect Of this Right They're Just making Money off Our likeness And whether Or not you Get an Emotional Connection From this Player Or this Player And then you Have fans Like fighting Wars On reddit On twitter On facebook It's great For them Ultimately It might not Be great For the Players And the way That they're Reading about Themselves On the Internet But it's Good for Viewership

[00:19:02] I don't know It's all Performance I mean It is No This is a Space We're Big Thank Hey Sandra We Have We We We Have What? Come I'll show you The Bewegungskurse The AOK Plus Cost Free For AOK Plus Versicherte Find Your

[00:19:31] Plus For That And start With Our Self-Check Online On AOK De Aus Liebe Zur Gesundheit AOK Plus But I guess To Like Get Back To The Episode No Sorry At All We're Like Say How How It Is I'm Thinking About This Question I have For You Carla Would You Rather Have A Got Fun Betrayal Son Or Unfogredible

[00:20:01] Daughter OK Repeat The First One So At The Amenity Challenge You Know They're Spelling With The Blocks It's Like You Either Have Got Fun Betrayal Son Or Unfogredible Daughter Like The Two Options That You Unfogredible Yes Yes Daughter Yes Yes

[00:20:31] Yes Yes Yes Yes So S Is Yeah So S Is Because You Know That Camilla Ends Up Winning Immunity

[00:21:06] Shout You're Playing For So So Much More Than Yourself And This Was Like A Chance For Her To Prove To So Many People That Might Have Doubted Her That She Can Do This And That She Did Do It So I Just Really Love Seeing Her Win And I Wonder That Feeling Of Winning Immunity You know You're Someone Who Had That Immunity Win Multiple Mind You

[00:21:37] Basically How Did You Feel About Camilla Win Immunity And Yeah Yeah I Think As Granted Okay So I Was At A Watch Party I Was Actually With Mary Mary Had A Little Watch Party In Even Though

[00:22:07] We Know How Stack It Doesn't Matter At This Point So Joe Cannot Win And So It Is Also Right With Editing It's Such A

[00:22:37] Especially When You're Starving And You're In Those Elements And You're Like I'm Going Against Right Like These Jocks And These Strong People I Can Imagine For Her Winning It Was Like It's It's Obviously More Than That It's Obviously More Than Proving Your Doubters Back Home In Like Real Life Proving Them Wrong But It's Really Just A Testament To Yourself That You Can Do It Despite Being Hungry Despite Not Sleeping Well Despite Having To Like Live In

[00:23:07] These Elements It Is Such A Good Ego Boost And Confidence Boost That You Need To Sustain Yourself In The Game Because If You're Still Losing And Not Winning Anything I Can't Imagine That You're Just How Much Do I Have Left Which Can Be Tough You Should Ask Jesse A Little Bit About That That Was A Good One Yeah I'm Thinking

[00:23:36] About Just Bonds In What We See On The Show And This Battle That We Often See Between The Personal And The Game Where As A Person Hey Like I Really Like You And We Really Bond We Really Connect On So Many Different Levels So Deeply In Real Life And Just Like The Connection Is There We See Each Other We Understand Each Other Versus But You're Somebody That I Would Have To Take Out

[00:24:06] Of This Game And If I'm Wanting To Win I I'm Just Thinking About This Conflict This Tension That Pops Up Between The Personal Because We Are People And The Game Because This Is The Reality That We're In Where Only One Of Us Can Win I Will Say Personally Speaking

[00:24:36] I Had That Issue Like Honestly Like If I Look Back At My Game There Only There's Only One Person That I Was Like I Met I Like I I Fuck With You So Hard That It Is Really Hard For Me To Betray You But If I Have To In The Last Minute I Will But More Than Likely I Won't Because You And I Rock The Same Way We Have The Same Values And That Was Like Me And Jesse Because

[00:25:06] It Was We're Just Very Similar People Outside Of Survivor We're Just Like He's Someone That I Probably Would Have Found On On Campus And Been Like Bro You're Doing Really Amazing I Mean He I Know He Does But He's One Person That I Think About Obviously In Hindsight Now Seeing What His Point Of View In The Game It's So Different Now I Could Betray Him Back Then No You

[00:25:36] Can't You Can't There's No Way I Could Have Thought That Way Because My Feelings Were Of Safety It Was Of I Feel Safe With This Person I Feel Like This Is The Only Person I Have Things In Common With There's No Way I Can Betray This Person Now And I Think Of Kyle Kyle's Whole Tension Between Do I Turn On The Strong Alliance Now Or Do I Stay With Them Because I Shared Things I Never Shared With Anyone Now Granted I Did Not Share Things With Five Different People You Know Three Different

[00:26:06] People I Was Not That Person There Was One Person That I Stood By And Shared Not My Deeper Secrets But Things That No One On My Beach Knew It's Tough Because You That Make It A Little Bit Tougher For Me It's Just One Person But That One Person Was Kind Of

[00:26:36] The Kryptonite You Know Like Because I Would Not Have Made A Move Until That Last Minute When I I Don't Know The Metaphor But It Is A Slippery Slope I I'd Say

[00:27:06] But You Can't Think With Your Feelings Ever Out There But You Can Though Because At The Same Time It's The Only Way To Be Safe So I Don't Have Any Critiques On Kyle Because I Was There In The Same Way Or Anyone Else However Now Looking Back I Should Have Done You Know But You Can't You Can Never Say You Know I Played Things Differently Because Now You Are Doing It In A State Of Mind Where You're Fed And You Slept And You Thought About It And You See Other People's Points Of View But I Was Too Blinded By

[00:27:36] My Friendship No That's That's That's Real And That's Fair Like Again Like Under Those Conditions Like Having That Connection That Is Safety Which Is Like So Real Yeah And As We You Know Talk A little Bit More So I Know Always When Someone Is Voted Out You Know They Come Back At Tribal Council With The jury Fit You Know They're They're Rocking Whatever It Is Post

[00:28:05] Or Etc Do They Have Barbers At Ponderosa I Asked This Question On Twitter They I Swear Carla I've Seen A Player Come Back With Like A Fresh Haircut A Fresh Bob And I'm Like They Have To Have Somebody There That's Cutting Hair Unless They're Just Like Going Willy Nilly On Each Other's Hair That's A good Question I'll Give you Some Insider That I

[00:28:46] You I I next morning anyway the next morning you wake up and then on my because I you know I had to go back to back essentially it was like you now shoot for the final four whatever but they were like you have certain amount of time the one thing they did give me was they offered me a free massage and I said yes ma'am so there was there was like a menu of services because then once your free one

[00:29:11] was up then there was like you could purchase and like spend money yourself on other things but I my eyes just narrowed in on the massage on that menu so I bet maybe maybe there are people that cut hair but maybe it could have been that person too and they you know finally had access to like their own beauty supplies or you know whatever um I can give you that like an like I

[00:29:39] don't know how to braid my hair like I don't know how to do my own hair really but I had someone like a handler I asked them if they could braid my hair um to get ready for I think there's like one look where I had the braids and so they did my hair while we were waiting in the tents to then like head out to jury but that was it everyone else just kind of like gets ready on their own but okay yeah yeah

[00:30:05] thank you for let me know entertaining that question of mine because I always wonder like what would it be like you know if I gotta go out there you know cut my own hair or anything like that um as we yeah I'm just thinking about like right like last thoughts about the episode before headed to the torture wars where we give an award to a player I again just speaking on Mary

[00:30:32] I would have did the same thing with throwing out Joe's name Joe from what we saw like scrambling a little bit um and essentially seemed like we might be seeing the quote-unquote downfall of the character of Joe where he throws out Shaheen's name potentially and I feel like Shaheen would definitely moving forward in the season it seems like Shaheen would be more ready to flip the switch on Joe

[00:30:58] because of this little moment that we saw any last thoughts before heading into handing out an award to a player oh um hmm I'd say um I no I I don't I think that the person that I'm choosing the explanation would then support what I'm about to say anyway so yeah I think we can go straight to

[00:31:27] the to the award if you want all right let's go so boom here we are it's the torture awards where every episode we give out an award to a player of our choice for whatever reason it is it could be because you think they played a great strategic game from what we're able to see if you think they're just someone that you are vibing with or like or whatever reason under the sun you could vote for them

[00:31:53] and give them your torture award because they follow proper coconut etiquette so I want to open it up with asking you Carla who would you say is the recipient of your torture award you can feel free to nominate two people first before picking an ultimate winner but you can always just go straightforward choice is yours um I think I'm gonna go straightforward because I think this episode was very straightforward

[00:32:22] um uh I think my my uh torture award winner torch right yes torchy yeah yeah torchy sorry um is Mary because this entire episode she is trying to save her life and she's like listen me as our number so like she threw a name out there then the name made sense um she finished those coconuts she said I'm gonna be

[00:32:50] um I'm gonna be not forgotten I'm gonna leave it lasting impact so hopefully people are kind of like hungry next episode I hope I hope there's like a reference back to coconuts and being like I wish we had some coconuts um so for that for throwing Joe's name out for eating the coconuts um and for just not giving up

[00:33:14] not giving up because sometimes when you are at the bottom and when you know you're going home you can sit down and wait knowing that your fate is sealed or you can start trouble and and try to get people paranoid and try people you know and so for those reasons um I'm awarding Mary with the award because she's she never gave up to the end yeah I agree Mary was actually my pick for me it was between

[00:33:40] Mary and Camilla and I feel like I went with Mary because she's someone who did something that other people were seemingly not willing to do at this moment and she tried different avenues she tried to pitch it to Kyle she tried to go to Camilla you know of course like in this moment she's not aware that they have the ability to flip but they just are maybe thinking for their game that they're

[00:34:06] gonna want to stay one more round under Joe's great great graces but she didn't give up like you said she tried so many different things and when she felt like my time is up she was like y'all gonna feel me though y'all is gonna feel me and she smashed that coconut um so I definitely give it to Mary too so shout out to Mary shout out to Mary yes overall though just to talk a little bit about Mary's game

[00:34:36] from what we saw uh to me she was just like a survivalist like she survived where she was always like in a precarious spot whether it be her having to play her shine in the dark whether it be having to find a connection on a swap tribe where she was the only vulva luckily they won immunity but she found a connection with David and even when it came to merge getting in with David more and

[00:35:03] surviving those rounds that she did survive and being able to kind of sneak into this quote-unquote strong person alliance so I really respected her game and um again from what we're seeing I you know really think she did it to the best that she could yeah it must be difficult to constantly

[00:35:27] have to survive especially since kind of like day one um you know her tribe her starting tribe was just just had really bad luck and just constantly being at the bottom so I don't know what it's like to be you know since the kind of like the beginning to just constantly have to fight and then just do whatever you can survive and not really ever be granted the the autonomy to think so much forward in

[00:35:52] the game when you're really just trying to scrap by so I mean kudos to her it is it must be so taxing to just think about how can I make it one more day instead of like I have a solid four I can make it to the end let me just think about the end you know yeah yeah yeah well Carla um I'm not gonna hold you too long but I know I had thoughts on this strong personalize and what that means for how we view strength

[00:36:21] especially because like seeing you play and win immunity like as a viewer I'm like okay like systemically and as a pattern we see certain people get voted out early like consistently and people of different body types be viewed as not strong or weak and so going into this season seeing this strong personalize I'm just like hmm but I'm gonna take off my uh thinking cap because

[00:36:49] again I don't want to hold you for too long uh but I did just want to ask any final thoughts about the season about this episode uh that you want to share uh as we maybe head out hmm final thoughts let me see um I okay this is just me being like honestly speaking as Carla um I think that

[00:37:15] I think that people need to give a little bit more grace to um to the season because we don't know the intricacies of what is going on out there we don't know the conversations that people have had and so like while we see something that we may not like or we're like this is you know it's not the way that I wanted this game to play out like you don't know the the society that was created out there and

[00:37:45] why like for people's like um strategies just going the way that we're moving the way that they're moving now made perfect sense and they're probably like yeah this is gonna be amazing it's hard to see it outside of that point of view when you're in the game so I I know that some people are frustrated but ultimately one it's not up to us how we edit this game right it could have played out completely different and we just don't know like some of the confessionals that were anyway so yes just give more

[00:38:15] grace to people because I we're all human and we all go out there there's a lot that people like just give up to to do and to entertain it's really just it's a business and it's not a business for us we don't profit off this um yeah so just show show more love and it's tough it's tough being on the receiving end of so much critique um yes and this is this is me honestly just yeah no

[00:38:44] yeah yeah because also it's like if you hose really went out and played would you have done shit different because I don't think so because that's why you're not on my island but go ahead and have a way uh we don't know if some folks might get a call back but you know I don't know so yeah and again as you said definitely more grace where people at the end of the day is 90 minutes per week

[00:39:06] of like over 48 hours of gameplay like we're we are only gonna see so much and again we might not even get to see what people are thinking feeling what's going on in their head and so on the surface it might is so much easier for us to attack attack attack or comment comment comment versus actually

[00:39:33] if you are even given the chance to walk in the shoes of what it would be like to be a player I know I might joke and be like okay Mitch let's make a move but like you know is I do understand deeply like we are people at the end of the day so again shout out to the whole cast and like anybody who's ever been out there or just reality tv in general but that's a different thing but like

[00:39:58] yeah it is something that should be said more so I really appreciate you uh reminding us of that and I'll say this it's because like all right I put myself in their shoes a lot because I think that there were times when I was out there and I was like I'm eating I have you know I'm I have this alliance with these people and you know what like I feel very confident and we're gonna go that far

[00:40:21] but that's like my own perception of this game I'm sorry if you could hear my dogs um but I did not know everything else that was happening and I did not know that like some people were making moves a little differently than I was and it's I don't know if I was on a different podcast saying this or if I was just talking to other players but I was like it feels like you're just on this high while you're out

[00:40:44] there because it is your it's your own POV you only know your POV and the moment you compare your POV with other people's when you see it on tv then you kind of are humbled and your ass is there watching like I was not eating at all whatsoever I was not making the moves that I thought I was moving and so I think that or yeah that I was I thought I was doing but I think that that's where I'm like

[00:41:10] we need to just be kind like Julie Chen be kind to one another but yes well shout out to everybody for listening this has been a purple pants podcast power production try to say that eight times fast uh it's been Tim and Carla it's been split the vote peace
