Survivor 48 Issa Look Cast Assessment w/ Brice Izyah

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Sestranino back for Issa Look, the Survivor 48 preseason podcast that you have been waiting for. And here we are back with the man of the hour and of the day, the birthday baby boy, Brice Izyah. Robert, what's happy birthday, Robert? Happy birthday to you.

[00:00:24] Oh, yes. Well, thank you. It's the baby boy's birthday and there is no better gift that I could think of than being able to podcast and not only podcast, Issa Look. Issa Look. Okay. Is the cherry on the top of the day. The Survivor gods smiled on us today because they gave us a season that's starting right after your birthday so we could do Issa Look on a very special day as part of a very special week.

[00:00:53] It's Bryce's birthday bash. We're celebrating Bryce and the Purple Pants podcast all week long. And this is maybe the cherry on the cake of the week. Yes. With a candle. The thumb. The thumb. Yes. The thumb on top of the cake as we celebrate Purple Pants podcast all week long and Bryce.

[00:01:16] And so for Bryce's birthday that you can send your presents to Bryce. But if you didn't get a present, oh, how embarrassing for you. What you could do in lieu of a gift, go to purplepantspodcast.com and make sure you subscribe before the news start of the season. Yes.

[00:01:37] Hit that subscribe button, baby. Join the Bryce birthday bash. It's been such a fun week. I've been enjoying recording these podcasts and putting them out into the universe. And I appreciate everyone for all of the birthday love. It really feels good. I think I need to start celebrating birthday weeks more often and then move to months and then move to quarters. I think a birthday quarter. Birthday quarter. Yeah.

[00:02:03] Yeah. All right. Well, Bryce, here we are back again. I believe that the first time we ever did this was for Survivor 38. And now here we are back for Survivor 48 as we are going to get your predictions about the new Survivor cast based only on their Survivor cast photo.

[00:02:26] Yes. I feel like I say this every time, but it's a look is a proven science. And if this is your first is to look where you've been at. Welcome. You know, I happen to play. I use that term loosely. But you're not playing today. I'm not playing today, but I happened to be on the island when they were filming Survivor season 28. And I was right there in front of that camera. Yeah. 28 to 38 to 48.

[00:02:56] Oh, OK. Play them numbers. And I got to see Tony take his photos. I got to see Tasha. I got to see Spencer. I got to see Cass. I took my own photo. And I really felt like you that energy that you've given in front of the camera is like similar to the energy that you are going to give to us this season. And so it's a look is a proven science. I have predicted winners before.

[00:03:26] And I'm excited to be here and given it's a look. I feel like I've also single handedly changed the way. You changed the game. Yeah. For sure. Game changer. OK. OK. But some of these people have not seen a lot of Survivor. Some of these folks have not seen a lot of podcasts and maybe are not even familiar with it's a look. So let's see maybe if we have some people who maybe aren't coming in like the super fans knowing exactly the right photo to take.

[00:03:56] But again, Robert, yeah, it's good to know the knowledge. However, the photo is going to speak for itself. If you are confident, if you are out there to play, if you are out there to be a serious gamer, it's going to read through. If you are out there and you are feeling like a fish out of water, it's going to read through in the photo and it more than likely might come through in the game. And so that's what it's a look is here for. And it's just love. And I'm excited to meet all of the 47. 48.

[00:04:26] 48. OK. 48 cast. Yeah. All right. It's a look. Well, for all things, Survivor 48, we have interviews with all the cast. Mike Bloom went to Fiji, got to interview everybody. Mike Bloom and I have talked about the three different tribes and previews. All those podcasts are up. We know Survivor dot com. We have one more preseason podcast to go after this. The big podcaster draft that's going to be on Monday night.

[00:04:52] And then we get ready for Survivor coming up on Wednesday. And we'll have some announcements about some of the things we're going to be doing with the content here on RHAP, which I'm looking forward to. But let's get to it's a look. And why don't we bring up our first person here? And we have first up is Bianca. Bianca. So let's talk a little bit about Bianca and Bianca. OK, so let's see.

[00:05:22] Let me just make my screen larger and I can tell a little bit about what Bianca is, her wonderful cast photo. And so here's Bianca. And she is sort of like a ruffle. I'm not sure exactly what to call this top, Bryce. There's a pattern. A blouse. A blouse. Yeah. A blouse. But yeah, definitely little not polka dots, but like multicolored dots.

[00:05:52] Yeah. Maybe floral or, you know, hard to tell without enhance. Enhance. Yeah. Looks like a floral pattern there. Yeah. OK. All right. Be careful with the zoom in. OK. All right. Then she has a tucked in shirt into some shorts. I say high waisted. Yeah. Hand on a hip. Hand on the side. And that is a very classic Issa look pose.

[00:06:21] Bianca is signaling to the people out there. Hand on the hip means I ain't here to play. I'm here to play Survivor. Hand down on the side is letting us know that like I work with you, you work with me. So it's kind of like the yin and the yang. And we love that. Bianca's smiling. She's kind of got that like business, like old school. The ladies used to wear like a little puff with the hair down. I love it. She's giving me retro. She's giving me vibes. Good energy.

[00:06:50] I feel like Bianca's going to be someone we want to work with. We like. However, I see a thumb, Bianca. And that for me, you know, I get nervous when I see thumbs because I feel like when you are posing, you don't really want to see your hands. I want to see the essence of a hand, but I don't want to see your hand. And the fact that I can see Bianca's thumb makes me nervous that in the game, she might reveal her card. She might slip up. She might do something.

[00:07:20] But she is giving us a very strong pose. I like the way her feet are planted. If somebody is coming at her from the left or the right, she's going to be able to maneuver. And I like Bianca's energy. I think Bianca, if I didn't know her last name was a rose, I say she is a rose. And a rose has thorns to protect this. Everyone does. Yes. So, you know, you got to be careful. But I really like Bianca and I love her energy. And, you know, it's definitely a look.

[00:07:48] So we like Bianca. Okay. All right. So, Bianca, are you feeling like is a maybe? Well, I don't. First one. You know, she definitely makes the merge. I will say that. But I'll keep Bianca in my mind. But as of now, that thumb girl, that thumb on the first, it's a look out.

[00:08:16] I got to be strict here. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, Bryce will tell us a ultimate pick for it's a look. But I don't know. We'll see. Probably not going to have a thumb. All right. Let's talk about Cedric. Okay. So, here comes Cedric. And Cedric is a doctor. He's a physician. He is from the South Carolina. Oh. Here's Cedric. Oh. Okay. Come on, Dr. Cedric. Dr. Cedric.

[00:08:46] He is giving a quint. First of all, another floral shirt. Yeah. Cedric is an older man. Not older, but an older player. Because, you know, they cast six and seven-year-olds now. So, you know, anybody over 14 is considered old. But Cedric has on some khaki shorts. They are above the knee. Yep. So, good length. Poodles. Good length. Nice floral shirt. He's got it buttoned up a little bit.

[00:09:16] He's got the glasses on. He's smiling. He's got hands on both of his hips. That's a classic winter pose. So, Cedric is signaling to us. Cedric is coming in hard. And him being a doctor, that tells me he's not here to play. Right? I feel like doctors give orders. Right? Doctors, they're doing surgery. Doctors' orders. That's what they say. Right. Okay.

[00:09:43] When the doctor is giving surgery, he's saying to the nurse, scalpel. Okay? He's not saying scalpel and handing it to someone else. So, that worries me with somebody like a Cedric. May I please have the scalpel? Right. Right. He's saving lives. And so, again, with this being a younger, somewhat younger season, Cedric being a doctor, this classic pose. What I love, again, he's giving friendly. He's getting like very. I feel like he's with it.

[00:10:12] He got the shorts above the knee. Yeah. But him giving such a strong pose, right, that makes me nervous that if he can get through building the shelter and not giving orders, I say Cedric's in a good position. Okay. And he is, do you know what type of doctor he is? Anesthesiologist. No. He works with, is it colorectal?

[00:10:42] Is that what his? He does the colonoscopies. I believe so. I just had one not that long ago, Robert. I was so excited. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, yeah, he's doing good work. Okay. Keeping the tutor check. So, listen, we like that. That's good to know. Yeah. Now, I don't know.

[00:11:11] Is that saying that Cedric might be a pain in the? I don't think so. I think he's making sure that we don't have one. Okay? Okay. All right. But, yeah, like Cedric, good energy, strong. Love Dr. Cedric. Okay. Dr. Cedric. Okay. First or second with a floral pattern. All right. Let's go to Charity. Okay. Here comes Charity.

[00:11:34] And Charity is a flight attendant who also is a fitness coach. I don't want to say influencer. Okay. Here's Charity. Can I call this a jumper? Romper. Romper. Okay. Would you say that this is like a, I don't know about a mint green. Pretty light green. I see a light denim, but maybe. I think that's like a. Can we enhance?

[00:12:06] We have a spinning pinwheel situation. Okay. Yes. Okay. Is that a, okay. I think it's. Yes. Okay. Yes. And further review. Yes. We have some denim. We have a zipper. Hair pulled back. Hair pulled back. Hand in. Again, similar pose. Hand in pocket. Thumb. Very projected out there. Other hand down to the side.

[00:12:34] For me, that one arm in the pocket is giving very strong. So again, it's like Charity wants to say, hey, I'm out here to play. I'm out here to win a million dollars. However, I read vibes. I read body languages. It's her other hand that is the more, I don't want to say passive, but that's the hand that's like, hey, you work with me. I work with you. In this photo, that hand is giving more dominant, right? So I feel like Charity is going to want to come out here and play, but I feel like Charity has a heart.

[00:13:03] I feel like Charity is a lover and I feel like she's going to, her emotions, her, when you go out to Survivor, you feel like you want to play. You want to win a million dollars. You've seen a million seasons, but then you always never expect to make friends. You always, I'm like, do I want to stab Rob in the back? I actually like Rob. So I feel like Charity might have an issue with that. I also feel like the way she's standing, right? Like it is both of her feet are facing the same direction.

[00:13:32] So that makes me nervous because if someone comes at Charity from the front or the back, she's not going to be prepared and she's going to be, she might be a little frazzled. So I'm worried for Charity, but I love her tattoos. I feel like she has lived experience. I almost get like Kendra vibes from season 45 and I love Kendra. So I feel like I'm going to love Charity. I love this outfit. I love her look.

[00:13:56] I feel like she's going to be great, but I am nervous about the pose, the thumb and the way her feet are positioned. She has a hand in the pocket, but she has all the fingers you want to see in the pocket, but only the thumb sticking out of the pocket. Yeah. And it's like there. So I just get nervous. She might not be ready for when the people lie. When they, you know, they lie, Charity. They get right to your face. Okay. All right.

[00:14:26] That's Charity. Next up, we're going to go to Chrissy. Interested to hear what you have to say about Chrissy, the firefighter. Oh. Okay. Here's Chrissy. Now, Chrissy has on a tank top. It's like a little knot in the front. Okay. Maybe it's a little big. Chrissy! I like it. Give me a thousand of them. Immediately.

[00:14:55] And then we've got some shorts. Okay. A little tan shorts. Arms folded across. Winter. Okay. Listen. Let's be clear here. We in the presence of something. I don't know. Okay. Wait. Why am I screaming? Sorry. It's just Chrissy. You got me. You got me screaming, Chrissy. I don't know. It's something about Chrissy here.

[00:15:23] First of all, this is a quintessential winter pose. Jeremy Collins, Tony, Wendell have all used this pose. She means business. But I like what Chrissy is doing here. It's not her hands folded. It's not straight on. She tilts. I mean, is she tear a squat and lean back? Lean back. Like, you know, Chrissy is leaning back. Right. The way her feet are positioned.

[00:15:53] One is facing forward. The other one is facing to the side. Chrissy is like, if I have to fight a fire, if I have to put somebody down. Does lean concern you? No. Because. Sorry. Don't scream. Because it's like. When you. I don't know if you've ever argued with somebody, Robert. And it gets to the point where you. Putting your arms here. Yeah. Or folding your arms. When you just have them like this. It's like. Oh, okay. But when you. When you put that. When you put the tilt on that. Mm-hmm. Oh, Chrissy is making a statement.

[00:16:23] Oh. Oh. Okay. Miss Chrissy. Then. Chrissy got out there. And again, I said. When you get in front of this camera. It really does matter. The fact that Chrissy took the time to say. You know what? This outfit might be a little plain. Let me take my shirt. And roll it up. And give it a little. Boom, boom. Oh. I am getting. Very. Main character energy. I'm liking the hair. Listen. And. My job.

[00:16:53] I don't want to say older woman. But again. They cast six and seven year olds. So like. Chrissy is. Probably older than. On this tribe. She looks great. The older women. Are. In the new era. Has been amazing. This again. We see a little bit of Chrissy's hands. Right? Like you know. She let you know. Like hey. But you don't see no thumb. You don't see a thumb. Oh. Chrissy. Yeah. It's the. It's the bang.

[00:17:22] And the little layered haircut. Chrissy gives me. She's a mom. And this is instinctual. Bryce. That this is. Not a matter of. Like she didn't like. Listen to a podcast. Memorize what to do. This is organic. When you got it. You got it. Now. I'm so serious. Robert. Listen. Put Chrissy to the side. Okay. Okay. Chrissy. Chrissy. Put her on to the side. All right. First person. That is. Going to. Maybe.

[00:17:52] The pick. I. I. It's. It's the details for me. They. They matter. The fact that she rolled. Her little shirt up. And the fact that it. It eats. Okay. Chrissy. I see you. It gave you a little. Almost a little. Crop top. I saw a little. Naval. Waistline. Yeah. Like. Okay. I see you Chrissy. Bryce. We got to talk about. This next person.

[00:18:22] He. Made. A lot of waves. Way back when. When he said. That he got. Everything in life. From chocolate milk. Here he is. David. David. Now wait a minute. You said. He got everything in life. From chocolate milk. That's what he said. Have you ever had.

[00:18:52] A caramel macchiato. Okay. David. A lot of protein. In a caramel macchiato. It is. Okay. Two shots. Straight down. Okay. David. I mean. Two shots. Okay. Go. Ooh. Here's David. He has on. A. Black tank top. Okay.

[00:19:22] I mean. Does he have on a black tank top? Or does the tank top. Have him on? Oh. That's a good question. I never thought of it that way. He has. Okay. Some shorts. They're a little long. A little long. And a belt. I'm a give. And you know. I am very strict. With my. Short. Rules. However. Because David's torso. Is. Extremely long. I'm not sure why his torso. Is so long.

[00:19:52] But. It. Whew. I'm a little hypnotized. By David. Should I be Goliath? I don't know. David. He is. I mean. This is like. A. Jonathan Wright. He's. This is giving. A. Cousin from the north. Of Jonathan Wright. Interesting. Again. David. Is giving us. The quintessential. Pose. We don't see any thumbs.

[00:20:22] The only thing that scares me. Is that. His presence. Right. He has. Such a big presence. And he's so muscly. And it's like. Literally like. He's got like. Top cleavage. At the top of his like. You know like. Just take it. Off. David. And. And. And. And he's smirking. Right. Like. I feel like. I can't. David.

[00:20:53] That smirk for me. First of all. David loves himself. I just know it. Yes. Okay. That smirk says it all. But that smirk scares me. Because. I feel like. When David walks into a room. I feel like David thinks that he's like. The smartest. And the most good looking. And he's probably right. But. You know. I can't. Do a podcast. Without quoting. My neighbor. James Jones. James Jones. James Jones. Would say. Threat level.

[00:21:23] Right. He has a. Huge. Threat level. Just from his. Size. Alone. Right. And so. When people see him. They're automatically going to think. Big guy. Good at challenges. All of this different things. And so. That could work against David. Or for him. Because David could actually be bad at challenges. But then. Because they have that expectation. That he's a threat. But. Mm-hmm. I feel like David's going to definitely for sure make the merge. Yeah.

[00:21:53] But. I don't know. But. I feel like. There is a spot. Somewhere. Yeah. A 2026. Zaddy calendar. Zaddy calendar. Okay. But David. We didn't talk about. Sam. Can we get. Go zoom in on the thumb here. It's a little subtle. But he does. He does have a thumb poking out here. On the. The hand. So. He had a chance to. That. Like.

[00:22:21] I think that's an easy one to fix. And. He missed it. That's going to cost you David. Right? That might have been a million dollar thumb. But I will give. But it's also perfectly resting on his. I don't even. What is that? A tricep? Bicep? I think that's still bicep. Oh. Perfect place to put it David. Okay. It's resting on his bicep. But.

[00:22:50] It blends in. So you can't necessarily see it. However. A thumb is a thumb. Whoa. Okay. A thumb is a thumb. Thumb is a thumb. Okay. Everybody got him. But. It is so camouflaged. That I think. David might be okay with it. But. It also just lets us know. Like. That smirk that David is giving us. Like. I. It's giving confidence. It's giving. I feel like. What will be the downfall of David.

[00:23:19] Is that I think he might get into a comfortable position. Okay. And let his guard down. But I mean. David is a. Work of art. Mm-hmm. Love to see him. Love to meet him. Okay. Like Michelangelo once put together. Okay. Okay. All right. Call me Basquiat. All right. Next up. Let's talk about. Eva. Okay.

[00:23:48] Here comes Eva. And. Eva. Oh. Is here. Okay. She's got a. Green top. Uh. What if I'd say. Uh. Sports bra. I think like a. Or a. Like a. Sports shirt. Is that a thing? Yeah. Little camisole. Little. Camisole. Little. Little. Athletic leisure. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Athletic leisure. And then like some soccer shorts. Gray shorts.

[00:24:19] She looks solid. She looks very athletic. Giving us a quintessential winner pose as well. Hands on the hip. Hands on the hip. Very. One knee kind of bent. The other like very strong pose. Eva's going to be solid in this game. Yeah. And hands on her hips. And she's not facing the camera directly. Yeah. So. Always say with something like that. When you face the camera directly and put your hands on the hip. It's like you're saying like. What's up? Come get it. Mm-hmm. But when you slightly turn to the side a little bit.

[00:24:48] It's still giving that same demeanor. But like the camera doesn't shoot it. Right? So it doesn't look as threatening. And so I feel like Eva is. She's forward thinking. Okay. She's lowering her threat level. But she looks athletic. Looks like an athlete. And she's smiling beautifully. Right? Like. And so it's like. We like Eva. This is a very strong pose. Can we zoom in on those hands? Because I was so.

[00:25:16] Magnetized by David. Mm-hmm. Okay. We don't. I see a little thumb there in the back. Yeah. We see a remnants. Remnants. Of a thumb. But not a thumb. Her. And. Another thing I always talk about. Strings. Right. David had a leather belt. Okay. Mm-hmm. What is it? SM and DM? Uh. Wait. Wait. Something like that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's a leather belt. Strong choice.

[00:25:47] Uh. Eva here has strings. And sometimes. People always. Because I. Listen. I'll be in the comments. I'll read the comments. People will always like. The strings don't really make sense. Eva is giving us a perfect example. Of. Neatly. Tied. Strings. It matters. The length. And so. This again tells me. That Eva. Is. Methodical. Eva thinks things through. Is she a. Um. Is she a super fan? No. Oh. Okay.

[00:26:17] Well she's disciplined. She's giving me like. Not military background. But like. Eva is giving me. She makes her bed every day. Yeah. Well she's very smart. Uh. She's a. Uh. PhD candidate. I believe. And uh. Is a athlete. Mm. I can see it. Eva. This is. Okay. We add. Add Eva. To my column. Cause this. This is a strong. This is a very like. Disarming.

[00:26:46] Strong pose. Uh. And in the new era. Like. That's. Yeah. I gotta. I have to also adapt. My. It's a look. To the new era. And remember that like. The new era. Things are different. And you know. Uh. Uh. But this is a very strong pose. Eva. Okay. All right. Next up. We're gonna talk about. Joe. Okay. Joe. Another.

[00:27:16] Firefighter. Oh. Let's talk about. Joe. And Joe. It's got like a white linen shirt. Got a couple of buttons open. Uh. Looks like no collar. Also. Uh. For a blue collar guy. And then. Also. Has. Some shorts. Maybe a little long. They're a little long. But. I'm gonna give Joe some grace. Because. It looks like Joe. Joe used some lotion.

[00:27:46] Or some oil. Oh. Joe's skin is glistening. I see those thighs. I see that arm. You're like the Natalie Napalm. Yeah. Your skin is gorgeous darling. I forgot Natalie said that. And also. Shout out to Natalie and Uncle Carl. On the White Lotus. He looks like he's ready to go to the White Lotus Joe. He does. He. If he didn't have hair. He would be.

[00:28:15] Like I would almost name him another thing. But like no. Joe. I didn't think that through. If he didn't have hair. He would be like another thing. Okay. What do they call it? The losers that didn't make it at home. But like. A loser's back home. Yeah. But no. Joe looks great. This is. Another strong winner pose. Hand on your hips. Yep. Similarly to Eva. He's not facing the camera forward. He's turning a little to the side.

[00:28:45] So he's trying to disarm us. But I. I know. I see a Dominic Abate. Yeah. When I see one. Right. Like he gives me dad vibes. First of all. He gives me like young cool dad vibes. I also could see him like with a hashtag in his profile that says like girl dad. Right. Like I could see him with like four girls. He clearly cares about what he looks like. We appreciate it. Uh. But I see the dog in him. I. Got that dog in him.

[00:29:14] He got that dog in him. Big dog's gotta eat. Okay. And it's dinner time. He's a firefighter. We see the tattoo on his arm. He's got a little arm candy. Like. Arm candy? Joe's eating. Arm candy. Little bracelet. Oh. Joe is uh. Joe's eating right now. Oh I didn't even see the other tattoo. What's the bracelet say? Can we enhance any further? Two.

[00:29:44] That might be uh. Uh. I know he talked a lot about his sister. Uh. So it might be. It might be about her. I love it. And it's purple. And be Joanna's week or something. But yeah. Also bringing out the memory of his sister. Yeah. Joe won't be a. Joe might be a problem. Yeah. Because I feel like he's like. I'm not a killer. But don't test me. Right. Like I feel like if you test him. He's going to push back. But also.

[00:30:14] His white linen shirt. That if he's married. I just know his wife picked this outfit out. Uh. And. I. I just. I. I don't want to put everybody to the side. But put Joe to the side too. Because. I mean it's only the third person. Okay. Yeah. I like Joe. Okay. Little questionable on the shorts. But a very strong pose. Look at how his feet are planted in the ground. He's not going to be blindsided. He's going to. He has his feet to the ears.

[00:30:43] He's a firefighter. Like you said. He. Gets along with people. But I also feel like he's a leader. But he's not. I just. I'm. I'm. I don't. Hard to say what type of leader he'll be. Because I. Again. I get Dominic Abate from him. This is like Dominic Abate's little brother. Okay. All right. Next up. We've got. Justin. Justin. Of course. That he. Works at the family business. Luigi's Pizza. Here's.

[00:31:13] Justin. The pizza man. What in the. Belinsky. Is going on. Belinsky. Yeah. This is Ben Katzman. And Jelinski's cousin. Oh. Belinsky. Yeah. I like that. Okay. So he's got on a blue linen shirt. And then long pants. We don't see a lot of men in slacks on Survivor in their cast photo. But here he is. I'm going to give you a little pushback.

[00:31:42] I want to say that those are linen pants. Linen pants. Okay. Either way. I think it's rare we see men in long pants in their Survivor cast photo. I would agree. Or they look like jeans a little bit. Hard to tell. Joe. Yeah. But. Either way. I can't remember the last man we saw who wasn't wearing shorts. Very true. Mm-hmm. Okay. Did Joe. Did Joe Del Tempo. Did he. Joe Del Campo.

[00:32:12] Did he have on shorts? We. That was long before we even did this podcast. I just love Joe. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Shout out to Joe. Okay. And all his dogs. Yeah. I love up. Yeah. My. Just random Joe. Random Joe story. The other day. I didn't realize I wasn't following Joe back. Oh. I thought like. I'm like how could I not be following Joe back? Like I like. He likes something. I was like oh this Joe. Click on it.

[00:32:42] Pop pop Joe. Pop pop. I had about 32 messages for pop pop Joe. Yeah. What was he saying? He was. He was liking like when I post my mom's dogs. Or my mom's dog. He was a dog guy. He was like like. Like she's adorable. How old is she? What's her name? And my. It was like so many of them. I was like pop pop Joe. I promise I didn't see it. I promise. But listen. Back to Belinsky. I like him. Very chill. Very like. You know. Very unassuming.

[00:33:12] Right. In this. We talk about a threat level. Yeah. Very unassuming. Right. Like. He looks smart. He works at the family business. But he went to Yale. He like. Pressed his hair back. Like. I mean like. He's. Like. I. You get all this from the picture? That's. I mean. You know. You know. Normally. Yale people have seven white buttons on a blue shirt. Yeah. That's the uniform. Yes. But I. He's very chill. Right.

[00:33:42] But. Also like. Not a cocky chill. But like. He's very chill. Like. What's up? But like. I know what's going on guys. And so. I like this. However. The thing that makes me nervous is. This is such a chill pose. He's got both of his thumbs out. Mm-hmm. That's. A little nerve wracking for me. Because it's like. Justin. I feel like you could potentially win this game. But you might get caught up on. A lie. An idol. Trying to like. Outsmart somebody.

[00:34:11] But Justin for sure is very chill. I love his energy. I love the pants. He's. You know. Not a threatening pose at all. I am nervous about his foot positioning. They are. Face the same way. He is. Like his legs are open wide. So he would be able to. Protect himself. If someone were to come directly at him. But. If they came from the side. Or the back. He'd be off his balance a little bit. And so I'm a little nervous.

[00:34:41] Like Justin is really high on my book. But if I'm rating like the Issa look. It's a very chill. Very like. Low rated. But. I do see these thumbs. And two thumbs. Justin. Two thumbs up for Luigi's Pizza. But not for the picture. Yes. We got to get a stromboli. Is that what you like? Stromboli? I do. Yeah. Have you. It's just. I always thought it was like. A delicacy. When we used to like order pizzas on Fridays.

[00:35:11] And my mom would get a stromboli. Like I would like love it. But as an adult. I am like. What really is a stromboli? Is it like really just. It's like a pizza turned upside down. Not. If you just turned to half of a pizza. Yeah. You know. Honestly. If I had to tell you. Like the difference between a stromboli. And a calzone. Like I think it's just. Is there. Just less cheese in a stromboli? Stromboli got cheese? It's got a little bit. It doesn't have a ton of like. Like ricotta. Oh. Wait. Ricotta cheese? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[00:35:41] That's like. Like the kind. Like the. Like the yogurt kind of ricotta? I guess it's sort of similar consistency. What's. What are the size of a calzone? I think calzone is like. Like a half moon. Like a. Calzone. Like a little bit more. Or long and thin. And. Does it have like the circle in it? You know how like the. Sometimes the strombolis will have. I don't know. Okay. I've never had a calzone. Okay.

[00:36:11] Yeah. All right. We'll get a calzone. Okay. Okay. All right. Next up. We're going to talk about. Camilla. Okay. Okay. Here is. Camilla. And Camilla. She's got on. Overalls. Okay. Can I call this a jumper? Is this jumper? So I mean. It's kind of in the rumper. Territory. But yes. Jumper. Okay. And then she's got like.

[00:36:41] The yellow jumper. And then a. Maroon. T-shirt. Hands on her hips. Hands on her hips. She. Pose. We are seeing a lot. Hands on her hips. Which means she. Like. Camilla is saying. She ready for war. She's out here to play. Tilted to the side. So not straight on. But. Again. Here's. I got to get into the details. Right. It is the. Unevenness. Of the hands. On the hip.

[00:37:11] Mm-hmm. One is up. One is down. So that for me. Is like. Telling me. Camilla might be a little chaotic. Camilla like. Might be a little. Like. I'm not sure. But I feel like. I'm just not sure. What she's standing on. Is what you should be standing on. Like. I had to learn the hard way. That like. When you're on Survivor. Is anybody but you. And I feel like.

[00:37:40] Camilla is giving me like. We. She got her hair to the side. She's got a purple shirt. She's like. In position. Like. I'm coming to play. But. That lopsided in the hand. Does. It tells me that. In your preparation of like. I'm here to play. You might. Fumble a little bit. You might be Jason Mahomes. And get sacked six times. In the Super Bowl. Like. You know. You. You're prepared. But. Yeah. You might be standing on the wrong thing. But. I mean. I love her. Like.

[00:38:18] The height. Is that an issue? Right. And it's not even so much that. They're not at the same height. It's the fact that like. I can pick up on it. Right. Even if they off a little bit. But the fact that I can pick up on it. Is telling me that like. Whatever you are going to put down. It might not land. How you're thinking. It's landing. And you might think that you're coming off genuine. And everyone's thinking. You're out looking for idols. You know. Something like that. But. I definitely feel like. She's going to be able to speak up. She's going to speak up. And I think that she's for sure. Going to be. A.

[00:38:48] Character. Not a character. But a person. We love. Because. She's going to. Speak her mind. Like. I get like. A Hannah Shapiro. I feel like. A Hannah. Meets a Venus. Ooh. Okay. I saw that. That's. You know. I'm here for it. Okay. All right. That's. Camilla. Okay. Next up. Bryce. We're going to talk about. Kevin. Is up next. Okay. Okay.

[00:39:18] And. Kevin. He's a smiley guy. Here he is. Here's Kevin. And. He has his arms of. Crossed. Very tightly. As he also has. A linen shirt. But like. Vertical stripes. And also. Some. White. Khaki shorts. Okay. The length of the shorts. Are great. Okay. I like the combination. Of. One color of the stripes.

[00:39:48] Matching the shorts. Mm-hmm. Kevin is looking into. The camera. He's smiling. Kevin's. Attractive. He's tall. He's giving us the quintessential. Winter pose. But normally. With this quintessential. Hands crossed. You don't really get a smile. Smile like that. Right? So that. Concerns me. Um. Why? Because it just. Like.

[00:40:18] I've seen it. Where. Hands across. Which means. Listen. Like. I'm. I'm here to play Survivor. And so. He's smiling at us. Letting us know. Like. Trying to lower his threat level. But. I feel like. With a smile like that. It almost lends to. I think Kevin is. Like a really nice guy. I think that. Like. I feel like. You might be out here to play. And get dirty. But. When it's time. When Thanksgiving comes.

[00:40:49] Everybody wants to catch the turkey. But. When it's. When it's. When it's time to. The turkey. Everybody. Everybody. Not built for it. Right. Everybody wants to eat Thanksgiving dinner. But nobody wants to kill the turkey. Right. I'm just saying. I don't know. If I actually see a killer in Kevin. Which I love. Because Kevin is. Extremely. Attractive. He looks. Friendly.

[00:41:18] He looks like. People are going to like him. Also looks like. A zaddy. If I see one. But I think. I want to go back to. What you're saying about. The. Different. The different. Parts of. Kevin. Kevin. That might be. A little bit. Of. A. You know. Fighting each other. Where. Kevin. Is very. Happy. Up top. Yes. And is very. Closed off. And business like.

[00:41:47] Is that a mixed signal. Internally. I think so. And again. If we want to dissect this even more. With the quintessential hands across your. Hands folded across your chest. Right. You don't want to be looking like. You're strangling somebody. Right. Like you don't want to look like. You know. It wants to be like. They supposed to be here. Because I'm a winner. Right. Like. And again. It's. I feel like. Kevin listens to the podcast. Because we don't see.

[00:42:17] No thumbs. I don't even know. You couldn't even find one with a crowbar. I don't know if like. Kevin just has a wrist. Right. Like. So he's. He's locked down. And then. We can even dissect it a little bit more. Because his feet. Are planted really well. The one foot is like. Directly planted. Strong down. The other one. Is a little laxed in the back. And so. That again. Makes me nervous that. He looks like he's in good position. But. If somebody were to come at you.

[00:42:47] I think that his balance would be off. So I think that Kevin might have. An internal struggle here. Where. It's like. He knows the game. He's out here to play. But he is this attractive. Fun. And friendly guy. And again. Everybody wants to go to Thanksgiving. And eat. But when it's time to come outside. Everybody can't kill a turkey. So I don't know. But I love. I feel like Kevin's energy is great. I feel like he's. I mean. He's going to be great to look at. And.

[00:43:17] Yeah. But it's. It's hard to explain the science of. It's a look. Right. Because this is. A winner pose. But. I don't know if I believe it. Yeah. I bet. You know what I'm saying? I do. Because you're saying the face doesn't match. The. Like there's a winner. Facial look. And. But you can be a smiley winner. Right. Right. But it's like. I don't know. I feel like. If Kevin would have just. Dropped his hands. Or put his hands on his hips.

[00:43:47] And gave us like that. With this smile. I feel like. It would have been a marriage. That I'm like. Kevin's. Kevin's going to win. But it's that. It's that like. I'm here to play. No. I'm with you 100%. Because there's. We've seen. Every different type of person. Win the game. And sometimes you win. By sort of. You know. Forcing it. And sometimes you win. By being. Having a good social game. And sort of being. Under the radar. And being a very. Like inviting person. But.

[00:44:16] In this picture. We're seeing. Two different aspects of Kevin. And they have to line up in the game. You could be either one. It's hard to be both at the same time. It's hard to be intimidating. And inviting at the same time. Right. And it's like. No doubt that he's prepared. No doubt that he knows. What he's out here for. But. Sometimes when you. Hit that beach. Robert. It hits a little different. Can I say. For Kevin. That I'm wondering. Could it be nerves at all. Where you know. He's very excited.

[00:44:46] But I'm wondering. If maybe the arms being a little too tight. Is a little bit of a sign of. That he's a little nervous. Yes. Could be. I mean. I want to give. I want to give Kevin. All the benefits. And all the doubts. That I could give him. But. I also feel like. In the game. You're going to be nervous. In the game. When you're about to lie to somebody. In the game. When you're like. Finding an idol. You're going to be nervous. And so like. Again. That's why I feel like. It's a look. It's a proven science. Where.

[00:45:17] I want Kevin to win. We can add Kevin to my yes power. Because that's how much. Oh. I like. To look at Kevin. But. I am. I'm a little nervous. I will be honest. But this is the new era. And. The new era. Puts their own little stank on it. So again. Maybe he is. Maybe he's throwing us off. I don't know. You never know. Okay. All right. Next up. We're going to talk about. Kyle. Okay. All right.

[00:45:46] Here comes. Survivor. Kyle. Red shirt. And. We've got some. Uh. You know. Dark. Gray. Shorts. Yeah. Is it just me? I feel like that the. Clothes the survivors are wearing. A little. Or a little bit more plain. Than what we've seen in the past. In the cast photos. Is that just in my head? No. It's not in your head. I feel like I'm seeing a lot of solid colors.

[00:46:17] Plain and safe. You know. A few patterns. But I don't feel like. That we're seeing any. Like. Really. Wild. Super memorable. Clothes from the survivors. I agree. I mean. I'm. People I'm thinking about is. Charity. Uh. But. I. Uh. Kyle. Looks very. Distinguished. Yeah. He looks very. I almost get similar. From. Kevin and Kyle. Right. They both look. Young professionals.

[00:46:47] Yeah. Young professionals. Like. Nice. Friendly. Like. I get. Like. A Caleb. Wendell vibe. From him. I get that. He is like. I. Get. That. In my own world. In a TV show. His dad is the president. And he's like. Wow. The president's son. Yeah. And mind you. He be drinking on the weekend. With his friends and stuff. Yeah. But. Like. You know. Good morning sir. Like. He's very proper. He's very like. He speaks to everybody. He acknowledges everybody.

[00:47:17] He's like. You know. Here for a good time. And. Very chill. I think that he's going to be welcoming. But again. Thumbs. Right. And so. I see very similarities. In a Kevin and a Kyle. Right. But the difference is. What I can tell about their game. Is that like. I feel like things. Kevin isn't going to be. Kyle. Isn't going to be as neat. With his game. He's going to like. Drop some Easter eggs. The camp. Kevin.

[00:47:46] On the other hand. He's going to be locked up. And then that's also going to be a red flag. A little bit. But. I really like Kyle. He's very chill. I like the tattoos on his legs. They tell us the story. He. What's the story. Sam. Can we see. Enhance. Enhance. Okay. Hmm. Well. Is that little. Boat at the bottom. A boat. A boat. Or a bridge. It's two lines.

[00:48:17] Two lines. I bet the two lines is an interesting story. Yeah. I don't know what that means. Looks like a town. Looks like. Maybe. A homeland. From his. Where. As parents. I don't know if that's a flag. To the right. The two lines. I feel like. Some type of. Armed forces. Military. Some type of. You know. Something. Mm-hmm. Two lines. Parallel. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.

[00:48:47] But. We like Kyle. He's. His feet are planted. In a great direction. Again. He just looks. So friendly. And so perfect. And I did read. A little bit. Of some. Of the people. And. I. Think. That. What makes me so nervous. About him. Is that I think like. He said he wanted to play a game. Of Caleb. Not. Not Caleb. Obama. Why not Caleb? Because Caleb. Was too perfect.

[00:49:17] Mm-hmm. Yeah. Caleb. Was literally. I mean. Yes. But. Ultimately. Like. He was. Too perfect. Like. People saw him. As like. The nicest person. Ever. Mm-hmm. And. That didn't work. Yeah. And so. Yeah. I. I get a little nervous about Kyle. But I definitely get like. Relaxed. Chill. Kyle's arms. Are flexed a little bit. Even though he has them in his pocket. Very chill. So it's like. Kyle's here to play. He's. He's athletic. He got a little fight in him.

[00:49:47] There's a dog in there. Yeah. But. Them thumbs. Kyle's gonna slip up on something. I can't put my finger on it. Uh. But. Or thumb. Or thumb. Or thumb. Okay. But we like a Kyle. All right. Is he going through to the list? Short list? I mean. I think we gonna keep Kyle here. Okay. Okay. It's the. The two thumbs. I can't like. I could. Yeah. It's a lot of thumbs. Okay. All right. Next up.

[00:50:15] We're gonna talk about Mary. Okay. All right. And you tell us. Uh. What we have here for. Mary. Oh. Mary with her. Uh. A crocheted dress. I believe she made it herself. You just said. Where are the memorable outfits? Where are the memorable? This is memorable. Miss Mary. Okay. Miss Mary. Mac. Mac. Mac. All dressed in black. Black. Okay. Uh. Got bangs. Are those. Do I see.

[00:50:44] Does Mary have on hoop earrings? Yes. Uh. Okay. Mary. Yeah. Hoop is. We like hoops. But hoops also like could come off. With some. Wait. It's somebody. Okay. Somebody said the wrong thing. Yeah. Okay. She's giving us the Beyonce from the me, myself, and I era bang. Love it. Love the crocheted. I love the colors. It's telling me a story. I feel like Mary is a layered person. She has a story to tell.

[00:51:14] Hands on the hips. We don't see a thumb. She's tilted to the side. Very strong player. Mary. What you see is what you get is what I'm getting from someone like a Mary. And I love it. Okay. Love. Love. Love Mary. All right. Yeah. Good pose. Right? Good leg. Like she knows what she's doing with her leg. Planted. Kind of. Yeah. This is where. It's a little tricky. It's because her feet are pointed. It looks like the same direction.

[00:51:41] And so that isn't good for withstanding a blow or preparing yourself. So that makes me nervous. It's the below the knee down. Mary, that makes me a little nervous. But below the knee up. Like Mary. That's like 75 percent. Like from the knee up. Yeah. But I mean, is it a hundred? No. But is Mary going through? Is Mary on the list?

[00:52:10] Because yes, we're going to put Mary on the list. Okay. Come on, Mary. I put her through. I don't get a vote, but I would. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Bryce, next up. We're talking about Mitch. Okay. Mitch from Waco. The gym teacher. Oh. Come on, PE. Here he is. Mitch with a floral shirt. He's got the shorts.

[00:52:39] I think a good length. Fingers in pocket. But an exposed thumb. An exposed thumb. But I'm loving this shirt. Probably my favorite is floral shirt I've seen. Yes. Hoochie Daddy shorts. Oh. Approved. Okay. Because they're like the khaki Hoochie Daddy shorts. Mitch looks super fit. He looks fun. He has the right type of pose in his legs. Mm-hmm. Where one foot to the left.

[00:53:08] One foot kind of like planted in under the sand. Mitch is giving us a very strong pose. I like Mitch. I have had the opportunity of meeting Mitch before. Because he's a Survivor fan. And so I feel like I've known Mitch for a number of years online. And so I, one, am a little biased because I'm excited for Mitch to do. But that thumb, Mitch, is what's scaring me. Because again, it's kind of like Mitch is giving us everything.

[00:53:37] He's giving us a nice little smile. And if we could, can we see his smile again? You see the difference in like Mitch's smile as opposed to like a Kevin smile where it's like Mitch isn't like, he not giving us a lot. But it's like a, like, you know, like there's. So for me, however Mitch is going to play this game, because in my mind, I want Mitch to be a chaotic mess.

[00:54:07] In the sense, I want him to get out there and I want him to like kind of be running this game. And I want people like not to expect it for Mitch. And I feel like the smile kind of gives the perfect thing of what I'm looking for. But me hoping that Mitch is like a chaotic out there causing, like, you know, like the star of the show, that thumb, Robert, scares me with me wanting Mitch to be so chaotic. It's like, and we're going to be chaotic and do all this stuff.

[00:54:34] We got to make sure they don't see any of our hands. Yep. Got to watch it. Got to watch it. All right. Anything with Mitch, feet? Feet are good. I love Mitch. I've like read and heard his story. And I'm really excited for Mitch to go out here. And again, I really want Mitch to like, you on the island, like be messy.

[00:55:00] I just, I like, I just, I hope Mitch gives me what I want in this season, but I'm so excited for Mitch. Okay. Let's talk next about another contestant. We're going to talk about Say coming up next. Okay. Here she is. Here is Say. What do you say? Hey, Hey Say. Okay. Listen. Denim shorts. She got denim shorts. Tucked in shirt. Tucked in shirt.

[00:55:29] She got, okay. Say. That's not lotion. That's giving like baby oil. Okay. Cause Say's legs is glistening and shining. I love it. We love the details. You know, I love a brown skin queen. I feel like she's got her straight backs going on. She's smiling. It's an interesting hand pose, right? I don't think we've seen that too much. We haven't. A lot on Survivor.

[00:55:58] And I feel like we see people do this in the wild, right? Like I feel like when you're on the boardwalk and you are like waiting for somebody to come out with their funnel cake or something, you kind of like do this thing where it's kind of like anxious, bored. Like it's kind of like, I got to like utilize my pockets. It's like, you know, so I get like, and we see both of her thumbs. And so I get nervous for Say seeing this hand motion where I feel like Say has what it takes

[00:56:28] to kill it. But I am nervous with this pose because it's like, will you get nervous out there? Will like, I don't know if it's like fidgety. Well, then they, people think like, oh, it's gotta be side. Cause she's doing like, I don't know. But this is a very interesting type of pose where it's like, she's trying to give chill, relax, arms still a little flex. So it's like, Si, she comes to play, but it's in this like weird phase.

[00:56:56] And so I'm nervous that Si might be nervous out there and that matters. It really does. So I'm scared, but I'm going to be rooting for, and I believe she might be from Philly. So I have to root for my Philly queen. So I am rooting for her, but I like two thumbs side. Come on. Yeah. All right. What about lower body feet planted? Kind of, kind of going in one direction. Yeah. Kind of going in one direction.

[00:57:25] So again, like I just, sometimes I don't like this gift because it's making me nervous because I feel like feet placed in one direction. So that's telling me she's loyal. So she's going, she, okay. Loyal to the soil. She's going the direction of where the tribe is going. But if somebody were to come up behind her or on the side with her hands in this, but like she, she'd be falling to the ground and then all the sand would be stuck to her,

[00:57:55] her, her beautifully shiny legs. It's like, you know, like, so I'm nervous for my, I'm nervous for her. Okay. But I'm rooting for her. All right. Bryce, let's talk about a guy who made a big impression so far. Let's talk about Shaheen is next. Okay. Here he is. Here is Shaheen. Okay. And he's got on vertical stripes and a little bit of a collar here.

[00:58:24] He's also got the shorts, blue shorts, necklace, and of course the famous beard. The beard. Okay. We like him. Okay. First of all, very attractive. You know what? I'll be honest. You know what this outfit gives me? I can't imagine.

[00:58:53] It reminds me of Jam Jam. Oh. Just the, the, the flowiness. Did he have vertical stripes? So he didn't have vertical stripes. He had on one of his husband's like a oversized shirt. Right. And that's kind of like what this material of this shirt is, but it's like the, the color palettes. It's his beard. I, first of all, he gives, first of all, I feel like he's looking directly at me.

[00:59:21] I feel like he is like flirting with me from this photo. We're trying to do a podcast with Bryce. Okay. Shaheen, can we, can we please have a little professional courtesy? Can we have the room please? Sir? Do you mind? Wait, how does Sai have her hair? Cause I'm, Shaheen making me a little nervous. Sam, take his face off the screen. Okay. All right.

[00:59:51] Is that better, Bryce? But listen, he has the wrist jewelry finger. Like he's got jewelry on, necklaces. We appreciate that. Hands on the hip. Very, this is a bit. Okay. First of all, Shaheen is going to the next level. He understood the assignment. He understood the assignment. Now maybe he, this isn't his first cast photo. He was an alternate. Really? Yeah. Oh. He was an alternate for, I said, Sam, take the face off.

[01:00:23] Let's see. But it is, looking at how he has his hands on his hips, right? Very assertive. Mm-hmm. But not assertive. And also I could see that he has one of his hips pushed out, right? That's good. But the shirt is, yeah, I mean, cause he, he ready to go. Like he can, this is, this by, this is, he's a work of art. Wow. I don't think you've ever used that term before. I mean, yeah.

[01:00:53] He, like the shorts, it's the short, it's the color combo. Only David was the work of art. And that, well, yes. No, well, David was a masterpiece. Mm-hmm. And I don't, I don't want to mess his name up. Shaheen. Shaheen. Uh, it's just his body language here. It is, it's telling a lot, but it also is like very minimal.

[01:01:19] And it's like, he's not doing a lot, but I can see a lot in this movement. And it, very strong. Love the colors. Yeah. Leg placement. Leg placement is great. He can maneuver any way he wants to go. He's flirting with me. So I feel like he's going to be a flirt. I feel like he's going to have a big personality.

[01:01:44] Again, if I am getting jam jam vibes from this, we know how it ultimately worked out for a jam jam. And so I am, again, I'm loving him. Um, I do know that he is Persian. And I had talked about this before. I grew up watching Shaz of Sunset. Oh. And I, like, I just, I feel like I connect with him.

[01:02:08] And he's, this probably is, yeah. This is a really good Issa look pose. I'm just saying, like, I can't even look at his face. Can we bring his face back yet or no? Okay. And it's like, when we look at it from far away, it doesn't really look like he's doing much in the face. But then when you zoom in on the face, it's like, he is like, he is addressing me with his eyes.

[01:02:36] And he's smiling that beard. Bryce. Hey, what's going on, buddy? It's me, Shaheen. Listen, you see those eyes? And then the fact that we get in closer, we can see that they like honey brown. Ooh. Oh, this man is dangerous. Thank you for all the kind words, Bryce. This is also another sad calendar. Is he married? Do we know?

[01:03:06] We have to look that up. I don't think so. I don't know if this is Mrs. Shaheen. Oh. Mm-hmm. Wow. Okay. There's about to be a Mrs. Shaheen. Another Mrs. Shaheen, too. Yeah, this is great. I mean, it is, it's the effortless that he's giving us. And I'm not trying to harp on him too much. Because I just, again, I, but it's the effortless. When we get into, like, the hip action. Like, his hands are placed.

[01:03:35] And here's another thing I would just want to point out. So I can see that his hands aren't evenly aligned, right? They're a little off. But you see how we can't really tell? So it's not a huge thing. It's like... Doesn't bother you, like with Camilla. Doesn't bother me as much. And it's like he's giving that he's hands on the hips to the side. Right. But it's really hands on the hips straight at us. Mm-hmm. Yeah. He, um...

[01:04:04] It's almost too perfect for me. Oh. It's... Yeah. Well, he's making it to the next level. But it's almost too perfect for me. Okay. We put him through. All right. Next up, after Shaheen, it's going to be a little bit of a surprise. Okay. When we see Star. We'll be seeing stars when we see her. Oh. Okay. Here she is. Star. Oh, yeah.

[01:04:35] Okay. And Star has a big season of vertical stripes. Maybe a vertical pattern. And then also some black shorts. Mm-hmm. Not sure what that material is. It's giving a little, like, the... I don't want to say the... Arms folded. Shhh. Right. Arms folded. Strong posture. Mm-hmm. They have their locks up, giving us a little style.

[01:05:01] First of all, I get very much main character energy from Star. Star is a star? She is very much... You can't be named Star and not be... Main character. And not be a star. I feel like... Otherwise, her name would be Coast Star. Oh. That's not her name. Well, right. But it's like... What's another name?

[01:05:31] Like, what would you name your kid? Extra? Extra, yeah. Especially if they're not that extra. I don't think you would name a firstborn extra, though. Uh... Because, like, they're gonna have extra. But, okay. But back to the star. Yeah. I like star. Again, quintessential hands across the arms. However, it's giving me Kevin vibes up top a little bit.

[01:05:59] Like, I'm not believing this pose that star has. It's like, star is a star. But I'm not believing it. Like, it almost feels... I don't... It's hard to explain. And I... Like, we will have to watch as the season goes on. And there's no doubt that star is a big energy. But I feel like this pose... Can we see the hands? Can we zoom in? Like, uh... Can we just go a little closer? Okay. Let me just see. What is the...

[01:06:28] Like, uh... Zoom in on that hand. Enhance. Enhance. Yeah. So, we do see a little remnants of a thumb. Mm-hmm. We see, like, the thumb muscle. Mm-hmm. Okay. We see a cross. Yeah. Okay. So, we know star is religious. But again, it's like a... It's almost like nervousness. Yeah. Like, she's, like, holding her breath. And so, that makes me nervous. Because, well, you gotta breathe. Yeah. But I also feel like she's trying to, like, signal to us. Like, that pinky.

[01:06:57] I feel like that pinky is saying, like... Hey. Bryce. Right. Pick me. Like... You see the pinky? Yeah. Like, the pinky. I also love the patterns. Uh... But... It's a strong pose. But I'm just nervous. Because I feel like with star's big energy and persona... Mm-hmm. I don't know. Okay. Star has tattoos. How's the legs? The legs are pretty good. She's, like, tilted to the side.

[01:07:26] So, I'd like a little more versatility. But if someone were coming for her behind or on the side, she'd have enough time to maneuver. She's planted. Yeah. She's planted. So, she's good. I mean, I like star. It's just, like, I'm getting, like, that same vibe with Kevin where it's, like... In the photo, this is a quintessential winner photo. But it's... Something isn't selling it to me.

[01:07:55] I don't know what it is. I'm, like, nervous for star because it's, like, I love so much and so much I can't wait to see. But I'm just a little nervous. I don't know. Do you... You picking up on that energy that I'm saying? Or I don't know. I don't know. I feel like that she was pretty loose in the conversation I saw her have with Mike Bloom. So, I do see what you're saying about... I don't think that she has, like, the Kevin, you know, tightness as much. But I do see it a little bit here. Right.

[01:08:24] And again, you could be different on the interviews. But what I'm telling you is this... When you take this photo, this photo... It seals the deal. Okay. All right. But... Love star, though. All right. Next up is Stephanie. Stephanie is a big personality. Okay. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Stephanie. And here she is with a blue dress. Okay. Blue dress.

[01:08:54] Like the patterns. Hands on the hips. Very strong pose. Right? But... She's not giving it to us strongly. Right? And so it's, like, lowering her threat level. I love the dress pattern. Love the hair to the front. Stephanie... Stephanie seems like a vibe. I feel like, you know, gets along with people. She's cool. But again, Stephanie is telling us she's come to play.

[01:09:22] And it seems natural. It seems like... She gets it. Almost... She's giving me... I'm getting Cassidy vibes. Yeah, I could see that a little bit. Yeah, but this is... I mean, I like... Do we see... I don't see any thumbs from this angle. Strong pose. Strong pose. No thumbs. I could see Cassidy, Kenzie type of vibes. Mm-hmm.

[01:09:52] Yeah. I mean, I... Can I see her feet? Again, like... Paper. Okay. Is that a heel off the ground, Bryce? That's a heel up. That is a heel up. But a heel up means a toe down. Mm-hmm. And so sometimes... She's 10 toes down. She's... Okay. She's 10 toes down. So I just don't know if that 10 toes down... Because sometimes when you're 10 toes down... It's 50% chance you're either right or you're wrong.

[01:10:23] So I don't know. But this is a really strong pose. I wonder if Stephanie was like a dancer or something. Mm-hmm. To have that toe up or heel up, toe down. Okay. Anything else about Stephanie? I like her. Strong pose. Do you put anything into like the background that they put them against in their pictures? I don't think that they get to pick it. Does that say anything to you? No. Mm-hmm.

[01:10:52] Because I feel like also it's like you don't get to pick your background. Like you got to make it pop. You got to make it work. And so, yeah. Okay. This almost looks photoshopped in how great it looks. But yeah, I like Stephanie. This is a good pose. I... Okay. We can add Stephanie to the list. Okay. Putting Stephanie through. Okay. She is number seven on the list. Okay. And then finally, one more person.

[01:11:22] Let's talk about Thomas. Okay. Thomas got another pattern shirt. Got some dark brown khaki shorts. Probably a decent length. Hands in pockets, but thumbs are out. Thumbs are out. Love this shirt though. Yeah. Love that he's like directly looking at us, smiling. Again, very unassuming. Yeah.

[01:11:50] Thomas gives me very like unassuming, but like I don't... That doesn't sway me. Interesting. Hands in the pockets. But again, it's a... He is signaling with his shoulders, right? His shoulders are... Mm-hmm. In my opinion, what I'm saying, this is the strong part. My hands in the pocket. Hey, I'm cool. What's up guys? What's going on? But them shoulders are like, you know, ready to go.

[01:12:17] And so you wouldn't think from having his hand in his pocket that this is an action pose. But really, it's like, it's hiding the fact that he's in action mode. So I like this. I think that Thomas' threat level will be low. I think shorts are a great level above the knee. I like how it matches so well with the green and brown shirt.

[01:12:43] It's kind of similar to a lot of other people's shorts. However, Thomas has made the decision to pair it with this shirt and it makes it just pop even more. So I feel like Thomas, given what... Given with what he is working with on the island, I feel like Thomas is going to be able to pop. I really like Thomas and I want to move him to the next level because there's something interesting about him. But I am nervous with them two thumbs. Mm-hmm.

[01:13:13] Them two thumbs out and like his shoulders ready to go. It's like, I... Thomas, I can't move you forward with the thumbs. But I really like Thomas and I feel like... So you're moving him forward or not? I don't... Because it's like in this new era... With all due respect to Thomas, I feel like that, you know, he could be honorable mention. Okay. Okay? All right. We'll give him an honorable mention. Honorable mention. Okay. All right. So let me just talk through...

[01:13:43] Because you got seven people already that you're talking about. Well, here's the thing. I... I know the two people that I've had the most reaction to. Yes. Okay. So I have to... I feel like I know one of them. Okay. All right. So let me go back to... Okay. So let's just... Let's talk about the guys first. Okay. Okay. All right. Sam, can you... First of all was Joe. Oh. Oh, that's right. Dominic. Mm-hmm. Okay.

[01:14:11] With Joe, Kevin, and Shaheen were the three people that you talked about. The three guys that you put through. Okay. Here was Joe one more time. Okay. Like Joe. Okay. Strong. You said the... Like a young Dama Bate. Yes. Younger Dama Bate. Uh... Then Kevin. Remember Kevin? Who... You know... Yes. Had a very friendly smile, but...

[01:14:41] Was he a little too closed off? A little. A little bit. And of course, who can forget the impression that Shaheen made on Bryce? Well, if it's out of those three... Those were the three men... Okay. ...you were most impressed with. Okay. So we're going to take Shaheen to the next level. Okay. But Shaheen... Sam, can we just zoom in on Shaheen for a second?

[01:15:10] This is a great photo. Mm-hmm. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Bryce, thank you so much. This is such a great honor. It was my dream to be on Survivor. But now to be crowned the winner of the men for Issa Look.

[01:15:39] This is truly the greatest day of my life. Why am I really nervous, though? Thank you. Thank you so much, Bryce. You are welcome. I appreciate you. Thank you for everything you do for the Survivor community. I really hope that everybody subscribes to your podcast this week at purplepantspodcast.com. It's your birthday. Thank you. I feel like I'm the one that gets a gift every time a new podcast comes out. Thank you, Bryce.

[01:16:09] All right. Thank you, Sam. All right. Thank you. All right. That's all right. But we'll see who's the ultimate winner. Well, wait. Don't I... Are you a man and a woman? Is that what you do? Okay. Well... I feel like it was Saul last season. It was Saul last season. You were the first on the Saul train. You were... Thank Robert. Thank you. You got it popping. So, the Issa Look is a science. It's not a formulated science.

[01:16:38] But it knows. And so, although I didn't get the winner right, we got Saul right. And that's all that matters. Okay. Because he was a rock star. Um... And then, who do I have as... Who did I... Okay. First up... Okay. Chrissy was number one. Yeah. That's my girl. Okay. All right. Chrissy. Remember she had the blue shirt that she tied off. Okay. Who can forget? Chrissy.

[01:17:09] Love Chrissy. Okay. Chrissy wants to give fun aunt. Wait. Did she write that? She did. Okay. Okay. All right. Eva. She doesn't want to be the mom. She wants to be auntie. Okay. Drop them kids. Oh. All right. Then here's Eva. Okay. Oh. Forgot about Eva. Okay. Not forgot about it. But like... Oh. Okay. Eva's a strong one. All right.

[01:17:39] Then Mary. Ah. Mary had the crochet. The crochet. Mm-hmm. Okay. Here comes... All right. Here's Mary. Okay. And then Stephanie was number four. Okay. Stephanie was the blue. Okay. I, uh... Finally is... It's the... For the ladies... The ladies... It's gotta be the cool aunt.

[01:18:09] Okay. Let's bring up... Let's bring Chrissy back. Okay? So... Yeah. It would have to be... If it's a look chooses a man and a woman, it would have to be... The king and the queen of... It's a look. Okay. And what is it? Is it just... Is it the pose? Is it the shirt? Is it the vibe? It's just the vibe. Right? Like, I feel like... If I was 15 at Aunt Chrissy's in the summer down the shore... Mm-hmm.

[01:18:38] If I wanted to have a little glass of Moscato, I don't think Chrissy would tell Barb. Like, I just... There's just like, you know... But also, it's like, Chrissy means business, though. Mm-hmm. And I feel like there's just some... There's something about her. And I keep saying, it's the older women, they... We haven't had... And again, Aunt Chrissy is not older, but I'm just saying, in the scheme of things, like, you know, we've had... What was her name? Not Helen. What was the name with the girl from Canada

[01:19:07] who won Erica? What was... Erica's runner-up? Oh. Oh, I didn't know that was gonna be a quiz. Oh, sorry. What's her name? So it's an S, right? Heather. We had Heather. We had Mama Tina. Mm-hmm. Then last season, we had Sue. Mm-hmm. So I'm just saying, Chrissy could take him home. Chrissy could take it home. Mm-hmm. Yep. Okay.

[01:19:37] So those are my men and women pick. But my overall is the look has to go to Shasha because... Y'all gotta give him a nickname. Yeah. Quick. All right. Because he, like, this is similarly to how Jam Jam stole my heart with his... It's a look pose, like... Shaheen's pose is like... It's flawless. Mm-hmm. And it has so much attitude. Flawless victory.

[01:20:07] It has... It just has a lot, but it, like, by the eye, you wouldn't see much, but... Mm-hmm. Yeah. For it's a look, it's gotta be him. Yeah. Okay. Here he is, Shaheen. All right. Crowned the winner overall of it's a look, Survivor 48. Wow. We're right. I just can't believe, like, whenever... Survivor 48 is a look, like, oh, we've done a lot of these

[01:20:37] and they just get better and better each year. Well, you're getting better at it. I am. The players are making it hard. Mm-hmm. They're making me work for my birthday. Okay? On his damn birthday, he had to show up and work and podcast. I do it again and again and again. But this is so much fun. But now it's like, whenever we do it's a look, it's always like, I need to see how things are going to pan out. And one of my favorite pastimes

[01:21:06] are during the off seasons or when the season ends. I always love to go back and listen to it's a look again. Yes. And after we have seen, like, the complete arcs of people seeing if what I was picking up on was right or if... And I will say that I cannot even remember a time where, like, okay, that they're not always going to win, but I cannot remember a time where you picked somebody and they were just like total, you know, bombed out for, you know, you know,

[01:21:36] first couple episodes. What a disaster. I don't think that that person has ever been and it's a look pick. And maybe somebody in the comments would be like, well, actually, but you have a tremendous track record. I appreciate that. And I, uh, I remember one season people were trying to say that I was spoiled. Baby, I don't play about spoilers. I love Survivor. It is like, I like, the one joy that I have is what, like, like, yeah, I don't play this.

[01:22:06] Bryce is going to go look up the spoilers so he can, uh, nail the Issa look pick. Okay. It's not, not that deep. But I, uh, I am excited though, uh, to see who will be joining the illustrious third boot this season. Yes. Um, because I think it's important to celebrate, uh, our third boots because, you know, I've helped pave the way for third boots. And even if you go out early, it doesn't matter. It's what you, what you do with it. That's right.

[01:22:35] What you do with it. Survivor don't make you, well, you got an amazing community. And I just think, I always just love to reinforce that because as a former pre-merger, uh, I know what those feelings are like and it can consume you. But you also just have to realize that like, it's a part of the game and it's like, there's an amazing community that you can tap into. And because of people like you, Robert, who have built communities like RHAP, there's just so much going on. And so I just want to say, keep everyone's head up. I remember this time

[01:23:03] during Survivor Kageyan five years ago and the pre-season was my favorite time because nobody knew nothing about nothing. Like we all were on the same level, which is why I love to do it. It's a look because it's silly and it's fun, but I hope that they feel celebrated. And, uh, it's, and to the future early boots that there really is room for everybody in this community when you love Survivor and you love to be a part of it. And, you know, I think that,

[01:23:33] uh, you know, uh, forget about what you've done, uh, everything you've done, but, people like Brandon Donlan, Zach, and Jalinski, and people that are just, you know, beloved people in this community who have taken, you know, uh, lemons and made lemonade. Absolutely. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So, so whoever. Yeah. Enjoy the ride. Yep. Okay. All right.

[01:24:04] So, Bryce, it's the Bryce Birthday Bash. When people are subscribed to the Purple Pants Podcast at purplepantspodcast.com, what are they going to hear in the next couple of days? Yes.

I, I had to say that. I mean, of course, you know, we know, Survivor, we don't play about, but I, the Amazing Race is fun. It's so interesting. So I'm super excited. Brooke and I are kicking off our season coverage with a first look that will be coming out tomorrow. We've got a Barb's message. We've got some Survivor news. We're doing a fun Survivor news draft
