Black Cartoon Survivor: Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers | Simulation

[00:00:18] And welcome back to Recap Kickback for a special Black History Month production here. My name is Chappelle and I will be your host as we go through what we are calling the Cartoon Clash, colon, Black History Month Brant Steele. I think that's what it's called right now, but we're workshopping that. We're gonna get that together. As you know, it's Black History Month. We are here to celebrate all things Black, including some incredible characters as well.

[00:00:45] And so with me, I had to have two incredible characters to go through this journey as we discover which of these Black cartoon characters will be the sole survivor. With me first, my co-host from the Abbott Elementary Recaps that we do every other week here on Recap Kickback, Gia. Gia, welcome back. Chappelle, I feel like our entire friendship has been leading to this moment.

[00:01:10] Not to be dramatic about how amazing I think this is going to turn, but like this, this has been a work in progress for a long time. And I am so glad we are finally here to have what I think will be the first of many Brant Steels moving forward. Oh yeah, we're gonna explain all of this to everybody who's listening, who's confused, but we got some things in store. This is gonna be so much fun. Also with us, one of the kings of Brant Steel, Isaiah A. Ballbangers is back.

[00:01:39] You guys brought me in for the perfect thing. Like you got Black people in cartoons. I love both of them. I had to bring my faded ass shirt here, you know, but it's okay. Like I gotta represent my man Gerald and everything. I'm excited. I'm really have to do this. This is my life's work all coming together. So let's do this. I feel like we got the perfect team here for this. And so, yeah, for the people who are not understanding what's going on here, like what are you talking about? Who's Brant Steel? This is an assignment where we are going to simulate a season of Survivor

[00:02:08] using the Black cartoon characters in front of us. So if you are not watching this on YouTube, what are you doing? Check out our YouTube page, youtube.com slash at recap kickback to see the video format of this. But if you're listening online, it's gonna be fun too, uh, because, uh, we're gonna talk you through all the moves that these cartoon characters make. And Gia, we have a hell of a roster here. Now tell the people how we come up with this concept.

[00:02:32] Okay. So first, when we originally said we were going to do this, we weren't thinking about it that deeply, right? We said we're probably just going to pick like 20, 18 to 20 cartoon characters that we want to see in this situation and put them through a random Survivor season simulator. But then we were like, well, what if we did a theme?

[00:02:56] And then I texted, but what if we do Heroes, Healers and Hustlers? And the ideas started rolling in here. So this is where we started to come up with this cast here. And we decided, no, this is actually the perfect theme for this type of show because we know that, you know, some of these characters do fit fairly well into one of these categories. Like we have black cartoon characters that are heroes. We have some

[00:03:25] that are treated more as healers on their show. And we definitely have a strong cast of Hustlers in here. So I am so excited to start moving forward with this cast, but like this was a labor of love. And before anybody says, but what about X, Y, and Z? Couple things. First, we had to make the decision

[00:03:49] that we were only going with TV shows here. I love me some Princess and the Frog, right? Like there are a couple of movie characters in here that I would have loved to be part of it. But the pool of these characters was already too big for our first of what we hope to be many. I think this is a really strong starting cast. It's like our Borneo of what will clearly be a 48 season plus franchise moving

[00:04:17] forward. At least confirmed for 50 seasons already, I assume. Yeah, that's a safe assumption. G is right. We have the cartoon characters in front of us and we are going to make them play Survivor using a technology called Brant Steel. It happens all the time. G has done a bunch of them. I know Isaiah has done them. And so I've got these two people who are going to help us go through these iconic cartoon characters and find out who would be the best of the best. Now, mind you, this is simulated. We don't

[00:04:44] know the results. And so we're going to be going through those with you as we go on. Isaiah, is there anything else we need to know before starting the Brant Steel? We're here for chaos and entertainment, nothing else. So I'm just ready to jump on in. And Gio, with this being our Borneo, we are going to try to track some of these alliances and like these, uh, these people who start to get along because we're coming in assuming these people don't know each other for the most part, right? They don't

[00:05:09] have any preexisting alliances that we know of, but after this one, there's going to be some lore that we're going to call back to in the future. And, uh, Brant Steel doesn't only do Survivor. You can do the Hunger Games. You can do Big Brother. You can do a lot of different games. And so we're going to put these people to the Ringer, Gia. Oh, absolutely. And for people that are wondering, you know, why we came up with this cast, why this is the cast we chose, we'll talk a little bit about our

[00:05:34] process as we start introducing the cast itself. But also we need to, you know, like we want to keep it concise. We know that we want to make this a series. We want to do more of these in the future. So if you're wondering why is X, Y, and Z not in this cast, let us know who you want to see. I say like, definitely give us some comments about who you were happy to see, who you want to see play

[00:06:00] again, who you would like to see in the future that is not included in here, but just know that we, you know, we came up with the best cast that we could given our limitations in that we could only pick 18 characters. And we do, we would love to hear what you think for the future as well. Yeah. So let's get into the cast. All right. Isaiah, I'm going to call, we're going to start with the

[00:06:26] heroes tribe. Okay. And so we just want to give everybody a brief introduction to these black cartoon characters in case you don't know who they are, in case you're not very familiar and these, these aren't your people. And so starting up number one on our list, Craig from Craig of the Creek. And, um, so I know Craig of the Creek as a black ass cartoon show, but it's a little bit younger than me. Are either y'all familiar with Craig of the Creek intimately? So I, when we were originally

[00:06:55] making this cast, we had another person in here that I'm sure we'll get a lot of comments about why the other person was not included, but I, this was Isaiah's recommendation here. And I think it's a good choice. It's a newer cartoon. Um, Craig's or Isaiah says Craig is a good fit for this tribe. So I'm going to take his word for it here. So, um, I do think that like this, I don't have a lot of knowledge about

[00:07:24] Craig of the Creek as a show. I do want to watch it at some point, but I did not have time to get into the lore before we started this. So I'm going to, I'm going to bring it over to Isaiah here. Without making it too complicated. We, we needed some new school representation. So you got my man, Craig, uh, he's very adventurous. Uh, his, his whole thing with him and his friends is basically like role-playing and like, uh, the little forest area or whatever is a leader goes through his

[00:07:53] adventures. He has his rivals and everything, but he's all family oriented. He has a, he's, good with his parents and his brothers. Um, he has a whole lot of friends. Everyone messes with Craig. So that's basically the whole thing. He is, he's big with his imagination. And I think he's perfect for this tribe because we need that spontaneous energy for our heroes tribe. You know, there's a lot of seriousness and honor over here. We need that kind of animated

[00:08:19] feeling for our heroes tribe. So he brings the youth, you know? So I think he's a perfect fit for over here. He's 10 years old. He from Baltimore, you know, Craig, Craig outside, uh, literally at the creek. And so, uh, it's going to be fun to watch Isaiah. Who's next on our heroes tribe? All right. So next on our heroes tribe is from Titan's tower. Oh God. Cyborg. Booyah.

[00:08:47] Now Cyborg, obviously a hero, right? Gia. Oh yeah. Like it's literally, come on now. Like he is, he is the black teen Titan. I don't know that other show that he's in, um, the remake. I like Titans go man. I haven't seen it. So I, I've only seen like very brief clips of it from when my youngest brothers would watch it way back when,

[00:09:12] you know, like as like Cartoon Network viewings on here. So I don't know the show, but I know Cyborg from the original teen Titans. Okay. Like the OG version of it. So that is the teen Titans that I like, this is a cyborg that I remember that I will be viewing in this France deal.

[00:09:37] Oh yeah. And, uh, first, before we get too far from Cyborg, Isaiah is beast boy black garden. No, he's not. He's not. He's, uh, he's mutated because in young justice, he, uh, not to go too far off, but like he got mutated or whatever with Martian blood. He's like a white kid. So no, he's not. I would like to claim like he was, but he's not, his name is Garfield.

[00:10:01] Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm going to get a little off track here. Um, Chappelle, when we are last, either our last or second to last Abbott elementary, uh, show, I asked a very controversial question of the two main veggie tail characters. Do we think which one of them is black, right? Yeah. Of our for our ambiguously black bracket. And I said that I think it's Bob the tomato because I truly think

[00:10:29] Larry, the cucumber is just a silly white guy, right? Yeah. We love that. We love to see that in there, but I did pull my family and they were largely in agreement with me had a few defectors, but if we're thinking about for ambiguously black characters moving forward, I do think, you know, this is something that we want to consider. Although neither Bob or Larry made the heroes, healers, hustlers version of this. Yeah. Not, not their game to play. Uh, but yeah,

[00:10:58] Cyborg from Teen Titans, uh, is a hero. I, he, this is the tribe he needed to be on. It makes total sense. Isaiah, who do we have next? All right. The next person we have for our Brant Steel, all the way from space is Garnet from Steven Universe. Hey, now look at this Afro. This is a black queen. She's black. I love Garnet because, because Garnet is technically two people, but, or two

[00:11:27] rocks. Sorry. But, um, regardless, uh, she's black. All right. She's queen. She has so many great moments and she is like the vice oriented. She's awesome. Garnet is her. So Garnet had to be on this cast. I was so scared that you guys weren't in tune with like new school stuff. I was like, I was like, where's Garnet? And I started to listen. I'm like, all right. She's like, you know what they talking about. So shout out to Garnet.

[00:11:52] Oh no. I have watched some Steven Universe in my day. Garnet is black. She is voiced by Estelle. So she is very black. Real. And she is very much involved and a member of this cast. Yeah. Notice Garnet not excluded for being racially ambiguous. I think we all unanimously have agreed that this is, this is a black person. So she is not racially ambiguous. She is black. I think like,

[00:12:18] I will hear your arguments for Piccolo, but I think we all just universally agree that, that he is black, but like Garnet is black. There is nothing ambiguous about, about this. I'm sorry. Yeah. Nope. You're right about that. Uh, if you haven't checked out, checked out Steven Universe, go check it out. It's a fun show. It really is. And I think it's underrated. Yeah. I don't think people talk about it enough. So, uh, check that out. I love Steven Universe. Definitely check it out. Uh, I used to watch theory videos every week when

[00:12:47] I was waiting for episodes. It was, it was insane. It felt like anime, you know? So I watched Steven Universe. Yeah. Check it out. All right. We have Cyborg. We had, um, Craig. And now we have Garnet. Who is fourth on our list of heroes? Bringing my guy, the guy on my t-shirt, Gerald. Yes. For the heroes team. Yes. Yes. Okay. Gerald Johanson here. Yeah. Like Isaiah is

[00:13:16] sporting the, the Gerald t-shirt. Gerald with the big fro. Gerald from, uh, uh, PS 118. Gerald from the stoop out here with Arnold. Um, this, Gerald is one of the blackest cartoon characters I've ever seen in my life. Like Gerald, everything about Gerald is just so cool and chill. Like he, um, he got a boy named Fuzzy Slippers who always got the T. Like, he's like, all right, I talked to Fuzzy Slippers and he laced me up. He's like, everybody need a friend like Gerald. A real one from day one.

[00:13:46] This is, this is what makes my heart smile to you. I'm so happy to see him here. And I'm thinking Gerald might be my winner pick. I think this is a good choice for a winner picks. Gerald is solid. He is a very even temper. He's like very level-headed. I do think he has the smarts to make it far. His one concern may be some of the people on his original tribe are crazy. So I think that may be,

[00:14:13] uh, crazy in a positive way, but also, you know, I think that we could be, see kind of a clash of who wants to be the heroist of the hero tribe, the most hero, if you will. I think, you know, and we often think of Gerald as the epitome of a black friend, but like the, the black best friend trope here.

[00:14:36] But I felt very strongly about casting, uh, Gerald on the hero's tribe, because it does feel like he has some really heroic moments here. Um, whereas another cartoon best friend that we will talk about in the hustlers tribe, I felt more of about, you know, he, he's had some moments, but he's a hustler.

[00:15:00] Like he, the, the playground in which he came up, uh, required him to be a hustler. So we'll get into it more when we get to our final tribe here. All right. Isaiah, who's next on the list? All right. Uh, one of, I'm sure Gia's excited for this one. One of the most robbed players for Total Drama Island. Lashana.

[00:15:25] So I have never seen Total Drama Island at all. The one thing I know is that Lashana was robbed. I've known that since the day it happened and I've never let it go. And I preach it like I've seen it with my own eyes. Isaiah, who is this lady? She is amazing. She is, uh, a great player in Total Drama. And she basically, spoiler alert, gets robbed by a very stupid twist on the eliminated players Island where it's like,

[00:15:55] Hey, who do you guys want to see win or go home? And everyone said, I don't want to see Lashana go home. And everyone kept saying her name and it's like, wait, don't say her name. She'll get eliminated. They just kept saying her name by accident. She got eliminated. She should have won the season. Uh, she has so much swag. She has so much charisma. Everybody loves her. The story of Total Drama Island. Literally. The story of Total Drama. She had a little hiccup in action, but we don't talk about that. It's all right. We love Lashana.

[00:16:24] No, no, no. We're not talking about, listen, honestly, they, they should, first of all, in action, they should have all sucked it up because they all did way worse than talk shit like Lashana did. So I'm sorry. Like a couple of them have almost murdered people. So Lashana talking shit is very minor. So I'm just saying they should have gotten over it. Total Drama is really interesting

[00:16:48] to me because there are quite a few black characters on the show that I feel very strongly about bringing into a Brant Steel situation. Um, Isaiah and I, you know, I know we're both like very big fans of lightning. Um, I would love to see like characters like Cam come back, Damien and Bowie from the, uh, new reboot version of the show. I would love to see all of them come back, but if we're talking

[00:17:15] about, we need one representative from Total Drama, it has to be Lashana. If only for how amazing she played in her first season. So obviously my little, uh, subtitle here is team Lashana. I'm hoping that she goes far here. I hope I did not curse her to be an early boot by saying that I'm team Lashana, but yes, I feel very strongly about Lashana being on this cast and she's a hero

[00:17:41] to me. Okay. I don't need to hear any other reasons for what, what other tribes she should be. She is my hero and that's what matters here. Chappelle, I was going to say, I know you haven't seen Total Drama. This show is why I watched Big Brother Survivor. I've watched this before that. And that's what got me into it. And Lashana's a big reason. We love Lashana over here. Yes. All right. All right. Let's see what she can do. Isaiah, who is our last member of the

[00:18:06] heroes tribe? I believe we're down to our last spot. We got another teenager. It's my man Virgil, AKA Static Shock from the DC universe. So Static is our last member over here. Okay. I just personally feel like if we didn't include him, there would have been riots.

[00:18:30] Yeah. Like I think of all of them, if we're picking a, a, uh, like mascot of each tribe, this is our hero mascot here. Um, I like, we have to include Static Shock. I'm sorry. Yeah. Superhero Static Shock, uh, for the ones who know, they know, uh, that cartoon came out on the scene, uh, on the scene and it just took the world by storm. I don't even think it was a comic before

[00:18:56] the cartoon, the cartoon happened. And then they went and wrote comics about the cartoon. Cause that's how real it was. Okay. So the Static Shock love is real here and, um, it should be set up pretty fine here on this tribe, but we have to get to our next tribe. We still got 20 more people to time. Well, what? 10 more people to talk about, uh, what? 12. So yeah, let's get into our healers tribe. Now, when you say healers, what do you mean by that? Especially for the criteria that we decided

[00:19:24] on when making these tribes, right? A healer could mean many things. I think one of these members is a literal healer and we will get into that because I'm very excited to talk about that will be our mascot of the healers tribe. But also I think we also had to look at this as was this character a calming presence on their tribe. Did they help fix situations that may have arose in their

[00:19:53] respective, uh, shows? Are they doing a lot of emotional labor here? We will get into one of them about how I feel like they did more than they needed to with them messy ass people, but that's okay. So people that are like calming presence or people that are a voice of reason often, I think that is a, like more of what we're looking for in terms of our healer criteria. Then there are some characters

[00:20:22] that we left out that I think would also be literal healers in that, in their professions or in their role in their show. So, you know, we took a little bit of creative liberty with the healer term, but I'm very happy with the tribe, how the tribe stacks up here. And I think we may even if they can win some immunities, I think this is our strongest strategic tribe overall.

[00:20:53] Okay. Well, if static shock is the mascot for the heroes, I need you to bring up the mascot for the healers. And for me, that's Dr. McStuffins. She's here, y'all. She's here and she's ready to take the world by storm. Dr. McStuffins had my little niece in a blender. Okay. That's all she wanted to talk about. I was like, who is Dr. McStuffins? You know, and then I go and look, I'll say, I got this little black girl doctor. She operating on the, uh, on the, the stuffed animals and stuff like that.

[00:21:19] Turn it up. I give Dr. McStuffins her things. Okay. So I'm happy. I could not be happier with this pick. Uh, again, Gerald was my standout for the heroes, but Dr. McStuffins, man, if she can't, who go, who go target Dr. McStuffins? Her first name is Doc. Like, just think about Doc. Like, this lady is a doctor. She heals. Right. She's going to be an amazing villain. I can't wait for

[00:21:46] this. Like, she's going to ruin everybody. You know what? I'm supporting our toxic queen for as long as we need to. And also, I do think like, I think there were two characters. We haven't gotten to the other one yet because we haven't gotten to the Hustlers tribe, but there were two characters when we decided on this theme that we knew were a lot, not just for the season before

[00:22:10] their respective tribe. And then Doc McStuffins was our confirmed members. Like we're not doing this theme without Doc McStuffins here. Yeah. Uh, so let's move on to another person who's in the medical field. I would say, at least from my point of view, Isaiah, bring me Keisha. Bring me Keisha from the magic school bus. And look, the reason why, first of all, Keisha, a real one. Okay. For the, for a cartoon to be bold enough to name this little girl, Keisha was real. All right. Number

[00:22:39] one, but also the magic school bus is that they've done so many adventures. They have gone inside of people. They literally healed. I think they went inside of Arnold. Uh, and Keisha was right there the whole time, holding it down right there behind Ms. Frizzle. Always look, always on the scene. I had to make sure Keisha was represented as one of the healers here. Cause we look, we don't have a lot of, uh, STEM representation here and the black cartoon characters. So let's get that together.

[00:23:04] Y'all clean that up. Bring us more options, more doctors. This is one of the few I'm actually going on blind. Cause I did watch the magic school bus when I was younger, but like not religiously. So I'm curious to see what she's going to do. You're missing out. This was fourth grade science class for me. We are well versed in the magic school bus floor here. Yeah. So let's see what Keisha can do. Yeah. And Keisha was never the one really getting into some of the shenanigans that

[00:23:30] the other students would get into here. So she had her moments, but I think healer is the appropriate tribe for her. And she is some of that representation for like old school children cartoons. Yeah. All right. Isaiah, who's next on the healers tribe? All right. We're going to bring in chef from South Park. Now this is an inspired choice. Gia, uh, why is chef a healer?

[00:23:57] I feel so strongly about chef, not just being, and I am a South park early like South park got me through college. Okay. Like undergrad and graduate school. Let me tell you. So I feel very strongly about this choice, but also that, you know, we have two really main characters in the South park

[00:24:23] universe that are black. Right. And that's Tolkien and that chef. We have not forgotten about Tolkien. Okay. We love Tolkien. This was just not his time. And I, there was only one show here that I felt really strongly about having two representatives from there because we have not gotten into them yet, but they're both showing up here. And there's a reason that they both need to be there.

[00:24:49] But chef is, and this is kind of what I was talking about when we were talking about the, uh, non-conventional healers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The non-conventional healers here because chef is really like, he's the heart of South park in a lot of episodes. He's an adult that the kids trust and know to go to the main four. If they are in a situation in the earlier seasons that they need to talk to an adult about chef is going to be their first pick.

[00:25:17] He's not always the most helpful, but in terms of if you have seen South park, you know, the majority of the adults in this situation are idiots, right? And they are not going to be helpful. That is like the main concern in South park is that the adults are not helpful. Chef is one of the only adults here that they trust. He often was one of the characters that gave them actual life lessons in the show or would help save the day, save the boys in the situation

[00:25:46] with helping them for a situation. It's really sad that we don't get him anymore because of the unfortunate death of Isaac Hayes, rest in peace to him and rest in peace to the character chef. But even the episode where chef dies because, um, Isaac or sorry, Isaac Hayes, I think it's that Isaiah Hayes, but Isaac Hayes, I said Isaac. Okay. Yeah. Um, so even the show after the show,

[00:26:15] there were some really unfortunate circumstances surrounding, um, Isaac Hayes leaving the show and, um, not the show creators, not really knowing how to proceed because of the nature of his exit in here. They got a little more information after his death, but even the exit that we have with chef is really heartfelt, really emotional, really shows that like the boys are really mourning the loss of

[00:26:41] somebody that they hold dear here. So chef is a healer to me. I think we could probably fit him into any of these categories and make a case for chef. And there were two chef characters that are both black that I wanted to have in this show today is not the other chef's day because of the one character per show rule that we tried to stick to as much as possible. But

[00:27:06] I do feel strongly about chef being here and I feel strongly about him being in the healers tribe here. All right. Isaiah, who's next? All right. Moving on. We have one of the two that Gia was just referencing. We got Huey Freeman. Isaiah, tell us about Huey. We talked to me and Mari and Tyrone actually talked about the boondocks here on recap kickback. So some people might be familiar with it,

[00:27:34] but for the people who missed it, is Huey a healer? I don't really know if he should be a healer because I think I will put him more like a hero or a hustler than a healer. Well, I actually wanted to ask you guys, why'd you guys put him in the healer category? Gia, go for it. For the same reason that I think we put chef and a couple other people in here. He's the voice of reason when we often get

[00:27:58] some perspective from spoiler alerts for the hustler tribe. His brother is on there. There is on there. So why Riley has a lot of, let's say, controversial opinions sometimes or just like outright nonsense that he says. Huey is the voice of reason. He likes to think things through. He isn't always making the right decision. Like it's not a cartoon if he's always right. Like it's not the show we know and

[00:28:28] love if he's always right. But he is treated more as the voice of reason. He's the perspective that we get a lot more of here. So I felt very strongly about having Huey and Riley in here. And if Riley's going to be a hustler, Huey has to be a healer. I could see an argument for putting him in the hero, but the heroes tribe, we already, we were pretty stacked over there. So Huey to the healers,

[00:28:56] you go. Oh yeah. Huey Freeman from the boondocks. Isaiah, what's that? What's next? All right. So I actually am not familiar with this character. So I'm excited to hear about her. It is Jodi Landon. Yes. This is from Daria. Yeah. This is Daria's black friend, Gia. Tell us about

[00:29:15] Jodi. I love Jodi. I've seen every episode of Daria. Very much love the show. I got my sister into it and bought her the whole DVD. Well, I bought the DVD box set for myself and then I gave it to her afterwards. It was like, here, watch it while you're, I think she was going to college and now it's her basically. But I love Daria. The show itself is great. And one of the things that I

[00:29:44] really didn't expect from the show was the perspective of Jodi. Jodi is a, one of the only students in Daria universe in Daria's grade that she has like any modica, like module of respect for here. Jodi's very intelligent. She's class president. Um, I believe at one point she's elected a prom queen

[00:30:11] with her boyfriend, um, who I'm, I'm missing, I'm skipping out on his name. I'm so sorry, but he's not as big of a character as, uh, Jodi here. Um, she's well aware that quite often she's used as kind of like the token black excellence character from, uh, in their high school, like showing like anytime they need an opportunity for diversity, but she's well aware of her position.

[00:30:36] She often does a lot of emotional labor, not just with Daria, but with a lot of the other characters. Um, she's very popular as well. So she's like has a lot of friends whose situations she has to play mediator for. So Jodi is a really interesting character here. I really, I did not expect Daria when I first started to really give Jodi any perspective here, but I think they actually did a

[00:31:05] solid job for a show in the nineties, early two thousands that was not centered around Jodi. Like this is a show based on the character Daria, obviously. And there are other characters that take more of the spotlight, but I think Jodi, when we see her, it's pretty remarkable episodes and really interesting takes for a show that aired 20 plus years ago. Yeah. Um, yeah.

[00:31:35] Daria, Daria is an iconic cartoon because it's like an adult, like a young teen kind of adult cartoon. Like, you know, like it kind of bridges that gap, uh, in the same way, like I guess the boondocks would, but not as, not as vulgar as the boondocks, not as edgy, but, uh, definitely very smart, very sarcastic. You know, it's kind of like, you gotta, like you watch the show and you kind of feel seen a lot of times. Like it's like, they're the ones who are looking at the screen telling you like, this is crazy. Right. Um, and so I think you get a lot of that from Jodi and Daria both. Um,

[00:32:02] who's up next on our list. Is this a time for Susie Carmichael to make her, uh, her appearance? It is time for your cousin. It is. Yes. As the cousin of Susie Carmichael, I will speak to Susie. Susie from the Rugrats, uh, around season six, I want to say we literally got an episode called Dr. Susie because her mom fixed up one of her toys and, uh, little Susie was like, Hey, I kind of like this. She took the hippopotamus oath, you know, becoming a doctor in that moment. Uh, and, uh, to me,

[00:32:31] as Gia was saying, she's one of those figures in the show where all the chaos is happening. And then you got Susie because her black ass family was not having it as a, like, and so the picture we have up on screen is this is Susie all grown up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Susie's been a real one since day one. Only family that knew where their kids were the entire time. It's been not on my watch. And Jessica is the older one and it doesn't change anything. She's still the realist. She's still, uh, the most responsible, the most, um, common sense when

[00:33:01] it comes to Angelica's nonsense. I love Susie. I think this is a sleeper pick here. Yeah. She wasn't having it. Okay. She wasn't having it. Love her here. Uh, and I think, does that end our healer struggle? All right. Let's get to the hustlers so we can get to the game. Okay. Hustlers. All right. We've talked about Riley. You might as well, let's go ahead and jump into it. Riley Freeman is going to be our next hustler up. If Huey is a healer for all the things that Gia

[00:33:29] said, Riley is a hustler because that's all he know I do. They call that man, Riley paper stack, Riley paper stacks, Lewis rich, like the Turkey bacon. Uh, I believe he said, uh, this, he bought his money, he bought his paper, you know, Riley really don't mess around. God, look at that face. Okay. That's a face of a hustler. I love Riley. So I feel like when they were creating, when survivor was creating the hustlers tribe, they obviously, they did not pick hustlers for the hustlers tribe. I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

[00:33:59] This was the face I was thinking of when they said the hustlers tribe, like this is a hustler. This is not the mascot of the hustlers tribe. Cause we will get into that. But Riley is a hustler. It is sold. He was sold to me when he started playing basketball in Tim's. I was like, all right, this kid's a real one. Like I love Riley. He's a, he got a big mouth. So I wonder how he's

[00:34:23] going to do in survivor. This is honestly possibly first boot coded who knows, but look, I'm rooting for a good villain. I love Riley. That's my guy. I hope he wins the season. Yeah, we shall see. Um, let's get to the mascot of the hustlers. This person, we've been dancing around her name for this whole entire time, but we got to talk about from the code name kids next door,

[00:34:46] not number one, two, three or four. It's number five, baby. Number five is the queen. There is no, there, this is a top five cartoon character of any show. You know, she just is. We got crease summer doing the voice. Look at that hair and earring combo earrings with the cap. This is like, look at this character design for a cartoon that does like BDI characters all over

[00:35:16] the place. Like this is the best character design that you could have shown 10 year old me in cartoon network. Like she is it. She is the it girl. When we said we were doing this theme, number five was a lock for the hustler's tribe. It's just not even a question. And I'm so sad that Galactic hit next door got canceled. That was a sequel series they were going to make when they're a little older, but she's literally, if you, if you didn't watch the finale,

[00:35:46] the leader of the, of the new team, you know what I'm saying? So when number one goes into space, she is now the leader. And I think she hustled her whole way there. Uh, the entire series, she is like the most reasonable on the entire team. And I love her. Uh, I remember her hat was covering her face most of the show. And then you see her eyes. You're like, Oh shoot. Like, you know, I love number five. She's awesome, man. And I'm, I'm so glad that she's here. This is definitely

[00:36:11] the mascot. Number five, baby. Yeah. That's, you don't get no better than number five. Uh, who else do we have here on the hustlers tribe? Uh, I do think we have a sleeper here. Uh, we have Libby from Jimmy Neutron. I don't think people think about Libby that much when you're looking at this cast. Cause it's like, you know, smaller persona a little bit, but she's very big energy. Uh, I think she is

[00:36:38] very, um, what's the word I'm looking for? She, she, she's definitely like can be a leader, but a sidekick at the same time. Cause she's Cindy's sidekick, but also, but it's like, I don't know. I like Libby. I think she's very intelligent. Oh, go, go ahead. Let's cut the bullshit. When Jimmy Neutron was out, I didn't give a shit about Jimmy and Cindy. Okay. This was the Libby Sheen Carl show. Okay.

[00:37:02] If I could have all three of them on here, like Carl did, if you see the clip, Carl did those braids. Okay. Carl is the reason she has that. He claimed that hair in that Egyptian episode in there. So if I could have Libby and her entourage, like of Sheen and Carl also included on this, I would, but this is black cartoon characters only. Libby, Sheen and Carl were the best parts of this show. Bar none.

[00:37:29] I feel very strongly about Libby being here and this iteration of Libby specifically. Cause Carl did his big one with this hair. No notes. Um, okay. Let's see what Libby is able to do here. Isaiah, who's next up on the list from a show. I just got into recently. Cause my fiance, it is Marshmallow from Bob's burgers. I love Bob's burgers. Isaiah, how have you been enjoying

[00:37:57] Bob's burgers now that you just jumped in? I love it. So I haven't like watched every episode in a row, but like I hop around, I haven't met this character yet, but I think it's very like, it's, it's like dry humor, but it just works. You know what I'm saying? So I like it, but, um, what, what's up with Marshmallow? Why is she here? Oh, we can get into Marshmallow lore. We love Marshmallow. The pictures I saw were kind of crazy. So yeah, this is,

[00:38:23] this is our trans representation on the show as well. Um, from the Bob's burger universe. Uh, now I love Bob's burgers. Everybody knows that his children are my children, you know, like I, I, I ride for, for his kids, but Gia, tell us why Marshmallow is going to be the, the, the greatest hustler to exist on this time. I love Bob's burgers, right? Like that. I was just watching it making food so that I wasn't going to starve like after this show, right? Like I,

[00:38:52] I, Bob's burgers is my happy show. Love Bob's burgers, love the whole family, but we have to admit, okay. The main family is not black as much as we want. We want to say they got a little ethnic in them. They, they, they got, they was, they got some friends, you know, like you can tell somebody, they got a little color in there. Okay. I, I peeped that, but. Gene, Gene been outside. Gene,

[00:39:21] Gene was queen. I feel I, there is an argument. Gene was queen Latifah for Halloween. Gene has Queen Latifah in his UNITYY phase. Quite possibly one of the blackest moments in cartoon history, I will say, but we're not talking about them, but we wanted to have a little bit of black representation on Bob's burgers. And there's a couple characters that we could pick, but none that I feel as strongly

[00:39:45] about as Marshmallow. Marshmallow wears a lot of hats. Um, it, she is a trans icon. She, uh, she goes to work. We don't know really what she does, but, uh, even in one episode, they just say kind of like, she comes and goes as she pleases and she is truly free. So whatever she does, she does well. She on the block. Marshmallow, Marshmallow out here trying to trick. Yeah. Well, that was, that was what was implied in the first episode that we saw her

[00:40:14] in, but she was connected to some other trans sex workers in the Bob's burgers universe, but we haven't really seen them since that episode, but we've seen Marshmallow plenty of times. She's one of the many colorful characters that come into Bob and his family's lives. They are good friends. Uh, everyone has a lot of respect for Marshmallow. And I think that that's one of the things I love

[00:40:38] about Bob's burgers is that we often get a lot of solid queer representation. Um, not so much in the family, even though like the family itself does have some like queer coded moments, but again, like Bob and Linda are married and the kids are kids. So I'm not going to like read too much into that, but a lot of the friends that they have in the Bob's burgers universe are queer characters, Marshmallow being one of them. And every time Marshmallow shows up, it is a moment. So she's a

[00:41:08] beloved friend of the family and we just had to have her here. Yeah. I'm excited to see what Marshmallow brings to the table. She is a solid hustler. I will say, I think we have two more. All right. Who are our last two? So we can, I'm very excited for the last two. Um, the last two are great. We got a true hustler over here. Oscar Brown. Oscar Brown.

[00:41:38] Now look, we played with the idea of potentially putting Trudy proud on the heroes tribe, right? She is a vet, but listen, this is not, we're never, it's not like we're never going to see Trudy. Okay. I feel like the whole proud family is going to make an appearance at some point, but for the hustlers tribe, there is no bigger hustler than Oscar proud.

[00:42:03] You will, you will rarely hear me go up for a Republican, but the proud family, these might be the only black Republicans I respect. Um, only ones I, I love, I love them so much. Uh, from his tiny ears and skinny frame, like it's just, Oscar is out here selling whatever he making these proud snacks. He's flipping them. He's trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents every day.

[00:42:30] This man is a hustler. Now there's an argument to be made that sugar mama could have been in this spot too. You know what I'm saying? Like the Brown family is chock full of hustlers. We bounced back and forth between, uh, Oscar proud and sugar mama. And there is an argument for them to return for a blood versus water season. I will hear people out on that, but yeah, for this, we had to pick one, one character. Oscar is one of the big stars of the proud family.

[00:42:59] I don't even know those kids like that. It is Oscar. It is Oscar's moment right now. Especially for blacks, right? That's one of the blackest characters we got. So shout out to Oscar. Yeah. I mean, the only way to get black are you pick Bobby, you know, but, uh, we won't dive into that right now. Uh, we have one more spot to fill. Who is last up on our hustlers tribe? Our last person is one of the realists in this cast from recess. We have Vince.

[00:43:26] Vince. Vince. I love Vince. I feel like, and if you didn't see the main screen, I feel like people are wondering, you know, like, where is Vince? Where is Vince? Rhesus was that show when I was growing up. Like it was that show to me. And Vince, listen, there's a reason that I said before, we have two kind of really epitome of black best friend characters. One was Gerald, clear hero.

[00:43:54] But this playground like made Vince a hustler. Okay. You cannot be a hustler and survive that school. I apologize, but Vince is Vince like goes to the ghetto every day. He goes from the cul-de-sac from whence he came to the straight up ghetto in his school and survives. And really, let's be honest. There's a, there is an argument for Vince to be a healer because him and Gretchen

[00:44:23] were keeping that hot ass mess group together. Like, like nothing. Okay. Like they were the glue holding this messy ass group together. But Vince is a character. I just feel like we had to have on our first. So when you think of black cartoon characters, I feel like Vince is one of the ones that automatically comes to mind, especially if you're talking about the black best friend trope.

[00:44:49] Yeah. Um, and that's it. That's our entire cast. Now I'm tempted to be like, all right. And thank y'all for coming to this episode of recap kickback. We'll see y'all next time for part two when we allow this to happen, but let's ride it out. We're 45 minutes in. We've identified the entire cast, uh, right now knee jerk reaction. I need a winner pick Isaiah. Who do you think is going to win the entire thing? We're going to, we're going with Gerald. Listen, I got the show for a reason.

[00:45:16] Gerald, if I could change my nickname, I was going to be like Gerald, Gerald Stan. Gerald is the complete package and I feel very strongly about it. Yeah. Uh, Gia, what about you? Listen, I will see your Gerald pick and I think it is a solid pick, but like my nickname says I am team Lashana here. I need to see her do well. And I need to see her take it all. This is the win

[00:45:39] that she was promised and denied in total drama Island. If what, what, what show is it? Cartoon Network. If Cartoon Network were not cowards and have these basic ass white folks in the final two, Lashana would have won the whole thing. I'm sorry. All right. And I'm going to break rank. I'm not rooting for a hero anymore. We've gone through the list. I got to go with number five, baby. Bring me my hustler. Bring me the hustler. All right. So I just realized we're going to have a

[00:46:09] first boot in this cast and it's going to be devastating. It's going to be terrible. I'm not ready for any of these people to go. Let's find out who it is. Isaiah, you want to take us through the proceedings? Sure. So first of all, we, we, we're going to start the season off with the twist. And we're going to find out that they all have to ring a bell. All three tries to make their way to the boats. Yada, yada, yada. Long story short, the heroes win a reward and the healers win a reward.

[00:46:37] Fire making kits and flints. That's not the important stuff we're here for. We want to see what the powers and stuff are. Doc McStuffins finds a secret advantage off Reflings and Super Idol that can be played after all the votes are read. So very dangerous already. The representative of the healers tribe starting off strong. What did I say? What did I say? Doc McStuffins has a Super Idol. Yes. What did I say? I said, I said the mascot.

[00:47:06] It can only be played at the first tribal council. So that's the key part here. Yes. So if the, if the healers go to tribal council, this could get dangerous for everybody else. But if they lose, then she has to pass it to someone on the losing tribal. So very interesting here. So let's look at some of the statuses of these tribes. So we're going to start with the heal with the heroes tribe. Nothing. Usually the first round of these brand steals don't

[00:47:33] have anything significant. We're just going to go through them. So nothing. You usually have to wait till after immunity. Let's see who wins immunity though, guys. So off rip, the healers won immunity. The heroes won immunity. So the hustlers are going to tribal council first. Gia, you got to pick somebody. Who do you think is in danger here?

[00:47:58] I feel like you have to throw out Oscar proud, right? Like that is, he's a argumentative man. He is not. And the hustlers is a relatively young cast. And I think marshmallow would blend in more and be more of a mother figure to the hustlers than Oscar would be, even though Oscar is the one that's

[00:48:24] actually apparent. So my first initial reaction, seeing that the hustlers are going to tribal council is that one of that Oscar is going to be the one in trouble here. But since Doc McStuffins is not going to tribal council, she's going to give that immunity to somebody. That's right. So I'm interested to see who she awards it to. And let's find out what she does with that. Isaiah, go ahead and proceed.

[00:48:52] So let's check out the heroes tribe after winning immunity. So Craig finds his first idol on the heroes tribe. That's been my brand for Craig though. Craig is the immunity idol. Yeah, this sounds about right. Yeah. They should be looking at Craig as an early standout. You know, like this is, this is, this should not shock anybody. Craig of the Creek came to play. It looks like Craig is also getting active because he is bonding with Cyborg and has a very lasting impact.

[00:49:21] So it seems like Craig and Cyborg are arriving. Also looks like Cyborg and Static Shock are having a minor disagreement. Interesting because they're both from DC. Yeah. Interesting there. Yeah. Static Shock versus Cyborg. Isaiah, in a fight, who you got? Static, you just got to shock Cyborg and break his circuits or whatever, right? Like you can overheat that, I guess. Maybe, right?

[00:49:48] Maybe that's the source of the disagreement is that Static is like saying, you know, like one blast or one shock and you're done. And Cyborg doesn't like that. No. Cyborg got that missile thing, you know what I'm saying? He going to shoot you, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, if your Metro don't trust you, he going to shoot you. Yeah. So I don't know. I'm concerned about Cyborg and the disagreement. I mean, but we shall see what happens next. Well, let's see.

[00:50:17] Cyborg apparently is resting at camp after this disagreement. He's restoring his energy. So it wasn't anything crazy. Nothing lasting. But yeah, I think it's good, though. He's taking some time for himself. And he probably, let's be honest here, like just looking at the Heroes Tribe, he probably was the muscle in this challenge, which may have stemmed from the disagreement. You know, Static Shock wants to be the challenge threat here, the challenge asset.

[00:50:46] But really, it was Cyborg doing the heavy lifting here. Okay. We'll see what happens next. I mean, now that we're at the Heroes Tribe, though, it was definitely Garnet. That's actually the challenge beast. Yeah, let's get it. Let's be very clear. So over here in the Healers Tribe, so it looks like Jodi and Keisha are bonding strongly with a lasting impact. A lot of conversation. Okay.

[00:51:11] And look, we have our first alliance that has been formed, and it has Doc McStuffins, Jodi and Keisha. Yes! The dreaded girls alliance, Gia. Remember that, dreaded girls alliance. That's their names. Okay, I need to just mark the alliance down real quick. So it's the alliance of Doc, Jodi, and Keisha.

[00:51:38] Now, just to put it out there, Doc is playing this game very carefully, outside of having to hit the media at all. She is actually the lowest on loyalty in comparison to Jodi and Keisha, with five instead of six. So something to keep an eye out if that goes up or down. So if it doesn't flip, it might be Doc. There you go. And let's take a look at the Hustlers team. So it looks like Vince, impressing the rest of the team, obviously. He has a lot of charisma.

[00:52:07] But one person isn't vibing with Vince. It's Libby, and they have a fight. A small one, but has a lasting impact. Not the best way to start off for Libby. But everybody's impressed by Vince except for Libby. But it seems like Libby is also impressing the team. So it seems like they're just both hating on each other. Yeah. There can only be one. Yeah. There can only be one. Yeah. Well, this is tough. This is tough. My faves are fighting. What happens next?

[00:52:38] I wonder if this fight actually results to one of them being eliminated. So let's actually find out. Doc McStuffins gives Riley the title. Of all people. This is truly the worst person to give an advantage to in the best way. Is it maybe because he's the youngest over here, and she's trying to look out for the young people? Is Riley the youngest? I think so. Either him or number five. I think so. Yeah.

[00:53:08] It's probably a toss-up. I'd say they're probably about the same age. You know, I think that Riley's the most chaotic person to give this to. Right? Like, I think you give it to Riley. We might see some fireworks. I wonder if he uses it, Isaiah. We're going to find... I think he's going to be first. I thought he was going to be first boot, so we're going to see what happens. First vote. Marshmallow. What? Marshmallow. Ooh. Riley. Oh, no. Oh, God. Riley. So we have two votes, Riley.

[00:53:39] Wait, wait. One second. So we have... Two Marshmallow, two Riley. Okay, so it's two votes, Marshmallow, two votes, Riley. All right, who's next? Two more. We have Marshmallow and Riley, so we have a tie. All this doesn't matter. And then Riley plays the... Riley uses his idol and Marshmallow goes home. Marshmallow, we hardly knew you.

[00:54:08] Gia, I need you to eulogize Marshmallow for us. Marshmallow played a good game or... Oh, wait. I want to see the vote break down first. Hold on one second. Sure, it was Oscar, Riley, and Vince who voted up Marshmallow. Oh, it's a guy's alliance. And you all were worried about the women. All right, so Oscar, Riley, and Vince. Doc, thanks, Doc, giving... Riley, the super idol.

[00:54:38] Giving Riley the idol. Marshmallow, and then who was the other vote for Riley here? Number five. Number five. No, and then Libby, that was it. All right. Oh, this is a tough start for the ladies on the Hustler tribe, but this was a real battle of the sexes here. I didn't realize Doc McStuffins was in her meninist era. Look, I told you she was a real one. She came to play.

[00:55:07] She said, let's spice things up. She probably, like Isaiah, knew that Riley was in trouble. She probably didn't know who Riley was up against, but look at that. Yeah. Listen, we love all of these characters. Marshmallow does not need the money. She already has, you know, like her own life going on. She's a self-actualized woman. I am so sad that our trans representation was voted out here, and I'm especially sad that it's Marshmallow,

[00:55:37] but her life is fine, you know? Like, we don't need to worry about Marshmallow post-survivor. Like, she was doing this as a favor, okay? Listen, I already told y'all Doc McStuffins is about to be a villain. Let's actually find out what's going on next. So let's look at the status after that elimination. So nothing's going on in the Heroes Tribe. Everything is copacetic. This alliance is still here,

[00:56:04] but it seems like Keisha has dropped to a five with Doc McStuffins, and Jodie's still at a six. So, you know, it's still vibey, but nothing crazy. And Vince has found the immunity idol for the Hustlers team after that crazy trial. Is anyone shocked that it was Vince? Like, nobody should be shocked that this is Vince. I mean, this is... I, listen, for who is left, it was only going to be Vince or number five finding this idol here.

[00:56:32] Like, there was a chase thing between the two of them to see who was going to find the idol first, but Vince finding it does not shock anybody. I wonder if Libby should be in danger after that, but let's find out who wins immunity. It looks like the healers and the heroes are both in immunity. So the Hustlers are going back to tribal, back to back. Now, Riley managed to avoid elimination the first time because of his idol.

[00:57:01] Do you think he can do it again, Isaiah? If Libby and Vince get in another fight, that might be his saving grace right now. I don't know what's going to happen. The Hustlers are very chaotic right now, as we thought coming in. So, yeah. Yeah, I think that this is a really worst case scenario for Libby and number five, but Riley was immune this round, so I'm wondering maybe we could get a turncoat

[00:57:31] for the guys' alliance here. Let's find out. So going to the hero status, nothing. Nothing. Listen, the hero status are chilling right now. They don't really have to play the game yet. The heroes are boring as hell, we knew. Yeah, they're boring. Like, we knew it was going to happen. Craig in charge, running that place like he should. You know, I'm telling you, I knew Craig was going to step into this role. Looking at the healers tribe, Jeff finds the immunity idol over here. Yes!

[00:58:01] Wow. And on top of that, it looks like an alliance is created over here. Okay, wait, give me one second. Okay, Jeff has idol. Okay. So another alliance with Jody and Keisha without Doc McStuffins this time, but with Huey. And it seems like they're both more loyal to this one than the one with Doc McStuffins. So they're double dipping right now. They told, listen, Doc McStuffins told Jody and Keisha

[00:58:30] that she gave the idol to Riley. And even Huey was like, really? That's from your perspective here? Real? That's the hill you die on, McStuffins? Huey ain't never saving Riley with no idol. You can let that go right now. Huey was not going to get... If Huey... If Huey had been the one to find the advantage, who do you think he was giving the idol to on the Hustlers tribe? I don't even know. Anybody but Riley. There you go. I think he would either give it to Marshmallow or a number five.

[00:59:00] That's like the world I see in of what happens with the Hustlers tribe here. Because he's not giving it to Oscar Proud. I know that. Oh, no. Oscar can't give it either. Sorry. Yeah. But it looks like Jody and Keisha are a duo double dipping here. So we'll see how far this goes for them with two alliances. Looking at the Hustlers tribe. So it looks like Oscar and Riley are bonding after that idol play. Of course they are. He's a little impressed. The two people who we would not give an idol to found each other. And it looks like the realest alliance ever

[00:59:30] has been created is a duo with number five and Vince at level seven royal loyalty. So they are very loyal to this alliance. Okay. This is incredible because, I mean, this is a dream come true. The dynamic duo are here. With five and Vince together. Chill. Yeah. This is like a fan fiction situation. If you're like, you know what? I want number five and Vince to be an alliance together. This makes sense. And the fact that they're both loyal to it

[01:00:00] makes me so happy. Yeah. So let's see what that does going into tribal. Um, we know that Riley played the idol and we know that Libby and Vince were beefing. So let's see what's going on. Um, no one plays an idol. First vote. Libby. Oof. We kind of expected this to happen though. Like, uh, maybe this is the vote that number five has to see through

[01:00:28] to solidify her alliance with Vince. I mean, I still think Riley's on here. I was about to say, Riley is the next one with the vote. Third vote. Oh, look. Two votes. Yeah. One vote. Two votes Riley. He did too much at that first tribal council. Like he was really rubbing it in a marshmallow's face that she was going here. And if Riley gets one more vote, he is gone. Riley is sent home at a vote of four to one.

[01:00:58] Riley, the tribe has spoken. He didn't say that. Riley had no chance. Okay. Yeah. This was a unanimous vote. Unanimous. Yeah. The men didn't have a chance. Okay. They didn't have a chance. Isaiah called it at the beginning. Riley is just too chaotic of a human to win Survivor this early on. Maybe he comes back for all stars, Isaiah. He had his moment. He had his moment in the premiere, right?

[01:01:25] Like he had his time, but he was not long for this game. He is an entertainment pick first and last. He's giving second chance here, but we'll see. Hustlers strive down bad for a member. Let's see if they can get an immunity. So let's see if heroes are actually doing anything this round. No. Keep them in line, Craig. Keep them in line, Craig. Listen, the heroes tribe is stacked. They're not going anywhere. They are not worried whatsoever.

[01:01:54] They said, we have Garnet. We have Cyborg. And Cyborg. We have Cyborg alliances. We're not worried about shit. There are no challenges. Let's look at the healers. The healers. So obviously we know Keisha and Jodi have their alliances and they have level six loyalty to both. So they are double dipping. It just seems that Huey is at level five, but they are very big threats right now. Let's look at the Hustlers. I feel like Huey is looking long term though.

[01:02:24] I feel like Huey is looking at, you know, and this may be to his detriment down the line, but like, okay, once we hit the merge, do I jump ship then? Like, who can I align with from the other tribes? But like, this is my, this is my alliance for now, but it may not be my alliance long term. Okay. And then nothing different over here. All right. So let's see who wins immunity. Does the Hustlers lose three times in a row? I hope not. They don't.

[01:02:53] It looks like healers and Hustlers are winning immunity. Oh, the healers gotta do something now. The heroes gotta do something now. They threw it. You can tell. They threw the challenge. And who did they throw the challenge to get rid of? Cause I feel like this, this is a throw. There's no way Storm. Oh, I'm sorry. Not Storm. There's no way Garnet and Static and Cyborg are losing to Oscar Proud and them. It just ain't happening. So, uh. And it's crazy cause it looks like the challenge was literally a race through a series of obstacles and not blocked off. Yeah.

[01:03:22] This may not have been, uh, the heroes one to win either. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see who they're trying to overthrow. Cause, uh, it seems like they're, they're trying to do something. Craig in Static finds something in common. That is about it. He's losing screen time. He, listen, he's used to the wild. He's lives in the Creek or he is used to the Creek.

[01:03:52] I don't, I've gotten, I've not seen the show. I just feel like the heroes are sticking to this moral code thing that they don't want to lie to each other and stuff, but they need to, they need to wake up. So. Craig's the only one really playing here. Yeah. Um, over here at the healers. Doc McStuffins and Susie have a strong bond. That is it over here. And let's see what the hustlers are doing now that they're finally safe. Number five and Oscars are bonding slightly and it has a lasting impact. Okay.

[01:04:22] Um, Libby and Vince after their fight bond strongly. It's almost like when Riley leaves, there's a little harmony in the tribe. Isn't that crazy? It's a lot more copacetic. Um, these are only four people in the tribe. I didn't know Riley started that fight between Libby and Vince. Yeah. Oh, it's his fault. Yeah. Real quick. There is an alliance that's formed. Just note that there's only four people here. So I wonder if number five and Vince did something to make someone automatically at the bottom.

[01:04:51] Oh, they didn't. Oh, Libby. They did Libby. So Oscar isn't dating. Oh, Oscar proud. Lord Jesus, Oscar proud. I fear that it is the moment hustlers lose. And I think we have a tribe swap coming into play at some point. But I fear if the hustlers lose in this iteration, it is curtains for Oscar proud. It's crazy that Libby and Vince pieced it up.

[01:05:20] But let's go to that tribal for the heroes. Craig, with a power move, he's trying at least, will be playing his idol on static shock after they've just bonded. So, um... Good on static. Oh, wait, wait. One moment. Hold on. Does Cyborg try to initiate a vote against static shock? We're about to find out. I feel like Craig is overplaying at this point in the game. Like, he finds the idol great, right? Mm-hmm. But I don't think Craig is the target here.

[01:05:50] So why are you playing it so early on static? Like, your tribe's not doing anything. They're just chilling. Let's find out. Is static even in danger? Let's see. Static does not count. Okay. Static does not count. Oh, Craig got a good read. I'm scared as if you can go here. Static does not count. All right. That's three votes. Static does not count. All right.

[01:06:19] So Craig and static shock are deciding this vote. Wow. But who did they vote for? And they are sending home Gerald. Look, listen. As the biggest threat on that tribe, it makes sense. Isaiah, I see you taking this hard. We lost Gerald Johansson here. How do you feel? What a waste. I mean, if he was to go out, this is the way to go. So I'm okay with this.

[01:06:49] But damn, we just got robbed so early. I hate it here. And that's the end of the stream. Thank you, everybody. Right. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not since Asia have we seen a three tribe format. Screw me over like this. Okay. So, and you know what? That entire heroes tribe. I know they did not all vote for Gerald, but they are on my list. Not with you, Lashana. You're perfect. But the rest of you know. Craig, you are on my list.

[01:07:17] You've been saying Craig is running this team. Look, he obviously wasn't running the vote, but he ran that vote. So that's crazy. Yeah. Craig is at the bottom. They're kind of men. He's at the bottom of the alliance. Lashana, Cyborg, and Garnet are all voted together. So, yeah. Well, here's the thing with that. They're going to have to do something. There is something that's going to happen. It looks like we have a tribe swap. Tribe swap!

[01:07:46] There will be three new teams assigned. Okay. So let's see the new tribes. And here are the new tribes. The new heroes have you. I need a moment to get them. No, I got you. I need a moment to write down the tribes real quick. So I'll just say it out loud, though. So two healers on the new heroes is Chef and Huey. You got number five in the Oscar from the Hustlers. And then you got Static all by himself.

[01:08:11] The new healers have Cyborg and Lashana, who are OG heroes. You got Libby and Vince, who are OG Hustlers. And then you got Jodie as the only healer being separated from her alliance. And then lastly, you got the Hustlers, which is Garnet and Craig versus Doc McStuffins, Keisha and Susie off from the healer. So the healers just hustled their way into a spot.

[01:08:39] And honestly, if it wasn't Keisha, I wouldn't believe it. But I knew Keisha could do it. What? All right. I just need one second to write down the new tribes here. Very good. Let me get the Hustler tribe in there. I think this is the best thing that could have happened to Oscar Proud here because number five has no option now but to work with them. Right.

[01:09:06] But the scary thing here, at least for like number for. Oh, no. Vince and Libby just joined that alliance with number five. So they're chilling. Number five is down bad. You got to work with the op. But it is what it is. You got to work with the op. Yeah. Listen. Craig Garnet might be in. Like, Craig may have just had his moment. And now he is screwed because. I think Craig is going to join up with the healers and throw Garmin under the bus.

[01:09:34] Under the bus for sure. It's just a matter of who the healers want to pick up. Yeah. And lastly, Jodi and Keisha got split up. Yeah. But back to the. Before you move on. Back to the Hustlers though. Susie was never in the alliance with Dr. McStuffins and Keisha. Could she be the one who Craig and Garnet need to be picking up? Is Susie the loose end here? That could be crazy. The healer. Sorry.

[01:10:02] The original healers have not had to go to tribal council yet. So we don't know how much Susie has picked up on for how screwed she was if they went to tribal council yet. So it's just a matter of. We're docking Keisha messy enough that Susie knew she was going. If she went to tribal council. I feel like. I feel like she. They gotta be. They didn't mess this up. Come on, y'all. Yeah. Let's find out. Yeah. Let's find out. Let's see.

[01:10:32] So usually nothing crazy happens after the twist is nobody knows each other, but everybody seems to be split up from their alliances over here. Okay. Everybody but Libby and Vince have no real alliances. So this is interesting. And Doc and Keisha are still together. So that's good. Together. Yeah. Um, now just a note for people are watching. We're about to find out a reward challenge. Doesn't really matter.

[01:10:57] No, but sometimes you see, uh, the relationships between characters grow a little bit after these rewards. So let's see, uh, who, who wins the reward real quick. It looks like the healers won reward and Vince finds a secret advantage in the potato chips. Of course. Blocker power. Vince is a golden child. That's the thing about Vince that people don't understand or people maybe forgot is that Gerald and Vince are not the same. Gerald is like a sidekick through and through.

[01:11:26] He's Arnold's right head man. Vince is the person who can do it all. He could play every sport. This man is, he is a, like a, a phenomenon, you know, on the playground. Okay. Him finding a secret advantage at this point is the least surprising thing. And that's why he's on the Huffer's tribe here. So let's see what happens over there at immunity. I look, he want to see Vince. I want to see this team lose.

[01:11:53] That's why I can see Vince uses a disadvantage, but. And what is it? What's the advantage? It's, it's a vote blocker. It can only be used the next tribe below. Okay. So, um, immunity winners are the heroes in the healers, which means the hustlers. Even though it's not the same team are technically doing that to tribal.

[01:12:15] This is actually the most dramatic outcome we could have, um, hope for though, because we really want to know what's, is Susie going to jump ship or is she going to stick with the healers here? And I think unless we get a situation where Craig is throwing Garnet under the bus, that is going to be the question here. So that means that, uh, Craig, Doc McStuffins, Garnet, Keisha, and Susie are going to tribal council here. Yeah.

[01:12:44] Hustlers tribe is cursed, but let's find out what's going on with the heroes tribe. All right. Nothing. They are comfortable and Jeff still has his idol. Let's go to the yelling. Nothing. Because Vince has his idol in his vote blocker and he is comfortable. Let's see if the hustlers who really need to do something is doing something. They are. Garnet and Susie have a small fight that has a lasting impact. Girl. And Keisha and Susie have a bond.

[01:13:14] You need to be on your best behavior right now. And look at Keisha picking up the Susie loose end. It's like she heard our analysis. She said, now, Susie, I know you don't think you're flipping. Come on home. And this is the green light for Craig to throw Garnet under the bus. Gotta do it, Craig. You gotta do it. It looks like there is some Alliance activity over here. Doc McStuffins and Susie creating the Lions. While Garnet rests.

[01:13:44] After doing that nonsense, Garnet's done, bro. No, Doc McStuffins and Keisha knew what they did, what needed to be done. They said, we left Susie out of the Alliance. But look, Jodi's not here right now. So let's go ahead, pick her up. And notice the number under their loyalty level for this Alliance too. It has got an eight. I don't think either of the previous Alliances that Doc was a part of or that iteration of

[01:14:11] Doc, Keisha, Jodi had that level of loyalty. So I think this is where Doc really makes her move here to like, okay, Jodi and Keisha were, you know, we were alive, but they were really the duo. This is my duo now. Like, this is where I really lock it in with Susie here. Doc Tappeen. If we're Garnet to be resting after all that nonsense, it's very bad. Bad gameplay from Garnet here. Let's go travel.

[01:14:41] Nobody plays an idol. So let's get into these votes. The first vote is... Oh, Keisha lost her vote. So Keisha can't vote here. Oh. Oh. Did she go on a journey? She must have done something and lost her vote. Did we miss something? All right. I guess she lost her vote. All right. First vote. No surprise here. Garnet. Yeah. I'd be shocked if it's not... They're not getting rid of Keisha. Come on now. No. Stop it.

[01:15:11] Garnet. Peace, Garnet. It's a wrap. Keisha. What? Wait a minute. We have a tie. Garnet and Keisha. Did Craig... Craig and Garnet. Garnet. Yeah. Craig stood on business. But will he stand on business for a re-vote? Let's find out. First vote. Keisha. Oh, no. Garnet. Is Craig on flip?

[01:15:39] Garnet has been eliminated. Wow. Okay. What do you think about Craig standing on business, standing next to Garnet after she tried to get rid of his number one ally and did get rid of his number one ally. Well, last round. Why? Yeah. Like... Craig, what are you doing? And he's still stuck beside her. Stuck beside a real one.

[01:16:08] Craig, you are... I get it. I get it. This is a very hero move, but Craig, my friend, you are on a sinking ship right now. Like, you needed to at least pretend you were okay with Garnet going here. Right. Oh, it's not good. That's not good. What is he gonna do with Dr. McStuff and Keisha and Susie all looking at... Craig, dummy! Oh, my God. And I'm pretty sure, because Vince has the Hustlers idol, that... Like, he... There is no chance of him finding an idol here to even save himself.

[01:16:37] So, uh... Craig is digging for a whole lot of nothing. I would like to put a note out there that the OG healers are still the only tribe to not lose a single member while everyone else has four people left. So, they are very dominant right here. I feel like this will only really come... So, this may screw Jody over. If the healers go to Tribal Council, right?

[01:17:07] They're gonna start looking at... We need to just, like, at this... For when we get to merge here. But just looking at these pairs here, like Libby, Vince, Cyborg, Lashana, they might be trying to pick up Jody here. Unless they come to an agreement to vote out Jody here. And I just don't see... Like, that's not in Lashana and Vince's blood, right? Like, they're not gonna do that. They're trying to get a leg up on the other people.

[01:17:35] And then for the Heroes Tribe, maybe this results in number five and Oscar trying to pick up static shock here. But I don't know. I don't know what happens here. And Chef still has an idol, too. He does have an idol. Let's see what happens. Well, let's find out. Let's go to the Hero Status. Chef finds a hidden immunity. He has two idols. Because he found his original tribe and now he found the new one. Because remember, it was used. So he has two idols right now in the game.

[01:18:03] The only person with two idols. So if the Heroes go to Tribal Council, Chef could hypothetically play an idol for himself and Huey. To keep the healers in play here. Yes. That's nasty business. First of all... So Chef is dangerous right now. I was going to say, should Chef be saving his alliance with his idol? No. Because he should be worried about himself.

[01:18:32] Enjoy Ponderosa with your brother. You aren't chilling until six right now. Like, don't even do anything. Also, like, Chef and Huey aren't aligned either. Like, they started from the same tribe. But we don't really know what their relationship is like. So it just doesn't make sense for Chef to spend an idol on Huey here. If he doesn't feel like it's going to benefit him. So it's like the other tribe. There's nothing over here. And one more.

[01:19:03] Nothing crazy over here. They're both still at level eight loyalty. Wait, wait. Dog. Vince has an immunity idol and a block of vote? You said Vince? Yeah, he does. Remember Vince found... The block of vote was for one. Oh, it's gone? So he must have blocked... Oh, he blocked Keisha. Oh, that's why he should lock her vote. There you go. There you go. Oh, Vince, you're being so messy. I'm just going to turn my laptop real quick. I'll be right back. Go for it.

[01:19:31] While she's doing that, I'll just press reward because there's nothing crazy. I assume unless another idol is found in a bag of chips or something. No, nothing crazy. The heroes win a reward. They get some coffee and stuff. Healers to get iced coffee. There you go. Heroes win a reward? Yeah, just heroes and healers. They just get some coffees and cookies and all that. But immunity... Yeah, hustlers are down bad. Can they win something? And they cannot because they're going back to tribal

[01:20:01] with heroes and healers winning immunity. The hustlers tribe has only won one challenge this season. It's so bad. I'd say they probably voted out one of their bigger challenge competitors than Riley and just didn't realize it. You know, like Riley is athletic, if nothing else. Yeah. Oscar was not going to help them at all. So getting rid of him is okay. But then losing Vince as well, this was just never going to work out for them in the tribe swap. But even the swap one now.

[01:20:31] Hmm? Oh yeah, Marshmallow as well. Even like Marshmallow in the first vote, like I think they probably should have just like, let's just voted out Oscar Proud there for the challenge strength. But... But... But I don't think you guys are realizing, the swap to Hustlers tribe doesn't have any OG Hustlers on it and they're still losing. Yeah. That team is cursed right now. Um... Let's look at the heroes. Is anything going on?

[01:21:01] No. The heroes tribe is just a comfortable place all season. Um... Healers. Jody and Libby find something in common and it has a lasting impact. So, you know... Okay. Trying to pick up that Jody piece. Yep. We're going to see that evolves into something later. And Craig and Keisha bonding strongly and has a lasting impact. So Craig is trying to look for an in. Craig, don't be cute. Don't be trying to break up this... This alliance.

[01:21:30] Craig working, man. Craig... Craig is taking me on a rollercoaster. I'm glad I'm not on Twitter right now. I mean... Craig is doing his big one right now. He said, this is my last chance to really get something going. Because what did you do last round? You should... Craig... Craig... You should have just let static shock go. Craig... Craig... He should listen. I was loyal even when she was going home. Like, I can be a loyal piece to you. Let's see if it does something wrong.

[01:21:59] Nobody plays an idol. Did Craig getting in? We're about to find out. First vote. Craig. Boom. We knew he was getting in. Craig. If he gets one more, he is going home. He's doomed. Susie. Yeah. Susie ain't going nowhere. He's Craig. I feel like that's the way... That's the pitch for him here. But yeah. I feel like it was too little too late over here. I'm sorry. Craig. He had a great pre-merge.

[01:22:29] I feel like this is the character that people are going to be like, bring Craig back. He had such a great... He had such a strong start to pre-merge. But... Mm-hmm. This is where the game ends for him, and this season at least. The Hustlers are going through it. Yeah. Right now. And I'm also... I'm very worried about Keisha in this Hustlers tribe now. Because Susie and Dr. McStuffins are low-key a power couple. They're a duo. It's a three-person alliance down there,

[01:22:58] but it's a little bit stronger with Susie and Dr. McStuffins. But if you really remember, Keisha has an alliance with both Doc McStuffins and Susie. So I think she's actually the most safe out of all of them. We're about to find out. We're about to find out. So, heroes. Nothing. Come on. Nothing over here either. Come on, Hustlers. They're not making any, like, cross-tribal alliances here. Like, even Doc and Susie are just like... We're just aligning...

[01:23:27] Like, we're just going to align with our own here. Like, we're not... We're not breaking any waves too much or anything like that. I need these Hustler women to win this immunity. Because this is going to be crazy. Doc is the safest over here. I just now realize. She's good. Yeah, she's good. She's good. Reward. They just get some pizzas. There's no idols in the pizzas. All right. Let's go to... All right, wait. So, heroes and healers went... Oh, my God. These are Hustlers.

[01:23:56] Will the Hustlers finally win something? They don't! They don't! They're done! They don't! Keisha, no! She's gone! She's gone! Keisha gone, y'all. I'm sorry. This is the perfect opportunity for Dr. McStuffins to get rid of somebody from her own alliance who would not be as loyal to her as she would. Because Keisha has a secret alliance with Jodi. Yeah. Yeah, with Jodi and Libby. Or was it Jodi? This would be a huge power move.

[01:24:25] It was Jodi and Libby, yeah. This would be a great move if Doc can get Jodi out. Yeah. I mean, if Doc can get Keisha, that would actually bring Jodi back to Doc's side, too. If she had no choice. Yeah. This is going to end up being a case of, does Doc go with the controversial choice and side with Susie here and hopefully bring the healers in? Or is she worried that that's going to separate the rest of the healers from her?

[01:24:55] And is she going to keep Keisha to keep her alliance members happy that are not on the tribe with her? I cannot believe Keisha's not about to make marriage. This hurts my soul. So Oscar and Static find something in common in a new alliance is formed. Oh, wow. Chef number five, Oscar in Static. All right. Wait. Hold on one second. So Chef. So number five. Oscar pieced it up and they have an alliance. Oscar and Static.

[01:25:25] Okay. Our first cross tribal alliance is here now. Now, just to note, the person with the two idols, Chef, is the lowest loyalty out of all them. So he's weighing his options. What are they going to do? Vote him out? I'll play my idol and still have one in check. That's crazy. Chef got two idols. That's wild. That's crazy. Okay. Jeremy Collins. Let's look. Let's look at the healers. Nothing. They're comfortable.

[01:25:53] Does anything crazy happen at the hustlers that determines the vote? What could possibly happen? It's three people. Nothing. What could they do? It's three people. They just look at each other like, so now what? You know? What are we going to do now? Let's see who Doc McStuffins chooses to take with them to a possible merge. Keisha gets one vote. Oh my gosh. He goes. Susie gets one vote. Who does Doc McStuffins pick? I think she's going with Susie. Yeah, me too.

[01:26:23] I think she's keeping Susie. Yeah. She eliminates Keisha. Bye, Keisha. And Keisha is gone. Powerful. Keisha. Wow. Keisha, Keisha, Keisha. Fire up that magic school bus. You're going home. You do not make the merge. You do not make jury. What a horrible, horrible draw to end up on the Hustlers tribe because she was playing a good game, but you just ran out of challenges because you can't lose everything.

[01:26:50] I think that Keisha was a lot of people's winner pick seeing her early game. And it just, this tribe swap, she did not do enough to keep Doc McStuffins on her side, especially when Doc is realizing she could pick up Susie as her number one here. And I think that is the story of this little tribe of two here. Yeah. And what I'm learning is the OG healers were such a strong tribe. They only lost someone before merge because they were forced to. They had to.

[01:27:18] But Huey did get left out of that new alliance on the heroes. So the people are moving on the healers right now. They're trying to circle around them and take them out. We'll see what happens. Let's find out because we are finally at merge. Oh, this is merge? Oh my God. This is merge. There's a lot of chaos going on over here. The Rant deal I did earlier was the heroes versus villains one.

[01:27:44] And that was like merge was like at episode nine or 10, something insane. So it went on for a while. So this is very nice. Well, let's, let's check on these aligns because there's a lot of alliances. So wait, first off, Jodi, after losing Keisha, finds the vote sacrifice. It's an extra vote that can be used at one tribal council till final six. In order to unlock this, she must sacrifice her vote at the next tribal.

[01:28:13] So that's interesting. Is Jodi going to use his radar right now? Like, I think she's just kind of had a chill pre-merge. Well, the problem is that the healers have like the overwhelming number advantage, I think, over everybody. And so it would be a risk, I think, to risk her vote. I say she still does it. Because you got to. You got to. Like, it's, there's so many people that they could vote out over Jodi.

[01:28:41] You just, you got to try it. Chef still has his two idols. Jodi might get an extra vote. And Vince also has an idol. There's a lot of alliances. So just to look at these. Okay, let me get, I need a moment to get these alliances down. So it's not in Jodi. Yeah. And they both have a loyalty of six here. Yeah. And then we have Huey and Jodi are reunited. They both have an ally.

[01:29:09] Huey needs to start locking in some alliances here. Because he only has an alliance of, with Jodi. And they're both at a loyalty of five here. I feel like if they're trying to sacrifice somebody right away, it's gonna be Huey. Oh, yeah. And then we have our alliance of Libby, number five, and Vince. Pretty loyal. Dangerous alliance. Dangerous alliance. I feel like this is the one to watch right now.

[01:29:39] They're pretty loyal to each other. And. The most loyal is the next one. Doc McShuffer and Suzy. A real one. But they have, they don't have an idol between them. And the, Vince still has his idol here. No one, my guess is no one knows about Chef's second idol at the very least. And I really don't think Chef is loyal to this group at all. Like, it's. Chef's gonna do what Chef wants to do here. He does not give a fuck. That actually sounds about on brand for Chef, actually. So this is incredible.

[01:30:09] This is exactly what we wanted from Chef. This is why he made the cast. I will not be shocked if this alliance blows up. I feel like this was just like for a round, like a voting block. Because I don't think number five of Oscar care about each other. That is not a real thing. They just needed to make it. That is not a real thing. Number five. They just needed to leave Huey out of something. Like, this was not a serious attempt at any of their parts. All right. All right. Let's find out what happens next.

[01:30:39] So our first immunity winner is Huey. Hey! And Huey. Heard you guys. Heard you guys. Heard you guys. Danger. Okay. Huey could have went home this round. He was clearly getting pushed out of the OG Healers tribe. There was no way he was going to be able to play nice with some of those people. So this was just the way to go. Good job, Huey. This is the time. Yeah. Huey, you needed this win. And I don't know if he knows how badly he needed this win.

[01:31:09] But I like to think that he was a little inspired. But yeah, I feel like if the Healers were going to sacrifice someone here, it was going to be Huey. Let's take a look at the merge chaos over here. So Steph and Doc McStuffins have a major fight. Hey, Chef. Slow down, baby. Leave Doc out of this. She's cool. She's chilling. Doc. Chef got two guns. OK, he got two idols.

[01:31:39] You better you might want to chill. I listen. The chef is in a very mature show. Doc is in a children's show like they just have very different personalities. Senses of humor here. So I get it. This was just always going to happen. There's it's a personality clash. Mm hmm. Chef is used to children that curse and get themselves into very fucked up situations. And Doc is just a little too tame. Yeah.

[01:32:09] Oh, children. Jody. She's just resting. That's it. So look, is Doc in trouble here? There's only one way to find out. Does anyone play an advantage? First and foremost. So Jody, are you going to sacrifice your vote? She sacrifices her vote. So she does not vote. But she has an extra vote. Does chef play one of his idols here? No.

[01:32:39] Nobody plays an idol. I think so. Chef, chef, chef should be fine. Let's see if they were smart and they will all come together and take out a healer. Let's find out. First vote. Chef. Is chef the healer they're going to take out? Is that what's about to happen? Oscar. The Republicans. Good job, chef. You know who you need to go up against. Chef. Lashana. Lashana. Wait a minute.

[01:33:08] One vote, Lashana. One vote, Oscar. All right. Lashana. No. What is happening? Lashana. What is happening? Five votes left. Chef. We have three votes, chef. Three votes, Lashana. One Oscar. Four votes left. I know he voted for Oscar. Lashana. Lashana. Wow.

[01:33:37] Lashana is gone. Wow. I need to see the vote break down here. So I'm sorry. We're going to have to pause the moment to see it. So the vote scroll, scroll all the way down because they'll have like the tribe makeup in there. So it looks like chef, cyborg, Libby, number five, Oscar, static, and Vince. All vote Lashana. And you know what? And Jody voted for Oscar. Like I said. I knew it. Well, real quick. That's egg on our face because look, that voting block that we thought wasn't going to stick together, voted together.

[01:34:07] They all voted for Lashana. So we look crazy. It was chef. So Jody doesn't have a vote, but it's chef, cyborg, Libby, number five, Oscar, and then static shock and Vince. And then Huey doesn't know what's going on. So he, no one's telling him shit. So he voted for Oscar. Real.

[01:34:33] And then the votes for chef were Doc McStuffins, Lashana, and Susie. Is Lashana our mayor of Ponderosa here? Did she make jury? I believe so. I think when merch starts, you go to jury in this season. I hope so. I hate when they don't include merch people in jury. It's like actually very irritating. Yeah.

[01:35:00] So now we're, we have officially in merge. Lashana was our merge boot here. Chef still has two idols. Which is pretty bad. And chef was comfortable. Chef knew he wasn't going nowhere. That's why he didn't play that idol. Very dangerous. Yep. And Joey has an extra, Jody has an extra vote. That makes me look at chef. Even different though, because not only does he have two idols, but he's in the majority alliance now. Yeah. That's very scary.

[01:35:30] He's got all his healers. We still got like them just kicking it. You know, the healers is in it. Let's see what goes wrong. The healers are kicking their asses right now. It's like not even fair. So. Looking at all the alliances. Doc and Jody. Number five and static drop down, but Oscar stays at a six. I was curious about that. Oscar doesn't know what's going on. Like.

[01:35:58] Hey, he's in the majority alliance right now. He's all right. Yeah. He's insulated. And then Libby and Vince are both at sevens now. All right. Our next immunity winner is. Oh, sorry. Reward first. So this is actually. Because I'm going to see people bond. So. All right. These people are all going to a spaghetti dinner on a private island. It's chef. Huey. Libby. Oscar. And Vince.

[01:36:28] So. Three healers. And two hustlers. Doc McStuffins is automatically in the reward because she does not participate in the challenge. Yes. Actually. Did all the people vote together? No. Libby voted for. Yeah. Wait. Hold on. Libby and Doc both voted. No. Doc didn't vote for. Yeah.

[01:36:54] This alliance all voted for Lashana except for Huey. He voted for Oscars. That'll be a little bit of an awkward. And then. Oh. And Doc McStuffins who voted for chef here. So let's see who wins immunity. And it's Vince. He didn't need it. It's Vince. All he do is win. Okay. There you go. Vince is going to get himself into trouble at some point. But he has an idol.

[01:37:21] So I'm not too worried about him moving forward right now. But Vince is the type of cartoon character who I could see having an idol and not playing it. You know. That's like the Vince thing. He's going to get the James Clement edit moving forward. Like I know chef is the one that has the two idols here. But I fear that if either of them are getting blindsided with an idol in their pocket. It will be Vince. All right. So let's see what's going on in this tribe. So. It doesn't look like much.

[01:37:50] But Cyborg and Jody have a small fight. Cyborg. This is the second fight. Right. That you got into this. What are you? Man. And Jody has a major meltdown after this fight. So. Uh oh. Not good. Not good. Doc McStuffins also has a major meltdown. Everyone's freaking out. Yeah. Everybody's losing control after this one. I think the that ragtag group of misfits that was from that swap tribe from the healers. I mean from the heroes.

[01:38:20] Chef. Oscar. They got these people in the blender. Yeah. Let's go to this vote though. All right. So. Does any powers get played? Jody after her meltdown is using her extra vote. So she will be voting twice. Oh Cyborg. This was not the person to fight with. Oh. Nobody plays in the idol. I should have to vote here. It might be Cyborg's time. I know Stag doesn't like him either.

[01:38:50] Let's find out. First vote. Static. Oh that was Cyborg's vote. I just know it. Huey. Crazy. Huey's got alliances. So what is happening? Huey. Maybe that challenge was scaring people. Static. So we got two votes static. Two votes Huey. All right. Huey. Oh wow. Is this a vote split? Did they say there was an idol?

[01:39:17] Oscar Proud did not forget about that rogue vote there. Number five. That Huey had. Who voted for number five? You shut the hell up with that number five vote. I don't know what the hell. I don't know who the hell you think you're talking to. Number five. What? Two votes number five. Throw the whole season away. Huey. All right. So real quick. We have four votes Huey. Two votes number five. Two votes static. Four votes left. All right. Number five. Oh no.

[01:39:48] Huey. If Huey gets one more vote, he is gone. Yeah. Huey, I'm sorry, but you gotta go. You have to go. I'm sorry. Number five. Oh God. All right. We have one. We can tie this up. The best that Huey can hope for here is a tie. But if Huey gets this next vote, he is done. And if it was a vote for static shock, he's also done. But I don't think that's the situation here. Well, I will say next person eliminated is Huey. He should have.

[01:40:18] Listen, he did not take a stand in the merge vote. He voted a rogue vote for Oscar Proud, hoped that it was going to, you know, take a little bit of heat on him. But now people are more upset with him. So this makes sense for me. The static shock votes were Cyborg and Huey because they're haters. I get that. But Jodi wasted her extra vote. As a hater myself, I admire their audacity to just throw out rogue votes like that.

[01:40:45] It looks like Jodi wasted her extra vote twice on number five in that voting block. Again, the majority of the votes with Huey. Yeah. Chef Libby, number five, Oscar Proud, static shock, and Vince Paul. We were over here talking like they were going to dismantle. They're sticking together. And they don't even trust each other like that. See, but. And then if.

[01:41:09] But if Cyborg and Huey just got it together and voted number five with them, number five would have been the one going. Or at least we would have gotten a tie. It's just interesting because Chef seemed to be so quiet pre-merge and now he's activated. He's running the show. Jodi's burning that extra vote, though. I think that's kind of to get the target off her back. You know, if they know if they start to get an inkling that she had a little something, it's cool to get it out the way.

[01:41:38] Well, I also like to note the merge idol has not been found yet. So I'm very curious to see who finds that. Chef's going to find that one, too. Chef has to be honest as I'm walking out of here. He's the goat. All right. So let's see. Nobody finds it. So Doc and Jodi are at six. Libby, number five and Vince are seven, seven and eight. Susie goes up to a nine with Doc McStuffins. And it seems like.

[01:42:06] So this aligns our chef is now at loyalty number four. He's just waiting for his moment here. Chef really does not care what happens to these people. They're all a different number. It's a mess over here, but it's working out for him. So let's see. Oscar had to latch on for dear life because Huey was coming for that ass. He's being dragged to the air right now. Oscar is third place coded right now.

[01:42:31] So reward will be with Chef, Doc, Libby, Susie, and Vince. Is this the same group that won like one reward last time? Technically, because Doc can compete now. Yes. Yeah. Wait, you know, it's Jeff. So last round, it was Chef, Huey, Libby, Oscar, Vince, and Doc McStuffins. So now they just took out Oscar and added in Susie here. And then Huey was on reward as well.

[01:43:00] So we have Chef, Doc, Libby, and Susie, and Vince. Could Libby and Susie make something happen here? I know. I feel like Chef is just itching to jump ship at some point, right? Like he's got the ammunition to make it happen. I mean, he's definitely outnumbered here because the healers that are together, Doc and Susie are really close, but also Libby and Vince are close.

[01:43:27] Yeah, but he's not aligned with the other two. Yeah, that's fair. And Mick and Libby are definitely aligned together, too. Chef's honestly the odd man out on this reward, but it's just a reward. Maybe he finds something to help him out. Let's find out. Oscar Proud with the squatty probes. What is this challenge? It says, stand in a squatting position, releasing the safety from their apparatus, holding up an urn of water above a fire.

[01:43:56] If they stand too high, they will earn will spill. Oscar did it. Look at Oscar winning immunity. I'd say he needed it because of... We were saying he was getting dragged. He's going to say, I took myself in. Yeah, Oscar. All right. Hustle it up. All right. I know his family's annoyed at Selden that he won immunity because he was going to be insufferable at the watch party. True that! Yeah. So Chef and Doc, it looks like that reward helped because they're bonding slightly when they get back.

[01:44:26] Look at Chef. Look at Chef. Am I rooting for Chef? I think I am. I think you are. Yeah. Libby and number five have a major fight. Second fight for Libby today. Libby being toxic. This is not how I wanted this to go. I wanted them to be aligned. I wanted them to bond. But no, this is... And it has a lasting impact, by the way. And we have some alliance action.

[01:44:52] It looks like Static leaves the big voting block once and for all. And he's done. Static, you can't just leave and not go nowhere else. Yeah, you got to have some place to leave, baby. Stop playing with me, Static. Like, like... Maybe he just wasn't vibing with all the villainous energy over here from Oscar. I need him to get over it for a moment. Because, like, for real, like, Cyborg has been on your ass from the jump. So where are you going?

[01:45:22] Yeah, number five getting into fights. He just, he's like, I don't like the vibe over here. Your former alliance member has two idols. Like, what are you doing? And the other alliance member is number five. Yeah, so let's find out. Because he... Oh, by the way, he is one of two heroes remaining, by the way, over here. So not one of the best. Yeah. So we have... All right. So we still have three idols in play. Two of them are from Chef. One is from Vince.

[01:45:51] Oscar is immune. And Jodi burned her vote last time. Yes. All right. Let's see if any idols are used. And they are not. No. So, first vote is Cyborg. That's Static Socks' vote. I think we're getting a battle of the hero. What? Coming for Vince is wild. Get out of here. Doc McStuffins. Oh, this tribe's a mess. Doc McStuffins. They're coming for the queen.

[01:46:21] Doc McStuffins. Doc! Vince. They're going after the heavy hitters this time. What? So we got three Doc, two Cyborg, two Vince. Three votes left. All right. Are any of these people in that alliance? I don't think so. No. Which one? This is all outside of the Misfits Alliance. You know, the... The top hero tribe. I don't know. All right. Doc McStuffins.

[01:46:50] Doc McStuffins voted out a survivor. Wow. Wow. She was the favorite of the Outsiders. It's just... If she made it to the end, even if she was dragged to the end, we're going to get some... She was a jury threat. Yeah. That group needs to split up. Static is such a hater. So I think Static is probably pissed because he didn't vote with them. He wanted to vote Cyborg out. And they were like, no, let's do Doc instead. So that's probably why he left that line. I think Jody was the only one that would vote with him.

[01:47:20] They are. They are both in. Well, Jody definitely wasn't voting for Doc. Voting block to get rid of Doc here. Listen, I get it. She's the queen of the healers here. If they had to get rid of one of them, it needs to be... It needs to be Doc McStuffins here. So I get the move, but I'm really sad that we lost her here. What an icon.

[01:47:50] She was the glue of that women's alliance. She really was. Yeah, they are falling apart now. Yeah. This cast has only a few opportunities left to take a shot at Chef. And who are the other two? It's Chef. Vince. They have the idols. Chef, Static Shock left the alliance of... Where are they? Number five. Number five. Number five. Number five. And Oscar. And I feel like Chef and number five are really the big power players in there.

[01:48:20] Vince has an alliance with Libby and number five. Maybe number five is the link here. Maybe this is... Like, we have been paying so much attention to Chef and Vince because they have the idols. They have the trinkets here. But maybe it's number five that's really the one to watch here because she's really in a solid position here. I was also going to bring up the Hustlers now have the most members with four in comparison to everybody else.

[01:48:50] Because they are Hustlers. Yeah. That's what they do. All right. So. Wow. There's only two alliances remaining now. When Dr. Stuffin's going home. And number five. And both of them. Look at my winner pick. Look at number five, baby. Listen. We lost Lashana. But Chef and number five are still here. And Libby's still here. Who would have thought? From the trenches. Okay.

[01:49:20] I don't think she knows that Chef has an idol. And she is a lot loyal to this spot. Chef is coming around to this weird ass alliance, though. She needs to be careful. Like, look at who's a four to a five. He's warming up to them. She just needs to be careful. Static wins reward. He is bringing Oscar, Jody, and Vince to a tour. All right. So Static is like, I left the alliance, but I need to build up my connections again.

[01:49:49] And I'm going to grab some of the oddball people. And two people were in that big alliance. It seemed like he just wasn't vibing with Chef in number five. Because he brought Oscar outside and Vince outside. So, I don't know. Listen. Jody voted with him this past round here for Cyborg. So this makes sense here. I feel like she was kind of like, that is obviously the person that I'm taking.

[01:50:16] Maybe she sees, you know, Oscar is the tag along here. And Vince is kind of like in the power position. Like, this is the guy you want on your side here that can make the magic happen. So I can see why this would be the group that he decides to take with him on this reward. But like, will they be swayed? That's the other question. Let's find out. Because Vince wins his second individual immunity, the Bermuda Triangles.

[01:50:45] So he has two individual minions. This makes sense to me. Like, come on now. But also, Isaiah, Vince winning all these immunities is going to put a target on his back at some point, right? I mean, if he comps his way to the end, who cares? Yeah. If you win them all, what are you going to do? You know, Chef... He hasn't made any enemies, you know? Chef's got to do something. Because I think Chef getting to the end and having two idols and not playing them is not as impressive as Vince winning his way all the way to the end. If he doesn't play him, I generally don't care about the idols. What are they at right now?

[01:51:15] They're at... What are they, final nine now? Final... What number? I'll tell you right now. Yeah, final nine. Final nine. So he still has the good... I think the idols are good till six in this season. So he's got a few more rounds, but he does have to start making some moves if he actually wants to be a winner contender. Because I think right now Chef is just kind of enjoying the fact that he has two idols, right?

[01:51:43] Like he's a James Clement situation right now, but he needs to... He needs to start maneuvering himself into a Jeremy Collins position instead. So let's see. The status is... Susie and Vince find something in common and has a lasting impact. All right. Susie, another sleeper if you ask me. She's in a lot of connections. That's just how we're going to do it.

[01:52:11] And Cyborg and Static have another major fight. You knucklehead. This is the second fight, bro. Somebody call Batman. Tell them to get this together. Clean this up. This is a... This is a Katoran Bruce situation here. I'm sorry. These two have been on each other's asses all season. They're so toxic. And they are so toxic. They hate each other. A new alliance. Ooh. Wait a minute.

[01:52:41] This alliance is incredible. So you have... There's nobody in that other group is in this alliance either. No. This is the anti-alliance for that hero swap tribe. So the hero swap tribe was the one that had Chef kind of roping in the misfits and them taking out a lot of these power players. But now we have the healers swap tribe essentially. And you have Cyborg, Jody, Libby, Susie, and Vince.

[01:53:09] Vince and Libby attached at the hip. Okay? Like this is... This is a power couple. Okay? The fact that they've been able to move through this game this fast and this like seamlessly is incredible. But now they have an alliance of five at the final eight. It really shows how much Doc had like stitched people together. He really did. And people were like, we gotta do something. I see Vince over here with his two wins and then he's like making this connection.

[01:53:39] I will say I'm very afraid that they're about a misfire and Cyborg is going to push hard and get Static out instead of one of those other people. See, I feel like they're about to vote Static out this round. Right? Because Cyborg has had enough. He is ready. He is ready to go. Can they split the vote though? Throw a vote or two on you. You make them play an idol or something.

[01:54:05] No, they can't split the vote here because we still have that alliance of Chef, Number Five, and Oscar here. And they just need to pull in Static Shock and be like, hey, you want to get rid of Cyborg? Right. Oh my God. This is the core right here. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. This is a... No, Number Five though. No, Number Five's not in it. This is the first alliance of the merge that Number Five is not a part of.

[01:54:32] Because Vince and Libby, they see what's going on. Vince and Libby know. They know Number Five is... Well, they know if they make it to the end, she's probably the hardest one of them to beat. Yeah. They need to explore their options and I can't blame them for that, but I do think this is Static Shock's swan song here. Like, this is where Cyborg's had enough. I feel like we're getting the idol play this round. I feel it. I feel it. Yeah.

[01:54:58] I don't think Vince is playing his, but I could see a world where Chef plays his idol here. Chef is playing his idol for Oscar and I think this is a misplay. Ooh. I think this is a misplay. Why, Chef? Why? So, Chef plays an idol on Oscar. For Oscar Proud. I do think this is a misplay. Let's find out. Your idol has better uses than that. You're playing your idol on Oscar. What? Oscar Proud. Oscar. I told you.

[01:55:27] This is the counter alliance. You said all heads gotta stick together. Well, this is the counter alliance to that Chef alliance. The one that happened at the swap. Oscar. Oscar was tapped in with Chef. This is the end of the roll. Oh, and then I take this. Oscar. Chef is making a huge move here. This was what Chef was waiting for. So, this is, we're now at five votes for Oscar, right? Five. Yeah. So, my assumption is this was the majority alliance here. Yes.

[01:55:56] So, it's whoever, Chef, Oscar, number five, and Static Shock vote for. If they pick up Static, that would be very interesting. They don't even need Static. But see, Chappelle, this is why you are right. They should have split the vote. We're about to find out. They can't split the vote here if it's five, four. Yeah, they can't split the vote. Wasn't enough. Chef. That's gotta be Static. That's gotta be Static. That's gotta be Static. Jody. Jody. Chef.

[01:56:26] Get the hell out of here, Chef. What's going on? What are you doing? What happens here? Chef has played his idol. Jody. And now he's tied with Jody. Two votes apiece. Yo. Who did that? The final vote. They split. Like I said. Someone went rogue. They split. Went rogue. Number five. Yo. Number five. And static shock. If they don't vote out Chef here, they're dumb.

[01:56:55] That's what they need to do. But are they gonna do it? Chef. We vote. Chef. Jody. Jody. Chef. And does someone flip? They not going to rock for Chef. They not going to rock for Chef. It is gone. Wow. Wow. I told you. I said you gotta split the vote here. Cyborg is a scumbag. Wow. Wait. Cyborg voted for Oscar and then voted for Chef.

[01:57:26] He had to flip. Jody stuck with her vote for Oscar. Oh, she couldn't re-vote. That's why. So which one of y'all flipped? Number five flipped. That's what happened. She voted for Chef. Wow. She was always voting for Chef. They brought in static. Number five flipped. They voted out Chef. All right. So you know what happened? Chef told number five that he had two idols. And I'm playing my idol. But I need to do something about this. This is too much. This is too much here. So Oscar. So headcanon. Headcanon.

[01:57:55] He voted for him and Chef were the votes for Jody here. And then the votes for Chef were number five and Static Shock. And then we have the Majority Alliance here that were voting for Oscar. Who was number five in that other lines with? It's Vince and who? Vince and Libby. Let me. Give me one moment.

[01:58:24] Vince and Libby tell number five to vote a certain way. Like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I think happened? Libby and Vince told number five the vote was on Oscar Proud. He knew that Chef had two idols. So this is where she was. That's crazy because she said she was more of a way. Their move. And Chef thinks it's his move, but it's really number five's move. Wow. I told you. The girl was in the middle. I said she's in the middle.

[01:58:52] She had been playing both sides. She had the intel because she was aligned with Chef. So she knew he had an idol. She said, hey, play it for Oscar. Play it for Oscar. It's cool. Play it for Oscar. She said that at Tribal Council. She said, hey, play it. Play your idol. Don't play it for you. Don't play it for you. Don't play it for you. She knew. She knew. This was how. I want to hear Chef's goodbye message. Oh, yeah. You big dummy. Yeah. You big doofus. Honestly, Chef going out like this makes sense. Yeah. At least he tried to play his idol.

[01:59:22] He played an idol. It was for the rocker. And it was for Oscar Proud. Like you went out voting for a black Republican. Like giving your idol to a black Republican. There is a lesson to be learned here, ladies and gentlemen. It sounds about right. And then Oscar's sitting pretty. There is four hustlers, two healers, two heroes left. Let's look at the stats after that chaotic tribal. Vince is the only one with an idol. And there is another idol now hidden. Now that Chef is out of here.

[01:59:52] Do we have any predictions for who we think is finding this new idol? My vote is for number five or Libby. But I'm open to hearing other suggestions. I want Susie to find a song. I want Susie to find it too. Because I feel like Susie's in that spot where Libby, Vince, number five, they coming for her eventually. I need Susie to kind of have a little something in the chamber. I don't know about you guys, but I am living for the fact that neither Cyborg or Static

[02:00:21] Shock are getting their way and trying to vote each other out. I just love that. This is a Drake and Drake like remix right here. I'm obsessed with it. I'm also okay with Oscar winning some because he's been a villain too. Making enemies. Not only winning a challenge, but getting an idol played on him just for the other guy to go home. It's crazy. He's in a chaos cast spot. I think he knew that Chef was getting votes here. Look at him. Look at him. Look at him.

[02:00:51] Oscar, not knowing what's going on, but stumbling his way through this also makes sense. You know? Real quick. Number five is number nine loyalty to Oscar now. That's her goal. That's her final two goals. She knew. She knew. I know how I'm winning. It is taking this man to final two or final three with undescribable. Like unspecified third member filling in that third spot there. All right. Let's see.

[02:01:17] So this group right here, Jody, number five, Susie and Vince are going to the Survivor Spa with a feast. Okay. You know what? I think this is a good group to go to reward together because I think if they get on the same page, this could be very dangerous for everybody else. Yeah. And I mean, leaving Cyborg, Oscar, and Static Shock back at the camp is not going to hurt anybody. It's like, all right, God. Listen.

[02:01:46] The editors are happy. Production's happy. We're happy. The tribe is happy. Why ruin it this thing? Everybody's happy. Everybody's happy except Libby because poor Libby. Why are you stuck with these idiots? Libby is struggling right now. Libby's been in worse situations. Okay. If you've seen Jimmy and me done. She's stuck with Sheen and Carl. She's been, this poor woman has been stuck on a raft with Sheen and Carl. Her face. She'll be fine. Let's see if Vince goes for a three-peat. Suzy.

[02:02:17] Oh, finally. Win for the immunity. I'm going to win for Suzy here. She's had a run. It was a puzzle. She won a puzzle. Queen. Queen. There you go. Lock her in for the brains tribe when the time comes. I'm rooting for Suzy. I think she's a sleeper pick right here. Suzy is a sleeper pick. I hate to see number five fumble this, though. You know, she was my winner pick. Let's see what happens. Yeah. Libby and Suzy bond slightly. It looks like we have some activity. Is someone leaving the alliance?

[02:02:45] Libby leaves the Vince and number five alliance and creates a new one with Cyborg and Suzy. You know what? Suzy's resting. I'm going to give it to her here because. Number five and Vince, right, are very dangerous. Yeah. Libby is not going to win if this is the final three. Right. She's not winning. If they're she's and I love Libby. Right.

[02:03:14] I was very devoted to the idea that she was going to be a part of this. But if she is in a final three with number five and Vince, she is cooked. She's not winning. She's not even getting a vote. She's lucky that they even let her go to tribal council at that point. She needs to have a backup. She needs to have an alliance that she's more committed to because she cannot be with number five and Vince for the long run.

[02:03:44] They might end up outlasting her, but she needs to have a plan for herself. And I think Cyborg, who's been feuding with Static Shock half the time. So it's just kind of lucky to be here at this point. And Suzy, that's been playing from the bottom a lot of the time. This makes sense for Libby. I love this move for Libby. I think Vince gets hurt the most because that was a dynamic duo. So, yeah, he lost his number one. I think she thinks number five friend jumped him. You know, the new alliance.

[02:04:14] This might be the round to take Vince out. He won two immunity challenges and he has an idol, too. You know, so I would assume Libby knows about the idol, right? Would Libby know about that idol? So Vince's loyalty is at an eight. And I think even in the previous episode, it was like a nine or something crazy like that. So I feel like at some point he did tell them about the idol. Wait, can you go back real quick? I just want to see their loyalty for the past. Sure. For this new alliance.

[02:04:40] So we have a six for Cyborg, a seven for Libby, and a five for Susie. I get this. I think that this is Libby's best bet to win to make it to the end because I don't think Cyborg or Susie are beating her. All right. Does Vince use his idol? He doesn't. All right. Maybe see how it goes. Is this where Vince...

[02:05:10] Catch his votes? Or are we going to see an end to the static shock Cyborg feud? You gotta split the votes on. Number five and Vince here. Libby. What? One vote. Oh, Vince took that vote personally. She left the alliance. Oscar. Oscar? Why not? So we have two Libby and two Oscar, four left. They need to get rid of him in the match. They tried to win last round. Like, he barely made it here. Static.

[02:05:40] I know that was Cyborg's vote. Libby. If she gets one more vote, I'm pretty sure she's gone. Oscar. Three votes Libby. Three votes Oscar. One vote static. One vote left. And then... I kind of love the idea that Cyborg was just voting for static shock. I'm a customer here. Oscar Proud. Oscar! Yeah.

[02:06:05] With the old chef here to protect him, Oscar has now been voted out as well. Okay, wait. Oh, so static shock was Vince's vote here. So low key, Libby just took a lot of power away from not only Vince, but from number five because Oscar was her GOAT. And now Libby's in power. Libby now is in charge right now. One second. I just need a moment to process all of this.

[02:06:32] So Libby's vote for number five, Oscar Proud and static shock, which not surprising. Um, she just left the Alliance. Um, I think it may have hurt Vince more than it hurt number five, which may explain the static shock vote here. Um, he just wanted a throwaway vote, but the votes for Oscar were Cyborg, Libby, uh, Jody

[02:07:01] and Susie. I think, yeah, this was Libby's move here to actually be in a power position. She needed to separate herself from number five and Vince. And she did that in a pretty big way here. Yeah. Um, she ran to static shock and Vince kind of peep peeped it. And so he tried to get static, uh, he threw a little photo of her on static, but Libby is in control. It seems, uh, she's got him on the ropes. Now the question is, can Libby win a jury vote?

[02:07:30] You know, like who are Libby's GOATs? With Oscar Proud out of the game, thinking that she could go to the end with Susie sounds like a mistake. She needs to go to him with Cyborg at least. Yeah. I think, listen, Libby in a jury with Cyborg and Jody. Jody burned her extra vote here. I don't think she's not in any alliances currently. I don't think unless I'm missing somebody. I think Jody's been cooked since the homegirl from.

[02:07:59] She's kind of a sitting duck at this point. Yeah. Her only alliance, her alliances at merge were with Doc McStuffins and Huey who are both gone and they've been gone for a while now. So she's just kind of lucky to be a part of this vote at this point. So Jody does need to make some big moves at some point, but that's Libby's, but this

[02:08:23] three right here, Cyborg, Jody, Libby, that is how Libby wins this game. But the question is here, does she actually follow through with it? Like, is this the group that makes it to the end? She should take Static and Cyborg to the end somehow. Ooh, she takes Static and Cyborg. I think she can win it too. She has a few outs. Yeah. All right, let's find out. I'm telling you, Susie is so dangerous too. I'm telling you, like. She's in the spot, man. She's good.

[02:08:53] This is what I think next. She's got to get rid of number five and Vince, right? Those are the clear people to win. But I don't see a world. I think her best chance of winning is Cyborg and Static Shock at the end with her because these two did jack shit other than argue with each other. And we loved it as fans. We were all for it. But they have not made any big moves of their own to this point. However, she could probably get away with substituting one of those people for Jody because

[02:09:22] I don't realistically see how she gets these two to stay on the island with each other for this long. Yeah. And I think her other best bet is keeping Susie around just enough to blindside her to add another name to her resume. That's where I think Libby wins here. So let's see what the stats are real quick. Vince and number five are both at nine. Look, they need each other. They're locked in. They are locked in.

[02:09:52] Libby has a lot of loyalty for this group right here, but she also has her side gig. It's an alliance with him, the alliance. Let's be honest. Like she's using Jody and Vince. Okay. And Vince knowing number five is not in this alliance. It's wild. Like he's loyal to that alliance the most, but he is not letting her know about everything that's going on. Or maybe he's just like a spy. Maybe he's on the inside. This is the thing that I think is actually, so we still have a hidden immunity idol that

[02:10:22] is hidden right now. So there could be an opportunity for number five to find the idol and swing things back in her direction. But big, but here the, we originally were, you know, number five was in multiple alliances and was in a really good position. Now that position has shifted to Vince and Libby.

[02:10:48] And I'm wondering if one of them is going to outdo the other in these next two rounds. Let's see. So going to rewards. Libby wins reward. It's the loved ones. And she's with Jody, Vince and Susie. So there you go with that. So who comes to the loved ones? It's the loved ones visit. We obviously we're getting Daria is going to come visit Jody or is it her boyfriend? Is her boyfriend going to come visit Jody? I think. Okay.

[02:11:17] Realistically, if we're thinking about if Jody is picking who she is. She's bringing to the loved ones reward. It's going to be Jody picking her boyfriend. And I'm going to look up her. Her name, her boyfriend's name right now. I apologize. Oh, Mac. Mac is her boyfriend's name. I like Mac too. I apologize, Mac. I didn't know. So I think if Jody's picking, she's Jody's bringing Mac.

[02:11:46] I think if production is picking, they're bringing Daria. Got to. It's too big. Too big of a name to not get. Too big a name to bring with her. Libby's bringing Carl. I mean, sorry. Libby's bringing Sheen. Libby's bringing Sheen. Unless they want to be like, Brought your friend, Carl. Can you imagine? It would either be Sheen or Cindy. I feel like. We might bring Cindy. She might bring Cindy. I could see that for sure.

[02:12:12] I feel like Libby would pick Cindy, but production would pick Sheen. Yeah. They want him to act a fool in front of this. They want him to like ruin her life on this island. And I support their decision because Sheen's funny as well. Vince. I think Vince brings Ashley Spinelli. I think Spinelli pulls up in the boots. I think this is the person you pick. I feel like Spinelli is both Vince's choice and you might think it's TJ,

[02:12:41] but it's not because Vince knows the game. He's picking Spinelli and production's also picking Spinelli. So that's the choice I feel most confident on. Yeah. And then Susie Carmichael. I mean, she could bring any of her family, her mom, her dad, her mom. She's picking one of her parents. Yeah. Bring in mom. Production wants Angelica. But I think if she has to pick like a rug rat, she's picking Chucky. I feel like he's going to go ahead. I think if she saw Angelica, she'll be pissed. She would be so mad.

[02:13:11] Yeah. She's bringing her mom. Like, she's out for her mom. Yeah, bring in Dr. Carmichael. But I think also that could be what sways Libby to pick Susie because she's the only one that didn't bring like her friend or her significant other. She brought her mama on the island. Let's see if the loved ones gives that extra push to win immunity. And it gives Vince his third immunity. Vince, Vince, Vince, Vince, Vince. Vince, are you tired?

[02:13:41] Vince has immunity. And we just said number five could be in a tight spot. Vince, this is your chance. Do you cover your ally with your idol and try to make it through as a pair? I would love to see it. I think. I'm trying to count how many times. Vince has one immunity. He found another idol. He found the Hustlers hidden immunity idol as well. Wow. Vince has two idols. Two idols. And he's immune for the round as well. He has immunity necklace.

[02:14:11] Vince. All right. I'm sorry. Originally. Okay. Before this information was given to us. All right. I was thinking Vince is a Hustler. He is keeping that idol until he needs it, especially now that he's been on an immunity run. But now that he has two. He might be playing it for number five this round. He. It's just crazy. Cause like the person who's like in the best position, each round keeps changing. So. Yeah.

[02:14:41] I'm lost. Static. Cyber get another fight. We get each other. We understand. Can I, I have a prediction for this tribal council. I just need to let it be known. All right. Vince plays his idol. On number five. Okay. Number vives. The majority votes for number five here, right? Those votes get canceled out. Cyborg's low rogue vote for static shock. Gets him sent home.

[02:15:11] Being a hater wins once again. Okay. We shall see. No. Well, number five could still throw her vote on like, maybe like a Libby. Maybe they tie it up with the one-to-one. Well, it can Libby tied. This is also the, the second to last round he can use it. So. Oh, well, look, I'm sorry, but Vince, treat yourself king. You can only use these two more rounds and you got two of them. What are you doing? Play it on your own. I mean, he's immune. So it's really just next round. Yeah.

[02:15:40] You got to play it. Play it. Play it for number five. Oh yeah. And this is, okay. So this is Vince's third immunity win. His individual immunity win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hustler idol. He has the merge idol. He does not use his idol. Oh, he's going to the end with the trinkets. He wants to show you how he got the wings. Number five. I told you she had a target on her back. Number five. Static.

[02:16:10] Static. Oh God. All right. Number five. Just being a wimp, a hater. Number five. No. Oh, this cyborg and static beef. Getting them this far is so funny to me. Cause why are you still here? Vince. You didn't even vote static. They voted together. What the hell? All right. Whatever. Number five was too powerful. She could not make it. Honestly. As she needed. Like this was,

[02:16:40] they needed to bond here. Just for the sole reason that number five needed to be out here. Her threat level was too big. Oh, I agree. I think that Vince let a number five go here. It might be a master stroke because they cannot get Vince this round. They cannot get Vince the next round. I believe if he wins another immunity, he's kind of saying that you've got to let your number one ally go. At some point you can't sit next to number five. She's been playing a very aggressive game and he voted for static shock. Oh,

[02:17:09] he might just get her jury vote too. He let her go. And then he had to get no blood on his hands. Look Vince. All right. Player. I see you. I see you. Pour one out for my winner pick though. Dang. There is two from each OG tribe left in the game. So very, very even season. But static and cyborg are the two heroes. Like, yeah. The last two heroes just speaks to me personally. Like, Oh, I love this.

[02:17:39] And this little group is low key running. I'm telling you, Susie is so sneaky. I'm telling you. This is chill. Okay. I think where we are currently at, obviously Vince having two idols is going to throw things for a loop. Like Vince is not going anywhere this round, but I do think it's a very realistic, realistic expectation that this is going to be our final three. And while we're looking at Libby as a potential win,

[02:18:07] we could get a sleeper pick of Susie coming in for the win here. Oh, I've been saying, I've been saying it was a liability on the, when it comes to the jury. Yeah. Susie, how is she getting it done? Okay. So Libby's gotten into a couple of fights with some of the jury members of season. Well, maybe they respect her aggressive gameplay, you know, Susie's got to find out. So reward goes to Jody and Vince and they're bringing Cyborg with them for a private island.

[02:18:34] Can we appreciate the fact that Cyborg and static shock were a pair in this reward challenge? It was a question. But that was production. Yeah. Random. My ass. Let's see who wins immunity though. Does Vince for Pete here? Jody gets her second queen. Jody gets her second immunity. Okay. I feel like she was going to be a sacrificial lamb at this point. And like, this was the time for her to win.

[02:19:04] Cause we don't know if Vince was going to save her. If he was the one immune or even if somebody else won and Vince just has two idols. Right. To save her. Yeah. Good move. So it looks like Cyborg and Libby have a small fight. Cyborg is toxic. Okay. Cyborg wants to put out static shock. Libby's also toxic. This is the time to get out Vince. He's finally vulnerable. She doesn't know about these two idols in this scenario.

[02:19:33] Of course. And static is impressing the rest of the team. That's all we got. This is the last round for any powers to be used. So I'm assuming he's going to use both of these idols. Let's find out. Vince obviously is going to play an idol on himself and Libby. And Libby. Wait, only one? He only played one. Oh, he didn't play it on himself. Look at Vince. I think he's Teflon. I think he wore it around his neck at tribal council. I was like, that is for me.

[02:20:01] That's exactly what happened because this is a wild choice here. So Vince plays. Why did he do that? His idol on Libby, who I don't think was going anywhere because Libby is way more solidified in her life than Vince. And I don't think Vince knows that. How funny would it be if the second person who had two idols goes home playing it on someone else? Dummies. Let's find out. Is he like chef? Let's find out. First vote. Static.

[02:20:30] So Libby doesn't even have a vote because she didn't even get the first vote. So Libby's cleared. Waste of an idol. Unless he knows he's staying. Maybe this is a part. We're about to find out. Static. One vote. Vince. Oh, Vince. Static. Static. Dang. So he's just trying to impress Libby. Yeah. It's a flex. He saw that Static Shock was impressing the tribe and got rid of him.

[02:21:00] You know. There is a lesson to be learned here. It is that no matter how big of a threat you are, being a hater wins every time. Yeah. Every time. And Vince also, you know, doing this is a good show of faith to Libby. We know Vince and Libby were a duo at one point. Number five kind of friend jumped him in that alliance. And so it looks like, you know, he might be trying to mend fences because this Libby-Vince

[02:21:25] tag team, if they get back together, I think this would be tough to beat. Guys, we are at the finale right now. Is this the finale part one? Let's see what's going on. Oh, he can use it this round for him. Oh, my God. Vince, you crazy, crazy mofo. Look at him. I forgot this entire alliance.

[02:21:55] Their entire alliance made it. Interesting. All right. They completely dismantled the chef's alliance. Uh-huh. And it's got number five and Static. The last two missing pieces. Yep. But now Vince and Jody about to find out they're the outer layer. So let's see if Vince can save himself again. He better. Jody wins her third immunity and shares reward with Libby and Susie.

[02:22:22] So Jody now has three immunity wins, just like Vince. And try to cut Vince out of the conversation here by taking Libby and Susie. Yeah. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. And she taking Libby's kind of strategic because, you know, Vince just everyone wants Libby's respect, right? That's crazy. Libby is completely worn out by all of this, though. And she's not giving up. She's been playing hard. She has.

[02:22:48] I feel like the merge was really Libby's time. Like, she kind of played under the radar. She knew what she had to do. But this is was her moment. She is exhausted now. So all right, this is I think everybody but maybe Cyborg is here to win right now. And he is. Cyborg outlasted static shock. So really, he won in his own way. I'm assuming Vince is using this idol.

[02:23:18] Yeah, of course, he's using on himself. All right. First vote. Oh, my God. Vince, it does not count. Get him, King. It does not count. Now, Susie. It was the move. It was the move. Wait. Cyborg. Hold on one second. One second. If this last vote is for Susie, this may be the best thing that could have happened for Libby. Here. I'm about to find out.

[02:23:48] And the next person out is... Wow. Susie is gone. Come on. Hey, Isaiah, you were talking about it for a couple rounds. Susie was making a run for it. She was about to win. Yeah. This is what Libby needed. Because what all she has to do at this point. Susie, what are you doing? Susie voted for Cyborg. Oh, that's what she got. This was her losing move here.

[02:24:16] Susie, this is the best thing that could have happened for Libby. Because I think Susie was genuinely the only person that could have beat her at final tribal council. I'm still not completely ruling out Vince or Jody with their immunity wins. But I think that Libby has had the strongest social game here. That idol play is a resume booster, too.

[02:24:45] See, I thought Libby's social game was kind of up for grabs for me. Because she's been getting in so many fights. I felt like Jody was our secret. It was like, Susie was the social threat. And then Jody was coming at... The two people who voted for Susie were Vince and Libby. They're back on the same page. Okay. And that happened. Remember we said, once number five was gone, we could mend the fence between Libby and Vince. And they could come back together. Susie had to go.

[02:25:13] She was really the foil to them. But honestly, letting Jody get to the final three could be a mistake, too. So let's see if this duo... They got to stop shooting at each other and take out these goats. Because Cyborg and Jody... Cyborg is who you want to sit next to. Jody is the real target here. Listen, Susie for all stars. Okay. Yeah. This is really throwing up in... This is kind of like up in the air at this point. I don't think it benefits Jody, Libby, and Vince to be sitting next to each other here.

[02:25:43] I really think that they should have taken shots at each other sooner at some point. But this will be interesting to see moving forward. All right. So Cyborg and Libby are the only duo. There you go. And the next immunity winner is... Libby. Now this is how you play Survivor. Yes! This is her second immunity win. Look. Libby might have said...

[02:26:12] Blue said... Yeah. She was the sleeper at the beginning. Remember we said that, too. There you go. All right. This might be the move. Remember, guys. This is the first season with Final Four Firemaking. Ah. Okay. They're not going to a vote here. So Libby is in the final three. But we don't know. My assumption is she's taking Cyborg with her. And it's going to be Jody and Vince in Fire. But it's having one of them in Fire screwing them over. Right. Let's find out. Let's see.

[02:26:41] So it looks like there's something with Vince. Because this looks like Cyborg has been grand safety. Does Vince go home? Or does Vince win the Fire? Or let's find out. And it looks like Vince wins. He won. Look. Jody home. Now, Jody had no chance in this Firemaking challenge. And we saw that she's not bad in challenges. But Vince... This is where Vince really shines. He knows how to turn it on for the cameras.

[02:27:08] It's time for him to stunt on people, to be the golden boy. And he was going to get in this spot. Now, the question is... Because we can count Cyborg out. But the question is... Did Libby make a mistake by letting Vince impress everybody with this Firemaking? No. Because here's the thing. They're both... They both won three immunities. You need to just send one of them. Like, you know, you can't put Cyborg in there because he's going to lose. And then you're sitting next to two,

[02:27:38] three individual immunity winners instead of just one. You know? So that would have canceled Libby out completely if she didn't do that. But... Vince is a hard beat. He played a great game. I genuinely... This does feel like a Ben versus Chrissy situation all over again. Because... It does. I think if we're talking about who has the flashier moves, it is definitely Vince.

[02:28:05] But in terms of who had the most solid game, especially in the merge phase, I think Libby really shined in the merge. And I think that if she does not win, there will be many people, me, saying she was Rod. Yeah. They're both all-stars, guaranteed. Yeah. The gameplay was great on both of their parts. I think, like you said, Vince was a flashy kind of solo player. Like you said, kind of like a Ben Dreeberg and Libby. Definitely a combative person like Chrissy who goes on to be a part of these alliances

[02:28:34] that just takes down these other structures. Cyborg's there. You know, whatever. In his red turtleneck. But this is going to be a question of like, who are these people willing to reward, you know, at the end of the day? Do they give this to Libby despite, you know, her kind of like, you know, her fights? Or do they give this to Vince despite him not really being in a power position for most of the game? Yeah. Let's find out. Let's see. All three of them are going to get one vote.

[02:29:03] We always know that. They always do that. So Cyborg gets a vote, Libby gets a vote, and Vince is going to get a vote. So let's see who wins now. All right. Wait one second. Hold on. Let me just put in their names here because I just heard the story. How many? Let me check how many people are voting. Hold up. There's eight. What if Static Shock is the one vote for Cyborg? I love it. We love a petty vote. Game recognized game. Cyborg, Libby, and Vince. All right. Everyone gets a vote.

[02:29:32] You know how petty it is? Whoever wakes up their vote with Cyborg should be ashamed of themselves. All right. First vote. So these are three votes. So five votes left. Here we go. Vince. Vince gets a vote. All right. Cyborg. What? This man knows this is trifling. Vince. Is Libby our... Libby got... She got in too many fights. She got in too many fights.

[02:30:03] Vince is our winner. Wow. What a great winner. Hi. I'm so excited to see how these votes turned out. Let's see what the vote breakdown was. Doc McStuffins and Huey. Wow. Oh, wait, wait. Hold on. Let's go through them one at a time. So Chef voted for Vince. I feel like that makes sense. Doc and Huey, they both got out kind of early. So I think that makes sense that they both were voting with Cyborg.

[02:30:33] A little bitter, if you will. A little bitter. A little bitter. A little bitter. Yeah. It's got to poison the jury. That... Jodi has the Libby vote makes a lot of sense to me. But Libby's third place is wild to me. Yeah. Yeah. It was her social game. She screwed a lot of people over. She bounced alliances. Like, she hit the road a couple times. I saw it. The round was all. But she's all...

[02:31:00] If we do an all-star season, Libby is going to be coming back. Go ahead and finish the votes. Go ahead and finish the votes. Who else we have? Vince. I think the rest are for Vince. Yeah. Well, the list is at the bottom. So we get the Chef, number five, Oscar Proud, Static Shock, and Susie. All vote for Vince. Dr. Michelle Fink. And Huey vote for Cyborg. And Libby votes for Jodi. Yes. I'm sorry. Jodi votes for Libby. So, yeah.

[02:31:30] This is... This is it. Vince, our first winner of the sole survivor title for the Black cartoon. Huey wins fan favorite. And Huey wins fan favorite. Which I think you called me way back when. When he went. You were like, oh, no. I think Huey could have been getting a fan vote for this one. And I think this makes sense. What else do we have? Let's see the stats. Just the stats. Vince, five votes to win.

[02:31:58] We know he has multiple challenge victories. Seven challenge wins. Three immunity wins. Four reward wins. Oh, this is kind of... Most strategic. The top three. Static Shock. Number one. So, I think he was doing a little too much here. With... And maybe that's where Cyborg and him kind of got at it. Vince, number two. Makes sense. Libby, number three. Also makes sense here. Right. Static got 14 votes.

[02:32:28] And I'm guessing number four was number five. They won a Static out bad, okay? Bad. He was up for wheeling and dealing. Virgil, how dare you? Okay. We did it. That's it. I think this is a really solid first season of our Brant Steel cinematic universe. Like, Vince winning makes sense to me, even before we knew how everything was broken down. Yeah. Isaiah, are you shocked by Vince's win?

[02:32:57] I am not. I think he had a very dominant gameplay since Merge started and just kept winning stuff. I think you literally asked me, you're like, is this... Is he really going to win? And I'm like, if he comps his way to the end, he got it. And that's what he did. And I think he was a great first winner for the season. Yes. Yep. Competition beast. Obviously a social and strategic threat. Vince, our first winner of Survivors or Brant Steel for the Black cartoon characters.

[02:33:26] The inaugural one for Black History Month as well. We did it, y'all. We did it, Joe. It's over. We did it. Yes. Thank you all for tuning in and listening to this. I know it's long.
