Welcome in to Snuffing Torches. I believe we are live right now. I'm going to pull up the YouTube stream to make sure that we're live.

Okay, yep, I can now hear myself talking over myself. Welcome in our first YouTube live. We got the full

crew today for our first YouTube live. Me, Jeff D. Lowe, Lenny Balls, Jake Marsh, and Nate.

We'll see if this works out well. We'll just keep it this way going forward, basically, for the

rest of the season, some live discussion to hop in and chat. A 90-minute episode to break down.

My main takeaway, don't really know why it was 90 minutes.

I'm not completely sure why that was 90 minutes.

I think maybe we were speculating because of the Big Brother finale.

But still a pretty good episode. The action really picked up at the end there with

Cody scrambling for all the beads and stuff. A lot of camp life shown, a lot of more sob stories

and emotional packages. But yeah, overall, I wasn't totally sure why I was 90 minutes, but a good

episode nonetheless. Tommy got it right off the

bad negativity out of you I love the 90 minute episodes we got a lot of camp life uh I thought we

really developed Cody's character as a potential winner and uh I love that we saw all three tribes

and they didn't have to squeeze everything in I really like the pacing of today's episode i'm not complaining i'm more just don't i just wonder why it is really more i loved it i thought it was great i could do 90 minutes every week i thought it was fantastic i thought the cheap drama at the end sucked i hated that i didn't like it i thought it stupid. I thought it was a cheap editing trick and I'm just not a fan of that. Otherwise, enjoyable. I liked it. I liked, I actually liked the idol quite a bit. I thought it was a cool idol. I think that was, I don't love like the catchphrase, the secret phrase thing that always kind of made me cringe a little bit. This I actually like. This seemed more like less. The catchphrase thing always seemed kind of random and dumb to me. This seemed like it did require a little outwit, outsmart, all that type of shit. So I like that. I just didn't like that it was cheaply revealed. I just, that doesn't, I don't know.

For me, I like, Nick, call me, call me a simpleton. I like that in the middle of tribal, they flash back to camp and show that he got the last deed. I thought that was a nice little, I liked it. I'm trying to figure out my best, the best way to describe it, I think the best way to describe it is I like, I like knowing what I'm

anticipating going into tribal. Like I, I like knowing like, oh shit, X player might vote out A or

might vote out B and that's the swing. For me, I guess they dup me and I guess that is a tactic on

these shows. I, but I wasn't thinking about like,

oh, did he get the bracelet? Like I was more thinking about how the votes shook out with him not
