I did. What's up? We are live. Snuffing Torches, Survivor 47, Episode 6, recap. Me and Nate, who has made sure his muscles look good on camera, and the return of Clemer, who has not been on since, like, week one or so. No, I haven't been on this season at all. Quick question. Oh, really? You guys both did the combine. How many times did you bench 135? I was able to pick up the pole without any weights on it. I was happy about that. That felt good. Yeah, I could not get it up with the weights on it. All right, just wondering. I'll start real quick. One of the best episodes of the last 10 years, or the last seven seasons, whatever you want to call it. Those are two very different things, but... Yes, well, seven seasons, whatever.

We're on 47. That was since the new era, sorry, I'm at a loss for words right now.

Since the new era started, there have been some stinkers and there have been some good episodes.

This was an elite episode, not just of the new era, but of Survivor in general.

I loved 96% of the new era, but of Survivor in general.

I loved 96% of the episode.

The challenge did not have a puzzle.

So that's a huge win.

I stayed with the usually like all doze off during challenges or I'll scroll my phone.

I love the editing of this challenge.

I love the editing and the storytelling and the building of the characters, the entire episode. I thought it was perfectly done. I give it a 96 out of 100. Wow. I liked it a lot. I don't like it as much as Nate did necessarily, but I can't argue with a lot of the positive he said, especially the challenge, like having it be like that weird, like almost like a safety pin that the ball was on. That was awesome. Like I love when it gets individualized like that. Puzzles of Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I thought it was a really good episode. I thought it was definitely probably the best to merge episode of the new era.

I think they finally got it right where we're done with the hourglass and the edge of extinction.

Even like the one tribe wins, this was just basically a normal merge.

I don't know why they refused to like call it that.

I mean, I guess the difference was they had the challenge and Kyleyle won but this was just essentially a classic survivor merge for all intensive purposes

i don't really there was really truly no difference i guess only half of them were able to eat or

whatever but otherwise it was just a classic survivor merge uh i like that rome in on his way on on hold on classic survivor merge they had to do maybe the hardest individual challenge that we've seen in forever to yeah but to me that's like okay that's basically was the first merge challenge I don't know oh so I was oh I didn't count it as they were officially merged until they voted someone out, I guess. But yeah, no, I- merged bridge episode, like, you know, like, it felt like a, I did feel more traditional survivor. I like the twist where you have like half wind the food, but only one person community. I thought it was great. I love it. Yeah, I like it.

I thought it was. I just, it wasn't, I didn't see it as a traditional merge because it

wasn't just like merge feast go.

It was work your dick to the bone and maybe you get the merge feast.
