And Hi everybody and welcome back to the Survivor 50 wish list

podcast an off-season series that we're trying to figure out who could and

should come back for an upcoming returning season of Survivor 50.

But today, take that 50 divided in two because we are talking Survivor 25 Philippines a season that brought us right out of what

some consider the dark ages a source of light even amidst all that dang rain of

course I am not alone here. I am joined by a super great

guest not only a finalist of Survivor proper but somebody who will forever

have Philippines etched in his memory,

considering that it was the winner of the season that allowed him to win an

advantage in the finale. It is, of course, the delightful, Jake O'Kane.

Thanks, Mike, you know, the advantage didn't go anywhere, but, you know, I got, thanks Denise. Yeah, I mean, listen, would it not be an homage to Survivor Philippines if like advantages were either not used or came to no use

considering that only one idle was used and no volts were nullified the entire

season. You know what it's it's it's the interesting spot we're coming out of the

dock ages with Philippines and you know

onto more idols and advantages but I think this is is is Philippines kind of survival 46 coded where there's like not no great use of

advantages other than the one. Yeah I mean I was gonna compare it actually to

your season Survivor 45 where it's three tribes one keeps losing

we're bringing back a returning player in a manner speaking who had a

pre-merged boot in the previous season,

so there's not that much experience.

You have one tribe, basically never go to tribal council

for the first half of the game
