Hey, everybody, what's going on? Rob Cesternino back with you for another check-in here of

the great Australian survivor heroes versus villains or vigilantes. Okay, we're going

to talk about the merge week here with the host of our international survivor coverage.

Please welcome back to the great Shannon. How are you?

Herob, I'm good. I'm overloaded with survivor. I'm praying right now.

Of course, that is, has covered the week five of Australian survivor. It has about a four-hour

podcast with her best friend, Mike Bloom. That podcast is up. Of course, has been covering this

season all along, all you've seasoned along on talking tribal. Then, now, US survivor is back,

and is going to be back on survivor global talking with again, for the second time in three weeks,

a great friend, Nick Aiden. Yes, because Nick missed 43, so I wanted to get him on ASAP to talk

about US survivor. I guess it's kind of good that the shows are different at this point. You could

never get confused because the things you focus on are so wildly different. We don't want to

spoil the 44 from here. We're not going to get into extreme spoilers. We're going to try to be

quite broad and vague about things while doing our usual verses and comparing contrasting, but

so many things in the 44 premiere, but things we have not seen in 15 episodes of Australian survivor.

Even like, tracks and dilemmas have been like, I mean, no tracks, very minimal dilemmas,

like about paid streets, and no one loses votes in Australian survivor. They're just such

different shows, and it looks crazy. I mean, the two shows, like, probably have never been more

different in such a way. Maybe in the very beginning of Australian survivor, when it was not

at all like survivor in the survivor 32, 30, 30, survivor millennials versus Gen X era,

where it was like, hey, this is like survivor from 15 years ago. But now they've gone,

something they passed somewhere in the middle, and now are just like completely different.
