Hey, Snuffing Torches, listeners. You can find us every Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. All right, what's up? Another episode of Snuffing Torches. There's no song today because Gene E is out, and that's Jeff D. Lowe's pick. Jeff is not on the pod tonight. It's me, Glennie, Jake, and Nate. So look, I'm not going to just sing the song just to sing it unless I have to.

Very convenient by Jeffty Lowe to not show up when his girl gets voted out.

Yeah, he must have known it was coming.

But guys, welcome.

A great episode tonight.

I thought tonight, I think we've had two really, really good back-to-back episodes.

I thought there was a lot of good tonight, a little bit of bad, specifically the new knowledge is power twist.

We'll get to that.

But I thought a lot of really good editing, a lot of really good gameplay, good tribal council,

and overall, another really solid episode of Survivor. Yeah, no, it was awesome. I was shocked when we were, what, 25 minutes in, we were already done with immunity. I was sitting there telling myself, what the fuck are we doing here for the last 35 minutes? But it was all good. Everything was entertaining. And I'm pretty happy with it. There was some, there was some villainous shit going on as well. So mean, mean shit. That's a barstall mate special is what I like to call it when there's a ton of episode left and all they can do is gameplay because, you know, I'm not a challenge guy. I only love the game theory, the gameplay, the backstabbing, you know, the levels to the game. So when I check the clock exact same thought but i was like oh this is going to get good and it did yeah it was

fantastic um levels to the game. So when I checked the clock, exact same thought, but I was like, oh, this is going to get good. And it did. Yeah, it was fantastic. I was most impressed with the

editing in a few different levels. They really kept us on the edge of our seats because what

ended up happening, we'll get into it, was the obvious choice. But they had you thinking, all right, it might not be. It might be a blind side here or there. So it was a good job. Yeah, I had the same thought where it was like 825, 830. And it's like, all right, Oa's going back to tribal. It's pretty clearly, I think, going to be Jeannie. How are they going to get a half hour of this? Obviously, Chantelle and Leanna going to the

island getaway helped take up some time. And then they really did build a good story where I never

really thought Chantel was going home, but I was really torn where I thought it could have been

Genie or Ricard either way. I have like the butterflies

in my stomach during that tribal council being like, oh my God, who's it going to be?

So the editors did a really good job with that. And we'll get to that more. But what they did

with King Nassir, I thought was some of the best editing I've seen on Survivor ever. But we'll

go chronologically here. I think each really good starts

to the episode where each tribe sort of got their own little setup where we talk about sometimes

you can almost tell who's going to tribal council just based on who's getting so much airtime
