Actually good interview together with her. I do know she’s achieved quite a bit lately. You noticed her on she’s all bats. You noticed her on nearly well-known. She’s achieved quite a bit, however I wished to do one thing completely different. I wished to speak extra about her pre and submit golden bachelor life and form of what she’s been as much as, the place she got here from, her determine skating profession, her aerobics profession, courting prints.

We get into all of that. As a result of I discovered that extra fascinating than the stuff that she has mentioned 100 instances on the podcast when it comes to Gary and what occurred on the final evening she was with him. Sure, we do discuss it, however I don’t spend an excessive amount of time on it. I feel perhaps 20 minutes of the hour dialog is about her on the golden bachelor.

And, Additionally podcast clever, it’ll be in your podcast feed on Apple podcasts or Spotify proper round 9 15 AM Japanese time as properly. So we’re going to do Steven fish again subsequent week. I’m going to file with him tomorrow and air that subsequent Thursday, the day after Christmas to offer an outline on the survivor season finale, which aired final evening, and we now know.

That Rachel was your winner by a seven to at least one vote. I don’t suppose that shocked anyone. I’m going to leap to the very finish first and discuss one thing that jumped out to me, after which we’ll form of return and discuss every part else. However Jeff Probst, since we began the brand new period has. Being mainly the principle government producer of the present.

He calls the photographs on how this factor is proven and run. And because the new period began, we’ve got gone away from dwell finales. Clearly it’s being achieved to economize. Nonetheless, these reunions or after exhibits are actually getting shorter and shorter and shorter. And final evening was a freaking joke. Now. The rationale why it’s related to me is as a result of Jeff sits there.

He even mentioned it final evening. He goes, the rationale why I like doing the after present proper after you guys have simply voted is as a result of it’s uncooked and it’s actual and also you don’t have social media affect. You haven’t been house. You haven’t been capable of watch. You haven’t been capable of learn criticisms or praises from social media.

That’s why I like doing it proper after the present. And a few folks would possibly adore it. Jeff definitely loves it. I feel most followers don’t. They just like the dwell finales, however right here’s my query to Jeff. Jeff, in case you adore it a lot, why did final evening’s after present get 10 minutes? 10. Bear in mind again within the day? The finale was three hours.

The primary two hours have been the ultimate 5, getting all the way down to the ultimate three. After which the final hour was the studying of the votes. After which everyone there and Jeff conducting dwell interviews with the entire solid 10 minutes final evening. And I wrote down the timestamps. So that you didn’t must, I’m in central time.

It was a two hour present that began at seven o’clock central. After they began the after present. It was 8. 39 and that section went from 8. 39 to eight. 45. That’s 6 minutes. Bear in mind, essentially the most this after present might have been was 21 minutes. If it went business free, it had 2 business breaks. So from 45 was the primary section.

They go to business break, they arrive again at 8. 49 and so they go to eight. 53. That’s 4 minutes. Add that on to the 6 minutes, that’s 10. Then they take one other break and are available again. For 2 minutes, eight 56 to eight 58. However all that was, was a two minute preview for season 48. So Jeff loves this concept of doing this uncooked and actual after present proper after they learn the votes and he gave it 10 minutes.

So clarify that to me, Jeff. I perceive that is clearly a price slicing measure. They don’t wish to have to come back again and movie and each fly everyone out. I get it. It prices cash. However your CBS, the rationale you movie seasons again to again April, Might, after which Might, June, or perhaps it’s March, April, after which April, Might, after they filmed 47 and 48 again to again, like they do yearly is for price slicing measures.

So you possibly can’t avoid wasting cash and have some extra cash on the backend to truly give us an after present. What’d we get? Couple solutions out of your winner. Jeff went round and bought as many individuals to speak as he might. However you gave them 10 minutes. That’s simply the shortest after present we’ve ever had. And it simply bothers me.

I’ll completely current my gripe to Steven Fishback as properly when he joins us subsequent week. However my gosh, that was embarrassing as a result of I knew even after they began at eight 39, I knew I used to be like, they’re going to have at the very least two business breaks right here and people business breaks are going to be three or 4 minutes.

10 minutes with the solid. It is not sensible. Now right here’s a query. I’m additionally going to ask Steven. As a result of I don’t actually know the reply to this and it may very well be achieved for tv functions. However as soon as Rachel gained the ultimate immunity problem, we knew that she was taking Sue and Teenie and Sam have been going to must make hearth.

And it was an intriguing hearth battle as a result of clearly it seemed like Teenie was operating away with it. After which the wind blew and Sam ended up successful hearth. I assumed Sam did higher on the closing tribal than Rachel did when it comes to his solutions. You realize, you already know me, I watch each episode and I just about neglect what occurs by the following week.

So Sam reminding me, he was on the best aspect of each vote, he had ten votes in opposition to him at 4 completely different tribals, and he had a goal on his again and but he made it to the top. I assumed that was a really compelling argument for him. After which whenever you noticed quite a few contestants go as much as write their identify, both Rachel or Sam or Sue, on the parchment within the closing tribal, I Three of them, I feel that they confirmed have been actually struggling.

Now, once more, perhaps that was for tv functions and for added impact as a result of that many individuals struggled but that many individuals nonetheless ended up voting for Rachel and it was seven to at least one. Hell, I truly thought it could find yourself being shut. As soon as I watched the ultimate tribal and their arguments, I used to be shocked.

I imply, I assumed Genevieve was on Sam’s aspect. I assumed Sierra was on Sam’s aspect and I assumed Andy was on Sam’s aspect. Operation Italy. You guys don’t keep in mind this. It was actually three or 4 days in the past and Andy and Genevieve, neither of them voted for Sam. Not that Sam was the mastermind behind it, however I don’t know.

I used to be simply actually shocked that it was seven to at least one. I might have instructed you Sue was getting zero votes. That was a given. They didn’t even present Sue answering questions. I’m positive she had quite a bit that she mentioned at closing tribal, however the purpose CBS minimize out all her solutions is as a result of they knew she bought zero votes.

So why do we’d like to spend so much of time listening to what she has to say when in the end we all know she bought zero votes. All of us knew this was going to be between Rachel and Sam. And when all of your solutions that they did present included the very fact of you reminding folks you have been 59 years outdated, it was like, okay, we get it.

So we get it. You’re 59. However, and you already know, congratulations to her. There’s solely been 5 ladies within the historical past of the present over the age of fifty who made it so far as she did, so congratulations to her. However I might have instructed you she was getting zero votes. I’m simply shocked Sam didn’t get three. I assumed perhaps it could be 5 3.

I assumed he was getting votes from Genevieve, Andy, and Sierra. And the one vote he ended up getting was from Kyle. What? See what I imply? I, generally I watched each episode of the present and I actually do not know what’s occurring. Uh, I, I, I’m not shocked that Rachel gained. I feel all of us knew Rachel was the winner and it brings me again to my podcast yesterday the place Jeff probe says we’ve got an actual battle.

What did I inform you yesterday? I mentioned, we’ll come again to this and revisit Jeff saying there’s an actual battle at closing tribal. No, there wasn’t Jeff. This was a achieved deal. And all of us knew Rachel was successful. She tied the file for many single immunity wins for any lady within the present’s historical past. She now joins a really unique group.

And I feel we simply knew being an underdog and successful as a lot as she did. All of us knew it was going to be Rachel. The one means it wasn’t going to be Rachel is that if she didn’t win that closing immunity problem and somebody made her make hearth and she or he bought beat by someone. That was the one means. Trigger then she wouldn’t have had an opportunity to sit down within the closing three, however the second she gained immunity, we just about knew she was successful.

So yeah, Jeff needed to hype it up. I perceive government producer needs to hype up his finale. Come on, Jeff saying it’s going to be an actual battle. It wasn’t with that mentioned, congratulate, congratulations. Exit to Rachel Lamont for a wonderful, wonderful gameplay this yr. Some persons are saying this is likely one of the prime 5 seasons within the historical past of the present in 47 seasons.

That is within the prime 5. I don’t have the best survivor reminiscence in terms of what seasons I’d put it up in opposition to. So I don’t even know tips on how to say if that’s correct or not, however. I do know it was a really pleasing season and I assumed the gameplay within the final eight or 9 was wonderful. So I’ve no downside with it being a extremely ranked to season problem.
