Actually good interview along with her. I do know she’s finished rather a lot not too long ago. You noticed her on she’s all bats. You noticed her on nearly well-known. She’s finished rather a lot, however I wished to do one thing completely different. I wished to speak extra about her pre and put up golden bachelor life and type of what she’s been as much as, the place she got here from, her determine skating profession, her aerobics profession, relationship prints.

We get into all of that. As a result of I discovered that extra attention-grabbing than the stuff that she has stated 100 instances on the podcast by way of Gary and what occurred on the final evening she was with him. Sure, we do speak about it, however I don’t spend an excessive amount of time on it. I believe perhaps 20 minutes of the hour dialog is about her on the golden bachelor.

I’m going to report with him tomorrow and air that subsequent Thursday, the day after Christmas to present an summary 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 assume that shocked anyone. I’m going to leap to the very finish first and speak about one thing that jumped out to me, after which we’ll type of return and speak about all the things else. However Jeff Probst, since we began the brand new period has. Being principally 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 gone away from stay finales. Clearly it’s being finished to save cash. Nevertheless, these reunions or after reveals 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 stated it final evening. He goes, the rationale why I really 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 dwelling. You haven’t been capable of watch. You haven’t been capable of learn criticisms or praises from social media.

That’s why I really like doing it proper after the present. And a few individuals may like it. Jeff actually loves it. I believe most followers don’t. They just like the stay finales, however right here’s my query to Jeff. Jeff, for those who like it a lot, why did final evening’s after present get 10 minutes? 10. Keep in mind again within the day? The finale was three hours.

The primary two hours had been the ultimate 5, getting right down to the ultimate three. After which the final hour was the studying of the votes. After which all people there and Jeff conducting stay interviews with the entire forged 10 minutes final evening. And I wrote down the timestamps. So that you didn’t need to, 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 phase went from 8. 39 to eight. 45. That’s 6 minutes. Keep in mind, probably the most this after present may have been was 21 minutes. If it went industrial free, it had 2 industrial breaks. So from 45 was the primary phase.

They go to industrial 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 return again and movie and each fly all people 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, once 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 received as many individuals to speak as he may. 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 once they began at eight 39, I knew I used to be like, they’re going to have not less than two industrial breaks right here and people industrial breaks are going to be three or 4 minutes.

10 minutes with the forged. It is senseless. 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 might be finished for tv functions. However as soon as Rachel gained the ultimate immunity problem, we knew that she was taking Sue and Teenie and Sam had been going to need to make fireplace.

And it was an intriguing fireplace battle as a result of clearly it regarded like Teenie was operating away with it. After which the wind blew and Sam ended up profitable fireplace. I believed Sam did higher on the remaining tribal than Rachel did by way of his solutions. You already know, you recognize me, I watch each episode and I just about neglect what occurs by the following week.

So Sam reminding me, he was on the fitting aspect of each vote, he had ten votes towards him at 4 completely different tribals, and he had a goal on his again and but he made it to the top. I believed that was a really compelling argument for him. After which if you noticed quite a few contestants go as much as write their identify, both Rachel or Sam or Sue, on the parchment within the remaining tribal, I Three of them, I believe that they confirmed had 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 really thought it will find yourself being shut. As soon as I watched the ultimate tribal and their arguments, I used to be shocked.

I imply, I believed Genevieve was on Sam’s aspect. I believed Sierra was on Sam’s aspect and I believed Andy was on Sam’s aspect. Operation Italy. You guys don’t bear 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 may have advised you Sue was getting zero votes. That was a given. They didn’t even present Sue answering questions. I’m certain she had rather a lot that she stated at remaining tribal, however the cause CBS minimize out all her solutions is as a result of they knew she received 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 received 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 actual fact of you reminding individuals you had been 59 years outdated, it was like, okay, we get it.

So we get it. You’re 59. However, and you recognize, 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 may have advised you she was getting zero votes. I’m simply shocked Sam didn’t get three. I believed perhaps it will be 5 3.

I believed 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 believe all of us knew Rachel was the winner and it brings me again to my podcast yesterday the place Jeff probe says we’ve an actual battle.

What did I let you know yesterday? I stated, we’ll come again to this and revisit Jeff saying there’s an actual battle at remaining tribal. No, there wasn’t Jeff. This was a finished deal. And all of us knew Rachel was profitable. She tied the report for many single immunity wins for any girl within the present’s historical past. She now joins a really unique group.

And I believe we simply knew being an underdog and profitable as a lot as she did. All of us knew it was going to be Rachel. The one approach it wasn’t going to be Rachel is that if she didn’t win that remaining immunity problem and somebody made her make fireplace and he or she received beat by someone. That was the one approach. Trigger then she wouldn’t have had an opportunity to take a seat within the remaining three, however the second she gained immunity, we just about knew she was profitable.

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 stated, congratulate, congratulations. Exit to Rachel Lamont for a wonderful, wonderful gameplay this 12 months. Some persons are saying this is without doubt 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 might put it up towards. So I don’t even know methods to say if that’s correct or not, however. I do know it was a really satisfying season and I believed the gameplay within the final eight or 9 was wonderful. So I’ve no downside with it being a extremely ranked to season problem.
