Yeah. 

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:50,400
So today it's an episode of when
Jeff Probst met Julie Berry but

you can instant contestant 
Survivor. 

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,800
So you can simplify it to when 
the Survivor hosts, Matt a 

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400
Survivor contestant and then 
they fell in love. 

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,900
Yep. 
And We're calling all umi's, I'm

17
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,700
Kel. 
And I'm Mel and today, we are 

18
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:12,200
joined by my sister. 
Mel's cousin Shannon. 

19
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:16,300
Hello, s, Shannon in a row on 
the podcast. 

20
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,700
Oh, wow, Shannon. 
Is a Survivor expert. 

21
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:23,900
Seriously Shannon has seen every
single season and she knows all 

22
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,800
the players. 
She knows everything. 

23
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,500
So we had to have her. 
I feel like we couldn't do this 

24
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,500
show without About you. 
So thanks for being on the Pod 

25
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,400
shape. 
Thank you so much for having me.

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,200
Yes, this feels so special. 
You guys are even doing this. 

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,500
Really? 
How you asked me to be here? 

28
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:46,100
I would kind of feel some sort 
of way if you didn't have me on 

29
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:51,100
this, I'm just so happy that you
both love Survivor. 

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Probably not as much as I do. 
But you still, we're getting, 

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,300
love it, and watch it and we all
appreciate it so. 

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Well, yeah, we is for everyone 
out there. 

33
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,000
Ever seen it. 
We grew up watching Survivor. 

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Yes, we watched even like season
one with our parents. 

35
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,900
Mm-hmm. 
And I actually got involved in 

36
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:13,700
the Scandal at my elementary 
school because I came up with 

37
00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:17,000
the idea for a bunch of us kids 
to play Survivor and we would 

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,200
actually vote each other out and
we would do challenges we were 

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,700
to like jump off the top of the 
jungle gym and people got really

40
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,500
carried away with it. 
Like they started eating puddle 

41
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:31,000
water eating bark mulch and I 
was a Actually homesick when it 

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,500
got really crazy, like, at the 
game kind of took over without 

43
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:36,400
me. 
I was kind of the Jeff Probst. 

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800
I guess you could say, well, 
they come home. 

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,600
They call their parents to say, 
like, did you know this was 

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,300
going on? 
And then again, for a little, 

47
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,500
just the cultural impact the 
show has. 

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,500
Yeah, don't you feel like when 
we were younger and watch 

49
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:55,500
Survivor, it felt, it still does
feel, but it felt so intense 

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,800
like Tribal Council. 
I just remember thinking it was 

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600
like, the most intense And also 
very like adults. 

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,700
Yeah, it was crazy. 
I mean, it really was sort of 

53
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:10,100
the only show of its kind back 
then it's really paved the way 

54
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:15,500
for competition reality TV 
shows, since then true, true. 

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,900
So, it really, it did matter 
more. 

56
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,900
It was more dramatic because it 
was so fresh. 

57
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:25,100
So new. 
But it was also like early 2000s

58
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,000
drama. 
I was shopping film. 

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,900
And that makes everything more 
dramatic style of film Yeah, I 

60
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:35,000
can't stand how oversaturated 
television has gotten where, 

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,200
yeah, nowadays, you don't have 
those experiences where everyone

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,300
is watching, like, the Sand 
Shell week to week and like it's

63
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,800
such a big deal and everyone's 
deeply invested in. 

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,100
Then, you know, the reunions, 
they show the hometown and like 

65
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,400
whole town has like rallied 
behind some contestant. 

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,500
Yeah. 
Because, like, like the art of 

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,900
doing that with your families, 
with everyone's kind of lost, 

68
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,900
like everyone used to watch 
American Idol. 

69
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:03,600
So many other shows, but that's 
why I still love Survivor. 

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,600
I'll never stop watching it cuz 
me and all my friends. 

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,200
We still do that, we watch it 
every single week and text each 

72
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,200
other and we have reactions. 
And will you know talk about it?

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,700
Ask who do you thinks gonna get 
voted out? 

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,400
It's really is like an activity 
outside of watching the show 

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,700
because you're like constantly, 
like thinking about it, 

76
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,000
disgusting it. 
It's just so much fun. 

77
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,500
It is is and I love the old, 
like I've been what were you 

78
00:04:32,508 --> 00:04:34,800
watching the old seasons? 
And that's what this is about 

79
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,300
today. 
Talking about an old season 

80
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,700
Survivor when Jeff Probst fell 
in love with a contestant. 

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Yeah. 
So Shannon's going to help us 

82
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,300
out with some knowledge. 
Wait Survivor wasn't Survivor 

83
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,800
first created by a different 
country. 

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,700
So it's based off of like 
another one show I shout out 

85
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:59,200
Netherlands. 
Yeah, I don't remember what it 

86
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,200
was called it. 
Doesn't like the same exact 

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,300
format but the guy who created 
it like Mark Burnett. 

88
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:09,800
He think British guy and he's 
like created so many different 

89
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,600
shows. 
Cool. 

90
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,800
So knowledgeable. 
Okay. 

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,600
Should we get into it? 
Yeah. 

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,900
All right yeah I just want to 
say this was an idea of ours 

93
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,100
we've been talking about because
isn't it so interesting. 

94
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:22,600
Like the host of Survivor dated 
a contestant. 

95
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,400
It is, I feel like I so kind of 
unheard of. 

96
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,300
Yeah. 
And I want to do it but I didn't

97
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:31,000
think this was right. 
At time, I thought maybe when 

98
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800
we're at like episode, 70 or 
something, but Mel was really 

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,100
encouraging it. 
So thank you. 

100
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,500
I mean, this goes back to 
coincidences because Kelly just 

101
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,600
so happened to be watching this 
season and our whole thing with 

102
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000
this show, is the couples that 
we pick. 

103
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,800
They kind of pick us, right? 
And I think that's a sign from 

104
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,500
the universe that there's a 
reason why you gravitate towards

105
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:54,800
certain episodes. 
Like, sometimes, I don't think 

106
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200
I've always picked, like, the 
best one that I probably should 

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,900
have. 
But I think that, you know, when

108
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:02,300
There's something like that. 
Like coincidental. 

109
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:07,200
Yeah, gotta go with it. 
And also we're coming up towards

110
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,500
the end of a current Survivor 
true season. 

111
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,000
I don't know if anyone's 
watching season 44 right now, so

112
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,100
it's kind of timely in a way to 
was a crush on Danny if you're 

113
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:19,300
listening. 
No way. 

114
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:25,200
He's married such a good season.
All right, I will have to stop 

115
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,800
the episode right there. 
Thank you so much for listening 

116
