Like I'm a weirdo who works in a lab, right?

Like my world is like 10 engineers.

Those are like my entire like social friend group.

right and that's and i was going to be thrown onto an island with like uh with a with a trucker a uh you know a um a professional wrestler uh construction manager from like northern new york you know like like how is it going to work i was like these people are going to either hate me or i'll find a way to endear myself to me so like i came into that first season being like i'm just gonna i'm just gonna adapt i'm just gonna see a find a way to get some traction and get people to want to go with my plans and

it worked out okay worked out quite well but like after i played that first time i learned like i was a huge fan of the show to be clear i was a huge fan but i tried to have a lot of respect for all the things i didn't know about the show and then once i played the first time i'm like aha i get it i understand how i'm generally received by these other players and what the ways they perceive me what like first off oh this guy has glasses he's smart

Like, that's it.

Anything more complicated than that, that should be your top line headline.

And anything stereotyped with being smart, you will be saddled with.

And it's true.

That's what they'll do.

But then maybe they'll find me funny and fun to like me because of it.

But also the second time, you come in with a reputation.

You don't come in with a reputation the first time.

Everyone knows, at least most of us have watched the show when they're coming in for an all-star season.

I know all about them.

And, you know, I'm a huge fan of the show.

So I definitely, like, once the cast leaked about four days before we left, and I'm like, like there's someone had leaked the actual list.

And I saw the list.

I'm like, that list is right.

There's a handful of people that were not well known were coming back that I knew were coming back.
