It was a really big part of the show in the very early days.

So we don't have too many product placement challenges, but Jeff really will sell your thing.

I don't know why, though, that Jeff, and he does, he puts everything into it.

But he turns into like a 90-year-old grandma talking about this.

say what you want though the man commits to every bit in the show he really does which is pretty incredible he puts he puts it all out there i do want to add one thing about the challenges and maybe why they don't give you as much of the elapsed time as they used to and so one of the things with survivor where and i think that this is like we see this across many things like like hey used to go to a restaurant and it was like one way forever and now you go there it's like that's

not that good anymore.

I feel like they're really like, and so with Survivor, I think that they're under such pressure to like, okay, 26 days, we got to keep things going.

We got three tribal councils to get to here tonight.

I think that the footholds used to be bigger or they would spend more time on the footholds.

So these endurance challenges in the old days would go four, five hours.

Now, I think that they really designed them to go about,

15, 20 minutes.

Like, I don't know if they give you the elapsed time, because I think if you heard it, it might be unimpressive.

And if there's any of the survivors that are listening, like, hey, Stephanie LaGrosse says, like, hey, Rob, hey, listen, idiot, I was up there for nine hours.

Right, exactly.

They've made a lot of the challenges, like the classic survivor challenges, they've made them similar, but actually a lot more difficult to do, so they go faster so that they can get on with the rest of

You're not going to see them again.

I think that that was... They were off on their own.

Can I give you some Applebee's lore?

Please?
