So it's really just about who's partnering with who, who's going with who.

And then the challenge is becoming the sort of showdown and the immunity, the tribals to be like the reveal of what's actually going to happen.

Uh, so you don't get like, there would be whole seasons where you would just be listening to people complain about how hungry they were or that they were cold and they, you don't get that much anymore.

And I don't know how much of that is because it's not as hard as it used to be because they did like one season in Africa, which was truly devastating.

Like people were like near death because they were starving and the heat was so intense.

And they used to do a lot of seasons where they would do in like a culturally specific area.

So you'd have like the Philippines and you'd learn about Filipino culture.

They'd eat, you know, or whatever.

They kind of now just limited it to Fiji.

for the last like 10 years.

And it's just like, it's kind of a standard set of circumstances.

Like there are fish, there are coconuts, you get a certain amount of rice and you can get flint if you work for it.

So you can start a fire.

dude you are will every season not there are not every season almost every season there comes down to a challenge between two people where they have to build a fire after because they like split the votes or there's no other way to determine so they have to build a fire at the tribal council and i i shit you not half the people that get there do not know how to build a fire with flint

how's that at the end of the season it's called survivor i alex and i are talking about this all the time we're always like how to it's like not knowing how to swim yes dude you have to figure this out like good you know so yes i'm i agree with you like the first thing i would do is figure out how to make fire under any conditions but especially the fijian conditions right like knowing what my resources are guessing there's a book called how to make a fire in fiji exactly

Exactly.

And then I'd learn what I can eat and what I can hunt and what kind of fish I could eat.

And then I would also starve myself leading up to going.

Because you watch these people and they lose so much weight.

And also their bodies are so used to regular calorie intake.
