Yeah, it's a complicated game and it's pretty manipulative in terms of like...

how the rules change season to season, you know, they're, they're ultimately going to go for the best television.

And there have been times when you're, you can tell that they're kind of tilting the challenges to sort of favor a certain person or to give certain, but yeah, it's, it's a, it's a tricky game.

The main thing is, you know, the three, the three rules outwit outlast and outplay.

So those are the three things you really, you, you know, you, that you, you want to,

uh, outwit your fellow players, you know, cause you're going to have to eventually be voting against each other.

Um, even if they're on your tribe or working against another tribe in the, in the early half of the game, let's see outlast obviously just surviving and staying there.

One of them outwit outlast I'll play.

Is that it?

What's been interesting for me is like going back to the early seasons, there was a lot of emphasis put on the actual survival factor, like how they got food.

Right.

Building fires, stuff like that.

That has really, for the large part, been edited out now.

The game is now, I mean, I think people also- It's the psychological stuff more than the physical stuff now.

Yeah, it's all the social stuff.

Because they are still doing all the physical stuff.

I mean, you see in this one, they figure out how to make a fire, which was great.

And you're still having to build shelters.

You see them working hard.

They're just not focusing on that in the editing at all anymore.
