S: Episode two. What do you remember?

D: Again. Kent and his machete? Machete?

S: Who loves telling everybody he’s a multi-millionaire? He gets up at, like, I don’t know, 3 o’clock in the morning after going to sleep at 2:59 a.m. and, you know, then he does, like, a million, I don’t know, pull ups some… Who the hell knows? But we get it.

S: We get it, dude. You’re a trust fund baby. We get it. Helicopter pilot. We get it. But he’s increasingly unhinged.

D: Yeah. Self-confessed psycho.

S: And if he goes further, I’m going to be really weirded out by this. Surely everyone can see this guy is weird.

S:  And who the hell wants to do business with someone like this?

D: Like you said, he’s unhinged. He’s walking around with this machete, chopping everything and talking to people while chopping stuff. Talking about, you know,

S: This is his corporate strategy.

D: Talking about. He’s the praying mantis, with a machete, and he’s here to bite the head off… you know

S: All five foot four of him.

D: And he’s after Myles.

S: Yes, he hates Myles.

D: Hates Myles.

S: Like primary school adult Max.

D: Oh, yes.

S: Max hates Myles, too. It is insane how nasty these people are. Okay, so let’s let’s move on here because in this episode you can really see the great divide. More than anything.

S: So let’s go to the coven started by Laura, who is a self-proclaimed white witch. Logan, who is a self-proclaimed mean girl, sorry, socialite, and WAG, which is a professional title now. WAG is an acronym, standing for Wife And Girlfriend.

S: And usually is referred to Football Wives. And so I don’t think rugby wives are called wags. I’m not sure about league. We’ve digressed. So that’s what Logan is. And so Laura and Logan, it’s interesting to see the dynamics here. Laura thinks that she’s on par … with Logan, because she’s come in with crystals, and it’s very much of the times, everyone is looking for…

D: This is interesting, because I don’t know the dynamics of what’s going on.

S: Oh, I’m so amused by it, I am so amused. And look, it is very much of the times everyone’s looking for meaning and everyone has now made what was once deemed esoteric the norm… now. Astrology and all of that, and talking about being a white witch and crystals and spirituality, it’s become such a buzz thing.

S: I can see how spirituality is now used again as a shield, like religion has been used, as a shield to make someone appear far more interesting than they are, or to actually hide what they really are. And that’s not much.

S: So going to Logan as well. Now, Logan is just a mean girl. She’s just been watching far too many American teen girl movies where there’s got to be some head bitch in school. Who the fuck are these people,

S: Anyway? So the girls. And that includes, I say girls. It’s weird. We’re going to refer to them as girls and boys, because it’s kind of weird to refer to them as women and men.

S: And of course, in this world of, well, everyone wants their pronouns in a correct… So let’s just say girls and boys, because that’s more fun. Who doesn’t want to be a girl, who does want to be a boy, before the world corrupts them anyway?

S: So in the coven is, Laura Logan, Zara, Karin, and token Indy.

D: Well, they leave Indy out…

S: From the start

D: from the start.

D: And Ally, forget about Ally.

S: Oh, yeah, but, Ally. Yes, they brought her in. Ally is a bit like, we’ve already seen, when they were doing the around the well spiritual connection stuff. Ally’s like, rolling her eyes and, you know, raising her eyebrows at everyone because, you know, as the A.I tech expert, she’s like, she thinks everyone’s like cuckoo.

S: So she’s your typical North Queensland… She’s a typical Queensland country girl. And you know. It’s all right. I’ve known women like her. Girls like her. Sorry. I went to boarding school with them. But you can tell she’s just, she’s loyal wherever she lands. And so she’s part of the coven. But she’ll do what they want her to do.

S: Indy hasn’t been invited into this group.

D: She comes in later.

S: She comes in after they’ve made all the decisions.

D: And she’s not happy about.

S: Yes. Well, I don’t blame her. I don’t blame her.

S: So I guess let’s just talk about the rest of, the boys and the brains, because the girls have it here. So the rest of the boys and the brains are.

S: Kaelan. Kaelan is such a ninja. He’s just like…

D: Well, he’s a nice guy. He’s, you know, giving everyone coconuts and you know, he’s going

S: and making everyone forget he’s on the brains tribe.

D: That’s right.

S: Your thoughts on Kaelan?

D: Genius.

S: He’s a PhD student.

He’s a he’s a former engineer. He studied engineering but he is a rugby player. Paddle boarder you know whatever, he’s creating, he’s, he’s inventing something.

And yet all you see him doing in this episode is cutting coconuts at the coconut bar and offering people…

D: Smile on his face.

S: He’s just friendly. And he’s making people forget he’s on the brains tribe. He’s making them believe he’s the brawn on the brains tribe.

S: Myles? Poor guy. He’s just hated by these guys who just want to bash on someone. There’s something about Myles that irritates them and I think it’s because Myles is comfortable being who he is.

S: And why? I don’t know…

D: And again a generation thing.

S: Maybe. But Max is of the same generation. But Max is just an adult child. He’s just a primary school bully. And that’s why he’s a primary school teacher. And I know these are real people, so I’m careful not to shred their personalities to pieces, but they have willingly gone on, a very public show, and they’re showing who they are, and they seem to be very proud of who they are.

S: So therefore this gives us license then to say… the F#!X?…

D: Well, again, the edit right.

S: It is the edit. I do strongly believe in the edit, but a very interesting thing you have made me aware of now is what the construct keepers do, right? And how they, you know, widen a lane, narrow a lane, create a bottleneck, create, you know, create traffic, create problems, create.

D: You know, they just have got to make this show, that’s got to make you feel something.

S: So survivor, Hunger Games, all of these things, real world. We all know we’re being… what? manipulated.

D: Yeah?

S: So, but we don’t.

S: We all forget.

S: Everyone thinks they’re really cunning inside the construct.

S: They all think but they all forget that they are mercy to what the producers want to throw into the tank, into the aquarium, just to see everyone scurry.

D: And these challenges and stuff , you stand there and go, wow.

S: They’re just, you know, the psychological wonders of

D: the puppetry, that’s happening.

S: Something we’ve noticed, because right now we are also alternating watching an old season of survivor. And what we have noticed is, wow, the challenges are such so that the physical people can really get advantages at the start, but halfway onwards is all of a sudden it becomes a mental challenge, and therefore the brains part of people can really kick in here.

S: You know, it can really take dominance. The brains.

D: Yeah.

S: And these challenges are meant to really just not keep you complacent.

S: So at the start of it, so right now, by the way, I forgot to say to you, there are two Noonan’s.

S: You know, Jesse, the skateboarder on brawn.

S: His surname is Noonan.

D: Oh.

S: But the only Noonan we know is the Noonan who said she will be the only Noonan anyone ever knows. And it’s like, yeah, you’re still the only Noonan you and I know because apparently her brothers are famous, something, sports people.

D: Okay.

S: So. But, there’s two Noonans, but Jesse’s not it.

S: Jesse’s the skateboarder.

D: Jesse the skateboarder.

S: Man. But before that, we need to talk about Rich.

D: Oh, yeah.

S: We need to talk about Rich the writer and director who got Antonio Banderas to pose on a beach like an idiot, um… in his movie, I don’t know

S: This goes to show that everybody, anybody can do everything in this world. Because Rich is a writer and director. He can’t read. And I’m not saying that in a rude way, because there are people who are brilliant who have dyslexia, and reading is a totally different thing the brain does to comprehension.

S: But still, what Rich’s problem is, is comprehension, not reading.

D: Yes.

S: And Rich. So Rich wants to have a cross-gender alliance. So he’s got, you know, his girls from VB who are the mean girls, and the mean girls and the white which. So calls them the Victoria Bitters. Emphasis on the bitters please.

S: So this is where you see truly the divide.

S: Euro versus… everybody else.

D: Yeah. You know we always say white people, they stick together.

S: Wow. They really do. It’s crazy. And it’s…

D: they have each other’s back.

S: …to be admired.

D: Yeah.

S: Because black people stick together more than brown people do. Because brown. What is brown?

S: How can you decide what brown is?

S: First we get to talk about rich. Rich, we’re talking about so Rich thinks he’s got everyone, you know, he thinks he’s tight with his girls who just want him out.

S: They want him out?

D: Yeah, they’ve all decided on the beach.

S: Yep, that it’s rich who’s going to go. And then what happens? Because then, when they say to Indy, hey, you can come and sit with us, we’re the cool group and we’ll let you sit with us Black Girl.

S: And Indy, who in real life is a business manager and a comedian and like, okay, but she’s also, she identifies, these are her words, as a black, bisexual Muslim from Townsville.

S: So that’s who she is. And she’s strong. And, you know she wins in her environment.

S: But in this environment, a microcosm of the world, the mean girl and the white witch are in charge of the coven…

S: …let’s talk about Karin in the coven.

S: Okay, Karin is, Sri Lankan Australian. Her parents sold their home in Sri Lanka to pay for her university fees. And she’s an, an orthopaedic surgeon, or she assists surgeons.

S: So she’s the one who holds things apart, pulls things apart, cuts things apart for the surgeons to go in and fix things.

D: Yeah wow.

S: So this is a real male domin… surgeons, and she’s got to be the brawn.

S: She’s the brawn of the medical team.

S: Okay. And she plays football. So she’s got a bit of a chip on his shoulder. But what Karin also doesn’t understand is how white-ified she is. She doesn’t understand how much a product of the construct she is.

D: Well, aren’t we all?

S: Yes. But you have to recognise that those people with doctorates and their medical degrees, etcetera, etcetera, who think that they’re better than everybody else because they went through this education.

S: But you’ve been educated by the white people. Do you not understand that that makes you a slave to their conditioning?

S: And then you stand there and rally against the very people who have fed you your words.

S: Anyway, Karin doesn’t understand that she’s being played because she is part of this society.

S: I’ve been played like this thinking I’m part of the group, when really I’m just the token brown chick that they all get their ideas and their knowledge from and then thank publicly with a post, I’m looking at you, Claire Press, this Vogue editor who just leached and leached and leached off me.

S: F#!X. I will tell this story another time, but my God, when it came to correcting is a mistake she made in a story she wrote about Indigenous Australia and the First Nations people and Pacific people, I asked her to very kindly, could you correct this?

S: She said, you people are never happy. Whoa! And then she wrote back, oh, sorry, I’ve had too much to drink.

S: Oh, still not good. Because in vino veritas or whatever the fuck she drinks, gin and tonics, you know. Anyway, I have digressed. You can decide whether or not you want to keep that in here, but

D: Oh it’s all good.

S: Okay, let’s go back to this, you know, the white alliance.

S: So Karen doesn’t understand why Indy is pissed off.

S: And Indy is stupid because she thinks she should be worshiped because in the real world, because she’s a token of the diversity and inclusivity that the construct likes to throw in our faces.

S: She’s been given opportunities because she ticks all the boxes. But in the microcosm, society is really showing her, sorry chick, you don’t actually have any power because you to have drank the Kool-Aid.

D: Yeah.

S: So she’s pissed off. Rightfully so.

S: But she stupidly goes and runs to the white boys like they always do because, well, I know how they just betray women.

S: And they run to the white boys. I’ve had it, you know, they come to me, by women and she goes to Rich and primary school idiot, Minimum… Min… Max, the primary school idiot, and tells them that actually, you know, some real shit’s going on and blah, blah, blah and says that Rich is going to be voted out, right?

D: Yeah.

S: And Rich is like, what? That’s bullshit. You know, I’ve got a strong alliance. Yeah. The V.B’s. Yeah. Oh, Bogan. Writer director. Jeeez.

D: That’s a very good imitation.

S: And then what does Indy do? This, I’m sorry, Black, Muslim bisexual then says this, “don’t. don’t fuck me over. I’m going to do puri puri on you ay.

S: It’s like, oh my God. What, you resort to fear mongering and that spooks Rich and Max and you said, no, it didn’t.

S: It didn’t spook them or scare them. It just made them go. Here we go. Here’s the crazy black woman.

S: Immediately. And it’s like Indy you stupid woman. Yeah. You know, you do not play. You do not do this because in this tight society where they all know it’s actually a game, they can be whatever they want, you don’t win.

S: In this society, outside, in real life. I’m sorry, but there’s a f#!X-load of tokenism.

D: They let you in…

S: …because it makes them them look good. It’s what you’ve said about protests and war. But we’ll talk about that another time.

S: So here we go. So now Rich, then goes to the coven and says, oh my V.B’s, oh girls or girls? Oh yeah. Yeah right. A black woman, you know, she said puri puri. Oh like, oh man. She said

S: And then of course the, you know, mean girl says, oh, oh she’s lying.

S: Because they just lie. They just lie to each other. They would lie to… they lie to themselves.

S: They’ve got false lips on, you know, these white women, they go and inject all sorts of shit into their lips and then call, you know, black people and brown people, monkeys. They call us monkeys even though they have no lips or something. You’ve pointed out,

D: Yeah

S: you know, it’s like, excuse me.

S: She’s, Logan’s lying through inflated lips.

S: And Indy because she’s stupid becomes a victim of their games. And their construct. I don’t blame Indy, but she’s stupid.

S: What happens at tribal council?

D: Well, Rich turns the tables on everyone.

S: He can’t be that smart. He’s just an idiot. He thinks he’s got something happening.

D: Well he just like spills the beans.

S: Right, and says, you know, everyone’s like, everyone’s shit stirring, blah, blah, blah. So everyone’s accusing Indy of lying.

D: Yeah,

S: But is this the episode where Kent comes out and tells everybody…

D: Yes, that’s right. He he blamed

S: Myles

D: because he wanted to get rid of Myles. That was his big plan. And then he confesses a tribal council to burning Max’s hat.

S: So what is the mentality of someone like that?

D: I don’t know if it was a strategic thing,

S: I mean I don’t quite understand why he has done this.

D: So I think he wanted to set Myles up. So he burnt Max’s hat.

S: Right, right. But why not wait until Myles has gone to say I’ve sabotaged you? Why actually say it before it makes any impact?

D: Yeah.

S: It doesn’t make him look clever. It makes him look like a rabid idiot. And if anyone has ever done business with him, all they’re thinking is, oh my gosh,

S: This is the kind of guy who thinks he can be president of a country. Because he thinks he’s really, really smart. So it’s crazy.

D: I mean, come on.

S: What?

D: One of them is.

S: In their construct? Sure. But like Kent is in the real world, he’s a multi-millionaire because he inherited that money when his father died, when Kent was in his, mid 20s.

S: And then Kent went on a midlife crisis thing at 25 whatever and travelled the world. How lucky for some.

D: And discovered himself.

S: Yes. And then became a multi-million dollar, boss at, business.

S: Oh, okay. So you went and discovered Zen and came back a corporate. Okay, cool. Cool. Yeah. All right. What else happens at tribal council?

S: You know, Rich is supposed to be getting voted out, but he’s come and dobbed Indy in.

S: Yeah. So what’s going to happen? Do the girls want to have a tight woman alliance or has Indy proven that she is the token after all? And her ego got the better of her? Unfortunately. And Indy got voted out.

D: She freaked out. She shouldn’t have done that to Rich. She should have just stuck with the coven and played her game.

S: She should have played her own game.

D: She panicked.

S: She panicked.

D: I don’t know what happened there?

S: Because she got angry. Her ego got the best of her.

D: It’s emotional, right? It gets emotional and that’s part of the game.

S: Logan plays an emotional game.

D: No. But see. But who is she? And in the construct already she’s established herself as the whatever, Chief

S: Chief, you know, idiot.

D: You know. And that’s a different kind of emotion already, see.

D: Logan’s emotion is based on her power and then Indy’s emotions are based on her rejection. And she’s familiar with that.

S: Amateur psychologists would say, Logan has been rejected, you know, and felt hurt and etc. etc.. So she makes sure that she’s always the one doing the rejection. She’s very, very emotions based. So you know Rich comes and tells her about what Indy said immediately.

S: How dare she’s blah blah blah. So Logan is an emotional basket case, a total keg and, waiting to be blown up. She’s she’s ridiculous.

S: I have met many Logan’s in my life and they have f#!Xed me over, as any brown and black woman can tell you, a Logan will fuck you over any time.

S: Indy should have played this better.

D: Yeah,

S: Indy was really, really stupid and deserve to be voted out.

D: Yeah that’s it. I agree, I feel bad for her and everything, but no, it’s the game and it’s a taste

S: of what the real world actually is.

D: Exactly what that is, the real world.

D: And it’s very clear what kind of world it is.

S: Survivor… That was episode two.
