@@katebunkoff4489 no that’s not a lot over 5 days. As someone frequently in hospital that’s pretty normal. It also depends if they’re litre bags or 500ml bags. I once got 3 litres over about 6 hours to help bring my heart rate down.
The average I would say is 2-3 bags of 500ml saline a day for people on IV fluids. In a non emergency a bag is usually ran over 6-8 hours but can vary depending on how much the patient is able to take in orally on their own.
I remember that moment well as after it was revealed that Shane was butt naked carrying Bruce off the beach, me and my family spent a solid 20 minutes rewinding and trying to figure out the context around him losing his pants. The whole scene really just summarized how chaotic Survivor can be at times.
Ive always loved that Jeff kinda gets the med team talking through whats happening. Even if theyre gentle on how visceral they are with the word choices, they dont sugar coat how serious it is and can be. And while, yes, the important thing is helping the person, its a great way to communicate to the production team, cast, and audience whats going on
As scarring, disgusting and depressing as all of these are, I can't help but find it great that both medevacs on OW happened. Without her wrist injury Kourtney has to have a much longer battle with cancer and without his bacteria Colton might actually have done well game-wise 😬
I'm not sure why you're so dismissive of some of these injuries. The finger infection/leg infection could have easily gone septic and become lethal. Also, the guys who were constipated were probably also dehydrated, and that would be quite painful. These injuries aren't for our entertainment, yes, they're dramatic, but if the medical team thinks something is serious, I would side with them. I understand adding some humor to keep the video light, but I don't want anyone to think they shouldn't take medical issues seriously.
To his credit, Dr. Mike reacted to Shamar's injury and instantly knew how painful and serious it could become so maybe we shouldn't have made such fun of him
For Shane it has to be mentioned that he removed his pants because he was chafing (showed it to cerie the episode prior) and didn’t wanna get his last dry pair wet when they put Bruce in the boat. He is still top 5 all time survivor characters though
i thought he was taking a piss and / or shit and didn't have an opportunity to put them back on since they wanted to get bruce out of these as soon as possible ??? could be a mandala effect tho
Shoutout to poor James who got medevac'd in Micronesia only to return for Season 20 and nearly get medevac'd again due to injuring his leg in a challenge that never should've returned! Also that thumbnail is siiicckk 😍
I think I was nine or ten years old when I saw Russell Swan’s medevac and I think I almost started crying, not just because a man looked like he was about to die on my tv but because he was my favourite player that season. What a way to go out, but I’m happy he’s doing so much better these days
I used to have lithium prescribed for mental illness. You're not kidding--if I missed a single dose, the withdrawal made sure I knew it. I can't imagine why Jackson wouldn't say anything, even if he was weaning off. I can only imagine the pain he was feeling from cold-turkey.
You forgot to mention that if James is not evacuated in Micronesia, there's a final 3, where Cirie will still be in the game come the FTC. where she probably wins.
There were actually three quits and one ejection that happened due to medical reasons: Gary, Dana, and Bi quit the game for medical reasons despite being cleared to continue by the medical team, while Jackson was ejected because of a rule violation regarding the use of his medications.
I wonder why they don't just have Medical regularly check each contestant for minor cuts and scrapes long before they progress to infections. Maybe they do now, but as recently as Neal in season 32 they apparently weren't doing it.
I wonder that too but also why aren’t the players telling someone when they notice the earlier signs of infection? It seems like they are open to antibiotics and other treatments before it looks like that guys freaking back
I wonder if people are just so commonly getting injured and they’re out there in the jungle where things fester that they really can’t keep on top of it. Unless you had a medical person assigned to only 1-2 players they’d be spending a lot of time each day just checking over injuries. It takes so little time in the jungle for something to go from minor to serious they’ve really need to be checking them all over twice a day. I have noticed a lot more bandages in more recent seasons though so it seems like maybe they are all being more closely monitored than they were in the past.
God, Neal. His were horrific. I get they kind of want to stay out of it but like... Don't let that become an issue in the first place. It's like they werent even on set or something because his knee and back were so bad. Looking at them hurts, it's repulsive.
Thought we’d see Terry leaving Second Chance in here as well. May not have been a traditional medevac but it’s still classified as one, and with his situation at home leaving the game was the right thing for him to do
I think that counts more as a quit because it wasn’t exactly medically necessary for Terry to leave, he just had to be with his son. It’s one of the more forgivable quits though alongside Jenna Morasca’s.
@@VitaEmerald324 I have this in a special category, there with AS Jenna and Dana from Philippines. While they weren't forced to leave, things would've been legitimate hell for them should they have stayed. Plus, I'm not even sure they gave Terry a choice to stay
@@VitaEmerald324 Terry is mostly (on the wiki for instance) considered an evac (which makes sense to me, Jeff didn't exactly emphasize Terry having a choice in the matter).
The evacuations in s26 were weird, and both Erik and Shamar blamed the medical team for carelessness. Also, that same team was questionable in responsibility, seeing the cases on both seasons before it with Dana and Colton. I’m no fan of Colton (in fact, he’s one of the players I hate the most), but his case does seem suspicious when you check the other details regarding it, especially with that specific team.
God, I felt so bad for Caleb, he is one of my favorite Survivor players and I'm so glad he happened to be okay -- Survivor truly can be a terrifying game
@@funkybanana4014 He had a pretty bad infection in his foot that basically made it impossible to stay in the game much longer. From what I heard he wanted to stay for tribal council to help blindside Ozzy but for whatever reason he couldn't or changed his mind and instead asked to be voted out. Had he not gone that round though he very likely would have been evacuated.
I think the list of multi time players to never get voted off is Jenna Morasca, Mike Skupin, Colton Cumbie and Michelle Fitzgerald... what company to be in. (Sandra Diaz-Twine, Amanda Kimmel and Russel Hantz all have been on the list previously).
Davie actually debunked the whole “Nick going home first” thing in an interview. Supposedly the decision would have been between Pat and Lyrsa if I’m not mistaken.
There's mixed reports overall and later Davie even clarified that. I do however think anyone believing the vote was set is silly and that's evidenced by the very next vote - Jessica going was unexpected and probably wouldn't have been thought of beforehand. What is a fact is Nick was a considered option to go at the first vote and *could've* left, so that's why people note it.
There's actually 1 "Medevac" that was missed in this video, but it's understandable that it was missed. After all, it's kind of a technicality, and more depends on how you look at it (and it's why Medevac is in quotes). In Survivor Cambodia, Terry Deitz was also medevac'd. But the difference here is that it wasn't because of an injury that Terry sustained, rather he was pulled from the game due to a family emergency (his son Danny being in the hospital and both the doctor and his wife believing it being serious enough for him to leave and be involved). A very sad exit for a great player for sure, but the good news is that Danny survived the heart transplant!

Here's the thing about Erik's evacuation. It changed a LOT for the finale. Where as the day 37 challenge was initially for immunity, they had to change it to reward with a last minute thought of OP advantage for the winner. Cochran won that challenge and for the sake of argument, let's say that Erik is voted out anyway. The final 4 go into that final immunity challenge without the OP advantage that Cochran had and given that it was a 70% sprint/endurance challenge and 30% puzzle. Most likely Eddie wins that challenge given that he's the only physical player left and votes Cochran out. Cochran only won that challenge because of his advantage that the producers had to think up last minute because of Erik's med evac.
If tall russell didn't collapse and metavacced i actually believed he could have won with his strengths and charm alone, it sucks how he went out, he was a beast
Yeah I think so too I think mike skupin would have won, Jonathan penner could have made a deep run, James clement could have won, Russell swan could have won, Colton actually could have made a deep run, I think Erik maybe could have won, I think Caleb would have gone a lot further, I think Neal gottlieb definitely could have won he was completely robbed, I think Jackson fox could have really done well, I think Bruce Perrault could have done well too
I had typed up this whole story when my computer randomly restarted... here we go again. It was spring of 2016, and Survivor: Kaoh Rong was on. (Well, not on, but in season.) My parents, who were longtime Survivor fans, with my mom even going back to Australia, wanted to introduce my sister and I to it, and while I showed no interest, my sister did. Over the next week or so, she'd tell me some of the most memorable moments, and I slowly considered watching. Fast forward to when the rest of the family was watching episode 4. I came out to get a drink, and I saw the three collapsed players. Intrigued, I watched the rest of the scene to see how it would play out, and ended up finishing the episode. I had been watching every episode of Survivor ever since, with the exception of HHH's post-merge and the entirety of Ghost Island. Thanks, Caleb.
it doesn't surprise me that russell fainting was one of the scariest. someone fainting/collapsing is...less graceful than people tend to imagine. when my b12 deficiency was untreated i once fainted into a trash can, woke up with one of those 100oz tomato paste can lids lodged the meat of my hand and all my coworkers standing over me screaming lol
Colton getting medevac I found satisfying seeing that little prick in pain. Whats funny is Caleb his partner who was in blood vs water seemed like a chill person
17:37 The Amber comment here caught me completely off-guard and made me rewind to make sure I heard correctly (mostly because I wasn't expecting a Big Brother reference on a Survivor video on a channel that doesn't make Big Brother content)
When Russell gets medically evacuated, Monica would have been going instead of Shambo. So they same happens execept Russell Swan goes out in 11th instead of Kelly and Kelly is probaly 7th instead of Monica.
@@Ori_Kohav Yeah, but it would be just Laura and Kelly, because Monica would be out. I was thinking he would get rid of the tribe leader instead maybe. But I understand were you are coming from.
If I had a nickel for every time someone named Bruce was medevaced from Survivor, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
To be fair, severe constipation can have very serious complications. If it hurts really bad, get it checked out before things get out of hand. Especially in a situation where emergency surgery might be hard to get quickly. No clue why the dude was naked though😅
Don’t forget that if we had a world where James didn’t get medevaced, Cirie probably wins Micronesia, as the two medevacs+1 quit caused production to quickly swap to a final two. This ALSO means we get Cirie in WaW over Parvati unless this other world has Parvati win over Sandra in HvV, making Cirie take a different WaW female slot (Kim’s?).
23:20 Although you absolutely SHOULD NOT stop taking medication for mental health without consulting your doctor, it's worth noting that Lithium actually doesn't have very many withdrawal symptoms. I think the hydration/dizziness bit was just a justification to confront and boot him, and I think they were entirely justified. People who take lithium tend to be taking it for a reason, most commonly bipolar disorder, and quitting your mood stabilizer without supervision--not to mention on a deserted island under the stress of a survival competition TV show--is extremely, EXTREMELY dangerous. If you're reading this and you've missed a dose of your mood stabilizer without feeling sick, and you think maybe you don't need it or that it's not working: don't change anything without discussing it with your doctor. If you want to change your dose or stop taking that/any medication, you can make a plan for that together with your doctor, which I promise is infinitely easier than ending up in a mental hospital because you were unfortunate enough to be born with an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. Trust me.
The harsh weather here in Cambodia is not an exaggeration. It can get stupid hot for 6 months and it can rain heavily for the other 6 as u can see from both seasons. Koh Rong was filmed before Cambodia but they switch the order which it will air. Thats why Koh Rong is hot while Cambodia is all rain
His iv bag was probably antibiotics to keep the infection from spreading.. I spent a week in the hospital hooked up to iv antibiotics due to cellulitis in my leg
I felt so bad for Pat on 37. I think he would have done pretty well. I also miss snarky sassy Jeff. The new nice Jeff is not nearly as entertaining OR honest
Lithium guy still pisses me off. Not only was he willing to risk his symptoms returning, which could be absolutely catastrophic if he went into psychosis or mania, but he continued to lie about what the lithium is for! He kept saying he was taking it for anxiety when it has zero anti anxiety effects and is mostly prescribed for bipolar (every so often for depression). Such a liar and such a waste of a spot.
Hate to say it but hearing about the tumor that Kourtney had, it probably was a good thing she did get hurt. A lot of people don't know there is a tumor there until it is too late.
I think it was Canadian Survivor, but on a challenge one guy had a heart attack and actually died. That certainly is pretty bad, obviously it hit the host pretty bad
There have been two fatalities in international Survivor. One was the French season where a 25yo guy died of cardiac arrest during the first challenge on Day 1 and the season was cancelled immediately (and the guy in charge of health and safety on that season later committed suicide out of guilt). Then there was the Bulgarian version where an older guy died in the middle of a challenge *in the middle of a season* and the season kept on going. It's eerie; the season was up on RUclips as of last year, maybe it still is. The episode where he dies starts with a memorial for him (because it had been international news during filming so everybody knew), when the challenge begins it starts normal but soon the music gets depressing, the shots start getting shorter with cuts to black in between, then you see Medical around a guy on the ground and the rest of the cast members crying. Then it cuts into a long (post-production) memorial for the guy, followed by what I think was a sort of eulogy for him with the host and contestants at Tribal Council (no vote outs, of course). A few episodes later, a helicopter shows up to the site of a challenge and out comes the guy who'd hosted previous Survivor BG seasons, turns out he's here to take over after the new host quits in the middle of the season; my personal theory is that the host at the time quit as soon as the guy died and that was just how long it took production to contact the old host and fly him out to the filming location in the Philippines.
The description of Bruce's medevac somehow being of leisure status is unfair. It turned out the reason for his pain had to do with an intestinal blockage, which can actually be fatal if not treated.
Imagine going through the pain of an intestinal blockage while there is a woman singing on one side of you, an exposed shlong on the other side, and an entire film crew in your face...surreal.
Mistake correction about One World, the main alliance didn’t stick together all the way. Kat was booted over Christina and Tarzan, and she voted Sabrina in that tribal.
8:59 Russel S was such a favorite contestant i named a Sonic oc after him i asked my aunt if i could watch Survivor 42 on her tv, and when Jackson anounced he was being taken off, i was upset i was like "NO...NO"
@@maxperdu4612 To be fair you need to take a close look to see if this is a quit where when Dana quits we know she's quitting. When Gary quits the dialogue can make it seem that medical is pulling him and he's just happy that he is going to get better.
And the reason Jeff treated Jackson with kids gloves is because it wasn't Jackson's fault it was production's fault like you just said they had an alternate they could have put in his place but they decided to put him in
I'm sure it's been mentioned in the comments somewhere, but you didn't mention the implications of Michael, Jonathan and Russell not coming back for Philippines if they hadn't been evacuated.
@@arievfrank8370 Fair enough...it wasn't so much a criticism of you as me being personally amused that THE "Survivor Amber" was Amber B through the majority of her appearances on the show. I know nothing of Big Brother, so I can't speak to that at all.

I feel less bad for Caleb considering how much of a creep he was on BB16 (I am a BB superfan, same for Survivor), but man that was brutal.
Why is the bug in Jenna's ear the most horrifying thing is this video? So gross!!
If tall russell didn't collapse and metavacced i actually believed he could have won with his strengths and charm alone, it sucks how he went out, he was a beast
Yeah I think so too I think mike skupin would have won, Jonathan penner could have made a deep run, James clement could have won, Russell swan could have won, Colton actually could have made a deep run, I think Erik maybe could have won, I think Caleb would have gone a lot further, I think Neal gottlieb definitely could have won he was completely robbed, I think Jackson fox could have really done well, I think Bruce Perrault could have done well too
That tribe without Shanbo and with Russel, would've dominated Samoa
Survivor: What could Kaoh Rong?
Excellent pun 👏👏👏
it was more like survivor gone wrong
I had typed up this whole story when my computer randomly restarted... here we go again.
It was spring of 2016, and Survivor: Kaoh Rong was on. (Well, not on, but in season.) My parents, who were longtime Survivor fans, with my mom even going back to Australia, wanted to introduce my sister and I to it, and while I showed no interest, my sister did. Over the next week or so, she'd tell me some of the most memorable moments, and I slowly considered watching. Fast forward to when the rest of the family was watching episode 4. I came out to get a drink, and I saw the three collapsed players. Intrigued, I watched the rest of the scene to see how it would play out, and ended up finishing the episode. I had been watching every episode of Survivor ever since, with the exception of HHH's post-merge and the entirety of Ghost Island.
Thanks, Caleb.
it doesn't surprise me that russell fainting was one of the scariest. someone fainting/collapsing is...less graceful than people tend to imagine. when my b12 deficiency was untreated i once fainted into a trash can, woke up with one of those 100oz tomato paste can lids lodged the meat of my hand and all my coworkers standing over me screaming lol
Colton getting medevac I found satisfying seeing that little prick in pain. Whats funny is Caleb his partner who was in blood vs water seemed like a chill person
i use to feel bad when Skoopin fell into the fire. nowadays i uhhhhh yeah
17:37 The Amber comment here caught me completely off-guard and made me rewind to make sure I heard correctly (mostly because I wasn't expecting a Big Brother reference on a Survivor video on a channel that doesn't make Big Brother content)
When Russell gets medically evacuated, Monica would have been going instead of Shambo. So they same happens execept Russell Swan goes out in 11th instead of Kelly and Kelly is probaly 7th instead of Monica.
Actually, I think Kelly still goes, since she was very close to Laura, and Russell S gets booted at final 8, pushing Dave Ball to 7th place
@@Ori_Kohav Yeah, but it would be just Laura and Kelly, because Monica would be out. I was thinking he would get rid of the tribe leader instead maybe. But I understand were you are coming from.
If I had a nickel for every time someone named Bruce was medevaced from Survivor, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Yeah it is
History of quits should be next😀. BTW you should mention S25, where 3 med evacs players come back😅
To be fair, severe constipation can have very serious complications. If it hurts really bad, get it checked out before things get out of hand. Especially in a situation where emergency surgery might be hard to get quickly. No clue why the dude was naked though😅
Don’t forget that if we had a world where James didn’t get medevaced, Cirie probably wins Micronesia, as the two medevacs+1 quit caused production to quickly swap to a final two. This ALSO means we get Cirie in WaW over Parvati unless this other world has Parvati win over Sandra in HvV, making Cirie take a different WaW female slot (Kim’s?).
23:20 Although you absolutely SHOULD NOT stop taking medication for mental health without consulting your doctor, it's worth noting that Lithium actually doesn't have very many withdrawal symptoms. I think the hydration/dizziness bit was just a justification to confront and boot him, and I think they were entirely justified. People who take lithium tend to be taking it for a reason, most commonly bipolar disorder, and quitting your mood stabilizer without supervision--not to mention on a deserted island under the stress of a survival competition TV show--is extremely, EXTREMELY dangerous. If you're reading this and you've missed a dose of your mood stabilizer without feeling sick, and you think maybe you don't need it or that it's not working: don't change anything without discussing it with your doctor. If you want to change your dose or stop taking that/any medication, you can make a plan for that together with your doctor, which I promise is infinitely easier than ending up in a mental hospital because you were unfortunate enough to be born with an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. Trust me.
The harsh weather here in Cambodia is not an exaggeration. It can get stupid hot for 6 months and it can rain heavily for the other 6 as u can see from both seasons. Koh Rong was filmed before Cambodia but they switch the order which it will air. Thats why Koh Rong is hot while Cambodia is all rain
i think it was the same location however yeah the weather in cambodia can be rough vietnam too
i think jackson didnt disclose because he knew that he would never get off the lithium enough to ever actually play
I still think that Colton hammed it up a bit to get medevaced out because his game was falling apart at that point.
I actually think that Colton could have made a deep run if he hadn’t been “medevaced”
His iv bag was probably antibiotics to keep the infection from spreading..
I spent a week in the hospital hooked up to iv antibiotics due to cellulitis in my leg
I’ve recently started watching survivor from S1, EVERY time I light a fire now I think of Mike…
I felt so bad for Pat on 37. I think he would have done pretty well. I also miss snarky sassy Jeff. The new nice Jeff is not nearly as entertaining OR honest
the way hes digging you'd think ambers down there. XDDDDD fkn hilarious
Lithium guy still pisses me off. Not only was he willing to risk his symptoms returning, which could be absolutely catastrophic if he went into psychosis or mania, but he continued to lie about what the lithium is for! He kept saying he was taking it for anxiety when it has zero anti anxiety effects and is mostly prescribed for bipolar (every so often for depression). Such a liar and such a waste of a spot.
"Back to Rock and Roll Jeopardy for me" was the best line
Hate to say it but hearing about the tumor that Kourtney had, it probably was a good thing she did get hurt. A lot of people don't know there is a tumor there until it is too late.

I think it was Canadian Survivor, but on a challenge one guy had a heart attack and actually died. That certainly is pretty bad, obviously it hit the host pretty bad
I’m Canadian and I’ve actually never heard about Canadian Survivor. do you know if that’s the official name/what year it aired?
There have been two fatalities in international Survivor. One was the French season where a 25yo guy died of cardiac arrest during the first challenge on Day 1 and the season was cancelled immediately (and the guy in charge of health and safety on that season later committed suicide out of guilt). Then there was the Bulgarian version where an older guy died in the middle of a challenge *in the middle of a season* and the season kept on going. It's eerie; the season was up on RUclips as of last year, maybe it still is. The episode where he dies starts with a memorial for him (because it had been international news during filming so everybody knew), when the challenge begins it starts normal but soon the music gets depressing, the shots start getting shorter with cuts to black in between, then you see Medical around a guy on the ground and the rest of the cast members crying. Then it cuts into a long (post-production) memorial for the guy, followed by what I think was a sort of eulogy for him with the host and contestants at Tribal Council (no vote outs, of course). A few episodes later, a helicopter shows up to the site of a challenge and out comes the guy who'd hosted previous Survivor BG seasons, turns out he's here to take over after the new host quits in the middle of the season; my personal theory is that the host at the time quit as soon as the guy died and that was just how long it took production to contact the old host and fly him out to the filming location in the Philippines.
@@tracychallice1099 It wasn't Canada, see my comment replying to Donna
It was French survivor
I'll always say if Erik stays in Caramoan and orchestrates John's vote out, he wins the season. I say we were robbed of a good story.
The description of Bruce's medevac somehow being of leisure status is unfair. It turned out the reason for his pain had to do with an intestinal blockage, which can actually be fatal if not treated.
Imagine going through the pain of an intestinal blockage while there is a woman singing on one side of you, an exposed shlong on the other side, and an entire film crew in your face...surreal.
Yeah they said that Bruce could have died if he had gone much longer like that
Mistake correction about One World, the main alliance didn’t stick together all the way. Kat was booted over Christina and Tarzan, and she voted Sabrina in that tribal.
A person’s brain and organs start to boil at 108°F. If one reaches 110°-111°F and survives, he/she is lucky. There may be brain damage…
Why did Janu get a secret clip at 18:48?

Russel S was such a favorite contestant i named a Sonic oc after him
i asked my aunt if i could watch Survivor 42 on her tv, and when Jackson anounced he was being taken off, i was upset i was like "NO...NO"
Russell Swan's injury was scary
Did we forget Gary from Fiji? I mean his evacuation wasn’t super memorable or game changing, but still something to mention.
Similar to Dana and Bi, he technically quit
interesting… never mind then lol
@@maxperdu4612 To be fair you need to take a close look to see if this is a quit where when Dana quits we know she's quitting. When Gary quits the dialogue can make it seem that medical is pulling him and he's just happy that he is going to get better.
@iankevinsevilla& Matt grinstead mayle
you did say fan favorite... definitely got me there.
And the reason Jeff treated Jackson with kids gloves is because it wasn't Jackson's fault it was production's fault like you just said they had an alternate they could have put in his place but they decided to put him in
Can you do the History of Quits in Survivor
You should do an updated version of the Survivor medevacs video by including Bruce Perreault from Survivor 44.
I'm sure it's been mentioned in the comments somewhere, but you didn't mention the implications of Michael, Jonathan and Russell not coming back for Philippines if they hadn't been evacuated.
Can someone remind me why Colton was allowed to return in BvW? I mean, it was nice to have Caleb play but did that really justify Colton’s return?
i would have rather seen troyzan tbh
You forgot the Pearl Islands medical evacuatio..err quit by Osten with a staph infection
I swear there were a couple other medevacs? I vaguely remember someone having a super thorny branch fall on them in one of the earlier seasons.
11:49 - “must’ve seen a minority or something” 😭🤣
“He must have seen a minority or something” 😂😂😂
Imagine getting casted on survivor just to lose to a medevac
It would be devastating
You forgot Lyndsey from Cagayan love your vids!!!!
she quit not med evacuated...
The Amber B mention make me laugh
I like how you give the last initial to clarify, when Survivor's Amber had that same last initial the first two times she played.
@@Rodanguirus i think I called her Amber B because in the season of the challenge that she won there was another Amber so the B got stuck in my memory
@@arievfrank8370 Fair enough...it wasn't so much a criticism of you as me being personally amused that THE "Survivor Amber" was Amber B through the majority of her appearances on the show. I know nothing of Big Brother, so I can't speak to that at all.
Michael David Skupin (/ˈskuːpɪn/; born January 29, 1962) is an American software publisher, television personality, convicted fraudster and child sex offender, and motivational speaker. Best known for competing on two seasons of the reality competition show Survivor, he became the first person ever to be medically evacuated from the game after falling into a fire on Survivor: The Australian Outback.
I didn’t get the joke about Caleb and Amber (or ember)? Did Caleb have anything to do with Amber Mariano? 🤔
It was a reference to Caleb’s time on Big Brother where he had a creepy infatuation with another contestant named Amber.
These are why I don’t plan on going on the show
Ahem, I think you mean God-appointed leader of Kucha.
Thanks!
Can u please switch up the music u use in the background?? I’m just trying to binge ur videos but at this point I cannot do it anymore bc the music is so repetitive and starting to drive me craZy;(
Russell has way more problems that maybe they didn't catch beforehand. He's jaundiced.
Now 44 added 2 more in Matthew and Bruce
crazy. no way i’d be able to survive out their
Okay saying Skupin was robbed is wild given the circumstances.
