Survivor Edge of Extinction: First One Out podcast episode 2 takeaways

The second episode of the First One Out podcast gives us revealing interviews with the Kama tribe’s seven new castaways from Survivor: Edge of Extinction.

Josh Wigler’s First One Out podcast helps listeners to see the different mindsets between a returnee and a newbie. Thefirst episodeshowed us how prepared, both mentally and physically, the four returning players are as they enterSurvivor: Edge of Extinction. Theirstrategies and gameplans go beyond the typical remarksof: “I want to play a good social game.”

I’m not saying that the new players aren’t ready, some of them have done surprisingly intense preparation forSurvivor. However, while a few of the first-timers are ready to play this game, the returnees are ready to win it. Episode 2 of First One Out, which youcan find on RHAP here, allows us to get familiar with the Kama tribe. The seven new players from this tribe are joined by Joe and Aubry. Here a few interesting points we learned about each of the castaways.

Ron Clark

He is the puzzle master!If you thought Christian was good, wait untilRon Clarkgets his hands on a puzzle. He told Josh Wigler that hewent through every single puzzle inSurvivorhistory, finding a way to reconstruct them and practice solving them over the past six months. That is some serious dedication! Ron said that he would definitely volunteer for puzzles, especially if it’s one thatSurvivorhas used before.

Aurora McCreary

Understands how to manipulate.Out of all the castaways on the Kama tribe,Aurora is the most self-awareof her abilities and cognizant of how to play a strong strategic game. She is a divorce attorney and is used to handling arguments and difficult situations without getting emotionally involved. She wisely mentioned that the goal isn’t to convince people to vote your way, the objective is to make them think that your gameplan is actually their gameplan. If Aurora can mesh with her tribe early, then expect some brutal blindsides as the game progresses.

Victoria Baamonde

Received encouragement from aSurvivorwinner!The one big takeaway from Victoria’s interview is thatshe is a legit superfan. A hilarious story that she shared was that she connected with Cochran on Tinder! She said that Cochran got irritated when all she was messaging him about wasSurvivorrelated questions. Victoria did say that he gave her some advice about applying, and maybe that’s what led her to be cast in season 38!

Gavin Whitson

He got married just two days before arriving in Fiji!We go from one superfan to another. When Gavin got the call that he made the final cast ofEdge of Extinction, Gavin wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of his dream, even a wedding! It so happened that he booked his wedding during the filming of season 38.

Although they made arrangements 18 months in advanced, Gavin was able to successfully move his wedding day just before he had to leave on a “work trip.” That’s some intense dedication. Gavin claims to possess the southern charm of J.T. and the brains of Fishbach. That might be a lofty comparison, but he seems very similar to a Nick Wilson type of player that has the potential to make it to the end without becoming too big of a target.

Julie Rosenberg

Julie is a Michele Fitzgerald type of playerthat could make it all the way.Josh Wigler couldn’t stop himself from seeing 46-year old Julie Rosenberg as an older version of Michele Fitzgerald. Michele beat out Aubry for the title of SoleSurvivorback inKaoh Rong, mainly because of a bitter jury who were influenced by Michele’s innocence. Julie does give off that same vibe. She comes across as a very sweet, stay at home mom that will be loyal to any alliance she makes.

Eric Hafemann

Is out there for the experience as opposed to cutting throats.Similar to Julie,Eric is a genuinely nice personthat feels more like an old schoolSurvivorplayer. This fireman did mention that he’s prepared to pull off a big move, but will try not to be excessively mean to anyone. He is there to have a fun time and fulfill a dream, so if he’s going to make it far, it’s probably going to be by Immunity wins or by coasting along with a strong alliance.

Julia Carter

She has an incredible connection toSurvivor.Julia shared her moving story of how the showbecame a part of her life. She lost her father when she was just six years old, and not too long after, the first season ofSurvivoraired. Ever since, the show has become an escape for Julia and she never misses an episode. In terms of her gameplay,Julia is much more of a social threatthan a strategic type of player, that kind of reminds me of Ali Elliott fromHeroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.
