Hi everyone, and welcome back to TV Reload!

Thank you for clicking or downloading today’s episode, featuring Paulie, who was recently eliminated from Australian Survivor: Brains vs. Brawn 2.

Paulie was a fantastic addition to the Brawn tribe and I loved seeing a queer man representing, with just as much strength as the 'straighty one-eighties' brawn boys.'

This sixth week of the competition brought a major twist, forcing some players back to basics. It also delivered one of the most chaotic tribal councils yet—so wild, in fact, that it deserves its own podcast!

• In this episode, Paulie opens up about his sexuality, including his experience coming out to his father and how fans have responded to his story. 
• We will unpack whether his kindness was mistaken for weakness, and what he thinks of Kaelan’s strategy at this point of the game. Has he embraced a golden retriever narrative?
• Paulie will also share his thoughts on Myles’ survival in the game and what his friendship looks like now with AJ.
• I’ll ask Paulie about his reaction to being labeled the “snake blood salesman,” and we’ll dive into his take on those bitchy jury faces we have seen on the jury so far.

There’s so much to unpack, with plenty of inside revelations. So sit back, relax, and enjoy as we dive into the incredible world of Australian Survivor, which returns this Sunday night!
