At least it was Jay, he was kinda like...

Nice, we'll put all of that in here.

You can write the name that you want out, you can give us any reason why.

Y'all are fucked, bro.

Imagine how we feel, bro.

Following orders, bro.

Following orders is crazy.

Wow.

I was gonna put the blame on someone but fuck yeah.

I'm gonna give him a little drawing too.

Alright, bro.

Alright.

When you said following orders, did you guys talk about this?

I can't say much because the leader's gonna get mad.

The clan?

Oh, I'm saying you guys need cameras after hours, bro.

Okay.

Someone's been running the ship.

Alright Matt.

Who's running this shit?

Wait, dude?

He's been gone for a minute.

David's probably giving a good reason.

I don't even have a reason.

All right, you can go ahead and write the name down.

You don't have to say any reason why.

If you want to, you can.

We talked about it last night, and I think a lot of us are on the same page that we're going to vote Jake out.

Damn, so you all had a great discussion about this.

Yeah.

I mean, I love the guy.

He's joking.

Where was Jake at the entire time?

That shit's wild.

That shit making a noise?

Do that again?

No. I'm scared to hit it.

I can't lie.

Just tap it.

I'll tap it if you hit it.

You're not pussy.

119

Listen, nothing personal, love you to death, kid, but I think you have the egg.

120

121

I'm sorry, gang.

122

123

I don't, it didn't have to be you, but every time we talk about the egg, you get mad quiet, and I don't like that.

Bro, listen.

130

He said it.

131

He said it.

132

He blamed him for it.

133

Five different things, bro.

134

All right.

135

Hopefully, I'm not getting back the fuck door, but I don't know what these other niggas said.

136

There's supposed to be a line going on here.

137

I'm going to have to beg.

138

I'm going to have to back guard my Indian friend and vote for Jake.

139

Wait, you see it?

140

So back door what?

141

Okay, look.

142

Listen

143

We need some insider info on what's going on in this house cuz we're hearing about

144

Clash of Clans we've been hearing about We've been learning about Oh,

145

hances So I'm gonna need to know what's going on behind the scenes okay yesterday, right?

146

Who's the leader?

147

There's two.

148

It's me Who are you leading bro?

149

What what on earth are you leading?

150

I don't know if you guys are they listen you want me to give me the Lord up?

151

Okay, yes, please spill.

152

You guys left yesterday, right?

153

Nico comes up to me first.

154

I think maybe no, he went up to these other niggas.

155

He was like, yo bro, like what did Jake do with Carla was fucked up.

156

What I'm thinking, he said he has an alliance over again.

157

I'm like, bro, I have to join the majority, you know, wins.

158

I'm not gonna fuck up.

159

This nigga is 25 to fuck up.

160

BANG!

161

Niggas!

162

So I was like, all right, I'm with whatever.

163

And he kept trying to like talk me into it or whatever.

164

And I'm like, bro, I got it bro.

165

I'm up for that nigga.

166

And so for the rest of the day, right, we kept adding ns onto our s*, okay?

167

So if you're telling me that they're going to backdoor me, right, and these ns come here to vote for Jake, I'm going to have to make it to the top, and I'm going to have to f* you.

168

I'm not going to hold you, though.

169

How do you know that there can only be one leader?

170

And eventually, because I'm not going to lie, this s* is a pretty even race right now.

171

No one is safe at this point.

172

They're not doing the alliance.

173

No. We heard from only two people talking about leader said this, leader said that, and then that's what got us interested.

174

It wasn't a leader.

175

It was just choreographing everything.

176

I hate these I can't lie.

177

I'm not gonna lie.

178

I mean, I can't say anything.

179

I don't want to influence your decision, but you gotta put a name down.

180

Are you guys gonna tell them who you vote for?

181

Nah, but they'll be able to watch stream back Wait,

182

faaa Faaa Alright FAAAAAA

183

Would've won the chain Whoever would've won the chain would've genuinely had Atari on their back I don't know about y'all

184

Dior What was your thought process with not wanting the last one?

185

If I don't feel something, I don't want it.

186

That's real though.

187

He's keeping it a buck.

188

He's just calling that chain blame.

189

Gentry, who'd you vote?

190

Who do you vote for?

191

I voted for Ava.

192

He hasn't been AD though.

193

Alright, so you're gonna write down who you want to send home.

194

You don't have to tell us any reason why.

195

Or for what.

196

You could.

197

You could just see a little quick I caught that staring at my body a little

198

I'm not rocking with that shit.

199

I looked in I said oh Not rocking with that

200

Why is his penmanship Why does he have like the best petmanship out of everyone?

201

W jail time Write a name down.

202

You don't have to tell us why if you want to tell us why

203

Trying to think it's hard you could even give you a

204

reason why I say you don't look like a piece of shit I love Brick,

205

but I think I gotta go.

206

Because he could really win the entire thing just off one good day of full porting.

207

Because the total P&L matters at the end, right?

208

I'm not gonna say that.

209

That's what I'm thinking.

210

I think I gotta go with Brick, bro.

211

Right now, he's my favorite one here.

212

Well, he's my second favorite.

213

Garland is my favorite, but he's gone now.

214

Brick's my favorite one now.

215

I'm sorry.

216

We'll go tally up the votes and bring it on out.

217

Let's go ahead.

218

So, it's clear.

219

We know who's going.

220

Let this hit suspense for a little bit.

221

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

222

Just put them in here.

223

Just make some love.

224

Straight off the bat.

225

Jeremy was so unexpected.

226

He's so unexpected.

227

He's out of nowhere, bro.

228

Like, all the day, he's just, Jake, Jake, Jake, his name, Jeremy.

229

It was because he was looking at his body too much.

230

I just wanted him to.

231

All right.

232

So, everybody is honestly a pretty wide variety of votes.

233

I thought it was going to be mainly, you know, one, one or at least one or two people, but it was kind of all over the board.

234

So this is going to be interesting.

235

So, all right, we'll just start listing off the names

236

that were written and then whoever has the most votes when everything's said and done will unfortunately be going home.

237

So the first person that has been voted off Brick that's one vote

238

All right the next person That you guys decided to potentially want to kick off the island Jeremy What?

239

Damn guys No, my hair already ain't that good Jeremy So we're head to head right now Alright,

240

next person Alright The Indian Gentry, it's Gentry He's talking about Gentry, right?

241

One vote No, I know exactly That's one vote for Jake That's one vote for Brick.

242

That's one vote for Jeremy You guys voted that you guys want off the island

243

Nico

244

Votes so far one vote Nico one vote Jeremy one vote Brick one vote Jake next person

245

that you guys voted Jake Next vote Jake

246

One vote Nico these next two have to be for

247

One of these guys and then it would be a tie

248

and then if that is the case we all vote again

249

But you can only vote for those two individual people so the next person and Officially voted off the island

250

I know Nico's plotting on me I want this one you guys I want this this wasn't this

251

so look I'll give you guys a second to to talk a little bit maybe

252

because this wasn't decided by a Challenge this wasn't decided by anything it was decided by you guys

253

so you know if you guys voted for Jake You guys can speak up

254

if you guys did if you guys don't want to that's completely fine Jake You can leave us with some last words,

255

but yeah I voted for Jake because TGR said he'd give me back shots if I did.

256

What?

257

No I did not!

258

Yeah.

259

No I did not.

260

And I was inviting you with the gas too.

261

I was inviting you with the gas.

262

I voted for Jake, justice for Garland man.

263

Last $200 on your affiliate code on funded accounts.

264

I mean, I'm sorry.

265

I'm sorry.

266

Like, you enabled Garland too much, man.

267

Man, I think about the cause and effect he did that I gave him a hundred eight.

268

I'll give him money Did you argue because we were pressing you It's just for darling,

269

but I'm not gonna smile about it like I actually I'm sad to see you go like that ass

270

Let's just say this bro like these are gonna have to limit somebody bro.

271

I don't want to vote anybody, but We gotta go Okay, so watch you call your home.

272

Yeah, I mean.

273

Not for real, yeah, bro.

274

Fuck you.

275

Eventually, yeah, watch who you call your homie, because there's only one winner of this so

276

Jake you got any any last words for the stream before we wrap wrap this up?

277

I think they were just scared I was getting too many

278

payouts here bro like yeah I don't know what payouts mine was kinda true Yeah, low key, that's generational Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

279

How many payouts did you get?

280

At close in like an hour, five Boom, simple.

281

Trying to vote the traders off.

282

It's high IQ play Alright, well, me and Tim need to do our debrief.

283

That's everything from us today, Jake.

284

Super unfortunate, bro.

285

Jake, somebody took me a seat up.

286

Oh, I voted for you.

287

I voted for you because, for one, I joined you on the side limit to probably one of the people I haven't really talked to a lot.

288

And I felt like you weren't really taking it as serious as other people.

289

That's my reason for voting for you.

290

But I do genuinely like you, and I do want to stay in contact.

291

Actually, maybe a collab one day.

292

But that's my reason, it's not a hate, it's just, that's me being honest.

293

Yeah, there's no hope.

294

There's no hope.

295

I'll probably sign in Dallas so we can get on some sleuths and shit.

296

Yeah, where are you sleeping, nigga?

297

Not my crew.

298

I can't see that.

299

That's a show.

300

Fuck you.

301

Fuck you.

302

Haha.

303

Haha.

304

So, G wants to say nothing else?

305

Hey!

306

Hey!

307

Hey!

308

Hey!

309

We kicked the first two people off the island and these guys turned into fucking killers, bruh.

310

These guys don't give no they're ready for the money.

311

All right, Tim Let's do our little debrief and then we'll say goodbye to street Yeah,

312

I mean to be honest Jake got saved by having to do a red car challenge, I guess but he lost his chances at 25,000, which obviously sucks.

313

So how do you feel now that we've eliminated three people?

314

It's crazy, like as crazy as it sounds, it's getting easier.

315

Yeah, yeah.

316

That's what I was going to say.

317

It's getting easier because, bro, we had to like break the ice some way, somehow.

318

And I think we did that yesterday.

319

So it's sad, but you know, it's like as we start getting these guys off the island, you know It's going to come at least more normal and

320

and luckily they'll get used to it too Because now they know what we feel like when we have to send

321

Someone home.

322

I felt a lot not better about sending someone home today But it was just the fact that you know,

323

like yesterday like we got a BBC yesterday Like a straight big-ass dig to the ass, right?

324

But after that, any other dick is just like...

325

Yeah, I don't even feel it.

326

I feel nothing nowadays.

327

Like, emotionless.

328

Nah, but it does suck to have to vote people off, but we wanted to transfer the power over to them today

329

because part of this game is not only trying to make friendships, but also it's competing.

330

You gotta play the whole game correctly.

331

sure that you're friendly with everybody you got to make sure

332

that um and you got to make sure

333

that you can actually win challenges in order to stay safe

334

so yeah bro pretty crazy day three day four is going

335

to be even better i'm excited i'm excited for the the

336

trading challenge yeah tomorrow tomorrow is going to be interesting man

337

we got three people off three people off the island now

338

and it's going to be less and less there's seven people

339

that are not competing for 25 000 who's Who's your favorite now to win?

340

Like on a personal level, like probably Aval, but like on some like who I just wanna see win, like Dave for sure.

341

Like I wanna see Dave win just cause like, I don't know, I f* Dave like in everything, but I don't know bro.

342

I don't know.

343

What about you?

344

Dave, Dave's my answer, Dave's my answer.

345

Dave's my answer.

346

Aval don't need that shit.

347

Aval you good, bro, you don't need that shit.

348

He's giving the shit to his community.

349

No he's not.

350

He's not.

351

Yeah, right, yo.

352

Yeah bro, let me see the bank statements after that shit goes through.

353

to be honest it's hard to say like in terms of just like trading ability i mean realistically like okay

354

so aval won yesterday's trading competition last second like crazy dove right

355

and then this today's trading competition he got stopped out like barely

356

and he would have won he would have won and then

357

and then not only that he he ended up getting his get back in the mental game

358

and one immunity then so he couldn't be voted out.

359

This dude's had immunity every single day so far.

360

Right now he's definitely the best, like at least in my opinion, highest probability of going all the way.

361

Yeah, so he's due for an L, man.

362

You never know.

363

Yeah, some people, I mean, I think there's a lot of people that are flying under the radar.

364

Yeah, for sure.

365

How the fuck is Brickstone?

366

Crazy right now.

367

I think people are, people are riding off Brick.

368

People are riding off Brick, And not only that, people, who else are people writing off?

369

People are writing off Jeremy, people are writing off Jay, just because I feel like they aren't talking as much.

370

So they're a little bit more quiet.

371

That shit might be a straight shot to top three.

372

We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
