Survivor Fans Podcast

We devoured the historic, three hour premiere and were left wanting more when it finished. The pacing was great and we enjoyed the tribe time too. This cast really delivered. If we had to pick a low light it would be the medical and the loss of votes already. What did you think of the new idol and the inclusion of "dynamic" advantages? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw t...

Welcome back for Part 2 of our OtG, On the Grill, preview for season 50. We're four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, February 25th, and seventeen super fans like you recorded their take on the S50 cast including their choice of favorites, who's most likely to get voted out first, make the merge, have a shot at the final tribal council as well as who has what it takes to win it all! We wan...

Welcome to Part 1 of our OtG, On the Grill, preseason show for season 50. For the first time in the new era, we have all returning players, so we have a rich set of information to draw from when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Sur...

Feedback on the finale was positive overall, with many being happy with the winner. The season as a whole will not be remembered fondly, with most simply happy that it's over. The fans are optimistic for season 50, and we look forward to returning with you all for the On the Grill episodes in mid February to kick it all off again. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to anothe...

That was a surprisingly enjoyable finale. The twist at final four helped set the tone, and we had a great time watching it all unfold from there. What did you think of the Finale challenges? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you happy with the end result? What Final Tribal Council questions stood out for you? How about the Survivor After Show? What's your take on the season as a whole? W...

There was a lot of hope that we might finally get a major, strategic turn with some excitement, but unfortunately the frustration continued. It's fair to say at this point, that this will not be remembered as a great or favorite season by most. The one thing it has delivered is uncertainty, and we expect more of that in the finale on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contrib...

That was a double whammy of disappointment! The logic of both of those Tribal Council moves left us sad. If you have any insights, we would love to hear them. How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who is most likely to be a no vote goat? Who has played the best strategic game? Who has played the best social game? What's your final 5 order? Here is where it stands afte...

There is a lot of building frustration expressed in this week's feedback. We're all scratching our head and wondering how this group is making voting decisions. Surprisingly, the Journey challenge ended up being a highlight. A lot of our hopes for this season pivot on how the expiring advantages are played in the next episode. We are looking forward to seeing how it plays out. We want to thank and...

Does voting to get revenge ever lead to a win? What did you think of the twist on the classic spell a word with balanced blocks challenge? How would you use the "block a vote" advantage? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands a...

The fans have spoken, and that was the best episode so far. Lots of us are waiting for the hammer to drop on a particular showboater. Here's hoping our wish comes true on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Tara, Rebecca, Ryan, Matt-n-Summer, Anderson, Drew, Crystal, David, Pat, Adi, Joe, Jill,...

That was exciting. It seemed to go by really quickly. We enjoyed it and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it too. How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 10. Merge Tribe: Kristina, Rizo, Sage, Savannah, Soph...

The consensus from the fans this week is that we are seeing really poor gameplay from one alliance combined with mildly competent gameplay from the opposing alliance that has delivered this "failure to flush" scenario three weeks in a row. In spite of the frustrating lack of progress, we are still excited to see how the balance of power may shift next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who...

We thankfully returned to a full Tribal Council this week, but this is the second week where a clear, logical plan is traded for another fuzzy outcome. Are we watching the results of a single skillful player or the bungling results of an inept alliance? Who do you credit with this week's results? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who do you think is playing the be...

No surprise we got a wide variety of feedback on this last episode. Some really disliked the move back to tiny tribes, some thought it was exciting because it was unpredictable and others thought it was just meh. In the end, it was Survivor and that is what we show up for each week. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we hear...

How you judge this episode will likely depend on who you are cheering for to win. What did you think of the regression back to tiny tribes? Who do you think will secure the majority alliance now? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it...

Overall feedback remained positive this week with some saying it was the best of the season, but quite a few were left feeling a bit empty given the vote out. The one thing we all agreed on was that we prefer a real merge with everyone vulnerable and voting. We're excited to see where the game goes next now that the battle lines have been drawn. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contri...

Relatively speaking, that was a pretty solid Merge episode. We got a surprise ending, and we may get to skip the Mergatory silliness of the 40s. Which do you like better, earn the merge meal or everyone gets to eat? How long do you think this majority alliance can hold together? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and w...

Feedback on this episode was significantly more positive than last week, with unanimous support for the vote out. We're excited to see how the alliances shake out after the merge. We're looking forward to seeing the game shift into the next gear on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pat, Rebecca, Ma...

Production loves Tiny Tribes, and the "nowhere to hide" concept. It did allow one castaway to finally exact some revenge for another's duplicitous actions. What did you think of the shuffle to three tribes of four? How will this vote out affect the alliances going into the merge? Will there be a clear majority in control of the first vote? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you s...

Feedback on this episode was a mixed bag with the majority settling on "predictable" as the primary adjective. There was some excellent gameplay that was celebrated, but most are simply looking forward to the merge at this point. The idea of shuffling to tiny tribes did not excite anyone. Oh well, we remain hopeful as we look forward to the next installment of our favorite show. We want to thank a...

We got lots of Tribe Time to see how the new tribes were getting along. That certainly provided some insights into how the social game is progressing. What did you think of the mechanics and gameplay we got from this Journey? How do you feel about them shuffling back out into three tiny tribes again for next week? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do...

While the fans saw this as an improvement over the last episode, many are still lamenting the lack of suspense when it comes to the vote out. There was also a lot of discussion on the potential to see tribes start to throw challenges to secure a majority at the merge. We remain excited to see what comes next! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedb...

That was exciting. Tribe shuffles are bit like hitting the reset button and really highlight who has the social chops and the acumen to deal with surprises and still come out ahead. What did you think of the new tribes? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge?...

Fans found the "Behind The Scenes" content fascinating, but many thought the overall episode was a bit of a let down. We're optimistic that the pending shuffle will add some excitement, and we can't wait for the next installment on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Rebecca, Adi, Ryan, Joe, Ja...

Well that was unfortunate. Medical evacuations are always a bummer, and we certainly don't want to see that type of unprecedented event in Survivor. How would that event affect your willingness to do a water challenge? How do you think the impending shuffle will affect the game? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and w...
