Backdoors and Blindsides

Uploading this 45 minutes before the finale starts so there's proof that we're Survivor experts if any of these predictions actually play out. What's it like to be both healthy and a podcaster? How about watching your favorite player actually make it to the end? We dunno. Our beloved chaotic newsman goes out with a whimper, while Cirie puts her trust in the wrong people. Tiffany pulls off a 1v4 wi...

"Everyone Will Be Shooketh" This one gets a little shock-jock as we reveal the biggest discovery in the history of the show - don't try and say you wouldn't too! We're shifting in our seats as we analyze Rick and Emily's secret game, question the legitimacy of this week's immunity challenge, and decide if we're truly seeing a Cirie Survivor 50 win. Ozzy gets sloppy (hayoo) while Aubry fights for h...

"A Side Dish of Chaos" Mr. Beast joins the historic Survivor 50...and it's the best episode we've seen in a LONG time. The Survivor Auction returns as we discuss what went down, what came back up, and the major improvements in Mr. Beast's show appearance vs Zac Brown's. Tribal turns into complete madness before Rick Devens takes his fate into his own hands, and Meg gets a little emotional about wh...

"I Deserve All of This" I know, I know, it's the last time we miss one, I swear. We give a brief recap of Episode 8 including Tiff's bottled rage, Rick's fake idol shenanigans, and saying farewell to Mr. Honor and Integrity. I think Chrissy left too. Now it's time to get down to business as we figure out Devens' next move with all eyes on him. Survivor history is made as Jeff plays in his first ev...

"That's Not How I Play Survivor" There's no way but forward as we recover from the wrath of the fans and the Blood Moon twist that they definitely all voted for! As we continue recapping Survivor 50, we flex our creative writing chops to honor the most honorable honor in the history of honor. Cirie's Rizard of Ozz alliance flies under the radar, and The Four Honormen draw lines in the newly formed...

"The Blood Moon" Hit the music! We report on who's misbehaving at Survivor parties, as well as the problem behind all of the discourse surrounding Season 50's editing. "The Fans" vote for the Blood Moon twist that probably killed this season with hammers, and we learn about a pre-game alliance that's bound to bring consequences. We also see Rizo lock in with Cirie + Ozzy, and Matt thinks he's figu...

"Too Little, Too Late" Sorry we've been gone fam, we were dying again. Good thing there's plenty of strategy, deception, and S-tier gameplay to chew on from this episode. We address the addition of Zac Brown to CBS's Wednesday programming slate, and Matt's entire world is flipped upside down after a shocking revelation. Meg also sees the edit revealing who won this season, and The White Lotus gets...

"Did You Vote For A Swap?" Drop your buffs, B&B fam. Someone makes a big move at the last possible second that may have written out the next chapter of Survivor 50. Need your campfire lit? Jeff's got you, with the heat he's spitting. Emily takes a big steamy one all over Christian's game, and Kamilla single-handedly wins tribal immunity. Q also whips vote like we've never seen before...he's a geni...

"Therapy Carousel" It's an episode full of embarrassments on national TV as we recap a pre-school accident, needless showboating, and life-threatening...cramps? We've already had enough of Righteous Joe, and so has everyone else in his tribe. We also share our experience participating in the Maryland Survivor 50 Idol Hunt, and drop some new poll results from the Survivor fans (go follow @survivorf...

Survivor 50 is finally here! We are FIRED UP as we run long, recapping the three-hour premiere of this historic season. Ozzy is already the most powerful player, Christian outsmarts the entire cast, and Cirie has a rough start. We mourn the departure of a show favorite, and lay down the law for some of these jabronis on the beach. That's how you do it on B&B. PLUS: We bring back The Three Pillars,...

"Leap of Faith" Season 4 of The Traitors U.S. is OVER, and its finale brought absolute heat. Join us as we celebrate the victor, mourn the fallen, and reclaim our honor as we recap the thrilling ending of our favorite show (for one more episode). Maura questions her entire run, while Johnny and Tara finally kick into high gear. Sweet Eric is in more danger than ever, and our Robby Bobby reaches hi...

"Do You Know The Enemy?" We know, we know, the finale is already out but we're gonna do this right and that means no skips. For the very first time this season, the sights are set on our beautiful Rob and everyone's a little sweaty. There's a major betrayal at the roundtable...did it really write out the remainder of the game? We also go super hard on who must be two of the worst Faithfuls of all...

"Think Outside The Box" Life has been treating us the way Alan treats the portraits of murdered Faithfuls at breakfast, so thanks for being patient while we catch up on recaps. Eric is officially a Traitor...does he have what it takes to deceive the Faithfuls? Johnny and Tara finally reveal their secret alliance, but it may be too late for both of them. We also ponder if there's any single outcome...

"A Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne" Don't let the door hit you on the way out, bud! It's a dense one, starting with saying goodbye to enemy number one. We get a high-stakes faceoff between Candiace and Rob, making it clear that their teamwork has come to an end. Johnny emerges as the new biggest threat to the Traitors, and there's an opportunity to recruit the perfect Faithful into the turret. PL...

"The Black Banquet" The highly promoted episode of Traitors Season 4 is out. Us fashion experts break down who wore it best and who missed the mark at Alan's banquet, in addition to who jeopardized their game. It gets a little critical, a little dirty, and surely not passive aggressive in any way. Traitor vs Traitor is officially on with Rob and Lisa butting heads at every turn. A Survivor-esque a...

"Planning A Coup" It's time to find out if anyone took a shield, and if there was a murder last night! Johnny starts recruiting for the most powerful group in the game, but can't deliver when it counts. Colton does something so stupid that it makes our heads spin (drink). Ron also proves to the entire castle that they don't deserve him, and Rob may be the only person left who's playing correctly....

"If You're Gonna Come For Me, I'll Finish You" We have no idea what day it is because we've emptied our minds of everything besides Traitors and podcasting. There's controversy at the roundtable as Michael vs Colton becomes something much uglier, and we draw parallels to Survivor: Game Changers. Two of the Traitors make their biggest mistake so far, and we take pen to paper to be sure of the perfe...

"Cut The Head Off The Snake" The Traitors have committed a face-to-face murder, but Lisa starts to look suspicious. Colton decides he's running the game and proceeds to play like a dumb f***ing idiot who eats crayons and pees in his pants. Our hearts begin to break for Ron, and the Mount Rushmore of zero sugar sodas is carved out. We recorded this at like 12 AM so it's a bit all over the place, bu...

"Show Me Your Faces" The Traitors have murdered in plain sight, but did they choose the right Faithful to remove from the game? An early roundtable reveals the Secret Traitor, and we question if production (drink) should have handled things differently. Meg also takes a victory lap around Colton's failures (drink) and Matt finds a way for Rob, Lisa, and Candiace to play the long game. PLUS: Who co...

"The Death Conga" It's the first murder of The Traitors Season 4, which means the first banishment comes next. Porsha is fumbling her words, but Candiace is fumbling her entire act. Colton triggers Meg to new heights - mark it down and keep track! There's also a Murder in Plain Sight, and we change direction in our hunt for the Secret Traitor. How about those Kelce genetics, huh? Recaps of Episode...

"Let The Cards Fall As They Will" We're back, and it's Traitors time! We kick things off by introducing the cast of The Traitors Season 4 that includes   sick gamers, reality darlings, and even a few Problems (you know who). We also try to sniff out the Secret Traitor, and decide who's the perfect Faithful to murder on the first night. Does Donna Kelce's family ties give her a suit of armor unlike...

"A Fever Dream" Survivor 49 is OVER, and we decide if our champion deserves the win. We also point out the moment where each runner-up may have lost the game, and try to find the reason behind each jury vote. PLUS: We have results from a popularity contest, and Meg goes in hard on a S49 player who ruined the whole thing. We're still going to complain, but just a little bit! This isn't a show about...

"The Die Is Cast" We are ONE episode away from the Survivor 49 finale, y'all. Regardless of who your favorite player is, this week brought us the most bewildering choices of the season thus far. We unpack every move, and run scenarios for every possible final three and subsequent winner. Has Sophi sealed her fate? Does Sage have a fighting chance? We also check in on Annie's IG, and Sophie S. (Yel...

"Cherry On Top" Did y'all miss us? We missed you. After a quick recap of the last few weeks of Survivor 49 (RIP Alex and Jawan), we dive into what has clearly become Savannah and Rizo's game. Sophie's ego gets the best of her, but has Sage made a crucial error for the sake of revenge? We also start to imagine final scenarios, and debate if anyone is capable of nailing the biggest elimination of th...

"Hot Grim Reaper". It's officially on, y'all. Savannah is at the bottom, but the Survivor Gods (producers) makes it clear she's not going anywhere. Is Sophie playing too hard, or does she see something we don't? MC also lets us down with her social game, and the Bottoms Up alliance needs to lock in. PLUS: Our weekly awards get a new name, and sandwiches cause a marital rift.  Watch full video epis...
