We're ready for our mind's to be changed as we get closer to the actual season, but we just had to get on and rant a little. Be...

We've had a bit of a rocky relationship with Survivor Season 48, but we're here to wrap up a middling season with a great winner, Kyle. We paint with broad strokes to discuss themes of the episode and the season while dragging some of the antics (and Jeff) along the way.

Welcome back, Escaping Reality Fam! We're firmly mid-season and, with a double elimination this week, we have a lot of ground to cover. We're recapping episode 7 & working through all our feelings on why the first half of the episode was some of the best Survivor in a while, but the latter half of the episode needed some serious revision. There's seemingly a lot, but, in reality, very little g...

Got Milk? Season 48 sure has a lot of talk about it! We are back recapping episode 6 and our overall thoughts are it was a bit of a bore. But our recap is anything but boring so check it out now! We talk the "merge" tribe dynamics, what keeps a season interesting, and of course we have our vibe checks for Jeff per usual. Be sure to give us a follow on Instagram @EscapingRealityPod and on Twitter @...

With a historic episode of Survivor 48 on deck, Agie, Anna, and Stacey are getting emotional and honest as we break down the episode that gave us whiplash, in a good way (maybe). There's so much to discuss!! In an episode defined by its emotional beats on New Vula and between Joe and Eva, we're here to talk through it all with you. If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a...

Oooooh, things are getting good!! Episode 4 of Survivor 48 was one for the books. A classic tribe swap had all our previous alliances in shambles. And the ones that stayed intact? Time to be tested! We're discussing all the new tribe dynamics (which is a lot of things to discuss) and the major gaming that goes down before tribal council. Plus, all our usual fun segments AND the fact that we go...

What an episode! The three of us recap the wild happenings of Episode 3. We chat the series of unfortunate events that led to this chaotic final tribal, our desire for more voting opportunities for S50, needing a million dollars to keep your relationship in tact and our thoughts on that journey challenge. Plus we laugh at Stacey's inability to remember her draft pick's name. Be sure to giv...

Agie and Anna are untethered without our anchor Stacey, but we're breaking down the entirety of Season 48, Episode 2 together.

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We're so happy to welcome Lauren Harpe to the podcast for this extra special episode! We had our first interactions with Lauren when Survivor Season 44 was about to air & we found out she had been listening to our podcast (!!!) in preparation for the game. We were instant fans from that moment on. And our admiration only grew as we watched her play through season...

Anna, Agie, and Stacey are here to break down everything Part 2 of the finale. It's a big episode, but maybe not as big as normal. And, we're beyond ecstatic to celebrate our girl Rachel for an entire episode. Join us on a journey to discuss the final immunity challenge, the fire making challenge, and Final Tribal Council for Season 47. See you in 2025, babes! If you're looking for a specific segm...

Listen in for our thoughts on a two part finale, our high praise for Rachel, and our debate about who else has a chance for the gold.

It's almost the Survivor 47 Finale! It's almost the Survivor Finale! Things are really kicking into high gear this week with Operation Italy!! Probably one of the most exciting plans of the Survivor New Era, so we've got lots to talk through. Who is making game-shifting moves & who is still playing naively? We're sharing all our feelings on who has a chance in this game as we enter the final s...

What's up, Escaping Reality Fam! This week we recorded on Black Friday, and we ditched our blood families to show our gratitude for our other fam--all of you! This week we chatted who are the threats of the season, who thinks they are a threat incorrectly, and who simply doesn't seem to be playing survivor. Plus all of our usual segments are here. Finally we settled the age old debate: hugging Jef...

We're in the "muddy middle" of Season 47, and the girlies are here to discuss all the high, lows, and wandering roads of this episode.

After everything we said last week, we're starting to worry we spoke too soon. Come with Agie, Anna, and Stacey on a journey to unpack this explosive episode of Survivor. We're so sad to say goodbye to Tiyana, but wow what a way to go out! We're unpacking the "new" twist and Sol's advantage on the path to understanding this episode. Let's do this! If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a...

We made it to the merge (kinda), baby!! In a double feature, we're recapping episodes 5 AND 6 in one magical podcast. Survivor Season 47 is entering its second phase, but before we're officially merged, we have a lot to review. Some slight changes to the New Era Mergatory, some crappy (in our opinion) but effective rewards at the Sanctuary, and a whole lotta sass from Mr. Probst - what's not to lo...
