Escaping Reality

Welcome back, Escaping Reality Fam, we missed you last week! In this episode we combined our recaps for eps 3 and 4, because let's be honest one was boring and the other made up for it. We're talking tribe tensions, the puzzle that never was, and egg laying hens. Not non-egg-laying hens, only the egg-laying ones. And of course we vibe check Jeff, who was really on level 10 in these episodes. Be su...

Welcome back, Escaping Reality fam! We're recapping Survivor S47 Episode 2 and it's surprisingly straightforward this week... We spend a lot of the episode at each tribe's camp, so we're mostly talking about what went down at each tribe's camp! shocking, I know. Between budding alliance foundations, searching for idols and beware advantages, and ample set up for this week's vote-out, we cover a lo...

We're back for another season of Survivor, baby! Jeff is here, and so is Jon Lovett, for one glorious and perfect episode. Anna, Stacey, and Agie break down the highs and lows as well as the the changes, the adaptations, and the shifts. Let's get into it together. We think season 47 is going to be a good one, y'all! If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a breakdown:...

Survivor is back, baby!!! and so is Escaping Reality <3 We're taking a pre-season opportunity to assess the new cast-aways (on a very surface level & based on very limited info) and draft each of our teams before season 47 begins this week! PLUS, Stacey spills some tea after "attending" the Nashville Survivor pop-up event. We're catching up and getting the full story from...

It's really over :'( (until next season!) - We're recapping the FINALE of Survivor Season 46, and oof this one is a doozy. Let's just say it didn't turn out the way we were anticipating. BUT that left us with even more to discuss than planned. From the final 5 challenge, through to the after show: we're covering all the highlights, surprises, and weird Jeff one-liners. We h...

It's the penultimate episode of S46 and our excitement is building! We're talking Ben's voting "mistake", Kenzie's edit throughout the game, the potential downfall of Charlie and Maria's alliance, and Liz...being Liz. And of course the dreaded Q vote out and the fact that idols are a curse this season. Plus our usual vibes checks for Jeff (peep our episode title for v...

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We're back with the latest recap of Season 46 of Survivor: Episode 11. We're inching our way to the finale & we have plenty to discuss this week. The episode was filled with tension, strategy, and, in the words of Q: 'big mistakes.' We're breaking down Maria's threat level & her questionable decision making skills. Q's continued hilarit...

Agie and Stacey were together *in person* this weekend, so we recorded the quickest little recap of Survivor Season 46, Episode 10. We had so much fun giggling together and recapping all things Liz, Applebee's, and Q ahead of ultimately blindsiding Tiffany. There's a lot of emotions to get through and we're doing a very quick chat to get through all of it! Enjoy! If you're looking...

We're back with our recap of Survivor 46 Episode 9! We're talking idol usage (or lack thereof), the ongoing battle for a "move", and whether or not we would ever throw a challenge to get out a challenge beast. Plus we share our feelings on all this "spicy Jeff" talk. After vibe checking the man for over 3 years, we feel pretty equipped to have this convo. Plus we have o...

From a rice "negotiation" to Hunter being super hot, and everything in between, we've got a great recap episode for you. Season 46 is hitting its stride in this episode and we're here to tell you all our thoughts. It was a fun one, so buckle up, Q's taking us on a ride today. If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a breakdown: Intro (0:00-0:44) One Minute Th...

We made it to episode SEVERAL of Season 46 of Survivor & Team Anna just stays winning. Between the castaways left this season & the continual Jelinsky name drops, Anna keeps prevailing. In a double-elimination week that saw 2 members of Team Stacey go home... we have a lot to talk about. Agie & Anna are recapping episode 7 and all the (very confusing) strategy that went on. We're p...

We did it, fam. We made it to the merge... kinda... as much as one can 'make it to the merge' in New Era Survivor. We're taking this opportunity to reassess our thoughts on this cast, double down on the alliances we believe in, and wonder a lot about the editing choices. Despite the fact that we're a liiiitttle bit bored and we've certainly had enough of Jeff and his shenanigan...

We've got a little dual episode wrap up for you today! We gotta talk about Episodes 3 and 4 of Season 46, an ode to Bhanu (with a side of a med evac). There's a lot to get into and we tried to cover it all. Are we excited to get into the rest of the season? If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a breakdown: Intro (0:00-1:27) One Minute Thoughts (1:27-11:01) Episodes Reca...

Two episodes in one!! Your favorite podcast gals are pulling double duty in this episode - covering both Episode 2 of Survivor Season 46 AND our final thoughts on Season 2 of The Traitors (now that it's come to an end). And TBH both really only warranted half an episode in our opinions. We've got some serious pacing issues, some questionable editing choices, and some WTF moments. But there...

We're backkkkkk. And so is CBS's favorite showSurvivor. 18 castaways, 1 aggressive speech from Jeff Probst, and 3 500 lb. geckos later, we have a 2 hour episode that has to be seen to be believed. There are so many chaotic and fun things happening in this episode and we have some hot takes to break it down for you. Let's get into it. Producer's note: We did do a follow up on our pr...

It's that time of the year again...a new season of Survivor and a new season of Agie and Stacey trying to somehow dethrone the 3 season reigning champ Anna. We all took different approaches to how we "prepared" for this episode today, but by the end we were all excited to share our thoughts and get Anna's approval on our picks. Early on we say "We're trying to do this in...

We're back with another Traitors Season 2 Recap! This episode we talk how we are sick of some players, the Peter's Pals Alliance, who we wish hadn't been banished early, and how we are all enjoying the challenges more. We don't Vibe Check Alan Cumming because he is flawless per usual. Be sure to give us a follow on Instagram @EscapingRealityPod and on Twitter @EscRealityPod --  If...

Happy New Year (to everyone except Anna), Escaping Reality Fam! 2024 is off to a chaotic start & this episode is no exception. We've been immensely enjoying the first few episodes of the second US season of The Traitors... but we're taking this episode a little off the beaten path. That is to say: we're winging it. While there's minimal structure to our conversation, we lead ea...

Welcome back to Escaping Reality! We made it through thirteen 90-minute episodes and have reached the end of Survivor 45! It was an action-packed finale, so our recap is obviously packed as well. We share our thoughts on the Katurah/Jake fumble, Jake's series of unfortunate events, the challenge choices, and of course the final tribal! Congrats to Dee on a well-deserved win! And we want to kno...

We're one episode away from the finale, and all 3 of the girlies are back on the mic to discuss the silly boys and their antics and laud the ladies for playing the game despite a boy wanting your attention. New challenges, new rewards, and Agie in a foul mood. What more could we want? We're excited to see how it all plays out next week, and we had way to much fun breaking down this penulti...

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! It's another Anna & Agie chaotic special this week as we creep closer & closer to the end of this season. In true chaotic fashion... we have a lot of questions about the wild decisions that were made this episode. We're talking all about the """SHOWMANCE""" and our disdain for the details of it, Katurah's backstory and how...

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We are getting sooo close to the final conclusion of Season 45! but, for now, we still have a lot of ground to cover. Let's get into it. This was a rollercoaster of an episode. We talk about how the tone was a little all over the place, but kind of in the best ways?! We went on emotional journeys (lots... and we mean LOTS... of crying), laughed with da boys, and kept...

Welcome back to Escaping Reality! This week we share our thoughts on Survivor Season 45 episode 9! It's just Agie and Stacey this week, with a few pre-recorded gems from our girl Anna. We discuss the Reba domination, the continued losing of votes, a possible showmance, and much more. Then we have our typical vibe checks for Jeff, Castaways of the Weeks, and Rapid Fires. And Anna drops a shocki...

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! It's another Anna & Agie special this week until Stacey returns! Less chaotic than last week, but just as stellar as ever. THE SURVIVOR AUCTION IS BACK and quite honestly, we spend A LOT of time discussing its inclusion, its items, and its updates. Plus: Jeff wields a knife!! Truly the excitement knows no bounds. In addition to those major topics, we're furthe...

Agie and Anna are on the mic by themselves and honestly Stacey should have been there to keep us in line. We had a lot of fun recording and chatting this week, and hopefully y'all understand where we're coming from when we get a little ✨spicy✨ as we discuss this episode. These are not new issues we have, but we were very hype after Night 2 of the Eras Tour in Argentina and brought that e...
