Danielle & Brett are reunited for their birthday week and try to dissect what's been going on with this season of Big Brother .

Brett & Danielle are back to recap the first two episodes of Big Brother 27 . Yeah, yeah Rachel Reilly came back, but it's really about this cast of newbies who are all playing hard in some way or another. Jimmy is spinning in circles about Rachel.

Survivor 48 has thankfully reached its conclusion.

Dani & Brett are back for another episode, first diving into the latest on Survivor . Chrissy was sent to the jury this week.

Dani & Brett are back with another episode, this time starting out with Wednesday night's wild tribal council in which the Pizza Man was sent home on Survivor 48 , but not before 3 votes and a deliberation that made for a wacky, 30-minute viewing experience.
