Hey Julie! - Big Brother & Survivor Recaps

Danielle & Brett are back and kick off a new season of Hey Jeff , although to a quieter landscape.

Brett & Dani are back again, this time to close the book on Survivor 47 once and for all. Rachel won the season, but was that really all that surprising? What about fairness in the fire-making competition, Jeff!? Later in the episode, they recap a pair of movies that neither of them liked very much: the interestingly awful Joker: Folie a Deux and the boringly disappointing Carry-On. Follow Hey...

Brett & Danielle are back for one penultimate Survivor 47 episode and what a penultimate episode of Survivor 47 we got on Wednesday.

Caroline, who turned out to be more of the more gullible players this season, was sent home at the hands of master manipulation from Genevieve, Sam & Andy.

Things were looking so good for Sol on Survivor. Little twerp Rome was kicked off, Dani had a crush on him. All the signs were pointing up! Then, the one true hero of Survivor 47, Genevieve got her gears turning and it was all over for our middle-aged king. Brett & Dani discuss the most recent episode of Survivor & Brett explains how the Survivor editing has been proving we're in store for...

Brett & Dani are back after a mini-hiatus to catch back up with #Survivor47. Since we podded last, Anika, Rome & Tiyana were sent home.

Dani & Brett are back to recap one of the most unexpected eviction episodes of all time, as #bb26 continues its streak of unpredictable new developments.

We open the show discussing Jerry's hosting performance and the roller coaste...

Brett & Dani are back for a new episode as they recap pour some dirt on Joseph, who got the loser edit of the week and was sent packing, inadvertently, by two of his closest allies in Quinn and Leah.

The only person who is clearly standing above the rest right n...

We also discuss Tucker's completely arbitrary gameplay, and how the cast of otherwise smart BB superfans (Kimo, T'Kor, Quinn, etc.) are forced to adjust and the puzzli...

Brett & Dani are back to recap another week of Big Brother 26 . Tucker took the spotlight from Angela, entering full chaos-mode: using the veto on Angela rather than himself and causing a full house-meeting explosion that put himself, Quinn, Makensy & Cedric in bad positions. Was it good Big Brother? Not necessarily. But was it entertaining? You bet. We also say goodbye to Kenney, say hell...

Dani & Brett react to week 2in the Big Brother 26 house. Lisa surprisingly went home on Thursday night after yet another chaotic week featuring the season's one true star/villain, Angela.
