Hey Julie! - Big Brother & Survivor Recaps

Brett & Dani are back (without the livestream) following the two-night premiere of #bb26. Who's introduction packages did we love, who did we hate? How did our impressions change between the preseason videos and now? Who is Dani in love with? And who is already spiraling out as the first HOH of the season? All questions will be answered! Back next week with a special episode. Follow Hey Ju...

Brett & Dani react to the 16 new cast members of #bb26. Who is hot? Who is not? Who's a stud? Who's a dud? Who gets kissed & who gets dissed in our seasonal tradition of Marry/F**k/Kill? Also, one change on Paramount+ has Big Brother fans wondering if live feeds may go away for future seasons. Follow Hey Julie on Twitter and submit your questions  ⁠⁠ @HeyJulieBB ⁠⁠ , our  ⁠⁠ Discor...

Brett & Dani are back for their final pre-season #bb26 episode to chat about the expected two-night premiere. How will fans react to the houseguests being split into two separate groups that each get one night dedicated to their move in? How do we feel about feeds night starting until day 3 of the game? I'm sure the BB fanbase will handle everything well. Later in the episode, Brett talks...

Brett & Dani are back with more pre-season Big Brother action. Is there anything to talk about from the world of BB? No. Do we have a podcast for you anyways? Ya. In the absence of any concrete news or casting (aside from the disgusting tease from Julie Chen on Instagram), we play a game, highlighting 7 made up archetypes we'd like to see on this season of Big Brother. Plus, Dani has one J...

Dani & Brett are back in the lull between Survivor 46 and Big Brother 26 to catch up on the announced cast for Traitors season 3, which sends Dani into an explainer on 'Summer House'. Later, Brett shares his unequal disdain for 'Furiosa' and 'Hit Man' with takes that will likely get him banned from Letterboxd. Follow Hey Julie on Twitter and submit your questions  ⁠⁠ @H...

We finally have a winner in #Survivor46! Kenzie took home the prize after a tense and close final tribal counsel, eking out a 5-3-0 win over Charlie & Ben. Brett & Danielle are back for their final Survivor podcast of the season, chatting about Kenzie's win, the pasta selection at The Sanctuary, Liz's final delulu moments, the nothingness of Ben & how the surprisingly bitter-se...

Brett & Dani are back for our second to last #Survivor46 recap of the season. Q went home with -- say it with me everyone -- an idol in his pocket! For what must be a record fifth time this season, a castaway was sent home when they easily could have saved themselves. We chat about Survivor 46's endgame, why the fanbase is so split on Maria, how the real spicy Jeff was in this episode &amp...

Danielle & Brett are back to recap Wednesday's episode of #Survivor46 which quite unfortunately sent Venus to the jury. All good things must come to an end. What did not end, however, was the amount of drama that unfolded as a result of a reward pizza party that was only shared by Maria, Q & Ben. Has a season ever had so much fighting around food rewards? Later in the episode, Danielle...

Brett & Danielle are back for the most anticipated episode of the season. What happens when the two most important pieces of pop-culture in the same week both hinge on trips to Applebee's? Cinematic and television gold. For the first half of the show, they discuss Liz' iconic and profound meltdown after not getting selected for an Applebee's reward on #Survivor46. In the second hal...

Danielle & Brett recap the latest episode of #Survivor46 in which Hunter was sent home after a wild tribal council that included more antics from Q, the possibility of two idols being played & a tied vote. Jeff was purportedly spicy in this episode, as evidenced by the title 'Spicy Jeff,' but what propose is: Maybe he wasnt? Later in the episode, Danielle reports back on watching t...

Brett & Danielle are back to recap another episode of #Survivor46. In Wednesday's episode 8, perhaps the best of the season, galaxy-brained Q took over in a way only he could do: by inflicting pure controlled chaos on the rest of the tribe. From a strategy-soaked game of hide & seek to one of the most bonkers tribal council maneuvers in recent memory, one thing is clear: we love our de...

Brett & Danielle are back for another episode of Hey Julie. The pair discuss Wednesday's episode of #Survivor46, which saw Soda & Tim sent home on a double-tribal council night, while Maria & Kenzie took home the first individual immunity idols of the season. Meanwhile, our girl Venus just keeps trucking along, despite no one liking her. Master manipulator? Or Forrest Gumping her w...

Brett & Dani are back to recap Survivor 46 episode 6. Moriah and Venus were front and center in this week's merge episode, with Moriah being the unfortunate victim of this week's tribal council. Brett & Dani compare Venus to one iconic Survivor and one iconic Big Brother player of yore. Later, Brett talks about viewing 'The Social Network' and 'Panic Room' at a doub...

Brett & Dani react to Wednesday's episode of Survivor & pour one out for early favorite Jem, who was sent home by a 4-2 vote. Brett laments his early winner pick leaving so early and must address the audience after being so blatantly wrong. SAD! Later, Danielle chats about watching 'Wonka' over the week and the new Jake Gyllenhaal remake of 'Road House'. Brett raises a...

Danielle & Brett are back to talk about the most recent episode of Survivor 46. It was sadly the end of the line for our king, Bhanu. Probably one of the worst Survivor players in recent memory, if not of all time, the fourth episode of this season ended in one of the least surprising evictions ever...so unsurprising Jeff didn't even do Bhanu the injustice of sending his tribemates to the...

Brett & Dani discuss the third episode of #Survivor46, last weekend's Oscars telecast and more on this week's episode. Randen, who we described last week as a big "WHO?!" fully lived up to his promise by being the first medical evac of the season. Randen, we hardly knew ye. Later in the show, they chat about last Sunday's Oscars broadcast in which old man Brett had a few...

After kicking off with some words about the state of modern pop-culture and the meteoric rise in 2024 of Sydney Sweeney, Brett & Danielle dive head-first (Bruce style) into the first two episodes of #survivor46. They break down the two tribal councils and run through the full list of castaways to get initial takeaways on who is a star in the making or who is a WHO!? In the final quarter of the...

WE'RE SO BACK. After a mini-extended New Year's break, Brett & Dani are back to podcast for the remainder of 2024. Survivor 46 is around the corner and Big Brother 26 is likely only months behind that. Today we're looking back at the six weeks of pop-culture that we missed: True Detective S4, Past Lives , Anatomy of a Fall, The Traitors S2, Mr. & Mrs. Smith , Super Bowl commerc...

Brett & Dani are back home (in your ears) for the holidays and kick things off looking back to Wednesday night's Survivor 45 finale, which saw Dee take home the grand prize in what we agree was ultimately a weak and forgettable season. Big Brother Reindeer Games also ended this week with Nicole Franzel taking home the $100k prize and title of first BBRG champion. Now that she's won two...

Dani & Brett are back with some rare Big Brother content this time of year, as Reindeer Games aired its first week and gets a surprising amount of praise! They chat about what contestants are their favorites, why Frankie is unstoppable, why the altered mini-series has a welcome place in our hearts & what things a normal season of Big Brother can take from the holiday special. Later, they t...

Brett & Dani are back to look back at the last two weeks of Survivor 45 . Dani, who was previously down on the season, has changed her mind, while Brett now is suddenly feeling bored with the whole endeavor. They also talk about the recently announced cast for Big Brother: Reindeer Games , which includes nine returning houseguests, some good, some bad, and a partridge in a pear tree. Closing o...

Brett & Dani are back to catch up with #Survivor45 after taking a few weeks off and they also chat about some movies they've seen recently, including David Fincher's Netflix's 'The Killer,' Showtime's 'The Curse,' FX's 'A Murder at the End of the World' & much more.

Brett & Dani convene for one final #bb25 podcast, recapping Jag's win over Matt, Cameron's surprising America's Favorite Houseguest win, the duality of Bowie Jane and whether Cirie & Felicia were justified in casting the two lone votes for Matt to win. Thank you for spending your time with us throughout the BB25 season. We love and appreciate our fans! Stick around for #Survivo...

This is a weird one. Dani is visiting Brett in LA on #bb25 finale week for a podcast, but we're both too tired to stay up late, watch the episode AND record a podcast about it. I mean, we'd be up until 11pm or something! So, live from Brett's living room, we record a special ALL LISTENER Qs episode of the pod and barely touch on Big Brother at all. Which is all you'd expect from th...
