Scott Survives Survivor

It's a jam-packed third episode with each tribe voting somebody off the Islands of Fire. We dive into Scott's higher than usual confusion watching Survivor: Vanuatu and talk about the value of Vitamin C to one Lopevi member. Also, whose volcano erupts more: Vanuatu's or Mia's?

It's maybe the most strategically complex episode 2 to date, and Scott is happy that one contributor ends up voted out at the end of it. We talk about the name-based irony at the blindfold immunity challenge, which leads to a somewhat lopsided result. There is also a juicy, twist-filled episode 3 preview to cover, and Scott predicts the results!

We are back for our ninth season, and we have 18 new faces to talk about! Scott has a short list of players he's considering as his winner pick, but is the actual winner of the season on that list? Find out in our coverage of the premiere of Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire!

As we journey to the Islands of Fire for Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire, Brandon gives his unfiltered thoughts about the ninth season of Survivor without Scott's unspoiled presence, along with a quick recap of the season premiere. Forgot Scott intro music by Scott Watson himself!

It's time for America's Tribal Council, and the votes are in! We talk about the winner of the $1 million fan favorite winner, but more importantly, we talk about the best fight, sexiest man, hottest woman, and best villain in the show's eight season history. And, of course, we find out, finally, where Survivor is heading for its ninth season!

We're back to discuss a Survivor engagement and all the other emotional moments from the Survivor: All-Stars reunion show! We don't have trivia or a full-time guest this time, but we do have lots of participation from our previous guests in the form of questions to Scott throughout our discussion. Hope you like it! We will be covering America's Tribal Council in our next, and final, episode for Su...

In our final pre-reunion installment of our time in Survivor: All-Stars, we spend a lot of time at the Final Tribal Council, digging deep into each jury question and dissecting the ways the last two players approach them. And, of course, we each place the season and winner on our rankings! Scott's Current Rankings Season • Pearl Islands • Marquesas • Borneo • The Amazon • Thailand • Africa • The A...

In the first part of our Survivor: All-Stars finale recap, we discuss the final four and final three votes and set up the battle that will take place at Day 39's Final Tribal Council. Rupert has survived longer than any of Scott's previous winner picks, but he's got an uphill battle entering this episode. A strategy seen in a previous Survivor season might become the final nail in his coffin. Note...

Entering this episode, Scott's winner pick, Rupert, has made the final five. Teresa, from Survivor: Africa, was voted off in fifth place, setting the current standard for Scott's winner picks. Can Rupert survive one more round and set the new record? A fight with another castaway might put that in doubt.

Six remain on Chaboga Mogo, so they're going to bring in some loved ones to spice things up. It's still Shii Ann's back up against the wall after her clutch immunity win last time, and winning two in a row will be tough!

The Shii Devil is the last remaining member of the original Mogo Mogo tribe, but she's not quite done making moves yet. We dive into what options the original Chapera members had to protect themselves from the possibility of a Shii Ann immunity win and what the shake up might mean moving forward. We're also getting ever closer to the latest in the game one of Scott's winner picks has l...

It's time for love on Survivor: All-Stars, and I'm not talking about between Boston Rob and Amber. Scott gives his takes on the loved ones' videos, including Shii Ann's cat and Don King himself. Back at camp, one outnumbered original Mogo Mogo member does her best to save herself from Chaperan dominance.

The merge of Survivor: All-Stars is an all-time episode, and we talk about all of the emotions, hypocrisy, and betrayal here! Rupert would certainly say he's in heaven with two podcast gods if he gets to listen. We close with Scott's thoughts on the 18-person, 3-tribe format of All-Stars and whether the season has turned around for him since a rocky start.

It's time for a tribe swap in Survivor: All-Stars, and it could be considered the least swap-y of all the swaps in Survivor history, with only one contestant leaving their prior group. We discuss the intelligence behind honoring cross-tribal favors, along with some new scenes from the first eight episodes of the season.

A connection is happening at Chapera, and Scott is very comfortable with this development and can't wait to discuss it all in great detail. On Mogo Mogo, things are bad and getting worse with every challenge loss.

It's another double feature for the Scott Survives Survivor crew! We have another downer to discuss in episode 6, in which one contestant deals with the events of the previous immunity challenge. In episode 7, some form of normalcy returns, and Scott gives an update on how he's feeling about Survivor: All-Stars so far.

It's a double-feature as we talk about the exits of a couple legends from the first seven seasons of Survivor, along with an uncomfortable situation at the Capture-the-Flag Immunity Challenge that only appears to be getting worse looking forward to the next episode.

It's a bit of a downer episode to discuss, but we have some fun along the way talking about Rupert's shelter plan, Amber's growing crush, and Mogo-Mogo's favorite fishing god / 250-pound shark-catching gay fisherman (to use Shii Ann's and Lex's words).

After Tina was voted out in the premiere, we discuss the other tribes' reactions to a winner being ousted so soon. The contestants finally get some freshwater from the sky and an opportunity to swap a reward for flint. At Saboga, will Rudy's injury impact their chances at the second immunity challenge?

39 days, 18 all-stars, 1 Survivor! A new season is upon us, and it's a much-anticipated one, as 18 former castaways are split into three tribes, the first time either of those has happened in the first eight seasons. Scott makes his newest winner pick and discusses the validity of Jenna Lewis' emerging voting strategy.

In this special episode, Scott turns in his homework of choosing his dream cast of 20 All Stars from the first seven seasons of Survivor, and Brandon reveals the actual cast of 18! There are several surprises in store, both in Scott's choices and also in production's.

It's episode #100 of Scott Survives Survivor, and we celebrate by having not one, but two guests! 🥳 After Scott and Brandon each ranked Pearl Islands as the best of the first seven seasons, it's time to discuss the reunion and some big themes from the season. Of course, Scott will also compete in trivia against one of our guests to see if he can make it two wins in a row. We also do a lot...

In our longest episode ever, we learn about Pete Rose, celebrate Sandra's satisfying victory, and highlight a huge upcoming milestone for the podcast! Of course, we also put Survivor: Pearl Islands and Sandra Diaz-Twine in our ongoing rankings of seasons and winners. Where will they fall?

We're back to discuss the penultimate episode of Survivor: Pearl Islands, which left Scott literally floored! We get into Sandra's plan to sabotage, Burton's choice of reward buddy, and Darrah's usefully small hands. At the end, Scott goes in depth on each of the four remaining winner choices and makes his final selection of the season.

It's a Valentine's Day themed episode, as Brandon asks Scott a very important question. We also request some dictionary pics from the audience during our umlaut discussion, hear Scott's secret thoughts about Survivor, and prepare for the final 5 of Survivor: Pearl Islands!
