Survivor Fans Podcast

We finally got a new twist that delivered. On a more serious note, this was also an emotionally packed episode, from dealing with grief over a lost loved one, to what it means to be black in a America. This one packed a punch. What did you think about Jeff's "dangerous Do or Die twist"? What did you think about the issues that Liana, Danny and Deshawn are wrestling with while playing this game? Wh...

Lots of fans are calling this the best episode of the season. As several noted, no idols or advantages were played, there were no twists, and Probst didn't talk directly to the audience. It all came down to classic Survivor gameplay while attempting to manage the broader spectrum of human relationships and the associated emotions in a game for a million dollars. We have our fingers crossed that th...

Wow, that exceeded expectations on so many levels! We loved the nuances of the alliance considerations, the struggle with deciding how to cast their votes, and we especially enjoyed the final result even though it cost us. What do you think Jeff's "dangerous twist" will be in the next Immunity challenge? Which alliance are you supporting? Who is in danger of being voted out next? Who impressed you...

Two tribal councils and two vote outs really upped the ante this week. Fans are cheering for this seasons big underdog, and many were sad to see a couple of favorites get eliminated, but we're just as excited for the possible showdown in the next episode. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Christiana, Er...

Two random teams, two individual immunities and two tribal councils made for a terrific episode this week. It was really interesting to see who went against the controlling, majority alliance. Which vote out surprised you the most? Which alliance are you supporting? Who is in danger of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Who do you want to see more of? Here is where it stands after w...

We got another episode this week with mixed reviews. Many fans enjoyed it and others not so much. We're all still invested though and can't week to see the next installment. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Christiana, Jean, Erin, Michell, Rebecca, Robert, Boother, Nicky, Ann-n-John, Drew, David, Parke...

While the end result was essentially what many fans expected, the path to get there took some really interesting turns this week. Initially, it looked like the core four might have a lock on the second half of the season, but now, not so much. Do you think they can repair the alliance or will it be a mad scramble to re-align? Which alliance are you supporting? Who is in danger of being voted out n...

One thing is crystal clear from this week's feedback. The last two episodes should have been combined. It would have spared a lot of disappointment, because part two was as well received as part one was despised. The season as a whole is still getting mixed reviews, but the social and strategic scramble and ensuing Tribal Council chaos delighted many. No one expressed sadness for the latest vote o...

Wow, that was a very satisfying resolution to the cliff hanger from last week! Bonus, we even got to hear from this season's primarily purple castaway. What's your thoughts on how the advantages were played this week? Which alliance are you supporting? Who is in danger of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Who do you want to see more of? Here is where it stands after week 7. Merge T...

One of the easiest ways to confuse and frustrate a Survivor fan is to violate the fundamental principles we have come to expect from the game. A core principle of the game is that each episode covers at least one game cycle which concludes with a castaway being voted out of the game. To quote one of the younger fans when asked what they didn't like about this week's episode, "it didn't feel good."...

They said it would be something we had never seen before, and they certainly delivered. Who would have thought they would choose to do that when we are already facing a shorter season? What did you think of the big twist? What would you decide? Can you see any path forward for the exiled castaway? Which alliance are you supporting? Who is in danger of being voted out next? Who impressed you the mo...

The fans are eager to discuss the new advantage, the latest vote out, and the impending, potential merge. The continued decimation of one tribe and the continued ascension of our primary villains is reviewed too. Like you, we can't wait to see how it all unfolds on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from:...

The Advantages were back in this episode but thankfully not in a gaudy, overbearing way. We're excited to see how they'll be utilized going forward. If it's not a merge, what do you think will happen next? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Who do you want to see more of? Here is where it stands after...

The fans really enjoyed the break from the byzantine advantage structure we were subjected to in the early episodes. The humorous attempt to throw the challenge and continued blunders of the last boot were also a frequent topic. Based on other feedback, we have at least two solid villains to cheer against now. It all contributes to our excitement for the next installment on Wednesday. We want to t...

It was refreshing to get a break from last week's advantage avalanche and dig into to some classic Survivor machinations. When would you consider throwing a challenge? Who do you think poses the greatest threat to Luvu's challenge dominance? Who are the most improved players this season? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who imp...

We may have dodged the Fire Token economy, but they still found a way to make the game seem unnecessarily complex for some fans. Feedback in week 3 is a bit of a mixed bag. Some are loving it, some are not having fun, and others are more confused than anything else. Such is life as a Survivor fan. In any case, we're still psyched for the next episode. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who...

Wow, Survivor found a new gear this week. We got lots of advantage action, and some awesome strategic choices to digest. What do you think? Should all advantages and idols come with a built in risk? How much would you be willing to share if you found an advantage? Would you ever consider throwing a challenge? How do you think the lack of a puzzle affected the challenge outcome? Who do you think is...

It's only week 2, but we found lots to talk about. The Beware Advantage and it's bizarre conditions combined with the unconventional gameplay at Yase sparked a great discussion amongst all the super fans this week. We're excited and looking forward to the next episode. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete,...

OK, we're back to the standard, one hour episode this week with a combo challenge with two out of three tribes winning Immunity/Reward. We loved how it all came together and enjoyed watching one of the castaways really excel this week. The twists associated with the Beware Advantage are interesting but we're not clear on how it will play out. How did your assessment of the castaways change once yo...

It's great to be back and time to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the first episode of season 41. We all loved that the first episode was two hours and enjoyed the "behind-the-scenes" shots. Probst's handling of the catch phrase was a bit of a mixed bag. On the whole though, it was a net positive based on your feedback this week. We can't wait for Wednesday night when we get the next installm...

We love, love, love a two hour season premiere. It's so nice to have that extra time to get to know the new cast. We appreciated the deeper back stories too. We were a bit surprised with the double elimination, but knew it was a possibility. We expect to see more of those since the season's only 26 days long now. What did you think of each tribe and the new elements this season? How did your asses...

Welcome back for Part 2 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preview for season 41. We are only four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, September 22nd, and seventeen super fans like you recorded their perspective on this interesting, new cast including their choice of favorites, who's most likely to get voted out first, make the merge, have a shot at the final tribal council as well as...

  Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 41. This season is full of new players, so we have very little information to go on when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. No...

We're excited to bring you a special episode of the podcast and our first content of the year during the pandemic hiatus. This is the 2021 Survivor Fans Roundtable. A group of fans got together on Zoom to talk about our favorite show, reminiscence about the podcast and also invited some special guests to join in. We are thrilled to bring you some content about our favorite show and look forward to...

Based on the feedback, this season was a hit! Just how great it was and where it sits overall is still up for debate, but most everyone was happy with the winner, and even the final three. How refreshing to have a final three and no goats. It was a phenomenal cast and they really delivered. Survivor Fans Podcast will be on hiatus until Survivor returns. JSFL side challenge update: JKindred has cho...
