Survivor Fans Podcast

This week we interviewed Spencer Duhm. He left the game in episode 5 of Survivor Tocantins. Spencer made Survivor history by being the youngest person to play the game, and as a true fan of the show he tried to make the most of each step in the process. Listen to this interview to learn extra details about the reward challenge, how being a super fan affected his standing in the tribe, how he event...

Episode 5 brings us the solidification of the "awesome foursome inter-tribe alliance" and what may be its downfall all in one fell swoop. What was your take on Stephen's reasoning? Is he committed or will he cause it to unravel? Who's more at risk: Taj or Brendan? When you hear these two words together "Charmin Cafe", does it conjure up a positive image? Do you think Ben is guaranteed to make the...

While many of us expressed our disappointment that Sandy won't be there now to make us laugh each week, there was also some great strategic discussion in this week's Listener Feedback. Many of you pondered the potential of the inter-tribe alliance and the possibility of seeing HIIs played in episode 5. There's some great speculation on each of the remaining players, and as usual, great love for ex...

This week we interviewed Sandy Burgin. She left the game in episode 4 of Survivor Tocantins. Sandy made us laugh more than anyone else this season, and we will certainly miss hearing from her each week. Listen to this interview to find out what this Survivor fan did to her body that helped her land a spot on the show, her view of each of her tribemates, why the Jalapao tribe is always so grimy and...

After episode 4, the tribes are even again. That makes it prime time for a  tribal shuffle. What did you make of Timbira's "pow-wow" to select a leader? Taj had no problem bringing Stephen and Sierra into the "Secret Alliance". Do you think it stands a chance in the long run of the game? Will Erinn's emotional isolation do her in? Could her weakness end up playing a role in Ben's plan to control T...

Episode 3 continued the blindside trend, but from the feedback, most of us thought we were the intended target instead of Jerry. Ben's antics are a major focus again this week as well as speculation on the potential of the inter-tribe alliance. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what...

This week we interviewed Jerry Simms. He left the game in episode 3 of Survivor Tocantins. A lot of us had high hopes for Jerry, but an unfortunate illness ended his Survivor experience before we ever really got to see him play. Listen to this interview to hear his thoughts on each of his tribemates, how he was chosen for the show, why Brendan said he chose Taj to join him on Exile and much more!...

With episode 3, we transition from one combo challenge per episode to separate reward and immunity challenges providing two opportunities for each player to convince their tribe that they can't live without them or make the choice for who to vote for at tribal council much easier. Erinn appeared to catch another break this week, but what did you think of her willingness to criticize her tribe agai...

We've all had time to digest the second episode of Survivor Tocantins, and it's time to see what you thought about it. Ben, Taj and Candace are the three most talked about this week, but all 15 remaining castaways get some airtime as we wrap up the SFP podcast cycle on episode two. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fa...

This week we interviewed Candace Smith. She left the game in episode 2 of Survivor Tocantins. She had a lot to say, and the sparks really flew when we asked her to assess her fellow tribemates. Listen to this interview to hear her sing the praises of two of her Timbira tribemates and dish the dirt on the rest, find out why they arrived so late to camp that first day and the real story behind the s...

Oh yeah! The challenge in episode 2 was everything we hoped for. Both tribes provided some fierce gameplay that may result in some lasting resentments. Would you go all out and punish the other tribe in an attempt to win or try to do just enough to get by? Sandy dodged another bullet, but Sierra seemed at times like she was trying to make it easy to vote her out? Were you surprised and blindsided...

The first episode of Survivor Tocantins is behind us, and it's time to see what you thought about it. How did it compare to previous seasons? Did your "first impressions" change or were you surprised at how accurate they were? For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how yo...

This week we interviewed Carolina Eastwood. She left the game in episode 1 of Survivor Tocantins. She might have only spent a short time with the Jalapao tribe, but she had some great stories to share. Listen to this interview to learn more about her tribe, who emerged as a leader, find out who accused her of stealing, along with what she thought went wrong in the first immunity challenge and lots...

It's great to have Survivor back, and Brazil in HD is magnificent. We certainly ended up changing our first impressions of several of the new castaways during this first episode. What do you think Sandy's chances are after getting to see how she handled herself in the first episode? Do you think Sierra made any progress in changing Timbira's minds? What about Ben? How do you think he will fare whe...

The first episode of Survivor Tocantins is almost here! One more week and we'll be back in the thick of it again. Here's a treat to make the time pass faster. How did your "first impressions" stack up against this group of Survivor Super Fans? This is Part II of our "Judge a Book by its Cover" show. Twenty four fans, just like you, recorded their perspective on the new cast including their choice...
