Survivor Fans Podcast

We had another great adventure at the Survivor Gabon finale! In this podcast, we recap the finale and share details of our trip. It was really exciting because we were able to sit in the audience for the first time, and we were able to do interviews on the Red Carpet!   Congratulations to John D, winner of the Gabon JSFL! He was the only player to get the final four order correct! He jumped from a...

Today we interviewed Crystal Cox. She left the game in episode 13 of Survivor Gabon. Crystal was responsible for eliminating Marcus and thus ensuring the demise of the once mighty Onion alliance. Watch or Listen to this interview to find out who she thinks is the real mastermind, what other castaway she helped train for the show, her most embarrassing moment plus answers to questions you submitted...

We were treated to another excellent episode and a superb Tribal Council! Back at the beginning of the season, would you have ever imagined that Bob would win four challenges in a row? Were you as surprised as us to see the animosity between the alliance of 5 that so effectively wiped out the Onion alliance? Do you think Sugar is "good people"? Here is the tribe after the thirteenth episode: NOBAG...

Once again, there's something here for everyone. Think Ken, Bob, or Matty are going next? Think this was a great episode or a predictable, boring one? Curious why Kenny the great strategist needed to vote for Matty at all or how Susie might win if she makes it to the end? All these predictions, assessments, questions and much more are shared and answered in today's show. We want to thank and ackno...

Today we interviewed Corinne Kaplan. She left the game in episode 12 of Survivor Gabon. Corinne started strong but then had to sit back and watch her alliance get picked off one by one. She made a great last attempt but was foiled due to paranoia. Listen to this interview to find out how she was chosen, how she trained for the show, her view on who's really being mean and her unaired final words a...

It was really great to be back at a Tribal Council that involved some suspense. The "Amazing Bob" train appears to have a full head of steam at this point. It was certainly interesting to see how easily Ken and Crystal flipped to Bob and Corinne's plan. Do you think Bob will be able to escape the focused wrath of Kenny? Do you think Kenny will be able to recover from voting for Matty? What did you...

CBS offered up a recap show last week and we've got our own special episode too. As previously mentioned, here's the audio Shane recorded for us while he was adventuring through the jungle on holiday in Pulau Tiga. When he returned, he provided some extra details on his trip that we mixed in for those of you that might also be interested in checking out the location where it all began. Dan Bolling...

We definitely ended up with two, polarized camps to describe episode 10. Some people loved it and others found it lacking. The other big discussion points: Was Bob playing strategically or was he just in it to help Sugar get revenge on Randy? Is Sugar way smarter than anyone is giving her credit for? We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show....

Today we interviewed Randy Bailey. He left the game in episode 10 of Survivor Gabon. Randy struggled early on with Fang, excelled with Kota, and then crashed and burned as the Onion alliance was peeled away. Listen to this interview to learn if there were any other auction items, if he suspected the idol was fake plus answers to questions you submitted and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to...

Wow, first Susie and now Kenny. Who's next, Crystal? Several of us imagined elaborate plans for how Bob might take advantage of his fake HII. Very few if any saw its potential as a masterful joke constructed by Sugar. Do you think he made the best choice for himself? Does Corrine stand a chance to make final 3, or is she simply a pawn now waiting for the axe to fall? When is the best time to get r...

We're running out of buttons to assign the audio comments to. There were 24 files sent in this week. What a great "problem" to have! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we hear from: KathyS, Brad, John, Saundra, Doug, DrewT, Tammy, Rayn, Brian, Paul, Ian, Carol, Carolyn, DrewG, Becky, Shelley, Jeannie, Samantha, Sandi, Becca,...

Today we interviewed Charlie Herschel. He left the game in episode 9 of Survivor Gabon. Ken evidently had it in for him from the beginning, and there was nothing he could do to change that. Listen to this interview to learn how he cleverly snuck contraband into the game, extra details about the village reward feast, who's the diva that's getting a sweetheart edit plus answers to questions you subm...

One, two, three... the blindsides just keep coming! Are you surprised that tiny little Ken has been behind the last two? Bonzai Bob wins the award for "Best Fake HII". What do you think his best strategy for using it is now that the tribes merged? Susie guaranteed herself three more days by winning individual immunity. Who saw that coming? We've seen a couple of significant swing vote scenarios in...

The Survivor Fans Podcast is celebrating a milestone with this show. This is our 250th podcast! We're thrilled that so many of you took the time to share your observations and predictions from episode 8 of Survivor Gabon. It was an exciting episode with many twists that kept us all guessing till the end. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback s...

Today we interviewed Marcus Lehman. He left the game in episode 8 of Survivor Gabon. One of the most honerable guys out there couldn't convince Susie he would keep his word and it cost him the game. Listen to this interview to find out who was responsible for getting Marcus on the show, if he told anyone he was a doctor, how he first heard about the wardrobe mishap plus answers to questions you su...

Wow, Dr Feelgood made an early exit. Most of us didn't see that one coming, but six savvy JSFL players were rewarded with a 2 point FoJ, First on Jury, bonus this week! Sugar surprised no one by crying after learning that she had betrayed the one person that had consistently protected her. Bob was sure regretting last week's choice too. Do you think it would have hurt Marcus in any way to let Susi...

This week we hear from several loyal listeners responding to "Doug's Challenge", one even in spite of great, personal adversity. As always, we love hearing your views on the last episode and your predictions for what you think will happen next! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we hear from: Drew T, Kathy W, Doug, Kathy S,...

Today we interviewed Ace Gordon and Dan Kay. They both left the game in episode 7 of Survivor Gabon. Ace's reputation as a snake finally came back to bite him, and Dan was never able to break into the inner circle at New Kota. Listen to this interview to learn how they were chosen for Survivor, how Dan felt after seeing Sugar find the HII, if Randy got a letter from home, how many bones Ace broke...

Woohoo! We got our first blindside plus a masterful demonstration of vote splitting to flush a potential HII. Sugar betrayed the one person that had consistently protected her. So, who really turned out to the be snake in that alliance? Dan's social awkwardness and lack of impulse control around food sealed his fate. Do you think it will be a better long term choice to stick with fickle Susie? Poo...

What a great week for Listener Feedback. We hear from several first time commentors and quite a few of you responded to Doug's challenge to send an audio comment. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we hear from: Shane, Bill, Belinda, Becky, Shelley, Debbie, Manlam, Drew T, Ashley, Suzanne, Sandi, Dee Dee, John, Ian, Drew G, Kathy S, Holly,...

Today we interviewed Kelly Czarnecki. She left the game in episode 6 of Survivor Gabon. Kelly's "straight talk" strategy certainly made her Tribal Council visits interesting and entertaining. Listen to this interview to learn how she was chosen for Survivor, who she thinks is calling all the shots at Fang, who she would like to see win plus answers to questions you submitted and lots more! If you...

For better or worse, it seems safe to say that Kelly always spoke her mind. Unfortunately for her, that seemed to secure her a spot at Loser's Lodge instead of a place in the merged tribe. The Brat alliance is down to two remaining members and they will very likely go in their own respective directions very soon now. Do you think the ongoing fragmentation in Fang will leave them all as free agents...

It's time to hear what you thought about episode 5 and what you think we should expect next. We've got a wide range of topics and deep insights to analyze as 33 hardcore Survivor fans share their views. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we hear from: Becky, John, Kathy W, Doug, Kristin, Graham, Ian, Dave, Debbie, Samantha, Carol, Drew G,...

Today we interviewed Danny "GC" Brown. He left the game in episode 5 of Survivor Gabon. We are never happy to see someone give up on the game of Survivor, but he had apparently reached his limit and had nothing left to offer. Listen to this interview to learn more about his alliances, his version of why he almost missed the Immunity challenge, if he has any regrets for how he left the game plus an...

Uhg, at least the first person that quit last season was suffering from a broken jaw. Who knows, maybe GC will get to DJ at the finale. The Brat alliance led by the Evil 3 took a big hit this week. Will this spell the end for them or will they rally to take down Ace as their losing streak continues? Dan's so comfortable at the new Kota tribe, that he's decided to let his true self show through. Do...
