Survivor Fans Podcast

Whew, that took a lot more work than usual. We finished recording this 2.5 hour show and then realized that most of the audio saved on the PC was unusable. We had so much fun compiling and recording all of your comments that we knew we had to fix it and get it out to you. Fortunately, we record with a backup and we were able to recover most of it. The audio quality where we read or respond in the...

Today we interviewed Jacquie Berg. She left the game in episode 4 of Survivor Gabon. In spite of securing multiple alliances and being the strongest female player in her tribe, a turn of bad luck sent her packing early. Listen to this interview to hear her assessment of her original Kota tribemates, the details on her secret alliance, her most embarrising moments plus answers to questions you subm...

Wow, we still haven't had a blindside at Tribal Council, but they sure blindsided the fans with this episode. We never figured we would see such a well rounded player in a strong alliance go out this early. Kelly got her revenge and plenty of airtime this week. What do you think about the new tribes? Were you impressed with Kelly this week? Does she have a smart, strong social game, or is she just...

Sounds like most of you really enjoyed episode 3 as much as we did. Sugar's quest for the HII played a big part in that, and the two excellent challenges kept us focused on this new season despite the fact that no one has been blindsided yet in Tribal Council. Thanks to everyone that took the time to send in their thoughts and predictions. This week we hear from: Carol, Samantha, John, Sandi, Char...

Today we interviewed Paloma Soto-Castillo. She left the game in episode 3 of Survivor Gabon. The Kota tribe placed a higher value on physical strength and she paid the price. Listen to this interview to hear her best Ace impression, how she was chosen to be on Survivor, why she needed to borrow Charlie's underwear plus answers to questions you submitted and lots more! If you are not a subscriber t...

Now that both tribes have gotten rid of the "weakest" players, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Poor Paloma never really seemed to have a chance. She appeared to share some negative qualities with Michelle which similarly set her on a course to leave early. Go back and look at her bio picture and then consider how she carried herself in the game. It's like looking at two different...

Wow, what an amazing start for the new season. A two hour episode, a recap show, two interviews, and the most participation we've ever had for the first LF show. It's official. We're exicited about Survivor Gabon! Many thanks to everyone that took the time to send in their thoughts. This week we hear from: Doug, Kristan, Ian, Kathy, Drew UT, Carol, Brian, SurvivorRocks, Drew NJ, Sandi, Kimberly, B...

Today we interviewed Gillian Larson. She left the game in episode 2 of Survivor Gabon. She had applied 15 times before being selected this season and was sure that being back in Africa was a sign she was here to win it all. Unfortunately, the Fang tribe she helped create had different plans for her. Listen to this interview to hear her evaluation of all her tribemates, learn more about the multitu...

This week we interview Michelle Chase. She left the game in episode 1 of Survivor Gabon. She might have only spent a short time with the Fang tribe, but she had some pretty clear opinions of them that she did not hesitate to share. Listen to this interview to learn more about her connection to last season's winner, why she thought Randy should have been taken out of the game, how she faired on tha...

Woohoo! Survivor's back and finally in HD which was every bit as stunning as we had always imagined. Surprise, the Parvati clone turns out to not have any social game and the "older" female is singled out for being weak. Well that first one was a surprise for many of us even though Jeff Probst essentianly called it for both women in the pre-season interviews. What do you think Randy's chances are...

It's time for our pre-season Judge A Book By Its Cover show. That's right, we're sharing our impressions of the new castaways before we even get to see the first episode. The instructions for this show were to study the bios, intro videos and the TV Guide preview to gleen some insight. Many thanks to everyone that took the time to send in their thoughts. This week we hear from: Becky, Doug, Belind...

She also shared a preview of her Gabon picks with us. We're looking forward to hearing the rest of her picks and yours too! Let us k...

Calling all Survivor Fans! We're getting ready for the kickoff of the 17th season of Survivor. This marks our 8th season of podcasting about Survivor, what we refer to as one of our life's simple pleasures. Basically, we enjoy watching Survivor and talking about it with our friends, and we begin each season with our "Judge a Book by its Cover" show. We want to hear what you think about the 18 new...

Ah, the bittersweet end of another Survivor season. There's still lots to talk about though as we wind down from another great season of one of our favorite shows. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on this season, what you enjoyed the most, do you prefer a final 2 or final 3, what was Natalie talking about in the last TC, how does this season rate for...

Watch or listen to this interview to find out how he got on Survivor, which woman he holds most responsible for his downfall, whose gameplay surprised him the most, what he would like his fans to know plus answers to questions you submitted and lots more! If you are...

Never send an Ice Cream Boy to do an Ice Cream Man's job.... or something like that. So, what do you think? Is it a bigger blunder than James made in China? Giving up a guaranteed final four spot would appear to qualify. Is anyone else surprised that we actually ended up with a female final four? Who stands the best chance to win it all from here? Here are our final four: Dabu: Amanda, Cirie, Nata...

Many of you said you enjoyed the long format LF shows, so we're sticking to that since it's working. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode and predictions for what we can expect next. You knew such an awesome episode would generate a lot of discussion. So, here's another whopper of a show. It's actually 1 second longer than last...

Listen to this interview to find out how Alexis got on Survivor, the details behind their injuries, Alexis' deal with Cirie for the reward challenge plus answers to questions you submitted and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to the Sur...

Wow, a third person leaves this season without being voted out. Not sure if James actually had any game left in him, but it's hard to see him go out that way. So, does this mean that Parvati is loyal to Amanda, or just really lucky at aligning with the person in power? Why doesn't anyone think to target Cirie? Erik just won his second immunity challenge in a row. Are you still convinced that we'll...

Most of the podcasting advice out there says, "keep your shows short to avoid losing your audience's attention." So, these super duper LF shows fly in the face of conventional wisdom. We cut bits and pieces here and there, but it's really hard to pare it down much more with all the great insights you guys send in. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on t...

This week we interview Jason Siska. He left the game in episode 11 of Survivor Micronesia to become the 3rd member of the jury.

Jason really is a winner if you grade him against his primary objective in the game. He wanted to prove that he could beat Ozzy, and he certainly demonstrated that he could exceed him even when it came to making blunders. Is Natalie getting a winner or villain's edit? Will we see James go out on a medical leave? Which alliance do you believe Parvati is really loyal to? Does it matter at this point...

Wow, Ozzy got blindsided and he says there's more to come. You think we might get a lot of people who want to talk about what happened in episode 10? If you love Survivor and have been dying to find someone to talk with, you've found a home here for sure. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode and predictions for what we can expec...
