Survivor Fans Podcast

It's our first Listener Feedback show for Survivor Micronesia! The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us and share your views on the most recent episode. It was fantastic to hear from so many of you this week. We had several new voices and many regulars too. It seems that JFP can still draw a crowd. This week we hear from: Carol, HollyL, Brian, KathyS, Tim, Doug, Steve, Lee, Ian,...

This week we interview Jonny Fairplay. Jonny was voted out of episode 1 of Survivor Micronesia. Listen to this interview to discover the extent of the injuries he suffered just prior to starting this season, his surprise master plan for the loved ones challenge, who most influenced his decision to leave, how he convinced the producers to let him wear some of the best gear possible for that environ...

Welcome back Survivor Fans! Let the twists and blindsides begin. Wow, that was a surprising start. Ozzy gets beat in the first challenge, outplayed by Erik and outwitted by Jonny Fairplay and Yau-Man. Then, Jonny Fairplay wrangles himself into a position of power in a group of All Stars. The Favs end up with not one but two showmances in the making, and then the Fans win the immunity challenge. It...

Need some Survivor goodness to fill the gap before season 16 begins next week? We've got just what the Survivor SuperFan ordered. That's right. It's time for our "Judge a Book" show, where fans and listeners send in their impressions of the new castaways before we get to see the first episode. These folks spend time studying the bios, favorites lists, and intro videos to gleen some insight and sha...

Calling all Survivor Fans! We're getting ready for the kickoff of the 16th season of Survivor. This marks our 7th 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 20 cont...

This week we interview Todd Herzog. Todd won Survivor China and this was a great opportunity to speak to him one more time and clear up some of those mysteries from the last two episodes and ask him some of those lingering questions several of you had posed earlier in the season. Listen to this interview to find out Todd's strategy for the application videos, the challenges of "managing" Courtney,...

Well, it's finally here. This is our last Listener Feedback show of the season. We love that so many of you took time out of your busy holiday schedules to send in your comments on the finale. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us, share your views on the most recent episodes and your predictions for what you think we can expect next. This is one of our biggest shows ever and...

It's great to see two real Survivor fans in the final three. It certainly seemed like Amanda had a lock on it. Many listeners have been singing her praises from early in the game. You never quite know how the final tribal council will play out though. Sometimes the jury votes out of anger, other times they realize it's a game and reward someone that played well. What did you think about how the fi...

This week we interview Peih-Gee Law. Peih-Gee was voted out in episode 12 of Survivor China. Listen to this interview to find out what motivated Peih-Gee to try so hard to win challenges, which Survivor complained that she had an unfair advantage, her favorite day on the show, how the Fei Long Four convinced her to accept her fate and be voted out peacefully and lots more! If you are not a subscri...

Fei Long for the win! I guess you could look back at the last couple of episodes and claim that we got a very predictable result given that the Fei Long four held tight, but there was plenty of suspense with tonight's episode to keep us guessing. Was anyone besides Stacy rooting for PG, even just a little to make it to final four? Do you think Courtney knew what she was doing at the reward challen...

This is the last Listener Feedback before the finale, which means this might just be the key to guessing the correct order for the final four. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us, share your views on the most recent episode and your predictions for what you think we can expect next. Lots of responses on Todd's disclosure. Denise appears to be someone we're all happy for when...

This week we interview Erik Huffman. Erik was voted out in episode 11 of Survivor China. Listen to this interview to find out if flirting with Jaime and Amanda was a planned strategy, if he ever had access to a real Hidden Immunity Idol, his biggest fear in challenges, plus you get to hear his amazing goat impression again and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to the Survivor Fans Podcast, yo...

Oh, we get it. Todd was never at risk in this episode. Those "Next on Survivor" clues from last week were just a misdirect like when they hinted that James was at risk. No, wait, that really did happen. How does this work again? Ok, you gotta sound off on this one. Did Todd give us a Johnny Fairplay moment, or was that story about his sister true? Will the ladies rally and give us an all female fi...

It's time for another helping of Listener Feedback. You can bet everyone has something to say about the first Survivor to ever hold two immunity idols and get voted out before ever playing either of them. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us, share your views on the most recent episode and your predictions for what you think we can expect next. Most of us really enjoyed episo...

Those diabolically clever editors did it again. With all the promo talk and hints about someone being blindsided, we figured it was just too obvious that James would be the target. It just had to be someone else. Next, they'll trick us into eating our vegatables too. How does someone have TWO immunity idols and never play one? Did you watch James' final words video? Do you think he just got tired...

One of the many things that we are thankful for is that you choose to share your enjoyment of watching Survivor with us each week by providing content for the Listener Feedback shows. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us, share your views on the most recent episode and your predictions for what you think we can expect next. Several people took a guess at what the "Next on Sur...

This week we interview Michael "Frosti" Zernow. Frosti was voted out in episode 9 of Survivor China. Listen to this interview to find out how Frosti got on Survivor before he met the aqe requirement, how his Parkour and Aikido skills helped him last as long as he did, why Amanda was almost in tears at the last immunity challenge, why she repeatedly whacked Frosti on the head with a bamboo stick, i...

Last week Courtney helped rid us of JR, and this week she indirectly helped show Frosti the door too. Denise evidently wasn't mad enough to turn the tables on the power trio. PG did everything she could to get voted out and then messed everything up by winning immunity. Is Erik Amanda's new mimbo? Will that give him a free ride to the final five? What's going to happen next at tribal council? Here...

We were glad to hear that some of you enjoyed the interview with JR. It was certainly a difficult one for us, so it's great to hear that several of you got something out of it. The LF shows are where you get to co-host the show with us, share your views on the most recent episode and your predictions for what you think we can expect next. This week we get to hear several theories on who's going ne...

This week we interview Jean Robert Bellande. Jean Robert was voted out in episode 8 of Survivor China. Check out this interview to find out what had him foaming at the mouth, why he planned to play "the jerk" from the beginning, who's votes he thought he'd get if he made it to the end, if he ever had an alliance with anyone, one of his favorite moments in life, plus answers to questions you submit...

Courtney finally got her revenge. Interestingly enough, she didn't seem to take much pleasure in it. Do you think the original Fei Long members made a tactical error by alienating Denise this week? Is there control in jeopardy? Can you think of any way that Erik, Frosti or PG could make it to final 3? Here's the new merged tribe after episode 8. Hae Da Fung: Amanda, Courtney, Denise, Erik , Frosti...

Service Outage Update : We're sorry for the delay in posting this episode of the show. Our hosting provider has experienced multiple outages which started last night. We've received no notification that the problem has been fixed, but I'm going to post this in hopes that the service has been fully restored. Priceless. That's the most common description in your feedback this week for the scene at T...

This week we interview Jaime Dugan. Jaime was voted out in episode 7 of Survivor China. Check out this interview to find out why she admitted to throwing the immunity challenge, why they thought they could trust James, if there really was a "showmance" with Eric, how she got on Survivor, what happened at tribal council that we didn't get to see, plus answers to questions you submitted and lots mor...

Wow, it finally happened. Someone actually played a fake Hidden Immunity Idol. We've been waiting for that moment since Austin toyed with the idea of creating a fake idol back in season 12, Survivor Exile Island. Do you think Courtney's really trying to win the $1M? What's the best way to handle someone who's still in the game, but doesn't really want to be there? Who knew James was such a comedia...
