Survivor Fans Podcast

Welcome back Survivor Fans! What a great start to the new season. :) Did you like the change in format? They focused the whole first half of the show on the people this time to help us get to know them better. Who were you most surprised by? Did anyone stand out as potential villian or hero for this season? Here's the tribes after episode 1. Aitutaki: Billy, Cecilia, Cristina, J.P., Ozzy Manihiki:...

Are you as psyched about the new season of Survivor that starts this Thursday as we are? We can't wait, and what better way to get ready than a preview show where we wade in and share our extremely biased views on how we think all the new castaways will do before we ever get to see them in action? Our "Judge a Book by its Cover" show gives us an excuse to get to know the new Survivor contestants a...

It's time to kick off a new season of Survivor with our traditional "Judge a Book by its Cover" show. We want to hear what you think about the 20 new contestants for Survivor Cook Islands. There's not a lot of information to draw on. It's not clear yet how all these diverse people will interact with each other or what agendas they plan to follow throughout the game. Study their pictures, read thei...

Part 5 concludes the story of Stacy's adventure this summer at the BOSS 14 Day Field Skills class and focuses on days 12 through 14. Day 12 begins the Student Expedition phase of the journey. At this point, the students are given a set of maps and directions for their way points on each day, along with the phone numbers of key staff in case they have an emergency. The group's first goal is to hike...

Part 4 continues the story of Stacy's adventure this summer at the BOSS 14 Day Field Skills class and focuses on days 9 through 11. Day 9 concludes the Group Expedition phase with a challenging hike through the gulch and includes the beginning of Solo. During Solo, the students are on their own with no contact for 48 hours. Will Stacy be able to get fire, will he be forced to eat pinole and raw ve...

Ok, we're finally back. Stacy was quite ill for the last few weeks, but he's much better now and we're ready to continue. Part 3 resumes the story of Stacy's experience this summer at the BOSS 14 Day Field Skills class and focuses on days 6 through 8. The group was reenergized during their stay at Durfey creek and ready to tackle the Group Expedition phase. Day 6 begins with Mike and Stacy leading...

Part 2 continues the story of Stacy's experience this summer at the BOSS 14 Day Field Skills class and focuses on days 3 through 5. With day 2 and the challenge of The Needle behind them, the group heads back up to the small pool of water for a drink and then they're off again on another long journey which includes hiking up the side of a mountain for a little extra challenge. Day 4 focused on the...

In this special, off season podcast, Jo Ann and Stacy talk about the preparation for and experience of Stacy's first 2 days in the BOSS Field Skills class. During the Impact phase, the students get no food and only limited access to water. Check out the pictures that accompany the podcast here: Podcast Pics BOSS Experience This certainly qualifies as something different than what you're used to fr...

Greetings Survivor Fans, We're going out with our biggest Listener Feedback show yet. It's a little over an hour and a half long, so you'll probably have to partake in small doses if you're a die hard Survivor fan and plan on listening to the whole thing. We're thrilled so many of you were moved to send in your thoughts. It's been a great season primarily because of your participation. This episod...

Greetings Survivor Fans, We got enough responses to do a special Saturday version of the Listener Feedback show. We really enjoyed hearing what some of you thought of the final four cliffhanger. This episode we hear from: Paul, Jason, Mallory, Sandi, and Bob We're planning on recaping the finale and including your reactions during the normal Listener Feedback show on Tuesday. It's been another gre...

Greetings Survivor Fans, Did you enjoy getting to see the extra reward challenge? Do you think it would have been against the rules if Danielle and Terry had agreed that whoever got the votes in Tribal Council could play the hidden immunity idol? Are you disappointed that we never saw the hidden immunity idol played? Did you think it was worth a cliffhanger episode? Well, it's sort of hard to comp...

Greetings Survivor Fans, There's lots of tasty, final four scenarios to consider in this week's Listener Feedback show. The two biggest camps of thought either have Aras or Terry winning it all, but there's at least one adventurous soul that predicts Cirie will walk away with the $1M. This week we hear from: Carol, Brad, Hanna, Dave, Bonnie, Brian, Amy, Graham, Sandi, Bob, Jason, and Weezie. It's...

Greetings Survivor Fans, Hmm, did the brilliant Casaya's just send a fifth vote for Terry to the jury? It's not clear who's playing the worse inter-personal game at this point. If you have an alliance with Terry, or you attempt to make one, you're virtually guaranteed to go home next. If you're a part of the inseperable Casayas and you keep blindsiding your "friends" can you really expect them to...

Greetings Survivor Fans, Wow, you guys really came through with some great feedback this week! If you're a fan of Survivor, you're going to love this one. How great is it that we all have each other and get together each week like this to hash over each episode? :) This week we hear from: Mark, Fancy, Dave, Carol, Brad, Hanna, Amy, Jason, Bonnie, Sandi, Brian, Paul, Bob, and Graham. It's great to...

Greetings Stephenie/Survivor Fans, We resolved our hosting limitation problems. We decided to pay a little extra this month to boost up our limit so we could get this interview out to you sooner. This our third and final interview in the three part series that we conducted during Media Day 2006 for Survivor the Ride at Paramount's Great America. This time we sit down with Stephenie LaGrossa from S...

Greetings Survivor Fans, Let's all be happy for Terry's wife! She just won a new GM Yukon. According to Stacy, the "car curse" will be broken this season. Terry's now got four votes on the jury and he'll be the Sole Survivor if he can somehow hold on to make final two. Cirie demonstrated some extremely clever maneuvering to get rid of Courtney. If Courtney holds a grudge though, it will turn out t...

Greetings Survivor Fans, The consensus from the listeners is in. Don't freakin sing to me if I'm sick! Courtney managed to asail to new heights on the annoying scale when Bruce went down for the count in this episode, and lots of folks wanted to talk about it. This week we hear from: Fancy, Brad, Amy, Brian, Dave, Jason, Sandi, Bob, and Graham. We certainly had fun with this show, maybe we were a...

Hey Survivor Fans, It's time for our second interview in the three part series that we conducted during Media Day 2006 for Survivor the Ride at Paramount's Great America. This time we sit down with Lex van den Berghe from Survivor Africa and Survivor All Stars. Wait till you hear Lex's reasons for deciding which season of Survivor was the toughest so far. :) Enjoy, Jo Ann and Stacy

Yeah, we know you've been anxiously awaiting them. Here's the first in our three part series of Survivor interviews that we conducted during Media Day 2006 for Survivor the Ride at Paramount's Great America. Our first interview is with Katie Gallagher from Survivor Palau. Enjoy, Jo Ann and Stacy

Greetings Survivor Fans, Here's the video we promised from Media Day 2006 for Survivor the Ride at Paramount's Great America. We hope you enjoy it, Jo Ann and Stacy

Greetings Survivor Fans, Wow, that reward challenge carried quite a sting for one survivor. Can you imagine how you would feel if the folks you had been living with for the last 30 days declared that: you talk too much, you're a poseur, you're spineless, and the most annoying person out here? According to her tribemates, those statements all describe Courtney Marit. It will be interesting to see i...

Greetings Survivor Fans, We're glad you stopped by to check out the show. This episode is a great example of our Listener Feedback show where you get to sound off with your views on how the game is shaping up, creative strategies that we all wish the Survivors would apply, and as always general observations on the humorous side of the events that have occurred. This week we hear from: Carol, Hanna...

Welcome Home Survivor Fans, Well, I guess it wasn't really a surprise how this episode played out (we picked Sally to go this week), but we were really hoping to see a glint of some serious strategy applied. In any case we had fun watching. Here's the Gitanos tribe as it stands after episode 9: Aras, Bruce, Cirie, Courtney, Danielle, Shane, and Terry Here's the jury: Austin , Sally Names in italic...

Greetings Strategy Buffs (and Survivor Fans), We're at the point in the game where it really starts to get interesting. A multitude of possibilities opens up after the merge as we head towards the final 4. It's fun to imagine the different paths each Survivor might take, and the hidden immunity idol has definitely added some new twists to consider as all of the listener feedback we received highli...

Greetings Survivor Fans, Wow, we might have gone off the deep end in the strategy department of the podcast this week. :) Stacy's hung up on using the hidden immunity idol to bluff Casaya and undermine their alliance. Jo Ann has masterminded a three way tie scenario she thinks Casaya overlooked this time that would have nullified Terry's hidden immunity idol and still get Austin voted out. Listen...
