Survivor Fans Podcast

This was an emotional episode, and it elicited a range of responses from the fans. Some were happy with the end result, and others, not so much. Survivor's not a fair game by any stretch, but sometimes it can seem downright brutal in it's outcomes. In any case, we're excited to see how the battle lines are drawn now, and to see which alliance will end up in control on Wednesday! We want to thank a...

Wow, that was exciting! They sure can pack a lot into a single day of the game. Battle lines have been drawn. It's going to be exciting to see how it plays out from here. Who do you think is controlling the game? Do you think they can hang on to power? Who are the front runners to make it to the Final Tribal council? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who d...

Yay! We have officially reached the Merge, and the second stage of the game has begun. Many found this episode predictable as evidenced by the large number of correct selections for the Vote-Out choice in JSFL this week. There are a few front runners and fans also highlighted some potential Under-the-Radar winners too. We are excited to learn more about the twist Probst hinted at and can't wait fo...

Whether or not you are a fan of "Earn the Merge", we can all likely agree this is so much better without the hourglass twist. The game will change dramatically from here. It should be interesting to see how the remaining eleven castaways adapt and interact as the jury begins to form. What do you think about being able to practice with exact replicas of the puzzles at home? What do you think about...

The double whammy of no Tribal and no formal closure as another castaway left the game left lots of fans wanting more. In spite of that, folks found lots of interesting developments to discuss. Now, as we head into Mergatgory in the next episode, we are excited to see how everyone reacts and adapts to the changing landscape of the game. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to...

We certainly knew it was a possibility, but we hoped it wouldn't happen. Oh well. Looks like the game is going to shift into another gear now. What did you think about this turn of events? Who will be able to adapt and take advantage of this new development? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopard...

The impact of the twist along with the continued discussion of production supplied fake idols dominate the feedback in this episode. The sheer amount of idols, fake idols, and advantages is once again taking it's toll on the fans, with more expected next week. Thankfully, Paul's Visual Roster helps us keep it all straight and ready to dive in to the next installment on Wednesday. We want to thank...

"Come on, baby. Lets do the twist". The castaways were shocked and so were we! That certainly changed the dynamics in each tribe. How do you think the twist will impact the game going forward? What did you think of this week's Tribal Council vote? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being...

The fake idols as well as the agreement on the castaway voted out is a big focus of this week's feedback. There are definitely a couple of players that really stood out and are well on their way to becoming fan favorites. The response to this episode was overwhelmingly positive. We are all excited to see where the next twist will take us on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who...

We really like this edit formula: post-Tribal, Tribe Time, Challenge, pre-Tribal, Tribal. It provides some much needed insight to the social aspects of the game. What did you think of this week's vote? What did you make of the two new idols that were discovered this week? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is st...

There's one castaway that everyone's talking about this week. There's also lots of discussion about those Bird Cage Idols, and how they're connected. Most everyone was sad to see the latest boot leave the game, but the exit interviews offered some extra insight into what might have actually been driving the decision. We can't wait for Wednesday night when we get the next installment. We want to th...

Would we have preferred another 90 minute episode in week 2? Absolutely, but alas, this season we have already returned to the standard, 60 minute dose of our favorite show. This one was packed with lots of tribe time, and we enjoyed seeing how the social game was progressing in each camp. We've seen how it played out in three iterations now. What did you think of the Bird Cage idol? How did your...

It's great to be back and it's time again to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the first episode of season 44. The two hour episode with a single Tribal Council continues to be a hit. With all the medical activity, off the wall antics, and haphazard voting decisions, overall feedback was mixed, but we were happy to be back together, discussing our favorite show again. We can't wait for Wednesda...

Once again, two hours is the best way to start the season premiere. We love the extra time to get to know the new cast. What did you think of the how the season started with a "Behind the scenes" style clip? How would you describe the episode as a whole? Is there a showmance brewing? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best,...

Welcome back for Part 2 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preview for season 44. We are only four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, March 1st, and seventeen super fans like you recorded their perspective on the new cast including their choice of favorites, who's most likely to get voted out first, make the merge, have a shot at the final tribal council as well as who has what it ta...

Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 44. Once again, we have all new players, so we have limited information to go on when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. Now it...

As expected, we received a wide variety of reactions to the finale and the season as a whole. Feedback ranged from happy and satisfied to disappointed and confused. It's all here for the taking. That's a wrap on our coverage of Season 43. We'll be on break until we return with the JABBIC shows in late February for Season 44. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another grea...

We absolutely did not see that coming. What's more surprising is how much we enjoyed it all. This is the first time that we even enjoyed the After Show. This is clearly one for record books when it comes to feel good endings for us. We're looking forward to hearing what you thought. What did you think of the challenges? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you happy with the end result? Wha...

We're all in agreement. If one castaway in particular makes it to final 3, they're all but guaranteed to win. What's not as clear is who goes out at five and four, and how's everyone's fire making skills? We are looking forward to getting all these questions answered and an action packed finale on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedba...

Did we just witness the winning move for Survivor Season 43? That was really impressive. It's not often you see a castaway put together a massive blindside that also manages to flush another idol in the process. Moves this big, this late in the game tend to carry extra weight. How do you think this will play with the jury? What's your pick for the final five order? How did your assessment of the c...

That new advantage certainly got the fans seal of approval this week. Lots of us enjoyed the flashback to an old school, Survivor challenge and really appreciated the effort from the castaways. It appears that everything is converging for an exciting penultimate episode. We're excited to see how it plays out from here to the finale. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to anot...

Wow, we didn't expect this to be such a jam packed episode. It's always exciting to see castaways break records. How fun was the search for the new advantage? What did you think of how it was constructed? Would you want to see that one again? How would you do in the Last Gasp challenge? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, who's in contro...

For the fans that live for the challenges, the vote out this week hit hard. The game is known for eliminating the fiercest competitors. Some of us are also struggling with the season as a whole, where this "lite" version of the show feels lacking. We're a diverse bunch though and there's also groups of fans that are loving it. The main thing we agree on though is that we're already looking forward...

Well, that was a solid episode. We got an impactful Reward Challenge, a classic Individual Immunity challenge, and another big threat to win was voted out by a clear majority. How do you think you would handle getting letters from home if you were in the game? Who do you think is doing the best at Jury Management? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playi...

Oh yeah, the double elimination was a big hit, for almost everyone. There was some debate on who exactly was eliminated and the strategic merits, but all that action packed into one day in the game kept us riveted. We expect that the excitement level will continue to ramp from here. We're really looking forward to if they can take down another big target next week. We want to thank and acknowledge...
