Jeff can't stop ruining tribal council, but the cast is making up for it. We recapped the tenth episode of season 43 and tried out our own mixed metaphors.   Some highlights: Survivor Top Ten is like a Turducken. Two of us are enjoying this season more, one of us is "meh." Gabler might be ... good?? Dave is still not convinced Cassidy could win the game. Do Jesse's three rules apply to every blind...

"You've all been Survivors the whole time." At least, that's what we think Jeff will say when he finally leaves the show.   We recapped this episode and share our thoughts on the season so far.   Some more highlights: Dave is done with the flashbacks unless they get more fun. The split tribals seem to work well and shake up the game nicely. Owen voted for who? We consult Survivor wiki to try and u...

We're back (and we're sorry for the absence)! Dave and Marc recap the last two episodes of Survivor 43. Some highlights: Ryan may have watched Survivor before but he's not very good at it. We think both Geo and Elie might play again if season 45 is a Second Chances season. A broken clock and Gabler are both right twice a day. Was Elie's exit unfair? What should she have done differently? And much,...

We final got our supersized episode!

Some highlights from this episode...

A rock solid premiere with the perfect combination of good players and completely unhatched players. We tried to figure out Gabler's moves and unpack everything else from this supersized premiere episode.   Some highlights: Jeff doesn't know what Survivor is, or wants the viewers to know? Cody is LIVIN and actually did hack the challenge. One player exceeded everyone's expectations and another pla...
