The Winner's Edit: A Survivor Story and Editing Podcast

This week we chronicle the downfall of a legend, but a queen rises from her cold-depths. This was a super fun, unique episode that we think is a great way to edit a "predictable" boot. Let us know what you think!

On this episode of the Winner’s Edit: David vs. Goliath, we talk about where things stand following one player’s quit and an exciting tribe swap. Our discussion includes the story’s focus on women, nerds, and Slamtown, the collection of oddball edits that make up the Tiva tribe, and Natalie Cole’s reflective properties. In the end, we look at the likely winner edits, with one contestant pulling ah...

After a brief hiatus, WE'RE BACK! Dan was out last week filming sequester so we have 2 episodes worth of content to analyze. Huge week for our contenders, and this season is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memories! :)

On this week’s episode of The Winner’s Edit, we discuss the superb premiere of Survivor: David vs. Goliath. We begin with our general impressions of the episode and what stories opened up in these first sixty minutes. We also discuss what it means for the least visible contestants in a fairly balanced episode, how to think about David-heavy editing, the focus on personal stories and their portraya...

We're back! We go through the castaways and predict what their story might look like, and whether we think they have a chance to win. Thanks for listening, and apologies for some minor audio issues.

The Story Of The Season - Episode 14 by The Winner's Edit

On Episode 13 of the Winner’s Edit, we take one final look at the two-horse four-goat race that’s unfolded throughout Survivor: Ghost Island. In addition to talking about who’s going to win, we speculate on where everyone else is going to end up and discuss the feel and mentality of the season’s editing as a whole. We make some predictable Laurel jokes, field a question about Edgic in Internationa...

We made a vow to Aunt Patty that we would release another episode, so here we are. This week was...not great! But we finally have a clear picture of the storylines of this season. This episode doesn't do as much looking forward as looking back. The mystery of why Chelsea was so invisible is uncovered, perhaps!

Welcome to this week's The Winner's Edit - This episode provided lots of clarity, and confusion to how this season plays out. This episode revitalized the chances of a few people and we attempt to figure out what that means.

Most of the time on the Winner’s Edit, we talk about what content sends someones chances down the drain. But in Episode 10, it’s someone’s lack of content that has us talking. In this episode we discuss the ramifications of Wendell’s super-quiet UTR1 episode. We also continue on our quest to slot in all the non-winners, which is aided by the revelation of next week’s twist. Thanks for listening! S...

On Episode 9 of The Winner’s Edit, we bask in the fairly quiet aftermath of the war between Domenick and Chris. It seems like there’s still a handful of potentially-winning edits, but they’re all riddled with flaws of some sort. More than that, we try even harder than before to slot some definite “deadits” into their finishing place. But on a season like this, where there’s one core group of four...

Episode #08 - Ghost Island Discussion and Analysis - The Merge by The Winner's Edit

You could say things were in a bit of a holding pattern on this episode of Survivor: Ghost Island, but on Episode 7 of the Winner’s Edit, we’re excited to have our friend Matt as a guest host as we chat about complex tribe theory. With the pre-merge stage of the game winding down, we take a look at the assorted tribe configurations and consider which tribes spun threads for the future and which on...

It’s a chance at FRESH NEW LIFE on Episode 6 of The Winner’s Edit, as we talk about an exciting new swap in Survivor: Ghost Island. We start with coverage of the stories that have found their way into the first six episodes and ponder if they’re the themes that will define this season. As always, we consider each castaway’s edit individually; for us, it’s become something of a two-horse race, and...

It’s a day of mourning for The Winner’s Edit, as we discuss Stephanie’s departure, the prevalence of the pre-merge “shock boot” edit, and what this boot means for the stories of the season. We also discuss each remaining castaway’s edit and what it means for their staying power in the season, winning or not. As always, our discussion is peppered with the villainy of one Bradley Kleihege, the frown...

Here in Episode 4 of The Winner's Edit, we see some storylines rise to the surface as other characters work in the background. We talk about what Donathan and Laurel's potential flip means for all of Naviti, and where the Malolo 4 (now 3) stand with Brendan's departure. As always we share winner contenders, consider upcoming boots, and tip our hats to the invisible ones who have no chance (and Bra...

Here in Episode 3 of both this Survivor: Ghost Island and The Winner's Edit, a tribe swap mixes things up, and we see new characters flourish as others continue to be invisible. In this episode, we talk about how our favorite edits from the premiere have grown better or taken a nosedive, what new contenders are emerging, and what Morgan's #blindside means for the direction of the season. We wrap i...

Here in Episode 2, we begin to see how our pre-season predictions are panning out as we cover the two-hour premiere of Ghost Island. Along the way we talk about who’s exceeding expectations, what first and second boots Gonzalez and Jacob mean for the rest of the season, how next episode’s swap changes our lens on this episode, and we talk about Angela, Bradley, Chelsea, and Libby longer than all f...
