Worth Playing For

Yesssssss! Someone we really didn't like FINALLY went home and we are THRILLED. Also, it's generally a great episode of Survivor, after a few less than great episodes that preceeded it. Only two episodes left for Edge of Extinction, and we're not prepared! Help us Jeff Probst, you're our only hope (this episode was edited on May 4th, so obvi a Star Wars reference had to make it in!)   Recap of Sur...

To be honest, this episode was whatever, except for some classic Reem shenanigans. Just a lot of Kama goats mucking things up for the real players. We hope they start dropping soon.   Recap of Survivor season 38, episode 10.

We have another special guest on the episode today! Brian Falduto (singer/songwriter, life coach, and Billy from School of Rock) appears on the show to talk about his love for Aubrey and fear of snakes. Also, two players are voted out! And maybe Wardog isn't as crazy as we thought he was?    Recap of Survivor season 38, episode 9.

Yoooooooo! This episode was lit, y'all! For starters, Tribal council was HALF THE EPISODE. And Jeff Probst has said it was one of the craziest tribals he's ever been a part of. Really, that's all we need to say, it was crazy, we loved it, and Survivor is the best show on television.    Recap of Survivor season 38, episode 8.

This week's episode includes a special guest, friend of the podcast (and many other podcasts), Megan Stags! We talk about how a good portion of this cast is finally starting to wake up and play the game and how we're all ready to see Matt Perry Circa 2006 get knocked off his pedestal. Could the Kama tribe finally be starting to crack? Plus, beautiful shots of Joe, which we can all appreciate. Reca...

Okay, look. This episode details a great episode of Survivor with some true iconic moments. But what I really want to talk about is that our dogs Rosie and Lionel did their damndest to derail this episode wherever they could. So, enjoy that.   Recap of Survivor season 38, episode 6.

What an episode (both of Survivor and our show!). First off, we apologize in advance for the train wreck that is the opening, where we talk about everything but Survivor for awhile, but maybe you'll like that. When we actually get into the show, it's a doozy. Tribe swaps and chicken politics and a tribe that just can't catch a break. Oh and then all the drama on Extinction Island. What are you wai...

This isn't David vs. Goliath... yet... But things are heating up! Someone might throw away their whole game to save the chickens, but also won't go down without a fight, and mass chaos ensues. Get listening! Recap of Survivor Season 38, episode 3.   

Another week, another new episode of Survivor! This week, more drama with Dr. Baby, we see how Mama Reem is doing all by her lonesome (spoiler alert: not great), David and Rick Burgandy are trying to make moves, and over on the Yellow tribe... everything's fine? Plus, Lauren tries to describe how she would use Chris as part of her strategy for winning the game, and he almost has an anxiety attack...

It's a brand new season of Survivor! Season 38 is now underway and WE. ARE. HERE. FOR. IT. Whole new cast (with 4 returning favorites) including the adorable and very young Keith, aka Dr. Baby, who in this premiere episode is trying to learn how to swim properly... in the ocean.... Other shenanigans ensue, like conflict resolution while holding a machete, an Survivor secret advantage menu, the ret...

We're back! We preview the upcoming season of Survivor, Edge of Extinction by going through the released player bios and make predictions for what the season has in store. Also, Kyel has one of the best trivia pulls we've ever witnessed, and we're just grateful we were able to be a part of it.

David vs. Goliath is over, so we're diving back into Survivor's history until season 38 is here in February. This week, we watch the very first episode ever! Listen to hear our thoughts (and for Chris to be grumpy).    

Happy Holidays! This week we got something special. Lauren and Kyel are gonna cradle you with their dulcet tones as they discuss things like their favorite sparkling water and the beverages of their childhood. Chris described the whole thing as delightfully pleasant. Regular WPF coming back next week!   Intro music courtesy of "Wind Chimes, A.wav" by InspectorJ ( www.jshaw.co.uk ) of  Freesound.or...

The season is over! Wow, we're all exhausted but also over the moon at how great David vs. Goliath was. We recorded predictions before we watched and then dealt with all the emotions post finale and reunion. Sweet Survivor boys, soft lips, crying, Angelina spins, and even some Natalie Napalm, aplenty. Plus, we talk about the newly announced next season of Survivor: "Edge of Extinction" and preview...

SPOILER ALERT: !!! !!! !!! Our dearest, sweetest, Survivor boy has fallen, and Lauren is v emotional about it. It's almost like we're in mourning this whole episode. But a lot of great stuff happens too, and there's some wacky ass shit to cover. Plus, we talk about the creators and crew of Survivor's feelings on the season and their fears of having to top this bonkersness. Only one more episode le...

This episode is super late, and that's Chris's fault! Shame him! Like go to his twitter right now and shame him. What a slacker. Anyways, Lauren is back and shenanigans are a plenty. Including one of the worst attempts at trying to blindside a person we've seen. Get listening!   Recap of Survivor season 37, episode 11.

Lauren is absent this week, but that's okay, we have our first guest host! Ultra Survivor fan Rachel Moore joins us for this double episode of Survivor goodness. We got 5 and a half hour immunity challenges, drunk contestants, negotiations between Jeff and Yale alumni, and crying, all the crying. It's a long one, but a good one!   Recap of Survivor season 37, episode 10.

We've got a little bit of a different episode for y'all today. Because of Thanksgiving in the U.S., none of us could watch at the same time, so we all recorded our thoughts separately and then mashed them up here together. But don't worry, we still get into the death of a showmance, more immunity idols, secret advantages, and another crazy ass tribal council. Start listening now!   Recap of Surviv...

You're probably sick of hearing this by now, but damn this season of survivor is good! We recap what is surely the best episode of the season so far. There's new alliances, talk of blindsides, big egos, bigger pitfalls, and one insane tribal that you won't soon forget. This is why we love Survivor.   Recap of Survivor season 37, episode 8.

We're back and so is Lauren! Yaaayyyyy! We got a merge y'all! This episode is chock full of antics like idol chatter, everybody's favorite showmance reunited, self pep talks, clandestine meetings, and both throwdowns and whispers at tribal! And that's just what happened on Survivor! The gang also discusses Lauren's La Croix burps, Chris's love of frozen pizza, Twin Peaks references, and Kyel's lac...

Lauren's sick so it's just Chris and Kyel for this one. They get into what's probably the tamest episode of the season so far, which still means a lot of shit goes down. There's a team that just can't catch a break, a meltdown regarding bamboo beds, and some classic Brochacho love. It all feels like a setup episode for what's sure to be a crazy next week.   Recap of Survivor season 37, episode 6.

It feels like every week our reaction is "What. Is. Happening?" and this week was no different. Full tribal evacuation, an epic 3-way bromance, more immunity idols, a debate over boiled eggs, and Natalie Napalm needs to have the last word. Also... something about a jacket?   Recap of Survivor season 37, episode 5.

Buffs. Were. Dropped. That's right! This episode starts with the first tribe swap of the season and the twists and turns don't stop, ending up with a truly nail-biting Tribal. You don't want to miss this one!

We finally did an episode on time! Y'all, this season is lit. So much drama already, and WE. ARE. HERE. FOR. IT. There's an epic Jeremy v. Natalie showdown, plus Christian is obsessed with Slamtown. And do the Davids finally win a challenge? Listen and find out!

Excuse our lateness! But now that we're here, we have a lot to say about the wettest, shadiest episode of Survivor we've maybe ever seen. Also, we touch on a moment so pure, it may have spread its wings and flown away like a unicorn by the time we post this.
