A recap and strategy analysis of everyone's favorite reality show Survivor!

    Living the Survivor Dream

    Living the Survivor Dream

    It's finale recap time: spoilers ahead! Queen stays Queen as we celebrate Dee's victory in what is arguably the most dominant performance of a winner from the new era. We try our best to break down Katurah's cold feet at final 5, Jake's emotional arc, and the power of having two #1s this deep in the game! Plus, an announcement about the future of the podcast. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all our listeners!

    The Ex-Girlfriend at the Wedding

    The Ex-Girlfriend at the Wedding

    It's the penultimate episode of Season 45 and much like the budding romance between Dee and Austin, things are HEATING UP! Can Jake turn things around now that he's found an idol and talks in the third person? Why did Katurah tell Dee the plan to vote Drew? And will anyone be able to target the Queen Dee before she gets to the final three? All this and more on this week's podcast!

    This Game Rips Your Heart Out

    This Game Rips Your Heart Out

    We finally did it: a podcast episode longer than the air time of the actual episode! There is so much to unpack this week with one of the most open and honest games we've ever seen played by a final 7. The big moves to examine are Drew's attempt to take out a fellow Reba, Austin's decision to tell Dee and ultimately not play his idol, and why oh why were there no rogue votes from Emily and Drew at tribal council?!

    How Am I The Mobster?

    How Am I The Mobster?

    One of the more emotional episodes of Survivor we've seen from the new era, but your hosts do not waver! Join Ethan and Charlie as they look at Emily's two big moves of the episode: the reward challenge brings and the Bruce "blindside." Plus, should Bruce have played his idol? Shot his shot? Can you even do both? And more!

    Sword of Damocles

    Sword of Damocles

    Our bellies are full of poultry this week, much like Julie, Bruce, and Kendra, but the pod must go on! It's a bit of a calm before a potential storm as we examine the 3x3x3 split for Immunity, Jeff stealing too many votes, Dee and Drew needing to stay hungry, the leveling-war once Bruce is vulnerable, and will someone crack the Reba 4!

    Following a Dead Horse to Water

    Following a Dead Horse to Water

    WOAH! Sorry, I mean woah, The Survivor Auction returns!!! Did they effectively fix this broken part of the game? Is there are anything redeemable about Bruce? What paths are left for the remaining Belo players now that Emily and the Rebas have taken control of the game? And what paths are left for Charlie to not be shut out 4-0 in our fantasy draft? All this and more on this week's episode!

Fun thoughtful analysis

I love listening to this show with my Dad! We watch Survivor together all the time and listening to you guys in the car is really fun. I always laugh at the jokes you make and think your analysis is always super accurate. Please don’t stop recording! We love listening to you 😊

Total creative freedom

This show is the essence of total creative freedom between two great friends with incredible on-pod chemistry (which is, unfortunately, completely platonic) about one of the best shows on television. The actual meat of the discussions is almost all strategy, which sets it apart from other survivor podcasts in a way I personally appreciate. Most importantly though, this is a genuine podcast. There’s no front, no bland corporate professionalism. They are just having a great time talking with each other about survivor, and I’m so happy to be part of that. Watch the show, listen to the pod, and you’ll have a great time regardless of the quality of the particular Survivor episode or season they cover.

Come on in, five-star rating!

I’m a regular listener of Ethan’s Lords of Limited podcast and crossed over after he shared that he’d be making a pod about my second favorite game. This is a great recap series with tie-ins to Magic, poker, game theory, acting and so much more. Thanks to both of you for putting this together!

My prospective father rating is probably at three or four stars, by the way, if only because Ethan likes to draft Rakdos and that’s just a recipe for chaos.
