Some highlights:

  • Is Karishma getting a winner's edit (seriously)?
  • What do we do with Dan.
  • Ponderosa is not what we thought it might be.
  • We still don't know why Jack is on the jury.
  • and much, much more!

No, we are not boycotting this season. Yes, we have lots to say!

This show is largely a reflection on society, for better or worse. We recap three hours of Survivor, which include many painful moments but some small moments of triumph (thank you, Janet).

Some highlights:

- Why is Jack on the jury?

- How does this measure up to seasons of the show that aired in the early 2000s?

- What the hell were Elizabeth and Missy thinking?

- Not getting the pitchforks out: humans make mistakes. Aaron's apology video was legit.

- Looking ahead, there's a lot of Survivor left and some great players still in there. We make bold predictions on who the winner might be.

Survivor Top Ten returns with two back-to-back recaps. Make sure to download episode five too!

 

This super-sized episode four recaps features second-time special guest host Taylor, who is much better at articulating thoughts than the rest of us combined. 

 

Some highlights:

  • It only takes Taylor 45 minutes to fully take Josh's side and once again leave Dave arguing for himself.
  • What was Noura thinking??
  • Is the Dean/Chelsea relationship debacle rooted in heteronormative perceptions? Why can't two women be a strong pair?
  • If you took Rob and Sandra's deal, how would you execute it?
  • Why Chelsea? Are the players overthinking everything?
  • And much, much more!

Another week, another (unnecessary?) blindside. Vince is gone and we mourn the loss of another potentially great character. But there's still much to be excited about! 

 

Not unlike the first seven seconds of each episode these days, we have some highlights:

  • What's better? Jack's defensive approach post-blindside, or Jamal's offensive approach?
  • Josh makes his winner's pick for the season! Marc has mostly weird bold predictions.
  • Where did Janet get those goggles? Why didn't she use them before?
  • Is Dean gonna get the dumb-dumb edit?
  • Was Karishma being over-dramatic? Is it bad that Marc and Dave laughed during that segment (probably)?
  • Will we get a tribe swap? Will it be three tribes? Will there be no swap at all?
  • and much, much more!

This week, we dove into the motives behind breaking up the popular crew, even if the popular crew is willing to join in group yoga. 

We also talked about:

  • What's the appropriate amount of emotion to feel after your alliance was blindsided and someone got voted out? Did Aaron get too angry?
  • What Kellee did or didn't understand was happening when she landed on the Island of the Idols.
  • Josh still knows all of Sandra's fun facts, but he might be color blind.
  • WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE GIANT HEADS AND THEIR OWNERS WHEN THEY GET BACK TO CAMP??
  • Is Dean related to Chelsea from Ghost Island?
  • Some bold predictions, including a winner pick and the first person to get voted off post-merge (will they be date-able?)
  • And much, much more!

Marc has the week off so Dave and Josh climbed into a tiny treehouse and judged him and the Survivors from above.

We had a ton to discuss for the 90 minute premiere of Survivor: Island of the Idols. A season we really like so far!

Some highlights:

  • We were very wrong about Janet
  • Elizabeth was wrong about everything, but very lucky
  • Will Boston Rob and Sandra win every challenge on the island?
  • The most unlikely alliance of all time
  • A farewell to the worst poker player ever to play Survivor

We're not extinct! And we just did our pre-game draft while assessing all 18 players on this season, including the four returnees.

 

Some highlights:

 

  • We all agree on which returnee has the best shot to win
  • ... And it's not Joe.
  • We hate Joe.
  • We don't talk about Joe.
  • Marc only chooses contestants he would have a beer with.
  • Will an outwardly religious person ever win in modern day Survivor?
  • and much more!
  • Also, Joe sucks.
