Pop some champagne, it's our 250th episode!

With the latest vote-off, we begin to wonder if this season needed more villains or even ... recruits? 

Some highlights:

• Can Karla take Cassidy to the end? Can Cassidy take Karla?
• Is Owen really getting a winner's edit?
• Who would Gabler beat in the end?
• Was the result of the immunity challenge fair?

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 blindside?

"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 understand who Owen actually voted for in the previous episode.
• Finally, drama!
• and much, much more.

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.

Season 43 keeps trucking along with a redux of last week's episode: virtually everything happened again.

Some highlights from this déjà-vu-like episode:

• Karla's bead trading really emphasized her longterm status in the game.
• Josh thinks another mostly unseen player has a big shot at going far.
• Gabler continues to make no sense.
• and much more!

We final got our supersized episode! After years of podcasting way too much about Survivor and complaining about losing part of the narrative, CBS seems to have slightly caved to our demands. 

Josh and Dave recap episode two of season 43, with the small glimmer of hope that Paramount+ will start posting extended episodes of the greatest reality show on television.

Some highlights from this episode:

• Owen is actually playing quite well, we decide. It's another player's winner's edit that's getting in the way.
• Sami is very young but maybe very good?
• Nneka's social game is top tier yet we never hear from her.
• Gabler's Hawaiian sling - is it going to pay off?
• and much, much more!

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 player kind of let us down.
• We make our first bold predictions of the season.
• and much, much more!

• Jonathan, son of Odin, is a nice guy.
• The confessional count across the board this season is surprisingly even.
• Is Tori actually a good Survivor player?
• and much, much more!

Yet another great episode of season 42 is in the books and we're back to recap what's panning out to be one of the best casts, even if their strategy isn't always outstanding.

• Daniel's gameplay
• and much, much more!
