Blindsided

It's tomorrow! Pete, Brian and Jim tackle the final episode of Survivor: Pearl Islands and send some parting shots across the bow at Osten and Skinny Ryan. Does this season mark the end of old-school Survivor and do those labels mean anything at all? Skip to 1:36:08 for the answer.

NOTE: This is the second version of this episode. There have been persistent issues with the audio once it's been uploaded and it seems easier to delete the buggy ep and upload a new one instead of updating the initial buggy one. If your downloaded ep still has audio issues please let one of us know.

After a brief summer vacation, the crew returns to the grueling labor of podding about Survivor: Pearl Islands.  Episode 3 and a note from the producer to follow tomorrow.

-- EPISODE AUDIO HAS BEEN FIXED. Big time screw-up from Producer Jim but should be good to go now -- Today we welcome Traitor Brian, a lifelong fan of the show and a legitimate challenge to Host Pete as the resident Survivor expert, to talk about Pearl Islands.  It's probably the best season of Survivor so no real introduction needed.

Two months later and we've finally wrapped up the ripper of a season that is Survivor: The Amazon. Is Rob a goat?  Is Mateo a sheep?  And what type of animal does that make Jenna?  We've been very lucky to get Liv's time to record these so please be sure to congratulate her on her a performance whenever and wherever you see her.

In a longer-awaited part two, Survivor Pete, Guest Host Liv, and Producer Jim go over the meat & potatoes of Survivor: Amazon (episodes 7-13).

Long-awaited Guest Host Liv joins Survivor Pete and Producer Jim as they rewind the clock back to 2003 to watch season 6 of Survivor: The Amazon. No further introduction is needed -- give it a listen. 

We're getting to back to basics here now that we're closing the season out.  Would Jan have won if Brian took her to the end? Is Helen a manic pixie dream girl? Why does Survivor Pete insist on using "agreeance" when normal people just say "agreement?" Please tune in to Twitch Tony's final episode for now, as we manage to plumb all the life the final few episodes of this season have to offer in a very economical 58 minutes (subscribe to our OnlyFans to hear Producer Jim's uncut thoughts on Heidik shooting a puppy).

The desire to find something real -- to connect with something or someone -- is what drives Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young American backpacker who arrives in Thailand with adventure on his mind. Etienne (Guillaume Canet) and Francoise (Virginie Ledoyen) join him on an adventure to "The Beach," a mystical paradise. However, this paradise is less than perfect.

Survivor Pete, Twitch Tony and Producer Jim close out Survivor: Marquesas with high praise for the ignoble winner and qualified admiration for the season as a whole.  Where should Vecepia rank in Survivor lore?  And is her win an outlier in the middling seasons of early Survivor or does she deserve credit for turning the show into the rotating cast of game bots it's become today?
