In this fun sized Digging for Idols mini, it's all treat/no trick as we devour the candy bucket of delights that is Jerri Manthey's award-winning performance in the 2005 short film, "Widowmaker."

DFI is dropping dead this week to check out a performance by Julie McGee (Survivor: San Juan del Sur) as a member of the Breaker Girls dance team caught in the crossfire of a high profile lawsuit in season 6, episode 5 of "Drop Dead Diva." Join Team Julie with us! Plus, ratings stats for our first year.

Our Baywatch Summer comes to a close with this episode... that's not about Baywatch but rather Season 3, Episode 1 of the Baywatch parody Son of the Beach that features four(!) different cameos by castaways from Survivor: Borneo.

DFI turns one year old! As our Baywatch summer nears a close, we gaze upon the sunset of peak lifeguard TV to review Joel Klug from Survivor: Borneo and his race against Jason Momoa in in the S11E20 episode of Baywatch, "Dead Reckoning."

DFI sneaks back to the Brian Heidik well to talk Baywatch strategy and cover a second of his acting appearances. Will we be too hot to resist dumping on his performance in S2E2 of Baywatch Nights or will Mr. Freeze cool our wrath with a chilling performance? (Suggested prior DFI listening: "Brian of Sherwood Forest")

When we go Lowe, our listens go high (hopefully). As we wade into the first in a series of Baywatch-related episodes, DFI chats about two-time Survivor Brenda Lowe and her brief appearance as a surfer in the 2017 Olympics-related feature film adaptation.

In (arguably) the most sexually charged episode of DFI yet, Christopher and Taylor fanboy, fangirl, and fan themselves while discussing sizzling brainiac Peih-Gee Law (Survivor: China & Cambodia) and her appearance as a partygoer in the music video for Janet Jackson's equally steamy song "Go Deep."

We've spoken on DFI before about which celebs we'd like to see on a season full of famous faces, but what about the Lisa Whelchel archetype? In this mini, Taylor and Christopher each throw out a short list of (arguably) less household-name level celebrities that we think could or should be dropped undercover into a season alongside folks with more traditional careers.

From the darkest bowels of Tubi, this week we watched "Dennis & Henry's Post-Divorce Checklist" (2022) to answer the age-old question: can Survivor legend Rupert Boneham redeem one of the worst movies we have ever seen in our lives? Plus: enter the nexus of the DFI universe (the 2004 Teen Choice Awards).

Daniel Lue joins Digging for Idols to talk about his experiences breaking into reality tv, wearing a speedo for Pee-wee, smelling his tribemates in the Amazon, contracting malaria, and his reaction to discovering that a podcast devoted a whole episode to  his 2018 performance in the show Lucifer. Lue crew, assemble!
