The Traitors is BACK for a third season! We're breaking down the premiere, talking about the standout cast, including Housewives supernova Dorinda Medley and the infamously sleepy Robyn Dixon. We're also talking Boston Rob’s unexpected debut as a fourth traitor, Carolyn Wigler's impact on the show, and speculating on the identity of the two new mystery faithfuls. We also discuss how the new rules could shape the season and compare this iteration to past versions, including the UK show.

In the Drop Your Buffs Survivor 47 finale recap, Sean and Evan celebrated Rachel's win while critiquing the predictable format, the fire-making challenge, and Sue’s underwhelming age reveal. They lamented the absence of early boots like John Lovett from the finale and called for changes in casting and editing to revive Survivor's character-driven magic. The duo praised Rachel's gameplay but highlighted how modern Survivor's strategy-heavy edit leaves winners less memorable. Speculation on Jeff Probst's scent (Caesar salad?) and a call for the wind-and-fire emoji in honor of Teeny’s fire-making struggle kept the recap lively.
