Against all odds, we are back recapping a brand new season of Survivor! We're giving our immediate reactions to this new cast including some potential stars like Thomas, Mary and Sai. We're breaking down the challenges and giving props to a much needed evolution of Sweat vs Savvy. Plus, we're talking about the convoluted Beware Advantages and talking about how Sai approached hers. We're also touching down on the dynamics of each tribe and assessing the alliances we saw form on Day 1.

This week, Sean is joined by Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels icon (and noted Buffie) Caroline Courtis to break down all of the chaos of Week 2 of Brains V Brawn! We're touching down on Caroline's experience before, during and after her season, comparing it to the American version of the show and diving into the current season. We're talking about the challenges (Mud! Sumo at Sea!), sausage sizzles, the disbanding of the Coven, the downfall of Nash, the flameout of Ally. We're also analyzing the Safety Without Power advantage and how it all went so horribly wrong.

We're back for our second day at The White Lotus in Thailand to break down everything that happened in Episode 2 of Season 3. We're analyzing the Survivor-esque dynamics emerging amongst the three old friends, Jaclyn, Kate and Laurie, keeping up with the Ratliffs, Lochlan's exploration of his alliances with his siblings, the layers and lore of Victoria and the mystery surrounding Rick.

We're also laying out our theories about the robbery, including our suspicions around Valentin, Greg/Gary and the hotel staff. Plus, we're talking about the lack of a Tanya type of main character, the surprise voice cameo, what could be in store for Mook and the legend of Sritala!

Sean and Ricard are back recapping Australian Survivor: Brains V Brawn II. We’re diving into Nash's aggressive gameplay after he finds an idol early, talking about Noonan as a standout character and breaking down the head-scratching chaos of Kent.

We are also digging into the Mother convention that is The Coven, Laura the Good Witch's position on the Brains tribe and Indy's iconography.

And we’re also playing our first round of Star or Starless for the season!

We are SO back and we are SO checking in to the White Lotus for season 3 in Thailand. We're breaking down the new and returning cast members and diving into the evolving plotlines for their characters. We're speculating about what might be in store for Belinda and her son, Zion. Plus, we're talking about the surprise reveal of noted LBH, Greg. We’re diving into the potential mess of the Ratliff family, the painfully real dynamics between the trio of ladies on their victory lap vacation and Chelsea's unspoken agreements with her boyfriend Rick. Plus, we're touching down on the new theme song, this season's Survivor cameos and Mike White's expertise when it comes to male nudity.
