The Gatekeepers close out 2025 with a brand-new annual tradition: The Best & Worst of the Year — with a twist.
Johnathon, Ashley, Coryon, Trish, and Zen break down which Beyond the Gates characters delivered, which ones disappointed, and who they believe is poised to dominate in 2026.

The panel debuts a chaotic (and hilarious) Beyond the Gates Fantasy Draft, selecting six characters each and making bold predictions about future storylines, breakout performances, and potential flops. From safe bets like Dani Dupree and Martin Richardson to dark horse picks and risky gambles, alliances are tested, strategies are questioned, and plenty of shade is thrown.

This episode sets the stage for a year-long competition — and ensures there will be receipts when 2026 unfolds.

Also we give our predictions for 2026, and wrap up rating the first year of Beyond the Gates in an episode of the podcast you won't want to miss.
