Escaping Reality

Zac Brown. That's it. That's the description. This week we talk about the Zac Brown of it all, and we have strongggg thoughts. Oh, and we also recap the rest of the ep, what little there is.

And of course we have our vibe checks for Jeff, Castaways of the Week, and Rapid Fire.

*Technically* this episode is a recap of Survivor Season 50, Episode 3. But, in reality, it's a lot of us whacking Jeff multiple times for the rap that he felt was necessary to include in the episode. I guess we also talk about the tribe swap, the camp dynamics, and the loss of Q (an icon). We are having a time discussing this one. Just a silly, whimsy time with the girls (we're trying to balance out the new loyalty and integrity nonsense), enjoy!!

Was this the best episode of Survivor ever??! MAYBE. Was it the best episode in recent memory? Almost Certainly.

Survivor Season 50 Episode 2 had a little bit of everything we could ever want... Laugh out loud moments, endearing castaway spotlights, some good old-fashioned Cirie strategizing, and a vote that made this podcast finally feel validated.

We're talking through every moment, as usual. Plus, we're asking the hard hitting questions like: 'what does Jeff mean by that?' and 'Where the heck is Tiffany??'

We did it. We finished Survivor Season 49. It was no easy task, but together we laughed, cried (not really), and realized once again that, sometimes, talking about Survivor with your friends really is the best part of watching Survivor.

We're recapping the final episode (episode 13) and managing to find at least THREE things we enjoyed! While we may have a lot of negative comments, as always, it comes from our pure love of this show and the people who play on it. But.... we still have high expectations, Jeff. We'll be keeping a close eye on you in the seasons to come...

Welcome back to Escaping Reality! We are one episode away from the S49 finale, and honestly it can't get here soon enough (derogatory).

Join us as we discuss Rizzo milking his idol for allll it's worth, the audience being blindsided, and what we are looking forward to in the finale (spoiler alert, not a ton).

Plus we have our usual vibe checks for Jeff, Castaways of the Week, and Rapid Fires.

We're soooooo close to this season being over and, honestly, we're getting ready to wrap it up and move on. This week, Anna & Agie weave an episode recap in and out of tangents about the state of Survivor, the state of Media, and our states of mind.

We have some questions... we have a few compliments for this episode...and we have some serious laughs as we try to make sense of it all.

.....SIGH..... we're having a hard time this season. After 49 seasons of Survivor, we may have finally hit our breaking point. So, once again, we're recapping an episode littered with suggestions for how to improve upon the new era. From strategy critiques to general behavioral advice, we have a lot to say despite having some pretty negative feelings about this episode overall.

But! in true Escaping Reality fashion, we still managed to yap for an hour about 1 episode of television. It is still technically Survivor after all. Even if it doesn't totally look and sound and feel the way we want it to.

Well, we're just 4 episodes from the end of the season, and we're struggling to figure out what the end game is. We discuss the intricacies (or lack thereof) of the camp dynamics as we try to unravel what happened in this episode.
