It's the 11th season of Survivor and we're also confused about what happened. The team is feeling some sort of way about how long you keep returning players, Danni's "strategy," and the problematic nature of eating sacramental chicken. 

In this episode we dive into the concept of "sportsmanship" vs. "being good at sports,"  the "socializing" game, and why Brian should play again (preferably in an alliance with Rob C). Plus, rapid fire questions pit Nick vs. the rest of the team!

This season was an interesting one with a very secretive winner and we could hear all your thoughts on Danni and her strategy all day - follow Escaping Reality for more content & to chat with us about your thoughts on each season we cover @EscapingRealityPod on Instagram & @EscRealityPod on twitter.

It's been the most fun binge-watching and discussing the first 10 seasons of Survivor on the podcast, so we're switching it up for a special BONUS episode  to have a little extra banter about some of our favorite elements of these 10 seasons. 

What better way to capture the pure nostalgia of early 2000s television than revisiting another game from our childhood: MASH! Remember the children's category game you would play to predict your future? Well, we're playing it, but with a Survivor twist.

It's the 10th season of Survivor and we have a lot of strong feelings about it. The team is polarized on their opinions of Survivor: Palau, so we're taking you through each of our thoughts on this season's castaways, theming, and overall impression on the franchise. 

In this episode we dive into the concept of 'being deserving,' playing the 'social game' vs being 'sociable,' toxic masculinity, and adults who bully each other. Plus, our honorable mention & rapid fire questions!

This season is iconic and we could keep talking about it for much longer - follow Escaping Reality for more content & to chat with us about your thoughts on each season we cover @EscapingRealityPod on Instagram & @EscRealityPod on twitter.

We've made a promise to watch every season of Survivor, and, inevitably, they can't all be good. Sometimes the season is even worse than the reality we're escaping. We're talking Season 9: Vanuatu this episode and we had a surprisingly fun time doing it. 

In this episode we're talking disability representation, defining our ideas of 'riding coattails,' and sharing our picks for least-memorable castaway. Plus, it's men vs women again...but worse! We're making the most of it; listen and let us know if you agree.

It's time to talk about Season 4 of Survivor, and we're all a bit luke-warm about the whole thing. It's not our favorite season, but we sure did have a lot to discuss. In this episode we're talking: baby Boston Rob, implicit bias, and lame challenges; taking a deep dive into alliance categories & the reasons why we would each go on Survivor.
