Welcome back Escaping Reality fam! After a long, cold winter, the Fijian sun is upon us yet again and we couldn't be happier! We reunited to give our completely uneducated and not-at-all-scientific takes on the new cast and do our beloved draft.

Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We're so happy to welcome Lauren Harpe to the podcast for this extra special episode!

We had our first interactions with Lauren when Survivor Season 44 was about to air & we found out she had been listening to our podcast (!!!) in preparation for the game. We were instant fans from that moment on. And our admiration only grew as we watched her play through season 44, until finally we had the pleasure of meeting Lauren at the finale watch party that season (shout out Brice & Wen Present !)

Lauren is lovely and wonderful, and we were so excited to sit down with her and talk all things Reality TV: inside scoop on Survivor season 44, our hopes & dreams for season 50 and beyond, and the current season (3) of The Traitors! Lauren brought her expert insight on topics like the New Era, idol hunting, what doesn't make the edit, & the importance of building relationships inside and outside of the game.

Thank you again to Lauren Harpe for joining this episode & Escaping Reality with us for a little while :)

You can find her on Instagram @thelaurenharpe

Anna, Agie, and Stacey are here to break down everything Part 2 of the finale. It's a big episode, but maybe not as big as normal. And, we're beyond ecstatic to celebrate our girl Rachel for an entire episode. Join us on a journey to discuss the final immunity challenge, the fire making challenge, and Final Tribal Council for Season 47. See you in 2025, babes!

Alright escaping Reality Fam, we've made it to the Season 47 Finale. Well, sort of. Listen in for our thoughts on a two part finale, our high praise for Rachel, and our debate about who else has a chance for the gold. Plus our usual vibe checks for Jeff, Castaway of the week selections (spoiler alert: there's only one correct answer), and our rapid fire. We can't wait to see how this season ends!

It's almost the Survivor 47 Finale! It's almost the Survivor Finale!

Things are really kicking into high gear this week with Operation Italy!! Probably one of the most exciting plans of the Survivor New Era, so we've got lots to talk through. Who is making game-shifting moves & who is still playing naively? We're sharing all our feelings on who has a chance in this game as we enter the final stage (the 2 part finale?!)

What's up, Escaping Reality Fam! This week we recorded on Black Friday, and we ditched our blood families to show our gratitude for our other fam--all of you! This week we chatted who are the threats of the season, who thinks they are a threat incorrectly, and who simply doesn't seem to be playing survivor. Plus all of our usual segments are here. Finally we settled the age old debate: hugging Jeff Probst after your torch is snuffed, yay or nay?

We're in the "muddy middle" of Season 47, and the girlies are here to discuss all the high, lows, and wandering roads of this episode. We make some guesses about who might be making it to the end and how we're going to get there on the way. Hop on board for a fun ride with Agie, Anna, and Stacey!

Welcome back, Escaping Reality fam! Were delivering

a double episode recap of 8 AND 9! And honestly it balances out perfectly because episode 8 was concise and episode 9 was chaotic.

Were breaking down all the craziness and making some sense of the mess for your listening pleasure

After everything we said last week, we're starting to worry we spoke too soon. Come with Agie, Anna, and Stacey on a journey to unpack this explosive episode of Survivor. We're so sad to say goodbye to Tiyana, but wow what a way to go out! We're unpacking the "new" twist and Sol's advantage on the path to understanding this episode. Let's do this!
