  • Survivor S47 Ep 5 & 6 Recap -- 'Can We Swap Out?'...'No.'

    We made it to the merge (kinda), baby!! In a double feature, we're recapping episodes 5 AND 6 in one magical podcast. Survivor Season 47 is entering its second phase, but before we're officially merged, we have a lot to review.

    Some slight changes to the New Era Mergatory, some crappy (in our opinion) but effective rewards at the Sanctuary, and a whole lotta sass from Mr. Probst - what's not to love, honestly?

    If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a breakdown:

    • Intro & Initial Thoughts (0:00-7:23)
    • Episode 5 Recap (7:23 - 30:14)
    • Episode 6 Recap (30:14 - 49:14)
    • Segments (49:14-end)

    • Survivor S47 Ep 3&4 Recap - Egg Laying Hens

      Welcome back, Escaping Reality Fam, we missed you last week! In this episode we combined our recaps for eps 3 and 4, because let's be honest one was boring and the other made up for it. We're talking tribe tensions, the puzzle that never was, and egg laying hens. Not non-egg-laying hens, only the egg-laying ones. And of course we vibe check Jeff, who was really on level 10 in these episodes.

    • Survivor S47 E2 - Jeff Was Wrong for That

      Welcome back, Escaping Reality fam! We're recapping Survivor S47 Episode 2 and it's surprisingly straightforward this week... We spend a lot of the episode at each tribe's camp, so we're mostly talking about what went down at each tribe's camp! shocking, I know.

      Between budding alliance foundations, searching for idols and beware advantages, and ample set up for this week's vote-out, we cover a lot of ground in the first half of the episode. Throw in an amazing challenge and a particularly memorable exchange with Jeff and Rachel, and we're pretty satisfied with how this season seems to be progressing so far. Plus, a classic Vibe checking of Jeff & picking our Castaways of the Week!

      If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a breakdown:

      • Intro & Initial Thoughts (0:00-5:00)
      • Episode Recap (5:00 - 43:34)
      • Jeff Needs a Vibe Check (43:34 - 46:28)
      • Castaway of the Week (46:28 - 49:26)
      • Rapid Fire & Outro (49:26 - end)

          Survivor is back, baby!!! and so is Escaping Reality <3

          We're taking a pre-season opportunity to assess the new cast-aways (on a very surface level & based on very limited info) and draft each of our teams before season 47 begins this week!

          PLUS, Stacey spills some tea after "attending" the Nashville Survivor pop-up event. We're catching up and getting the full story from Stacey until minute 13:15. Then we get into our first impressions of the S47 cast and our justifications for our draft choices.

          As always, we're so excited for a new season of Survivor, to talk about it together, and to have you watch along with us! We love chatting to our pals throughout the season, so...

We're talking Ben's voting "mistake", Kenzie's edit throughout the game, the potential downfall of Charlie and Maria's alliance, and Liz...being Liz. And of course the dreaded Q vote out and the fact that idols are a curse this season.

            Plus our usual vibes checks for Jeff (peep our episode title for vibe check #1), castaways of the week, and our predictions for the finale.

            Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We're back with the latest recap of Season 46 of Survivor: Episode 11. We're inching our way to the finale & we have plenty to discuss this week. The episode was filled with tension, strategy, and, in the words of Q: 'big mistakes.'

            We're breaking down Maria's threat level & her questionable decision making skills. Q's continued hilarity & Liz's continued annoyance with Q's shenanigans. And Charlie's expert game playing & potential path to the end.

            Plus! of course we're vibe checking Jeff for all his behavior + crowning a castaway of the week.

              We're back with our recap of Survivor 46 Episode 9! We're talking idol usage (or lack thereof), the ongoing battle for a "move", and whether or not we would ever throw a challenge to get out a challenge beast. Plus we share our feelings on all this "spicy Jeff" talk. After vibe checking the man for over 3 years, we feel pretty equipped to have this convo.


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