Escaping Reality

From a rice "negotiation" to Hunter being super hot, and everything in between, we've got a great recap episode for you. Season 46 is hitting its stride in this episode and we're here to tell you all our thoughts. It was a fun one, so buckle up, Q's taking us on a ride today.

We made it to episode SEVERAL of Season 46 of Survivor & Team Anna just stays winning. Between the castaways left this season & the continual Jelinsky name drops, Anna keeps prevailing. In a double-elimination week that saw 2 members of Team Stacey go home... we have a lot to talk about.

Agie & Anna are recapping episode 7 and all the (very confusing) strategy that went on. We're praising the challenge banter, lamenting how we miss Outback Steakhouse, and criticizing these players once again for claiming to be Survivor Fans while forgetting their most basic Survivor history. We're talking through Ben's emotional arc, Maria's mom moments, and a whole lot about what the heck Venus is doing.

We did it, fam. We made it to the merge... kinda... as much as one can 'make it to the merge' in New Era Survivor. We're taking this opportunity to reassess our thoughts on this cast, double down on the alliances we believe in, and wonder a lot about the editing choices.

Despite the fact that we're a liiiitttle bit bored and we've certainly had enough of Jeff and his shenanigans, we're obviously still loving dissecting and discussing this season. And we're finding PLENTY to laugh about. So we hope you're still listening and laughing with us!

We've got a little dual episode wrap up for you today! We gotta talk about Episodes 3 and 4 of Season 46, an ode to Bhanu (with a side of a med evac). There's a lot to get into and we tried to cover it all. Are we excited to get into the rest of the season?

Two episodes in one!! Your favorite podcast gals are pulling double duty in this episode - covering both Episode 2 of Survivor Season 46 AND our final thoughts on Season 2 of The Traitors (now that it's come to an end). And TBH both really only warranted half an episode in our opinions. We've got some serious pacing issues, some questionable editing choices, and some WTF moments. But there was also plenty that, in the end, endeared us even more to 2 of our favorite shows.

If you're just looking to listen to one of the two...

our Survivor discussion starts at 1:57 and goes until 34:26;

The Traitors picks up at 34:26 through the end of this podcast episode!

Happy listening :)

We're backkkkkk. And so is CBS's favorite showSurvivor. 18 castaways, 1 aggressive speech from Jeff Probst, and 3 500 lb. geckos later, we have a 2 hour episode that has to be seen to be believed. There are so many chaotic and fun things happening in this episode and we have some hot takes to break it down for you. Let's get into it.

Producer's note: We did do a follow up on our preseason draft for the first 8-9 minutes. So, if you want to skip that, check the notes below for timing. Enjoy!

It's that time of the year again...a new season of Survivor and a new season of Agie and Stacey trying to somehow dethrone the 3 season reigning champ Anna. We all took different approaches to how we "prepared" for this episode today, but by the end we were all excited to share our thoughts and get Anna's approval on our picks.

Early on we say "We're trying to do this in an hour, right?" and proceed to talk for an hour and 17 minutes so take that with a grain of salt. Special shout out to Alex from Speaking Llama, A Survivor Podcast for coming to keep us in line and lead us through our draft! Always a pleasure.

We're back with another Traitors Season 2 Recap! This episode we talk how we are sick of some players, the Peter's Pals Alliance, who we wish hadn't been banished early, and how we are all enjoying the challenges more.

We don't Vibe Check Alan Cumming because he is flawless per usual.

Happy New Year (to everyone except Anna), Escaping Reality Fam!

2024 is off to a chaotic start & this episode is no exception.

We've been immensely enjoying the first few episodes of the second US season of The Traitors... but we're taking this episode a little off the beaten path. That is to say: we're winging it.

While there's minimal structure to our conversation, we lead each other to all the major beats of the season so far: which cast members we think understand the game, which minions are absolute nonsense, and which tactics we think will work out best for both the traitors and the faithful.

It's a messy ride, but it's a fun one! Are you watching along with us?!?!

Welcome back to Escaping Reality! We made it through thirteen 90-minute episodes and have reached the end of Survivor 45! It was an action-packed finale, so our recap is obviously packed as well. We share our thoughts on the Katurah/Jake fumble, Jake's series of unfortunate events, the challenge choices, and of course the final tribal! Congrats to Dee on a well-deserved win! And we want to know what you think, was this the best season of the New Era? Plus we vibe check for Jeff for the final time this season, and maybe give him a few props as well.
