    • Survivor S45: Episode 11 -- In What World do you NOT Split the Votes?!

      Hey Escaping Reality Fam! It's another Anna & Agie chaotic special this week as we creep closer & closer to the end of this season. In true chaotic fashion... we have a lot of questions about the wild decisions that were made this episode.

      We're talking all about the """SHOWMANCE""" and our disdain for the details of it, Katurah's backstory and how the tone conflicted with the timing, and... of course... the way NO ONE even thought about splitting the votes!! ARE WE OK? not really.

      Plus, Stacey brings perspective even in her absence and Jake is a tree. What else is there to say, really?

    • Survivor S45: Episode 10 -- "I know my heart, but I don't always know my words."

      Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We are getting sooo close to the final conclusion of Season 45! but, for now, we still have a lot of ground to cover. Let's get into it.

      This was a rollercoaster of an episode. We talk about how the tone was a little all over the place, but kind of in the best ways?! We went on emotional journeys (lots... and we mean LOTS... of crying), laughed with da boys, and kept a long long long list of vibe checks for Jeff, who was particularly out-of-pocket this week.

      We work through Jake's frustrations, call out Drew for bullying, support Katurah through all her trials this episode, and praise our girl Emily for continuing to wow us with her progress.

    • Survivor S45: Episode 9 -- Who's Damocles?

      Welcome back to Escaping Reality! This week we share our thoughts on Survivor Season 45 episode 9! It's just Agie and Stacey this week, with a few pre-recorded gems from our girl Anna. We discuss the Reba domination, the continued losing of votes, a possible showmance, and much more. Then we have our typical vibe checks for Jeff, Castaways of the Weeks, and Rapid Fires.


      And Anna drops a shockingly hot, pre-recorded take that leaves Stacey and Agie speechless (but not for long of course, your girls have the gift of gab after all).

    • Survivor S45: Episode 8 -- Birthing a New Auction!

      Hey Escaping Reality Fam! It's another Anna & Agie special this week until Stacey returns! Less chaotic than last week, but just as stellar as ever.

      THE SURVIVOR AUCTION IS BACK and quite honestly, we spend A LOT of time discussing its inclusion, its items, and its updates. Plus: Jeff wields a knife!! Truly the excitement knows no bounds.

      In addition to those major topics, we're further dissecting our annoyance with Bruce, our thoughts on the inconsistent editing, and the corner we've finally turned on our pal Drew.

      It's a jam packed little recap, so give it a listen!

    • Survivor S45 E7 Recap -- "All About Bruce..."

      Agie and Anna are on the mic by themselves and honestly Stacey should have been there to keep us in line. We had a lot of fun recording and chatting this week, and hopefully y'all understand where we're coming from when we get a little ✨spicy✨ as we discuss this episode. These are not new issues we have, but we were very hype after Night 2 of the Eras Tour in Argentina and brought that energy to the pod. Enjoy!

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

      • Intro (0:00-1:15)
      • One Minute Thoughts (1:15-9:05)

      • Survivor S45: Episode 6 recap -- You Got Stickbug'd

        Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We said we weren't going to do an episode this week.... and here we are with an episode this week. We just couldn't help ourselves. Episode 6 had too much to discuss, so we hopped onto a spontaneous recording session in order to share our thoughts with you.

        Other than praising the episode's spectacular conclusion, we're basically just catching up on our feelings about the remaining castaways, our thoughts on who might make it to the finale, and (as always) what we'd suggest to the Survivor team.

        We hope you enjoy this quick & (admittedly) unplanned recap!

      • Survivor S45: Episode 5 Recap -- "70% Protein. 30% Poop."

        Hey Escaping Reality Fam! We're back, to do our best to talk about a bit of a boring episode this week. We're all in agreement that it's a classic 'filler' episode to push us to the merge, so our thoughts aren't the deepest, but, oooh do we have a good time anyway!

        We're talking about current Tribe dynamics, the decision made at the journey, and the castaway backstories we got this episode.

        As a Trigger Warning: we discuss topics of weight loss, body image, and EDs in this week's podcast, so check out the time-codes below if that's not for you!

        • One Minute Thoughts (1:58-6:40)
        • Episode Recap (6:40-27:00)

          Hey pals - bit of a shorter recap this week because Stacey and Agie were on their own without their girl Anna. Don't worry, we still get a few voice notes from Anna, so she's not fully missing in action! We are really excited to share our thoughts on the new episode that, despite ending in a disappointing way, opened up a lot of possibilities with the tribe swap. Jeff was a little out of pocket, the immunity challenge was new, and another contestant bites the dust. We're breaking it all down for you right here.
