It’s time for our first-ever returnee season: Season 16 - Fans vs Favorites! Strategy is (almost) always top of mind for this cast, and we’re eager to witness legendary moment after legendary moment. The journey begins with the big reveal of some of our beloved and hated castaways, including Ozzy, Parvati, Jonathan Penner, Amanda, James, and Jonny Fairplay. Ang & F also give their first impressions of the Favorites they haven’t seen yet: Ami, Eliza, Cirie, and Yau-Man. After breaking down both tribes, we get right into the drama of Jonathan’s alliance vs the couples’ alliance, as well as Joel vs Mikey B on the Fans Tribe. In addition, we talk about the return of Exile Island, romance between our Favorites, and whatever the heck that was that Fairplay was doing.
Recorded: January 2nd, 2026
