Some familiar faces return to the island, and Rider has some thoughts on how the 50th season might play out, which includes one player he CANNOT stand. 

 

Plus, Rider reveals how he’d play the game if he was ever cast - something he’s thought about a lot!

They’ve cha cha’d across the ballroom and been faithful in a castle, but can Will & Rider outwit, outplay and outlast as they take the challenge of Survivor season 50?

 

Will’s ONLY seen the inaugural season, 26 years ago, but Rider is a longtime diehard, so could either of our hosts actually last for 20 days on the island??

 

Either way, Rider fills in Will on what he’s missed over the past 49 seasons, while they both give flowers to a true master of the hosting craft: Jeff Probst. 

 

And they can’t tackle a 3-hour premiere with just one episode, so don’t miss the second part of the first Pod Meets Twirl’d Seeking Immunity, because the tribe has spoken!

Will and Rider break down Maura’s reaction to the truth about Rob, forever shaking our confidence in a “pinky promise.”

But what are the guys’ final thoughts on their first foray into the castle together? Will Rider continue watching? Would they ever join the cast? Find out on the thrilling conclusion to Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

Even though they are clearly reality TV experts already, Will and Rider are always on the pursuit of a higher education, so they’ve called in Chad Kultgen, a true connoisseur of the medium, and the author of “How to Win The Bachelor,” to help explain some important strategies to victory. 

Chad breaks down the jaw-dropping backstory of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and reveals his pitch for the “ideal” dating show. 

Find out why Chad considers The Traitors the best reality show ever created, what decisions can lead to victory and why Will calls Chad “reality TV Yoda,” as we call in the big guns, for Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

It’s time for the final Round Table, but Will and Rider aren’t ready to leave the castle as they recap the penultimate episode of The Traitors Season 4. 

Mark Ballas may be a ballroom legend, but our hosts have some hard truths about how he’s played the game.

Will reveals why Rob is still the “smart” Traitor, but Rider is shocked that Maura hasn’t caught onto his strategy. But he still has hope she can pull ahead and win the entire show. 

Plus, we hear Will and Rider’s expert opinions on who should be the final killings AND what reality show is next for the podcast - all this week’s Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

Will and Rider may have The Traitors all figured out, but they've still only dipped their toes into the Bravo-verse!  And so they've called in an expert in the form of Ben Mandelker from the hit podcast, "Watch What Crappens."

 

Ben shares a Real Housewives lore dump to get Will and Rider caught up on 20 years of inside jokes and the gang dives deep into how the Real Housewives have more in common with pro wrestling than reality shows. 

 

Plus, Ben helps Will and Rider unpack the tense and controversial moment between Colton Underwood and Michael Rapaport - right here, alongside 3 experts on Pod Meets Twirl'd: Traiting Places!

Will and Rider have emerged from the turret and are ready for another Season 4 recap of The Traitors!

 

The boys think they’ve hit a turning point, taking the season from fun to phenomenal. They love the dynamic between Rob and Eric, but admit it’s tough to ignore the castle’s paranoia since Michael Rapaport’s elimination.

 

But even with that in mind - our hosts can’t help but admire Rob’s strategy and wonder if he’s the the undeniable favorite to win it all. 

 

Plus, Will shares his idea to incentivize the rewards, but could it work in a castle of traitors?? Nothing is sacred on Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

Will and Rider loved this episode, but they still have plenty of questions…like how do you eat yogurt through a veil??

 

Will shares his expert opinion about the fallout of Candiace’s fate and notice that Alan Cumming may have paid tribute to the Boy Meets World-verse!

 

Rider reveals he may want to compete on The Traitors after all - but the reason why might shock you.

 

And remember, a podcaster never comes off their throne...even for Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

It’s time for the Black Banquet and the Daniettes have saved you a seat (and some smoked salmon.)

Lisa Rinna stuns with an outfit that seemed inspired by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Yam Yam’s desperate cry may have sealed her fate.

Plus, everyone’s after the dagger as reality sets in that Rob is “the human lie detector.” Could he possibly be the best Traitors player of all time??

And what would happen in a Traitors season pitting Boy Meets World vs. Full House?? 

Faithfuls and Traitors, it’s time for another recap on Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

*maniacal laugh* It’s time again for Will and Rider to venture into the castle and recap another episode of The Traitors Season 4. 

Between her liberal use of the f-bomb and a penchant for indoor sunglasses, our hosts aren’t impressed with Lisa Rinna, but would they have sniffed out her mission if the clues weren’t so obvious?

Rider gets flashbacks to Cabin Fever thanks to a challenge, but the real fear lies in Alan Cumming having to explains these confusing rules.

Plus…are we headed toward a salmon-specific storyline?? The competition (and the fish) gets smoked on a new Pod Meets Twirl’d!
