RHAP: We Know Reality TV

As some beaches might be opening a bit prematurely, you can count on this episode of the Purple Pants Podcast to open at the perfect time. On this week’s episode we have an exclusive interview with Frank Colombo Jr. of the hit HBO series “McMillions.” Our favorite baby boy @jackatkins21 is healthy again and back to break down the loved ones’ episode of “Survivor: Winners at War.” Brice also recaps another week’s worth of HBO’s “Insecure” and Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently held a press conference regarding the reopening of the state’s beaches and Brice is here with a rebuttal. We’re also excited to welcome back Ms. Barb for another installment of “Barb’s Message.” As always, no episode would be complete without our weekly Church Announcements, Purple Pants Picks, Advice with Brice, and Freak of the Week! It might not be the right time to reopen the beaches, but it’s definitely the right time for y’all to open up another episode, ’cause ISSA ISSA Purple Pants Podcast, episode 35!

Survivor 40 | Why __ Lost Episode 10 RHAPup with David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis

Each week this season on our Survivor Podcast, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis will talk about why each voted out player “lost the game”. For more on David’s Survivor rules check out his most recent update… What Island of the Idols Survivors Should Have Learned

David and Jessica already talked about Tyson once, but since he returned and was voted out again, it’s time to take another look. Since returning to the game, Tyson was able to dodge the spotlight and stick around for a little while. He would’ve made it longer if Jeremy hadn’t vamoosed from Tribal Council. So what made Tyson the next choice? What could he have done about it, if anything? It’s time to figure out Why Tyson Lost Again.

To review the short version of David’s Rules, here is the quick version:

Rule 1: Scheme and Plot

Rule 2: But Don’t Scheme and Plot Too Much/Keep Your Scheming Secret/Don’t Backstab Until You Absolutely Need To

Rule 3: Be Flexible!

Rule 4: Don’t Let Your Emotions Control You

Rule 5: Pretend To Be Nice/Play the Social Game (and Keep Your Politics and Controversial Beliefs To Yourself)

Rule 6: Don’t Be Too Much of a Threat

Rule 7: Know How to Deal with Idols and Advantages

Appendix A: Make Your Votes Count – Keep in Mind Your End Goal

Appendix B: The Jury Phase
