Rob Has a Podcast | Big Brother, Survivor & Reality TV - RHAP

Each week, Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X’s Hannah “Lil Nessen” Shapiro (@HannahLilNessen) gets together with different Survivor friends to discuss the archetypes they represented on the CBS show.  This week, Hannah is joined by Two-Time Survivor and Host of Rob Has a Podcast, Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) to discuss The Original Superfan Archetype.

RHAP Rewind | Joe Millionaire

Welcome to the RHAP Rewind! Each week, we’ll be popping in a new VHS tape to take a look back at some shows from the reality TV archives. We’ll be rewinding the tapes and hopping to a new episode of a new series (or an entire series) every single week.

This week, Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) is back with RHAP podcaster Chappell (@Chappells_Show) for another week of the RHAP Rewind. To continue JOE-ly, this podcasting duo is joined by a great guest in RHAP podcaster Jason Reed (@JayR1085). Together, they discuss the entirety of the FOX reality series Joe Millionaire which originally aired from January 6 to November 24, 2003. The premise involves sending a group of twenty women to vie for the heart of a man they think is a millionaire, but “Joe Millionaire” is simply a construction worker with a very limited bank account. At the end of the show, when “Joe” chooses his winner, he is also forced to tell her the truth about his life and financial standing.

Talking with T-Bird: Michaela Bradshaw

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the forty-sixth episode of “Talking with T-Bird,” and in conjunction with Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X‘s appearance this week on the RHAP All-Time Survivor Season Rankings, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Michaela Bradshaw.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Michaela Bradshaw, who was one of the most dynamic players on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, and so much so that she was immediately brought back on for Survivor: Game Changers. On Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, the thirty-third season, she started out on the orange Millennial tribe, and immediately became known for her challenge prowess and her honest and sometimes harsh personality. Despite some conflicts, she was never targeted at this stage of the game and she made it to the swap on day 13, landing on the newly formed green Ikabula tribe, where she initially could not hide her anger over the results but made solid inroads with all her tribemates. However, on day 20, she showed Jay and Will how intelligent she was with the way she was planning for the merge and was viciously blindsided by everyone in a 4-1 vote, leaving her the seventh person voted out, the final pre-juror, and finishing in fourteenth place.

Two weeks after Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X wrapped up, Michaela was invited back for the show’s thirty-fourth season and fourth all-returnee season, Survivor: Game Changers. As one of the only two players whose season had not yet aired, Michaela was a wildcard for everyone involved and that’s why first boot Ciera attempted to target her right away. While she didn’t make the best relationships early on, her tight relationship with Sandra allowed her to survive the pre-merge part of the game. At the merge, she pivoted and worked closely with Cirie, who took Michaela under her wing. While she wasn’t popular with some of her tribemates, she was always respected as a strategic and physical threat. At the final seven, after Cirie’s failed attempt at stealing Sarah’s advantage, Sarah blinsided Michaela because of her closeness with Cirie, leaving her in seventh place.

You can check out Michaela’s statistics on the Survivor Wiki from her Survivor career here: Michaela Bradshaw’s Survivor Wiki Profile.

Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #140: Rob & Akiva are Cheaters

Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, the wheel landed on “Coin Flip” which narrowed the options down to Rob and Akiva’s choice, both of which ended up being “Cheaters.” As a result, Rob and Akiva were joined by RHAP podcaster Maggie Morgan (@MLMorgan) to discuss the season 9 premiere of the 2000 reality show where they focus on couples where one party is cheating on the other in RAANAP episode 140.

After Rob and Akiva talk about all the cheaters, they go through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel directly from the listeners and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 141.
