Survivor All-Time Top 40 Rankings | #32: Ghost Island

Welcome the Survivor All-Time Top 40 Rankings podcast. Rob Has a Podcast reached out to thousands of dedicated Survivor fans on the ultimate quest to compile the definitive ranking of Survivor seasons. Each week, Rob Cesternino will be joined by a panel of guests to countdown the top 40 chart. Along the way, we’ll take a look back at each season and highlight some of the standout moments, players, and moves.

This week, we’re attempting to reverse the curse as we head to the beaches of Naviti and Malolo for Survivor: Ghost Island. Joining Rob for this leg of the journey is two podcasting legends, Liana Boraas (@LianaRHAP) and Phil Torres (@philerd). Nobody on this podcast will be putting the mic down, bro, as they do a deep dive into the 32nd best season of Survivor.

Is this season where you expected it to fall? Is it too low? Too high? What season will we discuss next week? Share your Top 40 tweets with us by tagging @RobHasAPocast and using the hashtags #RHAP and #SurvivorTop40!

Talking with T-Bird: Todd Herzog

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 thirty-seventh episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Todd Herzog.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Todd Herzog, a castaway from Survivor: China. On Survivor: China, the fifteenth season, Todd started out on the red Fei Long tribe, where Jean-Robert Bellande immediately labeled him as a strategic threat. He quickly formed an alliance with Amanda Kimmel, Courtney Yates, Denise Martin, and James Clement that gave him control of the game from the onset. His game even kicked into a higher gear post-merge where he not only helped orchestrate the demolition of the original Zhan Hu tribe, but also organized the two biggest blindsides of the season on Jean-Robert and James. He was initially disliked by much of the jury for his conniving ways but after one of, if not the best, Final Tribal Council performance in the history of the game, he was able to defeat Courtney and Amanda in a 4-2-1 vote.

You can check out Todd’s statistics on the Survivor Wiki from his Survivor career here: Todd Herzog’s Survivor Wiki Profile.

You can also check out Todd’s other appearances on RHAP and much more on our Survivor winners page here: Todd Herzog’s RHAP Survivor Winners Profile.

Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #122: Match Game

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 “Match Game” which resulted in Rob and Akiva being joined by an all-star cast of guests to play the game made famous by the 1962 NBC game show of the same name.

After Rob and Akiva play the Match Game, they go through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 123.

Check out the video version of the podcast on our YouTube channel here: Match Game Video.
