Survivor is BACK, and so are we. A new season of Backdoors and Blindsides begins with a recap of the first three weeks of Survivor 49, including Episode 1: "Act I of a Horror Film", Episode 2: "Cinema", and Episode 3: "Loveable Losers". Things are off to a familiar start with yet another cursed tribe losing every challenge, and we analyze the problem with the three-tribe format. Meg also gives a Survivor history lesson inspired by the abrupt medical evac, and we have the inside skinny on why two alternates made it into this season. PLUS: Tribal gets toxic, the studio gets invaded, and the podcast gets a little gross. Enjoy the 3+ hour episode, fam! We'll never do it again!
