This week we interviewed Shannon Elkins. He left the game in episode 2 of Survivor Nicaragua. In the beginning, it looked like he was successful in establishing a majority alliance, but it quickly spun out of control on day 6 when he squared off against his nemisis, Brenda. Listen to this audio interview to find out which previous Survivors got him interested in the show, how what we saw him say at Tribal Council was taken out of context, how his family reacted to the things he said and lots more!

Tonight's episode was evidently sponsored by "The Dark Side of Human Nature". We've got at least 3 castaways this season that were ready to get ugly with others at the drop of a hat. Do you think that might be due to Russell's influence on the game? If you were on a tribe with Holly or NaOnka, how would you take advantage of their erratic behavior? Would you include them in your alliance or vote them off as soon as you had a chance? Jill and Marty partnered to discover the first HII. How do you think it will affect their chances in the game? Do you think Jimmy Johnson is really calling the shots on Espada? Will La Flor follow Brenda's advice and use the MOP in the next challenge?

Here are the tribes after episode 2. La Flor:Alina, Benry, Brenda, Chase, Jud, Kelly B, Kelly S, NaOnka, and Sash Espada:Dan, Holly, Jane, Jill, Jimmy J, Jimmy T, Marty, Tyrone and Yve

We both think that La Flor is in a full on meltdown and that NaOnka will be the next to go. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

The first episode of Survivor Nicaragua has aired, and it's time to see what you thought about it. People were pretty unanimous in the enjoyment of Jud's goofy antics. The viewers choice, Jimmy T, saw his approval ratings plummet. Per your request Jimmy T, we have our pencils and notebooks out and so far your score is a big 'ol goose egg. Opinions were split on Jimmy Johnson: gimmick who needs to go vs Espada's #1 cheerleader and an inspiration to all. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty fans shared their thoughts on episode 1 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Jennifer, EvilJohn, Trey, Eric, Sandi, Jimmy, Drew, MikeyR, Ricky, Jeremiah, Rashmi, Lil' Russ, Samantha, Tanwen, Shelley, Doug, Michael, Paul, Jen and Chris.

This week we interviewed Wendy Jo Desmidt-Kohlhoff. She left the game in episode 1 of Survivor Nicaragua. Poor Wendy Jo committed one of the cardinal social sins of Survivor. She did not connect with her tribemates in the crucial first few days of the game. Her strategy to lay low to avoid being considered a chatter box backfired and not even a last minute effort at Tribal Council could save her. Listen to this interview to find out how she came to be a fan of Survivor, her assessment of all her tribemates, details on the food they had access to and lots more!

Welcome back! We got a great start with Episode 1 of Survivor Nicaragua tonight. It began with a classic psyche manuever leading the castaways to think the tribes had already been chosen as they made their first entrance on the show. Oddly enough, the only person perceptive enough to guess the truth behind how the tribe membership would actually be determined ended up being voted out. It looks like the challenges may actually be balanced this time. Maybe the older, Espada tribe will actually have an equal opportunity to win. Do you think Jimmy Johnson really is a fan? Some of the things we heard him say in tonight's episode really left me wondering. Do you think the "men's alliance" started by Chase and Shannon will amount to anything? How long before Jud gets seriously hurt and takes himself out of the game on a medical? It seems very likely that the Espada tribe will use the Medallion of Power, aka the MoP, in the next challenge. Do you think it will be enough to help them win and avoid another tribal council?

Here are the tribes after episode 1. La Flor:Alena, Benry, Brenda, Chase, Jud, Kelly B, Kelly S, NaOnka, Sash and Shannon Espada:Dan, Holly, Jane, Jill, Jimmy J, Jimmy T, Marty, Tyrone and Yve

Jo Ann is hoping that Espada will vote out Dan next. Stacy thinks that Jimmy Johnson is the next best choice. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?
