Beth (“The Specialist”) and Alexis (“The Enforcer”) delve into the bleakness of Survivor’s “dark age,” forced upon viewers by various members of the Hantz family.

They break down all the weirdness of this era, the unfortunate moment with Dawn’s teeth, and the life that was pumped back into the show by Season 27, Blood vs. Water. They also explain the Redemption Island twist, why Beth thinks this is actually a good season, Jeff Probst’s hatred of quitters, and what Russell Hantz eats (mud).
