Survivor Season 44, Episode 9 Recap: "Shoutout to Tree Mail"

✨SURPRISE!✨ Due to our excitement that Ep. 9 ended up being kind of a banger and had our first really "live" tribal council in a while, we decided to do a recap episode on it, instead of waiting until Ep. 9 and 10 had both aired. We're unpredictable over here at Escaping Reality - just trying to keep you on your toes.

Because this episode finally started to feel like real "Survivor" again - we're breaking it ALL down for you. And we mean, ALL of it. There's so much to unpack in this episode and there wasn't even a reward challenge. Agie is being sassy, Stacey and Anna are bringing up Jeff's podcast, and overall, we just had so much fun! Hope you are also enjoying your weekly dose of tree mail and wild idol play. See you for Episode 10 (and maybe 11)!
