Matt and Jared are back to break down episode 8 of Survivor 42. A bit of a comedown after last week's big two hour episode, but still a solid episode.

What a shame that the dreaded, terrible, stupid hourglass twist had to come up here, because these were two otherwise pretty great hours of Survivor.

Survivor 42 keeps the good times rolling, with another great episode. With the merge-but-maybe-not-merge ahead (i.e. the dreaded hourglass twist), let's enjoy what we've got while we've got it.

Another season in the books! The Blood V Water season of Australian Survivor wasn't without its flaws, but was all in all pretty damn fun.

We're here to break down the big finale week and take a look back on the season as a whole. Should be a fun listen, enjoy! And thanks for listening!

Three good episodes in a row, Survivor 42 is on a heater!

One tribe continues to dominate while the other two are sloppy and messy and amazing. 

And Lydia's tweets continue to be a godsend.

Please follow, subscribe, rate, review! We truly appreciate it and it really does help!

What an episode! Some absolutely wild stuff, courtesy of unbelievably poor gameplay. Can the rest of this season please be this messy and fun?

We also debut a new segment we stumble upon on the fly.

With just a few episodes left, we finally see a power shake-up. We discuss how it happened and what it means for the endgame. We also fix the auction for U.S. Survivor (literally just copy what Survivor AU does; you're welcome Probst).

*Programming note: We will likely have to miss next week. We'll be back the following week for what we presume will be the finale.*

*There are a couple spots where Matt's audio isn't great. This episode was recorded in a hotel. Hotel internet, what can you do?*

Episode 2 of SURVIVOR 42 was a definite improvement over the premiere. Is that a sign of things to come, or is it the start of another up and down season like season 41?

One thing we do know is that Lydia is an absolute QUEEN.

*NOTE: Matt recorded in a hotel for this episode, and as a result, the audio quality is not as good as we would hope. It's still listenable though, and is just a one week occurrence.*

We may have hit the doldrums of this season, with four votes but just one actual elimination in the last three episodes. But there's still plenty to discuss, as always.

With Purgatory players returning next week, hopefully there's still some chaos left to see.

U.S. Survivor is back! Matt and Jared break down all the action from the Survivor 42 premiere. Matt maybe gets a little ranty (but it's probably justified), as there are serious shades of the worst parts of season 41. Great cast though!
