The first swap of the new era? The second person to quit this season? The third time Sifu has said something incredibly bizarre? This episode may not exactly be "the burger we want" but we're still excited to talk about everything that happened, specifically the brokenness of swaps and some pretty drastic movers up and down in our power rankings.

The best first three episode arc in Survivor history!? We think so! The fall and rise of Emily in the past three episodes is incredible, and we're here to break down everything that just happened including our takes on new advantages and game mechanics, Drew's stock falling, and Dee's stock rising. Plus, some serious game theory breakdown about Emily's plea to Kaleb right before tribal.

New Name! New Logo! Same delirious banter! Ethan and Charlie are back with the first episode of Season 45 and while the ending left much to be desired, there's still plenty to discuss: the new savvy/sweat challenge, The Lulu tribe falling apart on day 1, an all-new beware advantage, and more. Plus, Charlie does 20 minutes of material on the tribe names, we are SO back!

Ethan has somehow convinced Charlie to join him in the muck in exploring some summer reality tv! We're taking a look at the very entertaining and very flawed "Claim to Fame" currently airing on ABC/Hulu. There's a kernel of a nugget of a good game in this mess of a show, can the boys find it? How should the end game play out? And is there any better strategy than to just tank challenges and stay quiet? We're gonna find out!

The title doesn't lie: this really did turn out to be an absolute banger season. The tika three remain intact until fire, an epic necklace take-down, and one of the best final tribals we've ever seen. All this and more is unpacked in our final episode for season 44. Plus, we announce our new name for the show!

It's the penultimate episode of Season 44! Despite there not being a ton of exciting moves, Ethan is ready to concede that this is a great season and the boys are hopeful for an excellent finale and an ultimate Tika victory! But which of Carson, Yam Yam, or Carolyn have the best chance? We talk paths (yes, even boardstates) and win shares for the three stooges and the move-that-could-have-been for Heidi.

Much like Carolyn to her crustacean shells, we do not feel worthy of the excellent episode to recap that stands before us! We heap praise where praise is due upon the Tika Three and their incredible journey from 12 people post-merge to now having the majority at final six. Carolyn's idol play, Heidi trying to cover up the Danny vote, and a bizarre DeNiro impression exit are all up for grabs as we dissect episode 11!

Positions. Paths. Boardstates. Whatever you want to call it (Charlie definitely wants to call it a Boardstate), when there's 8 players left, it's all about identifying your threat level and either suppressing it or amping it up. It's not only about making your way to final tribal, but having enough ink on your resume to get the million dollars once you're there. This week we're looking at our remaining 8 and seeing just how things might pan out for them!

The Late-Night Loopy Boys are back with another episode breakdown for season 44! Can Carson continue to fly under the radar? How do we feel about this new iteration of the rice "negotiation"? And what the heck was up with that 5-3-1-1 vote split!? All this, and more!
