Ryan and Corey are back and new era Survivor editing is on TRIAL. The boys break down a… let’s call it “wobbly” merge episode of Survivor 49: from the weird Uncle Jeff narration and another forced sob story, to production clearly thirsting over Rizzo & Savannah while pretending the rest of the cast doesn’t exist. They dive into:

• How knowing the 50 cast has completely nuked the tension of these last three votes
• Is Rizzo playing a great game, or is everyone else just playing terribly around him?
• Why Sophie might secretly be in the best spot in the game and deserves more screen time
• Jawan & Sage’s decision at nine: smart move, or a true game-losing blunder?
• Should Alex ever be invited back, or is he better suited for Family Feud with Steve Harvey?

Plus: fried chicken discourse, Jeff thinking he’s a nature documentary narrator, Savannah farming “I’m on the bottom” confessionals, and Corey inventing new ways to be personally offended by the edit every week. As always, we close it out with the Golden Goat and Bitter Banana awards, and a little love letter / drag session for the 49 cast. Hit play, take a shot every time someone mentions a sob story, and as always… stay bitter, baby. 🥂🐍

Bitter Jury Nation, your boys are BACK and somehow Survivor is actually two for two?? Corey and Ryan break down a surprisingly spicy merge vote and from there get into: 

• Savannah vs Sage and the full-blown Victim Olympics™
• Whether Savannah is actually a “scary mean girl” or just catching a rough edit
• Sophie’s “perfect on paper” plan, MC’s fatal mouth, and how one spilled secret flipped the whole vote
• Rizzo’s idol gamble: galaxy-brain genius or reckless clownery that just happened to work?
• The overpowered twist buffet at the challenge, extra votes, and why production loves bad ideas more than good ones

Plus, bold predictions on who’s leaving next and who’s actually winning this season (RIZGOD hive vs Savannah truthers, place your bets).Stay bitter.

Survivor finally lit a match. Corey & Ryan bicker through a merge that the edit kept calling a “war,” while actually playing out like a glorious free-for-all. We debate the Shannon lie, get into the Sophie/Soph name debacle, and break down Sage vs. Savannah—the petty, spicy rivalry the new era desperately needed. Savannah literally dives for MC’s key, Rizzo gives an all-time flimsy idol bluff, and poor Nate becomes collateral. Ryan accuses Corey of playing the victim; Corey accuses Ryan of hating women (he does not, calm down); but BOTH accuse uncle Jeff of turning this episode into a Survivor 50 infomercial.
Predictions fly, bluffs should’ve been called, and yes—we argue whether taking out Nate was galaxy-brain or new-era soft. Chicago! We’re live next week at Bar Co-Sino (West Town) for the Bryce & Wen watch party. Find the two loud dudes bickering; first listener to say “I stay bitter” gets a round on each of us.

The Bitter Jury boys are back and immediately spiraling 😭 Corey asks Ryan for his fondest memory of “the womb,” and somehow that turns into a serious debate about Shannon claiming she remembers conceptualizing sight. From there, things only get messier.

This week, we break down the so-called war brewing in Survivor 49:

 – Sage's villain era officially kicks off
 –Sophie’s finally getting airtime (and confessionals! ..... barely) 
– Knowledge Is Power returns from the grave — and we hate it
– Kristina gives the underdog moment of the season .... (according to corey)
 – Shannon vs. Sage: masterclass strategy or petty revenge?
 – The “no-hug” heard ‘round Fiji 👋

Plus, Jeff’s over-the-top hype, grilled cheese rewards, the world’s quickest scramble, and why “I want to instill fear in people” might be the funniest confessional of the year. New era chaos, spiritual awakenings, and a little Survivor therapy — all in one episode of The Bitter Jury Podcast.

Corey and Ryan bicker their way through a spicy episode: Jason returns from tribal on the absolute bottom and somehow doesn’t play his Shot in the Dark, the “journey” puts us all to sleep, and the boys debate whether Hina should’ve blatantly thrown the challenge. We dive into Steven’s morning-strategy pearl-clutching, the Sage vs. Shannon cold war, and Savannah’s one-woman anti-Jawan crusade. Nate tells a teammate to “shut up,” Jeff forgets how to do mat chat, chickens make a controversial comeback (Sia who?), and the looming “merge war” better be Super Bowl-level or we riot. It’s petty, it’s opinionated, it’s Bitter Jury.

It’s not a recap — it’s a mess. Corey and Ryan dive into the Survivor 49 cast’s pre-season “hot takes” and proceed to roast, agree, disagree, spiral, and maybe even regret doing this episode in the first place. They also respond to some listener emails, bicker like it’s an Olympic sport, and question how some of these people got cast in the first place. It’s unfiltered, unhinged, and somehow still deeply analytical (if you squint).

Corey and Ryan are back and… bored. Has Survivor finally flatlined, or is there still a pulse under all these sob stories? In this week’s episode, the Bitter Jury wonders if the glory days are gone for good, debates whether the show can still be saved, and tries (and fails) to find signs of life in episode four. They may be extra bitter, but deep down — way, way down — they’re still holding out hope.

Corey and Ryan finally meet up in the wild at a Survivor bar event, and shocker — they immediately start beefing. Not just with each other, but with another Survivor podcast (shots fired). They dive into this week’s medical “emergency” — was Jake’s snake bite removal necessary or was it just just typical Probst Emmy bait? Plus: the breakdown of the blue tribe, who’s actually playing smart, and some bold (and probably cursed) winner predictions.
