Come on in (guys)! Beth and Alexis are joined by the hilarious Tucker Reynolds (tuckercomedy on TikTok & Instagram, also Alexis’ bestie) to talk the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to the girlies and the gays on Survivor over the years.

Tucker breaks down, line by line, the Black Widow Brigade’s scheme to get Erik to give away his immunity necklace, Jeff Probst’s big ally energy in Season 41, the best terrible moments of Jeff’s #1 enemy, Colton Cumbie, and more!

Beth and Alexis are draped head-to-toe in Joe Anglim jewelry and are very (happy) to have Jen D’Angelo (Hocus Pocus 2, Quiz Lady) and Jessica McKenna (Off Book, Dropout, Baking It) in the studio to talk about the greatest reality TV host of all time, Jeff Probst, who they all love dearly but… they have some notes.

From Jeff’s evolution over the years, to his snuffer collection, to whether or not it would be weird to bring a photo of him to the hospital when you’re giving birth, they cover it all.

And they speculate as to which will end first: Jeff’s reign as Survivor host or earth as we know it.

Beth and Alexis leave the dark era behind and bask in the joy of new twists, silly tribal division themes, and Jeremy, one of the best winners ever.

They break down the difference between “old school” players and “new school” players, as well as the advent of voting blocks and trust clusters. And, of course, they discuss the many medical evacuations on season 32 (Kaoh Rong), from Beast Mode Cowboy’s near death experience to poor old Joe’s kebab-induced downfall.

It’s also finally time to talk more in depth about Beth’s favorite maniac, Debbie, as well as the great Aubry Bracco who’s returning for the 4th time on Survivor 50.

Holy crap, Beth and Alexis had the pleasure of interviewing the iconic, and extremely quotable, two-time Survivor winner, Sandra Diaz-Twine!

Sandra talks “queen stays queen” lore, having no use for meat shields, and her hatred of the shot in the dark twist. They also get into her time on other shows, like Traitors (including what she thinks of the current season, Rob, and the hard boiled eggs and salmon of it all) and Extracted, which she’s currently competing on with her daughter.

A must-listen for anyone who loves Sandra and wants to know what her go-to karaoke song is.

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).

EXTRA CREDIT EPISODE! Beth and Alexis sit down with freaky Survivor superfan, Joseph Elston (Bad Packs, Schlubs) to share stories about Joseph eating gross things, Alexis NOT eating a pickle, and Beth getting waterboarded at a Turkish bath.

But mostly, they discuss Survivor family visits, how rewards have changed over the years, classic Survivor challenges we’ll never see again (the water wheel torture challenge), and classics we almost certainly will see in Season 50 (they’ve gotta get Ozzy and Dee huggin’ that pole!). And it all culminates in a dramatic planking competition between Alexis and Joseph that you won’t want to miss.

They also go over everything you need to know about Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, Benjamin “Coach” Wade, and Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth. Much more about Cirie Fields and the Black Widow Brigade to come!

Beth and Alexis deposit their credentials as Survivor superfans, then walk through the humble beginnings and basic premise of the greatest TV show of all time.

From Richard Hatch winning Survivor Borneo to Johnny Fairplay’s fake grandma death to Boston Rob and Ambah’s iconic showmance, they cover the biggest moments and contestants in this era, as well as giving a primer on Season 50 castaways, Jenna Lewis-Dougherty and Colby Donaldson, including an oral history of Colby’s pissy little fight with Jeff Probst.
