We're excited for Survivor 49 here at reality realm, and it's time for a fantasy draft.We've brought back Kevin from Pit Stop Pals, Heather and Steve from our co hosts respective families, and this year we are joined by Kyle Dorr from our new show, BB Brains. All six players will draft their team of three castaways each and are about to go head to head for as the title of reality realm fantasy winner is back up for grabs.

This week we're talking episodes 7, 8 and 9 of Survivor Australia v. The World. We have new challenges, votes going in all directions, twists impacting the game, a player wanting to make a strategic quit, advantages being played, advantages being destroyed, and even a game of super sized simmotion. We wrap it up with our finale predictions before Sunday's big event

This week we're back talking about Survivor: Australia v. The World. We cover Tommi and Tony being up against the wall and trying to find a way through, only to be blocked by Parvati's physical strength, leading to the return of game changers Tony. We then get an auction with some poor decisions, a weather impacted challenge, and a major blindside after Tommi wins a rock draw (finally).In episode three we see Kirby trying to form a new alliance with Parv after she voted out her #1 in Sarah, but this was not enough to build trust based on what happend to Sarah and George. We also see Kass and Parvati's deal not pan out.We then wrap up with a discussion on how votes are playing out, a cross between different political culturs and how they impact Survivor, our predictions for next week, and our power rankings.

This week we are back with a very special guest and someone that Bruce and Brett have been watching for many years. We're excited to welcome Phil from The Specialists to Tribal Council Chat.This week the three of us rank our new era winners eight through one, talk about each players game, and then end it with align, blindside, first boot

We're back and heading to a land down under this week. It's finally time to talk Australia v. The World.We talk opening impressions, flashbacks to past seasons, early alliances, shifting voting patterns, and some massive tribal council moments.Having such a short game makes this season make the new era look slow.

Today, the 16th of August 2025, would have been Keith Nale's 65th birthday.To mark this occasio , Bruce and Brett have invited fellow reality realm host and Keith stan Kevin Oliver back to Tribal Council Chat for a night to remember one of the most iconic characters in survivor. The three of us talk about Keith's game, his impact on Survivor, and share a few laughs along the way from "Wesley hasn't got arrested yet" to "golf, fishing, and going on a cruise are fun" to reliving Keith driving a Tuk Tuk around in Cambodia on a reward.In typical reality realm fashion, the one thing we don't do is "stick to the plan"

This week we're back to do a new episode on our third player representing the world in Australian Survivor, Cirie Fields. 

We open the show talking about Cirie's first season of Survivor: Exile Island where she shows that social game will always be worth more than survival skills.

We then move to Micronesia where we talk about her game moves with the Black Widow Brigade, and her role in Erik's blindside. 

After she's blindsided early in Heroes v. Villains, she's back again to play another long game in Game Changers where she ultimately goes down to one of the most controversial tribal councils to date

This season we're doing another draft and simuation, this time with a new era all stars cast. Brett and Bruce alternate picks building their tribes of winners, legendary gamers, and a few longshots to see how they would face off in a simulated season head to head. Will a winner win again, or will another memorable player get a shot at redemption?

This week we're back reviewing the cast of Survivor: Australia v. The World. We talk about each players stats coming into the game, their backgrounds on and off reality tv, and what we predict from their games.We then have a seven round fantasy draft to select teams for each host.We will be podcasting this season after it starts on August 17th

This week we're trying something new. We go back to the roots of Tribal Council Chat from our first off-season and do a fantasy draft. This time our theme is players who had their game screwed up by production's decisions.We then place our tribes into a simulation based on Survivor: Africa and see who comes out on top, which players clash early, and who just might quit the game.
