Awards season is in full swing. While the Golden Globes were boring, the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations added some much needed drama to the season. But it’s the Emmys that is on everybody’s mind. The real question is, will ‘Survivor’ finally win an Emmy after a 17 year absence from the awards? It could happen, and it’s large part to players like Katurah Topps, who joins Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott on this episode. She talked about the highs and lows of her game play, what it’s like to be on social media as a Black and queer ‘Survivor’ player, and how her life prepared her to compete on the show.  

Listen to H. Alan’s chat with the winner of 45, Dee Valladares, and the runners-up Austin Li Coon and Jake O’Kane. H. Alan also spoke with the breakout stars from ‘Survivor’ 44 Carson Garrett, Carolyn Wiger, and Yam Yam Arocho (who just so happened to win 44). They spoke about how they’re handling life post-’Survivor’ and what they’re up to now, like Yam Yam’s salon, Carolyn being a Cameo queen, and Carson’s new 3D-printed puzzle business Puzzlenaut.
