We made it to the end, and we agree, it WAS a banger of a season. And who better to review the season finale of Survivor than with friend and comedian Mary McDonnell! We are so happy to have a worthy winner this season, discuss  if we can spot the winner via the edit, and speculate on what we want to see for future seasons of Survivor.

Join Lida for a conversation with Ernest Meyers - a comedian, writer, and avid Survivor fan - about Season 44, Episode 12. On Survivor fire is your life and this episode is fire - they talk about their favorite seasons, Beyoncé, and the power of striking. Of course, they analyze strategy too - the tensions between Jamie, Heidi, and Lauren and their chances of making it to the final three, how knowledge of Survivor can be beneficial or detrimental, and debate the advantages of individual versus group rewards. And of course, it’s the last chance to predict who is going to win Survivor. The Women’s Alliance has spoken.

We are happily joined by our favorite guy, Yoni Lotan, to cover Survivor S44E11, “I’m Not Worthy”, and as newer Survivor fans, we all ate it up! In this episode we jump into Survivor theory, what happens on the production side of filming Survivor, how much awareness you need as a player, and how long does it really take to vote? We’re big fans of owning your emotions, famous Survivor controversies, and ask the question: how important is physical prowess for final tribal?

We’re thinking this episode was a little predictable but the love for Survivor is strong from Lida, Jenny, and special guest Rylan Sylvester. But we would do anything for a Survivor cameo, scout’s honor, and how important mediation seems to be this season! Special shout out to the Dream Team, people who think they’re threats but aren’t, and our dream sign off lines if we were voted off the island, (not that that would ever happen!)  Please cast your votes to keep us alive by liking and subscribing wherever you get your podcasts!

The girls are back after watching this episode at former guest Gabe Bergado’s Crystal Lake Watch Party with some very special people. *Rhymes with Clam Clam* They’re joined by Christian Banda, who someday is probably going to be on Survivor - he’s already had a call back.

Is that an echo we hear? Maybe! But it is also an echo of one of our favorite guests, comedian and friend, Rachel Taenzler is back to cover Survivor S44+E7, “Let’s Not Be Cute About It”! The merge is real, the love is real, the idols are not always real. We’re here for the 2003 Fan Cam for Matt & Frannie, we want a fully jury vote, and our new rule: We’re not dating if you don’t make the merge!

Oh my goodness, it’s just the girls to talk about  Survivor S44E5 “The Third Turd” and S44E6 “Survivor with a Capital S.” Two episodes, one merge, a man who fell from a rock, and the ghost of the man who got bonked on the head. We talk about the twists this season (We like!), whether it would hurt or help our careers to be on Survivor (We don’t know but probably bad!), and who we would be ok with winning this season (Not the men!).

Hello to Felicia! We are joined again by one of our fave comedians and friends, Glennis LaRoe, to cover Survivor S44E4 “I’m Felicia”. Though we may have started watching with ex’s but the only X’s we care about now are the ones in the birdcage! Of course we are rooting for the underdog, we spot the Disney adults, are huge fans of the big boys jumping in the water, and we sense a villain origin story coming. And we ask the big question: Should Survivor cast an influencer? Tune in at the end as we actively stalk some of our favorite players on social media, no one is safe from our detective skills!  Please cast your votes to keep us alive by liking and subscribing wherever you get your podcasts!

Raise your torches because Jenny and Lida are back with one of their favorite guests of the pod, Connor Johnston, to get into weird little episode S44 Ep3 “Sneaky Little Snake.” And it’s extra special because Connor watched this episode at CLAIRE’S APARTMENT with a dozen Survivor players - Maddy, Helen, Claire, Carson, Matthew, Josh, Jam Jam… wtf! He doesn’t have spoilers, but he does have details. We talk about mental health on Survivor, all the girlies getting voted out, and fake immunity idols galore!
