We journey to one of the most unique Survivor locations…China! Where challenges are fun & interesting, and the castaways keep us laughing most of the time. We witness one of the worst blunders in Survivor history and try to wrap our heads around how it happened. We also question whether some of the girls’ games/strategy are enough to compete against Todd’s. That, along with a potential Jonny Fairplay moment at the Loved Ones Challenge, made for an exciting pair of episodes.Recorded: December

We journey to one of the most unique Survivor locations…China! Where challenges are fun & interesting, and the castaways keep us laughing most of the time. We get a rare night time challenge, Dave finally gets his comeuppance, and we react to a wild and controversial swap, and a just as wild and controversial challenge throw. Did Jamie & Peih-Gee make the right decision? Is Aaron the most swap-screwed Survivor ever? And are we sick of swaps in general?Recorded: November 23rd,

We journey to one of the most unique Survivor locations…China! Where challenges are fun & interesting, and the castaways keep us laughing most of the time. We begin our adventure going through episodes 1-3 in order to get the most info about our cast, which includes stars such as a lunch lady, a poker player, a chicken farmer, a parkour athlete, a grave digger, and (as Jeff puts it) a gay, Mormon, flight attendant. We then wrap our heads around the enigma that is Chicken, begin rooting against

It’s time for a case study in chaos and self-destructions. We take Survivor F through Season 46 to see how he handles madness at every turn. Somehow the craziness has continued as we watched back-to-back tribals where someone went home with an idol in their pocket.

It’s time for a case study in chaos and self-destructions. We take Survivor F through Season 46 to see how he handles madness at every turn. Episodes 7 & 8 have begun to make F lose his mind as he has decided to dub this part of the season the “Chaos Saga”. We react to a pseudo swap after the first challenge, a few more self-destructs, the most high-stakes game of hide-and-seek you’ll ever see, and Q blowing up the game.Recorded: October 29th, 2025----------------Intro

And it’s all over! Savannah completes a dominant season as she goes the distance to earn the title of Sole Survivor. We react to her Final Tribal performance, as well as criticize most of the other castaways for their missed opportunities and strange decisions. As we reflect on the season as whole, we discuss which players’ strategies made any sense, who we’d enjoy seeing again, and whether Rizo, Sophi, Sage, or Kristina could have done anything to change their fates.

One more season before the big one. Episode 12 was allllmost an epic moment in Survivor history. If nothing else, it still gave us emotional whiplash that only certain episodes can. We talk through all angles of Sophi’s Knowledge-is-Power play, try to figure out who even made correct moves in this episode, and rank the potential winner chances of our final 5 castaways.----------------Intro (00:00)Setting the Stage for Sophi’s Decision (3:45)Criticizing Sophi’s Strategy (7:04)Rizo’s Theatrics and NOT

One more season before the big one. We go through episodes 10 & 11 where the fated battle between the Bottoms Up Alliance and the Soph, Savannah, & Rizo Alliance took place. And…it was pretty much no contest in the end as Savannah succeeded in getting her “revenge”. We react to what likely was the end of Kristina having any chance to win, a pretty crazy Journey that Steven went on, and discuss Sophie’s strategy, whose fingerprints were all over these two

We tread into controversial territory as we tackle Season 13, Cook Islands! We react to the finale as the Aitu 4 complete their ultimate underdog performance. When it was all said and done, was “Race Wars” a good idea? And how did the existence of the Super Idol affect our final opinion of Yul’s game? We also share our thoughts on the worst Fire-Making attempts we’ve ever seen, the nerve-racking reading of the final votes, and who will be returning from this season to play

Island Life - A Survivor Podcast ·

2025/11/22

One more season before the big one. At this point, do we have no choice but to put respect on R-I-Z-O-G-O-D’s name? After what seems like another Rizo master-class in manipulation, it seems the storyline of the season has taken shape. In addition to that, we consider whether it’s better to flush an idol, or let the idol-holder keep it so that you know where it is at all times? We also watch some clutch challenge victories, awkward post-Tribal Council conversations, and Jeff possibly

We tread into controversial territory as we tackle Season 13, Cook Islands! We celebrate the return of Survivor F as he joins us on the home stretch of this season. We witness the continued dominance of the Aitu 4, and contemplate if anyone other than Ozzy & Yul have a chance to win at the end.
