It’s time for our first ever returnee season: Season 16 - Fans vs Favorites! Strategy is (almost) always top of mind for this cast, and we’re eager to witness legendary moment after legendary moment. It’s merge time, and what was on the surface an easy 6-4 majority for the Favorites went the complete other way. After snuggling with another woman, Ozzy gets a bit too cocky for his own good and becomes the latest to get blindsided. Amanda debates whether she wants to be part of Parvati’s new alliance, while Eliza frantically searches for a way to survive. And we all react to the revelation that Jason’s almighty hidden immunity idol was, in fact, “just an f’n stick.”

We watch Kathy become the latest to leave without a vote, Tracy’s luck finally run out, and Erik cause all of Ami’s plans to blow up in her face. We also get the start of a potential new alliance between Parvati, Natalie, & Alexis, a huge 3-2-1 vote that almost changed the game, and the full adoption of Erik by Ozzy.

It’s time for our first ever returnee season: Season 16 - Fans vs Favorites! Strategy is (almost) always top of mind for this cast, and we’re eager to witness legendary moment after legendary moment. We witness maybe the most dangerous challenge we’ve seen on this podcast so far, at least by injury count. And, seeing as Chet of all people puts an end to the Fan’s (and Ami’s) plans, we deep dive into how long ago Chet could’ve/should’ve been voted out. All that, plus a tribe swap, the fake idol being found, and Jonathan’s gruesome infection gives us plenty to discuss.

It’s time for our first-ever returnee season: Season 16 - Fans vs Favorites! Strategy is (almost) always top of mind for this cast, and we’re eager to witness legendary moment after legendary moment. The journey begins with the big reveal of some of our beloved and hated castaways, including Ozzy, Parvati, Jonathan Penner, Amanda, James, and Jonny Fairplay. Ang & F also give their first impressions of the Favorites they haven’t seen yet: Ami, Eliza, Cirie, and Yau-Man. After breaking down both tribes, we get right into the drama of Jonathan’s alliance vs the couples’ alliance, as well as Joel vs Mikey B on the Fans Tribe. In addition, we talk about the return of Exile Island, romance between our Favorites, and whatever the heck that was that Fairplay was doing.

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. The finale is upon us as we watch Todd close the book on an excellent Survivor game. We discuss where some of the other castaways went wrong, including Denise’s bizarre decisions, Courtney’s continued indifference, and Amanda’s choice to take the high road when the low road might have brought her to victory. We also discuss a particularly bitter jury, and make time to talk about a pretty insane Reunion Show. We wrap up by revealing the FOUR people who are returning to play again, and reveal which season we will be reacting to next.
