    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. Someone let us choose themed seasons and future challenges!

    “Early Birds Catch the Immunity Idol” (S44 E12)

    “Early Birds Catch the Immunity Idol” (S44 E12)

    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.

    "I Would Love to Sh!t in the Ocean" (S44 E11)

    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?

    "The Doink Tribe" (S44 E9)

    "The Doink Tribe" (S44 E9)

    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!)

    "A Fart Dissertation" (S44 E8)

    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. We chat strategy, romances, and of course, the fart heard round Fiji. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

Jenniferruth ,

I dig this alliance!

I’ve been a patron of RHAP for years, and I will always love Rob. I also love this fresh, fun take on Survivor! It’s great to hear from two funny, happy people. I also like that they don’t already know everything about Survivor. It’s refreshing to hear new takes. Keep it up ladies.

I align strongly with this Podcast

Lida and Jenny are the dolls. They have great guests. They spice up the recap with hot takes and alliances, they have bits and rapport and genuinely it’s a brilliant pod!!! Listen if you love Survivor, love tv, and/or if you love yourself okay!!!!!!!?!
