Season 46 Week 6 Recap
April 04, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBWe are merged! It has got to sting to be the one voted out just before the merge. Did they make the right choice? Who would you vote out: a shiesty player or savvy player? Which do you favor: Earn the Merge or Feast for All? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 6. Merged Tribe: Ben, Charlie, Hunter, Kenzie, Liz, ...
Season 46 Week 5 LF
March 30, 2024 23:05 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBThis episode was a hit with the fans. The Tribe Time was insightful, the Challenge was exciting and rewarding, the Journey hinted at strategic, long range planning and Tribal Council delivered a double fisted blindside! While many of us are not fans of the "earn the merge AKA Mergetory" concept, we are excited to see where the lines are drawn and look forward to seeing how the individual portion of the game progresses. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another gr...
Season 46 Week 5 Recap
March 28, 2024 04:05 - 55 minutes - 45.1 MBWhen would it ever be a good idea to have a strategic discussion with a potential weapon in your hands? What would your strategy be if you had a pre-merge HII and you ended up in Tribal Council? Would you play it or save it for later? How do you see the merge playing out? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Here is wh...

Season 46 Week 4 Recap
March 21, 2024 04:06 - 59 minutes - 48.1 MBYes, we're finally back to a standard, separate Reward and Immunity challenges this week. We enjoyed the tribe time with the exception of the excessive crying, sniffling, and groveling from one castaway. How small of a tribe is too small? Do you think they'll shuffle into two tribes now? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the mo...
Season 46 Week 3 LF
March 16, 2024 23:58 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBBased on the responses this week, most fans are not in favor of casting melodramatic, dysfunctional players, but there is a portion of the group that enjoys the entertainment a bumbling player can bring to the game. The medical evacuation left an unsatisfactory feeling for many fans, but the game continues, and we look forward to the next episode on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, M...
Season 46 Week 3 Recap
March 14, 2024 04:28 - 50 minutes - 40.6 MBWe are back to ninety minute episodes this week. This one was a roller coaster of emotions. We loved how the challenge played out, but were sad to see a player with potential have to leave for medical issues. Should players be allowed an overnight medical check? What do you think about people who say they are not there to win? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out be...
Season 46 Week 2 LF
March 10, 2024 00:29 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBThe second, two hour episode got mixed reviews from the fans. Some are thrilled to gain more insight into the complex social interactions in each tribe, while others are hungry for the return of the familiar episode pattern they know and love. We got several predictions for how it might play out next, and we're looking forward to the next episode on Wednesday!

Season 46 Week 2 Recap
March 07, 2024 05:40 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBWere you hoping for more deep dive tribe time? If so, your wish was surely granted with our second episode this season. We got more great insights into how each castaway is faring and how the alliances are developing. Were you satisfied with this week's boot? Will the losing tribe be able to turn it around next week, or are we in for more of the same? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopa...
Season 46 Week 1 LF
March 03, 2024 03:42 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBThe fans have spoken and this was one of the best, most favorable reactions we've had to a new cast in all of the post pandemic, "new era" seasons. Lots of us are thrilled to have the initial two hour episodes, but it's clearly not everyone's cup of tea. Two hours can be a lot to ask depending on how you watch and what you value in the show. There was however a clear consensus on the first boot. Now that is taken care of, we're excited and anxious to see how it all develops from here. We w...
Season 46 Week 1 Recap
February 29, 2024 07:15 - 1 hour - 66.2 MBWe really enjoyed the premiere. There were several standout players with potential for greatness and another handful of castaways that did not seem prepared at all. What did you think of the tribe balance, the first challenges, and the results from the first Tribal Council? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Here is ...

We're four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, February 28th, and fourteen super fans like you recorded their take on the new cast including their choice of favorites, who's most likely to get voted out first, make the merge, have a shot at the final tribal council as well as who has what it takes to win it all!

February 18, 2024 00:26 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBWelcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 46. Once again, we have all new players, so we have limited information to go on when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. Now it is your turn. We want to hear what you think about the 18 castaways and how you think they'll ...
Season 45 Finale LF
December 23, 2023 23:54 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBThe reviews are in, and the fans have spoken. They enjoyed the finale and this season. Some even labeled it the best of the new era.

We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Mary, Rebecca, Rashmi, Jack, Dustin, Drew, David, Kim, P...
Season 45 Finale Recap
December 21, 2023 06:47 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBWe thoroughly enjoyed the Finale. The challenges were classics and there was some attempts at strategy that stood out. Tribal council was solid and, the After Show was the After Show. In the end, we've really enjoyed sharing the season with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it as well. What did you think of the Finale challenges? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you happy with the end result? What Final Tribal Council questions stood out for you? How about the ...
Season 45 Week 12 LF
December 16, 2023 23:13 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBThe fans are seeing a clear front runner that's heads and shoulders above the rest, rapidly closing in on the win. It's also fun to imagine alternative scenarios, especially ones that include a come from behind, underdog story. We're here for all of it and can't wait for the finale on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Rebecca, Bianca-n-Haydn, Mary, Shahin, Drew, David, Parker,...
Season 45 Week 12 Recap

Season 45 Week 11 LF
December 09, 2023 23:35 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBThe results were mixed this week. Some fans enjoyed the episode, and others are lamenting the lack of any definitive, strategic gameplay. On paper, it looks like a classic Pagonging, but there does appear to be some slight cracks, so there's still hope for a surprise turn of events in the penultimate episode on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Rebecca, Jacqui, Rashmi, Nora, ...
Season 45 Week 11 Recap
December 07, 2023 05:04 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MB"You had one job"! Oh well, not everyone can be good at strategy. On the flip side, this probably opens the end game scenarios up quite a bit. Who do you think the jury is most impressed by at this point? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 11. Dakuwaqa Tribe: Austin, Dee, Drew, Jake, Julie, and Katurah. We've got ...
Season 45 Week 10 LF
December 03, 2023 00:44 - 1 hour - 86.8 MBWe kinda expected that to happen. The fans were hoping for more from this episode in the way of "big moves". This week's vote out had been anticipated for so long, that it made for a bit of a lackluster result. Thanks to some careful fan analysis of possible scenarios, there appears to be at least one more chance to avoid a full Pagonging. Fingers crossed for Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard fro...
Season 45 Week 10 Recap
November 30, 2023 05:11 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBFinally! The vote out this week was a major milestone, but who really benefited the most? The path forward seems hazy for many players at this stage. Do you think the majority alliance at final seven will hold strong? Who's really calling the shots? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 10. Dakuwaqa Tribe: Austin, Dee,...
Season 45 Week 9 LF
November 25, 2023 22:41 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBThe fans have spoken! They're looking for a shakeup, someone to emerge to challenge this dominant alliance of four that appears to be dictating the flow of the game. We're excited to see who might step forward and take control of the game to avert the Pagonging that is currently in progress. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Rashmi, Drew, David, Josh, Shahin, Rebecca, Chris, Jade-n-Chris...
Season 45 Week 9 Recap
November 23, 2023 05:53 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBOur heads are spinning. That was a lot of activities packed into a single day of the game! Another three way split at this stage of the game was a bit of a shocker. What did you think of the last two Individual Immunity face offs? Do you think anyone is sandbagging to lower their threat level? Has the final four already been decided? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impresse...
Survivor 45 Week 8 LF
November 19, 2023 02:14 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBIt's official. The return of the Survivor Auction was a hit! Several fans had recommendations for further improvements, but on the whole, it was great to have this favorite element return to the game. Speaking of favorites, we lost another in the vote out this week, but most agreed that was part of what made the blindside so exciting. Ever skeptical when it comes to removing votes, we're curious how it might have an impact on the power balance after it appeared that a dominant alliance took ...
Season 45 Week 8 Recap
November 16, 2023 04:46 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MBWe finally got our first, post merge episode where everyone but one castaway was vulnerable and we got to see the group dynamics at work. It took a while but it was nice to have the classic stage of the game fully underway now. Speaking of classics, what did you think about the return of the Auction? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impressed y...
Season 45 Week 7 LF
November 11, 2023 23:47 - 1 hour - 81 MBThe flip side of good casting is that the fans are deeply saddened when a favorite castaway leaves the game. Feedback this week says we got a double dose of that, albeit for different reasons. We are all anxious to see if they found a fix for the Auction, and if we will see the emergence of a women's alliance. We can't wait for Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Rebecca, Justin...
Season 45 Week 7 Recap
November 09, 2023 05:27 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBThe double elimination at this stage in the game really had an impact this season. We enjoyed seeing a classic challenge return. It's clearly one of the more difficult ones, and the stakes were high with a built in hero moment at the end. What's the chance that we see a women's alliance this season? What do you think about the return of the Survivor Auction? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and w...
Season 45 Week 6 LF
November 04, 2023 23:41 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBWe have, unfortunately, experienced some significant lows this season, but the feedback is loud and clear on this episode. This was a clear fan favorite. That tends to happen when we get to experience a historic moment in the show. The challenge and ensuing Tribal Council really delivered. We're excited about the possibilities in the next double elimination and already looking forward to Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback...
Season 45 Week 6 Recap
November 02, 2023 03:53 - 52 minutes - 48 MBIt's "earn the merge" time for Season 45! We enjoyed getting to see all 13 of the remaining castaways scrambling to find new footing in the larger group. What did you think about the alliance choices? How would you manage if everyone was literally out to get you? Is there any way to return from that? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impressed y...
Season 45 Week 5 LF
October 28, 2023 22:19 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBEveryone was thrilled that we had a normal episode. Folks were mixed on how they would have responded to the Sustenance vs. Strategy advantage. As we head into the Merge or Mergatory, several targets seem likely, and we're excited to see how it plays out when the castaways are all together on one beach. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Justin, Rebecca, Rashmi, Jack, David, Drew, David, ...
Season 45 Week 5 Recap
October 26, 2023 03:39 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MBHave you noticed how much better an episode is when we don't have quitters? What a relief. This was another interesting one with lots of great Tribe Time and the introduction of another advantage that powers up in stages. Will it spark teamwork or some classic Survivor treachery? Is it really a merge? If so, how will they have to earn it this time? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy...
Season 45 Week 4 LF
October 22, 2023 00:40 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBUnfortunately, the last episode gave us our second quitter of the season. In spite of that, there were some highlights worth celebrating, and the super fans showed up this week to hash it all out. Now that it's behind us, we're ready for the next installment on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Shahin, Rebecca, Rashmi, Nora, Jack, Dan, David, Denise, Justin, David, Parker, Kim...
Season 45 Week 4 Recap
October 19, 2023 04:27 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBJokes on us. We thought we were done with this kind of thing. But nope, the latest eliminated castaway decided they wanted to mine the bottom of the barrel for some additional disappointments to heap on this season. Well, aside from the ending, what did you think of this episode? How do you think the tribe shuffle will affect the game going forward? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopard...

Season 45 Week 3 Recap
October 12, 2023 04:15 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBIn a game where you can trust no one, but have to trust someone, it's always fascinating to see how players build these connections. This episode could have been titled, "Trustbuilding 101". It was certainly a central theme in the development of the social game for all three tribes. What are you hoping we see in the coming tribal shuffle? Who do you think will best be able to manage the transition? What did you think of the new advantages? How did your assessment of the castaways change on...
Season 45 Week 2 LF
October 08, 2023 03:33 - 1 hour - 68.5 MBThe fans are thrilled with the changes so far this season. We're loving the intro, the new puzzles, the update to the challenge sit out rule, and the change at shipwheel island that lets you keep your vote. The extra tribe time is much appreciated, and it's great to get confessionals from everyone. Good job production team! We appreciate and approve the changes. All this goodness has us excited for the next episode. Bring it on! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to ...
Season 45 Week 2 Recap
October 05, 2023 04:21 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBNow we're cooking! The longer episode gave us some good views of how each tribe is progressing. We really liked the changes so far this season from the new puzzle to being back to not forcing the loss of votes for the advantage island trips. What did you think about the return of "Previously on Survivor" and the classic intro video? When's the best time to do a tribe shuffle? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, ...
Season 45 Week 1 LF
October 01, 2023 01:18 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBIt's great to be back, but the premiere ended on a sour note for some of us. In any case, it's time again to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the whole, first episode of season 45. We had some interesting twists, what turned out to be some interesting casting choices, and plenty of what we love about the show. Overall, feedback was optimistic for the season, and we are happy to be back together, discussing our favorite show again. We can't wait for Wednesday night when we get the next in...
Season 45 Week 1 Recap
September 28, 2023 04:32 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBOK, we clearly didn't see that coming. There were some classic, season opener moments, but the ending really laid an egg. What did you think about the change to the Sweat + Savvy challenge? Will they be able to shake the stink from that first Tribal Council? Is there hope yet for season 45? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge?

Season 44 Week 12 Recap
May 18, 2023 04:18 - 50 minutes - 46 MBWow, the penultimate episode went by fast. We got a full, two day game cycle with separate Reward and Immunity challenges and it still seemed like we zipped right through it. What did you think of this week's vote out? How would you have played it? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and what's your final five order?

Season 44 Week 11 LF
May 14, 2023 00:44 - 1 hour - 78.1 MBThere's a bit of a division brewing in the fan base. Either you're all aboard for the most featured player of the season, or the show's coming up lacking since the coverage of others is once again, shallow. We're looking forward to seeing if the underdogs can hold it together for another round of the game, and can't wait for another dose of our favorite show on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard f...
Season 44 Week 11 Recap
May 11, 2023 03:16 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBDid you hear that collective gasp? Another fan favorite joined the jury. If your alliance left you out of a critical vote, how long and what would it take for you to recover? Would you be able to rebound and rebuild the trust in time for the next vote? What would your plan be to manage your emotions? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most? ...
Season 44 Week 10 LF
May 06, 2023 23:04 - 1 hour - 92.5 MBThe consensus from the fans is clear. You DO NOT want to win a reward challenge that can trigger resentment from those not chosen to attend, especially when it involves letters from home. Many were sad to see another fan favorite join the jury, and fret that we might end up with a flat finale if this trend continues. In any case, we are excited to see how the game develops in the next episode on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener ...
Season 44 Week 10 Recap
May 04, 2023 03:25 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBIt's an age old, strategic Survivor question, "Should you try and win a challenge when you know you are guaranteed to make some people happy and others angry when you have to decide who will join you on a Reward?" These do not usually end well for the winner. What would you do? We're down to seven now. Who's social game is coming up short? Who will be the swing vote in the next Tribal? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing t...
Season 44 Week 9 LF
April 30, 2023 02:09 - 1 hour - 94.3 MBThe fans continue to ask, "How is making the castaways starve to the point of degraded gameplay the recipe for great TV moments"? Nobody's buying it.
