Survivor 24 + TAR premiere review

Click to enlarge.  Highly recommended.

Better late than never, we are going solo this week to talk about last week's Survivor and - for the first time - the Amazing Race, featuring podcast favourites Brenchel among others. Were breasts really the reason the women lost the challenge? Is Colton gay? What does Colin have against British accents? Some of these questions are answered in this week's episode, available here or on iTunes here.

Survivor 24: Premiere podcast ft. Gary Wise

For this episode we are joined by ESPN's Gary Wise to talk about the Survivor: One World premiere. How has the 'One World' twist worked out so far, and how do we see it affecting the game in weeks to come? Who's looking hot (or not) as winner picks right now, and whose draft has been derailed already? What does 'ambience' actually mean? All that, and more, in this week's show, available here on its own and with all previous episodes on our iTunes page here.

Survivor 24: Season preview podcast ft. Empire Man

Welcome back! Thank you for joining us for the first of hopefully many podcasts to come during the new Survivor season. For this episode we are joined by a guest (known to 2+2 forum regulars as Empire Man) to assess the cast and give our predictions for the season in a extended-length episode. You can listen to it here; and if you haven't yet, you can subscribe to us on iTunes to automatically receive future podcasts.

We plan to do a podcast every week recapping the events of the most recent episode and occasionally covering specific topics in more detail; we may do additional episodes on certain subjects from time to time. Additionally, we have some interesting guests lined up for this season, including potentially some former contestants; we'll reveal more about that as the time approaches. For now, enjoy the show and enjoy the season!

Survivor 23: South Pacific retrospective with Jim Rice

We are thrilled to be joined for this podcast by Survivor: South Pacific's Jim Rice, in the first of what we hope will be many interviews with former cast members. We talk to Jim about his experiences with Survivor, from watching and applying for the show to being cast and playing the game. He gives us the lowdown on everything that happened, revealing interesting unaired information, and explains his strategy at every point, including his plans for a Savaii endgame. The podcast can be found here or on iTunes here.

Survivor 23: Season review & gameplay discussion ft. Gordon Holmes

Merry Christmas everyone! To kick off the holiday season we look back at Survivor: South Pacific with xfinity.tv writer Gordon Holmes, who was on location for the pre-game interviews and got to watch the first few days play out. Afterwards, we look back at the season - in particular, Sophie's win - from a historical perspective, answering questions such as: Where does Sophie rank among winners? Can this ranking be done? How? What makes a good player? All this, and more, in an extended-length podcast available HERE and HERE (the Gordon interview is first; the gameplay segment starts at roughly 1hr 10).

We will definitely be podcasting about the next season of Survivor, starting in February, and we hope to put out some content during the off-season as well. We'll post a schedule for the next few weeks when we've decided what we're doing; to stay updated, follow us on Twitter. Until then, enjoy the holidays! Follow @colinstone Follow @MC_Usher

Survivor 23: Pre-finale podcast

In less than 24 hours, the winner of Survivor: South Pacific will be crowned. For this podcast, Colin and I take a look at the players left in the game and assess their chances of winning, before talking about our feelings about the season in general. You can download it here or here.

Sometime next week we'll be recording a post-season review podcast with xfinitytv writer Gordon Holmes, and we'll be posting a tentative schedule for the offseason soon. As always, if you have comments you can reach us here or on Twitter. Enjoy the podcast, and enjoy the finale!

Plan A: Podcast; Plan B: Podcast.

First of all, AMAZING episode last night.

On the next podcast, Dom and I will be going over the last two episodes of Survivor and looking ahead to the season finale.  We plan on recording today (Thursday) or tomorrow.  It appears as though we have the audio issues totally figured out, so the turnaround shouldn't be long between recording and posting the new show on here.

After the finale this Sunday, we'll be doing a season-in-review episode, and we're happy to announce that for that episode, we'll be joined by Survivor Hall of Fame creator and Xfinity TV correspondent Gordon Holmes to break down the finale and take a look back at the season as a whole.

In the meantime, follow us on Twitter for hilarious banter and podcast updates (@colinstone and @MC_Usher) or check out the 2+2 thread.
