Survivor 31: Winning and Galu-sing -- Episode 5 Recap/Analysis

Things seemed to temporarily slow down this week on Survivor: Clam-bodia, or maybe Abi just lost her voice for a couple of days, but nonetheless we're back today to catch up on the latest happenings as well as check in on where some of our season-long theories currently stand. Does the newly formed Ta Keo alliance have a shot at staying together or are they destined to fracture? Was the Monica boot justifiable or was it a classic instance of Fancy Play Syndrome? What's our early forecast regarding next week's shocking twist? And, most importantly, how quickly can Dom backpedal on Jeremy? All that and more on this week's show, available below, here, and on iTunes here.

The Genius 4: Finale + Season Review with Kos

It's time to say goodbye to the greatest show in the genre, and it's hard to do it justice. We (mainly Colin) are indebted to Kos who always would chip in with hot takes and who joins us once again to settle some scores. How do the winner and the season stack up in the all-time RTV pantheon? Should we hope for the show to be revived, and would we even want that? And why is the Bangor public works department facing (wholly undeserved) criticism? All this and more on our final The Genius podcast, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

Is CHAMPION OF HEROES Andrew Savage merely Probstbait or is he legitimately the messiah? Is Stephen poised to rebound from a rocky start, and if not, how many more weeks can we justifiably keep asking ourselves that?
