Survivor 32: The Dara Initiative -- Episode 7 Recap/Analysis


Dr. Rupert has spoken, and now we're back to speak even more as we take a closer look at Part 1 of the Survivor merge. Is Nick a prototypical early juror or the next Boston Rob? Is production crossing a line in giving out antibiotics or should they have done so even sooner? With Neal and his idol out of the picture, might the target shift away from the Brains? And most importantly, after a breakout episode, is Aubry the new Michele? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

Survivor 32: Doctors Losing Patience -- Episode 6 Recap/Analysis


With the merge right around the corner, we're back today to discuss who's looking good as the game hits the halfway point and who needs a shoulder to stand on. Now that Peter's been lobotomized, are the Brains better off staying united or using their massive frontal lobes to come up with a fresh game plan?  After being decimated by variance, how might the Beauties rebound from here? And as the presumed swing votes for the time being, how can the Brawn tribe maintain that coveted position? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.
