Sean and Ricard are back to discuss the unpredictable week of Australian Survivor Brains V Brawn 2, where only one player was voted out. AJ's strategy is faltering as he struggles to maintain control while targeting Paulie. Noonan's exit raises questions about her gameplay, while Myles gains power through his strategic flexibility and potential future power thanks to some handy tools.

Tensions rise as Laura’s paranoia leads to some insider information, complicating her friendship with Zara. PD takes a scary beating from the Brawn Killer, Kaelan.

In the Drop Your Buffs Survivor 47 finale recap, Sean and Evan celebrated Rachel's win while critiquing the predictable format, the fire-making challenge, and Sue’s underwhelming age reveal. They lamented the absence of early boots like John Lovett from the finale and called for changes in casting and editing to revive Survivor's character-driven magic. The duo praised Rachel's gameplay but highlighted how modern Survivor's strategy-heavy edit leaves winners less memorable. Speculation on Jeff Probst's scent (Caesar salad?) and a call for the wind-and-fire emoji in honor of Teeny’s fire-making struggle kept the recap lively.

Come on over to the Sugar Shack because Jessica "Sugar" Kiper is joining us to take a deep dive into her 39 days on Survivor Gabon! Sugar talks about her unconventional recruitment to Survivor, a bizarre reward that we didn't see enough of on TV and the strategy that led to her being the only Survivor contestant to never receive a single vote during a season. We're also talking about Bob, Randy and the fake idol of it all, the dynamic duo that was Crystal and Kenny and, yes, Corinne. Sugar also tells us about her brief time on Heroes vs Villains and fills us in on what happened before and after her game in season 20. Plus, we talk about her acting career and what she's up to now.

We're dissecting everything we know about this so-called "new era" of Survivor- monsters, danger, starvation and 26 days! We're also doing a full analysis of the castaways and tribes. And, yes, we will make the mistake of predicting a winner and a first boot.

DROP YOUR BUFFS welcomes the legendary Ozzy Lusth of Survivor Cook Islands, Micronesia, South Pacific and Game Changers! An absolute icon of the game, Ozzy is a record-holding challenge beast, the first victim of the Black Widow Brigade, and an all-around Hero (despite not actually being cast as one, but more on that in our discussion). Ozzy is telling us about his relationship with Amanda post-Micronesia, the final tribal vote he regrets casting, what it was like being present for J*ff V*rner's last tribal ever (we hope) and giving us his thoughts on the future of Survivor. And yes, we're definitely talking about OnlyFans.
