    Survivor S50 Finale--"We Did It, Aubry"

    Welcome Back to Escaping Reality! We made it to the finale of Season 50 and what a finale it was. Between the "live finale", the Jeff Vibe Check heard around the World, and the crowning of a new Sole Survivor, we have a lot of thoughts! Thanks for joining us through another journey through a survivor season. See you in the "Open Era", whatever the heck that means.

    Survivor 50, Ep. 12 Recap -- "Damn...Double Homicide"

    The penultimate episode of Survivor 50 left us feeling... not great. But it sure did leave us with a lot to talk about: what happened, what's going to happen, and a little bit 'what was it all for?' We're talking through how we got to this final 5 and what we can (barely) expect from them in the finale. What was meant to be a milestone season is gearing up to end with more of a fizzle than a bang, but we'll be EAGER to unpack the season as a whole once we see the final outcome!

    Survivor 50, Ep. 10 Recap -- Beast Mode

    The Beast™️ is coming!! If you listened to our thoughts in the lead up to the Mr Beast episode of Survivor 50, you would never have guessed we would have so many positive things to say about the episode in which he finally appeared...and yet, here we are with positive things to say! It's not all onion rings and toothpaste though, of course we still have our usual analysis and critiques. But, overall, this episode gave us SO much to love and talk about: an auction, an incredible tribal council, and a million more hilarious Joe reaction faces.

It's about time he tried out a challenge for himself!And of course we have our typical vibe checks for Jeff (although the episode kind of did that one for us), Castaways of the Week, and Rapid Fire (sort of).
