Come On In, Queens

This episode could've been shorter. But we had Stef-splaining, a boot and rally, and Jeff gooning over Mr. Beast - grossHow about Aubrey downing grubs heads and all? Cirie is vomiting in the bushes, Joe is on his moral high horse again and Devens decides the best strategy is simply: blow this sh@t upLiked the episode, could've done 90% less BEAST. Thanks for tuning in, queens!

Come on in, queens! This one is called “I Deserve All of This." (Not Jonathan, gross) Christian goes on a Jimmy Fallon -sponsored punishment tour (why, Survivor? no one asked for this), Cirie schools Emily on rice but honestly, the rice boats were a lot. Meanwhile, Jeff decides he’s a contestant now and jumps into the challenge like he’s been waiting 25 years for his moment (he has). On the bright side, we liked seeing him in full squat.

Come on in, queens! This one was kind of a mess - Winnie was taking phone calls and Jacob was literally ejected from his chair (thankfully we kept this fall in, get ready). Either way, this was an amazing episode of Survivor: chaotic pairings, Coach lying in third person, Cirie on a coconut finding spiritual journey, and a double elimination that said “clean up your alliances immediately.” Add in spaghetti-fueled bonding, Survivor is back.

Come on in, queens! This episode has everything: Tiffany delivering burn book reads, Coach spiraling into haikus and “honor” delusion, and Rizzo coaching the coach on how to play Survivor. AND we got an alliance called “Cirie’s Rizzard of Oz”… yeah, we’ve got a lot to unpack.

A blood moon rises and Jeff, the used car salesman, tries to sell us a rebranded merge-atory like it's something new and GROUNDBREAKING. It's not, grandpa. Honestly, it fell really flat and we didn't love this episode. So. we talked about no heat curling, sex on the beach, and a player who really got the shaft this season - and not the good kind. Also, covering Angelina's very real exit press this week. Survivor, we need you to get a grip.

Come on in, queens! Get on out, Jeff the impersonation comic. We've found the real theme of this season. Survivor: PTSD. Ozzie relives his Survivor slash Cochran trauma, Charlie continues to spiral around Maria trauma, and Coach is well, FORMING ANOTHER CULT. We're disagreeing on whether Christian said 'polly pussy pants or 'pissy pants' (both wrong, it was 'polly prissy pants') and agreeing with Angelina around the lack of female voices this season. Also, diving into what we're both listening to...

Wow, did we need a full concert by Zac Brown? No, we did not. Did we need the straight men on the honor and integrity team creaming their shorts over listening him sing? Also, no. We're talking Ozzie's poncho, catching Jacob up on what gooning is, talking the tornado that is Emily, and the fall of the DvG alliance. Come on in, queens!

Come on in, queens! Get on out, Jeff the rapper. Blech. A fan-voted tribe swap throws the game into chaos as alliances scramble, Cirie tries to survive on a shaky new tribe with Rizz-God (lord help her), and Emily continues her reign as the island’s messiest strategist.

Another episode so good, we're sharting our khakis. We talk relief of hearing castaways call out Joe's game of honor, Christian's commitment to the bit, and Q's underwear. You know, all the important bits. Aubrey, that dive looked like it hurt. Survivor, the highlight of our week!

YOU PINKY PROMISED! We’ve reached end of season 4 of the traitors with an excellent episode of television. There's a helicopter date, I mean mission, that ends with a jump into the loch, Johnny and Tara's putting all the pieces together in the final stretch, and Maura... well being very Maura.Then at the reunion, Andy Cohen shows up, the cast relives their trauma, and Rob offers to buy Maura a Birkin bag?Faithfuls, it was never your game. Tell us what you thought!

We’re back to celebrate our 25 year love of Survivor with a recap of the 3 hour premier! (did we need that long to tell this story?) That said, we are definitely excited because the premier delivered.Twenty-four players hit the beach and Cirie is somehow still everyone’s target, UGH! We're conflicted about the celebrity interference (sorry, Billie) and the new era twists, but are having fun watching legends of the game and new favs participate in games of Jenga. Watch Savanah continue her Tracey Flick game, Genevieve hit the ground running, Mike White turn up with abs, and Cirie and Ozzie turn up the charm. Ozzy you must drop the loyalty game, we beg of you. Survivor is back!

The Faithfuls continue to look for clues… that just never lead to Rob. Eric spirals under Traitor stress while Rob manspreads his way through suspicion. We're loving the Johnny and Tara duo, but is this season losing steam with the big personalities out? Faithfuls... “You blew it!”

Here we are again talking about The Traitors episode 8 - The Queen Never Comes Off Her Trone (if Maura said it). Winnie is still in full appreciation of Rob's gameplay and Jacob is feeling the ick. It was full Candiace v Rob this episode and it definitely brought some entertaining moments. We're talking end game - is there any other outcome than Rob winning? Could any of these faithful's turn it around at this point? Will they all take gulps of Rob's bathwater??? Hot. TREE OUTTA TREE

Episode 7 is here -The Black Banquet 🍷🖤 and honestly… maybe a little over-hyped, but the looks, the drama, and the twists still delivered.This week, we break down the chaos of the banquet, the quietly iconic fashion moments, and the power shifts that actually matter. Winnie is officially a full-blown Rob stan, while Jacob is heading in the opposite direction, side-eyeing the growing 'bromance' and the very real trend of turning on our favorite icons.We’re gaming out what a Rob win or a Candiace win could really look like from here, and why the endgame is starting to feel a lot messier for the traitors than expected.

We were Come On In Fucking Queens before Episode 6, and we were Come On In Fucking Queens after — but wow, did this episode take us to entertaining places. We’re recapping a truly electric showdown between Colton and Lisa, peak tension, peak drama - Lisa is channeling Billie from Days of Our Lives. The game is officially heating up and if this banquet is half as unhinged as it looks, we are not surviving next week

We’re back to recap The Traitors Season 4, Episodes 4 & 5, and things officially go off the rails. From the ongoing obsession with Scotland’s life-changing salmon, to deranged theories about identifying traitors by their footsteps... Faithfuls, are you ok? We break down Tiffany’s iconic/sad exit, Colton’s aggressive gameplay (did you know he played football?) and losing our girl Monet too soon. Come on in!

We’re back to recap a wild premiere with Episodes 1–3 of The Traitors, and casting has truly done it again. We’re loving almost everyone on this cast (love to hate Michael), and these first three episodes were such a fun ride. Between the standout traitor selections, new twists, and genuinely exciting challenges, this season came out swinging and our bodies are ready for an excellent season. Come on IN!

We’re back after Jacob’s tooth drama last week, ignore the lisp. This episode is a supersized deep dive into the three hour finale (two hours and nine minutes without commercials). From Sophie absolutely dominating the end game, to an all female final three, to Savannah’s epic and honestly not surprising win. We’re also sharing our very first reactions to Season 50 and… it’s not great. Happy holidays everyone. We’ll see you in two weeks to recap Traitors 4.

We're back to recap the highs and lows of Survivor 49 Episode 11 — but first, we must discuss the dramatic finale of Squid Game: The Challenge and viral, sexed up queer show Heated Rivalry. Then we dive into Episode 11 itself, how this endgame is shaping up, the “strenuous” journey, the lackluster challenges, and why we’re still pulling for some of the players. Come on in!

We’re back to recap Episode 10 of Season 49 and things are finally starting to heat up. This week we dig into Savannah’s intensity as she fully embraces her inner villain, sit with the very real grief Christina is navigating, and share our not so subtle hopes for an all female final three. The gameplay is sharpening, the emotions are raw, and the season is officially picking up steam. Come on in, Season 49.

We’re back for another Survivor recap, breaking down this week’s episode: “If you’re loyal to all, you’re loyal to none.”Plus, we're chatting Squid Games: The Challenge, diving into the drama around ratings, the Season 50 premiere announcement, and Jeff’s very Jeff response (or… non-response) to Matt Rogers’ “I Don’t Think So, Honey.”

Jacob and Winnie sit down with the incredible Caroline Courtis - finalist from Australian Survivor: Titans vs. Rebels. Caroline is a beautiful human and one of those rare people who radiates both strength and softness - she’s kind, warm, tough as nails, and never afraid to speak her mind or show vulnerability. Caroline opens up about people-pleasing, self-identity, and the lessons learned through gameplay, before reflecting on fan energy and a fun rapid-fire round to close.

In this conversation, somatic practitioner and friend of the pod Kallie Klug breaks down the patterns of fawning and people-pleasing, showing how they’re rooted in trauma and shape our relationships. She shares tools for tuning into the body, setting boundaries, and even embracing our “bad side" drawing from her and Parvati's course, How Villains Are Made.We also talk Survivor, exploring how players navigate being seen as “villains,” how people-pleasing plays out in the game, and why women are often judged more harshly for behaviors that men get away with

Kirby is celebrated for her charm, her bold and aggressive gameplay, and the kind of magnetic energy that keeps us all talking.This episode, we’re diving into the hard-hitting topics: what it really smells like at camp, the art of making yourself small, self-acceptance, and of course, a healthy dose of Survivor strategy.

We’re back for part 2 of our horror deep dive and this time, we’re unpacking the cult chaos of Sleepaway Camp. From jaw-dropping twists to... well, Judy. We’re breaking it all down with a Survivor twist. Join us as we chug energy drinks, embrace our inner weirdos, and cast your favorite (and least favorite) Survivor legends into classic slasher archetypes. Who’s the Final Girl? Who gets scalded by corn water? Who is the killer?

Our dear friend and horror aficionado, Johnny Marth, drops by to take us on a bloody good journey through the history of the final girl. Drawing from deep horror knowledge and Men, Women, and Chainsaws, we unpack the evolution of this iconic trope, the rise of queer characters in the genre, and why the gays have always loved a good slasher.
