About this episode
The episode provides a comprehensive recap and analysis of Survivor 50, discussing key moments and future plans for the podcast.
We’re putting a bow on Survivor 50 with our highly anticipated post-mortem on the season. We’re taking your questions about the good, the bad and the Jonathan. We discuss where season 50 falls in Survivor history, Joe’s all-star turn, Aubry’s wonky winner edit and the limiting game design. We’re also looking ahead to the Open Era and discussing our plans for future recaps. For more Drop Your Buffs, including our upcoming Cook Islands rewatch, subscribe to our Substack .
