About this episode

Jeff, Jay, and Jeremy discuss the recent tribe swap in Survivor 49 and its implications on gameplay.

Jeff, Jay and Jeremy are back to discuss the tribe swap that shook up the game. First, Jeff details why they formed two new tribes of seven and Jeremy gives his take on how these larger tribes compare to the old era game. Then, if you lose a shoe, what happens? Jeff explains why that's a YP, not an MP, in Survivor. Later, the reward that left Sophie feeling like a banana just wasn't enough, and why fruit is great for now, and not for later. Plus, Jeff explains how the latest beware advantage works with a tribe swap and Jeremy details his strategy for how to handle being on the bottom of a swapped tribe. As always, the gang answers your questions, including Jeff's thoughts on the idea of "Golden" Survivor.
