Plz Survive

The Survivor 50 finale, Reverse the Curse, landed and the Plz Survive crew gets to explain to [no longer] newbie Molly that, no, spoiling the show within the show is not a finale staple. Jessica loses her mind over the absolute hilarity of Jonathan's exit interviews, Rob keeps his Aubry flag raised high and we all join the Tiffany fan club. We dole out one last round of advice to various Survivor entities and leave no criticism of the host unmentioned.Send or receive advice by emailing us: Contact@PLZsurvive.comFollow us on YouTube for video episodes:plzsurvive.comCheck us out on all of our socials:https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepodFollow Jess on threads:https://www.threads.com/@captainjrsFind out more about Rob:robschulte.comFind out more about Molly:mollymcaleer.comReferences:- SURVIVOR LIVE FINALE ERROR - How Jeff Probst Spoiled Part of the ‘Survivor’ Finale (NY Times)https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/arts/television/survivor-50-finale-spoiled-jeff-probst.htmlI Was in the Room When Survivor 50 Accidentally Spoiled Part of the Finale on Live TV.

Survivor had warned us that Everyone Will Be Shooketh, and yet we discuss being the furthest thing from it regarding one of the castaways who, after making the same crucial mistake that sent them packing over ten years ago, was voted out this week. We chat about the confusion around a few of the game mechanics, the challenge fail, and Boston Rob's prized pupil.Send or receive advice by emailing us: Contact@PLZsurvive.comFollow us on YouTube for video episodes:plzsurvive.comCheck us out on all of our socials:https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepodFollow Jess on threads:https://www.threads.com/@captainjrsFind out more about Rob:robschulte.comFind out more about Molly:mollymcaleer.comReferences:Survivor Contestant Jonathan Young Reveals 'Boston' Rob Mariano Trained Him for 4 Years Ahead of Season 50 - from People Mag (2026)https://people.com/survivor-jonathan-young-reveals-boston-rob-mariano-trained-him-4-years-exclusive-11921606Jonathan Young Details Emotional Letter Boston Rob Wrote Him Before ‘Survivor 50 from Men's Journal (2026)https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/jonathan-young-survivor-50-preseason-interviewSurvivor Game Changers: Why Did Ozzy Lusth Get Voted Out? from Surviving Tribal (2017)https://survivingtribal.com/2017/04/23/survivor-game-changers-ozzy-lusth-boot-breakdown/Survivor: Jeff Probst says 'I was wrong by several thousand miles' about Ozzy fromo Entertainment Weekly (2017)https://ew.com/tv/2017/04/20/survivor-jeff-probst-game-changers-ozzy-hali/Survivor: Micronesia's Ozzy: "I Didn't See It Coming" (interview with Ozzy) from TV Guide (2008)https://www.tvguide.com/news/survivor-micronesia-ozzy-39800/Emily's Unruly Game Could Save This Era of Survivor: In an age of superfans and students of the game, Emily's untameable personality is the agent of chaos this show deeply needs from Primetimer (2023)https://www.primetimer.com/features/survivor-45-no-man-left-behind-emily-chaos-agent16th Player Voted Out interviewyoutube.com/watch?v=Rxb0vEhTd6k&t=889s&pp=ygUXZXhpdCBpbnRlcnZpZXcgc3Vydml2b3I%3DSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We touch down on this historic episode of Survivor 50, where Jeff Probst himself finally takes his first stab at competing in a challenge. While we're still unsure on what it is he thinks he deserves, we do deliver a hearty serving a mockery and derision over the fact that it's taken until season 50 to test drive a challenge on his own show. Our annoyance with the honor and integrity crew increases as we wonder if they know what television show they're on, and Molly learns about jury management and the upcoming Surivor auction that Jessica and Rob think will be arriving next episode. Follow us on YouTube for video episodes:plzsurvive.comCheck us out on all of our socials:https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepodFollow Jess on threads:https://www.threads.com/@captainjrsFind out more about Rob:robschulte.comFind out more about Molly:mollymcaleer.comReferences:FAMOUS SURVIVOR RICE MOMENTS:Survivor Cagayan: J'Tia pours the rice in the fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG90v1qcAxwSurivor Redemption Island "Rice Wars"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFJ8EVWeOUASurvivor David vs Goliath: Angelina's rice negotiationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcThSLP4U1cSurivor Australian Outback: Castaways have to rescue the rice during a storm during the second seasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivVnpfZizkcAESTHETICS OF SURVIVOR:"Shooting Surivor" from Vertical Mag about filming helicopter scenes for Survivorhttps://verticalmag.com/features/shooting-survivor/"Reality TV Isn't Trash: The Editing of Survivor" from Film Inquiryhttps://www.filminquiry.com/the-editing-of-survivor/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jessica explains to newbie Molly that the way Jonathan and Coach play the game, is, well, That's Not How I Play Survivor, as Rob agrees, We chat about how it would be nice if the honorable men would stop yelling at the women and culturally appropriating Japanese culture for long enough to actually form some strategy. The Plz Survive trio takes a stab at mapping out the current alliances and enemies solidifying on the beach, and wonder what other option Aubry had for her very public idol, and ends with some advice for Jonthan and Coach, and suggestions for retroactively renaming the 40s seasons.Follow us on YouTube for video episodes:plzsurvive.comCheck us out on all of our socials:https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepodFollow Jess on threads:https://www.threads.com/@captainjrsFind out more about Rob:robschulte.comFind out more about Molly:mollymcaller.comReferences:NYT article from 2005 about Stephenie being on a Tribe of 1 on Survivor: Palauhttps://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/14/arts/television/and-now-a-survivor-first-a-tribe-with-one-member.htmlEW article from 2020 about Stephenie's experience on Survivor: Heroes vs Villains (included with raw footage of her memorable shoulder injury)https://ew.com/tv/survivor-stephenie-lagrossa-heroes-vs-villains/People Magazine article from 2026 where - embarassingly - Jonathan Young talks about how Boston Rob "trained" him for 4 years ahead of season 50https://people.com/survivor-jonathan-young-reveals-boston-rob-mariano-trained-him-4-years-exclusive-11921606Dee calls Rizo a "weasel"https://pagesix.com/2026/04/09/entertainment/survivor-50-star-dee-valladares-says-rizo-lied-to-her-during-pregame-call/Dee's post-game interview with Dalton Ross for EWhttps://ew.com/survivor-50-dee-valladares-reveals-major-post-game-cast-drama-interview-11946144See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this week's Plz Survive we wonder about the Open Wounds of Angelina losing her bestie last week in a blindside, the Open Wounds that wake Charlie up at dawn, how Aubry may be on her way to leaving hers behind, and the Plz Survive team discuss the Open Wounds of the female players at large about how they are being under-edited this season.Follow us on YouTube for video episodes:plzsurvive.comCheck us out on all of our socials:https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepodFollow Jess on threads:https://www.threads.com/@captainjrsFind out more about Rob:robschulte.comFind out more about Molly:mollymcaller.comReferences:Shout-out to the female players who are speaking up about the lack of women's voices on-screen this seasonAngelina's Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/angelina_keeley/p/DWZQQxtj-9e/?hl=enTiffany's Q&A on Youtube (where she gives herself deserved screen time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmWiR7oqnt8Chrissy's unaired scene where she actually speaks https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWRVj2HkhGE/?hl=enThe text of Chrissy's now-expired IG story: "I was there.

The Plz Survive trio asks each other "Did you vote for a tribe swap?," before breaking down the new iterations of the Survivor 50 tribes. We touch down on Emily short-circuiting, explain the audaciousness of Rizo's fanboy question, take a heat-check on the Genevieve and Aubrey feud, and finally, they wonder about which restaurant Ozzy worked at when he waited on Mike White.Want our advice?contact@PLZSURVIVE.comVideo episodes:https://plzsurvive.comLinks to all our socials:https://linktr.ee/PlzSurvivePodReferences:WATCH: Tyson give Coach the "don't wear feathers in your hair at tribal" scene from Heroes v Villainshttps://www.instagram.com/reels/DQFPfmGkvHJ/READ: a lengthy take on the scene at Mario Lanza's Funny 115http://funny115.com/v2/7.htmREAD: Entertainment Weekly article "Charlie Davis reveals conversations with Maria after controversial Survivor vote" from after the Survivor 46 finalehttps://ew.com/survivor-46-charlie-davis-interview-maria-8652760See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Plz Survive kicks off its inaugural season, covering the Mike White abs-sized premiere of Survivor 50. Following the first episode,"Epic Party," co-hosts Jessica, Molly and Rob dive into the mud and chat intital tribe divisions, the Billie Eilish boomerang idol, the great Colby Donaldson baby naming phenomenon of the early aughts, a pre-tribal scramble, iconic off-the-couch hero Cirie Fields, and more. With the wildly diverse perspectives and humor of a super-fan, a casual, and a Survivor virgin, the Plz Survive trio enters the fray to dissect the premiere episode of Survivor's historic 50th season.  Want our advice?contact@PLZSURVIVE.comVideo episodes: https://plzsurvive.comFollow us on social: https://www.instagram.com/plzsurvivepod/https://www.tiktok.com/@plzsurvivepodhttps://x.com/plzsurvivepodReferences: People Magazine covering Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick's Anti-Semitic comments:https://people.com/survivor-50-star-stephenie-lagrossa-kendrick-faces-backlash-anti-semitic-remarks-11794593Reddit link to watch the video of Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick's Anti-Semitic comments:https://www.reddit.com/r/survivorponderosa/comments/1mrq5uf/stephenie_responds_to_eliza/tA clip from the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode "The Survivor" from 2004 with Colby Donaldsonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KqDHFYcel8&t=3sAn archived article via Wayback Machine about Survivor baby nameshttps://web.archive.org/web/20180929171126/http://babynameinstitute.com/Blog/Survivor-Baby-Names.htmlEntertainment Weekly interview from 2000 with Jenna Lewis after her first season of Survivorhttps://ew.com/article/2000/07/30/ninth-survivor-was-ready-leave-island/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
