Reverse the Curse

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.

Inconceivable

This week on Plz Survive we chatter on about the Survivor 50's penultimate episode, "Inconceivable," as Jessica finds herself inconsolable about these torch snuffings. Molly reveals this podcast is not a member of the Jeff fan club. We also mourn on the departures of arguably two of the most seminal characters of the season - the audacious entertainer Rick Devens and the godmother of the beach, Cirie.

Everyone Will Be Shooketh!

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.

A Side Dish Of Chaos

We meet Jimmy, a boy from the Internet who sells chocolate bars to make a little extra cash, and find out he's brought a portion of that cash to the set of Survivor 50. We also find out Molly's thoughts on watching her first auction, Rob asks where the show-mances are (he's such a Romber), and Jessica - instead of serving a side dish of chaos - this week as her advice, turns up the flame and serves an entree of advice to Jeff.

I Deserve All of This

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.com [https://plzsurvive.com/] Check us out on all of our socials: https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepod [https://linktr.ee/plzsurvivepod] Follow Jess on threads: https://www.threads.com/@captainjrs [https://www.threads.com/@captainjrs] Find out more about Rob: robschulte.com [https://robschulte.com/] Find out more about Molly: mollymcaleer.com [https://mollymcaleer.com/] References: FAMOUS SURVIVOR RICE MOMENTS: Survivor Cagayan: J'Tia pours the rice in the fire  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG90v1qcAxw [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG90v1qcAxw] Surivor Redemption Island "Rice Wars" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFJ8EVWeOUA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFJ8EVWeOUA] Survivor David vs Goliath: Angelina's rice negotiation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcThSLP4U1c [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcThSLP4U1c] Surivor Australian Outback: Castaways have to rescue the rice during a storm during the second season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivVnpfZizkc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivVnpfZizkc] AESTHETICS OF SURVIVOR: "Shooting Surivor" from Vertical Mag about filming helicopter scenes for Survivor https://verticalmag.com/features/shooting-survivor/ [https://verticalmag.com/features/shooting-survivor/] "Reality TV Isn't Trash: The Editing of Survivor" from Film Inquiry https://www.filminquiry.com/the-editing-of-survivor/ [https://www.filminquiry.com/the-editing-of-survivor/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
