    Evan is away with Nicole Kidman this week, so we are joined by the equally iconic Kendra McQuarrie from Survivor 45! We are breaking down the "big" move from Kyle and Kamilla, potential winners' stories that are still satisfying and reflecting on the season as a whole. Plus, Kendra provides us with some exclusive insights into her season and how she would play going forward, and she stays to answer listener-submitted questions over on Substack!
