    May 15 2020
    Hello, and welcome to Survivor Brothers, the ultimate unofficial podcast from your friends at TV Guide. In this episode, bros Fox Van Allen and Lance Cartelli hit the work-from-home studios one more time to break down "It All Boils Down To This," (S40E14), the stunning season finale of Survivor: Winners at War. Join them as they discuss all the incredible moves that make Tony Vlachos the greatest of all time, and the repeated mistakes that cost Natalie Anderson the win. Plus, did Michele Fitzgerald get cheated out of a deserved second-place finish? The bros also discuss the epic final four fire making challenge between Tony and Sarah Lacina (or just Lacina for short), the respectable real-world reason why Ben Driebergen gave up his game at final five, and whether 16-year-olds have any place competing on the next season of Survivor.

    May 8 2020
    Hello, and welcome to Survivor Brothers, the ultimate unofficial podcast from your friends at TV Guide. This week, Survivor-obsessed bros Fox Van Allen and Lance Cartelli discuss "The Penultimate Step of the War," S40E13 of Survivor: Winners at War. In these crucial final days of the game, Sarah doubles down on her alliance with Ben and Tony (to her doom?), while Nick Wilson sends himself to the Edge of Extinction using his own damn advantage. Plus, can Jersey Michele Fitzgerald -- or any of the remaining people in the game -- do anything to stop Tony Vlachos from winning $2 million in a cakewalk? And can anyone stop Natalie Anderson from waltzing back into the game? As always, thanks for listening!

This week, Fox Van Allen and Lance Cartelli go in on "Friendly Fire" (S40E12), discussing the continued Immunity challenge dominance of Tony Vlachos over the entire field of Survivor: Winners at War, Kim Spradlin's $2 million decision to eat peanut butter (it did look tasty, though), and the whisper-filled Tribal Council that Denise Stapley was so totally over. Then, stay tuned until the end of the episode, where Lance names his Winners and Losers of the Week (sorry, Spy Nest). Thanks for listening!

    Welcome to another episode of Survivor Brothers, the ultimate unofficial podcast from your friends at TV Guide. This week, the bros go deep into Tony Vlachos' incredible performance in "This Is Extortion," S40E11 of Survivor: Winners at War, from his crazy last-minute play at tribal council that snuffed Sophie Clarke's torch to the extortion scheme that set Tony up for his success. It was epic Survivor gameplay and peak Vlachos madness -- but will it all come back to haunt Tony in the end? And stay tuned until the very end of the episode, where Fox and Lance discuss all the remaining players in the game and decide whether they're contenders for the $2 million grand prize... or just pretenders destined for the Edge of Extinction.

    Welcome to another episode of Survivor Brothers, the ultimate unofficial podcast from your friends at TV Guide! This week, the bros discuss "The Full Circle," S40E10 of Survivor: War of the Winners, and the epic five-on-five tribal council shootout that turned into a five-on-four mismatch when Jeremy Collins abandoned his alliance and noped out of tribal council. He's safe, but did he blow his shot at $2 million? Plus, the bros discuss Sarah Lacina's steal-a-vote move that got into Kim Spradlin's head (and why it was absolutely genius). And, of course, the bros discuss the most epic Survivor family visit ever and the many, many, many times they cried watching the episode. Thanks for listening.

    Hello everyone, and welcome to Season 2, Episode 13 of Survivor Brothers: The Ultimate Unofficial podcast from your friends at TV Guide. This week, your Survivor obsessed hosts discuss Survivor: Winners at War, "War is Not Pretty," (S40E9), Adam Klein's absolutely unforgettable tribal council moment, and the deeper, super-fan reasoning behind his attempt to play a decorative piece of Jeff Probst's voting podium as a hidden immunity idol. Think something like that couldn't happen on Survivor? Well, Adam Klein himself explained on Twitter exactly how long he had been eyeing the non-idol idol -- and where he'd seen an idol hidden like that before. Then, stay tuned as bros discuss Sarah Lacina's boneheaded birthday gift to Nick Wilson. Plus, the peanut butter strategy returns to the Edge of Extinction thanks to Parvati Shallow. You can catch all this and more on this week's episode of Survivor Brothers! Thanks for listening.
