The pre-merge episode was...a bit of a snooze. But that doesn't mean we've got any shortage of things to talk about on the pod this week! Charlie still thinks we're set up for an exciting individual game, and we look at all the moving pieces leading up to it! Plus more OOF with our favorite episode of "On Fire" yet! Find us on Twitter @COISurvivorPod

The introduction of a new post-trek advantage is the main feature of today's episode and the boys have a LOT to say about the tribe swaps and pre-merge idols. There's also plenty to discuss with more fake idol chaos, dings for Josh and Matthew, as well as a continued look at gender imbalance in the early game of Survivor with the fourth woman voted out in a row. Find us on twitter @COISurvivorPod

Despite a segment on worm-eating and a rendition of "O Canada" by Kane, Charlie and Ethan find no shortage of things to talk about as season 44 gets off and running. We're talking people playing too hard, the chaos of fake idols, and if modern-day Survivor puts women at a disadvantage early. Plus, a Catch-Up Corner and Fired Up/OOF segment that are both full to the brim! Find us on Twitter @COISurvivorPod

Much like Matt and Frannie, you cannot deny the magnetic pull you have towards our podcast!

It's finale time for Season 43 and everything played out exactly as we expected! ::record scratch:: Well, almost exactly as we expected. We're coming at you this week to try to make sense of the Gabler win, the Cassidy snub, the egos of the jury, the fire making challenge, the role of final tribal, and much more!

It's the penultimate episode of Season 43 and with it comes the biggest move and blindside of the season! We've got tons to talk about as we lead up to the finale! What percentage chance does Jesse have to win? If he's not in the final three, who has the best shot at the million dollars? And why oh why did Cody give back his idol!?   Find us on twitter @COISurvivorPod

Despite Ethan's feelings about this week's episode, there is still MUCH to discuss about season 43: the unprecedented double immunity win, the difference between playing from the bottom or the top at final 7, Karla's tenacity, and Jesse's performance thus far as possibly the greatest dominant showing from a player in survivor history! Find us on twitter: @COISurvivorPod

We've got another "calm before the storm" episode with a double challenge week, pizza under the stars, an incredible come-from-behind victory before an inevitable vote-out, Jesse's Blindside Checklist, and a first time in COIS history: Ethan in total agreement with Charlie's end of episode power rankings!  Find us on twitter: @COSurvivorPod

Last week's episode was certainly the calm before the storm of this week's DOUBLE ELIMINATION! We've got a ton to talk about with the Owen vs James blow-up, Jesse playing out the counterfactual of tribal council, Sami bringing Karla in on the vote, and of course new power rankings and paths forward! Find us on Twitter (while it lasts): @COISurvivorPod

It's a light week on Survivor but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty for the boys to discuss in terms of light touches from Karla, when to get out Ryan and Gabler, and when the right time for James and Noelle to use their advantages!

PLUS, all new power rankings (now with fancy titles) and Charlie makes good on his promise for lots of social media/island puns! Find us on twitter: @COISurvivorPod

As Jesse said, phase 1 of the game is over, and our players are moving to phase 2: the merge!

And what will the dynamics be next week once the tribes merge? All this and more! How To Get That Presidential Look Twitter: @COISurvivorPod

As far as we can tell there are two big Survivor Firsts this episode: a tribe overtly helping another to win immunity with no prior connections and a person letting paranoia get the better of them to the point that their alliance immediately decides to take them out that night! All this and more to unpack this week PLUS a greater discussion of sexism and gender as it relates to competition. Check out our new twitter handle: @COISurvivorPod
