Brett & Dani are back after a mini-hiatus to catch back up with #Survivor47. Since we podded last, Anika, Rome & Tiyana were sent home. We chat about Rome's off-putting villainy and why it's always best to not be dropping too many names on Survivor. Tiyana was most recently the victim of that, while Sam seems to be next in line to suffer the same fate. Afterwards, Brett chats about his experience a few weeks ago meeting most of the cast of #bb26 and Danielle catches us up on what...

Dani & Brett are back to recap one of the most unexpected eviction episodes of all time, as #bb26 continues its streak of unpredictable new developments. For the first time in BB history, Julie Chen-Moonves did not attend a live eviction; instead Hollywood legend Jerry O'Connell took the stage in Studio City. We open the show discussing Jerry's hosting performance and the roller coaster career of the young boy from 'Stand By Me.' Later in the show, we dive into the eviction itself, the...

Brett & Dani are back for a new episode as they recap pour some dirt on Joseph, who got the loser edit of the week and was sent packing, inadvertently, by two of his closest allies in Quinn and Leah. Despite the fun season, it was a pretty rough week for gameplay overall, with plenty of critiques for Joseph, Leah, Quinn and Angela. The only person who is clearly standing above the rest right now is Chelsie. Also in the show, we chat about a new CBS procedural quick a verbose promo and a...

We discuss whether the Tucker/Rubina relationship has any legs and what Rubina's endgame looks like.

The gang says goodbye to poor, young Cedric; from HOH to on-set with Julie, one of the more disastrous two weeks in recent BB memory.

Brett & Dani are back to recap another week of Big Brother 26. Tucker took the spotlight from Angela, entering full chaos-mode: using the veto on Angela rather than himself and causing a full house-meeting explosion that put himself, Quinn, Makensy & Cedric in bad positions. Was it good Big Brother? Not necessarily. But was it entertaining? You bet. We also say goodbye to Kenney, say hello to Kenney's flirty TikToks, talk about the Tubina relationship, it's lack of screentime and...

Dani & Brett react to week 2in the Big Brother 26 house. Lisa surprisingly went home on Thursday night after yet another chaotic week featuring the season's one true star/villain, Angela. We discuss this strange opening two weeks of the game, how so much has revolved around Angela, even at the sacrifice of learning why the house flipped against Lisa, and how real relationships and game players have yet to reveal themselves in the game. We also look ahead to the current HOH, their...

Danielle & Brett are back to recap Wednesday's episode of #Survivor46 which quite unfortunately sent Venus to the jury. All good things must come to an end.

Has a season ever had so much fighting around food rewards? Later in the episode, Danielle gives her reaction to #Challengers, talks about her recent rewatch of 'Boogie Nights' & Brett...
