“It’s a shame the pod asters chose to emphasize race above most other social dynamics inherent in reality TV. Race in reality tv is a huge issue and worthy of its own podcast. But this was not billed as such a study. One example: talking about how the (well, 2) White tribe members on Survivor went back to the White tribe when given the chance. Would this season’s Black cast members be similarly criticized for forming an alliance based solely on their race? Additionally, it belies a lack of understanding of the show to simplify the White members’ decision. Alliances are formed every season based almost solely on how a contestant can get further in the game. Are there inherent biases that mimic real life? Absolutely. But that’s one part of the analysis, not the amount spotlighted on this show. The host never delved into the fact that alliances weren’t initially baked into the game (I believe there weren’t even 2 tribes); it was something that formed organically, on which the show and future contestants capitalized. This speaks to the tribalism and survival instincts within us all, having nothing to do with race, which would have been fascinating to explore but was ignored in favor of calling out two (out of many other) White cast mates who may have made a decision that, conscious or not, factored in race. We don’t know that for sure, but the host’s bias sure presented it as fact. She should do a podcast devoted solely to this topic and/or be clearer about the focus of this one.”

“I love this podcast. Highly recommend for all true crime fanatics. The commentary is witty and smart and the episodes are easy to follow. That guy who left a comment regarding the producer’s voice sounds like a real peach.”

“I liked this podcast, but the conversation about Terrace House was pretty inappropriate & honestly offensive given how tragically that show ended.”
