We cap off another season with a really solid finale. [ ] is a strong winner (no spoilers in case you see this before watching the episode!) and Jake cements himself as one of the biggest breakout characters, not just of recent seasons, but maybe ever. Easily the best season of the new era so far.  Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

Breaking down all the action (including fawning over how awesome Jake is) in the penultimate episode of SURVIVOR 45 Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

Big moments, shots fired, missed opportunities. Another exciting episode as SURVIVOR 45 heads down the home stretch. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

What an episode! This one had it all, including - as a complete surprise - the first (we think?) ever needle drop in SURVIVOR history! Simply incredible stuff. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

A very up and down episode this week, with a truly horrible twist but a handful of really great, fun character moments. Join us as we break it all down. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

The SURVIVOR auction is back - with some changes - and there's a lot to discuss there. Also, maybe the biggest blindside of the season so far? Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

The 6-6 split with 12 players left remains stupid and terrible and awful and dumb. And also stupid. This is a soul-cleansing, mostly rant-filled episode.  Enjoy! Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

What an episode! SURVIVOR history is made amid a fantastic merge episode. The strong season rolls on. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

Nobody quit! That's reason enough to be happy with this week's episode. We break down everything else, even the return of the incredibly dumb Amulet advantage. Enjoy! Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

Our snail's pace catch up for AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR continues, this time with the beloved 2017 season. This is the first of at least two episodes covering this season. In this episode, we go through the first merge vote. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge

A disappointing end to what had been a great episode. We discuss the eliminated player's...interesting(?) decision and why it doesn't all add up. Really unfortunate that 2/4 votes have ended in a quit, but nonetheless the season is still good, and there's plenty of reason to be optimistic for the remaining stretch.

Another good episode, and we're 3-3 to start the season! Some more good character moments, and some fun and interesting strategic decisions as well. The season keeps delivering! Follow us on social media: Instagram: @talkingllamapod / @matthambidge Twitter: @llamatalkpod / @matthambidge
