Survivor 49, Episode 1 "Act One of a Horror Film" Recap

They talk Jake’s shoe stealing, sob stories, double Sophi(e)s, and the horror-movie metaphor. Plus: Survivor 50 promo, Blue’s Clues, and why Pearl Islands was many things—but never “vulnerable.”Find us on Instagram:Drop Your Buffs: @dropyourbuffspodEvan: @evanrosskatzSean: @soda.pup This is a public episode.

Heralded by the Washington Post as being “ostensibly about ‘Survivor’”, in this podcast, veteran fan Sean Ross and quarantine newbie Evan Ross Katz take a very gay deep dive into all things SURVIVOR. With a uniquely queer lens, Drop Your Buffs takes a retrospective look at the greatest seasons, players and iconic moments from the reality show that started it all. Plus, we go straight to the source, interviewing legendary contestants of the game.
But it doesn’t stop there. Evan and Sean also cover SURVIVOR-adjacent television, including THE TRAITORS, THE WHITE LOTUS and …AND JUST LIKE THAT. dropyourbuffs.substack.com
