We’re back to break down the And Just Like That series finale. We’re wrestling with MPK’s “this felt like the natural place to end” narrative and questioning how a Thanksgiving episode with daylight leftovers somehow passed for a send-off. We go character-by-character, breaking down Anthony and Giuseppe’s pie-in-the-face romance, LTW’s still-unfinished Michelle Obama-maybe-narrated doc, Seema’s unfinished Adam storyline, Charlotte’s hallway reveal, Miranda’s Lego-swallowing dog date, and Carrie’s Tommy Tomato solo act. Along the way, we dive into the show’s weird relationship to wealth, the wasted Samantha storylines and why a final montage of everyone alone-but-together could’ve saved it. Plus, listener homework for the upcoming post-mortem, a proposed cameo from Candace Bushnell and the fan-made alternate ending that gave us chills. This is a public episode.

In the Drop Your Buffs Survivor 47 finale recap, Sean and Evan celebrated Rachel's win while critiquing the predictable format, the fire-making challenge, and Sue’s underwhelming age reveal. They lamented the absence of early boots like John Lovett from the finale and called for changes in casting and editing to revive Survivor's character-driven magic. The duo praised Rachel's gameplay but highlighted how modern Survivor's strategy-heavy edit leaves winners less memorable. Speculation on Jeff Probst's scent (Caesar salad?) and a call for the wind-and-fire emoji in honor of Teeny’s fire-making struggle kept the recap lively.

We're interrupting our regularly scheduled ranting to bring you all of the information you need ahead of the premier of Survivor 41. We're dissecting everything we know about this so-called "new era" of Survivor- monsters, danger, starvation and 26 days! We're also doing a full analysis of the castaways and tribes. And, yes, we will make the mistake of predicting a winner and a first boot. Join the conversation!

DROP YOUR BUFFS welcomes the legendary Ozzy Lusth of Survivor Cook Islands, Micronesia, South Pacific and Game Changers! An absolute icon of the game, Ozzy is a record-holding challenge beast, the first victim of the Black Widow Brigade, and an all-around Hero (despite not actually being cast as one, but more on that in our discussion). Ozzy is telling us about his relationship with Amanda post-Micronesia, the final tribal vote he regrets casting, what it was like being present for J*ff V*rner's last tribal ever (we hope) and giving us his thoughts on the future of Survivor. And yes, we're definitely talking about OnlyFans. Join the conversation!
