About this episode
We couldn't decide which headline show to cover for EHG 270, so we set our shot clocks to eight minutes each for three: Survivor 's 39th (!) season, with an idolatrous twist; new sitcom Sunnyside , starring Kal Penn as a disgraced city councilman; and semi-charming, SUPER-piloty PI/PTSD drama Stumptown . Will any of us keep watching any of these? Can we, when a couple of them already pulled basement-ish ratings? Later, we went Around The Dial with Bissinger doc Buzz , Perfect Harmony , The Challenge , and Below Deck Med before Kim brought us back to Survivor and fans vs. favorites with her Canon presentation. Moriarty's a winner, Ray Lewis is a loser, and we explored not-that-secret identities in Game Time. Behold the giant wooden busts of your panel: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.
