Lastly, they talk through what type of season Viraj could potentially be interested in watching if he agreed to give the show a chance.

Fireside Chats - Ep. 2 - Rachel & Will Build the Ideal Season

On this episode, Rachel & Will begin a 3-part series on building our ideal Survivor season. This 1st episode is all about tribe structure; i.e. building our fantasy starting tribes and figuring out what changes about those tribes as the season goes on, if anything. We brainstorm new ways to structure the starting tribes, break down why it’s important to have strategic swaps rather than random tribe swaps, and try to figure out the ideal time to merge.

** Spoiler Levels ** – LOW → A few mentions of game mechanics that have come up in previous seasons, and a reference to the merge vote of Season 37.

----------------

Intro (00:00)

SIX tribes?? (2:55)

Balancing Tribe Demographics (12:11)

Tribe Swap Scenarios Deep-Dive (22:29)

When Should the Tribes Merge? (42:24)

Mutiny? (53:09)

----------------

It’s the Survivor Offseason and that means we need something to keep us going. Naturally that means MORE Survivor. On these Fireside Chats we allow ourselves to engage in all things Survivor, including potential SPOILERS FOR ALL PAST SEASONS. Sometimes about a certain season, sometimes about certain contestants, and other times just our love (and hate) of the show in general. Listen to the perspectives of our three hosts: Will an experienced Survivor fan, Ang a rising Survivor fan, and F a brand new Survivor fan, as at least one of them picks the brain of our Survivor guest each episode.

S37 Eps. 5 & 6 - Jackets and Eggs | Aren't Brochachos Just Adorable?

It’s time for our first-ever themed season as we journey through Season 37: David vs Goliath! Hang on to your jackets, it’s time for more wacky tribal councils where Goliaths eat their own. We react to all the angles of Jacket-Gate, from the multiple levels of Angelina’s deception, to whether continuing to eliminate Goliaths could work out, to even the power ranking of which jackets she should have targeted. We also marvel at the rise of Christian in both the physical game in challenges and the social game with the Brochachos Alliance. The latter of course led to yet another emotional Gabby scene which we break down.
