Recapping Episode 9 of Survivor 46 with special guest, Chris Kuna. Covering everything from last week's episode to this week's Taylor Swift album, we made sure not to disappoint in Matt's absence. You never know who is listening.

A little hiccup with recording to start. Don't worry, you didn't miss much, so just jump right in and come along for the ride as we break down this ridiculous episode (thankfully ridiculous in a good way this time).

Ah, the dreaded split challenge/double Tribal Council. Yet another feature of the new era that needs to go. But this turned out to be a good result, all things considered. Some decent drama and two interesting votes. About all you can ask for!

Plus a new segment from Matt, called Things I Liked, injecting a little more positivity into the coverage!

And as always we finish with some Australian Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Big Bro...

Best episode of the season! (Admittedly not a high bar to clear, but let's focus on the positives).

This episode had some much-needed messiness and drama, and hopefully that can keep going.

And of course we finish up with Jared and Matt's continuing journeys through Australian Survivor and Big Brother, respectively.

Episode 5...actually kind of felt like Survivor again? Not exactly effusive praise, but you gotta start somewhere.

And stick around to the end again for some more Australian Survivor and Big Brother discussion.

We're celebrating 100 episodes of Talking Llama! A bit of a bummer that we got another downer episode to mark such an occasion, but as always, we find a way to have some fun with it.

And we continue our Reality TV Corner at the end, with some more Australian Survivor, plus some Amazing Race and (20 year old) Big Brother talk.

Thanks to all who listened across the first 100 episodes, and here's to the next 100!

What a bummer of an episode. And not just because of the medevac. Just weak all around. Three episodes in and SURVIVOR 46 is on life support.

Though a bit of an unorganized episode, we still have fun here, as we jump around, reminisce about happier SURVIVOR times, and get into some more AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR discussion.

A boring 1st hour, followed by an exciting 2nd hour. Exciting in the sense that stuff actually happened. After the "controversy" a couple weeks ago of Probst saying they're no longer casting villains, were the actions by some players this week villainous, or simply them being jerks? And a fun side tangent about some of the (many) ways Australian Survivor is vastly outclassing US Survivor at the moment.

It's the SURVIVOR 46 premiere! And opinions here at Talking Llama are...shall we say...mixed. But one thing where there is no disagreement? We may have just witnessed the worst individual premiere performance in the show's history.

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.

Big moments, shots fired, missed opportunities. Another exciting episode as SURVIVOR 45 heads down the home stretch.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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!

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.

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.
