Josh and Dave recap episode two of season 43, with the small glimmer of hope that Paramount+ will start posting extended episodes of the greatest reality show on television.

Some highlights from this episode:

No, we are not boycotting this season. Yes, we have lots to say!

This show is largely a reflection on society, for better or worse. We recap three hours of Survivor, which include many painful moments but some small moments of triumph (thank you, Janet).

  • Why is Jack on the jury?

  • How does this measure up to seasons of the show that aired in the early 2000s?

  • What the hell were Elizabeth and Missy thinking?

  • Not getting the pitchforks out: humans make mistakes. Aaron's apology video was legit.

Another week, another (unnecessary?) blindside. Vince is gone and we mourn the loss of another potentially great character. But there's still much to be excited about!

Not unlike the first seven seconds of each episode these days, we have some highlights:

  • What's better? Jack's defensive approach post-blindside, or Jamal's offensive approach?
  • Josh makes his winner's pick for the season! Marc has mostly weird bold predictions.
  • Where did Janet get those goggles? Why didn't she use them before?
  • Is Dean gonna get the dumb-dumb edit?
  • Was Karishma being over-dramatic? Is it bad that Marc and Dave laughed during that segment (probably)?

  • What Kellee did or didn't understand was happening when she landed on the Island of the Idols.
  • Josh still knows all of Sandra's fun facts, but he might be color blind.
  • WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE GIANT HEADS AND THEIR OWNERS WHEN THEY GET BACK TO CAMP??
  • Is Dean related to Chelsea from Ghost Island?
