The Survivor 50 finale is now more than just a desert island mirage - it's right around the corner! And so Will and Rider are getting ready, still courageously taking on the challenge of recapping every single episode.

They're confused by the voting strategies, but the games still had our hosts on the edge of their seats, sparking the age-old debate of what’s more valuable on the island: brains or brawn?

There’s still no love for Coach, but Will and Rider will miss bizarre monologues and his “inspirational” quotes. Not many can share the wisdom of Sun Tzu AND a random financial advisor in the same thought.

So come join us on Coconut Island, for an all-new Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

Will and Rider have once again washed ashore to recap episode 7 of Survivor 50, but would you believe that an episode centered around poetry DIDN’T hook Rider??

Will and Rider are still castaways on Survivor 50 island, but has Rider been able to successfully convert Will into a die-hard fan of the show?

After recovering from the disappointing definition of a “tribe swap,” our hosts marvel at the overwhelming amount of Zac Brown this episode. But, the random cameo does remind Rider of his own spear fishing expedition that somehow ended in a shark attack. And Will reveals a true podcast exclusive: he bought Jonathan’s pants!

Plus, we hear Will and Rider share their thoughts on the big Bachelorette news, like the reality TV experts they are - on an all-new Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

With Will out this week, a new castaway is stepping in to give Rider a firsthand look at what really goes down on Survivor, as Season 49 fan-favorite Sophi Balerdi breaks down Episode 3 of the already iconic Season 50.

While they analyze the strategies of the tribe swap, Sophi pulls back the palm fronds to clear up some long standing Survivor misconceptions. How much can you bring with you to the island? Do you ever have a mirror to get camera ready? And just how cool is Jeff Probst??

Plus, Sophi reveals the true enemy of every Survivor castaway - and no, it’s not another player. It’s rough, irritating, and somehow gets everywhere.

It's time to call in a "real" expert for a very special Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

It’s only episode two of Survivor 50, and alliances are already taking shape! Will and Rider are quickly becoming Island Experts - but the game still has a few lessons in store.

A contestant was medically pulled and another was overcome with emotion, so can our hosts still find a way to connect with the cast??

It seems one of the most important skills you can have is tying (and untying) a knot, and Will discovers the power of playing dirty. It’s time to return to the tribal council on this week’s Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

And get ready for Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity for Survivor 50!!
