In this episode, Donnie sits down with Broadway performer Tamar Greene, who he first saw on stage as George Washington in Hamilton back in 2018. What started with a stage door photo years ago has come full circle in a conversation about theater, representation, and the power of storytelling.

Tamar shares his journey from studying opera to finding his home in musical theater, the years of auditions that led him to Hamilton, and his recent run as the longest-running George Washington in Broadway history. Together, they discuss how casting choices can shift a show's narrative, why authentic representation matters, and how Black performers are helping redefine who gets to tell YOUR story.

Then in Episode 12... Devens finally runs out of lives, Cirie’s threat level becomes impossible to ignore, and just like that... we're down to FIVE.

With the finale around the corner... who actually has the clearest path to the $2 million? 👀

Ballroom. Broadway. Cats.

This week we’re joined by Cooper Howell, the Associate Director behind one of Broadway’s hottest and most talked-about shows right now: Cats: The Jellicle Ball.

We get into Cooper’s journey from performer to director, what it really takes to bring a Broadway production to life, and how Cats: The Jellicle Ball transformed into one of the most exciting experiences currently on Broadway. We also talk about building collaborative creative spaces and why shows like Cats are about so much more than spectacle. They’re about community, identity, self-expression, resilience and joy all at once.

From voguing and runway to queer artistry and theatrical chaos in the best way possible, this ballroom-inspired reimagining of Cats is unlike anything audiences are expecting. Cooper shares what it’s been like helping shape the show from its earliest workshops to its current Broadway run, what it means to honor ballroom culture authentically onstage, and why audiences have connected so deeply with this version of Cats.

OH and did I mention Cats: The Jellicle Ball is nominated for NINE Tony Awards 👀 including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design, and Best Orchestrations.

THE FAKE IDOL CAME OUT TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!! 🤯🔥 And a twist we might actually need to keep around 👀

Donnie and Mikhail are breaking down Survivor 50 Episode 8, where the “double duos” twist had everyone scrambling, second-guessing, and realizing real quick… your partner might just be your downfall 💀

Love it or hate it, this twist shook the game UP — forcing new dynamics, exposing cracks in alliances, and giving us some top-tier chaos.

And of course, Cirie once again reminds us why she’s THAT player, delivering a moment that could have completely changed the direction of the vote.

It’s a pivotal round with major implications for the rest of the season… and yeah, we’re unpacking ALL of it.
