Kelley reveals how she managed to keep her idol a secret—from wearing jean shorts in a water challenge to fabricating excuses that threw castaways off the scent.

Aubry Bracco Talks Big Brother 28 Big Brother 28 is deep into chaos as alliances shift and eviction targets wobble, with the house fixated on the fallout from the HoH’s big move and the relentless push-pull over who stays and who goes. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong are joined by special guest Aubry Bracco for a recap and strategy deep dive, unpacking the current shakeups and social maneuvering as the game’s pace tests even the most seasoned reality veterans. This episode covers Devens’ reign as HoH and his struggle adapting to a position of power after mostly playing from the bottom, with discussions on his plan to target Rome and the resulting complications when the veto threatens to throw everything into question. Aubry delves into the differences between Survivor and Big Brother gameplay, especially around pacing and how alliances are built and tested over a week instead of a day. The trio breaks down the influence Dee and Angela wield in the group, Lyric’s social savvy resulting in safety, and the chaotic ripple that comes from changing targets and messy coalition-building. The influence of outside friendships, especially the Survivor/Big Brother crossover, is front and center as Dee, Devens, and Angela navigate loyalty and self-interest. Aubry points out how Devens relies on feedback from his allies and finds working with others more comfortable than solo gameplay. Taran notes Dee’s ability to connect with every type of player in the house, keeping her well-positioned even after making nominations. The hosts observe Lyric’s impressive social maneuvering, getting almost everyone to support taking her off the block. Aubry and Taran agree that Barrett risks being left behind if he lets Dee’s influence outpace his own relationships. The struggle between acting boldly and maintaining trust comes up as Devens questions if the house will really back his Rome plan at eviction. With shifting alliances and the week’s eviction plan up in the air, the balance of power could tip at any moment. Will Devens and his allies keep control, or is another blindside on the way? Tune in for the full breakdown of the latest moves and what might come next in Big Brother 28.

Emily Flippen Talks Big Brother 28 Big Brother 28 is stirring as the line between the returnees and new houseguests becomes impossible to ignore. Host Rob Cesternino sits down with guest Emily Flippin for a lively recap, diving into the tense social dynamics and early power plays shaping the house this season. Emily shares her thoughts on the first HoH, Dee, and what it means for the game that both Dee and Devens are already aligned, calling them loyal allies likely to ride together unless the rest of the house catches on. The episode covers Dee’s challenging nominations, the “crossovers” alliance including Barrett and Drew, and Angela’s unique place as a returning Big Brother player. Socially, early showmances like Rome and Lyric are discussed as both distractions and potential targets, while new players like Kamu and Yash are evaluated for their low-key strategies and risk of becoming pawns. Emily also points out how the returning trio, by joining forces, paints a huge target that the newer houseguests—especially Jason—are eager to call out, even if it means putting their own games at risk. Emily says Dee and Devens are fiercely loyal and will stick together unless the house forces them apart. Jason’s push against the vets draws attention but might endanger his game, as Emily explains. Angela may be a “loose cannon” in the alliance, with Dee and Devens weighing their long-term trust in her. Barrett and Drew are playing the superfan game, but Emily wonders if they’ll flip on the vets when the time is right. Emily notes Kamu’s under-radar social game could set him up to survive mid-game power flips. With the returnees united but in the spotlight and alliances forming fast, the season’s power could shift at any moment. Will the new houseguests rally to target Dee, Devens, and Angela, or will divided loyalties give the trio room to run?

Introducing The Survivor Time Trip Survivor Time Trip is here with Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom as they launch the latest off-season adventure, celebrating the milestone of Survivor reaching nearly 50 seasons and over 725 episodes.

They reminisce on classic eras, consider which episodes and players are due for a rewatch, and even debate Survivor’s “GOAT” (greatest of all time), revealing surprising results from an 800+ voter poll. The discussion covers why certain legends like Parvati Shallow, Tony Vlachos, Cirie, Sandra Diaz-Twine, and Boston Rob have defined Survivor history, and what makes episodes worth another deep dive. – Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom announce the interactive “Survivor Time Trip” series and explain how fans can shape upcoming episodes – Break down the Survivor “GOAT” poll, with Parvati Shallow running away with the majority — and surprising placements for Tony and Cirie – Reflect on why episodes about moves like “Erik gives up the necklace” are off the table and why hidden gems or niche episodes are now fair game – Explore the shifting Survivor landscape, from legacy players’ evolving strategies to the influence of crossover reality stars – Throw out bold takes on the next tier of Survivor legends and which moments deserve fresh analysis As Survivor approaches its landmark 50th season, Rob and Mike ask: which forgotten moments and unsung episodes will come back to life on the podcast, and who will join them in the DeLorean for a trip back in time? Will fan-favorite deep cuts make the cut, or is there still room to revisit the game’s biggest strategic swings?

Tiffany discusses her high-stakes journey through Survivor 50, digging into her strategic shifts, social reads, and the emotional roller coaster of coming so close to the $2 million prize. Rob and Tiffany recap key moments from the season, from low-key drama at OG Kalo to a near-legendary immunity run—plus the chaos of Applebee’s, the auction, and some unforgettable blindsides. Tiffany reflects on arriving with a new mentality, adjusting her gameplay to stay under the radar and not let anyone see her as a threat until it was too late. She breaks down unseen tribe dynamics, sharing behind-the-scenes details about pre-merge alliances, who was really at risk on OG Kahlo, and why throwing a challenge for Chrissy’s exit just wasn’t worth it. Tiffany reveals the tension and fallout from the infamous Charlie vote, her evolving alliances with Dee, Kamilla, and Coach, and how her social game kept her off the chopping block even when her closest allies became targets. The episode also explores Tiffany’s key bond with Cirie, her rivalry with Rizo’s idol, and how one puzzle piece changed her Survivor fate. – The “house money” mentality Tiffany brought to her second season – Unseen dynamics and early friction in OG Kalo – The flip on Charlie and what really held the original alliance together – Tiffany’s immunity wins, her push to flush Ozzy’s idol, and the challenges (literal and social) post-merge – Tiffany’s auction story, including her strategic cupcake eating and surprising approach to secret menu surprises The episode poses tough Survivor questions—would keeping Ozzy have changed the season? Was Tiffany’s under-the-radar approach the secret to her deep run, or did it make her too late of a threat? As the jury weighs in and Tiffany eyes future reality TV adventures, the conversation leaves us wondering: what’s the best way to win Survivor—by the vote, or in the court of public opinion? Dive into this post-game recap to see if Tiffany’s strategic shifts and strong bonds could have rewritten Survivor 50’s endgame!

Christian Hubicki Reacts to the BB28 News Big Brother 28 launches with new faces and a few familiar faces from both Survivor and Big Brother, all navigating the first waves of shocks and alliances. Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong welcome guest Christian Hubicki ( Survivor: David vs. Goliath; Survivor 50) to dig into the season premiere and unpack how these reality veterans and rookies may adapt to the unique intensity of the Big Brother house. The main question: Can Rick Devens, known for bold moves on Survivor, settle into Big Brother’s blend of patience and chaos? The discussion spotlights Rick Devens’ surprise and adjustment as he faces new twists, the reactions within the house, and the unique struggles of moving from Survivor’s survivalist competitions to Big Brother’s endurance games and social tests. Christian recalls Cirie’s warnings about the difficulty of Big Brother and debates what kind of game Rick might play, from lying low to rallying his own cult-like crew, and whether he can build trust or paint a target on his back in a house packed with gamers. The podcast also covers strategy ideas, alliances, and how Rick’s secret weapons (like strong challenge skills and the ability to entertain) could shake up the BB formula. Christian recommends Rick Devens lean into his charisma to gather allies, rather than playing passively or sticking too hard to Survivor habits. The panel ponder Rick’s ability to shift from Survivor’s aggressive play to Big Brother’s long-game approach. The group highlights how production rules in Big Brother limit strategic bluffing with fake powers, potentially handcuffing Rick’s usual gameplay. Christian points out Rick’s popularity post-Survivor 50 might earn him valuable support in early fan votes, possibly giving him an edge. The hosts compare Survivor’s hardships to BB’s “slop” punishment, with consensus that Rick can easily handle the adjustment. As the weeks go on, will Rick Devens’ bold gameplay style blend with the slower, more social BB28 pace, or will it put him at risk before the jury phase?
