And then get into episodes 9 and 10 of S33. We talk about Jeff Probst is not a cool dad, having too many people for the merge, Tail's childish drama & bad jar skills, and having the confidence to sit out of the Immunity Challenge and just eat the sandwich.

Wawaweewa, it's a new episode of the Women's Alliance with a WELL-PLAYED IMMUNITY IDOL! Lida and Jenny are joined by the hilarious Devin Ritchie (UCB Comedy) to talk about the playful Millennial tribe vs. the ...sorry to say it, kinda boring Gen X tribe in episodes 3 and 4 of Season 33. These episodes have the first ever Summit (huh?) National Geographic level cinematography (wow!), and classic Michaela swagger (yes!). And of course, big buff drops about the Rights of Passage and tarps. Give them tarps, Jeff! We also have some truly incredible ideas for themes for future seasons...hit us up, CBS.

Lida and Jenny are back with a classic show format, where Jenny has seen it, and Lida has not: Survivor  Season 33: Gen X vs. Millennials! Lida did her homework and watched seasons 29-32 in our brief hiatus, and she gives her quick thoughts on all the seasons. Which did she like, and which did she hate? And did a season of Survivor get spoiled for Lida? Then we dive in with comedian, playwright, and comedian Mark Levy. Mark discusses what it's like to be a longtime fan of Survivor, and a friend of someone on the show. We talk residuals, grandpa millennials, a real life rite of passage, the differences between Millennials and Gen Xers, beautiful beach shots, and the Fiji partnership.

We did it! We finally made it to the episode where Jonny Fairplay causes a future schism for all Survivor seasons to come with the greatest lie ever told (and some Oscar worthy acting to match)! Lida and Jenny are joined by funny guy John Trowbridge (check out his Tik Tok) to discuss Season 7, episodes 11 and 12, and we want to know how many lies can you juggle!?
