Author: Sean Ross & Evan Ross Katz

Heralded by the Washington Post as being ostensibly about Survivor, in this podcast, veteran fan Sean Ross and quarantine newbie Evan Ross Katz take a very gay deep dive into all things SURVIVOR. With a uniquely queer lens, Drop Your Buffs takes a retrospective look at the greatest seasons, players and iconic moments from the reality show that started it all. Plus, we go straight to the source, interviewing legendary contestants of the game. But it doesnt stop there. Evan and Sean also cover SURVIVOR-adjacent television, including THE TRAITORS, THE WHITE LOTUS and AND JUST LIKE THAT. dropyourbuffs.substack.com

Sean and Evan revisit Survivor: The Amazon episode 7, “Girls Gone Wilder,” as part of a look back at classic Drop Your Buffs-coded Survivor episodes ahead of Season 50. They discuss why The Amazon remains an underrated season, break down its phenomenal casting, storytelling, cinematography, music and gender dynamics. Plus they reflect on the evolution of bonafide Supernova Rob Cesternino. They also talk live reunions vs. on-island aftershows, what modern Survivor has lost and Old School hits harder than the New Era. This is a public episode.
