Friday Jan 10, 2025
The Traitors is BACK for a third season! We're breaking down the premiere, talking about the standout cast, including Housewives supernova Dorinda Medley and the infamously sleepy Robyn Dixon. We're also talking Boston Rob’s unexpected debut as a fourth traitor, Carolyn Wigler's impact on the show, and speculating on the identity of the two new mystery faithfuls. We also discuss how the new rules could shape the season and compare this iteration to past versions, including the UK show. Wrapping up, we're playing a game of "Star or Starless" and give an update about future Patreon content.

It's time to put a bow on Survivor 47 with our Post-Mortem episode. We're taking your questions about Survivor 47 and so much more. We're looking back at 47 as a whole, revisiting Rachel's winner arc, New Era group-think and potential returnees and guests from 47. We're also playing a brand new game: guessing what Survivor players smell like! We're also talking about the hypothetical All-Stars spin-off show, potential pop culture crossovers and Sue Hawk. Plus, we're reflecting on the journey that Drop Your Buffs has been for both of us and what the future holds for the podcast. And, of course, we're crowning the Survivor 47 winner of the Azra Valani Achievement in Social Media award!

Survivor 47, Episode 14 “The Last Stand” Recap
Friday Dec 20, 2024
Friday Dec 20, 2024
In the Drop Your Buffs Survivor 47 finale recap, Sean and Evan celebrated Rachel's win while critiquing the predictable format, the fire-making challenge, and Sue’s underwhelming age reveal. They lamented the absence of early boots like John Lovett from the finale and called for changes in casting and editing to revive Survivor's character-driven magic. The duo praised Rachel's gameplay but highlighted how modern Survivor's strategy-heavy edit leaves winners less memorable. Speculation on Jeff Probst's scent (Caesar salad?) and a call for the wind-and-fire emoji in honor of Teeny’s fire-making struggle kept the recap lively.
