I always love when I talk with the cast of #ThePitt, and Lucas Iverson (AKA Ogilvie) is no exception. He responds to the fan backlash around Ogilvie, and how he did not expect the adverse reaction to his "he croaked" moment to Whitaker

Savannah reacts to the fight between Rick & Joe on #Survivor50, revealing we got a "tamed down" version of what actually happened. She goes on to say, "I haven't seen a blow-up like that on Survivor in a while."

Savannah Louie Says Rick and Joe’s β€˜Survivor 50’ Fight Was Even More Intense Than What Viewers Saw (Exclusive) The β€˜Survivor 49’ winner says early 'stamps of approval' on her tribe put her at a disadvantage β€” and that playing back-to-back seasons without a break hurt her game.

Savannah reveals to me that Rick and Joe's fight on #Survivor50 was much more intense than what we saw, says preconceived "stamps of approval" put her on the outs of her tribe from the beginning, and looks back on a full year of Survivor: parade.com/tv/savannah-...

Men will do literally anything except go to therapy.

If you had asked me which 2 #Survivor50 cast members would be getting into a rivalry by Episode 2, Rick Devens and Joe would be at the absolute bottom of the list

The exact definition of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object

As a final treat before tonight's episode of #Survivor50, here's my footage of the contestants arriving at the beach via the giant barge

You can see how much the wind was whipping during that entire opening. And how the rain was beating down on the island just before the game kicked off

In retrospect, this answer to my celebrity loved one question in my #Survivor50 preseason interview with Joe was either a major Easter Egg or an incredible piece of manifestation

I think that's exactly it. Like Keith, in an era that is all about savvy players, he is delightfully oblivious. He consistently makes mistakes, yet it also somehow endears him to those in charge

In case you need any reason to watch #SurvivorAU, there's a man on there who's the brother of two-time player Mat Rogers (who also happens to be a famous rugby player)

He's decided to change his last name from Rogers to...ROBERTS

And he has already accidentally said his real name

After a yearslong journey of ups and downs, my best friend has now become a mother to a beautiful baby girl. Given how driven, talented, and overall wonderful both of Rory's parents are, I truly cannot wait to watch the incredible person she'll become* ❀️

*Provided she gives Chissy points correctly

One of the pieces of speculation about the #Survivor50 cast centered on Q and Aubry. Would there be any cross-season beef?

Luckily, I got to witness the two finally talking about it when they visited Vatu camp. And it seems like they worked it out in the remix.
