Another season, another roundtable! Members of the Endurum sit down to talk about the first half of the cast reveals; and it wouldn't be a Stephen Loughridge production without many technical difficulties.

Coming back at 'cha with some audio/visual realness, the Rewind is back and keeps a pulse thus far -- we're not dead yet! Tonight we present the first episode of "The Quick'n'Drrrty" where the panel discusses the big storylines of the game thus far. We also reward our consensus MVP for round 1, and discuss who's in the danger zone for tonight's tribal council. Stephen makes an Archer reference to two people who doesn't watch Archer making his second obscure reference of the season. The real stars of the show are Jacob Harpel and Alex Rico, our two loyal viewers who give fantastic perspective on the happenings inside of the game. Cool! Rad! Awesome!
Alex Rico ~ Prediction Writer Stephen Loughridge ~ 6th place, Solomon Islands "Host of Big Brother Basics" Jacob "Sugarboogerz" Harpel ~ 4th place, Solomon Islands
The Rewind is back with another edition of the Quick'n'Drrrty! Joining the panel is the queen of Endure Jen Crowther, and the queen of my heart Tyler Poirier! We recap the last two rounds of storylines, including "Flip Flip Chicks" Vic and Anthony, Kate's position in the game, our undying Zac cult love, and how his boot will affect the games of the people around him. Also in this episode: MVPs, Danger Zones, and Sean Faulk oh my! Strap in for your half hour rocket ride of sex appeal and Stephen clapping far too much to transition from thought to thought. Love youuuuuu
Tyler Poirier ~ 11th place, Solomon Islands Stephen Loughridge ~ 6th place, Solomon Islands "The Queen" Jen Crowther ~ Winner, Palmyra
Calling all Lisa warriors! *cough*Maddie*cough* Momma Miller is here to run down her time in the game, who she hope to keep in touch with, and why she thinks Tagish are dumb for booting her! I'm joined by one of my good friends, and fellow Lisa warrior Jamie Eles! Thank you so much for joining me Jamie, it was a pleasure to have you and for you to talk to the star of the season! Lisa is such a joy to talk to and it's fantastic to hear how enthusiastic she was about her short lived time in the game! Also, hear about how production and prediction writers alike were wrong about Lisa's #1 ally being Zac! We've been bamboozled!
Wave your Lisa warrior flags high folks, Lisa delivers!
This is a long one, but a good one. Watch as RJ and myself barely prompt Zac, as he narrates his game spectacularly covering every topic and answering every question you may have. His side of the controversial remarks? Got it. Why he approached the game so aggressively? Got it. His relationship with his sister and what this game meant for him despite being so short lived? Got it. Why being an early boot helped him gain perspective and also save himself from potentially screwing up his career path? We got that covered too. Grab your Weet Bix and your Australian flag pullover blanket and get ready for a fantastic interview with a fantastic dude!
Make some tacos, chug some wine from the bottle, and freshen up on your knowledge of mitochondria, we've got our favourite snapback wearing, (soon to be) biology teaching dudebro with us! Anthony joins myself and RJ to talk about the leading hours up to his surprising 19th place exit, his time spent on the Haida tribe, and makes RJ swoon over the love he has for his brother. Stick around for a special video question by someone Anthony knows quite well that leaves Anthony in stitches. "My Manthony" (- Samm's friend, 2015) joins us far too soon, but he leaves the game the way he entered: humble, and light-hearted. Check it out!
Wanna know who wins Okanagan? This super foolproof, super accurate, super up-to-date simulator determines the only two possible winners of this season (that's right, a BrantSteele so nice we ran the simulator twice!) This was done at the final 18 round, it just wasn't uploaded until now because I put the pro in procrastination.
Ashlee Smith ~ Mom RJ Diggity ~ 9th place, Solomon Islands Stephen Loughridge ~ 6th place, Solomon Islands Jacob Harpel/Robert Goulet ~ 4th place, Solomon Islands Jen Crowther ~ Winner, Palmyra
We out here fam! In this episode we have another exit interview! As per usual, Zoie Quinn continues to be a literal angel. I don't even know how else to sell this episode other than Zoie is literally an angel. I could always bring up how she talks about her time in the game, touches on her favourite moments, and why a new concept like ORGs was a ton of fun. Honestly though, just watch this because she's a literal angel and a joy to talk to.
It's poppin! It's poppin! In this episode, Brian Wojan continues to be one of the most pleasant people I have ever met. Brian journeys through his time in the game -- the highs and lows -- and continues to prove that he will always beat to his own drum and carry a fighting spirit. For single-children: If you've ever wanted to have a sister and are extremely jealous of people who do, don't watch this episode. Brian talks about the importance of playing with Jenna, as well as how this game has reaffirmed what he discovered about himself through playing Palmyra! Idk what else to say I love Lil' Wo.
Awwww shiiiit, time for a Chaos Casey exit interview!
Ginger Jesus joins myself and a potentially about-to-die RJ and shoots the breeze about her time back into the Endure ring. Casey talks in-depth about her side of the story that wasn't shared in the game, as well as offers some choice words for some certain people from Tagish 3.0. Casey, as always, is an absolute gem to talk to. No ifs, ands, or butts about it.
Finally! It's been long overdue, because I procrastinated, but it's here! Jenna and I talk down while I'm somewhat intoxicated to talk about her time in the game, the bond her and her brother shares, and ultimately why this game was so much fun for her. RJ makes a brief appearance at the beginning before his internet craps out so if you're watching to admire RJ's smooth silky complexion from afar, this isn't the episode for you. Alternatively, if you want to hear from one of the all-time Endure fan favourites share more Brian Wojan stories, you've come to the right place!
