The Dom and Colin Podcast

The midgame is on the horizon and today we're back to break down life in the BB7 house now that Season Six's month-long reign of terror has come to and end. With a floater finally in power, how did the Sovs go from solid to shambles in seven days? Plus, a point-by-point analysis of the greatest Veto competition of all time when you listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

With Dom out making England great again, RHAP LFC VIP Brent Wolgamott sits in to break down the latest action in Fiji and talk through how the entire cast stacks up entering the swap. Which power duos seem built to last and which might join Ali and Patrick as one-vote-stands? Do Joe and Ryan have the winner upside of their spiritual predecessors or are they merely cheap knock-offs? And does anyone know if Lauren plays softball? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

(apologies for the audio quality in this episode; should be back to normal in future) They didn't feature the disturbing #blindsides or glitzy drama of other recent elections, but the lack of interest surrounding last month's federal elections in Germany belies their importance for the world and the uncertainty over their consequences. Honorary German and longtime friend of the show Pia Virolainen calls in to discuss the remarkable continuity of Angela Merkel and the surprising changes to the political landscape in Germany and beyond. As always you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

The BB7 rewatch is in full swing and joining us to break down Week 4 is someone with firsthand insight into several of the season's key figures, BB14 winner Ian Terry. How did leftover animosity from All-Stars impact the dynamic between Boogie and Janelle six years later? What hilarious pregame drama led to Diane's innocuous eviction? And might the the greatest Big Brother player of all time be someone not named Will, Dan, or Derrick? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

The action is rising in Fiji as the players are pairing up and the idols are literally coming out of the woodwork and in today's podcast we break down which of the Day 1 duos is best poised to make a deep run and which might be split up early. Plus, who would have been a better fit for Survivor: Borneo? And are Cole and Devon completely interchangeable? All that and more below, here or on iTunes here.

After BB19 immediately tilted us too hard to even think about Big Brother over the summer, we're back to carry on with our BB7 rewatch series as we dive into the now-legendary third week of the game. Catch up on our previous coverage here, here, and here, then find this week's episode below, here, or on iTunes here.

In an effort to put this whole mess behind us, RHAP staple Liana Boraas returns to talk us through that crazy finale and decompress after another long, largely useless summer of Big Brother. What could Paul have done differently, and what kind of impact will his pillar-to-post rampage have on future seasons? Where does Josh stack up in the pantheon of BB winners, if anywhere? And what's the early scuttlebutt about #BBCelebrity? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

With the undersized season premiere in the books, we're finally back to judge these people as human beings now that we've gone from zero minutes of televised content to a much more comfortable forty-two. Did Chrissy make the right move sitting on the #SuperIdol and could it still have value going forward? Did Ryan take the optimal approach in how he used it in the first place? And how might future contestants game the supply scramble to get a secret advantage of their own? All that and more on the player below, here, or on iTunes here.

It's been an eventful week on Australian Survivor and we invited back Adam Rida, the only Australian we've ever met, to talk about it. Of all the twists unleashed since our last check-in, which are fair or interesting? Is the editing as good as advertised? And, with the game's biggest player gone, who can fill the void? All this and more on this episode available below, here, or on iTunes here.

It's time for another season of Survivor that absolutely does not have any known tagline. Will there be any correct predictions for a change? Any hot takes, or any takes at all? Will the draft picks finally reflect reality in any noticeable way? We'll see what happens. You can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

In the wake of the chaos in Charlottesville, white nationalism is back in the spotlight. Are these wannabe Nazis just sad teenagers in their basements podcasting gaming all day or do they represent a larger threat? Whatever this threat is, what tactics are morally justifiable and tactically effective at fighting it? And how has Trump's victory enabled and emboldened fringe movements? We cover these questions and more on the first of what may be a series of political episodes, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

Closing out Catch-Up Week in style, Colin welcomes BB15 winner Andy Herren to break down the latest developments from the Big Brother: Redemption Island house.

We venture to the farthest reaches of the world today to cover Survivor: Australians But Nicer as well as Survivor: Australia with honorary Kiwi and genuine Aussie Adam Rida.
