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 ... more

Love the banter - I came for the HR coverage and it is really funny but also thoughtful. I laugh out loud a couple of times an ep. Sasha being fifth-right (not just forthright) just makes me laugh. Sasha is the twinkiest twink who ever twunk. I like that you’re not sycophantic. (Why ARE these multi-millionaires sharing hotel rooms like they’re high-school teachers on a field trip?)
Evan is so clearly over American Survivor. There is nothing fun about listening to someone complain about something they hate for an hour.
If we were to play a game of Star or Starless with the hosts, Kevin would be a supernova 💫
Anything less than 5 stars is a hate crime, honestly.
What an OOOOOF. Used to really enjoy this, despite the size of Evan’s shiny head. It’s called “Drop Your Buffs” but they don’t cover “Survivor”, even though I guess they still do behind the paywall. They hate it…but clearly not THAT much. Do they not understand that their very specific lane was to provide hate-watch coverage? Like that’s why we came here. So we get “Traitors UK” (can’t watch—don’t care) & “Heated Rivalry” (because there’s not already enough coverage of that trifle). I’d l... more
