Summary
Wells and Dolores are recapping the season premiere of Survivor 50 alongside Richard Hatch, the very first winner of the show.
From one player being medically evacuated to an OG player being the first to go, they’re giving their opinions on strategies, player’s personalities & the “survival” aspect of the show.
Are Dolores and Richard one and the same when it comes to overly-emotional players on TV? What does Wells think of the blatant backstabbing going on? Who has a chance of winning this entire thing?!

| 0:06.8 | We will be recapping Season 50 of Survivor on our show today, Richard Hatch. |
| 0:14.7 | Let's talk about Survivor, the first episode of Season 50, just because there's a lot to kind of mull through as this show is well this is |
| 0:24.1 | the biggest cast i think they've ever had um what do you think about that is it is it too much um like |
| 0:31.6 | for me there was so much exposition right it was a threehour first episode because you had to slog through the first |

| 1:23.6 | She was playing much harder and kind of appeared to me to be tone deaf. |
| 1:31.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:32.3 | A little hard and loose is how I was thinking of it. |
| 1:35.3 | I agree with you. |
| 1:36.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:37.3 | And if she hadn't, she probably could have done better because I think she did learn a lot about the game and knows how to play better than what happened. |
