IoI #2 - Discussion and Analysis, Invisible edit extravaganza!
Where did the Lairo tribe go? Where are the stories from the first episode? Episode two abandons a number of plot lines set up in the first episode, and we crack the case on why that happened.

TWE - Episode #8 Discussion & Analysis
The Winner’s Edit is BACK! We’re covering Episode 9 and all the shenanigans within, including its extra-long Tribal Council. In addition to mentioning some stuff we missed from Episode 8, we talk about several theories for who the firemaking loser might be, conscious vs. subconscious bias in editing, fan-favorite segment What’s Up on Edge of Extinction, and who might be in the running for the worst player of all time. Additionally, we cover picks for the winner and the next boot. Join us!
EoE Episode #7 - Merge Breakdown Extravaganza - Discussion and Analysis
This week on the winner's edit its the merge episode! Whats going to happen? We analyze the EoE returnee twist and what it means for the season going forward, as well as the narrative that has been completely shifted. This was a jam-packed episode.
Winners Edit
On this week’s Winner’s Edit, we cover a turbulent double-header of an episode before next week’s twist revelation. On the eve of the merge, we talk about complex tribe theory and how this season’s fit might be an unlikely source (and no, we don’t necessarily mean Edge of Extinction). We also discuss everyone’s edits, good and peanut-buttery bad alike, and we talk about where they fit in as we enter the back half of this game. Thanks for joining us!
Episode 4 - Swap Time!
Drop your buffs, because it's time for Episode 4 of The Winner's Edit! A swap episode is crucial for winner contenders, and while Dan and Joe agree that this is the season's best episode so far, it's just as edgically perplexing as any that have come before it. Listen to chats about Edge of Extinction's breakout episode, two very differently edited contestants that look like real contenders for the next boot, and some interesting pitches as to who the winner of this strange season could be.

Season 38, Episode 1 - Premiere Analysis
On Episode one of The Winner’s Edit: Edge of Extinction, we pick apart the editing in the cramped premiere of Survivor’s 38th season. We discuss the strong motherly themes prevalent in this first episode, how different the tribes look when it comes to winner candidates, and what exactly to make of the bamboozling edits of our four returnees as well as the first boot. In the end, we roughly come to the same conclusion on winner contenders. Thanks for joining us!

Episode 11 & 12 - Editing Discussion and Analysis - WHO WILL WIN DAVID VS GOLIATH?
On episode 11 of the Winner’s Edit, we mourn deeply for our past winner picks – and try to figure out the puzzle that awaits us in the finale. In addition to one final once-over on all the stories of the season, we talk about potential winners breaking Edgic “rules”, members of the Final 6 as Season 35 characters, and how one castaway shockingly emerges as an apparent frontrunner despite all their faults and negotiation. Join us!
Episode #10 - Discussion and Analysis - #
On this week’s episode of The Winner’s Edit, it’s double the fun with a two-hour, two-boot episode to be discussed. One castaway plummets from a lack of story, while another surprisingly appears on both of our lists due to consistency. We also talk about Kara’s undoubtedly crafted edit, Gabby’s hysterics as they concern her winner chances, and the continued importance of authenticity and empathy. We still have different winner picks, but next week’s previews could mean for big shakeups in the we
Episode #9 - Episode analysis and edit breakdown
In Episode 9 of the Winner’s Edit, another great episode leaves us still not quite sure who’s going to be coming out on top. Here, we discuss the implications of the Davids using literal game advantages to make the best of a bad situation, how to interpret Angelina’s cooldown episode, and the season’s potential sprint towards a dream final four. This week, our contenders are all over the place for us while one person has consolidated most of the popular support online! What does that mean? Liste
Episode #8 - Discussion and Edit Analysis!
This week was strange! Some of our main contenders faded to the background while characters who seemed to be relegated to supporting characters rose to prominence! What does it mean? Listen and find out!
(apologies if there are audio issues this time - delay meant some sacrifices to our timeline with editing!)
Episode 7 Discussion and Analysis
The merge is upon us in Episode 7 of the Winner's Edit! We discuss the nuance and implications of a fascinatingly-edited weird merge episode. Topics include Alec's bizarre breakout merge episode, a listener question about Gabby's merge feast confessional, and who will still be around on finale night. We end with a consensus pick for the next boot but some tricky ambivalence on who this season's winner is going to be. Thanks for joining us!
Episode #6 - Editing Discussion and Analysis
On this week’s episode of the Winner’s Edit, we discuss our Final 13 and the end of the pre-merge. With merge on the horizon, it’s time to discuss complex tribe theory! This episode also shook up the winner contenders quite a bit, so we rehash a bunch of storylines. With everyone’s edit a bit flawed, Dan and Joe veer in different directions on their top contenders. We also discuss what it means to have an edit very focused in the present, and the implications of a goat-less merge. In the end, is
Episode 5 - Discussion and Analysis - Is there anyway I can have your jacket?
This week we chronicle the downfall of a legend, but a queen rises from her cold-depths. This was a super fun, unique episode that we think is a great way to edit a "predictable" boot. Let us know what you think!
Ep 4 - Discussion and Analysis
On this episode of the Winner’s Edit: David vs. Goliath, we talk about where things stand following one player’s quit and an exciting tribe swap. Our discussion includes the story’s focus on women, nerds, and Slamtown, the collection of oddball edits that make up the Tiva tribe, and Natalie Cole’s reflective properties. In the end, we look at the likely winner edits, with one contestant pulling ahead of the rest. Join us!
Episode 2/3 - Analysis and Discussion!
After a brief hiatus, WE'RE BACK! Dan was out last week filming sequester so we have 2 episodes worth of content to analyze. Huge week for our contenders, and this season is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memories! :)
The WInners Edit Episode 1 Analysis
On this week’s episode of The Winner’s Edit, we discuss the superb premiere of Survivor: David vs. Goliath. We begin with our general impressions of the episode and what stories opened up in these first sixty minutes. We also discuss what it means for the least visible contestants in a fairly balanced episode, how to think about David-heavy editing, the focus on personal stories and their portrayal in the narrative, and much more. We conclude with our winner picks and predictions for next week’s

Episode 13 - Discussion, Analysis and Finale Predictions
On Episode 13 of the Winner’s Edit, we take one final look at the two-horse four-goat race that’s unfolded throughout Survivor: Ghost Island. In addition to talking about who’s going to win, we speculate on where everyone else is going to end up and discuss the feel and mentality of the season’s editing as a whole. We make some predictable Laurel jokes, field a question about Edgic in International survivor seasons, and mourn someone we never thought we’d be so funereal over.

Episode 12 - Discussion and Analysis
We made a vow to Aunt Patty that we would release another episode, so here we are.
This week was...not great! But we finally have a clear picture of the storylines of this season. This episode doesn't do as much looking forward as looking back. The mystery of why Chelsea was so invisible is uncovered, perhaps!

Episode 11 - Discussion And Analysis
Welcome to this week's The Winner's Edit - This episode provided lots of clarity, and confusion to how this season plays out. This episode revitalized the chances of a few people and we attempt to figure out what that means.
Episode #10 - Discussion and Analysis!
Most of the time on the Winner’s Edit, we talk about what content sends someones chances down the drain. But in Episode 10, it’s someone’s lack of content that has us talking. In this episode we discuss the ramifications of Wendell’s super-quiet UTR1 episode. We also continue on our quest to slot in all the non-winners, which is aided by the revelation of next week’s twist. Thanks for listening!

Episode #9 - Discussion and Analysis
On Episode 9 of The Winner’s Edit, we bask in the fairly quiet aftermath of the war between Domenick and Chris. It seems like there’s still a handful of potentially-winning edits, but they’re all riddled with flaws of some sort. More than that, we try even harder than before to slot some definite “deadits” into their finishing place. But on a season like this, where there’s one core group of four and not much else in the way of alliances, can anyone be sure how this one season will haunt us fore

Episode #7 - Ghost Island EP07 Discussion - Complex Tribe Theory
You could say things were in a bit of a holding pattern on this episode of Survivor: Ghost Island, but on Episode 7 of the Winner’s Edit, we’re excited to have our friend Matt as a guest host as we chat about complex tribe theory. With the pre-merge stage of the game winding down, we take a look at the assorted tribe configurations and consider which tribes spun threads for the future and which ones kept things strictly to the necessary plot. With a jam-packed advantage-filled episode this past
Episode #6 - Ghost Island Discussion and Analysis
It’s a chance at FRESH NEW LIFE on Episode 6 of The Winner’s Edit, as we talk about an exciting new swap in Survivor: Ghost Island. We start with coverage of the stories that have found their way into the first six episodes and ponder if they’re the themes that will define this season. As always, we consider each castaway’s edit individually; for us, it’s become something of a two-horse race, and we discuss which is the winner and which is “the Devon.” Along the way, we talk about the exact logi
Episode #5: Ghost Island E05 Discussion and Analysis
It’s a day of mourning for The Winner’s Edit, as we discuss Stephanie’s departure, the prevalence of the pre-merge “shock boot” edit, and what this boot means for the stories of the season. We also discuss each remaining castaway’s edit and what it means for their staying power in the season, winning or not. As always, our discussion is peppered with the villainy of one Bradley Kleihege, the frowny-faced charms of one Jenna Bowman, and the rap prowess of the pastry-hoarding Chris Noble as all th
Episode #4: Ghost Island E04 Discussion
Here in Episode 4 of The Winner's Edit, we see some storylines rise to the surface as other characters work in the background. We talk about what Donathan and Laurel's potential flip means for all of Naviti, and where the Malolo 4 (now 3) stand with Brendan's departure. As always we share winner contenders, consider upcoming boots, and tip our hats to the invisible ones who have no chance (and Bradley). Thanks for joining us!

Episode #3: Ghost Island E03 Discussion
Here in Episode 3 of both this Survivor: Ghost Island and The Winner's Edit, a tribe swap mixes things up, and we see new characters flourish as others continue to be invisible. In this episode, we talk about how our favorite edits from the premiere have grown better or taken a nosedive, what new contenders are emerging, and what Morgan's #blindside means for the direction of the season. We wrap it up as always with winner contenders, next-boot predictions, and a summary of the stories that defi
Episode #2: Ghost Island E01 & E02 Discussion
Here in Episode 2, we begin to see how our pre-season predictions are panning out as we cover the two-hour premiere of Ghost Island. Along the way we talk about who’s exceeding expectations, what first and second boots Gonzalez and Jacob mean for the rest of the season, how next episode’s swap changes our lens on this episode, and we talk about Angela, Bradley, Chelsea, and Libby longer than all four of them combined have been featured on this show.

The Winner's Edit - Castaway Storyline Predictions Podcast
Welcome to the first ever The Winners Edit: A Survivor Storyline and Edgic Podcast
This series is about the edit and the stories that come from the show so many love. The hosts are Joe and Dan, and in this episode, they take a pre-season glance at each castaway and their potential for a winner's edit -- as well as the red flags that could seal their fate.
Both Dan and Joe are Survivor "Super-duper" fans, and have been long-time edit-watchers. They aren't here for cool points, or to brag about
