An intro for Bluesky 👋

I’m Shannon, I live in Sydney, Australia with my wonderful husband Peter & our perfect cats Eliza & Angelica. I podcast, commentate, write & talk too much about global #Survivor, mostly on #RHAP. If you like Survivor, theatre, cats &/or Taylor Swift we’ll probably get along ☺️

So much fun talking to Kiran & Dino about #Survivor49 episode 3, making the most out of a lacklustre pre-merge with some snake talk, vote breakdowns & fun news at the end #Survivor #RHAP #SurvivorSA

I got to ask Jeff more questions about Jake’s #Survivor49 snake bite, including if they debated triggering an early swap with his medevac, and whether they would open for him coming back for a second chance in a future season:

Great choices. Was just talking about how Beautiful is my favourite jukebox musical. Thanks for listening :)

Gussin’ Around ep 3 is here! Some fun stuff around musicals & our passions, some deep stuff on trauma that Taylor Swift pulled me out of with her bare hands. Thanks for listening 🖤🐍

I’ve loved Taylor for 18 years. Every era since Red was hated & misunderstood in some way when it dropped, always in ways that were later retconned & denied. Thank you Taylor for, despite that, still taking swings to evolve, be true to yourself & encompass so much #TLOASG

I kind of love that this album is being received like Reputation. Taylor herself went on a multi-year journey from saying she needs to be better, to calling it perfect. It was exactly what she needed to write at the time & it was misunderstood. #TS12 is TS6 X 2 #TLOASG

Shannon Guss @shannongaitz.bsky.social · 8d

End of day 1 in this new era of a showgirl & 7/12 songs are fighting to be played incessantly. Opalite makes me dance, TFOO makes me cry (& smile & dance), so many great 2000s sounds in Actually Romantic & beyond. Love this album #TSTheLifeOfAShowGirl #TLOASG

Really enjoyed my first couple of listens through #TLOAS. I expected Lover 2.0 & instead I got the spiritual sister to Rep, which I will never complain about. Snake life forever. Cancelled! on repeat❤️‍🔥🖤🐍 #yearofthesnake

We’ve had it 9 seasons in a row and I think you’d struggle to find it in half that in the 40 seasons prior? It’s pretty clearly a new era staple to me

You used to get it after the first tribal, not getting it until you win a challenge (and losing it again when you lose the challenge) is new in the new era

There's a lot to complain about with new era #Survivor, but the losing tribe not getting flint is the most underrated in its terribleness. The haves V have-nots was bad the first time, & we get a version of it most seasons #Survivor49

#Survivor: in a new twist, no one has to lose their vote

Also Survivor: you can choose to take someone’s vote
