Buckle up because we’re finally sitting down with Chaos Kass of Survivor: Cagayan and Second Chance! We’re getting Kass’ reaction to the Survivor 50 cast, hearing her Survivor casting story (dating all the way back to season 2!) and breaking down her assessment of the New Era as “Temu Survivor.” We’re also diving into her experience on Cagayan and how she broke the mold of the “mom” archetype. Plus, we touch on her infamous Survivor feuds with legends like Tony Vlachos and Andrew Savage. Check out our Substack for a longer, spicier director’s cut of this interview.
