"If you are confused that we have a podcast, so are we," Michele quips in the first few minutes.
"There's so much strategy talk" adds Kellie. "And what RHAP needs is vibes. And that is what Michele and I can bring to the table."

"So he gave us the gift of just being able to do whatever the f–k we want," Michele recounts, "And that is our plan."
"I will say what I've learned from reality TV in general is that, sometimes when you win, it feels like a loss, and sometimes when you lose, it feels like a win," she says. "It was, for me, the biggest moment of my life. I was 24 years old. I was so green, I really didn't even know what a confessional was. And I just went in and played my heart out, and I thought that the narrative would reflect that. But it was telling other people's stories. And so I felt like, when I watched it back, I was like, 'Oh my god, what am I doing here? Did I even deserve this?' And I and a lot of people didn't believe that I did. I was insecure about the win in general, and it's taken me a long process and a lot of therapy to learn that it doesn't matter what people say, I should be proud of that moment, but I didn't feel proud in the moment."
Kellie, meanwhile, relitigates her feelings behind her shocking blindside in Season 45, which prompted one of the most memorable exit lines in recent memory in, "What the hell, guys?" As she recounts, while the quote has become the biggest moment associated with her 16 days in the game, she had completely blacked out in the moment out of surprise, anger, and despair.
Over the course of the podcast, the two women were able to find out more about each other, as commonalities emerged. Both, for example, were not aware at all of the deep well of online reality TV fandom when they had initially applied for the show. But they differentiate in a number of ways. One of the main ones exposed in the opening episode of "The Social Game": Michele has not watched Survivor since her time on Winners at War. That means she has not seen any of the "new era," including the season of her own cohost.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg for Michele, Kellie, and "The Social Hour" in general. As the two teased at the end of the podcast, Season 45 winner Dee Valladares will be joining them next week, with more games, segments, and plenty of banter to follow. With a month and a half until the return of Survivor, this podcast is a new way for fans to get the show back on the brain, as two former castaways who hadn't met six months ago grow to become not only healthy co-hosts, but friends. "The Social Hour," suffice it to say, does not sound like a bunch of malarkey to me.
