InsideTV Podcast: J'Tia from 'Survivor' explains her 'scorched earth' move

You might expect someone that struggled mightily in pretty much every single challenge, tossed out her tribe’s food supply, took the lead on building a terrible shelter, and then got voted out one day before a tribe shake-up that could have completely changed her fortunes in the game to have some regrets from her experience on Survivor: Cagayan. But not when then someone is nuclear engineer J’Tia Taylor. One day after being eliminated on the show, J’Tia called into Entertainment Weekly Radio (SiriusXM, channel 105) to talk about how it all went wrong, and we mean ALL went wrong. And now you can hear the entire interview right here on the InsideTV Podcast.

J’Tia gamely answers questions about her lack of prowess in challenges, her shelter-building difficulties, and, of course, what the hell she was thinking by dumping out all of that rice. Also, does she really love nerds as much as her t-shirt says she does? Listen in by clicking on the audio icon below to hear the whole thing for yourself.

But first we sit down with some people that have fared slightly better on television. Modern Family star — and, for my money, the funniest man on television — Ty Burrell stops by to chat about the hit ABC sitcom. We also talk about his new movies (Muppets Most Wanted and Mr. Peabody & Sherman) as well as the fact that we wear the same sweater and have both appeared as zombies: me on The Walking Dead, Burrell on Dawn of the Dead. You will not want to miss Burrell’s embarrassing zombie story from the set.

And then we welcome the woman from the number one comedy on television as Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik pops in to break down Amy’s big kiss with Sheldon and explain why she does not even watch her own show. Plus, we see if Bialik can match her lines of dialogue up with her various roles over the years as we make her play a game of You Said It!
