Survivor Know-it-Alls is a podcast hosted by Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach. The concept is that they are the two guys who know everything about Survivor except how to win the game. Originating in Survivor: Philippines, the show is recorded live after the episode and focuses heavily on breaking down the strategic moves of the episode.
Recent seasons have seen Rob and Stephen trade off the title of "Knowingest Know-It-All" after making certain bets at points during their coverage. The competition began when Rob correctly predicted Missy would last longer than Jon Misch in Survivor: San Juan Del Sur, but Stephen took the title back when he correctly bet that the blue collar alliance would win out over the no collar alliance in Survivor: Worlds Apart. Rob currently holds the title after controversially stealing the crown on May 4th after Stephen was incorrect that Kyle Jason from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng would make the finals. Rob created a "Knowingest Know-It-All" trophy to go with the title, and "Shut Up, Tim" has made a parody song about the distinction.
Know-it-Alls Live
Starting in Survivor: San Juan Del Sur, at least one edition of Know-it-Alls was done as a live show at a comedy club, featuring a live viewing of the episode and various Survivor guests in the area. The show stayed chiefly in New York City until Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, when a live show on the West Coast began as well.
Notable reality show guests at the Live Know-it-Alls shows include Eric Stein, Andrea Boehlke, Sophie Clarke, Eliza Orlins, Francesca Hogi, Max Dawson, Corinne Kaplan, Jonathan Penner, Parvati Shallow, John Fincher, Bret LaBelle, Chris Hammons, Shirin Oskooi, Ethan Zohn, Adam Klein, Jessica Lewis, Reynold Toepfer, Kim Spradlin, Burton Roberts, Colby Donaldson, Cirie Fields, Wendell Holland, and Domenick Abbate.

Love Know-it-Alls
In late 2017, Stephen came to Rob with the idea of applying their sense of strategic know-how to the dating scene. Thus, in January of 2018, the "Love Know-it-Alls" was born. Announced on RHAPpy Holidays 2017, the show involved Stephen and Rob giving romantic advice via listener-submitted questions. Each episode following the premiere episode featured Survivor alumni as guests: Michele Fitzgerald, Natalie Anderson, Simone Nguyen, Brice Izyah, Sophie Clarke, and Dr. Mike Zahalsky.
