## Resource

In this episode of Beyond the Torch, Todd & Leslie cover for a no-show guest by doing something they’ve long promised fans: reading from Leslie's pre-and post-game journal written during Survivor China. With humor and candor, they walk through her entries from the exhausting multi-day journey to China — planes, trains, buses — through the tense pre-game isolation period, where Leslie's journal reveals her deep faith, fear of death, and constant internal struggle, contrasting sharply with Todd's looser, game-focused mindset. Along the way they reminisce about camp life — venomous snakes everywhere, James's nicotine withdrawal rage, fantasy food games with limes, and Todd's dark night in the mud on day 17 — while also touching on the Survivor fan community, Todd's Facebook group (the TPS chat), and a heartfelt voicemail from a fan named Debbie.
