In our “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” exit interview earlier this month, we talked a little bit to winner John Cochran about his ambitions to become a writer. While he did not have a goal in mind just yet for what sort of writer he wanted to be, he made it clear that it was […]
We’ve taken a few days since the finale of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” before writing our take on the season in review, and where it stands in comparison to some others, for one basic reason: We did not want to be writing this while coming across as impulsive, or freaking out over something awesome […]
If you think back to before this season, it’s possible that you imaged John Cochran winning “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites.” However, we have a very difficult (i.e. impossible) time believing that you seriously expected the law student to actually go into the game, win four important individual challenges, and put himself in a position […]
The “Survivor” finale night is a whirlwind for most of the contestants. Let’s try to give a little bit of insight. The reunion show finishes taping at about 8:00 p.m. Pacific time, and following that you have various on-camera interviews at the scene coupled with an adrenaline rush of being on live TV (unless you […]
When you look back at the finale for “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” on Sunday night, it’s almost sad just how much Erik Reichenbach was treated as an afterthought. The moment that he left the final six tribal council where Brenda was voted off, he went down and medical pulled him from the game moments […]
We’ve said really for the past few weeks that if John Cochran makes it to the end of “Survivor Carmaoan: Fans vs. Favorites,” he has the same shot of winning as we do of falling asleep every night. It’s almost surely going to happen unless something is wrong in the universe. Not only did he […]
Going into Sunday night’s finale for “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites,” we have a serious amount of trepidation that we could be in for a bad ending, and potentially one of the worst since Fabio back in “Nicaragua.” Why? Basically, this is the same situation of danger that we had in “Redemption Island”. There’s one […]
We’re in a torn position as a “Survivor” fan when it comes to Brenda Lowe and Dawn Meehan. Why? We understand how they both feel! From Brenda’s point of view, she was screwed over by a woman who she not only trusted, but she took care of. She helped Dawn when she was melting down and […]
Survivor, Survivor: Caramoan review
When you see someone make a mistake the first time on “Survivor” and they are invited back, there is really just one thing that you have to hope for: That they won’t do it again. For Dawn the first time around, for example, it was not speaking up when she had an opportunity to do […]
After getting off to a pretty slow start and forcing us to endure weeks of character moments over gameplay, “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” has really redeemed itself with a pretty fun most-merge game. Last week was the first time since the tribes joined up that we had a predictable boot in Reynold Toepfer, and […]
