“Survivor” is a beast of a series. There’s no other way to put it at this point. It set television records through its first two seasons, and while it has since fallen in terms of numbers and zeitgeist, it’s still a significant contributor to CBS. It has a fan base that is as active as […]
It’s been a long time since Australia has had their own version of “Survivor.” More than a decade ago, the format was first tested, and a few years later, the country did something that has not even happened here in America: A celebrity version. Neither version lasted long. Luckily, the show is now back with […]

The Outstanding Reality Competition Program category at the Primetime Emmy Awards is broken. It has been for years. When you look at the nominees, routinely they include “The Voice,” “Top Chef,” “The Amazing Race,” and “Project Runway.” All are good shows, but we suspect at times that the voters aren’t taking the category seriously and don’t […]

CBS today unveiled their full schedule for the fall (including premiere dates), and we gotta say that there is really not much on here that is going to shock you, other than maybe the JonBenet Ramsay miniseries “Case Closed” being prominent in September and then maybe “Scorpion” getting a two-hour premiere. This is not a […]
Sure, “Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X” may not be airing on CBS until September most likely, but why should we let that stop us from sharing some of the first news about it? Apparently, something is going to happen really early in the show that is, at least through 32 seasons, unique, and the reactions […]
We’re now a solid 36 hours or so removed from the end of “Survivor: Kaoh Rong,” and with that, we feel pretty confident in placing both this show and its winner in Michele Fitzgerald into our lengthy season / winner rankings. Sometimes there are occasions where we change a few things around due to time […]
On Wednesday night, “Empire” ended its second season with a finale that you can definitely describe as crazy and then some, thanks to the wide array of nutty twists that were thrown out there. It turns out that Lucious has a half-brother, that Jamal is alive, and that it’s certainly possible that either Rhonda, Anika, […]
“Survivor” season is officially winding down. “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” officially ended last night, and we just spoke with the final three earlier today. (Cydney was traveling, and was unavailable for most exit interviews.) So what’s left to do? Tomorrow, we’ll be updating our twice-annual season / winner rankings, and there are some interesting discussions to […]

There has probably never been a contestant in the history of “Survivor” quite like Tai Trang, and it is so easy to be drawn to him after watching him play the game. He was funny, kind, compassionate, and he loved animals to the point that he managed to keep Mark the Chicken alive all the […]

Last night, “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” had what may be one of the most hotly-debated finales we’ve seen in quite some time, as Michele Fitzgerald took home the Sole Survivor title over Aubry Bracco and Tai Trang. Each person contributed something to the game, but as many Aubry fans have noted, she played a dominant strategic […]
