Just as you would imagine, CBS has to feel pretty good about its slate of reality competition shows right now, even if both “Survivor” and “Big Brother” are ancient by modern TV standards. The premiere for the Jeff Probst-hosted show’s 29th season, entitled “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” managed to actually rise versus last season’s […]
Tonight, we witnessed the first episode of “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” and it was almost as bit as entertaining as what we had almost any other season. There was an interesting twist, the return of Exile Island, and of course some big personalities. Ultimately, though, we are still far too early in the game to […]
Survivor, Survivor: San Juan del Sur review
Going into “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” we were worried almost immediately about whether or not “Blood vs. Water” would work without returning players. So far, though, it has remained compelling television. You have some great characters, the new Exile Island twist was interesting, and there is some strategy being played in the early going. […]

While we still do have a few more spotlight articles for “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” to finish before Wednesday’s premiere, we wanted to get this annual predictions article out there this weekend. It’s a chance to really digest all of these, and to possibly laugh at some of our predictions in the event we’re […]
We have made it not secret at all over the years that we are not the biggest fan of beauty-pageant contestants on reality TV shows, and mostly because of the fact that there seems to be such an uneven proportion of them compared to ordinary people. Also, the stories for most of them are the […]
John Rocker may be the most controversial first-time “Survivor” player of all time. He is coming on this show with a ton of baggage, whether you look at him being a celebrity, or look at some of the things that he said both during and after his career in baseball. However, we’re not going to […]
We are taking a day’s break from our “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” spotlight series, mostly for the simple reason that we want to talk about the casting of John Rocker before actually discussing him as a player.
