Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see is the ridiculous advantage that a returning player has on “Survivor” when no one else has seen them play the game. They’ve gotten the experience of being in the game out of the way, and we think the question marks surrounding them far help them more […]
Corinne Kaplan was pretty quiet for the first few episodes of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites,” but when the show finally featured her, they definitely went all-out. She played a huge part in the last few episodes as she butted heads often with “The Specialist” Phillip Sheppard, and ended up going home after failing to […]
Merge episodes are traditionally one of the best of any “Survivor” season, and we have to say that this one really did not disappoint. There were all sorts of twists and turns, pure hilarity (Malcolm naming the tribe after his grandmother, which we’re pretty sure is a chapter in the BR rules playbook), and also […]
There are some challenges on “Survivor” that tend to polarize audiences, and for a variety of reasons. For example, many people find watching puzzle after puzzle to be boring, and what to see more physical challenges or ones that feature the castaways having to do gross things. However, there are also some who would rather […]
There’s no questioning that there has never been five people more in need of a merge on “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” than the members of the Bikal tribe. They continue to lose challenges left and right, and their own personal dysfunction would probably eat them alive if they stayed together much longer. So with […]
Sometimes, Jeff Probst and the folks over at “Survivor” do a pretty great job at reading our mind. We were just starting to feel as though it had been a while since we had seen a food challenge on the show, and Wednesday night’s new “Fans vs. Favorites” episode is going to have that. Not […]
Let’s face it: it’s pretty easy to feel for Julia Landauer after her edit on “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites.” She received little to no screen time for the better part of the season, and the race car driver only really entered the picture the past two weeks when she was targeted in the newly-formed […]
We feel for the Bikal tribe on “Survivor Caramoan.” It’s not their fault that they were put together, and it’s also not their fault that they have Phillip Sheppard attempting to run the show. On a certain level, we can see him being an asset if you are on a tribe that wins challenges: he’s […]
Well, CBS certainly wanted to ensure that most of their primetime programming felt secure going into the Easter holiday. After all, the network announced today that they are renewed the vast majority of their block for another season, including some that were expected and a few surprises. Before we dive into the analysis of this […]
While there have been a number of “Survivor” seasons to feature women’s alliances, and even two in Micronesia and One World to have a final four comprised of just ladies, there really hasn’t been a successful alliance built up of several alpha males that goes deep into the game. The only time that it has […]
