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 […]

We had a double-dose of action on Wednesday night’s “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” episode, and so, we’re going to be reviewing this fantastic hour of television in a more straightforward way. Really, what we know is this: Cochran really stepped up his game this week, and proved himself to be a serious strategic threat […]

If there is one way that we can best describe the new episode of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” from Wednesday night, it’s this: After last week’s episode, nothing else was going to come close to being as epic. Luckily, CBS still managed to put out a solid hour of TV, complete with an immunity […]

What a weird, entertaining episode of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” this was: there were countless twists and turns along the way, and also some genuine strategy talk. Of course, much of this was overshadowed in the first half-hour of the episode courtesy of Dawn Meehan having a complete and utter mental breakdown. There’s so […]

About half an hour into this episode of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites,” there was a definite reason to jump up and down with excitement. Thanks in part to a reward challenge that separated the eleven remaining players, there was time for some brilliant strategy that could lead to one of the greatest blindsides ever. […]

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 […]

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 […]

We love the idea of the tribal swap on “Survivor”: while this may be unfair to people who have a good thing going, it keeps the alliances shifting and helps to prevent a sort of Boston Rob-like domination at the end of the game. Sadly, there are exceptions to every rule. When there was a […]

Sometimes on “Survivor,” there is an episode so insane that you really don’t even know where to start. Ultimately, there really is no better way to explain the new episode that aired Wednesday night. By far, this was the most stunning hour of the season thus far, and it’s surely going to be one that […]

Wednesday night’s new episode of “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites” had a very “One World” feel to it. What do we mean here? The simple answer here is that we had a very unlikable contestant suddenly see his journey end due to injury. However, the difference here is that while Colton Cumbie lasted until episode […]
