Survivor Kaoh Rong review

“Survivor: Kaoh Rong” kicked off its finale with just four people … and it ended with three. What we had in between was probably one of the slower-paced finales we’ve ever seen. We wouldn’t call it boring, but there were certainly better ones for many different reasons. The biggest thing that this finale did that […]

Throughout “Survivor: Kaoh Rong,” we have heard constant conversations about how this was the most brutal season to date. Therefore, it’s somewhat sad and ironic to see the latest elimination from the game be the direct result of something that happened while at the spa. While we want to pull a “Walking Dead” here and […]

We’ve spent so much time as of late really talking about “Survivor” in the context of the edit, and now, we really do feel like the timing is right that we choose to give the team a huge round of applause for completely duping us and then some Wednesday night’s new episode. If we were […]

In the wake of last week’s epic blindside on “Survivor: Kaoh Rong,” it was fairly clear that the show was going to have a mighty hard time equaling the pure excitement level of what we just saw with Scot being sent home from the game. Was the boot of Julia the right way to top […]

Dan Foley. Stephen Fishbach. These are two “Survivor” players who really have very little in common beyond of course one thing: An advantage. They found them in the game, and they were eventually voted out because of their “threat” status. The moment that Tai got the advantage on this episode, we knew that he would […]

There is very little that is scarier in this game on “Survivor” than a hidden immunity idol … let alone two of them. This was the basis for Wednesday night’s new episode, and a decision that was seemingly made by the dominant alliance: They didn’t want to leave their fate up to chance. We have […]

We walked away from Wednesday night’s new episode of “Survivor” with what we can best describe as a complicated series of emotions over precisely what we ended up seeing take place. First and foremost, it was joy at a great blindslide. There’s nothing quite like that rush that comes with seeing someone who is extremely […]

“Survivor: Tocantins.” If there is one clear comparison that we’d make between the “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” merge episode and another one that we’ve seen in recent years, that one is it. Another good one would be “Survivor: San Juan del Sur.” You see, all of these episodes have a fairly-similar editing pattern when it comes […]

While we’ve seen every episode of “Survivor,” at the same exact time it’s been a long time since we’ve seen many of them. How big of a precedent is there for someone writing down a person’s name, crossing it out, and then writing someone else instead? Tonight’s episode ended with one of the crazier things […]

Last week’s episode of “Survivor: Kaoh Rong” was extremely compelling from the standpoint of drama, as we saw the most harrowing medical crisis in the history of the show. This week, it’s only fair that we follow that with an extremely compelling episode strategically. Let’s boil this down to the important stuff: The entirety of tonight’s […]
