J.P. Hilsabeck is the sort of Survivor contestant that you look at and say “well, obviously you’re going to do really well.” He’s young, he’s athletic, he’s driven, and he’s going to be a good member of an alliance. He understands why he’s there, and also what he contributes to a tribe. We’re not going to go so […]
One of the things that we do like about how Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers is setting up their contestants is how they’re letting the theme of the season dictate their narrative — but not in an aggressive way. Rather than having to hear about silly things like brains vs. brawns vs. beauty or whether or […]
Patrick Bolton is a part of the Hustlers tribe on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers this season, and he certainly seems to fit the billing. He’s a guy who understands the value of hard work, who’s going to be an asset around camp, and could also be the resident “Southern boy” of the season. He’s not […]
Today, we’re officially kicking off our Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers spotlight series, and we’re doing this with a player in Alan Ball who excites us greatly! For one, he’s an NFL alum who played for the Dallas Cowboys (we grew up in Dallas, so hometown bond) and our other favorite team in the Jacksonville Jaguars. […]
As we get closer to starting our cast spotlight series on Monday, why not share a Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers video today? This is the first opportunity that we’ve had to see all of the castaways out preparing to be on the island, and they’re all currently enthusiastic and not as worried about the elements, […]
Today, the Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers cast is officially upon us, and there’s a ton to be psyched about when it comes to that. This is the 35th season of the show, and we’re getting back somewhat to what we love about the show. There are all-new players, and the three-tribe format that we’ve seen […]
For everyone out there keeping track (and we know that many of you are), it’s only a little over a month before the return of Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers premieres on CBS. September 27 is the premiere date, and hopefully it will be a great season despite its wonky title that continues to confuse us […]
Throughout the month of July, we’ve tackled a lot of questions in our TV Lifespans series about the future of many different shows. Today, we’re looking at this very subject through the lens of Survivor. It’s been one of our favorite shows for many years, and it’s one we still love and continue to cover. In a […]
Being an effective Reality Host is one of the most underrated tasks in the business. Do you have to be entertaining? Absolutely, but you also need to be adept at managing personalities and figuring out how to keep a show together. Without a good host, the show goes off the rails, or it doesn’t have […]
If you did enjoy the Final Tribal Council twist at the end of Survivor: Game Changers, signs point to it sticking around a while. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly while on set for the upcoming 36th season of the show (slated to air this spring), executive producer Matthew Van Wagenen explains why he and Jeff Probst are continuing […]
