Shirin Oskooi is one of those people who we really enjoy having on “Survivor,” mostly because she’s there for one reason and one reason only: She loves the game. She doesn’t need the money, doesn’t really seem interested in the fame, and she probably nerds out about strategy in the way that we would out there. […]

Tasha Fox is one of those people who, going into “Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance,” you thought was going to be a pretty sure thing to be on the season. She was immensely popular her first time around, she’s a fighter, and she’s a longtime fan of the show. These are the sorts of things that […]
We try to be as unbiased as possible in these “Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance” spotlights, but we should preface this one with a few things that we’ve said in past articles over the years: Stephen Fishbach is probably our favorite player of all time.
