You knew almost from the moment that Joe Anglim was voted out of “Survivor” this season that he would be thrown back into another season; you may just not have thought it would be happening so quickly. When you look at his resume, his inclusion into “Survivor: Second Chance” is almost a formality. He is […]
We always liked Jeff Varner, but he was one of those guys we had almost forgot about as a contender to return for another “Survivor” season. After all, how was CBS going to justify bringing him back in 2015? It had been so long since the second season, and the argument would be made in […]
We’re going to start this “Survivor: Second Chance” voting spotlight with a hefty dose of nostalgia. We were a “Survivor” fan long before working as a professional writer, but there were times we would come in sometimes a week or two late and have to catch up (hard during the early seasons). There were some […]
Remember how Jeff Probst repeatedly hyped that “Survivor: Worlds Apart” was going to be a great season? To us, one of the only ways that this can be ensured is in the event that we actually see Mike Holloway wins. While Carolyn has been a good player and Rodney is tremendous for crazy entertainment, much […]
One of the cool things about “Survivor: Second Chance” as a concept is that it allows the public to vote, and with that gives opportunities to players like Jim Rice. We’re not sure that he would be getting an opportunity to come back other for another season otherwise (unless it is “Survivor: Guys Who Look […]
What makes Jeremy Collins a great person to return? It’s hard to know where to start here: The guy is a physical competitor, a longtime fan of the show, a strategist, and a pretty good social player. He had a little bit of bad luck on “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” and probably also underestimated […]
Shane Powers is to us one of the most fascinating and entertaining “Survivor” players of all time. He’s incredibly honest (even to his detriment in the game), often abrasive, and yet there is a certain tenderness to him when you think about how much the guy loves his son. He has been in the mix […]
It is pretty well-known at this point that “Survivor” loves its contestants with Southern accents. Just look at Colby, Big Tom, JT, and now Keith Nale. He’s a guy who comes into the “Survivor: Second Chance” voting as a big personality from “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” and a guy who famously screwed over his […]
Is Abi-Maria Gomes worthy of “Survivor: Second Chance“? As with many other contenders for season 31, this is one that will depend on your perspective. If you are voting for people who you found to be entirely heroic in their first season, she may not be the list. The same goes for if you fill […]
Given how long Shirin Oskooi has longed to be on “Survivor,” the past year or so for her has to be some sort of crazy thrill. While her “Survivor: Worlds Apart” experience was far from perfect, it was a chance for her to go out and play the game that she’s loved for so long. […]
