On Wednesday night’s new episode of “Survivor,” we could see an unprecedented level of pouting courtesy of Rodney, who is apparently deciding for whatever reason that his birthday should be very special. In a sense, we get it: You want to be partying with your pals, and instead on the show you are living on […]
Even though we have discussed “Survivor: Worlds Apart” at length this season, we still do not necessarily feel like we have addressed in full some of the controversy around it enough. This has not been a season that has so far matched the hype from Jeff Probst; while there are great moments of strategy, many […]
“Survivor: Worlds Apart” is definitely the most polarizing season we have covered, and it may be the most polarizing season in general (and we say that as someone who has seen almost every episode over the years). There have been some truly terrible things that we have witnessed, and while there have been some really […]
We’ve really enjoyed watching Shirin Oskooi on “Survivor: Worlds Apart,” mostly because it is not often that we see someone with as developed of a story arc over the course of a season as her. At first, we though she was going to be relatively doomed after being deemed “annoying” by some tribe members, and she […]
This has not exactly been the best spring ever for CBS when it comes to the ratings, but at least until this week, “Survivor” had been pretty immune to it. So why did “Survivor: Worlds Apart” last night fall to a series-low (not including recap episodes / day-before-Thanksgiving installments) 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic? As […]
What is it with people on “Survivor: Worlds Apart” threatening to quit the game? A few weeks ago, it was Jenn doing this. Now, it is Rodney. In the preview that aired after tonight’s episode, we saw the show’s resident big personality tell people to go ahead and vote him out, just so that he […]
“Survivor: Worlds Apart” had an episode tonight that certainly did not back away from some recent controversy in the lightest. Right when you thought that Dan was sympathetic during his conversation with Shirin in the opening, he then turned around and was a complete jerk in the confessionals. The bad behavior continued: Will refused to […]
When you are playing “Survivor,” you always want to count the numbers in any possible. Everyone had started to figure out a way to read how things go at the final eight … or at least they did over the past several seasons. The Vote Doubler as a twist changes things. Now, you really just need […]
“Survivor: Worlds Apart” is being very tricky this season in regards to its edit. While the show has certainly made you root for underdogs before (see Ciera Eastin or Spencer Bledsoe), they were on seasons that still had winners that were easy to get behind (in Tyson Apostol and Tony Vlachos). Can we really say […]
Jenn Brown was a fascinating person to follow on “Survivor: Worlds Apart” over the past several weeks. There were times when we considered her to be a potential threat to win the entire game, largely because of her edit, having an immunity idol for a while, and having a pretty good social game and some strategy. […]
