Survivor, Survivor: San Juan del Sur review
Who would’ve thought that two episodes into “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” John Rocker would be one of the most useless people on his tribe? Sure, he’s built like a tank, but not only could he not defeat the other John during the sumo-style immunity challenge (as seen on the last “Blood vs. Water” and […]
CBS has released a new promo for Wednesday’s “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” and this really is the promo that we should have received after the premiere rather than that terrible “supertease” that told us way more about the season than we wanted to know in advance. This preview doesn’t give anything major away specifically, […]
While not everyone may be particularly psyched by main title sequences, this is something that has become rather iconic to “Survivor” over the years. You’ve got the familiar theme song, the glimpses of the castaways in action, and the constant reminders of “39 days, 18 castaways (at least for this season), 1 survivor.” Why do […]
Now that “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” is back, we’re also pleased to introduce something that we’ve done in the past to accompany our official episode reviews: Analysis pieces.

While Nadiya Anderson brought some physical strength to the table on “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” her history of being very cutthroat on “The Amazing Race” made her a target for Dale and […]
Just as you would imagine, CBS has to feel pretty good about its slate of reality competition shows right now, even if both “Survivor” and “Big Brother” are ancient by modern TV standards. The premiere for the Jeff Probst-hosted show’s 29th season, entitled “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” managed to actually rise versus last season’s […]
Tonight, we witnessed the first episode of “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” and it was almost as bit as entertaining as what we had almost any other season. There was an interesting twist, the return of Exile Island, and of course some big personalities. Ultimately, though, we are still far too early in the game to […]
Survivor, Survivor: San Juan del Sur review
Going into “Survivor: San Juan del Sur,” we were worried almost immediately about whether or not “Blood vs. Water” would work without returning players. So far, though, it has remained compelling television. You have some great characters, the new Exile Island twist was interesting, and there is some strategy being played in the early going. […]
We’re here today with the final edition of our “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” castaway spotlight series, and there is one question that we primarily have to ask right now: Does Baylor Wilson have a chance equal to the other seventeen contestants before her? While we don’t want to insult Baylor, this is going to […]
We are just about to the end of our “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” castaway spotlight series, and with the today, we are focusing on someone who could be an interesting person to watch over the course of the next few months in Kelley Wentworth. From one vantage point, she is the archetype of the […]
