Redemption Island, returning players, and mention of the Hantz family. These are the aspects of “Survivor” that were not a part of “One World” … and the world was a better place because of it. Overall, we have to say that “One World” is easily the most-promising season premiere since “Nicaragua,” and since that one […]
We are now only a number of days away from the premiere of “Survivor: One World,” and thus begins a tradition around these parts of taking a look at the series as a whole, and then trying to sort out where all of these random castaways stand without even seeing a second of them playing […]
Earlier this week, we kick-started our pre-show coverage of “Survivor: One World” by looking at the actual twists that could be making this season one of the most ambitious (and Hantz-less) in quite some time. But as any real fan knows, it’s not about the structure of the show so much as it is the […]
It’s really crazy to think that we are entering the 24th season of “Survivor,” a show that has managed to grow and evolve so extensively over the years. A show that was once about adventure has in many ways evolved to emphasize the social mindgames along with the power of alliances. Unfortunately, it at times […]
Remember when reality TV still had that new-car smell to it? Unfortunately, it’s been taken for so many test-drives that now it feels as though it’s running on fumes. Since we try to be a solutions-oriented site (after all, it’s better than just complaining), we’ve come up with some ways to try and save some […]
Sometimes, the winner of “Survivor” is not always the person who plays a flashy game — and oftentimes, they are people who manage to succeed thanks to subtlety, personal relationships, and smart strategy. These reasons are why Sophie Clarke was a great winner for “South Pacific,” as she managed to use logic rather than faith […]
As anticipated, the “Survivor: South Pacific” reunion Sunday night played out just about as everyone would expect it to. After Sophie won the show, we then ended up having to watch Jeff Probst spend the majority of the time talking to a few assorted people who received tons of screen time. Even though there were […]
It’s been a long journey on “Survivor: South Pacific,” but Sunday night finally brought us to a conclusion that was in some ways satisfying. Before we get to the final results, let’s look at some of the reasons this episode really shined: 1. The final duel – Brandon vs. Ozzy was incredible, mainly because we […]
When we write about “Survivor,” we like to take a look back near the finale every season to see just who we could imagine seeing on the show again. Granted, with “South Pacific” we already have two All-Stars — so we can already probably exclude these two from the list. Otherwise, let’s look at some […]
We are getting near the grand finale for “Survivor: South Pacific,” and with that we are having to say goodbye to a number of friendly faces. As it turns out, Edna Ma is one of those faces. She seemed friendly and willing to help at any point on the show, but was unfortunately undone by […]
