If there is one thing we’ve learned in watching 25 seasons of “Survivor,” it’s this: the person you expect to go home, especially in these episodes where it is painted as though it is them against everyone, rarely ends up going home at first. Just look at how Troyzan lasted for a week on “One […]
Pete Yurkowski did a lot of things right on “Survivor: Philippines,” whether it be his passion for strategy, trying to forge bonds with other people, and even some of his performances in challenges. Unfortunately for him, what really seemed to hurt him in this game is that he couldn’t see the forest (or in this […]
Since we are doing our “Survivor: Philippines” exit press with Pete Yurkowski at a different time than usual on Monday, we are changing things up a little bit here when it comes to getting our rankings online earlier than usual. So really for this one week only, we are going to be taking a step […]
What do you do when you now longer have an immunity idol, and everyone else on the tribe against you? Abi-Maria Gomes on “Survivor: Philippines” is about to find out. The Brazilian spitfire, who had a bit of a breakdown at tribal council over some of her behavior thus far on the show, is now […]
We say this just about every year, but for whatever reason networks never listen: why in the world are you airing new programming on Thanksgiving? This is a day when routinely there are very few people with the time or the patience to tune in to new episodes, especially when there is everything from travel […]
Is there any doubt at this point that “Survivor: Philippines” is easily one of the best seasons in years? We’re not sure just where it will land until we release our season rankings following the finale, but so far this is a thing of beauty. Part of this is luck in that we lost some of […]
Thanks in part to last week’s game-changing episode of “Survivor: Philippines,” one of our remaining castaways is in a unique situation on Wednesday night’s new episode: win immunity, or be the top target to go home. On this occasion, the guy we are specifically talking about here is Pete Yurkowski. The first question we have […]
Before we delve too deep into our “Survivor: Philippines”rankings for the week, we have to start things out with some praise. How good is this season? Very good; as a matter of fact, this may be the strongest season overall featuring some first-time players since the mad clusterf–k known as “Survivor: Gabon.” There are just […]
Considering that we picked Artis Silvester to win “Survivor: Philippines” before the start of the season, it’s pretty fair to say that we were rather sad to see the guy go on Wednesday night. After all, the guy had a tough time out there: despite coming across as very likable in the pre-show interviews, he […]
The only thing more entertaining than a game-changing move on “Survivor” is when it happens thanks partially in part to someone else being completely awful all of the time … and thus, we have what we can best refer to as comeuppance. Somehow, this season in the Philippines is living up to being the best […]
