Can somehow rename “Survivor: Philippines” a name like “Survivor: Holding Pattern”? That’s what we feel like at the moment. Everyone saw Katie Hanson’s exit coming a mile away, and with that we have a first here: rankings that are exactly the same as the week before already. While some people dug their holes even deeper […]
Katie Hanson was the sort of contestant on “Survivor: Philippines” who, more than anything else, fell victim to bad circumstance. Even though Jeff Probst frequently made her the poster child of failure during some of the challenges (even though she often did not deserve it), she was still part of what was presumably the dominant […]
Let’s start off this review of “Survivor: Philippines” by saying the following: anyone who criticizes Skupin and Penner for organizing a deal during the reward challenge is crazy. These two tribes would have sat out there in the mud for hours, killing their energy and potentially even risked an injury that would have taken them […]
We are presumably inching ever closer to the merge happening on “Survivor: Philippines,” and if we were one of these tribes at this moment, we would be thinking about one thing: who is not going to help you later in the game, and who is going to an incredible physical threat? This is why if […]
When you are a returning player on “Survivor” surrounded by newbies, there is a natural tendency more or less to expect them to ally with another returning player. After all, it’s sometimes hard to win against newbies in the end, especially if you have a jury who feels as though you don’t deserve if for […]
Now, the tables have finally turned on “Survivor: Philippines.” Rather than sitting at the bottom of a terrible tribe in Matsing that may be challenging Ulong from “Palau,” as the worst to ever play this game, two players finally have a new lease on life in Malcolm Freberg on Tandang and Denise Shipley on Kalabaw. While […]
We had a rare pre-merge double-elimination episode on “Survivor: Philippines,” and in some ways there was also some irony here. Had Dana Lambert been evacuated from the game next week rather than opting to leave this time, she would have been the fifth castaway ever to leave the game due to medical reasons in the […]
After watching Wednesday night’s new episode of “Survivor: Philippines,” there was really one thing that we realized above all else: Jeff Probst is not only a great host, but he is also a great executive producer. He’s never been one afraid to call someone out during a bad challenge, but regardless of whether or not […]
After four episodes of seeing much of the same thing happen time and time again on “Survivor: Philippines,” Wednesday night’s all-new episode may finally be bringing us something new. So what can we expect to see unfold? There are still a number of mysteries here, but we do have quite a bit to look forward […]
When we saw the first “next time on…” preview at the end of last week’s episode of “Survivor: Philippines,” it was pretty easy to jump to one conclusion: Jeff Kent’s knee must have been giving him some trouble, as Jeff Probst made a rare visit to camp and there was a doctor alongside him. (Wait, […]
