Now that we are just one week away from the finale to “Survivor: Philippines,” this is the time where we start to take a look not only at the season as a whole, but start to look forward to the future of the franchise. With that, we come to an annual tradition as valued as […]
Do you keep a maligned player in the game, or do you do the “honorable” thing and get rid of her over people deemed more deserving? In many ways this is an infuriating debate for the contestants on “Survivor: Philippines” to have, but yet they are doing it anyway. Let’s try to paint the situation […]
