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, […]
Is “Survivor: Philippines” really going to let the Matsing tribe completely and totally fall apart? That is really the question that every diehard fan wants to know at the moment, since this is really the producers’ last opportunity to swap up the tribes before subjecting us to the first one-person tribe since Stephenie LaGrossa ran […]
When it comes to its pre-merge game, “Survivor: Philippines” has been at times almost a chore. We’ve seen the same result every week, and even though we have a feeling that some sort of merge has to be coming up soon, we’re also not quite sure that it is going to be coming up soon […]
Can a merge just get here on “Survivor: Philippines” already? We’re continuing to see all sorts of crazy stuff happen on the Tandang and Kalabaw tribes, but it really doesn’t seem to matter based solely on the fact that Matsing cannot win a challenge to save their lives. With this in mind, it’s hard to […]
There’s something that we find rather fun in getting behind-the-scenes looks at “Survivor” challenges, mainly because what is supposed to happen on paper does not often happen during the actual game. Often, contestants find new ways to make the challenge easier while under duress, and they also manage to figure out ways to struggle that […]
